Chapter 248: Being Stood Up

The night passed quickly, and after a hearty breakfast the next morning, all the Konoha ninjas gathered in the open space in front of the camp.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood on the high platform and used the Will of Fire to boost morale, and then took the lead in running out of the camp.

All the Konoha ninjas jumped into the woods and leaped between the trees.

This leaping method can transform the impact force into driving force with the help of the elasticity of the branches, which can save physical strength to a great extent and is the most effective way to travel.

The Konoha Ninja Army set out, and the four major ninja villages also attached great importance to it. The third generation of Kazekage even arrived at Kikyoyama Castle in person. After all, the third generation of Hokage has come, and this is their front line territory, which cannot be defeated.

Of course, the losses of their own ninja army cannot be too great, so as not to make a mess like the main force of the Kirigakure Village, where almost all the troops were wiped out, and even the Mizukage disciple who was the commander died.

The Iwagakure Village also sent an elite team to meet with Huang Tu, mainly to protect Huang Tu.

In the previous peninsula battle, they had already lost the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Shizukari and the four elites who accompanied him. They couldn't afford such a big loss this time.

Compared with the conservative Iwagakure Village, Tamura Hao and others, as representatives of the Kumogakure Village, were full of fighting spirit.

"What is the confidence of the Third Hokage in the decisive battle? Is the rumored forbidden technique that can revive the dead true?"

Hanzo, who had just arrived, still couldn't figure out why Sarutobi Hiruzen led the team to the decisive battle so quickly. This practice was too abnormal.

He was invited by the Third Kazekage to help in the battle, and it was a commission for a war mission. The reward was very generous, and the enemy was Konoha, so he came.

But I really don't understand Sarutobi Hiruzen's operation. At this stage, the only thing I can think of is the news that came out some time ago.

It is said that the Third Hokage has mastered the forbidden technique of reviving the dead to fight. It would be terrible if those dead ancestors were resurrected to fight.

Especially the First Hokage. Once the First Hokage is resurrected, this Ninja World War will be over.

That is the supreme power that pacified the troubled times, which is not comparable to the current ninja world.

"No matter what means they use, we can deal with it with so many people. When the time comes, Senior Hanzo will watch and poison them. Today, we must leave those Konoha ninja soldiers here."

Tamura Hao said proudly, but in fact he was laughing secretly in his heart.

He knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen's confidence was the Otsutsuki relic, but the Otsutsuki relic had been crippled by them now. Even if he was rescued by Otsutsuki Hamura, it would be difficult to recover his combat power in a short time.

Only Konoha can fight this time, and no one else will come.

"I have fused the snake venom and the venom of the salamander during this period. The effect is good. It is just right for Konoha."

Hanzo smiled and was very confident in his own poison.

Although he still failed to cultivate the real sage mode during this period, he used the celestial art seal to integrate chakra into the salamander, so that the salamander also has the power of celestial art, and its strength has been greatly improved.

At the same time, the salamander fused the venom of the white snake, and the toxicity has increased a lot.

"Here they come!"

At this time, Uzumaki Kushina, who had been sensing, spoke up, staring at the woods below the mountain city with hatred, and her eyes showed the two-magatama Sharingan.

After such a long period of training, her Sharingan finally reached a level, reaching the two-magatama level, and her insight became more powerful and delicate.

As Uzumaki Kushina's voice fell, Luo Sha beside her turned her head to look at her teacher, and after getting the teacher's nod, she commanded the entire army to be on alert and ready to fight.

All the ninjas were worried, staring at the woods under the mountain city, and various war machines on the city wall were also in operation, especially those large crossbows wrapped with a large number of detonating talismans.

Not long after, a figure rushed out of the woods, it was Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Following that, many figures rushed out and looked up at the mountain city on the top of the mountain in the open space in front of the woods.

Looking at the tall mountain city, everyone's heart sank.

The siege battle is the most difficult to fight, even if they have the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki on their side and can release the big killer move like the Tailed Beast Ball.

But they also have strong men who are good at space means, who can transfer the tailed beast jade away in the first place. If they are not careful, it will be transferred to their heads, which will be fatal.

