The ground in Kazama and Yagaya was completely soaked in blood, turning a dark red color.
In addition, there are remnants of the Hidden Mist Ninja's Water Release techniques.
These dark red lands were soaked and became soft and damp, like patches of mud.
With one stomp, your entire sole will be covered in blood and mud.
The valley is flanked by layers of mountain ranges, where the people of Konoha have built an impregnable fortress, vowing to defend it to the death.
In just a few days, hundreds of ninjas have died here, which shows how tragic it was!
"The fog is rolling in again, be careful!"
The alarm sounded again, and the Konoha ninjas immediately went into battle alert.
As expected, thick white fog rolled in from the valley entrance like a living thing, rapidly consuming the already limited light in the valley and drastically reducing visibility.
The technique of concealing oneself in mist!
The Hidden Mist's signature opening move utilizes dense fog to obscure vision, cover friendly actions, and disrupt enemy formations and ninjutsu usage.
Although the mist can be dispersed by wind release, on such a large-scale battlefield, even if it is dispersed, it will be quickly covered again. Moreover, the chakra consumption of wind release ninjutsu is far greater than that of the mist concealment technique, so it is not worth the effort.
Therefore, during this period, they were basically fighting in the fog.
However, this is not really a problem, since this is a positional battle, not an open field encounter.
The Hidden Mist's prized silent assassination technique is largely ineffective in positional warfare, as Konoha's countless sensory ninjas have already pinpointed the location of the Hidden Mist ninjas.
It's just a bit foggy, nothing serious.
"The Hidden Mist have pressed forward using the fog! They're less than 100 meters from the first line of defense! Prepare for battle!"
A Hyuga ninja activated his Byakugan and warned through the thick fog.
The ninjas around them all had solemn expressions and were ready to respond.
Suddenly, some Konoha ninjas seemed to smell a pungent sour odor and subconsciously frowned.
"What does it taste like? Why does it taste sour?"
"There's no smell. Could it be that you haven't washed up for the past few days and your skin is sour?"
"You're fucking farting! It really smells, it's pungent—wait, what's that?!"
The Konoha ninja belatedly widened their eyes and exclaimed in surprise.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
The white mist, which seemed no different from any other day, now concealed a deadly intent.
Wherever the fog passed, the rock surfaces were quickly corroded, creating pits, and the wooden barricades and fortifications softened, charred, and smoked at a visible speed.
Several Konoha ninjas who couldn't dodge in time were enveloped by the mist and immediately let out a shrill scream.
Their skin blistered and ulcerated instantly, as if it had been splashed with scalding acid. Even worse, the burning acidic steam was inhaled into their lungs, causing their respiratory tract and internal organs to feel as if they were being burned. The excruciating pain rendered them unable to fight, and they collapsed to the ground writhing in agony.
"Aaaaaah!"
"My face! My eyes!"
"What happened?!"
"Medical team! Quick, save him!"
"It's Boil Release! The Boil Release bloodline limit of Kirigakure!"
A seasoned Konoha Jonin's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply, "Everyone hold your breath! Put on your gas masks immediately! Use Wind Release to disperse the acidic mist!"
"Quick! Wind Release Team!"
The pungent sour smell and scorching steam, like invisible venomous snakes, spread through the thick fog, rapidly eroding Konoha's first line of defense.
This is not an ordinary Hidden Mist Technique, but an acidic mist infused with Mei Terumi's Kekkei Genkai and Boiling Release chakra!
The characteristic of Boil Release is that it transforms the chakra in the body into highly acidic, high-temperature steam. This not only burns the skin and corrodes objects, but more terrifyingly, it can also enter the body through respiration, damaging the respiratory tract and internal organs.
Mei Terumi's chakra control was exquisite. She evenly mixed the Boil Release power into the large-scale Hidden Mist Technique, turning the entire dense fog into a deadly acid mist domain!
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Wind Release: Gale!"
Several ninjas skilled in Wind Release within the Konoha formation immediately formed hand seals, unleashing several gusts of wind in an attempt to disperse the deadly acid mist.
The strong wind did indeed blow some of the fog backward, but it also revealed the shadowy figures of the Hidden Mist Ninja in the distance.
The main force of Kirigakure has moved!
"kill!!!"
A deafening battle cry erupted from the depths of the thick fog like a tsunami!
Countless Hidden Mist ninjas, clad in dark blue combat uniforms, surged in like a flood bursting its banks, fearlessly charging through the breach in the first line of defense weakened and disrupted by the acid mist!
