Chapter 243 The War Is Coming (Subscription Request)
Mikasa had arranged everything for him, and although Allen was unwilling, he really had nothing to say.
It was true that his combat power was low, and it was also true that he was a hindrance.
But because of this, he was more eager to have power.
He even wanted to put himself in danger, and push his potential as Ryosuke said!
But until Allen and his friends arrived near the cave, the old cat still did not show up, and there was no extra reply.
And behind them, the crackling sound of electric sparks was getting closer and closer, and even affected their hearing.
The whistling wind whistled in his ears, just like the tinnitus caused by kidney deficiency. Mikasa's heart sank, "... dead cat, it won't run away."
To be honest, when they first approached the Hidden Cloud Village, she could still sense that the old cat was following them.
But now... she couldn't feel anything.
"You bitch, you're saying bad things about me behind my back?"
The next moment, a fat gray cat suddenly appeared beside Mikasa, almost following her steps, and even the rhythm of his breathing was instantly synchronized.
So fast! Where was he hiding just now? !
Mikasa was shocked.
I didn't expect that the lazy fat cat along the way could hide so well.
Is this the difference between a ninja from a big country's ninja village and a ninja from a small country's ninja village?
In her heart, she was a little more worried about the fight with the people from the Hidden Cloud Village.
Although she said it to Allen lightly, Mikasa never meant to look down on the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village.
"We have completed the mission and are now leaving the Land of Lightning."
Looking at the old cat next to her, Mikasa said seriously: "You didn't participate in the mission just now, and the people in the Hidden Cloud Village don't know you exist."
"I will be responsible for diverting the people who are tracking you, so that they will not have time to search for you for the time being. Please take Alan away from the Land of Lightning."
"No time."
The old cat's steps were very casual, like a clever sika deer, "Please, I'm not your babysitter. Your business is over, and I have other tasks to do."
The short legs jumped a long distance, not at all embarrassed because of the short legs and the need to run fast.
"But..."
Mikasa was going to say something else.
"Good luck to you, I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."
Without giving Mikasa a chance to speak, the old cat just left a word, turned around, and left in the opposite direction.
Huh? !
Mikasa paused for a moment, but continued to rush towards the cave without much hesitation.
However, she deliberately slowed down and began to slow down.
She had expected that the old cat would not help, so although she was a little annoyed about it, she would not lose her composure.
What affected her mood was that the old cat actually turned around and rushed towards the direction where the Cloud Hidden Ninjas were rushing!
Could it be that... he wanted to stop the Cloud Hidden Ninjas by himself?
But soon, Mikasa knew the truth.
When she brought Alan to the planned cave, the pursuit behind her did not slow down at all, and there was no situation of stopping at all.
It seemed that the Cloud Hidden Ninjas, like her, could not find the old cat's hiding.
Although she wondered what other tasks the old cat had to perform, now was not the time to care about others.
"Live, Alan."
Without saying much, Mikasa simply said one sentence, and threw Alan into the originally arranged barrier,
Then she retreated all the way and sorted out all the movement traces nearby.
Mikasa started to flee again after returning to a place several hundred meters away from the cave.
She was still carrying Alan on her back.
But this Alan was transformed from her water clone.
"It's almost time."
After running more than a hundred meters with her water clone on her back, the Kumogakure Chunin who had been chasing her appeared behind Mikasa at the right time.
From his position, he could see Mikasa running in the distance without any obstruction.
With his appearance, Mikasa's speed began to increase.
"I found you!"
The Kumogakure Chunin roared, and the lightning on his body became more intense.
His speed was also increasing, and the flare he was holding tightly in his hand had been sent out and shot into the sky.
One chasing and one fleeing, Mikasa and the Kumogakure Chunin soon left the vicinity of the cave.
Less than three minutes later, another group of Kumogakure ninjas arrived here. Although they stayed for a while, the movement not far away made them hesitate and they followed the movement traces left by the Kumogakure ninjas.
Lying beside the fallen rocks, Allen did not get up immediately in the barrier.
