He gritted his teeth, his gaze was cold, his fists were clenched, yet he was helpless.
The Hokage's order was to retreat and vacate the main battlefield.
"The Three-Tails never belonged to Konoha; don't covet it too much."
"Watching the snipe and the clam fight is undoubtedly the best choice for us right now. Don't question the Hokage's judgment."
Silently, one can clearly sense the resentment in one's companion's heart.
But at this moment, she could only suppress her resentment and convince herself that there was no need to fight for the greater good.
"Moreover, the Hokage also ordered Kakashi Hatake to come immediately, so he may bring different news later."
He then added further.
This was to stabilize the morale of their comrades and prevent them from developing feelings of inferiority, such as the decline of Konoha and the only option they could choose to endure.
After receiving this news, the secret service team that had been wanting to do something gradually calmed down and stopped talking. At this moment, a crisp exclamation broke the oppressive atmosphere.
"Kakashi-sensei?"
Will Kakashi-sensei come too?
Following the sound, one could see a girl with shoulder-length short hair exclaiming in surprise, her beautiful face beaming with joy.
The joy of a long-awaited reunion.
"Hmm, Sakura hasn't seen Kakashi in a long time either, has she? Although they're still in the village, he's been on missions every day without interruption."
Silent eyes revealed care, as well as a complex mix of reminiscence and melancholy.
Six months ago, she and Lady Tsunade met that boy in the Land of Hot Water. He was powerful and compassionate, which was her highest assessment of him.
But unexpectedly, in just six months, that person caused a dramatic change in the once prosperous Konoha!
The Third Hokage passed away, the Hyuga clan head lost one of his eyes, the Akimichi clan head lost an arm, the Aburame clan fell into decline, the Anbu were almost completely wiped out, and countless ordinary ninjas died...
Even though she wasn't a participant in that horrific battle, the outcome alone is enough to illustrate the brutality of the war.
"If even Kakashi Hatake is coming in person, does that mean that person might also be here?"
The sudden news broke the brief silence of reminiscence.
She looked in the direction of the voice at the blonde girl who had spoken, her expression becoming somewhat complicated.
[It's said that Uchiha Ara had contact with the head of the Yamanaka clan when he left, and since then, the head of the Yamanaka clan seems to have started acting somewhat strangely.]
Most importantly, and most suspiciously, the mountain tribe members seem to have escaped unscathed in this battle.
[That was an indiscriminate battle, how could you achieve such precise, unscathed attacks?]
"It's possible,"
"However, a faction's 'shadow' will not easily leave the village unless there is something particularly urgent to do."
After shaking off the speculations and rumors in her mind, she answered in silence.
Meanwhile, upon hearing news about that person, another girl in Yu Zhi's team was also deeply moved, because her father had been cruelly deprived of one of his eyes!
However, before she could vent her emotions, another ninja force suddenly entered her field of vision, abruptly pulling her back to reality.
“A second force has emerged,”
"Confirmed to be a ninja from the Hidden Demon Village!"
Hyuga Byakugan
One of the strongest sensory-type eye techniques in the ninja world, even if they are hundreds or thousands of meters apart, even if they are separated by giant trees or mountains, things in the distance cannot escape the perception of this special eye technique!
Who is in charge?
Upon hearing that it was a ninja from the Hidden Demon Village, the previously restless elite members of the Anbu immediately began to ask questions.
And you can hear a fairly clear and tangible vibrato in his voice!
Even the fighting spirit it had previously displayed underwent a complete transformation at this moment!
It's a sign of tension, even fear!
after all,
The entire Konoha Anbu was under the enemy's control, and less than one-tenth survived!
"She is a woman."
"Suspected Crystal Release Ninja - Crimson Lotus".
Hinata Hyuga shared what she had seen, and this answer eased the tense atmosphere considerably. However, Shizune, as the supreme commander in the current situation, showed no sign of relaxation.
Because that ninja with the Crystal Release bloodline limit was the one who completely shattered the Aburame clan's confidence.
