Within the Land of Fire.
On a certain tree.
Qingyu stood quietly on the branch at the top of the tree.
There was no breath emanating from his whole body, as if he was integrated with nature, and seemed out of place in this noisy and solemn environment.
Beneath the branches is the battlefield.
The ninjas of Iwagakure Village continued to attack the ninjas of Konoha Village as if they were crazy.
At this point in time.
The ninjas of Iwagakure Village are inherently stronger and well-trained, and have a great advantage over the ninjas of Konoha Village, even in dense forests that are not particularly suitable for earth escape ninjutsu.
"withdraw!"
The eyes of the ninjas of Konoha Village flashed with despair. When they received the order, they did not fight to the death with the ninjas of Iwagakure Village, but retreated while fighting.
The main tendency is not to fight, but to retreat, to avoid fighting and retreat as much as possible.
Such battle decisions have achieved good results before, but this time, the ninjas of Iwagakure did not retreat because they gained a small advantage, but continued to attack them.
The sudden changes made them very uncomfortable.
As a result, many tragic losses were caused.
"What happened to the ninjas in Iwagakure Village? We have retreated so far, why don't they go back?"
"Are all the ninjas in Iwagakure Village crazy?"
"What should we do now? Continue to retreat? Or fight?"
"How are we going to fight these crazy dogs?!"
“…”
The ninjas of Konoha Village were fighting and retreating, and were still complaining and communicating with each other. The changes that took place in this battle were unexpected for them, so they were not adequately prepared.
certainly.
Not only were these ninjas unprepared.
Even Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumoger, the commander of the Konohagakure Allied Forces, didn't even think of it.
At this moment.
Hatake Sakumo's face was pale and almost without any blood, and his face was full of panic. He had a lot of personal and team experience, but this was his first time presiding over a ninja army.
Not only that.
the most important is.
Hatake Sakumo's psychological quality has never been very good.
I care more about the opinions of people around me.
Just when the ninjas of Iwagakure Village were constantly charging forward without any tendency to retreat, he realized that this time Iwagakure Village was planning to launch a general attack.
This was entirely a mistake in his decision-making.
Now facing the surging Iwagakure Village ninja army, he can resist several people by himself, but after all, not everyone has his ability. No matter how strong he is, he still has to watch one after another. The ninja fell beside him.
Such a scene made him clench his teeth, and his gums were about to collapse and bleed. His heart was extremely broken, but he couldn't think of a solution for a while.
He wanted the ninjas of Konoha Village to retreat quickly and leave this place quickly, but the ninjas of Iwagakure Village were chasing after them without giving them any chance. The more they retreated, the more passive the situation became. As for keeping the war situation in a one-sided trend.
but…
If the order is issued now.
Let the ninjas of Konoha Village fight back.
Then it's another situation.
Now the ninjas of Konoha Village have suffered heavy casualties. If they continue to fight, there is no need to think about it, and it will lead to even more tragic results.
In this way…
Hatake Sakumo is in a dilemma!
Neither is Jin.
Neither does retreat.
For a moment, I didn't know how to make a decision.
Now he wished he could have a pair of wings and take the ninjas of Konoha Village away from this place of right and wrong, but he also understood that escaping was not the principle of war, but the current situation was too passive and was close to becoming unacceptable. The result was.
"kill!"
At this time, Lu Ting, the leader of the ninja army of Iwagakure Village, shouted angrily. His thinking was very quick and he had clearly captured the key points of the matter. He understood that the ninjas of Konoha Village were already in a state of collapse. .
If you want to win now, then you must attack boldly and take advantage of the current situation to rush through at one go.
Until now they had been hesitant.
Now that Lu Ting had received information about Green Earth and Yellow Earth, he no longer hesitated and became focused. He also led the ninjas in Yanyin Village to burst out with a strong desire to attack. This was the time when the momentum was like a rainbow. .
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
“…”
After hearing Lu Ting's words, the ninjas of Iwagakure Village at the scene also started shouting, and they shouted loudly one after another, which instantly made the murderous intention emanating from the whole body even more intense, and the momentum instantly became stronger. Climb to a new peak again.
All of a sudden.
