In the dim tree hole, the light is very dark, and the place where you can see clearly is very narrow. A metal device similar to a white spire is being laid in the tree hole. The antenna on the spire spreads a kind of naked eye to the surroundings.

Invisible signals, and occasionally a faint hoarse sound, sound from the device, indicating that the signal tower is operating normally.

"No, Xiao Hei, we can't stop you from the front."

A Bai Jue hurriedly emerged from the ground and came to the front of Black Jue, his face sweating profusely.

Konoha's attack was much more ferocious than expected. The White Zetsu brought in almost collapsed at the first touch, and there was no way to effectively resist it.

Therefore, he could only come to Hei Jue for advice.

Otherwise, if this continues, the signal towers placed in the great forests of the Country of Fire will be destroyed one by one by the Konoha ninja sooner or later. He does not believe that Konoha will not have such power.

Once this group of Konoha ninjas unite, they can burst out with power that destroys everything. "How could it be so fast?"

Hei Jue was also surprised and seemed to find it hard to believe this result.

Bai Zetsu said helplessly: "This kind of thing is a bit strange. It has only been about an hour since Payne attacked Konoha, and they have directly figured out Payne's mechanism. They also know that those who went there are puppets and need signal remote control.

"

After hearing this, Black Zetsu thought thoughtfully. Thinking of Konoha's abnormal patrol arrangements from the beginning, a guess suddenly came to his mind.

However, he now had no concrete evidence to prove that his guess was correct, so he looked at Bai Zetsu and asked, "Is there any new instruction from Nagato-sama?"

Now it is too late to mobilize the White Jue army to protect the signal tower.

Moreover, just in case, the White Zetsu army has been mobilized to various places in the Kingdom of Rain. Without Nagato's order, it is very difficult to mobilize them.

"Emergency contact has been made over there, but Nagato-sama is in the Kingdom of Water and cannot split the troops. After all, none of us expected that Konoha would discover Pain's secret so quickly."

"What if they knew it from the beginning?"

"That's impossible. That Sannin didn't send out the slightest message."

"We did seal off Jiraiya's death, but what about the Kingdom of Demons? Jiraiya was a chess piece they sent into Amegakure to test Lord Nagato. If they had set up Jiraiya's death from the beginning

script, and then send the information they know to Konoha reasonably at the right time, so that Konoha can get some key information in advance, successfully induce it, and make it more difficult for us to capture the Jinchuuriki. This kind of thing may also happen.

Bar."

Black Jue stared at Bai Jue with a faint look in his eyes and said.

Bai Jue's face was stunned, obviously he didn't expect this. "This"

"There has been no news from Pain that the Jinchuuriki has been captured. According to initial speculation, the battle should be resolved within half an hour."

After all, what Pain wants to do is not to fight against the entire Konoha, but to evacuate the people and capture the Jinchuriki as quickly as possible when their forces are most dispersed. There is no need to fight against the entire Konoha.

In any case, it would be difficult for the ninjas staying in Konoha to win with just six Pains.

Therefore, in this operation, Tiandao served as the main offensive force, and the other five were used to attract firepower, create chaos in various parts of Konoha, and gain time and space for Tiandao to capture the jinchūriki.

However, the premise of all this is to catch Konoha off guard so that it can be successfully completed.

If Konoha gets any key information in advance, it will undoubtedly completely disrupt their plan and lead to the failure of the capture of the Jinchuuriki.

"In that case, the country of ghosts"

"Intelligence is a very important thing. The Demon Country, which has stronger information channels than us, can guess more than 90% of its opponents' action plans based on the existing intelligence. This is one of the most terrifying things about them.

one."

Hei Jue said this, his tone full of solemnity. "Then what should we do now?"

"How many signal towers are left?

"Hei never answered the rhetorical question.

"Even Xiao Hei, there are only three left on your side, and the signal towers in the rest of the area are basically cut off. Moreover, Konoha's sensory ninjas seem to be using secret techniques to interfere with our chakra signals."

Bai Jue said that the current situation is quite serious.

They use chakra signals to control Pain's actions, which means that chakra perception needs to be diffused, and Konoha, with its mature sensory ninjutsu system, can naturally take corresponding actions immediately to destroy their chakra transmission.

Ninja villages under the rule of great powers are not only powerful in military affairs, but they also have a complete set of operating mechanisms that can respond to various situations quickly and effectively.

In other words, if they don't have the power to absolutely crush them, no matter how strong the Penns are, they can only be dragged down abruptly.

"As expected, only 70% of the power that Heavenly Dao can exert is left. If the signal tower here is also destroyed,

Hei Jue frowned tightly.

Finally, he thought of something and shook his head.

"We can only look at the way of heaven. I hope the battle can end soon." O

"Hey, you guys are too late."

