There is a problem with my spiritism in Naruto
Chapter 285 Assemble!Former rivals and friends
"Do you want to say that the novice I know is the novice you are talking about?" Naruto looked at Nara Shikamaru in front of him and asked in disbelief.
"Of course not." Nara Shikamaru shook his head, "I think that person may be a descendant of the person in the book."
The next day, Nara Luran and Naruto quickly found Kakashi and told Kakashi the inference that night. However, Kakashi was not surprised at all and just said, "It's useless to know, you guys." Can anyone make him stop?"
Seeing Kakashi's expression, Nara Shikamaru knew that he had known Xiaobai's identity for a long time, so the excitement that he originally thought he could leave this ghost place fell to the bottom.
Nara Shikamaru responded with a lazy look again, muttering "trouble" and walked out.
Five months later, the Five Shadows met.
Sitting around the round table across from each other, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the other four figures with blue veins on their faces, and couldn't help showing a headache expression on his face.
"Don't use this expression to win sympathy."
"We won't pity you"
"Haha." Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed dryly, "Of course I know, but can you guys be a little gentler? I just really have a headache about this matter."
"That's not necessarily true. Your people have been visiting my village for a whole month." Feng Ying leaned on the chair, his expression was very calm, neither sarcastic nor happy, just as if he was Talk about homely.
But as soon as these words came out, other shadows who had experienced similar experiences also slapped the table in response.
"Me too"
"Me... me too"
"I said, you Konoha ninjas can't afford to support themselves anymore, so let's keep them here." In the end, Raikage looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him with doubt on his face.
"Konoha isn't at that point yet," Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled helplessly. Although he knew it was just the other Kage making a joke on him, as the one who was being joked about, he still felt very uncomfortable.
In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a long time before he said out loud, "Let's do this. I will find a way to send an extra group of people to help you."
"No need." Kazekage waved his hand and said softly to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "As long as you don't help our own people, it's enough. We have found a suitable candidate."
Kazekage said, turned to behind him and said, "What do you think, Uchiha, Izuna?"
When Uchiha Izuna heard this name, Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly startled, and also followed the Kazekage's gaze.
A slender hand opened the door curtain, and a pair of black-eyed Uchiha Izuna walked out from behind the door curtain.
"How could you?" Regarding the face in front of him, although he had not seen it a few times, it coincided with the man in Sarutobi Hiruzen's image.
"How could I be so young?" Uchiha Izuna chuckled and looked down at his palms. "Konoha's forbidden arts are a great treasure. You have been fighting Konoha's rules since you took office. Of course not. You will understand the essence of it.”
"What do you...want to do?" Sarutobi Hiruzen felt his chest rising and falling violently, but he still forcibly stabilized his mind and looked at Uchiha Izuna in front of him.
"We will join forces with him to surround and kill the emerging organization called Peace." Feng Ying said, and couldn't help but chuckle. "It is really ironic that an organization that kills people every day is called Peace."
"What, have you found their location?" After hearing Kazekage's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly calmed down. Looking at Kazekage in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked aloud.
"Wait, how come we don't know about this?" Mizukage suddenly knocked on the table lightly and moved his eyes to Feng Ying.
"Well, well, aren't we discussing this?" the Tsuchikage said calmly, then turned to the Mizukage and explained in a low voice.
"I don't agree with why they want to take away the tailed beast." Mizukage heard half of it and shook his head very decisively. "If our tailed beast is taken away..."
"Don't worry, after this matter is over, the tailed beast will be returned." Feng Ying said softly to the side, "Which organization do you think can withstand the pressure of the five countries joining forces?"
After listening to Feng Ying's words, Mizukage felt that it made sense, so he sat down again and said no more.
"Then, your jinchuriki." Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the Raikage. "As far as I know, the eight-tailed jinchuriki should be your brother, Raikage-sama."
"Please rest assured that we have the most complete technology. If your brother even vomits a mouthful of blood during the process of taking out the jinchuriki, I can pay for it with my life." Uchiha Izuna smiled at him Raikage bowed and said.
"You are from the Leaf Village..." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Uchiha Senna in front of him with an expression of disbelief.
