PS: This chapter makes up for the missed update on the day of leave in the first grade of junior high school. The author cannot be completely self-satisfied when writing a book, but he cannot be completely independent. After all, I am a street writer. It is difficult to control it reasonably and write perfect content like those great authors. As a street writer, I can only say that I try my best to find a balance. While sticking to my own things, I also try my best to meet the needs of readers. I still hope that all readers can support me more! I bow to express my gratitude and please subscribe, thank you!
Now that he has made up his mind, there is nothing to hesitate about. In the rear position, his own Lord Tsuchikage has also sent an extra thousand troops to respond. This is also the limit of the force that Ōnoki can dispatch when it is necessary to ensure the safety of the southern and eastern fronts and to leave a certain amount of strength in the village.
Counting from before the war, as of now, Iwagakure has dispatched more than 8,000 troops to the southeastern front, accounting for almost half of Iwagakure's combatable troops. On this basis, if there is no way to expand the results, the most correct choice is to stop at the right time, when everything is ready.
After the meeting dispersed.
Akatsuchi, together with Arai, gave priority to leading the wounded, medical personnel, and some logistics personnel in the stronghold as the first batch of evacuators, leaving Mount Wuyuan Base. As the high-point passages on both wings of the stronghold are still under their own control, the evacuation of these personnel will be relatively easy, and they will not be interfered or even blocked by Konoha's side.
But when the high points on both wings are under great attack pressure, it is impossible to hide such a large-scale personnel retreat from the investigators on the Konoha side, not to mention that there were full-field auxiliary personnel like Hyuga Clan from the beginning. It can be said that almost as soon as Iwagakure Ninja in Mount Wuyuan Base makes any movement, the Konoha side is aware of it!
Shikaku who received the news report.
Countermeasures were taken immediately.
Under the approval of Jiraiya.
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh!"
Konoha's main force in the main camp came out in full force. Shikaku's original plan was to launch a general attack after seizing the high points on both wings. Now, although the timing is a little off, since the opponent plans to retreat, the situation has already fallen into their Konoha hands. Shikaku has no reason to let go of such an opportunity.
Thousands of Konoha Ninja walked straight across. Apart from the wounded and necessary garrison personnel, Shikaku almost ordered his own troops to go out with all their strength. As for whether this was a plan by the opponent or something.
Under the radiation of Byakugan, Shikaku is fearless. In the final analysis, this is the most important role played by the Hyuga Clan in the three Shinobi World War. You need to have more than a dozen Hyuga Clan and Jōnin on the battlefield. Basically, it can ensure that all corners are covered. You can defeat me on the frontal battlefield, but it is absolutely impossible to ambush and attack me!
Unless you carry out a large-scale monster circle, but even so, as long as the encirclement is narrowed to a certain distance, Byakugan will definitely detect it, and that distance is 100% Mukade enough for the Konoha commander to make any reaction.
Byakugan's role in the war is so buggy!
Shikaku made full use of the powerful investigation effect of Byakugan. This is why in the previous confrontation, Iwagakure Ninja's side still suffered some losses even with the strength of Shōji and Akatsuchi. They are more than one step ahead in information collection, and their tactical arrangements and strategic shifts can always be one step ahead of them or even more!
In such a situation, there will still be such a kill and damage ratio, which can be regarded as an exceeding standard performance by Shōji and Akatsuchi. Every move of Iwagakure Ninja, as long as it is in the frontal battlefield, cannot escape the detection of Byakugan.
Large force operations covering the area.
The focus is still on seizing the high spots on both wings.
Then there is the tactic of concentrating the force center to break through. Just as Shōji and Kitsuchi predicted before, Shikaku's core goal is to give priority to recapturing Mount Wuyuan Base and completely destroying this Iwagakure Ninja army. Shikaku has considered it, but the difficulty is indeed not low, and it is very likely that a very heavy price will be paid.
This is definitely not what Shikaku wants, so he uses this method to put pressure on the Iwagakure Ninja side little by little, making them unable to bear it, and then actively retreat. In this way, they Konoha can not only take back Mount Wuyuan Base more easily, but also find opportunities to severely damage this Iwagakure Ninja army. This is Chi Guoguo's conspiracy!
