Although Akira Hatake admired the Cloud Ninja's actions, he still showed no mercy when he attacked them.
When the smoke cleared, there were no survivors except for Akira Hatake and Kakashi.
He waved his hand, refusing Kakashi's help, and Akira Hatake's injuries were healing at a visible speed.
This is because the passive effect of the Eternal Night Guardian item has come into play.
[Passive - Guardian: When the user takes damage exceeding 30% of their own health energy within 3 seconds, they will recover health energy equal to 8% of their maximum health energy over the next 3 seconds (7-second cooldown).]
As for the Eternal Night Guardian equipment, Akira Hatake bought four of them!
In other words, when Akira Hatake triggers the passive effect of the Eternal Night Guardian item, his health energy recovery will reach 32% within three seconds.
The restored life energy could not only completely heal Akira Hatake's injuries within three seconds, but there would also be some left over.
Do you even understand the value of having a lot of equipment?
It's infuriating, but that's just how Akira Hatake is right now.
If you can't kill Hatake Akira within seven seconds, then he's an unstoppable force, even more monstrous than a cockroach.
Don't forget, Akira Hatake also possesses the passive effect of the Holy Grail; the longer the battle lasts, the more abnormally fast Akira Hatake's chakra and life energy recovery will become.
Furthermore, the multiple witch cloaks and other defensive equipment he had previously purchased made Akira Hatake's defense against ninjutsu reach an abnormal level.
Explosive tags are essentially a type of ninjutsu, except that they use sealing techniques to seal the explosive ninjutsu chakra into paper.
The fact that a series of explosive tags only caused minor injuries to Akira Hatake speaks volumes.
"This... the recovery is way too fast!"
Kakashi's eyes widened as he pointed at Akira Hatake's wounds, which had completely healed. "Brother, can you tell me why this happened?"
"Once the war is over, you can be like me."
Akira Hatake hadn't figured out how to be honest with Kakashi yet, so he could only make up an excuse for it.
"Oh."
Kakashi nodded, neither unhappy nor pressing for more information, but instead pointed to the battlefield ahead, still filled with the smoke of gunpowder.
"Brother, this should be the Cloud Ninja's last desperate counterattack."
In fact, Akira Hatake already understood everything without Kakashi saying anything.
Because a large number of villagers from Kumogakure were rapidly evacuating the village under the cover of the remaining Kumogakure ninja.
"Brother, should we chase after them?"
"no need."
Akira Hatake shook his head and stood still.
War is never a just act. No matter how it is whitewashed, war is always a violent means and a feast of self-destruction.
However, due to their different allegiances, the positions of the two sides in the war naturally differ as well.
Their enemy is my hero – this is the best interpretation of war.
Without a doubt, Akira Hatake and Kakashi are now enemies of Kumogakure, but people should still have some bottom lines.
When dealing with ordinary people, Akira Hatake has always maintained an attitude of not provoking them.
Unless absolutely necessary, Akira Hatake would not easily involve civilians in the war.
However, if someone foolishly provokes him, the purple lightning in Hatake Akira's hand will still pierce through his chest!
"Then... what about the Book of Seals of Kumogakure and that large-scale sealing technique?"
Kakashi was somewhat unwilling. He had no interest in the Time-Sealing Seal Formation of Kumogakure, but he was extremely eager for the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
As if sensing Kakashi's resentment, Akira Hatake reached out and touched his silver hair.
"There will be opportunities, after all, the war against Kumogakure is over."
Akira Hatake's idea was very simple.
Since the Hidden Cloud Village had already moved the Book of Seals from their village, finding it now would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, there is another feasible way to obtain what you want.
negotiation!
With the high-ranking officers of Kumogakure almost entirely killed or wounded, and only 8000 frontline troops returning safely, it's easy to see that Kumogakure has become the first to be eliminated in this war.
As the victor, Konoha naturally holds an absolute dominant position in the subsequent ceasefire negotiations.
Let alone the Book of Seals and the Time-Sealing Formation of the Hidden Cloud Village, even if the Land of Lightning were to cede territory, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning or the future Fourth Raikage would have to accept it with a heavy heart!
If they don't acknowledge it...
Then let's ask whether the Flying Thunder God Kunai in Hatake Akira's hand agrees, whether the Flying Thunder God Kunai in Namikaze Minato's hand agrees, and whether the Snowless Kunai in Kakashi's hand agrees!
Between taking it yourself and having it handed over to someone else, the latter is undoubtedly more comforting.
"Let's go, Kakashi, there's nothing more for us to do here."
Hearing what Akira Hatake said, Kakashi naturally had no objections. He let Akira Hatake grab his shoulder with one hand, and the two of them disappeared from the spot in an instant.
