I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

A guy with fire-attribute chakra was deliberately left nearby.

what,

found it.

His eyes were half-closed, making his already small pupils appear as large as grains of rice, and a dangerous yet delightful light emanated from them.

Then live forever with me.

He slowly bent down,

Blood from his palm dripped randomly onto the man's face.

'Pfft. '

Not far away,

A creepy and terrifying spirit stood firmly, seemingly from the underworld, its body covered with strange patterns, and the character '王' (king) written on its forehead.

Just looking at it from afar gives one a strange sense of dread.

At that moment, as if it had been brewing for long enough, it suddenly opened its huge mouth, which was as big as a small hill. The first thing that came into view was a long tongue that looked like a red ribbon, followed by two human-shaped figures slowly emerging from the base of the tongue.

They seemed to have been reborn within this strange, psychic object!

This is,

[Hell Realm - King Yama!]

'Clatter.'

As the fluttering white paper gathered from all directions, a woman with a cool and aloof expression appeared. The blue-purple paper flowers in her hair seemed to be a dividing line that was out of place with the bloody atmosphere around her.

"Hanzo the Salamander is still not making any moves."

"It even threatened the ninjas of Kusagakure who were close to the border, making that opportunist who was acting in concert with the five great nations dare not make any rash moves."

Xiao Nan's voice was clear and calm, just like the falling drizzle.

However, only those who are extremely close to her can perceive the subtleties in her voice.

It seems that he is confirming or affirming something in his heart.

Standing in front of him was a young man with short orange hair.

It seems he has been standing here ever since the start of this massacre, watching the entire area.

No matter how fierce the wind and rain raged around it, no matter how wild the roaring and howling of the fields were, it remained unmoved, like a king who strategized and commanded.

"So, he indirectly helped us again?"

The young man asked in a low voice, his flat tone devoid of any emotion.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan's thoughts paused slightly.

In an instant, she recalled what the boy had said to her that night.

"No,"

"Perhaps, that person simply doesn't want the flames of war to continue burning within the Land of Rain."

There was a hint of melancholy and confusion in the woman's voice.

That was a senior whom Yahiko greatly respected.

He is also the enemy that the Akatsuki organization most urgently wants to get rid of right now!

The day of revenge is not far off.

The reason for the delay in taking action is that we still need to use that person's demigod status to communicate with the outside world and to intimidate the surrounding nations.

Upon hearing this answer, Payne fell into a brief silence.

The pain and hatred of the past seemed to have become somewhat less intense in the face of this companion.

His eyelids were slightly lowered, and subtle, hard-to-read emotions flickered in his unique purple pupils.

But such emotions only lingered for a moment before being quickly dissipated.

Do not,

Will not,

How could the bond between the three of them possibly be severed?

How could the pain and hatred in their hearts be easily erased?

Suddenly, a young, indifferent face appeared before his eyes.

His name is Uchiha Ara!

A distinct sense of ferocity emanated from his eyes.

Everything, all the changes, started when that guy appeared.

【So,】

Let's just resolve this all at once.

Anyway, the Nine-Tails is also in Konoha.

"Regardless of the reason, regardless of the facts."

"Yahiko's hatred cannot be erased."

Payne's voice was much colder than the chilly rain, and it carried a sense of deadly chill.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan's body trembled slightly, and a hint of hesitation appeared in her usually calm eyes.

However, upon catching a glimpse of the undefeated woman casually standing to the side, she swallowed the words that were about to escape her lips.

Was this intentional or unintentional?

She doesn't know.

Most importantly, the evidence that the boy mentioned has not yet been presented.

"Ah."

Her gaze shifted, and all her words were reduced to a simple, soft hum.

........

The five great nations' operation to annihilate the Akatsuki organization ultimately ended in failure, and the elite ninjas who had set foot in the Land of Rain disappeared overnight.

Such swift and decisive action, and such devastating losses, sent chills down the spines of the ninja villages involved in the incident, leading them to choose temporary silence and cessation of hostilities.

Especially the Cloud Village, which had exerted the most force during this period, instantly became like a tiger with its teeth pulled after this incident, silently licking its wounds and restraining its irritable nature.

In summary, there are many reasons why this operation failed:

For example, Kirigakure and Sunagakure chose to remain neutral in order to preserve their own strength;

For example, the ninjas sent by Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Konoha fought independently, with no cooperation or coordination whatsoever;

For example, Hanzo the Salamander's assertive stance and his arrogant declaration that he would immediately wage war if anyone dared to invade the Land of Rain made the surrounding major powers hesitant to take any action.

After all, it's hard to say how those seemingly allies would react if our side were to fall into a conflict with the Land of Rain.

now,

A remote stronghold of Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village)

This gloomy area seemed even more desolate and cold than usual.

"The Akatsuki organization is much more troublesome than we imagined, and Hanzo of the Salamander also has an ambiguous relationship with them."

In the oppressive atmosphere, Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to break the silence, his expression quite grim.

The fact that all the elite ninjas dispatched overnight had vanished without a trace clearly illustrates one thing.

Total destruction.

"Heh, anyway, it's all my men who are sacrificed."

Danzo Shimura's face was unusually gloomy.

The grief and indignation expressed by the former were completely ignored.

Three months ago,

This old guy came to me demanding power to scout out Amegakure and test the Akatsuki organization.

They didn't get much important information, but they wiped out their own followers.

If he hadn't known clearly that the other party wouldn't have gone so far as to send Root ninjas to their deaths in order to divide his own power, he wouldn't have done so.

He had already picked up his cane and was ready to fight this old man to the death!

"Those are all Konoha ninjas."

"She sacrificed herself for the future of Konoha."

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not directly refute Danzo's sarcastic remarks, but responded in a deep voice.

He certainly didn't want to see such a loss.

But on our side,

Do not,

Not just our own side,

Even with the three great ninja villages falling, they still underestimated the power of the Akatsuki and Hanzo of the Salamander's unwavering stance.

As for Kusagakure, which they lured with promises of benefits, they were no fools either.

Until they saw any tangible benefits, they remained only loitering around the border, never daring to cross the line.

Such an answer clearly failed to appease Shimura Danzo's emotions.

It should be noted that his decades of savings were basically poured into the two operations of annihilating the Uchiha and hunting down the Akatsuki organization!

On the other hand, Hiruzen's direct subordinates still had a large number of ANBU members and had not suffered any losses.

How can he possibly let go of this situation?

How can we deal with potential future conflicts?
