Chapter 558: Changes on the Battlefield

Western part of the Land of Grass.

In a forest near the Land of Earth, four Iwagakure ninjas were carefully patrolling the surroundings.

Although the Iwagakure ninja troops were not damaged in the battle with the Konoha ninja troops, the order given to them by the Iwagakure high-level officials was to shrink the troops and try to attract the Konoha ninjas to the Land of Earth.

So now the Iwagakure ninja troops have basically withdrawn to the west bordering the Land of Earth, with the preservation of strength as the main strategic action.

"I really don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. Our Iwagakure is strong and powerful, why do we have to retreat again and again when facing Konoha." A Iwagakure Chunin saw that the surroundings were calm and spit out a sentence.

He was very dissatisfied with the current war decision of the Iwagakure Village. Since the war began, Iwagakure has basically only used one-tenth of its strength to fight the war, and has always hidden its true strength.

In his opinion, let alone sending out 10,000 troops, it would be enough to take Konoha in the chaos by directly sending out 5,000 ninja troops when Konoha was invaded by the Mist.

But the high-level officials have been indifferent, allowing the Cloud and Konoha to oppress.

"Maybe they want to lure the enemy into the Land of Earth, and then use the advantages of the Land of Earth to destroy the enemy more easily." A fatter Iwagakure next to him said.

"Too cautious. Now that the countries are fighting each other, it should be the best time for our Iwagakure to become the strongest ninja village."

Obviously, he also has some complaints about Iwagakure's war decision now.

After all, it is really aggrieved that they have the strength to counterattack or even defeat the opponent, but they keep giving in.

"Say less, the top leaders have their own considerations, and we just need to follow the orders well." Sumashi persuaded.

Unlike the two Iwagakure who complained about the top leaders, Sumashi also felt aggrieved, but he believed in the top leaders.

A very simple truth, if Iwagakure Village makes a profit, the top leaders of Iwagakure Village can get far more than ordinary Iwagakure ninjas.

Then the top leaders of Iwagakure must want to win more urgently than them.

After Sumashi spoke, the atmosphere in the team suddenly became quiet. Although they are all old friends with a good relationship, Sumashi is different from the other three. He is a special jonin and the captain of the team.

Normally, it's okay for everyone to joke with each other, but when performing tasks on the battlefield, there must be a distinction between superiors and subordinates.

Swish! !

Suddenly, a sound of kunai breaking through the air was heard, and kunai suddenly shot towards them from all directions.

The Iwagakure people then realized that several Konoha ninjas had appeared around them at some point.

Sumashi was extremely surprised. He had just patrolled very carefully, so there should be no one around. Could it be that they had used some advanced hiding ninjutsu to hide nearby from the beginning?

Without time to think too much, Sumashi quickly used chakra to strengthen his body to dodge.

The attack came too suddenly, and he had no time to use ninjutsu to resist it.

Puff!

Although the three Iwagakure Chunins also tried their best to dodge, there were too many kunai and too fast, and soon they were pierced with kunai everywhere, and they fell to the ground.

"We can only retreat." The pain from the wound made Sumashi frown slightly, and he quickly formed a seal to condense chakra.

He did not completely dodge the sneak attack of the Konoha ninja just now, and was injured.

Therefore, Sumashi had no intention of fighting to the death with the Konoha ninjas to avenge his teammates.

The enemies not only outnumbered them, but were also in full strength. Staying would mean death.

"Earth Style: Earth Splitting Palm!"

Sumashi concentrated his chakra on his palm and slammed the ground.

Boom! !

Under the effect of the earth attribute chakra, the ground cracked rapidly, and pieces of mud and rocks flew towards the Konoha ninjas.

At the same time, the cracked ground also raised a cloud of dust that blocked the line of sight.

Whoosh!

Sumashi took advantage of the Konoha ninjas' dodge to perform the instant body technique to distance himself, and fled without looking back.

He wanted to bring back the information about the Konoha ninjas.

But Sumashi, who had been running away, didn't notice that the "Konoha ninjas" who had ambushed them only chased them for a short while and then stood still and watched him go away.

When Sumashi's figure completely disappeared, the "Konoha ninjas" merged into the ground and disappeared into the forest.

This scene not only happened in the west of the Grass Country, but also in the south of the Grass Country where the Konoha Ninja was stationed.

However, in the south of the Grass Country, it became the Iwagakure Ninja ambushing the Konoha Ninja.

