Chapter 220: Tracking
The whole beginning of October is about to pass, and the international situation is incomparably calm on the surface, but secretly it is still extremely tense, and all countries seem to be tense in their own nerves, and at the slightest touch, they will go berserk.
In such an eerie balance, the fall of the black market is more like dropping a huge bomb on a calm lake, setting off a violent storm.
Although there are still large and small strongholds in the black market, which have not been devastated, the headquarters that concentrates the resources, information, and even the bounty platform tasks have been destroyed, which means that the entire black market has fallen into a state of leaderlessness. All information, resources, and even bounties are stuck in a sluggish state of stagnation, and it is impossible to communicate with each other.
Such a situation will undoubtedly cause chaos in the entire black market market, and even lead to the black market in a short period of time, it will no longer be able to effectively unite the forces of these bounty hunters, gather these stragglers, and become a powerful force for the alliance of the five powers.
"That's a ......"
When the high-ranking members of the Alliance Army got the first-hand information about the destruction of the black market, they stared directly at the silent and charred earth on the photo, and the originally towering mountains were like melted cream in the heat, and they ceased to exist, and they were suddenly speechless.
I was shocked by the scene of the destruction in the photo, even if it was just an aftermath, and I could see how much the headquarters of the black market was bombarded at the beginning of the destruction.
Not to mention humans and animals, even the earth disappeared directly, as if it had been directly erased from the world, and there was not even dregs left.
Ohnogi, who had just returned to the headquarters of the Alliance Army, happened to talk about a business with the black market again not long ago, but as soon as he left, the transaction partner directly evaporated, making his brain buzz for a while and silent.
"I thought that the country of ghosts would only operate against bounty hunters, but I didn't expect that now it will directly take a salary...... From the beginning, we misestimated what they were really aiming for. ”
Annihilating a few top teams of bounty hunters could not make the country of ghosts feel satisfied, on the contrary, all the previous actions were just warm-up exercises before the official competition, just completed by the way, their real goal was the entire black market.
If you want to paralyze the operation system of the black market platform, you can't provide too much help to the Alliance Army.
After Luo Sha finished speaking, he also frowned and fell silent, and anyone could see the solemnity hidden between his eyebrows.
The early progress of the alliance army is quite smooth, but in the alliance with the black market, there are twists and turns, until now, the black market has been almost tossed to the point of dying by the country of ghosts...... And that's just a week.
"We're teaming up with the bounty hunters, and the other side is playing cards to cut off communication between the alliance and the black market, which is also a natural result. After all, our opponents are thinking people, not motionless stones. Moreover, the black market is not covered by the 'protocol'. If we attack now, the Oni no Kuni will be very happy and attack us. ”
Tsunade saw it very clearly.
Therefore, the 'agreement' only guarantees the pre-war preparations of the alliance army, the country of ghosts and the three parties, and the corresponding military operations cannot be carried out before the official declaration of war.
However, the black market is not part of the agreement.
The fourth, who belonged to the three parties, did not enjoy the protection of the pre-war agreement, even if they had some ties with the coalition forces.
In this case, if the country of ghosts, or Xiao wants to attack, he must make a fuss about the black market.
Tsunade suspects that even if the Oni no Kuni doesn't take action, Akatsuna's side will most likely get in the way, and won't let the alliance army annex the power of the black market.
"Hokage, I don't need you to say this, we know it very well. It's a pity, but it's not the time to strike. ”
The fourth generation of Lei Ying crossed his arms and said calmly.
Among the five people present, the four shadows except for the water shadow are all here, and the fifth person, the Iron Country General, Mifune.
Everyone looked worried, and as opponents, they must have been touched when they saw such a scene.
The three boats were silent, watching the exchange of several shadows, and would only speak out at critical moments.
"However, in this case, will those guys in the country sit back and wait? You must know that the black market involves a lot of interests, and without this part of the income, it is difficult to think about not going to war now. ”
Luo Sha smiled bitterly.
In the share of shares in the black market, the proportion of the high-level leaders of the five major countries is not small, although it has nothing to do with their ninja village, but in the end, they are still established by the five major countries, and the interests of these high-level people are damaged, and even the ninja village may be affected.
After all, having lost such a big gain, everyone should be furious and want to start retaliating immediately.
Just before, there were no less than twenty orders, from the top of the five major powers, hoping that the alliance army would immediately attack and attack the country of ghosts.
Not to mention whether their behavior is in line with the strategic deployment of the alliance army, their irrational behavior alone cannot be called wise and powerful, and it is obvious that after being greatly stimulated, reason began to evaporate.
In the final analysis, it is impossible to guarantee composure for anyone to do this kind of thing.
