Chapter 491 Heading to the Battlefield

Mimura Yemaki looked solemn and expressed his opinion without hesitation.

But this is also reasonable. Fighting in a foreign country, and in the endless loess plains, for Konoha ninjas, there is almost no experience at all.

Moreover, in fact, there are not many Konoha guards in the northwest area. This war focuses more on fighting against the Kingdom of Thunder.

If the entire guard force is sent out to rescue a five-man team, if the enemy makes any big move, Konoha's defense line is likely to collapse.

"Intelligence shows that Iwagakure sent a large number of personnel to round up Nagato and the others."

"It's just a team of five, but it's so valued by the enemy!"

"Doesn't this just show the value of the five Nagatos? I don't believe you can't see it, Mimura!"

Fugaku said with a frown.

His fists clenched unconsciously.

His own son is now surrounded, and his life and death are unknown. The calmness on the surface does not mean that he can have no fluctuations in his heart.

"but."

Mimura still wanted to say.

But at this moment, Xia Le interrupted with a smile.

"Rescue is a must!"

"My four disciples, children of the Uchiha clan, are all surrounded."

“But it doesn’t require too many people to go.”

Hearing this, Mimura Yeju was stunned and immediately reacted: "I will organize a rescue team immediately."

Xia Le waved his hands, still smiling.

"unnecessary!"

He stood up slowly and walked out of the tent.

"I alone am enough!"

Mimura Yeju was stunned for a moment and was actually stunned.

It wasn't until the other party left that he turned around and looked at Fugaku.

"Elder Xia Le, do you really want one person?"

Fugaku frowned and said nothing.

"Facing Iwagakure's large army, Nagato and the others are afraid."

Mimura Yeju opened her mouth again but hesitated.

Fugaku suddenly raised his head and said coldly: "I believe Nagato and the others will be fine!"

Mimura Yejuan was stunned, and then said: "I will arrange the rescue team. Since you believe in them and Elder Xia Le, then take all countermeasures."

Then, he explained again.

"Fugaku, I have my own considerations in preventing the entire army from entering the Earth Kingdom. Once something goes wrong and Konoha's defense line collapses, you and I will be the sinners!"

Hearing this, Fugaku's expression softened slightly: "I understand!"

Of course, Konoha cannot put all its forces into the enemy's territory. Even if it does, the comparison of the forces between the two sides is not at all the same magnitude.

Fighting in other countries and defending within one's own borders are completely different concepts.

Therefore, although Fugaku sounded uncomfortable, he could understand Mimura Yemaki's words. Because he is also one of the commanders of this battle.

Mimura Yemaki quickly arranged a team responsible for rescue and response.

Afterwards, the two fell into silence in the tent.

"Clan Chief Fugaku and Elder Xia Le are going alone?"

Finally, Mimura Hazaki asked hesitantly.

He had certainly heard of Xia Le's name, but he had never seen his strength. But no matter how powerful he is, in his mind, it is impossible to face all the ninjas in a country.

"If it's him, there will be no problem!"

Hearing this, Fugaku relaxed his brows and said softly.

"ah?"

Mimura Yemaki was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that the other party believed in Xia Le's strength so much.

"Now, the only thing I'm worried about is whether Nagato and the others can survive before Xia Le arrives!"

Fugaku sighed.

Yes, he is not worried about Xia Le at all. Perhaps he was the only one in the whole village who knew about that man's strength.

Xia Le, who was able to defeat all the men who were once legendary and retreated, can be described as the strongest Uchiha in four words, that is, he is well-deserved!

"Yeah?"

Mimura Hazaki blinked.

He suddenly realized that maybe he had underestimated the power of the strongest Uchiha.

It's no wonder that when the other party proposed someone, Fugaku didn't even say a word to stop him.

Xia Le returned to the tent, carefully tied up the armor on his body, and then stepped out.

Just when he walked out of the tent, four figures knelt on one knee and appeared in front of him.

"Who are you?"

Xia Le frowned.

"For our compatriots trapped in the Kingdom of Earth, we are the rescue team for this mission!"

"Mimura-sama said, we follow your orders."

The leading chuunin said.

Xia Le was stunned for a moment, but without saying anything, he stepped towards the northwest border.

"Since it's a mission, then follow me closely."

