As a member of the Hokage, one dares not be a loyal subject of Konoha

Chapter 89 Fleeting Moments, the Giant Collapses in Pain.

Ok.

This wasn't just a matter of being chewed by a dog anymore; just thinking about how that woman named Hinata Kura had ordered her to warm the bed a few days ago made Yugito's face involuntarily turn red.

What's even more terrifying is that the creature inside her seems to really enjoy this state. It's even learned to act cute on its own initiative now.

Given her current mindset, she probably figured she couldn't resist, so she might as well enjoy it. She herself knew that she wasn't far from falling for him.

The problem is that Samui has now also been arrested.

This bastard seems to have some kind of twisted sense of humor, insisting that Samui see him like this.

As Matatabi "controlled" Yugito's body and kissed Hinata Himaru on the cheek, Yugito saw Samui's expression become even more unpleasant.

"Do you think the Raikage believes in your loyalty?"

She knew it would be like this!

Even if she manages to escape back to the village in this state, she will likely lose their trust, and the Jinchūriki will inevitably be replaced. At that point, she will surely die.

Thinking of this, Yugito collapsed into Hinata Himejiro's arms like a coward.

This was definitely not her own choice, but she felt that this was all the fault of that scoundrel of a man, and he had to take responsibility.

Just then, Samui arrived. Perhaps he could persuade his best friend to help him share the burden of the pain.

Let's all just wallow in depravity!

It would be best to add a linen outfit to complete the three sisters' set!

The transformation of the wooden figure was visible to the naked eye. Hinata Hisei chuckled as he petted the cat, marveling at how terrifying the subtle influence could be.

He believed that if he told Yugito now, he would have already broken the two-tailed beast's control over her. Whether it was feeding her grapes or kissing her, it was just her habitual actions and muscle memory, not something forced upon her. The girl's expression would definitely be quite interesting then, right?

He genuinely enjoyed seeing Yugito's face full of reluctance, yet her body acting obediently.

However, Chief Richeng has always been a kind man. He still hopes that Muren will gradually discover this and then truly open up. Ideally, she would willingly serve him in bed in a fit of anger. Forcing a woman is meaningless, and playing with a warm corpse is not fulfilling. So for now, Yecang will just let her warm the bed.

In addition, it sounds ridiculous that Pakura was actually doing it for Yugito's own good, but as a fellow female ninja, Pakura understood what Yugito would suffer if she were caught up in an enemy village, especially since the two villages were fighting on the battlefield. Plus, she was the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails, with the Tailed Beast sealed inside her, making Shin a perfect target for venting his anger!

Yekura could tell that her man seemed to have some feelings for the kitten, but he wasn't obsessed with her. Once Hinata Himo lost interest, it was easy to imagine what awaited Yugito.

Since that's the case, she might as well play the villain, which would also give Yugito a backer. It's just that Yugito's identity issue might make her hesitant at first, but after a few days, the little cat will probably taste the sweetness of it.

So Yekura recently shifted her focus to getting together with Uzumaki Rena. The Uzumaki clan has a special identity, so it's possible that she had the same idea.

Hyuga Himo naturally understood Yekura's thoughts.

Look, what is a virtuous wife?

Hyuga Kura is simply a perfect example!

To this, Hinata Hijin only has one thing to say: please ask Kurama-chan to step up her efforts, after all, he's not exactly a saint either, and he gets along really well with Kurama-chan~

As for Samui below

Looking at this tall, curvaceous, beautifully shaped girl with delicate features and fair skin, who was even comparable to Tsunade in terms of her ample bosom, Hyuga Hisei gave her a friendly look with considerable admiration. Unfortunately, he only saw disgust in her eyes.

Yes.

Now they are enemies, and there's no need to be merciful to enemies. Yukito is experienced in giving up, so she can tame the kitten and let the kitten brainwash her best friend. That shouldn't be a problem.

With a wave of his hand, the two chieftain's maids led Samui away.

Now is not the time to indulge.

Rather than controlling Samui and engaging in a two-handed ball-handling contest to break through the tight marking, there is something more important to do now.

With a casual gesture, Hyuga Ushima, who was not far away, handed him a kunai.

The next second, witnessed by the kitten with a pounding heart, the shuriken was easily snapped in two by the man's fingers.

However, don't misunderstand, Chief Nichisei didn't use much force; the kunai breaking was entirely due to its own fault.

