Konoha: Prepare to defect, the system is coming.

Chapter 717 Despair
This underground passage was very long, and Xiaonan walked for a long time but still couldn't reach the end.

Although the passage here was opened up by herself, when Xiaonan saw the unchanging scenery around her, she couldn't help but have the illusion of encountering a "ghost wall".

Xiaonan looked up and muttered as his white and tender palm stroked the detonating tag.

"The war is almost over."

"The war is almost over!"

This thought came to everyone's mind when the ninja coalition noticed that the enemy's offensive was weakening and their numbers were gradually decreasing.

The five major ninja villages paid a heavy price for this war.

Even though the war only lasted two days, the number of ninjas in the five major ninja villages has dropped to a historic low. After the end of this war, it will probably be many years before the five major ninja villages have the strength to launch another Ninja World War.

"We just fought side by side, and the other side even saved my life. If we start fighting over the distribution of benefits after the war..."

Thinking of this, many ninjas looked at each other, then immediately turned their heads away and looked in other directions awkwardly.

boom! !

A dull sound slowly echoed in the air, bringing the surrounding ninjas' wandering thoughts back to reality.

Kakuzu was seen kneeling on one knee, breathing heavily.

The earth-attributed masked monster on his left shoulder revealed a human-like expression of pain, and after a wailing sound, it fell off Kakuzu's shoulder and fell heavily to the ground.

"Is this guy immortal?" The two brothers Hiashi and Hizashi were also breathing in the fresh air in big gulps. Their condition was worse than Kakuzu's.

One of Hiashi's arms was swinging unconsciously at his side and had now become a burden; there was a deep scar on Hiashi's chest that was deep enough to see the bone, extending from his shoulder to his lower abdomen, and blood was constantly oozing out.

"Brother, the coalition forces are about to win, we must not die here!" Hiashi said slowly, and then swallowed hard.

He felt that his body was extremely dehydrated at this moment. Hinata Hizashi knew that this was caused by excessive blood loss. If he did not receive timely treatment, there was a high probability that he would die here.

"The day you become a ninja, you should be prepared to die in battle!" Hiashi looked at his pale brother and said in a deep voice.

His condition was not much better than his brother's. His chakra was almost exhausted, his right arm had completely lost its mobility, and his left arm had cracks on its bones, but he could still move it.
"Although I was prepared for death on the day I became a ninja, I'm still a little scared when the time comes." Hizashi looked at Kakuzu who stood up, and forced himself to cheer up, his voice trembling a little.

"Ningji is still waiting for me to come home for dinner."

Hearing this, Rizu also thought of his own children.

On the day Hinata Hyuga was born, he and his wife held the baby in their arms with happy smiles on their faces.

Hiashi looked deeply in the direction of Konoha, then turned his gaze to Kakuzu who was bursting with chakra, and said proudly, "Hiashi, I have one too, and it's a daughter!"

Swish!
Hinata Hiashi swung his kunai without hesitation and cut off his right arm that was in the way.

Although he quickly pressed acupuncture points to stop the bleeding, the warm blood still splashed onto Hizashi's face.

Seeing this scene, Hizashi was silent for a moment, then took out a shelled egg from his arms and threw it into his mouth. Then he walked to his eldest brother and spoke while chewing.

"Ninja, every meal should be treated as your last. This is my last meal, made by my brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiashi appeared in front of Kakuzu in an instant. The chakra in his body rushed frantically to his palms, and then changed its shape to form two lion heads with purple flames.

"Eight Trigrams: Double Lions Collapse!"

"Old thing, I will beat you to death today." Hinata Hizashi roared with a ferocious face.

"You bastard!" Kakuzu roared, manipulating the tentacles of the Earth Wrath to form a fist and directly hit Hinata Hizashi.

boom!
The collision of fists caused a moment of silence in heaven and earth.

The huge impact force caused both sides to take several steps back. Hinata Hizashi's white pupils were filled with bloodshot. He completely ignored defense, and the purple flames on his fists instantly expanded and slammed into Kakuzu's vitals.

