Chapter Forty-Eight: Four Generations of Thunder Shadows
The northern seas of the land country.
Yunyin's offensive was extremely ferocious, and at the beginning of the war, he had already captured several islands in the northern waters of the land country in one fell swoop, and used several islands as temporary stations to constantly harass and attack the borders of the land country.
The battle with Yunyin has been going on for several months, and under the leadership of the three generations of Tsuchikage Onoki, Iwakure's side is only on the defensive to resist Yuyin's attack.
After all, fighting Yunyin in the sea area is very disadvantageous to Yanyin.
Because of the unique style of Iwain Village, the ninjas in the village mainly practiced Tu Dun Ninjutsu. With the advantage of the terrain of the earth, there have been many examples of winning more with less in previous ninja wars. However, once the advantage of gaining a foothold on the earth is lost, the advantage of the earth escape will plummet, and the strength of the Iwakushi ninja will also decline very seriously.
Coupled with Lei Dun's ability to restrain Earth Escape, going head-to-head with the Cloud Hidden Ninja will undoubtedly put Iwain in a dilemma.
Out of this consideration, the three generations of Tsuchikage Onoki did not advocate taking the initiative to attack Yunyin, but instructed Iwakushi and Nakashinobi, who were proficient in Tu Dun, to build a fortress on the northern coastline with Tu Dun Ninjutsu, and mainly to repel the Yun Yin ninja with a wide range of Earth Escape attacks.
In this case, Iwain could not immediately end the battle on this side, and similarly, Yunyin's main force could not invade the territory of the Earth Country.
In the camp of Iwaku.
The third generation of Tsuchikage Onoki sat in the largest tent, and in front of him lay a letter sent by Yunyin.
Onoki picked up the letter, groaned for a moment, and said to the people sitting at the conference table, "Yunyin's side wants to negotiate and negotiate, hoping that our side can return the corpse of the three generations of Thunder Shadow and the six ninja tools, and they will immediately end the entanglement with Iwakure." ”
"However, let's not mention that our side has not completely unraveled the secrets of the body of the three generations of Thunder Shadow, and when we first got the corpse of the three generations of Thunder Shadow, we did not find any so-called six forbearance tools."
One of Iwakure Shinobu spoke.
His words aroused the agreement of the rest of the people, and another Shangnin also said: "Indeed. We besieged the three generations of Thunder Shadow that day, but we only got his corpse, and we didn't see any six-way forbearance. And just besieging the three generations of Thunder Shadow, our side has also paid an extremely heavy price, how can we reveal it with a fluttering sentence? ”
"That's right, it's not so easy to get an empty glove white wolf. Others are afraid of them, but we are not afraid of stirring up trouble. If you want to get back the corpse of the three generations of Thunder Shadow, you must make compensation and apologize according to our rules. After all, the cause of this incident was, in the final analysis, that they provoked it first. ”
If you just give the concession of being willing to stop the war, and you want to get back the corpse of the three generations of Thunder Shadow, then in the eyes of outsiders, this concession will undoubtedly add the label of 'cowardly and afraid' to Iwakuin's face.
Not only that, but the large amount of resources and ninjas that Iwain lost in this war also need a reasonable explanation from Yunyin's side.
If they can't give a satisfactory answer, they will never return the corpses of the three generations of Thunder Shadow.
The loss of Iwakuin was recovered from the corpses of the three major thunder shadows.
After all, it is the corpse of one of the five shadows, Thunder Shadow, and many secrets can be deciphered from it, especially when the three generations of Thunder Shadow died, the integrity of the corpse was still retained, and this corpse was even more precious.
"Although it is my intention to stop the war with Yunyin. But covering up his mistakes in such a light way is inevitably too indifferent to our rock hide. ”
Onoki snorted softly.
Although it is a good thing to stop the war with Yun Yin now, Yun Yin did not mention the matter of compensation in the letter, but avoided the important and covered up his despicable invasion, which made Onoki feel a fire in his heart.
