The battle continues.
Konoha's offensive was indeed fierce, but it lasted only ten minutes.
He advanced over a thousand meters and killed hundreds of Iwagakure ninjas.
But the battle losses on Konoha's side were only fifty or sixty people.
This is already a great achievement!
After all, this is the hometown of [Iwagakure Village].
It is really impressive that Konoha can fight thousands of Iwagakure ninjas with less than a thousand troops and achieve such results.
Of course, the most important thing is to rely on unexpected tactics and the ferocity of their own elites to gain the upper hand.
Soon, the ninjas of Konoha were about to invade the hinterland of [Iwagakure Village] and prepare to destroy the Tsuchikage Building, which symbolized the spiritual pillar of Iwagakure.
The Sandaime Tsuchikage Onoki also joined the battle with a group of personal guards and ANBU ninjas.
I have to admit that although Konoha's raid was fierce.
But the strength of this old boy Ohnoki cannot be overshadowed.
Even excluding the unique blood inheritance elimination [Chen Escape], his overall strength is not much worse than the third generation Hokage Sarutobi.
If you include the lethality of [Chen Escape], it might even be slightly better.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen is also not a vegetarian.
Although as he gets older, his strength is no longer what it was when he was victorious. But if you really use those trump card ninjutsu and fight to the death, who will win and who will lose is still unknown...
Moreover, Sarutobi himself admitted that he had witnessed Onoki's Dust Release.
It is enough to prove that the two must have fought against each other in the previous ninja wars.
As the village chiefs of both sides, if they meet, if they can kill the enemy's 'commander', it will be a huge improvement in both strategy and morale.
Therefore, whether it was Hiruzen or Onoki, they would use all their strength to kill each other and would never show mercy.
But to this day, both of them are still alive and well.
It is enough to show that the strength gap between the two is not too big.
Of course, it is also very possible that Ohnoki lost to the young Sarutobi and ran away in despair.
After all, Ohnoki has the 'Dancing Sky Technique' and the long-distance and large-area instant death skill 'Chen Escape'. As long as he wanted to leave, no one in the ninja world at that time could keep him...
But this time, it's different.
Behind Ohnoki is the hinterland of his village, the [Tsuchikage Building]. There is no way for him to retreat!
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you bastard!"
"Do you want to start another ninja war?!!"
Onoki cursed loudly while performing the technique.
Huge rock and earth monsters created by the 'Earth Release: Gosashiki Jutsu' rose up from the ground and joined the battle, blocking the Konoha army.
"You who took advantage of the situation are the ones who deserve to die the most!"
"It's useless to talk any more. Today, I'm going to destroy your Yanyin Village!"
Sarutobi roared loudly.
When I think of Koharu's tragic death, I think of those Konoha ninjas who sacrificed their lives.
He was so angry that he had no time to argue with Ohnoki!
"Composite Ninja Technique: Earth Dragon Fire Style!"
"Composite Ninja Technique: Thunder Water Dragon Bullet!"
"Ninja Technique: Shuriken Shadow Clone!"
"Psychic·Ape King·Ape Demon!"
Compound ninjutsu that honed the changes in chakra properties to the extreme were sprayed out from the mouths of Sarutobi and his clones, instantly flooding a large area around them.
Dozens of houses hidden in the rocks collapsed instantly.
Even though Sarutobi was always indecisive in his own village.
But after going to the battlefield, he was never soft-hearted.
If he had been soft-hearted on the battlefield, he would not be alive now.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen! You are seeking death!"
"Dust Escape·The Art of Original Realm Peeling!"
Seeing the enemy wreaking havoc at will and the casualties in the village increasing, Onoki almost went crazy.
He even used the bloody elimination [Chen Escape] desperately, just to severely damage these Konoha ninjas!
…
I have to admit that when the old boy Ohnoki went crazy, he was really scary.
The almost invincible [Chen Escape] swept away the lives of several Konoha ninjas along the way.
Although, it is indeed very easy to hurt innocent people when using such a large-scale killing ninjutsu in your own village.
However, at this critical moment, we can’t care so much.
In this way, Onoki alone blocked most of Konoha's ferocious offensive.
Seeing this, Onoki was also happy.
After all, he saw it too.
The number of people who raided Konoha this time was not large, definitely less than a thousand!
As long as we can block their offensive and mobilize the manpower from the west to back up, we will definitely be able to turn losses into profits!
Even destroying Konoha is not impossible!
But, just now.
The changes in Konoha made Onoki dumbfounded again.
The one on the opposite side, the Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi who had been fighting the most ferociously and fiercely, suddenly stopped his attack.
He directly led a group of Konoha ninjas and began to retreat.
There was no hesitation or any hesitation.
Hundreds of Konoha ninjas retreated towards the outside of [Iwagakure Village] while cutting off their rear.
All that was left was a mess and a large area of ruins.
…
Seeing Konoha retreating so simply, Onoki was also confused.
After all, we only need to delay for a while until the large forces from Iwagakure Village surround us.
These main forces of Konoha are bound to be unable to escape!
But now, the other party retreated directly!
"Konoha was defeated?"
"Is it possible that you saw through your plan?"
"No, it doesn't matter whether you see through it or not."
"We must not let Konoha escape so easily!"
Ohnoki had a dark face and roared in his heart.
He came and left whenever he wanted, and he caused so many casualties to the village.
If Konoha is really allowed to escape easily, then his own Iwagakure Village will no longer have to mess around...
There is no need for me to assume the position of Tsuchikage...
No matter what, Konoha must pay the price!
Onoki, who was furious, did not hesitate.
He immediately organized his men and led a group of Iwagakure ninjas in pursuit of Konoha's retreat.
It wasn't like he hadn't thought about it, that this might be Konoha's plan to "tune the tiger away from the mountain".
But, since nearly half of the village was destroyed anyway, there was nothing that couldn’t be lost.
On the contrary, it is unlikely that Konoha still has hidden troops.
Therefore, if I can lead thousands of Iwagakure ninjas and wipe out Konoha's main force and the Sandaime Sarutobi, it will be a real loss!
You can even make a huge profit to make up for today’s losses!
How could Onoki not be moved?
…
…
at the same time.
Outside [Iwagakure], behind the inconspicuous rock to the south.
Jiraiya and the others who were lurking here finally got their chance.
"How's it going?"
"Back to Jiraiya-sama, Nara Shikaku-sama's troops have withdrawn from the west..."
"To the southeast, Hokage-sama's troops also retreated..."
"However, there are still a large number of Iwagakure pursuers behind it, probably more than 3,000 people!"
A ninja from the Hyuga branch was looking into the distance with [White Eyes] on, and quickly reported.
Jiraiya: "Can you clearly see the leader of Iwagakure's pursuit force?"
"I can't see clearly. But the man doesn't look very tall, and he's still flying in the sky!"
Hearing this, Jiraiya felt happy:
"Flying in the sky? That should be Ohnoki!"
"Sarutobi-sensei and the others have indeed deceived the Sandaime Tsuchikage."
"Very good, it's time for us to take action!"
"Everyone, prepare to attack!"
"Remember the requirement: If you encounter an enemy ninja, try to kill it quickly! Never get entangled with them to avoid being exposed!"
"yes!"
Following an order, the 'Knife Team' led by Jiraiya immediately attacked.
They all hid their bodies and rushed into [Iwagakure Village] again.
…
