I teach kendo in the ninja world

Outside Qingyu Island.

Two thousand elite fog ninjas surrounded the entire island.

"Lord Qianyue, let me lead the little ones to charge for a while!"

Kaguya Cyborg's clothes were in tatters and covered in blood. Even when he opened his mouth to speak, the pungent smell of blood could be smelled between his teeth, coupled with his crazy smile.

It was obvious that he was already high.

Let me put it bluntly, this is indeed the most enjoyable battle that Kaguya Cyborg has fought in the past ten years!

The Konoha ninjas were focused on escaping and had no intention of fighting. He just needed to throw himself into the crowd and dance casually.

The Dance of the Willows, the Dance of the Tsubaki, the Dance of the Karamatsu, the Dance of the Maiden Flower, and the Dance of the Yaege, the ancestral dances of the Kaguya clan are one after another, entering and exiting Konoha's formation seven times.

Except for Jiraiya, no one else could do anything to him.

One is that his speed is so fast that no one can keep up except for the jounin of the Hyuga clan who specializes in taijutsu.

Originally, if the jonins of the Akimichi clan were still there, they wouldn't be able to restrain him if they joined forces, but unfortunately, they were all drowned in the vast sea.

The second and most important reason is that because the Konoha ninjas retreated in a hurry, the ninjas carried on the backs of the dozen toads were not distributed according to the optimal solution of combat power.

So obviously some people can restrain Kaguya Cyborg very well when paired together, but they just can't get together.

After all, it's impossible for Kirigakure Village to just let him charge into the battle alone, right?

In this battle, except for Jiraiya who stepped into sage mode at the last moment, Konoha was at a disadvantage from high-end combat power to tactical arrangements.

It is normal to have such a failure.

After all, they are still a little too arrogant.

The sea is a very unfamiliar territory to 80.00% of the ninjas in the ninja world.

It would be weird to rush in so recklessly and not get a bloody blow!

However, just when Kaguya Cyborg still wanted to continue dancing, Ghost Light Qianyue was not ready to continue playing music for him.

"Cyborg, you have killed enough during the day, don't forget what our strategic goal is."

If it were anyone else, seeing Kaguya Cyborg's evil, bloodthirsty and crazy expression, they would probably not dare to look directly at him and speak.

But Ghost Lantern Qianyue is different.

He is so good at steel, no matter how crazy the other person is, he won't even frown.

"We don't need to exchange blood with Konoha. The current results are enough."

Ghost Lantern Qianyue raised her head and looked at the Land of Fire from a distance, "Konoha Village's invincible coat has been torn apart by us. It can no longer use the false strength of the past to cover up its current weakness. Those who smell the smell of blood Jackals, it’s time to take action..."

……

At this time, Jiraiya, who was besieged on Qingyu Island, also made a difficult decision.

"Ask for help from the village..."

When he said this, his voice was extremely difficult.

Because he knew very well what this war meant.

This is Konoha's battle of revenge against Kirigakure, and it is also a battle to intimidate other ninja villages to establish their power!

If this battle is successful and Kirigakure Village obediently surrenders and cedes territory to pay compensation, other villages will definitely be frightened by Konoha's domineering power and dare not move lightly.

But if this battle is lost...

Then the scene of fire all over the Kingdom of Fire is right in front of you!

And his request for help was undoubtedly an admission that everything he had done so far had failed, not only wasting time, but also sacrificing the lives of countless companions.

Someone must be held responsible for such a fiasco.

Jiraiya is not an irresponsible person, he is also willing to take responsibility for this.

but……

Although he is somewhat naive in character, he is not stupid.

If even he, one of the three powerful ninjas, failed, then if he wanted to inspire the villagers' desire to win again, wouldn't it be the Hokage's turn to play in person?

Looking back at the past, how many years has it been since the Hokage of Konoha went to the battlefield in person?

It has been almost 30 years since the First Ninja War.

Konoha, has finally reached a critical situation where even the Hokage has to go to the battlefield?

Moreover, Jiraiya also had another worry in his heart.

