It's better to be a rebel ninja than to be a Hokage

"Konoha——"

A green figure launched a powerful spinning kick at the enemy in front of it at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.

"——Giant Cyclone!"

The black magnetic sand surrounding the third-generation Wind Shadow human puppet had no time to react in defense, and with just one kick, the body of the human puppet was shattered!

This unique physical attack is highly recognizable throughout the ninja world.

It was Konoha's proud blue beast, Might Guy!

However, facing the human puppets created by Scorpion, who developed the unique puppetry from the Sand Village to the extreme, Konoha's information was obviously insufficient.

Kai's attack was undoubtedly effective, and there was no way the fragments in front of him could be controlled by the puppeteer's chakra lines again.

But the puppet itself is a dispensable consumable.

The core of the human puppet - the detachable chakra core on the puppet's body is still intact.

The next moment, the chakra core representing the third-generation Kazekage was installed in a brand new human puppet under the precise control of the chakra lines.

The third Kazekage was thus "resurrected".

The third-generation Kazekage, who mastered the bloodline limit called "Magnetic Release", once again caused the black magnetic sand to fly all over the sky.

"It's really meaningless to fight these puppets. The battle can't end unless the puppeteer himself is dealt with?"

Faced with the "resurrected" Third Kazekage, in order to prevent himself from continuing to advance and falling into a trap, Kai chose to retreat to a safe distance where he could master both attack and defense.

"If I still had the Sharingan..."

Beside Gai, Kakashi stared in annoyance at the countless puppets that formed an encirclement in front of him.

The Sharingan's powerful insight can easily see through the chakra lines that connect the puppet's actions, and naturally it can find the puppeteer's body along the direction of the chakra lines.

But now, even if he knew that the puppeteer was hiding among these puppets, Kakashi, who had lost his Sharingan, had no way to confirm it.

"This guy's methods are too troublesome. He also has a lot of puppets that can use secret techniques and bloodline limits. How did Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto deal with him?"

Facing Scorpion of the Red Sand, Might Guy became even more surprised at the fact that he would die at the hands of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.

"If it's Sasuke who has the Sharingan, he might really have a way."

Kakashi expressed his guess.

In the previous several Ninja World Wars, there was enough intelligence to crack most of the attack methods of the puppet masters from Sunagakure.

The most direct way to defeat a puppeteer is to find the puppeteer's real body.

However, such a direct method is often the most difficult to implement in actual combat.

But if it is the Sharingan that can detect even the slightest chakra, it can obviously do such a thing easily.

"Eyes...it would be nice if Neji was here."

In such a difficult situation, even people like Might Guy are eager to get help.

But the various explosions coming from other parts of Konoha also indicated that the desire for assistance was a luxury.

If the dead Red Sand Scorpion appeared in front of Gai and Kakashi.

The enemies in other places in Konoha are probably the members of the Akatsuki organization who died at the hands of Naruto and Sasuke.

"The most troublesome thing now is that even though we are in our own village, the enemy's invasion has miraculously cut off the information transmission between us! The intelligence department that was invaded at the beginning has not yet recovered. It can be judged that Mr. Haiyi, who can use the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan, is now unable to coordinate and transmit information in real time - but as the fifth-generation Hokage, she should have the means to temporarily replace Mr. Haiyi so that the Konoha ninjas who were scattered by the enemy and fighting separately can share information. After all..."

Tsunade's summoning beast is a giant slug named Slither, which can split its huge body into countless small clones. The Slither clones can provide timely treatment and transmit information to the frontline ninjas through Tsunade as the contractor.

Therefore, there is no reason for Tsunade to allow the enemy to cut off intelligence.

Kakashi turned his head and looked in the direction of the Konoha office, which he had not noticed before when he was fighting with the Red Sand Scorpion.

What Kakashi saw was a scene that shocked him.

That huge purple barrier - he never thought it would appear in Konoha a second time!

……

Clang——! ! !

The strangely shaped chakra knife that was thrown out with the wind escape technique bounced off the equally strangely shaped giant sickle.

"Everyone, don't let that guy get your blood! He has a strange secret technique that can use blood to injure others to the same degree through self-injury!"

Asuma Sarutobi warned everyone to keep their distance from Hidan, pulled out a brand new chakra knife from the ninja tool bag at his waist, held the knife with both hands again, and assumed a fighting posture ready to go.

But Asuma's gaze was not only wary of Hidan. The masked ninja next to Hidan was the most troublesome of the two Akatsuki members in front of him.

