Chapter 259 The temptation to return to the village

I'm not trying to pull you down, but to be honest, Naruto seems to listen to Sasuke more than Hinata.

"Let's go to that Turtle Island... or Island Turtle? Anyway, it's for training, right? In ten days at most, I will master the power of the tailed beasts, and then I will compete with you again!" He was so proactive that it was hard to look at him.

"Don't slack off, and don't let me down." Sasuke's increasingly proficient Rinnegan could bring significant pressure just by looking at it.

"Hehe... Captain Yamato, let's get ready to go!"

Therefore, the "Konoha Ecological Investigation Team" has not yet been established, and the "Pre-battle Training Team" composed of the original team successfully took over the body, and the purpose was still to ensure that the two Jinchūriki stayed away from the battlefield.

Kakashi was assigned to lead the third unit, responsible for close and medium-range protracted combat.

By the way, was there something wrong with the lack of blue prison cards for a protracted war? It was hard not to suspect that Uncle Shikaku from the General Staff was targeting him.

"We will discuss the rest after we return to the coalition headquarters. Now Hanabi and I will send everyone from the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind back respectively. Please quickly arrange for the village's defense and daily affairs, and gather your manpower."

"Just in case, I need to confirm whether the main battlefield is really at the western border of the Land of Lightning?" Ohnoki crossed his fingers in front of his nose.

"The enemy has the information that the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki is still in the Land of Lightning. And now that Konoha has been destroyed, both the enemy and us will think of hiding the only two remaining Jinchūriki together and concentrating our manpower to protect them."

There is not enough force in the entire ninja world to fight against Madara, so it is natural that they will enter into a war of open play.

"The enemy is not short of elite troops, but they are also short of a large number of miscellaneous soldiers (100,000 White Zetsu). Even if we have an intelligence advantage, it does not mean that the war will go smoothly."

"Okay, let's get going."

...

Halfway to Iwagakure Village in the Land of Earth.

The "eggshell airliner" made of several truth-seeking jades can accommodate the Tsuchikage and his party with considerable space...

And Lao Zi.

"Why do I have to go back with this stubborn old man?" The equally stubborn old monk complained all the way.

It fits the stereotype of monks in Journey to the West.

"Now, Brother Monkey... no, the Four Tails is in the belly of the Outer Path Golem. It may be sleeping or in confusion. You will need to wake it up when the time comes." Luo Yi answered.

"I thought that for you, a Jinchūriki who possesses a tailed beast still has value in protection, but a Jinchūriki who loses a tailed beast has to contribute his combat power." Ohnoki seemed to have some grudge, and his words were full of thorns.

Nine times out of ten it’s because…

"Mr. Tsuchikage, could it be that my partner, Deidara, who was sent back to you, is causing trouble again?" With the war approaching, let's speak frankly.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to tell me this." To Ohnoki, this was a case of bringing up something irrelevant. "After meeting Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame, I understand. That cat-like guy is also your undercover agent in the Akatsuki organization, right? How much of Akatsuki have you infiltrated?"

"Not much," Luo Yi didn't say. The nominal leader and his wife were also here. "You haven't told me what Deidara did after returning to Iwagakure."

"Tsk... okay, okay, they say that family disgrace should not be made public, but since your Konoha was destroyed first, I won't hide it..."

So Luo Yi heard that after Pian Yi airdropped Deidara back to Iwagakure, Luo Di left hundreds of self-destructive clay clones to celebrate the New Year in Tsuchiya Village in advance in order to escape from the only mentor he feared.

No wonder I heard that there was frequent "rock rain" in the Land of Earth a while ago. It turns out it was caused by artificial rainfall.

"It sounds like... he's still quite naughty. Don't you even discipline him properly?" Luo Yi couldn't hold back.

Isn't this the same as in the original work, where after Deidara died, he was resurrected by Kabuto and continued to cause explosions everywhere?

"How can I manage it!" Talking about his disciples, Ohnoki was like a chattering old man at the entrance of the village, "If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. After seeing Deidara's troubles, I wonder if Akagi and Kurotsuchi have been affected. One is obsessed with making clay dolls, and the other is keen on mixing ninjutsu and taijutsu..."

"Ah?" Is this how the saying is used?

Moreover, it turns out that in Bo's movie, Leg Shadow's embarrassing tactics against Jin Shi were a precedent. Does this count as a conclusion to the future world line?