"Let them endure it first, starting a war with the country of ghosts at this time is the real stupidity. The civilians in the war zone have not all been removed, and if the war starts now, how many people will we have to die? The situation was already out of control, and at least it was necessary to ensure that there was the strength to resume production after the war. ”
And all of this depends on a huge population base.
Without these, even if the coalition forces win the battle, their dominance will be in jeopardy due to heavy casualties.
In this kind of thing, the four generations of Thunder Shadow will not compromise with these high-level leaders.
"Kazekage, I'll ask you to deal with this matter first, anyway, there's not much time left, just hold on for a few days."
Tsunade is on the side of the four generations of Thunder Shadow.
The five shadows of the alliance army, each of the five people perform their duties, and the one responsible for liaising with the high-level group led by the daimyo of the five major countries is Luo Sha, the wind shadow.
"Do your best, fortunately, the daimyo are quite calm after learning about this, and there is no chaos, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with."
Luo Sha nodded helplessly.
If the daimyos, on their side, also ask the coalition side to attack quickly, that would be the real bad.
"Isn't Mizukage's side ready yet, though?"
At this time, Raksha mentioned Terumi Ming.
"The transfer over there is a bit difficult, after all, the fog is hidden in a corner, and it is far away, and if you want to transfer the troops here, you must first cross the huge sea area. In addition to the fighters, there are also supplies to be transported or something, there are not enough ships, but there is no way to transfer them. Even with the help of a few of us, we won't be able to deal with it for a while. ”
Tsunade said.
Now on the side of the Alliance Army, most of the personnel have been gathered, but only the personnel transfer on the side of Wuyin Village is a little difficult.
After all, there were more than 20,000 ninjas who were deployed this time, and now only 10,000 people have been gathered, and the remaining more than 10,000 people, plus various war materials, need not a lot of ships.
At least on the voyage, you can't get up fast.
"In that case, let's go and pick up Lord Mizukage when I get down, and estimate the time, Lord Mizukage should almost set off from the fog."
Mifune spoke up at this time, and Mao recommended himself.
Since it was transported by sea, when you arrived at the Alliance Army, you would definitely have to enter the port north of the Iron Country, which was closest to the headquarters of the Alliance Army.
Moreover, due to the needs of the war, the three major ports in the north of the Iron Country were heavily guarded, and all irrelevant personnel were transferred away, forming a branch stronghold of the Alliance Army to guard against the enemy's sea power.
In addition, the uninhabited islands in the northern waters of the Iron Country have also been requisitioned to build branches, and now there are tens of thousands of alliance ninjas scattered out.
With such a force stationed, no matter how ferocious the attack is, it can be sustained for a long time.
Not to mention, Yun Yin is still there in the sea area, with a number of warships arranged, as well as two chakra cannons that can strike local forces at an ultra-long range.
The four generations of Lei Ying and the others heard Mifune's words and had no objections.
"We can't just focus on the Oni Country, their actions are direct, but they are still under our surveillance. Akatsuki hasn't been monitored yet, and he doesn't know what they're doing, which needs to be noted. ”
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow said this.
The threat of the Oni Country is blatant and makes people feel the tremendous pressure to confront him directly.
But Xiao is different, they are good at hiding, and as the trigger for the Fifth Ninja World War, the power of this organization should not be underestimated.
If you underestimate them, you will suffer a big loss.

Wuyin Village, port.
Hundreds of ships were summoned on the sea, and several of them belonged to warships, with flags waving on them, and there were crowds of people, and more than 10,000 fog ninjas who went out to fight were ready to go, and they were only waiting for an order from Mizukage, and they were going to rush to the front line of the battlefield, and they would give all their strength and even their precious lives for victory.
Although many people are nervous, most of the ninjas are quite calm.
Especially those experienced 'old people', although they reject war, they also know that this is a war that has to be fought, so their attitude is very calm, and many people's nervous hearts are calmed.
On the platform of the port, Terumi looked at the Fog Hidden Ninja who was standing firmly on the ship, and her originally quite urgent heart couldn't help but calm down.
The elite of Wuyin Village concentrated here gave her a lot of confidence.
"Let's go up too, it's time to go."
Terumi said the cronies and shinobi beside Terumi.
In addition to Qing, they are several members of the Ninja Seven, and as the most elite force in the Fog Hidden Village, they will lead the Fog Hidden Ninja in the battle together with the Mizukage.
That's when —
"Hades."
The old man's voice stopped Terumi.
She turned around in shock.
The three generations of Mizukage, who are over seventy years old, and the old master of the Fog Hidden Father, who is over ninety years old, came together, followed by several guards of the dark department.
"Three generations, Elder Yuanshi? Why are you two here? ”
Terumi gestured to the rest of the group to pause for a moment and stepped forward to greet the two.
