Chapter 87, Kakuzu!

The son of the head of the Konohagakure police force...

The granddaughter of the Konohagakure Hokage...

Where did these second generations come from...

The Kumogakure Jonin pursed his lips somewhat helplessly. If it was just an ordinary elite squad, that would be fine.

Although they didn't let them fight to the death with Purple Lightning on the battlefield.

But the cost of failing the mission is enough to make a ninja very uncomfortable. If combined with the appropriate public opinion guidance, it's not difficult to make a ninja retired.

But if the Hokage's granddaughter is involved...

The Kumogakure Jonin sighed in his heart. This could easily turn into an international issue.

If the Hokage holds Kumogakure accountable for this matter, it would really be a very troublesome thing.

If it was Kumogakure before the war, they would definitely not be afraid.

Even after the war, Kumogakure was not afraid.

But Kumogakure, who had fought with Purple Lightning for a while after the war, if possible, still didn't want to provoke too much trouble.

It's not that they're afraid, it's just too troublesome. It's just a little money, there's no need to go that far.

So, after the Kumogakure Jonin told Sarutobi Hiruzen the expected location of the decisive battle, he left with his people.

"Let's go."

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around, gave a light laugh to Raijin and the others, and walked towards the final battlefield at a leisurely pace.

Next, the most difficult thing is to snatch the head.

It can be said that there is no difficulty at all!

Compared to the ease on Sarutobi Hiruzen's side, the Jonins from the three major hidden villages gathered in the Land of Hot Water are not so comfortable.

"There should be no chance."

The Sunagakure Jonin said somewhat helplessly. They have been entangled with Purple Lightning here for a full three months, which is a great assist to Kumogakure.

In the end, they got nothing, really just free labor...

"Raikage should be very happy now, right?"

The Kirigakure Jonin hammered the table discontentedly.

As soon as they arrived at the border of the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Moon and encountered Muramasa's ambush, the Kirigakure Jonin understood what was going on.

As for now, they dare not chase, they can only cut their losses in time.

"Didn't Konohagakure send anyone? From beginning to end, it seems that no one from Konohagakure has been seen."

The Iwagakure Jonin said somewhat puzzledly, it shouldn't be, Konohagakure has no reason to give up this mission.

"Is it important? No matter what Konohagakure is like now, we definitely have no chance. I will definitely not chase after. Who knows if those madmen will suddenly retaliate for the future development of Kumogakure?"

The Kirigakure Jonin said coldly.

"Ah... forget it, let's go back to the village."

The Sunagakure Jonin sighed helplessly, turned around and left directly.

The remaining two Jonins looked at each other, didn't say anything, and went back to their own rooms.

...

At this time, Sarutobi's team was already hiding near the battlefield.

They definitely won't go up. At this time, whether to sit and watch Kumogakure and Purple Lightning fight bloody battles, or to rush up to shed blood for Kumogakure, don't talk about ninjas.

The refugees in the ninja world who are in danger all know how to choose.

With the heart net spread out, Raijin and his team found a relatively hidden place to hide.

If they were thirsty, they would drink the water they brought, and if they were hungry, they would eat soldier ration pills.

It's a bit bitter, but thinking about the reward for this mission, it's not a big deal to suffer a bit.

Comfort is left to the dead.

This is Raijin's first time on the battlefield. Although there are only Kumogakure and Purple Lightning on this battlefield, it is more like Kumogakure's civil war than a war in the ninja world.

But its intensity also opened Raijin's eyes.

There were no ninjas gathered together to bombard each other with Ninjutsu. More often, it was local wars conducted by ninja teams composed of three or four people.

In a not-so-large area, there were roars, reprimands, screams, and painful roars.

This not-so-large valley seemed to have turned into a bloody meat grinder. Countless ninjas entered here and couldn't get out.

But it's worth mentioning that Raijin's heart net also caught an interesting ninja.

Kakuzu, who seems to still stand on the side of Purple Lightning.

Sure enough, not only Kumogakure hired ninjas, although Purple Lightning could not get the support of a large hidden village like Konohagakure.

As long as there's money, you can still hire experts.

"The leader of Purple Lightning, Kinkaku Ginkaku, is said to have been born with the bloodline of Rikudou Sennin. They were swallowed by the Nine-Tails in the past, but not only they did not die, they even gained a part of the Nine-Tails' power by eating its body. Plus, those Ninja Tools that are said to be inherited from Rikudou Sennin, I really don't know if the Third Raikage can defeat these two brothers."

Compared to the harshness of the battlefield, Sarutobi's team here can be described as peaceful.

Although they are occasionally affected, it basically has no impact.

"If the Hokage-sama had negotiated in Kumogakure Village at the beginning, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smacked his lips, his voice filled with a bit of fear.

Although Senju Tobirama does not have the power of Senju Hashirama that is strong enough to suppress the entire ninja world.

But as long as Senju Tobirama is still there, everyone's hearts will ultimately be at ease.

"I think the Third Raikage might win, but it will come at a certain cost."

Raijin said to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Yes, the Second Raikage is old, but the Third Raikage is too young in comparison."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and together with Raijin, they discussed the war.

"Yes, this war is enough to greatly damage Kumogakure."

Raijin nodded, chatting with Sarutobi Hiruzen on one side, and without any warning, drew his sword and slashed backwards.

And the moment Raijin drew his sword, a fist flew towards Raijin at high speed.

Behind the fist, there were countless black lines of unknown material connected.

Thunder wrapped around the blade, drawing a sharp trajectory in the air.

The blade collided with the fist, sparks flew, and the fist flew back.

"What a beautiful sword technique."

Kakuzu's figure silently appeared in front of Raijin and the others.

"But compared to your First Hokage, it's really far behind."

Kakuzu hooked up a disdainful sneer at the corner of his mouth and moved the wrist that had been cut back by Raijin.

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils suddenly shrank. He had fought with the First Hokage-sama?

Then this guy's strength...

Although he didn't know the specific process of the fight, being able to survive was enough to prove the strength of this ninja.

Moreover, this ninja doesn't look old.

"We have no intention of being your enemy, and we will not influence the direction of this war."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Kakuzu with a serious face, and without changing his expression, he took two steps forward and blocked Raijin behind him.
