Chapter 525: Who wants to die when you can live?

As the announcement spread throughout the ninja world, quite a few rebel ninjas who had been hiding and had long been fed up with the life of being treated like rats joined the coalition.

These rebel ninjas originally came here with trepidation, fearing that this was a trap.

Finally found out that it is true!

The coalition forces really didn't make things difficult for them, they just had to sign an agreement with severe penalties before joining, and they received a warning from the Third Raikage.

With the presence of the big boss, the Third Raikage, these prisoners and rebellious ninjas are more obedient than each other.

No fool would jump out to seek death when facing the Third Raikage.

Otherwise, the Third Hokage would have let him die after trying.

"Hey, this guy is here too?"

Looking at the list of people joining the Allied Forces' cannon fodder group, Jingyi looked at a certain name in surprise.

"Kakuzu? Is this guy famous?"

Orochimaru tilted his head to take a look.

"He is indeed quite famous. I think you should learn from him." Jingyi looked strange.

Kakuzu was indeed very famous in the past. He was a traitor to Takinoshi Village and even dared to assassinate Senju Hashirama.

Not every ninja would dare to accept this kind of assassination mission, but he did it and even escaped alive. This is the most amazing thing.

It is likely that Hashirama Senju was too lazy to pay attention to him, otherwise Kakuzu would not have enough hearts to die even if he had more.

Because the assassination took place too early, and Kakuzu had been lurking for years to avoid being hunted by Takigakure, and Hashirama Senju never paid attention to him, Kakuzu did not have a very big reputation in the ninja world.

"???"

study?

which aspect?

Orochimaru had never paid attention to Kakuzu, so naturally he was not very clear about Kakuzu's outrageous behavior.

It seems that Orochimaru really feels unfamiliar with Kakuzu.

Shizuka had no choice but to explain: "This guy named Kakuzu is a traitor from Takigakure. He once accepted a mission to assassinate the Shodaime Hokage, and after the mission failed, he successfully escaped."

"........"

Are you kidding me?

Orochimaru couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but after a few seconds he grasped the key point.

He licked his lips subconsciously, and Orochimaru's vertical pupils lit up.

"You mean, this guy named Kakuzu is a ninja from the Shodaime era, an old antique in the ninja world?"

"Correct."

Jing nodded and said, "Until now, he still remains very young."

"Hehehe...interesting." Orochimaru laughed.

He started to have some ideas about the diagonal.

Knowing that Orochimaru must have some thoughts, Jingyi reminded him:

"The traitor Kakuzu of Takigakure Village has a unique secret technique that allows him to steal other people's hearts and transplant them into his own body. As long as the heart in his body is not completely destroyed, he will not die. It is precisely because of the secret technique that Kakuzu can live to this day to replace his heart."

"This is the general information I know. You have to investigate the details yourself. By the way, don't underestimate him. This guy is very powerful. You may not be able to take him down smoothly."

Orochimaru is quite powerful, but Kakuzu is also very strong. Orochimaru wants to target Kakuzu, but he may not be able to defeat him.

"I understand, I will be careful."

Orochimaru smiled and gave Jingyi a promise: "I will not attack him during the coalition war, but I hope you can help me."

"Okay, I'll help you if I get a chance, provided there's a chance."

Helping Orochimaru and taking down Kakuzu isn't a big deal, but it requires the right opportunity.

After all, the coalition forces had announced that it would not be easy to persecute those rebel ninjas who joined the coalition forces. They had just promised not to do anything, but then they captured Kakuzu. It would not be good if this got out.

After getting Shizuka's approval, Orochimaru left contentedly. He couldn't wait to observe this guy named Kakuzu.

Jingyi had no idea what Kakuzu was thinking or why he chose to join the coalition, and he was too lazy to investigate.

At this time, he was more interested in the coalition's ninja army.

Looking at the long list of ninjas participating in the coalition war, Jingyi did not expect that the five major ninja villages only selected 40,000 elite troops.

Only half the number of allied forces in the original work's Fourth Ninja World War.

Half is missing, what does this mean?

Eighty thousand became forty thousand.

You have to know that the ninja army is not an ordinary army. Let alone half of them, even ten thousand or twenty thousand are not the same concept.

Jingyi could guess why there were so many fewer ninjas in the allied forces.

First of all, the current timeline is still many years away from the Fourth Ninja World War in the original work. The development over the past thirty years has already greatly increased the number of ninjas in the five major ninja villages.

Coupled with the subsequent Ninja World War, the number of elite ninjas in each village was greatly reduced.

The five major ninja villages are all in this state.

It's not just individual villages.

Konoha and the Sand Village fought first, and the Iwagakure Village joined in the fun.

After several years of war, both Konoha and the Sand Village suffered heavy losses.

Soon, a war broke out again between the Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Mist villages, and Konoha and Sand villages also participated. This time, the losses of Konoha and Sand villages were not great, but the losses of the Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Mist villages were huge.

The war had just ended when Uchiha Madara was pushed to the forefront.

The villages had no time to recuperate and immediately began to form a coalition force. As a result, the number of elite troops in the coalition force would definitely be greatly reduced.

The last point is that Jingyi’s requirement is to select the elite, and those ninjas who are just there to make up the numbers should not be crammed in.

In the ninja world, many small villages can draw out many ninjas, and the number of these ninjas put together is not small. It's a pity that Jingyi doesn't look down on them, and the number of ninjas from small villages joining the coalition combat forces is very small.

Most of these ninjas are responsible for transportation and logistics and will not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

With nearly thirty years less time for development, the five major ninja villages were involved in a series of Ninja World Wars, and the ninjas from the small villages were basically not selected. These three reasons combined directly led to the coalition forces having only 40,000 combat troops.

Compared to the 80,000 in the original work's Fourth Ninja World War, it is half less.

The White Zetsu army that appeared on the battlefield numbered 100,000, which was almost 2.5 times the number of the Allied Ninjas.

Fortunately, except Shizue, no one in the coalition knew how many White Zetsu Uchiha Madara had. If they knew about the army of 100,000 White Zetsu, the cannon fodder from each village would probably be pulled into the combat forces.

Forty thousand to one hundred thousand, this ratio is really a bit scary.

Even though there are many ninjas in the five major ninja villages, they can kill a large number of White Zetsu and have a very high kill ratio.

But when the number of White Zetsu army reaches a certain level, it will cause a qualitative change.

To put it bluntly, let alone 100,000 pigs, it would take a while to kill them.

It will definitely tire out a lot of people.

White Zetsu is not a pig, these guys are very strong.

And he has tricky abilities.

A steady stream of ninja troops arrived at the camp, and a steady stream of supplies of all kinds were delivered to the front line.

The ninjas from many small villages were deeply moved by the decision that the five major ninja villages only needed elite troops and no cannon fodder, which was also particularly beneficial for transporting supplies.

No need to go to the battlefield, just move and transport supplies, where can you find such a good thing?

Although not being able to join the combat unit is a sign of a lack of recognition of one's own strength, entering the battlefield means people will die. Who would want to die if they can stay alive?
