The hope of reversing the situation of the war rests on Hatake Sakumo.
Compared with the ninja troops of the other four major countries, the ninja troops from Kirigakure are relatively more brutal and fierce. Whether internally or externally, they also like all kinds of cruel and killing methods, and their mission completion rate is also higher than that of other ninja villages. With more persistent demands, the whole team will be wiped out if the mission fails...
But at the same time, there is also an obvious shortcoming, which is lack of unity and poor discipline.
The Kirigakure ninja who grew up in the bloody massacre in the blood mist would never have such precious qualities as unity and discipline.
At this time, the mobile troops and the Uzumaki tribe were already surrounded by the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces. However, with the push of Uchiha Tokumitsu and a group of Uchiha Jonin, they still pushed forward slowly but firmly.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Extinguishing Arrows!"
Ten powerful fire spears were shot forward in unison, and all the Kirigakure ninjas and ninjutsu who tried to block them along the way were defeated.
In the face of the unconventionally powerful combined fire ninjutsu, even the water ninjutsu with its chakra attributes cannot stop the Uchiha clan's fire ninjutsu.
At this time, we were still about one kilometer away from the Kirigakure main formation command post.
Everyone in the mobile unit, whether they were from the Uchiha clan or other ninjas, were basically all injured, and their combat effectiveness dropped by about 30% compared to before the war.
Although the Uzumaki ninja can still maintain high-intensity sealing barriers and ninjutsu attacks, his bright red hair has basically begun to look gray.
"Earth Escape: Earth Current City Wall!"
The Iwagakure ninjas in the southern encirclement teamed up to use earth-bending protective ninjutsu to block all attacks from the mobile troops and the Uzumaki tribe, but there was no obvious offensive posture.
On the contrary, Kumogakure's lunatic began to lose control.
"Thunder Release: Thunder Dog!"
"Thunder Escape·Thunder Snake!"
A large number of messy and various thunder escape ninjutsus were thrown towards the increasingly smaller positions of the mobile troops and whirlpool ninjas.
As outsiders, Kumogakure and the others naturally don't mind whether they cause accidental injuries.
As Iwagakure and Kumogakure began to get serious about joining the battle, in the Genshi main formation at the rear, several more ninjas broke away from their guard duty and came forward.
"Four Purple Flame Formation!"
The eight Uzumaki ninjas held on to their last breath, and doubled the number of people in a group of two to forcefully launch the Four Purple Flame Formation in a short time to block Kumogakure's large-scale concentrated ninjutsu attack and sporadic Kirigakure water escape ninjutsu. .
However, the sealing technique barrier collapsed under the indiscriminate bombardment of a large number of ninjutsu, and it did not last long before it collapsed.
"Fire Escape·The Great Fire Extinguishes!"
"Wind Release·Big Hurricane!"
Just when the sealing technique barrier was about to collapse, the Uchiha jonins once again joined forces to use high-level fire escape ninjutsu and counterattacked towards Kumogakure under the amplification of wind escape from Shimura ninja.
Waves of ninjutsu exploded, making the battlefield even more chaotic.
At this time, even if he is injured and falls to the ground, he will inevitably be affected by endless attacks and die.
Uchiha Tokko took a deep breath and quickly scanned the battlefield.
After the initial attack, with the additional jounin support sent by Kirigakure's main formation, Kirigakure's front gradually stabilized and began a powerful counterattack.
Seeing that the offensive of the mobile unit was slightly weakened, Iwagakure and Kumogakure also began to seriously plan to seize the fruits of victory.
What to do next?
By now, it can be clearly seen that it is basically impossible to defeat the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army with only one-tenth of the force of the existing mobile forces plus the Uzumaki Ninja personnel, but it is even less possible. Stop completely, otherwise it won't take long to be surrounded by all kinds of defensive ninjutsu, and be slowly bombarded to death by endless ninjutsu.
