Chapter 645: The Influence of the Second Ninja God

 Chapter 645 The Influence of the Second Ninja God

“We were originally fighting against the Iwagakure troops led by Huang Tu, but suddenly a mysterious man wearing a black robe with a three-magatama Sharingan rushed out..."

Mu Yue focused on what happened to them today.

Mu Yue did not go into details about the battle process, but just said that this ninja who seemed to be Uchiha Madara was very good at fire escape, and then briefly described Susanoo's body shape.

"Uchiha Madara, could it really be this guy?" Even though Mu Yue was the one reporting, Jiraiya's first reaction was still doubt.

Because this news is really inconsistent with common sense.

The person who originally brought the news of Uchiha Madara's death was the first generation Hokage Senju Hashirama, the God of Ninja. It was Senju Hashirama who said personally that he had killed Uchiha Madara.

Can Senju Hashirama lie? As a Konoha ninja, Jiraiya felt that there was no need for Senju Hashirama to lie.

Senju Hashirama does not need to use lies to increase his fame and achievements, he is already at the top.

So Senju Hashirama deliberately let Uchiha Madara go. He didn't want Uchiha Madara to be chased by Konoha, so he said he killed Uchiha Madara?

It is also unlikely that Madara Uchiha originally made harsh words to destroy Konoha. For Hashirama Senju, who is the Hokage, this is an unforgivable crime.

Take Jiraiya himself as an example, even if Tsunade said she wanted to destroy Konoha and walked to the opposite side of Konoha, when the task was given to him, he would reluctantly kill Tsunade.

This is not because Tsunade is not important to him, but that Konoha is more important to him than himself than anything else.

Jiraiya didn't believe that Senju Hashirama, who founded Konoha, would be inferior to him in his love for Konoha.

But when Jiraiya thought about it carefully, if this Uchiha was not Madara Uchiha, there seemed to be no one else.

Even if Mu Yue didn't talk about the fighting process, Jiraiya could tell from Mu Yue's somewhat embarrassed look that his opponent was not simple.

There is absolutely no such strong person in the Uchiha clan in Konoha now.

"Muyue, let me take a look at the body." Jiraiya thought for a while and said.

He has never seen Uchiha Madara in person, but he has seen portraits.

Mu Yue nodded, took out the scroll and released Uchiha Madara's body. A Fei's body had been stripped off by him in advance.

Looking at the face full of wrinkles and saggy skin, Jiraiya was stunned for a moment.

This was too old, and he couldn't see that this was the Uchiha Madara who could compete with the God of Ninja.

However, Jiraiya did not immediately deny the identity of the corpse. Being so old and beating Mu Yue into such a mess further proved his strength.

"Let me report to the senior management, Mu Yue, you should not lead the team out for operations recently." Jiraiya turned his eyes from the corpse to Mu Yue and said.

No matter who this body is, one thing is certain now, there are forces in the dark staring at Konoha.

Mu Yue nodded.

He and his disciples have gained a lot this time. It will be better if they take more rest to sort out the harvest and adjust their condition.

…

Ten minutes after Mu Yue and the others withdrew, several Yangakure quietly came to this badly destroyed battlefield.

They were the team left behind by Loess to investigate the situation. After watching the blue giant disappear from a distance, they felt that the battle might be over, so they came to investigate the situation.

When the Iwagakure saw the situation on the battlefield, they all gasped.

The surface is covered with potholes of varying depths and sizes, some even more than a hundred meters wide, like the footprints left by giant beasts.

The Iwagakure walked on this shocking battlefield, where rocks and soil were mixed, forming rugged obstacles. Vegetation torn apart by powerful forces was scattered everywhere, and dead branches and leaves were covered with a thick layer of ash. , recording the ruthless raging of flames.

Then they saw the charred narrow ravine and the green flames that were still burning on the ground.

"Is this the kind of damage that humans can cause? Those two guys are exaggerating." Iwagakure couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw the traces of battle on the battlefield.

Although I did not witness the battle between Mu Yue and Uchiha Madara with my own eyes, just looking at the traces of the battle, I can tell that strong is not enough to describe them, they are simply monsters.

"It's impossible to tell which side won based on these alone." Iwagakure Jonin frowned slightly.

