I travel through thousands of worlds at the same time

In the high-level buildings of the castle tower, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He had never expected that he would be defeated so quickly, and the army he had gathered was defeated miserably. Now faced with the dilemma of being surrounded by the Ninja Alliance, he racked his brains but had no idea how to solve the deadlock.

"Your Highness! Why don't you get someone to escort us and escape through the secret passage?!"

Seeing that the Fire Nation Daimyo was so anxious, a Fire Nation noble who was still following them directly proposed to escape. His proposal was agreed by several other nobles. These nobles who had enjoyed wealth and glory since birth had never seen such a bloody battlefield. If they had not been concerned about the difficulty of their family escaping from the royal capital, they would not have retreated to the castle tower with the Daimyo.

"It's useless! The secret passages that were there before were destroyed inexplicably!"

After hearing the proposal of the great noble, the Fire Country Daimyo, who used to put on makeup and wear luxurious clothes in front of others, looked at everyone with a pale face and announced a despairing news, which also caused the Fire Country nobles to completely collapse mentally: "Besides, even if we can escape, can we escape the pursuit of the Ninja Alliance? They are already the winners..."

Well, it seems that the stimulation of death has made the brain work faster. The Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who used to be very interested in beauties and fine wine, has come to a rare conclusion based on his own knowledge, that is, they are the fish at the bottom of the pot that are about to be cooked.

Why did the various forces in the ninja world form a united camp to fight against the aggressive Ninja Alliance? Isn't it because a single big country or a big ninja village is no match for the Ninja Alliance? And if it were just the Fire Country and Konoha Village, the daimyo would feel very unsafe, so he tacitly joined forces with the daimyo of the other two countries and wanted to form a united camp to target the Ninja Alliance. At the very least, they wanted to have a confrontation situation where they were equal.

Unfortunately, during the previous few years of peace, each force within the united camp had its own little ideas and was unable to form a unity to fight against the Ninja Alliance. When the Ninja Alliance launched a surprise attack on the Land of Lightning and the Cloud Village a few days ago, the Fire Country Daimyo and the leaders of other forces who received the news were still considering whether to rescue each other immediately. Needless to say, the result was that the Land of Earth and the Rock Village also announced their surrender.

The Land of Fire and Konoha Village are now fighting alone. Even if the daimyo and nobles escape from the capital of the Land of Fire, there is no safer place to escape to. Both the daimyo and the nobles know that Konoha Village must be the main target of the Ninja Alliance. Other towns are not safe either. What's more, now that even the escape passages have been destroyed, they have no safe way to evacuate properly.

After realizing this, the Fire Nation Daimyo and several great nobles sat there in despair. Some of them were even in tears without any aristocratic manners. However, at this critical moment of life and death, no one would pay attention to this useless thing.

"Notify headquarters, the capital of the Fire Nation has been captured by us!"

On that day, the top floor of the tower was captured and the middle-aged samurai guard who was at the level of Kage was successfully killed. Even the rooftop was turned into a Shura field by the bone spurs created by the [Corpse Bone Veins]. Kaguya Kimimaro was sure that he had dealt with the daimyo and those nobles. Looking at the capital city which had been occupied for most of the area, he sent the messenger to report the good news without hesitation and uploaded the news that the capital of the Land of Fire had been captured.

At this point, the daimyo and most of the nobles of the Fire Country have become corpses. The remaining aristocratic forces in those remaining places have also been cleared out by the Ninja Alliance that occupied towns and strategic nodes. Except for Konoha Village, the Fire Country has been taken down!

Chapter 78 The Lonely Konoha Village

"What should I do? No one in the village is allowed to go out?!"

"It seems to be the cause of the war. Has the enemy already penetrated into the heart of the Fire Nation?"

"I don't know, but prices haven't gone up..."

In the capital of the Land of Fire, when it was completely occupied at sunset, the situation in Konoha Village seemed a little delicate. Some villagers who were more informed were discussing with each other in a low voice, and they did not dare to say anything because of the ninja teams patrolling back and forth.

The ninja world is not a place that cares about secrets. Many daimyos and nobles usually tell people who say something nonsense about their own territory to shut up. For example, when a ninja village is in a state of war, the guy who spreads the news will most likely be directly visited by the Anbu, and then disappear silently from the sight of people around him. Even the villagers of the ninja village who see this scene will tacitly shut up.

