Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 282 The Fourth Ninja World War

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the depressing atmosphere was like a heavy rock pressing on people's hearts.

The classic group arrived at the lake. The lake looked particularly deep under the gloomy sky, as if there was a dormant giant beast underneath, which might open its bloody mouth at any time and swallow everything on the lake.

Itachi narrowed his Sharingan slightly, his eyes revealing coldness and calmness, turned his head to look at Kisame, and said in a low and calm voice: "Get ready to act."

Kisame grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and the Samehada in his hand trembled with excitement, as if he couldn't wait to drink blood: "Haha, it's finally about to begin, don't let me down, Three-Tails."

Disappointed?

Maybe.

Itachi will never forget the scene where the Mizukage Karuji Yagura transformed into a tailed beast and fired at him, and Biwa Juzo came forward with a sword and chopped off the tailed beast ball.
Now that I think about it, based on the intelligence analysis, when Yagura Karuta was alive, he should have been controlled by that guy with the Sharingan, and "I" was the target of measuring loyalty under the controlled Yagura Karuta.
Itachi thought while forming seals: "Water Style: Water Array Wall!" He shouted softly, and a powerful stream of water gushed out from his mouth, instantly forming a huge water wall above the lake.

This wall of water was like an indestructible barrier, blocking the upward route that the three-tailed creature might have taken to escape.

Seeing this, Kisame laughed and praised: "The water jutsu of fighting seven-sangs looks pretty good!"

Itachi possesses fire, wind, water, yin and yang chakras. He is proficient in fire jutsu, but most of the time he is just too lazy to use water jutsu.

Kisame was not to be outdone. He carried Samehada on his shoulders and began to form hand seals as well.

"Water Release Big Explosion Water Wave!"

Hoshigaki Kisame swung Samehada violently, and a large amount of sea water spurted out from Samehada, like a raging tsunami, rushing madly towards the bottom of the lake!

The originally calm lake surface suddenly became turbulent, the water was violently stirred, and the waves surged high.

Under the influence of the two's powerful water escape technique, the three-tailed Isobu at the bottom of the lake felt uncomfortable, and it roared angrily!

The huge body of Sanwei slowly crawled at the bottom of the lake, and the originally clear lake water became turbid, and a large amount of mud and sand was stirred up.

"Wow~"

Isofu's body was like a small mountain. Wherever he went, the lake was stirred up into waves several meters high.

Itachi's eyes flashed, and he quickly activated the Sharingan's eye technique.

"Tsukuyomi!" he whispered, and a trace of confusion flashed in the eyes of the Three-Tails for a moment, as if it had fallen into an endless dark space.

In this space, time and space have lost their meaning. The three-tailed beast was constantly pierced by countless sharp blades and screamed in pain.

Feeling discomfort in his eyes, Itachi stopped Tsukuyomi.

You dare to play tricks on me?!
The Three-Tails swung its tail angrily and smashed it in the direction of Itachi and Kisame.

Kisame smiled and rushed forward to meet the attack of the Three-Tails.

He grasped Samehada with both hands and exerted the power of Samehada to the extreme.

"Samehada, devour!" Samehada opened its mouth wide like a hungry beast and madly devoured the Three-Tails' chakra.

The Three-Tail felt pain and its body shook violently. It tried to shake Samehada off, but Kisame held Samehada tightly and used his powerful strength to stalemate with the Three-Tail.

Itachi took this opportunity to launch another ninjutsu: "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

The area around the lake was in a mess.

Sanwei roared and chased after the two bastards who disturbed his meditation.

The duo's target is the Hidden Mist Village.

"Alright! One against seven! We're almost there!" Kisame carried Samehada on his shoulders, turned around and smiled at the chasing Xiaoshan Isofue, "Let the Hidden Mist Village have a headache! Let's go!"

Uchiha Itachi stood on a tall tree, watching Kisame talking to himself in the air, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the majestic and ancient meeting hall of Iwagakure Village, the atmosphere was so solemn that it was almost suffocating.

Ohnoki was short in stature but had a strong imposing manner. His face was slightly distorted with anger, the wrinkles on his forehead were as deep as ravines, and his eyes were red, as if burning with two flames of rage.

