Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Chapter 41 Shennong! (Please read further, vote, and give monthly tickets!)

Walking on the streets of the Empty Ninja Village, Hoshino Hide could still feel the pervasive sense of panic.

Only one night had passed since the chaos erupted.

And all of this was caused by him.

However, Xingxia Xiu felt no guilt or regret whatsoever.

He has no ties in this world.

The so-called "bond" is not a positive term.

"One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand soldiers!"

"How can you live well in this world if you're not ruthless?"

Having lived two lives, Xingxia Xiu understands this all too well.

If you don't sacrifice others, you have to sacrifice yourself.

After wandering around for a while, to avoid being noticed, Hoshino Hide went to Yakushi Nonou's residence.

Entering the Sky Ninja Village is not difficult, but to remain hidden for a long time, one must have a safe hiding place and a legitimate identity.

For example, the wandering ninja from before.

And now, Yakushi Nonou's residence is absolutely safe.

After all, Yakushi Nonou lost her older brother for the sake of the Sora Ninja Village.

Her heart was pierced, and blood flowed all over the ground. It couldn't be more real. No one doubted Yakushi Nonou's identity, and no one treated her as an outsider, even though she had only been in the Sky Ninja Village for less than half a month.

However, Yakushi Nono has already treated a large number of Sky Ninjas.

This is a professional advantage; it naturally makes it easier to gain the trust of others.

Bai Tianxing did not make any rash moves.

Instead, his true form was hidden in Yakushi Nonou's residence, while he created shadow clones that constantly changed identities to wander around the Sky Ninja Village.

He wanted to uncover the hidden secrets of the Sky Ninja Village.

For example, that aerial fortress, does it already exist now?

It was built after the Sky Ninja Village was destroyed in the Second Shinobi World War.

There's also the Zero-Tails; judging from the sealing techniques collected from the Sky Ninja Village, it seems to have already appeared.

Unfortunately, yesterday was not the right time to take the leader of the Sky Ninja.

However, Hoshino Hide is not proficient in illusion techniques, so he can obtain information from the leader of the Sky Ninja in a short time.

but.

While Hoshino remained still, Danzo made swift and decisive moves outside the Hidden Ninja Village.

First, there were the Sky Ninjas monitoring the Root squad. As soon as Hoshino Hide left, Danzo led the Root ninjas to wipe out all the Sky Ninjas.

Danzo then became even more ruthless and vicious.

They directly divided their forces to occupy the villages and towns surrounding the Sky Ninja Village, relying on these villages and towns to hunt down Sky Ninjas.

at the same time.

Hatake Sakumo, who had been dispatched with Danzo, also arrived at the border between the Land of the Moon and the Land of Lightning with the original border defense forces.

The commotion in the Sky Ninja Village yesterday was so great that the Cloud Ninja were also paying attention.

Konoha's actions were so significant, with such a large force appearing on the border, that the Cloud Ninja immediately sent intelligence to headquarters.

Kong Ren, on the other hand, only found out about it at noon.

Therefore, an emergency meeting of Jonin was convened.

"Without a doubt, Konoha has decided to wage war against us!"

"I told you, we can't be so forceful with Konoha!"

"A silent man shouted."

Another ninja frowned: "There's no point in talking about this now. Even if we surrender, do you think Konoha will stop its operations?"

"Let's ask the Cloud Ninja for help!"

"Only with the help of the Cloud Ninja can we withstand the attack from Konoha."

Over the past few days, they have come to realize the truth.

Konoha seemed easy to bully before, but that's because they weren't serious at all.

If we take this seriously now, the situation will quickly spiral out of control.

The entire village suffered heavy losses.

Feeling the oppressive and restless atmosphere, Gu Yue Dacheng said in a deep voice, "Besides asking the Cloud Ninja for help, we must gather all our forces and shrink our defensive line so that we can buy enough time to wait for the Cloud Ninja's rescue."

"Otherwise, if this continues, our fighting force will be gradually worn down by Konoha."

This statement was agreed upon by everyone.

Then someone else asked, "What if the Cloud Ninja can't come to our rescue in time?"

"Can we use that now?"

For a moment, everyone was silent.

An elderly man who had remained silent said, "That thing cannot be used yet because it is completely uncontrollable."

"The only consequence of using this method is that we will be destroyed first."

Seeing the silent crowd, the old man suddenly shouted, "Everyone!"

"We have to admit that the village is at a critical juncture of survival."

"We cannot place our hopes on the Cloud Ninja."

"You should all be well aware that our relationship with the Cloud Ninja is purely one of mutual exploitation. The Cloud Ninja uses us to fight against Konoha, and we use the Cloud Ninja to intimidate Konoha, strengthen ourselves, and revive the Land of the Sky."

"But will the Cloud Ninja start a large-scale war against Konoha right now for our sake?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Gu Yue Dacheng and the others remained silent.

Because everyone knows that the possibility is extremely small.

The incident happened suddenly, and the Cloud Ninja were probably not prepared for war at all.

Just like before, Konoha was unprepared for war when faced with their provocations.

"Since that's the case..."

Gu Yue Dacheng suddenly took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Then, shouldn't we also prepare for the worst?"

"If we can't stop Konoha, what should we do?"

These words caused a stir in the atmosphere.

Then everyone looked at the old man.

The old man said, "Da Cheng Jun is right. We must prepare for the worst."

"If we cannot withstand Konoha's attack, then we must consider preserving the flame, just like the Land of the Sky did back then."

"That place is a good choice."

"And right now, only I know the entrance and its exact location, so everyone, please begin to prepare."

"Under the guise of seeking refuge, transfer some of the seeds to the shelter. I will then lead them to the secret location. If we cannot withstand Konoha, then they will become the hope for the village's future revival."

"And I will end my own life afterward to prevent Konoha from obtaining the information."

Gu Yue Dacheng and the others all paled: "Elder Qingtai!"

Qingtai raised her hand and said calmly, "Do you have a better plan?"

silence.

Moss slowly rose to her feet: "Let's decide on this!"

……

The residence of Yakushi Nonou.

Hoshino suddenly opened his eyes: "They've started evacuating the children. It seems that Sora has realized that a war is inevitable."

After thinking for a moment, he immediately created two Wood Release clones and left.

The refuge of the Sky Ninja Village.

Qingtai looked at the young man in front of him and said, "Shennong, I'm entrusting these children to you."

"The hope of the Sky Kingdom is also entrusted to you."

"Remember, only when you can utilize the power of the Zero-Tails will it be time to destroy the Five Great Nations and restore the Land of the Sky. You must learn to be patient!"

The young Shennong's eyes welled up with tears, but he gritted his teeth and held them back: "Elder, I'll remember this."

"I will definitely raise these children well."

"I will make good use of the Zero-Tails' power, and in the future, I will definitely destroy the Five Great Shinobi Villages, revitalize the Land of Sky, and unify the shinobi world!"

Moss nodded with satisfaction, then smiled and said, "Then, go ahead."

"This is the extent of my journey. After that, this passage will be abandoned, and no one in the village, except you, will know where the entrance and exit are."

"If the village is destroyed, then you will be the new leader!"

Shennong bowed respectfully upon hearing this, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.

The moss pressed the mechanism on the stone wall, and the stone door slammed shut, sealing the entrance and exit.

He then turned to look at the passage he had come from and said in a deep voice, "Come out, you can't hide from my senses!"
