Chapter 2211: Retreat (4,000 Words)
"That's right!"
Seeing the Fourth Kazekage Rasa hesitating, Orochimaru answered what he wanted to ask before he finished speaking.
He was right.
That's what he thought!
"Gudong!"
When he heard Orochimaru interrupting his affirmative answer, Yondaifeng swallowed almost subconsciously, and his already stiff body seemed to become even stiffer.
One third of the tens of thousands of Kumogakure ninja disappeared overnight.
Five days later, the Fourth Raikage was seriously injured.
Of course it was no coincidence. It was obvious that the person who caused one-third of the tens of thousands of Kumogakure ninjas to disappear overnight was the person who seriously injured the Fourth Raikage.
And he couldn't think of anyone else who could defeat Kumogakure in six days.
"You mean..."
However, even so, he still couldn't believe it, even if he had already made a conclusion in his heart, even if he could conclude just by looking at Orochimaru's stiff expression and solemn eyes, he could be sure of Orochimaru without contacting Orochimaru's previous questioning. Who was he referring to, but at this time, the Fourth Kazekage Luosha still couldn't believe it.
In other words, he didn't want to believe it.
After all, there were tens of thousands of Kumogakure, one-third of whom were at least 2,000 or more. Moreover, within five days, they rushed to Kumogakure almost non-stop. The Fourth Raikage had never left Kumogakure at the end of the Third War. village.
That is to say, this power that caused tens of thousands of Kumogakure to disappear by a third, after destroying these Kumogakure, went straight to Kumogakure within five days, seriously injured the Fourth Raikage, and forced Kumogakure to sign a peace treaty.
Not to mention what kind of strength it takes to make more than two thousand Kumogakure disappear, or to seriously injure the Fourth Raikage, just to rush from the Konoha border to Kumogakure Village within five days, this speed is incredible.
Even if the army goes deep alone and marches day and night, it will take at least half a month to reach Yunyin Village.
This is also one of the main reasons why Kumogakure clearly has military strength second only to Konoha but not much worse, but it is often difficult to get the advantage it deserves in the great ninja wars.
The road is too far.
In addition, Kumogakure Village is mountainous, and marching is also quite difficult. From Kumogakure to the main battlefield, the ninjas are often very tired and often need to rest. Food and grass supplies are also extremely difficult to transport. Almost every war related to Kumogakure , Kumogakure often loses some excellent opportunities because he has to rest during the march, and he also has a headache for food and grass supplies. Every step must be careful, and the food and grass supplies may be cut off accidentally, and there is no way to continue fighting.
And now, in just five days, that person rushed from the Konoha border to Kumogakure Village. How fast is this?
No!
It’s not a matter of speed. Is this something humans can do?
This is a rapid march after killing two thousand people. No matter how strong it is, even Uchiha Nobuhiko, no, even Uchiha Madara can't kill two thousand Kumogakure silently and then run such a long distance.
Moreover, people like the Fourth Raikage were seriously injured. Although he had always thought that Raikage was a fool, there was no doubt about their strength. In a head-on confrontation, he might not be Raikage's opponent.
In a sense, in addition to not wanting to believe in this character's identity, he also couldn't believe in this character's strength.
"Yes, the only one who can do such a thing is Taki Chiba!"
Seeing that the Fourth Kazekage still couldn't believe it, Orochimaru understood and spoke.
There was only one person who killed two thousand Kumogakure in one night, severely wounded the Raikage five days later, and forced Kumogakure to end the war, and it could only be Taki Chiba.
That, Chiba Taki who was reported to be dead!
"But……"
After Orochimaru said this clearly, the Fourth Kazekage took a slight breath and paused for a long time. However, when the words came to his mouth, he still wanted to refute.
"Do you think that Taki Chiba can't do such a thing?"
However, this time, Orochimaru did not think that the Fourth Kazekage could not accept that this person was Taki Chiba.
It is true that Taki Chiba is absolutely a nightmare for the Fourth Kazekage, and even a nightmare for most ninjas who have experienced that era.
However, the person in front of him is the Fourth Kazekage after all. From his perspective, perhaps, he may not be able to accept a little person who has convinced himself that the nightmare of death is still alive at first. However, Orochimaru does not think that the Fourth Kazekage at this moment Under the hat of Kazekage Rasa, there was still a face that did not want to believe that Taki Chiba was still alive. Even when he talked about these things, when he vaguely mentioned Taki Chiba for the first time, the Fourth Kazekage I already believed it.
