The thousand-man brigade led by Jiraiya wanted to approach the Kumo ninja camp without anyone noticing, so it was impossible for them all to pass through at once.
Thousands of people act together, no matter how well they cover up, there is no way there will be no movement at all.
Therefore, Jiraiya divided a large group into more than twenty batches and quietly approached the Kumo ninja camp at certain intervals.
The batch that the three people from Xili were in was the last wave and also the wave with the largest number of people.
Including Hyuga Hizashi's left wing reconnaissance brigade.
All hands on deck!
Time passed quickly, and because they were the last group to set off, Seeli even took a nap. Only he could sleep at this time.
But no one was in the mood to complain about him.
When Xili and others approached the Yun Ninja camp, it was already past one in the morning.
"Jiraiya-sama, Fugaku-sama and others are already in position, and we have agreed to launch the attack in a quarter of an hour."
A Konoha ninja who was responsible for delivering the message whispered.
"A quarter of an hour?"
Jiraiya looked at his pocket watch and estimated the time in his mind.
Konoha's battle plan
To put it simply, some people are used to hold back the melee troops of the Kumo ninja, and then elite troops are inserted into the battlefield from the side to attack the long-range troops of the Kumo ninja.
That is, Uchiha Fugaku and others relied on the strategic depth of the terrain to hold back the front row of Kumo ninjas, while Jiraiya and others acted as assassins and entered the battlefield to eliminate the back row of Kumo ninjas.
Because Konoha is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, if the front row resists and the back row fights for output, it will completely allow the Kumo ninja to take advantage of it.
And separating the battlefield is more suitable for Jiraiya's battle. After all, Jiraiya's psychic beast is the biggest killer on the battlefield besides the tailed beasts!
On the other hand, the combat plan drawn up by Raikage was even simpler and more crude.
Want to cut the back row?
Cut it for you!
I gathered superior forces to form a sharp knife force, which directly penetrated your frontal force!
After secretly calculating the distance between the enemy's and our own troops' units and deducing the battle time, Jiraiya snapped his pocket watch shut.
"We'll take action in twenty minutes."
The delay was only five minutes because Jiraiya was worried that Uchiha Fugaku wouldn't be able to withstand it for too long.
Konoha's side was already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, so they were divided into two thousand-man brigades, one for Jiraiya and one for Hinata and Hinata.
As a result, Uchiha Fugaku's frontal force was only half of the Kumo ninja.
Both belong to the five major countries, and the quality of ninjas in Kumogakure is on par with Konoha.
It’s surprising that Uchiha Fugaku can withstand a double headcount gap!
"Tell Fugaku, Hizu, Shikaku and the others that they can retreat if they can't hold on any longer, so that the distance between the Kumo ninja's sword troops and the follow-up troops can be widened so that we can cut off their formation in the middle."
"clear."
The Konoha ninja who sent the message immediately turned and left.
everything's ready.
The war is about to begin!
…
boom!
Under the silent night, a deafening explosion exploded, completely tearing apart the mystery shrouding the polar night.
Rumble!!!
Continuous explosions of detonating talismans were heard, and soon after, the sounds of fighting between Konoha and Kumo ninja split through the forest between the two camps.
"It finally started, I almost fell asleep again!"
Seeli, who was lying under a big tree and yawning, suddenly heard the sound of Konoha and Kumo ninja fighting in the distance, and a carp stood up straight.
Uchiha Itachi looked into the distance calmly, he was already used to it.
Quanmei complained in her heart, only Xiao Xixi would feel bored and yawn at this time, right?
"What is our mission?"
Seeli glanced at Uchiha Itachi and asked.
The brigade led by Jiraiya consisted of a thousand people, and the main goal of the battle was to eliminate the Kumo ninja's long-range ninjutsu troops.
But it is impossible for a thousand people to rush forward at the same time.
"The cloud ninja long-range ninjutsu troops are in square formation, and our mission target is area seven."
Uchiha Itachi pointed at the Kumo ninja long-range ninjutsu troops below and said.
The square array is a regular arrangement of squares, while Area 7 is divided into a nine-square grid, with three areas horizontally and vertically, from bottom to top, and from left to right.
The order is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
The attack target of the squadron where the three people from Xili are located is Area 7 in the upper left corner.
"Do it!"
Jiraiya, who was directly in front of the team, was the first to enter the battlefield. He shouted loudly and at the same time bit his finger and scratched his palm.
Hai-xu-you-shen-wei!
"Psychic art!"
boom!
A huge cloud of smoke exploded, and a huge toad holding a pipe in his mouth, a short knife at his waist, and wearing a dark short-sleeved shirt fell from the sky.
It smashed directly into the formation of Kumo Ninja's long-range ninjutsu troops.
For a moment, thick smoke billowed in the venue.
The hill-like body of Gamabunta hit the Kumo ninja formation, and some unlucky ones who had no time to dodge were directly crushed into meat pies.
"Follow Jiraiya-sama and break through the Kumo ninja's defense!"
"Kill the cloud ninjas and drive them out!"
"Charge and kill!!"
The huge psychic beast appears, and its intimidating power is by no means weaker than that of the tailed beast.
Although it is impossible for Gamabunta to be an opponent of a tailed beast on his own, but with the addition of Jiraiya, the situation is greatly reversed.
In an instant, war dust filled the air and rocks flew.
Konoha's left wing troops and the Kumo ninja's long-range ninjutsu troops were in close combat, and a new large battlefield was opened up instantly.
As he moved his limbs, the laziness on Xili's body gradually disappeared.
"Let's go, isn't our mission in Area 7? How about a wave of big moves to start a group first?"
"Don't mess around!"
Upon hearing Seeli's words, Uchiha Itachi instantly became furious.
He knew that nothing good would happen if he teamed up with this idiot. It was as scary as riding a roller coaster every time.
Either one person rushes into a squadron's formation, or one person chases a group of Kumo ninjas.
How dare you go and poke the Raikage in the ass!
Is this really something a genin can do? Even the Third Hokage is not that good, right?
"Xiao Xixi, what do you want to do?"
But Quanmei didn't object directly. Doesn't she understand Xiao Xixi's urine properties?
If objection is useful, then it is not Xiao Xixi’s style!
Rather than directly objecting, it is better to figure out what Xiao Xixi wants to do and try to cooperate with him as much as possible.
Quanmei believes that Xili will not act recklessly.
Xili curled up his lips and smiled mysteriously, but did not answer Quanmei's question.
He stretched out his hands and formed a seal without hesitation. Not only Itachi Uchiha could see this seal, but even Izumi could see it.
It’s the seal of the shadow clone!
Using a shadow clone at the beginning? It’s too chakra-rich, right?
"Small"
Before Izumi could stop him, Xili had already activated his ninjutsu.
Bang! Bang!
Two clouds of smoke exploded, and two identical shadow clones immediately appeared on the left and right sides of Xili, and chakra was spread out evenly.
"I know what you want to say, but my shadow clone is different!"
