The combat effectiveness of the Kumo Ninja special operations force this time was at least comparable to that of the elite troops led by Ai and Killer B last time. They came all the way, but the Iwagakure Ninja investigators could not find any trace at all.
Until entering the original Land of Grass area.
Only then did Iwagakure Ninja's investigators catch a slight trace.
But it is also because Land of Grass was merged into Land of Earth just a few years ago. Iwagakure Ninja's control over this area is far from what it was in Land of Earth. It has been delayed for a while, and they are still paying. After paying a certain price, and most importantly, the Kusa Ninja troops led by the four Kusagakure elders were exposed first, the traces of this Kumo Ninja elite army were detected by the Iwagakure Ninja side.
The Iwagakure Jōnin who was responsible for guarding the original Kusagakure area immediately spread the news back to his Ninja Village, and then immediately issued an order to summon hundreds of Iwagakure Ninja stationed in this area!
And it was also after realizing that his side's whereabouts were exposed.
While Dodai secretly cursed Kusagakure, those idiots were really ruined, and at the same time, he could only immediately modify the plan and quickly launch a surprise attack!
We must seize the original Kusagakure area in the shortest possible time.
After all, according to what the four Kusagakure elders said, if you want to open Box of Paradise, you must borrow a special magic circle in their original secret room under Kusagakure. Otherwise, even if there are sufficient sacrifices, it will be impossible to open Box of Paradise!
This also forces the Kumogakure side to cooperate with Kusa Ninja's actions in the early stage. Of course, this is a complete lie!
Those four elders.
He simply wanted to use the power of Kumo Ninja to seize back his Ninja Village. At this point, Dodai might not have guessed it, but it did not conflict with their main plan, so Dodai turned a blind eye. Besides, there was a certain probability that he was not lying?
Therefore, as long as he can ensure the smooth execution of his Ninja Village plan, Dodai won't bother to worry about this!
And with the number of ninjas Iwagakure currently stationed in the original Kusagakure area, the combat effectiveness of their Kumo Ninja special operations force is enough to bulldoze them head-on, let alone the border area.
Dodai can also mobilize some elite personnel from the Kumo Ninja garrison to participate in the operation. Besides, the 'main body' of the plan this time is that group of Kusa Ninja people.
At this point, Dodai is unmistakable and there is no need to worry.
The problem still lies in Iwagakure's follow-up reaction after seizing Kusagakure. Dodai also predicted several of the most likely reactions of Iwagakure in advance, and then made corresponding preparations one by one in advance!
"This is the first step of the operation. The next step is to see how Iwagakure will react!"
Standing on a high mountain in the northeast beyond the original Kusagakure, looking at Kusagakure in the distance, there was a cold look in Dodai's pupils.
"Darui, the next step is up to you. We must eliminate the Iwagakure Ninjas in the village in the shortest possible time!"
Nearly two hundred figures slowly walked out of the woods.
Dodai looked at Darui who was walking in front and said this with a very serious expression.
"Yes, Dodai-san, please don't worry!"
Darui was fully armed, and the only eye that was not covered by his bangs showed a look of determination.
"Get out!"
That arm suddenly swung down.
"Yes!"
Then the figure jumped out.
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh!"
Except for Yugito and a few people who stayed behind, the remaining Kumo Ninja followed closely behind Darui.
Kusagakure launched an invasion not far away.
And that was before Kumo Ninja launched the attack.
There are hundreds of Kusa Ninja.
Under the leadership of a very tall and muscular man with a Chinese character face, he first broke into the interior of the original Kusagakure and started the most intense fight with the Iwagakure Ninjas stationed inside!
Iwagakure The number of Iwagakure Ninja deployed in Land of Grass is about a thousand, half of which are allocated in the border area to serve as front-line reconnaissance and garrison troops. Only less than 500 people are stationed in the original Kusagakure area.
And there are nearly 20 Jōnin including Special Jōnin. Under normal circumstances, this force is enough to deal with most situations, including the resurgence of Kusagakure, or the invasion of Five Great Shinobi Villages. At the very least, these Iwagakure Ninja can block the first wave, because it is impossible for large forces to invade such a deep area without being discovered. Only small-scale invasion forces can do it.
Sunagakure Ninja and Sound Ninja in Original Work can invade the hinterland of Land of Fire openly and reach the suburbs of Konoha without being discovered by Konoha Ninja. That is because they have the help of a certain big traitor!
Otherwise, no matter how weak Konoha is, it is impossible for such a ninja army to cross its border wantonly!?
No matter how stupid Sarutobi Hiruzen is, he will not treat Konoha as a battlefield.
