Chapter 452 Ice Turtle Island
The Nine-Tails Rebellion that broke out in Konoha soon made the major forces aware of it through various channels, especially the four major ninja villages, which were all shocked.
The Tailed Beast Rebellion had occurred in different places, but basically they were all outside the village. It was the first time that it broke out directly in the village. This time, the entire Konoha was almost reduced to ruins.
However, to the regret of the major ninja villages, the Nine-Tails was finally sealed by Konoha, but it was not known whether it was sealed in the body of the original Tailed Beast Jinchuriki or a new one was found.
This incident made the four major ninja villages eager to move, even the Sand Village, Rock Village and Mist Village, which had signed a peace agreement with Konoha, had some ideas.
However, Konoha's response was also very strong. Jiraiya went north to the Land of Hot Springs to take charge, and Shimura Danzo went to the eastern front.
Tsunade, who had been wandering outside, also appeared in Kikyoyama Castle to take charge and confronted the people from the Sand Village.
Even Orochimaru, who had become a rebel ninja, appeared in the Land of Grass, forcing the four major ninja villages to be cautious.
In the office of the Mizukage of Kirigakure, the very old Third Mizukage looked at the latest intelligence and frowned.
"Don't go to the Fire Country war zone, go to the Wind Country war zone."
After thinking for a long time, the Third Mizukage finally made a decision.
He originally wanted to take the opportunity to arrange his disciple Yagura Kujitsu to go to the Fire Country to open up the war zone, but who would have thought that it was Danzo Shimura who was in charge there.
"Teacher, is that Danzo Shimura more powerful than Jiraiya?"
Yagura Kujitsu was puzzled. According to his understanding, Danzo Shimura didn't seem to have much presence in Konoha, and he didn't have any record of achievements to show.
"His strength is average, but he has a name called the Dark of Ninja."
The Third Mizukage took the information on the table very seriously.
"The Dark of Ninja?"
Yagura Kujitsu was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of this name, mainly because he didn't pay much attention to Danzo Shimura before.
"He is a man who will do anything to achieve his goals. He can use any means. To some extent, he is more dangerous than Jiraiya.
And he has a relatively independent organization under his command, which is full of cold-blooded tools, and he will do anything to achieve his goals.
Konoha is in a hurry this time. Even the eldest son of the Third Hokage was killed by us. I am afraid that they will release all restrictions on that guy. It is too risky to fight him."
The Third Mizukage has some knowledge of Shimura Danzo, especially during the Second Ninja World War. According to the intelligence they got, the successive destruction of the Hidden Village of Uzushio and the elite of the Senju Family seemed to have the shadow of that man.
"This defeat in the Land of Fire has a great impact on us, and it also has a great impact on your succession to my position.
Although the Ninja Clan did not gain much in the Land of Lightning, it did not suffer much loss.
You need to achieve a breakthrough in the Land of Wind. This battle is very important to you.
If you want to become the Fourth Hokage, you must show a record that the whole village will accept."
The Third Mizukage said solemnly, his eyes falling on the disciple in front of him.
He was quite satisfied with this disciple. His character and strength were both very good. It was a pity that he had bad luck this time.
He had already opened up the situation in the Land of Fire, but he was defeated by the Fourth Hokage and almost died.
It was not that this disciple was not strong enough, but that the Fourth Hokage was too strong and the technique was too unsolvable.
"Disciple understands, and will not let the teacher down!"
Yakura Kujitachi nodded solemnly. He also understood that this was his last chance.
"Teacher, I want to dispatch the Ringo clan to follow me to the battlefield of the Land of Wind."
After hesitating for a while, Yakura Kujitachi applied to dispatch the ninjas of the Ringo family.
The ninjas of the Ringo family performed very well on the battlefield before. It can be said that the two great victories were inseparable from the Ringo ninjas.
First, they cooperated to intercept and kill the son of the Third Hokage, and then killed Jiraiya's three powerful summoning beasts. If it weren't for the ninjas of the Ringo family, he would not have been able to win such a big victory there.
Even in the first battle, the Ringo ninjas were the vanguards who rushed to the front line and blocked the strongest attack of the Konoha ninjas.
And the armor of the Ringo ninjas has strong defense, which is very suitable for being a vanguard.
"Ringo Bairen will not agree. He applied to go to the battlefield of the Thunder Country to avoid being transferred to the battlefield of the Wind Country.