So this battle can only be attacked by force, but the loss of strong attack is too great, so people have to destroy the city wall first.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The decisive battle was proposed by Lord Hokage, and he seemed confident. Obviously, there were other means. They just had to wait for Lord Hokage to take action.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen was also waiting, waiting for the appearance of Otsutsuki Shari.

He would naturally not be stupid enough to rush up and attack the city immediately. He had to let Otsutsuki Shari take action first and use the opponent's power to destroy the mountain city. At that time, it would be much easier for them to attack.

He also believed that Otsutsuki Shari would definitely take action, because the opponent's enemies also included the Hidden Cloud Village and the Third Raikage. This battle was a good opportunity to destroy the younger generation of the Hidden Cloud Village, and it was also very likely to attract the Third Raikage.

If he were Otsutsuki Shari, he would never miss this good opportunity.

But this wait lasted for a long time, and as the sun was about to set, everyone looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen again in confusion.

"What's going on?"

"What is the Hokage waiting for?"

"Does he want to wait until dark and launch a surprise attack under the cover of night?"

...

Everyone was talking in a low voice, guessing the tactics and means of the Hokage.

"Teacher, do we have to wait any longer?"

Jiraiya couldn't help but whispered. The sun had already set halfway. If we waited any longer, it would be dark.

"Wait a little longer!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said expressionlessly. He was also wondering in his heart, but he didn't think that Otsutsuki Shari would break his promise.

It was probably that they were waiting for dark. The other party also had a pupil technique similar to the Byakugan, and the night was more advantageous to them, just like the Hyuga ninja.

"What the hell?"

On the wall of the mountain city, Ye Cang didn't understand Konoha's operation. Could it be that they really had to wait until dark to attack?

Rosa and others gathered together to discuss, and they didn't understand Konoha's operation.

"They must be waiting for something, either waiting for someone or waiting for dark.

Let's wait a little longer. If Konoha doesn't make a move, we will try to kill them from behind to cut off their retreat and force them to use their trump card."

Tamura Hao suggested while controlling the Thunder God clone, saying that it was better to strike first.

"We have to test it, but don't be reckless and fall into the trap of the other party.

Although the strength of the Third Hokage is relatively average, he is proficient in calculations. He must be fully confident to lead the army to attack directly."

After discussing with Chiyo beside him, the Third Kazekage finally nodded in agreement.

The crowd discussed the details of the attack and test in detail, and then dispersed again to observe the movements of the Konoha ninjas and waited quietly for the opportunity.

"Is Scorpion not going to come back?"

At this time, Chiyo came to Tamura Hao and talked about her grandson.

She had read the letter sent back by Ye Cang before, and was sure that it was written by her grandson himself. The tone between the words could not be wrong. Obviously, the grandson was doing well in the Hidden Cloud Village and didn't want to come back.

"Little Scorpion still misses his deceased parents very much. He has been using research to distract himself. For him, Sand Village is his home. Once he returns to Sand Village, he will miss his parents uncontrollably.

My opinion is to wait until Little Scorpion grows up and matures before returning to Sand Village."

Tamura Hao expressed his concern for Scorpion. As for letting Scorpion return to Sand Village, he will wait until their Cloud Village unifies the ninja world. Then he can let Scorpion come back to see.

I just hope that Sand Village will not become a ruin by then.

"What are you plotting against Scorpion?"

Chiyo didn't understand what Cloud Village did. Although Scorpion got the true teachings of puppetry, puppetry was just that. It was a specialty of their Wind Country and Sand Village. Cloud Village didn't have the conditions to manufacture a large number of puppets, especially high-level puppets.

What benefits would it bring to keep Scorpion in Cloud Village?

As for leaking village secrets, although Scorpion was his grandson, he was too young to have access to the village secrets, and he himself had never revealed them.

I really can't figure out the intention of the Hidden Cloud Village.

"I just feel that I have a good relationship with Xiao Xi, which reminds me of my past self, and Xi will become a bond to maintain the friendship between our two villages in the future."

Tamura Hao sighed, and showed a little expression of nostalgia, indicating that he is a person with a story.

As for Xi, he is really talented. Not long after obtaining the technology of the Sky Ninja Village, he upgraded the fighter plane, and now he has even begun to study Gundam... No, it's a mecha.

