After a long and tiring journey, even ninjas need a rest.
A large group of shirtless strong men gathered together in small groups to rest on the spot. Their bodies were all covered with tattoos that looked very shocking. They all had kind faces, cold eyes, and shouted and laughed boldly.
This is the Kingdom of Fields. If you continue forward, you will enter the Kingdom of Fire.
As a necessary place, most areas of Tian Country are basins with many mountains and lakes.
The cultivated terraces on the mountain are arranged at equal intervals, with houses sparsely dotted among them, creating a beautiful pastoral scene.
The farmers on the mountain looked down the mountain with their hoes on their shoulders.
Around a large and wide lake, densely packed black dots of human figures piled up in the woods beside the lake.
The farmers watched this scene, fearing that the ninjas at the bottom of the mountain would suddenly rush up the mountain, with worried and alert expressions on their faces.
There is no Ninja Village in Tian Country, and even if there was a Ninja Village, it would not be able to say a single word of disapproval to Kumo Gakure's arrogant behavior of sneaking in without warning.
I don't know how long it took before the big men from Yunyin at the foot of the mountain took action.
There was a tight queue running across the lake. Even though they knew that ninjas had many wonderful abilities, the farmers couldn't help but marvel at such a spectacular sight.
Running through water.
Between the two points, the straight line is the shortest. After crossing this lake, you can follow the river and enter the Kingdom of Fire.
As for the detour, the mountain road is more difficult to walk. Generally speaking, treading water is easier than climbing a mountain.
After all, it is flat ground.
Once the number of people exceeds 10,000, it becomes boundless. Viewed from the mountain, Kumogakure's ninjas are so densely packed that they almost cover the lake, walking across the water in an orderly manner.
Above the lake, flying dragonflies watched this scene.
The farmers on the mountain looked at this scene and could hardly breathe. They instinctively felt inexplicable shock and their own powerlessness.
They have never seen wild animals migrating on the African savannah.
The massive Kumogakure ninja team treaded water on the lake. Rows of water splashed on the lake below their feet. With the deafening sound of footsteps, the team gradually approached the center of the lake.
The entire lake is nearly five kilometers long, making it easy for a ninja to make a round trip.
The lake is surrounded by mountains in the basin, and the river at the outlet is sandwiched between the two mountains, forming a mountain gorge.
The long and narrow gorge is surrounded by steep forest cliffs on both sides, and the long and deep channel is nearly a kilometer apart on both sides, making it a natural death trap.
The dark clouds are like giant curtains, covering the sky. The vegetation grows luxuriantly in the mountains and forests. Bundles of golden light from the sun penetrate the clouds, like sharp swords thrust diagonally across the mirror-flat, waveless lake. The entire lake is filled with ripples and is brilliant.
Like gold.
"Look, what is that!"
The farmers on the mountain exclaimed in shock.
On the calm lake, strange waves appeared in the distance.
Under the water, something seemed to be swimming.
It looks like a fish.
"Is there such a big fish in the lake?" The farmer couldn't help but wonder.
The advancing Kumogakure ninjas had no idea that even if there was a big fish, what harm could it do to the ninjas.
Under the golden water, huge creatures were swinging their long tails, concentrating and holding their breath, ready to go.
In the distant mountain forest, one flying insect after another rested quietly on the branches, grass, leaves and flowers, standing still, waiting for the opportunity.
Kumogakure's ninjas are marching in an orderly manner, but at this moment, a long-planned murder is underway, just like on the African savannah, lions, leopards, cheetahs, crocodiles, vultures, and hyenas quietly watch the arrival of their prey.
Waiting for the carnival to begin.
The murderer is close at hand.
As Yunyin was marching, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared on the lake beneath his feet, and a numbing sensation spread all over his body in an instant.
Who has nothing to do to discharge electricity?
A ninja looked down at the electric arc leaping out of the lake under his feet, and was about to scold him with dissatisfaction. The next second, the water surface suddenly broke open, and in the standing water splash, a ferocious bloody mouth opened, surrounding him in front and behind, and instantly
The lightning closed and the moment he screamed, the running ninja was dragged underwater and disappeared.
