Starting with Wood Release, he survives in Konoha Hospital and becomes a big shot.

Yao Xingji glanced back at the direction of the Konoha group and spotted many familiar figures.

"I didn't expect them all to come."

Uchiha Shisui, Yamato, Obito, Nohara Rin, and others were all inside.

mountain top.

Sakumo Hatake's gaze first swept over Yagura Karatachi, then over the two ninjas, Hoshino and Orochimaru, who were dressed in strange black star robes and wore masks.

"It seems that Yagura Karatachi has suffered a loss; he's injured," Hatake Sakumo thought to himself.

This discovery surprised Sakumo Hatake.

The Hidden Mist Village not only has the powerful Kage-level ninja Yagura, but also over a hundred other ninjas. Although they aren't particularly strong, their opponents only have two people.

How did two people manage to make Yagura Karatachi and the Hundred Members of Kirigakure suffer losses?

Just as Hatake Sakumo was in shock, a figure slowly crawled out of a deep pit.

"That's... Pipa Juzo!!! Even he's here, and he seems to be seriously injured. Who are these two people..." Hatake Sakumo's expression became much more serious.

I originally came to see how Yagura captured the tailed beasts, but I never expected to see this scene.

Regardless of their origins, these two ninjas are enough to warrant the attention of a ninja village like Konoha.

Just as Hatake Sakumo was still guessing the identities of Yakusei and the other person, on another hill not far from the lake, the ground began to ripple, and dozens of figures emerged from it.

The newcomers had no way to conceal their presence, so everyone noticed them almost simultaneously after they appeared.

"Iwa ninja!!" Hatake Sakumo recognized the ninja leading the group immediately, without even needing to look at his headband.

"It's the Eastern Dead of Iwagakure." A sensory ninja from Kirigakure also discovered the presence of Iwagakure ninja.

On the small hill.

Seeing the scene in the field and Sakumo Hatake on the distant hilltop, the leader of the dead men from the east looked on in surprise and said, "I didn't expect it to be so lively here."

They initially thought that the Hidden Mist was fighting someone and rushed over to see if they could take advantage of the situation, but they never expected to witness such a miraculous scene.

The Hidden Mist Village is indeed facing off against two mysterious ninjas, and although there are only two of them, it seems that the Hidden Mist Village is at a disadvantage.

The leader of the Kirigakure team is Yagura Karatachi, a powerful Kage-level ninja. This is where things get interesting.

"Look at that." Suma Shi, who was next to Higashi no Shijin, suddenly pointed to a ninja who was lying on the ground, half dead.

"It looks like Juzo Biwa from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and he seems to be seriously injured," said Hikari Iwa, a ninja standing in front of the two, in shock.

"Something seems off." Dong Siren's expression changed as he glanced at the two mysterious ninjas in black star-patterned robes in the arena.

"Who are these two people? They actually managed to fight against Yagura Hibiki Juzo and even gained the upper hand," Hikari exclaimed incredulously.

Yagura Karatachi and Juzo Biwa are both powerful ninjas who have long been famous in the ninja world. The fact that they were able to achieve such a record is enough to demonstrate the terror of the two black-clad star-robed ninjas.

"What should we do?" Suma asked.

At this moment, four forces were present. Although they were hostile to each other, no one dared to make a move easily.

"Let's see how things go first," said the Dead Man of the East.

In this situation, whoever strikes first dies faster.

On the other hand, Sakumo Hatake made the same judgment: to watch the show.

He hadn't planned to fight when he came here tonight, especially now that there was an additional Iwa ninja squad.

"This is really going to be interesting." Orochimaru, always eager for a good show, turned his gaze to Yakushiki.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat strange.

Yagura's face grew increasingly grim. Konoha and Iwa ninja had arrived, and he was facing Yao Tian, ​​whose strength he didn't know. What was he to do?

Yao Xingji glanced around calmly. He had roughly guessed that Konoha was coming, but he didn't expect that Iwa ninja would also come.

Suddenly, Yao Xingji's gaze fixed on the other side of the lake, where he saw dozens of lights and shadows.

"Has someone else arrived?" Yao Xingji wondered to himself.

Soon, people from Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure noticed the unusual activity and turned their attention to it.

Before long, dozens of figures emerged from the woods, led by a female ninja. Across a lake, she stared at the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Leaf Village, and the Hidden Stone Village.

Why are there so many people?

The Sand Village ninja, Pakura, stared in shock at the scene before him, momentarily stunned.

"Can I expect to see all the ninjas from the five great ninja villages here?" Yakusei thought to himself as he looked at the Sand Ninjas who had appeared.

Of the five great ninja nations, only the Cloud Village ninjas of the Land of Lightning have not yet appeared.

Chapter 178 Aloe Vera Essence

Upon seeing the people from the Land of Wind appear, Sakumo Hatake, who was standing on the mountaintop, showed a slight change in expression, especially after noticing that the leader was the female Jonin, Yoruichi Hakura, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At the same time, Sunagakure also noticed Hatake Sakumo and nodded slightly in their direction.

The Land of Fire and the Land of Wind are allies. The two had met before and cooperated with each other. When they met again, they were more confident than the other forces.

In contrast to these two countries, the people of the Land of Earth and the Land of Water were not so happy.

Yagura's face was grim. He was now in a dilemma, unable to back down or fight back. Their only advantage was that they had the most people.

