Chapter 475: The Thunder Shadow Curses His Mother
"That damn Nagato from Akatsuki."
"Grass!!!"
The Raikage, who had just experienced a great war, was furious in the camp where he had just been stationed.
The reason for his anger was simple.
After receiving Nagato's message, he convened a meeting of high-ranking Cloud Ninjas to discuss the matter.
Finally, he made a painful decision to retreat.
But before they could do anything, they found that Ōnoki and Nawaki had already brought the coalition forces to the door.
That desperate fighting style made him a little scared.
After the war, he found himself in a dilemma.
How could this not make him angry?
If Nagato hadn't evacuated with the Akatsuki, this situation would never have happened.
"Lord Raikage, please don't be angry for now."
"At least there won't be any reinforcements from Ōnoki for a while."
A high-ranking Cloud Ninja gave a good-intentioned warning, but it unexpectedly had the opposite effect.
"madness!!!"
"Just because there are no reinforcements for a while doesn't mean there will be no reinforcements forever."
"They are trying their best to hold us back now. How are we going to deal with them when reinforcements arrive?"
The third generation Ai just couldn't find an outlet to vent his anger, so this guy just walked into a trap.
"..."
Faced with the questioning of the Third Generation Ai, he opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer, and was directly rendered speechless.
"Father, there is still some time to buffer."
"We should find a solution as soon as possible."
Seeing his son come to the rescue, Sandai Ai's expression eased a little.
"Based on the current situation, it is unlikely that we can conquer the Land of Earth."
"Retreat is the best option at this moment."
"But judging from Ohnoki's posture, he has definitely made arrangements for our retreat."
"How do you think we can break the impasse?"
Although he was reluctant to admit it, the Third Generation Ai knew that his plan to take over the Land of Earth had failed.
Withdrawing from the Land of Earth as soon as possible has become the most important thing at the moment.
The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for him.
"Lord Raikage, is it possible if we take a detour?"
As soon as Tu Dai opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.
"detour?"
The third generation Ai frowned and looked at the map hanging in the tent.
"Correct."
"We want to go back the same way now, but it's very difficult."
"Although the detour is much longer, Ōnoki may not have expected us to do this."
"You can return from either the River Country or the Soup Country when the time comes."
Todai walked to the map and pointed out two routes.
“That’s a solution.”
"But you have to understand that no matter which path you take, you will have to deal with the Akatsuki Ninja."
“These places are currently within their sphere of influence.”
The third generation Ai pondered for a moment and always felt an indescribable awkwardness.
The relationship between the Cloud Ninja and the Akatsuki Ninja is very delicate now, and the entry of such a large army is definitely a taboo.
"You're right."
"Although there has been some rift between the Akatsuki Ninja and our allies, we haven't officially torn our relations apart after all."
"If they just want to borrow the passage, they won't necessarily refuse, right?"
In fact, Tu Dai was not very sure, but he really couldn't think of any better way at the moment.
"What do you all think?"
The third generation Ai did not continue to respond to Tudai's words, but glanced at everyone.
"Akatsuki Ninja is in the process of expansion, so there is no way they will agree to borrow your passage."
“I think it’s worth a try.”
"If they don't let us pass, can't we just go?"
"They should be taught a lesson by just being Xiaonin."
"It doesn't matter if we break up. If we can't take down the Land of Earth, can we still control them?"
......
There were many different opinions and views at the same time, and the whole tent was suddenly filled with an uproar.
The third generation of Ai looked at the chaotic situation in front of him, but he didn't even feel like interfering.
He really didn't know what to do.
However, compared with the Rock Ninja and the Cloud Ninja, Ohnoki's mood seemed particularly nice at this moment.
Minato immediately had someone pass on the news of Akatsuki's retreat.
Thanks to this, Ōnoki was able to stop them before the Cloud Ninjas.
Although in this battle to stop the Cloud Ninja from retreating, the Rock Ninja still did not gain any advantage.
But Ohnoki couldn't help laughing when he thought about the scene of beating up the Cloud Ninjas when Lao Zi and Huang Tu came back.
"Tsuchikage-sama, everything has been arranged."
"We have people guarding all the roads leading to the dock."
Since returning with Konoha reinforcements, Daisuke Nakano has gradually returned to the center of power among the Iwagakure.
"very good."
"They still want to run away, but it's not that easy."
"Forget about the door. I won't even leave a window for them."
There was a constant gleam of confidence in Ohnoki's eyes.
The battle damage statistics put aside did not affect his happy mood at all.
"The retreat of the Akatsuki Ninja is undoubtedly great news."
"Although Lao Zi and Huang Tu were seriously injured, this news came at a very timely moment."
"If we were a little slower, the Kumo Ninjas would have gotten away."
A high-ranking Iwagakure ninja was also inspired by this. He grinned with his mouth wide open, unable to close his mouth in laughter.