After a slight hesitation, Uchiha Tokumitsu threw the kunai with the detonating talisman hidden in the hollow towards the Kumogakure camp.
Although Uchiha Tokumitsu's Ninja Tool Throwing Technique is not as outstanding as his Fire Release and Sword Technique, it is at the same level as Uchiha Jōnin.
Watching the kunai drawing strange arcs in the air about to fly into Kumogakure's camp, Uchiha Tokumitsu was ready to activate the mutual detonation talisman.
Suddenly, the flying kunai hovered in the air, and then began to turn around in midair and seemed to be turning to fly into the position of the mobile unit.
not good!
Uchiha Tokko's pupils tightened, and he quickly activated the detonating talisman in the kunai to cause an explosion.
A violent explosion caused Kumogakure to temporarily stop his offensive.
An imposing Kumogakure ninja with a scroll in his mouth spread his hands in front of his face and activated his ninjutsu to control Uchiha Tokumitsu's special detonating talisman kunai.
It's Troy, the commander of the Kumogakure ninja army and the magnetic escape ninja.
"cut!"
The most hated opponent of Uchiha ninjas, besides water escape ninjas, is this special blood successor ninja who can control ninja tools.
For Uchiha ninjas who have endless methods, facing the magnetic escape ninja, the flashy and economical ninja tool throwing technique can basically be considered useless.
"Uchiha style: Halo dance!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu jumped up instantly, brandishing the Odachi, urging the chakra in his body to release. As his body turned in mid-air, the surging Fire Release Chakra danced with the light of the sword, and slashed towards Commander Troy of Kumogakure. One after another flame impact.
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
Worried about insufficient attack, Uchiha Tokumitsu also launched high-level fire escape ninjutsu and covered it in the direction of Kumogakure.
In addition, the large scroll behind him flickered with light, and detonating talismans flew out quickly, and under the control of the flying talisman technique, they flew towards Kumogakure under the cover of the haze of the battlefield.
If he thought that controlling Uchiha Tokumitsu's kunai would prevent the use of the mutual detonation talisman, then Troy's calculation was wrong.
There are still about 10,000 detonating charms in reserve in the big scroll, and Uchiha Tokumitsu plans to give them all to Kumogakure.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The high-intensity ninjutsu attack and the bombardment of a large number of detonating symbols made Kumogakure, who had just launched the offensive, panic for a while. When he switched defensive formations, loopholes appeared under the bombardment of detonating symbols.
Dozens of detonating symbols flew close to the Kumogakure formation.
A Kumogakure ninja saw the detonating charm flying close to the ground out of the corner of his eye and was frightened.
"Be careful, get up..."
Before he could finish his words, the detonating talisman exploded suddenly.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
An extremely violent detonating talisman attack detonated in Yunyin's position.
Under the control of Uchiha Tokumitsu, each detonating talisman immediately leaps forward a certain distance after being channeled, and then guides the explosion, thus forming a forward explosion range similar to the 'barrage advancing' effect.
This method of using the detonating talisman combined with the artillery application knowledge in the previous life caused the ninjas behind the Kumogakure formation to also receive a brutal blow.
As the detonating talisman was consumed, the violent bombing offensive gradually stopped. Uchiha Tokumitsu took out the detonating talisman seal scroll presented by the Uzumaki clan leader, held it in his mouth like Troy, and was ready to launch the second round of detonating talisman offensive at any time.
"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"
The injured Shimura ninja tried his best to activate the wind release ninjutsu and quickly blew away the thick smoke. At the same time, screams of being hit by the wind release ninjutsu could be heard in the smoke.
Uchiha Tokumitsu's eyes lit up, he quickly took off the scroll in his mouth, formed a seal with his hands, and released the fire escape ninjutsu——
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
With another round of Huo Dun's attacks, the Yunyin position after the smoke dissipated revealed an extremely tragic scene.
The bombardment of tens of thousands of detonating charms killed and injured more than half of Kumogakure's elite ninja troops who were in a hurry, and those who survived were also seriously injured.
