That's right, after personally experiencing the battle with Shisui in the afternoon.
The sense of crisis deep in Fourth Raikage's heart has become very strong. There is no doubt that his Ninja Village will lag behind Iwagakure to a large extent in terms of high-end combat power. That Fourth Tsuchikage——Uchiha Shōji does not necessarily need to be very strong. As long as he is stronger than Shisui Uchiha, he can be suppressed steadily, and then the remaining people can attack Killer B, which is a huge advantage!
Even if he has full confidence in the quality of the Kumo Ninja army at the bottom of his Ninja Village, once the high-end combat power determines the winner, the battlefield below will easily be bulldozed. Don't forget, their Ninja Village has previously detected that Iwagakure's side possesses Chakra Armor!
It is currently impossible to deduce the strength and output of Chakra Armor owned by Iwagakure, but this thing is 100% certain to become an important presence that affects the battle situation. Fourth Raikage no longer has much hope that his own Ninja Village can win alone!
This is why he immediately adjusts his Ninja Village tactics.
Hold on to the stalemate here as long as possible!
If you hold back Iwagakure's power, it would be best to force Iwagakure to send more troops to the front lines of the two countries. In that case, Konoha is hard to say. Sunagakure must be unable to bear it. Ai also has a good understanding of that Fourth Kazekage—Rasa!
It is absolutely impossible for Sunagakure to tolerate the permanent loss of Northern Fortress.
Therefore, although it is not the only option to use drag tactics here, it is definitely the best tactic!
It must be said that with Fourth Raikage's temperament, it is rare to be able to make such a decision!
And it was also because in the collision in the afternoon, Fourth Raikage was not the only one who had a certain degree of change of heart.
Also included is Uchiha Obito who was watching from the sidelines from the very beginning!
To be more precise, Obito's heartbeat came from the moment he saw Shisui appear. In the past two years, Obito has been looking for opportunities to determine who is in the Uchiha Clan's eyes. The eye was transplanted to Shōji. It is almost 100% certain that Uchiha Clan cannot have a fourth Mangekyō Sharingan, especially when Shōji's 10,000 younger brothers and sisters cannot open Mangekyō Sharingan!
There are only two candidates.
That is Shisui and Fugaku.
Uchiha Clan's Mangekyō Sharingan does not mean that it will be turned on if you witness the death of relatives, friends, and family members. It also requires extremely high talent, talent, or pure bloodline!
If a Uchiha member can activate Mangekyō Sharingan just by seeing his beloved die, then these eyes are worthless!
What's more, are there still few examples of the Uchiha Clan taking to the battlefield? Even if there are not many, there are not too few Uchiha people who have witnessed the death of their companions and relatives in battle. However, there are still only a few people who have opened Mangekyō Sharingan, which is enough to explain the problem!
Yes!
Shōji can be transplanted Mangekyō Sharingan is basically one of these two people!
But the whereabouts of the two are too difficult to capture, especially the latter. Since Konoha entered Iwagakure in 1950, he has never left the village, and his activity range can almost be circled around the clan!
And the tasks performed by Shisui.
It was also the case that since Konoha 52, they had directly transferred to a more secretive sequence, and no trace of the two of them could be found for a long time.
Obito It is really difficult to confirm this information.
And now!
It was under his nose that he saw Shisui using Susanoo and Yasaka Beads Technique. The previous doubts were almost 100% confirmed here!
But then another question emerged - should we look for opportunities here to snatch Mangekyō Sharingan from Shisui Uchiha!
It must be said.
This is really a very good opportunity.
In a battle, personal energy and attention are distracted, and most importantly, the personal state is weakened. As long as you look for the right opportunity, there is indeed a certain probability that Obito can use Kamui's technique to sneak around Shisui, and then steal Shisui's eyes in one fell swoop.
But Obito also has corresponding concerns.
One is the strength of Uchiha Shōji. If Kumogakure can really firmly entangle Shōji in the war, then there is really no need to worry, but if Shōji's strength has further improved by leaps and bounds to be close to the peak period of Uchiha Madara.
Obito can predict that once he appears, Uchiha Shōji will definitely lock his position. Even with the lessons learned from the last time, Obito has already carried three or four Sharingan with him in case of emergency, but after all, he still has to take a big risk, especially that one 'Bishamonten Gate Technique'!
This is the technique that Obito is most afraid of!
The second is that Shisui has not revealed what its proprietary Dojutsu is so far. Although there is a certain probability that it is the same as the previous Uchiha Madara. It is a very useless Dojutsu and does not pose much threat. It can be said (Madara has never used his own proprietary Dojutsu, although it must be Kishimoto that is too lazy or forgets to draw it, so here it is simply explained as the useless Dojutsu, which is unnecessary for the weak and meaningless for the strong, so it is not used.)
