Hokage that started as a commoner ninja

Chapter 144 Fierce Battle

Just one month after the second intimate contact between Bai Zee and Danzo, in order to deal with the increasingly serious threat of war around the village, the third Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi called the patriarchs of Konoha's major families to discuss sending more ninjas to the village.

"Presumably all the patriarchs know that over the past few years, the conflicts around the Nation of Fire have been constant, and the village's strength has always been somewhat stretched. In the past, the village could barely support it. However, judging from the information collected by Anbu in recent times, various The village seems to be actively preparing for the battle, and if Konoha doesn't take any action, I'm afraid there will be very serious consequences if he is not careful."

The third generation of Hokage looked solemnly, looked around for a week, and said straight to the point: "I have already applied for enough war supplies from the daimyo in the name of Hokage, and now I am short of manpower. I will first express my position on behalf of the Sarutobi family. From now on, the Sarutobi family will Send another hundred ninjas to follow the village's orders."

After the third Hokage finished speaking, the patriarchs of each family fell into silence.In the early stage, each family has sent a large number of ninjas to the village, and they have already lost a lot of money.

Now if blood transfusions are given to the village again, it will really hurt the families.Because this means that people from the main line of each family will also start to go to the battlefield in large numbers, which is reluctant to each family.

But the heads of all the families know that the three generations seem to be seeking the opinions of each family, but in fact they have reached a situation where they cannot be refused.On the one hand, each family has long been aware of the actual situation in the village, and it is true what the third generation said.On the other hand, the third generation has already expressed its position on behalf of the Sarutobi family, which is to tell the families that my Sarutobi family has already made a decision, and your families should not make any more excuses.

At this time, sitting in the front seat, a ninja with short braids on the back of his head and lazily propping his chin with his hands said first: "My Nara clan also followed in the footsteps of the Sarutobi clan and sent another hundred ninjas, Follow the orders of the village."

Hearing the words, the third generation looked at Patriarch Nara, nodded in relief, and said, "Patriarch Nara has a heart for the sake of the village."

The three clans of "Pig Deer Butterfly" have always been in the same spirit. Now that the Nara clan has made a decision, the patriarchs of the other two clans looked at each other and expressed that they would send a hundred family ninjas to obey the village's orders.

Afterwards, Zanju Koharu represented the Zanju family, and Mitomonyan represented the Mitomon family, and also stated that they would send family ninjas to the village.

Since then, the families have begun to compete to express their views.

Seeing this situation, the third generation couldn't help being somewhat satisfied. With the addition of these new elite forces, the fighting potential of the village will be raised to a higher level.

Just when the third generation thought that there would be no more accidents, Danzo, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said in a cold voice: "The people in the village are nervous, and we, the Shimura family, are naturally obliged to send family ninjas to the village. But..."

As soon as Danzo said "but", the meeting room fell silent instantly.

Danzo looked around for a week, then looked at the third generation, and said loudly: "But, shouldn't those ninjas who are doing nothing outside the village be called back? Since the people in the village are already so nervous, some people are still staying outside the village to avoid tasks. , it’s a bit bad!”

When everyone heard the words, they all showed a thoughtful expression.

Hearing the words, Sandaimu frowned even more, then relaxed, and said calmly: "Danzo, who are you referring to, just say it straight!"

"For example, your good disciple - Jiraiya. And that Mu En, I know he is in the 'Rain Country' now, and he doesn't seem to be performing the mission of the village." Danzo said directly without any hesitation .

At the beginning, Danzang really didn't want to get involved in the grievances between Bai Jue and Mu En, thinking that the bigger the conflict between them, the better.However, over the past few days, the more Danzo thought about it, the more something went wrong. His resentment towards Mu En became deeper and deeper, and his thoughts changed accordingly. He began to regard Mu En as the biggest stumbling block on his way to becoming "Hokage".And Bai Jue's side is the foreign aid that he can strive for on the way to become "Hokage".

Therefore, he still decided to follow Bai Jue's arrangement and try to find a way to transfer Mu En from the "Country of Rain".And today's meeting is an excellent opportunity.

The third generation was a little puzzled, even he didn't know where Mu En went out, but now Danzo didn't care to point it out.