Kunai and shuriken rained down like a storm, while the brilliance of Water Release and Lightning Release ninjutsu flashed in the mist, instantly tearing open several gaps in Konoha's first line of defense!
In close combat, blood and flesh flew everywhere!
At this moment, the war entered its most brutal and intense phase!
"Hold the line! Second wave, push them back!"
The commander of Konoha was shouting himself hoarse, and the front line instantly turned into a meat grinder.
Mei Terumi, a key figure in this surprise attack, was currently standing on a relatively safe high ground in the middle to rear of the Kirigakure attacking force.
Her red lips were tightly pursed, and she scanned the battlefield, slightly out of breath.
The range and intensity of that Boil Release attack just now caused her considerable damage, but it was clearly very effective!
"Well done, Ming!"
Makoto Koji's voice rang out beside her, filled with undisguised praise.
He glanced at the Konoha front line, which was being thrown into chaos by the boiling mist, and grinned: "Boiling Release opening, that's impressive! Konoha's formation is about to fall apart."
He turned his head and waved to the Mistblade Squad and the Mist Shadow Elite behind him, who were already eager to try.
"Men! We've torn a hole in the Boil Release!"
"Now, charge with me! Crush them!"
"roar!"
The Hidden Mist ninjas, who had been waiting for their turn, roared in unison, their fighting spirit soaring to the heavens!
"Blue! Byakugan activated! Guide the assault route and pinpoint enemy weaknesses!"
"Full Moon! Kisame! Yuri! You three go first, use your newly acquired ninja swords to hack away!"
"Xue, you and the medical team are ready to respond to the wounded at any time!"
"The rest of you, maintain formation, advance in stages, and proceed cautiously! Remember, our goal is to break through Kazama and Tani, not to recklessly charge in!"
With a series of clear orders issued, the Fog Shadow Assault Force was instantly activated, like a tightly wound war machine!
"Charge!"
Hozuki Mangetsu took the lead, gripping the newly acquired twin swords Hiramekarei tightly in both hands, his eyes gleaming with excitement and fighting spirit.
He moved with lightning speed, rushing into the area of boiling fog that had not yet completely dissipated.
The flounder twin swords seemed to come alive in his hands, their blades gleaming with a deep blue chakra light.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Instead of charging directly into the formation, Man Yue first used the environment created by the Hidden Mist Technique to summon a giant water dragon, which slammed into an area of the Konoha defense line that had been weakened by the Boiling Mist.
As the water jets crashed down, creating chaos and a slippery environment, the full moon's figure, cloaked in the mist, approached like a ghost!
"Flounder - Liberation!"
hum!
The two swords merged, and a huge ball of chakra light condensed at the tip of the blades, which was then fiercely unleashed at the hastily assembled Konoha ninja squad in front of them.
Boom!
A blinding blue light erupted, and a chakra shockwave swept across the ground like a cannonball, blasting several Konoha ninjas and the earthen wall they had hastily constructed away!
"Hahaha! That's awesome!"
Mangetsu laughed loudly, brandishing his flounder like a tiger charging into a flock of sheep, charging left and right through Konoha's front-line defenses.
Although this new toy is not as sharp as the White Fang Dagger, its powerful functionality will definitely have a greater effect on the battlefield than the White Fang Dagger!
Kisame Hoshigaki followed closely behind.
He wasn't as flashy as Full Moon; gripping the heavy Explosive Blade: Flying Drop, he moved forward silently and violently, like a heavy tank.
With the activation of chakra, the explosive tags attached to the Explosive Blade were instantly activated by chakra!
Boom boom boom!
A series of explosions spread outwards in a fan shape centered on Kisame, and the flames and shockwaves sent Konoha ninjas who tried to stop him flying.
Kisame, braving the aftershocks of the explosion, strode forward, each swing of his Explosive Blade accompanied by a dull whistling sound and a subsequent explosion—simple, brutal, and effective!
Ringo Yuuri was like a bolt of lightning.
She gripped the longsword, Sewing Needle, its blade already coiled with lightning chakra, emitting a hissing sound. Her figure flickered; the slender blade of Sewing Needle, amplified by the lightning, moved so fast that only afterimages remained.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Serpent!"
Puff puff!
With each flash, a Konoha ninja's vital organs were pierced, the wounds charred and emitting blue smoke.
Yuri's attacks were agile, swift, and deadly, targeting command nodes and long-range support ninjas within Konoha's formation, greatly disrupting Konoha's defensive organization.
"Well done!"