……
The Country of Fire, Hidden Leaf Village.
Hiruzen Sarutobi held two intelligence reports in his hands.
One report was from Minato Namikaze, who had just delivered news of a great victory; the other was information about the ongoing war in the Land of Rain.
One piece of good news, one piece of bad news.
With Hiruzen Sarutobi's knowledge, he had already sensed the enormous crisis hidden behind the war taking place in the Land of Rain.
The Land of Wind and the Land of Earth have united!
The Land of Rain is in a very awkward geographical position, as it is located at the intersection of three major powers: the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Fire.
This strategically important location would give either side an advantage in offense or defense, regardless of which side occupies it.
If the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth were to occupy the Land of Rain, then the Land of Fire would face the combined might of the two nations!
He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache coming on, and for a moment he couldn't make up his mind.
The war with the Land of Lightning had just ended, and Minato Namikaze's troops had suffered heavy casualties. It was only right and proper for them to return to the village to rest before being sent back to the battlefield.
However, this would put immense pressure on Danzo Shimura's forces, which were located near the Land of Rain, and they might even be able to breach the defenses of the combined forces of the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth within a single day.
Don't forget, Danzo Shimura's forces didn't have any top-tier ninjas in command, so their defenses were bound to be breached sooner or later...
"Sigh... Minato and the others will have to work hard again."
After weighing the pros and cons, Hiruzen Sarutobi made his choice.
Soon, a letter was written, and Hiruzen Sarutobi handed it to Konoha's communications ninja.
The letter contained a simple message: that Minato Namikaze's forces should return to Konoha to rest, while Minato, Akira Hatake, Kakashi, and Jiraiya should rush to aid Danzo Shimura's forces.
As for Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi chose to remain inactive, since the idea of the armies of the Wind and Earth Kingdoms joining forces was just speculation.
Before the fact is confirmed, it's possible that this is just a feint by the Land of Wind. Therefore, Orochimaru's forces need to remain stationed at the border for a while to prevent being caught off guard by a diversionary tactic.
As for Tsunade's troops, the Land of Water is currently quite peaceful, so Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't need to worry about them too much.
However, what Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know was that the Land of Water had already begun to take action!
……
Why would ninjas from Kirigakure attack this place?
At this moment, Tsunade stood beside the ruins of a small field hospital, resting her chin on her hand, pondering the reasons why Kirigakure had done this.
In fact, this small field hospital was already slated for demolition.
Since the conflict on this battlefield has been initially quelled, there is naturally no need for the field hospital to continue operating after the loss of Konoha wounded.
Yet, in such an insignificant place, the Hidden Mist Village ninja launched an attack, killing and injuring many Konoha medical ninjas.
Moreover, for this attack, Kirigakure actually dispatched three of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to protect and assist them.
"What exactly did I overlook?"
After thinking for a long time, Tsunade still couldn't come up with a solution, so she had to summon a Konoha ninja to ask him.
"Have all the casualties been tallied?"
"Lady Tsunade, the count is complete." The Konoha ninja glanced at the folder in his hand. "This attack on Kirigakure resulted in the deaths of 3 medical chunin and 9 medical genin, and 1 medical genin is still missing."
"One person is missing?"
Tsunade seemed to have thought of something, "What was the name of the missing medical ninja?"
"Nohara Rin."
“Nohara Rin… I don’t remember her…” Tsunade’s newly formed inspiration was instantly extinguished. “Was Kirigakure’s elaborate attack on this place just for Nohara Rin?”
I can’t figure it out, I really can’t figure it out!
"Silence, have a scout ninja squad thoroughly investigate the surrounding area. Report to me immediately if they find anything suspicious!"
"Yes, Tsunade-sama."
Shizune nodded, about to speak to Tsunade, but Tsunade had already turned and walked away...
The worry on her face vanished in an instant. Shizune, clutching the folder in her hands, ran after Tsunade's retreating figure.
Chapter 190 The Vanished Raikage Building.
Nohara Rin and Shizune were classmates, and were considered to be students from the same batch of ninja academy.
She naturally knew who Nohara Rin was, but Tsunade didn't give Shizune a chance to speak.
"Oh? Nohara Rin is your classmate?"
Tsunade raised an eyebrow. "And you have a good relationship with Akira and Kakashi?"
"Yes, Lady Tsunade, Nohara Rin has a good team. This surprise attack... I don't think it's that simple."
Shizune had caught up with Tsunade and briefly explained her situation, still a little out of breath. "Lady Tsunade, you must take this seriously. It would be best to send someone to rescue us!"
"Little Silent One, do you think you're the one ordering me around?"
