The Shinobi World Will Be Thrown into Complete Chaos
"Raiga Kurosuki, Kakuzu..."
"They actually launched a direct attack on Takigakure!"
In the distance, Pakura lay prone on the mountainside, secretly astonished.
She discovered Kakuzu's trail at the underground exchange and secretly followed him all the way here. After waiting for a while, the two of them suddenly stormed into Takigakure.
That's incredibly bold.
Wrong!
Pakura's pupils suddenly contracted as he looked towards the battle in the distance—
She heard a terrifying explosion.
This was not a disturbance that could be caused by ordinary Ninjutsu; she had only heard a similar sound once in her life, during a battle with Iwagakure.
That is...
Tailed Beast Bomb!
Their target is the Tailed Beast?
Pakura's heart skipped a beat.
Kakuzu and Raiga Kurosuki are incredibly audacious. With only two people, they dared to return and directly attack a ninja village, intending to take away the Jinchuriki, a Tailed Beast.
Etc!
These two could never be causing trouble for the Tailed Beast for money.
Based on previous investigations, the two are suspected of being connected to that group...
"When Kyohiko and Rasa were chasing Sasori of the Red Sands, Kakuzu was suspected of going to provide support in that direction."
"If they are indeed connected to Ban's forces, then their goal isn't simply money, but rather—"
"Tailed Beast!"
Pakura woke up instantly.
If we follow this line of reasoning, the weakest of the ninja villages possessing Tailed Beast has already been attacked.
Who is the second weakest?
Sunagakure!
She quietly retreated down the cliff and ran towards Sunagakure, but after running for a while, Pakura suddenly realized something—
If people like Kakuzu and Raiga Kurosuki were to attack Sunagakure, even if the village were prepared in advance, it would be futile.
The enemy is too strong!
With the current strength of Sunagakure, they simply cannot withstand the opponent's attack, and their Jinchuriki should currently be Bunpuku.
The fact that the old monk has managed to survive and not die of old age is already a testament to his unwavering will; it would be completely unrealistic to expect him to fight against enemies.
Going to Sunagakure) would definitely be pointless!
She immediately changed direction and ran towards Kikyo City.
Notify Konoha!
Night Kikyo City, and a Kunai flew swiftly towards them.
Thud!
A crisp sound.
The patrolling ninjas immediately gave chase, but the other party vanished in an instant.
The next second, they followed the sound they had just heard.
Kunai, so it was bound in bamboo tubes.
There were familiar markings on the papers inside.
"Quickly send this to Lord Hayama!"
This must be intelligence sent by that person.
Before long, Hayama Shirakumo received the intelligence, opened it, and sure enough, it was true.
Familiar handwriting.
However, the words above made him suddenly change color.
Hayama Shirakumo immediately rolled up and retracted into the bamboo tube.
"Send it to the Anbu immediately!"
Kakashi was sweating profusely in the Anbu of Konoha.
Having experienced the previous "significant increase in bounty," he thought nothing could disturb his peace of mind, but the unexpected happened even faster than he had imagined.
Something seems to have happened in Takigakure!
This information was sent from the Anbu intelligence network, but so far, the specifics of what happened have not been determined.
At that very moment.
"My lord, intelligence from Kikyo City."
"Give me!"
Kakashi Body Flicker Technique beside him.
Take it and open it.
His expression changed drastically in an instant.
The above content is...
"Takigakure has been attacked. Raiga Kurosuki and Kakuzu the targets, suspected to be the Seven-Tails. The One-Tail is in danger."
Seven-Tails?
Kakuzu, Raiga Kurosuki!
Confirmed by intelligence from his own channels, Kakashi immediately knew that this matter was no small thing.
I'm going out for a bit!
The next second, Kakashi headed towards the Flying Raijin Formation team's location.
One minute later, he appeared outside the Hokage Office in Konoha.
Inside the room, he could faintly hear the voices of Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi. Without waiting, he immediately knocked on the door and then pushed it open.
Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi turned to look.
On their table were several books and a scroll.
"Kakashi, you've come at the perfect time..."
"My lords, something has happened!"
Kakashi didn't have time to explain and immediately handed over both intelligence reports to them.
A document from the Anbu's own intelligence network.
The other one came from a special channel in Kikyo City.
The two glanced at each other quickly and then stood up abruptly.
They were discussing summoning beasts when, before they could even create an artificial family of summoning beasts, a major incident occurred outside.
Takigakure was attacked.
For a ninja village, how many years has it been since such a terrible incident occurred?
"I previously discussed with Kyohiko that if Madara wanted to strengthen them and weaken us, the most likely approach would be to acquire as many Tailed Beast as possible."
"After all, Madara's power operates in the shadows, and on the surface, it has nothing to do with the Three Great Shinobi Villages, so no one can hold them accountable."
Tsunade rubbed her temples.