The frequent ambush incidents caused headaches for the leaders of the ninja forces on both sides, and they believed that the other side had the idea of ​​starting a war again.

"These Konoha Ninjas are too cunning. They dare not enter the Land of Earth and only dare to assassinate near the border!" Li Shi slapped the desk in the tent with an unhappy face.

He is the captain of the Iwagakure blasting unit and one of the best in the entire Iwagakure. Now he can only watch the news that is unfavorable to Iwagakure coming one by one, and he is very angry.

But Li Shi really has no good way, because the decision of the Iwagakure high-level is to defend, to play the pig and eat the tiger, and to lure the enemy deep.

"Ask the high-level, this is not a solution. Many people in the army have a lot of resentment." Iwakura suggested.

Li Shi nodded. He had this idea a long time ago.

Either they could retreat directly to the Land of Earth and hide there, which would not be a big deal except for losing face in the Ninja World.

Or they could directly fight the Konoha Ninja Army and fight hard. If they win, they will become famous, and if they lose, they can just continue to play dumb.

Lishi felt that both of these options were better than staying at the border in a mediocre state.

"Don't send out the ninjas from the blasting team recently." Lishi reminded them as he remembered something.

Since he was still in charge of the battlefield, Lishi basically handed over the authority of the demolition team to the deputy captain of the demolition team, Iwaku.

The death of a ninja from the same village was certainly heartbreaking, but if the casualties were the elites of his demolition team, Lishi would be even more uncomfortable.

The ninjas of the demolition team were the real elites of Iwagakure, and each member had spent a lot of resources to train.

Iwaku nodded.

On the other side, Jiraiya had just returned to the battlefield from the Rain Country not long ago, and he didn't expect that something so troublesome would happen.

"If I didn't look at my forehead, I would have thought we were fighting with the Kirigakure Village. How come the assassination of Iwagakure has become so powerful." Jiraiya looked at the recent battlefield intelligence and was a little puzzled.

It was reasonable for Iwagakure to counterattack, and harassment in the form of a team was also a normal battlefield strategy, but the actual level of performance was very unfamiliar to Jiraiya.

It was not the first day for him to fight with Iwagakure on the battlefield of the Grass Country. Didn't he know what assassination tactics and level Iwagakure was good at?

Compared with team assassination, Iwagakure was better at legion combat.

Even for a ninja of Jiraiya's level, being besieged by the Iwagakure ninja troops is very dangerous.

During the Second Ninja World War, Jiraiya almost died at the hands of the Iwagakure troops, and was impressed by the combat capabilities of the Iwagakure troops.

"Is it possible that the reinforcements of Iwagakure have arrived?" Namikaze Minato thought about it and said his speculation.

"Perhaps Iwagakure has specially trained a ninja unit that is good at using earth escape for assassination during the truce."

Jiraiya showed a thoughtful look.

What Namikaze Minato said is not unreasonable. Earth escape has its own unique advantages for ambush and assassination, after all, earth escape can escape underground.

"In this case, we have to consider the possibility of a large-scale attack by the Iwagakure troops next." Jiraiya put down the information and said.

The reinforcements of Iwagakure have appeared, so the attitude of Iwagakure Village is very clear. It is Iwagakure that wants to fight Konoha to the end.

According to conventional thinking, after the harassment, it is a large-scale attack on the exhausted enemy.

"Next, I will join the patrol team to clean up the attack on Iwagakure." Namikaze Minato took the initiative to say.

With the Flying Thunder God Technique, he has strong mobility, and Minato Namikaze also has strong perception ability. Even if he fails to arrive in time to save the Konoha ninja, he is likely to avenge him. He is the most suitable candidate to solve the harassment crisis.

"I'll leave it to you, Minato." Jiraiya believes that Minato can solve the problem.

Then Jiraiya hurriedly contacted the Konoha high-level, reported the latest intelligence and applied for the perception team to go to the battlefield.

Next, there may be a big war on the battlefield of the Grass Country, and he must be fully prepared.

…………

Early in the morning, Konoha Village.

Shisui got up and solved his and Zoroark's breakfast first.

Because his body became bigger after evolution, Shisui was worried that Zoroark would not be full, so he increased the amount of breakfast for Zoroark a lot.

After breakfast, one person and one fox went to Obito's house as usual, ready to ask Obito to go to the South Forest to practice together.

Before arriving at Obito's house, Zoroark deliberately used illusion to maintain Zoroark's appearance.

