"Eh? What? Is there a terrifying existence beyond Tailed Beast? Father, are you sure?"
Mammoth looked at his father with a look of shock and shouted.
Although it is still recognized that First Hokage Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara above Shinobi World are the strongest people in history except the legendary Sage of Six Paths above Shinobi World, after all, it has been forty or fifty years since the era of these two people. The generation that has grown up now has never seen how powerful the so-called peak power is.
Mammoth is a typical representative. He knows that First Hokage is recognized as the number one Shinobi World. However, due to the age gap, Mammoth is not as powerful as Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara. A clear concept, in his opinion, the strongest one is definitely Nine Tailed Beasts. Except for Nine-Tails, which has almost never appeared on Shinobi World, the other eight Tailed Beast have more or less shown their powerful side on the battlefield.
When he suddenly heard that there was a terrifying existence comparable to Tailed Beast sealed in the so-called Box of Paradise, it was naturally difficult for Mammoth to contain the surprise and restlessness deep in his heart. If this was true, his father's confidence was justified. They Kusagakure really had the capital to fight against Iwagakure!
After all, their ultimate goal is not to completely defeat Iwagakure. Even Boro, who has completely inflated his self-confidence, does not think he can do this. It is very simple. If the monsters in Box of Paradise were really that strong, they Kusagakure would have 100% escaped from the current predicament. How could they fall into this situation.
In the final analysis, their goal is to make Iwagakure have scruples, and to make that Third Tsuchikage feel that spending too much power to forcibly annex their Kusagakure is a choice that does more harm than good, that's all.
Therefore, at this moment Mammoth was also very angry. He really didn't believe it. For one of them, Kusagakure, that one Third Tsuchikage would directly go to war and send the main force of the Ninja Village. If the suppression fails, as long as there are not four to five thousand Iwagakure Ninja troops, and Tailed Beast Jinchuriki from Iwagakure come with them, Mammoth is really confident to stop it!
As for doubting whether his father is lying, Mammoth thinks it is completely impossible. This is related to the wealth and life of the father and son. If he is not careful, he will be killed directly. Mammoth is 100% confident that his father must have made proper arrangements.
"However, once Box of Paradise is exposed, even if we survive this crisis, will Five Great Shinobi Villages have to keep a close eye on us from now on? This is the Noble Phantasm of the Sage of Six Paths era!"
The crisis hasn't passed yet, Mammoth has begun to think about the following problems. It has to be said that people's self-confidence is really easy to contaminate. Let's not mention other Kusa Ninja for the moment. Anyway, Mammoth is completely immersed in the ideal results compiled by his father himself. It seems that they are sure that their counterattack plan this time will successfully force Iwagakure back!
"Well, this is indeed a problem, so I won't really use this Box of Paradise unless it is absolutely necessary. This is the key to whether our Kusagakure can dominate Shinobi World in the future!"
"Ah? Didn't we use it from the beginning? Then we want it?"
Mammoth was startled and blinked, his eyes filled with confusion. Could it be that his Ninja Village had other secrets that he didn't know about besides Box of Paradise in front of him?
Mammoth Although he was excited, he also felt a little dissatisfied. His father also hid it too much from him, right? There are so many important secrets, but you don't know any of them? This is really too much!
"Yes, I won't use it at the beginning, because I have other powerful helpers that I have summoned. If everything goes smoothly, there may be no need to use the final trump card of Box of Paradise. You must know that although Shinobi World seems to be peaceful now, if we can really break through the first line of Iwagakure Limit and counterattack the forces deployed by Iwagakure near our Ninja Village will definitely attract the attention of other countries. Not to mention, Kumogakure and Sunagakure will definitely take certain actions. By then, the situation will definitely be favorable to us Kusagakure!"
Boro waved his right hand that was clenched into a fist as if he was determined, and said loudly.
"Other helpers?"
Mammoth's eyes widened, and there was a deep curiosity and confusion in the depths of his pupils. When other Three Great Shinobi Villages could hardly be contacted, where did his father find the helper?
"Is it Amegakure or Takigakure?"
Mammoth said tentatively.
"No."
After Boro shook his head in denial.
"Oh, I understand, it's Kirigakure, right, Father! Is it Kirigakure who will send elite troops to assist us?"
Mammoth, who thought he had thought of the correct answer, suddenly brightened up and said loudly with a very sure tone.
"No, the helpers I summoned are not from any Ninja Village, but only from an organization called Akatsuki, and there are only two helpers!"
