I want to dedicate the ninja world to the evil god

Chapter 290 Konoha’s Dilemma and Night Attack Team

The sky was gloomy, and the haze of war firmly shrouded Konoha. There was no trace of joy on the faces of pedestrians on the road, and they were full of worries about the future.

There was no way, after the Uchiha rebelled and the Sandaime Hokage died under the attack of the Evil God Cult, Konoha's situation took a turn for the worse.

Although the two-state coalition formed with Sunagakure successfully defeated the Evil God Cult, they were betrayed later and thousands of ninjas were killed in the Kawa Country.

Then they began to face a large-scale attack by the Kingdom of Thunder. I heard that in recent days, the Konoha Legion led by Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, suffered another major defeat at the border.

The continuous blows made the people of Konoha gradually lose confidence in the future, and there were even voices selling land to seek peace.

However, these were all suppressed by the powerful fifth-generation Hokage Shimura Danzo.

Unlike the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo is a resolute iron-blooded warrior. Although he acts unscrupulously, he will not surrender easily.

At this time, he was sitting in the Hokage's office, looking at the paperwork in front of him with a sinister look on his face.

That's right, Danzo has returned from the front lines.

It was another Sannin, Tsunade, who took his place and went to the border of the fire field to confront the Fourth Raikage.

This is one of the few lucky things in Konoha recently.

Under the strong stimulation of performing surgery on Jiraiya, Tsunade finally overcame the hemophobia that had been bothering her. Therefore, her strength was officially restored and she could completely replace Danzo.

What's bothering Danzo now is something else.

Daimyo's financial support dropped!

The explanation on the document is that due to successive years of war, this year's tax revenue has dropped sharply. In addition, a sum of money has just been given due to the previous attack by the Evil God Cult, and the daimyo's family has no surplus food.

Danzo didn't believe a word of this.

It is true that there have been wars for many years, but the Fire Country occupies the best place in the entire shinobi world and is rich in products.

In addition, there are any large-scale natural disasters in the Fire Country this year that are enough to affect the national food production. How can there be no tax revenue? !

This is obviously the daimyo's intention to reduce Konoha's expenses!

But why did the daimyo do this?

This is what Shimura Danzo, the leader of Konoha, should think about.

Once Konoha is defeated, although the daimyo, who is a top noble, will be fine, he will inevitably transfer a large amount of benefits to other countries.

This is completely uneconomical for the Daimyo.

Moreover, Konoha has experienced three ninja wars, and the Daimyos of the Fire Country have always fully supported Konoha. It makes no sense to suddenly want to restrict Konoha now.

unless

The daimyo believed that he could win this war even without relying on Konoha!

A bizarre thought suddenly flashed through Danzo's mind.

But this is impossible.

Almost all ninjutsu and training methods are in the hands of the major ninjutsu villages, and not everyone can practice ninjutsu. Bloodline is a very important indicator for practicing ninjutsu.

Without excellent ninja blood and training resources, it would be difficult for Daming Mansion to produce ninjas with decent combat effectiveness.

Could it be.

Heju?

Danzo thought of another possibility.

But this possibility was immediately denied.

Although Hegu is powerful, at least for now, it is far from enough to compete with the top ninjas.

Furthermore, when Fang Zhu and Arima went to the capital, he personally planted illusions and curse seals on them, and the other party had been passing on information to him.

At present, Hegu's research has made progress, but not much. Wanting to rely on Hegu's troops to win the Ninja World War is tantamount to wishful thinking.

Although, it’s better to send a few of the roots to the capital to see what’s going on.

After Danzo gathered his thoughts and once again explained the necessity and urgency of financial support to the daimyo, he returned his attention to the current war.

To the east, in the direction of Tian Country, Tsunade leads four thousand ninja troops. With various military strongholds, they should be able to block the attack of Thunder Country.

Of course, this is an estimate based on the current situation.

Today, the Kingdom of Thunder has not yet made up its mind to launch a village-killing war against Konoha, and is also considering the reactions of other countries. Therefore, the number of troops invested is only about 5,000, which is not particularly large.

The main reason was to guard against the Iwa Ninja Village, which had not taken any action before. They were afraid that if they all attacked Konoha, they would suffer heavy losses. In the end, the Iwa Ninja stole their home.

