Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Chapter 101 Three teams against one team, the advantage is on my side!

call out!
Minato grabbed Kai and went straight across the border to Kyouhiko's side.

"Huh, coming over."

Kai looked around and sighed, "I'm sorry, this kind of infiltration operation is really not suitable for me!"

He felt like he was holding himself back.

If it weren't for him, the other three wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

"It's nothing. Everyone has their own areas of expertise. You're not good at ninjutsu, so it's normal that you can't do this kind of thing."

Minato smiled and spoke to comfort him.

Jingyan glanced around and then fixed his eyes on the north.

"Let's disguise ourselves as Kusanagi and go along the border."

Ok?
Minato's eyes lit up, realizing that this was a good idea.

Even if there are ninjas from Takigakure, they will not become suspicious because there are Kusagakure ninjas patrolling the Land of Grass. At most, they will think that Kusagakure is a little wary.

but.

Considering the movements of Kusagakure and Iwagakure, the surrounding small ninja villages will not have any doubts at all.

"That's it!"

All the way north.

They soon arrived near the Kusagakure Village.

As a small country, Kusagakure Village is not too far from the border, and it is only an hour's journey for a ninja.

……

evening.

Kusagakure Village, office in the leader's building.

"Hunting Jonin, we can provide you with convenience, but we cannot participate in the battle. This violates our alliance with Konoha."

"Alliance? You have already cooperated with us, why do you still care about Konoha? Do you think Konoha can trust you like before after the war?"

Kari sneered.

Old thing, you still want to be indecisive!
He glanced at them, and seeing that Huang Tu didn't move, he continued to press: "You, the Kusagakure Village, must be firm in your stance. Either help us, or just help Konoha. This way, we, the Hidden Rock Village, can make a clear decision. Otherwise..."

The hunter's eyes were sinister.

"How can we be sure that you won't stab us in the back of the Iwagakure Village while we're dealing with Konoha?"

"Hun! Don't talk nonsense. Since the Grass Ninja leader has promised, he will definitely not go back on his word. At least he will help us supply money, food and medicine, right?"

At the edge of the loess, the jonin named Majiki chuckled.

The Kusagakure leader Asano Yu forced a smile on his face and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course! Now that we have made a decision, we will definitely not betray the Iwagakure Village, but the Kusagakure Village does have limited power and cannot provide more help..."

He looked at the yellow earth in the middle.

Among the three ninja teams, as the son of Ōnoki, Huangdi obviously has the highest status.

In a way, he represents Ōnoki's attitude.

Huang Tu did not express his attitude, but judging from his expression, he was obviously unhappy and could not agree to Asano Yu's conditions.

I only want to open the road so that they can pass safely, and the Kusagakure Village will not interfere in the battle between the two villages...

Want to please everyone.

How can such a good thing happen?
Although he was not good at these, Ohnoki had already instructed him before he left that this time the Kusagakure Village must not be forced to please both sides and they must give a clear attitude.

At least give a letter of allegiance.

There was silence on both sides for a moment.

however.

They didn't notice that a vine was quietly spreading next to the narrow window, climbing up the wall and approaching this place.

The vines blend in with the surrounding walls and tall trees, making it impossible to tell the difference.

The people inside are still arguing.

Finally, Huang Tu finally spoke.

"Okay, we understand your difficulties, and we also know that your village is unwilling to directly become an enemy of Konoha, but your village has Konoha's backing and is located at a strategic point on the trade route, so you must have a lot of money, right?"

The series of demands made by the others just now raised the conditions for the Iwagakure Village.

The conditions were suddenly relaxed, and Asano Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I've heard that Ōnoki's son is simple-minded and easy to talk to.

He is indeed honest and simple.

"As for money and military supplies, we can certainly agree. Thank you for your understanding from the Iwagakure Village! Please also inform the Tsuchikage that we in the Kusagakure Village will make arrangements for everything and provide information about the Land of Fire and Konoha so that you can make your request at the most appropriate time..."

Asano Yuzheng said.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

He immediately stopped talking, raised his hand to signal, then walked to the door, opened it and looked outside.

An ANBU ninja arrived.

"Chief, it's not good."

"Don't panic, what's the matter?"

Asano Yu asked calmly.

The Anbu ninja handed over the information scroll.

"Please review the latest information from the Fire Nation."

"Ah."

Asano Yu took it.

Then his expression suddenly changed, and he pretended to be calm: "Okay, I understand. Ask them to continue monitoring and report back immediately if they have any intelligence."