"If your luck had a smell, it would definitely be a musty stench that could not be concealed. Has that little-known evil god finally abandoned you?"

"Kakuzu! Shut your mouth! I will never tolerate blasphemy against God!"

That's right, Kakuzu was also standing next to Hidan.

Just like the first time Asuma encountered them, Kakuzu is currently just a "bystander" and is not in a hurry to join forces with Hidan.

At least we need to get rid of Feidan's strange secret technique before he makes a move.

"Hong, listen to me carefully..."

Asuma lowered his voice and spoke to Yuhi Kurenai who was fighting alongside him: "Next, I will make a feint attack with the others, and you take the opportunity to use illusion on the two of them!"

Asuma witnessed Uchiha Sasuke using illusion to trick Hidan into forming the ritual barrier necessary to perform the Blood of Death, and he also witnessed the ninja named Tayuya using illusion to control Kakuzu, creating a winning opportunity to defeat Kakuzu.

He planned to replicate his previous experience and defeat Hidan and Kakuzu once again.

……

"day by day!"

The prominent meridians around Hyuga Neji's eyes were a sign that he was injecting chakra into his Byakugan and using his Byakugan.

Of all the people present, he was the only one who could accurately lock onto the huge white bird hovering high above the hospital.

"I see!"

The bond they had developed over the years with Neji made them understand each other perfectly.

Tenten pulled out a giant scroll of ninja tools, and the part that was unfolded was even taller than both of her.

This means that this Ninja Tool Scroll contains an extremely terrifying number of Ninja Tools.

And the tools sealed in the ninja tool scroll in Tiantian's hand are not ordinary ninja tools.

The sealing ritual in the unfolded ninja tool scroll does not have the usual word "seal" written on it, but the word "explosion"!

This is a special ninja tool scroll that contains detonating tags inside ninja tools!

Now, these ninja tools with detonating tags were thrown at Neji by Tenten.

Neji had already assumed the starting position for the Hyuga clan's special physical technique - Baguazhang.

"Back to the days!"

Neji began to spin, and the chakra gushing out from the chakra veins all over his body formed an absolute defense for Neji.

But Huitian is not only used for defense.

The ninja tools that Tiantian threw at Ningji were all accurately caught by Ningji through his terrifying eyesight of the Byakugan and bounced back into the air!

All of the countless explosive clays in the shape of small flying birds that were spit out from the beak of a huge white bird in the sky were shot away by the ninja tools, causing the explosive clays to explode prematurely in mid-air!

"Is that guy so crazy that he even attacked a hospital?!"

Sakura, who had brought Shikamaru to the hospital not long ago, also looked up at the sky as a member of the battle.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the same eyesight as Neji. Even if she finally caught the silhouette of the giant white bird, she would lose the target in the blink of an eye.

"This isn't a solution. We can't rely on Neji alone for defense!"

Xiao Li, who was assisting Xiao Ying in fighting and evacuating the wounded in the hospital, brought the worst news at the moment: "There are too many wounded. We can't evacuate them all in a short time!"

This means they must engage the enemy who has the ability to fly.

But now they don’t even have any means of defense, so how can they target the air?

"Leave it to us!"

When Sakura and the others were at a loss, a familiar voice was heard from the ninjas who arrived to support them in time.

"Ino! Shikamaru—and Mr. Choza!!!"

Sakura exclaimed, but she was confused about the composition of the people who came.

"The Anbu named 'Light' is coming back to support the Hokage."

The smart and perceptive Shikamaru discovered the doubts in Sakura's heart. The huge purple barrier in the Hokage's office was too conspicuous for the Konoha ninjas, who had insufficient intelligence communication due to their scattered operations.

As a member of the Hokage's guard squad, Deng's top priority is to protect the Hokage.

Their top priority is to protect Konoha Hospital!

Once medical resources suffer a devastating blow, subsequent casualties will only rise sharply!

"I already have a plan!"

Shikamaru said that his words always bring enough confidence to those around him.

He looked at Choji's father and said seriously, "Mr. Choji, please help me!"

"Leave it to me, drink—"

Akimichi Chouza, who looked like a "more mature Chouji", shouted loudly, and his whole body began to swell in an instant.

The art of super multiplication!

In an instant, Akimichi Choza turned into a giant and stood guard in front of Konoha Hospital.

After turning into a giant, Akimichi Choza was so tall that he could look straight at the giant white bird in the sky. On the back of the giant white bird stood Deidara, who had previously destroyed the Konoha Intelligence Department by self-destruction.

"Kid! Konoha is not a place where you can act wild!"

