Chapter 81 All Tactical Transformers
Rewind the clock by about an hour.
At that time, the Akatsuki's attack had spread like wildfire, and the Rain Village was powerless to resist it!
Meanwhile, the Konoha Root, as an ally and on whom Hanzo placed high hopes, performed even worse.
With reinforcements arriving late and the vanguard suffering heavy losses, it seemed they were about to be forced to retreat in disgrace without even putting up a decent resistance.
But at this critical moment, Black Zetsu led Yuichi, the Rain Ninja who was possessed by White Zetsu, away from the capital of the Land of Rain. They traveled through forests and through treacherous places, and finally found Danzo, the leader of Root, in the border area!
When they found the remnants of the root, Danzo was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
By this time, Danzo had already learned that reinforcements had been cut off.
He also received an order from Minato Namikaze, a scathing command that ordered him to immediately withdraw Root from the Land of Rain and return to the front lines of the Land of Fire to report for duty.
This was the first time Minato Namikaze had given Danzo such a tough order.
This stems partly from the pressure exerted by the Uchiha clan, and partly from the butterfly effect brought about by the variable of Shiba Kiyokawa.
Although Kakashi's village trial a few months ago ended without any serious consequences, it completely tore open the rift between Minato Namikaze and Elder Danzo!
Thanks to Obito's simple-mindedness, the whole village now knows that it was Root that was making things difficult for Kakashi!
The scene of Obito accidentally appearing during a high-level battle is much like a husky suddenly sneaking into a pack of wolves fighting for survival...
The poor father and son from the Nara family racked their brains but couldn't figure out what went wrong.
These contradictions are not present in the original timeline.
Now that the frontline commanders on all fronts are starting to disrespect him, Danzo can only fly into a rage.
I was reluctant to leave, but I didn't know what I could do if I went in. I was almost stuck in an awkward situation.
Fortunately, at that moment, Black Zetsu arrived with Yuichi.
Yuichi immediately gave Danzo a vicious suggestion upon arrival!
"Now that the entire Akatsuki has been mobilized, their rear must be vulnerable! Why don't we take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on their stronghold?"
Danzo looked at the man suspiciously, "Do you know where Akatsuki's stronghold is?"
"Besides, doing this would delay our rescue of Hanzo. As a Rain Ninja, why would you suggest I do this?"
Yuichi licked his lips and smiled wickedly.
"Everything I've done is for the Land of Rain, and I believe Lord Hanzo will understand me."
Danzo narrowed his eyes and stared at Yuichi, who was disguised as White Zetsu, with a dangerous look for a full two seconds.
He suspected that this person was talking about him, but he had no evidence!
Seeing that Danzo was still hesitating, Yuichi pressed on, "This tactic is our only chance of victory now, Lord Danzo, please make a decision quickly!"
Although the Land of Rain doesn't have a West Lake, Yuichi still managed to master the ultimate technique of a certain contestant surnamed Sun without any formal instruction.
A master of all tactical transitions!
The North is beyond saving, so let's head south and trade locations with the Akatsuki!
After all, Black Zetsu's goals were completely different from those of Hanzo and Danzo from the very beginning. He didn't care about the Land of Rain or the Akatsuki.
He just wanted to plunge Nagato into despair.
At this moment, the seeds of despair were sown in the Akatsuki's rear base!
Because of this battle, Yahiko did not go on the Northern Expedition!
Yahiko has always opposed Akatsuki initiating a war, regardless of the reasons.
Even though Shiba Kiyokawa has now usurped the leadership position, he still insists on not personally getting involved in the war.
In a sense, Yahiko's belief in peace was indeed very firm.
However, when Danzo and Yuichi arrived with their team, this determination turned out to be his death warrant.
"Brother Yahiko, run!"
The Akatsuki members who remained at the base all held Yahiko in high esteem, and the little girl, Hydrangea, was the first to loudly urge Yahiko to leave.
However, if he were to abandon his companions and flee alone in such a critical moment, he wouldn't be Yahiko.
"Earth Release: Rock Collapse!"
Yahiko fought with all his might, forming hand seals!
When Ziyanghua was captured after being overpowered, he roared angrily, "Let her go!"
Black Zetsu, mingling among the accompanying Root ninja and Rain ninja, spoke in a sinister tone: "Hehehe! If you want us to release her, you'll have to trade your own life for it!"
Like a cycle of fate, this scene is extremely similar to the original timeline, except that in the original story it was Konan who was captured, while now it is Hydrangea.
Yahiko's answer was as always: "Okay, I promise! Just don't hurt her!"
The hydrangea that had fallen to the base of my hand looked utterly hopeless.
However, in this current timeline, Yahiko has endured more than half a year of intellectual crushing and torture from Shiba Kiyokawa. Although he remains kind and innocent, he has eventually developed some brains.
"Release her first, then I'll go with you. I'm willing to trade with her!"
He at least knew to let the enemy release the person first, instead of foolishly rushing to his death on his teammate's kunai like in the original story.
Bai Jueyou urged in a deep voice, "If you die, we will naturally spare the others!"
Unexpectedly, Yahiko finally understood: "No! No way! You have to release them first and then leave. I can leave with you, but I can't die right now!"
This unexpected turn of events caused Black Zetsu to frown, but it instantly rekindled hope in Hydrangea, who had been captured and pinned to the ground!
I'm so touched!
Our silly spore brother finally showed his brain at the crucial moment!
It was by taking advantage of Yahiko's rare display of high intelligence that she managed to buy some time, allowing Hydrangea to secretly remotely control her spirit birds that she had released outside, instructing them to carry messages and take off to the north to call for reinforcements.
Thus, the scene unfolded where Shiba Kiyokawa and the others received a distress call after defeating Hanzo the Salamander.
Nagato was the first to lose control and immediately became flustered.
"I want to go back!"
He yelled and rushed back without regard for anything else, at an astonishing speed!
Just as Shiba Kiyokawa raised his hand to try and stop him, he had already vanished without a trace.
At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa, who had just begun to relax, felt his heart leap into his throat again!
He sensed an extremely dangerous aura!
It was as if, beneath the deep river of fate, the terrifying ghost shark was still staring intently at him, ready to drag him down at any moment!
Xiao Nan advised, "Qing He, you should continue to go into the city to take charge of the overall situation. I'll go back and keep an eye on Nagato for you."
From the perspective of the situation alone, Konan's suggestion was actually quite reasonable, but Shiba Kiyokawa rejected it without hesitation, his face terribly gloomy.
"No!"
At that moment, Konan sensed the panic in Shiba Kiyokawa's eyes, as well as a deep-seated fear.
She didn't understand why.
But after a little thought, she chose to support Shiba Kiyokawa without hesitation!
At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa was still worrying about how to explain things to Minami.
When he turned around, Xiao Nan unexpectedly leaned in, clasped her hands together, and wrapped them around one of his hands.
The warmth of his palm reached her, and the girl in front of him smiled gently, tenderly, and full of trust.
"I don't know what you're worried about, but don't be afraid, I'm here, I've always been here."
If you're worried, we'll go back together. If you're still concerned that Nagato might lose control, then we'll go pick up Kaoru-neechan.
There will be a way, Qinghe, there definitely will be a way.
In that instant, Shiba Kiyokawa, who had been anxious because of this sudden change, suddenly calmed down.
The cruel twists of fate are indeed terrifying!
But some things have changed after all!
