The Mist Ninja frontline battlefield,
An army of five thousand Mist Ninja packed the forest, swarming through it like ants,
The forest terrain made it difficult for the Mist Ninja to form ranks, so they had to spread out and weave through the trees with their nimble bodies.
Yugito led the Cloud Ninja forces at an even greater speed, charging like a sharp spear straight into the heart of the Mist Ninja army.
Unable to form any sort of formation, the Mist Ninja were easily breached, let alone able to surround their enemies.
The forest divided the armies into separate sections, and the Cloud Ninja and Mist Ninja split into small groups and began fighting across a series of skirmishes.
"Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique!"
A hundred Mist Ninja joined forces and used the Hidden Mist Technique. In the next instant, a dense fog blanketed almost the entire battlefield, spreading like a flood.
Clearly, the Mist Ninja had made some strategic preparations. They at least understood that their assassination techniques gave them a considerable advantage in small-scale skirmishes.
After all, not every ninja could locate people by sound the way the Mist Ninja could.
The Mist Ninja also deliberately split the Cloud Ninja squads apart, leaving them isolated.
As the Hidden Mist Technique spread, the already fragmented battlefield became a collection of small worlds shrouded in fog, where fierce battles broke out.
Screams, shouts, and the sounds of weapons piercing flesh rang through the thick fog, creating a bizarre and terrifying scene straight out of a horror movie.
With the Mist Ninja capable of silent assassination, the Cloud Ninja were at a disadvantage in the poor visibility and suffered heavy casualties.
"Rat Tail Bomb!"
A blue fireball streaked across the battlefield, easily burning several Mist Ninja to ashes.
