Chapter 183：

"It seems that you may not be needed in this war."

As he said this, Yukito looked at the three cloaked people next to him.

Underneath the cloak are three masks.

It was Itachi and Shisui, and there was another person, Yao Ye, who Shisui brought with him specially.

Shisui said calmly.

"It's just a victory in the first wave of battles. Next, Kirigakure will engage in guerrilla warfare. Kirigakure still has power that has not been revealed. Just be careful."

Yukito raised his head proudly: "As long as I am not a jinchuriki, unless the water shadow comes in person, there is no way to trap me."

Shisui nodded, noncommittal.

But what he was thinking in his heart was that Terumi Mei was probably looking for reinforcements everywhere now.

I just don’t know if the senior’s plan will go smoothly.

…

Uchiha clan land.

Thanks to Itachi's psychic skills, Natsuki already knew the first-hand news.

On the first day of the attack, Shisui, Itachi and Yoya arrived at the scene.

Natsuki also didn't expect Kumogakure to take such a risk and attack directly with two jinchūriki.

However, everything went well in the battle, and when Kirigakure was on the verge of collapse, the three of them did not take part.

They don't get involved in ordinary battles like this.

After all, he hadn't been discovered and could still be used as Kumo Hidden's trump card.

It was also because of Uchiha's reinforcements that Kumogakure dared to launch a surprise attack with two jinchūriki.

But the war is just beginning now.

After Kirigakure was taken advantage of by Kumogakure, why did he start to fight guerrillas instead of organizing people to confront him head-on?

It's because Kirigakure can no longer afford the loss.

Nowadays, Kirigakure is very lacking in terms of high-end combat power and mid-level combat power.

As a result, Kirigakure doesn't even dare to exchange money now.

Once this battle enters the attrition stage, Kirigakure's personnel will slowly be exhausted.

After that, more countries will want to come to the Water Country to get a piece of the pie.

Entering an endless loop, Kirigakure dies in the end, and the Kingdom of Water is divided.

Therefore, on the outer islands, there are only a small number of Kirigakure assassins to delay Kumogakure, and most of the Kirigakure have already concentrated on the Twin Islands.

The purpose is to block the enemy from the periphery and allow Kumogakure to fight them on the Twin Islands, which can reduce the pressure of Kirigakure's multi-line operations to a greater extent.

The other thing is to drag Yunyin here to facilitate his reinforcements.

Kirigakure Village.

Kirigakure's office.

Terumi Mei's eyes were bloodshot, and her expression was not only tired, but also anxious.

Because of Kumogakure's strong landing on the island.

All the forces in Kirigakure were shocked, and everyone began to panic.

Because Kumogakure landed on the island with two Jinchuuriki.

This was obviously done with a lot of money, and judging from the movements of Kumogakure's leading troops, it was obvious that there were larger troops behind them.

Under such strong external pressure, several forces in Kirigakure began peace talks.

Terumi Mei's management of Kirigakure in recent years has been noticed by everyone, even those who are not convinced by her personal strength.

I have to admit that Terumi Mei is not bad at this aspect.

If there is anyone who can lead everyone out of this predicament, it is Terumi Mei.

Now that Kirigakure has reached unity, as long as it survives this attack by Kirigakure, Terumi Mei's identity as leader will be recognized.

Terumi Mei also immediately agreed. After all, in her opinion, Kumogakure is coming this time fiercely. If he can't survive, Kirigakure will be gone. Whoever you like will be the Mizukage.

…

Chapter 226 Kirigakure asks for help

After Kirigakure’s internal problems are resolved.

Terumi Mei could finally concentrate on dealing with this war.

First of all, the first thing she did was to ask the major forces to release previously imprisoned Kirigakure criminals.

As long as they are not guilty of heinous crimes, let them all be released.

Let them enter the battlefield with sin-bearing bodies. As long as they kill enough enemies, any sin can be forgiven.

On the other hand, those who are still taking advantage of the situation in the Kingdom of Water at this time will be dealt with severely if caught.

Quickly eliminate the security problems in the Kingdom of Water.

At least we cannot let people's livelihood deteriorate again.

And Terumi Mei began to ask for help from the outside world.

The main targets for help are Konoha and Iwagakure, the two major forces.

Among them, the most ideal person to ask for help is Iwagakure.

After all, Iwagakure and Kumogakure have the deepest hatred, and it is unlikely that they will cooperate with Kumogakure to attack Kirigakure. There is no need to worry about attracting wolves into the house.

But the road to Iwagakure is long, and if you don't cross the Land of Fire, the detour will take a long time.

