The strong wind blew through the entire forest, pulling Huo Dun forward and sweeping forward.
Fugaku exhaled the remaining smoke in his mouth and couldn't help but gasp slightly.
The number of enemies was far greater than expected. After killing one, new Iwa nins rushed forward quickly, without giving him a chance to rest.
In other words, there are too few companions around me, and in comparison, it feels like the enemies are endless.
The area of this forest is too vast. Looking from a distance, Fugaku can see that the field of vision is filled with countless rock ninjas, and there are still many more that cannot be seen.
Suddenly a voice sounded in my mind.
"Fugaku, be careful. There is a team of several hundred Iwa ninjas heading towards your location. Don't let the enemy open a gap."
This is Shikaku warning him.
Fugaku couldn't help but look stern when he heard this.
Various ninjutsus were colliding with each other on the battlefield, shurikens and flying rocks were flying, explosions were heard from time to time, and people were constantly dying.
Soon Fugaku saw the Iwa Ninja team Shikaku mentioned.
He flew back and retreated, and several ninjas of his own clan joined him.
"fire!"
Fugaku gave a low shout, and everyone around him immediately jumped up in all directions, making tiger seals with each other, and forming seals to perform spells at the same time.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
Several giant fireballs crashed down from high in the sky, blocking out the sun. The blazing high temperature caused the surrounding air to distort and deform. The heat wave hit their faces. The group of rock ninjas below had just arrived here when they encountered the monstrous fire. Unable to escape, one after another perished in the sea of fire.
But soon, many rock ninjas used magic to resist, creating huge earth walls or huge water escapes.
The water and fire collided, turning into rich white water vapor that obscured the view.
The Uchiha people did not panic at all in the mist. They held kunai or short swords and opened their red eyes and began to harvest the lives of their enemies.
"A group of rock ninjas have broken through the defense line in the west. We will lead a team to resist them tomorrow."
"Zuo Zhen, Tangdong, Zi, there is an explosive ninja 30 meters north of you, go and deal with him."
"Zhiwei, be careful underground! There are enemies sneaking in from the underground!"
"Genma, lead the team to support Fugaku."
Behind the Konoha troops, Shikaku sat next to Haiichi, concentrating on directing the battlefield.
The chakra directions of all enemies and companions in the forest are all in the mind under the secret technique of the Yamanaka family.
On the ground in front of him, he used tree branches to draw many simple orientation maps, some of which had half of them erased.
This battle was far more difficult than he thought. There were too many enemies. Both sides had suffered numerous casualties by this point in the battle, but Iwa Ninja troops were still pouring into the forest in a steady stream.
He has tried his best to avoid casualties on his own personnel and allocate every battlefield reasonably.
But the disparity in military strength cannot be made up by doing these things. These Iwa ninjas are not just a mob, they are elites who have experienced the baptism of war. It is difficult for Konoha ninjas to defeat four hands with two fists.
"Hokage-sama! You went too deep!"
"Minato, the Hokage-sama is not far from you. Go south to meet him."
Shikaku's eyes were bloodshot, which was caused by a long period of high mental stress. Haiichi beside him also started to have a nosebleed.
The other members of the sensory class also showed signs of exhaustion.
Lu Jiu wanted to be concerned, but looking at Hai Yi gritting his teeth and persisting, as well as the chaotic battlefield now.
"Fugaku, another team of 200 people is heading towards your position! We can't let the front be opened."
They were at the very back of the battlefield and could hear the sounds of fierce ninja fighting from afar.
Some Iwa ninja bypassed the frontal battlefield and chose to attack from both sides.
Shikaku glanced at the alarm clock in his hand. More than an hour had passed. Konoha suffered heavy casualties. Although the Iwa ninja suffered greater damage, the enemy's strength far exceeded them.
"Hokage-sama, please go back..."
"Fugaku! A large enemy force is coming! One thousand... no! Two thousand people!"
"Lord Hokage, retreat south quickly!"
"Nizu, lead the team to support Fugaku!"
"Ding Zuo! Ding Zuo! You go too!"
Frontal battlefield.
Fugaku gathered together with the remnants of his men, and including his own clansmen, there were only a few hundred people.
How to resist more than two thousand rock ninjas?
He felt that most of the chakra in his body had been used up, and he was exhausted both physically and mentally.
The enemy's offensive came quickly. The forest in the distance seemed to have burst its banks, and a steady stream of Iwa ninjas rushed towards them.
Fugaku gritted his teeth and ordered: "Inari, Yashiro, retreat!"
He chose to avoid the sharp edge, and his own ninjas retreated one after another. However, how could the Iwa ninja who had just arrived let them get their wish.
