Chapter 656 I didn’t expect that you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would run away!
The southern area of ​​Konoha has become a ruin!
Jiraiya's face was filled with annoyance.

Because his opponent ran away, and ran away from him.

And not only that, when the Anbu reported the failed pursuit, his face was covered with a mask of pain.

That's horrible!
Hundreds of ninjas in pursuit were killed or wounded.

In other words, the number of Konoha ninjas who died at the hands of the escaped Hyuga branches has exceeded several hundred.

There is no room for recovery for either side.

Konoha's loss of the Hyuga clan was already a heavy blow, and now the loss of hundreds of ninjas was simply adding insult to injury.

A few hundred ninjas are something Konoha can afford under normal circumstances.

But now Konoha is being invaded by the Cloud Ninja and the Iwa Ninja in front, and the attack on the Sand Ninja failed in the back, resulting in the loss of a large number of ninjas.

Now that we have a few hundred less, the transfer has become even more difficult.

And more than that!

The fire also had a significant impact on Huoye.

There were no ninjas who died in the fire, and the casualties among the villagers were not heavy, after all, most of the ninjas participated in the rescue.

The problem is the economic loss!

The loss of various materials and buildings is the most fatal.

In the past, Konoha was able to defeat many enemies with just one blow, not only because of its own strong strength, but also because of its huge economic advantage.

Now first the Konoha collapse plan caused a big fire, and now it comes again, directly leaving no chance of survival.

At the same time, the two fires will further undermine the confidence of merchants.

In the past, the Land of Fire only had two commercial centers, either Kyoto or Konoha, but because there were too many nobles in Kyoto... those who knew understood, so most merchants were willing to come to Konoha to trade.

But now, with Konoha experiencing a series of incidents, they would logically turn to Kyoto.

But isn't there an extra castle tower now?

With this option, it is not impossible for them to change their plans.

After all, merchants are all about profit, and if they can make enough profit in the castle tower, they don't care where the transaction takes place.

All I can say is that this fire can at least boost the castle tower's business by a few percent.

Don't underestimate this data.

The current population of the castle tower is over one million, and the commercial share is absolutely an astronomical figure.

In the future, it might not be impossible that Konoha will have to go to the castle tower to purchase supplies.

Thinking of these losses, Jiraiya walked to the edge of the battlefield with a stern face and started shouting.

"Uchiha Dohei, why don't you take action?"

If the other party had helped just now, they would definitely have been able to keep the guy from Akatsuki, and it would have been impossible for him to cause such great damage and delay for such a long time.

But he just didn't take any action and just watched the show here.

"Didn't I tell you that Koji and I are injured?"

Douping answered lazily, not taking Jiraiya seriously at all.

Are you kidding? It’s true that you are ‘Auki’, but I am also the ‘Purifying Flame’, so who’s afraid of who?

If you have the guts, let’s start a war here!
Although it was difficult to carry rice with six people watching, Tang Ping still had the courage to kill people, and it was very big! .

If Jiraiya dared to die, he would bury him.

In the past, he always showed mercy to these key figures in order to foresee the plot.

But now?

The table has already been overturned, even Mount Myōboku has been conquered and the Great Toad Sage has been chopped to death, so why should we care about the plot?

Whoever dares to commit suicide will be buried.

"What about them?"

Jiraiya points to Naruko, Karin, Izumi, and Hinata Sogetsu (AA).

(The God whose presence is everlasting!)
During the battle just now, all the Konoha ninjas present took action.

Regardless of whether it worked or not, at least they made a move. But several of them didn't even throw a kunai, let alone make a move. It was really hard to watch.

"Senior Jiraiya, have you forgotten that I am 'disabled'?"

Hinata Sogetsu reminded Jiraiya in a gentle tone.

Yes, she is disabled!

His right leg was disguised with a 'false leg' since he was young, and then he was forced to go to the battlefield.

You want me to fight all the time, isn't that a bit too inhumane?