Although he applied to go to the north, he did not join the battlefield, nor did he contact the people of the three families of the Ghost Light. He has been floating on the sea, which is to avoid.
Before the new Mizukage appears, they should not come back."
The third generation Mizukage understands the Ringo family's approach very well. Avoiding the fight between the two major factions this time and maintaining a neutral position is the best choice.
"Permanent neutrality?"
Karo Yagura suddenly realized, and then regretted it.
If there were ninjas from the Ringo family to assist, he would definitely be able to open up the situation quickly in the Wind Country.
And with Ringo Bairen's physical condition, it is impossible for him to compete with him for the position of Mizukage. He is the most useful subordinate.
Unfortunately, the other party has a clear attitude and does not intend to take a stand. Although it is highly likely that the Ringo family will not be reused once a new Mizukage appears, it will not be suppressed.
This is a relatively conservative way of inheritance, but he can understand it. After all, given the fatal flaws of the Ringo family's secret techniques, it is good enough to ensure family inheritance.
"Do you have more information about the armor of the Ringo family?"
The Third Mizukage was somewhat interested in the kind of armor found in the intelligence. It had good defense and could assist in combat.
"It should be a variant application of the Puppet Technique. The Ringo family had manpower deployed in the Kingdom of Wind before. It is said that they accidentally encountered the genius Red Sand Scorpion of the Hidden Sand Village and almost killed him. It may be that he obtained the core inheritance of the Puppet Technique. , and then created that kind of puppet armor.
I also saw the Ringo ninja practicing the chakra thread skills of the Puppet Master in the Fire Nation camp. "
Goji Yagura was also very interested in the puppet armor before. Although he had no way to ask, he had people observe it and collect some information.
It gave him the feeling of wearing a puppet on his body and using puppetry to control those auxiliary limbs to assist in combat. It was equivalent to a combination of the puppet master of Sunagakure Village and a normal ninja.
There are even some among Sunagakure who hide their entire bodies in large puppets to control the battle, using the puppets to protect themselves.
Now the Ringo family has just transformed on this path to become mainly ninjas themselves, with puppets as supplements.
"A variant application of puppetry?"
The Third Mizukage thought thoughtfully. If this was the case, the value would be greatly reduced. After all, the most important thing for the puppet master of Sunagakure Village is the mechanisms and poisons placed on the puppets. It seems that those mechanisms cannot be placed on the puppet armor. It can only assist in close combat.
And the cost of that thing seems to be quite high. The Ringo family even sold off their property in the village some time ago, and even some of the scrolls such as the secret ninjutsu sealing technique were sold to civilian ninjas at low prices in exchange for money. Apparently they all hit those puppet armors.
That investment is too great, and it obviously cannot be popularized, and it doesn't make much sense to take it over.
Moreover, the Ringo family still insists on a neutral attitude, and it is not easy to take other people's achievements, otherwise it will be troublesome if they are angered and turn to the ninja faction.
Ringo Bairen didn't know that he was already being taken care of. At this moment, he was floating on the sea with his fleet.
It's said to be a fleet, but it's actually three ships. After all, they only have a little over a hundred tribesmen going into battle this time.
A shadow-level person, Ringo has a hundred swords.
There is one elite Jonin, Ringo Moli.
Especially the nine Jonin, the nine who were the first to get the puppet armor.
The rest are all chunin who look like middle-class people.
And this is already a standard big clan in Kirigakure Village. Even the three powerful clans, Kaguya Kito and Minazuki, have at most twenty or thirty jounin each, and three or four hundred chunin.
With this fleet of hundreds of people, Ringo Bairen appeared many times near the coastline of the Kingdom of Thunder, saying that he was participating in the war here, so that he could give an explanation to the village, otherwise he would definitely be missing after playing on the sea. Being suspected.
Sensing the presence of the Ringo family ninjas here, Yunyin Village had to arrange for ninjas to come over and keep an eye on them.
Tamura Hao naturally ignored these. He was staying in the cabin and devoted himself to training and research.
Needless to say, self-cultivation is mainly about eating the flesh and blood of the three big toads. Those things must be eaten as soon as possible, even if they are sealed with sealing techniques and frozen, they will not last long.
The research is another upgrade of the puppet armor. The last time was to use titanium alloy to strengthen Kaguya's skeleton and further increase the difference from the original Kaguya's skeleton.
