Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swordsmen Begins from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Although they didn't want to admit it, they lost a war that they couldn't lose.

After planning so much and losing so much, I still couldn't hold on to the end and win.

Watching the figures of those people go away, Tamura Hao controlled the Thunder God clone to fall straight down. The chakra of Thunder Escape Technique on his body also dissipated, and the temporarily closed wounds also spurted out blood, staining his clothes and armor red.

I used practical actions to show that I was just pretending and that I had reached my limit.

Seeing the Thunder God fall like this, Huangtu and his companions actually breathed a sigh of relief.

The performance of the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village was too brilliant and too powerful this time, especially the Thunder God, who was not only powerful, but his chakra seemed infinite, which made them all wonder whether he was the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki.

Fortunately, the other party also has his limits, and he was just holding on before.

They all knew the nature of the current alliance and that they might become enemies one day in the future. If the Hidden Cloud Village behaved too unstoppable, their future would be difficult.

Seeing Thunder God fall, Yeyue Ai and others hurried forward. Uzumaki Vanilla quickly treated the wound, and then Uchiha Hikaru used Flying Thunder God to take him back to the camp for further treatment.

After simply treating his own injuries, Yeyue Ai directed those Cloud Ninja boys who were still in good condition to clean up the battlefield, giving priority to collecting the bodies of the Hyuga ninjas.

Of course, they did not monopolize the white eyes that were dug out. They only took away a quarter of them. Huangtu and a few others stepped forward and each took a quarter. This was agreed upon beforehand.

The white eyes are a scarce strategic resource and very precious.

But the losses this time were also huge, especially for Huangtu who came as reinforcements, he was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. The last time, his own Four Tails was taken away by someone. Konoha still has such means, damn it!

Chapter 226 Cultivating White Zetsu

Not to mention the gains of the four villages, on the other side, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others were taken back to the camp by flying ninja beasts, but what they saw was a mess. The entire camp was destroyed, there was no one in sight, and even no corpses could be seen.

This scene made several people's faces change slightly. After Yutarai Zixiao, who had the ability to perceive, confirmed that there was no one in the camp and the surroundings, he landed to check and search.

"There is no body left, not even a trace of blood. It doesn't look like it was done by Shimura."

Several people searched for a while but found nothing. This was very wrong.

Even if the coalition forces of the four villages sent people to attack and kill, it would be impossible for them to do it so cleanly without leaving any bloodstains. This is more like destroying the body and covering up all traces.

"Who?"

Yutarai Zixiao, who had been resting and on guard outside the camp, suddenly looked towards the woods ahead and heard some noise.

"Lord Mitarai Shixiao, it's us."

Three figures jumped out from the woods, they were Nara Shikaku and his two companions.

"You guys went to the battlefield?"

After confirming the identities of the three people, Yutarai Zixiao had some guesses.

"We just watched from a distance and didn't get close."

Nara Shikaku replied, his eyes falling towards the camp.

Previously, he wanted to obtain more intelligence about the four-village coalition, so he persuaded two teammates to follow them and observe from a distance. They were also shocked by the brutality of the battle.

But what's going on in this camp?

There are still hundreds of wounded soldiers guarding the camp. How could the camp become like this?

Could it be that the four-village coalition still has the spare capacity to arrange manpower for a surprise attack?

"What's going on at the camp?"

Qiu Daodingzuo looked at the ruined camp in shock. It was fine when he left, so why did it become like this when he came back?

"It's a good thing you followed me to the battlefield, otherwise you would have died if you stayed in the camp."

With a sigh, Yutarai Zixiao couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

This defeat is just the beginning. The following wars will become more brutal. If things go wrong, Konoha and even the Land of Fire may be destroyed, and these people will naturally not escape the fate of dying in battle.

I don’t care about it, but Hongdou is still young and has a bright future.

"The four-village coalition has gone too far!"

Yamanaka Haiyi looked at the ruined camp, his eyes turned red and he was very angry.

"It may not be done by the four-village coalition."

Yutarashi Zixiao shook his head slightly, he also noticed something was wrong.

"Not necessarily?"

Akimichi Chouza and Yamanaka Inoichi were stunned and didn't understand what this meant.

"Zuo Ding, Haiyi, you stay here to help Lord Zixiao guard the outside. I'll go in and take a look."

Nara Shikaku seemed to understand something. He stopped his teammates who wanted to ask more questions and asked them to stay to take care of Mitarai Shishao while he walked into the camp.

"Listen more to that kid Lu Jiu in the future. Don't ask too many questions or say too much about certain things. It won't do any harm to you and your family."

Yutarai Zixiao gave a reminder and then continued to be alert to the surroundings.

Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza nodded as if they understood what he was saying, and then they began to be on guard in the surroundings.

Nara Shikaku, who entered the camp to observe, soon met up with Namikaze Minato. To be more precise, it was Namikaze Minato who came to him on his own initiative.

"I'm so glad you're okay, Shikaku!"

Minato Namikaze was so happy that he wanted to cry when he finally saw a living person in the camp. This battle had put too much pressure on him. Many familiar people had died, and they couldn't even collect the bodies.

"I and Hai Yi Ding Zuo followed them to the battlefield and observed from afar. Unexpectedly, we escaped."

Nara Shikaku looked at everything around him, feeling terrified but also relieved.

"Can you guess who did this?

Minato Namikaze asked angrily, hating the murderer who destroyed the camp.

You have to know that those who were left behind were all injured, and some were even in a coma, but now they are all gone.

This practice has seriously crossed the bottom line.

