Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swordsmen Begins from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Chapter 254: Sand Flower Title

Both Konoha and the coalition of the four villages knew that this battle could not be delayed and they had to start fighting immediately after they were prepared.

However, this time it was not Konoha that took the initiative to attack, but the coalition forces of the four villages. At the same time, the 100,000-strong samurai army of the Wind Country was divided into ten, and the ten legions crossed the River Country and attacked the Fire Country.

This is the maximum number of troops that the Daimyo of the Land of Wind can mobilize, and they are all warriors who have undergone rigorous training.

Not only the Sand Village felt the terrifying background and threat of Konoha, the Daimyo of the Wind Country also felt it, and became more determined to attack the Fire Country and destroy Konoha.

If Konoha is allowed to continue developing in this way, sooner or later the ninja world will be unified, and at that time their Daimyo Prefecture's system will no longer exist.

This is a matter of life and death, there is no room for retreat.

In addition, what made the daimyos of the four major countries most angry was the collusion between the new daimyos of the Land of Fire and Konoha, which actually led to the ninja village assassinating the former daimyos in order to ascend the throne, which violated the rules they had set earlier.

Once this precedent was set, they would all have to worry that their descendants would follow suit and die without even knowing how they died.

The new daimyo of the Land of Fire must be killed to intimidate those descendants.

The warrior armies of the Earth Kingdom, the Lightning Kingdom, and the Water Kingdom also invaded the Fire Kingdom from all directions and occupied the territory of the Fire Kingdom.

Although the Fire Nation is rich in resources and has a large population, it can only muster a legion of 200,000 warriors. Divided into four, it can only send 50,000 legions to each front.

Fortunately, as the defending side, we can rely on many terrains and city defenses to delay the opponent.

However, everyone knows that the key to this battle lies not in the fight between the samurai legions, but in the ninja side.

Ninjas are far superior to samurai in terms of large-scale slaughter. For example, for a poison expert like Hanzo, given enough time, it would not be difficult to poison and kill an army of one million, let alone one hundred thousand.

Large-scale ninjutsu is a disaster for samurai, especially low-level samurai.

All of a sudden, Konoha and the Fire Nation became public enemies, besieged by forces from all over the world. They were in danger and would be destroyed if they were not careful.

"Minato, if we lose this battle, I hope you can protect Konoha and shoulder the final mission passed down to you by Mito-sama, even if it means using some extreme means."

Leading all the ninjas to stand in the open space in front of the camp, Sarutobi Hiruzen called Namikaze Minato to his side and gave him instructions in a deep voice.

He could understand Uzumaki Mito's real intention of designating Namikaze Minato as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, which was to continue to intimidate the four major ninja villages.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the Flying Thunder God Jutsu alone are nothing special, but once the two are combined, they become an unstoppable existence.

If they really have the heart to give up their principles, they would perish together with the other three ninja villages except the Hidden Cloud Village.

This is also one of the reasons why he dared to use the Impure World Reincarnation army. He was sure that the four major ninja villages would not dare to really destroy Konoha. No one would want to die with them. The four major ninja villages now at most wanted to weaken Konoha.

"I understand, Hokage-sama!"

After a moment of silence, Minato Namikaze turned his head to look at his teacher and his girlfriend Uzumaki Kyuubi, and finally nodded solemnly to show that he understood.

If that time really comes, he will naturally not care about any principles anymore. After all, his dearest teacher and girlfriend will be killed, and his home will be destroyed. All principles and morals are illusions.

And this is just a deterrent, it doesn't necessarily have to go that far. I believe the four major ninja villages definitely don't want to perish together.

"Monkey showman, you are better than me!"

At this time, a joking voice was heard. It came from a tall and thin man with a slicked-back hair and a small mustache. It was the second-generation Mizukage Hozuki Huanyue.

"Even the first Hokage is not as strong as you!"

The Second Tsuchikage rarely argued with Hozuki Gengetsu and nodded in agreement.

The Third Hokage is really strong. They know they don't have the ability to turn their own ninja village and country into the public enemy of the whole world.

The other shadows all had playful expressions on their faces. Now they could only attack with facial expressions and words, and were unable to control their bodies to fight.

Even now, the fact that they have left their consciousness behind is just the other party's attempt to manipulate them to unleash even greater combat power. That guy's control over them has become even stronger.

