The will of fire can't save the Ninja world

Chapter 222 After the Chaos
"Hurry up!"

On the official road of the Kingdom of Fire, several figures were flying.

A few tens of miles away, Shuimen could not help but feel anxious when he saw the flames in front of him.

Just two hours ago, Konoha received a message from the front.

The Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire was unexpectedly attacked by unknown forces.

The news came back through the psychic beast, and Konoha left overnight.

Thousands of ninjas rushed to support at night.

But as they accelerated desperately, only Minato and Uchiha Xiangyang were left in the front.

Even the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen fell behind because of his age.

This is a very dangerous formation for the march, but at this time they can't take that much into consideration.

After all, the Fire Nation daimyo is their nominal collaborator, and the actual leader. If the daimyo collapses, then the Fire Nation will really be in chaos.

The worst thing is not the death of the daimyo, but the fear that the entire capital will be destroyed with the daimyo, including those ministers.

"I didn't expect Uchiha Madara to be hiding in the Daming Mansion."

In fact, Minato has noticed the recent changes in the Land of Fire, including the daimyo's attitude.

But the so-called fans of the authorities, Konoha thinks that the daimyo is dissatisfied with them.

After all, during this period of time they were in a state of secret confrontation, intelligence infiltration, including commercial disputes, and it was reasonable for the Daming Mansion to make some strange moves at this time.

But he never expected that it was because Konoha's greatest enemy, Uchiha Madara, secretly controlled the Daming Mansion.

And the embarrassing thing is that I don't know how long he has been in control. Could those guards sent to Konoha also be Uchiha Madara's eyeliner?
During this period of time, they have come into contact with a lot of things. If they are mastered by Uchiha Madara, then things will be a bit bad.

"What's worse is that someone actually did something in the capital. Those guys knew Uchiha Madara was there in advance, and they weren't afraid of starting a ninja war." Uchiha Xiangyang glanced at Minato.

Now the frontline intelligence has not found out who is doing it.

At that scale, small forces and individual organizations can be ruled out.

In the whole ninja world, there are really few possibilities.

If personal likes and dislikes are excluded, only Xianyin Island has the courage and ability in the whole world.

But from the perspective of motivation, it is a bit too reluctant.

Minato didn't make wild guesses, but just quickened his pace.

Outside the capital city, whether it was a former commoner or aristocrats, they are all crowded in the forest to keep warm in the cold.

Even in the middle of the night, many people here did not fall asleep, and there were even several fatal accidents.

But now it's a trivial matter.

Compared with the overthrow of the Fire Nation's regime, those things are not up to Konoha to come forward.

"We're still late."

Shuimen stood at the top of the city, looked at the burning capital, and sighed.

Even though they were rushing with all their strength, the distance from Konoha to the capital of the Fire Country was not close, and half a day had passed.

The flames on the capital side spread to the whole city without anyone dealing with it.

Flames, ashes, and ruins, the grand scene of the past can no longer be seen here.

"Look to see if there are any survivors."

Minato sighed and jumped down.

At this time, the attackers had already run away, and now they can only clean up the mess and reduce losses.

In the capital city, someone had arrived one step ahead of them and was searching for survivors.

These people are all bald and wearing monk robes.

It is not difficult to guess that they are monks from the Temple of Fire.

When the monks saw a ninja coming, they were very afraid.

But after seeing the person's appearance and attire clearly, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Konoha's forehead guard, Hokage's cloak, and golden hair, there is no doubt that it is the man called Yellow Flash.

However, the monks and the people of the Ninja sect have nothing to talk about, and the two sides do not interfere with each other, and they rarely communicate.

After confirming that they were not here to cause trouble, the people in the Temple of Fire dispersed and devoted themselves to the rescue work.

However, Minato found the abbot in the crowd, put his hands together politely and said: "Master Abbot is kind-hearted and merciful. Konoha's follow-up troops are on the way and will come to support immediately. I don't know what happened in the capital?"

After all, Minato is the head of a village, and in terms of influence in the Ninja world, he is far greater than the head of the Temple of Fire.

Even if the abbot didn't want to talk about it, he didn't dare to underestimate it: "I don't know the details, I only know that Uchiha Madara and Yunyin Village had a conflict here."

The old monk glanced at the center of the city, where half a meteorite was exposed, which was daunting.

They were closer to the capital, and the battle had just ended when they came.

But they didn't dare to go up and harass them. After all, in the entire Temple of Fire, there are not many people who can be shown.

Among the Guardian Ninja Twelve, Ji Lu is already their strongest combat power at present.