Tactics based on absolute strength.
Kitsuchi and Shōji can also see through this, but the same is true that Konoha may be able to withstand the heavy casualties of five thousand people, but Iwagakure Ninja finds it difficult to accept it. This is the background problem of the two great ninja villages. Perhaps The Iwagakure Ninja side can indeed take a gamble. When they increase their chips on the gambling table, the Konoha side will also take the initiative to back down a little. However, the uncertainty of doing so is too high, and the risks involved are enough to make even a bold actor like Ōnoki hesitate.
Shikaku seized this opportunity.
I will use absolute power to confront you head-on.
Let Gekko Zen'yoku and another senior Jōnin from the Akimichi Clan serve as commanders of the two-wing spread troops to lead the battle on both sides.
Shikaku himself accompanied Jiraiya, leading more than three thousand Konoha Ninja to attack Mount Wuyuan Base's position all over the sky.
It's a final battle that both sides know very well.
The situation was completely reversed from half a month ago when the Iwagakure Ninja side attacked Mount Wuyuan Base. This time, the Konoha side took the advantage.
"The response is really fast, Konoha!"
Kitsuchi, who was standing in the highest position of Mount Wuyuan Base, looked at the huge Konoha Ninja army that was a few miles away in a long snake formation and was surging like a tide. Kitsuchi's face revealed a ray of extreme solemnity.
Then he looked at Han at the side and said, "Han Sang, I'll leave it to you for the first wave!"
"Well, leave it to me!"
Han nodded heavily and responded with a loud voice.
As the two major Tailed Beast Jinchuriki in Iwagakure, although Han and Rōshi are not as good as Yugito and Killer B in Kumogakure Jinchuriki is as perfect as, but years of training have allowed Han and Rōshi to unleash the power of Five-Tails and Four-Tails to the greatest extent.
"Boom!"
One person can defeat a thousand troops!
This is definitely not a joke, but a real level of power that Tailed Beast should have. Under the instructions of Kitsuchi, the moment the ninja army on the front line of Konoha appeared, an extremely thick dark red Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak spread out on Han's body, wrapping it up.
Five scarlet tails emerged from the position behind him.
"Crack!"
The imprint that was made immediately.
"Boil Release—Ocean of Steam!"
It was like roaring words.
"Boom!"
On the surface of the earth, a huge wave of air evaporated instantly, and when it was rising, this burning feeling spread rapidly.
"!?"
"This!?"
A condensed terrifying cyclone.
In the position where the Konoha Ninja army was advancing, the moment it suddenly appeared, this cyclone suddenly expanded and exploded under one contraction.
"Boom!"
"Uh-huh!"
When it explodes.
The terrifying heat wave spread out all of a sudden. The moment Jiraiya in the center noticed it, his brows suddenly furrowed.
"Spread out!"
Those were the words that were immediately shouted loudly.
But after all, it is still a little slower.
"Ah!?"
"So hot!"
"Damn it!"
"Ah!?"
"Huh!?"
For the Konoha Ninjas rushing in the front position, Jōnin can still react more or less, and dodge, or immediately use the Earth Release technique to forcefully move up. In the area covered by this technique, Konoha Ninjas below Chunin, especially those in the central area, were unable to make any effective response at all.
It goes so far as to say that as long as it is too close to the center point of the technique, even Jōnin will have a hard time escaping in the first place.
The moment he was involved in the technique.
The surface of each one suddenly turned red, as if the outer skin had been carefully peeled off, and the ripe body seemed to have entered the fiery magma, and the wailing sounds came out one after another.
"Damn it!"
"Water Release—Great Waterfall Technique!"
"Water Release—Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Water Release—Water Explosion Technique!"
Some Konoha Ninja plan to directly use Water Release techniques to dissipate this 'steam heat wave'!
However, this is obviously the wrong choice.
"Hmph!"
Facing Li Han's position above, his expression was already wrapped in a layer of dark red, with a slightly crazy expression.
"Explode!"
The words that came out loudly.
"Boom!"
That was another roar that exploded one after another!
