Chapter 715 Xiao's Determination
"Such a strange voice..."
Huang Tu's figure flashed quickly, his face tense, recalling the young voice before.
He leaped into the air with all his might, carrying Han on his back, and rushed towards the deeper parts of the loess earth.
Now that this place has been discovered by the enemy, it is no longer safe.
But before that, he must not let the Han in his hands get lost.
"The troublesome guy!"
Just as he started running, a cold but clear voice came from behind him.
Boom!
Boom!
The huge orange-red Susanoo giant stomped the ground, ruthlessly crushing the rock ninjas that rushed towards him one after another. Its huge shadow enveloped and completely engulfed the countless rock ninjas.
.......
An astonishing number of Iwagakure ninjas were distributed in every corner of the temporary camp. Their patrol teams were like iron chains, tightly surrounding the entire border area of the Land of Earth, forming an impenetrable security network.
And in the middle of this area, the largest number of Iwagakure ninjas gathered.
In a makeshift conference room, all the senior ninjas of Iwagakure gathered together, including the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki.
"Third-sama, there is something very unfortunate. We have lost contact with the troops led by the Yellow Earth Jonin in the rear.
What's worse is that our Five-Tails Jinchuriki has just lost contact and is missing. After our investigation, we found that there seemed to be a fierce battle there! The life and death of the Yellow Earth Jonin is also unknown!"
The Iwagakure jonin who was in charge of intelligence work announced to everyone in a serious and solemn tone.
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room immediately became tense and depressing, and every Iwagakure jonin attending the meeting felt the seriousness of the situation.
Not only did the Jinchūriki disappear, but even the Third Tsuchikage's son, the Iwagakure Village's jonin Huangdi, disappeared.
This situation caught everyone present off guard.
According to common sense, even if they couldn't defeat Uchiha Itachi and the S-rank rebel ninja Kisame from the Hidden Mist Village, they shouldn't have lost contact with them.
"I hope that the Third Hokage can calm down a bit. I wonder... Is this a warning from the Akatsuki organization to us? Or a deterrent? Is that why they also captured the Yellow Earth Jonin?"
Another Iwagakure jonin sighed.
"The captain of the unit is Huang Tu, my son! He is also an experienced elite jonin in our village, and his strength is comparable to the six current Kage! It is impossible for a ninja like him to be defeated by two traitorous ninjas! There must be something that we haven't investigated clearly!"
Ōnoki's expression was frighteningly cold.
He was already over fifty years old, his hair was graying, and he seemed a little listless, but his seemingly cloudy eyes shone with a firm light in their depths.
Loess must not be dead!
......
The scorching sun spreads across the land.
The atmosphere in the temporary meeting room was tense and serious.
At this moment, the commander was the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki. Huang Tu stood behind him with a solemn expression.
It turned out that although Huang Tu successfully saved his own Five-Tails Jinchuriki in the previous battle and his life was not in danger, unfortunately, the Akatsuki organization seemed determined to capture King Mu in the body of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, and directly dispatched most of its forces to block nearly a thousand Rock Ninjas led by Ohnoki at the border of the Land of Earth.
Faced with such a serious situation, Ōnoki, as the Tsuchikage, decided to step forward and would not let his own Jinchūriki be arrested.
Despite his short stature and a funny big red nose, every Iwagakure jonin present at this moment was filled with deep respect for the Tsuchikage.
When Iwagakure was in crisis due to the death of the Second Tsuchikage, he turned the tide and led Iwagakure on the road to revival.
His time in power even exceeded that of Konoha's Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and his prestige and influence were unmatched in the eyes of the Iwagakure ninjas.
With him around, the jonin finally felt relieved.
"Lord Tsuchikage, according to the information we have, many ninjas wearing Akatsuki robes have appeared at the border of the Land of Earth."
At this time, a Iwagakure jonin reported the shocking news to Ōnoki.
The other Iwagakure jonin who attended the meeting did not show any surprise. They had more or less known the news and were not surprised by it.
"Those people are nothing to be afraid of. What I need to know now is how many core members Akatsuki has dispatched!"
Ōnoki analyzed the information carefully. Although it was only a few sentences, it was precisely because of this concise and clear information that it hit the key point.
As long as we understand the distribution of Akatsuki's combat power, what happens next will become clearer.
"No less than six."
An Iwagakure jonin said with a serious expression.
"Orochimaru, Hiruko, Uchiha Itachi, Kisame, who else?"
Oonoki turned a cold gaze towards the ninja who spoke.
"According to the information from the Wind Country, in addition to those four people, there is also the Red Sand Scorpion, who was recently labeled an S-rank traitor by the Sand Village, and... Deidara."
The jonin pronounced Deidara's name with difficulty, while carefully observing Ōnoki's reaction.
Sure enough, when he heard Deidara's name, Ohnoki's expression suddenly shook, and a barely perceptible gloom flashed in his eyes.
The third Tsuchikage's last disciple,
The rebel ninja who escaped from the Iwagakure Village has now reappeared in the ninja world and even caused a storm.
Collaborating with the criminals who stole the tailed beasts is an extremely disgraceful thing no matter how you look at it, and it is a severe blow to the dignity of the Iwagakure Village.
It's also a slap on Ōnoki's face!
"I never thought that he would go down this wrong path. If I had discovered it earlier, I should have kept a close watch on him to prevent him from causing trouble outside! It's my fault, it's my fault..."
Oonoki could hardly suppress the anger in his heart.
"Lord Tsuchikage, please calm down. Now that things have happened, it is futile to regret. Now we need to find a way to solve the dilemma in front of us..."
Although the Iwagakure jonin didn't finish his words, everyone present understood what he meant.
Being a Jinchūriki is no small feat.
This can also be seen from the reaction of Akatsuki.
And now this organization has set its sights on the Five-Tails Jinchuriki in their hands, and it looks like they will not give up.
This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for the Iwagakure force, which has less than a thousand ninjas.
"It's not that bad. Our troops are all the elite Iwagakure ninjas! Ace flying troops, how could they be afraid of being surrounded by a mere Wei?"
Oonoki said firmly.
"Once Huang Tu's injury heals, I will lead you to break through the cage! Kill him and let the Akatsuki organization show its power!"
There was a gleam of determination in Ohnoki's eyes.
The other Iwagakure jonin all looked solemn when they heard this. "As you command!"
......
