Chapter 182：

Jiraiya hangs around Flower Street every day and lives a carefree and carefree life.

Although Orochimaru is back, Tsunade has not met Orochimaru.

It is estimated that Tsunade still has a grudge against Orochimaru for using Hashirama's corpse for experiments.

Although on the surface nothing happened in Konoha, it was this eerie calm that made many people uneasy.

Before, Uchiha wanted to cut Danzo into pieces, but Danzo ran away, and Uchiha didn't even show the slightest sign.

As if this person is not important at all

Just like the calm before the storm, many ninjas are heartbroken.

But Itachi and Shisui went out, which made these people a little confused.

Unable to figure out Uchiha's true intentions.

…

And in the passage of time.

Xiao Nan suddenly arrived.

Xiamu was patrolling the snack street this day.

There is a lot of traffic in the snack street every day. Those who come to Konoha to entrust tasks or do business are all used to coming here to have something to eat.

Xia Mu felt like she was back in her own world.

Especially when I saw the word "China" written on many light signs. Xia Mu was even more confused.

How many years have you been here without realizing it?

Naruto was only five years old at that time, and now Naruto is about to graduate from the ninja school and is almost twelve years old.

Seven years.

The strange movement of the paper crane in his arms dragged Xia Mu back from his thoughts.

Xia Mu came to the forest and let the paper crane fly.

It didn't take long to find Xiao Nan.

When Natsuki saw Xiaonan, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xiaonan, for letting Danzo run away."

Konan shook his head: "Don't worry about Natsuki. As long as he is no longer in Konoha, you will always find opportunities to kill him in the future."

After speaking, he handed Natsuki a ring and a set of Akatsuki uniforms.

Xia Mu nodded. Since Xiaonan didn't care, he wouldn't worry about it.

What Xiaonan said makes sense. Danzo could not be killed before because Danzo was hiding in Konoha. To kill him, he had to go to Konoha Village.

Even though Xiaonan had an easy time coming here these two times, that was because the Uchiha clan was not within the detection range of Konoha Village.

Moreover, Natsuki also had Hinata as an ally, so he was able to blow up the Hokage Rock relatively easily last time.

Xia Mu first put away the clothes, and while taking the ring, he found that there was a blank word written on it. This is the one that should be given to Orochimaru.

Xiaonan said: "With this ring, it will be easier to contact you in the future."

Xia Mu picked it up, played with it, and put it away.

"Itachi and Shisui have already set off. Kumogakure has discovered Kirigakure's true identity and will start attacking soon. You must be prepared."

Xiaonan nodded: "I just wanted to tell you that Zeu has discovered Kumogakure's movements and is still encouraging us to intervene in this battle."

If Zetsu proactively encourages Nagato to intervene in this battle, it is possible that Obito has already been upgraded.

You might even want to start planning in advance.

"Judging from Zetsu's appearance, he probably wants to start planning in advance. Zetsu and Obito probably don't know that Sanbiiso is dead yet."

Konan said: "Nagato is going to go to Kirigakure in person to negotiate and host this mission."

Xia Mu subconsciously refused: "No."

"It's not appropriate for you and Nagato to go together. Others will never cherish someone who comes to your door automatically."

"As for the person who will be in charge of the mission over there."

Natsuki patted the uniform that Xiaonan just gave her: "Now you have a new member."

Xiaonan opened her eyes wide: "You want to go there?"

Xia Mu said nonchalantly: "Depending on the situation, it might be me, or I might send a shadow clone there."

Xia Mu was relatively safe in doing something, so Xiaonan agreed without asking any more questions.

"If there is such a tendency, it means that Obito's eyesight strength has increased a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have such confidence."

Xiaonan was also a little worried: "What do you mean?"

Natsuki paced back and forth and thought for a while.

Since Obito wants to collect tailed beasts in advance, it means that his dual divine power has been greatly improved, so now Nagato and Konan are in some danger.

"You must consider Obito and be prepared to fall out at any time."

After a pause, Xia Mu continued.

"What needs to be done still needs to be done. Kumogakure is too strong now. We must beat them hard so that they will not think of invading other countries at any time."

"Gather the people first. Kirigakure will ask for help later."

"I have met Terumi Mei before, and there was a hint in the letter that she might come to me if the battle goes against her, and I can do something about it then."

"If she doesn't come to me, you can recommend yourself."

"Then it's up to you."

Natsuki has always had a lot of ideas, and Xiaonan has always followed the good ideas.

"This is for you."

Xia Mu took out a rectangular box about twenty centimeters.

"Be careful with Obito at all times. He may have improved a lot this time. This war between Kumogakure and Kirigakure may also lead to Obito discovering clues."