As for the Iwa ninja, although they are few in number and have no allies, they have the advantage of Earth Release, so if they want to leave, there is a high probability that no one can stop them.

Swish!

Orochimaru used a Body Flicker Technique to appear next to Yakusei, abandoning his confrontation with Yagura.

"The situation is a bit complicated now. Apart from the people from Kumogakure, ninjas from several major countries are all here," Orochimaru said softly.

Compared to the others, Yao Tian was the most isolated, since there were only two of them. Although Ming Shiyin had arrived, his whereabouts were still unknown.

“Not only.” Yao Xingji shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Orochimaru asked, puzzled.

Yao Xingji pointed to the lake to the side; he had already spotted another ninja in that direction.

Orochimaru's expression changed, and he looked in that direction.

At the same time, ninjas from other countries also noticed the direction Yao Xingji was pointing and focused their senses there.

Soon, they spotted a group of ninjas rushing towards them.

"What powerful sensory abilities!" said one of the sensory ninjas beside Sakumo Hatake.

If Yao Xingji hadn't pointed it out, they wouldn't have noticed there were ninjas over there at all.

It wasn't that they lacked strength, but rather that the approaching group was incredibly fast. When Yao Xingji pointed them out, they were still outside their perception range and completely undetectable. Yao Xingji's ability to detect the approaching group from such a distance could only mean he possessed extraordinary talent in perception.

It was Yao Xingji's single gesture that made all the forces present look at him with new respect.

Boom!

Soon, two bolts of lightning struck the edge of the lake, not far from Yekura in the Land of Wind.

"The Abby Duo?" Yao Xingji's expression changed the moment he saw the newcomers.

The people who arrived were none other than Abby and her duo from Cloud Village.

In Kumogakure, the strongest ninja in the village will pass down the title of Raikage "A" from generation to generation. A will rule the village with strong leadership charisma, while Bee is the code name of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. A and Bee are basically the two strongest people in Kumogakure. They grow up together from childhood and become the closest and most loyal partners.

The person who has arrived here is Abby from Kumogakure, but not the strongest Abby in Kumogakure at present, but the next generation Abby.

The Hidden Cloud Village is currently under the rule of the Third Raikage, and the man before them, A, is the Third Raikage's son and the future Fourth Raikage. As for Bee beside him, he is Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. Both are much younger than they appeared in the original Naruto manga, but they are still easily recognizable.

"Alright, now the five great ninja nations are all here." Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils flickered slightly as he spoke.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the room fell into a deathly silence.

When Sunagakure saw Kumogakure, his face immediately darkened, filled with anger and hatred.

Because the Third Shinobi World War was started by the Cloud Village's surprise attack on the Sand Village, the Cloud Village and the Sand Village have long been mortal enemies.

"The Land of Fire is currently at war with the Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Water, while the Land of Lightning is at war with the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Wind. The Land of Fire is allied with the Land of Wind, while the other countries are not currently allied." Orochimaru briefly explained the relationships between the five great nations, fearing that Yakusei Ji might not be fully aware of the current situation.

In fact, the relationship here goes far beyond what Orochimaru said. Otherwise, they would have just started fighting as soon as they met, instead of being so hesitant and just standing there in a standoff.

The reason is that the hostile relationship between the five great nations is too complicated. There is no situation where the enemy of my enemy is my friend. For example, the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Lightning are at war with each other. Now that they have met, how can they fight?

"Yo yo yo, so this place is quite lively. The ninjas from the five great nations are all here. Yo yo yo, no one dares to make a move. You're all a bunch of weaklings..."

A rap burst from the background, and everyone looked on with a few black lines.

"Shut up!" Ai slapped Killer Bee on the forehead, slamming the rapper to the ground.

However, Killer Bee quickly got up, looking indifferent, clearly already used to it.

"That's really... weirdo..." Yao Xingji knew that Killer Bee loved rap, but he didn't expect Killer Bee to say something like that in this kind of situation, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.

Orochimaru was speechless for a moment, looking at the Cloud Village with a strange expression.

"Lord Yagura, what do we do now?" a pale-faced ninja from Kirigakure asked.

Having endured the torment of the Pain Mask, they really didn't want to go to war with Yaotian again. Otherwise, if they were to fall into that extreme pain and other hostile countries attacked them, they would be powerless to fight back.

Yagura clenched his fist, his gaze sweeping over the ninjas from the surrounding countries.

To be honest, he doesn't know what to do now.

There were too many people, and their relationships were too complicated, which had exceeded his expectations. Even the slightest friction could cause a major battle.

"It seems everyone is quite interested in the battle between our Yaotian and the Water Kingdom. Are you planning to join in?" Yao Xingji suddenly asked.

The sound echoed across the empty lake, creating shimmering ripples.

Aside from Konoha, the ninjas from the other countries frowned, finding the name Yao Tian completely unfamiliar.

When Hatake Sakumo heard the words "Yaotian," his expression immediately changed.

He finally understood the purpose of the two mysterious people's visit, and also realized why Yagura had been defeated by them. He also realized where the familiarity he felt about the black star robe came from.

Just as Yao Xingji was waiting for everyone's answer, his Eye of Salvation suddenly paused and looked at a large tree in the forest.

A strange figure appeared there at some unknown time, slowly growing out of the trees, with half of its body exposed.
