Nagato carrying rice in Konoha

Chapter 131 Cannon Fodder
If he had just learned Sage Mode and met Sasuke who only had the Mangekyō Sharingan turned on, Naruto would feel that if he and Sasuke fought, both of them would die due to the induction of chakra in each other's bodies.

But now, Sasuke has turned on the Eternal Kaleidoscope.The moment Naruto sensed Sasuke's chakra, he immediately understood that he was no longer a match for Sasuke.

The gap in strength between the two people suddenly widened again for unknown reasons.He didn't know why Sasuke didn't choose to return to the village after killing Itachi, and he didn't know why Sasuke wanted to take revenge on his village.After sensing that Sasuke's chakra was quickly destroying the chakra of Konoha ninjas in the village, the first reaction in his mind was that all this was caused by the red-haired Nagato!Red hair is the root of all evil!The second reaction was to stop Sasuke quickly. He couldn't let Sasuke kill more people.

That's right, everything about Sasuke must be borne by him.Unfortunately, just when he was about to say, "Leave Sasuke to me," a second voice seemed to emerge from deep in his heart, telling him that if he rushed forward now, he would just die in vain. .Sasuke's chakra was extremely cold and he was already in a state of absolute indifference.

Suddenly, Naruto realized that unknowingly, the gap between him and Sasuke seemed to have returned to a few years ago, back to the gap between them in the ninja school.

Sasuke was still the top student whose graduation score ranked first among the candidates in his class, and he was also the low-ranking student who took the exams several times before passing.Unconsciously, the distance between the two people became so far again.

"What can stop him now? What is it, I'm afraid?" Neji frowned and asked unhappily.

Naruto's words were hesitant and unclear, which made Neji very unhappy and angry.

He even reached out and pushed Naruto who was standing in front of him: "Get away! What can you do, a waste like you?"

"No...that's not the case, please listen to my explanation."

Naruto was caught off guard and was pushed to his side, but now he was far stronger than Neji after all, and he regained his balance in an instant.

"explain?"

Unexpectedly, Neji became even more angry, "What explanation do you have? Fairy Tail! If it weren't for a waste like you, how could everything be like this now? It's all your fault..."

Naruto was stunned by Neji's harsh words. He looked at Neji with wide eyes as if he had changed. He had no idea why he treated him like this.

"Shut up, Neji, stop talking..."

Just when there was a hint of conflict between the two people, Shikamaru, who was standing aside, spoke, "I know you did this to Naruto because of Hinata, but it's not all that happened when that happened. Naruto's fault."

"You are the one who should shut up, right? The Nara family dares to interfere in Hinata's family affairs??" Neji was furious, staring at Shikamaru with his eyes turned on.

Shikamaru shook his head, knowing that there was nothing to reason with Neji at this time. He just looked at Naruto with a somewhat complicated look, then glanced at the ninjas around him, and said: "Naruto is right. , I came here specially to tell you some latest information about Sasuke."

"As you all know, my father and the heads of the Yamanaka and Akimichi families have led most of the clan to the Kingdom of Water to participate in the war against the Akatsuki organization."

When Shikamaru said this, most of the ninjas nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Naruto's eyes widened suddenly, shaking his head left and right in disbelief, observing the reactions of the people around him.

"War? What's going on?" His heart was filled with doubts. Just as he was about to speak, Sakura grabbed his left hand from behind.

"I will tell you these things later."

Sakura leaned in and spoke in Naruto's ear.

Naruto looked sideways at the expression on Sakura's face, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.Shikamaru continued: "It is precisely for this reason that I learned some of the latest information related to the war."

"Is it related to Sasuke?"

Inuzuka Kiba, who was riding on the back of the ninja dog, couldn't help but ask.

People from the Nara family are usually very smart, and they are always on the side of the Third Hokage.So even an impulsive ninja like Kiba was willing to stop and listen to his opinions.

"Yes," Shikamaru replied, then raised his voice slightly to make sure everyone could hear him clearly.

"As far as I know, the Kirigakure Village in the Kingdom of Water has been defeated by the Akatsuki organization in just one day, and the most important thing is that Sasuke once used a large-scale Amaterasu on the battlefield, and once trapped Thousands of Kirigakure shinobi.”

Although the real situation is that Amaterasu was jointly released by Sasuke and Obito, but due to the chaotic situation of the battlefield at that time and the speed of Obito's attack, it was difficult to predict the situation.Except for the people from the Akatsuki organization, no one noticed what Obito did.

Since Sasuke is the only one in the Akatsuki organization who can use Amaterasu, then the black flames that blocked the entire battlefield are naturally attributed to Sasuke by intelligence personnel.

"Amaterasu, is that the black flame that won't go out?"

Asked Aburame Shino, who was wrapped in a turtleneck trench coat and wearing a mask.

The fighting methods of their clan of ninjas basically depend on the bugs in their bodies. After hearing such a wide range of Amaterasu flames, they immediately felt a huge threat.

The rest of the people imagined in their minds the scale of Amaterasu that could trap thousands of people on the battlefield, and when they began to think about how many ninjas could be killed on such a scale, their faces became a little ugly.

Sakura and Ino also lowered their heads sadly, weeping inwardly. How could the wind-like beautiful boy back then become such a murderer?All of this must be the fault of the Akatsuki organization!

Seeing that everyone here clearly understood the meaning of his words, Shikamaru nodded to Shino.

"Sasuke has already caused so many casualties even before he uses Amaterasu. According to my analysis, if he uses Amaterasu, the number of casualties in Konoha will rise to more than a few thousand in a short period of time."

To put it bluntly, all the ninjas here combined cannot afford the loss of thousands of people.

Amaterasu is such a ninjutsu. When it is just a small flame and cannot burn other people's fatal parts, this jutsu basically cannot kill anyone.It can be easily resolved by cutting off the burned part or even taking off the burned armor.

However, when this kind of "immortal" flame has a huge range, coupled with its "instantaneous" speed, it is basically a killing god on the battlefield, and most ninjas encounter it. No one can escape death.

This is the most helpless thing. Sometimes you will encounter such enemies in war.Possessing a special kind of ninjutsu that cannot be solved will inevitably cause a certain number of casualties to the opponent.

In this case, someone needs to sacrifice to offset the enemy's chakra and ninjutsu.

This is one of the reasons why cannon fodder ninjas are indispensable on the battlefield, and such cannon fodder should obviously not be played by ninjas like them.