She was very surprised by the arrival of these two retirees.
"The old man will also participate in this war."
The three generations of Mizukage spoke amazingly, which made Terumi even more surprised.
"Three generations, this ......"
To be honest, Terumi doesn't want the three generations of Mizukage to go to the battlefield, it's not that she's afraid that the other party will seize power, but the age of the other party, it's really ......
So, she looked at Yuan Shi, hoping that the other party could stop it.
"Don't look at it, the old man has already discussed it with Master Yuan, otherwise he wouldn't have come to you."
The eyes of the three generations of Mizukage lost their cloudiness and became shining, not like an old man who was dying.
"Three generations." Terumi sighed helplessly and said, "This war is not trivial, even I dare not guarantee that I will survive to the end." ”
In other words, the three generations of Mizukage, who are no longer in their heyday, still retain some of their past strength, which makes Terumi very worried about the situation after the other party enters the battlefield.
There are no eyes for swords and guns, and the Five Shadows must be ready to sacrifice at any time.
"Is it because you dislike the old man's strength? Then, while there is still time, you can verify whether the old man's strength has regressed. ”
Three generations of Mizukage replied so strongly.
"Don't dare."
Terumi didn't want to say no outright.
"Ming, you also said that this war is not trivial, otherwise the old man would not have asked for it here. Besides, even the old man Onoki can go to war at this age, how can the old man, as a ninja of his generation, be willing to die in a hospital bed? As far as the old man knows, Konoha's autumn road is taking the wind, as well as those old friends of Yunyin and Shayin, also went to the battlefield. ”
Hearing the three generations of Mizukage say this, Terumi was slightly silent.
Indeed, this time the alliance of the five great powers can be said to be in order to win, and they have tried all means.
Even those old people who once came from the Warring States period are almost a non-stop initiative to ask for help.
As a remnant of the times, their brilliance and grandeur have long been stuck in the past.
But the only thing they don't want is that one day they will die of old age in a hospital bed, lingering on their last breath, relying on medicine, and being tortured to death in pain.
Spilling blood on the battlefield this time is their true destination.
"I see, then, welcome to join, three generations."
Terumi saw the resolute attitude of the three generations of Mizukage, so she exhaled lightly, stretched out her hand, and shook the three generations tightly, indicating that she agreed to the other party's request to enlist.
"Don't worry, the old man, as one of the top five shadows, is not so easy to die."
The third generation of Mizukage also saw Terumi's concern and responded in a confident tone.

"How many times has this been? Is it still a tie? ”
In front of the True Waterfall, looking at Naruto who was standing on the cobblestone in the middle of the waterhole, motionless and closing his eyes, Samui, who had just eaten lunch, came over and asked.
Since it was guarded by Tenzo, she didn't have to keep an eye on Naruto's training all the time.
"The third time, it ended in a draw. After all, they have exactly the same ability and strength, the tactics are the same, and even the growth rate is the same, so it's a tie no matter how you fight. ”
Tenzo spread his hands helplessly and answered Samui's question.
"Sure enough, I still haven't found the key."
Samui nodded, the expected answer.
"The headquarters is almost ready, and the migration work is nearing completion. It's only a few days before the official start of the war, and there is not much time left for us. ”
A sense of urgency rose in Tenzo's heart.
"The situation is controlled by the Five Shadows over there, and we don't need to worry about it yet. Even if the enemy is strong, the power of the coalition army is no less weak. ”
Samui is open-minded and doesn't have too many pessimistic thoughts.
And her optimism is also based on Yunyin's strong military power.
As a result, there is also a strong sense of trust in the strength of the coalition forces.
"Maybe."
Tenzo muttered.
"Let's focus on Naruto, his power is indispensable to the Alliance. You've been here for so long, do you see anything? ”
Samui asked, turning his head.
He knew that Tenzo was not only monitoring Naruto here, but also observing Naruto's training and giving guidance.
"Well, no, I don't see anything at all. If it's the rest of the situation, I can still give some advice, but the training of human pillar force is my blind spot. After all, in this regard, Yun Yin and Wu Yin, who gave birth to the perfect human pillar power, gave more pertinent opinions. ”
Tianzang sighed helplessly.
Just as Samui was about to say something, a strange tone of rap suddenly sounded:
"Three stupid people, after so long and still nothing, Lord Ben Yao finally can't stand it~~"
"Lord Kirabi?"
Samui turned to look at Kirabi, who suddenly appeared and jumped from above.
"Indeed, the three of us can't think of any effective way, I wonder if Lord Yao-sama can give a little guidance? I'm a big fan of yours, after all. ”
Tenzo knew that he couldn't disobey Kirabi too much, and if he could, it wasn't impossible to say something soft.
"Oh?"