Shikamaru had some objections to the root's slow movement.

You must know that the enemy has attacked the hinterland of Konoha and even wiped the center of Konoha from the map. Not to mention the personal injuries, the economic losses alone are more than ten times more severe than when Sasuke caused trouble in Konoha two months ago.

.

"Sorry, we need to make a lot of preparations here. Danzo-sama's safety must come first." Regarding Shikamaru's objection, Aburame Takegen was not very understanding.

However, he also knew that Shikamaru's thoughts were not entirely about his roots. The other half was on Konoha. Compared to them, who were centered around Danzo, they would move slowly on such matters, and there would inevitably be criticism.

.

Even if we have to rely on Shikamaru in the future to ease relations with the other factions in the village, it is definitely not now.

In the final analysis, this person is just a bridge, connecting the roots, Konoha, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. But this bridge is very important and cannot be lost at the moment.

This is Aburame’s perspective.

"Currently, the number of ninjas lost in the village has reached 1,500. The total number of minor injuries and serious injuries is almost the same. The center of the village has been completely flattened. To be honest, this casualty situation is too terrible."

Based on the information he obtained, Shikamaru explained to Aburame. "Is it so serious?"

Aburame Togen was also shocked by Shikamaru's report, and the muscles on her face were a little stiff.

Shikamaru sighed, but instead handed out a document and placed it in front of Tirune.

Take the root and take it over.

"This is the ability information obtained by frontline ninjas after fighting with the enemy."

Hearing Shikamaru's explanation, Togen nodded, and scanned through it in the shortest possible time, keeping this information in mind. Then, he passed the information to the Nenin ninja behind, so that they could digest the information as quickly as possible.

While digesting this information, Shikamaru also took Tirane and others into action, exchanging information with each other while rushing to the front line.

"When I was investigating the information in the Roots, I found that when you contacted the Akatsuki in the past, apart from communicating with the ninja who called himself Madara, the only other person left was Orochimaru. Is there no more information about their leader?"

Shikamaru couldn't help but ask. Takegen shook his head.

"No, if there is, we won't hide it here. After all, it is related to the safety of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. We know the importance of this. As for 'Akatsuki', we have just learned the name of this organization.

, Prior to this, there was no association with the Rain Country organization during the Third Ninja War."

After all, no one thought that Akatsuki, who was wiped out in the Third Ninja War, would now be the criminal organization that secretly seeks tailed beasts from all over the world, causing many people a headache.

According to the root records, that organization had already been wiped out in the war.

"But in this way, it can be explained clearly, because

Why would they use Amegakure as their organizational headquarters to carry out activities? Moreover, in the Rain Country's independence war, they also obtained the support of the Demon Country. There should have been a deep cooperative relationship between the two of them in the past. But in the

After the scale of Akatsuki's operation expanded, the two began to part ways, ending the honeymoon period."

Take root and analyze the information you know.

After all, the Kingdom of Oni once attacked the Akatsuki organization during Operation One-Tail.

Uchiha Sasuke even eliminated Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi of the Akatsuki organization, severely damaging Akatsuki's core power. Behind these, there is the shadow of the Kingdom of Demons.

Even when Sasuke Uchiha attacked Konoha, it was controlled by the Kingdom of Demons behind the scenes.

If it weren't for the secret interference from the Kingdom of Ghosts, they would have arrested Sasuke more than two months ago, obtained the new kaleidoscope, and used it as research material on the operating table.

When I think about this, I can't help but feel sorry for myself.

"The Kingdom of Ghosts? No good thing can happen without them. Are they planning to cast everyone under their shadow?"

Shikamaru said something that was either mocking or admiring.

The closer he got to the core of the village, the more Shikamaru was able to understand the horror of this country and their pervasive spies.

They used these spies to lay a huge net in the ninja world in an attempt to cover all countries. Konoha, in particular, was the area most severely infiltrated by the Kingdom of Demons.

So far, Konoha dare not say that there are no spies from the Kingdom of Demons in the village. In the secret, these spies working for the Kingdom of Demons are still staring at Konoha. As soon as there is any important news, these things will be

As quickly as possible, he was transported to the Kingdom of Ghosts.

"With their intelligence superiority, they are just following the trend to further expand their country's advantage." Tune said calmly.

Information is an extremely important area for Ninja Village.

Whoever masters these will have the advantage of taking the initiative and taking the initiative, and can reasonably predict the opponent's next specific actions.

It's just that it's very rare for the Kingdom of Ghosts to lay out such a large information network. This not only means that the Kingdom of Ghosts has a strong military, but the funds involved behind it are also astronomical.

"Let's get over the current difficulty first. I don't know what's going on with Naruto." Shikamaru looked forward.
