Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

These corpses, controlled by Zhu Yin, attacked frantically, unafraid of death.

The Jonin from Iwagakure can easily deal with these.

But on the battlefield, it's impossible for everyone to be a Jonin.

Most of the Chunin and Genin were caught off guard and overwhelmed by this relentless attack.

Once killed, they will be enveloped in dark red chakra and transformed into new soldiers.

The deer were not here.

Otherwise, one would have to say something like "the Scourge of the Undead"!

Seeing that the morale of his troops was crumbling, Huang Tu knew that things could not continue like this, and roared loudly, "Everyone, retreat!"

He leaped in front of everyone, his hands quickly forming hand seals.

"Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!"

Two enormous hemispheres rose up on either side, enveloping all the corpses on the battlefield and quickly merging together.

Zhu Yin was also standing among them.

Mimura Yoru immediately shouted, "Lord Akane, retreat! Everyone, retreat immediately!"

Zhu Yin's expression remained unchanged, and the originally noisy battlefield instantly became quiet, with everything around her still.

Time has been stopped!

In just one second, time resumed its flow.

Huang Tu had already been pulled in front of Zhu Yin, and with the superhuman strength she learned from Tsunade, combined with the power of the demon, she slammed Huang Tu hard into the abdomen.

Huang Tu had no idea what was happening; he only saw the fist coming at him.

Before I could think, my body was instantly covered by rocks.

However, it was all too hasty. Zhu Yin pierced through the rock instantly, sending him flying backward and crashing to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth.

"Ahem! What just happened? Why did I suddenly appear in that spot?!"

The loess soil was deeply shaken.

When the Iwa ninja saw that Huang Tu was being attacked, they quickly surrounded him and protected him in the middle.

Zhu Yin was also feeling unwell at that moment.

The power of time is a power she gained after falling into a deep sleep.

The consumption was too great. Even pausing for just one second consumed a huge amount of energy, causing the manipulated corpses to stop.

Zhu Yin and Huang Tu stared at each other.

An eerie silence fell between the two.

The demonic power emanating from Zhu Yin surged once more, and Huang Tu immediately ordered, "Retreat!"

The Iwa ninja left quickly.

Zhu Yin breathed a sigh of relief. She had only meant to scare them, but she hadn't expected it to actually work.

The dark red chakra disappeared, the corpse lay down again, Zhu Yin took a few breaths, and turned to walk towards the camp.

The surrounding Konoha ninja reacted and roared in anger.

"We won! We won!"

"Long live Lady Zhu Yin!"

After this battle, Zhu Yin's status rose sharply.

The battle report was quickly delivered to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

When he saw Tsunade appear, Hiruzen Sarutobi truly breathed a sigh of relief.

Tsunade is too important, especially in dealing with Sunagakure and the Land of Rain. Both places use poison, and without Tsunade, they are at a disadvantage.

Another person that caught Hiruzen Sarutobi's attention was Akane.

I didn't expect Zhu Yin to be so strong.

Moreover, he was willing to help Konoha. Hiruzen Sarutobi kept thinking about whether he could get Akane under his control. If he could, then the pressure on Konoha would be reduced.

"Owl!"

"Hokage-sama!"

"Send someone to inform Tsunade to switch places with Jiraiya. Tsunade will go to lead the Senju clan and resolve Chiyo's poison, while Jiraiya will take a group of people to support Mimura Yoru. The priority there is stability; do not launch an offensive!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately gave the order.

Jiraiya was quite strong, but he was powerless against Chiyo's poison.

"yes!"

Three more months passed, and the war continued.

With Tsunade's return, the situation in Konoha has completely stabilized.

With Tsunade in charge of the Sand Village battlefield, Chiyo's poison was no longer a concern, especially given the formidable strength of the Senju clan.

The battlefield in Sunagakure has been completely stabilized.

However, Sunagakure is no ordinary place.

Among the older generation of powerful figures are Chiyo, and among the younger generation are Scorching Release: Yotsugumi and Magnet Release: Rasa.

Both of them made a name for themselves.

Tsunade could only passively defend.

After Jiraiya left, the battlefield in Iwagakure mainly focused on harassment, with most of the troops stockpiled in the Land of Lightning, as if they were preparing for a major operation.

However, having learned his lesson from last time, Jiraiya dared not let his guard down.

The pressure on the Hidden Mist Battlefield has lessened considerably since Sakumo Hatake joined.