"Ah!?"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The secondary damage caused further severely damaged the Konoha Ninjas at the forefront. In less than a few seconds, this magical bombardment had already caused dozens or even more casualties.
"Up!"
It is also at this appropriate time.
One after another, Iwagakure Ninja figures flew out.
"Earth Release—The Art of Explosion!"
"Earth Release - Earth Collapse Technique!"
"Earth Release!"
"Earth Release!"
The Earth Release technique was released concentratedly in an instant. It was a powerful attack technique that covered the geographical environment that was intended to be forcibly changed.
In the rear position.
Shikaku didn't show any panic at all. This was an attack that could have been expected.
"Act according to the plan and be sure to intercept and kill these Iwagakure Ninja in layers!"
"Yes!"
Orders given in an orderly manner.
The Konoha Ninjas on the two wings also followed the initial order, extended the battle line, and faced the Iwagakure Ninja army on the opposite side.
"Lord Jiraiya, Iwagakure Ninja, that commander Kitsuchi, I will bring people to hold him back! Five-Tails Jinchuriki, I'll trouble you!"
As far as the eye can see.
You can see Kitsuchi and Han who immediately joined the battlefield.
The latter directly showed the complete combat form of Five-Tails. With the unparalleled impact brought by his huge size, he instantly overwhelmed the Konoha Ninja legion on the left!
Shikaku also made a prompt decision and immediately followed the strategy he had set before the war to separate and suppress the enemies in front of him.
"Well, don't force it, just delay him. After I deal with Five-Tails, I will come to support you immediately!"
Jiraiya also nodded and said in a very serious tone.
"Yes. Also, please keep an eye out for Uchiha Shōji. He is very likely to make a surprise attack at any time to join the battle!"
"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Shikaku!"
Jiraiya laughed, and then he straightened up and headed towards the violently raging Five-Tails Kokuō not far away at high speed.
"Summoning Technique!"
On the speeding road.
Jiraiya is also the Summoning Technique that was released by biting his own finger.
"Peng!!"
When the huge white mist that appeared out of thin air dissipated.
A large purple-red Toad with a U-shaped black tattoo on its face, holding a pot lid shield and a thorny harpoon instantly appeared on the battlefield. Jiraiya's feet were on the head of this Toad.
"Jian, I'm going to trouble you again this time!"
This is the Jiraiya contracted psychic beast, Mount Myōboku Toad, one of the strongest Toad in the group - Gamaken!
"I'm very clumsy, but I will try my best to help you, Jiraiya!"
"Haha, I'll leave it to you, Jian!"
Jiraiya smiled heartily, and then the figure of Gamaken jumped out.
"Bang!"
He rushed towards Five-Tails Kokuō who was not far away.
The extremely chaotic scene suddenly became an extremely intense and exciting battlefield situation. Although in terms of numbers, Konoha's side had an absolute advantage, and Jiraiya could steadily suppress the Han behind Complete Tailed Beast Transformation. However, the existence of Kitsuchi was ultimately 's. The greatest confidence of Iwagakure Ninja is that even though they trust the strength of their own heroes, Shikaku still dare not easily let Jiraiya fight against Kitsuchi and Five-Tails Jinchuriki at the same time. This must also take into account the unique existence of Uchiha Shōji.
Therefore, in the initial planning, Shikaku considered various situations in advance and made various corresponding configurations.
What we have to do now is to slowly squeeze the living space of these Iwagakure Ninjas in front of us. Even if this requires paying a very heavy price, if we can severely damage these Iwagakure Ninjas and even leave important combat capabilities of Kitsuchi and Han Iwagakure Ninjas at the top, Shikaku believes that it is worth paying the price!
Compassion does not command troops!
Seeing his companions being killed one by one by Kitsuchi and falling into a pool of blood, Shikaku still had a cold look on his face and commanded from the center with a very calm attitude. Time was on their side. The so-called war is such a cruel thing!
And it was also when they fell into the most intense melee on the frontal battlefield.
Above the high points of the wings.
The Konoha Ninjas who arrived in a platoon also collided with the Iwagakure Ninjas who were guarding the retreat route of their own troops. Whether or not to pursue the retreating Iwagakure Ninjas was something to be discussed later, but the high-point areas on these two wings must be captured.
