The Red Moon of Konoha

Chapter 213
"Akai, how do you feel? Hold on, the medical ninja will be here soon."

"It's okay, I'm just a little...tired."

"You don't look like you're fine no matter what you look like, that's fine, stop talking and just lie down." Holding down Maitekai who was struggling to stand up to prove that he was fine, Asuma Sarutobi shouted loudly, Urging the medical ninja to come over.

Watching the medical ninja who rushed over to check Maitekai's body.

Asma Sarutobi walked two steps away, leaned against the broken tree trunk, lit a cigarette, and puffed.

He needs the aroma of tobacco to relieve stress.

The death forest is completely finished, death is worthy of the name, but the forest has become a thing of the past. Fighting here, you can't see a decent tree, not even a tree with only half a trunk left behind him. Many, the local skin has been peeled off, and indeed there are not many surviving plants and trees left.

of course,

He doesn't care about the damage to the vegetation, and it's not the country of the wind and the country of the earth. He will be executed if he cuts down trees at will.

What is really heartbreaking are those Konoha ninjas who died in this fruitless battle, including his friends and his clan... The battle was still controlled in the death forest at the beginning, but when Uchiha Nagarjuna and Beryuhu unleashed those monsters.

The battlefield expanded.

The death toll immediately spiked.

Those monsters are not so powerful, but their tenacious vitality makes people feel extremely troublesome. Hokage-sama can use kunai to harvest the lives of hundreds of enemies in an instant on the battlefield, but these strange monsters are not kunai A swab on the neck would kill it.

Even with detonating talismans, more than [-] detonating talismans must be gathered together to detonate a monster.

Even if Hokage-sama made a move, the three powerhouses of the Uchiha family were forced to give up the siege of Uchiha Nayuki, and turned around to deal with these monsters, but they still caused some unstoppable sacrifices. There was more than one piece of news. When everyone tried their best to destroy these monsters, the two heinous rebels, Uchiha Nagari and Beryuhu, also disappeared in the chaos.

"Asma, are you alright?"

With a green vest, blue trousers, and Jonin's standard attire, Kuroyuki walked slowly to Sarutobi Asma.

She didn't play much use in this battle. As a phantom ninja, facing the sharing eyes of the Uchiha family, she is really useless, unless it is the unique blood succession limit of the Kurama clan, otherwise , Don't even think about competing with Uchiha in illusion.

It's a pity that the talent of the Pommel Horse Clan has withered. Since the death of the extremely old patriarch six years ago, the Pommel Horse Clan has gone into decline. Even though there is still a talented girl who has awakened the limit of Blood Successor, it is a pity that... ··She has no way to control that power, so she can only imprison it in the forest far away from the village.

"How's your situation over there?"

Asma dusted off the cigarette ash, asked rhetorically without answering.

Kureni Yuhi had studied medical ninjutsu in order to exercise her ability to manipulate Chakra. She was considered a half-baked medical ninja. Before the reinforcements from the medical class arrived, she was helping to take care of the wounded.

"The reinforcements from the medical squad are here, so I don't need to get in the way."

Xi Hihong pursed her lips, she was not in a good mood either.

Looking at the broken corpses, injured ninjas, and ruined land... It feels like returning to the third Ninja World War. This extremely bad association makes people feel depressed, even if it is the third In the first ninja world war, not a single plant or tree in Konoha was hurt.

This time, Konoha turned into a battlefield.

Even if only in some areas.

The two stood silently on the dilapidated wasteland, and fell silent.

----

"Master Naruto, the statistics list is out."

"How many people were sacrificed?"

"The Anbu lost seven jounin, 25 special jounin, three johnin were lost by the police force, 51 were chuunin, and 19 villagers died..."

"One hundred and six people were sacrificed!"

Minato stood by the window, his eyes were slightly red.

The deep voice lost its usual calmness.

Nara Shika, who was still pale, smiled wryly for a long time, one hundred and six people, this is really a lot of deaths, especially the loss of ten jounin, this number really makes people feel distressed, even if the Konoha family has a great career, But no one would dislike too many jonin in their own family.

"Lu Jiu, this time, we are too impulsive."

Water Gate said quietly.

