The combat effectiveness of the Kumo Ninja special operations force this time was at least comparable to that of the elite troops led by Ai and Kirabi last time. They came all the way at a high speed, and the Iwa Ninja investigators were unable to detect anything at all.
Traces.
Until the moment you enter the grassland country area.
Only then did the Iwa Ninja investigators catch a slight trace.
But it was also because the Kingdom of Grass was merged into the Kingdom of Earth just a few years ago. The Iwa Ninjas' control over this area was far from what it was in the Kingdom of Earth. It was delayed for a while longer, and it was still in the Kingdom of Earth.
After paying a certain price, and the most important thing was that the Kusanagi troops led by the four Kusakure village elders were exposed first, the traces of this elite Kumo ninja army were detected by the Iwa ninja side.
A jounin of Iwagakure who was responsible for guarding the hidden village area of harassana immediately spread the news back to his own ninja village, and then immediately issued an order to summon hundreds of people stationed in this area.
Famous rock ninja!
And it was also after realizing that his whereabouts were exposed.
While Tutai secretly cursed those idiots in Caoyin Village for their failure, he could only immediately revise his plan and launch a surprise attack!
We must seize the area of Yuancao Hidden Village in the shortest possible time.
After all, according to what the four Caoyin Village elders said, if you want to open the Box of Bliss, you must borrow a special magic circle in the original secret room under their Caoyin Village. Otherwise, even if there are sufficient sacrifices,
It is absolutely impossible to open the Box of Bliss!
This also forces the Yunyin Village side to cooperate with the actions of the grass ninjas in the early stage. Of course, this is a complete lie!
Those four elders.
They simply want to use the power of Kumo ninja to seize back their own ninja village. At this point, Todai may not have guessed it, but it does not conflict with their main plan, so Todai will just turn a blind eye.
It's obvious, besides, there is a certain probability that the person is not lying?
Therefore, as long as he can ensure the smooth implementation of his Ninja Village plan, Tutai will not bother to worry about this!
And with the number of ninjas currently stationed in Iwagakure Village in the Harukagakure Village area, the combat effectiveness of their Cloud Ninja Special Operations Force is enough to bulldoze them head-on, let alone reach the border area.
Tutai can also mobilize some of the elite members of the Kumo ninja garrison to participate in the operation. Besides, the 'main body' of the plan this time is that group of grass ninjas.
At this point, there is nothing wrong with the earth platform, and there is no need to worry.
The problem still lies in the subsequent reaction of Yanyin Village after seizing Caoyin Village. Tutai also predicted the most likely reactions of Yanyin Village in advance, and then made corresponding preparations one by one in advance!
"This is the first step of the operation. The next step is to see how Iwagakure Village will react!"
Standing on a high mountain in the northeast outside the original Caoyin Village, overlooking the Caoyin Village in the distance, there was a cold color in Tudai's pupils.
"Darui, the next step is up to you. You must eliminate the rock ninjas in the village in the shortest possible time!"
Nearly two hundred figures slowly emerged from the woods.
Tutai looked at Darui who was walking in front and said this with a very serious expression.
"Yes, Tutai Sang, please rest assured!"
Darui was fully armed, and the only eye that was not covered by his bangs showed a look of determination.
"out!"
That arm suddenly swung down.
"yes!"
Then the figure jumped out.
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh!"
Except for Yukito and a few people who stayed behind, the remaining Kumo ninjas followed Darui closely.
An invasion was launched towards the Caoyin Village not far away.
And that was before the Kumo ninja launched his attack.
There are hundreds of grass ninjas.
Under the leadership of a very tall and muscular man with a Chinese-character face, they first broke into the village of Haruka Hidden and started the fiercest fight with the Iwa ninjas stationed inside!
The number of Iwa ninjas deployed in Iwagakure Village in the Land of Grass is around a thousand, half of which are assigned to the border areas to serve as front-line reconnaissance and garrison troops. Only less than 500 are stationed in the original area.
In the Caoyin Village area.
And there are nearly 20 jounin, including special jounin. Under normal circumstances, this force is enough to deal with most situations, including the resurgence of Kusakure Village, or the invasion of the five major ninja villages.
At the very least, the Iwa Ninjas can block the first wave, because it is impossible for a large force to invade such a deep area without being discovered. Only a small-scale invasion force can do this.
The Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja in the original novel were able to invade the hinterland of the Land of Fire openly and reach the outskirts of Konoha without being discovered by the Konoha ninjas. That was because there was a certain big traitor.
of assistance!
Otherwise, no matter how weak Konoha is, it will be impossible for such a ninja army to cross its borders wantonly, right?