If it continues like this, it will definitely develop high-tech products like Mecha Naruto and Mecha Nine-Tails in the future.

For such a rare talent, their Hidden Cloud Village will not let go.

"Don't let him go on the road of no return to human puppets. That road doesn't make much sense for your Hidden Cloud Village."

After looking at the boy suspiciously for a long time, Chiyo could only warn him in the end.

The human puppet itself is not a big secret, not to mention that they have already deployed human puppets on the battlefield on a large scale. For example, the human puppets made from the elite corpses of Sarutobi Shimura sent by the Cloud Village were lost in many wars, and must have been secretly taken away by some people.

The secret of the human puppet must be difficult to keep secret. The high-level chakra core is not easy to make, but the low-level chakra core is easy to make.

However, this human puppet is still a system that is only suitable for their Sand Village. Daily maintenance alone requires a lot of medicines. Many medicines are special products of their Sand Village. Other ninja villages can't play.

Especially now that all major ninja villages are increasing their research on the way of bloodline ninja limb transplantation, their Sand Village has also conducted research and has achieved some results, which can allow ordinary ninjas to obtain a certain degree of bloodline power.

This is much more valuable than human puppet technology, and the Cloud Village must have also conducted research in this area.

"We will keep an eye on little Scorpion."

Tamura Hao responded solemnly. He would not let Scorpion follow the artistic path in the original work. It would be good for him to be a normal scientist.

Chiyo said nothing more and turned to the city to coordinate logistics.

After waiting for a while until the moonlight fell, seeing that Konoha still had no new moves, the four-village coalition decided to attack and test.

Tamura Hao pretended to spend a huge amount of chakra to open the space gate, which led directly to the position of a thousand meters behind the Konoha ninja army, and the raiding team quickly passed through.

"Senior Hanzo!"

Tamura Hao first signaled to Hanzo, who understood and immediately raised his hand to form a seal to perform the summoning technique.

"Bang!"

A large cloud of mist exploded, revealing a huge monster, which was the summoning beast Salamander that made Hanzo famous.

Compared to the last time I saw it in the Hidden Rain Village, the current Salamander is much larger, no smaller than the original Ten Thousand Snakes. It has an extra layer of pale snake scales on its body, and its entire body looks more like a snake.

This is the result of Hanzo integrating his own magic seal power into the body of the salamander, and also the integration of snake venom.

After the hook passed, the salamander opened its mouth and spewed out poison gas while running quickly, using the poison gas to build a barrier.

Today's poison gas can not only penetrate the body through breathing, but also penetrate through the skin. At most, the efficacy is a little lower, but it is enough to kill the middle ninja in seconds, and it will be very troublesome for the jonin to be infected.

Such a surprise attack was naturally reported by the perception ninja of the Konoha Ninja Army in the first time, and everyone's heart sank.

"Does he want us to fight with the four-village coalition first, so as to draw out the four-village coalition's trump card? Or does he want to wait until the third generation of Raikage appears before taking action?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought flashed in his mind, realizing that there was going to be trouble.

Judging from the scale of the number of people, this must be a test of the four-village coalition. After the test, there will be a large-scale attack, which will be very deadly.

The most important thing is where is the Otsutsuki relic?

Will he act according to the agreement this time?

"Teacher."

Jiraiya asked again, with a look of urgency on his face.

Others also looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, waiting for the Hokage's order.

Fight? Or retreat?

"Deal with them first and make sure the retreat is clear. Minato, keep an eye on that Uchiha Hikaru, don't let her have the chance to lead those people to retreat, at least keep everyone contained."

After a little thought, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to fight.

Although the Otsutsuki Shari had his own calculations, they had no way out now.

If they retreated back to the camp at this moment, not only would their own prestige be seriously damaged, but it would also be difficult to deal with the four-village coalition here, and the overall situation would be even more difficult to control.

Once the samurai corps of the four major countries entered the Land of Fire and formed a trend of division, then everything would be over.

This battle could not be retreated, it had to be fought.

He also believed that the Otsutsuki Shari would definitely not miss this opportunity.

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's order, everyone decisively killed to the rear.

Whether fighting or retreating, the retreat must be guaranteed and must not be cut off by the opponent.

The most active Jiraiya took action first, entered the Sage Mode, shaped a lava giant and ran to launch a brutal charge.

