Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 320 Disintegration

Terumi Mei was panting heavily, with no blood on her face, she half-kneeled on the ground, quickly took out a piece of clean gauze from the ninja bag with both hands, and bandaged the wound of Mist Ninja lying on the ground.

The originally busy pier was already empty, and the cargo ship that had been docked by the pier had turned into wreckage at this time. The cargo and wooden boards were floating on the sea surface, and occasionally some innocent civilian corpses could be seen floating in it. .

The tragic situation after the ninja war is clearly visible at this time, but Terumi Mei is not in the mood to take care of it for the time being, and the communication with the local lord is not what she cares about now.

The dark red blood continuously flowing out of Kirinin's body has formed a pool of blood under her body. Terumi Ming ignored it, and ignored the blood staining her clothes, and only focused on Kirinin's body.

Kisame's sudden attack was beyond Terumi Mei's expectations. Although she wanted to get Kirito back to "Same Muscle", she didn't mean that she wanted to fight the opponent without any preparations.

If there was a plan before the battle with Kisame Kisame, Terumi Mei's post-war situation would not be so miserable.

A kirigin was already dead, and the kirigin under Terumi Mei was also seriously injured, bleeding profusely. On the contrary, Terumi Mei himself was in the best condition. Although his chakra was a bit severely consumed, he did not suffer any injuries.

In order to protect Shui Ying, the two guards almost risked their lives. The only good news is that their efforts were rewarded.

At Terumimei's feet was a weird knife, shaped like a living thing, with a wide blade covered with barbs, and a pair of big mouths at the top. It was one of the seven ninja knives lost in Kirigakure The "shark muscle".

And the corpse of Kisame Kisame, the former owner of "Same Muscle", lay ten meters away from Terumi Mei.

Dried persimmon ghost naked on the upper body, his pale blue skin is very conspicuous, but his face is already unrecognizable, it seems to have been splashed with a strong corrosive liquid, and his white bones have been corroded by the liquid When exposed to the air, the bursts of smell make people want to vomit.

After a while, Terumi Mei finally bandaged the kirigin under him, but the kirigin who lost too much blood has fallen into a coma. Although he saved his life, he lost the ability to move in a short time, and still needs Terumi Mei's help just work.

Terumi Mei, who slowly stood up straight, wiped the fragrant sweat secreted from his forehead, and when his eyes fell on the dead body of Kisame Kisame, he still gritted his teeth in annoyance.

Compared with Meiming and Wuyin Village, it is a happy thing to get back the "beheading sword" and "flat eye flounder", and get the support of recovering "shark muscle" in the five shadow talks, but it is a pity that in the blink of an eye During this time, the two Jōnin who accompanied Terumi Mei to the meeting died and the other was injured. This feeling made her feel a little embarrassed.

Terumi Mei can almost imagine the reactions of the ninjas and villagers in the village when she returned to the village with this kind of news. Even if she just brought back two good news, compared with them, the return and influence will be greatly reduced .

Even so, Terumi Mei couldn't delay any longer, even if she thought of the possible negative impact in the village, she had to set off immediately to return to the country of water.

Like Terumi Mei, Gokage was still on his way back to the village, or had just returned to the village, so he couldn't get help in time even if he asked for help, and it would take time for the reinforcements to arrive.

She has already experienced the power of "Akatsuki". Even if she has become Mizukage, Terumimei is still worried about her own safety in this environment. In recent years, the Kirigakure Village under her leadership has gradually resumed its former status. To exert influence, if Mizukage, who is the head of Ninja Village, is killed now, it may be difficult for Wuyin Village, whose economy and internal affairs are not yet stable, to seize the opportunity of re-dividing Tailed Beast.

Instead of waiting for others to save her, Terumimei trusted herself and the power of Kirigakure Village more. Now she just wants to find a boat and return to Kirigakure Village immediately, and work out all the tasks of the Ninja United Army with Konoha, Sand Yin and Yanyin.

"Fortunately, there are 'same muscles'." Terumi Mei looked down at the ninja sword "same muscles" at his feet, and finally showed a forced smile.

…………

There is a busy scene everywhere in Muye Village.

The reconstruction work in the Zhanchuang area is progressing rapidly. The construction site is in full swing. Various building materials are continuously being sent to the construction site. The two batches of craftsmen from Tanokuni and Namokuni seem to be speeding up. The speed of construction.

On the other hand, Konoha's ninjas are also preparing for the Ninja United Army. It is a busy scene for a while, and all departments are working quickly. No matter how busy the ninjas are, they will take time to maintain and check one by one. Ninja tools - this is related to one's own life, no one will be careless.