The person who was arranged by Shikaku to lead nearly a thousand Konoha Ninja to disperse and attack the high point on the right was the former commander of Konoha Mount Wuyuan Base - Gekko Zen'yoku.
As the strongest person among the Gekko Clan now, Gekko Zen'yoku possesses the strength of Elite Jōnin, and is even more experienced. Being entrusted with the important task by Shikaku is also his duty. As Gekko Zen'yoku, who felt that he was the biggest sinner who lost Mount Wuyuan Base and caused many of his companions to die in battle, was determined to kill all the invading Iwagakure Ninja before this war!
The fire of revenge.
It can be said that Elite Jōnin, Gekko Clan, has a burning heart. In his opinion, his own Ninja Village already has a comprehensive advantage. When the opponent Iwagakure Ninja wants to take the initiative to withdraw his troops, if he doesn't beat the drowned dog now, how long will it take?
But sometimes, fate is such a coincidence.
Just when Gekko Zen'yoku led his troops to attack the high point, he encountered an even stronger blockage.
"Uh-huh!"
The moment the cold yet familiar blade bloomed.
The familiar scarlet pupils came into view.
"Uchiha Shōji!"
Gekko Zen'yoku's angry exclamation also sounded loudly at this moment.
Shōji also quickly locked the position of Gekko Zen'yoku after killing the three or four Konoha and Genin who were close to him. It can be said that at this moment, Shōji himself was slightly startled, as he could encounter Konoha's former Mount Wuyuan Base commander here, and that Gekko Clan's Elite Jōnin.
I have to say it's really a fate!
Logically speaking, Shōji should not have appeared here. He should have led another group of people further back to ensure the safety of the passage. However, Shōji, who has always believed that offense is the best defense, cannot really be a passive defense.
Shōji is also very aware of the importance of the high points on both wings. If you can occupy them for a longer period of time, you can buy more time for your main retreating troops. As long as the high points are not lost, it will be difficult for Byakugan to locate the traces of Iwagakure Ninja's retreating troops.
Byakugan can indeed conduct 360-degree reconnaissance without blind spots, but this does not mean that it can perform perspective locking at ultra-long distances and ignore obstacles. No matter how strong Byakugan is, it cannot reach that level. Therefore, what Shōji wants is to take the initiative and rely on its strong strength to forcibly block Konoha's offensive actions in occupying high-point areas.
As long as the last batch of logistics and medical personnel are evacuated, the remaining personnel, including Shōji himself, can start operations without any scruples.
So he took the most radical approach and happened to meet Gekko Zen'yoku here!
"It seems like this is fate, this Mr. Tsukikage Clan!"
The slowly turning Three-Tomoe Sharingan in Shōji's pupils revealed a sense of chilling.
"Bang!"
Chakra burst out.
When a surging breath rippled out.
The figure of Shōji forced its way towards the location of Gekko Zen'yoku.
A sudden figure.
The extremely cold breath.
Seeing the Shōji approaching at extremely fast speed, Shanyi's pupils suddenly shrank, and Crescent Moon Wheel Blade flipped and waved out, not avoiding or dodging, but facing forward head-on.
He knew very well that avoiding would only make him die faster. Faced with a direct battle, he still had a slight chance of surviving. After all, he was not alone. There were Konohagakure ninjas all over the surrounding area!
Even though a large number of people dispersed to clear out the Iwagakure Ninjas in other areas, there were still three to four hundred Konoha Ninjas nearby, and there were many Ninja Clans from major wealthy families. The elite of can't be defeated by one person. Gekko Zen'yoku still doesn't believe that if he gathers more than ten Elite Jōnin and one or two hundred Elite Chūnin, he can't stop him?
The consumption of Uchiha Shōji and Chakra will be exhausted!
The blade comes in bright and powerful attack.
There are also other Konoha Ninja who are cooperating in the attack.
Shōji showed a trace of bloodthirsty in his pupils.
"Uh-huh!"
A surge of Lightning Release Chakra burst out from all over the body!
Another sudden surge in speed.
