Naruto

At the same time, in the Kyoto Prefectural Government Hall a hundred miles away, the parliamentarians representing the people of Izumo Country who were discussing state affairs finally learned from Shikamaru and Sasuke the news about the destruction of Konoha and the impending war in the Pure Land.

The hall instantly fell into chaos and panic.

"More than a million living human lives will be lost just like this..."

"The world has only been peaceful for less than three months, is war going to start again? How should we explain to the people in the constituency..."

Of course, this news shocked Gaara, the ancestral Kazekage, the special representative of the Ninja Alliance to the National Assembly, more than those who heard it from hearsay. Since Konoha officially became the permanent headquarters of the Ninja Alliance,

The assignment of tasks and payment of rewards for all ninjas are handled uniformly by Konoha's data center, and all sensitive information is compiled here. Therefore, the security of the entire city follows the principle of "loose on the outside and tight on the inside", which can be said to be the whole continent.

The most heavily guarded place.

But even these protective measures carefully put in place by the village elders and elites were no different than paper in the face of the will of young Naruto and the "Pioneer". Not only did the entire village die in one fell swoop, but also Gaara himself

Temari, Shikamaru's eldest sister and first wife, also died in this conflict, passing away early before the age of forty.

And listening to Shikamaru's explanation, all these tragedies seemed to have been committed by his best friend Uzumaki Naruto.

The Kazekage, who had long been accustomed to seeing separation and death, rubbed his swollen temples and turned his gaze to the black-haired boy beside Shikamaru who had not spoken yet and was carefully flipping through the meeting schedule in his hand.

"What exactly are you and Naruto going to do?"

At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared behind the boy's chair, one was a white-haired uncle wearing wooden clogs, and the other was a ninja girl with a calm face.

Naturally, they were Jiraiya and Sakura who had just left the Leaf Village and rushed to Kyoto with the help of the Flying Thunder God accessory Sasuke carried. The chakra fluctuations caused by the Flying Thunder God technique spread like ripples to the surrounding space, but

Shikamaru and Sasuke were not moved at all, as if they had anticipated their arrival.

"Has everything over there been settled?"

"Just after we left, Kurenai's daughter returned to Konoha with the new generation of Ino Shikacho." Jiraiya sighed softly, looked at Shikamaru whose face suddenly became a little stiff and said, "Those four children

The knot in my heart is still open, so if I want them to cooperate, I’m afraid I’ll have to ask Kakashi to talk a lot.”

"After all, they have been ninjas for so many years. They can't even understand the most basic priorities." Sasuke threw the meeting schedule on the table and asked calmly, "Besides, Naruto was already half a year old."

He died in the line of duty before,

Since then, they have been wandering around the world in the form of dead souls. Even if those children want revenge, who can they go to?"

A wordless silence fell in the Kyoto Council Hall. Even the quarreling members stopped talking and looked at that handsome face unique to the Uchiha ethnic group in shock or surprise.

"Hate can never solve any problem, it can only create more tragedies." Sakura agreed in a low voice.

Sasuke nodded silently, and his eyes transformed into six pairs of black magatama that slowly rotated around the pupils. A blur of mist instantly enveloped the entire venue. The sudden change made the already uneasy council members panic and panic.

The sounds of tables and chairs overturning and the screams of men and women were heard in the fog.

Just when the newly-appointed Prime Minister mustered up the courage to ask Sasuke about the reason for his actions, a deafening bell suddenly rang in everyone's ears:

"when--!"

Along with a long clear echo, the fog around everyone gradually dissipated, revealing a scene that was completely different from the Kyoto political hall. In the lush courtyard, a young man with blond hair, blue eyes and a whiskered face appeared.

He was holding an unknown grass stalk in his mouth, holding his hands behind his head, and looking at the fat-headed and big-eared Maitreya Buddha statue in the courtyard calmly. Standing next to the young man were more than a dozen people with different clothes and temperaments.

.They were not surprised by the sudden appearance of everyone, they just glanced in the direction of Sasuke doubtfully, and then turned their attention to the young man in the center of the courtyard, seeming to be waiting for his instructions.

[Your Excellency Speaker, Mr. Prime Minister, this is the pure land where the dead live, a dreamland that forms one and the same with the material world. A war concerning the fate of the universe is about to begin here; as the highest authority in human society, the National Assembly has

Quan understands the inside story. Therefore, before the meeting, I asked Sasuke-kun to use genjutsu to connect your consciousness to this realm.】

Shikamaru's voice seemed to have a calming effect, and the panicked council members soon calmed down and continued to listen to the speech of the leader of the ninja world.

[But the spell itself is just an illusion and cannot allow the dead souls to interact directly with living people, so...]

Before Shikamaru finished speaking, the congressmen suddenly felt that the environment around them suddenly became much darker. An unspeakable fear firmly occupied everyone's souls. A few bold congressmen looked up tremblingly.

, I saw a dark crack appearing in the originally cloudless sky; dark red tentacles stretched out from the crack, and several groups of invisible black light condensed and emitted on the tips of the tentacles.

With a breath of destruction.

"'Pioneer' and Jiuyou's

The power is entangled together, and the fear and despair of the souls will become his excellent nourishment: the longer this war drags on, the worse it will be for us."

The young man raised his left hand and shook it hard in the direction of the crack in the air; he saw that the crack that was thousands of kilometers long closed instantly as if someone had used a zipper to forcibly pull it shut, and some of the tentacles that poked out were also closed.

He cut it off at the waist and accelerated his fall, but was crushed into lumps of quicksand by an invisible force in mid-air and scattered in the wind.

The council members were frightened to death by the boy's miraculous "performance", but everyone else, including Shikamaru, Sasuke and Gaara, didn't even blink, as if this was the worst thing in the world.

The most common natural phenomenon.

"Asura, Indra, Hashirama, and Madara, I asked you to finalize the candidates for the coach and vanguard before. Is there any result now?"

The four middle-aged uncles whose names were called by the boy looked at me, and I looked at you, with a hint of embarrassment on their faces. Finally, the First Hokage took a step forward, and said to the boy bravely: "Tolerance.

The sect was not founded for fighting. Whether it is a sudden attack or a command, as future ninjas, Madara and I have more practical combat experience than our two seniors. But..."

"but?"

"...Except for you and the Sage of Six Paths, no one can compete head-on with the mastermind of the Pioneer." Wearing a red armor, the Uchiha clan leader crossed his arms and calmly said something that the other three would find difficult to say.

Then, "So our next tactical arrangements completely depend on the plans of the two of you."

For ninjas, timidity before fighting is the most shameful stain. What's more, these are all extremely powerful men who are respected by the world in front of and behind them. They have extremely high spirits. No one is willing to admit that they are not on the same level as the enemy.

The power of war.

"Most of the Six Paths Sage's energy will be invested in protecting ordinary people who have no combat experience, and they have no time to care about the war on the front line." The young man clasped his hands and looked at the faces of more than a dozen ninjas and samurai who were the most powerful in the world.

However, he said with a faint smile, "As for me... I used to fight alone, but let others passively avoid the battle. It was not only inefficient, but also easily damaged everyone's morale; so this time I plan to change it."

This way, all warriors who dare to face their fears can contribute their part."

Golden light radiated from the young man's palms, instantly submerging everyone in the vast sea of ​​light. Even Sasuke and others who used illusions to spy on the Pure Land were not "escaped". All the people's consciousness

They were all suppressed by this transcendent spiritual power, leaving only a whisper from the beginning of eternity still lingering in everyone's hearts, gently singing an ancient spiritual song with no words and no sound.