No matter how stupid Sarutobi Hiruzen is, he will not treat Konoha as a battlefield.
Even if we look at the Third Hokage from the perspective of conspiracy theories, there is only one thing that cannot be changed. He indeed cherishes and loves this shinobi village very much!
Therefore, in the battle between the five major ninja villages, the invasion of small-scale troops is capable of not being discovered for a short period of time.
However, it is impossible to achieve perfect stealth in an invasion of large-scale troops!
From this point alone, the Iwa Ninja Legion deployed in the Country of Grass is capable of conducting a minimum confrontation, at least until reinforcements arrive.
But this is undoubtedly a theoretical possibility.
The elite level of this cloud ninja army is not only outrageous, but the most important thing is that Darui, a genius cloud ninja who is only 16 years old, can exert almost quasi-shadow level power!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is not something that ordinary Iwa ninjas can deal with.
The only few jounin in this group of rock ninjas would probably have to join forces to fight, without the most important jounin.
What can the remaining Iwa ninja do to prevent subsequent enemy invasions!?
Not to mention there are hundreds of grass ninjas. No matter how poor the quality of these people are, they are still here in quantity.
Tutai is not worried at all about the first phase of his plan.
If we still can't capture this village whose defense is not strong enough, there will be no follow-up plan at all.
In fact, this is also true.
The first group of grass ninjas who invaded the Kusakuin Village were quite fierce. Under the leadership of a young jounin named "Wuwei", they were not suppressed by the Iwa ninjas in the first place.
, the courage and strength displayed.
Even if it is a clay platform, you can't help but look at it with admiration.
This also allows the Cloud Ninjas who attack from behind to easily tear through the Iwa Ninjas' defense.
"Thunder Escape-Thunder Cloud Technique!"
"Thunder Escape—The Art of Pseudo Darkness!"
"Thunder Escape - Earth Walking Technique!"
"Thunder Escape!"
The thunder escape technique comes from the film.
He almost suppressed most of the rock ninjas, although it is impossible for the ninjas in the five major ninja villages to be only good at one kind of technique.
But really except Konoha.
In the other four major ninja villages, most ninjas really only know a single escape technique. Kumogakure Village is thunder escape, Kirigakure village is water escape, Sunagakure village is wind escape, and Iwagakure village is earth escape.
, jounin is still a minority after all!
A ninja who can master two or even three or more escape techniques.
He is already the best in the ninja world!
Because except for a few true geniuses, generally speaking, this is the qualification and authority that only jonins have!
At this moment, the Jōnin of Yagakure Village were guarding Kusagakure Village.
They were already rounded off by Wuwei and Darui who suddenly came in from behind. Ninety percent of the remaining chunin and genin were only capable of earth escape. Under such circumstances, the Kumo ninjas
As soon as the new force joins in.
These rock ninjas could only retreat steadily.
"Boom!"
"go to hell!"
"ah!?"
"Clang clang clang clang clang!"
Sparks burst and explosions roared.
There were also the stern sounds of fighting, shouts and screams that resounded over the entire Caoyin Village at this moment!
The civilians of the Yuancao Hidden Village who had no time to escape were huddled in their homes and shivering, and no one dared to leave their homes.
At this time, the only thing they can do is to pray that the battle will not affect them, but the battle takes place within the village, not to mention the battle at the Jonin level, even if it is a fierce collision between Chunin and Genin, it is just
Level B, or even the lowest level spells such as C and D, once these most ordinary buildings are bombarded, they will definitely collapse!
Such a battle.
It is 100% certain that some unlucky people were involved!
"Crash!"
"boom!"
Raging fire.
Diffusing black smoke.
"Earth Release - Earth Formation Wall Technique!"
"Water Release - Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Earth Escape!"
"Thunder Escape!"
One escape technique after another, the scene in the village became extremely bloody and tragic. At this moment, these people who were originally Caoyin Village also involuntarily began to resent those who invaded the village today, who should be considered their own family members.
Those grass ninjas!
People's demands are always so low.
For these ordinary people.
Being able to live peacefully and peacefully is their greatest wish.
In the past two years, Iwagakure Village has brought an unprecedented sense of peace to the people of Kusugakure Village. Another most important point is that the third Tsuchikage Onoki followed the advice of the general, and most of them were captured and joined.
All the grass ninjas who came to Iwagakure Village were treated equally, even some grass ninjas who needed to be punished.
In the past year, some people have been released one after another!
This has also improved the recognition of Iwagakure Village among these people to a certain extent!
You must know that some of the rock ninjas stationed in the Grass Country and the Grass Hidden Village are the original grass ninjas.
