Escape From Konoha

"That hard body, are you serious?"

Even a ninja like Tobirama, who prides himself on being well-informed, can't help but be surprised when he sees that there is not even a mark left on Ayane's neck, not to mention scars.

The Thunder Plow Hot Knife is a unique skill of the past generations of Raikage. Maybe the fourth generation of Raikage failed to practice this skill to the most advanced level like the first generation of Raikage, but it can cut iron like mud, but even so, it still failed to cut Breaking Ayane's skin, this kind of defense ability is really too abnormal.

"That doesn't look like the type of taijutsu that the Hyuga clan should have. Hey, Nidaime Hokage, don't you even know about it?"

Samana retreated to a safe area, no more than a few meters away from Tobirama, turned her head and asked him loudly.

In his impression, the ninjas of the Hyuga clan are not like this. Not to mention the soft fist, the surface of the body is polished as hard as diamond. It looks like Kumogakure's Ninja style.

"Don't ask me, I don't know if the Hyuga clan's taijutsu can be extended in this direction. However, what we know is that there is a thin and flexible chakra film on her body surface, and her defense power is still under Kumogakure's On top of the Thunder Shield Armor, this is probably a ninjutsu created using Soft Fist as a reference."

Tobirama frowned and never let go.

He knew that the ninjas of the Hyuga clan used their exquisite chakra control to use the Byakugan to perform soft fists, but most of their abilities were concentrated on the Byakugan. This was the first time he had encountered a Hyuga ninja who focused on physical development like Ayane.

Each of these three people's abilities are very abnormal. No wonder Monkey and Danzo are unable to do anything against them. Tobirama finally understood the hardships of his disciples.

If it were him, being targeted by such an enemy, he would have no choice but to consider himself unlucky.

The eternal kaleidoscope without evil power, the ninjutsu that breaks away from the traditional Hyuga Juuken, and an aura that is even weirder than their filthy reincarnated ninjas, who can launch soul attacks at will. Just one of them will give people a huge headache. These three People gathered together, even if his brother came over, he could only be suppressed by the three of them, making him invincible.

Sure enough, it was right to separate the three of them. Tobirama became more and more convinced of this tactic.

In the sand barrier, chakra was erupting wantonly, and the four first-generation Kage were fighting hard in it. However, the aura of the opponents did not show any signs of decline. It was not possible to determine the winner in a short time.

Tsunade also quickly came to the Fourth Raikage's side and used medical ninjutsu to treat his heart area.

But Ayane would not let go of such a good opportunity to continue the pursuit, so she jumped lightly and approached the two of them.

Her right hand compressed the air, condensed a thick chakra, and jerked it forward.

boom!

The roar of the explosion occurred in front of them, and the figure of Lei Guang flashed in front of the Fourth Raikage and Tsunade, taking the air cannon shot by Ayane with her soft fist on their behalf.

It was the Third Raikage.

Even the third generation of Ai, who has the reputation of being the strongest shield, at this time, the thunder shield on his body was shattered inch by inch. A shocking hole appeared on his chest, and his body was covered with cracks, like a fragile piece that was about to fall apart. porcelain.

"You can't go wrong. This kind of domineering soft fist... I remember, the person who attacked me at that time was you!"

The third generation Ai did not pay attention to his body that was on the verge of being broken, but looked at Ayane with wide eyes, feeling this domineering power that was different from the traditional Hyuga Soft Fist, and finally recalled where he had seen Ayane.

That was what happened during the last battle before his death when he was ambushed by Ohnoki.

He was fighting against thousands of Iwagakure ninjas, but in the chaos, someone used a soft fist to hurt his internal organs, causing a gap in his strongest shield. As a result, he died with hatred under the siege of thousands of Iwagakure ninjas. die.

He didn't know who had attacked him until his death. Otherwise, he might not have been able to fight his way back to the Kingdom of Thunder.

Unfortunately, as his internal organs were damaged, his body was gradually overwhelmed. It could be said that it was precisely because of that soft fist that he was unable to escape from the encirclement of Iwagakure.

