Escape From Konoha

Vol 2 Chapter 40: Artist's Choice

The country of ghosts, the eastern frontier fortress.

The artillery fire swept the entire battlefield, and the fortress, which was occupied by Iwayin, was now reduced to ruins under the artillery fire of the mechanized troops of the land of ghosts.

Countless corpses fell on the ground where the snow was gradually melting.

The hard armored vehicle was also ravaged by the ninja ninjutsu attack, turned into pieces of steel and scattered to all corners of the battlefield.

At this moment, the screeching sound of the missile piercing the atmosphere was still heard in the sky, and then it bombarded the ground with a deafening roar.

The flying ninjas flew through the air like the angels of death, and then spun at an amazing high speed, ravaging the land all the time.

The wind blew up flames and roars, and the dark clouds in the sky showed a bottomless vortex, as if to devour the entire earth.

The ninjas risked death, charging at the enemy in a roar, and then being beaten to a sieve in the hail of bullets, and life suddenly stopped beating.

The road near the fortress was a battle of ninjas, and it collapsed one after another beyond recognition.

Under the control of Ninjutsu Iwagakushi, the potholes quickly formed, cutting the battlefield into hundreds of areas, almost sinking the entire plain.

Ayane rushed to the forefront of the battlefield alone. Around her, apart from Iwagakushi ninjas, she was the only one who belonged to her, and the shadow dancer who lived in the shadows. Besides, there is no so-called assistance by her side.

Even so, she did not feel that such behavior was reckless.

After all, in the entire country of ghosts, there are very few ninjas who can keep up with her actions and cooperate with her.

Moreover, the way she interspersed in the battlefield is completely random, doing whatever she wants.

She can be sure that if she carries an elite force into the deepest part of the enemy line at the beginning, then except for herself, the rest of the team will definitely be surrounded by countless enemies, resulting in the death of all members.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to make sure that she is charging alone from the very beginning, so that she can fight without any scruples and completely disrupt the enemy's formation.

Thinking of this, Ayane couldn't help but think of the Uchiha woman with the teapot lid. If it was her, it would be much more convenient and quicker to harvest cannon fodder on the battlefield than herself.

An association developed in her heart, but in reality, Ayane's skills did not hesitate because of this, and she was as light as ever.

Her task is to disrupt the formation of the Iwagakushi ninjas and bring their morale down on the battlefield.

The task of killing enemies along the way is mainly left to the shadow dancer.

Shadow Dancer's Shadow Blade, which can't be defended by ordinary ninjutsu, plus her speed, is like a duck to water on the battlefield. Every time she passes a place, she will leave a body on the ground.

As a result, the Yanyin team, which was targeted by Ayane, bloomed tirelessly on the battlefield like **** lotus flowers, beautiful and enchanting.

"Dust Escape, the original world—"

Onogi, the third Tsuchikage in the sky, was about to perform his special skill, aiming at Ayane's back for a sneak attack.

A sharp wind blade came.

Onomu flew away without thinking, avoiding the attack of the wind blade.

A girl in a red and white witch costume appeared on the opposite side of Onogi, suspending in the air in the same levitating posture, with her hands open, wisps of breeze gathered in her palms, forming a dexterous small tornado, staring blankly at her. Onogi.

"hateful!"

Ohnogi felt an incomparable headache for this flying witch in a witch costume.

Because this flying witch who belongs to the enemy camp does nothing on the battlefield, just staring at him alone.

Especially when he casts the dust escape, he always releases the wind blade just right, interrupting his movements.

If he was twenty years younger... Ohnogi felt the sorrow of being an old man.

He was older than the three generations of Hokage who had already died in Konoha. He was seventy-six years old, an age that should have been retired.

If you were yourself twenty years ago, you wouldn't be so slow to cast Chen Dun.

With the increase of age, his physical strength and reflexes began to decline, and even the field of dust escape became cracked.

Although Ohnogi was confident in defeating this flying witch, the opponent did not fight him head-on at all. He used his own advantages to keep a distance from him, and immediately released the wind blade in an unmarked way to interrupt his attack from a distance.

This made Ohnogi feel helpless.

This also led to his idea of ​​attacking the rear of the country of ghosts, which could not be effectively implemented.

In addition to destroying those heavy-looking armored vehicles, if it is implemented on specific ninjas, things will become extremely cumbersome.

"Lord Tuying, there is news from Konoha!"

There was a rapid sound from the radio hanging in his ear.

"Say!"

Onogi didn't know why, but a bad premonition was born in his heart.

"The 2,000 support troops that Konoha dispatched from the Kingdom of Bears were suddenly blocked by Uchiha Ruri, 40% of the ninjas died on the spot, and the rest fled! Please stop our offensive immediately, and evacuate from the country of ghosts as soon as possible to reduce losses!"

