Listen to advice: I, Sasuke, why should I defect to Konoha?

"You want to get your work back? Boring! I'll only give you two days..." The girl waved her hand slightly annoyed.

This place is so hot and dry. If she didn't need to cooperate with other groups, she wouldn't want to stay there for even a minute!

"It won't take long. I'll be back soon." Scorpion ignored the other party's attitude and turned around to follow Yura into the shadows...

Chapter 380: Fire Temple Land, Battle and Infiltration

As the incident unfolded, the major powers accelerated their war machines. Except for Kirigakure, the other four major powers were all at war...

At this time, two uninvited guests came somewhere in the Fire Kingdom.

"Is this the place? This is where the spirits of the important figures of the Fire Country are enshrined. Even the daimyo cannot ignore this temple..."

"Well, the target's head is worth thirty million taels, so don't be too rough when you attack him."

In front of an ancient and majestic iron gate with an image of a furious King Kong engraved on the outside, Hidan and Kakuzu stopped and looked at each other with different eyes.

"Thirty million taels, you're really a money-grubber, Kakuzu. At this time you still care about those useless money..." Hidan swung his sickle with disdain, and felt annoyed when he thought of the previous situation where he was suddenly overdrawn by the girl.

It is ironic and shameful to think that he, a follower of the evil god cult and an immortal being, has become a person who can be slaughtered by others!

"As the financial director of Akatsuki, the more wartime it is, the more I need to increase my financial reserves. You have no idea of ​​the pressure I'm under..." Kakuzu retorted coldly and walked towards the temple.

This place is, of course, the Fire Temple, an important place in the Fire Kingdom.

"Rumble..."

Kakuzu was seen hardening his earth escape technique while walking, and punching the temple gate that was known as the iron wall of seal.

"Someone actually broke through the sealed iron gate. Quickly notify Lord Lu..."

"That outfit is from Akatsuki. It's Akatsuki, for sure. What are they doing here?"

"No matter what they want to do, we cannot let them destroy the offerings and disturb the rest of the dead souls..."

Soon, the noise outside the door attracted the attention of many ninja monks in the temple, and they rushed out of the hall and shouted.

"I don't know what the two of you can do for you. If you have nothing else, please go back..." With the support of the crowd, a middle-aged ninja monk walked down the hall and sent the guests away in a cold voice.

"You are one of the ninja monks who were once chosen to guard the Twelve Warriors. The fire-patterned loincloth around your waist has already betrayed your identity. The talent of the immortal race, Dilu, who is worth thirty million taels..." Kakuzu said, looking at the buzzing sound around the waist of the middle-aged ninja monk.

"Tsk, who cares if he's a fairy. Anyway, I'm going to sacrifice these pagans to the evil god!" Feiduan shouted, waving the bloody March sickle and rushed forward.

"Don't kill them all, send two out to pass on the information!" Kakuzu followed closely behind and gave an order while coordinating the attack from the side.

"Come and welcome, Thousand Hands Killer..."

Seeing the opponent coming at him aggressively, Di Lu did not hesitate to launch his strongest attack. In an instant, the Thousand-armed Guanyin suddenly appeared...

Meanwhile, Konoha.

"Everyone, Akatsuki manipulated Amegakure to invade the Land of Fire and start a war. The battle has already begun and the situation is serious!"

"Akatsuki's goal is to collect all the tailed beasts to create the Ten-Tails weapon, and eventually pull all humans into the world of illusion."

"In order to protect our families and villages, to protect ourselves, and for the future of Konoha and the ninja world, we must rise up and resist!"

"I believe that we in Konoha can definitely win this war, and the heroes who win the war are everyone present here."

"Let's go, support the front line to defeat Akatsuki and Amegakure and dismantle their conspiracy!"

"The Fourth Shinobi World War begins right now..."

At the gate of Konoha, Hokage Tsunade stood on a makeshift platform and raised her arms and shouted...

"Konoha will win, Konoha will win..."