He stood by the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky, but his heart was not bright at all.

"Obviously knowing that Uchiha Ryuki formed an organization called Xuya Palace, but just staring at Uchiha Ryuki blindly, ignoring other existences... This time it's just those monsters without wisdom. Once, if the so-called ten blades attack together, what should Konoha do to resist?"

ten blades.

Although Yokoko was unable to reveal the information about Ten Blades due to the seal of the curse, Minato confirmed from the side that none of the members of Ten Blades was easy-going. Even if Yokoko was captured alive by Uchiha Itachi, it was Uchiha Itachi I was caught off guard by one of them, not to mention that Konoha didn't have many masters comparable to Uchiha Itachi.

tonight,

Ten Blades members did not show up.

But the monsters that had appeared twice before appeared in Konoha in groups. Uchiha Ryuki's army of monsters with low intelligence, but extremely tenacious vitality and extremely high desire to destroy brought a new shock to Minato. , if it's one or two, that's all. With Konoha's power, it's more than enough to suppress.

But ten, hundreds, such a number is a bit tingling.

The biological research department under the root name dissected the monsters captured the first two times, and found that they had mixed genes of humans and animals, but did not get more rewards. At this time, Minato couldn't help but think of Orochimaru. Character, Orochimaru's research ability is much stronger than this group of useless waste.

"Hokage-sama, from my point of view, what happened this time...maybe an opportunity." Nara Shikahisa standing in front of the table said after deliberation.

"Oh? What do you say?"

Minato turned around and looked at Hokage Assistant who was like his right arm.

I look forward to some good news from this military strategist with outstanding IQ.

"In the past, we were trying to solve the threat of Uchiha Ryuki alone with our Konoha power, but this time it proved that Uchiha Ryuki did have enough power to truly threaten the safety of the village... I think it's time to contact other countries to deal with the threat of Uchiha Nagari." Nara Shikahisa spoke slowly.

"Unite...do you think it's time? So far Uchiha Nagaru has not shown any threat to other countries, but has been entangled with us. I am afraid that even if those guys receive the request for joint I just sit and watch the fun!" Minato asked back.

About uniting countries and gathering the power of the five major ninja villages to wipe out the unstable bomb Uchiha Ryuki... This topic has been mentioned before.

But this proposal was rejected for several reasons.

Unless the five major ninja villages have all suffered losses and face a common threat that cannot be ignored, don't want them to unite.

Regardless of the fact that the Five Kages Conference has been opened three times, except for the first Five Kages Conference, because of the existence of the two ominous gods of the first Hokage and Uchiha Madara, the system of one country and one village was established, and each village was assigned a tailed beast. , can be regarded as having certain substantive results.

It can be said that the second and third Five Kages Conference did not achieve anything.

The five kages who participated did not achieve any results except for quarreling. The five kages only returned to the village full of leisure, and then continued to fight with those who should start the war, and stood on the dry bank eating melon seeds to watch the excitement, unite and so on. Flowers in the mirror, moon in the water.

"Not to mention Iwanin and Cloud Ninja, the envoys of Mistnin and Sandnin were also present this time. They paid attention to the battle between us and Uchiha Ryuki this time. As long as those envoys are not idiots, they will definitely be able to I can see how terrible Uchiha Ryuki is, so I just need to tell them Uchiha Ryuki's plan to capture the Nine Tailed Beasts..."

Shikahisa smiled, "Ichio is the lifeblood of sand ninja, the unique sand art is obtained from Nidaime Kazekage's research on Ichio, they will never allow the loss of Ichio Jinchuriki As for Mist Shinobu, the Fourth Mizukage is the Three-Tailed Jinchuriki, and Uchiha Ryuki wants to capture the Tailed Beast, so he wants the life of this Mizukage."

Renzhuli's identity.

Especially the identity of Renzhuli who has not grown up, logically speaking, it is an absolute secret.

However, the Renjuriki in every village will almost always be discriminated against by the villagers. Just such a point makes it meaningless to keep Renzhuli's information secret. It is confirmed that the sand ninja boy carrying the gourd is the current Ichiro Jinchuriki.