There was a gleam of ferocity in Kakuzu's eyes. He separated his wrist from his arm and released dense black lines from his arm, forming several fists in the air. He also gave up on defense and smashed towards the opponent's vital points.

boom!
boom!
The purple flame hit Kakuzu's chest. At the same time, the fist made of black tentacles hit Hiashi's chest, neck, and face.

With one punch, Hiashi and Kakuzu turned into afterimages and crashed into the ground in the distance.

Seeing this, Hiashi clenched his remaining left fist and said, "Hiashi, he actually used the clan's secret advanced physical technique that I taught him in front of so many people."

"As expected of my brother, he's quite powerful."

Rizu raised his head and looked across, and a lion head with the same purple flames suddenly appeared on his fist.

"Eight Trigrams·Single Lion Collapse Attack!"

Hinata Hizashi spat out a mouthful of blood, then followed his eldest brother and rushed to Kakuzu. Then the three of them disappeared on the spot. Only two purple balls and one black ball were constantly stirring in the air, creating a shock wave from time to time.

boom! !

A fiery red mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and several dark figures broke out from it.

"Pooh!"

Ma Buyi spat a puff of black smoke to the side, then looked at the puddle on the ground and found that her originally dark skin had now turned pitch black, like a big black ghost.

"Nara clan ninjas!" Ma Buyi's eyes flashed red, and he ordered, "Use the 'Shadow Tentacles' to hold the Uchiha in place and throw them into the sky."

"The Uchiha quickly located the enemy's position and used the Shuriken Manipulation Technique to force the enemy together."

"Next, Earth Style Ninja, Fire Style Ninja, Lightning Style Ninja, use your Ninjutsu to smash me!!!"

Ma Buyi almost yelled the last sentence.

Fighting the enemy one-on-one is the stupidest way to fight.

Only by fighting with such a large army can we kill the enemy with the highest efficiency, especially those enemies who only know how to attack and have no coordination at all.

But even so.
The casualties of the Ninja Alliance are still high.

Ma Buyi watched helplessly as many ninjas from the same village that she once knew fell before her. The way those people died was deeply imprinted in Ma Buyi's mind, turning her vision completely red.

"Where's the captain?"

She scanned the battlefield and didn't find Uchiha Asuka, so she couldn't help but ask in annoyance.

A ninja quickly stepped forward and replied, "According to the order from the top, Captain Asuka is to form an emergency battlefield rescue team to save the lives of the seriously injured and dying ninjas as much as possible."

Upon hearing this, Ma Buyi nodded expressionlessly.

The resources consumed in training a ninja are terrifying, and it also takes a very long time to grow.

If the lives of those seriously injured and dying ninjas can be saved, it would be much more cost-effective than training a ninja.

Then, she looked up and looked around, and found that the scale of ninjutsu released on the battlefield had decreased compared to the beginning of the war, but the intensity of the war had not decreased at all, and even intensified.
The ninjas' chakra is running low, so they are forced to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
However, there is good news.

At the very least, they have completely surrounded the enemy, and it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated.

"Orochimaru and Hagura have been removed from the Akatsuki organization. Now there are only Kisame, Kakuzu, the half-black and half-white pitcher plant, and the weirdo wearing a mask."

Ma Buyi observed the situation on the battlefield and said softly, "As long as nothing unexpected happens, the final winner of this battle should be the five major ninja villages. But what about the seven tailed beasts captured by the Akatsuki organization?"

She has been keeping an eye on the battlefield since the beginning of the war.

Even though the situation had already tilted towards the Allied Ninja Forces, the Akatsuki organization did not release the monster formed by the fusion of the seven tailed beasts. Even if they could not perfectly control the tailed beasts, simply releasing it onto the battlefield was enough to inflict a devastating blow to the Allied Forces.

“Is it really as the coalition leaders speculated, that the monster formed by the fusion of the seven tailed beasts cannot move?” Ma Buyi couldn’t help but frown.

Kisame had participated in the mission of sealing the tailed beasts before, and he also reported to the village through intelligence that the tailed beasts were sealed in the body of a giant stone statue.

