The Red Moon of Konoha

Chapter 231
The sky is high and the clouds are light, with a slight breeze.

In the forest outside Muye Village, the entrenched murderous aura frightened the surrounding birds, and even the animals in the forest avoided such a place far away. The crowded heads looked at a large area of ​​colorful, black heads, white heads, Red heads, yellow heads, green heads and more.

"Grandma, your body looks good!"

The crisp voice echoed in Chiyo's mother-in-law's ears.

The 72-year-old old man stared blankly at the handsome, red-haired grandson of a teenage boy in front of her. Countless words were stuck in her heart and she could not express them. She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. "Scorpion? How could you... look like this? Could it be that you..."

"I haven't seen you for such a long time, grandma, is that all you want to say?"

The corners of Scorpion's lips were slightly raised, and a radiant and wanton smile appeared on his delicate face.

"I thought grandma would kill me directly when you saw me, but I didn't expect you to be so soft-hearted... this is not okay! Fortunately, I am not hostile to you this time, otherwise it will not be so next time Good luck."

"Scorpion, are you really... a puppet? Have you completed this forbidden technique?"

The shock in Grandma Chiyo's heart has not subsided.

Xie, her grandson, just appeared in front of her.

And with that face that hardly changed when he betrayed the village, with her experience in studying puppetry for so many years, she quickly discovered the shortcomings of Xie's seemingly perfect dress, even a human puppet It is still not possible to 100% simulate the posture of a living person.

After discovering this, Grandma Chiyo was in a huge shock, she didn't know how to react for a while.

"Scorpion, why are you here?"

Next to him, Hai Laozang regained his composure faster than his sister, staring at Xie and this nephew with sharp eyes.

"Grandpa, you are still alive!"

This is very rude.

Unlike his grandmother who loved him since he was a child, this uncle, known as the number one think tank in Yinsha Village, didn't have much emotional communication with Xie, his nephew, and Xie didn't like this scary uncle with bright eyes, at least When I was a child, Xie didn't like to be close to this uncle.

"Your body is still strong!"

Hai Laozang doesn't care about Xie's impoliteness, he has already betrayed Ninja, killed three generations of Kazekage, and left so many spies in the village... This kid has already gone against the village, It's normal to be rude.

"Since you can appear here...you and Da Shemaru got together?"

Ebizo glanced at the snake-like man who was talking to someone not far away, "Oshemaru... I didn't expect you to join Orochimaru, no wonder I haven't heard from you in these years."

"Who will take refuge in that poisonous snake? Stop talking nonsense."

Scorpion glanced at Orochimaru with icy eyes, and said coldly: "My goal is Uchiha Nagarju, I just happen to be walking with you, just like you." He clenched his fists, and the puppet's limbs issued metal friction The voice, the cold body exudes the same cold and biting killing intent.

He still can't forget the defeat of Longyin Village.

That was the most desperate loss in his life. Facing Susano in the state of full body + immortality, the power enough to destroy mountains and seas is really frightening, even if he has transformed himself at that time Became a puppet, but still felt deep fear.

It is this fear that makes Scorpio feel humiliated.

Over the past ten years, he has continuously manufactured and improved human puppets, never forgetting to find the shame of Uchiha Ryuki.

Therefore,
When Orochimaru found him and asked him if he wanted to pick Uchiha Ryuki's place, he agreed without thinking too much, left his puppet workshop, and met his former colleagues from the "Akatsuki" organization. Capital, Ghost Lantern Jiyue.

Led by the unpleasant guy Orochimaru, they came to Konoha.

And it was wonderful to join this assault force organized by the Five Ninja Villages and commanded by the Five Kages.

At this moment, while Xie was reminiscing with his grandmother and uncle, Guideng Jiyue was also silently confronting his two nephews.

Guideng Jiyue, as a member of the Akatsuki organization in the later stage, did not participate in the battle of the Akatsuki organization to encircle and suppress Uchiha Ryuki in Longyin Village because of his partner with Orochimaru. The hot members left naturally, and after parting ways with Orochimaru, they began to wander in the ninja world.

