It's normal to get a kaleidoscope as a first deposit of six yuan, right?

That made such a good point that she couldn't refute it.

Seeing Shiki still seeing Sasori and Juzo off, Konan, who came from behind, also hugged her in front of her.

"War, huh? I never imagined that more than a decade later, we would become the instigators of war ourselves?" Konan said with some emotion as she watched the departing White Zetsu troops.

"But after this war, there will be peace forever, right?" Feeling the two soft things behind her through her coat, Zhixue asked with a slightly flushed face.

"Yes, that's right. This world has already suffered too much. If there isn't a point that ends this twisted vicious cycle, countless wars will continue to rage in future generations," Xiao Nan said, gently stroking Zhi Xue's hair.

"But this has a time limit, doesn't it? After all, human lifespan is not eternal, just like the First Hokage back then."

Xiao Nan was somewhat surprised to hear Zhi Xue's answer.

"It seems that Xiaoxue knows quite a lot. However... Nagato's power is different from that of the First Hokage. The Ten-Tails and the Rinnegan, which can intimidate the entire world, are transmissible. Nagato believed that even after his death, there would still be successors who would inherit this painful power and strive for peace in the ninja world."

"Descendants?" Upon hearing the word "descendants," Zhi Xue's slightly flushed face was now filled with three question marks.

“Yes, only those descendants deemed by Nagato to possess the will to protect the peace of the ninja world are granted the power of the Ten-Tails and the Rinnegan,” Konan said meaningfully, looking at Shiseido in her arms.

"So that's what the later generations meant?" Zhi Xue breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xiao Nan's explanation.

So she misunderstood. But she's right, Nagato is so weak, how could he possibly be capable of doing adult things?

Seeing Zhixue's expression, Xiaonan seemed to understand what it meant. She gently rubbed Zhixue's moist face with her slender fingers and said with some emotion.

"It seems Xiao Zhixue has grown up quite a bit; after all, she's already 23 years old..."

Stop Snow: ...

Actually, she's not even an adult yet, really...

Chapter 283, Heated Clash

"Charge!"

Hidan and Kakuzu's first vanguard team clashed with Konoha's vanguard forces a day later.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

Fugaku's Fire Release technique clashed with Kakuzu's Water Wave. As the situation gradually stabilized, Kakuzu sent out a Gargoyle from behind him, which burrowed underground and secretly ran towards Fugaku.

Snapped!

The Earth Grudge Fly that had just emerged from behind Fugaku was impaled on the ground by a kunai, while a sharp cry also rang out from behind Kakuzu.

"Chidori!"

Looking back at the approaching Sasuke, Kakuzu used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge.

"Didn't I tell you to go to the rear to protect the logistics department?" Seeing Sasuke running over, Fugaku angrily ran up and slapped him on the head.

"Father, my eyes can see everything! I'm not a child anymore! As long as Nii-san is there at the logistics line, just watch how I eliminate the enemy!" Sasuke stubbornly pushed away Fugaku's large hand and then focused his Sharingan's crimson gaze on Kakuzu, who was still engulfed in flames in the distance.

He's a genius who's unlocked the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, and today he's determined to kill an Akatsuki member to show his father that he's no less capable than his brother!

Looking at the seemingly confident Erzhuzi, Fugaku couldn't help but facepalm. His eldest son was so sensible, so why was his youngest son so arrogant?

He extinguished the flames on his robe with his hand, and looking at the six-pointed star pattern in Sasuke's eyes, Kakuzu recalled some unpleasant memories from the past.

First, there was that Uchiha brat Zhixue who could easily humiliate him with Susanoo, and now another Uchiha brat has appeared? When did the Mangekyou Sharingan become so common…?

While Kakuzu was still pondering how to deal with Fugaku clan chief, Hidan seemed to be having a great time fighting.

"Hahaha! I'll sacrifice you all to the evil god!" Gripping the chains in his hand, the three-star scythe was like a giant wind demon shuriken, forcing people back into the distance.