"really."
"When we got there, the Kumo Ninja were clearly preparing to retreat."
"That Raikage guy probably wants to skin Akatsuki alive now."
Another person echoed, also grinning from ear to ear.
"The Cloud Ninja was blind when they sought an alliance with the Akatsuki Ninja."
"He can't blame anyone else for the current situation."
"I can only blame him for not keeping his eyes open."
Some people make sarcastic remarks, and their words are full of gloating over other people's misfortune.
"Shit ally."
“Only interests are real.”
"In order to expand smoothly, the Akatsuki ninja left the Kumo ninja behind without hesitation."
“This is also a reminder for us to learn from it.”
As the man spoke, his eyes looked at Sheng Shu intentionally or unintentionally.
The atmosphere in the tent also became strange.
Everyone understood the meaning of his words.
Since the Akatsuki ninja can run, what about Konoha?
"Haha~"
“It’s hard to be a good person!”
"I will pass on every word you say back to Konoha."
Sheng Shu would never tolerate him and stared back at him with a forced smile.
"You misunderstood."
"I didn't mean that."
"We are all grateful for Konoha's assistance."
"I mean you should take this as a warning when looking for allies next time."
The man didn't expect Shengshu to respond in this way, and quickly opened his mouth to explain.
"It's ok."
"We in Konoha will also learn from this in the future."
"After all, not everyone is worth our help."
Sheng Shu had no intention of giving in, and the smile on his lips was full of mockery.
"Apologize."
"If you can't speak, just shut up. No one will think you are dumb."
Oonoki knew that if he didn't speak up, there would be no way out of this situation.
I don't know how I was so blind to promote him, he is a fool who can't see the situation clearly.
You say this kind of thing in front of someone, I wonder what's going on in your mind?
To put it another way, it’s okay for you to have this idea, but at least do it behind someone’s back!
Even though he cursed this person a thousand times in his heart, Ohno still didn't feel satisfied.
"I'm sorry, I spoke without thinking."
"Please, Master Shengshu, be magnanimous and don't argue with me."
Since Ōnoki had spoken, he had no choice but to apologize no matter how reluctant he was.
"No need to apologize, you're right."
"I'm a little tired, I'll go first."
After saying this, Sheng Shu stood up and left without looking back.
The day of retreat is approaching.
After Rope Tree left, Ōnoki's scolding continued, and no one in the entire tent dared to dissuade him.
What was originally a rather pleasant summary meeting ended up in an unpleasant way.
......
"I'm about to enter the Land of Fields, so get started."
A slug clone was lying on Nagato's shoulder, and in front of him was the border between the Land of Iron and the Land of Field.
"receive."
"All the flowers I've waited for you have withered."
Yahiko held the slug clone in his hand, and the smile on his face became increasingly cruel.
"I'll get ready."
"I've tolerated them for a long time."
After saying this, Xiaonan turned into pieces of paper and left impatiently. She couldn't wait any longer.
"I'll go gather some men, too."
Seeing this, Kakuzu also stood up and left. His patience was almost reaching its limit in the past few days.
"Everyone is so impatient."
Yahiko started to complain, but there was no criticism in his tone at all.
"Don't pretend. I see you're having a hard time enduring this."
"Go."
How could Nagato not understand Yahiko? If he hadn't been on a video call with her, he would have run faster than Konan.
"How can I bear it?"
“I’m in a good mood.”
Yahiko pretended to be nonchalant, and all he wanted was for Nagato to end the call quickly.
"Oh, really?"
"Will you chat with me for a while?"
Nagato's face was full of mischievous smiles. You little brat, are you still pretending in front of me?
"It's not that I don't want to talk to you."
"Look, you don't have anything else important to do."
"How about~ we can reminisce when you come."
Seeing that Nagato wanted to have a chat, Yahiko immediately backed off.
He was indeed enduring very hard, and now whenever he heard that there were spies from the Kirigakure, he would get furious.
"Didn't someone just say that he had a good attitude?"
Nagato immediately became unhappy and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.
"Oh, what does this have to do with mentality?"
"I'm just worried that Xiaonan won't be able to handle it."
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore."
"Bye-Bye."
Yahiko unilaterally cut off the connection and rushed out as if escaping.
"A dead duck has a tough mouth."
Seeing the scene returning to normal before his eyes, Nagato finally laughed out loud.
"Smiling so happily?"
Nono's tone sounded a little sour. It was probably that he was a jealous person in his previous life.
"Are you jealous of Yahiko?"
Nagato's smile suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he looked at Nono with both helplessness and amusement.
"Hmph~ You take care of me."
Nono turned his head and imitated Konan's tsundere look perfectly.
"There's really nothing I can do about you."
"I apologize to you. I will only smile so happily at you from now on, okay?"