The strength between him and Orochimaru has always been about the same. The reason why he is often slightly inferior to Orochimaru when competing with each other is because he does not know how to use many of the more dangerous moves and tactics when facing Orochimaru.

After experiencing the blessing of Sage Mode, he was convinced that he must have surpassed Orochimaru in terms of strength now.

In this case, even if Orochimaru really comes in person as Hokage, can he really break through the current predicament?

Jiraiya wasn't sure.

In his opinion, unless Konoha can have a sufficiently stable marching base, or a sea fortress, no ship can be saved in the face of Kirigakure's joint water escape.

And once the ship cannot be saved, today's story will inevitably repeat itself.

If even the Hokage's personal expedition fails, then Konoha will truly be pushed to the edge of the cliff.

In view of this, he wrote it very clearly in his request for help.

First of all, he was willing to take responsibility for the defeat of this war, but he begged the village to give him another chance and he was willing to issue a military order.

In addition, he described in detail all the methods used by Kirigakure Village this time, hoping that the village could work together to come up with targeted solutions.

Finally, since there were many wounded here, he hoped to have Tsunade come over.

……

Konoha.

The news from Jiraiya was immediately sent to the acting Hokage Orochimaru.

"How's it going? Where did Jiraiya and the others hit?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo were also in the Hokage's office, looking slightly anxious and expectant.

Orochimaru opened the letter, his golden vertical pupils suddenly trembled, and his face that had been smiling just now suddenly turned gloomy.

"Jiraiya...failed..."

"What? Failed? What happened? How is this possible? He took away five thousand of the most elite ninja troops!"

After Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned for a moment, he spat out a series of questions even more anxiously, his mouth shaking like the barrel of a continuous cannon.

Shimura Danzo also visibly darkened his face: "What exactly happened? Could it be that Kirigakure Village used tailed beasts?"

They felt that they really couldn't figure it out. Just Kirigakure. Aren't the families over there all losers who were driven into the sea by Senju and Uchiha?

When will a group of villages built by people who settled down to keep themselves warm can stand at the head of Konoha and shout about it?

Could it be...that times have changed?

Orochimaru directly spread out the information, and the three of them lay on the table and looked at it carefully.

"The blood-eyed shark that can self-destruct can also be transmitted to a bitten ninja?!"

"An endless number of sharks that can repair themselves, super large joint water escape..."

Jiraiya didn't hide anything, and recorded all the problems he encountered on it in detail.

After reading it, the three of them fell into silence at the same time.

Obviously, after they put themselves into Jiraiya's position at that time, they couldn't think of any better solution.

However, Danzo still said with the thought of "Although I can't do it even if I do it, I didn't do it anyway, so I can fuck as I want":

"How did Jiraiya direct it? How could he dive directly into the encirclement of others? And the large water type. It would definitely take a long time to coordinate so many people to perform ninjutsu together. At this time, he If you don’t hurry up and interrupt, what are you doing?”

However, just when he was spraying Jiraiya wildly, a low and hoarse voice sounded: "How about, Elder Danzo, you take over Jiraiya's position?"

When he looked up, he saw a pair of golden snake eyes staring at him faintly.

Danzo suddenly felt a chill in his heart and remained silent.

"It hasn't been long since I became Hokage. Why is Orochimaru becoming more and more powerful? If this continues..."

Danzo Shimura muttered secretly in his heart.

"So who should we send to support?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen brought the topic back on track.

"That kind of self-exploding shark that can spread toxins through blood, does Sarutobi-sensei know the principle behind it?" Orochimaru asked.

"I'm not sure. I need to go back and look through the information." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

"If this problem cannot be solved, it will be useless whoever we send to support. There are countless schools of fish in the sea, and no ship of any kind can withstand endless bombing."

Orochimaru shook his head.

"No, there is a ship that can."

Danzo suddenly spoke, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes.

"Ok?"

Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen turned their heads at the same time.

"Ships made of wood! Wooden can repair itself. As long as you use wood to build a ship, you won't be afraid of them blowing it up!" Danzo said with confidence.

"You're crazy, Danzo! What kind of wood escape is there in Konoha now?" Sarutobi Hiruzen scolded.