Yunyin's military strength has always been among the best among the five major countries, second only to the strongest Konoha Ninja Village. But if you want to force Iwakuin to make concessions that will lose his own interests, it is far from qualified.
"But in this way, we won't be able to participate in the battlefield on the other side of the Rain Country. I'm afraid that the sand will be hidden there and it will be difficult to support it alone. ”
A Iwakushi said.
Now that Iwakure and Sand Cain have formed an alliance, if Sand Cakure can attack the Fire Country in March this year, then the situation on the battlefield of the Grass Country will also be greatly reversed.
Konoha's Jiraiya forces must retreat back to the Land of Fire. If you don't retreat, you'll be caught in the double flanking attack of Iwakure and Sandshade, resulting in the annihilation of the Konoha forces of the Grass Country.
Retreating back to the Land of Fire would be equivalent to opening the door to the Land of Fire to Sand and Iwakure, allowing Sand Cain and them to achieve the biggest strategic goal of waging this war.
However, now that Yunyin is eyeing the northern seas of the Land of Earth, Iwakure must divide the main force in the village into two, one part to fight the Konoha ninjas, and the other to contain the Yunyin forces. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to achieve the strategic goal of attacking the Fire Country, but even your own land will be trampled and ravaged by foreign ninjas, and the situation will be seriously unfavorable to Iwakure.
"But there is no way, we are now being held back by Yun Yin. And that Hanzo seems to be planning to lead Yugakure and start a war against Shagakure. The situation on the battlefield is really changing. ”
"The rest of the Rain Hidden people don't have to worry, Hanzo is the real threat to the change of the situation in the Rain Country. What exactly is Chiyo doing in the sand hire? Didn't you say that everything was already arranged? At this time, Hanzo was involved, and the original plan was now completely unable to be implemented smoothly! ”
An older Iwakure Shinobu clenched his fists, his tone full of dissatisfaction with Chiyo, the high-level advisor to the sand hide.
"According to the message from the Sand Hide, it seems that Konoha has carefully designed a conspiracy to use Hanzo's power to muddy the situation in the Land of Rain."
"Hanzo is not a brainless person, he is not the kind of person who is easily fooled. He is now at war against Shagakure, and Chiyo must have touched his bottom limit, otherwise he would not have made such an unwise move. ”
Looking at the helplessness and anger on the faces of many shinobi, Onoki also knew the grievances and annoyance in their hearts.
The sudden intervention of Yunyin and Yuyin completely disrupted their joint layout of Iwain and Shayin, resulting in the complete failure of the plan to invade the Fire Nation this year, and it is inevitable that they will complain in their hearts about Shayin's excessive behavior.
Onoki coughed and said to the people who were doing it, "It's come to this point, and our side has to ......."
Before Onoki finished speaking, the curtain of the tent was suddenly blown up by the wind, and a figure silently avoided the guards outside, appearing in the field of vision of Onoki and the other Iwakushi ninjas.
"You see, Tsuchikage's distressed look, how about it, do you want me to help?"
The figure stood still, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and smiled at Ohnogi, who was sitting firmly in his chair.
"You ......"
Here, many Iwakushi Shinobi recognized the identity of the person who came at once.
The other party is a young woman, with long black smooth hair and pure white pupils that are quite recognizable.
This kind of eye is the blood limit called 'White Eye', which is unique to the Hyuga clan of Konoha Ninja Village.
And now that Konoha is at war with their Iwakure, this woman naturally can't be a Konoha ninja.
Although he has the surname Hinata, he has long since deviated from his clan and village, and is now an extremely dangerous S-class defector ninja in the ninja world - Hinata Ayane.
"Hmph, come in without saying hello, young people nowadays really don't know what politeness is."
Onoki sat in his chair, very dissatisfied with Ayane's uninvited approach, but he only gave a verbal lesson and expressed his opinion a little.
After all, the cooperation of the previous year, because of Ayane's intervention, made the Konoha ninja of the country of grass suffer, and even the root led by the darkness of the ninja seemed to have broken a lot of manpower.