His hands were clenched into fists, his joints turning white from the force, and he looked like an enraged beast that could explode at any moment.

"What the hell is going on!" Ohnoki's voice was low and full of anger, echoing in the conference room, making everyone's eardrums hurt. His eyes swept across everyone present like a sharp blade, especially the high-ranking officials of the Iwagakure Village standing in the front.

The senior executive was thin, looked panicked, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

He was shaking slightly, his voice also trembling a little: "Lord Tsuchikage, based on the traces left at the scene and the conspicuous Eight-Tails tentacle, our preliminary judgment is that this is most likely the work of the Akatsuki organization."

As he spoke, he secretly observed Ohnoki's expression, only to see that Ohnoki's brows frowned even deeper and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Seeing this, the top leaders hurriedly continued to explain: "Akatsuki has always coveted the tailed beasts. They may want to provoke a fight between us and other villages so that they can reap the benefits. This time, the attack on Lord Huangtu, Akagi, and the abduction of Miss Kurotsuchi are probably part of their plan. They are trying to provoke a war between the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Cloud Village so that they can seek more benefits in the chaos, such as snatching more land resources, or taking the opportunity to expand their power in the ninja world."

Ohnoki listened to the analysis of the top management, and after a moment's silence, he snorted coldly: "Hmph, such an obvious frame-up is simply too low-level! Do they think they can easily provoke a war between our two villages in this way?" There was a shrewd flash in his eyes, and he paced back and forth in the hall, taking each step very heavily, as if he wanted to vent the anger in his heart through his footsteps.

"But I had to be fooled!" Ohnoki suddenly stopped and looked up, his eyes full of helplessness and pain, "Kurotsuchi was captured. The other party must want to see a war between the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village. They know how important Kurotsuchi is to me and the Iwagakure Village. They are forcing me to surrender! This is not easy to deal with..."

His voice was slightly choked. Huangtu was his son, and Chitu was his valued apprentice. Now they were both murdered, and his granddaughter was abducted. These successive blows were too much for this strong Tsuchikage to bear.

"The defense strength of our Iwagakure Village is the best among the five major villages. How did the thief get here?"

The senior executive thought about it and said, "Could it be a spatial ability?"

When this was mentioned, Ohnoki calmed down a lot.

After all, he had experienced one, two or three Ninja World Wars and had seen all kinds of strange ninjutsu.

Ohnoki took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. His eyes gradually became firm: "Kurotsuchi is the hope for the future of Iwagakure Village. No matter what, I must rescue her safely! Since the other party wants to start a war, we can't back down."

He turned to look at the ninjas beside him and shouted an order: "Pass the order down, start preparing the armaments! Notify all ninjas to enter an emergency state of readiness! At the same time, we must find the whereabouts of Kurotsuchi!"

"Once we find the black soil, we will have to find trouble with our real enemy!"

"Yes!"

The atmosphere in the meeting hall of the Hidden Cloud Village was instantly ignited.

When the news of Iwagakure Village's declaration of war came, everyone was shocked at first, and then anger spread in the hall like a tide.

Raikage Ai sat upright on a tall chair, exuding a chilling aura.

This is the real him, not the one described in the book.

At this moment, his face was ashen, his eyes were wide open with anger burning in them, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his fists were clenched tightly, as if he was going to crush the chair in the next second.

"Iwagakure Village! They are so brave!" Ai's voice echoed in the hall like a loud bell, and the listeners couldn't help but shrink their necks.

He stood up suddenly and threw the documents in his hand to the ground. The documents scattered like snowflakes. "Kirabi was just seriously injured, and they came to declare war. Isn't this clearly seizing the opportunity to ask for benefits? Do you think that our Hidden Cloud Village is a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by anyone?"

The ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village all showed angry expressions, some bit their lips, some clenched their weapons, and the whole hall was filled with a tense atmosphere. "Lord Raikage, we can't just let this go!"

"Yes, they have gone too far. We must teach them a lesson!" The angry shouts of the ninjas rang out one after another.

Ai swept his eyes over the crowd, and seeing his men united in hatred of the enemy, the rage in his heart grew stronger.