Just when the inspired mobile troops and the Uzumaki tribe took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, one kilometer away, Hatake Sakumo, who was lurking at the Kirigakure headquarters, took action.
In order to support Kirigakure's offensive, the guard forces around Genshi have been deployed to the battlefield many times, and it is inevitable that loopholes will begin to appear in the guards around him.
A white light formed by the Thunder Chakra broke out from twenty meters away from the Yuanshi's main formation and slashed away with the force of thunder.
"careful……"
The Yuanshi guard only had time to shout out. The strong Yuanshi turned the snake staff in his hand and shot out a green light, hitting the flashing Konoha White Fang.
But even this was of no avail. Genshi's attack seemed to have no effect, and he himself was killed by Hatake Sakumo.
Then, without stopping, Hatake Sakumo quickly charged into Kirigakure's queue from behind with Genshi's head in hand, causing a bloody storm among the Kirigakure chuunin.
"Yuanshi!"
The Kirigakure ninja, who was stunned by Hatake Sakumo's swift attack, heard the shrill cries coming from the main formation at the rear. He couldn't help but look back, only to see two guards holding Genshi's headless body looking up to the sky. Crying, there were several Yuanshi guards rushing toward Hatake Sakumo who was slashing like crazy.
"Master Yuanshi..."
The restless Kirigakure ninja naturally guessed the truth based on the scene in front of him.
"died……"
Then he was beheaded by Sakumo Hatake who was passing by, leaving only the last trace of his thoughts and he fell into darkness.
"Wan Sheng!"
Naturally, the morale-boosted mobile troops and the Uzumaki tribesmen also witnessed this classic scene of one man begging for the head.
Summoning the physical and mental energy in the body, regardless of the extremely sore body after desperately squeezing the chakra, he drew out the chakra and used ninjutsu to hit the enemy who was in a state of shock. Even the injured, he used his last bit of strength. Throw kunai shuriken.
For a time, the attacks launched by the mobile troops and the whirlpool tribesmen who were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers pushed the three-nation coalition back steadily.
The originally tightly closed circle began to loosen.
"King Kong Blockade!"
The secret of the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan leader took advantage of the Kirigakure ninja's unpreparedness and captured the three Kirigakure jounin in one fell swoop.
Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was surrounded by flames, jumped up instantly and swung his Odachi sword to behead all three jounin.
Deserters began to appear in the Kirigakure ninja army.
The Kirigakure chuunin who were killed to pieces began to aimlessly try to escape from this terrifying battlefield.
Even if the Kirigakure Jōnin who supervised the battle mercilessly killed the deserters with his sword, he could not stop the chaos of the Kirigakure ninja army.
Genshi, the living fossil of Kirigakure.
As early as when the first Mizukage Byakuren established Kirigakure Village, he was an important assistant. To this day, no one in Kirigakure knows or recognizes this authoritative old man.
But now, on a battlefield that seemed to have a guaranteed victory at the beginning and was in a completely crushing posture, he died.
Or he was decapitated by a single man.
Moreover, Konoha White Fang, who had killed the Genshi, had returned to the battlefield at this time, charging into the crowd wantonly and unstoppable.
In the Kirigakure formation, more and more ninjas lost their fighting spirit.
"Retreat!" Troy, the commander of the Cloud Hidden Ninja Army, gritted his teeth and was the first to issue the retreat order.
The Kirigakure Ninja Army had already suffered more than half of its casualties in Uchiha Tokumitsu's mutual detonating talisman offensive. At this time, even the Kirigakure commander who sent the most troops was killed, and the Kirigakure Ninja Army was about to collapse. If we don’t withdraw now, we’ll wait until later.
As Kumogakure steadily retreated from the battlefield, the Kirigakure ninja army collapsed faster.
Iwagakure, who had built an earthen wall to defend himself, also began to cross cover his retreat and ran towards Kumogakure's retreat direction.
