Konoha's Day

Of course Lu Jiu understands the principle of convincing people with strength.

However, even though he said this every day, he still didn’t understand where this power came from.

"Okay, just go as planned. I will take care of the matter with Yunyin."

"Yes."

"Then, Hayate, Neji, Anko, and Yugao, let's go back to Konoha first."

"Yes."

~~~~~~~~~~~

Behind the sandy slope a thousand meters away from the camp, half of his body was buried in the ground and he looked quietly in the direction of the camp. Yahiko on the side had his back to the camp, sitting on the slope holding a novel book and reading it with gusto. .

There was movement at the gate of the camp. Jue concentrated on taking a look and said, "Someone came out. It's the Hokage and her guards. It seems they are preparing to leave."

"Do you know where they are going?" Yahiko replied, still looking at the book.

"We are heading towards Konoha. We have just heard from other White Zetsus that Kumogakure has attacked the Country of Yu. They must be anxious to go back and deal with this matter."

"Crack~"

Yahiko closed the book, turned his head and asked: "If this is the case, shouldn't the army retreat?"

"I don't know."

"That's it"

Yahiko fell into deep thought. After half a minute, he raised his head with a troubled look on his face.

"If the situation is what I think it is, the situation is not good for us."

"What's wrong?" he asked in confusion.

"Nothing, let's go see Lord Godaime Hokage. I want to confirm something." A wry smile appeared as he spoke.

The Kingdom of Tang is located on the plain near the border of the Kingdom of Thunder. From a distance, you can hear the screams of people fighting, and from time to time there are deafening explosions.

The distance got closer, smoke filled the air, and sparks erupted from time to time along with the sound of metal clashing. The two parties forgot about their lives and fought to kill each other.

On one side was the dark-skinned Kumogakure, and on the other side was the Yuu Ninja who had a smaller number of people.

The numbers of both sides were almost the same, and both had the highest fighting spirit, but the difference in strength was obvious.

They are also chuunin, and Kumogakure's troops are obviously more well-trained. Not only are their individual combat capabilities stronger than the opponent's, but they can also coordinate perfectly even when they meet unfamiliar people, and their combat power can completely crush the opponent.

In particular, one of the men, who had dark skin, white hair, thick lips, and tattoos of thunder and water on each shoulder, was extremely scary.

A broad-leaf sword with a wide palm was swung with great force, and a single blow could take away a life. Even if there were experts who stepped forward to stop him, thunder and lightning flashed from the man's body, and there were few opponents under the sudden acceleration.

In the distance of the battlefield, the Tang Ninja leader couldn't help but sigh as he watched the balance of war tilt towards the opponent little by little.

"Order a retreat and retreat to Luosai City to defend the city with defensive equipment."

"Chief, in this case, half of the Kingdom of Tang will be given to the other party." Some of his subordinates were unwilling to give up.

"What can we do? We can't defend so much land at all. We might as well save our combat power and use the city defense to delay Kumogakure for a while. I hope Konoha's reinforcements will arrive soon."

"This alas"

There were thousands of things that his men wanted to say, but in the end they could only sigh helplessly, then relax the signal and retreat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the Konoha conference room, the elders represented by Sarutobi were discussing relevant matters with Sunagakure's peace envoy.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The door was opened, and a Sunagakure and Konoha ninja came in with various kinds of envelopes and taught Sarutobi and Maki the envelopes.

Sarutobi and Maki took the envelope and opened it. Their expressions couldn't help changing, but they quickly returned to normal, making people think that what they saw before was an illusion.

Maki put the envelope away, bowed to the Sandaime and said: "I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, because there are new changes in the village, I think we'll discuss the armistice agreement later."

Sarutobi took several puffs of cigarette, spit out the smoke, and said comfortably: "It's understandable, but I hope you understand that even if something changes in the north, Konoha can still control the overall situation."

Ma Ji was stunned and chuckled: "Sir, you are joking. I just went back to the meeting to discuss specific matters."

"So good."

At the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Sichuan, at the junction of desert and greenery, the two sides stand opposite each other, guarding each other.

The Akatsuki organization includes Yahiko and Zetsu, Konoha Tenten, Neji, Hayate, Anko, and Yuugao.

Because of Kakuzu Hidan's previous interception, Neji and the others were very rude to him. They did not hide the hostility in their eyes, or put on a soft fist stance, or put their hands on the handles of their swords.

There was a vague atmosphere of arrows and crossbows.

Tiantian squinted his eyes and looked directly at the two of them and said: "You sent people to assassinate me before, and now you are here again. Do you Xiao want to die?"

"Where."

Yahiko shook his shoulders and smiled casually: "As mercenaries, everything we do is only what our employer wants. If you want revenge, you should go to Sunagakure."

"Tch, stop talking about so much useless talk. As enemy mercenaries, what do you want to do when you appear in front of me?"

"Don't be so rude. After all, I am also your senior brother."

"Brother"

Neji and the others were stunned. They wanted to ask but knew it was not the right time. They looked like they were hesitating to speak.

Tiantian smiled and said: "Since you are also a disciple of Master Jiraiya, why did you attack Konoha?"

"As I said, he was hired by Sunagakure."

"In other words, position is more important than identity, right?"

"That's right, but I'm here in my personal capacity now, and I don't want to conflict with you."

"Then, why do you come to me in your personal capacity?"

"I just want to confirm for myself what kind of person you are."

"that is it"

"that is it."

Tiantian sneered, "So have you confirmed it now?"

"There are some, but there are still some that I don't understand."

Yahiko shook his head and sighed: "My childhood experience and Teacher Jiraiya's teachings have made me understand the value of peace, and I have been working hard for it, but..."

"You are hired to participate in a war, which is also called working for peace," Ningji said sarcastically.

After a pause, Yahiko looked at Neji in shock, then smiled.

"I know many people will look at me this way, but it doesn't matter. It's worth sacrificing yourself for true peace."

Zetsu couldn't help but taunted, "Kid, the peace Yahiko talks about is not temporary peace, but eternal peace. How can a guy like you understand Yahiko's greatness."

"Shut up, Zetsu."

Yahiko stared at Zetsu coldly, and Zetsu immediately shut up. Then Yahiko looked at Neji and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my subordinates are ignorant."

"We are enemies to begin with. Even if each other has done something outrageous, there is no need to apologize. But, eternal peace haha~~~" As they said that, several people couldn't help looking at Jue sarcastically, obviously thinking that this guy was doing nothing. Daydreaming.

Ignoring the expressions of these people, Yahiko looked at Tiantian and asked: "Tiantian, do you think so too? Do you think eternal peace will never truly come?"

"Yes, there will be no eternal peace."

Tiantian gave an ironclad answer, and then explained: "As long as you understand the nature of war, you should know that there will be no eternal peace. Unless human desires can be eliminated, war will never disappear."

Having said this, Tiantian continued to add: "Of course, this is just my opinion. Some kind of technology and ideas may appear in the future, and eternal peace may come one day, but for now, it is absolutely impossible. existing."