Facing Hinata Sogetsu's gaze, Jiraiya's old face blushed and he looked at the remaining people.

"We are not Konoha ninjas. Konoha is the leader of the five major ninja villages. You can't possibly ask ninjas from a 'small place' like us to help you, right?"

Naruko asked back with a pitiful and innocent look on her face.

Yes, she, Karin, and Izumi are not Konoha ninjas. Although the castle tower is nominally a subsidiary force of Konoha, after all, Dohei is a Konoha ninja.

The problem is that this method of calculation depends on whether he recognizes it or not.

If you don't admit it, you can just pretend that you are not it.

Now that Naruko said this, there really was no problem.

As for Kasumi, after seeing the misfortunes of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo, she took the airship to "return" to the castle tower.

Of course, after leaving Konoha, they felt that the scenery was beautiful, so it was natural to let the airship stop more than ten kilometers away to appreciate the scenery, and then "pick up passengers" along the way.

There will definitely be people who suspect that the timing of Uzumaki Kasumi's departure with the airship was too coincidental.

But the same thing goes, no matter how suspicious it is, as long as there is no actual evidence, Konoha will have to bear the consequences.

He had often plotted against the castle tower in the past, and this time it could be considered as Dohei's revenge.

"…you!"

Before Jiraiya could say anything, Utane Koharu, who had a small temper to begin with, almost went crazy because of what Wuzi said.

At this moment, she wished she could tear Tang Ping and the others to pieces.

If I have this ability...

"Elder Zhuanqin, if you want to show off your authority as the advisory elder, please find someone else!"

Tang Ping directly retorted.

Yes, the other party was in a bad mood due to the heavy losses in the village.

But this is not a reason for him to tolerate the other party.

He never tolerated it before, otherwise he wouldn't have been described as a traitor.

Now that we have such a huge advantage, it is even more impossible to endure.

"Koharu!"

Mizuto Menen first grabbed the other person, then looked at Shikaku.

Yes, they have all begun to doubt Tang Ping.

After all, there are many doubts!

The biggest suspicious point is that nothing happened to the Hyuga clan early or late, but something happened as soon as the other party arrived.

Add to that the fact that the airship returned early, and it's hard not to be suspicious.

But even if he had doubts, he wouldn't say them out loud.

Because there is no evidence!

Of course, there is no need for evidence when dealing with ordinary people. Just go with what they say.

But for a top expert like Tang Ping, who is also the leader of a powerful force, if he acts without any evidence, it would be a recipe for war.

At this time, the Konoha high-level officials really missed White Fang, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui, the Senju clan... and others.

As long as you use "for Konoha" as an excuse, people will really compromise!
Unlike Tang Ping, he is just like a hedgehog and totally ignores the overall situation.

"Master Jiraiya, Master Advisor, there's an incident at Konoha Prison!"

An Anbu suddenly appeared and reported in an anxious tone.

"What happened in Konoha Prison?"

Jiraiya and Mito Kado En looked at each other, neither of them expected anything to happen there.

Since the location is far away from other areas, it will not be affected by the fire, and there are no enemies attacking there, so there shouldn't be any problems anyway.

"The Root attacked the prison and rescued Danzo, and now his whereabouts are unknown!"

Anbu ninja reported.

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

After hearing the news, everyone fell silent.

Because they really didn't expect that Danzo, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would escape?

Normally he was very brave, and dared to do anything, not to mention assassinating the Hokage, but now he would run away? .

It's simply too much to complain about.

"I never expected that!", Dohei said with a gloating smile on his face: "A dignified Konoha elder would also run away, just like he abandoned the Second Hokage...Okay, I won't say more!"

Feeling the murderous gazes of the Hokage, he made a gesture to shut up.

You should know when to stop adding fuel to the fire and not push others into desperate situations.

However, what Tang Ping didn't know was that the boomerang would soon hit him.

They were busy until almost dawn, and then they found a new place to rest for a while.

The Root and Danzo appeared.