The original dyeing was to ensure that no one would recognize that it was the skeleton of Kaguya ninja, and the later titanium alloy fusion was to ensure that no one would associate it with the skeleton.
Now it is time to further wear, carry and maintain it. Before, it had been maintained by soaking in nutrient solutions. The cost of those nutrient solutions was not low, and they did not last long.
This defect must be resolved, which is also strongly requested by the old father-in-law.
The last step is to practice the ninjutsu of perception, and use the fleet's drifting on the sea to sense the turtle island that is hidden somewhere.
He didn't know if the island turtle itself had chakra, but the Kumo ninja above definitely had chakra, and had also set up a perception barrier.
The basis of the perception barrier is chakra, which can be sensed by anyone with delicate perception, especially for someone with strong control like Tamura Hao.
After wandering like this for half a year, Tamura Hao finally achieved something.
"Is there a chakra reaction in that direction?"
After receiving the report from the cheap son-in-law, Ringo Bairen looked in the direction pointed by him.
"Three jounin and nine chuunin, about twenty kilometers away, moving northeast."
Tamura Hao talked about the number of people and distance.
"You can already sense twenty kilometers now?"
Ringo Moli was surprised, this little guy's progress was a bit fast.
"Small progress!"
Tamura Hao was humble.
Ringo Bairen felt even more relieved, and then became confused.
"The ones who can appear in this place must be Kumo Ninja, but that direction is not the Kingdom of Earth. What are they doing there?"
Their current location is the northeastern sea of the Kingdom of Thunder, and further northeast is the ice sea.
It is extremely cold there, and icebergs often float there, making it almost a no-go zone for humans.
"Follow me and see if you can find out."
Ringo Jasmine suggested following them over to have a look. Anyway, they were idle now. Everyone was familiar with using the puppet armor. It was time to go out and do some activities.
"Send the order to turn to pursuit. Xiaohao, keep your awareness and guide the direction."
Ringo Bairen agreed without much thought. He was really free now, so he just happened to go over and take a look.
As the order was given, the sails were twisted and the course changed.
In the current ninja world, the ships of the Land of Water are the most advanced. After all, it is an island country and lives on the sea. It is difficult to survive without development.
So the fleet easily caught up and hung steadily at a distance of 20 kilometers.
After sailing for four days, they entered the ice sea. Some floating ice can be seen on the sea surface. It is said that if they continue to move forward, they will encounter icebergs, which is a nightmare for any ship.
"The fleet can't move forward."
Ringo Bairen came to the deck and did not plan to continue sailing, but the pursuit must continue.
Fortunately, they still have a means of transportation, which is the original ninja eagle. After feeding a lot of toad meat, the ninja eagle has grown to a wingspan of 30 meters, and the speed and load have been greatly improved.
After selecting 30 people, everyone set off on the ninja eagle to continue the pursuit.
The cloud ninja on that ship has almost reached the limit of its sailing. After advancing hundreds of kilometers, it stopped. Tamura Hao, who was following far behind in the sky, immediately felt it.
"A new chakra source appeared 20 kilometers ahead, with seven jonin and more than a hundred chunins."
"Sure enough, there is something wrong."
Hearing his son-in-law's latest discovery, Ringo Bairen showed a grim smile on his face.
I had seen before that the direction of the dozen or so cloud ninjas was wrong, and there was indeed something wrong, so there should be a lot of gains.
The ninja eagle continued to fly, and soon an island appeared in everyone's field of vision.
The island was not small, and everyone could see it.
"Something is wrong, the island is moving, it's a floating... No, it's a turtle."
Tamura Hao, who was observing with the latest version of the Byakugan telescope, suddenly spoke with a look of shock and disbelief on his face.
This Byakugan telescope was made by him using the Byakugan sealed under the Senju wooden building, and it was carried by a chakra core made from the corpse of a Hyuga ninja, and it could be connected to the optic nerve with chakra to stimulate observation.
This technique originated from the Sand Eye in the Sand Village's Sand Manipulation Secret Technique, which is to make an eye with sand, and then connect it to the optic nerve with chakra, so that it can be used for observation.
Tamura Hao modified it so that he could use chakra to connect with the Byakugan and obtain the vision of the Byakugan, which was much more real than what he saw through a telescope.
"Turtle? Such a big turtle?"
Everyone was surprised and unbelievable. Although they hadn't gone down yet, the turtle was really big, it was completely an island.
