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

If it's the former, it's fine, but if it's the latter, it will be troublesome.

"Danzo, are you coming over?"

Then he thought of his old friend again. Sarutobi Hiruzen really wanted him to join the battle, so that the two of them could definitely win the battle by cooperating with each other.

"Why are you so obsessed with the position of Hokage?"

Sighing inwardly, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that Danzo was obsessed with the position of Hokage, and that was where their conflict stemmed from, but the intensity of this obsession was beyond his expectations.

If Danzo Shimura had not been so obsessed with the position of Hokage, the close cooperation between the two of them would have been enough to solve any problem, and things would not have come to this.

Now Danzo Shimura is completely out of control and he can't even find anyone. It's impossible to negotiate with him, forcing him to use the trump card of the Impure World Reincarnation Army in advance.

Pit!

Chapter 250 Both sides suffer losses

The Impure World Reincarnation army used by Sarutobi Hiruzen not only shocked the Konohagakure and the Four Villages Alliance, but also some beings who were observing secretly.

"You are worthy of being the Third Hokage!"

Uchiha Fugaku punched the tree trunk beside him angrily. He had never thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen actually had such a powerful trump card.

Not to mention that the family's elite were wiped out, even if they hadn't been wiped out, their chances of winning against such a large army of the dead would not be high, and it was not known whether this was the limit of what Sarutobi Hiruzen could control.

And among those dead, the Second and First Hokage are not there yet, they are the most powerful ones.

If those two were to be resurrected, especially the first Hokage, even if he could not unleash all of his pre-birth strength, he would definitely not be their match.

After all, he was a super strong man who killed Uchiha Madara who was controlling the Nine-Tails with his own strength.

Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen's trump card has finally been forced out, and the four major ninja villages should be the most troubled by this.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

Under the shade of a tree in another direction, Hyuga Hiashi, who had only one Rinnegan left, was watching the entire battlefield, feeling extremely angry.

He also noticed that something was wrong with Sarutobi Hiruzen's previous behavior. It was obvious that the other party was waiting for someone, but no one showed up.

Considering the sudden attack by Otsutsuki Shari on himself, it goes without saying who he is waiting for.

The two of them were indeed in collusion, and he was sold out by Sarutobi Hiruzen and lured out of Konoha to be hunted down by Otsutsuki Shari.

It might even be the bargaining chip for Otsutsuki Shari to join the war this time, which is really hateful.

I, Hinata Hiashi, will take note of this!

At the same time in another direction, there was a young girl gritting her teeth in hatred, but what she hated was not the Third Hokage who mobilized the Impure World Reincarnation army, but the purple-black Buddha statue.

That feeling couldn't be wrong. It was the star energy of their village. That person must have stolen the stars of their village.

Tian Cun Hao didn't know that he had been targeted by a young girl. He was concentrating on controlling the Wuji Buddha statue and fighting against the Thunder God's clone.

Yeyue Ai and others were also around, using the huge size of the Wujitian Buddha statue as a foundation to rush into the Impure World Reincarnation Army and explode from the inside.

The Cloud Ninjas that were brought along also followed behind to pack up the dead whose bodies were broken and waiting to be restored, cooperating very well.

However, compared to the Cloud Ninja, the ninjas of the Sand Village are very passive and miserable. They are also the main target of the Impure World Reincarnation army.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew very well that this was the territory of the Sand Village. Only by severely damaging or even destroying the Sand Village Ninja Army could he retake the front line of River Country and intimidate the Wind Country.

The Cloud Ninja, Mist Ninja, and Rock Ninja are just guest troops. There are not many of them, and it is impossible for them to occupy this place, so there is no need to worry.

Of course, it is also important to strangle the strong men in the three villages, so that there will be less trouble later.

Jiraiya and the others also understood this truth, and this had even been agreed upon beforehand, to give priority to killing the Sand Village ninjas and retaking the defense line of Kikyoyama Castle.

Under such internal and external problems, the Sand Village Ninja Army suffered heavy losses and the number of casualties soared.

Although they couldn't see clearly due to the darkness, the Third Kazekage and the others were also very anxious.

It’s just that the Impure World Reincarnation is too difficult to defeat. The opponent possesses almost infinite chakra and frequently releases big moves. Although you can defend yourself, it is very difficult to defeat and seal your opponent.

The war could only remain stalemated like this, with both sides engaging in a bloody battle of consumption.

Hanzo, who had been spreading poison outside to build a defense line, had already made a big circle, forming a poison gas isolation circle with a diameter of over a thousand meters, and it was still getting thicker, preventing many people from escaping.

