the next day.
On a rainy day, thick, dark clouds made the sky and earth gloomy, and the ground was covered with mud.
Silently, nearly a hundred people hid on a high ground, watching the distance and waiting quietly.
Ahead, several kilometers away on the plain, a vast battlefield could be seen, where a large number of ninjas were fighting each other.
Although the distance was somewhat far, thanks to the ninjas' eyesight, everyone could clearly see that the ninjas engaged in the chaotic battle were divided into two groups: one group wore the same green vests as them, while the other group wore the dark yellow vests of the Sunagakure.
The sounds of Ninjutsu booming, swords clashing, desperate roars, screams and whimpers echoed continuously, faintly audible even from several kilometers away.
Everyone held their breath, watching the battlefield in the distance, and waited silently in place.
A short while later, a reconnaissance squad returned from a distance.
The captain, a Hyuga Clan ninja, walked up to Shin'un and reported in a low voice.
"Report, confirmed. The line ahead is Konoha's defensive line against the Sand Ninja."
Nodding, Shin'un asked, "What are the details?"
"Hmm~"
After a moment's thought, the Hyuga Clan ninja replied, "For the time being, our forces are evenly matched with the Sand Ninja, but it's clear that we're already in a losing position."
Upon hearing this, Shin'un understood and was not surprised that his side had fallen into a losing position.
After all, it's not easy for Nara Shikahito to lead three thousand Konoha Ninja against five thousand Sand Ninja ninja.
Knowing that the situation could not be delayed, Shin'un decided to join the battle as soon as possible.
After a moment's thought, Shin'un addressed the several teams of ninjas behind him who were responsible for relaying orders:
"Order the main force in the rear to have the first four battalions join the battle from the front, while the remaining six battalions will split into two waves and circle around to the flanks of the battlefield."
"Eat your Military Rations Pill, perk up, and prepare for battle!"
"Yes!"
Several teams of ninjas responded and vanished in Body Flicker Technique, heading to the rear to relay orders to the main force.
After watching the messenger ninja leave, Shin'un turned his gaze back to the front.
"I didn't expect that I'd have to fight before even meeting the Jonin Nara."
Silently cursing to himself, Shin'un quietly opened the ninja tool pouch tied to his left thigh with his left hand and took out a Senju Secret Medicine.
Swallowing it in one gulp, the familiar warm current returned, and the fatigue in my body immediately began to recover, even my spirit was refreshed.
Feeling the effects of the Senju Secret Medicine, Shin'un took a deep breath.
This battle is destined to be long. The Senju Secret Medicine can relieve physical fatigue and accelerate Chakra recovery. Taking one now can help Shin'un relieve a significant portion of the pressure.
After a short while, Shin'un noticed a large number of footsteps rapidly approaching from behind and immediately looked back.
It was the thousands of Konoha Ninja had been following behind them.
Shin'un stood up and watched as the thousand ninjas automatically split into three waves according to his orders. The largest group ran towards him, while the remaining two groups separated and began to approach the sides of the battlefield.
As the more than four hundred ninjas responsible for the frontal attack gradually approached, Shin'un straightened up and looked towards the battlefield.
"Everyone, attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, nearly a hundred ninjas who were already prepared for battle rushed out from around Shin'un. At the same time, four hundred ninjas who had come from behind also arrived. The two groups joined forces and charged towards the battlefield.
"Sizzle~"
Shin'un narrowed his eyes, his body crackling with dim lightning, and charged to the forefront of the hundreds of ninjas.
"Um?"
"What?"
"Great! Our reinforcements have arrived!"
"Damn it, Konoha's reinforcements have arrived!"
"..."
The moment Shin'un led the Konoha Ninja to the battlefield without hiding, they were immediately spotted by some observant ninjas.
However, even if they discovered it, there was nothing they could do; they could not stop the approach of Konoha.
Time flew by, Konoha, having traversed several thousand meters, were about to enter the battlefield...
Just then, the front of the reinforcements suddenly lit up with a blue-purple light.
Then, a figure broke away from the group with ghostly speed and rushed straight into the battlefield.
Lightning Release: Lightning Spear!
Like a tiger descending a mountain, Shin'un charged directly into the battlefield with his menacing Lightning Spear.
With a focused mind, a terrifying reflex was activated, and everything around slowed down.
Wielding his Lightning Spear, Shin'un Genin over a dozen junior ninja in his path, creating a clean zone for Konoha on the battlefield.
Lightning Release: False Darkness!
Upon encountering an area teeming with Sunagakure, Shin'un swiftly Hand Seals with his left hand, his Chakra, and immediately unleashed a Lightning Release release.
In an instant, extremely dense electric current condensed into several lightning spears around Shin'un. With a thought from Shin'un, they all detached from their original positions and rushed straight towards the Sunagakure they were aiming at.
"Ah!"
A dozen or so wails rang out as another dozen or so Sunagakure died at Shin'un's hands.
"Sizzle!"
"Whoosh!"
"Sizzle!"
With relentless attacks, Shin'un used both hands and feet, his Lightning Spear never dissipating, relying on his right arm. Like a killing god on the battlefield, he continuously pierced through the chests of the Sunagakure, reaping lives.
Furthermore, the means of attack are not limited to Lightning Release.
With his [ Extreme Reaction ], everything in Shin'un's eyes was slowed down, just like those Uchiha ninjas with Sharingan.
With a single glance, everything around him was taken in.
Shin'un had ample time to devise appropriate attack or defense strategies to deal with everything around him.
The Kunai that was thrown was snatched by Shin'un and plunged into the neck of a nearby Sand Ninja.
The Explosive Tag that accompanied the Kunai were noticed by Shin'un, who swiftly peeled them off and stuck them directly to the chest of the Sand Ninja next to him.
After an explosion, the Sand Ninja was blown to pieces, while Shin'un had already been reaping the lives of other Sand Ninja elsewhere.
Even Ninjutsu could be detected by Shin'un in advance, and he could easily dodge it with the Lightning Body Flicker. Even if he couldn't dodge Ninjutsu Ninjutsu, he could forcefully pierce through it with the Lightning Spear on his right arm.
At the same time, when he sensed the right opportunity, Shin'un did not hesitate to activate Lightning Release. In an instant, countless violent electric currents would sweep over the target location, and each Lightning Release would often cause the deaths of several Sand Ninja.
When the Sunagakure Jonin, Shin'un did not hesitate to use Lightning Body Flicker to escape and then attacked the Sunagakure Genin, pursuing the highest killing efficiency.
After maintaining this pace for a few minutes, Shin'un looked around and was surprised to find himself at the very center of the battlefield.
In a short period of time, nearly a hundred Sand Ninja have died at the hands of Shin'un alone.
Wherever Shin'un passed, the pressure on the Konoha Ninja was greatly reduced, and many Konoha Ninja were even able to support their comrades, forming a slight advantage in the local area.
Unfortunately, such a terrifying pace of killing could not last long. Feeling the massive depletion of his Chakra, Shin'un had no choice but to stop and slow down.
In just a few seconds, three Sunagakure Jonin noticed Shin'un's presence and simultaneously surrounded him, each unleashing their strongest Shin'un.