Mu Yue and Uchiha Madara are too strong. It is unclear whether Uchiha Madara is an enemy or a friend, but Mu Yue from Konoha Ninja is definitely Iwagakure's enemy.

If Mu Yue wins, then Iwagakure will either retreat and wait for support, or return directly to the Land of Earth.

It is impossible for them to deal with the Konoha ninja army with the few people they currently have in the Land of Grass. Mu Yue alone can surround a thousand-level ninja army, and Jiraiya is not easy to deal with.

If Uchiha Madara wins, then this may be a perfect opportunity for Iwagakure to take action.

"Captain, it seems that there are no corpses of Konoha ninjas here. Instead, there are the corpses of our Iwagakure ninjas." After a search, an Iwagakure ninja reported his findings to the Iwagakure jounin.

Iwagakure Jōnin's frown deepened. This was not good news. It was basically certain that Konoha's side had won.

Because if Uchiha Madara wins, there is no reason for him to just deal with the bodies of Konoha ninjas alone, leaving Iwagakure alone.

"Continue searching." Iwagakure Jōnin ordered.

Konoha's victory does not mean that Muyue will definitely win, it may be that they will die together, or they may both retreat together after losing.

Then they discovered some traces of the Konoha team's evacuation, proving the fact that many Konoha ninjas survived.

Half an hour later, after no clues could be found, the Iwagakure Jonin led the team back to the Iwagakure troop camp and reported the situation to Loess and Rishi.

"Did Hanyu Muyue win? Or was it the mysterious man in black robe?" Huang Tu asked quickly.

"The existing information cannot determine which side will win, but there is a high probability that Hanyu Mugetsu will win."

Iwagakure Jōnin told what he saw on the battlefield.

Loess and Split Rock each asked Iwagakure Jonin a few questions. After answering, Iwagakure Jonin left the camp in a wise manner.

"Senior Split Stone, I think we need to retreat to the western border." Huang Tu expressed his thoughts.

That Susanoo, who was over eighty meters tall, left a deep impression on him.

Even though he could defeat such a terrifying enemy, and he also mastered the extremely large-scale Wood Release Ninjutsu, Huang Tu could not imagine how much role Mu Yue could play in a large-scale war.

"Indeed." Split Rock nodded.

In the past, Riishi had only wanted to make further achievements and become a senior member of Iwakakure. However, since he was severely injured and nearly died by Jiraiya last time, he has become less interested in progress.

Now Split Rock feels that it is more important to stay alive. After all, he is not a high-level official and he is considered successful at the moment.

After confirming the retreat, Rishi contacted Iwagakure to ask for instructions from the Tsuchikage.

Retreating to the western border of the Country of Grass is something they can decide on their own, but whether to withdraw from the Country of Grass or continue to attack the border of the Country of Fire is something that can only be decided by the top management of Tsuchikage and Iwagakure.

Onoki, who was in the Land of Earth, quickly began to check the contents after receiving the frontline intelligence.

After reading half of it, Onoki put down the information and checked it again and again before confirming that it was urgent and important information sent from the front line, rather than a draft of some ninja novel.

"Hanyu Mugetsu has mastered the Wood Release, and can release the Wood Release that creates a forest in an instant. The mysterious black-robed man breaks into the battlefield to attack the Konoha troops, and can also release Susanoo with a height of more than 80 meters..."

Onoki crossed his fingers and placed his elbows on the desk, showing expressions of surprise, confusion, and worry.

Due to a special experience, he was familiar with Susanoo's ability and knew that it was the ability of the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

Susanoo's attack on Konoha's troops, isn't it the same as the Uchiha ninja's attack on Konoha? This is another coup for the Uchiha clan?

The coup should not be aimed at external troops, nor should it be targeted at high-level officials.

Ohnoki analyzed it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was going on in Konoha.

"But what's going on with Hanyu Muyue? He actually mastered the Wood Release, and his strength has grown by leaps and bounds."

Ohnoki didn't dwell on why the black-robed Uchiha attacked Mu Yue for too long. Now he wanted to know what Mu Yue was like.

Although the previous Mu Yue was also excellent beyond ordinary people, he was still within the limits of common sense. Ohnoki could regard him as another Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This time was different, Mu Yue not only became stronger and stronger, but also showed an extremely powerful Wood Release.