As for Konoha Village, the situation would naturally be no different, unless there were powerful figures stirring up trouble. Otherwise, looking at the original plot about the demise of the Uchiha clan, the other villagers tacitly did not discuss why the Uchiha clan, one of the two major ninja clans that founded Konoha Village, was exterminated by Uchiha Itachi. Just by discussing the official news released by Konoha Village, we can see their own survival wisdom, which is to never disobey the orders of their own ninja village.

In the past two days, the villagers of Konoha Village have received public news from the Ninja Village that the United Camp has declared war on the Ninja Alliance, and the two sides are engaged in a tug-of-war in the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire. It is no surprise that Konoha Village has entered a state of war. Ninjas without missions are not allowed to go out. For example, it is difficult for villagers to leave the village unless they have a reasonable reason and pass the review.

If this was the case, the villagers of Konoha Village, who had experienced the previous Ninja World Wars, would not be surprised but would face it calmly. However, seeing that the village recalled retired ninjas and non-graduates of the Ninja School in a short period of time, smart people all felt something was wrong and the situation seemed to be a little bit wrong.

However, the top leaders of Konoha Village have no intention of releasing the news. The villagers of Konoha Village and those ninjas below the level of Jonin only know some random rumors at most. Accurate war news will not be disclosed to most people!

[Is the war about to start? But I can really survive the war by teaming up with Sasuke and Naruto, and Kakashi-sensei is also on the front line...]

While the villagers of Konoha were discussing in low voices, a girl with short pink hair and a Konoha ninja forehead protector walked by carrying a vegetable basket. She listened to the discussions, pursed her lips and said nothing, but many thoughts still emerged in her mind.

The story is completely different from the original story of "Naruto". Konoha Village did not have that long period of peace, and the major ninja clans did not give up because of the demise of the Uchiha clan. The students of Konoha Ninja School, including Haruno Sakura, received a lot of training. Although she still teamed up with Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, she practiced medical ninjutsu and became a formal medical ninja. It can be said that her future is definitely not bad.

However, Haruno Sakura is now like many civilian ninjas. At most, she knows more about the situation than the villagers of Konoha Village. However, she does not know that the situation Konoha Village is facing now has turned into a tragic scene where a ninja village has to fight against the Ninja Alliance!

……

Konoha Village, Uchiha Clan Land

Due to the flapping of the wings of Li Mo's Wind God Pterosaur, and the fact that Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu were captured and sent to the laboratory early, the Uchiha clan did not suffer the disaster of genocide. Even after the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya came to power, the situation got much better.

How to say it, as the fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, apart from his pursuit of erotic aspects, his abilities and skills are quite outstanding. He also had many old subordinates in Konoha Village in the past. He adopted a method of both beating and pulling towards the Uchiha clan. For example, in terms of suppression, he had the previous actions of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo. He even only needed to adopt a certain conciliatory attitude to win over the Uchiha clan.

In this regard, the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya has much more bottom line than Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo. At least he would not do something like that, which not only deceived the other party into working for Konoha Village, but also let the other party kill his entire clan with his own hands and go undercover in Akatsuki organization (talking about the scumbag Itachi with a particularly strange brain circuit). For example, after several contacts with the Uchiha clan, he no longer suppressed it but turned it for his own use. Therefore, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi did not have to follow the old path and worked hard for Jiraiya obediently.

Therefore, the current situation of the Uchiha clan is not bad. Uchiha Obito was not stupid enough to show his Mangekyō Sharingan [Kotoamatsukami], so he was not targeted by Shimura Danzo and his Mangekyō Sharingan was not taken away. Therefore, he is still alive and well. He was caught by Uzumaki Nagato and became a prisoner during the joint defense. As for Uchiha Itachi, he is still the captain of the Anbu directly under the Hokage.

However, the current head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku, has to face a huge problem. This time, Konoha Village will definitely be the enemy's main target of attack, and Jiraiya has already decided to fight, but he gave others the opportunity to choose.

"Father, why am I not allowed to fight?"

In the residence of the Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Sasuke looked at his father and mother with some excitement. What was rare was that he used a very excited tone to question his father, Uchiha Fugaku.