He lay quietly in the pit, listening to the noisy sounds going away, staring at the sky with lifeless eyes, like a dead body.
All the scenes of Mikasa's arrangements emerged in her mind one by one.
Although there are some better cover here than other places along the way, in order to let the Cloud Hidden Ninja pass through here without any hesitation, she chose to let the other party see their figures leave with their own eyes.
Even if the Cloud Hidden Ninja who was chasing wanted to check, they would not waste too much time when they saw her leaving.
And even if they really wasted time and stopped, they could only fall into the illusion of the barrier, search hastily, and then hurriedly embark on the road of pursuit again.
In order not to let the other party wonder why they could suddenly catch up with them, Mikasa slowed down all the way, hanging on the Cloud Hidden Ninja, calculating the distance.
From the pace of the Cloud Hidden Ninja leaving just now, Allen was sure that the other party had not thought of these things at all.
Maybe when he saw Mikasa leaving, he forgot his suspicion of the surrounding environment, and the same was true for the others who heard them leaving later.
But even if these Cloud Hidden Ninjas didn't think of these, Mikasa still made all the plans early, so that she could leave safely.
The basis for the execution of this plan is rich mission experience and absolute control of one's own combat power.
If I were also a ninja, could I do the same thing as Mikasa?
Allen took a deep breath and sat up from the pit.
Strength is important, but you also need to have the mentality and wisdom to control strength.
The idea of putting himself in danger in his heart faded a lot. There was no need to use two lives to try something that might fail.
If I put myself in danger, Mikasa would definitely save me at all costs. He knew this very well.
And if I couldn't do what Ryosuke said, he would kill Mikasa!
If such a thing really happened, he would not forgive himself even if he became a ghost.
"It seems that we guessed wrong. The target of the Akatsuki organization is not Konoha Village, but Iwagakure Village!"
The vast sea is endless.
On the sea, which is less than a week away from the Land of Water, more than a dozen giant ships are sailing across the ocean.
On one of the huge ships,
a charming woman with a curvy figure was slowly squeezing the black eagle in her hand to death,
and in her other hand, she was holding a small scroll that looked like a key.
As top forces, Konoha and Kirigakure both have communication ninja beasts that transmit information, and Iwagakure is no exception.
The black eagle in her hand is the communication ninja beast of Iwagakure.
However, before it arrived and passed the message to the people of Iwagakure, it was accidentally intercepted by the people of Kirigakure, who got the corresponding information one step earlier.
According to the current Akatsuki organization intelligence, a masked man suspected to be Uchiha Madara attacked Iwagakure, causing almost all the remaining ninjas in Iwagakure to be wiped out.
Even the scroll that conveyed the situation was faintly stained with blood, as if it was the content that was transmitted at the risk of death.
"Just pretend this never happened. This summoned beast died on the way."
Next to him, the master raised his skinny arm that looked like dry wood, clenched his cane and knocked on the board, "Or... you can put the blame on the people of the Hidden Cloud Village."
For the ninja coalition, this is not good news.
If Ohnoki gets the news that the Hidden Cloud Village was attacked, he will most likely withdraw his troops and return home directly.
After all, it concerns the survival of the Hidden Cloud Village and the survival of the Akatsuki organization. Obviously, the former will have a higher priority.
But if the Hidden Cloud Village is missing, the Akatsuki organization's crusade may become much more difficult.
"Maybe... we don't have to join Konoha."
A hint of hesitation flashed in Mei Terumi's eyes, "After the battle with Akatsuki, we may have a chance to rebuild Kirigakure."
The reason why they considered joining Konoha after Akatsuki was defeated was that
they predicted that after this battle, Kirigakure's combat power would be reduced by eight or nine tenths, falling to a small or medium-sized force, and its position among the five major countries would no longer exist.
Although based on the secret techniques and combat power mastered by each of them as a foundation, as long as they were given enough time, they could rebuild Kirigakure, but this time would be very long.
It is hard to guarantee that other forces will not take the opportunity to attack, so they directly chose to join Konoha.