"!?"

Uchiha Ruri! ?

Onomu's face was numb with shock and was overwhelmed.

Wasn't she stationed in the western waters of the country of ghosts and held back by Kiriyin's main force?

How could it be possible to appear on the battlefield of the country of bears and block the support troops of Konoha?

Just when he was stunned, black dots appeared at the end of the distant wilderness.

With the roar of rolling steel, hundreds of brand-new armored vehicles smashed the ground ahead and pulled forward.

Following this black steel torrent are the heavily armed ninja troops.

Leading the charge were more than a dozen Junin wearing chakra armor, galloping in front at a faster speed, opening the way for the steel troops behind.

Seeing this sudden steel torrent, Onogi's pupils widened, he realized something in an instant, and his body trembled fiercely.

"Misty--!?"

At this time, it is too late to retreat. The Iwagakushi ninjas here are already at war with the ninjas in the land of ghosts. When retreating at this time, the thousands of Iwoninja gathered here will definitely be caught up, causing most of the casualties.

But stay and fight... Onogi's hands and feet start to get cold.

Yakura, you bastard! ! !

In Konoha's conference room, there was a silence.

Whether it was Tsunade, advisors, or Hizu who had just joined the core power circle, they were all shocked by the battle report from the front.

The 2,000 ninja troops used to support Jiraiya encountered Uchiha Ruri in the land of birds, and most of them were killed and injured.

Iwayin invested 5,000 ninjas on the frontal battlefield in the eastern part of the country of ghosts, led by the third generation of Tukage Onoki himself. It was a confident siege, but in the end, due to the sudden emergence of support from the country of ghosts, Iwayin was also there. The frontal battlefield was quickly defeated and fled back to the land of the land.

Of the 5,000 ninjas that went in, more than 3,000 died, and finally, under the protection of Onogi, they returned to the Land of Earth with less than 2,000 remnants.

However, the matter was not over yet. He defeated Ayane Hyuga, who was the main force of Iwagin, leaving behind the large army of the country of ghosts. He marched towards the country of soil alone. In less than an hour, he defeated the border troops of the country of soil. , the western border of the land of the land fell into chaos.

In addition, Hyuga Ayane continued to go deep into the hinterland of the land of the land by herself, and the reconnaissance team of Iwagak could not track her whereabouts. When she found out, Ayane Hyuga had already appeared in the northern area of ​​the land of the land, and raided the country stationed in the land of the land. Frontier ninja forces in the north.

The other party seemed to regard the land of the land as the back garden of his own home. He was elusive in the land of the land, which made Yanyin and the famous mansion of the land of land panic.

Is it an adventure or a luxury to put a five-shadow-level ninja directly into the enemy's base camp alone? But no matter what kind it is, it means that the enemy of the country of ghosts is beyond imagination.

The good news is that everyone's understanding of the country of ghosts is no longer limited to the tip of the iceberg. The iceberg of the land of ghosts, which was mostly submerged under the sea, finally surfaced.

The bad news is that the sacrifices that the villages have made for this are simply too great.

Especially Konoha and Yanyin.

Since the beginning of the war, the accumulated losses of the two villages alone have exceeded 7,000 ninjas.

Although the country of ghosts has also paid the price for this, the number of casualties on the other side will definitely not be as tragic as Konoha and Iwakaku, and it is within the acceptable range.

"I didn't expect that Wuyin would falsely pass on information to his comrades for the sake of so-called face, causing us Konoha and Iwayin to suffer heavy losses. We must unite in this matter and let Wuyin give an explanation!"

Mito Menyan tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, but from his decisive tone, he could still hear his full of anger, which was burning fiercely.

Originally, they were very excited and encouraged when they learned about the heroic achievements of Mirigin in the western waters of the country of ghosts, such as defeating the vanguard troops of the country of ghosts, the four generations of Mizukage showing great power, and successfully containing Uchiha Ruri, and other major rumors. Yes, even the enthusiasm for combat has become extremely high.

But it turned out that the Wuyin reconnaissance unit and the third vanguard unit were completely wiped out without any news.

Even Kirikin didn't know if it was Uchiha Ruri who was stationed in the western waters of the country of ghosts, so he directly fabricated the battle report of the four generations of Mizukage and the battle, and reported it to his comrades in the Alliance Army, and informed the western battlefield that everything went well. The Allied forces only need to attack with peace of mind. But their own side made a stance of feigning an attack, standing still and watching from the sidelines.

This made the high-ranking Allied Forces who questioned and learned the truth after the incident were so angry that they almost vomited three liters of blood.

This is also the root cause of Konoha and Iwakaku's defeat in the battle.

