"Bah!"

Viciously, Hidan, who had just escaped from the battle group and was surrounded by his subordinates, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then continued to look at the opposite side viciously.

During the chaotic battle, as the leader, he naturally received special attention from Konoha Ninja, so that in a very short period of time, several of his subordinates who were originally responsible for guarding him were killed.

In addition to being hit by several quick-release escape techniques in an instant, he was also forcibly pulled out of a piece of flesh and blood from his chest by the Jonin captain Konoha. If he hadn't retreated quickly, then it wouldn't have been a piece of flesh...

"Straight bitch! Most of these people are obviously ghosts!"

He looked at the Konoha Ninja who were pressing down on his subordinates with an ugly face, roaring angrily in his heart,

"Has the gap between the Great Ninja Villages actually reached this level!?"

Unfortunately, the gap between the two sides is so huge. Not long after the war started, Hot Water Ninja's attack was firmly suppressed by Konoha Ninja. Now they have to get back together and use the surrounding terrain and local numerical advantage to defend against Konoha Ninja's attack.

But if nothing changes, they will only be eaten away slowly. After all, Konoha is not a fool. In this case, they now let the masters attack the front line. As long as they can open a hole, Hot Water Ninja's last efforts will be over...

"Chief!"

A subordinate standing behind Hidan suddenly spoke,

The gap between them is really too big. Now it seems that our original idea is meaningless at all. Without us, the village under the control of those people has no future."

"..."

Hearing what his subordinates said, Hidan suddenly stiffened. Originally, everyone had the same opinion regarding this battle, that is, they should never use those 'things', even if they die in battle.

Unexpectedly, after seeing the difference between Yugakure and Konoha, other people immediately had different ideas...

But what position does he have to criticize? He himself is tempted...

"You know, once we use it, we will no longer be Yugakure ninjas, and the village will probably perish as a result."

Looking back, he looked at his subordinates with a complicated expression, and at the same time he was trying to convince himself.

"Won't you regret it? This is too far from our original goal."

"But chief, the village is dead! As you can see, Konoha only needs some ghosts to deal with us."

The subordinates looked at the people they respected most with some unbearability, but more importantly, they showed disdain for certain people.

"After the Konoha Ninjas appeared, we should have understood that it is not too late. We still have a chance. We are here for Land of Hot Water. Since the village can no longer play its role, it would be better if it disappeared."

"Everyone thinks so?"

Hidan smiled bitterly, there is no turning back...

However, he also understood that he was not 100% insistent on his original idea, otherwise why would he have accepted the "support" from those people in the first place? However, he did act with the purpose of letting Yugakure regain his dignity in Shinobi World.

"Chief, I don't want to lie to you. Except for you, we have not taken this village seriously for a long time. We are standing here now because of you, leader, not because of these trash in the village!"

The subordinates sneered from the corners of their mouths. They all respected Hidan, but they had really given up on the village.

"Even if they remain neutral, we won't be so disappointed. Now that they've done everything they can to cheat people, there's no hope for this village!"

"But..."

Hidan was still a little hesitant. He looked into the field again, but the scene in front of him was really not pleasing to the eye.

"We still have nearly a hundred people. If there are fewer of them, even if we want to use them, they won't be useful."

The subordinates started urging anxiously, because just as these words were being said, several more Hot Water Ninjas had died under the attack of Konoha Ninjas on the periphery...

"Chief, think about it, does it matter if the village can have the whole Land of Hot Water!? And there are too many places where a leader is needed. He will only reuse the leader. When you get there, we can still continue our ideals."

"Damn it!"

Hidan cursed bitterly. The words of his subordinates made him feel very uncomfortable. He had thought that everyone had the same idea and he had managed to get to this point. But now that he knew the truth, as the leader, he had no reason to let these loyal subordinates die because of this rotten village.

"Everyone, gather!"

He finally made a decision and yelled,

"Get ready to dress!"

"Chief, time will prove that your decision is correct."

Hearing that Hidan finally made a choice, this subordinate finally breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, his "mission" was completed...

"The leader has an order! Everyone, dress up!"

He roared equally loudly, and his voice was transmitted to every companion without any hindrance in this excessively noisy environment.

"Those in the rear, use ninjutsu to clear the area! Buy time for the brothers in the front!"

Following this roar, the already endangered Hot Water Ninjas suddenly felt strange. They showed expressions of astonishment and surprise at first, and then ecstasy!

