I don't know how much time passed, but the sky began to darken, but the battle still did not come to an end, but the intensity seemed to have dropped.
The light left in the air Chakra and Komurasaki felt that both sides of the war were starting to get tired.
The battle venues have also been changed several times.
Komurasaki While rushing on the road, pay attention to the surrounding environment.
From time to time, you can still see Hidden Cloud Village ninjas who were bombed with only some stumps and broken bodies. Most of them followed Kinkaku Ginkaku to encircle and suppress Tobirama and others' subordinates.
Depending on the situation, Kinkaku Ginkaku, who was the sneak attacker, suffered heavy damage.
The lost Six Paths Ninja Tools was not recovered immediately, and the subordinates died for it.
At this moment, Komurasaki suddenly saw a flash of silvery gray in front of him, and a warning sign suddenly occurred in his heart. He quickly ducked behind a tree, held his breath, and reduced his sense of presence.
That familiar silver-gray texture is unmistakable, it is the Ginkaku among the Kinkaku Ginkaku brothers.
'The battle is not over yet, why is he here?'
Komurasaki tilted his head and tentatively scanned the location of Ginkaku with the peripheral vision of his eyes.
However, the strange thing is that half a minute has passed and Ginkaku is motionless there.
'Why aren't you moving? Could it be that...'
Komurasaki thought of a surprising possibility, walked out from behind the tree, slowly approached Ginkaku's position from behind, and deliberately made a little noise.
As a result, Ginkaku seemed not to hear the noise she deliberately made, and continued to lie under the big tree without moving her body.
Komurasaki came to Ginkaku and observed his situation carefully.
Ginkaku had burns caused by the explosion, but it looked like they were not fatal. For a ninja with such a strong physique like Ginkaku, it could only be considered a minor injury.
After all, their brothers were monsters that could escape from Nine-Tails's belly and eat Nine-Tails Chakra Meat alive.
It is impossible for ordinary attacks to cause fatal injuries to them.
But the current situation...
Komurasaki glanced at Ginkaku's eyes. There was no liveliness in them, and he stared straight ahead with a lifeless look.
"Is this guy... dead?"
Because the state is so weird, Komurasaki is not sure whether Ginkaku is dead.
The color in his eyes is indeed like that of a dead person, but inside his body, there seems to be a trace of insignificant vitality remaining, but it is very weak, like a candle in the wind, and may be extinguished at any time.
Even if he is alive, he is no different than dead.
Regarding this situation, Komurasaki is also a little confused.
In this weird state between life and death, was it hit by some strange Ninjutsu?
This feeling of immortality is like the body is still alive, but the spirit has been killed.
Komurasaki dare not put Ginkaku into the scroll for storage at will, because the sealed scroll can only store dead objects. Ginkaku, who originally still had a trace of life in his body, would not be able to protect the last trace of life in his body if he was sealed in the scroll.
Such a valuable experimental body cannot have accidents due to mistakes.
"So, take Ginkaku and leave now, or..."
Komurasaki is in a dilemma.
Her intuition told her that taking Ginkaku away from the battlefield now was the wisest choice.
After so long, Konoha and Hidden Cloud Village may have discovered that something unexpected happened during the negotiation process, and large forces from both sides may arrive at any time.
In the end, Komurasaki decided to take advantage of the big deal.
"Half an hour, wait another half hour at most. Once the time is up, leave the battlefield quickly!"
Set a final time limit for your stay, which is also what Komurasaki considers to be a safe time.
Otherwise, if the whereabouts are leaked and known to outsiders, even if brother Kinkaku Ginkaku is finally caught, the gain will not be worth the loss, and Land of Night will become the target of public criticism.
Yayoi also asked her to complete this task while ensuring the safety of her whereabouts.
◎
In the forest, more than several kilometers of land were affected by the fighting. The destructive power of the fighting was so strong that it almost completely reshaped the natural landscape of the area.
The originally vibrant forest was on the verge of collapse, reduced to a dead land of scorched earth, with an unsettling aura of violence still lingering in the air that did not dissipate immediately.
"Haha, hahahaha, cough, cough--"
Kinkaku, with flying yellow hair, was sitting on the ground, coughing and laughing, but his laughter was unrestrained and sad, falling into a state of madness, making it unclear what his mental state was.
Different from the arrogance and confidence when he was chasing Konoha Ninja at the beginning, he looked extremely embarrassed at this moment.
The armor on his body was torn, and his upper body was completely exposed. His chest was exploded by an unknown attack, and even the ribs inside could be clearly seen.
But he did not die, relying on his extraordinary vitality to survive.
At the wound location, there is still weak red Chakra seeping out, slowly repairing this fatal injury.
He was laughing and vomiting blood.
The body stood up from the ground tremblingly, and his eyes fiercely glanced at the scorched forest in front of him that was blasted to pieces with Tailed-Beast Bomb. Looking from a distance, he could vaguely see a tattered body, lying in the center of the hole barely intact, with white hair flying slightly with the sand and dust.
This corpse is none other than Tobirama.
Kinkaku looked at Tobirama's corpse, his bloodshot eyes filled with anger and hatred, but no joy.
"Damn Konoha Hokage, actually... actually killed Ginkaku... It's really abominable... cough cough, cough cough..."