He strode back and forth in the hall, "Since the founding of the Hidden Cloud Village, we have never been afraid of anyone! Even if it's Hashirama Senju, so what? After his death, Konoha will lose its voice. Since Ōnoki dares to challenge us, we will fight to the end!"

He suddenly stopped, waved his hand, and said in a thunderous voice, "If you want to fight, then let's fight! Notify all ninjas to enter combat status! We in the Hidden Cloud Village will never fear any enemy!"

Inside the Hokage's office in Konoha Village, the atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

The sunlight outside the window shines through the mottled leaves and falls on the ground, forming patches of light and shadow, but it is unable to dispel the depressing atmosphere in the house.

Tsunade sat behind the Hokage's desk, her face livid, her once bright eyes now burning with anger, she clenched her teeth, her cheeks slightly bulging, it seemed that her new desk was about to be lost.

When the news of the Sand Village's declaration of war came, a surge of blood rushed to Tsunade's head and instantly overwhelmed her.

Tsunade slammed the table so hard that the documents and ink on it jumped up and down, "Sagakure Village! Are they crazy? What time is this? They actually want to go to war with us!"

Tsunade's tossing continued to rise and fall: "We in Konoha have always kept our distance from them. Last time we were discussing the development of an alliance! Why did you suddenly change your mind?!"

Konoha consultant Mito Kado En frowned and said slowly, "The Sand Village's actions this time are really strange. Perhaps they have some ulterior motives, or they have been bewitched by other forces. We cannot act rashly. We need to investigate carefully first and understand the real reason for their declaration of war before making a decision."

Another advisor, Utane Koharu, held a different opinion. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and determination. She raised her voice and said, "Investigate? By the time we have investigated thoroughly, the Sand Village may have already laid siege to the city! We in Konoha are very powerful now. How can we be provoked by the Sand Village without fighting back? In my opinion, we should gather our forces immediately, take the initiative to attack, and teach them a severe lesson. Let them know that we in Konoha are not to be trifled with!"

The two consultants argued endlessly, each holding their own opinion, and their voices echoed in the office.

Tsunade listened to their argument and became increasingly annoyed. She glared at the two of them and shouted, "Stop arguing! Now is not the time to argue!"

The two of them shut up instantly.

The head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi, stood aside. He had not had a chance to speak just now. Now that the two advisors had quieted down, he frowned slightly and said, "Hokage, no matter what purpose the Sand Village has in declaring war, we must be fully prepared. The safety of Konoha depends on you. Please carefully consider the response strategy." At this time, Jiraiya cleared his throat and said, "This matter is very strange no matter how you look at it. The Sand Village has always been calculating and will not start a war without reason. Moreover, we are also aware of their strength. It will not do them much good to rashly become an enemy of our Konoha. There must be something hidden behind it. Maybe someone is secretly instigating discord."

Mitomon En shook his head: "The financial situation of the Sand Village is enough for Rasa to start a war. There is no need to think too much about this. Even if someone instigates him, he really wants to invade Konoha. This is a foregone conclusion."

Tsunade listened to everyone's words, pondered for a moment, raised her head, and said with a firm look: "Jiraiya is right, there must be something fishy about this matter, but no matter what, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Mito Kado En, you will be responsible for organizing the intelligence personnel to find out the reason behind the Sand Village's declaration of war as soon as possible. Utane Koharu, you will assist the military department and make defense and combat plans. Hyuga clan leader, the Hyuga clan is an important force in Konoha, and I hope you can give your full assistance."

Everyone nodded and accepted the order.

Tsunade then said, "Where's Kakashi? Ask him to go find Uchiha Yu and come back immediately!"

At this moment, a golden light suddenly flashed in the office, and a space fluctuation was heard.

Uchiha Yu came uninvited!

He looked at everyone present, somewhat confused, "What's wrong? You look so sad. Did the Four Nations declare war on Konoha?"

Jiraiya looked embarrassed, "That's not the case. It's the Sand Village that declared war on us."

"Sagakure?" Uchiha Yu thought he had misheard, "Are you talking about the Sand Village that came to Konoha to take part in the Chunin Exam some time ago, had so few talents that they could only send out their Jinchuriki and almost lost their tailed beasts?"