The surrounding Mist Ninjas were clearly taken aback by the three little ones' high spirits, and Makoto Karatachi also showed a satisfied expression.
These three were originally second-generation Ninja Swordsmen in the original work. Although they are not ninja swordsmen now, sword geniuses are naturally good at understanding weapons. At this moment, they have already shown the demeanor of Ninja Swordsmen!
Makoto Karatachi's Mist Blade Squad pierced Konoha's defenses like a sharp knife. Boiling Release: Acid Mist disrupted Konoha's defensive rhythm. The three youngsters shone brightly on the battlefield with their newly acquired ninja swords. The morale of the entire Mist Village assault force soared, and their offensive was swift and fierce!
However, Konoha is still Konoha.
After a brief period of chaos, Konoha's defenses began to demonstrate their profound foundation and resilience.
"Don't panic! Reorganize the formation! Reinforce the second line of defense!"
"Sensory unit reports the location of the enemy's elite squad!"
"The medical team is doing everything in its power to treat the wounded, with priority given to those poisoned!"
Commanders at all levels shouted at the top of their lungs, and orders were issued in an orderly manner.
The Konoha ninjas were well-trained and, even under the combined attack of acid mist and surprise assault, were able to quickly adjust and rely on the pre-set second and third lines of defense to block and slow down the advance of the Hidden Mist Village.
More importantly, Konoha's elite forces have begun to enter the fray!
"Spiritual communication!"
Bang!Bang!
Two enormous toads appeared on the flank of the battlefield amidst the smoke; they were none other than Gamabunta and Gamaken!
Jiraiya stood atop Gamabunta's head, his long white hair flying wildly amidst the surging chakra, his face paint standing out starkly against the smoke of battle.
"Those brats from Kirigakure are having quite a blast!"
Jiraiya's voice was loud and clear as he rapidly formed hand seals.
"Bunta, come on!"
"no problem!"
The surging toad oil gushed from Gamabunta's mouth, and Jiraiya formed hand seals, unleashing a burst of Fire Release.
"Toad Oil Flame Bomb!"
The moment the toad oil met the flames, the entire battlefield was like a powder keg with its fuse ignited!
Rumble!!!
The towering pillar of flame, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures capable of incinerating everything, instantly engulfed a large area.
Unable to dodge in time, the Hidden Mist ninja screamed as they were engulfed in flames. Even those who were far away were forced to retreat by the scorching heat and the splashing burning toad oil, causing their formation to fall into chaos once again.
Most importantly, several Mist Ninjas tried to extinguish the fire with water, but found that the fire jutsu could not be put out with ordinary water jutsu!
"Scatter! Scatter quickly! Avoid the fire zone!"
"Water Release Team! Concentrate your Water Release techniques to suppress the flames! Use Water Release: Nature Transformation!"
A Jonin roared, but Jiraiya's charged attack was too powerful. The toad oil covered a wide area, and the flames almost formed a wall of fire in front of the Kirigakure assault force, causing casualties and severely hindering the Kirigakure's advance.
"Damn it, where is Lord Yagura?!"
"We're being held back by the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and the Root group!"
"Damn it!"
King against king, general against general.
Top-tier powerhouses naturally require top-tier powerhouses to deal with them, a situation that is especially evident in worlds with extraordinary power.
A top-tier expert in a war, without an equal to restrain him, is like a tiger among sheep!
"The Legendary Sannin of Konoha, are you setting up such a tiny fire to light my birthday candles?!"
Just as the flames raged and the Mist Shadow's offensive was thwarted, a voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
It was clear that Gouju Cheng had somehow broken away from the main force and was now floating alone in mid-air, his black clothes fluttering in the sea breeze.
He looked down at the raging sea of fire below, and at Jiraiya standing atop Gamabunta on the other side, staring at him, a cold smile on his face.
Jiraiya raised an eyebrow, his gaze sharp as he looked at the young Mist Village genius in the air.
He had already seen too much information about Makoto Kuraki.
With his cloned bloodline limit, two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, space-time ninjutsu, unpredictable appearances and strange methods, he is currently Konoha's number one threat!
"You're Makoto Gojibana?"
Jiraiya asked in a deep voice.
Gouju Cheng crossed his arms and said, "It's the real deal."
"Good lad!" Jiraiya laughed heartily, his laughter bold yet tinged with coldness. "Let me see just how much this brat, who can kill Shinnosuke and make that old fox Danzo so angry, really is!"
Before he finished speaking, Jiraiya had already formed hand seals.
A thousand needles!
