Konoha: Prepare to defect, the system is coming.

Chapter 718: Despair Strikes Again
No one can accurately say how many detonating tags Konan used in this decisive battle, even the instigator cannot give an exact number.

All the coalition leaders knew was that the explosion lasted for a full five minutes.

The fiery red light of the explosion illuminated the entire sky red, giving people the illusion of attending a fireworks show in the afternoon.

The battlefield where the two sides fought the decisive battle was originally a flat land, but after the explosion, the flat land instantly turned into a basin.

At the very center of the explosion, an underground river slowly gushed out, quickly filling the basin and forming a small lake.

at this time.

The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.

The former Raikage Building is now the headquarters of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

The water ball in the center of the conference room completely calmed down after shaking violently for a while.

The entire conference room fell into silence. No one dared to make the slightest sound, and even their breathing became cautious.

Just five minutes ago.

The ninja who was in charge of controlling the water ball and exploring the front line shouted in fear, "Hundreds of billions of detonating tags, the coalition is finished", and the water ball immediately began to shake violently.

Now the water ball is no longer shaking, which means that the detonating talismans have exploded.

"Gulu!"

A ninja from the Iwagakure think tank swallowed subconsciously and said with a forced smile, "You must be kidding me, what's going on at the front line? How could anyone really come up with 'hundreds of billions' of detonating tags?"

"Yeah, there are so many sensory ninjas in the coalition, how could they not sense the detonating tag, not to mention the terrifying number of 'hundreds of billions'?" Another ninja also said in disbelief.

"Have you forgotten the Second Tsuchikage? His ninjutsu can escape our perception." A ninja who still had some rationality analyzed.

After hearing this, some ninjas still thought that this was simply a fantasy and immediately questioned the authenticity of the information. "There have been three Ninja World Wars. Do our five major ninja villages have hundreds of billions of detonating tags deployed on the battlefield? Do we have hundreds of billions?

"All the wealth of a Genin can only buy two Exploding Talismans. Such a precious thing, you told me that someone uses hundreds of billions of them at once?"

As the argument became more and more intense, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense and chaotic.

As the general of the coalition forces, the Fourth Raikage, who was always known for his hot temper, did not stop these people's thoughts at all. Instead, he sat quietly in the chair, looking at them calmly.

Although this sounds unreal, the enemy is the Akatsuki organization, which captured the seven tailed beasts on its own and launched the Fourth Ninja World War.

If those people took out hundreds of billions of detonating talismans, it would not be something difficult to accept if you think about it carefully.

After experiencing all kinds of things beyond imagination, his psychological endurance is now very strong!
Even if the Akatsuki organization resurrected the Six Paths Sage
The Fourth Raikage doesn't think he can accept this!

When he heard about the hundreds of billions of detonating tags, Raikage Ai was so shocked that he was speechless. He was silent for five minutes until he heard an urgent voice in his ears, which brought his thoughts back to reality.

"Lord Raikage, there's news from the battlefield. The coalition forces are suffering losses. Losses. Losses." The ninja half-knelt on the ground and said in a hoarse voice, "There are about 13000 more."

Hearing this, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

They originally estimated that the explosion might kill about 3 people, but they didn't expect it would only kill 13000 people. This number was still within their acceptable range.

"You mean, the coalition forces of the five major ninja villages still have 13000 people?" Nara Shikaku suddenly asked.

Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, and their eyes fell on the ninja. They found that the other party nodded slightly after a moment of silence.

"Sigh~"

There was a sudden sound of people gasping in the conference room, and their eyes were filled with confusion about the future.

Before departure, there were more than 8 ninjas and samurai from the five major countries + the Iron Kingdom who participated in the war. In just two days, only 13000 people were left?
"Whoo~"

Raikage Ai took a deep breath and looked towards the chaotic meeting room. His deep voice seemed to have magical power, instantly calming everyone's emotions.

"Leave the rest to me. The command here is up to you. Shikaku of Konoha!!"

"Are we going to join the battle?" Tsunade looked over and asked.

Raikage Ai nodded, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and said, "Before the explosion, the ground formed by hundreds of billions of detonating talismans suddenly cracked into a bottomless chasm.

I cannot imagine the intensity of the "feeling of despair" my men must have experienced when they were faced with that chasm and surrounded by countless Detonating Talismans."

He slowly clenched his fists. "I don't want to let my men face despair alone in the next battle. Even if the war fails, I will die on the road to protecting them like my father did."

"I am coming too!!"

Tsunade slowly stood up and said to Nara Shikaku, "I'll leave the matter here to you. There are still many seriously injured ninjas waiting for me on the battlefield. Asuka alone can't treat so many people."