She had seen a brief description of this in the post-war report submitted to Lady Tsunade:
Millions of Gu worms turned into ice crystal dust, their sharp edges cruelly piercing the bodies and pride of the Aburame clan ninjas.
With just one person, he directly suppressed the most low-profile and mysterious clan in Konoha.
Although the fact that the enemy's abilities were unknown and that there was a certain degree of ninjutsu counterplay involved, it was enough to prove the opponent's strength!
at the same time,
The man standing on the lake also noticed a group of competitors rapidly approaching.
"It's been a long time, Guren."
"What's the rush to appear here? Is it because you want to return to Lord Orochimaru's embrace?"
Seeing the beautiful figure suddenly appear in his field of vision, the man hidden in his pocket did not show any particular panic.
Instead, he casually raised his hand and pulled down the hood that was covering his face, and spoke to her as if they were old friends having a casual chat.
His identity was immediately revealed by his round-framed glasses and white braid.
He was none other than Kabuto Yakushi, one of the Legendary Sannin and Orochimaru's right-hand man.
However, the woman who had abruptly stopped in her tracks did not seem to want to answer the question. Instead, she stared blankly at the boy who was wearing a special brainwave device and releasing his chakra with his eyes closed.
Same hair color,
Similar faces
Similar scents
Without a doubt, he was the offspring of his benefactor.
He's the boy named Yukimaru that Lord Ara mentioned!
"Oh, it seems your purpose is a bit off. Isn't it to return to Orochimaru's embrace?"
Kabuto quickly noticed the direction of Guren's gaze, and after adjusting his glasses on his nose, he asked a meaningful question.
At the same time, his gaze swept over the woman's shoulder and landed on the nine ninjas following behind her.
"Of course, you are the same."
"If you still knowingly want to return, then I apologize to Lord Orochimaru on your behalf and ask for your support."
"Especially you, Lin'er."
"Back then, I really valued you."
The rising tone of his voice, like the smile at the corner of his mouth, was chilling and gave off a sense of ill intent.
"Lady Crimson Lotus, Lord Ara's order is..."
But Lin'er, who rushed over at top speed, paid no attention to his former master. Instead, he spoke in a deep voice to his direct superior in front of him, as if he wanted to say something.
Before he could finish speaking, Yukimaru, in his special state, seemed to have triggered something and involuntarily let out an extremely painful growl. At this moment, the lake seemed to come alive, becoming restless and uneasy, with large bubbles bubbling up from beneath the water.
"It's really here!"
Seeing this, Kabuto Yakushi instantly lost all interest in continuing their 'reminiscing' and looked at the lake below the boat with delight.
In stark contrast to her excitement, Honglian's expression suddenly turned tense and angry.
"What do you want Yukimaru to do?"
"No, whatever you made him do, make him stop right now, or I'll make you regret ever being born!!"
She roared angrily.
Countless sharp ice crystal shurikens gradually condensed in the air.
Furthermore, these shuriken became increasingly agitated with the boy's increasingly shrill and painful cries!
The reason they didn't attack immediately was because they were worried about harming the offspring of their benefactor, who was very close to Yakushi Kabuto!
"Yukimaru,"
"Hey, you actually know his name. So you came here for him after all."
"but,"
"So what if you and a bunch of cripples can do anything about it?"
As soon as the words were spoken, four figures suddenly appeared at the four corners of this sea area.
They have strange appearances, a similar bloodthirsty aura, and identical Sound Ninja headbands.
Indeed, the Sound Four!
Chapter 649 You really have a lot of nerve, ordering my men around.
"whispering sound."
"I said I could smell a nauseating, gloomy odor from afar, so it's you bunch of good-for-nothings!"
"After betraying Lord Orochimaru, he chose to follow this old woman?"
"That really fits the behavior of a good-for-nothing."
"Trash people should huddle together for warmth!"
Tayuya looked at the nearly ten test subjects in her field of vision with a face full of disgust, her sharp tongue still intact.
The other three Sound Ninja present did not speak directly, but their faces also showed similar disdain to varying degrees.