"Shut up, kid." Uchiha Izuna interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen expressionlessly, "What I do is my business. As for your Konoha Village, just hand over the Kyuubi. I don't need you to take action."
"I don't know what Hokage-sama wants." Finally, Uchiha Izuna asked Sarutobi Hiruzen again.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Kage's eyes shifted to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and for a moment, the originally peaceful atmosphere slowly became tense.
"No." After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly opened his eyes and said. The moment Sarutobi Hiruzen said this word, there was a sound of metal rubbing against clothes behind the flags of their respective countries.
"The Land of Fire will also join this siege." Sarutobi Hiruzen's words surprised Uchiha Izuna. After looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen with an interested expression for a long time, Uchiha Izuna couldn't bear it. Zhu laughed softly, "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, even your belonging has betrayed you."
"He is no longer from the Leaf Village." Sarutobi Hiruzen said expressionlessly and looked away.
"Hahahahaha." Uchiha Izuna's hearty laughter continued to echo in the conference room.
After getting the approval of the Five Shadows, the news that the five countries were going to send out coalition forces to crusade against the rebel organization quickly spread throughout the world. Both ninjas and civilians were discussing the matter, and Xiaobai naturally received it quickly. information.
Sitting cross-legged in a bungalow, Xiaobai looked at Kakuzu and Deidara in front of him with a bit of interest, and scratched his head with some distress, "Just you two soldiers, the people on my side want to It’s not enough to fight against the five major countries.”
"Shut up, I'm not a soldier." Deidara yelled at Xiaobai with an angry face, "I'm a genius, a genius of explosions."
"If Kakuzu and I cooperate, even a hundred jounin will be killed for you." Hidan pushed open the door with a grass root in his mouth.
"Please keep your voice down, are you afraid that others won't know that we are here?" Kakuzu glanced sideways at Hidan, then lowered his head. In his hand, he was holding a finely made solid gold calf.
"Forget it, I heard Deidara's loud voice even while standing outside the house." Hidan said with a nonchalant expression, "By the way, Xiaobai, are we really the only ones who can fight the Five Nations Allied Forces?" "
"There is also the Ran established by Uchiha Izuna. I have been sniped by them many times. Now that you have even killed the couple under you, I am afraid that the Mao Ninjutsu Academy will no longer be under your control. If the war starts like this , our winning rate is negative, and there is no possibility of survival.”
Saying this, Kakuzu's eyes suddenly showed a little fear. He glanced at Xiaobai and asked with a little uncertainty, "Is your uncle... dead?"
"What uncle?" Deidara asked a little strangely.
"Of course it's more than that." Xiaobai ignored Deidara's question and suddenly moved his gaze to the direction of the door, showing a smile, "Aren't the reinforcements coming?"
After hearing Xiaobai's words, everyone looked back and saw Orochimaru suddenly walking in with Kabuto.
"Long time no see, Mr. Xiaobai." Orochimaru said, looking at Kakuzu and the others in front of him with a slightly interested expression. "Now people in the village are talking about you every day. You plan to start a war directly with these people." "
"You're here, aren't you?" Xiaobai said with a relaxed smile, "Uchiha Izuna doesn't dare to come to this place where I am, he knows what's here."
"What's here?" Deidara looked around with confusion. "This is just a small broken room in the old site of the Uzumaki Clan. Even the Uzumaki Clan themselves are no longer here."
"There is a sealing technique here." Orochimaru looked around, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Sealing Technique" Kakuzu's face twitched slightly, as if he thought of something.
"By the way, Master Xiaobai." Orochimaru looked at the surrounding space and then moved his gaze to Xiaobai again. "Do you want to tell Tsunade that you and Baidu are here? She heard the news that Konoha is going to besiege you. , the teacher’s door was almost smashed by her.”
"Da...Dabai" Before Xiaobai could say anything, Kakudu suddenly shouted with horror on his face, "He is not dead yet. Did he use some magic?"
"Who is Baymax? I can't stand it anymore. Can you finish it all at once?" Deidara pulled his hair in a frenzy.
"As for Tsunade, forget it." Xiaobai shook his head, "I would rather face the five-nation coalition." After saying that, Xiaobai stood up, reached out and patted Orochimaru on the shoulder, "Come here if you have learned from the Tensei Tensei." Do something with me."