The remnants of the Grass Ninja Legion led by the four elders re-invaded the Kusanagi Village this time. They thought that they could get the support of all the people of the Country of Grass and could easily instigate those who were 'forced' to join the Iwa Ninja sequence.
Former companions!
However, all of this will eventually run counter to their ideas!
They were squandering the few remaining goodwill and goodwill, and it was at the moment when the war broke out in the village that the position of these people really began to change.
There is a saying that makes a lot of sense.
Some people will never feel how kind you are to them, so they will definitely be grateful to you, but as long as someone else shows a little bit of malice towards them, then these people will definitely feel your kindness.
The people of Caoyin Village today are in such a situation.
Of course these people are powerless to change the war.
It can only be said that it will slowly ferment and have a certain degree of influence in the follow-up, but if the four elders of Caoyin Village can really recast the so-called "Glory of Caoyin Village", these are just details.
"Boom!"
Progress step by step.
"ah!?"
"Poof!"
"Hundan!"
The Iwa Ninjas were killed one after another. Although the Cloud Ninjas and Grass Ninjas also had to pay a certain price, the Iwa Ninjas were obviously the ones who suffered the heavier losses.
It only took less than an hour of fighting.
The death toll on the Iwa Ninja side reached a terrifying 30%!
among the remaining staff.
More than half were injured.
This casualty rate is really too high.
"hateful!"
Especially when the Iwa Ninja commander was accurately targeted by Darui and used his Thunder Release Ninja Taijutsu to get close to him easily. After a fierce battle and powerfully killed him with his Arashi Release, the Iwa Ninja was completely trapped.
into a collapse situation.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Retreat! Retreat immediately!"
There are two or three remaining jounin.
When you see that the situation has reached an irreversible situation.
The order to retreat was immediately issued, with a jounin leading dozens of Iwa ninjas as the back-up force. The remaining Iwa ninjas also immediately retreated with their injured companions as quickly as they saw this scene.
The cloud ninjas headed by Darui also pursued and killed them symbolically.
Just stopped.
The goal of the Kumo ninja side has never been to eliminate all the Iwa ninjas here, let alone to start a direct war. Instead, they want to use Kamikagakure Village to see what kind of strength and confidence the current Iwagakure Village has.
Choosing to stop when seeing that the tactical goal is achieved is naturally the right thing to do.
On the contrary, under the instructions of the four elders, the grass ninja chased for an extra distance. However, without the assistance of the cloud ninja, not only did the grass ninja escape easily, but even during the pursuit, the grass ninja
It also cost some more casualties.
This was also the reason why the Kusakure village jounin named "Wuwei" was very dissatisfied.
He even directly confronted Darui on the spot.
Until the four elders from Caoyin Village and Tutai arrived.
"Although there are indeed some rudenesses in Wuwei, Lord Tutai, is your behavior of the cloud ninjas a bit excessive? Has it violated the covenant between us?"
The leading elder in blue wore a special mask and said in a very cold tone as he looked at the platform opposite.
Follow the three elders standing next to you.
There was also a gloomy atmosphere.
"Breaking the covenant? No, no, no, what we in Yunyin Village are doing is abiding by the covenant. Don't forget, four elders, our purpose is only to take back Caoyin Village, and then try to get the Box of Bliss as early as possible
Isn’t it unblocking? Instead of wasting time chasing down those rock ninjas, it’s better to return to the main body as soon as possible. This is the most important thing, right? The four elders should not forget this, right!?”
For that so-called covenant.
Todai was just as scornful as his fourth-generation Raikage-sama.
What qualifications does a mere wiped out Caoyin Village have to be their ally to Yunyin Village!?
Said without politeness.
Ninja Village has developed to this point.
Except for the five great ninja villages, the only ones that had the qualifications to establish a certain level of status with the five great ninja villages were Takigakure and Amegakure. These two ninja villages also had limitations. One was because Takigakure
There are Nanao in the village.
The other reason is because of the existence of Sansho Fish Hanzo.
If you really want to talk about the background of Ninja Village, it’s not enough.
Therefore, Tutai, who is just a Caoyin Village, doesn't look down on him at all. But now that he is in the stage of using others, Tutai still has a faint smile on the surface.
After all, testing Iwagakure Village is one thing. For the Box of Bliss, Dodai is still very interested in it, just like his fourth generation Raikage-sama.
If this thing is really the No. 1 Noble Phantasm of the Six Paths Sage Period.
It can really provide a strong boost to their ninja hegemony in Cloud Hidden Village!
"That's what I say, but wouldn't it be helpful for the next plan if we could clear out as many rock ninjas as possible?"
The four elders of Caoyin Village were stunned by Tudai's words.
