Tekka was about to chase, but Ren raised his hand to stop him.
"No need to waste time."
"They are just a team exploring and delaying."
Nanami looked at the fleeing Cloud Ninja and took back the short knife.
"Keep going!"
The team quickly regrouped.
There was no cheering.
No one stopped because of this small victory.
This is not the first time such harassment has occurred along the way.
Kumogakure's people knew very well that they could not stop Uchiha from the front, so they constantly sent small groups of troops to harass, ambush, and intercept.
But the results are all the same.
In front of Hyuga Byakugan and Uchiha Sharingan, it is difficult for an ambush to really work.
In front of Temple Formation, Chunin level harassment is more like sending someone to death.
The team galloped forward for several miles.
The wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger.
Many Temple members were obviously a beat slower.
Nanami saw it in his eyes, and finally came to Ren's side, and whispered, "Master Clan Leader."
Ren didn't stop.
"Say."
Nanami said in a deep voice, "The tribesmen are too tired."
"In the past few days, I have been continuously breaking through barriers and rushing on the road. Chakra can recover in rotation, but my spirit and body cannot last long."
"If we rush to Kumogakure directly like this, even if we can still fight, our status will decline."
She looked up at Ren.
"I suggest you rest where you are for a while."
"At least let Temple members breathe a sigh of relief."
Ren has slowed down a bit.
Uchiha The people behind him didn't speak, but many people were breathing a little heavier.
They are not afraid of fighting.
They are just too tired.
At first, Kumogakure wanted to stop the Uchiha army by relying on the strong levels at Land of Lightning.
Those checkpoints are built against the mountains, with Lightning Release Barrier outside and Cloud Ninja stationed inside. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
An ordinary ninja army would have to pay a huge price to capture one.
But Kumogakure didn't expect that Uchiha had Lightning Release: Myriad Lightning in his hands.
More Lightning Release: Kirin.
The most terrifying thing about this type of Ninjutsu is not how much Chakra is consumed, but that it uses the power of God to kill the enemy.
Team Temple only needs to tow Lightning Cloud, lock the target, and maintain Jutsu Formula. The real destructive power comes from high-altitude thunder.
No matter how thick the wall is, it can't stop Ten Thousand Lightning's continuous bombardment.
No matter how stable Barrier is, it cannot withstand the fall of Kirin.
At the first critical pass, the defenders of Kumogakure even shouted loudly that they wanted Uchiha's blood to be spilled in front of the pass.
As a result, Lightning Cloud was pressed down, Ten Thousand Lightning fell together, and the entire wall was blown to pieces.
It only took half an hour for the defenders to go from arrogance to collapse.
The second checkpoint learned the lesson, dispersed the troops in advance, and hid in the mountain fortifications.
Hyuga Byakugan With one sweep, all bunkers and tunnels were exposed.
Temple Formation cast spells in rotation, and Lightning Release: Kirin directly smashed through the mountain, forcing the defenders to abandon their armor.
The third, fourth, fifth...
Kumogakure The more I guard, the more desperate I become.
They thought Uchiha would be tired.
The Temple teams can be rotated into groups. The first team will pull Lightning Cloud, the latter team will recover, and then the third team will pick it up.
The thunder almost never stopped.
From the border to the inland, the black clouds above Land of Lightning are used by Uchiha as an inexhaustible weapon.
The Lightning Release that Cloud Ninja was so proud of turned into a joke in this war.
They stood on the wall, watching their country's Lightning Cloud being controlled by Uchiha, and watching the thunder smashing their defenses again and again. The frustration was even more uncomfortable than defeat.
Relying on the low-consumption, high-power bombing methods of Lightning Release: Myriad Lightning and Lightning Release: Kirin,
Coupled with the non-stop rotation of Temple team,
The Uchiha army successively broke through many important checkpoints in Kumogakure and more than ten small passes, crushing them all the way, and entered the hinterland of Land of Lightning.
Land of Lightning The mountain roads in the hinterland are more difficult to walk than on the border.
There are steep rock walls on both sides, and the gravel under your feet is loose, and you will slip half a step if you step on it.