At the beginning, he failed in the assassination of the father of the two brothers Guideng Manyue and Guideng Shuiyue, that is, the old patriarch of the Guideng clan, Guideng Wangyue. He escaped from the village in embarrassment and became a traitor. Over the years, he has never forgotten to kill the fog hidden village.

It's a pity that the strength of Wuyin Village is growing day by day, and the genius brothers of the Ghost Lantern family are also blooming with the brilliance of being greener than blue and better than blue.

The ghost lamp Jiyue wandered around like a lonely ghost, until he was approached by Orochimaru again and asked him if he wanted to get back from Uchiha Nagaruki - he was forced by Uchiha Nagaruki to defeat him. Then join the Akatsuki organization.

He thought about it and agreed.

It's idle anyway.

It's really boring to kill those stinky fish and rotten shrimps.

But he didn't expect to see two nephews here at Konoha, Orochimaru just said that he would cooperate with Konoha, and go to Xuye Palace together to find fault...

"Uncle Jiyue, after all these years, have you suffered enough?"

Looking at each other for a long time,
It was the Ghost Lamp Full Moon that first broke the weird atmosphere.

"...Are you trying to teach me a lesson? Full Moon."

"It's not a lesson, but I think it's time for you, Uncle Jiyue, to recognize the reality. The patriarch of the Ghost Lantern Clan is not your turn to sit. I won't pursue what happened back then. My father also said that he has I don't blame you for your behavior, as long as you are willing to return to the family and change your mind, I can withdraw the arrest warrant for you."

Ghost Lantern Moon had a calm smile on his face.

Obviously Guideng Jiyue is the uncle, and Guideng Manyue is just a nephew, but looking at the situation now, Guideng Manyue is more like an elder.

"Findaime Mizukage... I didn't expect another Mizukage to emerge from our ghost lantern family."

Guideng Jiyue had a complicated expression on his face. He looked at the Shuiying robe worn by Guideng Manyue, his eyes were a little dazed.

At the beginning, he tried to assassinate his elder brother Guideng Mochizuki just for the position of family patriarch, but he never thought that another Mizukage would appear in Guideng's family. He didn't even think about Mizukage's position...
"Uncle Jiyue, think about it carefully! I hope you can give me an answer when this matter is over."

Guideng Manyue left the words, turned around and took her younger brother to watch the excitement of Tuying.

······
"Stinky brat, get the hell out of here, old man."

"Old man, you are so annoying! Why don't you hurry up and lie in the coffin?"

"What did you say? Say it again? You little brat, do you believe I'm going to grind you to ashes right now?"

Ohno jumped angrily.

He looked at the apprentice standing far away, and his mood was extremely bad.

It never occurred to him that his apprentice, who likes to engage in terrorist attacks and causes trouble everywhere, would hang out with a scheming bitch like Orochimaru. As a result, when they met each other, the former master and apprentice would quarrel without any surprises. If it wasn't for the inappropriate situation , can directly fight with hands.

But even though he knew it was not the right time, after being choked up by the disciple, the old man shook his hands angrily, and it seemed that he could not help rubbing a big treasure with his hands to greet the traitor.

Deidara with her blonde ponytail folded her arms, raised her chin, and looked down at the grumpy teacher.

It should be said that they are masters and apprentices.

Didara knew very well that his teacher was the most shameful person talking to him with his nostrils.

Sure enough, it easily provoked the teacher's anger.

Although Didara felt a little guilty after Onoki was really angry, he was very confident in his explosion art, but the old man Onoki's dust escape technique is not a vegetarian anymore, and there is no distinction in the ninja world No, he, his apprentice, knows how strong the blood successors of the only family are.

That thing really dies when you rub it, and it dies when you touch it.

But losers don't lose.

He, Didara, never knew how to write the word bow, especially in front of the stinky old man Onoki, he would never admit that he was beaten to death.

"Come on, old man, do you think I'm afraid of you?" Didara stiffened his neck.

The corners of Onoki's eyes twitched.

Just before the old man really ran away, the young girl who had been watching for a long time stopped the grumpy grandpa, "Okay, grandpa, stop fighting with Didara, now is not the time to find fault with him, this action most important."

"Also, Deidara, please be quiet, you didn't come here to quarrel with grandpa, did you?"

Heitu comforted the pair of master and apprentice who disliked each other.

