Konoha In the middle of March 1950, as the weather got warmer, there were more battles at the junction of Land of Hot Water and Land of Frost.
Fourth Raikage A does not intend to "win" like Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki. Once Konoha completely controls Land of Frost, Kumogakure ninjas will lose their buffer zone in the future.
Although Konoha made commitments in the signed peace agreement, Kumogakure still believes more in "fist".
Taking advantage of the warmer weather and reorganizing the voices within the village, Fourth Raikage A took the initiative again.
The Kumogakure ninja may not be able to win the war, but Land of Frost must be back under control. For this reason, the village's top leaders are determined to persist until the Konoha front is withdrawn.
Seeing that AB Duo is making a comeback, Konoha Ninja can no longer stand the leadership of Orochimaru.
Under the appeal of many Jonin, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi had to agree to change the frontline leader. Shu Furukawa and Minato Namikaze, two speed ninjas, replaced Orochimaru.
Even before Furukawa Shuuto arrived, Konoha Ninja on the front line had already started a celebration. "Shuuto will lead us to victory!"
The voices became louder and louder. Thinking of the "charge me" tactics they experienced during this period, some Konoha Ninja shed tears of excitement when they heard that Osamu Furukawa was back.
From the perspective of Konoha Ninja on the front line, Will of Fire of Orochimaru is absolutely ruined by sacrificing everything for the sake of victory!
After successfully collecting the materials for the Ryutsugi boundary experiment, Orochi had completed his goal and had no problem with being replaced. Osamu Yoshikawa just happened to have completed the preliminary preparations for the experiment, so he could seamlessly connect after returning.
As for the so-called reputation, Orochimaru doesn't care at all. He knows what most ninjas think, but he has no interest in fighting with mediocrity.
After the body completely adapted to Shu Furukawa's improved Hashirama Cells, Orochimaru felt that his strength had been improved again, and he became more and more eager for Rinnegan.
That body is simply a perfect container. The more Orochimaru collects information, the more excited he becomes!
When the group arrived at Konoha Gate, there was a waiting team at the door. A smile appeared on Orochimaru's pale face, and he raised his right hand. Anbu, who was directly under him, immediately disappeared and went to report to work early.
Jiraiya, who was leaning next to the gate, was not wearing Jonin combat uniform. He was in casual clothes. Forehead Protector had the word "oil" on his head again. When he saw his old friend, he immediately waved his hand. "Orochimaru, you are recovering well. It seems that the injury is not as serious as Tsunade said."
"You're still the same guy who directs battles. Now is the age of young people, so you should be more restrained."
Orochimaru saw Jiraiya appear with a thoughtful look on his face, but he didn't care about his old friend's words and walked over and responded calmly, "It's fine if I win. As for the process, that's not something I should consider."
"Jiraiya, say it straight, procrastination is not your style!"
Jiraiya sighed helplessly, noticed that the crowd behind him burst into cheers, and finally left early after agreeing on the agreed place. He did not want to ruin the atmosphere of the scene.
Konoha Ninja, who was replaced, had a bright smile on his face, and all the pain was worth it.
During the war, casualties usually accompany victory. There were still people who opposed it before, but after getting tangible benefits from Land of Wind, Konoha Ninja has become accustomed to this kind of life.
After arriving at Chinese Izakaya as agreed, Orochimaru came to the corner seat and sat down, while Jiraiya poured wine silently.
The two ate their side dishes in silence, and finally Jiraiya asked the question he had investigated, "Orochimaru, are the actions of you and Danzo at Land of Rain related to Nagato?"
"That child owns Rinnegan. From the information I collected, this is the only one that can attract your attention."
"Stop it, Orochimaru, Nagato may be the Child of Prophecy mentioned by Great Toad Sage, and those Rinnegan should be used to change the world!"
"I haven't found out where Nagato has gone, but you shouldn't bother with those eyes again."
Orochimaru was not surprised that Jiraiya was able to collect this information. He just heard "Child of Prophecy" again and couldn't help but mocked twice. "If he can be caught by me, it proves that he is not the so-called Child of Prophecy."
"When I see you dressed like this, I know that you are going to fulfill the so-called "mission" again. What is the meaning of such a life?"
Every time the two of them could not talk for a few words, they would have differences due to different life choices. Jiraiya did not want to refute, but just stared at Orochimaru and reminded, "Don't cause trouble for Tsunade and the village. Konoha has just ushered in new development opportunities. Now we just need to move forward step by step."
"The ninja that can be predicted by Great Toad Sage is not as simple as you think. I will not let you succeed."
"You actually went against me because of a Amegakure ninja?"
Orochimaru asked back and immediately laughed nervously.
Seeing Jiraiya's stubborn look, he couldn't help but think of the process of getting along with him for so many years. Finally, he lowered his head and said, "All the forces that threaten Konoha should be in our hands."
"If you can't control it, destroy it."
"Jiraiya, you will make the right choice."
