Shita Genichi was not the only one who did not appear on the frontal battlefield.
The same goes for Namikaze Minato.
War is not only about the frontal battlefield, but also includes intelligence, supply lines behind enemy lines, and other fierce battles surrounding the frontal battlefield.
Of course, Shita Genichi does look relatively leisurely.
After returning from Land of Earth, it was as if I had entered a state of retreat.
Outside, Namikaze Minato and teacher Hatake Sakumo were very busy.
Time passes like this little by little, and Sunagakure advances little by little on Land of Fire.
In December, Sunagakure suddenly withdrew its troops from Land of Rain and turned to the battlefield on Land of Fire's side. Then in one fell swoop, it captured Kikyo City, an important town on the Land of Fire border, and occupied Mount Kikyo as a strategic location.
Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki of Iwagakure looked very ugly after hearing the news, and even had the urge to attack Land of Wind again.
But he still held back, stared at the map, and then decided to continue waiting for the opportunity.
Konohagakure.
At eight o'clock in the evening, in Konoha Hospital's laboratory, Shita Genichi was dissecting Third Raikage's body.
Next to him, there is Shadow Clone who is observing Third Raikage's cells using microscopes and other equipment, and there is also someone who is analyzing Third Raikage's genes.
One person is busy in a group.
There is no way, Tsunade they are still on the battlefield.
"Master Genichi, summoned by Lord Hokage!"
Suddenly, a Anbu Ninja appeared at the door.
Shita Genichi responded without raising his head, "I understand, I'll be there soon."
Anbu Ninja nodded, and then disappeared.
Shita Genichi created another clone to continue on his behalf, then took off his protective clothing and left the laboratory.
Within Hokage Office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not exchange too many greetings after seeing Shita Genichi, and said directly, "Genichi, Jiraiya's side has prepared a counterattack. You and Minato will lead a raid on Kirigakure's rear."
"We must defeat Kirigakure in one fell swoop!"
Shita Genichi took the order, "Understood!"
This is to repeat the plan that was carried out before.
Of course, the situation now is different from before.
Kirigakure learned a lesson and did not put supplies on the island this time, which was too far from the front line.
Instead, they were deployed close to the front line and heavily guarded.
And as the front moved forward, the supply areas also moved forward.
Although this will increase the pressure on logistics, because the war with Sunagakure is over and the troops are more abundant, the effect is better.
Although Konoha was extremely annoyed by their logistical harassment, they were not completely destroyed in one fell swoop like last time.
After explaining his plan in detail, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, "Genichi, can you do it?"
Shita Genichi thought for a while and said, "Determining Kirigakure's logistics base is very simple."
"It's no problem to break in from the air."
"But it will definitely be discovered immediately, so there won't be much time to prepare and arrange."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. "So the tactical goal this time is not to destroy Kirigakure's supplies, but to shake Kirigakure's front from the rear and create opportunities for Jiraiya and them."
"I have secretly increased our troops. As long as the Kirigakure defense line is defeated, it will be difficult for Kirigakure to retreat as calmly as last time."
Last time, it was actually Kirigakure who took the initiative to evacuate in an orderly manner after seeing all the logistics destroyed.
This time Sarutobi Hiruzen secretly increased the number of troops, and after the increase, the number of troops was kept hidden and did not appear on the battlefield for Kirigakure to notice.
It is to defeat Kirigakure head-on on the battlefield until Kirigakure collapses.
It can be said that this is a staged decisive battle!
Sarutobi Hiruzen takes a breath, intending to temporarily end the war with Kirigakure this year, and then gather forces to fight Sunagakure who has occupied Mount Kikyo after the year.
"It can be done."
Shita Genichi had an insight into Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan, thought for a while and then said, "We can bring Pakura with us in this operation."
"Scorch Release?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."
One is the power of Scorch Release, and the other is to awaken the Mist Ninja's fear of Scorch Release, and attack it psychologically and morally.
"Go get ready and set off with Minato tomorrow."
Sarutobi Hiruzen The last word.
Back in the laboratory, Shita Genichi had just put on protective clothing to continue studying Third Raikage's body, when a memory fed back by Shadow Clone appeared in his mind.
Huh?
Shita Genichi paused. "Kekkei Genkai?"
"Kyoka Suigetsu?"
Shita Genichi perked up. "Kyoka Suigetsu became Kekkei Genkai?"
He quickly walked to the side and sat down, lowered his eyes, and refined his chakra.
Yin Release property change + Water Release property change, and then a new property change was formed.
What escape is this?
Shita Genichi is also a little confused at the moment.
