Iwanin's Counterattack!

Land of Earth battlefield.

In the Stone ninja's new capture plan, although Watanabe's side had failed—and suffered a crushing defeat at that—that did not mean the Stone ninja had fallen into a disadvantage.

The reason Watanabe and the others had been utterly defeated was simply because they had run into the special case that was Doma Umaru. Though they were ninja who had once died in battle, and their intelligence had more or less all been exposed, making most of them fairly easy to deal with, there were still a few individual exceptions.

"Hey! Idiot! Don't be so reckless!"

"Heh heh hahaha! The side effects of my secret technique don't exist anymore, so why should I keep cowering? When it comes down to it, you're nothing