Now he saw the culprit.

In response to Sandaai's question, the smile on Ayane's face seemed to grow stronger. As if she didn't bother to answer such a boring question, she rushed to Sandaai and pressed her palm on his forehead.

"God's Sky Strike!"

The storm of air that blasted out not only shattered Sandaimei's head, but also created a large crater in the ground behind him.

Fortunately, the Fourth Raikage and Tsunade retreated in time and were not affected.

But the third generation of Ai was not so lucky. His headless body flew in the air. Before he landed, a soul hand came from the air and penetrated directly into his body, suddenly pulling out a soul shadow. , retract quickly.

At this moment, a kunai with a charm on the handle flew out, and Tobirama's figure suddenly flashed into the air, and the right hand he waved out turned into a knife, with strange chakra waving on it.

Aim at Shiraishi's retracted soul hand and chop it off.

There was no obstacle, and the soul hand was broken into two pieces in the middle.

"Thus……"

Tobirama thought that he could save Sandaime's soul in this way, but unexpectedly, the severed hand that was still holding Sandaime's soul did not dissipate, but continued to hold Sandaime's soul without being damaged and flew towards Shiraishi, integrating into Shiraishi's body. Disappear in the body.

"You are indeed a problem, Nidaime Hokage."

Another soul hand extended from Shiraishi's left hand, grabbing Tobirama's body like lightning.

However, the hand of the soul that flew over only caught a ball of air. Tobirama's figure disappeared into the air one step ahead of schedule, and he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to flash back to the original place.

"It's really troublesome. I didn't expect that after blocking the soul, it could still maintain such activity. This guy has changed the spiritual technique beyond recognition."

Tobirama squinted his eyes and looked at Shiraishi, feeling that Shiraishi's ability was extremely hot.

At the same time, he also knew what Shiraishi's tactics were. One person was responsible for charging into the battle, and the other was responsible for collecting the soul. If there was no corresponding ability, such a weird method could be called a one-hit kill.

It must not be touched.

Even if he temporarily strengthened his soul with forbidden magic, Tobirama would not risk testing the power of the soul hand.

Because if he fails, his soul will also be sucked away by Shiraishi. It’s hard to say what the outcome will be, but I think the other party will not collect souls without purpose.

The souls of the dead can be used for many purposes, so many that Tobirama cannot understand them all.

Especially the souls of top ninjas are much tougher than the souls of ordinary ninjas.

"Including the one with Ako, it should be the second one. Next..."

Ayane, who cooperated with Shiraishi to eliminate the third generation of Ai, set her sights on the remaining alliance ninjas, and finally locked on Tsunade:

"...Get rid of the medical ninjas first!"

Ayane's flying figure caused her clothes and hair to fly, the burst of chakra shook the surrounding air, and her overwhelming momentum made everyone's bodies sink.

"Water Release·Water Dragon Slash!"

"Boiling Escape·Qiao Mist Technique!"

A joint attack from the Third Mizukage and Terumi Mei.

However, Ayane just stretched out her right hand and easily blocked the torrent blade, which could cut off the tailed beast, but failed to leave a mark on Ayane's palm.

Then her Ayane quickly passed through the highly corrosive acid mist, and finally rushed out of the acid mist area unscathed.

"Dust Escape·The Art of Original Realm Peeling!"

The white light beams on the left and right sides swept across.

Ayane compressed the chakra with her legs, instantly increasing her speed, leaving an afterimage on the road, allowing the cross-sweeping light beams to hit the ground.

Muyo Onoki, who was still trying to use Dust Break to disturb Ayane, immediately heard the sound of breaking through the air. He turned around and saw that the Peacekeepers launched dozens of tracking bombs and bombarded them all the way. The fire burned the sky, making the two People can only dodge and fly away.

"Magnetic Escape·Sand Iron Boundary Technique!"

The Third Kazekage, who noticed Ayane's actions, also launched a blockade attack.

