Mito Uzumaki, the princess from the Land of Whirlpools, is now an important figure in Konoha. When she heard that her motherland had been invaded and half of its land had been occupied, her heart burned with rage. Desperate, she stepped forward to save the land that gave her birth and nurtured her. She resolutely accepted the Hokage Tobirama Senju's arrangement and led an army of 80,000 ninja to the Land of Whirlpools.
Upon arriving in the Land of Whirlpools, Mito Uzumaki was greeted by a scene of utter devastation. Ruins and smoke filled the air; the once bustling town was now deathly silent, and the people were struggling in agony amidst the flames of war. This tragic sight ignited a resolute anger in Mito Uzumaki's eyes, and without hesitation, she ordered the mobilization of her troops.
" Shikaboshi Nara!" Mito Uzumaki's voice was firm, echoing throughout the entire camp. "You will lead 40,000 men to attack the enemy's Eastern Army. Vice-Generals Momiji Yamanaka, Chozan Akimichi, and Kunikazu Hitaka Hirotaka Masuda. You must defeat the enemy!" Shikaboshi Nara knelt on one knee, accepted the order, and left. His eyes revealed calmness and confidence. He knew the difficulty of this mission, but with his excellent strategy and the team's cooperation, he was confident that he could give the enemy a crushing defeat.
" Mumei Senju!" Mito Uzumaki shouted again, "You will lead 40,000 troops to attack the enemy's western army. Your lieutenants are Natsuki Gekko, Kenzan Uzuki, Nanrei Inuzuka, and Hikaru Aoki. Do not underestimate the enemy, attack with all your might!" Mumei Senju looked serious, and after receiving the order, he quickly reorganized his troops to prepare to meet the enemy.
"He personally led a thousand Senju clan members to support the capital of the Land of Land of Whirlpools. I have only one request for you: kill any ninja from the Land of Water who enters the Land of Whirlpools without mercy, until all the ninjas from the Land of Water are driven back into the sea!" Mito Uzumaki's words were full of authority and domineering power, making every ninja present feel her firm determination.
The Konoha army sprang into action, and a major battle was about to erupt.
Shikaboshi Nara's army encountered Hozuki Gengetsu's 50,000-strong army of ninja from the Land of Water on the eastern battlefield. Hozuki Gengetsu, a powerful member of the Hozuki Clan, possessed a fearsome ability to transform into water. He stood before the army, coldly looking at Shikaboshi Nara's troops, a disdainful sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.
" Konoha ninjas, today is your burial ground." Hozuki Gengetsu's voice was icy and chilling.
Shikaboshi Nara remained calm as he unhurriedly directed his troops to quickly form battle formations. Momiji Yamanaka unleashed a mental technique, instantly filling the entire battlefield with an eerie atmosphere. The ninjas of the Land of Fire seemed to enter a state of spiritual connection and mental communion, allowing Shikaboshi Nara's orders to be issued to every single combat unit in this way.
"Hmph, child's play." Hozuki Gengetsu sneered. With a wave of his hand, the ninjas of the Land of Water quickly Hand Seals, and streams of Water Release shot towards Shikaboshi Nara's army.
Upon Chozan Akimichi immediately stepped forward. He Hand Seals, and his body rapidly expanded, becoming like a giant. With a loud shout, he charged towards the Water Release, using his powerful body to forcefully block the attack.
"Don't panic, everyone! Follow the plan and obey my commands!" Shikaboshi Nara shouted through the telepathic communication technique. He ordered Kunikazu Hitaka and Hirotaka Masuda to attack from both sides. The two clan leaders each led 10,000 men to use Ninjutsu to attack the Land of Water's army from both flanks. In an instant, the battlefield was filled with the flashing light of Jonin and the deafening shouts of battle.
Hozuki Gengetsu personally took action, unleashing the powerful Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique. A massive water dragon roared as it charged towards Shikaboshi Nara's army. Shikaboshi Nara's expression turned grim. The enemy commander intended to wipe out his central force first. He quickly ordered his ninja army to prepare for defense, employing various Earth Release techniques to block the water dragon. He sneered inwardly, "Then I'll keep you here and let my main forces on both flanks wipe out your rear."
In the fierce battle, the Land of Water brought the Konoha to the brink of collapse, but the Konoha army managed to hold on securely in the end. The two sides fought back and forth, neither giving an inch. The ninjas on the battlefield suffered heavy casualties, but not a single one retreated.