Even if we look at this Third Hokage from the perspective of conspiracy theory, the only thing that cannot be changed is that he indeed cherishes and loves this shinobi village very much!
Therefore, in the battle between Five Great Shinobi Villages, the invasion of small-scale troops is capable of not being discovered for a short period of time.
But the invasion of large-scale troops cannot achieve perfect stealth!
From this point alone, the Iwagakure Ninja army deployed in Land of Grass is capable of conducting a minimum confrontation, at least until reinforcements arrive.
But this is certainly a theoretical possibility.
The elite level of this Kumo Ninja army is not only outrageous, but the most important thing is that Darui, a genius Kumo Ninja who is only 16 years old, can exert a power close to Quasi-Kage level!
This is not something that ordinary Iwagakure Ninja can deal with.
The only few Jōnins in this group of Iwagakure Ninjas will probably have to join forces to fight, without the most important few Jōnins.
What can the remaining Iwagakure Ninjas do to prevent subsequent enemy invasions!?
Not to mention there are hundreds of Kusa Ninja. No matter how poor the quality of these people are, they are still here in quantity.
Dodai is not worried at all about the first phase goal of his plan.
If this village cannot be captured, and the defensive strength is not strong enough, there will be no follow-up plan at all.
In fact, this is also true.
The first group of Kusa Ninjas who broke into Kusagakure were quite fierce. Under the leadership of the young Jōnin named 'Mui', they were not suppressed by Iwagakure Ninja in the first place, showing their courage and strength.
Even Dodai can't help but look at it with admiration.
This also allows the Kumo Ninjas who attack from behind to easily tear apart the Iwagakure Ninjas' defense.
"Lightning Release—Lightning Release: Lightning Cloud Technique!"
"Lightning Release—False Darkness Technique!"
"Lightning Release—Earth Run Technique!"
"Lightning Release!"
The thunder Ninjutsu style comes from the film.
He almost restrained most of the Iwagakure Ninjas, although it is impossible for the Five Great Shinobi Villages ninjas to be good at only one technique.
But really except Konoha.
Among the other Four Great Shinobi Villages, most ninjas really only know a single Ninjutsu, Kumogakure is Lightning Release, and Kirigakure is Water Release and Sunagakure are Wind Release, Iwagakure is Earth Release, and Jōnin is still a minority after all!
A ninja that can master two or even three types Ninjutsu.
It is already among the best above Shinobi World!
Because except for a few true geniuses, generally speaking, this is the qualification and authority that only Jōnin has!
At this moment, the Ya Iwagakure Jōnins are guarding the Kusagakure.
They were already rounded off by Mui and Darui who came in from behind. Ninety percent of the remaining Chunin and Genin are only Earth Release. Under such circumstances, the new force of Kumo Ninja joined in.
These Iwagakure Ninjas can only retreat steadily
"Boom!"
"Go to hell!"
"Ah!?"
"Clang clang clang clang clang!"
Sparks burst and explosions roared.
And the screams of fighting, shouts and screams resounded throughout the sky above Kusagakure at this moment!
The former Kusagakure civilians who had no time to evade were huddled in their homes and shivering, and no one dared to leave their homes.
At this time, the only thing they can do is to pray that the battle will not affect them, but the battle takes place within the village, let alone the battle at the Jōnin level, even if it is Chunin, A fierce collision of Genin, B-rank, and even the lowest level spells such as C and D. Once these most ordinary buildings are bombarded, they will definitely collapse!
Such a battle.
It's 100% certain that some unlucky people were involved!
"Crash!"
"Boom!"
Raging Kakkō.
Black smoke spreads.
"Earth Release—Earth-Style Wall Technique!"
"Water Release—Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Earth Release!"
"Lightning Release!"
One after another Ninjutsu, the scene in the village became extremely bloody and tragic. At this moment, these people who were originally Kusagakure couldn't help but began to resent those Kusa Ninja who invaded the village today and were supposed to be their own family members!
People's demands are always so low.
For these ordinary people.
Being able to live peacefully and peacefully is their greatest wish.
In the past two years, Iwagakure has brought an unprecedented sense of peace to the people of Kusagakure. The other most important point is that Third Tsuchikage Onoki obeyed According to Shōji's suggestion, most of the original Kusa Ninjas who were captured and joined Iwagakure were treated equally, even some Kusa Ninjas who needed to be punished.
In the past year, some people have been released one after another!
This has also increased the recognition of Iwagakure among these people to a certain extent!
You must know that some of the Iwagakure Ninjas stationed in Land of Grass and Kusagakure are the original Kusa Ninjas.
