Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

For this reason, they believed that the best time to launch an attack would be after a series of tasks, such as setting up a command center and establishing supply lines, were completed.

The Hidden Mist Village has come from afar. If they launch a full-scale attack without making adequate preparations, only the former Third Mizukage would have done such a thing.

That was Iwagakure's original plan, until Shiro brought back news: "What did you say? The warships have already landed!"

With foreign warships landing on land, those warships that could originally sail at sea can now operate on land.

The Iwagakure commander in the temporary command post, responsible for establishing a defensive line and waiting for reinforcements, stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Shiro felt as if his heart had been crushed.

The command center is on the warship, as are supplies and the Fog Shadow Force.

The warships of the Hidden Mist allow them to "create seas" where there are no oceans, and even travel on land.

What does this mean?

Kirigakure doesn't need its large fleet to stop and establish defensive positions along the line; it can directly penetrate the heart of Iwagakure!

"This is bad! They dared to bring their warships ashore; they probably intend to travel directly to Daming Prefecture via the canal!"

The Jonin, who was familiar with the terrain and customs of the Land of Earth, pondered for a moment and then understood the intention of Kirigakure.

The Grand Canal facilitated economic circulation, so from its inception, it connected the developed cities of the Land of Earth, including the Land of Earth where the Daimyo Prefecture was located.

As Iwagakure was a military base of the Land of Earth, its dense population was detrimental to the planning of the Grand Canal, so the Grand Canal did not pass through it.

Then Kirigakure's purpose becomes obvious: although the Daimyo's status is not as high as before, it is still the Land of Earth's purse strings and the location of the Daimyo, second only to the Third Daimyo, Ōnoki.

If the daimyo dies, chaos will inevitably break out in the Land of Earth. Not to mention, if the capital were to be captured by the enemy, that would be a true disgrace.

The Jonin reacted quickly, disregarding the dangerous clone Hakushiki, and after assigning him a task in a few words, he promptly contacted Onoki.

Before Onoki could even catch his breath after hearing this news, the Jonin delivered another piece of bad news: "It's terrible! Lord Onoki, Kirigakure is coming!"

"What did you say?"

Onoki asked someone to repeat the details again, incredulously, "The Kirigakure ninja are breaking through our defenses along the Hiroshi Coast!"

The three men's expressions immediately turned serious.

At that moment, the Jonin vaguely realized something: if the Hidden Mist Village took a straight line, then their defensive line would just be blocking the other side.

The Jonin suddenly felt a chill; the sight before him was terrifying.

The next moment, a beam of light shattered the defensive fortifications of Rock Shadow Village.

The originally sturdy defensive barrier was easily destroyed by the impact of the Tailed Beast Bomb and shattered instantly.

Immediately afterwards, a loud bang followed, accompanied by a violent explosion, completely destroying the fortifications, sending dust flying and debris flying everywhere.

The power of the tailed beast chakra was immense; it not only destroyed defensive fortifications but also caused massive damage to the surrounding ground, creating a huge crater.

Under Yagura's orders, the fleet ships that had just crossed the canal, intending to take a straight route and incidentally damage the defenses of Iwagakure, have arrived.

They continue to recharge, preparing for the next attack.

After firing, the six hundred ninjas quickly adjusted their breathing and once again channeled their chakra into the main gun warship.

The others also got busy, preparing for the next round in a tense but orderly manner.

"Tailed Beast Chakra fully charged, countdown, 3, 2, 1, fire!" As the countdown ended again and again, the second chakra beam once again pierced the sky and directly bombarded the last remaining defensive fortifications of Iwakage Village.

Explosions rang out one after another, and the defensive system of Iwakage Village completely collapsed under the continuous attacks of the tailed beast chakra.

Besides the main guns with the strongest offensive power, the other warships also launched their attacks. Various colored chakra rays instantly covered the Iwagakure battlefield, making it feel like a high-tech ray barrage indiscriminately fired in a future war.

When Onoki received the news, Iwakage Village's new defenses had already been breached before reinforcements could arrive.

"How is this possible!" When Onoki informed the elders of the surprise attack on Kirigakure, the entire conference room was filled with shock and unease.

An elder slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and exclaimed incredulously, "How audacious is Kirigakure! How could they be so fast? What methods did they use?"

Onoki's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "The Hidden Mist Village used Water Release techniques to create a waterway on the way, perfectly avoiding the traditional landing process, and directly launched an attack on the Daimyo's residence."

Before the words were even finished, the conference room erupted in uproar. The elders looked at each other, shocked and caught off guard by this tactic.

"Is Kirigakure's method really this unorthodox?"

"There's no time to discuss this; we must immediately send support to Daming Prefecture!"

Onoki took a deep breath and began to issue orders, "Elder Yuan, immediately arrange for people to protect the village and ensure that there are no worries about the rear."

The Hidden Mist Village's true target may be the Daimyo's Mansion, but we cannot let our guard down; we must be fully prepared.

Elder Yuan nodded with a gloomy expression and said, "Understood, I will immediately arrange for people to strengthen the village's defenses."

Onoki continued, "Elder Riku, assist Elder Gen. The other elders will accompany me to the Daimyo's residence to support Kirigakure."

This operation was so swift; it was clearly well-prepared. We must give it our all.

After saying that, Onoki led several elders and immediately left the meeting room to assemble the troops.

Chapter 212 Nothingness and Onoki

On the way, Elder Li frowned and said, "The Hidden Mist Village is coming with great force. I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for reinforcements from the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning."

