Chapter 218: The Missing Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!
Chapter 218: The Missing Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!
On the other side!
Tang Ping and Team 404 successfully provided cover, allowing the team to retreat safely.
The two groups met up several dozen kilometers away.
For ordinary people, this distance would take at least one or two days to cover.
But for shinobi, even a genin could easily reach it in one or two hours.
"Sir!"
Moku Moku, who came to greet them, looked somewhat ashamed and fearful.
He was ashamed because he had been slapped in the face earlier, and fearful because if Tang Ping and his team hadn't been there, the outcome would have been disastrous.
"Continue the retreat. I expect the enemy to catch up soon!"
Tang Ping instructed.
He wasn't particularly concerned about the battle itself.
Here is the translated line:
But for Tang Ping, apart from caring about the people around him, he didn't have much affection for the village, at most just wanting to enjoy the environment and entertainment.
Initially, he had a calm attitude towards this mission.
However, when he received intelligence from the main battlefield, his expression darkened instantly.
The cold and terrifying killing intent even made Moku Moku dare not breathe heavily.
"What the hell are those bastards thinking!"
Tang Ping forcibly suppressed his anger and didn't let it out.
The intelligence contained a lot of information, but the most crucial part was one sentence.
The Nine-Tails went berserk on the main battlefield, severely injuring the Cloud Shinobi and Konoha forces, and the Jinchuriki had gone missing.
This was a scenario Tang Ping had never considered.
It must be said, the real shinobi world, without the 'bonds' and 'passion' halo from the anime, is a completely dark and cruel version.
For example, Uzumaki Kukune had been on the battlefield several times.
Thinking about it, this makes sense.
Tailed Beasts are essentially 'weapons' and using them in key moments like the Great Shinobi War is normal; not using them would be abnormal.
Have you seen the major shinobi villages sending their Jinchuriki to the battlefield?
To think Konoha would be some kind of saint, unwilling to use its fighting power.
How naive!
In the past, it was just that they didn't need to use it, but now, with the Great Shinobi War, they naturally chose to deploy the Jinchuriki.
No wonder Tang Ping didn't encounter Uzumaki Kukune when he returned to the village.
It turns out she had been hidden by Minato Namikaze, ready to serve as a surprise force at a critical moment, catching the Cloud Shinobi's main force off guard.
However, what no one expected was that the Nine-Tails was too terrifying and went out of control on the battlefield.
The current Nine-Tails is in its 'complete' state, not the half-state it would be in Naruto's body in the future, making its power extremely terrifying and losing control quite normal.
What made Tang Ping angry was that the village didn't inform him.
If he had known earlier, he would have paid attention and could have gone to help immediately.
Uzumaki Kukune!
Though they hadn't spent much time together, she truly treated him like a younger brother.
Now you understand why he's reacting this way.
"The most important thing now is to find her, right?"
Hyuga Cangyue also saw the intelligence on the paper and understood why Tang Ping was so angry, so he reminded him softly.
Hearing this, Tang Ping barely managed to control his emotions.
It must be said, if Minato Namikaze were in front of him, he would definitely have scolded him to the point of being covered in dog blood.
Because when the Nine-Tails went berserk, he chose to save more Konoha shinobi over Uzumaki Kukune.
A very typical 'Hokage mindset'.
Even though he knew the choice was right and was aware of Minato's character, Tang Ping was still extremely annoyed.
That's your fiancee!
How cold-blooded, if it were him, he would definitely help family over principle.
As a strong person, if you can't even have the right to be renxing, which means "capricious" or "willful", what's the point of having power?
"We will head to the main force!"
Tang Ping instantly changed the order.
"But...!"
Moku Moku wanted to remind Tang Ping that their mission was not to defeat the Cloud Shinobi army but to drive out the Cloud Shinobi forces that had invaded the Land of Fire, but he was cut off before he could finish.
"Rest assured, they will follow, and once we repel the main force of the Cloud Shinobi, won't our problem be solved?"
