Chapter 298： harbinger of war

It’s August!

It’s actually August!

Before heading to the Land of Rain, it was only June, and I still felt that I had plenty of time to prepare for the cross-country trip.

Who would have thought that returning from the Country of Rain to the Country of Fire would be delayed for half a month because of the Uzumaki clan's secrets!

From Uchiha Shisui, "Meng" learned that the passage of time is completely different from what he imagined. It is naturally impossible to say that there is no change in the cross-country heart.

  Before going to the Uzumaki clan's secret hideout, Off-road had never thought about exploring a secret. It would take half a month, which made Off-road feel very uncomfortable.

However, with every gain there must be a loss.

Being able to obtain the Yin Escape inheritance of the Uzumaki clan in the secret of the Uzumaki clan and making progress in physical skills, even though I was very uncomfortable in my heart, it only took a little time for me to adjust myself. mentality, preparing to face the crisis that is coming.

The crisis is the battle of the nine tails in the original plot!

The horrific battle in which the Fourth Hokage and Uzumaki Kushina fell!

Based on the understanding of the plot of the original work, Cross Country knew early on that the original protagonist Naruto Uzumaki was born in October. Therefore, with nearly two months of preparation time, the cross-country trip back to Konoha Village will be about experiencing the battle of the Nine-Tails in person. Joining hands with the Fourth Hokage, Uzumaki Kushina will have another head-to-head confrontation with Madara.

The reason why Cross Country felt so uncomfortable before was undoubtedly the only two months left.

After experiencing the incident in the Kingdom of Rain, Cross Country suddenly realized that he was still too immature compared to Madara.

Let’s talk about the incident in the Kingdom of Rain!

The role that cross-country plays in it is at most a relatively out-of-the-box chess piece. Although it interferes with some of Ban Ye's plans, it still cannot completely stop Ban Ye's plans.

Had Yahiko not still been alive and founded an organization called "Dusk"...

ha!

Off-road felt like he was completely defeated in the game between himself and Madara in the Land of Rain!

Fortunately, Yahiko is still alive, giving him some confidence in cross-country.

Otherwise, we will have to face such a terrifying existence like Madara in two months. Off-road, if we want to save the Fourth Hokage, Uzumaki Kushina, we really have no confidence at all.

Then, in front of Uchiha Shisui, "Meng" calmed down. On the one hand, Cross Country silently prepared for the Nine-Tails Battle two months later. On the other hand, he looked at Uchiha Shisui, "Meng" "I didn't expect it to take two whole months to return from the Country of Rain to the Country of Fire, and I didn't even feel it."

“By the way, Shun, Meng, why did you reorganize the Blade Team?”

“Is it because of the changes in the Kingdom of Rain, or what happened in the village?”

“Shadow, it seems that your journey back to the Land of Fire was very difficult! You didn’t collect any information at all!”

When Cross Country asked a question, Meng, who was hidden under the ANBU mask, smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it looks like you were seriously injured not long ago. It is basically impossible to collect information. Anyway, those things are in the village. It’s not a secret anymore, so I’ll make an exception and tell you directly.”

“Shadow, do you know? We in the Fire Nation...”

“There may be a war with the Kingdom of Thunder!”

“What? The Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Thunder are at war?”

Learning the inside story from “Meng”, it’s impossible not to be shocked by the off-road experience!

You must know that a war between the Fire Country and the Thunder Country is not as simple as a war between the Leaf Village and the Cloud Ninja Village!

If "Meng" said that the Konoha Village and the Cloud Ninja Village were about to go to war, knowing that the plot time was still stuck at the end of the Third War, Cross Country knew that there must be a battle between the Konoha Village and the Cloud Ninja Village, so naturally there shouldn't be too much shock. .

But if the Kingdom of Fire really wants to go to war with the Kingdom of Thunder, there will be too many things involved.

How does the name of the kingdom of the fire in the country just think, the off -road is not very well understood, not to mention the name of the country with the same ambitions.

On the other hand, Uchiha Shisui next to him looked at Yuchi's astonished expression and felt quite deeply touched.