Akimichi Choza swung his fist at Deidara.

But Deidara easily dodged the terrifyingly large fist of Choza Akimichi.

"Damn you! Even if I blow up this ridiculously large pig of yours, it still won't reflect my art at all!"

Deidara roared, but still drove the giant white bird under his feet to fly towards the body of Akimichi Choza that had turned into a giant.

"You are too rude. Mr. Ding Zuo is a flying butterfly."

"What?!!"

The voice behind him startled Deidara.

But Deidara found that he couldn't turn back.

Was the giant's attack a feint?

Yes, it is very easy to hide a few "normal-sized" ninjas with that huge and terrifying body.

"The shadow imitation technique was successful, now is the time, Ino!!!"

Shikamaru, who was also standing on the back of the giant white bird and restraining Deidara with his shadow, shouted.

The butterfly and the deer have already appeared in Konoha's "Pig, Deer and Chou".

Next, it is naturally the pig’s turn for the final blow!

Ino, standing in the huge open palm of Akimichi Choza, aimed both hands at Deidara.

The art of mind turning!

An enemy caught by the Nara clan's shadow mimicry technique will never be able to escape the Yamanaka clan's mind-turning technique!

"Don't try to succeed!"

However, before Ino's spirit entered Deidara's body, Deidara made a final struggle!

This struggle between thoughts will bring the most serious consequences.

Deidara's body began to swell, and Shikamaru, who had personally experienced Deidara's self-destruction attack, immediately felt that something was wrong.

"Ino, stop this jutsu!"

Shikamaru called out to Ino's spirit, which had entered Deidara's body.

"…No! This technique is irreversible!"

Ino's spirit responded through Deidara's mouth.

Since it was a suicidal self-destruction attack, there was certainly no possibility of "regret".

"Damn it!"

Shikamaru cursed, he didn't expect his plan to go so wrong at the last step.

But no matter how angry he was, Shikamaru was able to remain calm at the same time, and he immediately began to change his plans.

"Then keep the explosion away from the hospital! Ino, unleash the Heart Turning Technique immediately!"

Shikamaru made the decision without hesitation.

"What about you?"

Of course, Ino could undo the Heart Turning Technique and keep herself out of it.

But Shikamaru can't do it. Once Deidara gets his body back, Shikamaru must use the shadow imitation technique to continue to restrain him.

At that time, the best result of Deidara's self-destruction attack would be that Shikamaru would definitely die!

"Little brat of the Nara clan, and little girl of the Yamanaka clan, you have done a great job - leave the rest to me!"

In such an urgent situation, a cheerful voice suddenly sounded.

Both Shikamaru and Ino who was possessed by Deidara's body subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.

The person who spoke had long white hair, wore a forehead protector with the word "Oil" written on it, and stood on the body of a big toad.

"Leave it to me, the toad spirit of Myoboku Mountain, Senso Dojin, one of the three legendary ninjas - Jiraiya!"

Jiraiya formed seals with his hands, and the next moment, his hair suddenly grew wildly and incredibly, and grew to where the giant white bird was.

Jiraiya's hair entangled the giant white bird, and his hair immediately began to shorten, pulling the giant white bird towards himself.

"Ino, unleash the Heart Turning Technique!"

Shikamaru, who was also on the back of the giant white bird, once again asked Ino to let her spirit return to her body.

This time Ino did not hesitate, she immediately unleashed the Heart Turning Technique.

"Nara kid, you too should undo the spell and leave!"

Jiraiya also reminded Shikamaru to quickly leave the giant white bird.

But Shikamaru turned a deaf ear to it. It was not until Jiraiya's hair finally pulled the giant white bird to the mouth of the big toad under his feet and he opened his mouth to swallow the giant white bird and the still expanding Deidara that he released the shadow imitation technique and jumped away to prevent himself from being swallowed by the big toad!

But can the explosion be prevented by simply letting the toad swallow Deidara, who has turned into a human bomb?

The doubts that had just arisen in Shikamaru's mind were immediately answered.

bang——

White smoke rose up.

Jiraiya put his hands together and released the summoning jutsu.

The giant toad that swallowed Deidara disappeared in Konoha in an instant.

"This is……"

Shikamaru was unable to react immediately to the sudden action.

"Don't worry, I've already informed Myoboku Mountain in advance, and the toads will be fine."

Jiraiya grinned at Shikamaru, looking like a heartless mischievous boy.

But he quickly looked up in the direction of Konoha's office, and the worry in his eyes could not be concealed.
