Chapter 514 Rekindling Hope

"Then I'll tell you more later."

Kaguya said calmly.

The two serious-looking men walked around the edge of the ninja village.

At the moment, no one in the ninja army was in a good mood, and Yinyue and Kaguya were not in the mood to pass through the ninja village and listen to their greetings.

“I didn’t make a move today.”

Kaguya's beautiful eyes flashed with greed, and she glanced at Yinyue secretly, then whispered: "How are you going to compensate me?"

Yinyue stopped.

Kaguya was secretly delighted.

After a while, the two returned to the real world and returned to Kaguya's current Snow Kingdom palace.

Fenghua Xiaoxue, the Queen of the Snow Kingdom, served him and was eagerly looking forward to it with envy.

...

...

Cultivate secret realm.

Naruto sighed: "I have failed my father's expectations of me..."

As he spoke, he held his head in his hands and whispered to himself in shame. At the moment, no one came to comfort him.

Because other people need comfort too.

Sasuke's eyes revealed confusion and helplessness:

"It turns out that there is such a huge gap between me and the Ōtsutsuki. I have already opened the Mangekyō Sharingan and possessed the Samsara Eye, but the gap is still like a chasm."

He began to think seriously.

If I face that Otsutsuki again, will I be able to have a better way to deal with it and find a better solution?

Sasuke got the answer.

No.

First of all, he had no way of specifically targeting that guy's ability to evade attacks by turning into a virtual being.

There's no way to counter this move.

This means.

No matter how lethal the attack method Sasuke uses, it is likely to be avoided by the opponent.

Secondly, the ninjutsu that he released would also be absorbed by that guy.

For example, the Amaterasu that he had released before was clearly an inextinguishable flame condensed from the ultimate Yin escape technique, but it was also absorbed by that Otsutsuki.

Both Susanoo and Amaterasu were restrained, which made Sasuke very frustrated.

And beside Naruto and Sasuke.

Sakura was equally confused.

People like Sakura and other Xiaoqiang have no idea what they are doing during actual combat training.

They all seemed to be cannon fodder and embellishment, and they didn't know what role they should play on the battlefield.

all in all.

After the top leaders of the ninja village gave the order, they all rushed forward, and before they could even touch the enemy's sleeves, they were melted by the enemy.

It is so miserable that one does not know why he is born and why he dies.

It really fits what Otsutsuki said when he ignored them, "A bunch of ants!"

Sakura was extremely confused. She squatted with her back against the wall of the wooden house and suddenly felt that she was not suitable to be a ninja.

At this moment.

There are countless ninjas who have this idea. They lost too miserably in this actual combat exercise. If this was not an exercise, they would have entered the Pure Land and reincarnated long ago.

Now, not only the Xiaoqiangs, but even their mentors are in deep confusion and helplessness.

Kai, who claimed to be well prepared, had lost his former vitality, and stared at the sky with lifeless eyes.

"Kakashi... I... I couldn't even use the move I was most confident in against that guy..." Kai sighed: "I... I feel like I'm really useless."

Kakashi took a deep breath and suddenly laughed, a very free and easy laugh.

Kai looked at his best friend in surprise: "What's wrong with you, Kakashi? It's not that you are too shocked. Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Kakashi shook his head and said, "This kind of thing is not exciting at all to me."

He lost his mother at an early age, and his father committed suicide in front of him. He lost his best friend while on a mission, and then he saw his last teammate off with his own hands.

Now, he just suffered a small defeat in the actual combat exercise with the Otsutsuki.

Even though he had personally experienced the feeling of death, Kakashi felt that it was nothing special.

The feeling this death brought to him was not as great as any of the pains he had experienced in the past.

Therefore, Kakashi accepted this reality early on.

He said calmly: "Kai, it's not that we are useless, it's that guy is too strong. He is so strong that no matter whether we are useful or not, he can crush us with his overwhelming power."

Kai stared at Kakashi with wide eyes.

Kakashi continued:

"So, we shouldn't dwell on what happens after failure. We should try to figure out what kind of answer the questioner wants us to give."

"Oh?" At this moment, Kai looked at Kakashi and felt as if the two of them had returned to the scene of the ninja school exam.

At that time, Kakashi could always know the teacher's intention of the test in advance and explain it to him.

