Crow Summoning Flute!

Kill!

Don't let these traitors escape!

Follow me!

Amid the chaotic cries, the Allied Shinobi Forces crossed the trench over ten meters wide and charged straight at the Tenshukaku forces in the rear.

The Tenshukaku shinobi, however, silently and calmly retreated under command.

No matter how elite they were or how well-equipped and supplied they might be, their numerical disadvantage was an undeniable fact. Facing the enemy head-on was the stupidest choice.

Therefore, making use of the defenses behind them was the best tactic.

The shinobi forces withdrew into the bastions, leaving only Uchiha Mei before the trench to face Konoha's many experts.

As for the Elite Jonin and Quasi-Kage from the smaller shinobi villages, they naturally followed the assault.

Ordinary shinobi would not take part in battles between experts, unless their own side lacked powerful fighters and had no choice but to use lives to hold the enemy back.

On the battlefield, soldiers fought soldiers, and generals fought generals. That was the unspoken rule.

Thus, with Uchiha Mei left alone, the ordinary attacking shinobi would automatically avoid her.

And for an expert, this distance made it easy to retreat at any moment. There was no way to surround her, so Tenshukaku was not worried.

Even if an accident did occur, the artillery could provide immediate support.

Slap!

A flute landed in Uchiha Mei's hand. Inaho had thrown it to her before withdrawing.

The Crow Summoning Flute!

A special ninja tool.

It had no offensive power, but it served one purpose.

The Summoning Technique!

Holding the flute sideways, Uchiha Mei began to play a special melody.

"Stop her!"

Though Tsunade did not know what Uchiha Mei was doing, she knew she had to stop her.

Whoosh!

She leaped with all her strength, reaching the air above Uchiha Mei.