What just happened?
A ninja behind him looked blankly at the empty space in front of him. The next second, the water suddenly burst under his feet, and a bloody mouth opened and suddenly closed, and the whole person was dragged under the water in an instant.
The ninjas nearby noticed something strange and stopped suddenly.
Under the water, scarlet blood smeared under the water. Deep under the water, it seemed that some kind of terrifying monster was lurking.
"Enemy attack!!!"
“There’s something in the water!!!”
The moment he finished speaking, a bloody mouth opened around him.
The shouting ninja looked at the water splashing around him and his pupils shrank sharply.
The ferocious mouth is densely covered with sharp teeth.
No!
Just when I was about to jump up, the thunder and lightning jumping on the lake paralyzed my whole body, and my movements were sluggish for only a second or two.
And this moment is the difference between life and death.
The bloody mouth was suddenly closed and bitten together, like a hunter's trap. He swallowed the ninja in one bite. The two rows of sharp teeth were tightly interlocked and pierced deeply into the flesh. Neat and ferocious blood holes were printed, and the strong bite was
Under the force, the bones simply broke like biscuits, and he was pulled underwater while screaming. The cold scarlet lake water poured into his eyes, nose, mouth and ears, and gurgling bubbles spurted out. He could not breathe, and the despair of being unable to struggle sank deep in the lake.
"careful!!!"
The entire Kumogakure unit was in commotion. The ninjas in the front and the ninjas in the rear stopped for no apparent reason. It was not clear what happened for a while.
Enemy attack?
Where is the enemy?
"In the water! Watch your step!" An anxious roar rang out one after another.
Then, the sound of water splashing was heard one after another, and for a moment, there was a short scream, and then he was dragged deep into the water and drowned at the bottom of the dark lake.
"Get ready for Thunder Escape!"
The ninjas followed the instructions and formed seals with their hands to prepare for ninjutsu.
"put!"
One after another, Kumogakure ninjas squatted down and pressed their hands on the water at the same time. Continuous lightning flashed on the lake. Some Kumogakure ninjas avoided being affected and jumped high in advance.
but...
like water off a duck's back...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the lake with continuous lightning flashes, a bloody mouth ignored the opening of the lightning. Kumogakure, who was squatting on the water and releasing ninjutsu, looked at the ferocious mouth blooming like flowers around him.
, his face was severely twitched.
The giant mouth closed suddenly, and the ninja disappeared under the mouth, and then sank into the dark bottom of the lake.
The Kumogakure ninja leaping high not far away watched helplessly as his companion disappeared, his pupils shaking violently.
At this time, a huge splash of water jumped up from beneath him.
The ninja who jumped up in the air looked down, fear appearing on his face.
It jumped out of the water like a fish. The giant beast, which was more than ten meters long, opened its mouth big enough to stuff a person. It jumped high out of the water and bit the ninja in the air.
It has thick scales, black and reflective, like a warrior wearing heavy armor. It has a long and round body, short legs, webbed claws, and a long and thick tail.
This is...
Crocodile?
The ninjas around looked at the monster jumping out of the water.
Literally one bite at a time, the monster bit the ninja in the air. Under the influence of gravity, it slammed into the water with a startling glance, causing huge splashes of water to scatter in all directions.
The ninjas who witnessed it all took a breath of air.
As water splashed around, some people disappeared again unconsciously.
You've never heard of such a monster in this lake before, right?
"Thunder Escape has no effect! Pay attention! Immune to Thunder Escape!!!"
Most of Kumogakure's ninjas are Thunder Release users, and only a small number are Water Release, Wind Release, and Fire Release users.
When facing underwater targets, let alone thunder escape, fire escape and wind escape are not easy to use.
It's the Tiger Balm Kunai and the Detonating Talisman.
Kunai cannot penetrate underwater and its power is greatly reduced.
However, the detonating charm cannot detonate even if it is wetted. It is not that the water wets the gunpowder, but that the water destroys the paper, causing the sealing spell to become ineffective.
what to do?