Cloud-like sand and iron condensed in the sky, forming a dark barrier similar to a spider web, covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters in radius.

Only countless sand iron barbs were seen, and each long sand iron barb formed dozens or even hundreds of branch iron barbs, penetrating down towards the earth in irregular orbits.

This kind of long sand-iron thorns interspersed have no pattern at all, and they move quickly and violently. It can be said that they attack from all directions at the same time, and they can leave the earth without a foothold.

Faced with such a covering saturation blow, no matter how fast you move, you can't escape unscathed.

But Ayane didn't even look at it, and ran along a straight line, unprepared for the long sand iron thorns strangled from all directions, allowing these long sand iron thorns that surpassed the hardness of steel to touch her body.

Click! Click! Click! Click!

The sand-iron spikes that touched Ayane's body collapsed one by one. The sand-iron spikes that were densely crisscrossing in front of her and blocking the road were also directly broken by Ayane's body.

"It's such a little trick that you don't even need to hide."

Ayane's running speed increased again.

The chakra that spreads out is as sharp as a blade, stinging people's skin.

Faced with Ayane's disdain, the Third Kazekage remained calm and did not get angry. Through common sense, they had already understood that this was not a powerful enemy that could be defeated by just one Five Kages.

The Third Kazekage relied on his genius, but he also knew his own limits and would not act on impulse.

While maintaining the barrier of sand iron, the Third Kazekage created more sand iron, turning it into a huge sand iron long cone, crashing to the ground, intending to pierce Ayane's head with a stronger attack.

The piercing power of this long cone of sand and iron is far superior to that of the Kumoyin Raikage's Thunder Plow Hot Knife, and coupled with its own weight, it is enough to penetrate any hard object and string people together.

A large number of hands of sand also appeared under Ayane's feet, wrapping around her ankles. They were ninjutsu created by Samana, intending to restrain her in place and resist the attack of the Third Kazekage.

"Back to the days!"

Perhaps sensing the crisis, or perhaps not wanting to use her body to resist such risky ninjutsu, Ayane turned her body decisively, and the chakra storm driven by the body's spiral not only crushed the sand hands on her ankles and thighs, but also crushed them. The long cone of sand and iron that fell from the top of the head was caught in the storm and twisted into iron filings, defusing the enemy's offensive.

Taking this opportunity, Shamon and others quickly retreated and distanced themselves from Ayane to avoid getting into close combat.

Among them, the Raikage, who is best at close combat, cannot withstand the opponent's soft fists. Once he is pulled into close combat, the result can be imagined.

In the sky, Shiraishi and Peacemaker approached, closely following Ayane's attack.

Ako also came from one side, his skinny body wrapped with bandages, holding a blood-colored spear in his hand, scanning the alliance army with a pair of indifferent eyes, and standing at angles with Ayane.

"To be honest, with our strength, it is too difficult to deal with them. Defeat will be a matter of time."

The speaker was the second-generation Mizukage Kiden Gengetsu.

The quality of the ninjas on their side is not low, but they lack the top ninjas to compete head-on with the enemy.

Whether it's him, Tobirama, or Samana, they have tried their best to win just by interfering. With this level of firepower, they can't even break through the opponent's defense. Such a slow and suicidal battle can be called despair. .

The others had serious expressions on their faces and had no objections. Just as Ghost Lantern Huayue said, they lacked the top ninja who could make the final decision.

Unfortunately, Naruto has already gone to Nagato to cooperate with the tailed beast and Kazuki to snatch the ownership of the Rinnegan, so there is no hope.

The four First Kages also had their own opponents to fight and were unable to come to help.

The situation can be said to be very unfavorable.

At this moment of being unable to do anything, Tobirama's suppressed aura suddenly dissipated, and he took a deep breath. As if all the burdens had been lifted off him, a long-lost smile appeared on his face:

"finally come……"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, following Tobirama's gaze, and their bodies were all startled.