Jiraiya nodded.

"They are sick!"

The Lord God Fang Yu could be "praised" by Chu Xuan for his mortal wisdom. Uchiha Yu, who shared the same brain, naturally smelled the stench of conspiracy.

After thinking for a while, he singled out Luo Sha for praise: "Luo Sha didn't catch up with the big fight with Orochimaru, so he is being used as a pawn by the Akatsuki organization again?"

Tsunade finally regained her composure. She looked at Uchiha Yu: "Yu! How did you see the war?"

"The Sand Village is definitely going to lose this battle, but they are so poor that they can't even grow dogtail grass in the sand village after the war. We are too lazy to take their land. So we can only take Shukaku. Let's start the fight! Get Shukaku first!"

"Uh" Jiraiya was a little confused. Although he didn't know where Uchiha Yu got such a big tone, he was still infected by his confidence.

Mitomon Yan couldn't help but interrupted: "Uchiha Yu, although there are only you and Uchiha Sasuke left in the Uchiha clan, even as the acting patriarch of the Uchiha clan, your say in the village is actually..."

Before he could finish his words, Uchiha Yu took out the Flying Thunder God Kunai, "Is Konoha's Black Flash enough?"

"The war between villages is not as simple as you think. Even Minato Namikaze could not decide the outcome of the war in a short period of time. The role that a single person can play in a war is minimal. You are at best a small soldier. Think twice."

Mitomon En's words were interrupted again, and Uchiha Yu directly entered the Sage Mode, so skillfully that Jiraiya didn't even have time to react before he started.

Of course, Uchiha Yu also took over the Gene Lock and the Heaven's Curse Seal.

"This! This is!"

Jiraiya and Tsunade are both very familiar with the Sage Mode, especially Jiraiya, "This familiar chakra! That's right! But how did you get to Myoboku Mountain? How come I don't know about this kind of thing!? This is the aura of the Sage Mode of Myoboku Mountain! What is going on! Uchiha Yu, tell me!"

Uchiha Yu pointed at his nose, "I don't have rosacea in my Sage Mode."

Jiraiya was a little embarrassed, but still nodded: "Indeed, your Sage Mode is the most perfect ninja I have ever seen. Even in Gama Sage, I have never heard of such a perfect Sage Mode like yours."

He suddenly realized, "So you have been studying Sage Mode outside the village these days! Incredible! You have mastered Sage Mode at such a young age, the dawn of Konoha."

Hinata Hiashi was also dumbfounded. He could never have imagined that the ignorant Uchiha kid had grown to such a level.

"Uchiha Yu, you."

Uchiha Yu waved his hand to interrupt everyone's exclamation, "Do I mean what I said now?"

Mitomon En nodded, "Well! In that case, we can try a short-term strategy, but."

"Why bother with so much trouble? We can just start a war on all fronts! We now have two Sannin and a Super Shadow like me, as well as a few smaller fish and shrimps. Even if the enemy is the Akatsuki and Sunagakure teaming up, there is nothing to worry about!"

Mitomon En was so angry that he laughed, "You are young but you are so arrogant! You are even better than Ying."

Tsunade coughed lightly and said, "Yu has the Mangekyō Sharingan and knows Flying Thunder God. In addition, he now has the Sage Mode. Naturally, he is no worse than the two of us in the Three Ninjas."

Uchiha Yu did not explain his strength. He smiled at Tsunade and looked at the two senior advisors of Konoha.

"The Sand Village needs resources. They are now as anxious as if tomorrow is Valentine's Day. They are still frantically searching for female contact information tonight. No matter how bad the conditions offered by the Akatsuki organization are, they will go all out. This is human nature and the core foundation of the Sand Village's military villageism!"

"This battle must be fought! It would be better to be more decisive, take the initiative and push the battlefield as far as possible to avoid damaging the environment of the Fire Nation."

"Yu is right." Jiraiya nodded, "By the way, didn't you say last time that Kirigakure is cooperating with us?"

Tsunade simply shook her head, "Anbu sent a letter saying that Kirigakure is now too exhausted by the sudden arrival of the Three-tailed Iso and can't take care of anything else."