Unexpectedly, what was rehearsed before actually happened so quickly.
She quickly considered a solution.
Kyohiko is not in the village.
If we send Minato Namikaze to provide support...
No!
Tsunade immediately rejected it.
Minato Namikaze to aid Sunagakure might resolve the crisis there, but it could also leave Konoha vulnerable to threats from Sunagakure's subordinates.
After all, Obito's current abilities have reached the level of "space-time manipulation".
Tsunade was lost in thought.
She took a deep breath and said, "Kakashi, go and have Minato come over here to discuss this."
"Yes!"
Kakashi Body Flicker Technique vanished.
This is a huge matter; he, as the "squad leader" and "acting squad leader," is completely overwhelmed!
A few minutes later, Minato Namikaze arrived directly Flying Thunder God.
After hearing the description, he fell silent for a moment.
Kakuzu, Raiga Kurosuki.
None of them are easy to deal with, not to mention Ōnoki and the Third Raikage eyeing us from the north...
The Minato opened with a long sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, Kyohiko captured Killer B, Eight-Tails is now in our hands, which can restrain Kumogakure. Otherwise, the pressure would be even greater."
He said.
"Lord Hokage, Third Hokage, what do you think? How about we contact Kyohiko first and ask him to return quickly? Then we can hold a meeting, gather the important ninjas in the village to discuss sending some teams to Kikyo City first."
Tsunade nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Minato's suggestion is good!
but.
She pondered for a moment, "Let's notify Sunagakure first and have them prepare. Otherwise, if we enter the Land of Wind, it wouldn't be good if we became the invaders."
"After that, have Jiraiya investigate Takigakure..."
Tsunade issued orders one by one.
Although she had some contingency plans with Orochimaru beforehand, the enemy launched their attack much earlier than she had anticipated, Chomei Seven-Tails didn't have time to react.
So.
Shukaku of Sunagakure must be protected!
In theory, this thing is Konoha's "collateral," and if they can protect Shukaku during this crisis, they can directly force Sunagakure to hand over the Tailed Beast.
Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise.
Tsunade realized that, if handled properly, this crisis could actually be an opportunity.
Konoha quickly sprang into action.
To the north, in the Land of Snow.
With a loud cry, a baby was born into the world.
It's a girl.
Kazahana Sōsetsu smiled broadly, their intimacy almost palpable.
"Congratulations, Your Feudal Lord!"
"Haha, thank you all from Konoha. I owe you all this, otherwise my wife and children might not have gotten away so well."
Kazahana Sōsetsu laughed.
Nara Shikaku responded with a smile.
Although he wasn't a father yet, he could fully understand the joy that Kazahana Sōsetsu Kazahana Sōsetsu feeling at that moment, so he was happy to let her enjoy the happiness as much as possible.
after all.
Becoming a father for the first time—this feeling and this opportunity will never come again.
As Kazahana Sōsetsu sighed, Kyohiko stood at the doorway, the wind blowing, with Gyuki's clone resting on his shoulder.
To be precise, it is now the main body of the Gyuki.
after all.
Killer B Chakra, on the other hand, only has one-fifth of his chakra left. Even if he can retain his consciousness, he is absolutely no match for the Gyuki in front of him.
"So, you Konoha came to the Land of Snow just to do good deeds?"
The Gyuki was shocked.
It considered many possibilities, such as--
Konoha needs to join forces with the Land of Snow to obtain their resources, or perhaps plant a ninja force there.
result.
This group of people killed Kazahana Dōtō, but also saved Kazahana Sōsetsu's wife, ensuring her safe delivery...
This was very confusing to the Gyuki.
Kyohiko smiled but did not answer. Just then, he suddenly sensed a Chakra fluctuation.
The next second, a scroll wrapped in a bamboo tube appeared in his hand.
Coming from Konoha, so complete...
Even the Flying Thunder God Team, which he trained with Minato, cannot do it yet. Currently, only Minato Namikaze himself can do it!
His expression was grave.
Open the bamboo tube and take out the scroll.
The Gyuki curiously approached, then seemed somewhat taken aback.
"Takigakure was attacked? I remember the Seven-Tails was imprisoned there, right?"
"That's right."
Kyohiko nodded and quickly put away the scroll.
I've seen the content.
He could roughly guess what would happen next, so there was no need to look any further.
Fold up the scroll.
Kyohiko looked at the others. Shikaku was still talking with Kazahana Sōsetsu, while Kurenai Yuhi was exchanging medical knowledge with the doctor in the backyard. As for Might Guy—
He ran wildly through the snow, saying he wanted to feel the power of life and youth.
Let's call this guy back first!
Kyohiko Body Flicker Technique past and instantly appeared beside Kai.
"Kai, don't run away."
"What's wrong? Are there enemies again?"
Might Guy was full of fighting spirit.
Kyohiko shook his head.
"No, but before that, we have work to do."
What kind of work?