The village has already started hoarding food, not only that, but also began to buy a lot from the outside world under the auspices of Shikamaru.

Originally, the food reserves in the village were definitely enough for Ninja Village to cope with this war, but outside of the battlefield, Shikamaru also needed to consider the follow-up reactions caused by the war.The increase in food prices is almost a certainty. This is not the world Shikamaru lived in in his previous life. He does not have much hope for the political control of countries such as the Fire Nation.

He had already given orders to Xianglin and others who were far away in Tian Zhiguo. Tian Zhiguo has been buying and hoarding grain recently, and the surrounding countries have already seen grain prices rise, but Shikamaru doesn't care about it.

"So, the headquarters will be set up in Yanyin Village?" Nara Shikahisa asked aloud.

The interior of the Hokage Building, which was rebuilt by Shikamaru alone, has basically been decorated and repaired. At this time, the leaders of various departments gathered in a large conference room that had just been renovated, and listened to Shikamaru explain the Gokage talks. He and I Aira, Ohnoki, Terumi Mei and others have completed the terms of discussion.

As the leader of the Ninja United Army this time, Shikamaru is actually the most suitable place for the headquarters in Konoha Village, but Konoha is still under reconstruction, so it is not a suitable choice.

In addition, Kirigakure Village is located on an island, and the transportation is inconvenient. Shikamaru and others didn't think too much about it, including Terumi Mei.

As for the remaining two ninja villages, the environment of Sand Hidden Village is too bad. Even Yan Hidden Village is not a fairyland on earth, but compared to the desert full of wind and sand, it is much better.

"Yes," Shikamaru crossed his hands on the table, pressed a document, and replied in a deep voice: "So we must do a good job in the distribution of personnel, whether it is combat or the ninjas left behind, we must not be sloppy at all. "

There is no need for Shikamaru to explain too much. The leaders of all departments present here silently nodded in agreement. They are all experienced jounin or special jounin, so they naturally understand what Shikamaru means.If the coordination is not good, the ninjas sent to fight are not strong enough, not to mention being looked down upon by other ninja villages, and mistakes may also occur in the face of strong enemies.

In this world where individual strength can sometimes even be stronger than collective strength, even if the Konoha ninjas at this time do not know that Uchiha Obito has the means to create Shiwanbaijue, they will not underestimate this village of Yukonin A mercenary organization composed of high-level rebels.

A large number of people does not necessarily mean victory. If Konoha Village, who is the leader of the joint army, performs poorly on the battlefield, both Nara Shikamaru as Hokage and the ninjas in Konoha Village will feel ashamed.

On the other hand, if Konoha underestimates the role of the left-behind ninjas because of this, and is attacked by the enemy, Konoha ninjas will also regret it at that time, and the coordination of the two troops is the most important thing.

Shikamaru asked Nara Shikahisa to lead the ninjas who stayed in Konoha Village. As Hokage, he had to go to Iwahid Village. In this case, the choice of left-behind personnel is the most important thing, whether it is in terms of ability or close relationship. , no one is more suitable for this candidate than Shikahisa Nara.

"I hope that the captains of all departments can prepare for a long war. The duration of the war is likely to be in 'years', and the stockpiling of materials should also be based on this." Shikamaru suddenly said in the middle of the meeting Throwing out this remark caused a lot of discussion among the Konoha ninjas present.

As soon as Kato Shizune left, the position of director of the medical department was taken over by Chiba Gen, who was in Shikamaru's position at this time, and after hearing these remarks, he was born and asked: "Is it because you are worried that the enemy will not fight us head-on? "

The strength of the rebel ninja in the "Xiao" organization is not low. If they flee with all their heart, even if the four major ninja villages join forces, it will not be easy to wipe them out. Ping Onoki and others will not feel at ease.

"Although there are reasons for this, it's not just that." Shikamaru shook his head lightly and said.

There is a huge Ninja World map behind him, covering almost the entire wall. At this time, after answering Genuine Chiba's question, he pointed to the map behind him without making a seal, and saw A pitch-black, substantial chakra emerged from between his fingers.

Shikamaru used Chakra as a pointer, pointed to the Land of Thunder on the ninja map behind him, and drew a circle on it, and then explained: "Yunyin Village, like us, originally wanted to obtain the leadership of the coalition army. , but they lost to us, so this time, they did not join our ninja joint army." < and Mitomon Yan, two elder advisors who were second only to Hokage, were present, and they must have heard Shikamaru's words I want to express some opinions, secretly belittling or attacking Shikamaru's prestige, but now no one in the conference room speaks out, interrupting Shikamaru's words: "Fourth Raikage claims to rely on Yunyin Village's own power to capture the tailed beast, so We are not sure of their intentions, but the possibility of provocation or even war with us is not small."