After all, the relationship between Kumo ninja and Iwa ninja is not very good. The father of the current Raikage died under the siege of ten thousand Iwa ninja.

To the west, in the direction of Kawa no Kuni, the troops led by Jiraiya were defeated.

After the urgent letter requesting for help arrived, Danzo dispatched a 2,000-strong ninja force to respond, but the situation may still not be good, and at least a certain strategic depth must be provided.

The previous strategy of rejecting enemies from abroad has failed, and the next battle will probably take place within the Land of Fire.

To the northwest, there was finally movement in Iwa Ninja Village.

After conquering the Country of Grass, Iwa Ninja once established a large number of military strongholds in the Country of Rain and the Country of Grass to enhance the speed of logistics transfer and continuously accumulate strength. Last night, he officially launched a tentative attack on the Country of Fire. .

There are currently 5,000 border troops led by Akimichi Choza who are defending there, and there are 2,000 reserve troops.

Danzo was prepared to gather all his strength to give the Earth Country a serious blow if Iwa Ninja Village really dared to launch a massive attack, completely frightening them and eliminating the possibility of a three-front war in the Fire Country.

But that old guy Onoki can survive from the first ninja war to the present, and he is also a human spirit.

He seemed to have seen through Konoha's thoughts and was slow to launch an attack. He just kept sending scout teams and bounty hunters hired from the underground world to harass Konoha.

As a result, Danzo could neither fight nor withdraw his troops.

The border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass.

The forest here is lush and lush. Since war may break out at any time, Akimichi Tingza, the commander, built a large number of secret outposts in this forest.

"That old guy Onoki is so stingy. He only paid five hundred thousand taels to a chuunin."

A dissatisfied complaint suddenly came from the lush forest.

The complaint came from a child hiding in the woods.

The child was covered in a black windbreaker, with a mask hanging on a rope on his chest. He looked so delicate that if he didn't pay attention, he would have thought he was a girl.

If you have the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, you will be able to find that there is a teammate hidden in this child's position about fifteen meters at two o'clock, twenty meters at eleven o'clock, and ten meters at six o'clock. .

At this distance, the only way they could communicate was through the little snails hidden in the collars of their trench coats.

The one performing the mission at this time was none other than the Shenzi team led by Gaara.

Hearing Bai's complaint, the other three remained silent.

After all, money only has special meaning for Shiro who has been in a wandering state before.

Others, whether Sasuke, Kimimaro and Gaara, have no special feelings about money, so naturally they don't care about the amount of the mission reward.

Seeing no one responded, Bai could only curl his lips and fall silent.

Darkness gradually took over the sky, the sun was replaced by the rising moon, clouds drifted past, and the entire forest fell into darkness. Under the cover of black, an eyeball made of sand is watching the Konoha ninja hidden in the woods from above.

They used a big tree as cover and set up their base inside the tree's thick trunk.

At this time, Gaara's voice suddenly sounded from the snail at the collar.

"When the opportunity comes, follow the plan."

The other three sprang into action.

The division of labor between the four of them is quite clear.

Gaara, who has the reconnaissance ability, is at the end, acting as a scout and launching large-scale sand ninjutsu to control the field when necessary.

Kimimaro, who is good at close combat and has excellent defense, acts as an assaulter, using his super physical skills to quickly rush into the enemy's face and finish him off.

Bai used ice escape to provide remote support.

As for Sasuke, he is a multi-functional person. The Fire Release he masters can provide long-range support like Shiro, the Sharingan can be used for reconnaissance and close combat, and the genjutsu can be used for support and control.

The specific role depends on the situation.

Like tonight, his role is mainly reflected in control.

The moment the team started taking action, Gaara had already controlled a large amount of sand to swim along the ground towards the stronghold. With the help of Sasuke's Sharingan, he gradually eliminated the traps set by the enemy near the stronghold.

But the Konoha ninjas in this stronghold are obviously not mediocre.

When they were still twenty meters away from the outpost, they were still discovered by the other party.

But this distance was enough for them to launch an assault.

The first one to take action was Kimimaro, who was in charge of the assault. He used his terrifying taijutsu to instantly arrive in front of the Konoha ninjas who were keeping watch.