"If you're bored, I can make you shut up!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this indifferently, but he was quite depressed in his heart.

He never expected that the situation would turn out like this today, and the image he had painstakingly built up over the years had collapsed.

"Hey, the second generation of Kumogakure, how do you manage the village? There are many outstanding ninjas in your younger generation."

With a playful smile, Hozuki Huanyue turned his head to look at the Second Raikage, unable to conceal the envy in his eyes.

The same went for the others. Although their consciousness was suppressed in the last battle, their memories were still there. They clearly remembered the performances of the strong men from the four-village coalition, among which the performance of the Hidden Cloud Village was the most outstanding.

Not only is the Third Raikage the strongest, the ninjas under his command are also very powerful and very young. With time, they will surely become top powerhouses and will not be much worse than the Konoha side.

In comparison, the younger generations in their ninja village performed much worse, which made them feel disappointed but also envious.

The secrets within are not only wanted by the four village Kages and powerful men who were resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, but the Konoha ninjas are also very curious.

The Hidden Cloud Village is really powerful, especially its performance in recent years.

If it weren't for the deep foundation of Konoha, they might not be able to suppress it.

The Second Raikage was very pleased and relieved by these envious looks.

"It may have something to do with the style of our Hidden Cloud Village. The pure fighting style makes our thoughts more pure. Apart from those two idiots, there has been basically no internal fighting or internal consumption."

He was also surprised at the current development of the village, but he was very satisfied with the disciple. He had indeed made the right choice in choosing the right person.

"You're the idiot!"

Jinjiao and Yinjiao, who had been depressed, got angry and asked, "We didn't provoke you, why are you targeting us?"
Unfortunately, the Second Raikage was too lazy to pay attention to the two's rebuttal. Although these two people were powerful, they really had no brains.

I was actually ambushed and killed by these two idiots. What a shame!
The others ignored the two angry people and were all thinking about the words of the Second Raikage.

Internal strife and internal friction within the village is a big problem. Just look at the Hidden Mist Village, they almost ruined themselves.

However, the most brutal internal strife was still in Konoha, where the fighting became quite complicated.

The internal fighting in other ninja villages only involves two factions, but according to what they have learned in the past few days, there are at least five factions in Konoha, and they are all very powerful, not counting the neutral factions.

Konoha is really strong!
"Ugh!"

The first Mizukage Byakuren glanced at Hozuki Huanyue beside him and couldn't help but sigh.

"Old man, are you scolding me?"

Gui Deng Huan Yue suddenly turned his head to look over, feeling very unhappy.

He hated being talked about behind his back the most, let alone being scolded.

"Shouldn't you be scolded?"

The first Mizukage glanced over, feeling very disappointed with him.

“I won’t say anything about you snatching the position of Mizukage away from you. After all, you got it by relying on your own strength. This is also a reflection of the fact that the strong are respected in our Kirigakure.

But can't you control your temper?
Not long after you ascended the throne, you perished together with others. Now you leave behind a mess. Your Kizuna clan was almost wiped out, and you have to rely on the Hidden Cloud Village to clean up the mess.

Shame on you! "

After learning about the evolution of the village over the years, he was almost angry to death again, and he wished he could chop the guy next to him into pieces.

This time, Gui Deng Huan Yue rarely refuted. After all, the internal strife in the village did originate from him, and his family was almost wiped out.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the Second Generation Raikage on the other side with gratitude.

No matter what role the Hidden Cloud Village played at the time, it did save its own people. Otherwise, if the entire clan was to be exterminated, he would not have the face to see his ancestors below.

But soon a voice rang out that made him very annoyed.

"Fortunately, I made arrangements, and the village has been passed down in an orderly manner. There has been no internal strife or bloodshed in a coup."

The Second Tsuchikage said this calmly. Although he did not look at someone, everyone knew that he was mocking the Second Mizukage.

"Bandage Man, do you want to die again?"

Hozuki Huanyue was unhappy. He had been unhappy with the bandaged man for a long time, and he had been very unhappy with him since the Warring States Period. "Come and fight if you can!"

Wu Ke was not afraid of that guy hitting him. After all, the only thing they could control now was words.

This forbidden technique is really troublesome!
Compared to the tit-for-tat between Hozuki Gengetsu and Wu, the communication between the second Raikage and the two Kazekages was much more harmonious.