Immediately, Uchiha Shisui patted Cross Country's shoulder hard, and sighed: "Kage, you heard it right, the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Thunder are indeed preparing to go to war."

“Furthermore, the reason for the war this time is not that the daimyo of the Land of Fire prepared to go to war, but the Fourth Hokage proposed it.”

"Some time ago, intelligence came from the Kingdom of Rain, saying that the Cloud Ninja Village was secretly peeping at the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, which made the entire Hyuga clan panic. They sent people to the Fourth Hokage many times, hoping to get help from the Fourth Hokage. Seek help from Hokage-sama."

"But who would have thought? The Fourth Hokage would be so radical and ready to directly provoke a war between two countries!"

"We reorganized the Blade Team, which is actually what the Fourth Hokage meant."

“On the one hand, the mission of our sharp blade team is to survey the border of the Land of Fire to see if the disappearance has been leaked.”

“On the other hand, Shadow, we’re here for you!”

After hearing what Uchiha Shisui said, Cross Country frowned slightly and asked, "For me?"

“That’s right, it’s just for you.”

Shaking his head slightly, "Meng" also didn't understand why the Fourth Hokage was preparing to let the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Thunder launch a full-scale war, and then explained to Cross Country the reason why the Fourth Hokage was looking for him: "The Fourth Hokage-sama" His wife is the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, Kage, you must know it, right? The Fourth Hokage's wife will give birth soon, and I heard that this is the period when the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki is at his weakest."

"Unfortunately, the Fourth Hokage had to pay attention to the war between the Land of Fire and the Land of Thunder, and his wife, so the Fourth Hokage really couldn't be distracted. Therefore, the Fourth Hokage begged the Third Hokage to help take care of him. My wife, please take the opportunity to find people you and Kakashi trust more to protect Kushina-sama who has become weak due to childbirth."

“So that’s it.”

It is clear why the Fourth Hokage sent people to look for him. Even though Cross Country himself is very clear about it, the reason why the Fourth Hokage is looking for him may not be as simple as "Meng" said.

However, thinking that the Fourth Hokage still cares about him and still regards himself as a person he can trust, the original rift between Cross Country and the Fourth Hokage has undoubtedly become much smaller.

Then, after receiving sufficient information from Uchiha Shisui and "Meng", knowing that his companions from the Blade Team might not be able to **** him back to Konoha Village, Cross Country bid farewell to his companions from the Blade Team and embarked on the journey alone. On the way back to Konoha Village.

This time, I felt so anxious about returning to Konoha Village cross-country, and it was far from the relaxed mood I felt when I returned to Konoha Village last time.

Because, off-road, who is familiar with the plot of the original work, obviously knows more things than Uchiha Shisui, "Meng".

Furthermore, Off-Road also knows that the Fourth Hokage’s “radicalism” that was not included in the original plot is likely to lead to even more terrifying results!

Just imagine it!

 out out out?

In the original plot, the Leaf Village was able to defeat the Cloud Ninja Village tragically by relying on the remaining power from its peak period.

But after the two countries declared a full-scale war, Yun Ninja Village ignored the future and prepared to fight to the death with Konoha Village. Is it possible that the final result will be Konoha Village's tragic victory?

Imagining the future, completely stepping into an uncontrollable trajectory, Cross Country felt a hot flame burning in his heart, urging him to return to Konoha Village as soon as possible.

But a few days later, when the main entrance of Konoha Village once again came into view off-road, the irritability that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time disappeared in an instant!

Because, just when Cross Country had just returned to the main entrance of Konoha Village and was about to step in and go to Danzo Shimura to report on the mission of the Country of Rain, a very familiar figure who made Cross Country feel reliable suddenly appeared in front of him. Beside cross-country.

That figure who is extremely familiar and can make off-roading feel reliable is the current leader of the Nara clan!

The uncle of off-roading, Shikaku Nara!

“After traveling cross-country, are you finally willing to go home?”

“Come home with me for dinner!”