"Yes!"

Asano Yu stepped back.

After waiting for a while, he closed the door and went back to the house.

"Captain Asano, is there any action from Konoha?"

"Yes, according to our caravan and Anbu reports in the Land of Fire, Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas of Konoha, has now arrived in the north of the Land of Fire."

Asano licked his lips, looking a little flustered, and quickly handed the scroll to Huang Tu.

Huang Tu took it with a serious expression.

Jiraiya...

None of the three ninjas of Konoha are easy to get along with.

If it were in the past, when Sarutobi Hiruzen was still in power, Asano Yu would not be so afraid.

He knew Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Given Sarutobi Hiruzen's personality, his foreign policy is mainly based on stability, and he rarely makes decisions to take the initiative to attack. Even if he knows that the Kusagakure Village is biased, he will not take the initiative to attack.

but.

Tsunade is different.

I heard that all of Tsunade’s relatives died in the war. Does anyone know what her policy preferences are?
Huang Tu took a look, then looked at Asano Yu, his eyes turned and an idea came to his mind.

"Chief Asano, I don't think Konoha will attack. They just want to shock them."

"Oh why?"

Asano Yu asked immediately.

Huang Tu explained: "If Tsunade's attitude was more aggressive and radical, Danzo would be too happy to leave Konoha and go to Kyoto to try to make a comeback?"

As a Jonin and the son of Ōnoki.

He is not a scheming person, but he is not a fool and he still has basic judgment ability.

When it comes to radicalism, no one is more radical and terrifying than Danzo, and this also shows the direction of their policy.

"Okay, I agree to your terms. We will support you with intelligence and supplies, but we won't provide direct personnel assistance."

Asano Yu took out a pen and signed his name on the contract.

The name is also written on the loess.

In the end, Kari and Asano Yu each kept one.

Outside the house, Jing Yan was calm.

Judging from Danzo's whereabouts, Tsunade may indeed lean towards the moderate side, but moderation is relative, and she would never tolerate the actions of the Kusagakure Village.

Although Tsunade did not give direct orders when they came out, the general was not subject to the orders of the king when he was away.

Let’s talk after it’s done!

As soon as they left the secret room, the shadow clone lurking outside disappeared instantly.

……

A narrow pass in the Land of Grass near the Kannabi Bridge.

"Huang Tu, we are here under the orders of Lord Tsuchikage. It would be too embarrassing to go back in this state!"

Although the other party was Ōnoki's son, Kari was not very polite.

He was not very satisfied with the outcome of the negotiations.

Originally there was support in terms of interests and intelligence, but now the plan of attack has been put on hold.

Isn't this child's play?

Huang Tu patiently expressed his opinion: "Shuri, I know you are in a hurry, but the situation is unclear now. I think we can't act rashly. It is already a good result to be able to obtain the assistance of materials, intelligence and territory from the Kusagakure Village!"

He said, looking at the rest of the people.

"Are you the same as the hunter?"

"..."

Everyone was silent.

The loess sighed softly.

"The atmosphere in the village is too dangerous. Everyone wants to start a war, but can we really defeat Kumogakure and Konoha? What if we fail and the losses are too great?"

He said, and walked forward silently.

The others sneered but did not say anything, and followed behind.

They obviously don't agree.

They were at the back, keeping some distance from the people in front.

At this moment——

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion in the forest.

"Who?"

They immediately turned around and looked towards the source of the sound.

but.

Soon, a figure flashed over there, and one figure after another rushed out like ghosts, there were more than a dozen teams.

Shou gave a cold smile and immediately formed seals with his hands.

In an instant, there was a roar on the ground.

however.

None of them is real.

Are they all clones?

In an instant, everyone became alert and immediately built earth walls.

All of them are Chunin and Jonin, and they all have great speed, reaction and ability, and the cooperation between them is also excellent.

In the blink of an eye, they had built a fortress-like defense, and several of them burrowed underground, preparing for a sneak attack.

Positional warfare is exactly what the Iwagakure Village is best at.

They established their position and observed, then used ninjutsu to bombard, and found that there were only two real bodies here.

Minato Namikaze and Might Guy rushed towards them from one place.

Minato was very fast, but Kai was not slow either. He directly opened the "door" without any reservation.

because……

Tactically, they were only supporting, not the main attacker.

The goal is not to kill all the enemies, but——

Get that agreement!

"You guys from Konoha, you dare to attack us?"

The devil leech instantly rushed towards Minato.

He is not slow either.