Kyoka Suigetsu itself is a Genjutsu. Of course, it is not just a Genjutsu with the changed properties of Yin Release, but it is performed with the help of Water Release.
It can be said to be the combined Genjutsu of Yin Release+Water Release.
Later, because the research on Izanagi could not change the terrible cost of Izanagi, Shita Genichi came up with the idea of further transforming and improving Kyoka Suigetsu, Genjutsu.
I never expected that Kekkei Genkai would appear.
In fact, under the inspiration of Pakura, Shita Genichi planned to try the technology-oriented development of Kekkei Genkai, but it did not focus on the technology of Kyoka Suigetsu.
But after the confusion, there was great joy.
A new change in chakra appears, and the cells that were already extremely active under the blessing of Soldier Secret Technique take the initiative to accept this new power.
The changes in my body are far better than when I first cultivated Ice Release.
After feeling the changes in my body, Shita Genichi felt more and more that I was on the right path.
Cell activity maintains the strong vitality of cells and has strong growth and evolution instincts.
There is also the technology-oriented development Kekkei Genkai, and Kyoka Suigetsu seems to be more representative than the previous Heavenly Eye.
As for what escape is called...
Shita Genichi thought for a while and thought to himself, "Just call it Kyoka Suigetsu!"
"It's like controlling the five senses."
"Like Kaguya Otsutsuki's many Kekkei Mōra, it only has the name of the move."
Kekkei Genkai-Kyoka Suigetsu!
As for the effect, it is quite different from the previous idea.
"Let's try the effect during the battle tomorrow..."
Shita Genichi got up and continued busy.
I am getting more and more motivated!
The next day.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Shita Genichi and Pakura met Namikaze Minato and the others at the entrance of the village.
But in addition to Namikaze Minato and the others, there is also Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who belongs to the team of Shita Genichi.
"Genichi, I didn't expect to be on a mission with you."
Uchiha Obito is very surprised.
Shita Genichi said hello with a smile, "Everyone, long time no see, it looks like things have changed a lot!"
Uchiha Obito looked at Shita Genichi and complained a little depressedly, "Hey, are you talking about yourself?"
"By the way, what did you eat and why did you grow so fast?"
As people of the same age, he and Kakashi are both about the same height.
But what about Shita Genichi?
He is over 1.7 meters tall, and he looks not much different from an adult young man like Namikaze Minato.
Shita Genichi spread his hands and said with a smile, "Who makes me a big eater?"
Nohara Rin couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing after hearing this.
Shita Genichi immediately joked, "Lin, she is getting more and more beautiful. I don't know who will be cheaper in the future!"
Nohara Rin blushed, but smiled generously, "It's still a long time!"
As he said this, he looked at the expressionless Kakashi out of the corner of his eye.
But Shita Genichi also noticed that Uchiha Obito was secretly looking at Nohara Rin.
As for Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Shinnosuke, their eyes fell on Pakura who was wearing a mask.
Not even Sarutobi Shinnosuke knows the identity of Pakura.
However, after noticing the gazes between the two of them, Shita Genichi did not introduce him.
The identity of Pakura can be recognized, but the identity of Pakura cannot be revealed.
Some things can be done but not said.
"Brother Minato, senior Shinnosuke, let's go!"
The teasing is over, Shita Genichi said.
Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded, and then set off together.
Shita Genichi and Kakashi chatted on the way.
Uchiha Obito saw that the conversation between the two was heated and jumped in. "Genichi, what tasks are you busy with and you are always missing?"
Kakashi immediately said coldly, "Idiot, Genichi is in Anbu, and all tasks must be kept confidential."
Uchiha Obito understood the mistake and quickly made up for it. "Can you tell me about this mission?"
Shita Genichi smiled and said, "You can talk about it."
"This mission is very important and is the key to the outcome of the Kirigakure war."
Uchiha Obito's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this. He liked this kind of task and quickly asked, "What is the content?"
"Is this a decapitation operation against the Kirigakure command?"
Kakashi's venomous tongue launched. "In a war like this, although the headquarters is important, it is not that important."
"Just beheading the headquarters obviously has no way to directly determine the outcome of a large-scale war."
Uchiha Obito was dissatisfied. "Smelly Kakashi, what do you think it is?"
Kakashi said calmly, "If it were so easy to know, I would be Jonin!"
Uchiha Obito curled his lips.
Kakashi added, "You Genin just obey the orders and don't hold back when the time comes."
Uchiha Obito Suddenly, the fist became hard again.