Because his mood was too exciting, Kinkaku couldn't help coughing again, and blood kept pouring out of his mouth and spilled all over the floor.
Kinkaku knows very well that his body is reaching its limit. If he continues to fight, he will collapse first without the enemy taking action.
Fortunately, Konoha's great enemy Hokage was killed by him himself.
But if you had it to do over again, would you still launch this coup?
Kinkaku looked up at the gray sky, and a little bit of rain fell, slowly cooling down his agitated heart.
Probably not, if I had to do it again...
Kinkaku told himself this in his heart.
In order to complete this coup, not only did he lose his most important subordinates, but his own brother also died in this battle.
It's fine now, my brother is dead, and all the core subordinates have been killed.
What kind of boss is a boss without the support of his subordinates?
"Anyway, we have to find the scattered Six Paths Ninja Tools, but before that..."
Recovering the body of his younger brother Ginkaku is more important than Six Paths Ninja Tools being scattered in an unknown place.
Kinkaku covered the injury on his chest and returned step by step in the same direction.
He remembered that the body of his younger brother Ginkaku was in this position.
After retrieving his brother's body, he went to recover Six Paths Ninja Tools and collect the bodies of his subordinates, and finally he could slowly recover from his injuries.
As for the future, he couldn't think about it for that long.
The level of losses in this operation was far beyond his expectation.
The only thing that can be guessed is that if you return to Hidden Cloud Village in this attitude, your situation will be extremely dangerous and you will probably be liquidated.
The factions of Hidden Cloud Village can be roughly divided into the main war faction and the peace faction led by the dead Second A.
But among the main fighting factions, he and his younger brother Ginkaku are only representatives of one of the factions. There is another equally large and powerful main fighting faction.
Behind that faction is the support of the First Raikage family, and there are two major Jinchūrikis.
Even the position of the third generation 'Ai' was decided in advance by the main fighting faction of this group.
More importantly...
"The plan to sneak attack Second A was a bit too smooth, and so many Jonin were secretly transferred. It is impossible for those people to be unaware. Maybe they have already started to take action, waiting for both sides to suffer losses before coming out..."
Those people mentioned by Kinkaku naturally refer to another branch of Hidden Cloud Village's main war faction.
When he thought of this, Kinkaku couldn't help but quicken his pace, wanting to act quickly, at least to recover Ginkaku's body and Six Paths Ninja Tools.
From the beginning of the plan, Kinkaku actually never thought that he would end up in this situation.
Rather, the plan went very smoothly at the beginning. He and Ginkaku easily eliminated the obstacle Second A with almost no effort.
It was only in the end that Kinkaku discovered that this plan was completely wrong, that is, the order in which he and others started was completely wrong.
He and Ginkaku should not attack Second A first, but Second Hokage Tobirama Senju first.
But the matter has come to this, and it is too late to regret now. We can only take it one step at a time.
"Ahem, I remember it was here..."
Far away from the battlefield where Tobirama was buried, Kinkaku coughed softly. Under Nine-Tails Chakra's recovery, although Kinkaku's breath was still fragile, his complexion had recovered a bit and was not so pale as to be frightening.
He fell into a forest and searched for the body of his younger brother Ginkaku.
Without spending much effort, Kinkaku quickly found the place where his brother Ginkaku's body lay.
I saw Ginkaku lying under a tree. The surface of his body seemed to be intact, but his eyes were dim and there was no life in his body.
Seeing this scene, Kinkaku couldn't help but feel sad. No matter how ferocious and cruel a ninja was, it was still hard to accept seeing his only close relative dying in front of him like this.
Kinkaku walked forward, wanting to bend down and close his eyes for Ginkaku.
Just as he was about to stretch out his hand, suddenly, a deep purple light suddenly lit up on Ginkaku's body, and a purple light and shadow sprang out from Ginkaku's body, heading straight for him.
Kinkaku's face changed, he wanted to dodge but it was too late.
The purple phantom crashed into his head and disappeared directly there.
Kinkaku's body shook, then swayed, as if sleepwalking, swaying in place, his eyes dull and dull.
A figure walked out from behind the tree, wearing a lavender sleeveless kimono that only covered the thighs. It was Komurasaki who had been waiting for a long time.
She let go of her hands and was able to control Kinkaku in a seriously injured state without the need to maintain precise spells.
The opponent's body and spirit have reached their limit, and there is no way to resist her Genjutsu.
"As per the information, the relationship between these brothers is very deep..."
Looking at Kinkaku being controlled by his own Genjutsu, Komurasaki nodded with satisfaction.
She had already made two plans. If Jinjiao failed and was killed, she would take Yinjiao back to recover.
If Kinkaku succeeds, he must turn back as soon as possible to find the whereabouts of Ginkaku.
In this way, she only needs to wait and see within the final time limit.
Without hesitation, Komurasaki immediately took action, grabbing Kinkaku with his right hand and Ginkaku with his left hand, lifting their heavy bodies lightly, turning around and running quickly in the direction of Land of Night.
She didn't dare to stay here for too long. The support troops of Konoha and Hidden Cloud Village might appear here at any time now.
Now that the mission goal is obtained, there is no need for her to create extra complications. It is the best policy to return to Land of Night with the goal as soon as possible.