Under normal circumstances, Uchiha Sasuke would not do this. Having not experienced the original plot line where he witnessed his brother raising the knife to kill his parents and clansmen, his character has not changed much, and his strength is almost reaching the stage of a special jonin. However, he is very panicked now. He learned what his father said about facing the attack of the Ninja Alliance, and that Konoha Village has little chance of winning this regard, but his father and brother are preparing to join the war, which gives him a bad premonition.

After all, he still has the support of his family. Uchiha Sasuke is no novice in the original plot line. He naturally understands what the Ninja World War is. The enemy that can make Konoha Village and even the Fire Nation join forces with other ninja villages and countries is definitely a terrifying enemy!

"Sasuke, you're not strong enough. The Hokage has requested that all who participate in this battle must be at least Jonin!"

Facing the questioning of his twelve-year-old son, Uchiha Fugaku, who appeared to be very calm, slightly raised his bloodshot eyes and looked at his son for a few times. He directly gave a well-reasoned answer to his son's question, then looked at his wife with a worried look on her face, and then looked at his son again, his voice unconsciously lowered: "In fact, the result of this battle is inevitable defeat, it's nothing more than that we have to participate..."

What Uchiha Fugaku did not tell his youngest son was that since they learned yesterday that the Land of Earth and the Iwagakure were both defeated, the top leaders of Konoha Village have realized that if they wanted to use Konoha Village alone to fight against the Ninja Alliance, that would undoubtedly be courting death. The Third Ninja World War was enough to illustrate the consequences of doing so.

Compared with the Third Ninja World War, which was the most dangerous situation encountered by Konoha Village, the Ninja Alliance is not the four major ninja villages with many contradictions. It has defeated other ninja villages and countries one by one and can be said to have overwhelming power. The best choice for Konoha Village at this time is to choose a more decent way of surrender. However, Jiraiya and the major ninja clans of Konoha Village, including those senior ninjas, would not choose to surrender without fighting. Jiraiya was even prepared to die in battle.

After all, there has been no precedent of the Kage of the five major ninja villages in the ninja world voluntarily surrendering to another force. Even the initial cooperation between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha only made the other four major ninja villages and the four major countries recognize the ninja world's structure. In the three Ninja World Wars, even the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama died on the battlefield, and the Kage of the other five major ninja villages only died in battle, and there was no Kage who surrendered or was captured.

In this case, the Uchiha clan also faced a choice. The final decision of Uchiha Fugaku and the elders of the Uchiha clan was that he would take half of the elite members of the clan to follow Jiraiya to join the war, while the rest of the clan members were ready to surrender to the other side!

"But……"

For Uchiha Sasuke, who was unaware of the twists and turns, he did not understand the meaning of his father's later words. He only thought about why he could not join the war with his father and brother, and wanted to fight for it again.

"Sasuke, follow orders. You and the other ninjas in the clan have to protect everyone!"

Seeing that Uchiha Sasuke wanted to say something, Uchiha Fugaku, who had been arguing with Jiraiya and the clan elites all day yesterday, was unwilling to waste time on the decision that had already been made. He spoke directly to his younger son in a commanding tone, and was very pleased to see that his younger son had to stop what he was about to say, and then he whispered to his wife about several other matters.

As for Uchiha Sasuke's own thoughts, his father Uchiha Fugaku didn't care. After giving a look to his wife Uchiha Mikoto, Uchiha Sasuke was obediently pulled aside by his mother and taught!

……

"Clan leader, why do all the elders of our clan have to fight?!"

On the other side, in the living room of the Hyuga clan's main residence, an elder of the Hyuga main clan asked with great dissatisfaction. Moreover, there was not only him but also six elders from the Hyuga main clan branches present. They all looked at the clan leader Hyuga Hiashi with suspicion, wanting to get a satisfactory explanation.

To be honest, the situation of the Hyuga family is naturally much more complicated than the original anime of "Naruto". For example, the Hyuga main family is not just the lineage of Hyuga Hiashi. The Hyuga main family originally had several branches. However, their situation is the same as Hyuga Hiashi. Except for one heir who can succeed to the position of the main family, the other descendants, even if they are comrades-in-arms and brothers, will be marked with the "Bird in a Cage" mark when they reach a certain age. At most, they may be closer than other branch ninjas.

