Chapter 106 The Fallen Heroes of Konoha

As the signal of retreat was passed to every Konoha ninja, the main battlefield between Kumogakure and Konoha has now moved to the direction of Konoha Street.

Only in this forest in the suburbs, there are still two Konoha ninjas besieged by dozens of Kumogakure ninjas.

Although the number of enemies and ourselves is seriously disproportionate, the power on the scene is basically equal.

Konoha's blue beasts burst out with a terrifying combat power that is rarely seen on weekdays, and compete with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and hundreds of Kumogakure ninjas.

The blue afterimage flickered in the air, bursting the Eight Gates of Dunjia to the seventh gate. Every punch and kick of Akai brought extremely terrifying bonuses. One punch collapsed the ground and one kick cracked the mountain. It was not an empty talk.

Although the Kumogakure Village is also good at physical skills, the fourth generation Raikage Ai's strongest lightning armor is even faster and invulnerable to swords and guns, but unfortunately, he is not here at this time, and there is no physical ninja who can really fight against Akai at the scene. The only top-notch Killer Bee has even been beaten into the tailed beast form at this time.

If he didn't do this, he would be kicked to death by Akai.

His original concerns were thrown out of his mind. His whole body was bright red and he was furious, but he still couldn't catch Akai who was moving at high speed.

"Konoha Goriki Whirlwind!"

With a bang, a Kumogakure ninja who tried to get close to Kakashi was kicked away by Akai.

"Oops..."

Kakashi couldn't help but "tsk". How did Akai fail at the critical moment? He could deal with this enemy by himself...

Sure enough, all the Kumogakure ninjas seemed to see the answer to the test question, and their eyes lit up immediately.

They couldn't catch Akai, but they could catch Kakashi! !

Akai's previous attack on Killer Bee made all the Kumogakure ninjas around them swallow their anger and rescue Killer Bee first. After all, it goes without saying how important Killer Bee is, but now they are attacking Kakashi, but Akai is forced to turn back immediately to support. Obviously, in his heart, protecting Kakashi is much more important than taking down the Eight-Tails.

And this will also become the soft spot for Kumogakure to grasp him.

So the battle plan was immediately revised, and dozens of Kumogakure ninjas rushed towards Kakashi.

Kakashi fought and retreated, and with the help of Akai, he was still calm even when he was trapped.

But obviously, the Eight-Tails, who had taken a breath, had not yet joined the battle, and they could not always be so calm.

"How long can your seventh gate last?" Kakashi asked in a low voice, back to back.

"Don't worry, you will be fine, I still have the eighth gate." Akai looked quite unconcerned.

Kakashi was silent for a while. He also practiced the Eight Gates of the Ninja. He knew that the eighth gate of the Eight Gates of the Ninja was called the "Death Gate".

Yes, he would be fine.

But Akai would definitely die.

"No need..." Kakashi shook his head, "There is no need to use it here. You have to go back. There are more enemies on the Konoha side and the pressure is greater. I will attract the enemies here..."

"Kakashi." Akai suddenly interrupted him.

"Hmm?"

"What is the score of our match now?"

"30 to 31." It's not clear why Akai suddenly mentioned this, but Kakashi still said it after knocking down a Kumogakure ninja who came to attack.

"Ah, yes, you have one less point than me," Akai, with his hair standing upright and shining blue chakra all over his body, said proudly like a Saiyan, "How about I have a new competition now?"

"You say."

"Let's see whether this group of Kumogakure ninjas will take you down first, or I will take down the eight-tailed Jinchūriki on the opposite side first."

Kakashi pursed his lips: "Are you competing with me or with this group of Kumogakure ninjas?"

Akai, who suddenly realized the problem, scratched his head: "Oh, then, let's see if you can hold on under the attack of this group of Kumogakure ninjas until I take down the eight-tailed Jinchūriki."

"You don't have much chakra, so don't fall down halfway through."

"You are not allowed to use the Death Gate, otherwise it will not be glorious for me to win." Kakashi drew the bottom line.

"It's a deal."

"Don't worry, I will definitely win this time." The soldiers' ration pills in his body have begun to take effect, but considering the subsequent hard battle, Kakashi stuffed a few more into his body.

The two tilted their heads to look at each other, all smiled, and then suddenly separated.

Akagi punched Killer Bee with a day tiger.

Kakashi stayed where he was, welcoming the countless ninjutsu and ninja tools that were flying at him.

He clapped his hands on the ground:

"Earth escape·Earth flow wall!"

A dog-headed stone wall suddenly rose up, blocking all attacks.

Taking advantage of the gap, he looked in the direction of Akagi, who was grabbing Killer Bee's tail and smashing it on the ground crazily. Killer Bee was beaten to a pulp by him, but brown-red flesh began to grow on his body.

