Chapter 284 Empty Stronghold

Natsuki chuckled, it might be useless in other people's hands.

But Xia Mu has a way to make him useful.

But he didn't answer Tsunade now.

Instead he asked:

"Tsunade, if one day Uchiha and Konoha fight, who will you help?"

Tsunade was shocked and looked at Natsuki solemnly.

Seeing that Xia Mu's face was calm, he was patiently waiting for her answer.

Tsunade then started to think seriously.

Her eyes flashed across the photos, thinking of her lover who wanted to be Hokage but died young.

Thinking of the rope tree that was younger but still dead.

"I won't let anyone destroy Konoha."

Tsunade's words were resounding. Konoha was the hard work of her two grandfathers, and she would not let Konoha be destroyed.

Xia Mu's expression didn't change much.

Instead, he continued to ask: "What if Konoha wants to destroy Uchiha?"

Tsunade glanced around and thought about the injustice done to Uchiha in the village.

Thinking of Uchiha Natsuki's character and Naruto's smiling face.

He also shook his head firmly:

"I won't let Konoha destroy Uchiha either."

Xia Mu lowered his eyes slightly: "I understand."

Tsunade frowned:

"Natsuki, if you have any plans, you can tell me. It's not the best ending for Konoha and Uchiha to fight until both of them lose."

Xia Mu raised his head and showed a smile:

"Tsunade-sama, do you think I can be the Fifth Hokage?"

Tsunade was shocked and dumbfounded. Natsuki had never shown any interest in the position of Hokage before.

What's going on today?

"Do you really want to be Hokage?"

Tsunade asked uncertainly.

Natsuki laughed: "How is that possible? What's the use of Hokage?"

"but……"

Xia Mu changed the subject.

"The Third Hokage has been sitting in his position for too long, and his thoughts have long been solidified."

"He has deep prejudice against Uchiha. Unless you become Hokage, there is no way to resolve the conflict between Konoha and Uchiha."

Tsunade has been fooled by Natsuki's wild ideas.

I don't even know which of Xia Mu's words is true and which is false.

He could only say helplessly: "Xiamu, what do you want to do? I am not interested in the position of Hokage."

"But as long as you don't mean to start a head-on war with Konoha, I won't object if you want to run for Hokage."

Natsuki shrugged:

"Don't worry, I promise not to let Uchiha and Konoha fight."

"Just be mentally prepared. Maybe your teacher is not as kind as he appears..."

Xia Mu said half of the words, which was a precaution for the next method.

Tsunade was silent for a moment, then waved her hand tiredly: "I understand."

Xia Mu said nothing more, waved and left the hospital.

……

Battlefield of the Kingdom of Water.

Since the last time the eight-tailed Kirabi came with a tailed beast jade.

Kirigakure stopped thinking about a strong attack and began to conduct tentative attacks with small troops.

But the Eight-Tailed Kirabi never appeared again.

Terumi Mei was sure that the eight-tailed Kirabi's injury was not healed yet, otherwise he wouldn't have just fired one tailed beast jade and not appeared in the battle.

This time Terumi Mei decided to attack at night.

Today, Kumogakure's stronghold must be pulled out.

Terumi Mei personally took thirty elites of Kirigakure, as well as Kisame and others, to raid Kumogakure's stronghold.

"Watch your step!"

Qing shouted softly: "There is a detonating talisman trap fifteen meters ahead."

"It's activated by tripping hair."

As he spoke, he led the team around and left two people to dismantle the trap before following.

So as not to block their way on their return journey.

Relying on Ao's Byakugan and several other sensory ninjas, Kirigakure led Terumi Mei and others around seven times, and finally walked through the trap area full of detonating charms.

"Mizukage-sama, something is wrong. I didn't see a single Kumogakure along the way."

Kisame Mikasaki said with a frown on his back, Samehada on his back.

Kisame has been addicted to it in the past two days. He has already reached the level of an elite jounin and still holds the Samehada muscle.

The average Kumogakure was really no match, and the team that Kisame encountered suffered heavy casualties.

Today, Kirigakure's Mizukage is preparing to lead an elite raid on Kumogakure's stronghold.

But tonight, there are no people out on patrol in Yugakure, which is really weird.

Especially near the detonating talisman trap, there are usually clouds hiding there, but today I didn't even see a ghost.

Kirigakure simply relied on Ao's Byakugan to bypass this troublesome part.

"We don't have much time, we must go and see it today."

In the past two days, Dry Persimmon Kisame, Loquat Juzo and Zabuza have all made a lot of contributions to Kirigakure.

Terumi Mei was overjoyed and secretly thanked Fei Ni, an old-timer, for sending back several talents to Kirigakure.

Among the three, the strongest one is Kisame Inikisaki, who holds the Samehada muscle in his hand and is rich in chakra.

His first attack is usually a large-scale water escape, and he is always at the forefront. With Samehada, ordinary ninjutsu poses little threat to him.

The one who killed the most enemies was Kisame.

It's a pity that Inikisaki Kisame is no longer Kirigakure's person, and it seems that Kisame has no plans to return to Kirigakure.

Terumi Mei could only think about it and think of a solution later.

Kumogakure's movements today are indeed strange, but according to the intelligence on the sea, Kumogakure's large force should not arrive for some time.

Terumi Mei was determined to kill or take away at least one Jinchuuriki tonight.

Otherwise Kirigakure would be very dangerous.

We can't put all our hopes on the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

Several people quickly arrived at the stronghold built by Yunyin.

Qing's white eyes looked inside.

"Mizukage-sama, there is no one inside, Kumogakure's people are not here."

Terumi Mei frowned: "Ao, check the beach to see if there is any trace of Kumogakure."

"Yes!"

Ao began to use his Byakugan with all his strength, chakra was rapidly depleted.

The distance kept getting farther and farther, and finally, we were near the beach. Found Kumogakure's troops.

"Mizukage-sama, we found it!"

"All Kumogakure's troops are on the beach."

Terumi Mei frowned and waved her hands fiercely: "Everyone, let's go!"

The target is directly at Kirigakure who is at the beach.

……

seaside.

Kumogakure team.

Kumogakure originally had a team of more than two hundred people.

In the past two days, Kirigakure had lost more than thirty people in his high-intensity attacks.

Later, Kumogakure started to fight guerrillas, constantly using various traps to delay Kirigakure's attack.

The losses every day are much smaller.

And they arrived at the beach to station themselves because there were already a large number of injured people inside Kumogakure.

If the stronghold is touched by Kirigakure at this time.

Then Yun Yin's casualties would be very heavy.

So after discussion between Mu and Qilabi.

The day before, people were gradually moved to the beach.

They even put the boat on the beach.

If you can't do anything, you can run away immediately.

After all, no one expected that the two Jinchuuriki would be so seriously injured.

Now the power of the curse on Yukito is gradually weakening, through the super resilience of the tailed beast.

Yukito can now barely fight in his half-tailed beast form.

But the time should not be too long. Because Kirabi forcibly transformed into a tailed beast and fired the tailed beast jade two days ago, the wound burst.

Now he was lying on the bed again.

There is another reason for them to come here, that is, the Raikage will come ashore from here.
