Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 230: Besiege the point and attack the reinforcements, kill with a borrowed knife, and pull the ladder out after climbing up the roof
The sky was gloomy, filled with dark clouds, and rain washed everything.

On a main road, hundreds of ninjas wearing inky black raincoats stood silently.
There is a big tree in the center of hundreds of ninjas.

An old man named Maruboshi Kosuke sat under a tree with his head slightly lowered, letting the rain wash over him, as if he was asleep.

If it weren't for those horrible scars on his body, he would probably have really fallen asleep.

Even in death, his old and withered hands still held the knife.

It was just that the iron pot that he always carried with him fell not far away and broke into several pieces.

Heavy rain washed over the old man. A day had passed, and this old man, who had chosen to stay alone for the sake of his descendants, collapsed in this deserted corner.

"Everyone, three minutes of silence."

Asuma looked with a heavy face at the senior who had sacrificed his life in order to let him live.

As soon as he finished speaking, the only sound left in the world was the sound of falling rain. As a loud thunder streaked across the sky, Baiyun took off his raincoat in the morning and covered the old man with it.

Then he took out the sealing scroll and temporarily placed the old man inside.

"It's raining now, and all the clues have been washed away by the heavy rain."

Sasuke looked around and spoke.

"If we were just looking for those two guys based on clues, Sakura wouldn't have sent so many people."

"Clues can be misleading, but investigations cannot."

Kakashi glanced around at the Konoha ninjas who were like sculptures, exuding a murderous aura in the rain, and spoke.

They are all elites who experienced blood and fire in the Ninja World War three years ago.

As for Kakuzu and Sakura, the Fifth Hokage, everything was arranged completely according to wartime circumstances.

Moreover, even in wartime, this force can change the outcome of a battle.

"Without further delay, we should act now."

Mei Terumi looked around and spoke.

In rainy days, it greatly benefits her skills.

"According to the Hokage's order, immediately conduct a carpet search within the perception range of the Hyuga ninjas."

"I will dig three feet into the ground to kill those two people!"

Asuma raised his head in the rain, his dark eyes were filled with the flame of revenge!

Rain Country

The Central Tower of Rain Village

An orange-haired man in a black robe with red clouds sat on the tongue of a strange sculpture, silently gazing at the steel jungle.

The rain keeps falling.

It fell on this man.

And this world.

"Pein, Kakuzu, and Hidan are surrounded in the Land of Fire."

The blue-haired woman stood silently behind the man, holding a paper umbrella.

Pain did not say anything, but just quietly looked at the Hidden Rain Village, which he had seen countless times.

"At this moment, Uchiha Obito and his men are on their way to the Sand Village, and they don't have any extra forces to rescue Kakuzu and Hidan."

Payne spoke calmly.

In the current Akatsuki organization, besides Hiruzen who is still idle, there are only Pain and Konan left.

In addition to staying in the Hidden Cloud Village and continuing to play the role of the Raikage's courtier, Jue also has to search for the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi.

And Jue himself has no fighting ability.

"If not, let me go."

Xiaonan spoke hesitantly.

Now they have just captured the Three-Tails and they have lost Deidara, and because of Deidara's capture, the ring in his hand fell into the hands of the Hokage.

This put the Akatsuki organization in a very passive position.

Now, because of the destruction of the Fire Temple, the entire Fire Country is under martial law, and Kakuzu and Hidan are trapped in the Fire Country. If these two die in the Fire Country, it means that the plan will lose three members just at the beginning.

"Neither Kakuzu nor Hidan are ninjas who are good at hiding."

Payne watched the steel towers slowly open in the rain.

Xiaonan was a little surprised when he heard this.

Some people don't quite understand what Payne is saying.

"There is a Hyuga clan in Konoha. The grown-up Hyuga clan members can easily perceive an area of ​​several kilometers in radius."

"A whole day has passed. Even though Kakuzu and Hidan are much faster than the Konoha ninjas, they should have been caught by Hinata by now."

"It won't be long before the two of them are surrounded by Konoha ninjas."

Payne's words made Xiaonan even more worried.

"The Fire Country's border is heavily surrounded right now. Even you can't break out of those thousands of ninjas and then break out with Kakuzu and Hidan."

Payne looked up at the gloomy sky and let the rain fall on his face.

"Heavily guarding the border serves two purposes."

"One is to prevent Kakuzu and Hidan from breaking out."

"The second is to tell me that I am arresting your people. Come over here if you have the guts."

Payne's words made Xiaonan's eyes slightly widen, and he said in disbelief:
"Is it possible..."