It was quite interesting to watch the two bickering Shita Genichi, and it wasn't boring at all while walking.
One o'clock in the afternoon.
Shita Genichi and others arrived at the battlefield and met the commander Jiraiya.
However, the action did not start immediately. After some exchanges, Shita Genichi and others began to rest.
After nightfall.
Everyone gathered together, but Nohara Rin was missing.
Nohara Rin did not participate in this operation, but she is now helping Medical Corps.
So, there are six people in total for this mission.
Shita Genichi, Pakura, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Namikaze Minato, Kakashi, Uchiha Obito.
Compared to the last team lineup, this time it doesn't look good enough.
But Pakura is Kekkei Genkai Jonin, which Kirito once hated.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Anbu Jonin, I am sixteen or seventeen years old this year.
Namikaze Minato, twenty-one years old, Yellow Flash, Konoha Jonin.
Kakashi, Chunin, but has the strength of Jonin.
Uchiha Obito and Genin are the weakest, but in fact they are still as strong as Chunin when taken seriously.
Well, it's really not comparable.
But there is no way.
Orochimaru is fighting against Land of Rain, and Uchiha Fugaku is also fighting against Iwagakure there.
Kizashi Mokume is serving as the commander of the border defense force, guarding against Iwa ninjas who may come from Land of Grass.
Of course, there are definitely more than just these elites in Konoha, but when there is a war on all sides, there are really not many people to choose from.
Shita Genichi feels like it's enough.
Under the slightly dim light, Shita Genichi spread out a simple map.
Shita Genichi pointed at the four red crosses above and said, "These four places are the logistics nodes of Kirigakure. All materials will enter here first and then be transported to the front line."
"In fact, this place is very close to the front line, less than 5 kilometers away, and Kirigakure's headquarters is still behind."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke said, "In other words, Kirigakure's logistics area is now surrounded by fog ninjas."
"Yes. One of our mission goals is these two logistics nodes."
Shita Genichi pointed at the two red crosses in the middle. "These two nodes are about 20 kilometers apart. In addition to the at least twenty guards at the logistics point itself, there are also rotating support troops of Mist Ninja stationed in the middle."
These are the situations he perceived with Heavenly Eye in the afternoon.
Under normal circumstances, knowing this information is of little use. Konoha does not have empty troops.
In other words, for ordinary ninjas, airdropping in is also a gift of food.
"There are many guards, and once a move is made, the fog ninjas at the front and behind will be able to react quickly, as well as the fog ninjas on the side, and even the fog ninjas at the back."
Namikaze Minato said with a solemn expression.
Shita Genichi nodded. "So, destroying the enemy's logistics alone will not actually have that big an impact on Kirigakure, because we cannot destroy everything at once."
"These two logistics points serve as the first goal and serve the second goal."
"In other words, destroying them is just to attract the enemy's attention and cause a certain amount of panic."
"The key to victory or defeat lies in the chaos and destructive power we create behind enemy lines."
"And once we launch, Lord Jiraiya will immediately launch a full-line attack after receiving the signal."
Shita Genichi slapped his palm on the map. "Our ultimate mission is actually to shake the enemy's front from the rear, so that we can quickly break through on the frontal battlefield, and then collapse the entire Mist Ninja line."
Uchiha Obito couldn't help but wonder, "This is very difficult. After all, we only have six people and our influence is limited."
Shita Genichi chuckled, "Obito, don't underestimate our power!"
"Okay, next is the specific tactical plan."
"These two points, I will lead the team to attack point A. After taking action, I will immediately attract the surrounding fog ninjas. After that, brother Minato, you will make a surprise attack on point B. After success, don't stop and come to point A to join us immediately."
"After that, we need to hold on to point A for a while and continue to attract the enemy."
At this time Kakashi asked, "If the effect is not as expected, for example, the fog ninja on the front line chooses to ignore the movement behind, this is possible."
Namikaze Minato nodded appreciatively. "Kakashi said it well. After the last incident, the Mist Ninja should have some countermeasures in this regard."
Shita Genichi nodded. "So, if it is not as expected, then we will take the initiative to launch an attack on the Mist Ninja front line."
Uchiha Obito couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this. "This... isn't this too crazy?"
Kakashi said venomously, "If you are afraid, don't go."
Uchiha Obito immediately frowned. "I'm not afraid, it's just... I just think such a plan is too amazing."
Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "Obito, it seems like a very crazy plan, but it is actually very feasible."
"Because if we take the initiative to attack the rear of the Mist Ninja front line, we will actually not face many enemies in a short period of time."