The momentum of the ninja army in Iwagakure Village was in sharp contrast to the momentum of the ninja army in Konoha Village.
The confidence of the ninjas in Iwagakure Village doubled, and with the intention of avenging Lord Tsuchikage, they completely unleashed a fighting power that exceeded their own. Almost everyone believed that they could achieve the final victory.
The other side.
The ninjas of Konoha Village were in disarray. Facing their companions who kept falling and the opponent's strong attacks, they all felt that they were in a desperate situation.
in this situation.
Almost everyone knows it.
Konoha Village will suffer a disastrous defeat this time.
the most important is…
Konoha Village can no longer afford to lose.
The reinforcements didn't come at all, or there were none at all. If this group of people died, then the students of the ninja school would have to participate in the battle.
It turns out…
According to the original trajectory of this group of people...
He did die on this battlefield!
…
above the branches.
Qingyu looked at the situation in front of him quietly.
The brow behind the mask frowned slightly.
"Isn't it a bit much?"
Qingyu murmured to himself. After several times of his intervention, he gradually understood a sentence: God decides to make things happen.
Not every arrangement will run according to the expected trajectory.
This is also why it is difficult to be the boss behind the scenes.
At first, he wanted to keep the situation in the ninja world in a mutually stable situation, so that he could successfully delay Minato's return, but he found that once that situation was formed, it would be a three-party restriction, Konoha Village, Iwagakure Village and Sand No one in the Hidden Village dares to easily attack the other side, and Yunyin Village and Kirigakure Village contain each other.
If things go on like this, not only will it not provide room for Minato to develop, but it will also lead to a mentality of burnout due to long-term procrastination. In the end, it is extremely likely to turn into peace and enter a new round of stable development period.
There must be a breakthrough!
And the breakthrough point must be just right!
This is not easy!
The breakthrough of the Third Ninja World War on the original historical track was the sudden disappearance of the third generation Kazekage, which directly led to a significant reduction in the power of Sunagakure Village, creating a strong imbalance in strength.
Now the breakthrough created by Qingyu is to cause dissatisfaction among the ninjas of Iwagakure Village by attacking the Third Tsuchikage, and then attack Konoha Village to break the current stable deadlock.
But…
Qingyu looked at the battlefield in front of him.
The deadlock is broken.
Just a little too much force.
This time, all the ninjas in Konoha Village were almost wiped out.
But it wasn't time for Minato to return yet.
Such timing is really bad!
Qingyu raised his hand and rubbed his temples. At this moment, he was thinking quickly, wondering whether to take action to solve the problem here. After all, once these ninjas died, the combat effectiveness of Konoha Village would be extremely low. to the extent.
"Um?"
However.
Just at this time.
Qingyu's pupils shrank severely.
There was doubt in the depths of his eyes at first, and then it turned into a sparkle. The corners of the mouth behind the mask were slightly raised, revealing a knowing smile.
"Kushina is back!"
"Looks like Minato is back!"
“The timing is perfect!”
"The blind cat has met a dead mouse!"
"Perfect!"
Qingyu said to himself proudly, he just felt that now was the best opportunity for Minato to return. If he came a little earlier, he wouldn't be able to use Minato, and if he came a little late, he wouldn't be able to quench his thirst. Now the situation has been formed, and he doesn't A way to save the situation and wait for Minato's return.
But Minato just happened to return at this time!
This is such a tacit understanding!
Aoyu didn't release all his sensory abilities, and he couldn't identify which one was Minato, but he could clearly feel Kushina's chakra.
It's not because there's anything special about the nature of Kushina's chakra.
But for a very simple reason.
large!
Kushina's quantity is very large!
Qingyu once sensed it once before Kushina left. In the crowded Konoha Village, the chakras of each ninja appeared in his perception like stars, but Kushina Like the bright sun among these people, he completely stood out.
This is not just because Kushina is the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi!
Kushina herself is a member of the Uzumaki clan, and she is also a pure-blooded Uzumaki clan. At the same age, the chakra content in her body is far greater than that of Naruto of the same age.
What's more, the nine tails in Kushina's body is a complete nine tails, which is more powerful than the nine tails sealed in Naruto's body.