Shurikens and flying rocks all over the sky came like a violent storm, and the ground under their feet also became muddy under the ninjutsu, and trees around them collapsed from time to time.
Shikaku's impatient voice sounded in Fugaku's mind again.
"Fugaku, we can't withdraw. If you withdraw, we will be finished as soon as the frontal gap is opened!"
These words put Fugaku in a dilemma. He looked back out of the corner of his eye, and saw countless Iwa ninjas in a dark mass, who were chasing after him at a fast speed.
"Captain, be careful!"
Fugaku was suddenly dragged away by a force, but it was Yashiro Uchiha who rescued him from the rock spikes protruding from below.
However, during this short delay, countless Iwa Ninja rushed forward instantly. Our companions resisted to the death, but there were helpless enemies, and soon someone fell down.
"Fire Release·Dragon Fire Technique!"
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
Fugaku felt that his spirit was a little dazed, and red flames filled his field of vision. The high temperature even made him feel dizzy after being stressed out by successive life-and-death battles. Fortunately, it was a technique cast by the clansmen, and they protected Fugaku. Behind him, he resisted the Iwa Ninja's offensive.
"Captain, are you okay?" Yashiro asked eagerly.
Fugaku gasped for air, and a ringing in his ears made his companion's calls somewhat vague.
"Fire Release·Dust Hide!"
The Uchiha tribe spit out a large plume of gray smoke, which instantly spread over the place, obscuring everyone's sight.
The dust is unbearably hot, and the particles floating in the air are extremely painful when they touch your skin.
The Iwa Ninjas were temporarily blocked by this, but the leader of the Iwa Ninja shouted: "Don't let them escape! They are Uchiha people!"
Swish, swish, swish!
As his words fell, hundreds of figures rushed into the smoke and dust without fear of death.
A strong wind blew from behind the Iwa Ninja, trying to blow away the gray smoke, but under this wind, the Iwa Ninja who was surrounded by the gray smoke was even more painful and could not open his eyes.
Fortunately, the smoke and dust were finally blown away by the strong wind, and the leader Iwa Ninja rushed forward first to find out where Fugaku was.
But before he took a few steps forward, he suddenly saw a huge black shadow shaking behind the smoke that was about to disperse.
What is it, a member of the Akimichi clan...
This thought flashed through the mind of this rock ninja, and he felt a black shadow in front of his eyes directly piercing his abdomen!
His eyes widened and he froze to look down. It was a huge curved blade with black chakra visible to the naked eye dancing on it, like a black flame!
The black shadow in the smoke lit up with a pair of glowing eyes, and then, without waiting for the reaction of the rock ninjas, countless jet-black chakra magatama flew out from the gray smoke, spinning at high speed and instantly violently exploding when it touched any object.
"what?!"
"Ah! Ah!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Earth Escape——"
The rock ninjas screamed in agony and fled in all directions. Some tried to use magic to resist, but ordinary earth escape was unable to block the magatama's explosive power.
This blow directly killed more than a hundred Iwa-nin on the spot.
The smoke finally dissipated, and Fugaku had temporarily retreated to another place. He was supported by Yashiro beside him, wiping away the blood and tears from his eyes with one hand, and looked at the Iwa nin who did not dare to pursue him out of fear, but found that his vision was somewhat blurred. Lake, there are many afterimages of things in front of me.
"team leader?"
"It's okay." Fugaku said in a rough dress.
Sarutobi finally came back at this time. He charged into the enemy formation with one stick and one stick, showing no fear in the face of numerous enemies. Many Iwa ninjas were killed under him before they could go even one turn.
His arrival relieved Fugaku and the others from great pressure.
A combat power like Naruto's is extremely effective on the battlefield and has the ability to turn the tide of the battle.
That's why Minato went alone to disrupt the Iwa Ninja's camp. This is one of the reasons why Iwa Ninja's troops always attack in batches.
"Fugaku, that move you just made was very useful, can you use it again?"
Shikaku's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
Fugaku smiled bitterly and responded in his mind: "How about you try it?"
He shook his head and looked forward intently, but there were still many double images in his sight.
Shikaku could only respond: "Go and assist Hokage-sama!"
Hinata Hiashi and Akimichi Choza each arrived with people, but the total number of people was less than 100.
The battle is still going on, death has not yet ended, the enemy is still advancing, but they cannot retreat.
The smell of blood was a bit pungent, and many of the corpses on the ground were probably familiar people.
The sound of fierce fighting in the distance never stopped. There were screams and roars, from the enemy and from the companions.
Fugaku took a deep breath and shouted to the people beside him: "Gentlemen, are you ready to die in battle?"
Everyone responded: "Fight to the death and you will not lose!"