"As long as you don't stay in one place for too long, it won't be a big problem."
Shita Genichi nodded.
This battlefield is not like Iwagakure besieging Third Raikage and the others. Seven or eight thousand people form a dense encirclement, and the battlefield is very small.
The battlefields here are spread out over a wide area.
This can be seen from the fact that the logistics points of Kirigakure are so far apart and four of them are installed.
"Okay, that's the situation."
"The action will begin next."
Shita Genichi stood up and walked out of the tent first, followed by others.
Hand Seals and Shita Genichi summoned Tiger-Head Eagle with both hands.
Tiger-Head Eagle's body became bigger and bigger. Uchiha Obito stood there, not as tall as Tiger-Head Eagle's legs and feet. At this moment, he raised his head and exclaimed, "So... so awesome!"
"Everyone, come up!"
Shita Genichi jumped onto the back of Tiger-Head Eagle.
"Obito, let's go!"
Namikaze Minato shouted and jumped up.
When everyone came up, Shita Genichi said, "Tiger Head!"
Tiger-Head Eagle roared, then fluttered its wings into the air with a roar, and rushed into the dark night sky at a 45-degree angle.
Uchiha Obito was unable to stand firm and was almost blown away by the strong wind. Fortunately, he was caught by Namikaze Minato, who quickly used chakra to stick to Tiger-Head Eagle's back.
After reaching an altitude of 800 meters, Tiger-Head Eagle flew towards the destination.
Because the battlefield was in a vast forest, the Mist Ninjas did not deploy flying ninja beasts to guard the air.
At the logistics point, the nearby woods have been cleared, and the aerial view is good, so it is sufficient for people to be vigilant directly on the top of the trees.
Arriving above target point A, Shita Genichi first separated out a Shadow Clone, and then left Flying Thunder God marks on Pakura and Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
Then under Uchiha Obito's shocked eyes, Shita Genichi jumped off Tiger-Head Eagle's back and dived downwards.
The wind whistled in my ears, and Shita Genichi's waist-length hair was flying.
When he was a hundred meters away from the ground, the mist ninja who was on guard finally felt the whistling sound coming from above his head. When he looked up, his expression immediately changed.
"Enemy attack!"
"In the air!"
Several Mist Ninjas shouted one after another, immediately alerting a dozen other Mist Ninjas.
When he was less than a hundred meters away from the ground and less than fifty meters away from the mist ninja on the top of the tree, Shita Genichi put his hands together, opened his mouth and spat out, and a violent storm started.
Rumble!
The air currents are rolling.
On the top of the tree, the mist ninjas also launched attacks one after another.
Or use Water Release, which spits water jets to attack, or Fire Release, or Wind Release, more shurikens, and Kunai with Explosive Tag attached.
However, all these were blown away by Shita Genichi's Wind Style: Great Breakthrough.
Boom!
The sweeping air flow caused the big trees to sway, and then the air flow bombarded the ground, rolling up smoke and dust.
Fortunately, the warehouse was built with thick wood and was relatively stable, so it was not breached.
But this blow directly caused the fog ninjas to lose their sight.
After Shita Genichi used Wind Release, he immediately threw a Kunai and nailed it to the roof of a warehouse under the cover of strong wind and smoke.
When the fog ninja who tore through the smoke was looking for Shita Genichi, he had quietly appeared on the roof, and then held Hand Seals in his hands.
Flying Thunder God, Summoning Technique!
Bang bang!
Pakura and Sarutobi Shinnosuke on Tiger-Head Eagle's back were directly carried to the roof by Shita Genichi Summoning.
Phew!
The moment they appeared, Pakura and Sarutobi Shinnosuke disappeared from where they were.
"Ah!"
The mist ninja screamed, Sarutobi Shinnosuke drew his sword and killed one person instantly. At the same time, with a flick of his left hand, Kunai carrying Explosive Tag flew into the warehouse through the window.
"Here!"
The screams alerted the Mist Ninja, and he immediately discovered Shita Genichi on the roof.
The four mist ninjas were about to attack them, but their bodies froze, and their faces were twisted in pain. When they lowered their heads, they saw a fireball spinning between their chests and abdomen.
Shita Genichi disappeared from the roof. As his figure flickered, shrill screams rang out one after another, and the corpses of the fog ninjas fell one after another.
He held a sword in each hand, and Wind Release chakra flowed on it, shining with a blazing white light, which was extremely dazzling in the dark night.
"It's White Fang of Konoha!"
"Ah!"
Horrified shouts and screams sounded one after another.