"It seems that Danzang has some arrangements in the 'Country of Rain' that I don't even know about. However, judging by Danzang's appearance, Mu En should have touched his interests in the 'Country of Rain'. Come on, let's not let Mu En go back to the village easily." Third Generation Mu thought to himself.

"Jirai is also completing the task entrusted to him by the Great Toad Immortal of the Holy Land Miaomu Mountain, and he has no time to return to the village for the time being." The third Hokage explained to the patriarchs very calmly: "As for Mu En, he has been completing a task some time ago. The village's top-secret mission happened to be in the 'Land of Rain'."

The Third Hokage went on to say: "The situation in the 'Country of Rain' is getting more and more complicated now, and a powerful ninja is needed to lead Konoha's operations in the country. Mu En is the best candidate."

Hearing the third generation's explanation, Danzo's eyes flashed fiercely, and then he concealed it very well.The patriarchs of the various families heard the words and didn't say much, as if they had already agreed with the decision of the three generations.After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a battle between Sandai and Danzo, and it is self-evident which side they should stand on.

……

Three days later, the country of rain.

A group of four people wore masks and galloped in the rain. One of them was burly and strong and ran at the front. He seemed to be the leader of the group of four. There are endless ninjas emerging from the villages of Shayin and Yanyin, maybe a master will emerge from somewhere, everyone must be careful."

"Senior Zhongshan, will Brother Mu En really be in the Land of Rain?" the ninja, the shortest of the four, said a little excitedly, with a delicate voice, and judging by his figure, he looked about ten years old.

"Kinoshita, don't worry, since it is Hokage-sama's order, then in the Land of Rain, you will definitely see you, Senior Mu En." At this time, a ninja of moderate build and wearing a bird-like mask with a sharp beak said.

"Yes, it would be great if this is the case, Kondo-senpai. I haven't seen Brother Mu En for a long time." The young ninja code-named Kinoshita said softly.

At this time, the tall and burly ninja code-named Zhongshan raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, looked at the remaining ninja who had been silent, and said, "How is it, Inoue?"

Anbu Ninja, code-named Inoue, closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings for a while, then said, "Zhongshan, within my sensing range, there are no ninjas."

The burly ninja Zhongshan heard the words, looked at the three of them, and said, "Let's rest here for a while."

The four had just rested for a while, Inoue frowned, stood up abruptly, and looked into the rain and fog not far ahead.The other three people who had a tacit understanding also stood up and stared forward together.

I saw a middle-aged man walking in front of him, dressed as a wandering monk, wearing purple clothes and a breastplate, his hair was tied into a small ponytail at the back, he had a big beard, and his hair and beard were conspicuous. red.

Seeing that the four people on his side were getting closer and closer, the burly ninja Zhongshan stepped forward and said, "Who are you? If you move forward, you will be the enemy."

The visitor casually glanced at the four of them, and said, "Wearing a mask, are you Anbu ninjas from which village? You shouldn't be from the Land of Rain. What are you doing in the Land of Rain?"

Hearing the words, the four Anbu ninjas did not answer the middle-aged man's question, but looked on guard.

The wandering monk is the "Four-Tails Jinzhuli" Lao Zi of Yanyin Village. At this time, he escaped from Yanyin Village only a few days after he injured many elite ninjas in Yanyin Village. Four Ye didn't answer, and said angrily: "Since you don't speak, you belong to the enemy!"

After finishing speaking, Lao Zi formed seals with both hands, and while rushing forward, he drank: "Melting Escape · Burning River Rock Art".

I saw that the middle-aged man spit out many magma balls from his mouth and charged towards the four of them.The sound of explosions came from the direction of the attack.

When the smoke dissipated, they saw that the four Anbu ninjas had already avoided in advance and were not harmed by ninjutsu.

At this time, Zhongshan also started to fight back in anger, and saw that his right hand suddenly became extremely huge strangely, and he punched Lao Zi away.

Seeing this, Lao Zi didn't fight recklessly, but fled back.At the same time, a tail suddenly appeared behind it.With the appearance of the tail, its whole body began to be covered by magma.As the raindrops fell on him and were evaporated, the surroundings became a bit smoky.

From the moment the tail appeared, Zhongshan was startled, and reminded the other three: "It's Renzhuriki, everyone be careful."

After all, he rushed up first.

