Konoha: The road to the gods starting from Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 427 The Unlucky Iwagakure Village
In the south of the Earth Kingdom, deep underground somewhere in the wilderness.

This is a newly opened secret base ordered by Uchiha Hatoha and the White Zetsus. After escaping from Konoha, their group has been hiding in this new base.

Although Konoha, Kiri Ninja, Kumo Ninja, and Sand Ninja all searched for their whereabouts, the territory of the Ninja World was still quite large, and it was not an easy task to search every inch of the Ninja World.

Moreover,

Iwagakure Village is the only village that has not been invaded by Uchiha Hatoha. At least it has not been attacked by Uchiha Hatoha on the surface, and unlike Kumogakure Village, important people have died in the hands of Uchiha Hatoha. .

The Iwa Ninjas are not very active in searching and investigating the whereabouts of Uchiha Hatoha, and the Land of Earth is the radiation range of Iwagakure Village, where only the Iwa Ninjas can act openly.

After Iwa Ninja adopted the strategy of dealing with errands, it became an almost impossible task to find Uchiha Hatoha and others who were already hiding deeply.

of course,

The threat of Uchiha Hatoha is also obvious to all. Although the Third Tsuchikage Onoki is a very old-school village supremacist, he believes that as long as it is for his own Iwagakure Village, he doesn't care even if he cooperates with the devil.

But the problem is that the devil is not crazy enough to drag the whole world into hell, but this madman Uchiha Hatoha is ready to destroy the world!
The Iwa Ninjas still understand that if the skin is gone, the hair will be attached, so it is impossible to cooperate with Uchiha Hatoha.

The decision they made after the debate was to openly cooperate with Konoha and other villages in the search and encirclement operation against Uchiha Hatoha, that is, to put on a high-profile search posture in the Land of Earth and several surrounding small vassal countries.

"... Bastard! Bastard!!"

Moreover,

then,

They can be allowed to join the alliance established by Konoha, Mist Ninja and other villages, and actively provoke Uchiha Hatoha, who has no hatred against them... Many people in Iwagakure Village are also resistant to this. .

The wind was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the haze of death hung over Iwagakure Village.

Uchiha Hatoha is now the enemy of Konoha, Kiri Ninja, Kumo Ninja and Suna Ninja. Cooperating with Uchiha Hatoha means that Iwagakure Village will also be a public enemy of the world, which is absolutely unacceptable to the Iwa Ninjas.

----

Ohnoki slowly fell from the sky and stood on the ruins, his eyes were red, his hands hanging down were shaking uncontrollably, and he uttered repetitive, machine-like curses.

As for whether allowing Uchiha Hatoha to do so will bring trouble to themselves... Regarding this issue, the senior officials of Iwagakure Village, headed by the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, believe that as long as Uchiha Hatoha has not completely lost If you are sensible, you will not provoke their Iwa ninja while making enemies of Konoha, Kiri ninja, Kumo ninja and Sand ninja.

All the tacit understanding Ohnoki and others thought they had with Uchiha Hatoha was simply broken.

Such a miserable scene before him gave him an unprecedented severe blow. He never thought that such a situation would happen in the Yanyin Village under his rule.

finally,
The decision was made after lengthy discussions and debates among the top management of Iwagakure Village.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking. If you are facing a traditional enemy, there is a high probability that you will make the choice that Ohnoki and others expected.

It is precisely in order to create more usable party members that Uchiha Jiuha has set his sights on Iwagakure Village, preparing to harvest more usable souls and prepare a strong enough team.

Broken limbs and broken arms can also be seen everywhere.

After experiencing the previous experience in Konoha Village, Uchiha Hatoha has gained extremely rich harvests. Not only has his own strength been slightly improved, but he has also harvested many high-quality souls and can create more usable souls. of partisans.

In Uchiha Hatoha's view, there is nothing terrible about having enemies all over the world, because all these enemies are destined to be buried by him!
The key point is whether you have the power to defeat all enemies in the world and be able to defeat them!

But in fact, it was just a superficial effort, and there was no serious search for the whereabouts of Uchiha Hatoha at all. The idea was to let Uchiha Hatoha continue to cause chaos and continue to weaken the four major ninja villages.

But the problem is that Uchiha Jiuha is not a villain in the traditional sense. He is a madman who is completely desperate for the world and wants to pull the world to die with him!

The neatly planned Yanyin Village of the past is no longer what it looks like for a long time, and is full of ruins and ruins.

