Konoha 39, February 15th, morning.
After Stone Ninja rested for a day, he launched an offensive against Kannabi Bridge Outpost...
But... to no avail.
Although this time Stone Ninja launched the general attack as a group, and Roshi as Jinchuriki also rushed over, but...
Roshi wants to break the seal by himself like Torifu Akimichi, which means erasing Konoha's home field advantage... but he can't do it!
Konoha Before, three Uchiha Clan joined forces and could contain Roshi. Now Stone Ninja, no one can contain Akaseki and Gongzhi Jiu.
One Gongzhi Jiu can deal with several Stone Ninja's Jonin, and there are several Chunin that can match Stone Ninja Jonin's Konoha - after all, these Stone Ninja Jonin, most of them have just recovered and their strength is not complete.
Although Roshi of Complete Tailed Beast Transformation is stronger than Torifu Akimichi of "Super Multi-Size", Roshi simply can't break the seal as focused as Torifu Akimichi - after all, if he didn't go to the battlefield, Stone Ninja would be beaten too badly on the battlefield.
If "Rock Eel" is still there and several Jonin are not injured, the result will be completely different now, but now...
Roar--
Seeing Akaseki chasing Kitsuchi again, Roshi roared angrily and had no choice but to turn back and fight Akaseki.
Although Akaseki cannot win head-on, it wins because of its flexibility. Although it is more prominent after flying, there is no defense under its feet, but after flying into the air, the range of its flash and movement is also larger. With the huge body of Four-Tails, it is difficult to accurately attack the feet of Akaseki.
Roshi also thought about it in the middle, jumping directly into the battlefield to kill Konoha's ninjas - the battlefield meat grinder is what Jinchuriki should do!
But not only because of the existence of the seal, he couldn't fully use it, but also...
Akaseki doesn't care about this at all. As long as Roshi doesn't stare at him, he will stare at Kitsuchi and kill him!
Roshi obviously couldn't accept such an exchange, and ended up being restrained. In the end, he had no choice but to retreat in frustration...
"We retreated and held on for another day!" Gongzhi Jiu watched Stone Ninja leave and couldn't help but get excited.
Although Konoha Ninja suffered 30% to 40% damage in this battle, only 10% was completely dead. The other 25% could be recovered after treatment, half of which could restore 70% to 80% of combat power in a short time!
In addition, most of these seriously injured patients can survive. As long as they are defended here and reinforcements arrive, they can be sent back to the rear to receive more comprehensive treatment...
This is also the result of Akaseki's "Summoning Technique", plus the construction of Konoha Medical Unit, working together!
In contrast, Stone Ninja damage...
"Stone Ninja At a rough look, there should be thirty or forty people lost, and we don't know whether they are alive or dead." Akaseki also felt that this was a big victory. Gongzhi Jiu even waved his hand and said, "If you don't know whether you are alive or dead, you are dead!"
Although this was said with a Uchiha Clan-like optimism, but... Akaseki also recognized that not only did these people deserve to die, but they would also be of no use in the subsequent battles.
After all, Stone Ninja is now only half Medical Ninja...
The first aid and treatment capabilities that can be provided are very limited.
It can be predicted that after half a day, the strength comparison between Konoha and Stone Ninja will be reversed!
And...
"I'll try again!" Akaseki rolled his eyes and said impatiently.
After all, Akaseki's advantage of fast recovery must be brought into play!
Under the harassment of Akaseki, Stone Ninja was unable to take a good rest...
This is why ninja battles are all about fighting more and less attacking - usually on a large battlefield, small groups of both sides fight for several months, or even longer, to test each other out, and then there will be a wave of decisive battles on the big battlefield.
The purpose is to prevent the opponent's master from using his personal strength to too much damage to his own combat power! After several months of tug-of-war, both sides have basically figured out the strength of the other side, and have attracted everyone they can...
If you feel that all levels of combat power are capable of fighting, then you can fight.
If after a few months there is still no way to defeat the opponent's master, then you can withdraw...
As for directly daring to carry out a surprise attack, on the one hand, it requires a pure elite team and is not afraid of being beaten by enemy masters; on the other hand, it is also a risky tactical choice in itself...
Just like the raid plan formulated by Orochimaru half a year ago.
Stone Ninja's aggressive approach of relying on sheer strength to directly force Konoha to abandon its stronghold is undoubtedly taking a risk, and based on the current special situation, it is believed that Konoha is likely to choose to retreat.
However, now that the offensive momentum has been frustrated, Stone Ninja's raid immediately became weak...
Sure enough, Stone Ninja only organized another symbolic attack at noon on February 16th, and then retreated hastily, and... this time it completely retreated!
Probably Stone Ninja also understands.
With this period of time, enough Konoha reinforcements entered from Land of Fire to Land of Grass!
If you don't leave, you may be eaten alive by Konoha... Facts have proved that Roshi's judgment this time was accurate. That night, Torifu Akimichi had already led his elite troops to Kannabi Bridge Outpost.
"Akimichi Clan Jonin, luckily you arrived in time... Now it seems Stone Ninja has no chance!" Akaseki was very happy to see that Torifu Akimichi was here.
