Konoha's New Third Hokage

The Dust Release previously used by Onoki destroyed the positions of two Konoha ninjas. Although there were no casualties, it caused a gap in the fire suppression of the detonating cannon, allowing the Iwagakure ninjas to breathe again, and the crumbling town once again held on. Go down.

The Konoha ninja side was almost about to win, but their efforts were in vain because of Onoki's appearance. Our side was almost at its limit. There was not much ammunition left for the detonating cannon. If the fight continued, they would have to go into battle in person. And this was exactly It was what the Iwagakure ninja expected.

Fengmori Masaki felt that it would be meaningless to continue like this, and both sides should regroup. He just said this to Ohnoki, and Ohnoki finally took a look and came to the same judgment.

"Is this okay? It's over like this. Can we finally get it down?" Ohnoki asked.

"Are you planning to continue fighting?" Fengmori Masaki said with some surprise. Just when Onoki's heart was aroused, he continued: "Forget it, if you continue to fight, you will have to pay heavy losses, not necessarily If you can stabilize the results, please come back in the future.”

"This bastard." Onoki gritted his teeth and whispered, taking a deep breath, "You can go back if you want. What does it have to do with us? We still want you to go back."

"Although I want to say this, everyone seems reluctant. They are all watching the battle between us change the stalemate." Feng Senzhenghui looked at the people below, "They may not have had a deep impression just now. Next, Come down and let them see Kage’s battle.”

With that said, Fengmori Masaki flew out again, this time even faster, and Ohnoki had been guarding Fengmori Masaki for a long time. The moment the opponent moved, he also took action immediately.

Next, the Iwagakure ninja and the Konoha ninja on the ground saw their shadows engaging in a fierce pursuit in the sky. The two figures passed by at high speed in the sky, drawing complex curves one after another. This is In the traditional sense of the ninja world, aerial combat is also a rare battle.

Just like Fengmori Masaki said, he did not plan to solve Ohnoki in this battle. The experienced Ohnoki is very difficult to deal with and is not suitable here. Ohnoki also thinks so. Of course, the killings used by both sides There were still a lot of moves, but none of them were able to kill the opponent.

Everyone in the local area seemed to realize that there was no way to win or lose between the Hokage and the Tsuchikage all at once, and gradually came up with the idea of ​​regrouping and deciding the winner next time.Noticing that the intensity of the fighting in the area had decreased, Fengmori Masaki and Onoki also stopped, keeping their distance at high altitude as before.

Ohnoki breathed slowly. He was not young anymore. Among ninjas, he was considered to be the golden age with the best fighting ability. However, as a ninja, his physique was no longer the best. It was not as good as Fengmori Masaki's young body. His There were also many cuts on the face caused by Feng Dun, and blood slowly seeped out.

On the opposite side, Fengmori Masaki was as before, looking like he had never fought at all, his breathing was still calm, and he said to Ohnoki: "It's time to end, why don't you think about my suggestion carefully."

"No matter what, I am a ninja under the daimyo. Whether it ends or not is not up to me. As long as the daimyo still chooses war, I will fight with all my strength." Onoki said, panting.

"It's best not to be so stubborn, otherwise you may get yourself into trouble. You are the leader of Iwagakure Ninja Village." Fengmori Masaki heard this and said meaningfully.

"Hmph!" Ohnoki glared at Fengmori Masaki and floated back. Fengmori Masaki did not continue to catch up. After watching him leave, he returned to the Konoha ninja position.

After Masaki Fengmori returned to the position, he ordered a retreat. After seeing that the only thing that could change the situation of the battle was the inexorable battle of shadows, everyone put aside their struggle to win the town and packed up their ninja tools and headed to the camp. They retreated, and the Iwagakure ninjas had no intention of pursuing them, and they themselves suffered heavy losses.

In this battle, both sides fought hard to lose. However, the enemy's Tsuchikage Onoki was successfully delayed, which will provide data for the next combat adjustment.Next time, I will definitely not make the mistake of letting the Tsuchikage eliminate two positions. If it weren't for this incident, the Konoha ninjas would definitely be able to take down the town.

Shortly after Masaki Fengmori returned to the camp, his close confidant Yamazaka Takumi asked his doubts: "Lord Hokage, why don't you kill the Third Tsuchikage? He is obviously at a disadvantage in the battle with you. Bar?"