"You guys in the Sand Village are also very good, the two young men are very powerful, especially the one who uses Scorch Release.

Chiyo's title of Sand Flower can be passed down, and maybe your Sand Village will even have the first female Kage in the ninja world."

The woman who performed the Scorch Release that night was truly strong. Not only did she exert the power of Scorch Release to a level beyond imagination, the amount of chakra she possessed was also terrifyingly huge, making even myself, as a Kage, feel inferior to her.

“That kid is really outstanding!”

Both the First and Second Kazekage were very pleased. In the battle that day, the performance of their Sand Village was second only to the Cloud Village, mainly due to the Scorch Release girl, who was truly powerful.

It is very suitable for him to be the Fourth Kazekage. He will definitely lead the Sand Village to become stronger and better protect the village.

After communicating like this for a while, everyone suddenly fell silent and looked towards the woods in front of them.

Soon, figures walked out of the woods one after another. Leading the way were the four Kages from the four major ninja villages, followed by a group of Kage-level strongmen, and behind them were the ninja army.

Looking at the lineup of the four-village coalition, the Konoha ninjas couldn't help swallowing and looked very nervous.

This is a decisive battle, and the other side is definitely well prepared and will be more restrained against their army of the dead.

This battle will not be easy to fight, and the casualties will definitely be even heavier. They have no confidence that they can hold on to the end.

First, arrange the formation and let the perception ninja sense it. Even this time, the four major ninja villages sent ninjas with transplanted Byakugan to observe carefully to prevent Konoha ninjas from setting traps here, especially the detonating talisman type.

In the last war on the peninsula, the coalition forces of the four villages seized a lot of Byakugan. Although most of the pupil power of those Hyuga branch ninjas was extracted by Tamura Hao when he lifted the caged bird curse, which weakened the power of the Byakugan a lot, it was still enough to inspect the entire area.

However, Konoha also knew that the four-village coalition had seized a lot of Byakugan last time, and even some ninjas of the Hyuga clan had joined the Hidden Cloud Village. It was futile to set traps in front of the Byakugan, so they did not set up anything here.

Both sides are ready to fight with their hard power to see who can last to the end.

"He is not dead after all!"

Yekura looked at the figure standing beside Sarutobi Hiruzen with resentment. It was Danzo Shimura, the advisor to the Hokage of Konoha, and the former commander of the southwestern front of Konoha. He was also the culprit who had captured countless of their fellow Sand Ninjas for experiments.

The most damnable person!

"Senjutsu: Scorching Chakra Mode!"

Staring at Danzo Shimura with murderous intent, Ye Cang raised his hands and formed a seal, exerting a new power developed with the help of a certain little devil.

In an instant, the black fairy technique, burning chakra, enveloped his entire body, forming a layer of chakra coat. The high temperature it emitted made Luo Sha next to him take a few steps back. He looked incredible, and the murderous intent in his heart increased further.

This woman has become stronger again!
The Third Kazekage and others looked at Ye Cang who had exploded. This state was a bit scary!

"It's somewhat similar to Zi's Lava Release Chakra Mode."

Looking at Yekura whose whole body was covered with black chakra, Oonoki immediately thought of Yukari's Lava Release chakra mode. The two were essentially the same, but Yukari's was Lava Release, while the Burn Release user of the Sand Village was Burn Release.

Tamura Hao was very satisfied with the young lady's ultimate state. He had previously referred to Zi's Lava Release Chakra Mode and the Samsara Eye's Chakra Mode. In addition, he had the Lightning Release Chakra Mode and Sage Mode as a foundation, so he had a deep understanding of this Chakra Mode.

Then, he followed suit and developed this fairy technique, Scorch Release Chakra mode, based on the characteristics of Scorch Release, and it was integrated with Amaterasu's black Scorch Release, and with the addition of fairy techniques, it became even more powerful.

"Aren't you afraid that she will beat you to death after knowing the truth?"

Yeyue Ai's eyelids twitched, and he said something secretly through the Eight Thousand Spears Seal.

This shows quite a bit of strength.

"She needs the help of the chakra I transmit to perform this state at this stage."

Tamura Hao was very calm. Ye Cang alone could not use this mixed mode of fairy technique and burning escape, but it was based on the huge chakra transmitted by the little ten-tail.