Report! Our left and right flanks have been overrun by the Konoha Legion, and the enemy is now attacking our rear. The Anbu, who have requested reinforcements for the fifth time, have arrived before Hozuki Gengetsu.
Hozuki Gengetsu roared, "What's going on? Are you all useless? I've already crippled their main force in the center, and I was about to swallow them whole. Tell me, the left and right flanks have been wiped out!" He now faced two choices: continue the attack to devour the Land of Fire's crumbling center, or retreat to reinforce his rear. He stared intently at the Land of Fire 'Land of Fire line, which had been shaky for so long, and knew it could be broken at any moment by his own army. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Everyone, one last all-out attack!" He then personally charged into the enemy ranks. Actually, this wasn't the first time this had happened. Shikaboshi Nara had exploited the gambler's mentality, gradually making the enemy believe they could win.
The Land of Fire, once again teetering on the brink of defeat, withstood the attack of the Land of Land of Water's army. Hozuki Gengetsu and ordered, "Retreat!" However, before he could issue the order, the already crumbling Land of Fire army launched a counterattack.
Shikaboshi Nara had already learned all the intelligence through the secret technique of telepathy and had calculated the timing perfectly. Just now, the enemy's last attempt to capture his central army had been made. The main force had also launched an attack on the enemy's rear army. If the enemy's main force retreated to protect their rear army, it would only be a minor victory. What Shikaboshi Nara wanted was a great victory and a complete victory.
Hozuki Gengetsu witnessed over a thousand giants appear in the central army of the Land of Fire ( Akimichi Clan secret technique Multi-Size Technique ). They then collectively unleashed their secret technique Human Bullet Tank, rolling towards and crushing the Land of Water's army. The Land of Water's frontline troops were like fools and idiots, motionless as they were slaughtered. It turned out they were all bound by the Nara Clan's secret technique, Shadow Possession Jutsu. The Land of Water's army tried to turn back to rescue their comrades, only to find their own comrades turning their swords against their own. Caught off guard, countless more died. These sudden traitors had all been afflicted by the Yamanaka Clan's secret technique, Mind Body Switch Technique. The Land of Water was stunned, suffering heavy casualties.
Hozuki Gengetsu finally realized he'd been tricked. The Land of Fire had been hiding its true strength all along; the Akimichi Clan had only a few hundred giants before, but now there were over a thousand. Their seemingly crumbling defenses had actually been meticulously controlled all along. He'd been played. Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka —you're all good! Those who dared to trick Hozuki Gengetsu will make you pay a price you can't bear! Hozuki Gengetsu led his elite troops in a desperate escape towards the sea. That was their clan's main battlefield.
Shikaboshi Nara suddenly shivered, as if he were being watched by some ferocious beast. As a highly intelligent person, he had a very bad feeling.
The Land of Fire army pursued the Land of Water army all the way to the sea before stopping. Chozan Akimichi approached Shikaboshi Nara and said, "Shikaboshi, why did you let these people go? Weren't you aiming for a complete victory?"
Shikaboshi Nara laughed, "You, a big shot, figured it out?"
Chozan Akimichi rolled his eyes at Shikaboshi Nara and said, "Nonsense, I'm tall and strong, not stupid. You're telling me to slow down? There's no one blocking our way ahead. Do you think I wouldn't see something so obvious?"
Shikaboshi Nara laughed, "Wouldn't it be better to keep these ten thousand-plus main forces of the Land of Water to deal with the Senju Clan? What if they retreat after we kill them all? Our goal is to keep Mito Uzumaki tied up here so she can't provide support anywhere. Once Tobirama Senju and Senju Yasuhei are dead, a mere woman like Mito Uzumaki won't be able to compete with us for the rights to Konoha."
At this moment, the Momiji Yamanaka came to his side and said, "The casualty count is almost complete. The central army suffered 6,322 casualties, and the main forces on the left and right flanks suffered 5,218 casualties. More than 43,000 enemy soldiers were killed. A great victory!"
Shikaboshi Nara said: Who cares about that? How many people from the Ino-Shika-Cho Clans died or were injured?
Momiji Yamanaka Road: 2 members of the Yamanaka Clan were injured or killed, 1 member of the Nara Clan was injured, and Jūni members of the Akimichi Clan were injured or killed.
Shikaboshi Nara said, "It's still acceptable! Next time Akimichi Clan shouldn't be so impulsive. If they get into a Red Eye, it's their own clansmen who will die."
Chozan Akimichi chuckled and said, "I couldn't stop myself."
