The mechanical empire that started with Naruto.

Naruto was moved by huge chakra, and just when he turned around, he saw a red energy ball rising slowly from the ground.

Then Naruto heard an earth-shattering explosion piercing the battlefield of Konoha's large forces, which caused tinnitus in Naruto's ears.

As the explosion sounded, a wave of energy spread around, and all the trees at the explosion site were uprooted.

Even where Naruto and Ghost Light Mangetsu were, there was an energy shock.

Naruto easily blocked the energy wave. Naruto didn't care about the energy impact. What he cared about was the person who sent out the attack.

You know, in Naruto's perception, this attack can already be compared with the Nine-Tailed Tailed Beast Jade, how can this not surprise Naruto.

Naruto looked at the place where the explosion occurred, and then at the confused Ghost Light Full Moon. Naruto secretly denied that it was the Kirigakure Village's method.

As the leader of Kiriyin Village, Ghost Light Full Moon doesn't know anything about it, so it shouldn't be the method of Kiriyin Village, otherwise Ghost Light Full Moon wouldn't have this expression.

Of course, Naruto was just suspicious. What if Ghost Man Yue's acting skills were hidden from him?

If Konoha had such a method, it might be hidden. Of course, it is the current Konoha. If it was the past Konoha, I wish the whole ninja world knew about it. After all, Konoha used to be the strongest, and it could be said that it was omnipotent. fear.

But things are different now, times have changed...

Thinking about it, Naruto didn't care about Ghost Lantern Full Moon. Naruto knew very well that it was impossible to kill Ghost Lantern Full Moon in a short time. The secret technique of Ghost Lantern Full Moon also annoyed Naruto.

So Naruto simply ignored the ghost lamp full moon and rushed directly towards the place where the explosion occurred. Naruto wanted to know whose method it was.

Looking at Naruto leaving, Gui Deng Man Yue gritted his teeth and headed in this direction.

After all, the ninjas of Kirigakure Village are all over there. If anything happens to them, Kito Mangetsu feels that she will be killed by Terumi Mei.

And Gui Deng Man Yue also wants to know what happened?

……

Just when Naruto and Ghost Man Yue rushed here, everyone at the explosion site was dumbfounded and stayed there quietly, staring stupidly at the disaster that looked like a meteorite landing in front of them.

Looking at the big pit in front of them, many ninjas unconsciously threw their weapons, with incredible expressions on their faces, and murmured "How is this possible?"

"What kind of person am I fighting?"

"Just kidding..."

……

At this time, the consciousness of many Konoha ninjas collapsed directly. They had witnessed Hiruzen Sarutobi being attacked. Since it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who attacked, the attacker must be someone from Kirigakure Village.

Unlike the Konoha ninjas, although the people in Kirigakure also looked incredulous, when the people in Kirigakure reacted, they immediately cheered.

Like the Konoha ninja, in the opinion of the Kirigakure, although they don't know who attacked, since the other party attacked Sarutobi Hiruzen, it means that the other party is one of their own, and one of their own has such power, so that Kirigakure The people in the village suddenly became full of confidence.

How can our Kirigakure Village not win with such a character?

However, at this time, everyone's focus was not on the opponent, but on Hiruzen Sarutobi. Everyone wanted to know whether Hiruzen Sarutobi could survive such an attack.

This is because the center of the pit is not concave but convex, which also makes people feel that Sarutobi Hiruzen may survive.

But that's it, everyone in Kirigakure Village felt that it was unlikely that Hiruzen Sarutobi would survive such an attack.

Just as everyone was paying attention, Naruto and Ghost Light Man Yue also arrived at the scene and saw the reactions of the people present.

Naruto and Ghost Man Yue also looked at the huge pit at the same time.

At this moment, the raised mound of earth was pushed away, and Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared in the pit with a pale face.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen came out, he cursed in his heart when he saw the environment around him!

Is this what people do?

How did I suffer this experience?

All six defensive ninjutsu failed, if Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't felt a huge sense of danger when the attack was coming, and asked Hiruzen Sarutobi to form another seal and activate the ninjutsu.

However, the ninjutsu Sarutobi Hiruzen performed this time was not a defensive ninjutsu, but an offensive ninjutsu.

"Earth Release: The art of beheading in the heart."

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not attack but dived underground. It was Hiruzen Sarutobi's move that saved his own life.

When they saw Sarutobi Hiruzen coming out, everyone in Kirigakure had expressions of disbelief. They didn't expect that the opponent would survive such an attack.

