After Chiya left, the Wood Release Chakra that shrouded the mountaintop completely dissipated.
Raikage didn't stop, turned around and rushed down the mountain.
"Raikage!"
Mifune was just about to call him, but Raikage's figure had already disappeared into the snow.
Kumogakure was attacked. Too much time has passed since the news came. What's more, Chiya has been holding them here for so long. Raikage simply doesn't dare to think about what the situation in the village is now.
Ōnoki looked at the direction he left, his face also very solemn.
Akatsuki suddenly attacked Kumogakure, and Chiya happened to appear at Five Kage Summit. If there is no connection between these two incidents, I am afraid no one here would believe it.
"Immediately report what happened here to the village."
Ōnoki looked at the guard beside him.
"Especially Chiya Uchiha. He has already stood together with Akatsuki. From now on, all the forces in the village will be on alert."
"Yes!"
The Iwagakure Ninja responded and quickly rushed down the mountain.
Gaara stood in front of the wreckage of Wood Human and remained silent.
He remembered the scene where Chiya once stood in front of Akatsuki and rescued him from their hands. He also recalled the battle just now, when Chiya held the four shadows alone and prevented them from leaving here.
Temari stood beside him, his face a little pale.
Until now, it was still difficult for her to connect the Chiya in her memory with the man who stood above Wood Human just now and was the enemy of the entire Shinobi World.
But the facts are already before our eyes.
Chiya personally admitted that he was related to Akatsuki and helped them hold back the Four Shadows.
"Gaara..."
Gaara interrupted her.
"Have someone send the message back to Sand Village."
His voice was very calm, without any emotion.
"The village has entered a wartime state. All border troops have stopped going out and the defense line has been reduced as soon as possible."
Temari opened his mouth and finally nodded.
"I understand."
Mei Terumi is standing not far away.
The clothes on her body had been torn a lot in the battle, and there was a wound on her right arm that was opened by sawdust. The blood had long solidified, but she never dealt with it.
Qing walked to her side.
"Master Mizukage, it's time for us to leave."
Mei Terumi has no answer.
Qing followed her gaze and saw that there were only large pieces of debris left after the collapse of Wood Human.
After a long time, Mei Terumi finally looked back.
"Tell all what happened today back to the village."
She paused.
"From now on, Hidden Mist Village enters the highest alert state."
Qing's expression was a little complicated, but he finally lowered his head.
"Yes."
After the respective messages were sent away, Ōnoki slowly flew into the air.
"No one knows what happened to Hidden Cloud Village yet. I will go over and have a look."
Gaara nodded.
Chiya tried his best to stop them here, must be buying time for Akatsuki. Now Raikage rushes back alone, it may not be safe.
"Sand Village is going too."
Mei Terumi said nothing, just turned around and followed.
There is no need to continue this Five Kage Summit.
Konoha Hokage died at the venue, Akatsuki attacked Kumogakure, and Chiya publicly sided with them. In just one day, the balance that Shinobi World had barely maintained had been completely broken.
Mifune stood in the ruins and watched everyone leave.
He looked down at the broken round table at his feet and let out a long sigh.
This Five Kage Summit meeting was originally held to deal with Akatsuki, but in the end nothing was agreed upon.
Even Five Kage, there are only four left.
In the woods, Naruto's fingers suddenly moved.
After a few seconds, he slowly opened his eyes.
Above my head was the sunlight cut into pieces by the branches and leaves, and in my ears I could only hear the sound of the wind blowing through the woods.
Naruto stared at the sky for a long time before his consciousness gradually returned.
Chiya.
He sat up suddenly, but felt a strong sense of weakness in his body. The Chakra in his body had almost been completely consumed, and even the power of Nine-Tails was unusually quiet.
Naruto held on to the tree trunk beside him and stood up reluctantly.
There are traces of battle everywhere around. Large trees have been uprooted, the ground is covered with deep pits, and the smell of burning after the explosion still lingers in the air.
Deidara has long disappeared.