At the moment of rushing over, he formed a seal with his hands and split his figure into two. Then he drew his sword and rushed towards the blind spot of Minato.

Just when the “three people” passed by each other…

A kunai was thrown out.

At the same time, Might Guy instantly leaped forward and kicked one of them in the arm with a Konoha Whirlwind, but Minato avoided the blade and hit him with a Rasengan with his backhand.

It's a shadow clone.

A dirt wall rose up, separating the two sides.

At the same time, "spiders" crawled out under your feet.

Explosive escape!

Just when they were about to explode.

Minato Namikaze grabbed Kai's shoulders and in an instant he had crossed the earth wall and was behind the demon leech.

"what?"

A hint of horror flashed in the eyes of the demon leech.

He didn't have time to fight back, or even to figure out what was happening -

bump!
The powerful impact gave him an incomparable "pushing back feeling".

With a bang...

He was hit by the Rasengan and smashed directly into the ground. Fortunately, there were teammates in the ground to help him. They used earth escape to dig out a layer of soil underneath and quickly rescued him.

However, the charge of Minato Namikaze and Kai had already attracted the siege of two teams, and the other two teams were also keeping their eyes on this side, guarding against other people lurking there.

At this moment——

Zizizi!
A low, sharp, high-frequency thunder came from the other side.

Thunder escape?

"not good!"

"I come!"

Shou's face was gloomy, and he immediately headed towards the direction of the thunder and swung a punch in that direction.

however.

The next moment, the earth wall in front of them was breached by a column of water with lightning.

follow closely--

Thunder and lightning spread, and in an instant the earth array wall collapsed and turned into a piece of broken earth.

Behind the ninja, a figure rushed over quickly.

Kakashi held the rolling lightning in his hand, and his figure moved forward quickly after the activation of Lightning Release, and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.

One by one, thorns of earth attacked them.

but.

Jing Yan formed a seal with one hand, and a column of water spurted out in an instant. Then he used the sword as a guide to continuously pour lightning chakra into the water column.

Combined Ninjutsu: Thunder and Water Wave!

The water escape combined with the fairy chakra showed amazing destructive power, and with the addition of lightning escape -

The water column with lightning was unstoppable and devastating, clearing all obstacles ahead for Kakashi.

But it is limited to obstacles.

The water column moved slowly, and except for a few Chuunin who were directly blown away or killed by the technique, most of the Jonin used their own methods and earth escape to dodge.

but.

At this moment, Kakashi was in front of Shou and punched him.

The corners of Shou's mouth slightly raised.

Before the ninjutsu collided, the chakra in his fist suddenly exploded.

Explosive Style: Mine Fist!
however.

The next second, an expression of disbelief and astonishment appeared on his face.

The opponent's hands were like spears and spikes, piercing through his mine fist chakra directly, crushing Shou's arms, and going all the way deep and cutting directly through his throat.

Thunder Water Rasengan!
Under Kyouhiko's cover, Kakashi's technique successfully exerted its terrifying destructive power.

"what?"

Huang Tu and the devil leech were both shocked.

What kind of technique is this?

How could there be such terrible destructive power!
They looked ahead in disbelief. After the chakras collided, Shou's head soared into the sky, while his body was grabbed by the other party and retreated directly.

They quickly reacted -

The covenant agreement is still with the hunter!
Huang Tu's expression suddenly changed: "Stop them!"

however.

On the other side, Minato Namikaze and Might Guy were also creating chaos.

Minato is good at the instant body instantaneous technique, Flying Thunder God and Rasengan, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know ordinary ninjutsu. He immediately sprayed a flame

Kakashi grabbed the body and immediately retreated.

This ninjutsu that combines changes in nature and form displayed its terrifying surprise and destructive power when it was first used on the battlefield.

Seeing him leaving with the corpse, Huang Tu became anxious. He formed seals with his hands and used ninjutsu to cause the ground on both sides to crack.

Kakashi's feet suddenly fell off the ground, and several figures emerged from the earth.

No words needed.

Jingyan has completed the ninjutsu——

The main body forms a water dragon bullet, and the shadow clone forms a thunder escape seal.

Fairy magic: Thunder and water dragon bomb!

The roaring lightning water dragon rolled forward.

Condensed from fairy chakra and improved by Jingyan, the special water dragon bullet is indestructible.

Earth formation wall?
Earth-burrowing spider?

Any earth escape that comes into contact with it will collapse, and it will be destroyed in its path!
The people from the Hidden Rock Village were shocked, and their faces suddenly changed.