Tang Ping's eyes flashed with an authoritative dominance that dared not to be questioned.
Knowing the character of the 'Ebi' Team, he was completely unconcerned about whether they would follow.
And it would be even better if they didn't follow!
They could first 'surround and beat' the Third Raikage. Once the main force of the Cloud Shinobi was repelled, the Cloud Shinobi division army led by the other party would have to retreat immediately to avoid being surrounded.
Attack where the enemy must save!
Tang Ping's move was a stroke of genius, and he was completely unafraid that the other party wouldn't follow.
Originally, he planned to just crush the 'Ebi' Team and the division army under his command, leaving the main force to the village to deal with.
But he hadn't expected this incident, so he couldn't just sit idly by. He decided to resolve the matter in one go.
And this way, he would also have an excuse to rush over immediately.
"Yes, sir!"
Mokutoku Kunito nodded very tactfully.
As an old veteran elite jounin, his greatest strength was being 'practical.' Otherwise, he wouldn't have been assigned to serve as Minato Namikaze's deputy, solely to support his rise to power.
Now, with a new commander, he was naturally willing to follow orders.
Thus, the team quickly changed direction and began moving toward the main force.
"Hao'er, you take command of the team, we'll go ahead!"
Tang Ping handed the task to the other party.
"Yes!"
Yamakai Koji nodded slightly, never refusing any of Tang Ping's orders.
Don't be fooled by his 'Sky-Descended Strong Man' appearance; in reality, he was meticulous and ruthless. It was just that he hadn't had the opportunity to show it yet.
But don't worry, the opportunity would come soon.
Very soon!
People would recognize another side of him, the 'Storm's Wrath.'
Indeed, that was the case.
During the pursuit by the Cloud Shinobi division army led by the 'Ebi' Team, he used traps, bait, and counterattacks to teach the pursuing Cloud Shinobi a lesson.
On the other side!
After Tang Ping and Hyuga Cangyue left the troops and advanced separately, they immediately moved at their fastest speed.
The two battlefields were less than a thousand kilometers apart, which for them was just a few hours' travel.
Body Flick Technique!
Using it to travel, though it consumed a lot of energy, it could increase their speed to several hundred kilometers per hour, almost as fast as flying.
Since they were traveling at full speed, they quickly left the Fire Country and entered the territory of the Hot Spring Country.
Yes, the main forces of Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village were facing off at the border between the Hot Spring Country and the Moon Country.
Only the division army led by the 'Ebi' Team had bypassed the main force of Konoha and invaded the Fire Country, bringing the war inside. Otherwise, they would be fighting to the death in these buffer small countries.
And the destruction caused by both sides' shinobi armies was well understood by all.
In the Shinobi World, small countries were nothing more than buffer zones, battlefields, and plundering grounds for the great powers.
There was once a 'Demigod' from the Rain Country who dared to rebel, but was brutally hammered by several great powers and turned into a dead fish.
Now, even if the Rain Country becomes a battlefield, the other party can only silently watch.
Now you understand why Tang Ping feels that the values of the Shinobi World are skewed?
No matter how much the small countries suffer, how unlucky, or how miserable, it is considered normal by the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
But once they are retaliated against, it's unacceptable, it's unfair, it's a crime, it's a violation of the peace of the Shinobi World.
Tsk!
Indeed, it's a terrifying thought.
Upon arriving at the front lines, Tang Ping and Hyuga Cangyue didn't go to the shinobi army camp but started searching around the battlefield.
At this moment, the battlefield had been devastated by ninjutsu and Tailed Beast Balls, turning it into a barren wasteland.
Especially the massive, deep craters, which just by looking at them, instilled fear.
Disaster-level attacks!
The attacks of the Tailed Beasts were far beyond human capabilities, no wonder they could become the trump cards of the great shinobi villages.
With the Rinnegan, the search efficiency was naturally unmatched by others, so they quickly found something.
A discovery that made Tang Ping feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Black Zetsu!
Uzumaki Kukune had actually fallen into the hands of the other party.