They were proceeding according to plan, but the situation in Iwagakure is now extremely dangerous.

Two ninjas were captured. Last time, a large number of people died in a fierce battle with the Akatsuki.

Even the clones now have a strained relationship with them.

In this situation, I really can't think of any chance of winning.

Onoki waved his hand and said, "I understand what you mean. Go and talk to the clone. If there are any conditions, you can agree to them as appropriate. I will give you the right to negotiate."

Elder Li breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and then walked towards the place where the clones were being held.

Clone No. 1 is the leader of the clones. After the last battle with the Akatsuki organization, the Akatsuki requested to be imprisoned.

If a clone needs to be used, it must be discussed with the other party.

With the nation in crisis, we must make full use of all available resources.

Clones are an important fighting force in the village, especially when facing powerful enemies, their combat power is irreplaceable.

A few minutes later, Elder Li arrived at the door of the cell where No. 1 was being held.

He raised his hand to signal, and the guard immediately stepped forward and opened the cell door.

The ordinary iron gate slowly opened, emitting a piercing creak.

Inside the cell, No.1 sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, calm and composed, as if he had already anticipated Elder Li's arrival.

"Are there enemies here? If there weren't enemies, a dignified elder wouldn't condescend to come to a place like this."

No.1 was the first to break the silence.

“That’s right, Lord Onoki ordered me to come and talk to you.” Elder Li didn’t waste any time and got straight to the point.

"The village is now facing a new threat. The Hidden Mist Village and the Land of Snow have joined forces to launch an attack on us."

"We need your help, but I want an agreement. Otherwise, I will not let my compatriots go to the battlefield with you." No.1 stared intently at Elder Li, his gaze piercing.

"What agreement?"

"Clones are equal to ordinary citizens of the Land of Earth?!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Li remained silent for a moment, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

No.1's gaze was firm, fixed on Elder Li, awaiting his response.

It's important to understand that this request is extremely difficult for Iwagakure to accept, but it's also what the clones have always demanded, and it's a prerequisite for them to serve the Land of Earth again.

Elder Li took a deep breath and slowly said, "No.1, I am aware of your request, but such an agreement involves the fundamental system of the village and requires discussion and approval by all the elders. It is not something I can decide alone."

"Hmph, why do we need the consent of all the elders? It's no longer a one-country-one-village system. As long as the Third Tsuchikage, Lord Onoki, agrees, that's enough. And in this critical moment, he should have already granted you the authority to make decisions independently."

No.1 has a sharp eye: "Only when the Land of Earth is in crisis can we clones fight for equal treatment."

Elder Li's heart tightened. He glanced at No.1 carefully, realizing that he had to make concessions. Helplessly, he said, "Tell me your specific thoughts."

"First, the agreement must be signed and sealed by Onoki himself to ensure its legal validity," No.1 stated clearly.

"Alright." Elder Li nodded.

"Second, once the agreement is passed, clones will enjoy the same rights as ordinary citizens, including freedom of movement, participation in national affairs, access to education and healthcare," No.1 continued.

Elder Li lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought, and after a moment nodded, saying, "Alright."

"Third, if the Land of Earth reneges on the agreement, we have the right to take all actions to protect our rights and interests," No.1 said firmly.

Elder Li, who was deep in thought, looked up at No.1 upon hearing this almost threatening demand, but quickly nodded helplessly: "This is your right, and it is also a basic requirement for residents of the Land of Earth."

It was obvious that the other party had considered it for a long time, leaving him little room for doubt or maneuver.

However, considering the current situation, Iwagakure cannot afford to offend the clones, much less fall out with them.

Fourth, continue to clone humans in large numbers.

No.1 continued, "With these two countries joining forces, you and we alone cannot withstand them. We must rely on a large number of clones to maintain the front line."

Elder Li glanced at him and solemnly reminded him, "There is something I must tell you: your rebellious act has caused great dissatisfaction within Iwagakure."

Even if you sign the agreement, you'll likely face many difficulties within Iwagakure.

“I understand. Alright, now take your men and head to Daming Prefecture to provide support as soon as possible.” No.1 shook his head and said to the others in a calm tone.

"I'll keep an eye on this area."

Elder Li has calculated it carefully. Taking into account the time it took them to reach Daming Prefecture when we led everyone to provide support before, as well as the time it would take us to get to Daming Prefecture, he gritted his teeth and decided that this trip could be successful.

Yagura's violent advance will definitely deplete the chakra of his ninjas, and they will inevitably stop to rest for a while along the way. We will definitely be able to catch up.

Meanwhile, Onoki found an opportunity to leave the battlefield. He first notified the target unit that was originally on the front line of the Spinning, and asked them to change their target and head to the Daimyo Prefecture.

After that, he found Otsutsuki Isshiki. According to Shiro's report, Hiruko was also on the front lines.

"Are you confident you can kill him?" Facing Onoki's direct gaze, Otsutsuki Isshiki, sitting behind the table, tapped the table and pondered for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure either."

The Tenseigan is a special ability possessed by very few people in the entire Otsutsuki clan.

I know less about it than I do about the Rinnegan.

After all, the Rinnegan is related to the Divine Tree and is a dojutsu whose acquisition difficulty is second only to the Byakugan. It is too common and extremely easy to obtain; you just need to find a planet and plant the Divine Tree.

As for the Reincarnation Eye, I've only seen it in books; I've never experienced it firsthand, and I can't guarantee its existence.