So

"This is the second batch of supplies sent to the front lines, but because our tribe was the first to take turns guarding the village, these items will be our first batch of weapons when we arrive to provide support."

Ushima no Shinobu said with a serious expression.

"Moreover, after inspection by my subordinates, not only the kunai, but also the shuriken are of questionable quality, especially the explosive tags and ration pills. The explosive tags can occasionally explode, but the ration pills could keep him sluggish all day."

That much force?

Chief Richeng's lips twitched.

"Are those same two consultants handling logistics?"

Ushima no Shinobu nodded slightly.

"Alright, then arrest them. If they dare to resist, beat them, even if they die."

With a speechless wave of his hand, Chief Hijiri realized something. With these two geniuses, it was truly remarkable that Sarutobi was able to withstand the Third Shinobi World War.

"Also, tell the clansmen to be ready to assemble and meet up with the Uchiha at any time."

The friendship between Hyuga Hyuga and his brother Fugaku is well-known. Fugaku even led a team to provide support before, and Hyuga Hyuga values ​​this friendship very much.

Although they had sent clansmen to inform the Uchiha after discovering the supply problem, it was estimated that Hyuga Hiroki would not be able to make it in time.

However, it's not a big problem. Brother Fugaku is very fortunate and will certainly not die easily on the battlefield.

He hasn't yet fulfilled his brother Fugaku's request to have another son!

How could Brother Fugaku possibly bear to die!

Upon receiving the order, Ushima no Shinobu turned and left without looking to the side. As the head of the Hyuga clan, it was only natural for him to play a bit perversely; he dared not look around recklessly.

"How much can we earn this time?"

Konoha, at Mitokado Yan's home.

A thrilling match between the older players had just ended. Mitokado Enoki, with a slightly pale face, stood in stark contrast to Utatane Koharu, whose old face was filled with dissatisfaction. Even with such a relaxed defense, Mitokado Enoki couldn't break through; she was utterly useless.

After all, among the F4, Mitokado Homura was the weakest. Although Sarutobi was short and stocky, he could change size at will, which was very convenient. Danzo even had a cane.

Mitokado Yan is the only one who feels like she's going to die every time she has to deal with Koharu in the next room.

But there was no other way; they were partners who had been through thick and thin together. Whether this business would be profitable or not was thanks to the news brought back by Koharu Tsunemura.

"No less than ten million taels, and this is only the first batch."

When it came to profits, Mitokado Homura's face showed a smug look.

Ordinary people may not have a concept of this number, but as long as they know that Asuma, who later became an elite Jonin, had a bounty of 35 million ryo.

In comparison, ten million taels is quite a lot, especially considering this is only the first income.

Normally, he and Xiaochun would only earn a few million or a few million at a time, never exceeding ten million. This time, however, their business had truly taken off.

"How come there are so many? Did you switch out the first batch of supplies too?"

Koharu frowned, feeling that the number didn't match her expectations. They had been doing this kind of business for years and had long since figured out the pattern. The first batch of supplies was very important and easy to be discovered. They were experienced and wouldn't tamper with them. Mitokado Haru should also understand this principle.

No, not at all.

Mitokado Yan shook his head slightly.

This wasn't the first time he and Koharu Utatane had done something like smuggling war supplies. After all, they had the advantage of their positions, and anyone who dared to point out their mistakes would be suppressed by Sarutobi. Sarutobi himself turned a blind eye to such things, so the two of them had become quite experienced in doing it.

According to Koharu Utatane, Sarutobi is to be the main force in this war, so the Sarutobi clan's resources cannot be moved. However, Homura Mitokado is an ambitious person. According to Koharu Utatane, how much money can he make just by swindling Konoha's twin eyes?

Let's refine it further!

"The real money in our business isn't from the weapons, but from the military rations."

Mitokado Yan said with a profound and inscrutable expression.

"On the battlefield, the pigs of the Akimichi clan consume the most ration pills."

"So I slightly adjusted the ratio of fresh and slightly past-date military rations, and made sure that there were at least two fresh ones in each bottle of military rations. This not only ensures the fighting strength of the Akimichi clan, but also saves more military expenses."

At this point, Mitokado Homura sighed softly:

"I've worried myself sick over Konoha!"

Of course, that's what they say, but the money wasn't saved for Konoha; it ended up in his and Koharu Utatane's pockets!

As for the Akimichi clan's secret techniques?

A hint of disdain flashed in Mitokado Yan's eyes.

Pigs are pigs; showing off all those soldiers and rations is a waste!