"After the plan is implemented, it must be hidden immediately."

"If that doesn't work, use the ring to notify me at any time. This is for setting coordinates for you."

"I'll be able to find you once I open the box, so I can send someone to pick you up when the time comes."

Xiaonan put the box away solemnly.

"Have you ever thought about where to go after this battle?"

Xia Mu suddenly asked.

Xiaonan was a little dazed, and she didn't know whether to win or lose this battle.

It's easy to say anything if you win, but if you lose, can you save your life?

Where can I go if I can save my life?

"Have you ever thought about leaving a way out for you and Nagato?"

Xiaonan was a little confused and didn't understand what Xiamu meant.

Xia Mu took apart the paper crane Xiao Nan gave him.

He took out a pen from his body and handed it to Xiaonan...

…

Chapter 225 Raid and start the war

Kumogakure and Kirigakure started a war.

When Kumogakure sent out many spies before, some of the more sensitive forces noticed something was wrong.

But I didn't expect the war to break out so quickly.

It only took five days for Kumogakure to invade Kirigakure and then to gain a foothold.

When the major forces received the news, it was already five days later.

Two days ago, Kumogakure sent out several elite teams to collide with Kirigakure.

Kumogakure lost more than ten people, and Kirigakure also lost more than ten people. The two sides fought back and forth.

But after several rounds of testing, Kirigakure’s true identity was revealed.

Cloud Hidden suddenly used their trump card.

Kumogakure actually used two jinchūriki, the second-tailed warrior Bokuto and the eight-tailed Kirabi to forcefully land on the island.

The two of them formed a large team and launched a surprise attack on Kirigakure.

The jinchūriki serves as the sharp sword, and Kumogakure behind him sweeps up the rear.

Kirigakure was beaten back and forth, losing more than thirty people, including two elite jounin.

Kumogakure stood firm in an instant.

The transport ship at the rear, carrying about two hundred people of Kumogakure's vanguard, directly landed on the island.

Kirigakure did not expect that Kumogakure would suddenly use two jinchūriki. Not only did he lose a lot of men, but Kumogakure also gained a foothold.

According to Kumogakure's style, I'm afraid there will be a large number of Kumogakure landing operations in the future.

Terumi Mei was so worried that she didn't expect Kumogakure to directly send out the jinchūriki.

They can only hold Yunyin back on one hand and seek outside support at the same time.

In the next few days, Kirigakure began to break into pieces, and began to engage in guerrilla warfare with Kumogakure, without any direct confrontation with Kumogakure.

Continuously using various traps and taking advantage of geographical advantages, constantly slowed down Kumogakure's pace.

The location where Kumogakure is currently landing is on a small island outside the Twin Islands.

Every day, the remaining Kirigakure forces on the island behind are being cleared away.

Prepare to capture the twin islands behind, Jinze Island and Jinlian Island.

If this place is captured by Kumogakure, a bridgehead can be formed here to continuously connect with the teams behind.

Therefore, Kirigakure must defend these two islands.

Kumogakure determined the lack of high-level combat power in Kirigakure and divided the team into three teams, with two jinchūriki leading one team each.

The remaining team was led by Samui and Nozomi, and the other Kumogakure, followed by the two Jinchuuriki.

After landing on any of the Twin Islands, the team will finally build a stronghold on the island for the rest of the subsequent troops.

Behind Kumogakure, all the remaining spies were sent to the main roads of various countries to monitor the movements of other ninja villages at any time.

In particular, the movements of Iwagakure in the Land of Earth are the key targets of Kumogakure's monitoring.

With the news secretly blocked.

On Kumogakure's side, other personnel who had been mobilized to prepare for war had already boarded the ship and crossed the ocean under the leadership of Raikage.

This kind of news cannot be blocked for too long, but what Yunyin wants is a time difference.

…

"It seems Kirigakure doesn't have any trump cards. If this continues, they will just be struggling to death."

Yukito relaxed his body and stretched.

At the beginning of the fight, Yukito was quite cautious. After all, her identity was a Jinchuuriki. The main purpose was to catch him by surprise.

If you collide with the jinchūriki on the opposite side, you may lose everything.

As a result, Yumu and Kirabi have been forcibly landing on the island for several days, occupying the small islands outside one after another.

Although Kirigakure dispatched elite troops on these small islands, they were no match for the Jinchūriki.

Although these Kirigakure were more difficult to deal with, they only took some time.

As long as she finds her traces, there is basically no way to escape from her claws.

At first, they were afraid that Kirigakure might have an ambush, but after fighting for so many days, Kirigakure's Jinchuuriki didn't appear at all, and the other Kirigakure basically collapsed at the first touch.

It seemed that the news about Uchiha was indeed true.