Seven-Tails Jinchuriki was also taken away.
Naruto stood there, his expression getting increasingly ugly.
He summoned Nine Masked Beasts, used Senjutsu and Nine-Tails Chakra, and finally split out so many Shadow Clone, using Spiraling Ring, Big Ball Rasengan and Wind Release: Rasenshuriken at the same time.
But he still couldn't get past Chiya.
He didn't even do it to injure Chiya.
Naruto lowered his head and looked at his hands.
In the past, he always felt that as long as he learned stronger ninjutsu, he would be able to protect those around him.
But when Jiraiya died, he couldn't do anything.
The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki was taken away right in front of his eyes, and he had no choice.
Naruto's fingers slowly tightened.
"Damn..."
His fist hit the tree trunk hard.
Bang!
The whole tree swayed, and leaves kept falling on his shoulders.
"It's still too weak..."
After he said this, he stood with his head lowered for a long time.
Suddenly a deep voice of Nine-Tails came from within the body.
"Do you finally understand?"
Naruto Close your eyes, and your consciousness appears in the sealed space.
Behind the huge iron gate, Nine-Tails was lying on the water, with two scarlet eyes looking at him through the railing.
"That Uchiha Clan never wanted to kill you from the beginning."
Naruto said nothing.
"Otherwise, do you think you can still stand here?"
Naruto's fists clenched again.
Of course he knew that Chiya kept it.
It was precisely because he knew that this battle made him even more unacceptable.
He has used all the power he can use, and Chiya can still easily suppress Nine-Tails Chakra, pass through all Shadow Clone, and directly find his body.
The gap between the two sides was wider than he thought.
Naruto raised his head.
"Nine-Tails."
Nine-Tails's ears moved.
Naruto rarely calls it this. There is no fox, no smelly fox, and no intention of quarrel.
"My father said that only half of your power is in me."
"Where is the other half?"
Nine-Tails slowly raised his head, his eyes changed somewhat.
"What do you want to do?"
"If I get the other half back, will I become stronger?"
Nine-Tails stared at him for a few seconds.
"Of course."
Naruto's breathing paused slightly.
"Where is the other half?"
The sealed space became quiet.
Nine-Tails did not answer immediately, and his thick tail slowly swung behind him.
"Back then, Fourth Hokage split my Chakra into two halves."
"The one left in your body is Yang Release Chakra. The other half was sealed into his body by him."
Naruto was stunned for a moment.
"Inside my father?"
"That's right."
Nine-Tails raised his paw, and his sharp nails fell on the water.
"However, he used Dead Demon Consuming Seal. After the spell was completed, his soul and the other half, Chakra, were all swallowed up by Shinigami."
Naruto stood outside the iron gate, motionless.
He originally thought that the other half of Nine-Tails might be sealed somewhere in Konoha, or hidden in a special ninja tool.
Unexpectedly, it actually entered Shinigami's body along with Minato.
Nine-Tails lay down again.
"Dead people don't crawl out of Shinigami's belly on their own."
Naruto was silent for a long time.
Nine-Tails thought he would be disappointed, but unexpectedly Naruto suddenly turned around and walked out of the sealed space.
"Where are you going?"
Naruto stopped.
"Find a way to bring the dead back."
Nine-Tails narrowed his eyes.
"Ninjutsu that manipulates the dead is not a good thing in this world."
Naruto There is no looking back.
"Ninjutsu is neither good nor bad."
"There are just people who use it."
After his consciousness left the sealed space, Naruto opened his eyes again.
Not far away, the white mask that fell from his face was lying in the soil, with several cracks on it.
Naruto walked over and picked up the mask.
He patted the dirt off and put it on his face again.
Soon there was only one figure in black robe left in the woods.
Naruto checked the direction, but did not return to Konoha, nor did it go to Mount Myoboku.
He wanted to find out first what kind of ninjutsu could bring the dead back to this world.
Even if it's just for a moment.
He wants to bring his father and Jiraiya back.