The two people who had known each other for many years finally stopped discussing this topic. Jiraiya was in a low mood. Regardless of whether his friends had selfish intentions, some of their views were extremely correct.
When Orochimaru left alone, Jiraiya simply drank himself until his face turned red. He did not believe that Nagato, who owned Rinnegan, would die so easily. "Nagato, I will find you."
Land of Frost border, with the arrival of Shu Furukawa and Minato Namikaze, Konoha Ninja's morale is greatly boosted!
It's true that we can't face Fourth Raikage A directly, but if we throw Shuriken and release some medium and long-range ninjutsu as interference, most Jonin can do the job.
The two people who came to support had a clear division of labor. Minato Namikaze destroyed supplies and quickly killed ordinary ninjas like Land of Grass, while Shu Furukawa intercepted AB Duo and entangled the opponent.
Although Shu Furukawa wanted to carry out the previous mission, Minato blocked it on the excuse that he was too young and should not kill too much.
In the evening, in a stronghold near the Land of Lightning border, the neighing sound of Lightning Release Ninjutsu continued for a long time.
"Boom!"
Konoha Ninja in the distance turned pale when he heard the loud noise in front of him. If Orochimaru was still here, they would probably be lying on the ground.
"Cover Mr. Xiu!"
"Don't let that Kumogakure guy get away!"
The battle rhythm that Konoha Ninja is most familiar with has arrived again. Everyone moved away from the central battle area and began to surround the Kumogakure ninja who broke through.
Fourth Raikage A became even more angry when he heard these voices. Lightning Release Chakra Mode exploded completely, his hair stood up, and he looked at Shu Furukawa in the distance and shouted angrily, "Don't underestimate the Kumogakure ninja! Go to hell!"
A blue electric light appeared all over Ai's body, and the moment the voice disappeared, the whole person appeared in front of Furukawa Chuanshen: "Lariat!"
Shu Furukawa Faced with the azure hand knife that was sweeping towards his head, as if he had predicted the action in advance, his body leaned back, the hair on his forehead was cut off by the electric light, and then he quickly twisted his body.
Fourth Raikage A also reacted very quickly, raising his left arm to protect his head. Furukawa Chuanxiu hit the opponent with his left leg and made a muffled sound.
"Ahem!"
Tilting his head and coughing lightly, Fourth Raikage watched Shu Furukawa take advantage of his strength to fly up into the air and kick him continuously. He could only block continuously for a while.
The Kumogakure ninja in the rear watched Furukawa Chuanxiu turn into an afterimage, leaving only a "bang bang" sound in the air. He couldn't help shouting in fear, "Lord Raikage!"
Fourth Raikage A only felt that every attack by Shu Furukawa was accompanied by weird force, trying to distance himself, but the enemy did not give him a chance.
Occasionally, Ai fought back and chased. After being hit hard by Osamu Furukawa, Ai's body became stiff and he could only fight back passively.
The two of them kept colliding and chasing each other in this dense forest. Fourth Raikage A's patience was exhausted, and during a collision, he forcibly held the right fist thrown by Shu Furukawa.
"Stop!"
"Boom!"
After a loud noise, Fourth Raikage A's left arm continued to tremble, and blood appeared from the tiger's mouth of his left hand. He swung his right fist hard and hit Furukawa Shuu. After being held in his fist, he began to shout loudly, "Go to hell!"
In the stalemate, Ai pushed Lightning Release Chakra Mode to the extreme, violent electric current emerged around his body, tilted his head back, and tried to beat Shu Furukawa with his head.
"Is this all your power is?"
Ai Yihu hit Shu Furukawa with his head and saw the confused look on his enemy's face. However, before he had time to think carefully, his vision was covered by black electric light.
A life-like black electric current suddenly appeared around Furukawa Shuu's body. After an explosion, the electric current completely exploded, the ground cracked instantly, and the surrounding trees flew out in all directions under the shock wave.
"Ah!"
Fourth Raikage A suddenly screamed, and the black electric light seemed to be eroding his blue Chakra Armor, and blue and black electric lights began to interweave continuously on his whole body.
Facing the severe pain in his body, Ai leaned back, but did not let go. Instead, he continued to activate his body and forcibly squeezed the cells. For a while, his skin cracked and blood vessels burst. "Don't underestimate the name Raikage!"
"Thrill me."
Ai, who was trying to lift Shu Furukawa, suddenly found himself floating in the air, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, and then his whole body was thrown from the top of his head to the ground by Osamu Furukawa.
"Boom!"
The ground dented and gravel splashed. Just as Shu Furukawa's right hand shone with black lightning and stabbed Ai's chest on the ground, the huge "octopus feet" suddenly wrapped around Fourth Raikage.
The supporting Killer B ignored the complaints of Eight-Tails inside his body and hurriedly threw his big brother away. When he found "Octopus Legs" being hugged by Furukawa Shuu, he immediately "cut off his tail to survive".