But even Di Lu died silently. In this kind of battle where humans can't intervene, the monks chose to come out to help after the fact.

After the monk finished speaking, he continued to spread out to see if there were any victims.

Minato frowned, thinking about what he just said.

Hearing that it was done by Yunyin Village, Minato can only be said to be reasonable, but also unexpected.

Yunyin Village does have a motive to attack Uchiha Madara. Whether it is to avenge the crisis that almost destroyed the village, or Uchiha Madara is very likely to threaten the Eight-tailed Jinchuriki, it is enough for the violent Raikage to make a move.

But Minato didn't expect Raikage to be so reckless.

And it was reckless to run to their territory.

Now the top management of the Fire Nation is almost dead, and there is no way to clean up this mess.

Uchiha Xiangyang came back from the meteorite at this time, with an unbelievable expression on his face, "Confirmed, some burnt corpses found the forehead guards of Yunyin Village and their signature weapons. Excluding extreme cases, basically It can be confirmed that it was made by Yunyin Village. Hiss—I just don’t know about the meteorite.”

Uchiha Xiangyang, as a member of the Uchiha family, can hardly imagine how that kind of ninjutsu was created.

Inhuman ah simply.

Minato, who had already received the answer from the Temple of Fire, just nodded: "Let's save people first, and by the way, pay attention to whether there are any lurking enemies left behind."

The two separated again, and went wherever they heard calls for help.

When it was almost dawn, Konoha's ninjas finally arrived and joined the rescue work.

Minato then left the capital to comfort the residents outside the city.

Mainly local nobles and officials.

After all, the capital of the Kingdom of Fire is the most affluent place, and most of the ministers and meritorious nobles live in the city and are affected.

The Nation of Fire has no leader now, and someone has to come out to preside over the situation.

But when Minato really went to meet these people, he immediately felt a headache.

The first is that the loss is too serious.

Uchiha Madara controlled most of the core nobles. When Uchiha Madara was busy fighting, those people had no thoughts of their own, and basically died in the Daming Mansion, or were hit by the flames.

It can be said that half of the capable ministers and generals were not left behind.

And those non-core members who managed to escape, after a whole night of fear, their minds gradually came alive,

It stands to reason that most of these people have nothing to do with the powerful or inherit family property in their lives.

But now is the chance.

Those who were originally in front of them are now basically dead.

According to status, seniority, and order of succession, they were blessed by misfortune and saw hope.

But how many of these people who were originally squeezed out from the margins of the nobility and power are really capable?
Even if there is, it is only a very small part.

Even though many people received elite education when they were young, most of them began to enjoy life after learning that there was no hope of inheritance, and they forgot the skills they learned in the early years.

If this group of people were to preside over the overall situation, the Kingdom of Fire might not last for a few days.

What makes Minato even more troublesome is that many of them hope to gain power and identity with the support of him, Hokage.

Some secretly promised benefits, while others directly threatened and reprimanded them.

There are so many ugliness, it makes people speechless.

At first Minato was gently persuading, but later his face gradually turned cold.

The shelf of this country is about to fall, and this group of people is still fighting for power here. It is really hopeless.

To be honest, even if it's just a big name down, it's okay to say.

But now the entire power structure is almost at a standstill, just like when Uchiha Yuya killed Konoha's middle and senior management.

But Konoha has a small place after all, and there are enough candidates to join in.

But the land of fire
Minato looked at the noisy and powerful juniors in front of him, feeling powerless.

He simply left early on the grounds that he was preparing to take revenge on Yunyin Village.

After returning to the temporary camp, Uchiha came back to report the situation to Yang.

"The loss in the capital is heavy. Only [-]% of the buildings are usable. The casualties are still being counted. Except for the Daming Mansion, the casualties of other civilians have exceeded [-]."

Uchiha Xiangyang sighed, the subsequent fire caused too much damage, and the impact of the meteorite when it landed.

Many who failed to escape outside the city basically died in these two disasters.

To be honest, even if there are a few people with organizational skills left in the Nation of Fire, the number of casualties may be only a fraction.

However, everyone was terrified, and no one could organize a rescue, they were all waiting outside the city.

As a result, this situation can be said to be the largest casualty in the history of the Nation of Fire.

"The situation on the side of the attacker is also very bad. No survivors have been found so far, but the corpses are a bit burnt, and the identity of the deceased is still unclear for the time being. I don't know if Lei Ying died here."

Judging from the results, it is undoubtedly Uchiha Madara's victory.

It's a pity, I don't know if Uchiha Madara was injured, and where he went now.

"Are there no ninja warriors alive?"

Watergate asked.