He never understood why the group most resembling a pig among the pig-like butterflies could be a butterfly.

However, after his explanation, Koharu Utatane, who only knew that she had made a lot of money, looked at him with admiration, which made Mitokado Homura feel a little uncomfortable.

With nothing else to do and the night still long, a second battle might be inevitable.

But Ushima Shinobu, who kicked open the door, clearly didn't give them that chance.

Feeling that it was a bit too much for his eyes, he ignored the angry roar of the respected elder and took him away with a wave of his hand.

These two are real parasites.

If they were enemies, they would gladly spare their lives so they could continue to wreak havoc on the village.

However, it's clear that Hinata Hijiro's actions this time were not intended to clean house for Konoha.

Although the Hyuga clan stayed behind to guard the rear, they would also go to the battlefield after their rotation. The supplies provided by the village were prepared by these two old bastards.

At that time, the Hyuga clan will probably have to rely on these inferior weapons and expired ration pills.

Anyone who plots against the Hyuga clan is committing suicide the moment they have such an idea!

Hyuga Hiroshi's actions in arresting people were very high-profile. He even had Ushima no Masashi pin them down at the village entrance, forcing them to kneel on the ground facing the village.

It is foreseeable.

When the sun rises the next day and the villagers see this scene, it will surely cause a huge uproar.

However, the uproar in the village was nothing compared to the turmoil on the front lines.

On the battlefield.

Border of the Land of Fire.

Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with excitement!

"Just as I predicted! If we continue the attack, we may very well break through their defenses and completely cripple Kumogakure and Iwagakure!"

The Sarutobi clan, the Shimura clan, and the main force of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, led by the two, had already met the defensive line created by the Earth Release ninjas of Iwagakure, while the Uchiha clan on the other side successfully blocked the reinforcements from Kumogakure.

It can be said that as long as we put in a little more effort, it won't be a problem to completely defeat the Tsuchikage's side before the Uchiha can't hold on. Then we can go and besiege the Raikage, and victory will belong to Konoha!

Sarutobi will regain his stable position because of this war, and Danzo will be able to redeem himself!

Even Onoki, who was inside the defensive line at this moment, did not expect Konoha to be so decisive.

The reason is simple: he had fought against Konoha many times before and had seen through Hiruzen Sarutobi's character. He never expected that this attack would be so bold, a fight to the death without regard for the cost!

This is a completely different style from before. Gone is that hesitant spirit. Konoha is indeed a tough opponent.

"This Third Hokage does possess some of the charisma of his teacher, Tobirama Senju."

Inside the base, Onoki, who was organizing his subordinates to reinforce the defenses, had a slightly grim expression. He thought of the iron-blooded Hokage of Konoha and felt somewhat worried.

The Land of Earth's support troops haven't arrived yet, and it seems he really can't hold out for that long.

Seeing the new offensive coming, Onoki reluctantly considered retreating. The defense line couldn't hold on, and once it was breached, it would be difficult to close it again. If he retreated, the Raikage probably wouldn't be able to hold on either, and the situation of the war would be reversed instantly.

However, he underestimated the Fourth Kazekage. Rasa really didn't get involved in this war.

Well, it's also possible that he's gotten so caught up in fighting Shukaku lately that he hasn't paid attention to anything else.

"The defenses can't hold."

As a new offensive was about to begin, and the head of the Akimichi clan appeared at the forefront, Onoki's expression changed slightly.

Ultimately, the village of Iwagakure lacks a strong core force and has no bloodline races. Apart from his Dust Release, he only has two Jinchuriki to rely on.

But Lao Zi and Han are still with the support troops, and even if he gives it his all, he can't hold out for long.

Dust Release is very powerful, but it consumes a lot of chakra each time it's used. If you also strain your back...

With this in mind, even though he was unwilling, Onoki knew that retreat was the best option.

With a slight sigh, he gazed ahead with resentment and slowly spoke.

"Hmm? Wait a minute!"

Just as he was about to give the order, Tsuchikage suddenly paused, quickly picked up his binoculars, and then focused intently on looking over.

It seems there's something wrong in Konoha!

Within his limited perspective, Onoki discovered something strange.

He watched as Akimichi Choza gulped down a bottle of soldier pills to replenish his strength, then used the Multiply Technique to transform into a giant, intending to crush Iwagakure's defenses in one fell swoop.

Onoki has seen this scene countless times recently, but there's not much anyone in Iwagakure who can stop him except him. If he goes up there, he'll be restrained, so it's really not a good situation.

