Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Collapse of Adults.
Ninja World.
The flames of war continued.
But what surprised the major ninja villages was that after Konohagakure gave up resistance and retreated across the board, the war became somewhat strange.
Even the Raikage of Kumogakure Village was extremely surprised by Konohagakure's choice.
It was obvious that Danzo's suggestion had been adopted. Konohagakure began to retreat, aiming to stretch Kumogakure Village's supply line again, forcing Raikage to retreat without a fight.
But after the initial confusion, Raikage finally concluded that the commander on Konohagakure's side was very clever.
The supply line was long, but it didn't necessarily have to be supplied from the Land of Thunder.
Combining the battle reports from these days, and not seeing any sign of the Hyuga clan on the entire battlefield, Raikage decisively issued new orders.
A new elite team was formed, with the purpose of mass requisitioning food and supplies within the Land of Fire.
In other words, using elite troops to plunder and reduce the pressure on the main army.
If this had been done before they had penetrated deep into the Land of Fire, it might have been difficult.
But now that Konohagakure's ninjas could no longer protect those towns, and the supplies were abandoned by Konohagakure, Raikage saw no reason to be polite!
With no Hyuga clan in sight, there was no fear of the elite troops being watched and ambushed. This was simply a godsend opportunity!
Kumogakure Village seized the opportunity, and the flames of war spread directly into the heart of the Land of Fire. Countless civilians were displaced, and the impact was so great that the Daimyo of the Land of Fire cursed Sarutobi by name.
Fortunately, Kumogakure Village was still somewhat disciplined. Ai, who dreamed of annexing the Land of Fire into the Land of Thunder, didn't commit too many atrocities besides taking supplies. But this indirectly led to a sharp increase in the number of surviving refugees from the Land of Fire.
Obviously, the pressure was still on the old village chief.
Besides sending Anbu to chase and intercept Kumogakure Village's elite teams, the old village chief could only pray that Danzo would do his part and get Iwagakure Village to send reinforcements soon.
But the old village chief and his old partner Danzo didn't know.
When Danzo left Iwagakure Village with a smile, Oonoki also laughed.
"No wonder Sarutobi played his good cards so poorly. How stupid does he think I am?"
Yes.
Oonoki was very clever. Except for the time he was scared by Madara, he had never submitted to anyone. Moreover, he always personally went to the battlefield in major wars, and his vision was not something Sarutobi and Danzo could compare to.
"I've been waiting for this opportunity, just waiting for Konohagakure to come!"
With ambition in his eyes, the Third Tsuchikage waved his hand.
"Konohagakure can't hold on any longer! Someone, tell that Raikage kid that I agree to his previous cooperation request!"
"But we need to renegotiate how to divide the Land of Fire!"
Raikage has always been someone who can pick up and let go.
During the Third Ninja World War, he learned that his father was killed by Iwagakure Village, but instead of seeking revenge, he led Killer Bee to raid Konohagakure and fought a fierce battle with Minato, showing that he had long forgotten that trivial grudge.
So naturally, he informed Iwagakure Village before starting the war.
It can be said that both Raikage and Tsuchikage were looking forward to Konohagakure seeking external help!
Once they sought help, it meant that Konohagakure couldn't withstand the pressure and was on the verge of collapse.
The choices before Oonoki were also simpler and clearer.
One was the resource-rich Land of Fire, which was about to collapse, and the other was the Land of Thunder, which was inviting him to join the attack with its strong military force. Which one to choose was obvious, wasn't it?
Not to mention, Danzo had just shown his sincerity by making it clear that even if Iwagakure Village's ninjas penetrated deep into the Land of Fire, it didn't matter.
Wasn't this a heaven-sent opportunity?
As for the blood feud with Kumogakure Village?
That could be dealt with after taking down the Land of Fire!
After all, they also had to consider what to do if the Land of Wind and the Land of Water wanted to intervene when dividing the Land of Fire.
No one knew that Raikage and Tsuchikage were already looking for their next opponent even before the war started.
Ninja World.
In a hidden cave in the Land of Rice Fields.
With a spatial ripple, a man's figure appeared in a strange vortex.
After adapting to the upgraded version of the virtual teleportation, Hyuga Hitoshi was obviously very satisfied.
