Whether it's him, Tobirama, or Samana, they have tried their best to win just by interfering. With this level of firepower, they can't even break through the opponent's defense. Such a slow and suicidal battle can be called despair.

.

The others had serious expressions on their faces and had no objections. Just as Ghost Lantern Huayue said, they lacked the top ninja who could make the final decision.

Unfortunately, Naruto has already gone to Nagato to cooperate with the tailed beast and Kazuhime to fight for the ownership of the Rinnegan, so there is no hope.

The four first-generation Kage also have their own opponents to fight and cannot come to help. The situation can be said to be very unfavorable.

At this moment of being unable to do anything, Tobirama's suppressed aura suddenly dissipated, and he let out a sigh of relief. As if all his burdens had been lifted, a long-lost smile appeared on his face:

"finally come……"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, following Tobirama's gaze, and their bodies were all startled. Shiraishi and Ayane also sensed an unusual aura and turned their gaze somewhere.

I don't know when a figure appeared there, with long black hair flowing in the wind, wearing a black combat uniform underneath, and red laminated armor in the style of the Warring States Period on the outside, strolling in grandly.

Although there is only one person, it feels like a vast universe, making it impossible to ignore his presence.

And wherever he passed, the atmosphere in the air seemed unusually quiet, extremely quiet.

The other party's face was expressionless, and his whole body was shrouded in an ominous aura like a corpse.

He stopped, slowly raised his head, and looked at Bai Shi.

Shiraishi also looked at him, and their eyes met in the air at this moment.

Union Army Headquarters.

The room was so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was the ticking of the clock's second hand.

Shikaku and the others, who were tied up with special ropes, could only huddle in a corner of the room, watching the ninjas from the Kingdom of Oni and Kirigakure misbehaving here.

Not only were their movements blocked, their chakra was also suppressed, and a barrier was placed in the room to block all sounds.

Compared to the control in the corridor, it has gradually been transferred to the hands of Oni no Kuni and Kirigakure.

This situation couldn't be worse for the Alliance Army.

Except for a few people who were quite calm, with no emotions of tension or fear on their faces, and who just remained silent without saying a word, the rest of the people were not in the same situation. Their faces showed an extremely eager look, and they wanted to break through the blockade immediately.

, revealing the truth about Kirigakure’s betrayal and the conference room of the Alliance Army headquarters being invaded by the Kingdom of Demons.

However, Shikaku didn't think such a move was meaningful, and it was impossible to succeed.

Not to mention that their movement was blocked, even if there was no blockade, looking at Kakashi, Lin, and Obito, Shikaku knew that it was simply unrealistic to resist with force.

Kakashi's ability aside, Obito's strength was evident to all when Sasuke attacked Konoha.

One person was able to contain the Hokage and many ANBU jounin with ease, and Shikaku was sure that it was not Obito's full strength.

These three people here must be stronger than the five shadows combined.

Thinking of this, even Lu Jiu couldn't help but start to despair.

With these three people here, there is no chance for them to take advantage of it.

"Kakashi, I surrender, I surrender."

After a long time, Lu Jiu suddenly spoke, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the room and attracting most people's attention.

Except for Oni no Kuni and Kirigakure ninjas who maintained the perception barrier, everyone else was attracted by Shikaku's words.

Shikaku's expression was very sincere. Judging from his expression alone, it was convincing that he was sincerely surrendering and abandoning the Alliance Army whose headquarters was about to collapse.

Kakashi also looked at Shikaku and raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect Shikaku to say this suddenly.

"I said, I have no intention of killing you, but please do your duty before the war is over."

These people are the elites of each village and hold important positions. Controlling them is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the Alliance Army. Moreover, if the Kingdom of Ghosts is really defeated, these people can also bring the Kingdom of Ghosts back to the negotiating table.

The important price tag for renegotiation cannot allow for any surprises.

"No, I am really ready to surrender. The defeat of the Alliance Army is already a matter of time. Even if there is a victory in the Land of Rain, it will be meaningless. Without the support of the middle and lower-class ninjas, the Alliance Army has ceased to exist in name only."

Lu Jiu smiled bitterly and told this cruel fact.

The Five Kage is the brain, but the ninja underneath it is the trunk and limbs, the heart, and the blood. Without these people, what is the meaning of the Five Kage's victory? How much vitality can the Alliance Army retain in the coming war?