"Prepare for the Heaven's Sending Technique!"

"Lord Raikage, that's mainly used to transport items!"

"No need to say more, this is the fastest way to reach the battlefield!"

"."

In the Land of Thunder, inside the daimyo’s mansion.

After reading the intelligence that had just been delivered, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa slowly stood up and said to the daimyo present, "My lords, I'm sorry, but I have to go to the battlefield to join the battle."

"Is the situation so serious?" asked the Daimyoji of the Land of Lightning in a deep voice.

"Of the 8 combat ninjas, only 13000 are still able to fight." Luo Sha said truthfully without any intention of concealing anything.

"What about our safety?" The Daimyo of the Frost Country stood up and asked, "You ninjas have all gone to the front lines to fight. What if the enemy attacks us at this time?"

Luo Sha stared at the other person closely. His calm yet sharp eyes made the Daimyo of the Frost Country involuntarily take a step back.

once
For the benefit of Sand Village, he bowed to the daimyo, humbled himself, and begged.
later
He gradually became a mature politician who was smooth in dealing with things and put interests first. As long as the benefits to the village were great enough, there was nothing he would not sell, even himself.

It is obvious that when Luo Sha was a child, he hated adults who only cared about profit.

There are many things more important than profit.
"Rosa, stay. After the war, you will receive a large sum of money, enough for the Sand Village to train many ninjas and make up for the losses in the war." The Daimyo of the Wind Country said at this time.

"Whether you are on the battlefield or not will not affect the overall situation, but if we don't have a Kage-level ninja here, we are likely to be attacked by the enemy."

"I'm sorry, Lord Daimyo!"

Luo Sha shook his head slightly, and a smile suddenly broke out on his calm face, "I may be the weakest among the five major ninja villages. The coalition may have no impact on the overall situation with or without me.

The war should be won if it is won, and lost if it is lost.”

"But the Sand Village is different!" Luo Sha turned around, walked towards the door, and said, "I am the spiritual pillar of the Sand Village, and I am the Kazekage elected by all ninjas.

They trusted that I could protect them, so they elected me as the Kazekage.

I can’t imagine how disappointed they would be if they didn’t see me before they died.”

Seeing Luo Sha's current appearance, the Daimyo of the Wind Country panicked. He was about to say something when he saw Luo Sha suddenly stop and turn to look here.

"Benefits are important, really important. If it were in the past, you could give me so much money, I would be so happy that I couldn't sleep!" Luo Sha said seriously.

"Since you know how important it is, why are you still giving up on us?" asked the Daimyo of the Wind Country.

"After I finished reading the intelligence just now, I suddenly realized that some things are more important than interests." He stared at the Daimyo of the Wind Country for a while and replied.

"What is it?" The Daimyoji of Wind Country asked puzzled.

"It's my duty to the village, my family, the ninjas, and the Kazekage!" Rasa looked up at the battlefield, the chakra in his body instantly rushed to his feet, and his voice became louder and louder.

"My current identity is the Fourth Kazekage of the Sand Village - Rasa!!"

At the same time, on the battlefield of the decisive battle.

As time passed, the smoke and dust caused by the explosion of nearly 100 billion detonating talismans gradually dissipated.

Ma Buyi opened his eyes, looked at the setting sun, and murmured to himself, "Is there a sun in the afterlife? It seems like it should be three o'clock in the afternoon now, right?"

"What are you mumbling about?"

Fei Niao spat a mouthful of blood foam on the ground, then wiped the blood off his cheek.

Due to his excessive use of the Mangekyō Sharingan, his eyes were overloaded and his vision had declined a lot compared to the beginning of the war.

"Asuka, you're dead too!"

Ma Buyi glanced at him, then looked up at the blue sky again and continued, "Although I have been prepared for death for a long time, it is still a bit hard to bear when this day finally comes."

Asuka rolled his eyes, feeling annoyed.

"Idiot, you're still alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in linen clothes rolled over and got up from the ground.

She first felt her whole body and found that there were no major scars, only some burnt skin. She breathed a sigh of relief and then tried hard to recall what had just happened.

"I just remember that I had just torn off the detonating talisman stuck to my body, and then there was an explosion." Ma Buyi bit his finger and whispered, "It seemed like a big hand pulled me out of the explosion at that time."

At this point, she suddenly looked up at Uchiha Asuka and asked in surprise, "You saved me?"

Asuka nodded slightly and quickly scanned the battlefield.

The explosion just now didn't distinguish between friend and foe. Not only did Konan blow up the ninjas from the five major countries, he even blew up the Impure World Reincarnation ninjas and White Zetsu.

"I'm actually saved by you. I'm a little touched!"

