It’s August!
It’s actually August!
Before heading to the Land of Rain, it was only June, but I still felt like I had plenty of time to prepare for the cross-country trip.
Who would have thought that when returning from the Kingdom of Rain to the Kingdom of Fire, it would be delayed for half a month because of the Uzumaki clan's secret hiding place!
From Shisui Uchiha, "Meng" learned that the passage of time was completely different from what he imagined. It was naturally impossible to say that there was no change in the cross-country heart.
Before going to the Uzumaki clan's secret hideout, Cross Country never thought about exploring a secret place. It would take half a month, which made Cross Country feel very uncomfortable.
However, there are gains and losses.
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.
That crisis is the battle of the nine tails in the original plot!
The horrific battle that led to the fall of the Fourth Hokage, Uzumaki Kushina!
According to 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.
In the past, the reason why Cross-country felt very uncomfortable was undoubtedly the only two months left.
After experiencing the incident in the Land of Rain, Cross Country suddenly found that compared to Master Madara, he still seemed too immature.
Let’s talk about the incident in the Land 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 Banye's plans, it still cannot completely stop Banye's plan.
If Yahiko hadn't 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, he would have to face such a terrifying existence like Madara in two months. If he wanted to save the Fourth Hokage, Uzumaki Kushina, off-road, he would 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 that it took me two full months to return to the Land of Fire from the Country of Rain, and I didn't even feel it." "That's right, Shun, fierce.
" , 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 Kingdom of Fire was very difficult! You didn't collect any intelligence at all. Arrive!"
Cross Country asked, and "Meng" hidden under the ANBU mask smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it looks like you were seriously injured not long ago, so it is basically impossible to collect intelligence. Anyway, those The matter is no longer a secret in the village, so I will make an exception and tell you directly."
"Kage, do you know? Our Country of Fire..."
"We may start a war with the Country of Thunder!" "
What? The Country of Fire Going to war with the Kingdom of Thunder?"
After learning the inside story from "Meng", it was impossible for Cross Country not to be shocked!
You know, 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.
Just talking about what the daimyo in charge of the Land of Fire thinks, I don't know much about it, let alone the daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder who is also ambitious.
On the contrary, Uchiha Shisui next to him looked at Yuchi's astonished look and felt quite deeply touched.
Immediately, he patted Cross Country's shoulder hard, and Uchiha Shisui sighed: "Kage, you heard it right, the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Thunder are indeed preparing to go to war." "And the reason for the war this time is
also It was not the daimyo of the Land of Fire who was planning to start a war, but the Fourth Hokage who proposed it." "
Some time ago, intelligence came from the Land of Rain, saying that the Cloud Ninja Village was secretly spying on the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, causing trouble for the entire Hyuga clan. The whole clan was very panicked and sent people to the Fourth Hokage many times, hoping to seek help from the Fourth Hokage." "
But who would have thought? The Fourth Hokage was so radical and prepared to directly provoke two people. A war between countries!"
"Our reorganization of the Blade Team is actually what the Fourth Hokage meant." "
On the one hand, the mission of our Blade Team is to survey the border of the Land of Fire to see if the disappearance has been leaked." "
The other is On the one hand, Kage, we are here for you!"
After hearing Uchiha Shisui's words, Cross Country frowned slightly and asked, "For me?" "
Yes, it's for you."
He shook his head slightly. Shaking his head, "Meng" also didn't understand why the Fourth Hokage was preparing for an all-out war between the Fire Country and the Thunder Country. He then explained to Cross Country why the Fourth Hokage was looking for him and said: "The Fourth Hokage's wife is the Nine You must know about the Tail Jinchuuriki, Kage, right? The Fourth Hokage's wife will give birth soon. I heard that that was the period when the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki was at his weakest." "It's a pity that we have to pay attention to the Fire Country again
. The war with the Kingdom of Thunder, and having to pay attention to his wife, the Fourth Hokage really can't be distracted. Therefore, the Fourth Hokage begged the Third Hokage to help take care of his wife, and look for you and Kaka by the way. People who are more trusted by Nishi went to protect Kushina-sama who became weak due to childbirth." "
So that's it." He
knew the reason why the Fourth Hokage sent people to look for him, even though Cross Country himself knew very well that the Fourth Hokage was looking for him. I'm afraid my reasons are not as simple as "Meng" said.
However, when 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 escort 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 less relaxed than the last time I returned to Konoha Village.
Because, off-road, who is familiar with the plot of the original work, obviously knows more things than Shisui Uchiha, "Meng".
Moreover, Cross Country also knows that the Fourth Hokage's "radicality" that is not in the original plot is likely to lead to more terrifying results!
Just imagine it!
If cross-country fails to prevent the tragedy of the Nine-Tails War, the Fourth Hokage and Uzumaki Kushina still fall, but the war between the Land of Fire and the Land of Thunder is a foregone conclusion, then what is the result that Konoha Village will face?
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 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 entering 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 of Cross Country, the irritation 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 that is extremely familiar and can make cross-country people feel reliable is the current leader of the Nara clan!
The uncle of off-roading, Nara Shikaku!
"Cross-country, are you finally willing to go home?"
"Come home with me for dinner!"
