Chapter 182: The Bloody Night(1/4)
In the vast rock and soil of the Earth Kingdom, a group of rock ninjas were advancing and searching in pain.
The person or target they are searching for is actually very clear, that is Loess, the son of the third Tsuchikage!
Since the last time Huangtu led a team to search for Deidara and encountered a strong enemy, resulting in the death of a large number of Iwa ninjas, he went alone to find traces of the attackers.
This incident immediately made Onoki extremely angry. Although Deidara's failure in the mission was really hard to accept, Loess's willful behavior was even more difficult for him to accept!
Yes, in Onoki's view, Loess was already willful, or in other words, he had been completely overwhelmed by the sense of shame and hatred, and thus acted in such an irrational manner.
Others can exert such terrifying power alone and easily kill hundreds of ninjas.
Even if the strength of these ninjas is really not that good, having this power is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
But Huang Tu had clearly seen all this but still showed no awe at all. He still wanted to find the traces alone.
This is not willful, this is not irrational, what the hell is the difference between this and committing suicide?
But Huang Tu was the supreme commander at the time, and others could not stop him at all, and there was no news of his departure. How could Onoki not be anxious?
It's just that Onoki only has such a son, and he must find the whereabouts of Loess no matter what, whether he is alive or dead!
"Captain, I have been searching for so long, but there is still no trace of Master Huang Tu."
The sun was constantly shining, and a young Iwa nin finally couldn't help but speak, and his words also made a teammate beside him nod slightly.
For such a long time, Loess has been in a state of silence. Anyone can guess that something unexpected has happened to the Tsuchikage's son.
"Keep looking, everyone."
The captain also sighed slightly, although everyone knew that this task was very difficult because the chance of finding a living person was too low.
Not to mention living people, the probability of finding corpses is very low, but as ninjas they still have to complete their missions.
"Don't forget our identities. No matter what the result is, let's continue looking. At least we are not a team carrying out this mission.
And our efficiency is not low. The Bear Country has already searched, so now there are only two directions to explore.
One is on the other side of the Bear Country, and the other is inside the Earth Country. If we are lucky, we can return to the Iwa Ninja Village to explore, which is already much better than fighting against the Sand Ninja."
What this captain said is true. After all, according to the information provided by the ninjas stationed in the Bear Country, Loess may only have these two options to choose from.
"Hey, what a bad luck."
The young Iwa nin sighed helplessly, and then he kicked a stone on the ground hard.
The stone quickly hit the side and hit a stone tablet in the ruins nearby.
Normally they wouldn't care about this kind of thing, but the captain couldn't help but frown.
He had performed missions in this area before, and he clearly remembered that there should be no stone monument at that location.
Thinking of this, he simply walked over. Anyway, they had no clue now, and there was no time limit for this task for the time being.
It wasn't a big deal to find something unusual and take a look, but when he walked over, he was stunned.
"This... this is..."
...
"Lord Tsuchikage, after analysis and comparison, it is indeed the remains of Lord Loess. Please express my condolences, Lord Tsuchikage."
In the office of the Tsuchikage Building, Onoki stood quietly by the window, his eyes staring out the window without saying a word.
The ANBU ninja behind him was half-kneeling on the ground. His head was lowered and his whole body was tight, because the feeling Ohnoki gave him at this time was extremely terrifying.
The depression emanating from the silence is suffocating. The short back is as firm and steady as a mountain, but it makes people grateful for the endless pressure.
Ohnoki was very angry inside at this time. He had never been so angry before, especially since the pressure on him was really heavy at this time.
Ever since Konoha successfully impeached the Third Hokage, such pressure has been spreading on him, and Deidara was a minor trigger.
This operation is to capture Didara and bring him back. It can be said that this is an operation with clear political meaning.
But what he never expected was that this operation not only failed but also lost so many personnel, which dealt a huge blow to his reputation.
Not only that, his son was also killed in this operation, which was an even greater blow to him!
This was no longer a purely political force, but a severe impact on his spirit.
"Who is he, and what should I do now..."
Onoki took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, but it was difficult for anyone to calm down in this situation.
However, Ohnoki is still a Kage after all, and he is the only third-generation Kage in the ninja world. His restraint and control have grown tremendously during his long reign.
He finally calmed down and now began to slowly think about all this.
"Deidara's current whereabouts are unknown, but we cannot rule out that he buried the earth. Who would do this if he were an enemy?
Then there are only two results, either he is with the enemy, which was mentioned in the previous report.
Either he got rid of the enemy but was unwilling to come back, he just witnessed Huang Tu's death, or he found Huang Tu's body, so he buried Huang Tu."
