Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 217: Ninja World War, Jinchūriki Deployed
After leaving the Hokage's office, Xingxia Xiu immediately created a clone and returned to the Rain Village.

The Rain Village must remain stable, lest Kurome, the apparent leader of the Rain Village, really think that he is dead, and then turn to the Iwagakure Village and lead Nagato and others astray.

Even so, it won't have much impact on him.

But Xingxiaxiu was too lazy to go through so much trouble.

However, although the clone appeared in Rain Village, it was hiding in the dark.

The only ones who knew about it were Kuroyu, Nagato and the other two.

When Ōnoki and the other two returned to their respective villages, they immediately began to order the war.

At the same time, the news was passed on to the Hidden Mist Village, revealing that the death of the Third Mizukage was caused by Konoha's Hoshita Hide.

January 45, Konoha 6.

The soldiers of the Iwagakure Village split into two groups, one group marched into the Land of Grass, attempting to attack the Land of Fire from the Land of Grass again, but they were resisted by the Grass Village with all their might.

However, the Grass Country's attack was just a feint, and the real main force was on the Rain Country's side.

However, the Rain Village, which had originally planned to join forces, broke its promise.

The leader of the Rain Village, Kuroame, used the excuse that the villagers and the daimyo were unwilling to start a war to openly tear up the alliance with the Iwagakure Village and prepared to stand aside and watch.

Although Ohnoki was extremely angry, this was not the first time that the Rain Village had been fickle, and besides, the arrow had been shot and could not be stopped.

As long as the Rain Village doesn't stand on Konoha's side, it's fine.

There is no show under the stars.

This time, the four major ninja villages will join forces and will definitely be able to take a big bite out of the Fire Country.

So, the main force of Iwagakure passed through the Rain Village and attacked the Land of Fire.

at the same time.

The Sand Village and the Cloud Village also took action at the same time.

The Sand Village went straight into the River Country, intending to retake the River Country first, and then attack the Fire Country together with the Rock Ninja.

The Hidden Cloud Village headed straight into the Land of Fire at an extremely fast speed.

The last one came from the Hidden Mist Village, but their reaction was much slower.

Because of the death of the Third Mizukage, three days passed before the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, took the throne and launched an undeclared war on Konoha.

On June 6, the Ninja World War broke out.

Unlike the Third Ninja World War that Hide Hoshita knew, this time seemed to be a repeat of the First Ninja World War. The four major ninja villages united against Konoha and launched an attack on the Land of Fire at the same time.

……

"That guy Xiu is really..."

Jiraiya hurried back from outside and arrived at the Hokage Building just in time to see Tsunade, and hurriedly asked.

Tsunade said calmly, "Go ask the old man, I don't have time."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

She is responsible for the affairs of the medical team. There are now four battlefields in Konoha, which must be coordinated.

Moreover, she must go to the River Kingdom battlefield in person.

Although Chiyo retired from the position of the Fourth Kazekage, she is still active on the battlefield.

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade's hurried back and muttered to himself, "This doesn't feel like anything is wrong..."

Arriving at the Hokage's office, Jiraiya said directly: "That guy Xiu is not dead, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up at Jiraiya and said calmly, "Get ready to go to the Land of Rain!"

Jiraiya frowned, "Is he seriously injured?"

"Even if the four Kages joined forces, they wouldn't be able to seriously injure him, right?"

He knew that Xingxia Xiu had mastered time and space-related ninjutsu very early, and later he had Flying Thunder God.

It's too difficult to kill him.

Serious injuries are difficult.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya, somewhat helplessly: "It's okay Xiu, this matter is a bit complicated."

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I knew it."

"However, this situation is a huge loss to the village, right?"

One against four, even if Konoha wins, it will probably suffer heavy losses.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Before, the Four Kages joined forces with Uchiha Madara to besiege Xiu..."

Jiraiya's eyes widened: "Wait, Uchiha Madara... old man, you... you are not mistaken, right?"

"That guy Uchiha Madara has been dead for decades, right? Could he be resurrected?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eye twitched: "Hear me out!"

Jiraiya immediately shut up, but his face was still full of disbelief.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Uchiha Madara is not dead. He used the Uchiha clan's ultimate illusion technique to deceive the first and second generations at the cost of losing his sight. He has been lurking in the dark to carry out the Eye of the Moon plan."

"Gather the nine tailed beasts, then become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, perform the Moon Eye Plan, and make everyone in the ninja world fall into an illusion, thus achieving peace."

Jiraiya was dumbfounded.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "You also know about the Samsara Eye. Uchiha Madara obtained the power of the First Daemon and opened the Samsara Eye."

"Okay, this matter must be kept secret."

"You go to the Land of Rain, and Kushina will go with you. Let Kushina show the power of the Jinchūriki. Iwagakure will definitely send out the Five-Tails Jinchūriki. Then we can capture the Five-Tails Jinchūriki!"

Jiraiya's expression was serious: "The Samsara Eye... the Ten-Tails, so that guy Xiu wanted to collect the nine tailed beasts first."

"The Moon Eye Project, there's no way the Tsuchikage and the others would agree to such a plan. If we join forces with them, we can completely join forces to deal with Uchiha Madara."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly: "Uchiha Madara has been killed by Xiu."

Jiraiya was stunned: "What?"

"Didn't Uchiha Madara open the Samsara Eye, the legendary eye of the Sage of Six Paths? This..."

