Chapter 619: The War Begins
Darui ordered Xi to take the wounded, children and women to Konoha Village first, while he took the remaining Kumogakure ninjas to set up a defense line on the spot to resist the White Zetsu army.
Asuma also stayed to fight with him, and at the same time asked the sensor ninja to transmit the information of the Hidden Cloud Village back to Konoha Village.
Ino went to the Hidden Cloud Village to fight the big boss behind the scenes, and the retired old ninja Haiyi came to the Sensing Class to take command.
At this time, Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya, Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, Kakashi and Shikaku were also in the sensing team, anxiously receiving information from various villages.
Haiyi constantly collects information from all over the place.
"The Iwagakure Village said that they were attacked by the Reincarnated Second Tsuchikage and many Reincarnated Ninjas. The Third Tsuchikage is still leading the ninjas to resist, and they have suffered heavy casualties so far."
"The Fifth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village said that they had already abandoned the village. The Second and Fourth Mizukages, who were resurrected by the enemy, and several Ninja Swordsmen were attacking very hard. Terumi Mei was leading the villagers to retreat to Konoha. During the retreat, Momochi Zabuza stayed behind to cover their retreat and died heroically. His body was retrieved by Bai at the risk of his life."
Kakashi's face darkened when he heard the news. He and Zabuza had a certain admiration for each other, so he was in a bad mood when he heard the news.
"Asuma said that all the people in the Hidden Cloud Village have evacuated, and the losses are very heavy. Many ninjas, led by Killer Bee, died in the battle. The total number of ninjas and villagers who died in the battle must be over 10,000. Now the Fourth Raikage has resigned, and Darui has taken over as the Fifth Raikage. Their wounded and children will arrive at Konoha Village in half a day. The Hidden Cloud Ninja also mentioned that those strange white enemies have the ability to camouflage. It is with this ability that they were able to bypass the Hidden Cloud Village's warning barrier and launch a surprise attack."
"The Sand Village has only one enemy, and that is the reincarnated Nagato. They also suffered heavy losses. At the critical moment, Nagato was stopped by Gaara. Currently, the main force of the Sand Village is retreating towards Konoha."
"The Hidden Rain Village was attacked by the reincarnated Salamander Hanzo."
"The Takigakure Village was attacked by a large number of unidentified ninjas."
"Lady Tsunade found some survivors in Kusagakure Village and asked the village how to resettle them. In addition, Sasuke has led his men to attack Kizuna Castle, and Kazuma has turned into a terrifying monster. The first attack failed due to the interference of the Box of Bliss, and the second attack is being organized."
"The situation over there at Ino is a bit bad too. According to her, the Outer Path Demon Statue has absorbed the Eight-Tails and the remaining Two-Tails, and has now become extremely powerful. She named that monster the 'Ten-Tails'. She is trying her best to maintain the situation and hopes that our Jinchūriki will be well protected. She can still suppress the Ten-Tails now, but if the Ten-Tails absorbs another tailed beast, she won't be able to suppress it."
The sensing team was operating at full capacity. Haiyi didn't have Ino's ability to sense things a hundred miles away with just his eyes closed. He wore an instrument to enhance his sensing ability and served as the center with some difficulty, receiving information sent back from all over the place.
There is no doubt that the enemy launched an all-out attack and all the ninja villages were badly beaten.
At present, it seems that Konoha is the only one that has not been attacked, but is it really so? Several people discussed in a low voice.
Should they accept the refugees and wounded from various villages? The two advisors were reluctant, but since the Fourth Hokage and Jiraiya insisted on accepting them, they did not object.
Tsunade still has to return to the village to research the White Zetsu issue, so they asked Kakashi to rush to the front line immediately to take over the command of the army, and at the same time join forces with Sasuke to resolve the issue of the Box of Elysium first.
As for Ino, it is actually quite troublesome. From the perspective of the Sensing Squad, the current Hidden Cloud Village is just a few large balls of chakra like dark clouds fighting each other. There is also a ball of chakra the size of a green bean mixed in among them. That should be the poor, weak and helpless Fourth Raikage.
If measured by the amount of chakra, this is a fight between gods. Even the Fourth Raikage seems so weak. This kind of fight is far beyond the comprehension of ordinary ninjas. Who will win or lose? I really can't tell.
But we can't just ignore it.
Namikaze Minato was about to go to help Ino himself, but Jiraiya stopped him: "Minato, you have a good brain, so stay in the village and I will go help little Ino."
Both advisors agreed to this plan, and Minato was a little hesitant. In fact, he was just a fast assassin-type ninja. In terms of head-on combat ability, he was not as strong as Jiraiya who had activated the Sage Mode.
"Teacher, has your Sage Mode improved again?"
"Ah? Ah, ah, yes, yes. Ahem, there is some progress."
Kakashi went back to the village to replace Tsunade, and Jiraiya went to support Ino, and the two set off immediately.
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En were responsible for receiving the wounded and villagers from various villages, while Minato led his own Anbu to patrol the village to prevent White Zetsu from disguising himself and coming in to cause sabotage. Konoha's war machine was already in full operation.
In less than an hour, Tsunade burst out with all her strength and ran back to Konoha from the Hidden Grass Village at lightning speed. As soon as she returned to the village, she immediately took over Shizune's job.
Master and disciple work together to uncover the secrets in White Zetsu's body.
From the time Mabui teleported White Zetsu's body to Konoha Village to the time Tsunade came back, it actually took less than half a day, and Shizune had basically completed all the preliminary work.
She quickly reported: "It looks like Chakra's 100% camouflage ability, but in fact, this thing is not a virus or bacteria, but a fungus."
Tsunade looked serious: "Yes, that's right, this is a manifestation of Wood Release."
Shizune continued, "I tested samples of ergot, psilocybin, cordyceps, and Aspergillus, and found that the fungi in their bodies would wither under certain conditions, and that they needed to continuously consume a certain amount of nutrients to maintain this disguise."
Shizune doesn't understand Wood Release. In fact, Hashirama and Ino don't understand Wood Release either. They can just clap their hands and it's done. What are they researching for? Tsunade did a lot of research in the past, but after she mastered this bloodline limit, she never thought about it again and instead went drinking and gambling. Shizune, on the other hand, has been using scientific methods to analyze Wood Release.
Tsunade looked through the various data: "It's hard to define the matter of nutrient intake, but no matter what, these guys have some characteristics of fungi in their bodies, and they are definitely not resistant to high temperatures."
Coming to the conclusion, Tsunade immediately issued orders using her identity.
Cut down the trees! All the trees in the Death Forest were cut down. The fat men from the Akimichi family went to chop wood and then set a fire in the village. Burn! Raise the temperature in the village.
This kind of natural flame is not a ninjutsu, and even Wood Release cannot absorb it. As long as the temperature of the entire village is raised by ten degrees on the existing basis, the disguised White Zetsu may not be burned to death, but they will definitely reveal their flaws.
Where the leaves fly, the fire will also be ignited. It's time for the fire to illuminate the village! We don't need enemies to destroy Konoha, this time we will burn it ourselves!
