Successful surprise attack

The troops marched for a day and two nights and successfully arrived at Menmen.

The advance troops were all at the Jonin level, even after resting for a few hours along the way.

With their all-out effort, they are now not too far from the border of the Land of Fire.

Having worked tirelessly for nearly 36 hours, Minato Namikaze, understanding the situation, did not order his troops to launch a surprise attack on the Rock Ninja group at this crucial moment.

Even Jonin need time to rest and recover their Chakra.

A secret camp on the border of the Land of Fire.

While munching on the somewhat unpalatable "Military Girl Pill," Yang Xing Minato Namikaze beside him and said, "Hey, Minato-sensei, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"What?" Minato Namikaze, who was deep in thought about the division of the upcoming battle, turned around absentmindedly when he heard Yang Xing's question.

"Wait, when the battle starts, I want to move freely. Minato-sensei, don't send any Jonin to watch me, or if I'm not here after the battle, don't look for me."

"This is a very dangerous time. Is something wrong?"

Nothing special happened, just spotted a few interesting people.

"Well, you managed to escape last time, and even the Tsuchikage couldn't do anything to you. Your strength is undeniable." Minato Namikaze paused for a moment, glanced at Yang Xing as he was about to leave, but didn't dwell on it. "Anyway, I'm still your teacher. It's best to be careful. If anything happens, you must contact me quickly."

"OK!"

Yang Xing left immediately after handing over the reins, seemingly not intending to stay with his first squad.

Minato Namikaze frowned slightly. Although he was puzzled by Yang Xing's discovery, the current situation of the all-out attack troubled him, preventing him from thinking too much. The vanguard was only about a hundred people, and even if they were all highly skilled ninjas, they would still be no match for the thousands of Rock Ninja.

It can only be described as a 50/50 victory or defeat.

At that time, many people in Konoha will surely die, and many will bleed and weep. Preventing such things from happening is what the Fourth Hokage must do now.

It was late at night.

Hidden inside the tent in the darkness of night, a man and a woman were unaware that they had been targeted by Yang Xing.

The excited boy had no idea how intense and realistic the battle that was about to begin would be.

He is now filled with the joy of showcasing his abilities.

"I heard they're launching an attack tomorrow morning. I'll make those people understand my power then." Asuma clenched his fist, speaking with confidence, "This war will definitely turn the tide because of my strength."

"Asuma, war is no joke. Let's stay back here and not go."

"Coward, if you don't want to go, you don't have to keep following me."

"Asuma!"

Seeing Asuma walk away into the distance, Kurenai Yuhi glanced around, afraid of being discovered, and could only follow quietly.

The night was very calm; the calm before the storm was an eerie calm.

Early morning, at the border of the Land of Fire.

When the morning light appears, it is the moment of dawn.

A group of people stealthily made their way through the woods toward Kusagakure, and the battle broke out silently.

That situation, which could escalate from a single point and quickly become uncontrollable, was something no one could control.

The Rock Ninja group never expected that Konoha's reinforcements would arrive so quickly, and that the force of over a hundred Jonin was an invincible power.

This shattered the peace of the thousand Rock Ninja, and the original Tsuchikage was injured. Without anyone to manage them, the Rock Ninja fell into chaos.

"Where is the Tsuchikage, Lord Tsuchikage?"

"Lord Tsuchikage is injured and cannot come."

"It's over. With that genius Fourth Hokage around and so many people, we can't possibly win."

Upon hearing that the Tsuchikage was gone, some ninjas lost their fighting spirit, especially when they saw their comrades being blasted into dust by Ninjutsu; the fear in their eyes was obvious.

Fire Style!

Lightning Release!

"Taijutsu!"

A Jonin on ten opponents in a sneak attack without any pressure. Coupled with the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God and extraordinary speed, even ten Jonin Iwagakure wouldn't be able to stop the legendary Fourth Hokage.

From the very beginning, the battle was one-sided.

It wasn't until one person appeared that the entire situation of the Rock Ninja changed.

"Fools, don't forget to hold your ground!" A fierce roar echoed through the sky, the Third Tsuchikage's voice resounding for miles, his gaze fixed on Minato Namikaze not far away. "I'm not dead yet, Fourth Hokage brat, this isn't a place for you to fool around."

Call!

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge rock flew into the air and crashed straight into Minato Namikaze.

Although Minato Namikaze avoided the Minato, the relentless impact of the stones forced Minato back.

"The Lord Tsuchikage is here! The Lord Tsuchikage is here! I won! We will win!"

"We're saved! With the Lord Tsuchikage here, we'll definitely pull through."

The crowd cheered, their fighting spirit suddenly rising, causing the group from Konoha to retreat.

Especially the Tsuchikage high in the sky at the very front, for some reason, had bloodshot eyes, clearly holding back a great deal of anger, about to erupt.

"You've been making such a ruckus while I was away. Don't think I've really been defeated by you."

With his hands raised high and then swung down forcefully, he unleashed his most powerful Kekkei Tōta.

"Dust Release: Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique."

The empty cube blocked the path of the Rock Ninja and Konoha ninja, enveloping a large portion of their Ninjutsu. All of the Ninjutsu turned to ashes in an instant.

This included a Jonin who failed to escape.

Without even a shout, it turned into atoms in the air.

At the same time, it created an opening for the vanguard of the Rock Ninja and Minato Namikaze, and no one dared to step into it, perfectly blocking the attack of the Jonin the Land of Fire.

The Tsuchikage's strength and Ninjutsu power have always been at the True Kage Level. The last time he was seriously injured by Yang Xing was only because he was careless.

His physique and Dust Release were in no way inferior to the Fourth Hokage's.

This unexpected turn of events brought the two sides face to face, and a tense atmosphere spread. In addition, many of them had suffered minor or major injuries from the previous battle.

The situation on the side of the hundreds of Jonin from Konoha was a complete mess.

The scene where a Jonin was instantly killed, in particular, shocked some people.

"No way, no way, that guy..." A boy watching from a distance, who had originally intended to rush over, was utterly shocked by that Ninjutsu: "That guy died in less than a second, our Land of Fire's Jonin just like that, just like that, so easily."

"Asuma, let's not go there. This is beyond our capabilities."
