Danzo Flees the Battlefield

In the night sky, a bright white Signal Flare hung in the air, guiding the Konoha Ninja throughout the Camp in the direction of their actions.

In every battlefield, whether they held the advantage or were at a disadvantage, they all bravely forced back the enemy before them.

They were initially filled with uncertainty, but now they had a goal: the place where the Signal Flare had been launched.

Most of the Konoha Ninja still firmly believed that they had been caught off guard and that as long as they united around Danzo, they could still turn the tide.

With a single, unparalleled Chakra Enhanced Strength, Han obliterated a Konoha Ninja amidst a surge of steam. He then looked mockingly at Danzo, who was Danzo behind the Konoha Ninja, a muffled sound emanating from beneath his mask.

"Danzo, you were once a renowned ninja, yet now you only know how to hide behind others, lacking even the courage to step forward and First Shinobi World War me."

"The courage of a common man."

Danzo said dismissively, then formed hand Hand Seals and spat out a series of Vacuum Sphere.

Danzo truly lived up to his reputation as one of Konoha's top Wind Style ninjas; even ordinary Vacuum Sphere could be used to cut through gold and jade in his hands.

The two Rock Ninja, relying on their stone armor for defense, tried to withstand the Vacuum Sphere's attack, but the seemingly sturdy stone armor couldn't even last a second before being pierced through along with the ninjas.

Now no one dared to underestimate Danzo's Wind Release Ninjutsu.

This scene was also witnessed by the Konoha Ninja who were constantly arriving. Seeing their Commander effortlessly kill two Iwagakure ninjas, Konoha's morale was boosted for a moment.

While Danzo was still gathering all the Konoha Ninja in Camp Danzo, he probably didn't realize that there was a group of people in the Camp who couldn't be gathered – namely, the Medical Ninja and the wounded.

Medical Ninja are a group of people with extremely low combat strength. People like Tsunade and Taiichi are a rare breed, one in ten thousand. Asking them to abandon their Camp, which is protected by a protective Barrier, to go and join Danzo is like sending lambs to the slaughter.

More importantly, there are still a large number of wounded in the Medical Camp. Only a few days have passed since the last battle. The hundreds of lightly wounded ninjas have already left the Medical Camp, but there are still more than a hundred seriously wounded patients receiving treatment Camp.

How do you plan to get these patients to rejoin the main group?

However, there were some stubborn individuals among them. The Root ninjas, whether Medical Ninja or wounded, ignored the advice of others and insisted on following the Signal Flare to meet up with Danzo.

They not only insisted on going themselves, but also demanded that the other ninjas in the Medical Camp go, saying that it was Danzo Danzo's order and that ninjas had to obey orders, etc.

Fortunately, the person in charge of the Medical Camp was not Root ninja. Otherwise, if he were like those single-minded Root ninja, the entire Medical Camp would have perished here today.

"Kato Jonin, please open the Barrier immediately. I don't care if you stay here, but we must reach Danzo." A Root Medical Ninja said righteously, completely disregarding the fact that Iwagakure ninjas were attacking the Defense Barrier the outside.

"Kawayan, can't you see the Iwagakure troops outside? We should be here waiting for rescue, not going out to our deaths."

Kato Jonin also furious. These Root ninjas were always unruly, and now they were just making things worse. Didn't they know their own limitations? They wanted to die but dragged everyone else down with them; it was utterly unreasonable.

Nonō followed Jonin the Jonin Kato. She looked at the Camp engulfed in Kakkou. The chaos caused by the Iwagakure ambush had not diminished at all, and shouts of battle were heard everywhere.

The protective Barrier around the entire Medical Camp is already quite weak. Outside the Barrier, Iwagakure Ninja are constantly releasing Ninjutsu. At this rate, the Barrier will likely collapse in five minutes at most.

Holding the special Flying Thunder God Kunai Taiichi given to her by Nonō, Nonou was extremely conflicted, wondering whether she should call Taiichi over now.

At this moment, Konoha was not without the power to resist. After all, this was Konoha's Camp, and Konoha had the advantage in both numbers and terrain. As long as Konoha recovered, forcing back these Iwagakure Ninja would be a piece of cake.

If Taiichi were summoned at this time, it would be difficult to explain later. After all, Danzo's relationship with Taiichi is not like that of Orochimaru and Jiraiya. If they were caught red-handed, they would be dealt with severely.

Just Nonō had given up on calling Taiichi, a bright flash of light, accompanied by a rumbling explosion, came from the direction of the central army.