In this situation, except for the members of the main family, the other ninjas of the Hyuga branch families were in a lifeless state. They believed that no matter how hard they tried, they could never become the main family. On the contrary, the stronger they were, the easier it would be for them to become the main family's thugs. The life and death of themselves and even their descendants were in the hands of the main family. Letting them use their lives to protect the main family naturally made the people of the Hyuga main family live a very good life.

However, at this time, Hyuga Hiashi had captured all the elders of the Hyuga clan and put them on the list of those scheduled to participate in the war with the Ninja Alliance. Naturally, these elders of the Hyuga clan, who had lived a life of luxury in the past, would come to him for a satisfactory explanation!

"Everyone, it's not just me and the elders of the Hyuga clan who are going to join the war. All the ninja clans in Konoha will have at least half of their elites led by their clan leaders to join the war!"

Facing several elders of the Hyuga clan who had caused him trouble from time to time in the past and who had been prevented from making any changes, Hyuga Hiashi felt disgusted, but he did not show it on the surface. Instead, he had a blank expression on his face, and his words revealed a helpless fact: "Even the patriarch of the Uchiha clan is preparing to go into battle with his eldest son. Only when the head of our Hyuga clan and the elders of the clan go into battle together can we live up to the name of the Hyuga clan..."

At this point, Hyuga Hiashi's words left several elders of the Hyuga clan speechless. These old guys, who had been pampered, always talked to the clan leader about the traditions and reputation of the Hyuga family, but in reality they just enjoyed the benefits and were unwilling to give them up.

In the Hyuga family's "Bird in a Cage" sealing technique, the Hyuga branch family, which has an absolute numerical advantage, has to use their lives to protect the members of the Hyuga main family. It can be said that the life of any member of the Hyuga main family is extremely leisurely. Except for a very small number of motivated Hyuga main family members who are willing to go to the battlefield, most of the Hyuga main family members are just living their good lives and are not willing to change their current situation at all.

After all, the Hyuga family is a large ninja clan with a heritage of more than a thousand years. The land and wealth it owns are huge numbers, and it is no big deal to provide for the squandering of a few members of the main family. As for the members of the Hyuga branch family, in fact, after deducting the cost for themselves and their descendants, they have to accept the control of the "Bird in a Cage" technique. All their expenses from childhood to adulthood are provided by the Hyuga family, and even their marriages are arranged by the family for men and women of appropriate age to meet and get married. It can be said that birth, aging, sickness and death are all taken care of by the Hyuga family.

Even Hyuga Hiashi, who wanted to change the current situation of his family, had to admit that the seemingly cruel [Bird in a Cage] technique also protected the members of the Hyuga branch family in a certain sense. Just looking at the fact that there was almost no outflow of [Baigan] from the Hyuga main family in the ninja world, and that Shimura Danzo, who had many outstanding members of the ninja clan as his subordinates, had no members of the Hyuga branch family, it was clear that everyone had no good way to deal with the [Bird in a Cage] technique.

However, after seeing the [Rinnegan] of his eldest daughter Hinata Hyuga and seeing that the Ninja Alliance was already on the verge of victory, Hyuga Hiashi wanted to use this opportunity to make some changes to the Hyuga family. These elders of the main family were the stumbling blocks that needed to be removed.

"Can't we let the people from the branch family participate..."

After hesitating for more than ten seconds, it cannot be said that the Hyuga clan is inferior to the several elders of the Uchiha clan. Finally, there was an elder who was slightly younger and habitually prepared to pull out the strong men of the Hyuga branch family as cannon fodder.

"The strong men from the branch family must stay behind to protect the younger generation and the young members of the main family. They are also the guarantee for the Hyuga family to choose to surrender in the future!"

Faced with the method thought out by the clan elders, Hyuga Hiashi, who had anticipated it, gave a perfectly reasonable answer, which was to make several clan elders' faces turn pale, but they could not refuse the order to join the war led by Hyuga Hiashi himself.

Not only did the Hyuga and Uchiha clans gather some of their elites to prepare for the war, but all the major ninja clans in Konoha Village also took action. Except for the ninja clan that could not even send out a formal jonin, the other ninja clans had at least one jonin ready to join the war. For example, the Uchiha clan sent the clan leader himself and his eldest son, with more than ten elite ninjas of the Uchiha clan. The Hyuga clan also had nine main family ninjas who had reached the level of jonin or even elite jonin. There were also jonins from ordinary ninja backgrounds who joined the war.

