After a few more days of this, Konoha and Kumo ninja, who were fighting fiercely, unexpectedly stopped at the same time. It was not a real truce, but the last rest before the decisive battle.
That night, Xili, who was affiliated with the Uchiha army, was summoned.
The Uchiha force is a thousand-man brigade.
It is an elite force mainly based on the ninjas of the Uchiha clan and supplemented by ninjas from other families.
Otherwise, even if Uchiha Fugaku drags out all the members of the Uchiha clan, he still won't be able to form a full force of a thousand people.
This team is usually directly commanded by Uchiha Fugaku.
But tonight, it was left to Jiraiya to lead the team.
…
It was night, Izumi and Itachi, fully armed, looked for Xili who was practicing by the river.
"Xiao Xixi, come here quickly!"
Izumi waved her hands and shouted loudly.
Xili stood on the river and hit a big tree not far from the river bank. He had already discovered the auras of Izumi and Itachi.
As soon as I heard Izumi's shouting, I threw my last punch and jumped onto the shore.
"This is what you are doing?"
Seeing the two men fully armed, Xili didn't know that they were about to go on a mission.
It's just that Uchiha Shisui is still recuperating, right? Uchiha Itachi has no one to protect him, so Uchiha Fugaku will feel relieved?
Is it possible that the old cheater is trying to cheat his son again this time?
It doesn't matter if you trick your son, don't trick him and Miss Izumi into it too!
"Our mission is to make a surprise attack and flank the Kumo ninja's ninjutsu troops."
Uchiha Itachi explained.
"A fight at night?"
Xi Li raised his eyebrows, there must be something wrong with this guy!
In order to ensure sufficient physical strength, although he was still practicing these days, he went to bed on time every night, fearing that he would receive a combat mission the next day.
Uchiha Itachi could roughly guess what Xili was thinking.
He added, "The attack time is in the early morning. We are now going to the mountain on the left wing. Once the battle starts, we will attack the Kumo Ninja camp from the side."
In other words, there are still a few hours of rest.
Konoha Camp is divided into two parts. One is the main camp, where Uchiha Fugaku is located.
The other is the left-wing reconnaissance camp responsible for surveillance and support, which is the camp on the high mountain on the left where Hyuga Hizashi is.
The left wing reconnaissance battalion has a small number of people and only has the combat strength of one brigade.
Relying on the geographical advantage, it is in close contact with the main business.
"So, the main camp is feinting, and the real killing move is on the left?"
Although Xili didn't care about these things, he still knew the configuration of Konoha's troops. The troops formed based on the Uchiha clan were the best among the best.
They were the only genin in the entire team, and Itachi Uchiha was already a chuunin.
And purely in terms of combat effectiveness and team composition, the team of Xili, Itachi, and Izumi will definitely not be held back.
Xili represents physical skills, close combat, and physical escape.
Uchiha Itachi represents ninjutsu, illusion, and magic output.
Uchiha Izumi represents support, healing, and long-range. Izumi's shuriken skills are not as good as Itachi's, but she can beat Seeli by ten blocks.
They are not only an all-round team configuration, but also a team with explosive combat effectiveness.
"Then who is our leader?"
Ninja formations on the frontal battlefield are usually composed of three or four people. Unless a four-person team is sent on a mission, a team leader is compulsorily appointed.
The leader that Xili asked about refers to the leader of the Uchiha force.
"It's Jiraiya-sama."
Izumi replied.
"It's okay if it's him. It seems like this war is about to end."
Xi Li nodded and asked no more questions.
He quickly checked the ninja tool bag, and found that there was actually nothing to check. He rarely used shurikens, kunai and other ninja tools.
And the only mace that was often used was broken by playing with it.
As for combat clothing, there is no such thing.
Xili didn't like to wear ninja equipment very much. The fishnet-patterned tights were not suitable for his aggressive fighting style.
Moreover, both his hands and feet were wearing weight rings, which made it even more inconvenient to move while wearing ninja equipment.
It was precisely for this reason that Izumi and Itachi did not come to Seeli in advance.
Because Xili is always in the strongest fighting state!
The three of them finished their preparations and rushed towards the secret assembly point. There was still about ten minutes left before the agreed assembly time.
The one thousand men belonging to the Uchiha army were assembled.
The leader of the group was Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas.
There were a thousand people standing in the forest, but there was not a trace of noise. The quiet air made people feel a little depressing, as heavy as a sponge filled with water.
A chilling atmosphere filled the air.
Everyone's eyes fell on Jiraiya on the big tree directly in front.
"Jiraiya-sama, the troops have been assembled."
The adjutant made a serious report.
Hearing this, Jiraiya glanced solemnly at the thousands-man army below, his mood far less calm than his face.
Jiraiya sighed secretly in his heart and looked at everyone with an incomprehensible expression.
I wonder how many people will be left standing after the battle this time.
Taking a deep breath, Jiraiya calmed down and asked, "How are the preparations for Hizashi? Have all the nearby Kumo ninja reconnaissance teams been cleared out?"
"All eleven Cloud Ninja reconnaissance teams in the left-wing mountain range have been cleared," the adjutant replied meticulously.
You don’t need to say much to boost morale, you just need to tell everyone one thing.
That is
"The decisive battle is approaching. I have only a few words to send to you. It is also my hope to defeat the Kumo ninja and return home alive. Konoha will definitely win!"
"Destroy the cloud ninja!"
"Go home alive!"
"Konoha must win!"
"Defel away the Kumo ninja!"
"Go home alive!"
"Konoha must win!"
""
"Set off!"
Swish swish swish!!
The thousand-man troop quickly shuttled through the forest and climbed straight to the mountain on the left, just like strong and sharp apes, moving at extremely fast speeds.
…
At the same time, the cloud ninja camp.
"Lord Raikage, the reconnaissance team responsible for monitoring Konoha's Hyuuga Hizashi troops has all lost contact, and I'm afraid they have been killed."
Mabuyi walked into the main tent with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice.
"It seems Konoha can't wait any longer."
Raikage has been feeling uneasy ever since he got the news that Kirabi was captured. He knew who did it, and he also knew that the defeat rate of the Kumo ninja in this decisive battle was very high.
But this battle must be fought, and it must be won.
otherwise
"Notify the entire battalion to form a cone array!"
Raikage punched the desk and stood up suddenly.
"Since Konoha plans to attack from both sides, we will form a sharp knife force and directly penetrate their main force!"
“What about the camp?”
Mabuyi seemed to see Raikage's plan to fight and asked with some uncertainty.
"Just abandon the camp!"
Raikage may seem reckless, but he is actually very shrewd. Although his IQ is outshone by Nara Shikaku, he is definitely not a fool.
His tone dropped, and then he added.
"If we win, the Konoha Camp will be ours, and most of the northeastern part of the Fire Country will be ours. We can even drive straight into the heart of the Fire Country!"
"If we lose the battle, can we still hold this camp?"
"yes!"
Mabuyi's expression condensed, and she turned around to give the Raikage's order.
