Chapter 351 Sarutobi Hiruzen's Ability

The Konoha high-ranking officials at the command center had gloomy faces.

Looking at the wantonly destroyed town, the Abyss Goblins, the polluted monsters, and the evil god's clones that were raging like a tide, they all remained silent.

The fighting ninjas and players all looked desperate.

The evil god's clones, nourished by the black rain, were ready to kill everyone in their way.

The black rain came from the evil god himself.
It is the high-level pollution of the [Flesh and Blood Abyss], and the dense polluted energy released is used to devour the entire ninja world.

Tsunade and Uzumaki Naruto,
These players who can rival or even surpass lord-level monsters have high-quality equipment and countless skill imprints and can defeat these abyss evil gods.

but,

There are not many players like this in the entire Konoha.

Even if the remaining players work together, they still have to suffer casualties to barely kill an abyss evil god.

Just like the fourth largest town in the country of soup that just fell,

Nearly 30% of the players' long-range shooting troops were killed or wounded in the past 100 days.
Only then did they destroy the [Abyss Brute] that was destroying the city.

"Hokage-sama, my Hyuga family has suffered heavy losses. After the battle is over, the village must give us an explanation!"

The Hyuga Hiashi at the command center had red eyes.

My heart bleeds as I watch my tribesmen being smashed to death by the Abyss Brutes.

Knowing that the Hyuga family's long-range shooting units had poor close combat capabilities, the village did not even equip them with close combat personnel.

He also separated the Hyuga family's melee and ranged forces and sent them to different battlefields.

Such behavior,

It is no different from the Ninja War when the Uchiha, who were good at Fire Style, were sent to fight against Kirigakure.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked calm and said, "Hiruzen, now is a critical moment when we are attacked by the evil god. All Konoha ninjas have the obligation to protect the village."

"Even if I am the Hokage, I will burn my body when the time comes."

"We are here to protect our companions, casualties are inevitable!"

These righteous words made Hinata Hiashi feel aggrieved.

He couldn't accept it even if dozens of ordinary clan members died, let alone the fact that all the dead were Hyuga players.

They are all elites who have been trained at the cost of countless family assets.

just,

There is indeed something wrong with what Sarutobi Hiruzen said. How can there be no casualties in war?

However, this casualty rate is somewhat higher than everyone expected.

Hinata Hiashi had a cold face and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, the Hyuga family will wait and see what the Hokage says."

The Hyuga family's tolerance has reached its limit.

Isn't it that when you were imprisoned by Orochimaru, the Hyuga family did not take the initiative to rescue you, but instead chose to join Konoha out of helplessness after being forced by Orochimaru?

As a result, they ended up in the same predicament as the Uchiha clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said righteously: "Of course, as the Hokage, I will never back down!"

He was also heartbroken.
After all, those who died were all Konoha ninjas, and precious players of the reincarnation game.

Although he intended to weaken the strength of the Hyuga family, he was not so cold-blooded as to sit back and watch the Hyuga family lose dozens of elites.

Just like what happened to Uchiha, there were some ninjas who didn't obey the orders and had no will of fire in their hearts and were unable to continue their duties as ninjas due to injuries.
Soft knife cuts meat.

Who could have thought that the evil god's clone would actually directly transform into the evil god of the abyss.

This was a situation he didn't want to see.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a serious tone: "Dispatch the mage players as soon as possible to help Hinata and rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible!"

He is also a player.

The level 9 Konoha family receives 5 game invitations per month, so as a Hokage, he naturally has priority in becoming a player.

With decades of keen combat experience, he watched the [Abyss Brute] charging forward.

Soon I discovered that
Although the opponent's defense is strong, its magic resistance is very weak. The lightning release of an ordinary jonin can only leave a faint mark on it.

It was a pure physical attack comparable to that of an elite player. "No, let me go. There shouldn't be a mage player stronger than me."

suddenly,

Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped the ninja who wanted to issue combat orders, took a deep breath, and stood up from his seat.

He turned his head and looked at Hyuga Hiashi, and said sincerely: "Hiashi, I am also very sad about the loss of the Hyuga family, because they are not only the ninjas of the Hyuga family, but also the ninjas of the village."

“I hope everyone can unite as one”

Before I finished speaking,

Sarutobi Hiruzen had already arranged the situation at the command center, changed into his combat uniform, and rushed to the front line.

The high-ranking ninja leaders in the command center all looked with strange expressions at the figure who was tumbling away quickly like a monkey.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen became a player,

His personality became more and more strange.

It's not that they are moody, but they often make completely opposite decisions.

He did try hard to maintain harmony in the village, but he did do some bad things.

Sometimes they feel the trust that comes from the third generation of Shinobi, but sometimes they feel a cold and vicious feeling similar to that of Danzo, who is full of conspiracy and calculation.

This tangled situation,
It left them all confused.

Just like Hyuga Hiashi now, no one expected Sarutobi Hiruzen to take the initiative to go to the front line.

According to his idea of ​​weakening the power of the Hyuga family, the best option now is to continue to maintain a righteous attitude and sit in the command center.

Do you want to ease the relationship?

Hinata Hiashi thought about it and finally shook his head.

Most of the high-ranking ninja clan members privately speculated that the Sandaime might have developed a mental illness due to the torture he suffered while being imprisoned by Orochimaru.

This has led to all kinds of strange situations now, and sometimes I even talk to myself.

Hinata Hiashi also agreed that he couldn't know the other person's thoughts, probably because the other person was a mental patient.

Sarutobi Hiruzen rushed all the way,
Looking at the devastation, the destroyed buildings and towns, his face was filled with sorrow.

"It's Hokage-sama!"

When the injured ninjas saw who was coming, they immediately burst into excited cheers.

The rift between the Sandaime and the Ninja Clan, as well as the weakening of the Ninja Clan through various policies, including the oppression of Uzumaki Naruto,
In fact, to some extent, it is preferential treatment for civilian ninjas.

Therefore,
Although there are a lot of negative news about Sarutobi Hiruzen, one of the top leaders of Konoha, in the eyes of ordinary ninjas, the Hokage is still the most prestigious person to protect the village.

The arrival of Sarutobi Hiruzen was like the backbone.
Steady their shaken and desperate hearts.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to everyone: "Don't be afraid, a mere evil god can't shake the foundation of Konoha!"

I also told myself,
No matter how he held on to the power of Hokage and refused to let go, he was despised for his cold-blooded slaughter of the Ninja Village and his various political tactics to maintain balance.
But it cannot change the fact that he wants to protect and rise up Konoha in his heart.

Konoha Village is his root!

call.

A magic circle suddenly appeared under Sarutobi Hiruzen's feet.
Complex and incomprehensible words and symbols twisted and entangled together, rushing out of the magic circle like chains.

Along with the chains, a bound black shadow also rushed out.

It is five meters tall, with dark green skin, a deformed and twisted body like a tree trunk, cracked lines, and covered with black magatama-like symbols.

The branches are baring their teeth and claws, and the orange-yellow eyes are opening on the tree trunks.

It looks like a tree creature from the magical world.

but,
But it is a shikigami transformed from a dead soul.

This is the core of Sarutobi Hiruzen's ability [Onmyoji Lv. 31], a magic profession that can collect fragments of dead souls, raise them, and manipulate Shikigami to fight.

The shikigami that appeared now,

Possessing the wood escape energy of the first generation, as well as a large number of yin-attributed Sharingan, it integrates the soul fragments of Danzo's death.
The ghost-type shikigami that finally gathered together.

[Dead Tree Man].