Unless you fly away from a high altitude, or use earth escape techniques to lurk at a very long distance, or use protective clothing that can cover the entire body, or use chakra creations to wrap yourself up and send you out, such as Jiraiya's lava giant, or space ninjutsu that can move in space.

These five escape routes are destined to be satisfied by few people, making this place a desperate place.

The fight lasted the entire night. There were shouts, screams, the sound of detonating tags, the sound of ninjutsu and ninja tool fighting, one after another, and it never stopped.

It did not weaken until the sun rose, and the original forest became a mess, with all the trees destroyed in various ways.

The moment the morning sun shone down, both sides separated tacitly. Everyone was breathing heavily, their clothes soaked with sweat and blood, some of their own and some of others'.

There was even one person with someone's intestines hanging on his body, which tasted quite sour.

But no one cares about those things at this time, they have all reached their limits.

In comparison, the faces of the Third Kazekage and others looked very unhappy, because they only solved and sealed half of the Impure World Reincarnation army, and they were all cannon fodder at the Jonin level, and none of the real Kage-level powerhouses were sealed.

While there were still many strong men and ninja troops left in Konoha, the coalition forces of the four villages suffered heavy losses, especially the Sand Village Ninja Army, which only had a few hundred people left.

"Who on earth invented this forbidden technique? It's too shameless."

Ohnoki, who was also panting, rubbed his aching lower back. He really didn't understand the principle behind this forbidden technique. The setting of infinite chakra was too ridiculous.

Sensei Wu's strength is not as good as it was when he was alive, at most he only has 80% of his strength, but with the help of the seemingly endless chakra he can release Dust Release at will.

Even if he was stronger, especially with the blessing of the magic spell, he still couldn't do anything to him.

Up to now, the teacher is still in good condition, but my chakra is almost exhausted.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot possibly have such talent."

The Third Raikage also put on a solemn and fearful expression. In order to make this expression, he practiced in front of the mirror for a long time before coming here before he passed Dodai's approval.

"It should be the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. He is very good at developing new ninjutsu."

The Third Mizukage spoke up and mentioned a person. He was the oldest among the four and was of the same generation as many of the Second Kage. He also had dealt with Senju Tobirama during the first Five Kage Summit and knew more about him.

"No wonder the Second and First Hokage are missing. Is the Third Hokage worried that the two will lift this control and clean up the clan, or is he with the Senju clan?"

The Third Kazekage suddenly realized that he had been wondering why the two previous Kages of Konoha were not there. With Sarutobi Hiruzen's strength, he should not be able to control such a strong man.

"Kazekage, this is your home ground. What do you say we should do? Fight or retreat. I and the Hidden Cloud Village will accompany you to the end."

The Third Raikage looked at the Third Kazekage and said that he would accompany him to the end.

We are allies after all!

This sentence touched the Third Kazekage deeply. When it comes to alliance, the Hidden Cloud Village is still reliable and powerful.

But it made Ohnoki and the Third Mizukage want to curse. They had already reached their limits, and many ninjas from their village had been killed, and the rest were all injured.

On the other hand, the support team of the Hidden Cloud Village is relatively complete, but there is no way, because they are too powerful, and there are two Uzumaki ninjas who are very restrained against such an army of the dead.

"Can you please invite more Uzumaki ninjas to join the battle?"

Glancing at the two red-haired girls in the Cloud Ninja team, the Third Kazekage asked in a low voice.

To deal with such a large army of the dead, they must have Sealed Ninjas to put the finishing touches. There are not many Sealed Ninjas in their Sand Village, and they are not very powerful, so they have to rely on the Ninjas of the Uzumaki clan.

“I can’t order them to join the war. This was also the covenant with the Uzushiogakure that their clansmen would not be sent to the battlefield. Kushina and the other two took the initiative to join the war.

But I can dispatch all the Sealed Ninjas in our village to provide support.

Thunder God, send a message to the village and arrange for three hundred Sealed Ninjas to be sent over as soon as possible.

Yes! Bring another batch of medical supplies and a hundred medical ninjas. "

The Third Raikage still performed very well. Although he rejected the support of the Uzumaki Ninja, he said that he would dispatch the village's own Sealed Ninja and that they would be delivered as soon as possible.

There is also support from medical ninjas and medical supplies, and they can take the opportunity to learn the medical technology of the Sand Village, especially in pharmacy.

Under the control of Tamura Hao, the Thundergod clone nodded and signaled to Fukai behind him to use telepathy to send a message back to the village as soon as possible.

"Thank you!"

The Third Kazekage thanked him gratefully and then looked at Ōnoki and the Third Mizukage.

"Konoha is not only our Sunagakure's enemy, but also everyone's enemy. You two don't want such an army of the dead to appear on your side, right?

