Chapter 935: Cold-Bloodedness and Turtle Island!
Chapter 935: Cold-Bloodedness and Turtle Island!
"Raikage-sama, we have detected the presence of a large Akatsuki force!"
A Cloud Ninja intelligence officer, having received the information through a special communication method, immediately reported to the Raikage sitting behind him.
Whoosh!
Ai was the first to stand up and walk to the sand table, asking, "Where did they appear, and how many are there?"
In the original plot, the water ball-like surveillance ninjutsu had not been used yet.
"They were spotted in the north of the Iron Country, and there are tens of thousands of them in total, all of them are white, humanoid monsters!"
The intelligence officer tried to explain.
The place where the enemy appeared was somewhat desolate, otherwise, they would have been discovered immediately instead of being found after splitting their forces.
However, the reconnaissance ninjas would surely search for the origin of these White Erosion armies and then discover the separated White Erosion squads.
When it comes to management and economics, ninjas can be ridiculed without hesitation, as they genuinely lack understanding in these fields.
Even if they all know how to read and write, it doesn't change this fact.
But in terms of intelligence and combat, ninjas are inherently gifted. With proper preparation, they can thoroughly gather information about the White Erosion.
As this is just the beginning, they have only discovered the White Erosion army so far.
Given more time, they will undoubtedly uncover all the intelligence, characteristics, and other details about the White Erosion.
Compared to ninjas, the intelligence personnel from Tang Ping's original world, aside from having advanced equipment, are inferior in every other aspect.
Even with advanced equipment, they might not have the upper hand against ninjas who possess various reconnaissance ninjutsu and secret techniques.
Never challenge a professional in their field with your amateur interests.
Ninjas dedicate their entire lives to intelligence work, so the gap in skills is genuinely astonishing.
After hearing the intelligence report, the Five Kage also realized that Akatsuki had indeed mobilized a large army, not just a small group of members as they had imagined.
"I never imagined that such creatures existed in the Ninja World!"
Great Tree's gaze was fixed on the White Erosion, projected using illusion techniques, as he muttered in disbelief.
He had never encountered such beings before, and now not only had they appeared, but they were present in such staggering numbers.
Nearly ten thousand of them (one thousand attacking by sea and nine thousand by land)!
If it were just one or two, it might be tolerable, but such a massive number was beyond comprehension.
"Regardless, we must not allow them to enter the Land of Lightning under any circumstances!"
Ai's tone was resolute and unwavering.
As for the several small countries along the White Erosion army's route, he didn't utter a single word about them.
He intended to let them fend for themselves.
For Ai, his sole concern was the protection of the Land of Lightning, and he naturally wouldn't care about other small countries, even if they were part of the Allied Forces.
The greater good takes precedence!
These small ninja villages only needed to endure, while the larger ninja villages had more to consider.
The other Kage, including Great Tree and Yekawa, had no objections to Ai's attitude.
They were well aware that their battles often caused collateral damage to the smaller ninja villages, and they didn't feel any sympathy.
Moreover, these small ninja villages served as deliberate buffer zones, and now they were fulfilling their intended purpose. There was no room for sentimentality.
Even if these buffer zones could provide the slightest advantage, they would not hesitate to let them make sacrifices.
The daimyos behind them, upon learning the truth, would only praise them for their actions.
In the Ninja World, this was the norm.
Just like the daimyos and nobles, even if they knew that hundreds of thousands or even millions of refugees had perished, they remained unmoved.
"Given their marching speed, it will take them about half a month to reach the borders of the Land of Lightning. We can take this time to devise ways to weaken them and gather more intelligence!"
The Cloth-Clad Ninja suggested.
As the Raikage's secret technique, she was far from being just a pretty face. Instantly, she came up with an excellent proposal.
They could dispatch a team to ambush the enemy along the way.
Such ambush tactics were second nature to ninjas.
"Agreed!"
Jiraiya nodded in approval.
Naturally, the others had no objections.