However, this Taki Chiba had too strong a deterrent effect on him. Although he believed it, instinctively, he was not willing to believe it.
And now, it has been made so clear that Orochimaru never believes that the dignified Shadow of One Village will not face this reality.
The reason why the Fourth Kazekage is still showing an unbelievable uncool attitude is probably, no, entirely because of the incident he mentioned.
Kill a thousand people in one night, and injure the thunder shadow in five days.
To be honest, the Taki Chiba they knew would never be able to do all of this.
Yes, the Taki Chiba known to Orochimaru and known to the Fourth Kazekage could not achieve such a feat.
This is the force of one person to force a village to bow its head, and it is not a small ninja village, nor is it just a big ninja village, but the Kumogakure village of Konoha after the Nine-Tails Rebellion in terms of strength!
There was no such thing as the strongest ninja village at that time!
This is definitely not something that the Taki Chiba they know can do. Perhaps, the Taki Chiba they know has also done many miraculous things, but compared with the current incident, it is not the same. a concept.
If there is a person who can force the Great Ninja Village to bow down by one person, there is no such person in the history of the ninja world. In fact, this person is also in Konoha.
However, in the entire history of the ninja world, there is only one person.
That is, the first Hokage, the ninja god who established the current structure of the ninja world, Senju Hashirama!
Taki Chiba is powerful, and there is no doubt that she is enough to be ranked among the top ten in the contemporary ninja world. However, at that time, Taki Chiba was still inferior to the fourth generation Hokage, Namikaze Minato. The power is still far away from forcing a great ninja village to bow its head.
Let alone Taki Chiba.
In just a few months between the end of the Nine-Tails Rebellion and the Kumogakure peace talks, Taki Chiba's strength has soared to this point, and there is already a faint trend of becoming the second "God of Ninja" .
Originally, he was already a genius who illuminated an era, and his future achievements were limitless. No one would doubt that he could reach the top of the ninja world. However, no one would think that he would achieve the same feats as the first Hokage. His strength Comparable to the God of Ninja!
But now, what the Fourth Kazekage really finds hard to believe is actually this, the unreasonable surge in Taki Chiba's strength.
Moreover, it has skyrocketed to a level that makes people unwilling to believe it.
The Fourth Kazekage couldn't believe the strength shown by Taki Chiba, and it was not Taki Chiba who was the one who severely injured Kumogakure!
And he, too.
If he hadn't been in Konoha at that time, and he still had some authority at that time. Although the Third Hokage tried his best to conceal it, it was still a secret, he might be like the Fourth Hokage now, unbelievable and afraid. believe.
He was, crushed by the truth.
I have to believe it!
"I still can't believe that Kumogakure Village's policy towards the Tailed Beast Jinchūriki has changed at that time. The Eight-Tails and Two-Tails should still be in Kumogakure Village. After all, facing two tailed beasts and a fourth-generation Raikage , as well as the number of people and geographical advantages of the Kumogakure base camp, even Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama cannot achieve this level!"
At this time, looking at Orochimaru's expression that was so convinced that even he had a stiff face, and listening to Orochimaru's words that, although not affirmative, were full of firm affirmative tone, it was as if he had caught the last word. Like a straw, the Fourth Kazekage revealed his last reason for refusing to believe.
Tailed beast!
Tailed Beast Jinchūriki!
Yes, the perfect Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails was also in Kumogakure Village at that time, and there was also the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails. After the Fourth Raikage came to power, the two Jinchuriki were not allowed to leave the village until the end of the war.
If such a thing really happened, then when two thousand people broke into Kumogakure Village alone, Taki Chiba would face not only the Fourth Raikage, but also two Tailed Beast Jinchūriki.
In addition to these, the battle location is Kumogakure's base camp, and there are many Kumogakure, Kumogakure's institutions in the base camp, and the location is advantageous.
No matter what, the sudden increase in strength cannot be exaggerated to this extent!
If it were said that this happened ten years later, or now, he would definitely believe it, but this was all more than ten years ago. No matter how talented Taki Chiba is, no matter how evil he is, no matter how dazzling he is, It's impossible for his strength to surge to such an extent in such a short period of time!
Even though he knew that Orochimaru in front of him would have accurate information since he said so, he still couldn't believe it.