Shiraishi and Ayane also sensed an unusual aura and turned their gaze somewhere.

A figure appeared there at some unknown time, with long black hair flowing in the wind. He was wearing a black combat uniform underneath and a red laminated armor in the style of the Warring States Period on the outside. He just strolled in grandly.

Although there is only one person, it feels like a vast sky and earth, making it impossible to ignore his presence.

And wherever he passed, the atmosphere in the air seemed unusually quiet, extremely quiet.

The other party's face was expressionless, and his whole body was enveloped in an ominous aura like a corpse.

He stopped, slowly raised his head, and looked at Bai Shi.

Shiraishi also looked at him, and their eyes met in the air at this moment.

◎

Union Army Headquarters.

The room was so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was the ticking of the clock's second hand.

Shikaku and the others, who were tied up with special ropes, could only huddle in a corner of the room, watching the ninjas from the Kingdom of Oni and Kirigakure misbehaving here.

Not only were their movements blocked, their chakra was also suppressed, and a barrier was placed in the room to block all sounds.

Compared with the control in the corridor, it has gradually been transferred to the hands of Oni Country and Kirigakure.

This situation couldn't be worse for the Alliance Army.

Except for a few people who were relatively calm, with no emotions of tension or fear on their faces, and who just remained silent without saying a word, the rest of the people were not in the same situation. Their faces showed an extremely eager look, and they wanted to break through the blockade immediately. , revealing the truth about Kirigakure’s betrayal and the Alliance Army’s headquarters conference room being invaded by the Kingdom of Demons.

However, Shikaku didn't think such a move was meaningful, and it was impossible to succeed.

Not to mention that their movement was blocked, even if there was no blockade, looking at Kakashi, Lin, and Obito, Shikaku knew that it was simply unrealistic to resist with force.

Kakashi's ability aside, Obito's strength was evident to all when Sasuke attacked Konoha.

One person was still able to contain the Hokage and many ANBU jounin with ease, and Shikaku was sure that it was not Obito's full strength.

These three people here must be stronger than the five shadows combined.

Thinking of this, even Shikaku couldn't help but start to despair.

With these three people here, there is no chance for them to take advantage of it.

"Kakashi, I surrender, I surrender."

After a long time, Shikaku suddenly spoke, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the room and attracting most people's attention.

Except for Oni no Kuni and Kirigakure ninjas who maintained the perception barrier, everyone else was attracted by Shikaku's words.

Shikaku's expression was very sincere. Judging from his expression alone, it was convincing that he was sincerely surrendering and abandoning the Alliance Army whose headquarters was about to collapse.

Kakashi also looked at Shikaku and raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect Shikaku to say this suddenly.

"I said, I have no intention of killing you, but please do your duty before the war ends."

These people are the elites of each village and hold important positions. Controlling them is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the Alliance Army. Moreover, if the Kingdom of Ghosts is really defeated, these people can also bring the Kingdom of Ghosts back to the negotiating table. The important price tag of renegotiation cannot allow for any surprises.

"No, I am really ready to surrender. The defeat of the Alliance Army is already a matter of time. Even if there is a victory in the Land of Rain, it will be meaningless. Without the support of the middle and lower-class ninjas, the Alliance Army has ceased to exist in name only."

Shikaku smiled bitterly and told this cruel fact.

The Five Shadows are the brain, but the ninja underneath them are the torso and limbs, the heart, and the blood. Without these people, what is the point of the Five Shadows' victory?

How much strength can the Alliance army retain in the coming war?

This speculation, just imagining it, made Shikaku shudder.

Kakashi squinted his eyes and stared at Shikashi for a long time without speaking, as if he was really thinking about it.

Judging from his eyes, Shikaku was telling the truth.

But for jounin like them, telling lies with open eyes is already a basic skill, not to mention that the other party is the jounin squad leader of Konoha, lying is as easy as eating and drinking.