For such a powerful bounty hunter, Onoki doesn't mind what her past identity is, as long as it's not their Iwakure's traitorous ninja, they can cooperate.
Ayane didn't care about Onoki's preachy tone, just smiled and looked at Ohnoki.
"If Your Excellency Tsuchikage is dissatisfied, then I'll say I'm sorry first."
"Is it just you, a little girl? I remember that the other two members of the White Fang team also defected to Konoha. Of course, that medical ninja doesn't matter, and it would be great if both Sharingan and Hakure could temporarily act as Iwakure's power. ”
Onoki did not hide his philistine face in the slightest, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"Tsuchikage-sama is really greedy. Indeed, it is a fact that she is stronger than me. But she wasn't interested in being a bounty hunter, and if she wanted to hire her to help Iwakure, she would have to say sorry to Tsuchikage again. I remember that this matter should have been explained to the Loess Shinobi before, and it is better not to have such expectations. ”
Ayane tilted her head to think for a moment and said to Onoki.
"That's a pity, I really want to see what the power of the Sharingan and the White Eye combined looks like."
Onoki is really sorry about this thing.
Writing Wheel Eye is the same blood inheritance limit as White Eye, and it has priority over White Eye in terms of offensive ability.
To a certain extent, these two bloodline limits can complement each other.
If you can pull the writing wheel eye and the white eye to the rock hidden front at the same time, it will play a greater role in the rock hide.
Although it's a pity that you can't win over the Sharingan Ninja, if you have white eyes, you can also achieve good results for Iwakure. As a result, Onoki quickly cleaned up and began working with Ayane on a hired basis.
Ayane is also familiar with working with Iwakure, and is no stranger. After all, it's not the first time we've worked together, and the employment contract hasn't changed from before, but the work she has completed has become more difficult. Of course, as the difficulty of the work increases, the deposit and remuneration provided to her by Iwakuin will also increase.

"Damn the Tsuchikage! Such a shameless use of treachery to provoke! ”
At the conference table in the Cloud Hidden Camp, a dark-skinned man angrily punched a big hole in the conference table with his fist.
On the muscles wrapped in dark skin, a dense electric light began to flash, and the hair stood up and spread slightly outward.
Witnessing this scene, Yunyin Shangshinobu was shocked that he had such a powerful chakra.
"Lord Thunder Shadow, please calm down."
In the conference room built of rock, Yunyin Shangshinobi, who was about thirty years old, wore a one-eyed patch, and spoke calmly to persuade the angry Yunyin ninja.
is also the agent of Yunyin Village today.
Long before the third generation of Thunder Shadow went to the Land of Earth, the candidate for the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow had been determined through a high-level meeting.
Therefore, Yun Yin did not engage in brutal infighting for the position of the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow because of the sacrifice of the third generation of Thunder Shadow.
This young man, who looked no more than thirty years old, was none other than their fourth-generation Thunder Shadow. He is also the son of the three generations of Thunder Shadow who has been sacrificed, and his attainments in the Thunder Dun Ninjutsu are no worse than when his father's three generations of Thunder Shadow were young.
"How can I calm down? It is unforgivable that Tsuchikage, one of the Five Shadows, would use the defector ninja so shamelessly! And what's going on on Konoha side, why don't you send a chasing force to eliminate the defecting ninjas as soon as possible? Konoha must also be held accountable for this matter! ”
The anger of the four generations of Thunder Shadow has not subsided.
In the past few days, there has been frequent news of attacks on the Yunyin patrol force, and the person who attacked it was none other than Hinata, the S-class traitor who had already confirmed that he had defected to Konoha.
Because it was too coincidental to target the Cloud Hidden Ninja, and the other party had also assisted Iwakuin in the Grass Country battlefield before, the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow could immediately confirm that Hinata Ayane was once again hired by Iwakure's Tsuchikage Onoki to target Cloud Hide.
"Although this approach of the Tsuchikage is indeed tantamount to smearing the face of the 'Five Shadows', now is not the time to hold accountable."
