From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Dozens of miles outside Konoha Village, figures were speeding past in the jungle.

But as they passed by, the figures of the White Zetsu changed and took on the appearance of humans.

The group at the front had already turned into members of the Fire Region Security Force, and they were still injured.

And behind them, there were ordinary people fleeing in panic.

Soon, hundreds of people were very close to Konoha.

The security force responsible for guarding the periphery of Konoha Village immediately stopped this group of people who looked like they were fleeing.

The leading team leader was stunned for a moment, and after falling from a height, he asked: "What happened to you? Were you attacked?"

The leader disguised as Bai Zetsu gasped and replied: "There is a monster attack! Six teams are holding back the enemy... We are responsible for leading the civilians to break through..."

His facial expression, behavior, movements and the injuries on his body all proved that what he said was true.

At the same time, another White Zetsu covered his bleeding wound on his abdomen and said, "Let ordinary people go into the village for treatment. Many of them are injured. We will return and fight to the death!"

Looking at the other person's hand that was covering the wound but was already bleeding.

The Konoha ninjas, who had some understanding of the Revolutionary Army, were deeply moved.

"You are also injured, so get treated first. And have you sent out the information about the monster you mentioned?"

Bai Zetsu shook his head slightly: "I don't know. The order given by the Archon to the security forces was to cover the evacuation of the people. But we fought with them and some people died."

White Zetsu, who had also transformed into a human form, began to add to the story.

"They have tails, grey-brown skin, sharp claws on their limbs, and great strength. Armament Haki can cause damage to them, but there are too many of them."

quantity?

The Konoha ninja, who was a little doubtful, tapped the communicator next to his ear.

Then he started to report.

And this time...

Konoha Hokage Building.

Shikaku, who had just been chatting and reading documents with Minato Namikaze, stood up suddenly.

"Send the detailed information to the Hokage's office immediately. Also notify all the Jonin in the village to gather. The Anbu should maintain communications and expand the alert area."

"clear."

After the call was hung up, Minato Namikaze's shadow clone, who had just been looking at the scenery, looked at Shikaku.

"Do you need me to self-destruct to notify the main body?"

Shikaku shook his head slightly: "The General Affairs Office must have received the information earlier than us. The Hokage is there, so there is no need to waste your presence for the time being."

Having said this, Shikaku paused.

"A large number of monsters are attacking towns in the Fire Region. The communications team has currently received requests for assistance and intelligence information from eighteen towns."

"monster?"

"The description of its appearance, capabilities, and evaluation will be sent to you soon. The description in the intelligence is that it is a monster."

At this time, Nara Shikaku's communication rang again.

"A large number of ordinary people are fleeing in the area along the cordon 18. Leading them is Squad 08 of the Shuhuo Town Security Force. They said that the town was attacked by monsters and many people were injured and needed treatment."

Hearing this, Nara Shikaku was about to let them in.

But when the words came to his lips, he paused cautiously in his mind.

"Shuhuo Town?"

Shuka Town is a town very close to Konoha, and in the past it was where the Fire Country Daimyo would rest the night before heading to Konoha.

Based on the distance, it is indeed possible to reach Konoha in such a short time.

But there is a time lag...

That is, after the attacking enemy appears, when will the governor of Shuhuo Town think that it is not an ordinary attack and quickly decide to report it?
Shikaku frowned, the number mentioned in the intelligence just now flashing through his mind.

The security force is the public security management force assigned by the General Affairs Office to each town, usually consisting of ten teams and forty people.

In this case, the intelligence reported highlighted the huge number of enemies.

The number of attacking monsters must be over a hundred, or even two hundred to be considered a large number by the town’s security forces.

Such enemies all look like monsters.

If I were the town's executive officer, I would choose to report it immediately, because regardless of whether I could win the battle or not, the number of monsters and monsters had already reached the reporting standards.

So... there is a time difference here.

It would be impossible for those ordinary people to reach Konoha in such a short time after being attacked, injured and evacuated.

"Shikaku, what's wrong?"

Haiyi's voice came from the communicator.

Shikaku asked solemnly, "Can the Anbu in charge of the alert confirm the identity of the person who escaped?"

Haiyi: "I know a few of them, and I can confirm that it is not a transformation technique. Is there a problem? The other party said that the people need to go to the village for treatment, and they have to go back to continue fighting."