What? This guess, just imagining it, made Shikaku shudder. Kakashi squinted his eyes and stared at Shikaku without saying anything, as if he was really considering it seriously.

Judging from his eyes, Shikaku was telling the truth.

But for jounin like them, telling lies with open eyes is already a basic skill, not to mention that the other party is the jounin squad leader of Konoha, lying is as easy as eating and drinking.

Seeing Kakashi's distrust, Shikaku continued to sigh: "I have been running around for the village these years, but in the end

It has accomplished nothing and failed the family's expectations... So, in the end, I want to do something practical for the family. Kakashi, you know, with my help, you can take down the Alliance Army headquarters at the minimum cost.

Tens of thousands of ninjas."

Shikaku looked at Kakashi with sincere eyes.

Oni no Kuni and Kirigakure controlled the headquarters conference room and mastered the circulation of Alliance Army information, but they did not penetrate into each unit. If the subsequent actions continue to be abnormal, then the squadron commanders of each unit, including the commander, will also

People who are not stupid will realize the problems at the headquarters sooner or later.

At that time, the Alliance forces who have reacted will launch a strong counterattack, which will put a huge burden on Oni Country and Kirigakure.

And if he, a senior member of the staff department, joins, these accidents can be resolved.

The tied-up Alliance ninjas around him stared at Shikaku with complex and angry eyes.

They didn't know whether Shikaku's words were sincere or if he was speaking out of spite, but if they were true, the Alliance Army would definitely suffer a devastating blow.

Kirigakure's betrayal has already made them furious. If Shikakuya betrays him at this time, it will be even worse for the alliance.

"Shikaku, shut up. As a Konoha ninja, you shouldn't kneel to the enemy even if you die!"

Haiyi on the side yelled loudly, showing an aura of looking forward to death.

"You are wrong, Haiyi. I am thinking about all of us. The situation is now very clear. The Alliance Army has failed. It is that simple. Not only me, you, but also Ding Zuo who is receiving treatment at the headquarters.

Life and death are in the hands of others. Since you have failed, you must admit it and fight for the last chance of survival for Konoha within limited actions... This is what Konoha ninjas should do.

Even if you do it to this extent, you have to pay the price of betraying Konoha."

Shikaku rejected Haiichi's extreme idea and adopted roundabout tactics to save Konoha.

Use your own betrayal in exchange for Konoha's last glimmer of hope.

At this time, Kakashi clapped his hands and applauded, and said with a smile: "It's a very good double act, and the rhetoric is also very exciting. If you really think so, Shikaku, then I don't mind letting my people take a look at your true heart.

What do you think? Don’t forget, the ninjas on my side also know the secret arts of the Yamanaka clan.”

As he said that, a Jonin from the Kingdom of Ghosts wearing silver-white chakra armor stood up behind him.

Shikaku's expression remained unchanged as he replied: "Now is the time to race against time. If you probe the memory, it will consume too much energy and time, and you may miss the opportunity. Besides, there is no need. If I betray you, with your strength, you can do it at any time.

You can take off my head."

"Yeah?"

Kakashi was unmoved.

"That's right. Kakashi, you know, I am a smart person, and smart people will not die on the same road. Without my help, so many Alliance ninjas, even if Kirigakure is standing by you

There are as many as 70,000 to 80,000 remaining ninjas on that side, and it is impossible to wipe out so many people with your military strength." Shikaku spoke profoundly, thinking from the standpoint of the Kingdom of Demons.

"As far as I know, there are many smart people who like to hang from a tree. Shikaku, I will not be fooled...and you have misjudged the Kingdom of Demons."

Kakashi's voice was calm, as if he had everything under control.

"What?"

Shikaku was stunned.

His first reaction was that it was impossible. He should have considered any additional factors before making that proposal.

"Shikaku, you know nothing about the power of the alliance between Oni no Kuni and Kirigakure. When that man took action, we were already invincible. You who were forced to join the war, even the real outcome of this war

I can’t even figure out their nature. Let’s put it this way, alliance forces, ninjas…how many people are there?”

Kakashi gave Shikaku a meaningful look and sighed quietly.

"What's the meaning?"

Feeling that there was something in Kakashi's words, Shikaku suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Kakashi didn't look at him, but at the ghost controlling the perception barrier.

The country's jounin, and Kirigakure's Ao.

"Let the other side take action. The alliance has been torn. Let this era of ninjas come to an end."

"yes!"