Kumogakure, who specializes in most physical arts, looked at the bottomless water. The dark underwater made people feel uncomfortable instinctively.
Under unknown circumstances, no one wants to dive underwater and fight hand-to-hand with unknown monsters underwater.
"Run! Quick! Run! Across the lake quickly!"
The clouds on the lake were stunned for a moment, and as the instructions were conveyed to the entire army, they started running quickly.
Really are...
Very stubborn.
But it's also the right strategy.
Choose to leave some companions behind to complete your goal.
This is what African herds of cattle and horses do.
As long as I run faster than my companions, the lion will not eat me.
Meiji doesn't have many of these giant beasts underwater. The scale of three hundred is still the result of emergency production.
The average weight is five tons, and the body length is between 17 and 20 meters.
They are so big that it takes time to grow.
Compared with the giant psychic beast, it is still a few hundred million points smaller.
but...
A single male lion will not provoke a pack of hyenas.
In the mountain forest, groups of Xia Chizu flew up, covering the sky and flying out. In the sky, densely packed black spots formed several huge flying tentacles, followed by waving tentacles that swooped towards Yunyin from several directions.
Ninja.
"Defend in place!!!"
The commander quickly issued instructions, and the running Kumogakure stopped abruptly and each drew their weapons.
Swarms of flying Xia Chizu insects circled and approached in the sky with eager eyes, while deep under the water, one giant beast after another twisted and swam.
There are exploding bugs above and man-eating fish below.
Fragments of human body parts emerged from the water and floated on the surface, with blood and water scattered in all directions.
Kumogakure's ninjas quickly formed a circular formation, with their backs against each other to defend themselves against the attacks from the sky. They were all alone on the lake. It seemed like there was a way out, but in fact there was no way out.
The ninjas of Kumogakure swallowed nervously.
A solemn atmosphere surrounded the entire venue.
What I want to say is that Raikage is not in this team. Raikage's fleet is still at sea and has arrived in the Kingdom of Yu. The two sides will meet in the Kingdom of Fire.
Time passed by, and the two sides faced each other on the lake.
Nervous sweat dripped down his face.
The farmers on the mountain looked at this scene and their eyes widened. They wanted to see it more clearly.
"These ninjas must have angered the mountain god!"
One farmer couldn't help but said with a trembling voice.
"Otherwise, the messengers of these mountain gods would not be angry!"
The ignorant villagers didn't know clearly, but Kumogakure clearly knew that he was attacked by ninjas.
The other party is terrible.
"Aburame Bughime!"
Looking at these iconic red dragonflies, Kumogakure's commander looked solemn.
In the distance on the lake, rows of ferocious thorns stood out from the water, like giant water snakes twisting and swimming on the water, diving and disappearing from time to time, appearing and disappearing, constantly creating terrifying pressure.
The Kumogakure ninjas in the front row couldn't help but feel a commotion.
It is not safe under your feet, and you may be swallowed by the monster in front of you at any time.
The swimming underwater monsters circled around Yunyin, forming an encircling circle.
Although the number is small, the total weight is close to 1,500 tons, nearly 300,000 kilograms, and the weight of a ninja does not exceed 200 kilograms.
Calculated at 200 kilograms, the weight is equivalent to the size of 1,500 people.
Three hundred people were killed in one attack and sank underwater. Three times in a row, nearly a thousand people disappeared under the water.
Who can stand up to this?
This is the man-eating crocodile Gustav.
Titan monster Godzilla trial prototype.
The characteristic is that it is unpalatable.
Rough skin and thick flesh will cause discharge.
It is social and can cooperate in collective hunting activities and implement a variety of hunting cooperation tactics.
For example, wolf pack tactics at sea.
"Damn beast!"
A Yunyin strong man said fiercely.
"Come out of the water if you can! Fight with me for three hundred rounds!"
Gustav paid no attention to his fury.
A short distance away, a long tail swaying under the water full of pressure was swimming.
Obviously, Kumogakure also realizes that the biggest advantage of these monsters is underwater.