At least, as the number one ninja village in the ninja world, Konoha Village, the major ninja clans and ordinary ninjas have no intention of giving up immediately. They also have the courage to fight, not to mention the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya taking the lead in joining the war!

……

"Jiraiya, you can choose to lead everyone to surrender, no need to..."

Under the shining starry sky at night, on the Hokage Rock where the portraits of five Hokage were gathered, the former Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had a gloomy expression. Looking at his disciple Jiraiya wearing the Hokage's divine robe, he couldn't help but open his mouth again to persuade him.

"Sensei, I am grateful that you and the other Konoha advisors, including Shimura Danzo, are prepared to join the battle, but I have never considered the option of surrendering without a fight!"

Facing his teacher's persuasion, Jiraiya turned his head and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, interrupting his teacher's words rudely, and his words directly revealed his will. Then he looked at the lights of Konoha Village that had been turned off early, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes that turned into determination: "Even if the Raikage and Tsuchikage died heroically, the Hokage of Konoha Village would never choose to live in disgrace..."

When saying this, Jiraiya looked very calm. He naturally knew that he had chosen a dead end, but just as his teacher said, the top leaders of Konoha Village had actually sensed the defeat. People like Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo and others were prepared to just go through the motions before choosing to surrender.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo and other Konoha advisors or former Hokage all knew that if the Kage of a village took the lead in surrendering, a spit could kill people. Even if the villagers of Konoha Village knew that it was the Hokage who took the lead in surrendering and allowed them to survive, it did not prevent them from pinning the cause of the disappearance of Konoha Village on the Hokage who chose to surrender. Just like the polarized argument between Konoha White Fang and whether to give up the mission and bring back his companions, the villagers who had just talked a little were never willing to take that responsibility.

Jiraiya knew what consequences his choice would bring, but just like his discussion with the Great Toad Sage a few days ago, the other party made a final vague prophecy and died of exhaustion. He was originally puzzled by the other party's inexplicable new prophecy of "Everything is over, and a new era will begin", but now he already knew what it meant. It was nothing more than the end of the ninja village era and the transformation into a new ninja world alliance.

Now, Jiraiya is ready to use his own life to see how powerful the Ninja Alliance is. As he has already made up his mind to die, he doesn't care about the thoughts of his teacher and others!

Chapter 79 The Final Battle Begins

Konoha Village spent three days of peace in a strange atmosphere before it was sure that the Ninja Alliance had pacified other areas of the Land of Fire first. Its main force was like a giant spreading net that directly enveloped Konoha Village but surrounded it without attacking.

Under normal circumstances, Konoha Village, as the ninja village of the Fire Country, would have taken the initiative to attack and repel the Ninja Alliance that invaded the Fire Country. However, that was obviously beyond the capabilities of Konoha Village. Even the previously powerful coalition camp had been defeated, leaving only Konoha Village. It had also lost tens of thousands of elite ninja troops and elite ninjas such as Uchiha Shisui and Hatake Kakashi.

Even if the current Konoha Village, if it were to be extremely militaristic, could still muster more than 50,000 ninja soldiers to go to the battlefield (as for the quality, they could not be guaranteed), but facing the destruction of the other four major ninja villages and five major countries, even those small countries and small ninja villages have become history. If the old man of Konoha Village alone had to face the unfathomable Ninja Alliance, the consequence would be that Konoha Village, along with all the major ninja clans, ninjas, and villagers would all be destroyed. This was naturally not the wish of Jiraiya and others.

Therefore, when Konoha Village just learned that the Ninja Alliance had raided the Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning, it was ready to mobilize the army and join the battle. However, it immediately received news that the joint defense line was broken and the border ninja army was annihilated. Even the Earth Kingdom and the Rock Village surrendered a day later. Konoha Village's war preparations came to an abrupt end. By the time the capital of the Fire Kingdom was breached, the top leaders of Konoha Village had actually reached a unanimous opinion to surrender.