Hearing this, Shikaku couldn't help but recall the firmness of the revolutionary army's ideology and will.

But at the same time, he also thought, what if it wasn't transformation?
If the effect of change can be achieved without the art of transformation, then are those ordinary people really ordinary people?
But don’t let go…

You have to know that both the Hokage and himself are members of the academy and comrades.

There is also the current situation of the ninja world.

An enlarged meeting was held, and all the villages that possessed tailed beasts were attacked, and except for Konoha and Kirigakure, the rest suffered heavy casualties.

In this situation, if these refugees are blocked outside the village, Konoha might become a target of suspicion in the future.

Thinking about this, Lu Jiu said, "Order the hospital staff to rush over as quickly as possible. When they get there, tell them that the injured cannot do strenuous exercise. All injured people will be treated on the spot."

Hai paused and said, "If we do this, the General Affairs Office may not buy into it later."

Shikaku replied in a deep voice: "I'm not the Hokage, am I? If anything goes wrong in the end, it will be my problem."

These words stunned Hai on the other end of the communicator.

Indeed, Shikaku is not the Hokage, not even the Acting Hokage.

The Fourth Hokage attended the expanded meeting with his guards and the tailed beasts. Shikaku, who was the former assistant of the Hokage, was only there to handle the affairs for a short period of time.

If someone at the expanded meeting questioned Konoha about this time, the Fourth Hokage could also put the blame on Shikaku.

but……

"The intelligence from Shuhuo Town has arrived. If Konoha is also one of the targets of those monsters, and the people who stayed outside for treatment were attacked and suffered heavy casualties... it would be troublesome."

Haiyi paused and said, "There's no need to be so cautious, right?"

Shikaku replied in a deep voice: "Do you know how many abilities the Kages of various villages have revealed when they were attacked before?"

"We still lack intelligence on them, and these enemies have been hiding in the dark all along."

Haiyi: "Understood, I will convey your order."

The communicator hung up and Shikaku turned to look at the clock hanging on the wall.

When the monster suddenly appeared, the first thing he thought of was the enemies hiding in the dark led by Otsutsuki.

But this time is different from before.

In the previous attack, the opponent’s purpose was clear, which was to obtain the tailed beasts.

But not long after the failure, they started to act again, and their target was not Konoha at first, but the towns in the Fire Region.

You have to know that each town is under the management of the General Affairs Office, not Konoha, let alone the Hokage.

Using the same old trick again? Blackmailing Mr. in this way?

The key here is that even Shikaku couldn't guess it due to lack of information.

But this did not stop him from being cautious.

Those monsters attacking the town will definitely not let Konoha go, and given the suspicion caused by the time difference, they have to test it no matter what.

The order was given and the medical ninja went.

According to the time given by the Intelligence Department, there is still some safe time between Shuhuo Town and Konoha.

And this time is the time of temptation.

Thinking of this, Shikaku dialed the communicator responsible for alerting Uchiha Shisui.

"Haiyi should have conveyed the order. The medical ninja will arrive soon. I need the security forces to make some preparations."

"Okay, got it." Then, through the communicator, Shikaku conveyed an order to Shisui in an encrypted manner.

……

In the woods, Shisui quickly arranged the teams to disperse and provide protection, in order to guard against the enemies coming from the direction of Shuhuo Town.

After Shisui walked away, the two White Zetsu looked at each other underground.

"Did you hear it?"

"Preparation? What preparation?"

"It should be to guard against the danger in Shuhuo Town, but...they don't let the people enter the village. The guys from the Nara clan are too cautious."

"Strong attack?"

"Our target is not the strong men of Konoha, the descendants of the strong men, but ordinary people who have a bond with them, right?"

"Let's kill some people outside first. Medical ninjas are also resources. I just don't know if they can let me see what poop looks like."

"I also want to see."

……

Soon, many medical ninjas came out of Konoha.

Uchiha Shisui negotiated with the other party, saying that many of the injured were no longer suitable for movement and could only be treated on the spot.

The other party also agreed.

But vaguely, these people, whether security personnel or ordinary people, were gathering together in the name of treatment, and were divided into several groups.

wrong!

Elsewhere, Uchiha Itachi, who received the order, looked at the crowd.