Pein nodded and stood up, a look of amusement on his face.

"Besiege Wei and attack its reinforcements, and rescue Zhao by surrounding Wei."

"This Hokage is waiting for us to dive headfirst into the Fire Country."

"Then mobilize tens of thousands of Konoha ninjas to destroy Kakuzu, Hidan, and the reinforcements that have arrived."

"That's a really good calculation."

Payne stood up and walked back to the tower step by step.

Konan asked anxiously, "Are we going to give up Kakuzu and Hidan?"

Forget about Hidan, that disgusting religious believer, but Kakuzu is an important financial staff member and has made great contributions to the Akatsuki organization.

Payne said nothing and just walked back into the tower.

At this moment, in the shadow of the tower, stood a thin man in a white robe.

Xiaonan looked at the man and frowned slightly.

"Lord Payne, Lord Konan."

The man bowed respectfully to Pain and Konan.

"This person is Huang Quan."

Payne revealed the man's name.

The man smiled when he heard this and spoke calmly:
"I am Huang Quan, the successor of the Dark Medical Ninjutsu, and also the spokesperson for Master Wuliang."

Monsters?

Xiaonan looked at this person, and his already frowned brows deepened.

"Wangliang was one of the great demons that existed in the world thousands of years ago."

"He once caused a lot of trouble in the ninja world, but then the Sage of Six Paths appeared and sealed him away."

"And split the ghost's body and soul into two."

"The body is sealed in the body of the witch of the Demon Country, and the soul is sealed in the Bear Country."

Payne spoke calmly.

The Demon Kingdom is located northwest of the Earth Kingdom, and the Bear Kingdom is located southeast of the Fire Kingdom.

The two countries are far apart from each other, and it is obvious that the Six Paths Sage has thought carefully about how to prevent the monsters from resurrecting.

"What does this... have to do with us?"

Xiaonan spoke with some doubt.

Payne continued speaking and responded to Xiaonan's question.

"Wangliang has an army of stone men called the Terracotta Army."

"With the unsealing of the spirits of the demons, this army that has been sealed for a thousand years will reappear in the ninja world."

"And the moment the soul is unsealed, it will immediately look for a body in order to be perfectly resurrected."

"Then the Terracotta Warriors will depart from the Bear Country to the Ghost Country."

"On this journey, we will pass through the Fire Kingdom, the Rain Kingdom, and the Earth Kingdom."

At this moment, Xiaonan widened her eyes slightly and looked at Payne with some disbelief.

She already understood what Payne was thinking.

Use Wuliang's Terracotta Warriors to attack the Fire Country's defense line, creating opportunities for Kakuzu and Hidan to break through the Fire Country's border!
But! This is the great demon sealed by the Six Paths Sage!
If we release this kind of demon just for Kakuzu and Hidan, wouldn't that be...

"Kakuzu and Hidan from the Land of Fire will help your master."

"Go."

Payne looked at the man in front of him calmly.

"Yes, I thank Master Payne on behalf of my master."

The man named Huang Quan bowed respectfully to Payne and Xiaonan, then disappeared on the spot with a puff of white smoke.

What appeared here was just a shadow clone.

"Paine, do you know what you are doing?"

Seeing the outsiders leave, Xiaonan couldn't help but speak anxiously.

If a demon sealed by the Six Paths Sage himself is released just for Kakuzu and Hidan, then what is the difference between the Akatsuki organization and that demon!
"Don't worry, Xiaonan."

Payne spoke calmly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"demon?"

"Nothing is in front of these eyes."

"The spirits of the demons and the Terracotta Warriors will fall in the Rain Kingdom."

"Besides, do you think the so-called Terracotta Army can be stronger than Konoha?"

Payne's ridicule was not directed at Konan, but at the monster and Huang Quan.

"So, how many Terracotta Warriors are there?"

Xiaonan suppressed his worries and spoke with a frown.

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter how much."

"In my opinion, no matter how many there are, I can destroy them with just a wave of my hand."

Payne spoke calmly, full of confidence.

But at this moment, Xiaonan felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

After all, it's a demon related to the Six Paths Sage, so it's never too careful.

Konoha
Hokage Building
"One...ten thousand?"

Sakura looked at the ninja in front of her who was in charge of contacting the border and couldn't help but speak in surprise.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

"A huge force of stone men has appeared in the Bear Country. According to the estimates of the border ninjas, there are at least 100,000 of them!"

"There are only a thousand ninjas in charge of the border of Bear Country right now."