But if it is as threatening as Bishamonten Gate Technique from Shōji.
Obito You have to weigh it carefully!
At this juncture when the plan is almost ready and about to be launched, you are not allowed to have any problems!
One wrong step!
This will lead to the result of losing everything!
'It's better to take a closer look. '
Obito is standing on a peak in the south, overlooking the camp where Iwagakure is located. There is also a faint hint of coldness in the exposed pupils. Of course he will not miss the opportunity!
But he will never act recklessly.
This battlefield where the three parties gather is also a battle that focuses the attention of the whole Shinobi World. When each other is planning their own calculations, time passes by little by little, from dusk to night!
This world seems to have become peaceful and quiet again.
In fact, Iwagakure Ninja and Kumo Ninja, each with hundreds of names, merged into the thick night and started a night fight. Iwagakure Ninja's side was ordered by Shōji to confirm the position of Kumo Ninja's main force as much as possible!
We are absolutely unwilling and will not give Kumo Ninja another chance to let the main force retreat just like Third Shinobi World War did for the second time.
And Kumo Ninja is on the side.
It was on Ai's orders.
I want to pull the battle line back together and collect more intelligence, with the intention of regaining the previously lost strongholds one by one.
Then they try to rebuild an impregnable defense line on this long border, and fight a war of attrition and a protracted war with Iwagakure Ninja point by point!
Just delay it for a little longer.
The battle situation must gradually tilt towards their Kumo Ninja side.
This is Fourth Raikage's judgment.
"Keng!"
'ding ding ding'
"Lightning Release!"
'Zizzizi! '
"Fire Escape!"
"Boom!"
"Earth Release!"
'Bang! '
The two to three hundred Iwagakure Ninja and Kumo Ninja scattered on this vast battlefield also started the most intense fighting in the dark night.
Suppress and approach bit by bit!
Throughout the night, there was no period of time where it was truly peaceful. There were sounds of fighting coming from every node!
And this was just a small wave caused before the war.
As time passed, when the first ray of morning light shone on the earth, bursts of noise spread throughout the Iwagakure Ninja camp.
Except for some who went out to fight at night and the established night watch patrols, the main force of Iwagakure Ninja was fully rested!
It's all at a given time, when the trumpet sound of the gathering falls.
One by one, full of energy, they flew out of the tent where they were resting, and figures gathered one after another.
When I saw the straight and slender figure of Shōji standing at the front of the camp.
Almost all of these Iwagakure Ninjas have a hint of fanaticism on their faces!
They are confident enough that under the leadership of their young and strong new Tsuchikage, they will definitely achieve the final victory!
The previous outstanding achievements are the most sufficient reason.
"Go out into battle!"
Shōji's calm gaze fell on the troops under his command, and a look of fortitude showed on his face.
With a sudden wave of his right hand.
The words that came out of the mouth.
"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage!"
More than 6,000 Iwagakure Ninjas used all their strength to burst out their loudest responses at this moment.
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh!"
In the front position, under the leadership of Shōji, Chakra burst out one after another, following closely behind their own master Fourth Tsuchikage, heading towards the location of Kumo Ninja's main camp at high speed!
The Iwagakure Ninja army is moving here.
Kumo Ninja from Kumoyoke Peak received the corresponding information in the shortest time.
"Huh, can't you help it the next day!? Young people are really easy to be young and energetic! Then let me Raikage teach you a lesson!"
Fourth Raikage A strode away from the main tent with a full body of evil aura, a fierce look on his face.
"Get out!"
"Ohhhhhhhhh!"
The Kumo Ninjas who also filed out from various locations in the stronghold also quickly gathered next to this Fourth Raikage.
He knew very well that the more he wanted to drag the opponent into a war of attrition and protracted war, the more he had to give the opponent a heads-up!
It doesn't necessarily mean how much advantage you need to gain in a head-on battle.
But at least let the opponent feel the difficulty of attacking. Blocking the opponent's momentum is the key to this decision.
Therefore, even if Kumoyoke Peak can rely on the barrier and terrain for defense, Fourth Raikage still has to choose to attack decisively. If he really hides inside to defend, he will undoubtedly overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum!
This is a development that Fourth Raikage does not want to see.
Looking at it from a general perspective.
You can't say that Fourth Raikage's judgment is wrong. In ordinary wars, great emphasis is placed on the morale of the army. The more confident and powerful the side, the higher the winning rate. The same applies to ninja battles!
When the strength is the same, or there is not much difference.
The more courageous people are, the more likely they are to score the winning blow!