There are so many people on the battlefield, so as a follower of the evil god, he should enjoy the killing and suffering!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Hidan was struck head-on by two fireballs, but the Allied Shinobi were shocked to see him emerge from the smoke and dust as if nothing had happened.

"It really burns, but the pain you've inflicted on me will be deeply etched into my body, you sandwich! Oh ha ha!"

"Earth Release - Lime Condensation Technique!" Just as Hidan had sent a few ninjas with unknown information to see Lord Jashin, a pool of grayish-white liquid suddenly splattered on the ground. The sticky lime powder, after a short period of settling, instantly immobilized Hidan in place.

"Damn it, your end is nigh!" With rocks attached to his legs, Kurotsuchi kicked Hidan in the head from mid-air, sending him tumbling dozens of meters across the ground.

boom!

After crashing into the rock wall, Heitu clapped his hands, looking at the dust that had stopped moving, and prepared to leave.

Her kick was so powerful that even five lives wouldn't be enough to kill someone who hit the back of the head.

Swish!

A layer of rock suddenly appeared behind the black soil, blocking the sickle flying from the smoke and dust.

"dad?"

Black Earth looked at Yellow Earth in the distance, who was looking at him with a serious expression, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Kuroto, underestimating your opponent is not a good habit."

"But I've already defeated the enemy..."

"Hey! Doesn't that hurt? What an impolite guy..." Hidan emerged from the dust, twisting his neck and rubbing the blood oozing from the back of his head, shouting somewhat unhappily.

"He... he's not dead? Is his brain inside his stomach?" Kurotsuchi was also shocked to see Hidan still alive and kicking.

It's incredible that a normal ninja can still fight after being attacked in a vital spot. No wonder people wearing this coat are not simple.

While the Akatsuki's White Zetsu vanguard and the Allied Shinobi Forces' vanguard were still locked in fierce combat, the logistics units in the rear were also attacked by the Akatsuki.

As the fog on the road thickened, Itachi's brows furrowed.

The fog seemed to be getting thicker, and the crows placed around the area seemed to be unable to detect anything useful anymore. Although this was near the coast, it was all too strange.

"Stop for a moment." Itachi ordered the formation behind to halt, and then created several shadow clones to explore the area ahead.

puff~

After realizing that his clones were scattered by the senbon swords shortly after they advanced, Itachi Uchiha drew his ninja sword and alerted his troops.

Pong!

Itachi deflected the senbon flying from afar with his ninja sword, and frowned as he looked at Sasori blocking his way with his three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Uchiha taking on seven opponents at once, huh? I've long admired your name. I wonder if your corpse, once turned into a puppet, will still be able to use Sharingan techniques as usual?" Controlling Hiruko, Sasori snapped his fingers and taunted Uchiha Itachi.

Swish!

The Executioner's Blade flew out from the mist, but Itachi forced the two ninjas beside him to duck and dodge it.

"Is he a genius of the Uchiha clan? It just so happens that my greatsword has a chip in it, so I'll use your blood to fill it!" The voice of Juzo Biwa came from the thick fog, and everyone present tensed up instantly.

"It's the Hidden Mist Village's silent killing technique! Be careful!" A Hidden Mist Village ninja recognized the technique and quickly warned the surrounding ninjas.

"Are they rogue ninjas from Kirigakure? Hmph, just weaklings who couldn't survive the Blood Mist Village!" A bandaged man emerged from the back of the unit and shouted disdainfully at the voice in the mist. (Shiyuki's actions led to Yagura's early resignation, so Zabuza did not become a rogue ninja.)

Sensing the White Zetsu continuously emerging from the ground in the distance, a handsome ninja wearing a blue vest next to Zabuza asked him, "Lord Zabuza, it seems there are quite a few enemies."

"They're just a rabble. You'll take care of those small fry, Bai."