26, 26, 26...

It's so evenly distributed, there are twenty-six people queuing up for each treatment group.

Moreover, the group of guys who originally said they would go back to fight did not leave, but instead gathered together.

"Shisui."

Itachi warned in the Anbu communication channel.

But the next moment.

"Shh!"

The sharp claws swept past and went directly towards the nearest medical ninja.

However, the other party suddenly raised his head, stretched out his hand and grabbed his white wrist.

"Assholes! Those monsters attacked the Fire Beam Town!"

The next moment after the roar sounded, the entire open space that was originally used for treatment instantly exploded.

One by one, the White Zetsu launched their attacks.

However, the monster that revealed its true form was not the gray-brown-skinned monster that attacked Shuhuo Town as reported in the intelligence, but a white one.

"Wouldn't it be nice to be killed peacefully and become a part of us? If you die like this, there will be no pain."

More than twenty White Zetsu suddenly surrounded and pounced.

But the security forces, who had been prepared for a long time, also took action at this moment.

Before they could form seals, Susanoo's skeleton suddenly stretched out and grabbed the four White Zetsu.

At the same time, six kunai were thrown out, accurately hitting the hearts of several White Zetsu, but it seemed to have no effect.

"Om..."

In the sunlight, the back of the kunai flickered.

As Uchiha Itachi jumped down, the steel wire was pulled to form small blockade areas.

The armed color domineering covered the steel wire, and instantly split the four White Zetsu into pieces.

The medical ninja and the Anbu team led by Itachi worked together to push away the remaining dozen or so White Zetsu.

But even so, the medical ninja's abdomen was bleeding heavily.

The Palm Immortal Technique burst into green chakra and quickly stopped the bleeding on its own.

Uchiha Itachi looked around, the pupils of his Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly spun, and his expression looked very ugly.

He threw away the White Zetsu who was holding the Susanoo skeleton, and at the same time, he moved away from more than ten people.

"boom!"

The black flames burned a pile of White Zetsu. Uchiha Itachi said in a deep voice: "Leave three people to form a swastika formation to protect the medical team, and the others will provide support."

"understand!"

Yamato, who was given a name and had a frown under the same mask, rushed out and made hand seals.

Trees stretched out one after another, binding many White Zetsu in place.

Then, kunai were thrown out one after another, nailing the monsters' heads to the tree trunks.

The two cooperated and shuttled through the chaotic battlefield.

But the next moment, the unusual movement in the forest made all the ninjas who had awakened their Observation Haki look over.

next moment……

Countless gray-brown skinned monsters were rushing towards them in groups.

"Kill, kill, kill..."

A split body of the Ten-Tails leaped down, and its eyes turned out to be the legendary Rinnegan.

"kill!"

Amidst the roar, a huge suction force grabbed the Konoha ninja.

At the same time, the sharp claws stabbed down.

"puff."

Blood was spilled and the body was thrown to the ground.

And White Zetsu, who was underground, took the corpse away.

In the melee, Uchiha Shisui, who used the technique of instant body movement, transformed into twelve beings and took away White Zetsu one after another in the crowd.

But the entry of new enemies is beyond the reach of Bai Zetsu in terms of both numbers and strength.

In this situation, Shisui jumped up and dialed the communicator of the Hokage Building.

The combination of chakra and domineering quickly constructed the Susanoo condensed in the upper body.

The huge size did not scare the Ten-Tails, and the green magatama condensed into shape in Susanoo's hands.

"Boom boom boom..."

After a series of attacks, Uchiha Shisui intercepted a group of monsters outside the melee.

At the same time, he roared: "Itachi!"

Uchiha Itachi was already ready at this moment, and his Mangekyō Sharingan exploded.

The black fire of Amaterasu separated the entire circle.

But the next moment, the Ten-Tails clone, which had just possessed the Rinnegan, walked towards the black flames.

The Rinnegan released its pupil power, like an endless black hole, absorbing all the flames completely.

"kill!"

The roaring monster looked at Uchiha Itachi, and the Ten-Tails clone that had just been blocked behind him launched an attack again.

And in the Hokage Building.

Nara Shikaku has already connected to Shisui's communication.

"Is there something wrong?"

"All ordinary people and members of the Revolutionary Army's security forces are transformed from a white monster!"
