In the distance.
Watching Shion rush to the battlefield like a comet, all parties on the battlefield fell into a strange confusion.
Whether the Ninja Village Alliance side, or Nagato's Akatsuki organization, in their impression, the powerhouses ranked in the Ninja World had basically appeared one after another. So they really couldn't figure out the identity of this mysterious person who appeared strongly.
Chino, hiding in a deep ditch, poked her head out, while looking into the distance, she muttered in a low voice: "That person seems to have gone to 'B's side. Ryuzetsu, is he an enemy?"
"Don't know!" Shaking her head, Ryuzetsu asked curiously: "Can you see his appearance clearly?"
Chino looked carefully: "Seems also wearing a hooded red cloud cloak!"
Different from Ryuzetsu, Chino was after all a pupil technique Kekkei Genkai ninja, insight was much better than Ryuzetsu. So although due to distance, she couldn't see clearly, she barely saw the hooded red cloud cloak on Shion.
At this time, Sasuke aside said: "No need to guess blindly, she is 'X', also one of us!"
Last time in Demon Slayer World crusade against Ubuyashiki Ryuhei, both Sasuke and Shion participated, so Sasuke knew the existence of 'X'.
Chino said: "She is also in our group?"
Ryuzetsu looked delighted: "That's great!"
From far away, Ryuzetsu could feel that powerful chakra on 'X', so having such a strong reinforcement arrive, she was obviously very happy.
Sasuke looked gloomy.
After failing to sneak attack Nagato just now, if not for Ryuzetsu and Chino taking action to save him, he was afraid he would have been slapped to death like a bug by the rampaging Ten-Tails long ago.
Precisely because of this, he realized the strength gap between himself and other members.
Watching other partners join hands to confront the Ten-Tails, while he could only hide in such an inconspicuous deep ditch, the bitterness in his heart was unspeakable.
On the other side.
The Five Kage who gradually recovered, hid in a place protected by Iwagakure Jonin Dodai using 'Lava Release' rubber wall, watching the battle in the distance.
When seeing Shion rushing to the battlefield like a comet, the Five Kage were stunned simultaneously.
Because the chakra overflowing from Shion at this time was faintly stronger than Nagato and 'A', the two Akatsuki leaders.
Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei frowned: "Another Akatsuki person?"
Third Tsuchikage Onoki squinted: "Seems to be 'A's subordinate."
Fifth Kazekage Pakura found it somewhat hard to accept: "How is it possible! 'A's group still has such a strong guy?"
'B', 'C', 'D', 'F', 'G', 'I', these few were already outrageously strong.
Now another one came, and this mysterious person seemed to be even stronger than 'B'. This was somewhat confusing.
One must know in the Ninja World, generally ninjas with Jonin strength couldn't be nameless people. So where exactly did so many Kage-level, or even Super Kage-level powerhouses come from, became the biggest question in her, and even the Five Kage's hearts.
Tsunade said: "Looking at it now, the internal strife between 'B' and 'D' should be fake, should be directed by 'A' single-handedly!"
Jiraiya asked: "Purpose?"
Tsunade shook her head, answering in an uncertain tone: "Maybe to paralyze us, also possible to paralyze Nagato."
Back then the Ninja Village Alliance decided to launch the Ninja World War, besides the confidential intelligence of Akatsuki sent by Itachi, there was also the consideration of 'A's Akatsuki group falling into internal strife.
Third Tsuchikage said: "Clearly already possessing such powerful strength, yet still so restrained. Who exactly is 'A'? What is his ultimate goal?"
Tsuchikage's question was also everyone's question.
Tsunade opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but finally chose silence.
Regarding 'A's identity, she already had vague speculations.
Now what could be confirmed was Sasuke was Akatsuki 'E', Ryuzetsu and Chino were Akatsuki 'J' and 'K' respectively.
And because of the high similarity of 'Susanoo', Tsunade also guessed Akatsuki 'I's identity pretty closely.
After all, not long ago when defending against Orochimaru's attack on the village, Mumei of Konoha Military Police Force activated 'Susanoo', and the scene at that time had been recorded by the Intelligence Division.
Tsunade as Hokage had seen this surveillance footage. From the color and details of 'Susanoo', she felt Akatsuki 'I' was extremely likely that mysterious Mangekyo Uchiha named 'Mumei' in Konoha Military Police Force.
Thinking of Sasuke again, Mumei also revolved around one person, so 'A's identity was also on the verge of being revealed.
"Could it be him?"
Thinking that 'A' who terrified the entire Ninja World was someone familiar to her, Tsunade was somewhat incredulous.
Swish...
At this time, a ninja from the Intelligence Division rushed to the Five Kage, reporting: "Personnel evacuation is more than half!"
Terumi Mei asked: "How many ninjas are still left on the battlefield now?"
The Intelligence Division ninja showed a difficult look on his face, paused before answering: "Sorry, due to the scene being too chaotic, we cannot count accurate numbers."
If it were normal times, just relying on remote sensing of the Sensory Squad, they could accurately count ninjas left on the battlefield.
However, the current battlefield was full of violent chakra storms everywhere. Sensory ninjutsu had completely failed in this area, so wanting to accurately count the number of personnel left on the battlefield was almost impossible.
Tsunade said: "Contact everyone who can be contacted, let everyone evacuate as soon as possible. This is no longer something ordinary ninjas can interfere in!"
"Yes!"
The Intelligence Division ninja responded, then disappeared from the spot.
Pakura asked: "What do we do now? Leave or stay?"
Fourth Raikage said angrily: "You go if you want! I won't leave without rescuing Killer Bee!"
Steady and experienced as Third Tsuchikage, he also struggled at this moment.
Tsunade said: "We are the Five Kage. Even if we can't influence whose hands the Ten-Tails eventually falls into, at least we should know the ownership of the Ten-Tails!"
Terumi Mei agreed: "Yeah, others can retreat, but we can't!"
Third Tsuchikage exhaled: "Then let us old guys of the old era witness the curtain fall of this battle!"
Land of Hot Water.
The fake 'Itachi Uchiha' was traversing through the forest.
Over these few weeks, due to constantly chasing Orochimaru, he had become familiar with the terrain of this area, so his speed was very fast.
Just then, he suddenly stopped.
Subsequently, he leaped onto the canopy of a large tree, looking towards the direction of the Land of Rain from afar, a weird doubt appearing on his indifferent face...