Especially when I saw the expressionless Yukito standing next to Dodai, with a very dark yet powerful chakra fluctuation spreading all over his body.
The faces of the four elders hidden under their masks were slightly stagnant.
But in terms of words, he is still unwilling to admit defeat easily.
"Well, as long as your village's plan goes as smoothly as promised before, you don't need to worry about some troubles at all, right? Compared to these, I think it's better to start the planned plan as soon as possible, otherwise, wait until Iwa Ninja
Things will really get troublesome when the army arrives!"
The platform was neither soft nor hard, which stimulated the four elders.
The four of them glanced at each other subconsciously.
The elder in blue also took a deep breath and said: "Well, what Mr. Tutai said makes sense, Wu Wei, please make corresponding preparations immediately! For the glory of our Caoyin Village, we cannot fail again this time!"
His eyes also shifted to the words that the Kusakure Village Jounin named Wuwei spoke in a low voice.
Wuwei also nodded heavily and replied.
"yes!"
But it was also the moment when he bowed his head.
There was another special and strong fluctuation revealed in the pupils, but it was something that the four elders at a closer position could not notice.
This jounin of Kusagakure Village, who seems to be the most trusted by the four elders, obviously has his own intentions at this moment!
"Then we need to do some rituals, and we will need your village's assistance later..."
"The four elders don't need to worry about this at all. The one next to me is assisting your village. Please rest assured!"
There is no need to finish the sentence to the other person.
Tutai naturally understands the meaning of the other side.
He raised his hand, and the words he spoke were matched with Yumu Ren's domineering look.
Naturally, the four elders can get it immediately.
"Then we can rest assured! Go quickly, Wuwei, don't let our young master wait too long!"
The elder in blue said meaningfully.
"yes!"
After Wuwei suddenly lowered his head in response.
He also dodged and headed towards the building where Puru once lived. Darui on the side also followed Dodai's eyes and went to gather his own Kumo ninja troops. The Iwa ninja's counterattack was about to come.
Got it!
Next, they in Yunyin Village will try to remain on the sidelines as much as possible.
Take a look at what kind of power the so-called most powerful Noble Phantasm of the Six Paths Sage Era in Kusakuin Village has!
And what exactly will be the course of action of the Iwa ninjas dispatched next?
And the chakra armor that Yunyin Village attaches great importance to, can we see it in the next collision?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These will greatly affect the next strategic choices of their Yunyin Village!
Completed first phase objectives.
Then comes the next step of preparation that needs to be done.
Not to mention that the Grass Ninja and the Kumo Ninja are in alliance while still engaging in intrigues.
The other side.
The retreating Iwa ninja troops.
Not long after, they encountered the first batch of Iwa Ninja reinforcements who rushed to the rescue after receiving the signal.
This batch of reinforcements is not very large, only about 300 people.
But the leader is Akatsuchi, one of Onoki’s disciples!
As a soil escape expert in Iwagakure Village, Akatsuki was only inferior to a few people in Onoki and Loess, but now he already possesses the power of the quasi-shadow level.
The Iwa Ninja force led by him must have good combat effectiveness.
"What did you say!? The remnants of Kusanagi and Kumo ninja have united, right!?"
The moment when first-hand information was obtained from the defeated companions.
Chitu's brows suddenly frowned.
"Yes, Akatsuchi-san, and almost all of this group of Kumo ninjas are elites. There are a very large number of jounin in them. The most important thing is that the leader seems to be the Raikage's top adviser - Dodai.
And I also saw what appeared to be the existence of the Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki!"
A slightly embarrassed young man wearing Iwa Ninja uniform said with a very serious look.
Yumuren, Chilabi.
As the Kumogakure village tailed beast jinchūriki who had a record of taking action in the three battles.
Naturally, each village has its own recorded information.
As the Jonin of Iwagakure Village, this Iwa Ninja naturally knew some of the corresponding information. Yukito's appearance was naturally the most important information point, but it was also because he did not see Yukito take action.
This Iwa nin cannot be 100% sure.
But such information.
Even if it is just a suspicion, it is very scary!
To know the collision between ninja villages, it is true that the number of ninjas participating in the battle is a criterion, but whether the tailed beasts participate in the battle is also a very important criterion!
As soon as I heard that the Kumo ninja actually brought the two-tailed Jinchuuriki!
Chitu's expression changed accordingly.
"Hun Dan, does Yunyin want to start a full-scale war!?"
But only after a second.
The red soil shows the color of determination.
"Get ready for battle immediately, Cao Rin. You can separate a group of people to escort the wounded to retreat first, and the remaining people can rejoin the battle sequence. Is there no problem with that!?"