Kakashi said seriously: "The one who set the question wanted us to lose, so there is no way we can win."

"Why would he do this?"

Kai was surprised.

"So that we can not lose when facing the real Otsutsuki, at least, we can not lose too badly!" Kakashi explained seriously: "Have you noticed that from the beginning our strategic arrangement was just like playing house, it seemed very casual and taken for granted!"

Kai said pointedly: "It is also possible that our previous enemies were all humans, and they had few experiences fighting against the Otsutsuki..."

But as Kai said this, he himself lost his confidence. Referring to the previous Ninja Wars, it was true that both the battle plans and the layouts in various aspects were very inadequate.

You know, a long time ago, when the Ninja World was not yet unified, Lord Yinyue had already told the top leaders of the Ninja Village all the crises that the Ninja World would face in the future.

But the ninja village and the entire ninja army still handed in an answer that did not satisfy that person.

Things like chakra cannons, tailed beast puppets, and all those fancy things, all look scary but are actually not of much help to the battle situation.

"If we really want to win against the Otsutsuki, we still have to look at the person!" Kakashi took a deep breath, reached out and patted Kai's shoulder, and pondered: "For example, no matter how big or small, we must be meticulous. No matter which step we take, we must think carefully and think about the steps behind it, or even a dozen steps... We must be more meticulous than the Otsutsuki to have a chance to defeat him!"

Kai shook his head, carefully absorbing what Kakashi said.

Just when the ninja army was still in a slump, Shikamaru's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

He said to everyone present through the mental communication channel of the Yamanaka clan to the entire ninja army: "Everyone, I am Nara Shikamaru, and I am also the first commander to die in this war..."

Then, Shikamaru spoke frankly about the combat experience of his own and his team's sacrifices, and then repeated the words he had used to appease the Twelve Ninjas.

With Shikamaru's experience of dying to obtain intelligence about the Otsutsuki, as well as the inspiring encouragement, the ninja army suddenly regained some vitality.

Many people were enlightened by this.

indeed.

When facing the Otsutsuki, when they really need to face that kind of existence, they can only fight to the death in order to gain valuable information for subsequent teammates. This is the only thing they can do for the victory of mankind.

...

...

In the conference room.

The senior executives waited quietly for Shikamaru to finish speaking, and then they applauded and cheered for this rising star in the ninja village.

After Shikamaru pacified the Konoha army, he ordered the army to disband.

Let all ninjas return to their respective bases in the ninja world and wait for the next actual combat training gathering.

Shikamaru put down the voice transmission device in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, after his encouragement, the morale of the Konoha army was improving.

This is what humans are.

In times of absolute adversity, there is always someone who stands up, unleashes their potential, exerts their utmost strength, and gives the greatest encouragement to mankind.

"Everyone, please cheer up!" Tsunade said solemnly: "Next time, we will definitely be able to beat that guy, we can fight!"

"Yes--"

All the commanders worked together, gritted their teeth, and began to review the actual combat drill.

Tsunade guided:

"Since we only have to deal with Otsutsuki Kinshiki for now, all our plans should be centered around him. Of course, we must also be on guard against a second Otsutsuki suddenly appearing on the battlefield."

If a second Otsutsuki really appeared.

All I can say is that Yinyue is really a pervert.

With their current ability to respond, they would not be able to deal with two Otsutsuki appearing at the same time.

The Raikage raised his hand and said seriously, "Since that guy likes to destroy the chakra cannon first, then I suggest that we deliberately leave the chakra cannon square formation out and let him destroy it on his own initiative!"

The ninja representatives of the Sealing Class and the Barrier Class immediately raised their hands: "I agree, we can set up a sealing formation on the chakra cannon! Make a trap!"

Tsunade groaned: "That guy can also absorb ninjutsu, so when facing him, we can't collectively release joint escape techniques."

"Before the main force is dispatched, let the puppet troops in the Sand District drain the energy in that guy's body. Any energy we can drain is a good thing!"

Gaara added.

"The ninjas in the Hidden Mist were divided into small groups, and the battleships and aircraft carriers were also used as bait."

Mei Terumi spoke.

Huang Tu thought for a moment and said, "The ninjas in the Iwagakure district are responsible for building defensive positions to resist that guy's large-scale attacks as much as possible."

With this combat experience.