"So that's it." When Orochimaru heard Xiaobai's words, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes. Then, Orochimaru followed Xiaobai out with excitement on his face.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Deidara shouted from behind with a puzzled look on his face.
After leaving the village where Uzumaki was located, Xiaobai quickly took Orochimaru to the beach.
"Lord Orochimaru, what are we going to do?" Kabuto approached Orochimaru and whispered.
"Don't be anxious, you will soon see the most spectacular scene since you were born." Orochimaru looked at Xiaobai expectantly.
"You pervert, don't look at me with such a vulgar look." Xiaobai stood aside with some disgust, and then began to form seals in his hands.
"Yeah, psychic skills." Before Kabuto could react, a man wearing red ancient armor suddenly walked out of the smoke.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, your appearance has not changed at all... Lord Baymax" Orochimaru said with a face full of amazement.
Aren't you too.Dabai wrote casually in front of him.
"What Muji Ninjutsu?" Kabuto's eyes narrowed. He watched the flames slowly dissipate and couldn't help but push up his glasses. "It's just an ordinary fire attribute change, not the blood successor limit...ah."
"This is a kind of secret technique. It evolved from the Akimichi family's doubling technique. It is recorded in the book." Orochimaru said, and asked Damax, "So, what corpses do we have now?"
Dabai ignored Orochimaru, and after completing his seal in his hand, coffins suddenly rose from the ground.
When the coffin cracked, Deidara, who was hiding in the tree, couldn't help shouting, "The corpse can't fight."
"Idiot, you can't keep your voice down." Hidan, who was squatting aside, was about to kiss Deidara's head with his fist, but when he saw Deidara's blinking eyes under his bangs, he gave up immediately. Got this idea.
Seeing that his whereabouts were exposed, Kakuzu jumped down from the tree and came to Dabai's side, with a look of fear in his eyes, "I didn't expect you to be really alive."
The world is impermanent.
"What body should we use to summon?" Orochimaru asked Baymax impatiently. "If we use an ordinary body, I'm afraid we won't be able to unleash the full strength of these people."
you guess.Dabai rarely blinked his eyes, but his hands were frantically forming seals like butterflies piercing flowers.
The speed of forming the seals was so fast that even Deidara, who had the best eyesight among everyone, could not catch what kind of seals Xiaobai had formed.
After the seal was completed, the red moon in the sky suddenly appeared. The huge red moon blocked the sun above everyone's heads, and the whole world was suddenly enveloped in blood.
"You actually made this thing" Hidan looked at the red moon in the sky with excitement on his face "What is that thing?"
Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and countless petri dishes suddenly broke out of the ground, revealing bodies with eyes closed inside.
"..." Looking at the people who seemed to be sleeping in front of him, Kakuzu couldn't help but have a terrifying thought in his heart.
"Perfect... body." The excitement on Orochimaru's face was already welling up like a tide. Can't wait, Dabai and Orochimaru suddenly began to form a tacit understanding of the seal.
The body in the petri dish was suddenly wrapped in countless pieces of paper. In just a few breaths, the people in the petri dish all opened their eyes, broke open the petri dish and stood in front of Xiaobai and the others.
"Crazy...he is really crazy." Kakuzu muttered to himself.
"Then we will have dozens of people fighting six armies." Deidara and Hidan were dumbfounded for a moment.
"If these people really had the same strength as they did in life, they would be able to fight six armies... It would be more than enough..." After finishing these words, Kakuzu couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth.
After living for so many years, he originally thought that he had seen enough big scenes, but it was not until today that Kakuzu suddenly realized that what he had seen before was just a small wave in the sea. .That’s all.
Dabai looked at the people in front of him. After being silent for a long time, he gently wrote in front of him, "Long time no see, my friends and..." .Opponents.
"Of course not." Nara Shikamaru shook his head, "I think that person may be a descendant of the person in the book."
The next day, Nara Luran and Naruto quickly found Kakashi and told Kakashi the inference that night. However, Kakashi was not surprised at all and just said, "It's useless to know, you guys." Can anyone make him stop?"