"Lord Tsuchikage, casualties..."

The Iwa Ninja who rushed over was pale and hesitant to speak. He wanted to report the situation, but when he thought of that shocking number, he got stuck in his throat and couldn't speak.

"Tell me how many people have been sacrificed!" Ohnomu asked without replying.

"...Currently, there are approximately twenty-two jounin killed, more than 200 chuunin injured, genin... about 600 people have completely lost contact, and there are civilians... ···Nearly 2,000 people have lost their voice!”

The Iwa ninja who reported the news said softly.

Onoki fell into a long silence.

The direct death toll of nearly 3,000 people did not include the injured. If the wounded who were seriously injured and died later were included, the death toll would easily exceed 3,000.

Including those who were disabled due to injuries... Iwagakure Village was really injured this time.

"Except..."

however,
The bad news isn't over yet.

"Is there any bad news? Tell me in one breath." Ohnoki scolded him coldly.

"Also, Master Han... lost contact." The Iwa nin standing at the back bravely told the bad news.

"what?"

Ohnoki's tone suddenly rose, and he ignored the sadness and internal conflict. He turned around suddenly, stretched out his hand and grabbed the neck of the Iwa ninja who came to report the news, "Tell me clearly, why is Han missing?"

汉，
This is the name of the Five-Tails Jinchuuriki.

He is a Jinchūriki in his prime and at his peak. He had already earned the famous nickname of 'Steam Ninja' before the Third Ninja War. After that, he gained the reputation repeatedly during the Third War. Merit, the Sandaime Raikage's death was also due to his contribution.

Just now,

Facing the purple-black Susanoo released by Uchiha Hatoha, only his Dust Release Blood Successor Elimination and the Tailed Beast Jade released by Han can bring considerable effective damage.

Yes,

Ohnoki and Han were fighting side by side just ten minutes ago.

But now he was told that Han was missing... This was completely unacceptable to Ohnoki, because he knew very well what missing on the battlefield meant. Missing on the battlefield and death could be directly equated. of.

"It's just missing. The Sensing Ninja and Sensing Ninja can't feel Lord Han's chakra fluctuations at all!" The Iwa Ninja who reported the news was trembling. After all, Lord Tsuchikage in an angry state is really scary, but he is also a man who has never died. The qualified ninja who climbed out of the pile was not frightened into speechlessness by the angry Tsuchikage-sama. "Who can make Han disappear? Han is a Jinchuuriki, and a Jinchuuriki in his prime!!"

Onoki roared loudly and emphasized repeatedly.

but,

The next second, a loud and sad voice came from not far away.

"But Han is injured too!"

Ohnoki loosened the collar in his hand, and looked at the burly Iwa Ninja who was walking over with a sharp gaze like a blade.

The visitor is none other than
It is the Iwa Ninja named Huangtu. He is not only the top expert in Iwagakure Village, but more importantly, he is also the son of Onoki.

"Loess, what are you talking about? The strength of the Jinchuuriki is not just its destructive power. Don't you know how tenacious their vitality is? For Han, being injured is nothing..."

"Lord Tsuchikage, I know you don't want to believe this result, but please don't forget your identity, please wake up! The jinchūriki are just tenacious, they are not immune... they will not die. !!!”

Huangtu stood in front of Ohnoki.

He waved his hand and signaled the Iwa Ninja who came to report the news to step back. The Iwa Ninja glanced at the stunned Tsuchikage, hesitated for two seconds, and chose to leave. He didn't want to hear the Tsuchikage. A conversation between an adult and his son.

And he has finished reporting everything he should report. Instead of staying and listening to those conversations that may bring him big trouble, it is better to retreat temporarily.

"..."

Ohnoki remained silent.

Huang Tu's straightforward words exposed his self-deception.

The vitality of the jinchūriki is indeed extremely powerful. The injuries they suffer in battle will be treated by the tailed beast chakra immediately. Some small wounds can be healed instantly, some of which are very dangerous to ordinary people. Even if serious injuries fall on them, they can heal themselves slowly.

But that's it,
Jinchuuriki are not immortal, they will still die if they suffer a fatal attack.

otherwise,
The jinchūriki will no longer change from generation to generation!

"Loess, what happened to Han...? I saw him being hit by Uchiha Hatoha's attack, but at that time he had already entered the state of half-tailed beast. I guessed that he was Most of them were seriously injured, so I rushed to chase Uchiha Hatoha without having time to check his condition... Could it be that there was no medical team that rushed to rescue him immediately?"