Contrary to the situation in Kirigakure Village, Konoha became happy after seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen come out safely.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen-sama is awesome!"

"He is worthy of being called the strongest Hokage. He is so powerful. He actually survived such an attack!"

"Sandaime-sama is so awesome!"

……

Just as everyone in Konoha was cheering, Zabuza came in from behind and saw Zabuza arriving.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but blurt out.

"It's you?"

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Naruto, who was still looking for someone just now, and the disappointed Ghost Mangetsu all looked at Zabuza.

They also understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant and suspected that Zabuza was the one who attacked.

Seeing the suspicion in everyone's eyes, Zabuza looked at everyone's eyes with a helpless expression on his face.

"If I were that strong, you Konoha would be finished long ago, and I still let you laugh and laugh in front of me."

Hearing Zabuza, everyone present also nodded. If Zabuza had such strength, how could Konoha persist until now.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Naruto did not let go of their suspicions. After all, the other party's suspicions were too great, and it was impossible to remove Zabuza's suspicions with just one sentence.

However, there was one person who felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen's judgment was correct, and that person was Ghost Light Mangetsu.

Oni Deng Mangetsu knew very well that Zabuza had not made too many moves against Konoha in the past two years. Except for Zabuza who intercepted the enemy a few times at the beginning, he rarely made any moves later.

After all, Kito Mangetsu once competed with Zabuza for Mizukage, so there was some friction between them, and through these frictions, Kito Mangetsu learned about Zabuza's approximate strength.

At first, Kito Mangetsu thought Zabuza was just a salted fish. However, later, Mizukage Terumii sent Kito Mangetsu news about Zabuza, which made him change his mind.

After seeing Zabuza's information, especially the information that had not been recorded for several months, and thinking of Zabuza's performance on the battlefield in Konoha, Kito Mangetsu began to suspect that Zabuza was a spy for Konoha.

And this time the plan is for Kito Mangetsu to continue testing Zabuza.

During the first discussion, if Zabuza didn't give a reasonable plan, Kiden Mangetsu planned to use his own plan.

The second time was when Kito Mangetsu wanted to see Zabuza's performance on the battlefield. Once he was still very crotchless or salty, Kito Mangetsu felt that he could conclude that Zabuza was a spy of Konoha.

But now it was confirmed that Kiden Mangetsu was a spy, but Zabuza was not a spy from Konoha, but from another force.

After taking a deep look at Zabuza, Kiden Mangetsu calmly said to Konoha who was still happy, "Are you Konoha still fighting now?"

Hearing the words of Ghost Light Mangetsu, Konoha's ninjas stopped cheering instantly. Looking at the corpses of their companions around them, Konoha's camp also began to become dejected.

Even if they don't understand each other's situation, just looking at their own situation, Konoha feels that their side has lost.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the troops with only more than two thousand people left, a trace of heaviness and sadness flashed in his eyes.

You know, before the war started, there were as many as 6,000 troops fighting against Kirigakure. After this battle, more than half of them were lost.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Zabuza with cold eyes. You know, it can be said that Zabuza was responsible for more than half of Konoha's casualties.

It was fine at first, until Zabuza attacked ordinary ninjas, and Konoha's casualties increased dramatically.

Then he led the assassination team to directly penetrate Konoha's large army. This move can be said to have disrupted Konoha's battle plan and layout, causing Konoha to suffer heavy casualties.

In the end, Zabuza's attack made most of Konoha's ninjas helpless. It can be said that this time was the reason why Konoha suffered so many losses. It was because of Zabuza's attack that nearly a thousand Konoha ninjas were completely killed. He was killed by assassination troops without any resistance.

But in the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen still held back his emotions, and no longer looked at Zabuza, but looked at the ghost lamp full moon, and then said to the ghost lamp full moon, "Konoha will not fight this time, what will happen next" We’ll see!”

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Kiden Mangetsu also breathed a sigh of relief. Kiden Mangetsu was very satisfied with the current situation.

This time, the ninjas of Konoha were severely damaged, but Kirigakure did not suffer many casualties, and he also tested Zabuza's situation, which can be said to be perfect.

Of course, the last and most important reason was that Kiden Mangetsu didn't want to be beaten, and Kiden Mangetsu also felt incredible about Naruto's strength.