"It almost spread here, leave quickly, Bi!"
Eight-Tails sensed the consciousness contained in the black arc and was so frightened that he roared loudly. He did not dare to release too much Chakra and could only tell his partner to run away.
Killer B used his "tail" to wrap around Ai, and when he saw the hideous wound on his elder brother's chest still emitting black arcs of electricity, he accelerated and asked loudly in his body, "What on earth is this? With our help, how can the elder brother's armor still be unable to withstand it?"
"It's a kind of Chakra with life consciousness. Walk quickly and rush towards the direction where Konoha Ninja is gathering!"
Eight-Tails knew that Osamu Furukawa would definitely slow down in order to protect Konoha Ninja, and immediately cooperated with Killer B to explode with all his strength.
Killer B possesses Tailed Beast Cloak, which can ignore conventional attacks. He carries Ai and rushes into the encirclement of Konoha Ninja. Taking advantage of the enemy's avoidance, Killer B begins to accelerate towards Land of Lightning.
The abandoned Kumogakure ninjas saw Shu Furukawa stop and look at them. For a moment, they all knelt on the ground with despair on their faces.
"Master Xiu wins!"
"Master Xiu has avenged everyone!"
"Follow Master Xiu to the death, don't let the Kumogakure ninjas outside escape!"
With a look of ecstasy on his face, Konoha Ninja started shouting loudly again. Furukawa Shuu finally gave up on releasing the long-distance ninjutsu. Everyone saw it and flattered him for a while.
"If they are unwilling to disclose information, just kill them. Anyway, we have enough time to destroy their stronghold."
The injury on Furukawa Osamu's hand healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. His simple instructions made Konoha Ninja feel more involved, and everyone rushed to respond.
As night fell, Konoha Ninja's camp was filled with a joyful atmosphere. Although there were still casualties, it was much better than before.
The Ninja Clans Jonin who submitted the rotation application were still under a lot of pressure before. After two days of fighting, all Konoha Ninja in the camp praised their decision.
Minato Namikaze, who returned to the camp, couldn't laugh or cry. There were too many "Sir Xiu" voices.
"This week's tasks have been completed, and it's time to embarrass the ninja of Land of Frost."
Minato came to the campfire and told his results with a smile. In two days, all the strongholds he had explored were destroyed, and all Kumogakure ninjas were wiped out.
"Minato is really awesome. Now everyone can rest in peace for a while."
"The casualty rate was indeed a bit higher before. Just treat those stories as a way to relax."
Shu Furukawa responded with a smile. Seeing Minato's hesitant expression, he took the initiative to ask, "Do you want to know about this Lightning Release Ninjutsu? You must have guessed it, it is an application method of Senjutsu."
Minato looked at the black lightning flashing on Furukawa Shuu's fingertips and scratched his head in embarrassment, then whispered, "I am also practicing Senjutsu. Maybe I don't have much talent, and I haven't achieved much results yet."
"Although I can barely refine Senjutsu Chakra, the duration is too short. Master Fukasaku of Mount Myoboku does have some solutions, but they are not suitable for my fighting style."
As he spoke, Minato's face turned pale, as if he thought of "insect cuisine", and waved his hand to refuse Shu Furukawa's offer of dried meat. "Mount Myoboku's cuisine is also impressive..."
"Senjutsu You can still practice more. The stronger your body is, the more it can amplify this power."
As soon as Shu Furukawa finished speaking, the palm-sized living metaphor squirmed to his shoulder and took over the conversation in a soft voice. "Senjutsu has no upper limit, but the body of an ordinary human has an upper limit."
Minato looked at Minato, who was shaking his tentacles, and felt that there was pride in the other person's tone. Just as he was about to continue asking, Furukawa Shuu suddenly whispered, "It can actually offset my Senjutsu Chakra, Fourth Raikage not only has a loud voice, but also has an outstanding will."
Minato immediately spoke out to comfort him. He didn't see the curve of the corner of Shu Furukawa's mouth. Only resistance leads to killing. "Death Supplement" can't stop yet.
Land of Lightning In the camp on the border, Fourth Raikage A's black skin seemed to be a bit whiter. Seeing that the black arc on his chest finally disappeared, he lay back on the ground and gasped. "Did Mizukage die from this ninjutsu?"
"The evil Konoha kid, ahem, what ninjutsu did he develop?"
"Brother, Xiaoba told me that if you fail to resist, your body will collapse from the inside out!"
When Killer B saw his elder brother come back to life, he immediately responded with a strange sound. Eight-Tails in his body reminded him again, and he added, "Xiao Ba said that this Chakra seems to contain Natural Energy. Brother, let's cease the war!"
Ai, who was still struggling to breathe, immediately stood up in anger when he heard "truce". He looked at the several Kumogakure ninjas in the camp and gave instructions angrily. "Do you want to see Konoha Ninja enter Land of Lightning? Cough..."
"Keep attacking, I will never allow this to happen."