Akagi and Kurotsuchi, who were present, scratched the back of their heads in embarrassment.

"As a ninja, you are excellent; but as a teacher, you... are unqualified." Lao Zi commented mercilessly.

"Hmph." Oonoki found it difficult to refute.

"So he is now..." Luo Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hesitated to speak. It was not possible that he would see the Hidden Rock Village with meteorite craters all over the ground in a short time.

"It's all right now. Your companion still had a conscience. He left a scroll before he left, saying that if the problem couldn't be corrected, he could use it. Now Deidara doesn't make explosions everywhere, but just makes more and more clay animals and people."

I see. It’s a simple and crude illusion.

Deidara's confidence in resisting "Tsukuyomi" caused him to be unaware of himself after being hit by the "Scroll of Moonlight". He was immersed in the illusion that art was an explosion, and created more and more sturdy and durable clay handicrafts for the villagers.

I wonder how Scorpio would feel when he knew this.

As expected, after arriving at Iwagakure Village, the clay armored dolls stationed at the entrance of the village are eye-catching.

Will it explode if I get closer?

"It's okay. The chakra stored inside is all used to maintain power. There's no way to detonate it." Kurotsuchi saw his hesitation, "Hard clay that has lost power is a good choice as a raw material for protective gear or weapons.

This is where your inspiration came from, right? 15 years later, you used the "Rock Fist" on Jinshiki, and then you were slapped away by a palm.

"This, isn't this good? It liberates and develops productivity and allows us to enter the era of mechanization and intelligence ahead of schedule." Luo Yi couldn't think of any reason why the old man was being upset.

"It broke down because Master pondered over it for several days, and it was finally solved by you guys." Chitu explained naively.

"Hmph." It seemed that Oonoki could only hum.

"I mean, is there a possibility that the scroll that the cat...man gave you is just a temporary expedient so as not to affect the upcoming war, rather than a real solution to the problem once and for all?" Luo Yi curved his eyebrows.

"Ah?" Oonoki couldn't hum anymore.

Then he quickly took out the scroll he had brought with him, opened it, and observed from a distance because of his presbyopia. "This transcription seal illusion is valid until October 10th... Isn't that next week!"

"That's great, Master. You always said that I can solve problems on my own without relying on outsiders. Now the opportunity has come." Chi Tuhan smiled and congratulated the old man.

Ohnoki: "..."

Could he refuse this opportunity?

...

Konoha Village.

Seeing everyone coming out of the portal, the friends who stayed in the village were stunned.

"Orochimaru..." Jiraiya couldn't believe his eyes.

"Orochimaru! Do you want to destroy Konoha again?" Hiruzen reacted faster and blocked the door of the tent with a whoosh. It had been a long time since Saruman's summoning technique had been used.

"Look at this miserable state. Does Konoha still need me to destroy it?" Orochimaru had to maintain the integrity of a villain even if he surrendered. "I heard that Tsunade fell, so I came to see her."

"How could I allow you..." Jiraiya responded instantly.

"Let him see that the current Orochimaru...ha, brother, really wants to help Senior Sister Tsunade." Luo Yi came forward to explain.

Jiraiya looked at him in confusion, then questioned Hiruzen with his eyes, and finally agreed after receiving his approval.

Inside the tent, Orochimaru saw Tsunade, who looked old. "At first I asked you to cure me, but you refused. Now you want me to cure you. Hehe, how are you going to repay this favor..."

Bad, but also a tsundere.

"Teacher, what do you think about the reunion of the "Hiruzen Class"? " Luo Yi leaned against the tent pillar and looked at the third-generation old man with a smile on his face.

"Hmm... I'm craving a cigarette." Hiruzen yawned artificially and rubbed his eyes.

the other side.

"Sa-Sasuke, why are you back!" Sakura's hands were shaking so much that they scared the patient waiting in the operating room, "Didn't you reject Naruto..."

"I refused to 'go back to the village with him', but I didn't say I wouldn't 'go back to the village by myself'." Sasuke joked in a very relaxed manner.

"But, didn't the Acting Hokage say..." Sakura tried for a while, but still couldn't say the word traitor.

"Danzo will explain this later. Now work hard and don't keep the patient waiting too long."

"Uh…Ouch!"