Haku smiled and nodded at Zabuza, who trusted him completely. Then, dozens of senbon needles appeared between his hands and he threw them into the mist.

It seemed that Haku's action instantly changed the situation on the scene. Haku led the Allied Shinobi Forces into battle against Haku Zetsu, while Uchiha Itachi rushed forward to engage Sasori in a contest of ninjutsu and puppet techniques.

Zabuza leaped into the mist of Kirigakure, using the Hidden Mist Technique, and drew his ninja sword, charging in. The clash of swords echoed through the white, misty forest...

Chapter 284, Intelligence Sharing

While the Allied Shinobi Forces were still locked in a fierce battle with the White Zetsu army, Zhi Xue sat down in a chair in her residence, placing her short, flawless white legs, hidden beneath her coat, on the table.

She carefully placed the hexagonal crystal in a plastic box, and strung it together with a thin string to hang around her neck.

Feeling the cool touch of the crystal against her heart, Zhixue jumped off the chair.

I haven't received any missions yet, so let's test out the second level of ability.

Zhi Xue slowly walked to the mirror, looked at the petite and delicate-looking loli in it, and breathed a sigh of relief, activating the Rinnegan's eye technique.

"open!"

The moment Zhixue activated the second level, a blue halo seemed to emanate from her body in the mirror before she gradually disappeared from this world.

Zhi Xue raised her hand to look at her current appearance and made a face at herself in the mirror, but unfortunately there was nothing there.

Although there was ground beneath her feet, Zhixue felt that gravity was several times weaker, and she could jump more than ten meters high even without using chakra.

"Is this the pull of the world?" Zhi Xue scratched her head, feeling her chakra being rapidly depleted, before walking out into the world.

After easily passing through the wall, Zhixue walked towards the Akatsuki organization's location as if she were an unseen ghost.

Seeing Xiao Nan passing by, Zhi Xue reached for her clothes, but it was as if her hand passed right through the fabric.

"It's a strange feeling." Zhi Xue watched as Xiao Nan, who was completely unaware of her presence, continued running down into the underground space.

The tomoe in Zhixue's Samsara Eye emitted a deep red light, like a shadow plunging underground and flying rapidly downwards.

Looking at the dark layer of soil in front of her, Zhixue suddenly felt a sense of curiosity. If she were to undo her pupil technique at this moment, would she be buried in it? However, this was just a thought. She decided against actually doing it, as she didn't want to get her clothes covered in mud.

In just a few seconds, Zhixue landed lightly on the flat ground of the underground space.

Seeing Payne still studying tactics inside the small house, Zhixue waved in front of him.

"Huh? Even the Rinnegan couldn't detect it? That's really amazing..." Zhi Xue put her hands behind her back to hide her chakra, then briefly deactivated her eye technique behind Pain and took a chess piece in her hand.

"If we want to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's rear... I guess we'll have to have Xiaoxue personally... Hmm? Where's the chess piece?" Payne turned around and frowned in confusion as he looked at the empty space.

Did I remember it wrong?

……

While Zhixue was still experimenting with her new eye technique, a continuous stream of battle reports were being transmitted from the Allied Shinobi Forces' intelligence department.

"Your Yamanaka clan from Konoha is really useful," Onoki said with a sigh after glancing at Shisui and opening the file in his hand.

The mountain clan can actually connect to the battlefield a hundred miles away through secret techniques and machinery. If only such a method could be found in Iwagakure.

"Tsuchikage, you flatter me. Konoha has always been very strict in its management of intelligence. It is only right that we can shine on the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War."

Seeing Shisui's gentle smile, the Raikage asked Onoki, "How is it? What's the situation at the front?"

"Well, it seems we have the advantage right now. Our vanguard on the main battlefield is gradually pushing the enemy back bit by bit. However, our logistics department seems to have been ambushed. Currently, a second unit is on its way to reinforce them."

Upon hearing that the logistics department had been attacked, Shisui showed no sign of worry.