Hearing that Tenzo was his fan, Kirabi carefully looked at Tenzo's whole body, and saw that Tenzo's face was a little unnatural.
After all, it was really difficult for him to say such things against his will.
Because he, like Naruto, feels that Kirabi's self-created rap is really a bit difficult to talk about.
"Ho ho~~ Even the people in the outer villages are fascinated by the charm of Uncle Ben?"
Kirabi seemed to believe it.
"No, you know it's a lie when you hear it."
Samui did not hesitate to dismantle the stage.
But both Kirabi and Tenzo chose to ignore it.
"Since you're a fan of mine, then, Lord Ben Yao-sama will give this kid a little hint."
Kirabi's words made Tenzo's face look surprised.
With Kirabi's help, things should go a lot better.
"However, since I'm a fan, I'm going to come to my solo concert later."
Chirabi made another request.
Then he looked at Samui again and asked, "Samui, will you come and hear it later?" ”
"Please spare my life, Lord Kirabi."
Samui chose to retreat without hesitation, and kept a safe distance from Kirabi, as if looking at some kind of flood beast.
Kirabi's concert lethality, she knows, is the same as his name for the perfect human pillar force, with the same level of destructive power.

"I thought that Kameshima would move towards the waters of Iron Country, but did it turn out to be in the direction of Water Country? What a waste of our time. ”
On an uninhabited desert island between the Land of Thunder and the Land of Water, the White Jediers, who were in charge of exploring the location of Turtle Island, converged with the oni shark who commanded them, and then reported.
The ghost shark was also holding a map at this time, scanning the general direction of the transfer of Turtle Island.
There is no trace of Turtle Island in the waters of the Land of Thunder, which is known to the White Absolute for so many days of exploration, plus the sharks he sent out.
Therefore, all that remains is to lock the direction of the movement of Turtle Island, so as to specify the exact point of Turtle Island.
According to normal logic, Turtle Island should be moved to the waters of the Iron Country, as it is the closest sea area to the headquarters of the Alliance Army, and it is heavily guarded by the Alliance Army.
Even if there is an accident on Turtle Island, it has the ability to rescue in time.
As a result, the Allied forces are now doing the opposite, not only not moving Turtle Island to the waters of the Iron Country, which is the closest to the headquarters of the Allied Forces, but moving towards the northern waters of the Water Country.
You must know that the northern waters of the Water Country are not close to the headquarters of the Alliance Army.
In the event of an emergency, it means that the coalition forces will not be able to support quickly.
"That's where they are shrewd. However, the farther away from the headquarters of the Alliance Army, it does not mean that Turtle Island is easy to take, compared to the fact that the Alliance Army has arranged a net on it, and it may be very difficult for ordinary troops to attack. What's more, those two pillar forces are not simple existences, no matter which one of them, they can completely wipe out the search force on our side. ”
Not to mention, on Turtle Island, there are still a large number of elites of the Alliance Army.
In addition to the two human pillar forces, there must be ninjas with tricky strength, otherwise it would be impossible for the alliance army to transfer the human pillar forces to such a distant place with confidence.
The ghost shark guessed so.
Bai Jue nodded, the ghost shark's guess was not unreasonable.
The nine-tailed and eight-tailed human pillar forces, among the many human pillar forces, also belong to special existences.
The last time they fought with the Eight-Tails, the ghost shark was on the verge of death, and the manpower combat power on their side was obviously seriously insufficient.
Fortunately, they are just searching for troops, and they don't need to fight the alliance forces on Turtle Island, they just need to lock the position, and the rest of the matter will be handled by the leader Nagato.
"I know very well the waters of the Water Country, and this is our advantage now. There aren't many places to hide in this area, and I just happen to know them all. ”
The oni shark pointed to the northern waters of the water country on the map, marking the sea route where Turtle Island might move.
"If my expectations are correct, these three routes are the most likely to be taken on Turtle Island. The rest of the routes are not suitable for large ships to move, let alone something as large as Turtle Island. ”
"I see, it's worthy of the ghost sharks, and now, I can finally find them. But how do you allocate manpower? ”
The approximate orientation has been detected, but the exact location needs to be locked.
"Bai Jue, you are in charge of these two routes." The ghost shark pointed to two of them, and then to the last one: "I'll take care of this route." Before they get far, let's get into action before they leave the sea. ”
The disadvantage of Turtle Island is that it is too large, but the advantage is that they are ready to move.
This means that you can move to safety anytime and anywhere.
Therefore, the final place of Turtle Island is by no means the northern sea area of the Water Country, and this sea area may also be a part of the route, not the final location.
"Okay."
Bai had no opinion, and dived with the rest of the individuals, swimming towards the two routes pointed out by the ghost shark.