"Something's happened in the village, so I need to leave the Land of Snow early. You'll have to handle things here afterwards."
Kyohiko said.
Returning to Konoha from the Land of Snow using the Flying Thunder God Technique would theoretically consume a large amount of Chakra, potentially requiring the activation of the remaining chakra pools, but--
Isn't this Gyuki?
Furthermore, he doesn't need to return to Konoha.
Using Yahiko or Pakura's location as coordinates can save some Chakra and allow them to reach the Sunagakure front line directly.
Might Guy instantly snapped out of his handstand, regained his balance, and his expression turned serious.
"What happened?"
Although he wasn't very bright, he wasn't completely ignorant.
Kyohiko has always been incredibly confident.
Such a situation is extremely rare.
If something happens to Konoha, his father...
Might Guy couldn't help but feel worried.
He was naturally aware of the power of the Eight Inner Gates; opening Eight Gates would grant him terrifying combat power for a short period, but correspondingly—
They will die!
What kind of crisis is Konoha facing?
He's still thinking about it.
Kyohiko couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not as serious as you think. If it were that kind of situation, wouldn't I have just used Flying Thunder God to go back?"
"Oh? That's true, then..."
"Take this scroll to Senior Shikaku later. You don't need to rush back. Those wandering ninjas in the Land of Snow are very important. Try your best to bring them back or recruit them."
Kyohiko gave his instructions.
Might Guy nodded repeatedly, but seeing Kyohiko speaking while a piece of wood grew from his hand and he used Chakra to engrave characters on it, he knew that the other party did not believe in his wisdom.
but.
That works too!
What if he really forgets?
He nodded as he silently recited Kyohiko's instructions.
A few seconds later, Kyohiko wrote down the general situation on the paper and then handed it to Might Guy.
"I'll be leaving now. Your mission here is equally important, so there's no need to rush. Focus on building a good relationship with the Feudal Lord first."
"Oh, okay..."
Might Guy looked bewildered as he took the wooden pieces and scroll, then watched Kyohiko leave.
I waited for several minutes.
Inside, Kazahana Sōsetsu and Nara Shikaku finally finished their conversation.
Shikaku secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If it weren't for the increased interactions he had with nobles from the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning during this period, which gave him considerable experience, he probably wouldn't have been able to satisfy Kazahana Sōsetsu so easily.
but.
The result was good.
The Land of Land of Snow is vast, and if Kyohiko's vision can truly be realized, its potential is immense.
If we could cultivate a ninja force...
Therefore, if the Land of Snow were to become an ally of Konoha, it would be of immense strategic significance to Konoha.
certainly.
The premise is that their strength is strong enough to threaten Iwagakure.
As for the methods to improve one's strength...
Chakra and Ninjutsu training are one part; another part is the special Chakra Armor, like the Kazahana Dōtō.
Something hastily made may not be of high quality, but it's better than nothing.
Nara Shikaku could imagine that Kyohiko had plans for the future, so he valued Kazahana Sōsetsu's attitude very much.
After granting the Feudal Lord a massive amount of emotional value, he stepped out of the house and noticed Might Guy waiting in the snow, and...
Kyohiko Yoshimine vanished without a trace.
What happened?
"Well, I might speak a bit slowly. Read it first, and then ask me again; that will be faster."
Might Guy is self-aware.
A clever Jonin like Nara Shikaku could probably glean most of the information with a single glance, while a self-description might contain errors.
Nara Shikaku took it and quickly read through the instructions on the wooden tablet. Then he took out the scroll, opened it, and his expression suddenly changed.
Someone actually attacked the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts!
Once someone starts plotting against the Tailed Beast, it means the Shinobi World will descend into complete chaos.
"Konoha..."
He was silent for a few seconds, then looked at Kai, "Kyohiko wants us to continue our mission here?"
"Yes, he said there's a very important group of wandering ninjas in the south who we need to take over, preferably recruit them, and then..."
Might Guy relayed Kyohiko's instructions.
Shikaku nodded repeatedly.
He had already considered what Kyohiko was saying, and naturally understood the importance of these wandering ninjas.
Furthermore, Kyohiko will go to provide support, so the situation in Sunagakure won't be too bad.
In terms of Chakra, Kyohiko himself has a massive Chakra reserve, and with the Eight-Tails by his side, he can borrow the power of the Tailed Beast when necessary.
Safety!
After considering for a long time, Shikaku nodded. "I understand. From now on, you and Kurenai will follow my instructions."
"Yes!"
Might Guy stood at attention.
command...
There's not much else to do; it's mostly about maintaining stability, helping Kazahana Sōsetsu control the chaos in the country, and bringing peace here.
It's best to remain in the Land of Snow and refrain from rash actions.
If we set off back now, whether we encounter Iwagakure or Kumogakure, without Kyohiko by our side, they are likely to be attacked.