Didara didn't say anything more.

Onoki did not continue to find fault.

Didara was brought by Orochimaru. To be precise, he was hired by Jue. After defecting from Yanyin Village, Didara made a living by making bombs and helping people to create terrorist attacks. I want to use his bomb to solve the damn Void Palace.

Although he was a little grumpy.

And it will blow up all the things that are not pleasing to the eye.

But his professionalism is really good, and it didn't take much effort, so he definitely fooled Didala over, and hired such a powerful chess piece for a little money.

······
"Huh, so many rebellious ninjas... are they really reliable? They won't bite us back at critical moments, right?" Ai glanced at the S-level rebellious ninjas brought by Orochimaru. full of deep distrust.

As a village with few rebellious ninjas among the five great hidden villages, Yun Ren has always looked down on the frequent occurrence of rebellious ninjas in other villages.

I don't trust these traitors at all.

"I don't know that either."

Orochimaru spread his hands.

"You don't know who you brought here?"

Ai stared angrily.

"No way! They are traitors. If they can betray the village, they can also betray me. Strictly speaking, they are just a cooperative relationship with me, not my subordinates." Orochimaru looked at it with a smile Ai burst into flames.

"Raikage, there's no need to be angry, when the time comes, let these rebels go their own way."

Luo Sha stared at Xie who was still talking to Chiyo and Ebizo, "Anyway, we don't expect these traitorous ninjas to do anything big, it's enough to help us share a little pressure, don't place any hope on these traitorous ninjas, The final result is up to us.”

"That's true."

Ai nodded in agreement this time.

Orochimaru stood on the side, listening to the conversation between Luo Sha and Ai with a smile, and couldn't see any dissatisfaction.

"Shh!!!"

In the blink of an eye.

Minato suddenly appeared next to Shibukage and Orochimaru. It was not the first time they saw Minato using the Flying Raijin Jutsu, but every time Minato used the Flying Raijin Jutsu to appear next to them, they still couldn't help feeling Chill to the back of the neck.

Orochimaru is no exception.

The poisonous snake's pupils narrowed slightly, and it marveled at Minato's accomplishments in the Flying Thunder God Art.

"Is everyone here?"

The first time Minato appeared, he hurriedly asked.

"My people are here."

Orochimaru said.

The other four shadows didn't say a word, the people they led were just a few carefully selected masters.

This time it was Konoha who had the largest number of people in action.

"That's it, that's good."

Minato said such a sentence to Orochimaru, then left with a swipe, reappeared and came to Nara Shikaku's side, "Shikaku, everyone is almost here, right?"

"It's all here."

Shikahisa Nara nodded.

He handed Minato a circled list.

Jiraiya, Tsunade, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, Uzumaki Kushina, Hyuga Higashi, Mai Te Dai, Mai Te Kai, Hatake Kakashi, Minazuki White, Kaguya Jun Ma Lu and Uchiha Ruri, this lineup can't be said to be the best of Konoha's strength.

In order to prevent their lair from being raided during their expedition to the Xuye Palace.

After all, there was still energy left.

People like Nara Shikahisa, Hinata Hizuru, and Sarutobi Asma are not on the list, and children like Naruto and Sasuke will not take them. They are the future of Konoha.

Minato pinched the list, looked around, looked at the faces that were either familiar or unfamiliar, and sighed quietly in his heart. This time, he didn't know how many people would come back alive. I hope... I hope more people can return to the village.

He prayed secretly in his heart.

"Lu Jiu, I leave the affairs of the village to you."

"Master Hokage, this is my duty."

"That... Lujiu, if, I said if, if something unexpected happened to this operation... I left a letter in the bottom drawer of the desk." Minato lowered his voice , pulling Nara Shikahisa to move to the Hokage Rock where no one is around.

"Lord Hokage!"

Nara Shikahisa frowned.

"If, I said what if."

Minato smiled and waved.

"I...understood." Nara Shikahisa agreed.

"Then, I'll leave it to you."

After the words fell, Minato had disappeared, leaving only Nara Shikahisa standing on the Hokage Rock, looking at the Konoha Village, which has more than doubled in size from ten years ago, with unresolved worries.