Ma Buyi suddenly gave Fei Niao a thumbs up and said with emotion, "What you said about the Four Warriors protecting me turned out to be true. I always thought you were just talking nonsense."

Then she also looked towards the battlefield, and the joy of surviving the disaster on her face disappeared in an instant.

"This, this. This." Ma Buyi widened his eyes and stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

The moment the massive detonating talismans appeared, she knew that the coalition forces would suffer heavy losses this time. But after seeing this scene, Ma Buyi couldn't help but clench her fists and her body began to tremble.

The original battlefield has turned into a lake that stretches as far as the eye can see, and they are now at the edge of the lake.

There were injured ninjas lying all around.

Those with less severe injuries were treating their wounds on their own; those with more severe injuries had already fallen into coma.

Ma Buyi took a quick look and found that almost everyone in the coalition army was injured.

"How much was lost?" Ma Buyi asked softly.

"I don't know the exact number, but there are still about 13000 people alive." Asuka replied expressionlessly.

"The enemy hasn't launched the attack yet?" Ma Buyi looked across the lake and his brows instantly frowned.

Logically speaking, in the current situation of the Ninja Alliance, the enemy could basically defeat the Alliance instantly as long as they attacked, but until she woke up from her coma, there was no sign of the enemy.

You can't.
Did the enemy blow himself to death as well?
"I don't know what the enemy is waiting for!" Asuka shook his head, and then commanded the medical ninjas to quickly transfer the injured ninjas out of the battlefield to avoid being affected again.

Upon hearing this, Ma Buyi nodded heavily.

Then, she subconsciously looked at the crowd, as if she had seen something incredible, and said in shock, "You Uchiha are really powerful. You are so far ahead, but there are still so many of you who can fight!"

She saw it with her own eyes. The Uchiha group hardly used any long-range attack methods. Instead, they engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy and were located close to the center of the battlefield.

But now.
At a glance, Ma Buyi could actually see dozens of Uchiha wearing red armor in the coalition forces, which was a bit scary.

"Shisui and the Great Elder activated their Mangekyō Sharingan at the same time and saved most of the clan members!" Asuka explained, looking over the crowd at the Great Elder lying on the ground.

Although it was just a quick glimpse at the time, Fei Niao still saw the Great Elder's Kaleidoscope Eye Technique.

Space-time Ninjutsu!!

Very strong! !
Especially when pushing with all your strength!
But when Fei Niao looked at those tribesmen, there was no joy of surviving the disaster on their faces, but instead they were full of sadness.

Then, Asuka withdrew his gaze, looked across the lake, and whispered, "Where the leaves dance, the fire will continue to burn. The flames will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout!"

When Ma Buyi saw Fei Niao's expression, she was stunned for a moment, and then she seemed to understand something, and she fell silent in an instant.

next second.

The voice of the Allied Forces Headquarters rang out in the minds of Ma Buyi, Asuka, and Mei Terumi at the same time.

"An extremely terrifying chakra appears in front of you!"

Suddenly, everyone looked up and forward.

After a while, a figure emerged on the endless lake. He walked slowly on the water and finally stopped in the middle of the lake.

This person has orange-yellow hair and wears the Akatsuki organization's auspicious cloud robe. There are short black sticks embedded in his nose and ears. What is particularly eye-catching is that his pupils are different from those of ordinary people, appearing as purple circles.

"Who is this person? Is he a new member of Akatsuki?"

"Where are the other Akatsuki members? Why is he the only one here?"

"That explosion just now wouldn't have killed the Akatsuki members as well."

"He is the only one who wants to deal with 10,000 of us. Isn't that a bit arrogant?"

"Hey, hey, why is that person flying?"

A ninja opened his eyes wide, pointed at the young man who was slowly rising into the sky, and said in surprise, "Could it be possible that this man also knows the flying ninjutsu of the Hidden Rock Village?"

next second.

The originally noisy shore was instantly suppressed by a sound coming from the sky.

"Whether it was the First, Second, or Third Ninja World War, the ninjas from the five great nations always entered the war with a naive fantasy that only they could beat others, and others could not beat them."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the young man who had just floated into the air had slowly raised his hands. His back was facing the sun, so it was impossible to see the expression on his face.

But a huge feeling of oppression came from the air, like a huge rock, pressing heavily on everyone's hearts.

The young man looked down at the ninjas gathered on the shore, his voice devoid of any human emotion.

“Feel the pain!”

“Think about the pain!”

“Accept the pain!”

“Understand the pain!”

"From now on, let the world feel the pain."

At this moment, the entire air seemed to be vibrating.

boom!
As the young man raised his hands above his head, a huge tremor shook the entire sky and earth.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"