"Of course I know that. Tutai, mobilize the troops immediately, I will personally eliminate that woman, and by the way, I can also get a pair of white eyes. ”
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow commanded to Yun Yin Shangshinobi, who was wearing a one-eyed patch.
In the midst of his anger, he also maintained a certain calm. He also understood that this was not the time to be held accountable, but from another point of view, the appearance of white eyes on their cloudy battlefield was not entirely a bad thing.
If you can get these eyes in your hands, the previous losses will be completely negligible, and it will make Yun Yin gain a lot.
"It's too reckless to do this, Lord Thunder Shadow, the enemy's abilities are still unknown."
Tutai frowned.
Although compared to the average Shangnin, the four generations of Thunder Shadow, who have just become the Thunder Shadow, can indeed be called powerful. But compared to the three generations of Thunder Shadow who have died, the strength is still a little immature.
According to some information that Yun Yin learned, Hinata Ayane was in the country of grass, and the Konoha ninjas there suffered a lot by herself, and she was almost forced to withdraw to the territory of the country of fire.
It is said that he was later surrounded and suppressed by the roots led by the ninja Dark Shimura Tunzang, and survived unharmed, and also caused heavy losses to the roots of Konoha and Shimura Tunzang.
Even if you don't know the specific details of the battle, judging from the final result, the opponent's strength is likely to be stronger than the four generations of Thunder Shadow, who have just become Thunder Shadow.
"I have my own opinion on this matter. Although my Thunder Chakra mode is still a bit far from Dad's, I have an advantage over Dad's in terms of speed. My dad said that in the ninja world, no one can keep up with my speed. ”
In the tone of the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow, he was full of confidence in his speed.
His father, the third generation of Thunder Shadow, gave up some of his advantages in speed and concentrated his strength on defense and attack, thus achieving the prestige of the strongest shield and the strongest spear.
And he is different, in the past, he understood that no matter how much he tempered his body, his physical fitness could not be compared with his father's three generations of Lei Ying. Therefore, at that time, he decided to give up a certain amount of defense and attack ability, and focus on the speed that he is best at.
Tutai sighed helplessly, seeing that the four generations of Thunder Shadow had made up his mind, he knew that no matter how much he was dissuaded, it would be useless.
Not only the four generations of Thunder Shadow, but also the three generations of Thunder Shadow who have died. Once a hot-headed decision is made, it is difficult to explain it to them with reason.
But also because of this resolute attitude, the spirit of taking the lead in every battle can boost the morale of the Cloud Hidden Ninja to the greatest extent and defeat the enemy from the front.
"I see, Lord Thundershadow. Since you have decided so, let me follow with you. The opponent is a ninja from the Hyuga clan, and her soft fist can ignore your Thunder Escape armor and hit the heart. ”
The earthen table has a serious complexion.
agreed to the willful request of the four generations of Thunder Shadow, but also in exchange for joining the war together.
"Whatever you want. Move fast, I can't wait to get those white eyes. ”
Tsuchidai nodded, and began to go down to select the elite ninjas of Yunyin to assist the four generations of Thunder Shadow in completing the hunting White Eye mission.
However, in his heart, Tutai did not believe that the mission would be a great success.
Lord Thunder Shadow is still too impatient to do things, so he should let the rest of the team go over and test the other party's ability first. Tutai sighed in his heart.

"Is this next?"
In the forest of a huge island, Ayane avoided the eyes and ears of the ninjas patrolling the clouds around her, and set off on her way to her destination.
After several attacks, she had already investigated the patrol pattern of the Cloud Hidden Squad, and with the help of the White Eye, it was not difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of the Cloud Hidden Ninja.
Ayane follows the route map provided by Iwakure and begins to go deeper into the heart of the island.
The white eye is open, and everything within a 10-kilometer radius is in full view.
There are about a thousand Cloud Hidden Ninjas gathered on this island.
Half of the ninjas were gathered in a camp, presumably protecting something important.