However, Onoki noticed a strange phenomenon. Just as Akimichi Choza was about to succeed, his expression suddenly changed, and he pressed his huge hand firmly against his lower abdomen, then bent over.

Pfft!

boom!

Pfft~

boom!

A strange substance mixed with an unknown gas caused the enlarged version of Akimichi Choza's anus to explode. The Sarutobi clan members who were charging behind him were immediately thrown to the ground. The gas swept across the entire area with the help of the wind, and the Konoha ninjas fell to the ground one by one, convulsing. Some even foamed at the mouth and stopped breathing!

Holy crap?

Onoki was taken aback. To be on the safe side, he looked over again, but when all the Akimichi clan members couldn't help but clutch their stomachs, the whole battlefield became quite comical.

His gaze, by chance, met that of the furious Shimura Danzo. Looking at Danzo's mouth, Onoki, who had a slight understanding of lip reading, slowly opened his mouth and translated Danzo's words.

"Akimichi... Akimichi Choza, are you fucking... um... did you eat... eat shit?"

Indeed, there's probably only one explanation for such a pungent smell!

The situation in war is always changing rapidly.

Onoki is clearly not the kind of person who sees an opportunity but fails to seize it and ends up missing out.

Over the years, the Tsuchikage has proven his abilities with his own methods, and no one in the entire Iwagakure village dares to disagree.

So when he saw the chaos on Konoha's side, he immediately ordered the remaining Iwagakure ninja to break through the defense line, turning defense into offense. He himself also flew out, intending to give it one last shot.

However, judging from the results, Konoha's performance surprised Onoki.

It seemed that apart from the Sarutobi clan, the weapons of these people were all somewhat problematic. For a moment, he thought that the Raikage had used some kind of trick behind his back to cause this situation.

This is a golden opportunity!

The Akimichi clan suddenly suffered a setback. The inferior quality of their weapons and equipment after the new round of attacks made Konoha's offensive extremely weak. Everyone was fighting in a chaotic melee, and the offensive that was originally unbearable was suddenly evenly matched.

Sarutobi and Danzo turned green at the sight. He remembered his other two partners and rushed to his clansmen to check their weapons and equipment.

Good news: No corners were cut.

Bad news: No corners were cut!

Throughout the battlefield, the leaders of various ninja clans gazed intently at their revered Third Hokage, recalling how Hiruzen Sarutobi had pleaded with them to trust him as he embarked on his journey once more before making their desperate gamble.

We treated you with sincerity, and this is how you report us?

What exactly do you want to do, Third Generation?

Is this a ploy to use the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village as weapons to eliminate these loyalists who support the Hokage?

There's nothing we can do. Everyone else's weapons and equipment are terrible, but your Sarutobi clan's are of high quality and quantity. Doesn't that say something?

So this is definitely bad news for the Third Hokage!

To die!

He needs to set an example now if he doesn't want to be overwhelmed by his angry supporters.

At this point in the war, it's no longer about whether we can break through the defenses, but whether we can quell the anger of those people!

There is only one way to quell the anger.

"I'll hold them off with you! Cover the others' retreat!"

With bloodshot eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi issued the most heart-wrenching order.

The only way to minimize the impact of this incident is to have the tribesmen die to show their stance, and then go back and severely punish the logistics personnel!

Having received orders from the Hokage and clan head, the members of the Sarutobi clan had no choice but to bite the bullet and take on the task.

The ultimate storm, spearheaded by Konoha's F4, has officially begun.

At this moment, only Shimura Danzo, who was on the battlefield, was filled with regret and self-reproach.

"All our efforts have been in vain!"

It was indeed a case of all efforts falling short.

Under the wise leadership of the Hokage's advisor and logistics minister, Konoha finally fell before dawn, and their only chance for a great victory slipped away completely.

He lost, this time he lost to his own people!

at the same time.

On the other side of the battlefield.

The Uchiha clan, led by Fugaku, were also engaged in a fierce battle with the Hidden Cloud Village.

The message from Chief Nichijou was indeed delivered, but unfortunately, the Cloud Village's advance was too overwhelming, and there was no chance to wait for the next batch of supplies. The Uchiha leaders also went berserk, and having had their fill of fighting, they couldn't control themselves.

At first, Fugaku didn't take the taijutsu brutes of Kumogakure seriously. After all, if his brothers, Hijiri and Hyuga, could lead the Hyuga clan to hold off Kumogakure, there was no reason why the Uchiha clan couldn't!