This size of ninjutsu creation no longer requires any skills, just rush over.

Although his lava giant does not have the ability to devour chakra like Wood Release, the high temperature of the lava is also terrible.

"Your opponent is still Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya, leave it to me."

Looking at the lava giant running over, Tamura Hao said to Uchiha Hikaru, and then quickly shaped the Wutian Buddha statue, and two long swords appeared in his hands.

There is no way, his current physical condition has not recovered well, it is difficult to fight in person, and he can only temporarily transfer to a Gundam driver.

Because it is a pure energy form, coupled with the suspension ability obtained from the Ryuchidong Snake Sage, the speed of the Wutian Buddha statue is very fast.

This also allows Tamura Hao to control the Wutian Buddha statue with amazing flexibility, which is conducive to the use of swordsmanship.

He took a step forward, and when he was about to collide with the lava giant, he leaned forward and ran close to the ground, and the two swords in his hands slashed at the lava giant's legs one after another.

The lava giant's thick legs were instantly cut off in front of the two swords, but Jiraiya had already responded. He quickly extended a new lava calf from the knee to continue supporting the lava giant's inertia, then braked suddenly, turned around and raised his hands to block the two swords that were slashing.

The two behemoths fought together like this, and Jiraiya relied on his strong fairy chakra to fight hard without any reservation.

Others also faced their respective opponents, and Ye Cang went to find Orochimaru first. They were not only old opponents, but Ye Cang also had a murderous intention towards Orochimaru.

It has been confirmed that Shimura Danzo and Orochimaru used their Sand Village ninjas to conduct experiments. I don't know how many compatriots died tragically at his hands.

This beast must pay for his blood debt with blood!

Orochimaru also felt Ye Cang's killing intention, but he didn't take it to heart.

There are so many people who want to kill him, and this one is not a big deal.

And he can do better against this woman, mainly because he is familiar with her methods and can deal with it better.

Everyone else was in a fierce battle, only Sarutobi Hiruzen and Thor holding Thor's hammer did not take action, and the two looked at each other from a distance.

They are the commanders of the two teams, so they will not take action easily.

Of course, the main reason why Thor's clone did not take the initiative to attack is that Sarutobi Hiruzen is too far away. Now Tamura Hao can perfectly control Thor's clone to fight within 150 meters. Once this distance is exceeded, the control will drop rapidly.

Even if a shadow clone can be sealed in advance for remote control, the ability of the shadow clone is still far behind his own, and it is impossible to fully exert the strength of Thor's clone.

So it is better to confront like this, and Tamura Hao does not want to solve these people immediately. The stalemate is more helpful for the third generation Kazekage and others to observe and decide.

Once he sees through Sarutobi Hiruzen's confidence, he will definitely lead his army to attack. At that time, there will be a melee, and casualties will be difficult to stop.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know what the other person was thinking, and he became more and more anxious.

The battle has already begun, but the Otsutsuki Shari, who he had high hopes for, still hasn't appeared. Could it be that he didn't come?

Thinking of this, his old face suddenly darkened. He was actually stood up.

If you think about it carefully, it is not impossible. After all, everything before was just my guess. I have no way to contact Otsutsuki Shari. I couldn't communicate before. Who knows if the other party has come.

"Is he injured in the fierce battle with Hyuga Hiashi, or is he still chasing Hyuga Hiashi?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind was racing, and he became more and more irritated.

If Otsutsuki Shari didn't come, he would be in trouble.

And now he has fought with those people. The main force of the four-village coalition forces on the mountain city behind him may come down to kill at any time. The situation is extremely critical. If he is not careful, the people he brought will be wiped out.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, but Sarutobi Hiruzen did not show it. On the surface, he still looked very calm, as if he had a good grasp of the situation.

"Do I have to use the Impure World Reincarnation here?"

He was thinking about how to break the situation. If Otsutsuki Shari didn't come, he could only use the Impure World Reincarnation to defeat these people, and even severely damage or even destroy the four-village coalition.

But once the Impure World Reincarnation is used, a series of problems will arise, and the future situation will be even more difficult.

However, if it is not used, this level will be difficult to pass, and once these people are destroyed, the future situation will also be even more difficult.