As for the actual location of the decisive battle, they had already reached a silent understanding.
At the Border of the Lightning Country!
This was a strategic move for logistics and territorial advantage.
If they were within the Lightning Country's borders, resupplying would be a breeze, and they'd have the home field advantage.
At the border, they also didn't have to worry about the war affecting the Lightning Country.
"By the way, is Naruto and his team doing alright?"
Jiraiya voiced his concern.
Naruto!
He was hidden away in the Cloud Hidden Village, learning how to become a perfect Jinchuriki.
Shisui wanted to capture all nine Tailed Beasts to fuse them into the Ten-Tails, which meant he wouldn't spare the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails.
(They didn't know they could use the Tailed Beasts' Chakra as a substitute!)
"Don't worry, only I know the location, there's no way Akatsuki can find it!"
Ai exuded confidence.
The place he referred to was, of course, 'Turtle Island'.
To become a perfect Jinchuriki, they also needed the real waterfall on the island, so they entrusted Killer B to Naruto.
With Killer B watching over the island, which could also move, Ai was naturally brimming with confidence.
Normally, this would be the case.
The problem was, someone else knew Naruto's whereabouts.
Yes, this person was Tang Ping.
He knew the importance of Naruto, so he had already planted a seed on him. Although he couldn't affect or harm Naruto, finding his location was not difficult.
Spiritual Energy!
Tang Ping had planted a spiritual energy seed in Naruto, and with his control over spiritual energy, knowing Naruto's location was not a challenge, despite the Chakra on Naruto's body.
He also had his eyes on Turtle Island.
Of course, he wouldn't act himself; he would let Akatsuki make the move.
The focus wasn't on capturing Naruto and Killer B but on forcing them into the battlefield. Without Naruto, the Allied Forces would be swept away, which didn't align with Tang Ping's plan.
A Balanced Fight!
At least, that's how the initial battle should be.
So, Tang Ping had to continuously buff the Allied Forces.
Because the White Eye Wolf side had become too strong.
Don't be fooled by the Five Great Shinobi Villages; their strength far surpassed the original storyline.
But the issue was that Akatsuki had gained more than just several Shadow Level powerhouses.
Not to mention, he had also given the Impure World Reincarnation of Tobirama to Kabuto.
Damn it!
It was already outrageous to have the Impure World Reincarnation of Madara, and now with Tobirama, they were after the Allied Forces' lives!
It could only be said that Akatsuki had become too strong, so the two Jinchurikis needed to return.
As for the Akatsuki members who would raid Turtle Island?
Led by Konan, with Kakuzu, Kisame, and Sasuke, a total of four people.
Deidara was not included.
He was an artist who pursued 'Explosions as Art', and he wouldn't side with them. As long as Akatsuki provided him with a stage to perform, he didn't care what he had to do, even if it meant destroying the world.
Naturally, no one would bring him along.
South of the Lightning Country!
About ten kilometers off the coast, on a vast island with countless sword-like stone pillars, a figure stood on the nearby sea surface.
Yes, it was Tang Ping.
He was dressed in the Akatsuki uniform, wearing a bone mask, and staring blankly at the distant island.
Suddenly, a four-person squad walked towards him on the seawater.
A distance of ten kilometers was indeed challenging for ordinary people.
But for ninjas, especially powerful ones, it was just a matter of less than an hour.
Step by step, the four arrived and stood silently beside Tang Ping.
However, their inner thoughts were far from the calmness they displayed.
Impossible!
This was the common thought among them.
Currently, Akatsuki didn't have many members, only around seven in total, but there were already four of them here.
Among the remaining three, Deidara was a crazy artist.
In other words, Akatsuki had already become Tang Ping's plaything.
Among the four, Konan, Kisame, and Sasuke were well-known.
Kakuzu, strictly speaking, was under Konan's command, but he later pledged his loyalty to Tang Ping, handling tasks that Tang Ping couldn't openly take on.
Tang Ping turned around and, facing the four, spoke.