The capital of the Fire Country can be said to be the place where Konoha has the most ninja warriors.

Some nobles will more or less raise some as bodyguards.

Including the daimyo's side, as well as the Guardian Ninja Twelve who they just participated in.

It stands to reason that if they don't directly participate in the battle, they still have a high chance of surviving.

Uchiha Xiangyang shook his head: "Currently there is no way to count them. They are all scorched black corpses, and some are turned into ashes. There may be some alive, but they ran away, or Uchiha Madara has already arranged and solved them in advance. gone."

Minato sighed.

If there are surviving people, you may be able to get some additional news, such as the battle situation and so on.

And soon, he suddenly thought of another question.

Among the twelve guardian ninjas, Konoha has contributed a lot, and one of them has a special identity.

Sarutobi Asma.
When Uchiha Yuya slaughtered the major ninja clans, there were no males over ten years old.

This also means that the Sarutobi family is broken?

At this time, Inuzuka Zuo, who was in charge of the rescue outside, came back and brought news: "Asuma Sarutobi has been found, and the person is still alive. The third generation of seniors just received him."

Minato and Xiangyang looked at each other and asked strangely, "What's the matter with him?"

Although it is a good thing that Asma survived, it always feels a little abnormal.

There are no ninjas in the whole city, but Asma alone?
This has to make people wonder if Uchiha Madara left it on purpose.

Inuzuka Chou was also a little puzzled, but still shook his head: "From what he said so far, it seems to be all right."

"He said that at night, he was confronting someone from another faction who guarded the ninja. The man named Hema seemed to want to defect, so he went to test it."

"As a result, the battle broke out out of nowhere. They found out that it was Yun Nin, and they were hunted down for a while, and they were seriously injured."

"The man named Hema also survived. He followed Uchiha Madara and left. He was seriously injured and suspended animation. Fortunately, we found it in time and escaped later."

Judging from the statement, there is really no problem.

The daimyo of the Fire Nation has indeed been unusual recently. As their guards, conflicts are understandable.

The timing is a bit coincidental, but not without reason.

This did not completely dispel Minato's doubts, but there is no explanation for it for the time being.

At this time, Inuzuka Claw whispered: "Three generations are very excited, his side."

Minato thought for a while and said, "Let's keep observing first, and just do it without telling Sarutobi-senpai."

Without thinking about it, Hiruzaru Sarutobi would have some emotional problems at this time.

As the only surviving son, he has not grown up to leave a seed. If he dies, their Sarutobi family will really have no incense.

The three generations who are already old, even if they have some doubts in their hearts at this time, they will convince themselves and round up the doubtful points. At this time, it is meaningless to try to deny it.

As the Minato of Hokage, it can only be said that he secretly found someone to keep an eye on it.

"Speaking of which, what about the people sent by the Daming Mansion before?"

Uchiha Xiangyang thought of this.

At the time when the Daming Mansion sent people over, they were not sure whether Uchiha Madara was in control of the Daming Mansion at that time.

Now their suspicion is no lower than that of Asma.

Minato thought for a while: "Find a reason to send them back to the capital."

If those people keep it, it is indeed a ticking time bomb.

Expenses are definitely needed, but not too direct.

Now the entire ninja world will pay attention to the Nation of Fire. If the cutting is too severe, it will inevitably make people wonder if there is something wrong with Konoha's attitude towards the Nation of Fire.

Inuzuka Zuo thought about it, and felt that this matter would be a headache in the future.

The re-establishment of the ruling framework of the Land of Fire, the attitudes of the daimyos of other countries, the revenge on Yunyin Village, and so on.

Not so easy to dismiss.

Moreover, if Jinchuriki of Yunyin Village is captured by Uchiha Madara here this time, it means that Uchiha Madara has more and more tailed beasts in his hands, and his next goal
One tail in Sand Hidden Village and Seven Tails in Yan Hidden Village, other than that, they are Konoha's two tailed beasts.

Regardless of which side Uchiha Madara looks for first, the impact on the ninja world will be considerable.

Minato obviously thought of this too, with a gloomy look on his face.

This ninja world seems to be in chaos again.

He called Nara Shikahisa to hold an emergency meeting.

There is only one theme of the meeting: against Uchiha Madara!

"The matter over the Land of Rain is over, it's time to withdraw the manpower."

"Uchiha Madara can even control the daimyo for his own plan, and his determination is unstoppable."

"We can't imagine how dangerous it is for him to get all the tailed beasts. This matter must be killed in the cradle."

"From now on, notify other forces to form an elite team to find and fight Uchiha Madara!"