Nagato moved closer, and a doting voice sounded in Nono's ears.
"That's pretty much it."
"Forgive you."
Nono tried hard to keep a straight face and not let himself laugh, but his heart felt sweeter than eating honey.
While the two of them were talking and arguing, Yahiko was already preparing to start a killing spree.
"Is everyone here?"
When Yahiko came out, a large number of Akatsuki ninjas had already gathered.
"almost."
Xiaonan is too lazy to count them, as long as there are enough people, it's enough.
"Then get ready to go."
"Don't let go of any Mist Ninja scouts you see."
Yahiko waved his hand and the team moved.
Not only were they feeling aggrieved, many Akatsuki ninjas also felt aggrieved.
Now we no longer have to endure it and our enthusiasm is very high.
"You guys come with me."
Kakuzu randomly selected a group of people and quickly separated from the main group.
"I'll leave that to you."
Yahiko pointed Konan in a direction.
"no problem."
Konan flapped her wings and flew up, with a group of Akatsuki ninjas following her.
Yahiko and the other two headed in three directions respectively. This time they were determined to capture all the Mist Ninjas sent by Karutagi Yagura into the Land of Rice.
"Where did this Xiao Ren go?"
"Why can't we find any trace?"
In an unknown deep forest within the borders of the Land of Rice, two Mist Ninja spies were moving forward.
One of them looked quite crazy. He was under a lot of pressure as he had no results every day.
"Who knows."
"Maybe they've already run away."
"I don't know why Mizukage-sama is so cautious?"
"If it were you, I would have just sent a large army in."
Another Mist Ninja took over the conversation, expressing dissatisfaction with Karatachi Yagura's arrangement.
"Shh~ Don't say such things."
"Is it possible for us to discuss the arrangements made by Mizukage-sama?"
Crazy Brother subconsciously looked around, which shows how much of a deterrent power Karuji Yagura holds in his heart.
"What are you afraid of? Mizukage-sama is not here."
"No matter how powerful he is, can he stay in the Land of Hot Springs and kill me?"
The dissatisfied brother did not restrain himself at all, and his words became more arrogant.
"Misfortune comes from the mouth."
"It's better to be careful."
Crazy brother means well, but if Lord Mizukage heard such words, he would be in great pain.
Just as the dissatisfied brother was about to speak, a strange voice sounded.
"That makes sense."
"Misfortune comes from the mouth, and your misfortune has come."
Yahiko suddenly appeared in front of the two men, slashed with a knife, and two heads flew into the sky.
"I will educate you on behalf of your Mizukage-sama."
"In your next life, remember to watch your mouth."
Yahiko casually shook off the blood on the knife and put the knife back into the sheath in a casual manner.
"Lord Xiaoying, we have dealt with three of them over there."
An Akatsuki nin came up to Yahiko and bowed to report the results of the battle.
"Keep searching."
Yahiko said and walked forward again.
This scene happened in every corner of the Land of Rice, and Kakuzu and Konan also gained something.
When night fell, all the Mist Ninjas in the Land of Rice were basically wiped out.
Only a few lucky small fish slipped away.
"I finally feel relieved today."
As soon as they met Nagato at the new camp, Yahiko patted him on the shoulder.
"There's no place for us to stay. What kind of corner did you find to hide in?"
Nagato couldn't help but feel amused. After all this time he had to find a place to camp.
"Don't mention it."
"If it weren't for those Mist Ninjas, would we be in this situation?"
It seemed like Konan hadn't completely let go of her anger yet, and she was still a little irritated when she heard Nagato's question.
"OK OK."
"Now you don't have to hide it anymore!"
Yahiko comforted Konan, he was now wishing that the Mist Ninja would attack him soon.
If Karuju Yagura doesn't come, he will not be polite.
“Then I’m still angry.”
Xiaonan pouted, the little girl was very angry.
No wonder all the Mist Ninjas who encountered her died miserably.
"Where's Nono?"
Yahiko didn't know how to respond to Konan for a moment, but Kakuzu remembered Nono who was missing.
"Yeah, where's Nono-nee?"
Konan then looked around and then looked at Nagato.
"It seems she is preparing medicine. Go find her."
Nagato pointed in a direction and Konan ran away.
She thinks that girls can empathize with each other more easily, and Nono should be able to understand her feelings.
"I heard you lost two hearts. Did you replace them?"
Kakuzu was a little uncomfortable with Nagato's sudden concern.
“Just made up for it today.”
What Kakuzu said was also true. After withdrawing from the Land of Hot Springs, this was the first time he took action today.
Although the Mist Ninja we encountered was of average strength, it was better to have them than not.
"That's good."
"I will help you repay the favor that Karajushi Yagura has done for you."
Although Nagato said this with a smile, the murderous intent in his words could no longer be concealed.
......