Kumogakure's ninjas are not good at fighting underwater. Due to the pressure of the water, their general taijutsu is completely useless underwater. He mentally compared the size of his muscles with those of his opponents. His taijutsu cannot exert its due power.
No one dares to dive easily.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Some ninjas aimed at the giant beast swimming on the water and threw kunai fiercely.
This distance is quite enough!
So, go to hell!
The kunai flew out and quickly hit the back of the giant beast. In a series of splashing sparks, the kunai spun and flew away.
So hard...
Yunyin and the others couldn't help but look at each other.
this...
However, the lightning escape that can be conducted underwater does not seem to work.
As a result, his hands were completely disabled and he was helpless in fighting.
For a moment, Yunyin couldn't move, and remained in place nervously.
Mei Ji was not in a hurry. It was important to wear down the physical strength and willpower of the prey when hunting. She slowly and slowly increased the terrifying pressure.
Simple penalty stand, ultimate enjoyment.
If you continue like this, you will die!
Because on the water, in order to maintain a standing posture, chakra and physical strength are consumed all the time, and the spirit is highly tense.
Not even a moment's rest is available.
Not to mention how long, they had to stand for several hours, not to mention Chunin, Jounin, and Genin just took a break.
Gradually, many Yunyin realized this problem.
If you continue like this, you are waiting for death!
Surrounded by monsters, his expression became more and more anxious, and fear and uneasiness faintly emerged.
Looking at the expressions of the village ninjas, I had to make a decision.
Facing the current situation, the commander knew that breaking through from the water was a fantasy, and the mountain gorge passage at the mouth of the river ahead was simply a road to death.
I had no idea how many corpses I would leave behind when I rushed out.
So, this is not fear, but a strategic shift.
He decided to take a detour.
"The whole army obeys the order! Keep the formation and retreat!"
Loud shouts of orders rang out.
The Kumogakure ninjas maintained their formation and retreated slowly and cautiously.
Walk?
Have you asked me?
The giant beasts on the water surface dived and disappeared.
The insect swarms in the sky began to swoop down at an accelerated speed.
"coming!!!"
"Ready to fight!!!"
The army of Kumogakure ninjas was boiling.
Mei Ji, who was looking at the document, chuckled and picked up the tea cup.
"Why are you laughing suddenly?" Mito asked.
"Working too much overtime, I'm a little mentally disturbed." Mei Ji replied.
Mito looked at Miki in confusion and didn't think this was the reason.
"Okay, I just think some people are too easy to deceive."
In order to avoid Kumogakure fighting to the death and causing heavy losses to the insect swarm, Meiji had no intention of putting them into the gorge passage and then ambush them from the beginning.
Instead, it left a seemingly slim chance of survival.
It's good to chase and nibble them all the way.
"Who?" Mito asked.
"Speaking of which, if you go sightseeing in the Land of Thunder, Mito, what do you want to see?" Miki asked.
"I haven't been to the Land of Thunder yet. Do you have any recommendations?" Mito asked.
"If it's Tsunade, I recommend the casino."
"As for casinos, they can be found everywhere."
"No more." Meiji said, "I have decided to close all casinos across the country."
"Eh!?" Mito raised his voice and said in surprise: "Why!?"
"Gambling is the root of all evil, Mito." Miki said: "It's a pity that after Tsunade takes over, she can no longer enter the casino. I think she can be a good Hokage with peace of mind and doesn't have to worry about losing the mortgage to the village one day.
He fell out and became a legendary gambling shadow."
Hearing this, Mito pondered for a long time, slapped the table fiercely and said happily: "I think it works!"
At the beach, Tsunade sneezed viciously and looked at the sea in the distance, where vague black spots appeared in rows.
Orochimaru next to him looked at Tsunade strangely.
"are you sick?"
"Now is not the time to be sick."
Because, the fog shadow is coming.
"I'm fine." Tsunade said solemnly, "Jiri must be cursing me."
Orochimaru raised his eyebrows charmingly.
"Don't let your guard down at the critical moment, Tsunade."