Boro shook his head again, and then said softly with a touch of mystery.
"What? An organization? Two people? Father? What are you doing?"
At this moment, Mammoth almost thought that his father was joking with him. What kind of organization would it take to dare to confront Five Great Shinobi Villages head-on? And it was only two people. What use could this be?
Is it possible that these two people are strong men comparable to Five Kage?
If you don't restrain yourself in the end.
Mammoth almost blurted out words like "Father, have you been deceived?"
"Haha, don't worry, Mammoth, the terror of this organization and the strength of the two members sent are definitely far beyond your imagination!"
This can clearly predict the deep distrust in his son's pupils.
Boro also smiled lightly and continued.
He didn't think his son's attitude was exaggerated at all. To put it bluntly, when a member of Akatsuki came to him personally and offered to hire them, Boro immediately treated him as a lunatic.
But after witnessing the terrifying strength of that member, Boro realized that he was by no means an arrogant person, but indeed had the strength to easily defeat one against a hundred, especially the man with green eyes wearing a half-mask. Boro could clearly sense an extremely cold and terrifying aura from his body!
From the perspective of Boro, this is definitely an existence comparable to Five Kage. As for the other person, he seems a bit mediocre, and seems to be lying on the ground, walking on all fours in a strange posture, but with Boro's life experience, he can still smell the dangerous atmosphere coming from him!
Therefore, even if the amount of money that needs to be spent makes Boro feel very painful, as long as he can successfully complete his plan, the expenditure is worth it!
'Come on, Iwagakure, I must make you pay the price, let you understand that we Kusagakure are definitely not something you can easily handle! '
No longer paying attention to Mammoth, who was still dubious at the side.
Boro turned around and looked at Box of Paradise who was not far away with a hint of fanaticism. A trace of madness appeared in the depths of his pupils, and he whispered deep in his heart.
He believed that since he was so fully prepared.
Iwagakure will definitely make a big mistake on their Kusagakure, and it's time for all Shinobi World to hear the voice that belongs to their Kusagakure!
Kusagakure is ready for everything!
Lurking in various areas, they are waiting for the appointed time to arrive. On the other side, Akatsuchi and Arai, who have received the news in advance, also feel that their Ninja Village has a chance to win. Not to mention that Ōnoki also notified them to send additional Shōji led a group of personnel to support them. Even with the thousands of Iwagakure Ninja currently stationed in Land of Grass, Akatsuchi and Arai have enough confidence to suppress everything!
Five Great Shinobi Villages's status is definitely not blown out, but built by relying on its own hard power. The weakest Sunagakure today was also the most powerful existence in the southern region of the entire continent. Ninjas born in Five Great Shinobi Villages have enough capital to feel proud and will look down on other ninjas born in Ninja Village!
Although Arai and Akatsuchi will not make any careless or lax actions because of this, it is also because of this that Akatsuchi and Arai Kenjirō plan to deal with all the hidden dangers in Kusagakure at once. They did not take action before because they were concerned about the food appearance issue. Now that they have taken the initiative to give them a chance, there is no reason to let it go!
Deliberately waiting for a wave, one is to seize the exact right and wrong, and the other is because I really don't understand the specific action plan of others. The spies they bribed are middle-level personnel. It is not easy to find out the exact time of the plan!
Naturally, other further information should be ignored. In order to eliminate all unstable factors of Kusagakure headed by Boro as much as possible, Akatsuchi and Arai are also "very cooperative" and plan to wait for the Kusa Ninja side to take the initiative to launch a counterattack!
Of course, some necessary pre-arrangements must be prepared in advance!
But no matter what, it was precisely because the two of them were "careless" that they gave Kusagakure more time to prepare!
All conditions being sufficient.
"Boom!"
On the night of October 20th.
Accompanied by a violent roar in the west area of Kusagakure.
"Kill! For Kusagakure!"
"Come on! For our freedom!"
Just when the monstrous Kakkō seemed to cover and spread to the entire Kusagakure village.
The Kusa Ninjas who had been ambushing in the surrounding area in advance also rushed out and attacked towards the target location set in the plan!
In Boro's plan this time, the basic goal to be achieved is to completely eliminate more than a hundred Iwagakure Ninja who entered Kusagakure, and then remove all the Iwagakure Ninja who were deployed inside Kusagakure 0 The Iwagakure Ninja stronghold near, and finally defeated the main force of Iwagakure stationed in Land of Grass that came from Kannabi Bridge!