Neither Obito nor Charizard found anything unusual.

"Hey, old Charizard, why don't you take me over? I'm too lazy to move after eating." Zoroark asked with a smile.

"Your wings are cool and handsome, it must be very exciting to fly."

Hearing Zoroark praising it for being handsome, Charizard subconsciously straightened his chest and raised his head, and swallowed back the words he was about to refuse.

Those who praise it for being handsome are good people with vision, destined to live a meaningful life.

"Awoo!"

Charizard stood in front of Zoroark, flapped its wings and flew up, and then pointed at its back with a heroic face, signaling Zoroark to jump on it.

Zoroark jumped lightly and jumped onto its back.

The moment Zoroark jumped behind Charizard, Charizard's expression changed slightly, and even the flapping wings stopped in an instant, almost falling off.

Feeling the heaviness behind him, Charizard's face was full of question marks, how could such a small Zoroark be so heavy.

"Awoo."

Charizard took off with force, indicating that Zoroark should lose weight.

It had carried Zoroark before, but it felt very light at that time, which was completely different from now.

Charizard felt that Zoroark had gained at least seven or eight times more weight.

However, Charizard was quite curious about how Zoroark kept his figure. He didn't look round even after gaining so much weight.

"Damn it, you are my summoned beast!" Watching Charizard flying away with Zoroark, Obito envied him.

He had long wanted to ride on Charizard and fly in the sky.

However, Charizard had always refused to yield, saying that it was not the kind of dragon that could be ridden, so Obito had to give up temporarily.

After all, it was too dangerous to force Charizard to fly. Obito suspected that Charizard might deliberately fly high and then drop him down.

Although he might catch him halfway to prevent him from falling to death, the process would definitely be uncomfortable.

"Shisui, you just pamper Zoroark too much. You should use illusion to hypnotize him and do more training." After arriving at the Southern Forest, Obito deliberately taught Shisui his training experience in front of Zoroark.

Obito knew that Shisui would not do this. He just wanted to piss off Zoroark, because this red-haired fox always made trouble for him and even rode Charizard, which he was not allowed to ride.

"No." Shisui declined politely, looking at Obito with some reluctance.

Zoroark was not a generous fox. Obito would definitely be teased by Zoroark if he said this.

"Damn it, you, Obito, who is born evil, actually led the kind-hearted Shisui astray. Do you want to be beaten?" Zoroark couldn't sit still.

What if Obito passed on his inhumanity to Shisui?

"Just you?" Obito looked indifferent.

As long as he got serious, Zoroark's illusion had almost no effect on him.

And Zoroark had no other ability except illusion.

"Can't ask Charizard to join us." Obito added.

If Zoroark invited him, his Reverse Dragon might be excited to fight him together.

"It's not that troublesome to deal with you." Zoroark said that he was enough with one fox.

Zoroark's attitude made Obito suspicious.

Didn't he know what Zoroark's strength was? How could he be confident to fight him?

"Is it a breakthrough in strength?" Obito thought.

Cautious Obito opened the three-magatama Sharingan.

If he failed against Zoroark, it would be a shame, after all, this was an unevolved Pokémon.

Kakashi, who had just arrived, showed a thoughtful expression when he heard the conversation between the man and the fox.

Although Zoroark can be a little silly sometimes, he is generally smart and will not take the initiative to fight.

"Obito is going to be unlucky." Kakashi was sure in his heart.

Thinking of this, Kakashi took out his camera with a calm face to see if he could take some new good photos to threaten Obito.

But what Kakashi regretted was that Zoroark was too strong when he was ahead of the intelligence. He used illusion interference and high-speed movement to attack. He pressed Obito to the ground in less than a minute and failed to create an interesting scene.

"Ah? No, how..." Obito looked confused.

Although he underestimated the enemy, Zoroark's strength was a bit too abnormal.

He has this strength without evolution, and he must be very powerful after evolution.

Obito wanted to report to Mu Yue that there was a Pokémon cheating here!

"Don't tease Obito." Shisui showed a helpless smile and asked Zoroark to stop.

"Who told him to lead you astray?"

Zoroark canceled the illusion and showed his evolved appearance.

Obito: ...

People who play illusions are all filthy, except Shisui.

"Sure enough." Kakashi was not surprised.

Zoroark dared to fight Obito directly, he must have evolved.

In addition, Zoroark is good at illusions, Kakashi knew that Zoroark used illusions to disguise himself.
