Seven people on the second line of defense who were seriously injured were sent back to Hyuga Village.
After resting for a long time, Hyuga Village's ninja continued walking north.
After walking for two days, Third Line of Defense appeared in front of me.
The Third Line of Defense is built between two large Yamanakas. In front of the defense line is a large open space without even a tree.
There is a tall Stone Wall built between the two Yamanakas, and seven Watchtowers stand on the Stone Walls. Behind the Stone Walls, there are barracks connected one after another.
Hyuga Jonin opened Byakugan and looked at it for a while, his face became increasingly ugly.
"Master Light Shadow, the defense line is densely packed with Kumogakure ninjas."
"It's several times more than the first and second lines of defense combined."
"Stone Wall is also covered with a layer of Sensing Barrier outside."
"It seems that the dozen or so people who fled back have brought the news."
Shinichi's Tenseigan saw the innermost room of the defense line.
In the room, there is a Chakra that is stronger than all the Kumogakure ninjas in the entire defense line.
First Raikage.
Raikage personally guards Third Line of Defense.
Raikage's Chakra is much stronger than Ai.
Ai is not in the defensive line. It seems that his injury is not healed yet.
Kaguya Clan Leader took a deep breath after hearing this.
"So many people, and Raikage..."
"Master Light Shadow, how are you going to fight this battle?"
"Let's try it first."
No one knows how hard Third Line of Defense is without a beating.
Early the next morning, Hyuga Village's ninjas set up their formation.
Shinichi flew into the sky and another Watchtower was lifted up.
But this time, as soon as Watchtower hit it, dozens of Lightning Release flew out from the defense line, all heading towards the Hyuga ninja at the foot of the mountain.
Repulsive Force!
Shinichi blocked several of them, but there were too many Lightning Releases to block them at all.
Kumogakure's ninja was well prepared and hid behind Stone Wall without showing his head at all.
Hyuga Village's ninja rushed under Stone Wall, and threw down hundreds of Kunai from Stone Wall, and a dozen Explosive Tag.
"Back off! Back off first!"
Hyuga's ninja retreated while dragging the injured person back to the foot of the mountain.
On Stone Wall, a figure over two meters tall stood out.
"It's Raikage!"
The Kumogakure ninja on Stone Wall followed and shouted.
"Lord Raikage!"
Raikage shouted to the sky.
"Shinichi Hyuga!"
"Can't you fly? Why don't you fly over and have a fight with me?"
"I'll be waiting for you right here!"
Kaguya Clan Leader was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"This Raikage is so arrogant!"
Shinichi stopped in mid-air and did not move.
Raikage is right behind Stone Wall.
If he goes to deal with Raikage, the Hyuga ninjas at the foot of the mountain will be surrounded and beaten by the Kumogakure ninjas in the defense line.
"Let him be arrogant for a few days."
After dark, casualties were reported.
"Master Light Shadow, there are more than sixty injured, including more than twenty seriously injured."
"There are... nine more people who have not been rescued."
No one in the camp spoke.
This is the first time someone has died in battle since Hyuga Village founded the village.
Shinichi walked to the nine corpses covered with white cloth and stood there for a long time.
These nine people all followed him from Hyuga Village.
Naoto Hyuga knelt beside a corpse, crying so hard that he could not speak.
That was Hyuga Chunin, Kenji Hyuga who was on the second line of defense and blocked the knife for him.
"Brother Kenji told me this morning that he would teach me Gentle Fist when he returns home after this battle..."
Shinichi squatted down, took a look at the white cloth, and then gently covered it back.
The bodies of the nine people were sent back to Hyuga Village early the next morning.
Medical Department's people were busy all night in the tents for the wounded.
The Kaguya ninja gave his rice balls to the injured Hyuga ninja.
Kaguya Clan Leader came over and lowered his voice.
"Master Light Shadow, do you still want to fight tomorrow?"
"No fight."
"No fight?"
"Third Line of Defense, there is no need to sacrifice human lives to fill it."
"Surround it up."
One Hyuga Jonin was stunned for a moment.
"Surround us. How long will we be surrounded?"
"Surround them until they run out of food."
Shinichi called Hyuga, Jonin, Genzō Aburame, and Kaguya Clan Leader.
"With so many people in Third Line of Defense, the amount of food they consume every day is not a small amount."
"All the food stored by the first and second lines of defense fell into our hands."
"Their logistics supplies can only be sent from the Mountain Road at the back."
"As long as their Logistics Supply Line is cut off, they won't be able to hold on for long."
"Hyuga's people guard the front of the defense line, Kaguya's people guard the mountains on both sides, Aburame's Kikaichū, scatter on the Mountain Road behind."
Genzō Aburame nodded.
"In the evening, I will take Kikaichū and Anbu over there."
Hyuga Jonin drives Byakugan and stares at the Mountain Road behind the defense line. As soon as Kumogakure's supply team comes over, report to Genzō Aburame.
That night, Anbu's people used Explosive Tag to attack Kumogakure's supply team, and a fire broke out on the Mountain Road behind it.
Kumogakure's batch of supplies has no trace left.
When it was almost dawn, Genzō Aburame came back with his people.
"Master Light Shadow, this batch of supplies from Kumogakure were all burned, and none of Anbu's people were injured."
For more than ten days in a row, Kumogakure's supply team came once and burned it once.
Raikage sent a team of Jonin to protect the supplies, but the people and supplies were burned together.
The Kumogakure ninjas in the defense line rushed out twice, but Byakugan had seen them a long time ago and was blocked back before they even rushed to the camp.
Naoto Hyuga follows Hyuga Jonin every day, watching Kumogakure's supply team next to Mountain Road.
Kakuzu sent people from Hyuga Village to deliver food and wound medicine, and also sent a few words.
"Spare it sparingly."
"This batch will be recorded in Kumogakure's account."
"Also, don't set off Explosive Tag like fireworks."
In Hyuga Village's camp, there are rice balls, Miso Soup and sometimes grilled fish every day.
The Kumogakure ninjas in the defense line can only eat Soldier Pill with plain water every day, and Byakugan can see clearly.
"Master Light Shadow, in Kumogakure's camp, there are fewer and fewer smoking stoves day by day."
In Tenseigan, in the innermost room of the defense line, Raikage smashed half of the wall with one punch.
On the eighteenth day of the siege, Anbu's people rushed back from Land of Fire's side.
"Light Shadow Master, Konoha has sent out troops."
"He said he was here to mediate."
"But Konoha's ninja only travels dozens of miles a day, stopping and going, and Land of Fire hasn't appeared yet."
Shinichi smiled.
"Tobirama wants to wait until Hyuga Village and Kumogakure are both injured before taking advantage."
At this moment, a homing pigeon flew over from the south and landed on Kaguya Clan Leader's shoulder.
Kaguya Clan Leader opened the letter, took one look at it, and his face suddenly turned pale.