But now Iwagakure has also been attacked, and suffered heavy losses, so...if other forces in the five major countries are also attacked and weakened by most of their combat power, wouldn't they be standing at the same height again!
Everyone has suffered heavy losses and needs time to recuperate, so they don't need to rely on others at all.
They can even build a better rebuilt Kirigakure and gather unprecedented cohesion!
"Forge the cause of Black Hawk's death, and then pass this letter through it and send it to the hands of Kumogakure intact."
"In order to successfully complete the plan of subjugation, I believe the Fifth Raikage may make the same choice as us, that is, to conceal the news."
"After the war, we will reveal this news to Ohnoki and let him tear his face with Kumogakure."
"We have to find a way to drag Konoha into the water, so that the three parties will engage in a melee after the crusade..."
She spoke quickly, one step after another.
Once she had a goal and a good result, Mei Terumi's brain started to work flexibly.
After a while, a huge and tempting plan appeared in front of the master.
"You can give it a try."
A slow and old voice sounded from the master's mouth. He did not hesitate or consider much. His turbid eyes looked at the fifth generation Mizukage in front of him, who was appointed by him, and he was very satisfied.
"But in this case, perhaps in the next crusade plan, we have to find a way to save the lives of some important people."
"No matter whether they have betrayed us before, the memory in their brains is definitely a treasure."
Then, he slowly added.
Since the result is to rebuild Kirigakure, we must consider more support from the foundation.
In this crusade plan, both the Land of Water and the Hidden Mist Village are the biggest victims of this dispute.
Whether they lose or not, they will suffer a heavy blow.
But as the saying goes, those who are in power are often confused. Few people in the Hidden Mist Village can see this clearly. Most of them are still immersed in the beautiful dream woven by the Akatsuki Organization.
They also think that their Fourth Generation Mizukage is very powerful and has secretly cultivated a team that can shake the situation in the ninja world.
Even for the joint ninja army's door-to-door crusade, they may still think that it is because the four major villages are afraid of the Hidden Mist Village, or... the Akatsuki Organization did not pass this news to them at all, but concealed it, intending to tell those idiots in the Land of Water when the real fight begins.
After all, the news of the Land of Water to the outside world is completely blocked by the Akatsuki Organization.
The news that is spreading in the outside world may not be heard at all in the Land of Water.
As for all this, Ryosuke saw it clearly from high in the sky, shook his head secretly, and directly passed the ninja coalition and continued to fly towards the Land of Water.
Although he set out a month later than the Ninja Alliance, he flew after all, and in terms of speed, the Ninja Alliance below, who were riding slowly on giant ships, could not compare at all.
For the Ninja Alliance, it would take several days to travel, but Ryosuke arrived in just half a day at his flying speed.
Looking down at the island below from high in the sky,
The entire Water Country seemed to be covered by a layer of transparent bubble film. This was an extremely advanced barrier technique, and the scope extended to the entire country.
The current Water Country can be said to be the most dangerous battlefield in the Ninja World.
Many small island countries around it avoided it, and some countries even moved their entire countries to avoid the war in order not to be affected.
Compared with the fear and stay away of others, Ryosuke left the Rain Country happily and rushed over to watch this good show.
Maybe in this battle, he can meet Uchiha Madara,
Maybe after this battle, he can meet Kaguya Otsutsuki, so Ryosuke is quite looking forward to this battle.
Even... Ryosuke thinks he can find the missing Shanks here.
After all, although the Akatsuki organization has a strict blockade of the news of the Water Country, it can never stop Shanks, a powerful pirate who looks like an "ordinary person".
He has always wanted to see the high-end combat power of this ninja world, and he will not miss such an opportunity.
Of course, this barrier will definitely not stop Ryosuke.
A faint silver light lit up in his eyes, and the void in front of him seemed to be distorted. The next moment, when Ryosuke stepped through the distorted place, he appeared directly in the barrier of the Water Country silently.
Even between two stars, he can rely on the Samsara Eye to shuttle with a certain amount of time and sufficient chakra consumption, not to mention this barrier.