"I don't care what Thunder Country and Yunyin Village think, what I want is...," Shikamaru made a point on the map where Thunder Country is located, and then drew a cross: "After the war, use the four villages to unite The opportunity to disintegrate the Kingdom of Thunder and destroy Yunyin Village!"

As soon as Shikamaru finished speaking, the meeting room was suddenly quiet, but then someone spoke hastily and expressed their opinions.

"Is such a decision a bit hasty? Naruto-sama, will the other ninja villages agree to continue the war after eliminating 'Akatsuki'?" Morino Ibiki asked with a frown, his face covered with scars His face looks very oppressive when he is serious. This kind of aura will not only work when interrogating prisoners, but also make people pay more attention to his opinions in meetings.

"The current situation is actually very simple," Shikamaru said one by one, raising his fingers: "Whether Yunyin Village caused us trouble when the United Army fought against 'Xiao', or revealed its war intention after the war, or even There has been no aggression or provocation from beginning to end... none of this matters to us."

"Since the Fourth Raikage refused to join the Ninja United Army, the fate of the Land of Thunder and Hidden Cloud Village has been doomed." Shikamaru retracted the chakra condensed on his fingers, and said: "The news just came this morning that the fifth generation On the way back to the village after the meeting with Five Kages, Mizukage was attacked by Akatsuki, although Mizukage did not have any accidents, but now Wuying Village and Mizukage have begun to urge the villages to speed up the pace of forming a joint army."

"'Akatsuki' has become a confidant of the five major ninja villages. If Yunyin Village makes trouble when the Ninja United Army is fighting with 'Akatsuki', we don't need to say too much, and Iwakakushi, Sandgakure, and Kirigakure will not let go." If you pass it, Yunyin Village will be directly involved in the war between the United Army and Xiao." Shikamaru pursed his lips and said, "If Yunyin Village didn't do this, it doesn't make much sense, thanks to their continuous efforts in recent years. When it comes to the military strength of the village, Yunyin Village has a faint momentum to surpass Konoha, and because they stay out of the battle between the Ninja United Army and 'Akatsuki', their strength will be preserved better than the Union Army."

"In contrast, even if the Allied Forces finally regained the Tailed Beast from 'Akatsuki', the cultivation of Jinchuriki will not be able to form enough combat power overnight. In terms of military strength, except for Konoha Village, there is no Ninja Village that can I have contended with Hidden Cloud Village alone." Shikamaru continued: "Hidden Cloud Village will become a new threat, and I will persuade Tukage, Mizukage, and Kazekage to agree to take down Hidden Cloud Village and win time for myself to develop. "

"However, geographically speaking, after the land of thunder is destroyed, it will be difficult for the other three villages to obtain many war benefits including territory, but the land of fire..." Morinoi Hibiki's frown did not show any sign of relief. Still questioning.

The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Thunder are separated by the Kingdom of Fire, the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Thunder are also separated by several small countries, and the distance between the Kingdom of Water and the Kingdom of Thunder is even further.

If the Kingdom of Thunder is destroyed, it seems that the Kingdom of Fire will benefit more. Mori Hibiki does not believe that the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Earth, and the Kingdom of Water cannot see this.

Shikamaru nodded silently when he heard the words. He knew that Morino Ibiki was not targeting himself or opposing war. Many tasks undertaken by Ninja Village in peacetime were also life-threatening, and they were only slightly better than war. The captains of the department are all ninjas who have experienced war and are not afraid of war. They may not be war mad, but they are not pacifists either.

War is not a child's play. Only by solving all foreseeable problems, considering the worst results in advance and finding solutions can the chances of success be increased. <And Mito Menyan, as Hokage, no one in the village can restrain him, but it will not make Konoha high-ranking officials become his one word.

Morinoi Hibiki's performance this time is exactly what an experienced ninja should do.

"There is a dispute between the two tails, and the three villages of Iwagakure, Sagakure, and Kirigakure don't want to stay out of it." Shikamaru continued: "On the other hand, after the war, I plan to support another country close to Konoha and Fire, but maintain The country of du li will take the place of the country of thunder."

Shikamaru glanced at the direction of Tianzhiguo on the map, and continued: "Xinguo needs to develop. The United Army Ninja Village, which has just experienced war and re-cultivated Renzhuli, also needs to recuperate. After the war, there will be no accidents. , we can at least get more than ten years of peace."
