Time flies and makes people miss it.
He is older than the third Hokage of Konoha and is now in his early seventies. He should have been enjoying his retirement.
But even when I get old, I still can't find peace.
Either the Jinchūriki of his own village was arrested, or his closed disciple turned against him.
He couldn't even find a successor to the next Tsuchikage in the Hidden Rock Village...
"If it was me twenty years ago, the speed of performing the Dust Escape Technique would definitely not be so slow. I was actually mocked by this little bastard..."
As time went on, his physical strength and reaction ability began to gradually decline, and even the deployment of the quantum realm of the Dust Escape Technique began to be delayed.
Although Ohnoki firmly believed that he had enough strength to defeat the combined forces of Deidara and Sasori, he could no longer achieve a quick victory as he did before.
This was because the opponent never engaged him head-on, but cleverly used his own advantages in defense and containment to keep a safe distance from him. At the same time, he could release iron sand anytime and anywhere to attack him from a distance without the need for hand seals.
This made Ohnoki feel a little helpless.
But as time passed, Ōnoki suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Lord Tsuchikage, our ninjas put up a strong resistance, but 40% of them have unfortunately died heroically, and the remaining personnel have also suffered varying degrees of injuries. Fortunately, Lord Huangtu and Lord Han are fine. But we need to evacuate the territory of the Land of Demons as soon as possible to minimize unnecessary losses!"
"Four percent!?"
Upon hearing this, Ōnoki's face was instantly filled with shock, and he was speechless for a moment.
The flying unit that he was so proud of actually suffered such huge casualties! ?
Just as he was in shock.
Oonoki's pupils suddenly dilated, he immediately realized the problem, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.
"Are the elite troops of our Iwagakure Village going to perish here?"
At this moment, it was obviously too late to retreat.
The Iwagakure ninjas here have already started a fierce battle with the white monsters of the Akatsuki organization. If they choose to retreat at this time, the opponent also has the ability to fly and large-scale ninjutsu attack methods.
At that time, they might not be able to escape and would be pursued frantically by the enemy, causing heavy casualties.
However, if you choose to stay and continue fighting...
Oonoki's hands and feet began to feel cold.
Shangguan Mo, you bastard!!!
They actually sold a strategic material like a flying summoning beast to a rebel ninja organization!!!
......
The land of rain.
Inside the meeting room at the highest point in the village, the atmosphere was dull and tense.
Gathered here are the Akatsuki leader Pain, Konan Kakuzu and others.
All of them were horrified by the battle report sent by White Zetsu.
I didn't expect that a force of less than a thousand people could have such powerful combat effectiveness.
It turned out that the 5,000 White Zetsu who were originally sent to support Orochimaru and his men suffered heavy casualties in the Land of Earth and were almost wiped out.
But fortunately, the mission was successfully completed in the end.
Iwagakure's fate was even more tragic.
They are one thousand elite ninjas in the eastern part of the Land of Earth, led by the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki himself, and with the powerful fighting power of three teams of official members of the Akatsuki organization.
This led to the rapid collapse of Iwagakure on the front battlefield, and finally Ōnoki had to abandon the Five-Tails Jinchūriki and flee back to the Iwagakure Village in a panic with his son.
In this battle, more than 700 of the 1,000 ninjas were killed. In the end, under Ohnoki's best efforts to protect them, only less than 200 remnants were able to evacuate.
"It's unbelievable that a guy like Ohnoki would abandon his men and escape alone!"
......
Chapter 719 Senior brothers meet
Although most of their strength is exposed to the eyes of various countries.
But overall, things are developing in a direction that is beneficial to the Akatsuki organization.
"It is important to shrink the White Zetsu defense line, but the most urgent task right now is how to find Old Zi from Huaguo Mountain!" Pain's tone was indifferent, but he was careful with his words and actions.
Hearing this, everyone in the conference room was shocked and looked at each other with a look of difficulty on their faces.
Even in ordinary times, Huaguo Mountain is a forbidden area for humans.
In those endless mountains, there are volcanoes everywhere that are about to erupt, with super high temperatures, magma, fire poison and ashes all over the sky. Humans cannot set foot there at all.
Not to mention, the Iwagakure Village will definitely provide super-large-scale protection for the remaining Jinchūriki, even though it is rumored that he has a bad personality with Ōnoki.
But this is not a reason for Ōnoki to sit idly by and watch his own Jinchūriki being captured.
