Chapter 178: Another battlefield (2 updates)

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, Cloud Hidden Village will soon stop invading Konoha.

But in this war, it was not just Kumogakure that launched an invasion of Konoha.

The ninjas of Kirigakure Village also show action.

only……

The Country of Water where Kirigakure Village is located is an out-and-out island country, with no land bordering the Country 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 filled with rolling mountains.

Like a natural barrier.

Easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It only takes a few ninja teams to limit the invasion plan of Kirigakure Village.

Based on this relationship, Mizukage Yagura selected the invasion route in the forest near the Fire Temple.

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 Yagura takes advantage of the Kirigakure technique to definitely catch Konoha off guard.

but……

Competitions between ninjas are often also intelligence competitions.

After learning that Thunder and Water had joined forces, Zephyr directly informed the Third Hokage of the matter.

Even though the political ideas 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.

The Hyuga clan was also specially transferred 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 Itachi Uchiha and Metkai also went to the southern battlefield.

Fight against the ninjas of Kirigakure Village.

Stop their invasion ambitions.

at the same time……

The forest near the Fire Temple.

Countless ninjas are fighting here.

I thought I could take advantage of this war by sneak attack.

But what Mizukage Yagura 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?"

"Do you want to retreat first?"

Yagura's guards came to his side, the Mizukage.

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 expectations.

"retreat?"

Yagura glanced at the people around him and shook his head without thinking.

Agreeing to form an alliance with the Raikage was not something he planned on a whim.

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 policy of Blood Mist.

This will improve the quality of Mist Ninja.

But even so, the situation of decline in Kirigakure Village has not changed.

To change this completely.

Yagura finally made 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 Yagura 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 what, he is the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village.

And he is also a perfect Jinchūriki with three tailed beasts.

Even Konoha's ninjas can defeat their own subordinates.

They will never be their opponents.

Thinking of this, Yagura 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.

But Yagura is one of the strongest Five Shadows in the world.

His strength is beyond the reach of several Konoha jounin who can stop him together.

It doesn't take a while.

Two ninja teams died tragically in Yagura's hands.

"You must be the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village."

but……

Just when Yagura was about to rely on his own strength to tear open a breakthrough in Konoha's encirclement net.

Two Konoha ninjas suddenly fell from the sky and blocked his way.

One of them was wearing tights the color of a watermelon rind, which gave him a completely different look from the other ninjas.

Just like a funny character.

And he is none other than the elite Jonin sent here by the Third Hokage.

Metkai!

"Come on, Metkai, the blue beast of Konoha!"

I saw him holding one hand behind his back and making provocative gestures with the other hand.

The corners of his mouth raised, revealing a smile.

The white teeth gave off a cross-shaped sparkle.

The person standing next to him was from the Uchiha clan. He was wearing an ANBU uniform and had a black single ponytail tied behind his head.

It was Itachi Uchiha!

He observed Mizukage Yagura with a vigilant expression.

It is obviously impossible to say that there is no pressure at all.

After all, the other party is the upright Mizukage!

But Itachi didn't have the hobby of announcing his family status like Metkai.

"We will not let you move forward anymore." Metkai expressed his position while getting ready to face Yagura.

As long as it's a ninja trying to invade the village.

Whatever the Mizukage or Raikage he is.

As a blue beast, I was the first to refuse.

"This war is pointless."

Itachi spoke slowly, trying to persuade Mizukage Yagura to give up the idea of ​​invading Konoha.

I hope he can take the other mist ninjas and retreat out of the border of the Fire Country.

But why would Yagura give up this plan just because of Itachi's words?

At this moment, he didn't even bother to answer, and made clean and neat gestures with his hands.

Decisively launched a preemptive attack.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

As the Yagura seal was released, huge waves surged from under his feet and rose toward the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye.

During the rotation, it transformed into a majestic water dragon.