Hearing this, the leading chuunin raised his head and said immediately: "Yes, Sir Xia Le!"

A group of five people quickly left the forest of Konoha and rushed into the Earth Kingdom area filled with loess.

It was completely empty here, with only strong wind and sand. The climate, environment and Konoha were almost two extremes.

"What are your names?"

Xia Le asked casually.

"Ikeda."

"Ojiang."

"Ikawa."

"Tominaga."

The four of them reported their names one after another. Xia Le nodded slightly and said nothing more.

He was not surprised to hear that his name was someone who had no presence in Konoha.

"After three kilometers forward, your mission will end."

After a moment, Xia Le suddenly said.

"What?"

The leader, Ikeda, looked up blankly.

"If we move forward, there is a high possibility that we will face a large force from Yanyin Village."

"And you, there is a great chance that you will never come back!"

Xia Le explained.

When the four of them heard this, their expressions changed slightly, but soon, the leader, Chuunin Ikeda, raised his head and said with a calm smile: "We accepted this mission without expecting to come back alive."

Xia Le was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

"The outside world says that Elder Xia Le treats us civilians differently."

"When I saw it today, it turned out to be true."

There was a hint of awe in the eyes of the four people in Ikeda.

Strong power may make people envious and fearful, but it cannot earn respect. But Xia Le's unintentional concern made the four of them feel very warm.

In the past, when they performed missions, no one would care about whether they came back alive or how serious their injuries were.

All the village cares about is whether the task is completed.

"Ninjas are just tools."

"Master Xia Le, please use us as much as you like."

Ikeda said with a smile.

The words were very calm, but there was no hesitation at all.

Xia Le fell silent and looked back at the four people behind him.

Like their names, their looks are ordinary and unremarkable. You can even see the anxiety and nervousness on the faces of three children in their teens behind Ikeda.

However, Xia Le could not see a trace of flinching in their eyes.

Ninjas are just tools! The meaning of existence is to perform tasks!

This sonorous and powerful sentence made Xia Le feel mixed.

He has been in the Uchiha clan for a long time, obsessed with studying the power of this world, and created new methods of absorbing natural energy.

But over the years, I have rarely observed or cared about the meaning of ninja existence in this world.

Including Nagato's three disciples, he only taught them strength and got along with them gently on weekdays.

For ninjas, perhaps his own disciples don't understand that deeply.

"I will not use you as a tool."

After a while, Xia Le spoke up.

When the four people from Ikeda heard this, their lips moved slightly and their eyes changed again.

After three kilometers, Xia Le suddenly stopped.

The other four people all stopped and looked at him doubtfully.

"You will hide here."

"Responsible for meeting us here."

Xia Le said lightly.

Ikeda suddenly raised his head: "You want to go alone?"

The other three genin also looked surprised and shocked.

"If I take you with me, you still need me to take care of you."

Xia Le said with a smile.

Then, he spoke again.

"Protect yourselves and meet me here. It is the task of the four of you from now on."

There was a pause.

"Besides, you are all real people!"

"It's not a tool!"

When the four of them heard this, their bodies trembled.

Ikedaichi gritted his teeth: "But!"

"obey orders!"

Xia Le shouted coldly.

Ikeda's expression changed, and he finally gritted his teeth and uttered one word: "Yes!"

And at the moment when the word was spoken, the respect in his eyes for the man in front of him surpassed everything else. Even the other person's back would become an extremely bright light in his life.

For the first time in his life, someone said such words to him.

And it is this kind of person who is rumored in the village to be the most despicable, shameless, naturally negative personality, cold and cruel Uchiha clan.

"Uh-huh!"

Almost in an instant, Xia Le's figure disappeared.

"Captain? Why don't we follow?"

"Master Xia Le is a good man, let's protect him."

"If you face Iwagakure alone, it will be difficult to survive. If we go up there, even if we can't exert much value, we can at least delay the enemy for a while, right?"

The three genin, Oe, Ikawa, and Tominaga, stared at their innocent, young eyes, and couldn't help but say aloud.

The brief interaction and communication made the three teenagers feel unprecedented warmth.

"Execute Lord Xia Le's order!"

Ikeda shouted coldly.

The three of them looked at each other and didn't insist anymore.

But his little eyes, looking in the direction where Xia Le disappeared, were still full of worry.