If you want to cross the Land of Fire, you must first get Konoha's consent.

So Terumi Mei asked someone to go to Konoha first to see what Konoha meant.

After all, Kirigakure of the previous generation had offended Konoha so much that his Byakugan even had a blue eye.

It is still unclear what Konoha's attitude is now.

However, Terumi Mei remembered Natsuki's almost explicit letter from before,

While sending people to Konoha to ask for help, he also asked Ao to quietly visit Uchiha.

Terumi Mei first sent a request for help message to Iwagakure through official channels.

Personnel were also sent to Konoha, the Country of Fire.

As for why Sunagakure didn't ask for help, firstly, it was because Sunagakure also needed to pass through Konoha.

Second, Sunagakure's desire for land is very strong. When Sunagakure intervenes in the battlefield, it is not certain who he will help.

…

Although Iwagakure is the farthest from Kirigakure, they are the most concerned about this battle.

Information on the battlefield is transmitted by the fastest and most powerful force besides the two warring parties.

Although Kirigakure's weakness surprised Onoki,

However, Terumi Mei's request for help was unexpected by Ohnoki.

However, Ohnoki's character is very mature and prudent. During this period of time, Kirigakure's Twin Islands will become a battlefield meat grinder.

It is not cost-effective to intervene in the war now.

So after Iwagakure received the news from Kirigakure, he didn't say to go or not to go, but started to wait and see.

On Konoha's side, Kirigakure's people arrived quickly.

But the people who came to see the Third Hokage were actually just a Jonin and a half-grown child.

Chojuro.

However, the Third Hokage didn't care. Instead, it could be seen from Kirigakure's behavior that Kirigakure had no one left.

If Kirigakure could mobilize people, he would not let such a young child come over.

It seems that the older Kirigakure are now on the battlefield.

Now Chojuro just has the title of a child prodigy and serves as Mei Terumi's bodyguard.

In terms of strength and experience, he is not very good, so sending him out to ask for help is a last resort. After all, Kirigakure has no suitable people now.

"Hokage-sama, we Kirigakure need your assistance from Konoha."

Chojuro's character is inherently shy and submissive.

This time, he was almost asked to complete such a task, which made him feel uneasy.

What he said was basically rote.

Fortunately, there was no stumbling when speaking.

The Third Hokage was very kind: "It's hard for you to come all the way. Please tell me the specific situation first..."

Next, Chojuro told the Third Hokage everything about the battle situation on the front line.

Sandai was surprised when he heard Chojuro say that Kumogakure relied on the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails to force the landing.

Kumogakure was really brave, and he wasn't afraid of the two jinchūriki being ambushed.

But it was this boldness that allowed Yunyin to gain a foothold so quickly.

While they were talking, there was a knock on the door outside.

When the Third Hokage didn't respond, Orochimaru walked in.

The Third Hokage didn't pay attention to Ouchimaru's rudeness, but used his eyes to indicate to him what was wrong.

Orochimaru walked towards the Third Hokage: "Old man, I need two kinds of equipment for my laboratory."

Orochimaru made eye contact with the Third Hokage from an angle that no one could see, and then shook his head subtly.

The Third Hokage closed his eyes, indicating that he understood.

…

In addition to asking for help from the Leaf Village, Kirigakure is another person.

However, he came to the Uchiha clan in hiding and asked to see Natsuki.

Uchiha clan land.

Reception room.

This person who came to Uchiha secretly was taken to the reception room and then opened his robe.

"I didn't expect Mei Terumi to send you here."

Xia Mu looked at the person opposite with one eye with some amusement.

It's Qing.

Aoya is considered an old rival of Uchiha.

Of course, it would be enough to be beaten unilaterally by Shisui.

"Natsuki-sama, Mizukage-sama knows that Konoha will probably not send troops to assist us Kirigakure, so he specially asked me to come to see you."

Qing's attitude was very low, after all, now she had someone to ask for.

Kirigakure knew the current situation of Konoha and Uchiha.

Rather than expecting Konoha to send troops for assistance, it would be better to come to Natsuki.

After all, Natsuki had dealt with Mei Terumi before.

He also wrote to her, almost explicitly saying that Uchiha accepted the employment.

Natsuki smiled slightly: "Now the two-tailed Yuki and the eight-tailed Kirabi have arrived on the battlefield."

"According to their current offensive, if they form a bridgehead in the Kingdom of Water, it will only be a matter of time before you Kirigakure is destroyed."

Ao calmly said: "We, the Fourth and Fifth Mizukage, are not vegetarians either."