The situation was pretty much as Fugaku had imagined. At the beginning of the fight, the Uchiha clan did withstand the pressure. The Raikage, whose injuries had not yet fully healed, could not exert his full strength and could not break through Fugaku's Susanoo at all. At most, he could only knock Fugaku over due to inertia.

When Fugaku felt his eye power was too depleted, he had Shisui take over. The two of them took turns increasing the intensity for the Raikage, leaving him exhausted.

Unfortunately, Killer Bee from the AB duo is still in bed. According to Killer Bee, the injuries from last time not only hurt him, but also the Eight-Tails inside him, and it seems that the Eight-Tails hasn't recovered yet.

The Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion is not so easy to catch. Naruto was able to withstand it with his Rasengan because, on the one hand, Toneri's eye power had decreased at that time, and he could no longer exert the full strength of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion. What he released was just a poor version.

On the other hand, the Nine-Tails inside Naruto is not something the Eight-Tails can compete with, and Killer Bee doesn't have Naruto's abnormal protagonist aura.

Therefore, it's a miracle that Killer Bee survived the battle against Hyuga Hijiro and the cover for the retreat of Kumogakure. He took a direct hit from the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion. He can't be counted on on the front lines at all.

However, the Raikage still did not give up the fight and intended to fight the Uchiha to the death. But he gradually came to acknowledge the fighting strength of the Uchiha clan. No wonder Onoki was so obsessed with the Sharingan. There was a reason for it!

In the first battle, not only him, but many people in Kumogakure were shocked by the Uchiha's crazy fighting style. The way he would even self-destruct to exchange blows with you was very unexpected.

But war is war, and they were well prepared for its cruelty. Today, many of the Cloud Village ninjas were even prepared to perish together with the Uchiha clan.

But as they engaged in close combat, they suddenly realized something was wrong.

The Uchiha were surprisingly ruthless today.

Some got diarrhea mid-fight, some couldn't even swing their weapons, and some had their chakra disordered, releasing fire jutsu that popped out of their butts and killed their teammates.

In short, it's very strange.

Fugaku obviously realized something was wrong, but the battle had already begun, and it was too late.

As the blood-red setting sun rose and fell, the sounds of battle finally ceased.

Ultimately realizing that they couldn't exploit the time difference to directly win the war, Konoha made a difficult decision.

We must retreat!

If they don't retreat now, they'll all die here once the reinforcements from Iwagakure arrive.

Fortunately, because reinforcements had not arrived, Kumogakure and Iwagakure did not have the strength to pursue them, which gave Konoha a breather. Therefore, Hyuga Hijin, upon receiving the news, gave up the idea of ​​going to meet Fugaku and instead prepared a generous gift for the Hokage at the village entrance.

A vital transportation route in the Land of Fire.

The entire army retreated slowly.

On the way back, everyone's expression was extremely somber.

They understood what it meant to fail to completely win the war this time.

A protracted war is about to begin, and the brutality of the war will only escalate, with even more people dying.

This protracted war will severely deplete the village's resources, and the outcome of the war will depend on which side can hold out and collapses.

At the front of the Sarutobi clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura looked bewildered.

They came full of fighting spirit, but returned like stray dogs.

In an effort to appease the enraged ninja clans, the Sarutobi clan suffered devastating losses, losing a third of their fighting force and countless others with minor, serious, or even disabled injuries.

Fugaku's face was ashen as he rubbed his nearly blind eyes, listening to Uchiha Satoshi report the battle losses, his eyes filled with bitterness.

He was not like the Nikko brothers after all; he couldn't defeat the enemy with a single blow. The Uchiha clan paid a heavy price during the retreat, and he was still standing because Shisui blocked a shuriken for him.

Fugaku glanced at the Uchiha boy on the stretcher, clenched his fists, and rage blazed in his eyes.

However, he did not hold back his anger for long.

When the remnants of the defeated army returned to the village entrance, everyone saw the ragged, hideous man and woman kneeling on the ground.

The clan chief, Richeng, who was guarding the family home, remained as elegant as ever.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he walked step by step to Sarutobi and handed him a kunai.

Along with it came the devilish whispers of Chief Richeng.

"Let's get to work and clean house, Hokage-sama."

Meeting Sarutobi's puzzled gaze, Chief Nichisei pointed to the highly respected senior advisor.

"Please personally escort them on their journey!"

"After all, this is your duty as Hokage."
