----------
"Run away, it's the Red Devil!"
In a forest, the encounter between the squads that was supposed to break out turned into a one-sided pursuit.
There was only one person on the pursuit side, a young man with long red hair and delicate features. He was wearing an ordinary Konoha vest, but his figure was more slender and well-proportioned. The overall look was definitely charming and could not be ignored.
But even such a young man was the one that the enemy would abandon the mission and run away without hesitation when they met him.
The reason was not complicated, just because this person was called the Red Devil by the enemy on the battlefield. The full name was the Red Devil of Konoha. This name was naturally derogatory. The enemy called it a devil to describe him as more vicious.
But unfortunately, whether this name was derogatory or not, it could not stop his reputation on the battlefield, because this person was Ishigami Hara.
At this moment, it was February of the 40th year of Konoha. It was already spring, and there was no snow on the battlefield. But the spring breeze could not take away the chill that accompanied his arrival.
A four-member Kumogakure shinobi team, led by a Jōnin and three Chūnin members, could be considered an elite team anywhere. But even such an elite team did not have the courage to fight when facing Ishigami Hara, and fled in the forest with fear on their faces.
At this time, more than three months had passed since Ishigami Hara stepped into the battlefield again. Ishigami Hara was thirteen years old and had grown a little taller, but the overall change was not big.
In this battlefield, Ishigami Hara's reputation spread to every corner, and no one could ignore his existence.
Since Ishigami Hara defeated the Iwagakure and Kumogakure coalition on the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield has completely changed, and Konoha has taken the absolute initiative.
Because the tailed beasts of the two villages were sealed by Ishigami Hara alone, his ability is needless to say, almost becoming Iwagakure shinobi's nightmare.
Therefore, Iwagakure has completely retreated, and is now busy discussing with Konoha about the release of their Jinchūriki. The negotiation team has already gone to Konoha several times, but Konoha has not fully agreed.
Strictly speaking, Iwagakure has accepted the result of the defeat in the war, but before the two Jinchūriki return, they still insist that the war is not over. Because Iwagakure knows very well that if they admit defeat, it will be even more difficult to get the two Jinchūriki back.
Another point is that the truce conditions set by Konoha are very harsh, which Iwagakure cannot accept no matter what.
As for why this happened, it was only because Ishigami Hara asked Orochimaru to bring back a scroll, which contained some of his views on Iwagakure, the key point being the conditions for ending the war.
In other words, it was the conditions set by Ishigami Hara that Iwagakure shinobi couldn't accept, and the village leaders simply took this condition as the benchmark.
The reason why the village leaders made this choice was that Ishigami Hara's reputation could no longer be suppressed. It was really because Ishigami Hara's achievements here were too amazing. It can almost be said that he single-handedly suppressed Iwagakure and Kumogakure shinobi.
In this case, even if the village leaders had other ideas, they couldn't act on them during the war, because Ishigami Hara's role was too critical.
Therefore, Iwagakure could only choose to delay, and its personnel had already withdrawn from the Grass Country and retreated to the border of the Grass Country, just to make a show.
On the other hand, the situation on Kumogakure's side was much more complicated.
Kumogakure was a real fighting faction, and the martial arts environment in the village was strong, which resulted in their greater ambitions. Even if Eight Tails Gyūki is sealed now, they are unwilling to admit defeat to Konoha.
In this way, on the one hand, Kumogakure is also negotiating with Konoha to return their Jinchūriki, and on the other hand, they are constantly causing trouble for Konoha on the battlefield.
Since Konoha cannot be defeated in a direct war, it is better to go into the dark, not seeking victory, as long as it can cause trouble to Konoha.
The result is that Konoha has to continue to invest energy in this battlefield to deal with the troubles brought by Kumogakure.
As the deputy commander of the front line, Ishigami Hara naturally took on the burden of the commander-in-chief after Orochimaru returned to the village.
He is different from the previous commander-in-chief.
Because the pressure on the front line has been reduced, a lot of people have been transferred away, and there are only about a hundred people left here.
Ishigami Hara directly handed over the management of the camp to an Elite Jōnin of the Nara clan, and he went out from time to time to cause trouble for some Kumogakure ninjas.
It is not that Ishigami Hara is idle, but he is preparing materials for some of his experiments.
The material is very simple, just the enemy's blood. This kind of thing can only be collected on the battlefield.
As for what kind of experiment it is?
To put it bluntly, it is still related to blood inheritance.
Even on the battlefield, Ishigami Hara did not relax his research on blood inheritance.
Only he knew what blood inheritance really represented.
It was an extension of the power called Ōtsutsuki, which was related to the possibility of entering the starry sky, so naturally, there would be no slackness in this regard.
....
The result is obvious.
Ishigami Hara's name of the Red Devil became more and more famous, so much so that later, even a tough group like Kumogakure gave the ninja an order to abandon the mission directly if they encountered the Red Devil.
In the forest, a Kumogakure Jōnin fled frantically, even ignoring the safety of his three subordinates. At this time, he no longer cared about anything else and just wanted to escape from the pursuit of the Red Devil.
Just after crossing a thick log and before he could land, a voice came to his ear.
"Where do you want to go?"
The voice was very calm, like a stranger's question, but it was this voice that made the Kumogakure Jōnin feel cold all over.
Without any hesitation, the Kumogakure Jōnin swung his sword horizontally, rolling to the side.
The slash missed.
Kumogakure Jōnin felt this, and his heart tightened instantly.
"Are you looking for me?"
The voice appeared again, still in his ear.
In this horror movie-like atmosphere, the Kumogakure Jōnin's forehead was sweating, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. He saw a touch of red floating in his peripheral vision, and the Kumogakure Jōnin was slightly surprised.
What is that?
As soon as this thought came up, the Kumogakure Jōnin felt a slight chill on his neck.
Is this... my blood?
Kumogakure Jōnin couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then a delicate face appeared in his sight, smiling at him slightly.
"So it's you, little mouse."
Kumogakure Jōnin felt weak all over, as if all his strength had left him. He fell to his knees with a thud, and then collapsed to the ground with convulsions.
"It's really hard to find."
While speaking, Ishigami Hara had turned around, holding a small glass bottle in his hand, and the bottle was filled with bright red blood.
After covering the bottle cap, Ishigami Hara walked forward.
In the last remaining consciousness of the Kumogakure Jōnin, he could only see Ishigami Hara's back walking forward, getting smaller and darker, as his consciousness completely fell into darkness.
Ishigami Hara put the small glass bottle into his arms and nodded slightly: "There are still three more copies of Jōnin's blood, let's go look for it somewhere else."
As for the three Chūnin, Ishigami Hara didn't pay any attention to them, because they were not the goal of his trip.