Everyone frowned, and for a moment there was no good solution.
......
Konoha Village.
"The repeated defeats against the Yu-nin have had a great impact on my diplomatic work. The attitudes of the major ninja villages...although polite, they all reveal a sense of contempt in their every move..."
Mitomon En sighed deeply.
Utane Koharu also frowned. The once bright situation of Konoha now seemed to be just a passing cloud.
After a long time, the two advisors turned their expectant eyes to Minato Namikaze, hoping that he, as the Hokage, could come up with a solution to the diplomatic obstacles.
Facing the looks from the two advisors, Namikaze Minato turned his eyes away expressionlessly.
Although reluctant to admit it, Konoha's prestige in the ninja world has indeed fallen to the bottom.
"…From the very beginning, I have been firmly opposed to a war with the Kingdom of Soup. We have always been in the dark and lack a deep understanding of the powerful military strength and rigorous offensive capabilities of the Kingdom of Soup."
The Yugen Village is very hidden, and knowing nothing about their hidden power, it is too risky to rashly challenge an unknown opponent, in Koharu Utatane's opinion.
However, due to the personal grudge between Namikaze Minato and him, although he complained a few times, he did not dare to say much.
"Now that things have come to this, there's no point in saying these things. We should focus on solving the current dilemma." Mizuto Menyan observed the situation and calmly persuaded.
If Minato gets mad, these two advisory elders won't be able to continue their jobs!
"In that case, let me, the Hokage, personally visit each of the major ninja villages. I believe that I still have the Yellow Flash to show my respect."
"what!?"
"this......"
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En looked at each other, unable to hide the shock on their faces.
They never imagined that in order to unite the major ninja villages to deal with the Tang Ninja, Namikaze Minato would be so determined!
.......
The reason why fireworks are unforgettable is because of their short-lived and brilliant beauty.
The same is true of Deidara's art, which is to become a fleeting light of aesthetics that will be recognized by the world and engraved in people's hearts forever.
Although this ideal ending seemed to be coming slower than he expected.
Naturally, there are bound to be some regrets in my heart.
The land of earth.
Eight hundred miles of Flaming Mountain!
Countless Rock Ninjas had already gathered outside, surrounding the place tightly.
Since even White Zetsu cannot survive in such a harsh environment, they can only rely on themselves for their source of intelligence.
However, in this situation, not only is it difficult to find Lao Zi's whereabouts, but even one's own safety has become a problem.
After all, there were only four of them who were surrounded by tens of thousands of Rock Ninjas in the sky and on the ground.
Orochimaru and Hiruko escorted the Five-Tails Jinchuriki back to the Land of Rain, and only Kisame and the Itachi team, as well as Deidara and the Scorpion team, were left in the Land of Earth.
The ones responsible for resisting the Iwagakure troops were Deidara and Sasori.
The other two, Kisame and Itachi, were responsible for finding and capturing the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Shi.
......
The leader of Iwagakure is none other than the Third Tsuchikage's son, Koto.
He was riding on a Pegasus and saw Deidara and Sasori walking out of the Fire Mountains. He couldn't help but frown. "What does this mean? Do you think I can't be ruthless to Deidara?"
Huang Tu felt cold in his heart.
He is not his father. Although Deidara is his junior fellow apprentice, he has done something that hurt the village, which is absolutely unforgivable.
The Iwagakure ninja beside him continued to use perception ninjutsu to investigate, turned his head and looked at him.
"He is indeed the only one there. The chakra of those two guys has disappeared."
"Do they really think they can find Master Zi just by walking?"
Huang Tu snorted coldly, his tone disdainful.
......
"If it's just the two of you, you can't be our opponent. If you decide to give up resistance and are willing to actively cooperate with us to find the five Jinchūriki, then I promise to give you a chance to live."
Huang Tu patted Tianma's butt and took a step forward.
At the same time, he waved to the surrounding rock ninjas to follow him.
Coming closer, he fixed his eyes closely on Deidara and offered his suggestions in a calm tone.
He knew very well that this young yellow-haired boy was actually a very powerful and dangerous ninja.
Its special Explosion-Tun Kekkei Genkai has a destructive power far beyond conventional Explosion-Tun Ninjutsu!
Therefore, even though his expression remained unchanged, Huang Tu was still very cautious and kept a certain distance from Deidara so that he would have enough time and space to ensure his own safety if an emergency occurred.
He would not look down on his youngest fellow apprentice just because of his age.