Of course, Konoha Village would not surrender without a fight. What they chose was Jiraiya, the advisors and the ninja clan leaders to lead at least half of their elite troops to fight the Ninja Alliance. Regardless of the outcome, they would choose to let the people of Konoha Village surrender. Except for Jiraiya who had already decided to die, the others wanted to see the strength of the other side.

However, the Ninja Alliance did not rashly attack Konoha Village. Konoha Village took advantage of the three days of peace to explain the situation to the middle and lower-level ninjas and villagers, and waited for the Ninja Alliance to agree to the surrender demands they put forward!

"Sure enough, the Ninja Alliance still agreed to Konoha's final battle, which is a good thing!"

Looking at the reply letter in his hand, which was specially sent by the envoy of the Ninja Alliance, and even on it were the signatures of his two former teammates, Jiraiya couldn't help but have a flash of strangeness in his eyes, but then he reacted and looked seriously at the people who were summoned. His tone seemed calm, but it made people feel a little bit of fighting spirit.

At this time, Jiraiya had already changed into a set of armor. It was not the chakra armor prepared by the Ninja Alliance for the middle and lower-level combat forces, but an ancient armor made of rare chakra metal. Its main function was to amplify the power of the wearer's ninjutsu and provide quite good protection. Even if a Kage-level strongman wore it, it would have a certain effect. The only drawback was that the chakra metal was expensive and scarce. This set of armor was once the legacy of the Senju clan.

The other people present, including the former Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, totaled more than eighty people, but the lowest among them were all ninjas with formal jonin strength. The strongest Jiraiya, the former three Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Fugaku, and Uchiha Itachi were all Kage-level strongmen, and now they all had solemn expressions. Although there was a high risk for them to participate in this battle, it was also a way to show their strength in front of the Ninja World Alliance.

Jiraiya crushed the letter in his hand into pieces. No one else, including Sarutobi Hiruzen, said anything. He looked up and looked around at everyone. He was the first to step into the room and gave everyone else a final chance to leave:

"Then, all those who are willing to join the battle, follow me to the agreed battlefield!"

……

Outside of Konoha Village, the elite ninja army of the Ninja World Alliance stayed at a distance of 20 kilometers, divided into four sides and surrounded Konoha Village. The large number of airships and chakra chariots were heavy military equipment that could not conceal their traces.

Even if Konoha Village is prepared to fight to the death and can mobilize tens of thousands of ninja soldiers to the battlefield, the elite ninja soldiers of the Ninja Alliance, with a total number of more than 20,000, can definitely destroy Konoha Village in a short period of time. Whether it is from the sequence of top powerhouses or ordinary ninjas, the Ninja Alliance has an absolute advantage. Konoha Village also knows this, otherwise it would not choose to surrender.

If there is a chance of winning, or the gap with the opponent is not too big, Konoha Village will naturally not have any idea of ​​surrendering. As the leader of the five major ninja villages, there is still a sense of pride in Konoha Village. Even in the Ninja World War and facing the siege of several major ninja villages, they can still muster morale and fight with them. But this does not mean that Konoha ninjas are pure fools. It is also very common for ninjas to choose to retreat when estimating the enemy's threat.

It is obvious that the Ninja Alliance, which easily destroyed the five major countries and the four major ninja villages, is an invincible enemy in the eyes of Konoha Village. What's more, there is only one brother left in Konoha Village. No matter from which aspect, it can't be the opponent of the Ninja Alliance. Even if it is lucky enough to repel the Ninja Alliance once, it will be killed by the endless stream of Ninja Alliance soldiers, not to mention that there are also many strong people in the Ninja Alliance.

Under such circumstances, everyone in Konoha Village accepted the option of surrender. As for the Ninja Alliance, it was Li Mo who spoke personally and agreed to Konoha Village's surrender and challenge. Otherwise, they would have to take force and destroy the entire Konoha Village.

"That guy Jiraiya, finally made this choice..."

In a camp of the Ninja Alliance, Tsunade looked in the direction of Konoha Village with a complicated expression. She didn't know how to evaluate the choice made by Jiraiya, her former teammate who had a crush on her, and it was difficult for her to evaluate it.

After all, the [Seed of the Fiery Sun] that Tsunade fused with made her loyalty to Li Mo unquestionable, but it would not have a negative impact on her personal consciousness and ability. Tsunade was once a teammate of Jiraiya and Orochimaru, and had experienced many missions and even participated in the Second Ninja World War. Naturally, she knew Jiraiya's character and understood that this guy had almost no resistance to women in the past, but once he made a decision in his heart, he would carry it out without hesitation.