The remaining Kusa Ninja legion led by the four elders this time invaded Kusagakure. They thought they could get the support of all Land of Grass people and could easily instigate those former companions who were 'forced' to join the Iwagakure Ninja sequence!
However, all of this will eventually run counter to their ideas!
They were squandering the few remaining goodwill and goodwill, and it was at the moment when the war broke out in the village that the position of these people really began to change.
There is a saying that makes a lot of sense.
Some people will never feel that you are very grateful to you for how kind you are to them, but as long as someone else shows a little bit of malice towards them, then these people will definitely feel your kindness.
Today's Kusagakure people are in such a situation.
Of course these people are powerless to change the war.
It can only be said that it will slowly ferment and have a certain degree of influence in the follow-up, but if the four elders Kusagakure can really recast the so-called 'Kusagakure glory', these are just details.
"Boom!"
One step at a time.
"Ah!?"
"Pfft!"
"Hundan!"
Iwagakure Ninja was killed one after another. Although Kumo Ninja and Kusa Ninja also had to pay a certain price, Iwagakure Ninja was obviously the one who suffered the heavier losses.
It only took less than an hour of fighting.
Iwagakure Ninja's death toll reached a terrifying 30%!
among the remaining staff.
More than half were injured.
This casualty rate is really too high.
"Damn it!"
Especially when the Iwagakure Ninja commander was accurately targeted by Darui and used his Lightning Release Nintaijutsu to get close easily. After a fierce battle and a strong kill with Storm Release, Iwagakure Ninja fell into a complete collapse situation.
"Retreat! Retreat immediately!"
The remaining two or three Jōnin.
When you see that the situation has reached an irreversible situation.
The order to retreat was immediately issued, with one Jōnin leading dozens of Iwagakure Ninja as the back-up force. The remaining Iwagakure Ninjas also immediately retreated with their injured companions at high speed when they saw this scene.
Kumo Ninja led by Darui also gave a symbolic chase.
Just stopped.
The goal of the Kumo Ninja side has never been to eliminate all the Iwagakure Ninja here, nor is it to start a direct war, but to use Kusagakure to see what kind of strength and confidence the current Iwagakure has.
Choosing to stop when seeing that the tactical goal is achieved is naturally the right thing to do.
On the contrary, Kusa Ninja, under the instructions of the four elders, chased for an extra distance. However, without the assistance of Kumo Ninja, not only did Iwagakure Ninja escape easily, but Kusa Ninja also suffered some extra casualties during the pursuit.
This is why the Kusagakure Jōnin named 'Mui' is very dissatisfied.
He even directly entered into a stalemate with Darui on the spot.
Until the four elders of Kusagakure and Dodai arrived.
"Although Mui does have some rudeness, Mr. Dodai, is your Kumo Ninja behavior a bit excessive? Violate the Alliance Treaty between us?"
The leading elder in blue wore a special mask and said in a very cold tone as he looked at Dodai in the opposite position.
Follow the three elders beside you.
There was also a gloomy atmosphere.
"Violate Alliance Treaty? No, no, no, what we Kumogakure do is to comply with Alliance Treaty. Don't forget, four elders, our purpose is only to take back Kusagakure, Then let Box of Paradise be unblocked as soon as possible, right? Instead of wasting time chasing those Iwagakure Ninja, it's better to return to the main body as soon as possible, right? The four elders shouldn't forget this!"
For the so-called Alliance Treaty.
Dodai is just as scornful as his own master Fourth Raikage.
What qualifications does a destroyed Kusagakure have to be their Kumogakure ally!?
Said without politeness.
Ninja Village has developed to this point.
Except for Five Great Shinobi Villages, the only ones who had certain qualifications to establish a certain level of status with Five Great Shinobi Villages were Takigakure and Amegakure. These two ninja villages also have limitations. One is because Takigakure has Seven-Tails.
The other one is because of the existence of Hanzō of the Salamander.
If we really talk about the background of Ninja Village, it's not enough.
Therefore, Kusagakure and Dodai don't look down on them at all, but now that they are in the stage of using others, Dodai still has a faint smile on the surface.
After all, testing Iwagakure is one thing. For Box of Paradise, Dodai and our own Fourth Raikage are still very interested.
If this thing is really the No. 1 Noble Phantasm of the Sage of Six Paths era.
For them, Kumogakure's Shinobi World dominance can really provide a strong boost!
"That's what it is, but wouldn't it be helpful for the next plan if we could clear out as many Iwagakure Ninja as possible?"
The four Kusagakure elders were stunned by Dodai's words.