His long white hair instantly hardened, transforming into countless sharp needles that shot towards Gouju Cheng in the air like a torrential rain. The speed was so fast that the sound of the air being torn apart was sharp and piercing!
This move has an extremely wide range and is incredibly fast, leaving almost no room to dodge!
However, Makoto Koji had no intention of dodging.
His eyes darted around, and Fugaku's kaleidoscope had been activated!
"Susanoo!"
In an instant, a vast, ocean-like chakra erupted from his body and soared into the sky.
Chakra rapidly condensed and shaped, emitting a low roar like a giant beast awakening.
Skeletal formation!
Flesh and blood clung together!
Meridians are entangled!
In the blink of an eye, a towering blue giant suddenly descended upon the battlefield.
The giant was not in its complete form, but it already stood tens of meters tall. It was clad in ancient armor, with bone-like armor covering its joints, and its muscles were outlined by pure chakra, exuding an explosive sense of power.
And the true form of Makoto Kotachibana stands at the center of Susanoo!
At that moment, the sounds of fighting on the entire battlefield seemed to be paused.
The ninjas from both Kirigakure and Konoha instinctively stopped what they were doing, looked up in horror at the Susanoo Gundam that stood like a mountain!
Fear, shock, disbelief —
A mix of emotions was etched on every face.
"What—what is that thing?!"
"It was Lord Cheng! Lord Cheng summoned them!"
"This is... Susanoo?!"
Makoto Karatachi had used Susanoo several times on the battlefield, but each time they saw it, the shock it brought them was just as overwhelming.
Mei Terumi stood on the high ground, her emerald green eyes fixed on Susanoo in the air, her red lips slightly parted, her heart surging with turbulent waves.
Is this the true power of sincerity?
No wonder he dared to face Jiraiya alone!
Jiraiya stood atop Gamabunta's head, and the paint on his face seemed to darken slightly.
The densely packed needles shot out had no effect on Susanoo at all. Makoto Karatachi simply waved his hand and blew away and crushed all the needles that came close to him!
Those hardened hairpins, strong enough to pierce through rock, are as fragile and powerless as toothpicks in front of Susanoo.
"You really wield this power with great skill, Makoto Kuraki!"
Jiraiya gritted his teeth and said.
This power should have belonged to the Uchiha clan, it should have belonged to Konoha, but because of some foolish and wrong decisions, it ended up like this.
"Of course."
Faced with Jiraiya's angry gaze, Makoto Shiro shamelessly agreed.
"This power is unworthy of your Konoha; it is naturally my turn to restore it to the world!"
"How dare you!"
Jiraiya's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Bunta! Ken! Attack him together! Restrain his movements!"
"clear!"
"Leave it to me!"
Gamabunta and Gamaken simultaneously let out low growls, their massive bodies bursting with astonishing agility as they pounced on the deep blue giant in the air, one on the left and one on the right.
Gamabunta drew his short sword with a whooshing sound as it tore through the air, aiming straight for Susanoo's leg joint!
Gamaken, wielding a massive forked weapon and holding a shield in front of him, rammed into Susanoo's abdomen like a battering ram!
The combined attack of the two giant summoned beasts was terrifying, enough to flatten a small stronghold!
However, Makoto Koji simply gave a cold laugh.
Susanoo neither dodged nor evaded, but instead held his left hand in a fist, conjuring a katana, and unleashed a fierce attack on the charging Gamabunta.
His right arm spread its five fingers, and dense deep blue chakra condensed in his palm, transforming into a huge chakra shield to block Gamaken's impact!
"Bang!!!"
"boom!!!"
Two extremely muffled thuds, like meteorites hitting the earth, made the eardrums of countless ninjas below ache and their blood surge.
Gamabunta's short sword clashed with Susanoo's katana, unleashing blinding sparks and chakra turbulence.
Gamabunta's strength was immense, yet he couldn't shake Makoto Karatachi, who had already activated the third stage of Susanoo. Instead, the terrifying power contained in Susanoo's attack made Gamabunta's arm go numb, and his massive body involuntarily staggered backward.
On the other side, Gamaken's full-force charge slammed into the chakra shield.
The shield remained motionless, and Susanoo's body trembled, causing him to stagger slightly.
Hamaken himself was so dizzy from the recoil that he staggered backward and almost lost his footing.
"How is that possible?!"
"This defensive power—"
Wen Tai and Jian were horrified.
They are top-tier summoning beasts from Mount Myōboku, possessing unparalleled power among summoning beasts. Yet, even their combined attack couldn't defeat their opponent?!