Yamanaka Takuma came here as an intelligence officer integrating the land of grass and other places. He had already resigned from the post of secretary and once again took on this responsibility. Following Fengmori Masaki, he followed Fengmori. Zhenghui has been around for a long time. As an intelligence ninja, he is also proficient in analysis and his judgment on battles is very practical, so he is puzzled.

"Sometimes you have to do something if you can win." Fengmori Masaki said, "First of all, I can definitely beat Ohnoki, but first of all, it is very troublesome. Secondly, if I kill him, it will have a bad impact. Suppose For a moment, if I am killed by Ohnoki, what will happen to you?"

"Then it will definitely avenge Hokage-sama." Yamanaka Takuma said without thinking, and then he understood, "I see, because you don't want the Iwagakure ninja to be defeated, don't you plan to kill the third Tsuchikage?"

"Well, we are not prepared to completely eliminate the Kingdom of Earth. The focus now is to completely suppress the Kingdom of Wind and isolate the Kingdom of Water. It can be said that the sooner the battle is ended in the Kingdom of Earth, the better. We don't need to remain in a stalemate with them. Go down, that will not be good for us, so there is no need to do such a nasty thing." Fengmori Masaki nodded, "Instead of killing Ohnoki, it may be more beneficial to make the third Tsuchikage perform poorly, which can weaken the opponent's will to fight. .”

"Thinking about it this way, your goal has been achieved. The third Tsuchikage returned in a very embarrassed state. I guess the Iwagakure ninjas will also think that his strength is inferior to Hokage-sama." Yamanaka Takuma said.

"It's okay to have such an idea. Sometimes you can achieve your goals by being gentler." Feng Senzhenghui smiled, "We must also take this into consideration when formulating the battle plan. I may not be able to stop it in time. When Ohnoki uses Dust Escape, you must also be careful to repeat the situation where the two positions were destroyed today."

"I understand." Yamanaka Takuma nodded, and then went out to convey the Hokage's meaning to the front-line ninjas in the camp.

Fengmori Masaki stayed in the camp for a while, silently considering the future situation. At this time, he got a signal from the ANBU requesting a meeting, so he straightened his mind and said, "Come in."

The ANBU members appeared silently in front of Fengmori Masaki and reported to him what happened in the Kingdom of Kawa and the Kingdom of Rain. Masaki Fengmori listened and his expression slowly sank.

#

Ohnoki angrily returned to his room in the castle and closed the door heavily. Someone wanted to meet, but Ohnoki scolded him out. Knowing that the Tsuchikage was angry now, the others had no intention of touching Ohnoki's brow. Ohnoki was nothing. Good-natured person.

Ohnoki wiped the blood on his face, and a slight sting made him take a breath. He felt very heavy. After the battle just now, he had an intuitive understanding of Fengmori Masaki's strength. Although he was unwilling to admit it, However, Masahiro Fengsen may not be able to win on his own.

From the beginning to the end, Ohnoki never had a chance to release his Dust Release, which can be used as a winner. Dust Release requires the combination of three chakra attributes, which requires a lot of energy. Even if he is very skilled in using it, the release speed is no less than An ordinary ninjutsu, but compared to a fast-attack ninja like Fengmori Masaki, it is still too slow.

As for other ninjutsu, there is almost no threat to Fengmori Masaki. The powerful wind escape can almost cut off any earth escape. There is no need to use wind escape in front of the opponent, and the only restrained fire escape will also be used by the opponent. As a result Get yourself involved.

"No wonder this guy can beat that guy from the Sarutobi family and become the Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village." Onoki muttered, "I can't find any weaknesses. There must be something wrong with that guy's strength. Is it related to our chakra?" Same place.”

However, Onoki didn't know that it was the power of immortals. It was a legend that was too old. He had never seen it with his own eyes. Even if he knew it, he couldn't put it together. However, he had already suspected Fengsen Masaki's investigation. I plan to think carefully about the special nature of the carat.

It was not until night that Onoki calmed down, and went out to summon the Iwagakure ninjas in the city, telling them to adjust well. He would mobilize troops from other places and would never let the Konoha Ninja Village succeed. At the same time, he was also concerned about Fengsen. Masaki said that people should collect information about the combat situation between Sunagakure Ninja Village and Kirigakure Ninja Village.