The sharp bone blade cut through the satin-like darkness and stabbed the opponent's heart accurately.

Unfortunately, the Konoha ninja who reacted very quickly raised his kunai and barely blocked it. The weapon collided with metal, which attracted the attention of other Konoha ninjas in the outpost.

Just when he breathed a sigh of relief and thought he could get support, a red light lit up from the darkness of the forest.

Scarlet eyes, black magatama.

As a Konoha ninja, he instantly remembered the name of these eyes - Sharingan.

But precisely as Konoha ninjas, they naturally would not have the idea of ​​guarding against Sharingan on the battlefield.

After all, other ninja villages have always been on guard against the Sharingan, so how can you guard against your own people?

So, he was hit.

Sasuke's illusion chakra easily penetrated the other person's spiritual world. In just a moment, the cold kunai had ended the other person's life.

Looking at Kimimaro again, he paid no attention to the guy killed by Sasuke. After being blocked, he decisively pounced on the other two ninjas who emerged from the stronghold.

At this time, Bai's support also arrived.

The cold air, half like a snake, suddenly appeared on the battlefield under the cover of night along the ground.

A Konoha ninja who had just come out of the outpost felt the biting cold as soon as he reached the ground. When he looked down, his entire calf had been completely frozen by the condensed ice.

"Ice Escape·Ice Snake Soul."

Bai's hands maintained the posture of forming a seal, and a proud smile appeared on his delicate face.

Suddenly the leaves swayed, and the air in the woods was pierced by something extremely fast. A bullet made of sand struck from a distance. Under the gaze of the eyeballs suspended above the battlefield, it accurately penetrated the sand man. Shinobu's forehead.

Blood flowers bloomed, and the last remaining Konoha ninja died under Kimimaro's wild dance.

"There is no one else."

Gaara confirmed after using the sand to conduct a search.

In order to prevent anyone from escaping, Shiro, who was hiding in the woods, started to attach to his body. The [Eagle Eye] modified from the Shiro-Eye gene inspected the battlefield and nodded slightly after making sure that nothing was missing.

Just like that, in less than five minutes, a Konoha scout team composed of three chuunin quietly disappeared from the front line.

And this kind of thing has happened countless times on the front line in the past two months.

This forest is like a monster hiding in the night, opening its abyss-like mouth to devour enemies who dare to break into it!

After searching the supplies and information in the outpost, Sasuke and others maintained their formation and officially returned.

One day later, four people wearing masks appeared together in an underground gold exchange near the Iwa Ninja camp.

This gold exchange is located in a deserted town. The entrance is behind the wall of a tavern toilet, making it difficult for ordinary people to find it.

"Shiro and I will stay on guard outside while Kimimaro and Sasuke go in to complete the mission registration."

Although generally speaking, no one will attack within the scope of the gold exchange, because that means going against the entire underground world, and you will be subject to crazy revenge until you disappear from the world.

But for the sake of safety, Gaara still made careful arrangements.

Kimimaro and Sasuke are both good at close combat, and it's perfect for them to enter the narrow gold exchange.

If something unexpected happens, he can also provide large-scale support to them with his sand ninjutsu.

Everyone expressed no objection to this arrangement.

Soon, Kimimaro took the lead and Sasuke followed, and the two walked into the money exchange together.

At this time, the money exchange was very lively. Due to the many bounty tasks issued by the Iwa Ninja, bounty hunters from all over the Ninja world were active here.

But when they saw these two masked children, the bustling money exchange suddenly became quiet for a moment.

"It's the night attack team"

Someone recognized Kimimaro and Sasuke's identities. The most important thing was that the white masks were really impressive.

"I heard that their mission completion rate is still 100%!"

"Yes, yes, they have destroyed more than a dozen Konoha outposts recently! They killed countless Konoha ninjas."

"I heard that Konoha is preparing to send people to deal with them."

The noisy sounds in the money exchange made Sasuke frown.

Kimimaro was unmoved, and went directly to the counter where the task was submitted, and said calmly: "Settlement of the task."

Kimimaro then placed the proof of this mission in front of the scarred middle-aged man in charge of their business.