Not only had the amount of chakra required for teleportation decreased significantly, but the small, downgraded space-time also expanded considerably.
He had always treated space-time as his mobile warehouse, and no one would complain about having a bigger backpack.
Standing firmly, Hyuga Hitoshi was about to move forward.
As he lifted his leg, a small doll spun in the air and squeezed out of the spatial passage with difficulty, then fell to the ground with a thud.
The teleportation finally stopped.
Otsutsuki Kaguya sat up straight and then coldly glanced at Hyuga Hitoshi.
Finally, she let out a cold snort, took out a comb, and began to tidy her long hair, which had become messy due to the spatial teleportation.
She knew that this man did it on purpose.
She would remember this debt for now, and one day, she would make the blasphemer pay with interest.
Well, Hitoshi's teleportation technique was not yet mature, and he overlooked the fact that even a slight spatial ripple was a great force for the miniature version of Kaguya.
"I'll be more careful next time."
Hyuga Hitoshi shrugged, not expecting Kaguya to understand him, and turned his head to look around at the displays.
Kaguya, who was combing her hair, also looked around, with a hint of deep excitement in her eyes.
A thousand years!
God knows how torturous it is to keep seeing the same scene.
Even though her real body was still on the moon, just appreciating her nursery like this made her very satisfied.
But, why do blasphemers always like to dig into caves?
Kaguya frowned and looked at Hyuga Hitoshi with some confusion.
But as the goddess of the moon, noble as she was, she did not intend to ask the blasphemer's thoughts.
She patted the dust off her body, and suddenly looked up, her face alert, looking into the distance.
There were footsteps.
Kaguya quickly changed from her relaxed state to a cold and aloof demeanor, slowly floating behind Hyuga Hitoshi.
The blasphemer should be very strong.
And since he came here on his own, there shouldn't be much of a problem, no need for the moon goddess to take action herself.
Finally.
As the footsteps grew more numerous, they eventually stopped.
Hyuga Hitoshi had a kind and friendly smile on his face.
But the person who came clearly had a darkened expression after seeing him, and the research materials in his hand probably didn't interest him anymore.
"Hitoshi-kun, I should have told you to give me a heads-up before you come."
And how did you know I was here?!
Orochimaru's eyes were filled with madness, he wanted to turn and run, but he knew running wouldn't solve the problem!
As long as this man wanted, he seemed to be able to appear in front of him at any time!
How did he do it?!
"Snake brother, don't get excited."
Hyuga Hitoshi's face was full of the warmth of meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and he naturally pressed Orochimaru onto a nearby chair.
"Phew."
Orochimaru was silent for a moment, then finally let out a breath, from the despair on his face, he really wanted to just give up and lie down.
"This time, I really came to ask you a question sincerely, regarding human experiments, you are the expert."
That was true.
Orochimaru's expression softened a bit, then he nodded.
"Hitoshi-kun, please speak."
Uh.
Hyuga Hitoshi pondered for a moment, then put forward his idea.
"It's like this, I recently went to the moon, and found that there are Hyuga clan members living there, a thousand years ago we were one family, after some friendly exchanges, I became their Patriarch."
Orochimaru: ?
The moon? Hyuga clan members? Patriarch?
Are you really not here to show off?
A look of despair appeared on Orochimaru's face.
"I studied our genes and I think we both have the potential to evolve, even to the point of returning to our ancestors, and even let the Byakugan evolve."
Hyuga Hitoshi spoke eloquently.
Stop talking!
Orochimaru's expression twisted.
While he was still studying molting techniques, others were already thinking about how to evolve themselves!
Compared to others, he was just a big waste!
"Also, I found that the natural energy a normal human body can withstand has a limit, maybe because the so-called natural energy is not pure enough, you don't know, when I was on the moon I felt that directly absorbing the power of the sun, and then undergoing sage transformation had even more ridiculous effects."
"Don't you know the white snake from Ryuchi Cave? Can you introduce me to it? I want to talk about the issue of becoming an immortal. Oh, by the way, I heard the three goddesses of Ryuchi Cave are quite beautiful. Have you seen them? Are they pretty?"
"And..."
Hyuga Hitoshi continued talking.
But adults often break down in an instant.
When Orochimaru twisted his face and slapped himself hard, he let out a heart-wrenching roar.
"Ah!!!"