In Onoki's view, compared with their Iwagakure Ninja Village, these two Ninja Villages are simply mud that cannot hold up the wall, and they can hardly achieve any effective results. With these two burdens, the Kingdom of Earth may really It was difficult to hold on, and if there was no good news yet, he might want to talk to the daimyo.

Unexpectedly, the Sunagakure Ninja Village, which has always been regarded as a drag, actually brought good news this time. The two ambush battles against the Konoha Ninja Village achieved great results, although for the Sunagakure Ninja Village, it was not. They did not achieve their original strategic goal, but Onoki felt that this was good news. At least it proved that these guys were still somewhat useful.

Onoki gained a little more confidence and felt that he would have to wait and see the situation. Even if the Konoha Ninja Village performed very well, it might just be a strong one but a weak one, which would be exposed over time. This time, the performance of the Sunagakure Ninja Village might be a Signal!

So Onoki planned to have a good fight with Fengmori Masaki, but found that the Konoha ninjas actually began to switch from offense to defense and were no longer as aggressive as before. This made him feel a little surprised, and discussed with the Iwagakure ninja commanders After a moment, he didn't know what the Konoha ninja was thinking.

"Did the battles in the Kingdom of Kawa and the Kingdom of Rain hit them? They may really be dying." Someone said optimistically, "Yes, in the face of a third-line battle, even the Konoha Ninja Village cannot Just hold on steady.”

"It's not that simple. Although the Konoha ninjas switched from offense to defense, they are still very calm and don't look like they are panicking. They must have other purposes." Someone gave an objection.

Onoki also agreed with the latter's opinion. He did not think that the Konoha Ninja Village would decline so quickly. There must be other reasons. If Onoki knew the details of the Battle of Kawa no Kuni, he might be able to understand the reasons, but Now he could only guess.

"In any case, since the Konoha Ninjas are not planning to attack, we can take advantage of this period of time to recover." Onoki said, "The main task next is to restore our energy and focus on intelligence investigation. If we know that there is indeed an internal problem with the Konoha Ninjas, It’s our chance to fight back.”

The Iwagakure ninjas seemed a little excited. They had not taken the initiative to attack for a long time. They were beaten by the Konoha ninjas and were depressed. If they could really fight back, they believed that their morale would be very strong. With this idea, Ohnoki's previous poor performance also appears to be left behind.

Seeing everyone's performance, Onoki breathed a sigh of relief. He was actually a little worried that his embarrassed appearance in front of Fengmori Masaki would put pressure on the Iwagakure ninjas. It was just right to take the opportunity to move now, but in the next step You must fight well in the battle, otherwise the morale you have built up will weaken again.

Next, the Kingdom of Grass entered a rare calm, and only the Kingdom of Thunder was still active. After seeing the Konoha ninjas stop attacking, the Kumogakure Ninja Village also slowed down its offensive due to doubts. , and people asked the reason, but did not get a definite answer. It just meant that the strategy was being readjusted.

Uchiha Setsuna's betrayal was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Konoha Ninja Village. The matter of ambushing the top management really had a very serious impact. Masaki Fengmori could not simply let it go. He personally signed the order to let The Anbu is conducting an internal investigation. Anyone who has anything to do with Uchiha Setsuna will be investigated. Those with definite evidence will be arrested directly and dealt with later. Those with doubts will be suspended. Except for those who have no relationship at all, no one has been cleared yet. come out.

This kind of internal cleanup cannot be known to the enemy, at least until the dust has settled and the most volatile period has passed. Fortunately, the espionage capabilities of Konoha Ninja Village can ensure this, and everyone's investigation results will be After analysis, it was sent to Feng Senzhenghui.

Masahiro Fengsen has no intention of carrying out a large-scale internal cleansing of a certain Soviet in his previous life. That would create a situation in which everyone is in danger, which is no different from a reign of terror. It will have a bad impact in the long run and involve many innocent people. Masahiro Fengsen does not need to do this. He only needs to find the real betrayer, there is no need to expand the execution.

This incident also allowed Fengmori Masaki to accurately capture the figure of a certain existence for the first time.