Ghost Light Mangetsu thought that if he and Zabuza teamed up to deal with Naruto, and if Zabuza did not reveal his previous methods, Ghost Light Mangetsu felt that neither of them could beat Naruto.

However, after hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Ghost Light Full Moon was not to be outdone.

"Hmph, I'll spare you this time, but Hiruzen Sarutobi, you are so old and you are not training in Konoha. What are you doing on the battlefield? Don't be like this time again. You almost died. I hope to see you again next time. Still alive.”

However, after hearing the words of Ghost Light Mangetsu, Naruto took the initiative to stand up. Although he didn't like the village very much, he still had feelings for Naruto Sarutobi Hiruzen. After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen was good to Naruto when he was a child, so of course Naruto was willing. Stand up for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"You are just a defeated general!"

After hearing Naruto's words, Ghost Light Full Moon said not to be outdone.

"You Konoha lost this time!"

"The general is defeated!"

"This time you Konoha suffered heavy casualties and returned to before liberation overnight!"

"The general is defeated!"

"We are going to occupy the territory of the Country of Fire this time."

"The general is defeated!"

……

The full moon of the ghost lamp exploded instantly and roared at Naruto, "I know I am not your opponent, can you please stop saying this!"

Naruto looked at the ghost lamp full moon with a calm expression, and then spoke.

"The general is defeated!"

"what!!!!!"

Ghost Light Full Moon felt like he was going to explode and wanted to rush forward and punch Naruto.

But in the end, Zabuza who was on the side saw this situation and stopped the ghost lamp Mangetsu. If Zabuza hadn't been there, maybe Konoha and Kirigakure would continue to fight.

"Okay, okay, we won this time, don't get along with them..."

Under Zabuza's careful explanation, Ghost Light Mangetsu also began to calm down.

Afterwards, Gui Deng Man Yue also gave Naruto a vicious look, but Naruto seemed not to see Gui Deng Man Yue's eyes and just looked at Dakeng indifferently.

Seeing that Naruto ignored her, Ghost Mangetsu ignored him, and then said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Okay, Sandaime-sama, please walk slowly, we will see you later!"

"Humph."

Then Sarutobi Hiruzen was wary of Kirigakure's movements, just in case. What if the other party just faked the end?

Just like that, Kiden Mangetsu looked at the leaving figure of Sarutobi Hiruzen, then faced the Kirigakure Village Kirigakure who looked over, raised his hands, and shouted to everyone.

"The war is over. This time we are victorious. We defeated Konoha!"

"Oh oh oh!"

"Great, we Kirigakure are finally standing up."

"We actually defeated the first ninja village. We are so awesome."

At this point, everyone will look at the assassination special operations force with envy. You must know that in this war, regardless of other things, the assassination force has made the greatest contribution.

Just when everyone was cheering, Kiden Mangyue stood in front of everyone and said to everyone, "This is just the beginning. Kirigakure will be even more powerful in the future, for Kirigakure Village!"

Afterwards, Ghost Lantern Full Moon began to arrange for people to occupy the territory of the Kingdom of Fire. If not occupied at this time, it would be occupied at any time.

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen's troops have been defeated miserably, and Jiraiya's troops are also entangled by Raikage. If Raikage knew the situation here, he might work harder to attack Jiraiya's defense line.

In this way, no one can stop the actions of Kirigakure Village except Konoha's people.

But later, when Kito Mangetsu finished issuing the order, he ignored Zabuza and even talked and laughed with Zabuza again.

Zabuza was not considered a spy at all.

As for why Kiden Mangetsu didn't give the order, there are two main points. The first point is that the war has just ended. If Zabuza is caught now, he might beat him up. After all, Zabuza's role in this war is obvious to all.

The second point is that in Mizukage Terumi Mei's plan, Kito Mangetsu should not act rashly even if he finds out that Zabuza is a spy, and keep Zabuza here.

Zabuza, as a Kage-level warrior, can actually perform espionage missions.

You know, in the ninja world, there is an endless supply of spies. You insert a spy in my place, and I insert a spy in yours.

However, most of the spies are Chuunin level, and a few are Jonin. Sending Kage level spies to other places is something unprecedented in the ninja world.

Terumi Mei also wanted to know who sent him, and after knowing Zabuza's identity, he could also send Zabuza on a dangerous mission.

It can also deliver wrong information. It can be said that an exposed spy is a sharp weapon.

However, Terumi Mei didn't know the existence of the empire, otherwise she wouldn't have kept Zabuza.