To put it in more popular terms, if you are too arrogant, you will be afraid of being stunned, and if you are stunned, you will be afraid of losing your life. If you speak rudely, you should not be rude. This is certainly not a 100% rule, but it is a universal truth in most cases!
However, it is not universal here, because the strength of Shōji has far exceeded the scope of overestimation of this Fourth Raikage. It is not that the difference is not big, nor is it almost the same. This is about to show the glaring disparity!
If it relies on a strong barrier as support.
If you can increase your chances of winning by one more point.
When taking the initiative to break away from the terrain, especially when taking advantage of the barrier.
The disadvantage between the two sides will further expand, but this is not what Fourth Raikage could have expected!
Under Kumoyoke Peak.
On this endless vast plain.
The main forces of the two ninja villages formed a long snake formation, and the momentum rising into the sky collided in mid-air!
And when Fourth Raikage A reaches the frontmost position.
In the opposite position.
The first thing that caught his attention was not the figure of Shōji, but the figure of two to three thousand Iwagakure Ninja standing in the front position, wearing a special pair of scarlet armor. He was almost the first figure. With just one eye, Fourth Raikage can tell that the armor worn by these Iwagakure Ninja must be the Chakra Armor produced by Snow Country reported in the previous intelligence!
When I saw two to three thousand Iwagakure Ninja equipped.
Fourth Raikage's eyes also became very solemn. Don't say more. Even if these are the number of Chakra Armor currently owned by Iwagakure, it is enough to make Fourth Raikage feel threatened!
Because the first version of Chakra Armor was initially detected, the amplification effect on ninjas has been obvious!
Now at first glance.
Fourth Raikage can all be judged.
This is definitely Chakra Armor after the improvement of Iwagakure, but the specific extent of the increase cannot be judged by the naked eye!
The only thing that is certain is that you must overestimate the benefit brought by this armor as much as possible!
Also at this moment.
Fourth Raikage A is more firm in his previous judgment. He must not fight to the death with Iwagakure. He must fight as hard as possible!
"You are Uchiha Shōji, right!? You kidnapped our Kumogakure's Two-Tailed Jinchuriki, and murdered our Kumogakure's Jōnin without authorization. These are unforgivable crimes. Considering that you are also the shadow of a village, among the previous conditions, I can give up the last one, as long as you can today On behalf of Iwagakure, kneel down and admit your mistake to us Kumogakure and compensate for a series of losses. This Raikage will let you go. Whether to choose hard-won peace or a war that is very likely to destroy you Iwagakure, Uchiha Shōji, all the choices are in your hands!"
The decision was made in just a few seconds.
Even though Fourth Raikage knows very well that they are the ones who attacked first and ignored the reason, and the current situation is not conducive to their Kumogakure side, they absolutely cannot lose in terms of momentum. In this war, they Kumogakure are holding high the banner of seeking justice!
You don't care if it's true or false!
At least our own side can't be confused!
We must be firm to the end!
When Shōji in the opposite position heard Fourth Raikage's shameless words, he smiled instead of being angry. A ray of sarcasm appeared on his face, looking at in the position directly in front of him. Fourth Raikage sneered and said, "Huh? Lord Raikage is really bold and courageous. I don't know if your strength is as strong as your tone. If not, I'm afraid you will have to compete with the previous here today. Raikage is facing the same result. I wonder if the Kumo Ninja army behind you today will give up on you, Fourth Raikage, just like they gave up on Third Raikage eight or nine years ago, and run away in panic. Run away! If that's the case, it would be a different kind of lucky reunion for you, father and son, two generations of Raikage to become our Iwagakure's experimental material together, Lord Raikage!"
As the saying goes, don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, don't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold someone.
But these words of Shōji undoubtedly slapped Fourth Raikage and the whole Kumogakure in the face repeatedly!
Not only were the scars that were forcibly uncovered not enough, but a knife was stabbed viciously on them. This looked like a bloody scene that could be seen clearly!
Wait until Shōji's words fall.
The expression of Fourth Raikage became extremely gloomy and ugly, and the intense and extremely cold murderous intention emerged on his face!
"Uchiha Shōji! You are looking for death!"
The cold words echoed across the entire world.
"Boom!"
This Fourth Raikage is also wrapped in a layer of extremely bright blue Chakra external rotation armor!
The Kumo Ninjas in the back all had expressions of endless anger on their faces.
Shōji's words were ridiculed by them as well!
Even Killer B, who has the best personality, is looking at Shōji in the opposite position with a very cold look at this moment.
Third Raikage and Fourth Raikage.
In the eyes of Killer B, he is his father and brother!