It can be said that Kushina, who is dealing with this matter now, has completely surrounded Naruto in terms of strength.
Just now.
Qingyu was still hesitating whether to take action or not.
He clearly felt a majestic chakra flash out, suddenly appearing not far behind the ninjas of Konoha Village. Such sudden appearance of chakra could not be noticed by others, but for Qingyu, It was like a huge light bulb placed in the dark night, and it couldn't be any more dazzling.
Kushina is back.
This also means that Minato is back too.
Qingyu can still be sure of this.
"Now you can watch the show."
Qingyu restrained his aura again. He knew very well that when Minato came back this time, he must have mastered the sage mode, so his ability to perceive is different from what it used to be.
If you don't pay attention a little bit.
It is very likely that Minato will find out.
After all, Minato is very attentive and can discover details that others cannot.
Now everything has been laid out for this purpose
Then he must not be exposed in front of Minato.
When the matter was over, he left his clothes and hid his merit and fame. The face behind Qingyu's mask gradually showed a relaxed look. He could finally return to a quiet life and leave the rest to Minato.
…
On the battlefield of Konoha Village.
While the ninjas quickly retreated one by one, they were still attacking the ninjas of Iwagakure Village. They were getting injured at any time. Almost everyone was mentally prepared for the possibility of losing their lives, and a feeling of despair gradually enveloped them. .
There is no way!
There is no way to break the situation!
This reminded them of the group of ANBU troops in front of them that were almost completely dead or injured.
In this current situation, they no longer dare to think about what kind of situation will happen when the army of Iwagakure Village reaches Konoha.
Is it over? !
This thought comes to everyone's mind involuntarily. The despair in their hearts has suppressed all hope, because they can't see hope at all.
"no!"
Just at this time.
Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumoge's eyes burst out with strong unwillingness. He could not allow this battle to end in such an aggrieved failure due to his wrong decision!
He could not live up to the expectations placed on him by everyone in the Konoha village.
We must fight!
Something has to change!
Once they lose, Konoha Village will be finished!
Suddenly.
Hatake Sakumo took out two kunai again. Now he was surrounded by the four Iwagakure village jounin. He was already too busy to take care of himself. It was difficult for him to defeat the four with his fists. It was very difficult to break through.
Whoosh!
Another figure suddenly appeared.
This person is Lu Ting, the commander of the ninja army in Yanyin Village.
Luting stared at Hatake Sakumo with cold eyes.
"Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, I know you are very powerful, but you can't catch anyone today. We really can't do anything to you in a short time, but we can let you see the ninjas of your Konoha Village with your own eyes. Die in front of you one after another!"
Lu Ting's tone was very cold, and now his purpose was very simple, that is, through words and situational stimulation, to destroy Hatake Sakumo's heart bit by bit.
He is very aware of the problems between Iwagakure and Konoha.
Iwagakure Village has a very strong core.
But the top combat power cannot match that of Konoha Village.
Fortunately, none of the Konoha Sannin came this time, only Hatake Sakumo, which allowed them to cope without being completely helpless.
"snort!"
Hatake Sakumo shouted coldly, ignoring Lu Ting's words, but concentrated on dealing with the ninja who besieged him. His forehead began to be covered with fine beads of sweat.
These people can do nothing to him.
But it's not easy for him to break through.
There was no way to support the ninjas of Konoha Village who kept falling.
The situation was extremely urgent.
Ding!
suddenly.
A slightly crisp sound was clearly transmitted into everyone's ears, causing everyone to look in the direction of the source of the sound involuntarily in the noisy environment.
Right at the place where the ninjas of Konoha Village and the ninjas of Iwagakure Village fought.
The front of the ninja army in Konoha Village.
A strange-shaped three-pronged kunai suddenly pierced into the rock, just in front of the ninja army of Iwagakure Village, and protected the ninja army of Konoha Village behind it. A special talisman was tied to the handle of the kunai. There are four words written on it: "Sword of Tolerance".
The moment this kunai appeared.
A young man with yellow hair appeared next, squatting slightly, his right hand directly grasping the handle of the kunai, his face was cold, and his whole body exuded a faint murderous intent.
"Sorry, I am late."