From the moment Shita Genichi cast Wind Release, in less than two minutes, twenty fog ninjas were slaughtered by three people.
Immediately afterwards, several warehouses were blown up and set on fire, becoming blazing torches under the night sky.
In the air, after seeing Kakkō rising into the sky below, Shadow Clone of Shita Genichi immediately sent Tiger-Head Eagle to target point B.
With such a huge movement, the fog ninjas on the left and right sides of target point A were immediately alerted, and reinforcements quickly moved into action.
At the same time, the command headquarters in the rear were also alerted.
However, reinforcements were not sent immediately, but a reconnaissance team was dispatched.
Similarly, the fog ninjas on the eastern front were also alerted, but they also did not turn around and take care of it.
This is a plan that has been planned for a long time.
Shita Genichi, who sensed these situations, couldn't help but smile, "It seems that the Mist Ninja is very cautious!"
Kakkō was swaying in the sky. After a search, no fog ninja was missed. Pakura and Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who had last-hit everyone, came to Shita Genichi.
"The next step is to wait for the reinforcements from the Mist Ninja. As long as the reinforcements are dealt with, there will be commotion on the front line and there will be movement in the rear."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke Road.
Pakura looked to the east. "In fact, we can directly attack the Mist Ninja's front."
Shita Genichi shook his head. "We must first put enough psychological pressure on the fog ninjas, and then attack the front line to have a large enough effect."
Psychological warfare is also very important.
The movement behind them is loud enough, and the fog ninjas in front may think that there is a large-scale attack behind them, and become suspicious, thus shaking the entire front.
Jiraiya, who had secretly replenished their troops, charged again, and the Mist Ninja would easily collapse.
A distance of 10 kilometers is not a very long distance for a ninja who is marching in a hurry.
After waiting for a moment, Shita Genichi suddenly said, "Here we come!"
"The nearest distance is less than three miles!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Pakura immediately disappeared and hid in the darkness of the woods where Kakkō could not reach them.
Soon, a sound broke through the air.
On the left and right sides, mist ninjas arrived almost at the same time.
Under the illumination of Kakkō, Shita Genichi put his hands together, and the water droplets quickly condensed around his body to form a water flow that spiraled up, and then hit the fog ninjas coming from both sides like an overwhelming force.
The Mist Ninja is either Fire Release, or Water Release is spitting water jets to compete with Shita Genichi.
Water splashed and steam evaporated amid the roar.
Under Kakkō, Shita Genichi's figure looks a little distorted.
And a Mist Ninja who was good at Silent Killing Technique took the opportunity to appear behind Shita Genichi and stabbed Shita Genichi's body with a knife.
However, under the shocked eyes of the Mist Ninja, Shita Genichi turned around, but his body was not affected by the knife in any way, as if the knife had pierced into a falsehood.
But when it penetrates, it does feel like a real physical sensation.
"Genjutsu?"
The Mist Ninja reacted very quickly and immediately retreated.
But Shita Genichi reached out and grabbed his face, and then with a bang, the water surface exploded, the Mist Ninja's head hit the ground, he groaned and his skull cracked, and blood spurted out from his seven orifices.
"It's not Genjutsu..."
The fog ninja's consciousness freezes.
At this time, fire and water attacks came from the left and right, bombarding Shita Genichi's body at the same time, causing the water vapor to evaporate.
When the water vapor dissipated, Shita Genichi stood in place safe and sound.
"What's going on?"
"Did you use Substitution Technique?"
"This guy seems... to be Shita Genichi!"
The Mist Ninja was shocked, and became even more frightened after recognizing Shita Genichi.
And in the woods, screams also rang out.
It was the ambush Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Pakura who took action.
They let go of the Mist Ninja who arrived first, and then launched a sneak attack on the Mist Ninja who came behind.
And Shita Genichi, who tried the new Kekkei Genkai Kyoka Suigetsu, is very satisfied with the effect.
Whoosh!
He disappeared from the spot and suddenly appeared in front of a stunned Mist ninja. He grabbed his neck and cut it off with a snap, then threw him towards the other Mist ninja.
Looking at his companions flying towards him, the Mist Ninja knew that there must be murderous intent behind them, so he immediately gritted his teeth and dodged without paying attention.
But while the other person was in the air, Shita Genichi fell from the sky and stepped him into the water.
Suddenly, water surged from behind Shita Genichi, wrapping him around and restraining him like a whip.
Immediately, a fog ninja Body Flicker Technique arrived from the left and right sides, and Ninja Blade inserted himself into Shita Genichi's body, one on the left and the other on the right.