A main force originally used by the country of ghosts to guard against Kiriyin, when they learned that Kirikin did not intend to attack the western waters of the country of ghosts, they successfully moved from the west. Yin was caught off guard, causing Yan Yin to kill more than 3,000 people on the frontal battlefield.

Uchiha Ruri appeared in the land of birds and successfully blocked Konoha's support troops, making the situation facing the Jiraiya troops even worse.

All the battle reports are developing in an unfavorable direction for the Alliance Army.

"It's important to hold Kiriyake accountable, but the most urgent task is how to rescue Jiraiya and the Konoha ninja stationed there from the territory of the country of bears."

Tsunade was also angry at Kirigakushi's actions of falsely spreading information, but she understood that even blaming Kirigage in the present would not change the fact that the front line was defeated.

Although Iwagak suffered heavy losses, their main personnel and troops were safely evacuated from the battlefield.

However, Konoha not only suffered the loss of personnel, but also a force of three or four thousand people was confined in the eastern part of the kingdom of bears by the kingdom of ghosts, unable to advance or retreat.

Attacking, the country of ghosts has already deployed its troops around, and has an advantage in vision and intelligence. A frontal attack will only make the Konoha troops there fail faster.

And retreat... The country of ghosts has also made arrangements. If you want to break through, the final result will only be the annihilation of the entire army.

This is exactly what is so scary about the country of ghosts. They plan to encircle Jiraiya's troops, use them as bait, constantly lure Konoha to support, and then intercept Konoha's support troops halfway, consuming Konoha's vital strength as much as possible.

"There are nearly 1,000 wounded in Jiraiya's troops, and hundreds of them are seriously injured. Before they are cured, it is difficult to transfer them. They can only be treated on the spot... It is impossible to evacuate them all."

Turning to bed, Xiaochun told an extremely cruel truth.

This is exactly the point of drag.

If more than 3,000 ninjas want to evacuate the country of bears, although it is still difficult, it is not impossible.

But among these 3,000 people, more than 1,000 were wounded, and the battle to break through the siege would become extremely difficult.

Unless the more than 1,000 wounded are directly abandoned, it is not realistic to want to evacuate all of them.

"Not only that, but because of the untrustworthiness of Kiriyin, there is a crisis of confidence within the Alliance Army, and at the same time, the difficulty of our Konoha's support to the front line has increased exponentially."

Mitomon sighed.

Turning to bed, Xiaochun is also frowning. What he thought was a good situation, after the crisis of trust in Wuyin, now seems to be just self-deception.

For a long time, the two advisors turned their attention to Tsunade, hoping that as Naruto's Tsunade, he could come up with an idea.

Tsunade sighed at the inquiries in the eyes of the two advisors.

"...From the very beginning, I have not advocated war with the country of ghosts. The goals and demands of each country are completely different, and if the goals cannot be unified, once there is a crisis of confidence, it is not far from disintegration. Kirigakura is just a guide. Fusuo, the real reason for the failure is that it is difficult for the alliance army to truly unite, and that we do not have a correct understanding of the military strength and organizational strength of the country of ghosts, and the penetration of the big country Ninja Village."

In Tsunade's opinion, it is a very risky act to fight against an enemy who knows nothing.

The only advantage of the Confederate army is the number of people.

However, a large number of people can sometimes be a disadvantage, because these forces cannot be unified and cannot be united. Every village in each country has its own strategic purpose. Although under the banner of the Alliance Army, the ninjas in each village have never been united. fighting.

This is because once the ninjas merge and have not yet fought against the country of ghosts, their own people may start a civil war first because of their past grievances.

Although she expected that sooner or later, due to the opacity of intelligence, various estrangements and disputes would arise within the Alliance Army, but she did not expect that such a crisis would come so soon.

Thinking of Yakura's first meeting, saying that he wanted to make the country of Oni, which interferes in the internal affairs of the water, look good, and then thinking of Kirigakure's behavior of falsely spreading information for the sake of face, Tsunade was speechless for a while. .

Even with the entire fog hidden, Tsunade felt unable to look directly.

"At this point, it's too late to ask who to blame. Let's find a way to solve the current difficulties."

Mitomon Yan said.

"Wait and see."

Tsunade thought for a moment and said this.

"Wait?"

"The actions of the country of ghosts are a bit weird. Judging from their series of layouts, it seems that we have long known that our four ninja villages will form an alliance, so we set up such a situation in advance. As the fuse of the crisis of confidence, I am afraid It's not accidental. Because Uchiha Ruri, and the main force defending the western waters of the country of ghosts, the speed of support is incredible, as if they had been rehearsed in advance."

"what do you mean……"

The faces of Mitomen Yan and Chuan Koharu were startled, and they seemed to realize that something was not right.