Moreover, the Third Hokage controlled our previous Hokage, and he must have learned many secrets of our four major ninja villages, perhaps including the training method of Dust Release. Sarutobi Hiruzen seems to be an all-round ninja with all attributes, and is also known as a ninjutsu professor who has mastered all ninjutsu. With his ability, he should be able to learn Dust Release."

"We can dispatch half of the sealed ninjas in the village to assist in the battle."

His old face darkened and Ohnoki had no choice but to agree.

The strength of this army of the dead was indeed beyond his expectations. It would be difficult to deal with them even if they united together, let alone a single ninja village.

The best option is to start a war here now and gather people to destroy it.

In addition, the information mentioned by the Third Kazekage was leaked, which was what he was most worried about.

It would be dangerous if Sarutobi Hiruzen learned Dust Release.

"We from the Hidden Mist Village will also dispatch half of the Sealed Ninjas here, but it will take time."

The Third Mizukage finally expressed his position, but he seemed very cautious, fearing that Konoha would attack him halfway.

They didn't even plan to take the artificial river, but instead planned to take a longer route by sailing.

It is less likely to be discovered and ambushed in the vast ocean.

In just a moment, a flash of lightning shot across the sky from the northeast, fell to the ground and revealed a red gourd.

Uzumaki Kushina quickly stepped forward and unsealed the red gourd, spewing out four hundred figures carrying huge scrolls, which were the three hundred sealed ninjas and one hundred medical ninja reinforcements from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Seeing the 400 Cloud Ninja reinforcements, the four-village coalition breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of joy on their faces.

The Konoha ninjas on the opposite side felt depressed. The main reason why they were able to gain the advantage in this battle was because of the powerful army of the dead.

The only way to deal with the army of the dead is to use sealing techniques, but now there are four hundred Kumogakure ninjas coming, which is fatal.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was hiding deep in the earth, felt a headache when he saw the 300 Cloud Ninjas carrying the sealing scrolls through the Impure World Reincarnation. He was really having a headache now.

His chakra was not infinite, and forcibly controlling more than a dozen Kage-level warriors to engage in high-intensity combat consumed a lot of energy, especially the mental strength, which gave him a splitting headache.

The Mangekyō Sharingan on his chest was also bleeding, a sign of overload.

He is almost at his limit now.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, today's battle ends here, we will fight again another day."

The Third Kazekage discussed the situation with Chiyo and decided to temporarily cease fire. Although the Konoha ninjas on the opposite side were not feeling well, they had also reached their limit.

If the fighting continues, there will be no result except mutual destruction. A temporary ceasefire is the best option.

He also needed to dispatch ninjas from the village. The wounded here also needed to be treated as soon as possible. Then the samurai corps from the daimyo's mansion would soon arrive.

Everyone in Konoha breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the Third Kazekage wanted to temporarily cease fighting.

Although they have the help of the army of the dead, their consumption and casualties are also considerable, so a ceasefire is the best option.

In this way, both sides dispatched medical ninjas to search the battlefield for their own wounded and bring them back for treatment as quickly as possible.

As for those who have already died, I didn't care about them. I can't take care of them now.

After simply treating the seriously injured, the Konoha ninjas left under the leadership of Jiraiya, who even used lava to burn a passage through the outer poison gas defense line.

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen, he never showed up and left directly from underground using the earth escape technique.

Anyway, he prepared enough oxygen cylinders so that he could stay underground for a long time.

There was no other way. He was also afraid that the coalition forces of the four villages would launch an unethical sneak attack and use killing him to destroy the Impure World Reincarnation army, especially releasing the dead from the four villages. At that time, those dead would definitely turn around and attack and kill them.

Therefore, one's own safety is very important. One must never give the other party a chance to attack, especially Uchiha Hikaru who possesses the space eye technique. One must be on guard against him.

"Clean up the battlefield and collect those fine ninja tools."

After the Konoha ninjas and the army of the dead left, the Third Raikage spoke to his own ninjas.

Although they did not ask for any commission from the Sand Village as a proactive friendly support, the fine ninja tools containing special metals obtained on the battlefield belonged to them, and they still had a big gap in this regard.

Not only the forging of ninja swords, but also the forging of some ninja tools requires it, especially chakra-conducting metals.

The Third Kazekage and the Sand Ninjas didn't say much about this, and even took the initiative to cooperate.

The support from the Hidden Cloud Village is really powerful, and they have been fighting on the front line. Now they have immediately sent three hundred sealing ninjas and one hundred medical ninjas to support them.

It’s not too much to take away those fine ninja tools, and people only want these and won’t touch anything else.