How could you believe it?
If this is really the case, then there is no need to carry out any plan to destroy Konoha, just go back to your hometown!
Any further plans to destroy Konoha would be tantamount to suicide!
However, this time, his words did not elicit any response from Orochimaru.
Yes, only Orochimaru's face, which had always seemed unfathomably sinister, showed a serious and sinister expression.
For the first time, he definitely saw a look of affirmation on Orochimaru's face.
And this expression did not change at all for several minutes after he stood there blankly, when the silence shrouded the secret room and became suppressed.
"How...how could..."
Finally, with a cry of despair, Luo Sha's shoulders suddenly drooped, and his entire body slumped down a bit as if almost all his energy had been drained.
This matter cannot be reversed.
What Orochimaru said was absolutely true, and it was impossible to joke with him about such a thing.
"Now, Lord Kazekage, do you think that the key to the success of our plan is the Third Hokage?"
At this time, Orochimaru asked after seeing that the Fourth Kazekage's energy and energy seemed to be drained.
However, although the words he asked still seemed to have a sense of mystery and even contempt for the other party, there was no sense of mystery and contempt in his tone.
Some, just a feeling of heaviness.
"No, I am definitely not the Third Hokage."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Kazekage slowly raised his head, looked at Orochimaru, who also had a lingering shadow on his face, and said slowly.
Now that it has been confirmed that Taki Chiba is not dead and has done such terrible things, the key to the success or failure of Konoha's destruction plan this time cannot be the Third Hokage.
To be honest, not only is the core not the Third Hokage, the Fourth Kazekage is already planning to retreat.
Are you kidding me?
If Taki Chiba is not dead, how can he carry out this plan to destroy Konoha?
This plan is over!
How could it continue!
"That's right, the core of this success or failure is not the Third Hokage, but this Taki Chiba. If he wants to destroy Konoha, this kid will always be the obstacle that cannot be avoided."
In response, Orochimaru nodded and said affirmatively.
"and you!"
And when he heard this sound, the Fourth Kazekage felt inexplicably angry in his heart, and almost subconsciously wanted to curse out,
This is no longer a matter of success or failure. This is basically putting them Sunagakure on the fire, right?
So what if the plan to destroy Konoha succeeds?
Taki Chiba is not dead, and already has such strength. Even if Konoha is destroyed, Sunagakure cannot stop Taki Chiba's furious attack!
When the time comes, what can they do to Sunagakure?
Instead, it will lead to death!
This Orochimaru definitely has evil intentions!
At the same time, there was almost only one thought in his mind.
Um?
Wait a moment!
Orochimaru should have obtained this information a long time ago, and since Konoha's destruction plan was successful, he, Orochimaru, was also a part of it, and would also provoke Taki Chiba's anger. For Orochimaru, this would also be a fatal disaster.
Orochimaru is not a madman, nor a suicidal maniac. On the contrary, as one of the three ninjas of Konoha, he is also the one with the most strategy and vision. It is impossible not to know the stakes involved.
Is it possible that he has any solution?
In other words, the one who must win...
grasp?
However, after thinking about it, he discovered another key point.
That is, Orochimaru knew that Taki Chiba was not dead and had done such a thing, so he formulated this plan to destroy Konoha.
In other words, Orochimaru has a way!
There are already plans to deal with this Taki Chiba!
"What can you do?"
Then, almost instantly, thinking of this, Luo Sha quickly changed her words and asked seriously.
"I'm just going back to you, Mr. Fengying, you are definitely not the kind of short-sighted person."
In response, Orochimaru's lips curved into an indescribable smile and he praised.
"Say it."
However, Luo Sha did not react at all to Orochimaru's praise, and just urged Orochimaru.
"Please look at this scroll."
After hearing this, Orochimaru pushed the scroll directly in front of Luo Sha and motioned for him to take a look.
"What's this?"
After looking at the scroll, Luo Sha did not open it immediately. Instead, he stared at Orochimaru and spoke cautiously.
"Please take a look."
In this regard, Orochimaru did not comment and just said this.
It seems that the only way to continue is to read this scroll first.
At this moment, Luo Sha also understood what Orochimaru meant. Without any nonsense, he fumbled with the scroll and opened it to watch.
This is?
But at this moment, his face was filled with a heavy look of doubt.
What's the point of selling this Orochimaru?
