But silence cannot last forever. Someone has to stand up and assume the responsibility of the decision-making role.
The Third Hokage silently stepped forward and said, "We agree."
"But I hope you can let go of those ninjas below. For the battle between us, their existence will only make this game boring."
"Oh?" Piccolo said with interest, "Are you negotiating terms with me?"
"No..." Resisting the discomfort in his heart, the Third Hokage continued, "This is our request."
"Our Five Shadows..."
"ask."
After he finished saying this, he looked as wilted as an eggplant beaten by frost, and his figure became rickety unconsciously, as if he had aged by more than ten years.
What he just said may not be a problem in other people's mouths, but he is Konoha's Kage! By saying this, doesn't he already admit that the two sides are in an unequal position? By saying this, doesn't he mean that they are showing weakness to the demons
But what can he do
The strength gap between the two sides…
Too obvious.
The same goes for the other five shadows. In front of the demon army and Piccolo, the pressure they bear is too great.
They also know that they probably have little chance to survive, so these dignity... give them up if they should!
At least…
At least let the ninja who came out with them go back alive!
This is the future of their Ninja Village! A ninja village can be missing an aging Kage, but it cannot be missing their new ones!
"I accept your request."
After a moment of silence, Piccolo grinned, "After all, this world will be mine sooner or later."
"Then let's go down."
Ohnoki's brows relaxed, and then he flew down first. As one of the few ninjas who could fly, he could fly high into the sky without the help of a golden cudgel.
"Tushiro, you are not the real Raikage yet. If you have the chance, come with everyone." Sarutobi said to Toshiro during the descent.
Those who remain will probably die. Being able to transport one more master is leaving a hope for the future. He has already prepared for the worst, that is, when the Ninja World and the Shichibukai are all defeated
"Are you kidding me?" Toshiro chuckled. "Since I have betrayed everyone's trust, how can I disappoint Kumogakure behind me? Even if I die, I will die as a Raikage."
"Then let's work together to find a way out." The third Mizukage's voice came from behind, "That guy probably isn't familiar with ninjutsu, so let's rely on this to spend time with him, and wait until everyone is far away to find a solution. Fight out."
His voice was filled with murderous intent. In the previous confrontation, he was actually intimidated by the enemy's power. This was simply a shame and made his face turn red.
They were discussing countermeasures while sliding down on the golden cudgel, and Onoki, who had gone down first, had already reached the ground.
"All ninjas, listen!"
he shouted
"I don't care which ninja village you are from, it doesn't matter if you are from Iwagakure! Next, we will buy time for you. You must inform the information here back to the village and... the Shichibukai as quickly as possible!"
At present, in the ninja world, apart from the two people who fought in Konoha, he really can't think of anyone else who can fight with Piccolo.
According to what they said, both sides did not exert their full strength in the original battle, but the fighting specifications still exceeded the shadow level.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration in his heart.
The five most powerful ninja villages, but in the face of this upcoming world war, there are no masters who can step into that realm...
What a travesty!
"Lord Tsuchikage! How can we leave you here to fight in a bloody battle to cover our retreat?!" An Iwagakure immediately shouted, "The Five Kages are the future of the five great ninja villages and the future of the ninja world. The next step should be It’s up to us to cover Lord Tsuchikage’s retreat!”
His words resonated with many ninjas. Few who could become jounin were afraid of dying in battle. Instead of dying in obscurity, they would rather die in a vigorous battle!
"Stop talking nonsense!" Onoki shouted coldly, "Don't underestimate our Five Shadows! As long as you don't drag us down, we can rush out even with thousands of troops!"
"Or… "
"You think you can intervene in our battle?! Huh?!"
"this… "
The ninja who spoke hesitated, "But..."
"No but! Leave immediately! Go to Konoha, to the Kingdom of Iron, and inform the leader of the Shichibukai!"
… … …
"I...I understand!"
He turned his head, couldn't bear to close his eyes, and said forcefully, "Everyone, obey Lord Tsuchikage's order! Let's retreat!"
“…”
"yes!"
After a brief silence, there was a unified reply. The ninjas left only their backs, and then set off with concern for the Five Shadows and confusion about the future.
I really can't believe that there are five shadows in this world who join forces just to protect these ninjas from one day to the next. Maybe even the fate in the dark can't arrange such a magical story...
"Huh..." Seeing them moving away without any movement from the demons, Onoki let out a sigh of relief, but what followed was a deeper worry.
This guy has obviously been sealed for thousands of years, but does he still have such a strong binding force on the demons who remain in the ninja world
You must know that if they are all wiped out here, I am afraid that the ninja world will be disconnected from thin air for decades!
But this is not good news...
Because this can only prove that the demons are still as loyal to the Holy Lord as they were thousands of years ago. Logically speaking, it is impossible for a political power to still worship a person without any miscellaneous intentions after thousands of years as it was at the beginning. , this is not in line with people’s hearts at all.
Especially as a shadow of a village, Onoki is very aware of how strong the desire for power is among humans. There are many people in Iwagakure who are dissatisfied with him, and this has only been a few decades.
It is unscientific for a big force like the Demon Clan to have existed for thousands of years, and it is even more outrageous to be united now!
Could it be that in these thousand years, no one has ever thought of taking the place of the Holy Lord
This cohesion, this loyalty, this trust made Onoki completely understand the terror of the demons.
Of course, there are other possibilities...
That is, in their eyes, the so-called elites of various countries, including their Five Shadows, are small characters not worth mentioning...
That's why they let them go without any scruples!
But this possibility was so terrifying that Onoki didn’t dare to think too much! If even the Five Kage and their bodyguards are not worth mentioning, then who else in the ninja world can stop them? !
In the silence, Onoki shivered unconsciously...