It seems that the leader has made a decision, and they finally no longer have to be loyal to this rotten village!

"Dress up! Get dressed up!"

They roared happily, and the Hot Water Ninjas who were on the second line immediately began to collectively Hand Seals.

"Fire Stream Barrage, put it!"

Suddenly, a large number of fireballs were seen rising rapidly from behind the Hot Water Ninjas, heading towards the Konoha Ninjas with extremely high frequency and density.

Yugakure's Fire Style technique is naturally far inferior to the Konoha style Fire Style technique represented by the Uchiha Clan in terms of power, but it is better in terms of quantity. The attack frequency was fast, and Hot Water Ninja was unleashed collectively this time, with more people and greater strength. The Konoha Ninja who originally planned to encroach on Hot Water Ninja's front line step by step, had no time to defend themselves, and immediately suffered a loss and retreated one after another.

But in this way, Hot Water Ninja's goal will be achieved.

As soon as Konoha Ninja retreated, the first people to make a move were the Hot Water Ninjas on the front line. They all took out a scroll from their arms and pulled hard!

The white smoke, with the "bang bang" sound, formed into a large scale, even temporarily, covering all the figures of Hot Water Ninja.

This strange scene made the ninjas on the Konoha side feel a chill subconsciously. The people who had rushed up again stopped and looked at the scene in front of them with some confusion. They had never seen such a situation even when they were fighting against big ninja villages like Rock Ninja and Sunagakure Ninja.

"Stop, don't move!"

Qi, who was also regarded as having the ability to "attack difficulties" in his own camp and was placed on the front line, immediately grabbed hold of Shisui who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to rush forward.

Get up, Shisui, this guy was clearly sent here by his family to get some experience. They had been surrounding this guy in the center just now. Unexpectedly, if they weren't paying attention, he would want to run away again...

He is really ignorant and fearless, and he doesn't even look at this place. This kind of chaos is such that no real expert dares to guarantee that he is fine. He is a ghost. If it weren't for him, Kakashi and Obito were protecting him like nannies, he would have been chopped into pieces!

"This is not a training ground, people will die!"

With a swipe of his hand, Qi pushed Shisui to Obito's side. At the same time, he glared at Obito. The meaning was obvious: Keep a close eye on your brother!

"Something seems wrong..."

Glancing at Qi with some embarrassment, Obito grabbed Shisui's arm on one hand, and on the other hand, looked at the unclear figure of Hot Water Ninja in front of him with a suspicious expression. Sharingan's keen insight made him aware of the abnormality.

"Well..."

Qi nodded, with a solemn look on his face. In the white smoke in front of him, there was a "smell" that made him feel very uncomfortable. Hot Water Ninja's chakra seemed to have changed, or there seemed to be something extra...

Finally, the white smoke quickly dissipated, but what appeared in front of everyone surprised Konoha Ninja!

The Hot Water Ninjas who were originally wearing Yugakure standard ninja uniforms were now wearing a strange kind of armor. What's even more outrageous is that the weapons in their hands turned out to be a huge shield and a black, shiny spear!

"How is that possible!? They are..."

Obito on one side was the first to exclaim. He, who has become the family's key training target, naturally knew what it was. Then, one after another exclamations came from Konoha Ninja's side. It was obvious that he was not the only one who recognized this outfit.

"Obito, do you know him? Tell me what on earth is this!?"

Qi was a little annoyed. He didn't know him. Seeing the people next to him yelling one after another, it was really a shameful thing, because judging from their performance, this seemed to be something serious.

Of course, if this was true only from the perspective of chakra, he could clearly feel that those equipment were not ordinary things or materials, but seemed to have something attached to them...

"This is the standard equipment of Prefecture Guard! These Hot Water Ninja are Prefecture Guard!"

Kakashi answered Qi's question. Although he didn't yell, he showed a wry smile.

"If things get serious, I'm afraid we won't be able to take action against them."

"Prefecture Guard? What the hell!?"

Qi became even more angry,

"Why can't we take action? Please give us more details!"

"Don't you understand yet?"

Kakashi's eyes seemed to be looking at monsters,

"The so-called Prefecture Guard is Daimyo's Residence's army, which is a private army directly belonging to the daimyo of each country. In the Shinobi World war, Prefecture Guard of another country cannot take action. Once Prefecture Guard goes to war, it means that the country is participating, not the ninja village."