It seems that with the end of the cooperation, the bitter rivals Iwagakure and Kumogakure will inevitably have to fight again.
At this time, the mobile troops and the Uzumaki tribe did not care about the retreating Kumogakure and Iwagakure, and just launched a close combat charge towards Kirigakure.
There was no way, except for the Uzumaki ninja, everyone else's chakra was almost exhausted in the high-intensity battle. Even if they took a lot of pills, there was no time to convert it into chakra.
Kirigakure's collapse is getting faster and faster.
In desperation, a Kirigakure jounin took out a conch horn from his arms and blew the retreat trumpet, regardless of being targeted by the mobile unit.
"Woo~wuwu~~"
The sound of the conch horn, which originally had a rich and long sound, seemed particularly desolate and desolate against the background of Kirigakure's tragic defeat.
The mobile troops ignored the Kirigakure ninja who sounded the retreat call, and just ferociously pursued the Kirigakure ninja who tried to evacuate with his back during the battle.
Now that everyone was close to exhaustion, it would be better to use their swords to chop down the relatively weak genin who had lost their fighting spirit.
After a thrilling round of pursuit, defeat, and wanton killing, Uchiha Tokumitsu was the first to complete the rendezvous with Hatake Sakumo.
"Tokumitsu-kun!"
"Sakumo-kun!"
Regardless of being on the battlefield or Kirigakure who was desperately escaping not far away, the two of them held hands tightly together.
"What a thrilling battle!" Hatake Sakumo, who has experienced hundreds of battles, sighed, "Tokumitsu-kun is indeed a genius of Uchiha!"
"The majestic appearance of Jounin Sakumo taking the head alone also makes me fascinated by it."
Then the two laughed in unison, then brandished their swords and rejoined the most exciting pursuit battle.
…
Wait for the dust to settle.
The mobile combat ninjas who were all injured collapsed on the ground and were bandaged by the surviving medical ninjas.
After this battle, 13 of the twenty-one combat jounin of the newly formed mobile unit survived, of which two Uchiha jounin, two Sarutobi jonin, and one Shimura jonin died of serious injuries. , and three jounin from ordinary ninja clan died in the battle, and the rest were all injured.
The auxiliary ninjas suffered heavy casualties. Among the eighteen auxiliary ninjas, two of the sensing class were killed in the battle, the sealing class was wiped out, the tracking class was wiped out, and one of the medical class was killed. Of the six surviving auxiliary ninjas, only Four sensory ninjas and two medical ninjas.
Judging from the casualty ratio, it can be said that the losses were heavy.
The last surviving members of the Uzumaki tribe were only sixty-two. Compared with the number of the Uzumaki clan in the Kingdom of Uzumaki in its heyday, it can be said that there is only one in twenty, which is even more tragic.
But the results are also extremely brilliant.
Based on the calculation of corpses abandoned on the battlefield, among the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces, the Kirigakure Ninja Army suffered the heaviest casualties. There were 553 corpses on the battlefield here alone. Most of them were hacked after the collapse. It can be seen that pursuit is indeed the easiest to cause. The result of the battle is; including the killing of Kirigakure ninjas on the way to help, nearly a thousand Kirigakure died in the battle of Whirlpool Kingdom.
In addition, there were thirty-nine corpses abandoned by Kumogakure, but some of the dead may have been brought back. Judging from the visual inspection of the battlefield at that time, it was estimated that nearly fifty people died in the battle.
As for the honest and cunning Iwagakure, there was not a single corpse left and basically all had to be evacuated.
The mobile troops and the Uzumaki clan members slumped on the ground and quietly accepted the rescue and bandaging.
Victory?
Victory.
But so what?
Facing their comrades who died in battle, everyone could not muster the mood to celebrate, no matter how brilliant and dazzling their achievements were.
Only endless exhaustion.
The dead are gone, the living are like this.
