I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Although he survived, the loss of his right arm and the blood loss still left Aburame Ryoma pale and panting heavily.

Looking at Yecang opposite him, and the scorching fireball that was attacking again.

Beneath the mask, Ryoma Aburame wore a bitter smile.

"Even if it means death, I will carry out my master's orders!"

With a resolute heart, Aburame Ryoma not only unleashed all his parasitic insects to frantically envelop the fireball and thus hinder Yotaka's attack, but also charged straight at Yotaka with a ferocious gait.

"Something's wrong!"

Yekura was definitely a veteran of countless battles, and even when she had the upper hand in the fight, she never let her guard down.

Seeing Aburame Ryoma charging towards him, Yekura immediately sensed something was wrong.

She was very alert and did not meet the other person's gaze; instead, she decisively stepped back.

"hateful!"

Seeing that Yekura did not engage him but instead retreated rapidly, Aburame Ryoma was filled with shock and anger, knowing that he could only close the distance to this extent.

"The Four Elephants Seal!"

With no other hope and only a desperate gamble left, Aburame Ryoma immediately began to eerily spew out large amounts of blood from his entire body.

The blood sprayed far and wide, then gathered on the sand in patterns resembling the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), until it swelled into a huge black sphere.

hum!

When the black sphere expanded to its limit, it instantly contracted back, creating a huge, bowl-shaped crater in the sand, inside which only the corpse of Aburame Ryoma remained.

Despite Ryoma Aburame's best efforts, the black sphere he formed ultimately failed to reach Yekura, who had retreated in time.

Chapter 122 Increased War Intensity

"There was definitely something wrong. This Aburame clan member actually possesses such a powerful sealing technique. If I hadn't retreated in time, I would have been in danger."

The black sphere disappeared, and Yekura, who had stopped, cautiously stepped forward to the edge of the huge pit.

Looking down at the corpse in the pit, Yekura's eyes showed a solemn expression.

Konoha is indeed the strongest of the five great ninja villages. This strength lies not only in the large number of skilled ninjas, but also in the depth of its foundation.

Sealing techniques like the "Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique" are completely absent from the Sand Village.

Even in sealing the tailed beasts, Sunagakure was the worst.

no way.

Sunagakure did not participate in the war that destroyed the Land of Whirlpools, which prevented it from completing the inheritance of sealing techniques like Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure.

"Lord Kazekage, these people seem to have been marked with some kind of curse, and we are unable to extract any information from them."

After the battle ended, as Yekura released Death Scorpion's summoning, the other Sand Shinobi brought several captured Root members to report.

Yecang glanced at the Root members: "Take them back and let the analysis team see if they can read the memories."

"Yes!" The Sand Ninja respectfully accepted the order and then followed Yekura back to Sunagakure.

Under the restriction of the "Seal of the Extinction of the Tongue," even if one forcibly reads memories, no information can be obtained. Instead, it will trigger the curse seal and actively damage the brain.

Therefore, even after returning to the village and having the analysis team take action, Yekura ultimately failed to obtain any information about the Root organization.

But this is only the root tissue, not the whole of Konoha.

The parasitic insects that Aburame Ryoma possesses are enough to prove his origins.

Bang!

"Konoha is getting more and more arrogant!"

Sitting at his desk, Ebizo slammed his hand on the table with an angry expression.

Although no specific information was obtained through interrogation, it is not difficult to see from the enemy's actions of controlling the caravan that the enemy wanted to use the caravan to infiltrate Sunagakure.

Furthermore, the fact that the enemy was clearly a group of assassins further convinced Ebizo that they were likely planning an assassination.

To assassinate oneself, or to assassinate Yecang.

Regardless of who was being assassinated, Konoha's actions were undoubtedly a provocation against Sunagakure, and could even be described as a contemptuous attitude.

"I'm ready to head to the front lines immediately!" Ye Cang, sitting behind his desk with his arms crossed, suddenly announced.

Ebizo looked at the other person in surprise, but after thinking for a moment, he quickly nodded and said, "That's fine too. I was originally thinking of waiting until the village was more stable before you went to the battlefield, but now it seems necessary to send you to the battlefield to take charge ahead of time."

The decision for Yekura to go to the front lines had already been reached by both Yekura herself and Chiyo and Ebizo.

Just like Rasa back then, Yekura wanted to use war to solidify her authority as Kazekage.

Chiyo and Ebizo, on the other hand, wanted to divert attention from the internal conflicts within the village through war.