Everyone in the Medical Camp, including Nonō and the Root ninjas, looked in shock in the direction from which the explosion had come.

The explosion, the location, and the large number of Konoha Ninja who had just gathered there sent a chill down everyone's spine. Konoha's Western Camp was finished!

At this moment, Nonō could no longer care about anything else. She clenched the Kunai in her hand, and her Chakra directly triggered the seal within.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment; in Nonō's perception, this moment felt like an eternity.

Until Taiichi's figure suddenly appeared in front of her, her anxious heart miraculously returned to her chest.

The moment Taiichi appeared, his Chakra Perception swept across the surroundings without reservation, and the scene of most of the Camp instantly fell into his perception.

At this moment, Taiichi couldn't help but curse Danzo. He was more trouble than he was worth. What kind of person could possibly turn a Camp into this mess?

Taiichi's appearance also drew everyone's attention away from the explosion.

The sudden appearance of a ninja naturally aroused everyone's vigilance, even though he was dressed as a Konoha Ninja.

"Lord Kato, and everyone else, this is Taichi Matsushita, the helper I called." Nonō immediately explained, not wanting to cause any misunderstanding with Taiichi and the others at this moment.

"Taichi Matsushita?" As Medical Ninja, Kato not only knew Taiichi's Daimyo but had also seen him frequently before, only stopping after the war began. He never expected Nonō to be able to summon Taiichi directly; was this the Flying Thunder God Technique?

"Taichi Matsushita!"

"White Reaper!"

"The Konoha Twin Terrors!"

Exclamations of surprise rang out frequently. Taiichi's reputation was no longer limited to the battlefields of the North and South; he was now a well-known figure throughout the entire Ninja World.

"Director Kato, it's been a long time." Taiichi greeted him simply, glanced around at the almost vanished Barrier, and then stopped with pleasantries.

"Director Kato, open an exit so I can get out." Taiichi's words were calm and composed, yet they revealed boundless confidence.

At this moment, Jonin Kato did not hesitate, nor did he need to hesitate. Since things had come to this point, he could only choose to trust Taiichi. He One-Handed Seal, and an exit that could only be passed through one person at a time appeared on the Barrier.

Outside, the Iwagakure Ninja had already noticed the commotion inside, saw the Barrier open and immediately rushed in excitedly.

Instead, they were met with a Bright Gold Flame Slash.

Wherever the Flame Slash, swords were blocked and shattered, people were torn apart, and Taiichi followed closely behind the Flame Slash, rushing straight out of the Barrier.

After Taiichi left the Barrier, the Barrier behind him immediately closed. Taiichi immediately released the Yin Seal and used Shadow Clone. Six Shadow Clone containing the Chakra Quantity Taiichi at his peak appeared around him.

Four of them immediately charged towards the surrounding Iwagakure as soon as they appeared, like tigers among sheep. Few Iwagakure Ninja could last more than two rounds against them.

With such a powerful figure leading the way, the four Shadow Clone clones quickly gathered around a number of scattered Konoha ninjas, which made their strength grow stronger and stronger.

The other two didn't go far either; they stayed around the Medical Camp, dealing with the Medical Camp Iwagakure Ninja were blindly heading towards it.

As for Taiichi's true form, he spread his wings, took off, and flew straight to the most chaotic and tragic part of the battlefield.

"That's Taichi Matsushita, the White Reaper of Konoha? He's really... amazing."

Someone couldn't help but exclaim, and it immediately resonated with many ninjas. They were more than just powerful; compared to them, they were practically on a different level.

Those Chunin Iwagakure were easily dispatched by him with a single strike, and even a Jonin was killed by Taiichi in the brief encounter.

This allowed the Konoha Ninja, who had been on tenterhooks since the start of the battle, to breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at the chaotic scene around me, an idea popped into my head: perhaps the Camp could still be saved.

On the central side, Han had just seized the opportunity to unleash a Tailed Beast Bomb at Danzo and the others who were nearby. At such close range, even Han himself was not in good shape.

The shockwave doesn't discriminate between friend and foe. If the explosion point weren't closer to Konoha and if his side hadn't been intentionally protected, he wouldn't have dared to use such a technique that would kill a thousand enemies but also harm eight hundred of his own.

Right now, there are Konoha's wounded everywhere. Although our side has also suffered injuries, it is much better than Konoha's.

Looking around, Han couldn't find any trace of Danzo, nor could Jonin find the Jonin who was with him.

"Did they abandon their companions in the village and run away?" Han muttered to himself, his eyes taking in every inch of the land.