Uchiha The team was galloping on the mountain road, their black combat uniforms covered in dust.
Just as we climbed over a mountain ridge, there was suddenly a sharp sound piercing the air in front of us.
"Explosive Tag!"
Hizashi Hyuga The veins on his forehead popped out. Byakugan swept over the mountain wall and immediately shouted.
The next moment, dozens of Kunai with Explosive Tag tied to them shot out from the rock crevices at a tricky angle, specifically heading towards the middle of the team.
Boom boom boom!
Explosions went off one after another.
The gravel flew everywhere, and Kakkō hit his face.
"Disperse!"
Nanami After giving the order, Uchiha everyone immediately separated.
Several Chunins were half a beat too slow to react, and were knocked back by the blast of air, their faces turning pale.
High on the mountain wall, six Cloud Ninja appeared.
They didn't charge, just fast Hand Seals.
"Lightning Release·Earth Flow!"
Electric current rushed along the rocky ground, specifically blocking the location where Uchiha settled.
"Fight and run?"
Tekka Uchiha sneered, raised his hand and threw out several Shuriken.
Sharingan rotated, Shuriken collided with each other in mid-air, the trajectory changed instantly, and they accurately stabbed Cloud Ninja on the mountain wall.
The expressions of those Cloud Ninja changed and they immediately retreated.
"Stop fighting!"
"Just slow them down!"
"Spread out!"
They know very well that they are no match for Uchiha Shrine.
This round of attacks will be considered successful as long as they injure a few people and force Uchiha to stop and deal with the wounded.
But just as they were about to retreat, four Uchiha had already stepped onto the rock wall.
"Temple team, intercept them!"
Nanami said coldly.
Four pairs of Three-Tomoe Sharingan rotate at the same time, and Chakra quickly connects among the four people.
Lightning exploded.
As soon as a Cloud Ninja jumped into the shadow of the mountain wall, he was hit in the back by Lightning Release, and his whole body was smashed into a rock crevice.
Another Cloud Ninja wanted to use smoke bombs to cover his retreat, but Sharingan had already locked his movements.
"Fire Release·Fire Release: Great Fireball!"
Fireballs blast into the smoke.
Screams sounded.
The faces of the remaining Cloud Ninja changed greatly.
"Damn it!"
"It can't be removed!"
They didn't expect that Uchiha could react so quickly after running for so many days.
In just a dozen breaths, this harassing team was completely defeated.
But Uchiha there was not much joy on everyone's faces.
One Chunin covered his shoulders and gritted his teeth and said, "It's this kind of team again."
The person next to me was breathing heavily.
"Is this the seventh time today?"
"Not the seventh time, but the ninth time."
Tekka shook off the blood on the dagger and looked a little ugly.
"Kumogakure stopped guarding the rules and started to use such disgusting methods."
This is exactly what happened.
A few days ago, Cloud Ninja wanted to rely on the pass to defend.
After being destroyed by Uchiha with Lightning Release: Myriad Lightning and Kirin, Kumogakure finally learned to be smart.
They no longer cram large amounts of troops into levels and wait to be struck by lightning.
Instead, the ninjas were broken up into small teams and hid in valleys, rock walls, underground passages, and abandoned strongholds.
They don't want to win, they just want to delay.
But this way of playing is very annoying.
It is impossible for Uchiha to ask Temple Formation to summon a large range of Lightning Release every time he encounters three or five Cloud Ninja.
Lightning Release: Myriad Lightning is powerful, but it takes time to pull Lightning Cloud, lock the area, and adjust the formation.
It's worth it to deal with a level.
It would be too wasteful to deal with a few guerrillas Cloud Ninja.
What's more, Land of Lightning has a complicated mountain topography, with caves and mountain cracks everywhere.
Hizashi Hyuga's Byakugan is indeed strong, but he is not an iron man.
If Byakugan is turned on for too long, Chakra and energy will be consumed.
Not all members of Hyuga clan are here. Hizashi cannot clear every inch of the mountain road for Uchiha around the clock and in all directions.
Cloud Ninja captures exactly this.
They tore the battlefield apart.
Turn a decisive battle into numerous irritating skirmishes.