Thinking about it carefully, the series of deployments in the country of ghosts were outrageous from the very beginning, and each time they could predict the enemy's aircraft first and make the most correct judgment.

"The extent of the infiltration of Kiriyin is probably not just as simple as a few Joinin, among them, there may be elders living in high-level positions. Yagura used to be a coup d'etat. questioned its orthodoxy.”

"Isn't it possible? To collude with foreign enemies because of such a thing?"

Mito Menyan and Koharu couldn't believe it.

"Nothing is impossible. After Orochimaru defected to Konoha, didn't that guy in Danzo also work closely with him? I think the two of you must have heard about this."

Tsunade sneered.

This kind of information can be found after a little investigation, but the content of the transaction between the two parties cannot be determined.

Obviously, the senior management of the village will not disclose this kind of information, and will only warn Danzo of what Danzo is doing behind the scenes.

The two advisors looked at each other and remained silent.

"From now on, I will let people pay close attention to the actions of the Kingdom of Ghosts, otherwise I will take someone to support them, and just send them to death again. You can't act rashly until you don't know the real purpose of the Kingdom of Ghosts."

"The matter of the Union Army..."

It seems that Mito Menyan and Koharu are still unwilling to do so.

Tsunade stopped by the window and did not respond to the consultant's question. Her non-response had already explained her attitude.

"Big Brother Scorpion, do you still have Bingbing Pills and water?"

Deidara felt his head dizzy and his face became thin.

The burns on both hands continued to worsen despite being bandaged by the scorpion.

Especially in the case of lack of water and food, the feeling of weakness in the body is getting worse day by day.

Although as a ninja, you can do things that ordinary people can't do, but after all, you are still flesh and blood, and you need water and food as the energy of life.

In the dark cave, Deidara leaned against the wall and began to moan weakly.

"No, not anymore."

Scorpion shook the kettle, the water in it had been drank, and answered indifferently.

There were no military ration pills in the ninja bag, and they were all eaten.

The time to the limit is faster than expected.

Because it is not only Deidara who needs water and food, but also the one-tailed human pillar force, Gaara, who is placed here, also needs to consume water and food.

In order to ensure that Ren Zhuli survives before taking out the tailed beast, it is a matter of course to divide half of the water and food.

Scorpion's energy remains absolutely abundant. As a half-human half-doll, his body is not as inconvenient as humans, and he needs water and food to survive.

"Really, I didn't expect that as an artist, one day I would be forced by practical reasons... um."

Deidara made a very cold joke.

But this joke, neither himself nor the scorpion, did not laugh.

"After all, the human body is very inconvenient. Do you want me to turn you into a puppet? If you are lucky, you may be able to retain your consciousness as a human and your secret art."

Scorpion came over and asked in the form of a red-haired boy.

"Forget it, I'm still very satisfied with my current body. The doll will neither hurt nor cry, Brother Scorpion, don't you find this posture boring? Um."

Deidara asked curiously.

"Human's physiology and psychology are too fragile, and they are easily entangled by common things such as love, family, and friendship. I want to become an existence beyond human beings and abandon all human weaknesses. In this eternal life, I don't have to wait. Others, and also don’t make others wait.”

"If that's the case, eternal life, it's too lonely."

"..."

For this question, Scorpion did not answer ~www.readwn.com~ but said:

"You're talking a little too much today, Deidara."

"Because I'm reaching my limit, and so is this person, Zhuli. Hmm."

Deidara glanced at Gaara, who was in a coma.

"..."

Scorpion stared at Deidara with emotionless pupils, and continued to ask the same question as before:

"So...what's your answer? Are you going to be my puppet?"

"If I don't agree, will Brother Scorpion do something to me?"

Deidara asked with a smile.

As the rebels of the village, in the eyes of others, people like them have long since died.

Moreover, Deidara is also ready to die at any time.

Although it is a pity that his art has not been publicized to the whole world, so that more people can appreciate his art, but the cruel reality at the moment makes him have to wake up - he is exhausted.

With a burdensome scorpion like him, he absolutely cannot escape Sand Yin's pursuit.

The scorpion didn't respond, and there was no slight fluctuation in his eyes, as if the person in front of him, to him, was just an ordinary passer-by in eternal life.

It is no different from the flowers, grass and gravel by the roadside.

From the moment he became a puppet, he decided to give up all human weaknesses.

"Aren't you going to do it? If that's the case, let's get out of here with Ren Zhuli, and I'll help you break it off. It seems that the name of the artist can only be inherited by you, Brother Scorpion."

After speaking, Deidara struggled to stand up from the ground, panting violently, and then forced a smile from her dirty face.

"It seems like a good art to have one of the five shadows buried with me. Hmm."