Seeing Kakashi's distrust, Shikaku continued to sigh: "I have been running around for the village these years, but in the end I still achieved nothing, and I failed to live up to the family's expectations... So, in the end, I want to do something practical for the family. .Kakashi, you know, with my help, you can take down the tens of thousands of ninjas from the Alliance Army headquarters at the minimum cost."

Shikaku looked at Kakashi with pleading eyes.

Oni no Kuni and Kirigakure controlled the headquarters conference room and mastered the circulation of Alliance Army information, but they did not penetrate into each unit. If the subsequent actions continue to be abnormal, then the squadron commanders of each unit, including the unit commander, will also It is not a stupid person, sooner or later he will realize the problem of the headquarters.

At that time, the Alliance forces who have reacted will launch a strong counterattack, which will put a huge burden on Oni Country and Kirigakure.

And if he, a senior member of the staff, joins, these accidents can be resolved.

The tied-up Alliance ninjas around him glared at Shikaku with complicated and annoyed eyes.

They didn't know whether Shikaku's words were true or false, but if they were true, the Alliance Army would definitely suffer a devastating blow.

Kirigakure's betrayal has already made them furious. If Shikakuya betrays him at this time, it will be even worse for the Alliance.

"Shikaku, shut up. As a Konoha ninja, you shouldn't kneel to the enemy even if you die!"

Haiyi on the side yelled loudly, showing an aura of looking forward to death.

"You are wrong, Haiyi. I am thinking about all of us. The situation is now very clear. The Alliance Army has failed. It is that simple. Not only me, you, but also Ding Zuo who is receiving treatment at the headquarters, Life and death are in the hands of others. Since you have failed, you must admit that in limited actions, fight for the last chance of life for Konoha... This is what Konoha ninjas should do. Even to this extent, betrayal is needed At the expense of Konoha."

Shikaku rejected Haiichi's extreme idea and adopted roundabout tactics to save Konoha.

Use your own betrayal in exchange for Konoha's last glimmer of hope.

At this time, Kakashi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's a very good double act, and the rhetoric is also very exciting. If you really think so, Shikaku, then don't mind letting my people take a look at your true heart. What do you think? Don’t forget, the ninjas here know the secrets of the Yamanaka clan."

As he said that, a Jonin from the Kingdom of Ghosts wearing silver-white chakra armor stood up behind him.

Shikaku's expression remained unchanged as he replied: "Now is the time to race against time. If you probe the memory, it will consume too much energy and time, and you may miss the opportunity. Besides, there is no need. If I betray you, with your strength, you can do it at any time." You can take my head off.”

"Yeah?"

Kakashi was unmoved.

"That's right. Kakashi, you know, I am a smart person, and smart people will not die on the same road. Without my help, so many Alliance ninjas, even if Kirigakure is standing by you There are as many as 70,000 to 80,000 ninjas left on that side, and it is impossible to wipe out so many people with your military strength."

Shikaku spoke profoundly, thinking from the standpoint of the Kingdom of Demons.

"As far as I know, there are many smart people who like to hang from a tree. Shikaku, I will not be fooled... and you have misjudged the Kingdom of Demons."

Kakashi's voice was calm, as if he had everything under control.

"What?"

Shikaku was stunned.

His first reaction was that it was impossible. He should have considered any additional factors before making that proposal.

"Shikaku, you know nothing about the power of the alliance between Oni Country and Kirigakure. When that man took action, we were already invincible. You who were forced to join the war, even the true meaning of this war I haven’t even figured out their nature yet. Let’s put it this way, alliance forces, ninjas…how many people are there?”

Kakashi gave Shikaku a meaningful look and sighed.

"What's the meaning?"

Feeling that there was something in Kakashi's words, Shikaku suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Kakashi did not look at him, but at the Jonin of Oni Country who controlled the perception barrier, and Ao of Kirigakure.

"Let the other side take action. The covenant has been torn. Let this era of ninjas come to an end completely."

"yes!"

The Oni no Kuni and Kirigakure ninjas, who replaced the intelligence department, sent battle orders to each alliance unit.