To give another example, the incident where Kushina was kidnapped by Sand Ninja also proved that the identity of Injuriki is not a secret at all. In the eyes of those who don't know, the identity of Injuriki is naturally a secret among secrets , but in the eyes of insiders, Injuriki's identity is not a secret at all.

"Even if Mist and Sand Ninja refuse to unite, as long as they can raise their vigilance against Uchiha Nagari, it will not be a waste of energy." Nara Shikahisa said again.

Minato nodded slightly.

There is nothing wrong with this statement.

As long as it can bring obstacles to Uchiha Nagaru, it is valuable.

Even if you don’t know when Uchiha Nagari will start hunting the Nine Tailed Beasts, it’s time to disclose this matter to other countries, let’s talk about whether it will be successful or not to jointly deal with Uchiha Nagari, and let the major ninja villages be more vigilant so as not to be caught Uchiha Nagari easily succeeded, this kind of thing can still be done.

"Now the chunin exams can no longer go on, but the matter of inviting the fourth Kazekage and the fourth Mizukage to Konoha cannot be given up. It should be said that it is best for these two shadows to come to Konoha in person to discuss the joint matter. Letter After all, it is not as reliable as face-to-face interviews, and some things are more impactful when spoken face-to-face..."

Nara Shikaku's brain was running at full speed, thinking about how to fool Mist and Sand Ninja.

"By the way, Lu Jiu, what do you think about Yinyin Village?" Minato asked suddenly.

In view of the fact that Uchiha Ryuju is wearing the skin of Otoshi to swing Konoha, which also involves the existence of the poisonous snake Orochimaru, and now Uchiha Ryushu’s siege has failed again, and the investigation of Otoyin Village is inevitable. Okay, even if it is estimated that there will be no good news in the end, we still need to check what needs to be checked.

"Let the root investigate... don't worry?"

Shikahisa Nara understood Minato's worries.

Even though everyone thinks that they will never be able to catch Uchiha Ryukyu's tail in Yinyin Village now, but they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Maybe Uchiha Takumi is still in Yinyin Village before he can withdraw in time. No one dares to guarantee that it is impossible.

"I think... even if you find Uchiha Ryuki now, it doesn't make any sense. The Uchiha patriarch, Shisui, and Itachi have no power to fight for the time being, and Mite Kai has also lost his power. , Chief Hyuga was also wounded at the hands of Beiruhu..."

The meaning is self-evident.

The strength and power of Uchiha Ryuki should not be underestimated. This time, most of Konoha's power was assembled but Uchiha Ryuki was not able to deal with it. Even if Uchiha Ryuki's foothold was discovered, so what?If you can't beat it, it doesn't make you and practical sense.

Minato was speechless for a moment.

I sighed inwardly.

After all, this action was too impulsive, and he didn't plan well in advance. He wasted a lot of time to rescue the ninja candidates who were trapped in the forest of death. As a result, apart from the initial scuffle, he didn't confront Nagarjuna again. Use the Flying Thunder God technique to divert an attack from Yasaka's Gouyu.

When he pulled out his hand, Uchiha Ryuki had already summoned hundreds of monsters and scattered towards Konoha.

Among the options of not being sure whether he can kill Uchiha Ryuki and protect the villagers, Minato chose the latter without any surprise. He could only regret to watch Uchiha Ryuki and Beiruhu use the technique of time and space to leave. At the time, he was not only unwilling, but subconsciously relieved.

He really wanted to get rid of Uchiha Nagaru.

But if Konoha is the price, then he would rather wait for the next opportunity.

"I'm really worried... If you can, contact Jiraiya-sama, and you can ask Jiraiya-sama to investigate the information of Otogakure Village." Nara Shikahisa thought of a way,
"Ms. Jiraiya..."

Minato pinched his chin, and thought about it seriously, "In this way, we can also get Xiao Nan to act together with the teacher, which can be an extra insurance."

"The one from Yuyin Village? He is indeed a very good candidate."

Shikahisa Nara nodded in approval.

As long as Konoha's own manpower is not wasted, such a helping hand is really not too much at all. Now don't worry about how to fool Sand Ninja and Mist Ninja to deal with Uchiha Ryuki together.
