Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 366: Heaven sent blood! The country is coming!

At the moment when two fierce and wild figures were fighting fiercely,
the other side,
After the Kumogakure and Abby duo left the castle tower to fight the enemy, Jiraiya deliberately created a noise to escape and sneaked into the intelligence team built inside the rock pillar and the castle tower to investigate intelligence.

Another person took this opportunity to quietly leave the delegation.

at this time,

At the ruins of the fifty-meter city wall,

A young man wearing a Iwagakure forehead protector and a purple monk's robe emerged from beneath the ground.
He looked at the two figures that shot out at that moment, continuously colliding, crushing the earth into powder, and fighting further and further away.
Finally I breathed a sigh of relief.

"call"

There was a look of deep fear on his face, even after the two terrifying figures flew thousands of meters away, Lao Zi was still frightened. He touched his numb back and found that his entire back was soaked with cold sweat without him knowing when.

"Those two guys are monsters! They are monsters!"

"Especially that brat!"

"If he had used this kind of power last time, I would never have been able to play dead and escape with my life right under his nose!"

If he had not made a deal with Iwagakure and Sunagakure before coming here, and he had not obtained a poison that could cause a person to fake death from Chiyo, otherwise, with the Sharingan and Uchiha Ci's extremely strong perception ability, he would never have been able to hide here safely.

(In the original work, Chiyo is very good at pretending to be dead. In order to show this, the TV series had her pretend to be dead during the Fourth Ninja World War to deceive Kankuro. According to Chiyo herself, this is an old woman's bad taste.)
"but."

Lao Zi's eyes moved, and fell on a pile of rubble that had been broken apart from the ground.
There,

This was the place where Uchiha Ci had just used Susanoo to violently swing his giant sword and smashed the Third Raikage's forehead, hammering it straight into the ground like a nail.

This violent blunt attack, with its force penetrating the strongest Lightning Release Armor, caused the Third Raikage to bleed from all seven orifices on the spot, suffering damage that was almost like a critical hit.

It was also inevitable that the opponent's blood would be spilled on the spot.

Lao Zi stared at the pool of blood on the pile of stones and took two steps forward.

He took out a test tube that had been prepared long ago from his arms,
He sealed the blood that had not yet dried up, and even dug out the blood-stained soil around it, and then sealed both of them into a scroll.

"It's worth it that I tried so hard to lurk so close and paid such a high price!"

Looking at the scroll in his hand, a deep hatred flashed in Lao Zi's eyes, and a crazy smile appeared on his face.

"The final fruit is——"

“This country will be destroyed!”

#
the other side,
On top of the castle tower,
"What can be confirmed is that Iwagakure, under the leadership of the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, has hidden an army of 10,000 people within the borders of the Land of Lightning."

"Moreover, they are going to launch a war against the chaotic Kumogakure that will determine the fate of the nation!"

"With one battle, we will completely sweep the Land of Lightning off the table of the ninja world!"

"For this reason, they sent a large number of ninjas to Yunming City in the name of the daimyo to provide assistance. This was definitely not just to help Yunyin eliminate Uchiha Ci and the Akatsuki organization you founded."

"Their arrangement here must have other intentions!"

Integrate existing intelligence,

Jiraiya looked solemnly at the 100,000-meter-long large rock river that had formed a new moat under the castle tower, and analyzed the situation to Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan beside him.

Nagato then took up the conversation and spoke urgently,

"Not only that,"

"There is another important piece of information found in the brain of the dead man in the east—"

"Besides the dead man in the east, there is another person who received an important mission from the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki!"

"That man is the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, Old Purple!"

"We are not sure what the other party wants to do now, but as an important weapon, Jinchūriki cannot be placed in the enemy's camp at will at this juncture when the war is about to begin."

"He may be the key to the whole incident!"

"If we find him, we can figure out the whole context of Iwagakure's actions and know what they want to do, and..." Nagato took a deep breath, clenched his hands, and looked at Yahiko and the other two heavily.

"Knowing what's next—"

"How can we stop this war?"

Hearing the usually taciturn Nagato suddenly speak so much in one breath,
Yahiko, Konan, and Jiraiya, who knew Nagato's character well, were suddenly surprised and looked at each other.
Yahiko nodded immediately and said solemnly:

"Yes, this is what we are going to do, and this is also the meaning of establishing Akatsuki—"

"Stop the war!"

On the side, watching this scene, Jiraiya couldn't help but look at the three people with satisfaction. In a trance, the figures of the three people seemed to overlap with the figures of the protagonists in the book "Strong and Perseverant Ninja Biography" he wrote, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and rub Yahiko and Nagato's heads vigorously.

"You three have really grown up."

Yahiko blushed slightly, pushed Jiraiya's hand away, and continued to analyze solemnly:

"If Jinchūriki is used to attack a stronghold,"

"Then why did Iwagakure send the Four-Tails instead of the Five-Tails which has more tails and is stronger and more targeted at the Third Raikage?"

"The analysis of Jiraiya-sensei and Nagato is quite correct,"

"The Iwagakure's deployment is not random, but combined with their shaping of the terrain and the placement of the Four-Tails Jinchūriki."

"I guess their destination should be——"

Yahiko stood on the 600-meter-high castle tower, overlooking the vast battlefield below, and raised his hand to point at the huge ravine formed by the 100,000-meter-long Dayan River.

"There!"

"so--"

Just as Yahiko was about to assign tasks to Nagato and Konan,
suddenly,

Something unexpected happened!

On the road ahead of the four people, in the intelligence squad built inside the castle tower.

“——Swoosh!”

A piercing bolt of lightning pierced through the mountain, flew into the sky, and rolled up a scroll and flew into the sky!
"That's the Heaven's Sending Technique!" Xiaonan exclaimed as he looked at the straight beam of light.

And the next moment,
"--boom!!"

In the direction of the castle tower, a terrifying giant beast that was seventy meters tall rose from the ground!

Its appearance resembles a red gorilla, with black and yellow protrusions on its four terrifying tails!
With a sweep of his hand, the eaves collapsed instantly!

In an instant,
The perfect tailed beast has arrived.

With just one kick, he crushed the castle tower that the Hidden Cloud Village had spent a huge amount of money to rebuild!

then,

It suddenly turned its head and looked towards the 100,000-meter-long Dayan River outside the inner city!
With a slam of his feet on the ground, a pair of monkey arms rose high into the air, and in a completely tailed beast form, he climbed up from the 600-meter-high castle tower and leaped towards there!

"really!"

Looking at this scene, Yahiko completely confirmed what he was thinking, and then stared at that place and shouted in shock:

"He's going to stir up the underground molten lava!"

"Fill up the huge ravine created by the 100,000-meter-long Dayan River, forming a Jedi that ordinary ninjas cannot cross, and trap and kill the 8,000-strong Kumogakure army here!"

Yahiko's eyes widened, his body trembling slightly as he predicted:
"Iwagakure."

"It's time to launch a general attack!"