The commanders with the best brains in these ninja villages began to formulate battle plans that were specifically targeted at Otsutsuki Kinshiki.

Looking at Shizune and a group of secretaries who were quickly recording the combat plans proposed by the commanders, Tsunade's expression did not relax at all.

She knew that this was certainly far from enough, but she could only hope that in the next battle, the ninja army would be able to find a correct way out when facing the Otsutsuki clan.

The top leaders of the Ninja Village worked day and night to draw up the most detailed battle plan.

Yin Yue and Hui Ye were affectionate for several days.

This isn't Kaguya being lazy.

For her, now apart from actual combat which can enhance her proficiency and control over her own abilities, she can only draw on the enhancement of spiritual strength from Yinyue.

"Take good care of the spiritual strength you have gained in these days!" Yinyue looked at Kaguya lying beside her and reminded her, "Don't forget to practice in the secret realm."

Kaguya stood up lazily and nodded heavily.

Under the service of Fenghua Xiaoxue, Yinyue began to observe the changes in the entire ninja world in recent days.

It's also interesting to say.

The ninja army disappeared from the ninja world for only two or three days, and various disturbances broke out in the areas where they were stationed. These were naturally caused by those rebellious ninjas who still had evil intentions, or small ninja clans and daimyos of small countries that had been destroyed who jumped out to cause trouble.

However, these guys didn't jump around for long, as the ninja army suddenly returned, and they all fell into despair.

Before, the ninjas would persuade those guys to surrender, and some would even be recruited to contribute to infrastructure construction.

And this time.

After the ninja army came back, they seemed to be holding back their anger and dealt with this matter in the most severe way, killing everyone who came.

After all, they are no match for the Otsutsuki in the secret space, so aren’t they just those useless opponents who are always looking to cause trouble?

The ninja world has reached this point.

As long as the Otsutsuki arrives, the entire ninja world will be devastated. And as human beings, even when the ninja village has clearly explained in detail that the Otsutsuki clan is going to invade the ninja world, they still incite civilians to intervene and fight against the Otsutsuki.

It is impossible for a normal person to imagine what is going on in these people’s minds.

Executed with swift and resolute means.

Peace returned to the ninja world once again.

With a channel to vent their emotions, the morale of the ninja army is gradually recovering.

In another ten days or half a month, when they have completely digested this actual combat failure and summarized the reasons for the failure and their own reasons, they can start the second actual combat training.

Yinyue has always sneered at the ever-changing human heart.

But we never take those extremes as the mainstream and deny the entire biological community.

Accompany Yinyue to observe the changes in the ninja world.

"Let me rest for a while..." Kaguya said weakly, "I need to have a good rest."

Her spiritual power had indeed increased tremendously, but her body was already beginning to be unable to bear it.

And today, the five Kage also ended their pre-war meeting. They are also human beings and as human beings they need rest. Unless a war breaks out suddenly, there is no need for them to stay tense, as this would be detrimental to their subsequent performance in actual combat.

Drinking the moon and feeling bored.

After the five Kage returned to their respective residences, he went to accompany Mei Terumi.

real world.

Hidden Mist Area.

The original architectural style of the Hidden Mist Village is maintained here, with high-rise buildings as the main feature. The style is not exaggerated, but rather very restrained.

Mei Terumi's home is located on the upper floors of one of the tall buildings. It is very similar to her home in the Hidden Mist Village, except that there is no sea view here.

In order to create that atmosphere, there is a relatively spacious stream behind the high-rise building.

Although there is no sea, there are streams, which makes up for the regret that there is no water in the ninja village.

Mei Terumi was lying on the bed, unable to get up, when she was suddenly surprised to find that the space around her was fluctuating.

Her eyes widened and she tried to get up, but she couldn't move.

After several days of meetings, I was completely drained mentally and physically.

Right now she just wanted to have a good sleep and recover some energy.

"Go to sleep!" Yinyue came and sat beside her, stretched out his hand and stroked her face, calming her confused mind and allowing her to fall asleep peacefully.

When a person is extremely tired, he will not be able to sleep well and is more likely to have a disruption of his biological clock due to endocrine disorders.

Let Mei Terumi fall asleep.

He did not leave, but took a chair, placed it in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the bedroom, picked up a book, sat on the chair, and read quietly.