Ayane knew very well that it was the Yunyin supply point marked on the road map.
In order to get the information of this supply point, Iwakure sacrificed a total of more than a dozen Earth Escape ninjas who were proficient in infiltration before and after, and finally locked the location of this supply point.
In the end, ninjas are only fighting economic warfare.
If the battle is not based on annihilation, destroying the enemy's supply points at the minimum cost is undoubtedly a common tactic for winning the war.
During the Second Shinobi War, in the battle against Sunagakure, Konoha also adopted this tactic.
"Huh?"
In the process of moving forward, Ayane suddenly sensed a very unusual chakra among the thousands of cloud hidden ninjas.
The incomparably large amount of chakra overshadowed all the Cloud Hidden Ninjas at once, and became the main target of White Eye.
"Tailed beasts? No, it should be a little worse. ”
Ayane had seen the power of the Tailed Beast's rampage.
This Cloud Hidden Ninja's Chakra, although it can't be compared to the Tailed Beast, is definitely not far behind.
Ayane was a little surprised that the amount of chakra of this Cloud Hidden Ninja was so huge, as were the three generations of Thunder Shadow who had sneaked up on him before.
The chakra is so large that one can mistake it for a tailed beast.
Fought thousands of Iwakushi ninjas for twenty-six hours, keeping the Thunder Chakra mode fully open, and finally died of exhaustion.
It can be called a walking humanoid tailed beast.
I didn't expect to meet a ninja with the same chakra here.
"Did you find me?"
The corners of Ayane's mouth lifted slightly, revealing an indifferent smile.
With his white eyes, he could intuitively see that this cloud hidden ninja with a huge chakra was rushing towards him at a very exaggerated speed.
This was also expected by Ayane, after all, she had penetrated deep into this kind of place, and she would definitely have the ability to have powerful sensing ninjas around her to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on important supply points.
The sound of the wind whistling in his ears continued to increase the speed of his feet, and the soles of his feet stepped on the branches of the trees, Ayane took a deep breath, and the chakra began to work at high speed in his body.
"Empty palm!"
The shells formed by the air came directly at the front door of the person.
The other party's body flashed with fierce electric light for a moment, and the surface of the body was also covered with an incomparably thick blue chakra feather coat, which disappeared from front of her eyes in Ayane's wide eyes.
The air cannonball hit a distant tree, breaking off and hitting the ground causing dust to fly.
Ayane hurriedly lowered his head, and the cloud hidden ninja whose whole body flashed with electric light, the hand knife slashed through the hair of Ayane's lowered head, cut off a few hairs, and fell to the ground.
Ayane's body jumped to the side, and she took a soft fist stance, her gaze slightly condensed.
This Cloud Hidden Ninja has condensed muscles all over his body, his body is tall, his skin is the usual dark color of the Land of Thunder, he looks a few years older than himself, and the chakra feather coat is attached to the incomparably terrifying blue thunder and lightning, densely flickering and flickering.
"Who do I think it is, isn't this Yun Yin's newly appointed fourth-generation Thunder Shadow? No wonder there is such an exaggerated speed, I almost didn't react just now. ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Ayane's mouth, and she recognized the other party's identity at a glance.
Although he is the newly appointed Thunder Shadow, he is also a ninja named 'Five Shadows', and the moment he succeeds the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow, his personal information has already spread in the ninja world.
In the intelligence department of the Ghost Country, there is also a lot of information about this fourth-generation Thunder Shadow.
Like his father's three generations of Thunder Shadow,A thunder ninja who is very good at thunder ninjutsu.。
Based on the momentary fight just now, Ayane judged that the speed of the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow was probably higher than that of his father's third generation of Thunder Shadow.
"Being able to dodge my attacks at the first time, it seems that you don't just rely on white eyes to fight."
Seeing with the eyes and being able to react quickly at the moment when seeing him attack are two different things.
The fourth generation of Lei Ying has a cautious complexion, a nervous reaction speed comparable to his own, and an all-round observation ability with white eyes, this woman is very troublesome.