Then, taking advantage of the power of victory, he took the initiative to negotiate with Iwagakure. Boro believed that in the face of Chi Guoguo's casualties and threats, as long as he lowered his attitude, there was a high probability that he could force Third Tsuchikage to hold his nose and negotiate peacefully with him!
The most critical point in this continuous escape plan is to defeat the main force of Iwagakure that will be reinforced later. If this cannot be done, there is no possibility of forcing Iwagakure to negotiate!
On this point, Boro himself sees it very clearly.
Therefore, he only allocated part of the force in the village from the beginning. The number of Iwagakure Ninja was not large anyway. Those Kusa Ninja numbers were completely sufficient in Boro's opinion. Now, all the main forces must be dispatched to the frontal battlefield to intercept Iwagakure's upcoming main reinforcements. Kannabi Bridge is only less than a hundred miles away from them Kusagakure!
Ninjas can reach Kusagakure in a short time under their extreme speed, but just like Akatsuchi and Arai, they underestimated Boro Just like the determination that Boro can stir up, Boro also did not expect that there would be a spy within his family. You must know that he was already trying to ensure that the news would not leak out!
He just wanted to let his subordinates who had followed him for at least five or six years and gone through many tests know his plan, but just like that, an internal scoundrel appeared, Boro, who misjudged Iwagakure's movements at the first time.
It can be said that it was almost the moment Kusa Ninja launched the attack.
"Keng!"
"Earth Release—The Art of Explosion!"
"Boom!"
"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!"
"Ding ding ding ding!"
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
"Water Release—Great Waterfall Technique!"
"Lightning Release—Earth Run Technique!"
"Wind Release!"
The elite Iwagakure Ninjas who had lurked around Kusagakure in advance immediately launched a counterattack in conjunction with the Iwagakure Ninjas who were staying inside Kusagakure!
Although this is the home court of Kusa Ninja.
But after all, Iwagakure has infiltrated a lot. Some of the people closest to Boro have betrayed and taken refuge in Iwagakure, let alone other ordinary Kusa Ninja. It can be said that they are truly 100% obedient to. Boro ordered less than a quarter of Kusa Ninja. Many Kusa Ninja received the order temporarily, and then under the coercive leadership of Chunin and Jōnin, they launched an attack in a daze!
Even so!
Still, about a third of Kusa Ninja, led by another group of Kusagakure real-power figures, directly chose neutrality and went straight into the movie-watching mode. These people have no so-called sense of shame.
Some are just mercenary and dirty at heart!
They didn't obey the orders of the leader Boro because they really didn't think Boro could succeed. The reason why they didn't stand decisively on Iwagakure's side was because they felt that the situation was still a little delicate and didn't want to give up their chips easily. Anyway, for these real wallflowers, they would only go straight to the situation when the situation was relatively clear!
Even if this is not the best benefit, it is still the safest choice. Boro really succeeded. They are still the real power faction. These people really don't believe that Boro has the guts to continue to touch them. Iwagakure successfully extinguished. Boro's 'act of rebellion', they will also beat up the lost dog at the last moment. To put it bluntly, they use the Kusa Ninja red fruits they can control as bargaining chips to ensure their own safety and interests!
These people will exist no matter what world they are in, and they are also the most shameful group of people. What Boro needs to be most afraid of and guarded from at the beginning is these grassroots in the house. In fact, it also proves that without these six to seven hundred Kusa Ninja, it will still have a great impact on the situation!
Especially because of the preparations made by Akatsuchi and Arai in advance, the batch of Iwagakure Ninja that Boro expected to be the easiest to execute, progressed far less smoothly than imagined.
This also put Boro into an embarrassing situation from the beginning, because he planned to lead nearly a thousand Kusa Ninja directly to block the incoming reinforcements led by Akatsuchi and Arai. However, at this moment, he had to make temporary adjustments., and then allocate some personnel to his son, Mammoth, to support the Kusa Ninjas fighting in the village, and to deal with these Iwagakure Ninja troops in the village as soon as possible. The time and force spent on the back and forth, and what annoyed Boro the most.
This obviously uncontrollable situation caused the war to spread almost to the entire Kusagakure. This is not the territory of Land of Earth, let alone Iwagakure. The Iwagakure Ninjas started taking action, but they had no scruples at all!
But the Kusa Ninjas have to restrain their hands. This is their home, where their relatives and friends exist. The so-called home field advantage has completely turned into a disadvantage at this moment!
