It was a very peaceful night, and nothing happened on the battlefield. News came from the surprise attack team that they had won, and Deidara was captured. This was the signal to start the war, and it was also a good start.
"Sasuke, do you want them to take a detour as planned?" Shikaku asked.
"Well, let them ambush at the northwest position of the elite team. The distance can be farther away. It can be regarded as the frontier of the realm. If the Kakashi team encounters the opponent's elites, then they should not attack immediately and try to bypass the enemy's back. After Itachi Squad and I arrive, they will join the attack. In this way, they can win a battlefield in one go. By then we will have enough manpower."
"Okay, you should take the time to rest. Maybe you will go to the battlefield sometime."
"Please, please." Sasuke left the headquarters and came to the place where Itachi Squad was resting. Itachi saw Sasuke arriving and led him directly to his room.
"Aren't your eyes finished yet?" Itachi asked.
"No, we don't know exactly when it will be completed. There are no signs of completion at all, but we can't control that much. This war cannot be lost, and there is no need to hide it from our eyes. Let's use it as soon as the battle begins."
"I don't need to use Susanoo. I can't use my full strength in battle. If that doesn't work, I'll use fake Mangekyo."
"No, now that you have found the right path, don't go astray. Your Seven Tomoe is completely sufficient. With the eye technique of 'Kamui', it is impossible for ordinary ninjas to cause harm to us. When we do it, we can use it suddenly and directly eliminate the two opponents first."
"Okay, but I won't leave your side. Your Chakra is too unstable." Itachi was still worried about Sasuke's Chakra problem.
"Don't worry about this, I can also use Senjutsu to make up for it."
"The usage of Senjutsu is only equal to that of Chakra. Once you only have one-third of the Chakra left, Senjutsu only gives you two-thirds. I will never let you have any problems."
"Understood, I will pay attention. After the first battle, I will restore Chakra first, and then go to the second battlefield."
"That's best. You can rest." Itachi turned around and left. Sasuke felt warm looking at Itachi's back. It was really a blessing to have such a brother.
The night before the war was extremely quiet. Sasuke had a good sleep. After dinner the next morning, he started practicing Chakra again, and then went to the headquarters.
"Chief of General Staff, how is the situation?" Sasuke asked directly.
"It's about to start. The two sides are about to start contact. The defense line on the shore is okay, but here on the land, the opponent has been advancing underground. They still need to be forced out."
"Well, that's good. Let the Earth Release ninja use 'Earth Release! Opening Earth Rising Excavation!' to throw out the copy below. The Fire Release ninja can take this opportunity to attack once. There is still hope for a large number of casualties. Then their subsequent troops will rush out. At this time, they need to retreat to establish a defense line."
"Want to strike first? Yes, Third Division of Mifune has already started taking action, but in order to prevent the other party from getting information in advance, they have just taken action now. It will take at least half a day to detour behind the land battlefield."
"The time has passed very quickly. Let them pay attention to their safety. The reconnaissance force will continue to investigate and can get close to the opponent's base camp. Once Masked Man is dispatched, I must be clear that he must not be allowed to enter any battlefield."
On the land battlefield, Kitsuchi, as the captain, has been watching the opponent's actions nervously, and the sensing ninja keeps sending messages, "Captain, combat orders from the general headquarters."
Kitsuchi read the combat order and then laughed, "It's a good plan. It can strike first. The other party wants to catch us off guard, but now it's me who strikes them first."
"Boss, what are you happy about there?" Kurotsuchi looked at his father laughing there and asked casually.
"Nothing. Gather Earth Release Jonin, let them gather together, and then gather all Fire Release Chunin and above. We are going to have a big one." Kitsuchi started to set up, and then waited for the enemy to approach. Movement by land was much faster than by sea and land. The sun rose to a certain height. Although it was not hot, the ninjas of Second Division still had some sweat sliding down their cheeks.
"They're here," the Sensing Ninja said.
"Number of people and location." Kitsuchi asked directly without any nonsense. "The number is 50,000. One hundred meters in front of us in front of the forward, we are marching in columns and the people are very dense." The sensing ninja immediately gave the specific situation.
"Very good, all Earth Release Jonin are in position, and Fire Release ninjas are ready to attack." Kitsuchi has a large layout. Earth Release Jonin uses ninjutsu in multiple locations to throw out enemy troops, and then Fire Release attacks, killing as many as they can, and then retreats to regroup. They don't need to engage in large-scale battles with the opponent immediately. The decisive battle will begin after Third Division completes the encirclement.
"The Sensing Ninja is counting down." Everyone became nervous and prepared Hand Seals with their hands. "Three, two, one," the sentient ninja shouted.
"Earth Release! Opening Earth Rising Excavation!" All the Earth Release Jonin shouted at the same time, then Hand Seals with both hands quickly, and then directly hit the ground. The ground roared, and this ninjutsu was a bit like simulating the eruption of a volcano. It had a comedic effect in the anime, but Sasuke always believed that this was a good time to attack.
The sudden attack left the opponent unprepared, and at the same time, he had no resistance after being thrown out. Wouldn't it be fun for you not to attack at this time?
"Fire Release! Great Fireball Technique!" Fire Release ninjas above Chunin are divided into several batches. The first batch directly uses C-level ninjutsu to attack. This ninjutsu consumes Chakra, which is generally used by Chunin. "Huhuhu" A pile of fireballs directly attacked the thrown replica, "Ah..." screams sounded out one after another.
Earth Release Jonin continued to input Chakra, and the clones were continuously thrown out, but at this time, the ground cracked not far from them, "Captain, they started to rush out of the ground." The Sensing Ninja reported immediately.
"Earth Release ninjas retreat and form formation, Fire Release continue to attack!" All Earth Release ninjas began to evacuate here, and then stood in a neat queue behind, while Fire Release ninjas took turns releasing ninjutsu in batches, and retreated directly after releasing them.
The first wave had a good effect, killing more than two thousand clones directly, but this number was nothing to the enemy, and they still had to wait for support to arrive.