Shōji insulting the two of them in this way was also a great shame and humiliation for Killer B, who immediately burst out with an extremely scarlet horror Chakra.
It was worthy of Fourth Raikage's words as he finished speaking.
"Bang!"
The soles of my feet were shaken.
This Fourth Raikage also took the lead and pounced towards the position of Shōji. What happened next, this Fourth Raikage, no longer wanted to worry about it. Now he could only beat Shōji severely and use this guy's blood to wash away the shame!
Fourth Raikage moved.
This is the signal for war.
"Lightning Release!"
"Lightning Release!"
"Wind Release!"
"Fire Escape!"
"Ding ding ding ding ding ding!"
The thousands of Kumo Ninja troops behind him launched their own attacks on the Iwagakure Ninjas on the opposite side almost at the same time!
Killer B, as well as Kage Guard Squad, who was directly under Raikage, also followed Fourth Raikage's pace at the first time, guarding the positions on both sides of their own Raikage, and launched a surprise attack together!
"Haha!"
Shōji looked at Fourth Raikage who was charging fiercely, a hint of disdain first appeared in the dark pupils, and then a scarlet color appeared directly.
"Shisui, Kitsuchi, act according to the plan!"
The same words that came out in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
After Shisui, Kitsuchi responded to Responded.
"Boom!"
Shōji also burst out with a powerful and terrifying Chakra.
Don't avoid or dodge.
Heading straight up from the front, the thousands of Iwagakure Ninja behind them, led by Kitsuchi, Shisui, and many Jōnin, also launched their own attacks against the Kumo Ninja on the opposite side.
The air waves rippling away from each other.
"Zizzizizi!"
It was also the dazzling thunder and lightning blooming. As Shōji approached, Tachi was thrown out!
"Bang!"
Two people collided head-on.
"Keng!"
This intense spark bursts out!
Even though he is very confident in his Lightning Armor, Ai will not use his flesh and blood to resist other people's attacks easily, especially Shōji, the 'enchanted' Tachi, which shows such a sharp edge!
The fierce power that can be felt when faced directly.
When the two collided.
Fourth Raikage crossed his arms and used the giant metal wrist guard on his wrist to block Shōji's blow.
Violent shaking.
The most important thing is the pressure that comes from it.
Let Fourth Raikage's expression change!
The Lightning Release Nintaijutsu training inherited from First Raikage is a mode that emphasizes both speed and strength!
In the previous Shinobi World.
Their Raikage is the representative of speed and power!
But now.
Let's not talk about speed.
The Uchiha Shōji on the opposite side obviously wanted to suppress himself due to his strength. Such a judgment made Fourth Raikage feel a slight sense of shame!
"Whoosh!"
"Boom!"
At the same time.
In the back position.
Killer B The figure leaping out.
A raised fist.
The majestic aura that permeated the air.
"Uh-huh!"
"Bang!"
When approaching the position beside Shōji.
This blow is about to succeed.
"Haha!"
Shōji smiled coldly, Tomoe Sharingan spun at high speed in his pupils, and Mangekyō Sharingan appeared!
"Boom!"
A monstrous force suddenly appeared.
Another purple-gold Chakra halo appeared out of thin air, forming a perfect barrier around Shōji!
This is the original form of Susanoo.
But even such a simple Susanoo is enough to block the devastating blow of Killer B!
Feel the solid feeling coming from your fist.
Killer B's eyes hidden under the sunglasses also showed a look of surprise. Even though he didn't use Eight-Tails Gyūki's power, this was already a powerful blow, but he didn't even break through the defense on the other side!?
Wait until the shocking moment of Killer B.
"Hmph!"
Shōji also snorted coldly.
"Zizzizizi!"
In an instant, there was a burst of thunder and lightning.
Not only is it attached to Susanoo, it spreads towards Killer B's body at an extremely fast speed, but it also makes the light and shadow of Tachi bloom in the palm of his hand!
Trembling blade!
"Huh!? Than!"
The beautiful halo shines all the time.
Fourth Raikage, who was resisting head-on, changed his expression.
"Boom!"
The pair of Byakugan that already had blue veins popping out.
It was almost a second faster than Shōji's movement to capture the flow of Chakra of Shōji, and immediately shouted the words sharply.
"Oh!?"
Under agitation.
The more powerful Chakra fluctuations erupted.
"Lightning Release—Heavy Stone Bullet Technique!"
The super powerful lightning Ninjutsu type was released together.
This can be said to be a purely physical attack!
At the moment when Tachi was forcibly shaken away from the suppressive power of Shōji, in the next second, the speed soared to the extreme!
Clenched fists!
At the intersection.
It blasted directly towards the face of Shōji.