Firstly, Akaseki knows the strength of Torifu Akimichi and is trustworthy; secondly, it is better for a familiar Torifu Akimichi to come here than a strange Jonin to avoid the need for running-in.
"Sure enough... I knew Akaseki you would be able to hold on." Torifu Akimichi smiled.
Although the order they received was to "act with the camera" and if Akaseki had already withdrawn, they only needed to "receive" it, but Torifu Akimichi still went on the road with all its strength and was prepared not to fall.
"Hahaha, but this time Akimichi Clan you have to listen to Akaseki's command and stop dictating." Gongzhi Jiu said carelessly.
Torifu Akimichi:...
Why do you say it as if you have always obeyed orders before?
And... what does it mean to point fingers?
Akaseki:...
Akaseki rubbed the corners of his eyes - it seems that even the "familiar Torifu Akimichi" still needs to get used to the Uchiha Clan!
But Gongzhi Jiu is right... Although Torifu Akimichi is Elite Jonin, in theory Torifu Akimichi is only negative It is the responsibility of Land of Grass to hold the stronghold, and the overall coordination of Land of Grass is still done by Akaseki, so it is true that Kannabi Bridge Outpost is now controlled by Akaseki.
Amegakure and Iwagakure suddenly joined forces and caught Konoha by surprise.
Fortunately, "Iwagakure Countermeasure Force" was not caught off guard, and Orochimaru was not without a plan - after retreating, it still firmly held the "lifeline" of Konoha's frontline troops!
Although Amegakure and Iwagakure are unable to pose any further threat to Konoha due to their own agendas, but...
The biggest side effect of this move for Konoha is that it gives Sunagakure and Land of Wind confidence.
The war that was about to end is now about to get longer!
But for Konoha, there is also an unexpected surprise - Land of Grass actually defended...
Previously, the forces of Konoha in Land of Grass were all side branches of "Iwagakure Countermeasure Force", that is, they covered each other with the legions in Land of Rain, and were the main force to restrain Iwagakure from intervening in Land of Rain.
However, after this battle, this logic changed fundamentally!
The Konoha Ninja troops here at Land of Grass, and the "Iwagakure Countermeasure Force" of Land of Rain, have been separated, and now rely on Konoha to maintain the stability of Land of Grass's forces.
At the same time, the original effect of containing Stone Ninja has been greatly weakened after Stone Ninja and Rain Ninja colluded... The interests of Konoha and Land of Grass are large enough, and it is also a rare "Outsourcing pilot". Hokage Building wants to withdraw!
After all, on Land of Wind's side, Sunagakure seemed to be tenacious again, and the war was dragged back to "garbage time".
Fortunately, on Land of Grass's side, because the interests are large enough, even in this situation, Hokage Building decided to defend Land of Grass, which can be regarded as retaining a bridge to attack Land of Earth.
Therefore, in the territory of "Land of Grass", Konoha also established a new formation of "Grass Support Force", which added a lot of color to Akaseki's resume...
Theoretically, this is a second-level unit!
Although Akaseki did not experience any important battles in Land of Grass until another half year passed, in short, the resume of "Second-Level Unit Captain" in these six months was written into Ninja Handbook.
Half a year later, Akaseki, who had been at Land of Grass for a year, finally received a transfer order - to Land of Rain.
The content of the task, Akaseki is also very familiar with it...
Still responsible for monitoring!
"We are actually going to Land of Rain... Is the battle so fierce?" Akaseki couldn't help but shook his head after reading the transfer order.
I haven't returned to Konoha for a year, and it's not my turn to rest yet?
"It's not too intense, it's just... entanglement, tug-of-war, and fatigue." Guan Ze, who brought the order, sighed without hesitation. Akaseki, a unit that has always been on the second line, not fighting on the front line, has no such term as "rest" now. For ordinary ninjas, coming to Land of Grass is considered a "rest"!
With the "support" of Amegakure and Iwagakure, Sunagakure carried forward the spirit of "born in the sand sea and is indomitable", and stunned Konoha from the decisive battle rhythm back to garbage time...
In the past six months, Konoha has also suffered huge losses.
Of course, the biggest loss...
Also watch Land of Rain!
In the battle of "Hanzō vs Sannin", Konoha just bought time to retreat, and Hanzō regained most of the lost ground in one fell swoop...
However, not only did this fail to make the people of Land of Rain live and work in peace and contentment, but they once again fell into a chaotic war situation. Amegakure, no matter whether it is creditworthy or not, the taxes collected before must be repaid!
Now... the entire Land of Rain is completely destroyed.
Also on "holiday" with Akaseki was "Sannin" who became even more famous half a year ago. Although the three of them were not willing to accept this title, their battle with Hanzō made the three of them even more famous.
Orochimaru The three of them have also received orders at this time - they can put down the burden of commanding the troops and carry out some local tasks at Land of Rain... just think of it as a rest!
On this day, the three of them discovered several strange children. When they saw Konoha Ninja, not only did they not run away, but they actively approached...