"I was still worried about finding a place to put it, and now it's here."
After being shocked, Ringo Bairen smiled.
I was still worried about how to put the harvest before, and I couldn't think of an absolutely safe place. Who would have thought that I would find it so soon.
"Confirm again whether there are strong people who surpass the jonin, and then determine their specific distribution."
He looked at his son-in-law with a murderous look, indicating that he should sense it again.
"No!"
Tamura Hao made a seal and sensed it again, and finally confirmed that there was no shadow-level strongman. Then he used his palm to replace the turtle island and pointed out the location of the sensed chakra.
Most of the cloud ninjas gathered in one area, and the rest were more scattered.
"Attack, kill all the Cloud Ninjas."
Ringo Bairen gave the order decisively, and was the first to jump down.
Others followed suit, and various puppet armors covered them in the first place.
Tamura Haoya and Yu Yuli followed suit, and the eight spider legs quickly spread out in the air, and finally used the elastic force of the spider legs to unload the force, and landed steadily on the thorny coral.
The place where everyone landed was exactly the area where the Cloud Ninjas were mainly concentrated, and they started killing after landing.
At the same time, an alarm sounded on the Cloud Hidden Village side, and they obviously discovered these intruders, after all, there was a perception barrier here.
Although the Ringo ninjas were not in a dominant position in terms of numbers, their close combat strength was comparable to that of a jonin with the blessing of puppet armor.
Thirty jonins with combat power equivalent to that of a jonin came in, and it was almost as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
Not to mention that there were nine special jonins inside, whose combat power was comparable to that of an elite jonin with the blessing of puppet armor.
Elite jonins like Ringo Jasmine have become even stronger with the help of armor.
Although they are not strong enough to fight against Kage-level masters, they are much stronger than ordinary elite jonins.
The most terrifying thing is Ringo Bairen, who is a Kage-level master. Although the puppet armor does not improve his strength much, the blood-sucking and physical strength-enhancing characteristics can keep him in physical condition.
As long as he does not burst to the limit, the injury will not be caused.
In addition, it was a sudden attack, and the cloud ninjas here were stunned at the first sight.
Tamura Hao himself turned into a sword fairy, using the chakra core of the third generation wind shadow to control the finger knife for long-range attacks. The current magnetic escape power can be extended to forty meters.
Within a range of forty meters, as long as he is not a Kage-level master, he can use magnetic escape to control the finger knife to kill.
"There are still people running away, which is not in line with the style of the cloud ninja."
Tamura Hao, who has been maintaining perception, smiled and controlled the spider legs to bounce away from Turtle Island.
I just sensed a jonin's chakra leaving Turtle Island, and it was obvious that he was preparing to run away.
When I came to the sea, I looked back and saw that little girl Yu Yuli was chasing me.
"Is someone running away?"
Yu Yuli seemed very excited, guessing that someone must have run away, so this pervert would chase him out.
"That's an elite jonin who is not inferior to my aunt, don't mess around."
After giving a reminder, Tiancun Hao retracted his spider legs and ran on the sea. His target was a large iceberg not far away. The opponent was hiding behind the iceberg and had obviously discovered their pursuit.
Yu Yuli also retracted his spider legs and followed closely behind excitedly, full of fighting spirit.
It was very boring to be on the sea in the past six months. There was no opponent. It was not fun to spar with the tribe members. But fighting with the pervert would be bullied by the magnetic escape.
She had just killed three Chunins, and this time she would face an elite Jonin. How could she not be excited?
She liked this kind of exciting thing.
At the same time, the cloud ninja hiding behind the iceberg stopped making hand seals and looked cold.
He was the perception ninja of Kame Island and the strongest person.
After sensing that his companions were quickly slaughtered and the opponent had a shadow-level strongman, he knew that he could not fight and had to escape.
Not only to escape, but also to pass the news back to the village.
But he didn't expect that he would be discovered by the opponent and chased after him.
Without hesitation, he took out a scroll, bit his finger, quickly wrote a few secret codes, and finally rolled it up and threw it to a dolphin.
He had been targeted and there was a high probability that he could not escape. Now he could only use this method to pass the message back.
At least let the village know that it was the Kirigakure Ninja who captured Turtle Island.
But before the dolphin swam away, his body suddenly twitched and stopped moving after a while. (End of this chapter)