“There’s no way to stop them.”

The ninja spoke in a deep voice.

Sakura frowned slightly, leaned back in her chair, and began to think rapidly.

"What direction are they heading to?"

Stone man?

The scale is huge.

It should be the movie version of "Naruto's Death".

But, has it appeared so early?

And this is such a coincidence.

Thinking of Kakuzu Kakuzu who was being hunted madly in the Land of Fire at this moment, Sakura had every reason to suspect that this was Akatsuki's way of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

Use the power of monsters to help the immortal duo Kakuzu and Hidan escape and ascend to heaven.

"Northwest."

"They had a clear goal. They cut through mountains and built bridges over rivers. They marched in a completely straight line."

The ninja spoke immediately.

Upon hearing this, Sakura took out a map of the ninja world from the drawer.

We quickly found the location of the Bear Country, and the northwest direction of the straight line is...

The land of ghosts!
Sure enough!

Sakura understood.

If we start in a straight line, the Fire Kingdom will be the first to be hit, followed by the Rain Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom.

Finally arrived at the Land of Ghosts.

"Give the order to the border ninjas to make way for them."

"And evacuate civilians along their marching route."

"Also, tell Kakashi and the others that the situation has changed and complete the goal as quickly as possible."

Faced with Sakura's order, the ninja retreated without hesitation even though he had doubts in his heart.

Sakura looked at the map of the ninja world in front of her with a sneer on her face.

The tactic of killing someone with a borrowed knife is well played.

But Sakura knew that the first goal of the Terracotta Warriors was to resurrect the monsters, bring their souls to the Land of Demons, and then capture the priestess to combine the souls with the bodies.

The Terracotta Warriors are not a human army with emotions and desires.

That is to say, before arriving at the Land of Ghosts, they will not harm anything.

What will Pain do when the Terracotta Warriors pass through the Rain Country?
Even if Pain did the same as himself and chose to give way directly, even if the monsters were resurrected in the Demon Country and the opponent's power began to radiate to the surrounding areas, the Rain Country would be the first to suffer.

The Fire Nation is next in line.

Even if things get out of hand by then, Sakura will team up with Uchiha Hikaru to forcibly control the Nine-Tails. Even if Kakashi, the Double Kamui, comes, Sakura is confident that she can defeat him.

If you really can't beat him, the worst that can happen is to just throw Kakashi over and force him to fight Wuliang on equal terms!

Uh, just kidding.

In fact, Sakura felt that she and Uchiha Hikaru were enough.

The Nine-Tailed Fox is totally an insurance policy.

Although Uchiha Hikaru has not yet admitted that he is a Konoha ninja, he has been in Konoha for so long.

It's time to work for Sakura, the Hokage.

Sakura had to admit that Pain was good at using a knife to kill someone.

But if Sakura counterattacks and pulls the ladder up, what should Pain do?
Forehead?
As for the Land of Earth?
Could it be that he is really open and sincere to this distant ally?
Besides, there are 100,000 Terracotta Warriors. Whoever wants to stop them can do so. Sakura won't serve them.

In "Naruto's Death", although it was only mentioned that the five major countries joined forces to stop the Terracotta Warriors, in the end the Terracotta Warriors successfully arrived at the Land of Demons.

Obviously, even the ninja coalition of the five major countries would be useless against this thing.

These 100,000 Terracotta Warriors are more capable of fighting than 100,000 White Zet

But doing nothing is impossible.

Xiaoying's eyes turned slightly, and then she said, "Someone come."

As the words fell, Uzuki Yugao appeared beside Sakura.

"Give orders to mobilize 4,000 ninjas to guard the Terracotta Army and do not engage in active combat with them."

"If anything unusual happens, evacuate nearby residents immediately."

"Also, send another 2,000 ninjas to the border of the Rain Country to guard against the Rain Ninjas."

"In the Rain Country..."

Sakura frowned slightly at the thought.

At this moment, most of Konoha's masters went to encircle and suppress Kakuzu and Hidan, and even Jiraiya was sent by himself to clean up the underground black market.

Then there are two more...

"Let Lady Tsunade go."

These past two days, Tobirama Senju has been concentrating on staying at the research institute, tinkering with the so-called scientific ninja tools and chakra armor.

Besides, this guy was busy enough before. After he finished tinkering with the scientific ninja tools, he also had to teach Naruto.

I just can't spare the time.

On the contrary, Tsunade does nothing but drink at home.

It's time for me, the Hokage, to work.

"Yes."

Mao Yue Xi Yan took the order and left.