Suddenly, the five thousand ninjas headed by various families below shouted in unison, and everyone was hysterical.

Members of the Hyuga, Inuzuka, Sarutobi, Shimura, Aburame, Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka families were all among them, among which the more than 1,000 ninja soldiers of the Sarutobi family were the most eye-catching...

"Karin, I'm sorry that your training has to end here! I want you to lead the medical team to the front line to ensure the treatment of the wounded. At present, you are the only one who has this ability." Looking at the high morale of the troops, Tsunade turned to Karin, who was wearing a Chunin vest and said.

Although Sakura's medical ninjutsu is acceptable, it is still not as good as Karin's physical healing + Tsuna's healing in the complex and changeable environment of war.

Especially, Karin who has already learned the Yin Seal!!

"Yes, Master." Karin responded solemnly, the diamond-shaped mark on her forehead shining brightly.

Seeing this, Tsunade was relieved and turned around again, "Ningji, you take Lee, Tenten and Sai with you, cooperate with the medical team to quickly transfer and treat the wounded and ensure the safety of the medical team, especially Karin."

"Yes, Lord Hokage." Neji nodded immediately, his byakuya eyes shining brightly.

Seeing that everything was arranged, Tsunade nodded to the team leader Bai Yunzao, signaling him to send out the army.

"Let's go!" Bai Yun didn't say much in the morning. He waved his hand and led the way.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the other ninjas followed closely behind in formation, and smoke and dust billowed...

The medical team led by Karin and Neji's team followed at the end to protect the baggage train.

"Hokage-sama, why don't you let us go with you?"

"Yes, Master."

Looking at the large army that disappeared in the blink of an eye, Ino and Sakura asked unwillingly at the same time.

Especially Sakura, she also learned the Yin Seal, but she is not as proficient as Karin and has not accumulated much chakra!

"The war has just begun. The situation in the ninja world is unclear. We must be prepared for any unexpected events. After all, our opponent is Akatsuki. We cannot take it lightly..." Tsunade explained briefly, and then her eyes became serious. "Sakura, you immediately contact Shizune to form a second medical team and be ready to go at any time. As for Ino, I still need your class to help coordinate the deployment of supplies and personnel."

"Ah? You're asking me to do such a troublesome thing..." Shikamaru scratched his head in pain, but did not refuse the task.

Dad Lu Jiu and the others are responsible for giving advice on the war, so they are indeed more suitable for these trivial matters!

"By the way, when will Sasuke and Naruto come back? Naruto is fine in this situation, but Sasuke's strength is indispensable to Konoha."

"It's time for them to come back!" Hearing Shikamaru's complaints, Tsunade smiled faintly and walked quickly towards the Hokage Building.

She still needed to go to the Daming Mansion. Xuanjian and his men had already prepared the Flying Thunder God Formation! She had to go and come back quickly.

As Tsunade entered the gate of Konoha, Shikamaru and the others also left quickly...

After everyone left, four figures walked in from the other side of Konoha, ignoring the barrier.

"I never thought that I would return to Konoha in this state, especially when the village is empty..."

"Sarutobi, in the final analysis, all of this is your fault! If you had killed Orochimaru, so many things wouldn't have happened."

"It's not Orochimaru who summoned us now, so this is a bit far-fetched..."

"In the final analysis, it's all because of Orochimaru. Are you still biased and making excuses now? Don't forget that you were killed by him!"

"So what……"

"You two stop arguing and think about what we should do now. We can't really go find the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails and let Akatsuki's conspiracy succeed!"

"We can't even control our own actions now, what else can we do? We can only pray that the security team will find us in time..."

"Discovered? Our chakras are recognized by the Konoha barrier and will not trigger the alarm at all. That kind of thing is simply impossible!"

"Damn Orochimaru..."

Chapter 381: Fateful Battle, Chasing the Undead Group

The next day, Konoha.

"What? The Fire Temple was attacked by Akatsuki? The whole temple was nearly destroyed!!" Shizune's face suddenly changed when she heard the report from the Anbu captain Tenzang. Why did it happen at this time?