"That's exactly what I want to say," Danzo smiled coldly, "Hiruzhan, you don't know yet, right? Orochimaru and I have already started studying Wood Release."

"What?! You..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked, his eyes darted back and forth between Danzo and Orochimaru, not knowing what to say.

"Stop being pedantic Hiruzen! Konoha has reached its most dangerous moment now, and we need the power of the first generation!"

Danzo stood up and sounded excited.

"Besides, are you willing to be a useless person forever?"

He raised his arm that was tightly wrapped with bandages, "Although Tsunade can't help us reattach our severed limbs, the Wood Release, which is famous for its vitality, might be able to! Konoha is in the most critical moment, you Are you willing to sink like this?"

I don't know which sentence touched Sarutobi Hiruzen. He was silent for a long time, raised his eyelids, and said in a solemn voice: "So, haven't you already started researching and succeeded?"

"no!"

Danzo shook his head, "But we have a new idea!"

"Oh, what do you say?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen became a little interested.

"There is something wrong with the experimental materials we used before!"

Danzo tapped the floor with his crutch, "The materials we used in the past were all captured from other countries. Their bloodline was too far away from the first generation, so the suitability was not high. If..."

"Danzo, do you still want to attack your comrades in the village?!"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a frightened and angry Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although he also had one hand hanging on his chest, Sarutobi Hiruzen's momentum was obviously much greater than that of Danzo.

Therefore, Danzo shifted his attention: "How can this be said to be a move? This is obviously making a contribution to the village..."

Faced with Sarutobi Hiruzen's glare, his voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke, and finally he had no choice but to ask Orochimaru for help: "Hokage-sama, what do you think?"

"Orochimaru, you researched all this?!"

Obviously, Danzo's attempt to divert the trouble eastward was successful.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who knew Shimura Danzo very well, knew very well that his old classmate didn't have much research talent at all. Most of what he could say right now was what he heard from elsewhere.

And in this other place, besides Orochimaru, who else could be there?

Facing the glare of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru remained as calm as ever:

"Sarutobi-sensei, calm down."

He raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down. There was no need to be so tense, and then said slowly:

"This guess was indeed made by me..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen had the urge to stand up again, so he quickly increased his speaking speed.

"But I haven't put it into practice. It's just a guess."

After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down again and said earnestly: "Orochimaru, you are now the Hokage. The Hokage is the one who wants to burn himself to protect the village. You must not go astray!"

Having said this, he specifically glanced sideways at Danzo next to him: "Especially, don't be too influenced by Danzo!"

"Sun Cut..."

"you shut up!"

"..."

"Haha," seeing the conversation between the two of them, Orochimaru smiled hoarsely, "Teacher, don't worry, I naturally have my own ideas and will not be easily influenced by others. But..."

"But what?"

"But I think Elder Danzo's suggestion just now is not without merit..."

"Orochimaru!"

"Listen to me, Sarutobi-sensei. I can lower the concentration of the cell fluid, which is not enough for people to awaken the Wood Release. I just do a skin test for them...and there won't be too many people."

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth and expressed his thoughts.

"After all, Mr. Sarutobi, Jiraiya's letter asking for help is right in front of us. Our time... is really running out."

When Sarutobi heard this, he was silent for a long time.

"Then can you guarantee that the lives of those who undergo skin testing will never be in danger?"

"can."

"I had to see them intact!"

"That's fine. Just so we have selected the two families in the village who are closest to the First Lord in terms of blood. Please take a look, Mr. Sarutobi."

Orochimaru took out two files from the drawer and pushed them to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"This is... Haruno Zhao and Kaze Matsaki?"

"Yes, when the First Lord ordered the Senju clan to be disbanded, most of the Senju clan members removed their surnames from Senju and settled in Konoha with their original names as their new surnames. Senju Haruno and Senju Kazemori were both quite popular at the time. The outstanding Thousand Hands people, and their descendants..."

Orochimaru pointed at the photo of the two of them.

"After investigation, it was found that both of them possess chakra with two attributes: water and earth, and their compatibility with wood escape is very high."