Especially when I saw Dodai who was following Dodai, a very forbidding yet strong Chakra wave was spreading all over his body, and Yugito had no expression on his face.
The faces of the four elders hidden under their masks were slightly stagnant.
But in terms of words, he is still unwilling to admit defeat easily.
"Well, as long as your village's plan goes as smoothly as promised before, you don't need to worry about some troubles at all, right? Compared to these, I think it's better to start the promised plan as soon as possible. Otherwise, things will really become troublesome when the Iwagakure Ninja army arrives!"
Dodai was neither soft nor hard and stimulated the four elders.
The four of them looked at each other subconsciously.
The elder in blue also took a deep breath and said, "Well, what your Excellency Dodai said makes sense, Mui, make the corresponding preparations immediately! For the glory of our Kusagakure, we cannot fail again this time!"
His eyes also shifted to the person named Mui, Kusagakure Jōnin, who spoke in a low voice.
Mui also nodded heavily and responded Responded.
"Yes!"
But it was also his bowing moment.
Another special and strong fluctuation revealed in the pupils was something that the four elders at a closer position could not notice.
This Kusagakure Jōnin, who seems to be the most trusted by the four elders, obviously has his own intentions at this moment!
"Then we need to do some rituals, and we will need your village's assistance later..."
"The four elders don't need to worry about this at all. The one next to me is assisting your village. Please rest assured!"
There is no need to finish speaking to the other person.
Dodai naturally understands what the other person means.
He raised his hand, and the words he spoke were matched with Yugito's imposing look.
The four elders can naturally get it immediately.
"Then we can rest assured! Go quickly, Mui, don't keep our young master waiting too long!"
The elder in blue said meaningfully.
"Yes!"
Mui suddenly lowered his head and responded.
He also dodged and headed towards the building where Boro once lived. Darui on the side was also prompted by Dodai's eyes to gather his Kumo Ninja troops. Iwagakure Ninja's counterattack was about to come!
Next, they Kumogakure want to sit on the sidelines as much as possible.
Take a look at what kind of power Kusagakure's so-called strongest Noble Phantasm of the Sage of Six Paths era has!
And what kind of course of action Iwagakure Ninja will be dispatched next.
And the Chakra Armor that Kumogakure attaches more importance to, can we see it in the next collision?
These will greatly influence their Kumogakure's next strategic choices!
Completed first phase objectives.
Then comes the next step of preparation that needs to be done.
Not to mention that Kusa Ninja and Kumo Ninja are in alliance while still fighting each other.
The other side.
The retreating Iwagakure Ninja troops.
Not long after, they encountered the first batch of Iwagakure Ninja reinforcements who rushed to the rescue after receiving the signal.
This batch of reinforcements is not very large, only about 300 people.
But the leader is Akatsuchi, one of the disciples of Ōnoki!
As Earth Release among Iwagakure, Akatsuchi, whose attainments are only lower than those of Ōnoki and Kitsuchi, now possesses the power of Quasi-Kage level.
The Iwagakure Ninja unit led by him must have good combat effectiveness.
"What did you say!? Kusa Ninja remnants and Kumo Ninja are uniting, right!?"
The moment when first-hand information was obtained from the defeated companions.
Akatsuchi's brows suddenly frowned.
"Yes, Akatsuchi-san, and almost all of this batch of Kumo Ninjas are elites. There are a very large number of Jōnins in them. The most important thing is that the leader seems to be the top adviser of Raikage - Dodai. And I also saw the existence of a suspected Two-Tailed Jinchuriki!"
A slightly embarrassed young man wearing Iwagakure Ninja uniform said with a very serious look.
Yugito, Killer B.
Among Third Shinobi World War, Kumogakure Tailed Beast Jinchuriki has a shooting record.
Naturally, each village has its own recorded information.
This name Iwagakure Ninja is Jōnin in Iwagakure, and the corresponding information is naturally known. Yugito's appearance is naturally the most important information point, but it is also because Yugito was not seen taking action.
This one Iwagakure Ninja is not 100% sure.
But such intelligence.
Even if it is just a suspicion, it is very scary!
To know the collision between ninja villages, it is true that the number of ninjas participating in the war is a measure, but whether Tailed Beast participates in the war is also a very important measure!
As soon as I heard Kumo Ninja, I actually brought Two-Tailed Jinchuriki!
Akatsuchi's expression changed accordingly.
"Hun Dan, Kumogakure, do you want to start a full-scale war!?"
But only after a second.
Akatsuchi has a look of determination on his face.
"Get ready for battle immediately, Kusarin. You divide a group of people to escort the wounded to retreat first, and the remaining people rejoin the battle sequence. Is this no problem!?"