Furthermore, Tsunade also has complicated feelings towards Konoha Village. As the granddaughter of the first Hokage, she does not want to launch an attack on Konoha Village. It seems that declaring surrender with a battle now is the best outcome?

"We all know Jiraiya's character. He must be determined to die. But the old man and Danzo are probably thinking of surrendering while they're victorious!"

After hearing Tsunade's words, no one else around interrupted. It was Orochimaru, who was once one of the three Konoha ninjas and is now an S-rank rebel ninja and the head of the scientific research department of the Ninja World Alliance, who took over the conversation. He had changed into a white coat and casual clothes, which were necessary for a mad scientist, but looking at him who gave people a sense of deterrence, he changed the subject: "However, it is not surprising that the various ninja clans made such a choice. They would not fight to the death unless they were in desperate situations..."

As one of the top leaders of the Ninja Alliance, Orochimaru could naturally see the intelligence information about the situation in Konoha Village transmitted by the shadow soldiers who were not exposed. He certainly understood that Konoha Village seemed to be surrendering and preparing those elite troops for a good fight.

To put it simply, apart from Jiraiya himself who was truly prepared to die on the spot, the major ninja clans and civilian jonin of Konoha Village were actually prepared to demonstrate their own value. For example, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo who chose to participate in the war also had this intention. Otherwise, if they really wanted to surrender unconditionally, the major ninja clans and those jonin would not rashly participate in such a battle. They were simply demonstrating their value and fighting for a better future.

After all, they are all ninjas who have experienced fighting and slaughter. Even if the ninja clan leader of Konoha Village and Sarutobi Hiruzen and others have defects in management ability and vision, they are not stupid enough to think that they will get the same treatment once they surrender to the Ninja Alliance.

Haven't you seen that during the Ninja World Wars and missions, when the ninjas on missions encounter hostile ninjas, they are not strong enough and are captured as prisoners. Most of those worthless ninja captives are tortured for information, or in extreme cases, they are sent to some dangerous experiments. However, valuable and prestigious ninja captives can get good treatment, especially medical ninjas and bloodline limit ninjas.

Even if the Mist Village, which is known for its ruthless methods, captured medical ninjas or ninjas with bloodline limits from a hostile village, the former would force the other party to rescue their own wounded, and the treatment would even be relatively good. For example, if a ninja with a bloodline limit was captured, they would even see if they could allow their own village to obtain that bloodline.

When facing the Ninja Alliance, the top leaders of Konoha Village all have their own thoughts, but except for the Hyuga and Yamanaka families who are sure of themselves, many ninja clans, including the Uchiha clan, do not know whether they will be broken up and split up if they surrender, and whether their former wealth and inheritance will be taken away. Especially the Sarutobi family led by Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Root led by Shimura Danzo, it is obvious that they will not have the benefits they had in Konoha Village, and how much they can get will depend on their individual performance.

It can be said that Jiraiya's choice of the final battle was actually a decision he made after receiving the news that the Iwagakure surrendered and the Third Tsuchikage died on the spot. However, compared with his determination to end the history of Konoha Village with his life, the most important reason why the major ninja clans and even ordinary jonin were willing to follow him into the war was to preserve the family, and even to let Li Mo help clean up some outdated antiques.

In this case, it is no wonder that Orochimaru has such a slightly sarcastic tone. Those ninjas cannot say anything for the sake of the entire family's stance, but compared with Jiraiya's own awe-inspiring fighting spirit for the end of Konoha Village, it can only make people feel that there is nothing to say.

"This is not surprising. Grandpa and second grandpa have tried, but the ninja clan is still the ninja clan!"

Tsunade, who looked a little sad, sighed deeply about this topic. She had naturally seen Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju when she was a child, and knew that Konoha Village was originally composed of civilians from various ninja clans. Later, three generations of Hokage tried to break up the ninja clans, but except for the Senju clan which disbanded and integrated into Konoha Village, other ninja clans definitely had advantages over civilian ninjas, unless they had few populations and were destroyed in wars. Even the Sarutobi clan used the Hokage to seek personal gain.