Even the mysterious black-robed man who Huang Tu thought could easily destroy the thousand-level ninja army might have been defeated by Mu Yue.

"Is Konoha going to produce another Senju Hashirama?" Onoki's expression became very ugly.

He would rather have two more Sarutobi Hiruzen in Konoha than another Senju Hashirama in Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is very strong, but Ohnoki feels that with a team of elites, he can definitely kill Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If the opponent is replaced by Senju Hashirama, then Onoki can only say that someone will die, but it will definitely not be Senju Hashirama.

Ohnoki has never fought against Senju Hashirama head-on, but he has fought against Senju Hashirama's defeated general Uchiha Madara. Onoki was still very young at that time, and went to Konoha with his teacher Nidaime Tsuchikage to discuss the alliance, but was beaten up by Uchiha Madara.

That battle is still unforgettable for Onoki. He and the teacher were no match for Uchiha Madara. Uchiha Madara maintained a contemptuous expression throughout the whole process and did not even look at them seriously.

Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama have shown a qualitative change in strength. In front of such strong men, numbers lose their meaning.

For them, destroying a thousand-man ninja force is just a matter of using a few ninjutsus.

"Restore the cracked stone and let them temporarily station at the western border." After thinking for a while, Ohnoki called the Iwagakure Anbu and ordered.

"In addition, let him send a team to conduct investigation to determine Hanyu Mozuki's status, whether he is dead or alive, in good condition or seriously injured."

If Hanyu Mugetsu is seriously injured, then Onoki is willing to trade the Iwagakure troops of the Land of Grass in exchange for Mugetsu's life.

If another Senju Hashirama appeared in Konoha, the harm to Iwagakure would not be comparable to that of two thousand ninja troops.

During the period when Senju Hashirama was Hokage, the shinobi world had long-term peace and no war because Senju Hashirama wanted peace.

When he had a choice, Onoki didn't want to gamble on Mu Yue's character. Ninjas like Senju Hashirama were too rare.

"In addition, to activate the spies from the Country of Fire, I need the latest battle situation in Konoha, as well as the situation in Konoha Village." Onoki continued.

He still wanted to know if there was anything wrong with the Uchiha clan.

If Konoha fell into civil strife at this time, he might be able to use Mu Yue's information to unite other ninja villages to besiege Konoha.

There is a big difference between a separate attack and a truly joint attack.

Now they are also attacking Konoha, but this does not mean that they are allies. On the contrary, Kumogakure and Iwagakure are also at war.

If given the chance, Onoki would give Kumo Gakure a hard blow without hesitation.

Signing a covenant to jointly attack is different. You don't have to worry about exposing flaws during the attack.

Ohnoki felt that other great ninja villages did not want a second Senju Hashirama to appear in Konoha.

Without Senju Hashirama, they can still be regarded as the same level of power. With Senju Hashirama, Konoha's actual strength is that of a super great ninja village, not a great ninja village.

…

The Country of Fire, Konoha Village.

Hokage's office.

"Sandaime-sama, this is the information that just came from the battlefield of Grass Country." Anbu Hui reported.

Hearing that it was the battlefield of the Land of Grass, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled slightly.

He felt that this was most likely good news, because Mu Yue had recently gone to the battlefield of Grassland to support Jiraiya.

After seeing the specific content of the intelligence, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression turned from shock to seriousness.

Strictly speaking, this was indeed good news, but it wasn't the kind of good news he imagined.

Boom boom.

"Uchiha Madara..." Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the wooden desk.

The last words and clues left by Shimura Danzo made him think that Uchiha Madara might have left an heir.

But the information coming from the Country of Grass revealed that the Uchiha ninja Mu Yue killed was not the heir, but suspected to be Uchiha Madara himself.

So will the "Uchiha Madara" who caused trouble in the death incident of Danzo Shimura be the same person as the Uchiha Madara who was killed by Mugetsu?

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that it was probably the same person.

Since Madara Uchiha would attack Danzo Shimura, it was only natural for him to attack Mu Yue.

Now Mu Yue can really be called the "future of Konoha". If Mu Yue were to die, it would be a huge loss to the entire Konoha.

As for whether the ninja Mu Yue killed was the real Uchiha Madara, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no way of judging.