In the mental space, the Five-Tails Kokuō, gave a direct answer, "He escaped. I can feel his Chakra rapidly dissipating."

"Haha, Konoha Ninja, your Commander has abandoned you and fled! Give up resistance and surrender!"

These words struck like a heavy hammer against the still fragile hearts of the Konoha Ninja. They searched carefully left and right, but could not find Danzo.

A profound fear spread through the room. They were not afraid of fighting or sacrificing themselves, but they were terrified of being abandoned.

Just as everyone was about to give up resistance, the sky suddenly brightened. Attracted by the light, everyone involuntarily looked up and saw a dazzling flash of a blade.

Bright Gold blade of light spanned dozens of meters, slashing down from the sky, its target being Han, who was Partial Tailed Beast Transformation.

The Han below was not afraid. It directly manipulated its three tails to form a protective wall, trying to block the Flame Slash.

However, in the Mind World, the Five-Tails Kokuō was roaring madly, "Fool, don't take it head-on, run!"

Although he didn't understand why Kokuō was so wary, Han, knowing that Kokuō wouldn't harm him, immediately jumped back and retreated.

However, reality is rarely that easy. Since your first reaction was wrong, how many chances will you have to correct it?

With a "whoosh," the two tails snapped off. The intense flames grazed Han's face, and although they didn't directly hit his body, the scorching heat still ignited his clothes. Even his exposed skin emitted a fragrant aroma from the heat of the flames.

"Ah!" This was Han's scream as a large amount of steam billowed from his body, extinguishing the flames.

However, he was fast, but the others didn't have his reaction and speed. Two Jonin standing Jonin to him only made a blocking stance before being cut in half by this slash. They died without understanding how the attack came from the sky.

Taiichi's appearance was incredibly timely and impactful! It shattered the invincible image that Han had just established in the hearts of the Konoha Ninja, pulling Konoha Ninja back from a low point of confidence to their pre-battle state.

So what if Jinchuriki? They still get beaten to a pulp by our Konoha Ninja.

"You are... Taichi Matsushita? What are you doing here?"

The Jinchuriki's powerful regenerative abilities had healed Han's burns. Looking at the Jonin two, not far in front of him, he felt both Yukiya and angry. Fortunately, he had retreated a step earlier, otherwise he would have been one of the corpses on the ground.

Taiichi slowly descended, making sure all the Konoha Ninja present could see him. This was both a deterrent and a way to boost the morale of the Konoha Ninja, who had been beaten too badly before.

"I, Taichi Matsushita, can go wherever I want. Do I need to report to you?"

Taiichi stood at the very front of the group, and the Konoha Ninja who had recovered from the explosion gathered behind him.

"As for you, Hanba, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki! You attacked my Konoha Camp, you won't be leaving tonight!"

These words were so powerful that the already demoralized morale immediately began to rise again, and everyone stared fiercely at the Iwagakure Ninja opposite them with hateful eyes.

In his Mind World, Kokuō sensed the aura emanating from Taiichi and felt inexplicably nervous.

"Han, that's enough. We've already achieved a great deal today. I have a bad feeling about Taichi Matsushita. Besides, the Konoha ninjas have recovered. If we delay any longer, we might not be able to escape safely."

Han turned and looked around. Because of the earlier delay, more and more Konoha Ninja were gathering here. He knew that Kokuō was right; it was time to retreat.

Taiichi also saw through Han's intentions, but how could he let you retreat so easily? If you could come and go as you pleased in Konoha's Camp, what would become of Konoha's reputation?

So, before Han could utter any harsh words, Taiichi Body Flicker rushed forward, slashing and blocking with his Short Sword, and subdued Han in just a few moves.

At this point, Han disregarded all pretense of saving face and directly ordered, "Send the signal to retreat."

The Rock Ninja behind them knew the situation was urgent, so they immediately took out Signal Flare and released it into the sky.

A crimson Signal Flare soared into the sky with a whistling sound, signaling all the Iwagakure Ninja to retreat immediately.

Of the vast Konoha Camp, only the Medical Camp and the central army area were under Taiichi's control; the Konoha Ninja in other areas remained in chaos, which allowed most of the Iwagakure to withdraw smoothly.

On Han's side, after covering the retreat of the other Iwagakure around him, he unleashed his true self, Complete Tailed Beast Transformation and becoming a colossal creature tens of meters tall.

Just when Taiichi thought he was going to go all out, he unexpectedly took off and ran wildly.
