Chapter 212 The Coming War
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you, Aoba?"
Although Ino hesitated in her words, the expectation in her eyes was almost overflowing.
Her adorable appearance made it impossible for Shirokumo Aoba to refuse.
"It's okay, there were already a large group of people."
"I want to go!"
Ino was getting impatient.
And you?
She then looked at Shikamaru and Choji with a kind expression.
"Uh...we won't go, Choji, Konohamaru, let's go get some ramen."
Shikamaru decisively refused and pulled Konohamaru towards the shopping street.
"Huh? But I want to go."
Konohamaru tried to struggle, but couldn't break free.
Shikamaru was speechless; this kid had absolutely no sense of propriety.
If you dare to go along as a third wheel, you'll probably get your head smashed by Ino when no one's around.
"Ino, remember to assemble at the training ground this afternoon."
After saying that, Shikamaru took Konohamaru and ran away.
"Qingye, please have some!"
Choji stuffed a bag of potato chips into Shirakumo Aoba's hand, and then followed behind.
Seeing this, Moegi and Ise Udon hesitated for a moment, but still followed Shikamaru and the others.
Bai Yunqingye could only shake his head as he watched the group flee.
On the way back.
Shirokumo Aoba also introduced Kurotsuchi's identity to Ino.
"Speaking of which, the ninjas from Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure have already arrived in Konoha. Why haven't your Kirigakure ninjas arrived yet?"
Shirokumo Aoba inquired about Terumi Mei.
Mei Terumi's expression became slightly unnatural. "Although Kirigakure isn't far from Konoha, it involves crossing an ocean, so it's normal for the journey to be a bit slow. Could it be..."
Mei Terumi's tone changed, becoming aggrieved.
"Are you disgusted with your sister and want to kick her out?"
"I didn't mean that, I was just curious."
Go home.
Baiyun Qingye went to the kitchen to cook.
Ino also ran in to help.
Because she used to make her own bento boxes often, Ino was able to do some simple preparation work.
Meanwhile, Yakumo and Kurotsuchi have already clashed outside.
Mei Terumi and Hinata watched the battle from the sidelines.
"Hmph! Let me see the strength of your Kurama clan!"
"I also want to see the strength of the Tsuchikage's disciples!"
The two finished exchanging harsh words.
"Melting Escape: Lime Condensation Technique!"
Black Earth quickly formed hand seals and spat out a large amount of white, viscous liquid.
This is her molten escape technique.
However, it is different from the Lava Release technique of Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, which combines high-intensity destructive power with defensive power.
Her Meltfall ability is primarily used for auxiliary control.
Kurotsuchi's Lava Release technique wasn't fast, and Yakumo easily dodged it.
But the next moment, Heitu leaped high into the air again.
He formed a hand seal again.
"Water Release: Water Horn Technique!"
She spat out another jet of water, this time targeting the previous Lava Release technique.
The force of the water flow rapidly expanded the attack range of the Lava Release technique.
Seeing this, Yakumo quickly retreated, trying to escape the range of Lava Release.
But they were still a step too late.
Yakumo's feet were encased in Lava Release, rendering her unable to move.
Kurotsuchi let out a soft groan, clenched his right fist, and used the Weighted Rock Technique at the same time.
Like a cannonball, it charged towards Yakumo and quickly reached him.
"You've already lost!"
After saying that, Kurotsuchi threw a punch at Yakumo.
However, her punch pierced right through Yakumo's body.
Hei Tu's expression changed drastically, because the other party's body had slowly dissipated like a wisp of green smoke.
"Illusion?! When?"
"When did you begin to have the illusion that I didn't use illusion magic?"
Yakumo's voice echoed from all directions around Kurodo.
Kurotsuchi suddenly realized that the outside world was entirely occupied by Yakumo.
She seems to be trapped by her own molten escape technique.
She immediately disrupted the chakra within her body, trying to dispel the genjutsu, but the surrounding environment remained completely unchanged.
"W-what happened?"
Kurotsuchi looked bewildered, but Yakumo had already surrounded them.
The real world.
Mei Terumi and Hinata were getting a little bored.
Because after Kurotsuchi released a Lava Release spell, she remained motionless.
It's obvious without even guessing that they've fallen under an illusion.
Much later.
Lunch was all prepared, and Baiyun Qingye went out to invite a few people in for lunch.
They found Heitu squatting on the ground with his knees drawn up to his chest, his eyes no longer shining.
They looked like they'd been completely ruined.
"It's alright, your Lava Release technique is already quite powerful."
Yakumo seemed to be comforting the other person, but there was something strange about it.
He was about to call the others into the house when he saw Jingyin rushing over in a panic.
"Aoba, Lady Tsunade has something urgent to discuss with you."
……
"Teacher, what happened?"
Upon learning that Tsunade had an urgent matter, Shirakumo Aoba had no choice but to temporarily leave behind his room full of girlfriends and head to the Hokage Building.
Tsunade's expression was extremely unpleasant. "Today, Itachi Uchiha sent back some information."
"What intelligence?"
Baiyun Qingye was somewhat surprised.
boom!
She slammed her hand on the table. "Rasa plans to use the Chunin Exams as an opportunity to launch a war within Konoha. To this end, they have hired an organization called Akatsuki to carry out a decapitation operation."
"That's it? And then what?"
Shirokumo Aoba thought Pain was coming to carry rice, but this is what happened.
"That's it? How can you be so calm, kid?"
Tsunade frowned. She was already anxiously pacing around, and this brat was still making sarcastic remarks.
"Isn't this something that was expected? I'm more curious about how Itachi Uchiha managed to get the information back."
Baiyun Qingye was very curious.
Tsunade was taken aback upon hearing this.
It seems that's indeed the case. When they were planning to hold the Chunin Exams, which involved the five major ninja villages, they mentioned the possibility of other villages taking advantage of the situation.
She opened her mouth, deciding to answer Baiyun Qingye's question first.
"It was a special sealing technique. Itachi Uchiha sealed a genjutsu in the eye of a crow. After I saw it, I was pulled into the genjutsu world, and then he gave me the information."
Is it a transfer seal...?
"There's such a miraculous sealing technique?!"
The white clouds and green leaves feigned surprise.
"The Uchiha clan is, after all, a ninja clan that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. It's normal for them to have some secret techniques. Tell me first how you plan to deal with the Sand Village's actions."
"Since Sunagakure is preparing for war, then we should also prepare for war."
Bai Yunqingye said matter-of-factly.
"War..." Tsunade hesitated.
Seeing Tsunade's furrowed brows, Shirakumo Aoba pondered for a moment before asking.
"Why do you think the Sand Village would want to launch a war against Konoha at this time?"
Tsunade paused for a moment, "Because of resources."
This is the root cause of every Shinobi World War.
Baiyun Qingye nodded, "That's right, it's because of resources. Sunagakure and Konoha belong to different camps, but Konoha has the best resources in the entire ninja world, while Sunagakure is now struggling to survive. Naturally, the two different camps will compete for limited resources."
What are you trying to say?
"Teacher, do you think that if Konoha and Sunagakure became one family, would there still be war between them?"