At this point, Uchiha Yu suddenly muttered something. After feeling the direction, he said, "Calculate the time. Last time, I gave Yuhi Kurenai a Flying Thunder God Kunai to the Land of Lightning. I will go to the Land of Lightning to check the surrounding situation."

After saying that, the figure disappeared, leaving a bunch of old men in the room staring at each other in amazement.

--------

In the mysterious and deep corner of the underground world, a strange space opened up by the power of Wood Release exists quietly.

This place seems like another world, completely different from the desolate and cruel outside world.

The "natural energy" around was so dense that it was almost material. The light green halo visible to the naked eye was flying and circling in the air like a lively elf.

Li Yingqi lay quietly on a piece of wood that exuded a warm luster.

Her expression was dazed and her eyes were wandering as she stared blankly at the strange light and shadows above her that were formed by the interweaving of natural energy. Her hands hung unconsciously at both sides of her body, her fingers occasionally trembling slightly.

Beside Li Yingqi, a group of main gods such as Fang Yu were sitting in meditation.

Their bodies were neat and solemn, with their legs crossed and their hands placed on their knees in complex and mysterious seals.

Every Fang Yu's face was focused and calm, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was even and deep.

Their bodies merged with the rich natural energy around them. The halo of natural energy continued to flow into their bodies and emanate from their bodies, forming small energy vortices.

Although he had never been to Myoboku Mountain, Fang Yu had a rough estimate.

If the natural energy level of Myoboku Mountain is three.

So Li Yingqi, who is 18vs1, naturally has an energy of at least seven.

After three days of sleepless nights, Fang Yu felt that his natural energy had reached a terrifying level!

Although he couldn't reach the level of Hashirama Senju, it was no problem for him to surpass Jiraiya who had practiced for decades.

Suddenly, Li Yingqi opened her mouth, sorted out her words, and asked, "What exactly is this outside world that you mentioned before, and Master also mentioned?"

Fang Yu did not interrupt his meditation and answered with his eyes closed: "The main god space."

As soon as he finished speaking, a reminder popped up in his mind to deduct 10 bonus points. However, Fang Yu did not care about these points and continued, "In the main god space, you can exchange for everything you can think of. The price is to experience reincarnation again and again, just like me this time. To me, you are also plot characters in a world."

Li Yingqi obviously didn't have Bai Mei's ability to understand. She was still very confused. "You mean, there is another world above this world? That world is not called the fairyland, but some kind of space?"

"You can call it the fairyland, but you didn't understand the point of what I said. Plot, reincarnation. You are a plot character in the reincarnation world. If you can't understand, think about the people you have met before. You are just a passerby in their world, just like I met you. The same is true for reincarnation. You are one of the passersby that the reincarnation team will meet in thousands of worlds."

Li Yingqi pinched his arm, "Are you saying I'm fake?"

"Of course you exist in the world~ It's just that the world you live in is lower than the world of reincarnation, just like it's difficult for a fish in a fish tank to go to the sea."

"Of course, reincarnations like us are not fish in the ocean. At best, we are just scavengers struggling to survive in a stinking ditch."

Li Yingqi's worldview collapsed, but he continued to ask: "It was said before that Master received an invitation from your enemy. Then, can I do it?"

"What? You want to go to Atlantis?"

Li Yingqi shook his head like a rattle, "Of course not. Can't you invite me?"

The Lord God Fang Yu opened his eyes and interrupted the acquisition of natural energy, "You? Too weak, if you have the Heavenly Sword, it's not that I can't invite you to be a teammate, after all, practicing immortal arts requires your body."

Li Yingqi blushed, "I just want to find the answer to the existence of spiritual practice."

Fang Yu thought about it carefully and said, "Okay, if you can bring the Heavenly Sword and Moon Gold Wheel to the main god space, then the Zhongzhou team welcomes you to join."

Li Yingqi nodded, "Okay! It's a deal!"

Fang Yu sniffed the natural energy in the air. "It has lost some more energy than before. Come on, raise the wood and squeeze out some more energy."

Li Yingqi took the initiative to stuff the wood under his buttocks and closed his eyes, looking like a man who bowed to life.

Just a little cold.