The Eight-Tails that is about to enter the complete tail beast transformation... Can Akagi really take it down?

Kakashi didn't know, but at this moment he couldn't use the Sharingan at all, so he could only choose not to drag his brothers down, and try to survive the attack of this group of Kumogakure ninjas!

...

"What is that?" Danzo frowned as he looked at the sudden noise in the forest.

Orochimaru closed his eyes, and within a moment, he slowly opened them again, his snake pupils emitting a strange light, and he said with a strange expression:

"It's Kakashi, and that... Might Dai."

"They worked very hard." Orochimaru praised, "They held back a lot of people."

"The order to retreat has been issued a long time ago. Those who have been fighting there until now think they are brave, but in fact they are just disobeying the order and showing off," Danzo snorted and said disdainfully, "It is the vocation of a ninja to execute orders. When I become Hokage, I will punish this group of rubbish who disregard orders and tasks as soon as possible!"

"Hokage-sama is really fair and selfless. Others will definitely think that Hokage-sama is extraordinarily broad-minded." Orochimaru nodded and expressed his approval.

Listening to Orochimaru's slightly sarcastic words, Danzo did not get angry. Instead, he shook his head and said calmly: "You have been away from Konoha for a long time. You don't understand that being a Hokage does not require the approval of the Jonin. The establishment of authority must require a target. With you as a filthy reincarnation, I am not afraid that no one under my command will be available..."

He didn't finish his words, but Orochimaru already understood what Danzo meant, and he shook his head slightly: "It's not that I want to shirk it, but the current dirty version is still a crude version, and it may not be worthy of Danzo-sama's reliance."

Orochimaru came to a standing coffin not far away. The coffin was wide open. Standing inside was the second-generation Hokage Senju Tobirama whose body was covered with cracks. At this time, Tobirama lowered his head and lowered his hands naturally, like A clay sculpture without any activity.

Orochimaru said calmly:

"The Earth Turn developed by Senju Tobirama-sama originally summoned human-shaped explosives used to hold the detonating talisman. It did not possess any of the power of the ninja during his lifetime, but because this technique insulted the dead, and A living person is needed as a carrier for the resurrection of the dead. Tobirama believed that this technique was not humane, so he classified it as a forbidden technique."

"Now, after my improvements, the current dirty land turning ninja can now give the summoned dirty soil turning ninjas with most of their original strength. The only drawback is that once controlled, it may cause my will and the dead to return to the pure land. The conflict with his will led to the active disintegration of the Earth Turn, which is why I must obtain the remains of the Konoha ninja."

"After all, although they don't want to be disturbed by the living, in order to protect Konoha, they will still take the initiative to maintain the existence of the dirty earth-turned body, although they can only exist for a short time."

Today's Earth Turn is still far from Orochimaru's ideal Earth Turn, especially since he cannot actively control the Earth Turn. Otherwise, it would conflict with the wishes of the deceased and cause the Earth Turn to disintegrate, which would be very difficult for Orochimaru. Accept it, because the soul of the summoned dead is not guaranteed to be in conflict with Orochimaru, or because of Orochimaru's interference, once he wakes up, Orochimaru, the caster, may be the one to do it first.

If Orochimaru had not been invited by Danzo to cooperate, he would have first studied how to maximize the power of the Earth Reincarnation while ensuring his control over the Earth Reincarnation. Instead of now summoning only Orochimaru himself, The heroic spirits of Konoha are not very controllable.

There is no way. Although Orochimaru has been studying this forbidden technique for a long time, and he has never relaxed his research even during the Akatsuki organization, the time is still too short. In order to ensure that the combat power of the dirty turn is enough to help Konoha survive the crisis, it is enough To help Danzo ascend to the position of Hokage, he could only pinch his nose, surrender control of the dirt turn to combat power, and then use the description of the current situation in Konoha to morally kidnap these Konoha heroes and let them actively contribute their own strength. .

That's their whole plan.

Danzo followed Orochimaru to the second Hokage Tobirama, stared at the other person's broken face, squinted his eyes, and didn't know what he remembered. He sighed softly, and took out a piece of intelligence intercepted in advance from his arms, Passed it to Orochimaru:

"Jiraiya's reinforcements will arrive in half an hour."

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then expressed a subtle expression: "Even without me, Konoha seems to be able to survive this crisis."

"If we just barely survive the crisis and block Kumogakure's attack, then Konoha will definitely be doomed!" Danzo slapped his crutches on the ground and said firmly, "If it weren't for the pressing war, when the selection of the next Hokage is so fierce, Konoha will inevitably fall apart."