Unlike people like Jiraiya who had only heard of it, Sarutobi Hiruzen even saw with his own eyes the tragic situation in the Valley of the End not long after the battle.

Logically speaking, Uchiha Madara shouldn't be alive.

But this is the reality. Coupled with how powerful Uchiha Madara was, Sarutobi Hiruzen now feels more and more that Senju Hashirama may have missed the point and did not really kill Uchiha Madara.

"It would be nice if we were at the scene of the battle."

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew Uchiha Madara's chakra, and if he were at the scene, he would definitely be able to recognize the other party's identity.

"Let Jiraiya not act rashly for the time being and send a reconnaissance team to observe the reaction of the Iwagakure troops." Sarutobi Hiruzen called the ANBU and ordered.

He really wanted to see Uchiha Madara's body with his own eyes, but now was not a good time.

It wasn't safe enough to let the other ninjas return the body to Konoha, and Jiraiya and Mu Yue couldn't get away for the time being.

After transferring Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen was worried that something might happen to Mu Yue. If Mu Yue was transferred, something might happen to the border defense line.

Due to Uchiha Madara's surprise attack, Iwagakure most likely already knew information about Mu Yue's strength.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to know what choice Iwagakure would make. If Iwagakure retreated, then he would transfer Muzuki back.

If Iwagakure increases his troops and continues the war, Sarutobi Hiruzen will personally lead the troops to support Mu Yue and strive to defeat Iwagakure at once.

Now that they have a large number of Kirigakure prisoners, Kirigakure Village will most likely agree to sign a peace treaty.

If we only faced Iwagakure and Kumogakure at the same time, Konoha would not be very weak now.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the ninja world suddenly became a little strange.

Kirigakure in the southeastern battlefield of the Land of Fire was defeated and captured, and the Iwagakure troops in the battlefield of the Land of Grass withdrew to the border of the Land of Earth.

Konoha, which was originally full of war, suddenly became quiet. Only Kumogakure of Yuno Country was still fighting against the ninja troops led by Orochimaru.

This made Sunagakure, who was ready to eat melons, a little confused, why he suddenly stopped fighting.

Because Mu Yue solved the southeastern battlefield too quickly, let alone the other ninja villages, the Kirigakure Village didn't know that Goju Yagura had been defeated and captured until Konoha came to ask for peace talks.

The Third Mizukage was extremely speechless. He originally wanted to use the Country of Waves as a hub to prepare reinforcements of a thousand ninja troops for Gotachibana Yagura. However, before the reinforcements were fully in place, Gotachibana Yagura disappeared silently. .

The Third Mizukage didn't even know why Gotachibana Yagura was defeated. He had clearly defeated the ninja troops led by Konoha's top brass before.

Even the third generation Mizukage regarded Gotachi Yagura as his successor, and this time he was very dissatisfied with Gotachi Yagura.

Although Goju Yagura was defeated last time, the loss was not particularly large. Except for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, there was only one Jinchuuriki who could not control the tailed beast well.

This time, most of the ninja troops, including Goju Yagura himself, were captured. It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire army was annihilated.

"What do you think of the peace talks proposed by Konoha?" The Third Mizukage looked at the senior management of Kirigakure and asked.

The senior management of Kirigakure looked at each other, and no one dared to speak for a while. Even Yuanshi looked deep in thought.

There is no way, this peace treaty is really a hot potato.

I agree, Kirigakure not only has no way to take revenge, but also has to compensate Konoha, which is very embarrassing.

If you want to refuse, there are thousands of Kirigakure prisoners in Konoha.

These thousands of ninjas basically cover the entire relationship network of Kirigakure Village. If the refusal of peace talks causes Konoha to jump over the wall and kill all the prisoners, Kirigakure will be in chaos for a while even if there is no major civil strife.

Even if nothing else is said, these thousand ninjas themselves are a powerful force.

The Third Mizukage was a little dissatisfied. Just when he wanted to say something, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.

"Come in." The Third Mizukage said calmly.

Kirigakure Anbu walked into the conference room, quickly came to the side of the Third Mizukage, and whispered: "Sandaime-sama, Iwagakure sent by Ōnoki has arrived in our village."

"Iwagakure?" The Third Mizukage felt a little strange.

Although Kirigakure and Iwagakure are not at war now, the relationship between their two villages is not good.