At that time, the coalition forces also speculated that the huge stone statue "could not participate in the war".
Now it seems that it really cannot be done.
Boom~~
Boom~~
Just as Ma Buyi was thinking, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake, as if there was something underground.

The surrounding ninjas also stopped what they were doing, looked surprised and stared at the ground.

soon.

The ground trembled twice before falling into an eerie calm. Ma Buyi blinked quickly, then chopped a few times with force, muttering, "Am I too nervous and having an illusion?

But so many people have felt it, is it all of us?"

Click!

A crack as big as a foot suddenly appeared at the feet of the woman in linen clothes, interrupting her before she could finish her words.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding ninjas looked at Sackcloth with a little more fear in their eyes.

Good guy.
Just stomping a few times, the ground cracked? ?
Click! Click! Click!

The cracks quickly spread along the feet of the man wearing linen clothes, expanding towards the north and south, forming a huge, bottomless rift that abruptly split the earth in two.

Ma Buyi looked at the dark rift valley, his pupils suddenly shrank, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger. "Hey, hey, why is there such a big rift valley on the ground?"

"Could it be an enemy jutsu? Do they want us to fall into it?"

"You know what? Maybe the Earth-style ninja used too much force."

"By the way, have you noticed that there seems to be someone in the rift?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding ninjas looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a woman wearing a cloud robe, a white paper flower on her head, and blue-purple hair slowly flying out of the rift and arriving above their heads.

"Akatsuki member—Konan?"

When Ma Buyi recognized the other person's identity, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Then, Konan's cold voice came from the sky, "The five great ninja villages are like darkness, covering the ninja world for a full fifty-three years."

Xiaonan stretched out her hand, and countless white papers surrounded her. "In a world without light, no bright flowers will bloom. Even flowers made of paper cannot be colored because the light cannot shine on them."

"Let the fire become the first ray of light in this dark world!"

Under the shocked gazes of the ninjas, the cracked ground instantly turned into countless white papers.

In other words, the place where they just stood was not the real ground, but a fake ground created by white paper.

The big rift on the ground was not really a crack in the ground, but the paper under their feet was split into two parts, east and west.

at this time.

Before everyone recovered from the great shock, countless white papers suddenly floated up and stuck to the bodies of the Allied Ninjas, the Impure World Reincarnation Ninjas and White Zetsu.

"What is this?" A ninja hurriedly tore off the white paper on his body and examined it carefully. His pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip and he screamed in fear, "Detonating Talisman!!"

In the panic, he accidentally kicked the ground and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

This isn't a ground made of white paper at all, it's a ground made entirely of detonating talismans!

Moreover, the number of detonating tags, just by looking at it with the naked eye, is definitely far more than the total amount used by the five major ninja villages in the three Ninja World Wars.

At this moment, all the ninjas panicked.

They ignored the orders from the coalition leaders and had only one thought in their minds.

escape! !

Escape from the explosion range of the detonating talisman!!
"Fuck!"

Asuka, who was carrying the injured, suddenly widened his eyes and cursed, "Hyuga clan, if you are blind, just dig out your eyes. What the hell are these eyes for?"

At this time, Uchiha Saburo, who was lying on the stretcher, also became anxious.

He frantically tore off the detonating tags stuck to his body while cursing, "Damn it, how come the sensory ninja didn't find it? Can't they detect such a large energy fluctuation from the detonating tags?"

"Is this also Akatsuki's plan?"

Kisame looked at this scene with a gloomy and scary expression, "I didn't expect that Akatsuki would actually use a big move and directly place the entire battlefield on the Detonating Talisman. No, the Detonating Talisman is placed on..."

Kisame was also very panicked at this moment, but he was not afraid of being killed by the explosive talisman.

This is such crucial information.
He actually didn't know that the coalition forces certainly didn't know either.
"It's over, I'm really going to become a traitor this time!" Kisame quickly glanced at the panicked Allied Ninjas, trying to find Lord Mizukage among them and try to see if he could make amends.