Before the Lightning Release, the Earth Release was naturally restrained, not to mention that Jingyan's technique was blessed by the Senjutsu Chakra, making it more powerful than ordinary ninjutsu.

One by one, earth walls rose and collapsed.

at last.

Finally, a mountain rose up and directly blocked the advance of the Thunder Water Dragon Bomb.

Everyone was relieved.

But then, they felt ashamed and afraid.

The opponent used ninjutsu alone to suppress the six of them. Although there was a relationship of attribute restraint, the power of the opponent's ninjutsu was undoubtedly strong.

"Who are they?"

"I don't know, but..."

Loess was breathing heavily.

He never thought that one day he would face such a terrifying ninjutsu.

Although they managed to block the terrifying move with their heavy defenses, it also meant that they lost the chance to advance and pursue.

By the time everything was settled, Kyouhiko and Kakashi had already retreated.

Namikaze Minato took Gai and Flying Thunder God away, leaving behind only a mess at the scene, with wide-open, shocked heads and the bodies of the other four Chunins.

The loss is too great!
Everyone was silent.

Even if the scene just now had not happened, they might not be able to catch up with the other party if they chased after them, but might instead bring greater losses.

At this moment, everyone finally looked at the loess.

"Huangtu, what should we do?"

"Take the demon leech back to heal first, and then we'll see what Lord Tsuchikage decides."

Huang Tu frowned.

The destructive power of the ninjutsu displayed by the opponent was beyond their imagination.

In addition, the images of these people should have been disguised by transformation techniques, and their identities cannot be revealed from their appearance alone. As for ninjutsu, I have never heard of those types of ninjutsu.

Especially the move that killed the hunter, which reminded him of the three generations of Raikage's four moves.

He even suspected that—

Could these people be from the Hidden Cloud Village?

I don't understand.

"Go back first."

Huangtu could already imagine what the villagers’ reaction would be when he returned.

Regardless of whether the opponent is a ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village or the Hidden Leaf Village, there is no doubt that the opponent is strong. And these people, who were fanatical and warlike before, have lost their temper after being punched and want to take the blame for the decision themselves.

Huang Tu is honest and easy to get along with, but he also felt suffocated for a moment and couldn't express himself in one breath.

He really felt...

Those people in the village should think carefully about whether they should persist in the idea of ​​war.

Huang Tu directed everyone to clean up the bodies and the wounded.

Normally, it would be faster to send the wounded to the Kusagakure Village for treatment, but this is a different situation.

After something like this happened, sending them to Kusagakure might as well be sending them away as food.

Asano Yu is not a pushover.

and.

There is one thing that Huang Tu doesn't understand.

The other party was obviously coming for Shou, and their goal was to kill Shou instantly and snatch the covenant documents from him.

They deployed many secret sentries outside.

At that time, they didn't notice anyone approaching or eavesdropping. How did these four people know that the information was with Shou?

……

Inside the Grass Ninja Village.

In the leader's office, Asano Yu quickly made a plan and ordered his subordinates to carry it out.

He lay in his chair, pondering the pros and cons.

"Hey!"

"Now that we have done it, we cannot regret it. There are huge changes within Konoha, and it is wise to cooperate with the Iwagakure Village."

He kept persuading himself.

however.

At this moment, there was a banging sound outside, and then an Anbu ninja rushed open the door in panic.

"What does it mean to be in a panic?"

Asano's eyes widened, his gaze filled with anger.

The other party's tone was filled with fear.

"Master, the ninjas of Iwagakure and Iwagakure were attacked near the Kannobi Bridge. Judging from the traces at the scene, they suffered heavy casualties and have now returned to the Land of Earth."

"What?!!!"

Asano Yu stood up suddenly, finally unable to keep calm.

His hands couldn't stop shaking.

How can it be? ! ! !
Those are three elite teams!

"Is this Konoha? How many are here?"

"Not sure. When we arrived, the Iwagakure ninjas had already packed up and evacuated. But judging by the traces at the scene, there shouldn't be many. In addition, there were traces of lightning-style ninjutsu."

"This this……"

Asano Yu's mind was in a mess and he had completely lost all ideas.

not much.

Lightning Release Ninjutsu.

Could it be that the Hidden Cloud Village took action?

His lips trembled as he thought of another very important question.

The covenant should not have been taken away by the enemy, right?
He shouted in horror: "Quick! Send someone to the Hidden Rock Village to find out what's going on. Quick! It will be too late!"

"Yes!"