The Uchiha and Hyuga clans were already quite powerful, and now, with their combined strength, their progress is the smoothest among all the battlefields.

On the battlefield of Kumogakure, Orochimaru was thoroughly annoyed.

That idiot Danzo's heart wasn't in the battlefield at all; he was always trying to discuss Wood Release with Orochimaru.

Even though Orochimaru explicitly refused, Danzo persisted.

Orochimaru immediately accepted a mission to investigate the situation in Kumogakure and left the camp.

Overall, Konoha has completely stabilized.

Next, as long as we are careful of the threat of the tailed beasts, it will be a protracted battle.

It's all about having a strong foundation and logistical reserves!

Inside Iwagakure Village.

Sitting next to Onoki were all high-ranking members of the Iwagakure ninja.

"It's been almost half a year since the start of the Third Shinobi World War. In this half a year, neither Nara Shikatoki nor Namikaze Minato have appeared. What do you think?" Onoki asked calmly.

Higashi immediately said, "Lord Tsuchikage, according to our intelligence, both of them seem to have disappeared. Although the Senju clan and Konoha have covered it up very well, some information has still leaked out."

"Lord Tsuchikage, we should seize this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Konoha!" Oishi immediately suggested.

Ōnoki didn't speak but looked at Yotsuchi. "Yotsuchi, what did they say from the Land of Demons?"

Huang Tu always felt lingering fear whenever he thought of Zhu Yin's strange methods. "The Miroku priestess said she would support Zhu Yin. As long as Zhu Yin gave the order, the Demon Kingdom would support her with all its might. However, Zhu Yin only made a move that one time and has stayed in Konoha ever since."

Onoki felt a headache coming on when he heard this.

Zhu Yin's status was really too troublesome, but fortunately, Zhu Yin did not make any further moves afterward.

"You guys are saying that the disappearances of Minato Namikaze and Shika Nara are related to the disappearance of the Third Kazekage?" Kari from the Explosives Squad suddenly brought up an interesting point.

The loess was the first to disbelieve it.

"Impossible. You said the Third Kazekage disappeared and died? I believe that. Both Minato Namikaze and Shikatoki Nara knew space-time ninjutsu, how could they have died?"

"Besides, didn't you all see Nara Shikatoki end up with a Scorch Release attack during the Chunin Exams? With his regenerative abilities, who could kill him? I just don't believe it!"

Oishi immediately retorted, "If nothing had happened, wouldn't these two have stepped in to handle something this big? I don't need to elaborate on how active they were in the Second Shinobi World War!"

"Exactly! I agree with Daishi. Those two might be dead in some remote corner!"

"impossible!"

They were about to start arguing.

Onoki coughed, and the meeting room fell silent again. "Alright, whether these two people live or die is none of our business. We can do the opposite!"

A glint of light flashed in Onoki's eyes.

"Lord Tsuchikage, do you have any plans?" Kari asked curiously.

"Attack on Konoha would be a thankless task. Even without Minato Namikaze and Shika Nara, Konoha still has the Sannin and Hiruzen Sarutobi. Even if we manage to take a bite out of them, we'll have to spit it out once those two return."

"So, we'll attack those barbarians in Kumogakure! Such a huge temptation, Kumogakure can't resist!"

Onoki spoke in a flat tone.

He knew very well that, despite the fact that the Third Raikage's son, A, and Nara Shikatoki were good brothers during the Chunin Exams.

There are no permanent friends in this world, only permanent interests.

Not to mention, Nara Shikatoki killed quite a few Kumogakure members in the Uzumaki clan incident!

Given the Third Raikage's personality, he certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass, and what he had to do was kill the Third Raikage of Kumogakure.

This so-called strongest shield and strongest spear were completely buried in history.

"Konoha is primarily on the defensive. If they don't launch an attack, we'll remain still and speed up the ninja's assembly!"

"yes!"

It can only be said that the person who understands you best is not your family, but your enemy.

Just as Ohnoki had predicted.

After a six-month period of probing, with neither Minato nor Shikatoki showing up, the Third Raikage could no longer contain himself.

Konoha Village has always been the wealthiest place in the entire ninja world.

The location is also very fertile.

Who wouldn't want to take a bite of this?

"Notify Brubi, the Trojan raid plan has officially begun!" The Third Raikage's words carried a hint of anticipation.

this time!

Kumogakure will surely become the number one ninja village in the ninja world!