Of course, the main reason why Ye Cang can use the chakra of the Little Ten-Tails to this extent is that the Amaterasu flame can burn chakra. Igniting the chakra of the Little Ten-Tails is equivalent to a kind of refining, which enables precise control and realization of this mode.

The reason for doing this was mainly to further stimulate Luo Shajun. Now Luo Shajun's murderous intent has increased again, and he will have no choice but to take action next.

"How did she do it?"

The most surprised person present was Jiraiya. He himself could use the Sage Mode, and he also knew that the Four-Tails Jinchuriki possessed a Melt Release Chakra Mode. He had also tried to develop it himself and had made some progress.

But now the woman opposite not only used the chakra mode of the bloodline limit, but also integrated it with the sage mode.

With the help of the perception of natural energy, he could feel the horror of that woman at the moment. Her strength had far surpassed his own level.

"Can the two chakra modes be fused?"

Minato Namikaze seemed to be thinking about something. Under the guidance of his teacher and the transformation of the Sage Talisman of the Great Toad Sage, he has initially cultivated the Sage Mode, which has a strong enhancement, but it is not as good as the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

But if the two modes are combined, there will definitely be a significant improvement.

In the past, I had only simply imagined it, had never tried it, and didn't know how to integrate it, but now there is a similar example in front of me.

At least it proves that the idea is feasible.

"Danzo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also very surprised, and immediately looked at his old friend beside him. He could see that the woman had set her sights on Danzo, and her hatred and murderous intent were not concealed at all.

But if you think about what the old friend did here, it will be understandable. The other party targeted Danzo and tried to kill him last time.

"The Sand Village can also produce such talents."

Danzo Shimura was also surprised. He was certainly familiar with the Scorch Release User, but he had never taken him seriously before. Who would have thought that he had grown to such an extent.

But he was not afraid. Although the opponent had improved a lot, he was still not as good as himself.

Without delay, he activated the sealed Dark Phoenix.

In an instant, a black flame emerged, and Shimura Danzo's body expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a black ferocious bird with a wingspan of over a hundred meters. Black flames burned on his body, emitting an extremely ominous aura, giving people a great sense of oppression.

"Tsuchikage-sama, I need the power to fly."

Seeing that Danzo Shimura had turned into a flying bird, Ye Cang thought for a moment and looked at the Third Tsuchikage in front of him.

"Earth Release: Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique!"

Without any hesitation, Ohnoki flew forward and placed his hand on Ye Cang's exposed shoulder, performing the Earth Escape Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique.

"It can only last half an hour."

After giving instructions, Ōnoki added the Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique to everyone else who could use it, and even blessed the Third Kazekage's iron sand and Rasa's sand, to help everyone increase their speed and even gain the ability to fly.

This move made Sarutobi Hiruzen on the opposite side excited, and he was ready to control the second generation Tsuchikage Muya to give them some support.

In just the next moment, the body of the Second Tsuchikage Mu appeared in front of Uchiha Hikaru, and Uzumaki Kushina next to him simultaneously extended the Diamond Seal to tightly wrap the Second Tsuchikage.

The Sealing Ninja followed up and completely sealed the Second Tsuchikage, even sealing him with Sealing Ninja Tools to prevent him from being taken away and unsealed by Konoha.

"Eye Technique!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face darkened. He realized that it should be a kind of eye technique of the opponent, and that Uchiha Hikaru was shedding tears of blood at this moment, obviously he was overloading the eye technique.

The other people also looked unhappy. The Second Tsuchikage was a strategic-level warrior, strong enough to intimidate many opponents, but now he was taken down by the opponent first, and it would definitely be more difficult to fight him next.

At the same time, this also proves that the four-village coalition has made a lot of preparations. Now only two have been revealed. How many more will be there next?
Thinking of this, everyone felt even worse, but compared to the worries of the Konoha ninjas, the four-village coalition was happy and relieved.

The combination of Dust Release, flying ability and invisibility is too unstoppable. No one can withstand the attack of Dust Release. Now that the Second Tsuchikage has been defeated, they can fight with more confidence next time without worrying about being suddenly attacked by the Second Tsuchikage.

"Finally, I can let go and fight."

A ferocious look emerged on the Third Tsuchikage's face. This was the tactic they had agreed upon before. As long as the Second-generation teacher was sealed, he would be able to free up his hands.

Whether it is used for assistance or strong attack, it can play a big role.