This time, Lao Zi in the "Melting Chakra Mode" did not retreat in the face of the gigantic fist, but quickly formed a seal, and drank: "Melting · Granite."

In front of Lao Zi, several walls of magma were erected.

After Zhongshan's giant hand shattered the magma wall, he didn't have the strength left to inflict damage on Lao Zi.At the same time, his hands were severely burned.

At the same time, Kinoshita at the side also came near Lao Zi when Zhongshan attacked, and he made an extremely skillful seal, and shouted: "Mu Dun · The Art of the Great Forest."

From its outstretched right arm stretched out a number of wooden vine branches, winding towards Lao Zi.

When Lao Zi heard the name of Mu Dun, he was startled, Mu Dun can be regarded as the nemesis of tailed beasts.Just as he was about to dodge backwards, he suddenly discovered that his feet had turned into a swamp.It was the handwriting of Kondo who had come to the neighborhood.

It was this delay that caused Lao Zi to fail to escape Mu Dun's capture.However, when Mu Dun captured Lao Zi, the magma on Lao Zi's body started to work, and Mu Dun actually started to be ignited.

This also surprised Kinoshita.

Lao Zi was also taken aback when he saw this, and then he said happily: "Your 'Mu Dun' is not as good as Senju Hashirama, the god of ninjas. Although it has a little restraint effect on the tailed beast Chakra, but who let you meet it? It's magma."

At this moment, a waterfall rushed towards Lao Zi, extinguishing the fire on his body and buying time for Kinoshita's new ninjutsu.It is the water escape ninjutsu launched by the induction ninja Inoue.

At this time, Kinoshita's new ninjutsu has also been prepared, and he yelled softly: "Mu Dun · Thorn Killing Technique."

I saw a large amount of rattan-like wood appeared again to restrain Lao Zi, and many wooden pillars appeared around him to form a cage, besieging him.

Lao Zi could feel Mu Dun's absorption of the tailed beast's chakra, but this absorption was still within his control.Even so, he secretly sighed, "As expected of the 'Wood Dun', such a child can play such a role when using it."

But with emotion in his heart, he said on his mouth: "If you want to beat me at this level, it won't work."

After all, Lao Zi communicated with the four tails and began to release a large amount of tail beast chakra.With the obvious gushing of Tailed Beast Chakra, although its body can still maintain a human shape, it has also undergone obvious changes. The whole body is covered with dark red Tailed Beast Chakra, and four tails grow behind it.

Lao Zi, who had turned into a beast with a tail, waved his claws, and the vine-like wooden strips wrapped around him were torn apart.

At the same time, Lao Zi propped his hands on the ground, and said in his mouth: "Rongdun Huaguo Mountain."

With Lao Zi as the center, a sea of ​​magma appeared. A few seconds later, magma gushed out of the sea of ​​magma, attacking the four of them, and the wooden cage was completely destroyed in an instant.

At the same time, facing the magma coming from the pavement, the four Konoha had no choice but to back away in embarrassment.

Seeing that his side might be defeated immediately, in order to protect the other three from being attacked by the beast-tailed Lao Zi, Zhongshan shouted: "The art of doubling."

Zhongshan's whole body began to grow huge. Sure enough, this scene caught Lao Zi's attention, and Lao Zi began to attack Zhongshan.

The gigantic growth of the Qiudao clan not only improved their strength, but also improved their defense.Facing Lao Zi's attack, the gigantic Zhongshan survived for a while.

Seeing this, the other three people who retreated stabilized their position again and came up in coordination with Zhongshan's attack.

The half-tailed beast-like Lao Zi is obviously stronger, but Konoha Anbu and the four rely on tacit cooperation to resist Lao Zi's attacks time and time again.

Just like that, the half-tailed beast-like Lao Zi couldn't take down the Anbu four for a while.However, it can be clearly seen that the Anbu four-member group has fallen into a disadvantage, and the downfall is a matter of time.

However, Lao Zi is not satisfied with the current situation. He thinks that as a human being, he should win quickly.

It increased the release of the Tailed Beast Chakra again, and gradually the old Zi's figure disappeared, and the complete form of the four tails - a huge red orangutan appeared in front of Konoha and the others.

"Now I will show you the true power of the tailed beast." The red gorilla said with dissatisfaction.