Onoki regained his composure, controlled his emotions, began to think seriously, and poured out all the questions in his mind like beans.

"The medical team was dispatched as soon as possible. To be precise, it was not just the medical team. In order to prevent Han from running out of control due to serious injuries, the sealing squad was also sent over."

Huang Tu shook his head and paused for two seconds before continuing:
"But the problem is that when they rushed to Han's location, all they saw was a deep pit blasted out by Uchiha Hatoha's attack. They were unable to find Han's whereabouts. After searching around the area to no avail, , they immediately reported this information..."

Ohnoki listened silently and did not interrupt.

"... Later, when you, Tsuchikage-sama, were chasing Uchiha Hatoha, the sensing ninjas had already conducted a blanket search in the village, even the territories of those families were no exception, but... ·····Still found nothing." Huang Tu explained carefully.

After listening to Huang Tu's answer, Ohnoki remained silent for more than ten seconds before speaking: "What's the conclusion? Huang Tu, what is your conclusion?"

"Because Han's body was not found, we speculate that it might be Uchiha Hatoha's gang members lurking in the village who abducted the seriously injured Han first. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Han is dead and his body was taken away! !”

Huangtu's voice was low.

Either of these two situations is not good news for them. Even if the truth is the former, Han is still alive, but in the state of his own Iwagakure Village, there is simply no ability to rescue Han, the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki. .

To put it cruelly,

For the current Iwagakure Village, the latter situation is the most advantageous, because it means that the five tails in Han's body have also died together. According to the rebirth law of tailed beasts, Iwagakure Village will still have a chance to resurrect them later. of five-tailed capture.

If the former situation occurs, then Iwagakure Village will most likely lose control of the Five-Tails.

"...Loess, do you think...I made the wrong decision!"

After a long time, Onoki said slowly.

Hearing Master Tsuchikage's inquiry, Huang Tu looked at the short, but as strong as a rock figure in front of him, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, and wanted to say "Yes!"

From the beginning, he disapproved of his Iwagakure village watching the battle between Konoha and four other villages and Uchiha Hatoha.

Especially when he learned that the four villages of Konoha, Kirigakure, Kumogakure and Sunagakure had established a close alliance relying on Namikaze Minato, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, he directly suggested that his own Iwagakure Village should also Join this alliance.

In this way, the possible threats Uchiha Hatoha can be brought to a minimum can be minimized, and the Iwagakure Village can be prevented from experiencing disasters like Kirigakure Village and Sunagakure Village.

however,
His view is truly a minority in Iwagakure.

There were very few people in Iwagakure Village who held the same opinions as him. He had no way of swaying the decisions made by the village's higher-ups. He could only watch the turmoil in the shinobi world with cold eyes, while hoping that disaster would not befall his Iwagakure Village. superior.

But it is a pity that the prayer failed to take effect. Uchiha Hatoha's malice was fair and fair against everyone and all forces in the ninja world.

Early today,
Uchiha Hatoha's figure appeared in Iwagakure Village. The Iwanins not only speculated on how troublesome Uchiha Hatoha was from the intelligence, but also experienced the horror of Uchiha Hatoha in person.

The purple-black Susanoo is completely the incarnation of destruction. Loess exerts all its power, but it can only be said to have an interference effect. There are only Lord Tsuchikage's Dust Release Blood Successor and the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki. The tailed beast jade released by Han can bring effective damage to Uchiha Jiuha.

But it only brought effective damage. After Uchiha Jiuha displayed all kinds of bloody limit and secret skills, Iwa Ninja was never able to really hurt Uchiha Jiuha.

finally,
The battle ended with Uchiha Hatoha's active evacuation. Until the end of the battle, nothing could be done to Uchiha Hatoha. Only their Iwagakure Village suffered huge losses in this sudden war.

And the culprit behind all this is of course Uchiha Hatoha.

But...the wrong decisions made by the senior executives, led by the Sandaime Tsuchikage, were also one of the important reasons for today's situation.

But the Tsuchikage was more than just the Tsuchikage, he was his father.

Looking at my father's extremely haggard face, there were some words that I just couldn't say.

"Tsuchikage...Father, you once taught me that regret is the most useless emotion in the world. Instead of dwelling on past regrets, we should look at the present and the future and find ways to make up for past regrets, especially If you, father, can't hold on to this situation now, maybe... the history of our Iwagakure Village will be ended!"

Huang Tu racked his brains and spoke the truth without any falsehood.