After calming down, Onoki's thinking was unusually sharp, and he also had an unusual understanding of Deidara. He immediately thought of several possibilities.
"And according to reports, there are many people attacking them, such as those who operate puppets, those who use poisonous snakes and special ninjutsu, and those who use thunder escape, water escape, etc.
These people may be Konoha rebels, Kumogakure rebels, Sunagakure rebels, even Kirigakure rebels and our Iwagakure rebels, but these are not the point.
The point is that the guy who uses the Chakra Titan, that ability and that power, is he Susanoo?"
Ohnoki thought of this, his eyes became extremely sharp, and he recalled the scene when he met Uchiha Madara when he was young.
How frustrating and despairing that was, he still hasn't gotten rid of the shadow of Uchiha Madara!
But he soon shook his head, Uchiha Madara was dead, and there was no point in worrying about a dead person now.
And at this time, he also had an idea, a bold idea that could get out of trouble, but it would also bring huge backlash.
"Konoha, Uchiha, only by diverting the conflict and dragging you into the water can the current situation be alleviated..."
.......
When Hahara brought Shisui to the conference room of the Hokage Building, it was already full of people.
This was the first time for Shisui to participate in such a high-level meeting, and he seemed a little restrained.
Especially when he saw the people in the conference room, he seemed a little nervous.
To put it bluntly, if something unexpected happens in this conference room, Konoha will be incapacitated, because all the top leaders of Konoha are gathered here!
The Fifth Hokage Jiraiya, the Minister of Medical Affairs, Tsunade, the Minister of Political Affairs, Nara Shikaku, and his clan leader, the Minister of Security, Habara, etc.
At the same time, there were also the heads of the major families sitting inside. This kind of scene was really not comparable to what Shisui had seen before when he met Sarutobi Hiruzen alone.
Fortunately, in addition to these big shots, Shisui found that there were many deputies similar to himself among them.
It's just that they were all standing outside, they didn't go in and sit down, so Shisui simply stood with them so that he wouldn't be nervous or embarrassed.
"It seems that you all think the same as me."
Han Yuan naturally also discovered this situation. After he sat down, he couldn't help but smile and said. His ridicule soon attracted some kind smiles.
Obviously everyone wanted to go together, so this is not an embarrassing thing, but a tacit understanding.
Neither Jiraiya nor Tsunade thought this was funny, and they really didn't know what was worth laughing about.
But the two of them didn't say anything because it was completely unnecessary.
After all, there are some things they don't understand clearly, and speaking casually will only make them appear unsociable.
"Okay everyone, if you are happy, you can talk about things later. Let's continue today's meeting."
Jiraiya saw that everyone had calmed down before he spoke, and then his eyes swept over everyone before he continued slowly.
"I think you all understand the situation of the three clans: Sarutobi, Mitomon, and Tenden, and you all know Asuma's decision.
This matter has a great impact, I want to know what your plans are?"
"Hokage-sama, putting down the rebellion is what should be done. Asuma acted on his own so that Konoha would not have to bear a bad reputation. This is a good thing.
I think this will not have any impact on Konoha, and Asuma, who is also able to kill relatives righteously, will not be punished by Konoha, right?
Of course, if it doesn't work out, just let him leave Konoha and bear the name of a traitor and leave Konoha. Isn't this just good for you and me and good for everyone?"
Although Hahara knew that Jiraiya had no ill intentions and acquiesced in the matter, Hahara still felt a little unhappy when he recalled what happened on the night of the genocide.
Therefore, he happily recounted what the Third Hokage wanted to do and what he might have done back then, and this directly choked Jiraiya.
Not only Jiraiya, but even Tsunade glanced at Habara calmly. After all, they had all read the report and knew the original plan to deal with Uchiha and Uchiha Itachi.
Hahara was basically using the same trick as before to fool them, but he couldn't really refute anything.
"Let's forget about the traitorous ninja. We don't have to be so decisive, and it's better for Asuma to stay than to leave."
Tsunade didn't wait for Jiraiya to say anything, and immediately gave the conclusion. Jiraiya obviously thought so too, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
"Of course, we will naturally follow Hokage-sama's wishes."
Nara Shikaku didn't want Habara to get into trouble with Hokage. Of course he knew why Hahara would say such things. After all, Uchiha had really suffered such grievances.
Moreover, he spoke to prevent Hinata from intervening. Although the current situation was not what he hoped for, Hahara could be considered as letting these families go.
If the entanglement continues, who knows what embarrassing situations will arise.
To be continued...