Of course, Iwagakure Ninja cannot really be unscrupulous. Akatsuchi and Arai Kenjirō have already confessed before that they cannot really treat Kusagakure was reduced to ruins, causing heavy casualties to the people inside. Their Iwagakure goal was to completely annex the entire Kusagakure, and they really wanted to have a bloody feud!
It is very detrimental to future plans. If that happens, Akatsuchi and Arai can fully imagine how their own Lord Tsuchikage will scold them and punish them severely. Similarly, for Boro, defeating Iwagakure is the primary goal, but on the basis of completing this primary goal, it is within the scope of their own abilities.
Boro also hopes as much as possible not to cause too many casualties to Iwagakure Ninja. It is definitely better to capture than to kill. The more Iwagakure Ninja captured, the more they can become the capital for the next negotiation. This is the best result that Boro expected!
only.
above war.
Everything is difficult to change based on human subjective will.
"Bang!"
"Pfft!"
"Boom!"
One bloody fight after another was staged one after another in Kusagakure, and Boro could only force it to proceed according to its own planned rhythm!
"Mammoth! I can only leave the village to you!"
It's not just an accident in the village.
They learned the news immediately that a large number of Iwagakure Ninja appeared less than ten miles away from the village. A rough estimate was that there were at least seven or eight hundred people. This was obviously the main force of Iwagakure stationed in Land of Grass.
He must immediately lead the remaining Kusa Ninja army to intercept!
"Kakuzu-san, the commander of Iwagakure Ninja is troublesome for you. He doesn't care whether he lives or lives!"
While Boro was commanding his Kusa Ninja army to leave the village immediately to fight the incoming Iwagakure Ninja army, he also said this to a man wearing a fire cloud black robe and a half-mask who had quietly appeared next to Boro at some unknown time.
And to the left of this man.
There was another figure wearing a black robe of fire cloud that seemed to be curled up in a ball and lying on the ground.
These two figures are not others.
It is Kakuzu and Scorpion who are the first villains of the dark organization in Original Work - Akatsuki's official members. Unlike Original Work, Deidara who joined Akatsuki very late. People like, Hidan, Itachi, Kisame Hoshigaki, Kakuzu, and Scorpion are the first group of members summoned when Nagato and Obito made up their minds to start executing the plan!
Kakuzu is the financial steward in Akatsuki!
All capital inflows and outflows are the responsibility of this Shinobi World first miser. This time he took the initiative to provide "door-to-door service" precisely because Kakuzu smelled the smell of money. As expected, with this Kusagakure leader, Kakuzu once again enriched his organization's financial resources. In the treasury, Akatsuki's funds in Original Work were almost all earned by Kakuzu alone. If he later knew that all the money he had worked hard to earn for more than ten years was completely used up by Konan at once, I don't know what kind of state of mind he would be in!
"Haha, don't worry, Commander Boro. Our organization has never let down its employers. You pay and we carry out the mission. It's that simple. We will definitely save the head of Commander Iwagakure Ninja." We will bring them to you in the shortest time, of course, including those ordinary Iwagakure Ninja. If the leader Boro is willing to bid as I said before, we can help you deal with it together!"
Kakuzu's green pupils revealed a ray of extremely cold light. He chuckled and said with a touch of ease, as the most elite person ever trained by the shadow of Takigakure First, inherited the weirdest Earth Grudge Fear in the village, and even participated in the assassination of First Hokage forty or fifty years ago. Even though he survived in a very funny way, it was enough to make Kakuzu proud!
He really didn't think it would be such a troublesome thing to kill a Jōnin commander of Iwagakure, not to mention that he had a partner who was not inferior to him in terms of strength, and in a sense was more suitable for the battlefield - Sasori of the Red Sands!
As a member of Akatsuki, Kakuzu knows very well how strong his partner is!
Not to mention he is just a commander!
From Kakuzu's point of view, those six to seven hundred Iwagakure Ninja are just a matter of extra effort.
The moment I heard the words Kakuzu.
Although it was not the first time, Boro couldn't help but be tempted, but when he thought of the astronomical price, Boro could only suppress the restlessness in his heart.
"No, there's no need to bother Kakuzu-san!"
Even though he knew it was easier that way, Boro would rather choose his own side to pay the price of some casualties. Anyway, these two people suddenly entered the formation. Without the commander, the Iwagakure Ninja army was not allowed to be ravaged by his own side!?