"Whoo~"

At this time, Xiaonan realized that all the prerequisites were ready and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She raised her arm, pointed it at the ground, and stared at those ninjas who were as tiny as ants. The chakra that had just recovered was instantly consumed at this moment, and she spoke softly.

"The Art of the God's Paper User!"

boom! !

A deafening explosion suddenly sounded, indicating that this fireworks feast composed of detonating talismans had begun! !
Boom boom boom! !

Explosions sounded one after another, and countless ninjas and White Zetsu were all blown away.

Looking at this shocking scene where there was no distinction between friend and foe, Black Zetsu crossed his arms and said expressionlessly to White Zetsu beside him, "Take the rest of the Akatsuki members away from the battlefield, and inform Obito that the plan has begun!"

White Zetsu nodded respectfully, quickly dived into the ground, and took the seriously injured Kakuzu and others away from the battlefield.

"Big brother!"

The moment Kakuzu disappeared, Hizashi struggled to crawl to his eldest brother's side. He looked at Hiashi who was lying in a pool of blood but was obviously still breathing, and he immediately felt relieved.

Boom boom boom! !

Deafening explosions continued to ring in his ears, but the detonating tag on Hiashi's body did not explode.

He knew why.
There are too many to detonate in batches.
Then, he carried the Sun Foot on his shoulder, looked back at the explosion that was getting closer and closer, and then looked at the land in front of him that was not covered by the detonating talisman, and said in fear.

"Brother, do you think I can still make it to the other side?"

Hiashi shook his head, raised his hand with difficulty, and tore off the detonating tag stuck on his brother's back, and said in a hoarse voice.

"Run, Hizashi, run with all your might!"

Upon hearing this, Hiashi tried to walk a few steps with his eldest brother, but found that their movement speed was not as fast as the old man, so he immediately gave up the idea of ​​escaping together.

He looked at his elder brother deeply, as if he wanted to imprint his appearance in his mind.

Then, Hizashi put his eldest brother down, and purple flames appeared on his palm again.

Seeing this, Rizu slowly closed his eyes and said, "No need to kill Big Brother quickly. It shouldn't feel like anything to be killed by the detonating talisman. You can take advantage of this..."

Before he finished speaking, Hiashi suddenly felt a strong sense of weightlessness.

Hiashi suddenly opened his eyes, only to see that Hizashi had lifted him up high and swung him several times in the air. The feeling of weightlessness and dizziness intertwined together made him unable to understand what his brother wanted to do.

Then, Hiashi struck Hiashi's chest with both of his palms, and the powerful force made Hiashi fly rapidly towards the forest.

this moment.
Hiashi understood something.

Hizashi looked at the flying figure, waved at him with a smile, and his figure was soon engulfed in the flames, leaving only Hinata Hiashi's heart-wrenching cry in the air.

“Hiashi!!”

As if he heard that voice, Hizashi closed his eyes contentedly. Until the last moment before his consciousness disappeared, he recalled every moment he spent with his elder brother.

"Why should I protect you?"

"Because you are a separate family."

"Why am I a branch family?"

"Because you were born late."

"Shouldn't the elder brother protect the younger brother?"

"Because you are a separate family."

"Brother, if a younger brother dies to protect his elder brother, then he will die. But can you release Neji from being a bird in a cage? He doesn't have any brothers from the main family."

"Hizashi, what pillow do you use to sleep? You have such a beautiful dream?"

"Oh, brother, then you can protect yourself. I'm scared. I still want to see Neji grow up."

"Whatever. As the clan leader, I will never go out on a mission in my life except for the Ninja World War. And as the clan leader's personal bodyguard, you will never go out in your life."

"Brother, the Fourth Ninja World War has begun, and I'm suddenly a little worried that I won't be able to see Neji."

"Hizashi, just say you're afraid of death."

"I'm just afraid of death, brother, what else do you want from me?"

"Hiashi, if you apologize to me now for no apparent reason, I will forgive you for not protecting the main family on the battlefield."

"Impossible, don't even think about it!!"

"Brother, I'm done here. I'll leave Neji to you."

"I have a loving wife, lovely children and a beloved elder brother. It has been a wonderful journey."
