Chapter 178 Another battlefield(1/2)
What happens next is relatively simple.
After successfully killing the Fourth Raikage, Zefeng and his party separated.
Several Uchiha clan members and Konoha ninjas went to the front line of the battlefield.
Make up for the breach created by the Fourth Raikage.
Zefeng took the remaining people and returned to Konoha first.
On the one hand, it was to send Fugaku to the hospital for treatment.
On the other hand, it is to bring Kirabi back to the village.
Now that the Raikage is dead, according to Zefeng's vision, Kumogakure will soon stop invading Konoha.
But in this war, it was not just the Cloud Hidden Village that launched an invasion of Konoha.
The ninjas of Kirigakure Village also showed action.
only……
The Kingdom of Water, where Kirigakure Village is located, is an island nation, with no land bordering the Kingdom of Fire.
If they wanted to invade Konoha, they could only attack from the sea by boat.
The entire eastern part of the Fire Country is covered with rolling mountains.
Like a natural barrier.
Easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Only a few ninja teams are needed to limit the invasion plan of Kirigakure Village.
Based on this relationship, Mizukage Shikura chose the forest near the Fire Temple as the invasion route.
He led dozens of jounin and two hundred chuunin to launch an attack.
If Zefeng hadn't used genjutsu on the two Yukito's subordinates in advance.
Obtained information that Kirigakure Village would also participate in the war.
Mizukage Shikura takes advantage of the Kirigakure technique and can definitely catch Konoha off guard.
but……
Competitions between ninjas are often also intelligence competitions.
After learning about the alliance between Thunder and Water, Zephyr directly informed the Third Hokage of the matter.
Even though the political philosophies between the two are completely different.
But in the face of foreign enemies, we still chose unity.
The Third Hokage not only believed Zephyr's intelligence.
They also specially transferred the Hyuga clan to the vicinity of the Fire Temple.
Use their Byakugan's unique clairvoyance ability to counter the enemy's Kirigakure technique.
besides……
Famous ninjas such as Uchiha Itachi and Metkai also went to the southern front battlefield.
Fight against the ninjas of Kirigakure Village.
Stop their invasion ambitions.
at the same time……
Forest near the Fire Temple.
Countless ninjas are fighting here.
I thought I could take the lead in this war with a sneak attack.
But what Mizukage never expected was...
Not long after he led his men deep into the forest of the Land of Fire, Konoha's ninjas suddenly came out from both sides.
Many of them are members of the Hyuga clan with Byakugan.
Easily cracked their Mist Hidden Technique.
"Mizukage-sama."
"What do we do now?"
"Should we retreat first?"
The guards who had lost their positions came to his side one after another.
I can't help but feel a little anxious about the war situation.
It felt like their carefully planned plan had been mastered in advance.
Countless shinobi were trapped in the siege of Konoha ninjas!
This situation was completely beyond their expectation.
"retreat?"
Shi Cang glanced at the people around him and shook his head without thinking.
Agreeing to form an alliance with the Raikage was not a whim of his.
It's a carefully considered choice.
Kirigakure Village has always been located deep in the island, with inconvenient transportation.
The jobs they are good at are also assassination-type tasks.
But as the ninja world ushered in peace, the tasks they received would only become fewer and fewer.
There is no economic support.
Their Kirigakure Village will only become weaker and weaker.
In order to avoid this happening.
He was able to overcome all opinions and come up with the Blood Mist policy.
This is used to improve the quality of Mist Ninja.
But even so, the situation of decline in Kirigakure Village has not changed.
To change this completely.
Only after losing his position did he finally make up his mind to cooperate with Raikage.
Launch attacks from the north and south together.
Eating the leaves.
Then divide the land of the Fire Country into two parts.
Once successful, Kirigakure Village will receive very fertile land.
Become a giant in the ninja world.
But now...
On the contrary, the elites he led were trapped in Konoha's siege.
How could this not make him feel frustrated?
But after some entanglement, Mizukage lost his position and gave up the idea of retreating.
"Worrying about gains and losses and being indecisive will only make us farther and farther away from victory."
No matter how you say it, you are the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village.
And he is a perfect Jinchūriki with three tailed beasts.
Even the ninjas of Konoha can defeat their own subordinates.
They will never be their opponents.
Thinking of this, Shi Cang simply changed his mind and rushed directly into the battlefield.
have to say……
Although Konoha had grasped the information in advance, they launched the siege and achieved remarkable results.
Ke Fukang is one of the strongest five shadows in the world.
His strength is simply not something that several Konoha jounin can stop with their combined efforts.
It doesn't take a while.
Two ninja teams died tragically at the hands of Shi Cang.
"You must be the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village."
but……
To be continued...