"Sarutobi made a bad start. He gave up the position of Hokage, thinking that he could get the full support of the ninja clan of Konoha, but what he got was still just their hypocritical dealings. This group of people take these family inheritance seriously. How could a guy whose life is more important than his own be willing to be buried with his thousand-year-old family and Konoha, which is less than a century old?"

His voice was deep and deep, yet sonorous and powerful: "Konoha needs more than just surviving a crisis, but a great victory, a glorious victory forged with the blood of other ninja villages!!"

"Only in this way will people still trust Konoha, the ninja clan will choose to stay in Konoha, and Konoha will continue to be glorious!"

"Sarutobi cannot do this. He can only barely resist Kumogakure's attack at best."

"But we can try to destroy the entire Kumogakure."

Orochimaru fully recognized Danzo's ambition, which was also the basis for their cooperation.

When Danzo becomes Hokage and continues to promote the war, that means countless experimental materials, a huge number of turning containers, and many things that are difficult for him to collect alone, someone will take the initiative to give him Come on, this is instigating a ninja village and starting a war.

Moreover, the counterattack war has natural legitimacy for Konoha, which is besieged by the four major ninja villages.

Not to mention, in fact, Orochimaru really looks forward to Sarutobi's expression when he sees that he is the supporter behind Danzo.

Orochimaru noticed that Danzo's eyes always inadvertently glanced at Tobirama in the coffin, and he couldn't help but chuckled: "Before taking action, do you want to talk to him?"

"Prove to him that it was a mistake to choose Sarutobi as Hokage."

Danzo glanced at him, then slowly shook his head: "... No, no, it was right for Tobirama to choose Sarutobi."

"At that time, he was the only one who stood up the fastest, and he really... deserved it," Danzo's face was a little complicated, nostalgic, regretful, lamenting, and finally all kinds of emotions turned into a cold snort, "-but it was only at that time. After Minato's death, he should have taken the initiative to abdicate, instead of clinging to it, leading to the current crisis of Konoha!!"

Orochimaru didn't speak, just glanced at the time.

"How long will it take?" Danzo asked.

"Twenty minutes."

"That's enough. If we wait any longer, Jiraiya's vanguard will arrive. Now is the darkest moment for Konoha, and it is also the moment when they are most looking forward to the arrival of heroes - let's start."

Orochimaru nodded and turned to look at Kabuto Yakushi in the corner.

The latter nodded and pulled the lever behind him.

The light of chakra began to flicker, and the countless upright coffins piled in the pit began to vibrate.

Orochimaru stood on the platform, facing them, and began to slowly form seals.

Tiger

Si

Xu

Chen

It seemed that something strange was happening, and the vibrations became louder and louder, until finally, the lids of the coffins all exploded with a bang!

Kabuto Yakushi was shocked and excited.

In the coffins, hundreds of Konoha's elite ninjas who had passed away opened their eyes.

"Is the time up?" In the front, the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama slowly stepped out of the coffin. He shook his head, his body creaked, and he looked at Orochimaru with his orange-red eyes and asked calmly.

"Yes, as I said to you before, it's time to swing the sword at Kumogakure," Orochimaru said softly, "... just take revenge."

Tobirama smiled faintly: "You are very good to improve my technique to this extent."

He then looked at Danzo not far away: "You are also very good to attract such talents back..."

He changed his words, and I don't know what he remembered, with a cold snort: "Much better than the monkey!"

Danzo did not respond, but he had already stuck the crutches into the ground for five centimeters.

Kabuto on the side laughed softly.

You don't seem to care as much as you say... Danzo-sama.

"Where's my brother?" Tobirama looked around and didn't see Hashirama. "Is he not here?"

Orochimaru nodded: "Do you have any clues?"

Tobirama looked at Orochimaru strangely: "His soul is not in the Pure Land. I thought you had summoned him a long time ago."

Orochimaru frowned and shook his head: "No, I have never succeeded in summoning him..."

What happened?

Could it be that Hashirama has really resurrected again?

It's not possible that someone else has also improved the Impure World Reincarnation and summoned Hashirama back?

"Well, although it's a pity, it didn't work, so let's not waste it here," Tobirama shook his head. At this time, the Impure World Reincarnation still has a time limit. How long it can last depends entirely on the will of these Konoha ghosts.

He turned to face the other Konoha ghosts in the pit who were either confused, curious, or silent. Amidst the "Hokage-sama", "Tobirama-sama", "Second-generation Hokage-sama" and "Who are you", he waved his hand calmly.

"Let's go, Konoha's fallen heroes and incompetent younger generations need our help."

"Let's go now and crush those Kumogakure bastards!!"

...