Lady Tsunade has secretly gone to the daimyo's mansion and has not returned yet. What should we do now? ?

"It is indeed Akatsuki. According to the description of the monk who escaped from the Fire Temple, those two people are Kakuzu and Hidan, the S-rank rebel ninjas codenamed Hokuto and Santai. The intelligence about Akatsuki has been circulated to the entire Anbu by the Hokage after the joint Chunin exam. There is no mistake."

"It's them! No, it must not be an accident that Akatsuki appears in the Fire Temple at this time! We must ask Lord Jiraiya..." Soon, Shizune took a quick breath and was about to leave with the documents in her arms.

"Wait, maybe this is a trap!" But just as she got up to leave, a voice suddenly appeared.

"Mr. Shikaku, what do you mean? The Fire Temple is a place where the spirits of successive daimyos and important officials are enshrined. Do you want us in Konoha to just leave it alone?" Shizune asked sternly when she saw the man coming towards her.

Currently, Lady Tsunade is discussing war support with the Daimyo. If we ignore her at this time, the Daimyo will most likely cut off or reduce material assistance when he finds out.

This is definitely not good news for the upcoming war!

Therefore, they must handle this matter before Daimyo knows about it and give Daimyo an explanation!

Shikaku gently waved his hand to signal Shizune to calm down, "It is now clear that Akatsuki's target is the tailed beast, and we have already started a war with Akatsuki! In this case, why would they waste their troops to attack the Fire Temple at this critical moment?"

"So, there are only two reasons why Akatsuki could attack. Either there is something in the Fire Temple that is worth them taking the risk at this time!"

"Or, it's a conspiracy..."

"Conspiracy!" Jingyin's pupils shrank when she heard that, and her anxious mood quickly calmed down.

"Logically speaking, if we find Akatsuki members in the Fire Nation at this time, they will spare no effort to destroy them and weaken Akatsuki's strength."

"But because of this, we might fall right into Akatsuki's trap!"

"You mean, Akatsuki will ambush and counterattack?" Shizune's body trembled as she suddenly realized.

Seeing this, Shikaku shook his head again, "It's not certain yet, maybe it's a counter-ambush to weaken Konoha's strength, or maybe it's..."

"What is it?" Looking at Shikaku who was frowning slightly, Shizune hurriedly urged.

"Lure the tiger away from the mountain and launch a surprise attack on Konoha!!"

"What? How dare they?" Upon hearing Shizue's guess, Shizue's face changed again, she couldn't believe it.

Although Konoha has sent out 5,000 troops, there are still no less than 8,000 registered ninjas in the village...

With such a large overall strength, how dare Akatsuki attack Konoha?

"Hahaha, this is just my guess. Maybe I'm overthinking..." Lu Jiu couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the atmosphere was a bit tense, but then his face suddenly became serious.

"Whether it's a conspiracy or not, we can't just sit back and watch! I believe this is why Akatsuki attacked the Fire Temple. The most suitable person to check on the village right now is Master Jiraiya, but he also has to monitor Orochimaru and stay in Konoha!"

"So, we can only dispatch other teams to investigate. At present, it seems that only Asuma's Team 10 and Kurenai's Team 8 can work together. Didn't Shikamaru and his team fight against each other in the last joint Chunin Exam?"

"But Shikamaru still has to coordinate logistics. The red jonin just found out she's pregnant and can't carry out the mission for the time being." Shizune said with a bitter face, pausing and looking at Shikaku with hesitation. "How about letting Sasuke and Naruto..."

"No, these two are important factors that determine the outcome of this war. We cannot let them leave the village, and we are not allowed to reveal their information casually!" Lu Jiu interrupted immediately and refused in a cold voice.

Seeing Shikaku's intense reaction, Shizune also reacted, with beads of cold sweat on her forehead...

Indeed, whether it is Sasuke's Rinnegan or the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body, they are existences that cannot be easily risked!