"The Uchiha clan seems to be different from the one in the legend."

Tominaga said suddenly.

"It's just that Sir Xia Le is so gentle and the kindest person I have ever seen."

The river is also the Tao.

"I think Master Xia Le is right. We are not tools, we are also human beings."

Ikawa Road.

"Rumors are just rumors. To know a person, you have to see what he does, not listen to what others say."

Ikeda said in a deep voice.

As a human being, he is already an adult of fifteen or sixteen years old, so naturally he has a shallower understanding of life than these children.

"Lord Xia Le, you are a man worthy of awe!"

Ikeda said again.

The three genin nodded in unison.

——

the other side.

Xia Le's feet were almost off the ground, and his whole body was pulled into a thin line by the wind, and he was quickly flying towards the location in Konoha's intelligence.

After the natural energy penetrates the whole body, the physique has completely reached the superhuman level, and as long as the energy in the meridians is agitated, unimaginable power will explode.

What's more worth mentioning is that he has all eight doors open, and the eight portals in his body can even expand or shrink at will, thereby controlling the speed and output of energy transportation throughout the body.

And this is naturally related to the World Tree inside the body.

Its mysterious composition is like opening up a vast world in the body, together with multiple energies of blood, organs, and spirit.

In this way, it can help Xia Le control this body perfectly.

And this, in his opinion, is the real immortal body.

"Uh-huh!"

As soon as his feet touched the ground, his body flew high into the air, riding on the wind, and a mysterious halo erupted from his whole body.

Between the eyebrows, the golden mark of the World Tree emerged.

At the same time, his eyes also changed rapidly. First they were blood-red kaleidoscopes, and then they were samsara eyes like tree rings.

Finally, with a flash of divine light, it transformed into two rounds of nine-magatama samsara eyes.

It was also at this moment that Xia Le's vision became endless and distant, and he glanced forward.

Places that were unclear in the distance were quickly zoomed in, magnified, and became clearly visible, and the vision increased in an extremely terrifying way.

Perception also increased in an instant, and he could see everything around him clearly.

After a few breaths, Xia Le, who was running at high speed, locked onto the battlefield where Nagato and others were in front.

At the same time, I also saw the Iwagakure troops that were about to arrive here from the territory of the Earth Kingdom, as densely packed as ants.

"Found it!"

A smile appeared on Xia Le's lips, and his body suddenly swooped away.

at the same time.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

Nagato stood on the ground with a cold face.

The violent repulsion caused all the surrounding rocks to fly away, and another large pit appeared on the ground.

"Tick tock!"

The sweat on his forehead fell down his chin and onto the ground.

The body also began to tremble continuously. Even after years of hard work and training into the Six-Style physique, it was still somewhat unsustainable under the opponent's massive crowd tactics.

The power of a village cannot be underestimated.

"The chakra in my body is reaching its limit!"

Nagato gritted his teeth and said in despair.

Raising his head, in Samsara's eyes, he could see more ninjas in the distance, surging in from all directions.

Obviously, the other party called for backup again.

Not far away, the expression of the dead man in the East was also extremely ugly, as if a family member had died.

The tenacity and terrifying power of the team in front of him frightened him.

Nearly a thousand ninjas lost a lot, but they still couldn't defeat the opponent.

"Lord Tsuchikage is here!"

At this moment, a figure walked over quickly and whispered quickly in his ear.

Dongseiren's face stiffened, but he soon relaxed again.

After a while, support from Iwagakure Village arrived and surrounded the entire battlefield.

The third generation of Tsuchikage quickly came to the East Dead Man.

"I'm sorry, Lord Tsuchikage, it's my fault that caused the village to suffer such heavy losses!"

The dead man from the East knelt down on one knee and cried out in pain.

Nagato was so powerful that at this moment, he could no longer hold his breath and burst into tears.

The Third Tsuchikage Onoki was completely speechless when he saw the situation on the field.

But soon, he gritted his teeth.

"The other party is the legendary Samsara Eye!"

"No matter how much loss there is, it's all normal!"

"Today, just capture him and get the secret of his eyes!"

"Then, no matter how big a loss it is."

Having said this, the three earth shadows took a deep breath and locked their gazes on Nagato, who was already close to his limit.

“It’s all worth it!”