Jiraiya scratched his head.

A good while.

Jiraiya left the Hokage Building feeling a little dizzy.

The amount of information was a bit overwhelming and the impact was a bit too great for him to digest for a while.

"Nagato..."

Jiraiya thought about what Hoshita Hide had done in Rain Village and couldn't help but secretly wonder: "Did this guy already know that Nagato had the Rinnegan?"

"The Rinnegan... could it be the child of destiny?" Jiraiya couldn't help but smile bitterly at the thought.

If we talk about Destiny's Child, Xing Xia Xiu is more like it.

Also, some time ago, the Toad Immortal said that there is a power that is enough to change destiny.

What could it be?

Samsara Eye?
Jiraiya couldn't figure it out, so he immediately jumped out to find Minato Namikaze.

He was going to leave with Minato Namikaze and the others and head to the Land of Rain.

after one day.

Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, Shinnosuke Sarutobi, Kushina Uzumaki, as well as Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara arrived in the Land of Rain.

However, Kakashi, Uchiha Madara, Obito, and Nohara Rin did not follow Minato Namikaze and the others to the most dangerous front line, but were left in the medical team on the border, responsible for protecting the medical team.

"Why didn't Minato-sensei take us with him? He really looks down on us, doesn't he?"

Watching Minato Namikaze leave, Uchiha Obito was very unwilling.

Kakashi was very calm: "Are you sure you won't pee your pants if you encounter an enemy?"

Uchiha Obito instantly got angry: "Kakashi, you are too contemptuous!"

"I want to duel with you!"

Kakashi turned and walked away, ignoring him.

He had heard from his father Hatake Sakumo that in such a war, the front line was extremely dangerous and it would be too easy for a Genin who had just graduated to be killed.

Therefore, without sufficient experience, Genin like them generally would not go to such dangerous places. They would often do some less dangerous tasks and adapt to the battlefield step by step.

Although he was confident in his own abilities, Kakashi believed that his father was right.

There can be no rush.

Watching Kakashi leave, Uchiha Obito could only scream in anger.

the other side.

After leaving the medical team, Minato Namikaze and the other three sped up.

"It's raining!"

Minato Namikaze suddenly looked up, and a drizzle began to fall from the gloomy sky.

But Uzumaki Kushina frowned and shouted, "Someone is coming here with bad intentions!"

Jiraiya and the other two immediately stopped.

Namikaze Minato squatted down and pointed his finger at the ground: "Eight people, two teams, very fast."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke said, "It looks like this is the Iwagakure infiltration team, heading for the medical team?"

"There's a hole in the defense up front."

Jiraiya was not nervous at all and smiled: "This is normal. We are short of troops and there is no way to avoid any loopholes."

"Besides, the Iwagakure can't do it either."

"arrive!"

Jiraiya's gaze narrowed, and his smile faded.

The sound of footsteps was already ringing in my ears, and then quickly stopped.

One by one, the Iwagakure ninjas appeared in the sight of Minato Namikaze and the other three.

"It's Jiraiya!"

"That one with yellow hair, could that be Konoha's Yellow Flash?"

The two experienced Iwagakure jonin couldn't help but change color when they saw Jiraiya and his three companions.

And, their eyes soon fell on the obviously different Uzumaki Kushina.

The chakra coat covering the entire body is so eye-catching.

However, they did not recognize Uzumaki Kushina as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Bones crackled as Uzumaki Kushina said, "Leave them to me!"

Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but neither of them spoke. Instead, they looked at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya is the captain of this operation.

Jiraiya glanced at Uzumaki Kushina, then at the Iwagakure ninja opposite him, and thinking of what Sarutobi Hiruzen had told him before, he smiled and said, "Okay, we'll help you raid the formation."

"It's a good opportunity for me to see your strength as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

The Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki!
The Iwagakure exclaimed upon hearing this.

"Kyuubi Jinchuriki, really?"

"I'm afraid it's that guy, there's something wrong with her eyes."

"But, that chakra coat seems different from Lao Zi and Han's."

The Iwagakure ninjas were not inexperienced. At least two of the jonin knew about the existence of the jinchūriki and had seen the tailed beast coats.

But it is completely different from Uzumaki Kushina's golden outfit.

The Iwagakure ninja was still in shock, but Uzumaki Kushina had already walked to the front, raised her right hand, and the Rasengan condensed rapidly.

Jiraiya and the other two at the back couldn't help but blink their eyes when they saw this.

Sure enough, accompanied by a sharp buzzing sound, the Rasengan expanded and changed, and the Wind Style Rasenshuriken appeared.

"Damn, this technique is..."

"Yes, it's the same jutsu that Hoshita Hide used to attack Tsuchikage-sama!"

"Be careful, if you get hit by this level of chakra, you might die."

"Also, this jutsu can be thrown like a crazy shuriken!"

A Rock Ninja Jonin recognized the Wind Style Rasenshuriken and immediately shouted with a change of color.

The three Iwagakure Chunins immediately formed hand seals and pressed their hands to the ground.

Rumble!
The ground shook and stone walls rose from the ground.

Uzumaki Kushina shouted: "Shinnosuke!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke formed seals with his hands: "Understood!"

The next moment, the ground beneath Uzumaki Kushina's feet rose up, forming a stone pillar that lifted Uzumaki Kushina up into the sky.

Looking down from above, Uzumaki Kushina threw the wind style Rasenshuriken in her hand.
