Please Let Me Lead the Charge
"Naruto, don't get too excited, you've already left the group!"
Seeing that Naruto was getting stronger and stronger in battle and was about to venture deep into enemy territory alone, Shikamaru Nara quickly spoke up to remind him.
"You brat, die!"
Seeing Naruto momentarily stunned by Shikamaru Nara, an Impure World Reincarnation Tensei ninja seized the opportunity and attacked Naruto's vitals.
"You won't succeed!"
A delicate shout rang out.
Hinata Hyuga glared angrily, her Byakugan activated to its limit, and unleashed two Lion Head -shaped Chakra attacks from her hands, blasting away all the Impure World Reincarnation ninjas that were charging towards Naruto.
"Thank you, Hinata!"
Naruto thanked Hinata with a big smile, which made Hinata blush immediately.
"Hinata, watch out!"
But just as Hinata lowered her guard, a crisis appeared behind her.
A White Zetsu thrust out a long thorn, about to pierce her body and kill her instantly!
"!!!"
When Hinata realized what was happening and turned around, the long spikes were already right in front of her, and she couldn't dodge them at all.
Is this the end?
"Naruto-kun, I want to fight alongside you again!"
Hinata Hyuga closed her eyes resignedly, awaiting death.
"You dare!!!"
But Hinata then heard an angry shout.
The next moment, she was embraced. The embrace was so warm and reliable that Hinata felt a strong sense of security.
She opened her eyes and saw a resolute face with sharp, piercing blue eyes.
Who else could it be but Naruto!
"Big Ball Rasengan!"
Beside Naruto, a group of Shadow Clone Rasengan charged in all directions, each wielding a Rasengan the size of a millstone, clearing out all the nearby enemies.
"Are you alright, Hinata?" Naruto appeared and asked with concern.
"No... it's nothing!"
Hinata was so embarrassed by Naruto's close gaze that her head was burning with embarrassment, and she completely lost her ability to think.
"That's good!"
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then pulled Hinata back to Shikamaru Nara's side.
"This is not a good situation!"
Shikamaru Nara looked at the endless army of White Zetsu and the constantly resurrecting army of Impure World Reincarnation Tensei ninja, his forehead covered in sweat.
This was the first time he had experienced such a massive war.
Shikamaru Nara wanted to say that he wasn't ready yet!
He glanced at the Third Hokage and the others, then at Kakashi and the others, and felt an unprecedented pressure.
The top-level and high-ranking combat forces in the village were tied up.
He had never encountered anything like this before.
Even within the Konoha Crush Plan, their high-ranking combat forces were still more than capable of handling the situation.
But now, the situation is really bad.
Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the Third Hokage, despite the help of Utatane Koharu Mitokado Homura, were still at a disadvantage due to their injuries sustained a few days prior.
Shikaku Nara couldn't help but feel a sense of defeat: Was Konoha going to lose this time?
Xiu Yi, who was controlling a group of Impure World Reincarnation ninja, had obviously noticed this as well, and couldn't help but let out a smug laugh, "Looks like your Konoha Ninja are no good!"
"Since that's the case, how can we let such a good opportunity slip by? Impure World Reincarnation ninja, charge!"
"White Zetsu army, kill!"
Xiu Yi thought smugly to himself, "It seems I'll be the first to complete Kainojirou's work. Hmph, Kainojirou's number one subordinate is mine!"
"Retreat!!!"
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to their side, the Third Hokage and other high-ranking officials discussed the matter and decided to retreat.
On the other side, here at the battlefield in Kirigakure!
"It's the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!"
"It's the Second Mizukage, Lord Hozuki Gengetsu!"
"It's the former Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Lord Fucha!"
"We are the former Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Koyoshi!"
"And the heroes who died in battle in various Kirigakure!"
Kainojirou has finally arrived!
Moreover, he brought a large army of Impure World Reincarnation with him.
To be precise, only the powerful are Impure World Reincarnation.
The remaining grunts were summoned using a technique called 'Earth Release: Soil of the Dead'!
[Earth Release: Soil of the Dead: Can summon all the creatures buried in a certain area. Does not have unlimited Chakra, and there is a two-minute interval between regenerations.]
Although it's not as good as the Impure World Reincarnation, it's still a low-end version of the Impure World Reincarnation.
"Ye Liangnai, we've finally met."
"I'll give you a way out. Surrender now, and I might take you under my wing because of your remarkable achievements, and give you a chance to live."
"I hope you won't remain stubbornly obstinate and continue to put up a last-ditch resistance!"
Kainojirou stood on the back of a tall corpse, looking down at Ye Liangnai with an air of complete confidence.
Behind him stretched an endless army of corpses.
Roughly speaking, it must be around fifty or sixty thousand!
It certainly has a star-studded lineup.
If he comes with Muronakao, the 120,000-strong army pressing in could really cause some trouble for Ye Liangnai.
But now—
Just look at the eager expressions on the faces of the Mist Ninja behind Ye Liangnai.
That tells you what they're thinking.
Upon hearing this, Ye Liangnai chuckled and said, "Then I really want to try putting up a fight and see if I can get something out of it?"
He glanced at Muronakao, who was standing next to Kainojirou, and gave him a wink.
Seeing this, the latter hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "Sir, since he doesn't know what's good for him, let's let him know how powerful we are."
"At that time, he will kneel down and beg for mercy!"
"The first person to conquer the Shinobi World!"
"My lord, this is a wonderful thing to say. Who would dare not submit to you in the future? When the time comes, the Shinobi World will surrender at the mere sight of you, and your great ambitions will be just around the corner!"
Hearing Muronakao's words, Kainojirou felt extremely pleased.
How come he never realized Muronakao was such a good talker before!
He felt that he could consider promoting and raising Muronakao, making him a trusted confidant, and giving him the codename 'Village Five'!
"Well said, Muronakao, you truly are a talent I've nurtured for so long!"
Kainojirou praised her, then looked at Ye Liangnai, "Since you don't know what's good for you, then I'll show you what despair is!"
"All troops, charge!!"
With a command from Kainojirou, the Impure World Reincarnation Army and the army of the dead behind him swept over like a dark cloud.
"Retreat!"
Familiar plot, familiar gameplay!
The Mist Ninja army has retreated again!
"Hahaha, what kind of number one Shinobi World? You actually retreated without a fight. You dare to call yourself the number one ninja in the Shinobi World? You have no shame!"
"Don't even think about escaping! You won't get away today, even if you had wings!"
Upon seeing this, Kainojirou cursed and then volunteered to Kainojirou: "Master, please let me lead the charge for you, probe the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, and pave the first path for you to dominate the Shinobi World!"