Not to mention the fertile Land of Fire, which has always been a tempting target for Sunagakure.

"By the way, what did that guy from Hoshigakure say? Is he willing to help us fight against Konoha?" After expressing his support for Pakura's trip to the front lines, Ebizo asked this question seemingly casually.

Ye Cang glanced at the other party and said indifferently, "Of course, after all, we are allies now."

"That's good, that's good!"

Upon hearing this, Ebizo breathed a sigh of relief.

The alliance between Sunagakure and Hoshigakure was forcibly pushed forward by Pakura under the orders of the Kazekage.

At the time, Chiyo and Ebizo actually harbored resentment.

After all, the Land of Wind and the Land of Bears are neighbors, and neither of them wanted to see the Star Village develop into a second Rain Village.

However, it now appears that this alliance was not entirely a bad thing.

Although the military strength of the Star Village has never been fully revealed, it is only one person, Naraku. If he were to provide them with support, it would be equivalent to a thousand troops.

Like Danzo, Pakura acted swiftly.

After deciding to reinforce the front-line battlefield, Yecang led the assembled troops to the battlefield the following day.

At this time, Danzo had already learned of the deaths of Aburame Ryoma and the others through the "Seal of the Extinction of the Tongue".

The assassination attempt failed, leaving him unwilling to accept defeat, so he could only focus his efforts on winning the war on the battlefield.

Both sides have increased their troop deployments.

When the reinforcements led by Yekura arrived at the battlefield, the intensity of the war between Sunagakure and Konoha immediately escalated again, erupting into even fiercer fighting.

The Sand Village and Konoha are escalating the intensity of their war.

This shift appears to have triggered a chain reaction.

Just a few days later, the Hidden Cloud Village suddenly reinforced its troops on the battlefield of the Land of Hot Springs, under the command of the AB combination, which also increased the intensity of the war with Konoha.

The successive reinforcements from Sunagakure effectively neutralized the war pressure that had eased due to the ceasefire between Konoha and Iwagakure.

The sudden reinforcement of troops in Kumogakure was not coordinated by Naraku, but was an independent action by the Third Raikage.

When they cooperated with Naraku, Kumogakure got 50% of the profits and made a killing.

But this clearly did not satisfy the Third Raikage; instead, it fueled his even greater ambitions.

This reinforcement is for the battlefield of the Land of Hot Springs.

The Third Raikage's motivation wasn't just to repay Konoha for helping Iwagakure ambush him; it was also to take another bite out of the fertile Land of Fire.

Sunagakure Village is led by Yokura and Chiyo.

The Hidden Cloud Village is led by the AB group.

The intensified, coordinated offensive by both sides undoubtedly enraged Danzo.

However, while Danzo was mobilizing more Konoha troops to cope with the escalating war, there was one group of people within Konoha who were never deployed to the battlefield by Danzo.

"Uchiha Fugaku, what brings you here?"

Emerging from the secret room and arriving in the living room, Tsunade looked at the figures already waiting there, casually sat down on the sofa, and asked...

Of course, she did ask, but Tsunade had already guessed the other party's intentions.

"Lady Tsunade, I am here on behalf of the Uchiha clan to earnestly request that you speak to the Hokage on our behalf and allow us to participate in the war," said Fugaku Uchiha politely.

As they were talking, Fugaku Uchiha noticed that there were specks of blood on Tsunade's hands.

He didn't think much about it.

After all, the other party's medical ninjutsu is unparalleled in the ninja world. They might have just been researching some kind of medical ninjutsu and accidentally gotten their blood on them.

Tsunade was equally perceptive; she noticed that Fugaku Uchiha had noticed the bloodstains on her hands, and casually pulled out a tissue to wipe them clean.

Tsunade's eyes remained completely unmoved as she wiped the blood from her hands.

“I understand what you mean, but unfortunately, Danzo is the Hokage. He won’t listen to me, especially since it involves your clan.” Tsunade wiped away the blood and looked up at Fugaku Uchiha.

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha's heart sank.

Does this mean their clan is truly going to be crushed to the bottom, losing even the right to enter the battlefield?

Thinking of this, Fugaku Uchiha felt a pang of melancholy and began to miss the days when Hiruzen Sarutobi was in power.

Back then, although Hiruzen Sarutobi suppressed their clan in some overt and covert ways, he still had some restraint, at least not as blatantly as he is now.