"There are three possibilities. Either it was someone in the village, or it was done by the coalition of four villages. They wanted to make us suspicious of the inside and disrupt our own position, or there was a third party involved."

After a moment of silence, Nara Shikaku stated three possibilities, but he couldn't judge what they were specifically. The other party was too cruel and left nothing behind.

But none of this matters because they have new troubles.

Although the four-village coalition won a tragic victory in this battle, it was a victory after all, and the village was no longer able to retake the peninsula.

The previous conquest of the north by the Hidden Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning was only the beginning. Now that the Hidden Mist Village has successfully occupied the southern peninsula, the nature of this Ninja World War will completely change.

This is no longer just a war in the ninja world, but a war between countries, which will be even more cruel and brutal.

"Minato, grow up quickly, the future of the village needs you."

After saying this in a low voice, Nara Shikaku turned and left. He needed to think about more things.

He is very optimistic about Minato Namikaze, and his father is also optimistic about him. It can be said that he has unlimited potential and has the hope of becoming a super strong man like the first Hokage.

Only Minato can put an end to the chaos within the village, otherwise if this continues the entire Konoha will be destroyed by those people.

On the other side, Sarutobi Hiruzen, after confirming that there were no survivors and no clues in the camp, ordered to use the flying ninja beasts to return to the village.

There is no value or foundation for them to stay here any longer, and everyone is injured and in very bad condition. Even though Tsunade's medical ninjutsu is top-notch, it is not omnipotent. They need to return to the village as soon as possible to receive further treatment.

After returning to the village, Tsunade used the equipment of the village hospital to conduct a detailed examination of the few people except Sarutobi Hiruzen, and further treated their injuries.

Orochimaru also came to help, mainly to study Jiraiya's body.

Although it was previously understood that one could obtain that kind of bloodline limit with the help of transplanted limbs, it was only theoretical. Jiraiya was the first successful case and was very worthy of research.

Tsunade ignored this, used medical ninjutsu to deeply repair Jiraiya's injuries, and then turned and left.

"Tsunade!"

Jiraiya opened his mouth to say something, but Tsunade ignored him and walked out of the ward.

She didn't want to talk to anyone now, and she even came to participate in the war for the sake of the village.

"Stop yelling, she won't pay any attention to you, a fool, unless the teacher dies."

Orochimaru, who was shaving his legs, glanced at him with disdain. In his opinion, he was just a fool, and a greedy fool at that.

If you don't want to give up anything, you will end up losing everything.

"Orochimaru, you've changed too."

Jiraiya glared over and could feel a huge change in this teammate.

This made him very worried, as he felt that this close friend seemed to be getting further and further away from him.

As for the matter between Tsunade and her teacher, he had nothing to say. One was the person he liked, and the other was the mentor who taught him skills. How could he choose?

"Some changes have taken place, but you, a fool, are the only one who hasn't changed. I envy you sometimes."

Orochimaru was quite impressed by this. Both he and Tsunade were constantly changing, but this idiot was the only one who remained the same as before.

But he only feels envious sometimes. He will continue to pursue his own truth and will not stop.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? You're not going to chop off my legs and slice them for research?"

Suddenly, he saw Orochimaru taking out a shining scalpel, and Jiraiya was so surprised that he almost jumped up from the bed.

What does this bastard want to do?

"Don't move. I'm just taking some cells from different parts for comparative research."

Orochimaru looked calm, he attached great importance to this material.

"Just taking some cells?"

Jiraiya heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his legs were not going to be chopped off.

"It includes skin cells, muscle cells, nerve cells, periosteum cells, bone marrow cells, and some bones. It will be a little painful at best, but there won't be any problem."

As he cut off a small piece of skin cells, Orochimaru talked about the cells he wanted to extract.

"And bones and marrow?"

Jiraiya's face turned green, you might as well cut off my legs.

"It just hurts a little, it will pass if you bear with it."

After further extracting a small piece of muscle cells, Orochimaru took out a latest model electric drill with a 20-centimeter-long thin drill bit specially used for drilling bones.

"Wait, aren't you going to give me some anesthesia?"

Seeing that Orochimaru was about to start drilling, Jiraiya was even more horrified.

"Anesthetics can affect those cells and therefore my observations."

Orochimaru's expression remained calm. In his eyes, Jiraiya was just a piece of material, no different from the corpses he had dissected before.

"We are friends who grew up together. How can you be so cruel and cold to me?"

I won't do this anymore. Do you have any humanity at all?

"You talk too much nonsense."

Orochimaru became a little impatient, and several long snakes sprang out from his sleeves, wrapped around Jiraiya's body and tied it up, then forcibly drilled holes in it to extract his bone marrow and bones.

"what!"

The screams like a pig being slaughtered suddenly rang out in the hospital, making everyone shiver.

After getting the cell sample, Orochimaru walked out of the room with satisfaction, leaving Jiraiya who looked like he had been beaten to a pulp.

Without any delay, while the cells were still warm... no, still very active, we went to the hospital's medical laboratory to observe and study them with the help of the equipment inside.

"You also transplanted my grandfather's cells?"

Tsunade appeared beside him at some point and questioned him coldly.

"You can say that."

Orochimaru did not deny that he could deceive others, but he could never deceive Tsunade.

"The bodies of my great grandfather, second grandfather and grandmother were stolen. Was it Shimura Danzo who did it?"

His expression became even colder. The clan had long discovered that the bodies of the three elders had been stolen, and had been investigating secretly, but without much success. They could not determine who did it for the time being.

But there are only a few people who are capable and motivated, and among them, Danzo Shimura is the most suspicious.
