Chapter 564: Reinforcements Arrive, the Battle Situation Turns Around
The Land of Grass, South.
Due to its border with the Land of Fire and its beautiful environment, the southern part of the Land of Grass is considered a relatively developed area in the entire Land of Grass.
Of course, it was limited to before the war.
After the war, the southern part of the Land of Grass was the area most affected by the war.
Residents fled, caravans dared not travel, and the destruction of ninja battles, all kinds of factors made the south lose its peacetime prosperity.
"I really can't accept it. These big countries went to war on our land, causing our economy to decline, and we have to help."
The patrolling grass ninja looked at the empty village and couldn't help but tell the resentment in his heart.
Their Grass Village is not as well-known as the five major ninja villages. There are not many foreigners who will come to the Grass Village to issue commissions. They mainly rely on the support of their own people.
However, the war between Iwagakure and Konoha in the Land of Grass has a very bad impact on the Land of Grass. The economy of the Land of Grass has declined, and the money that the Grass Village can obtain has also decreased.
The leading Grass Ninja hurriedly looked around and found no Konoha ninjas, so he was relieved.
They are a team from Kusagakure Village supporting the Konoha Ninja Force. Before returning to Kusagakure Village, they all have to obey the command of Konoha Ninja.
"Who made our top leaders incompetent? The damn Yokogawa Tsutomu cooperated with Iwagakure for his own selfishness, causing the village to be hostile to Konoha." The leading Kusagakure Ninja rudely scolded the dead Kusagakure leader.
If it weren't for Yokogawa Tsutomu's trouble, they Kusagakure Ninja would have lived a better life if they had stayed quiet.
In order to make up for Yokogawa Tsutomu's miss, Kusagakure Village was forced to become an ally with Konoha and help Konoha fight Iwagakure.
"There's nothing we can do now, and it's better to follow Konoha than Iwagakure. Konoha is stronger, and Lieyang Muyue has helped the village solve problems before." A Kusagakure Ninja said helplessly.
If we start from the perspective of comparing the worst, Iwagakure is still a little worse.
"Rest here, it will be dangerous if we really meet Iwagakure Ninja." The leading Kusagakure Ninja jumped to a high place and observed the surroundings and said.
In name, they came to help Konoha, but he didn't want to really help Konoha, just pretending.
After all, if they died at the hands of Iwagakure, Konoha would definitely not give their families a pension.
The other Kusagakure ninjas sat down immediately after hearing this, without any hesitation.
Fighting for their own village is fine, but if they are still active in fighting for Konoha, that's a bit problematic.
Puff!
The leading Kusagakure ninja was about to say something, and the next moment, a piercing pain came, and the black kunai pierced through his chest and pierced into his body.
The leading Kusagakure ninja's eyes widened, with an unbelievable look on his face, "How could it be, obviously..."
Before the leading Kusagakure ninja finished his last words, he fell down, and the body on the ground was still staring, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Captain! Damn Iwagakure, when did you come here."
The Kusagakure ninjas were trained ninjas after all, and they soon noticed the movement of the "Iwagakure ninjas" killing people.
Their expressions were as puzzled as the leading Kusagakure ninja. They had already investigated how these Iwagakure ninjas got here.
The unprepared Kusagakure ninja team was quickly wiped out.
Whoosh!
A blond figure kept flashing in the forest, moving forward at an extremely fast speed.
Sensing the dissipating auras, Namikaze Minato frowned slightly and used the instant body technique to speed up again.
But when he arrived, there were only Kusagakure ninja corpses on the ground, and no trace of other ninjas.
"It's like this again. What kind of ninjutsu is it that even I can't sense it." Namikaze Minato's face was not very good.
Clearly, just half a minute ago, he could still sense the chakra of those killers, but when he was about to arrive, the chakra aura disappeared.
Although Namikaze Minato was not a full-time perception ninja, his excellent perception ability was enough to beat many perception ninjas in the perception class.
In other words, most of Konoha's perception ninjas could not find the Iwagakure assassination team that was hidden by ninjutsu.
"I wonder if the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan can be cracked." Minato Namikaze fell into thought.
The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is different from ordinary perception ninjutsu. The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan uses the eyes to see. In theory, the ninjutsu that eliminates the breath is useless against the Byakugan.
Minato Namikaze tried to search carefully within a ten-kilometer radius nearby, but still failed to find the Iwagakure ninja who had just killed the Kusagakure ninja.
After searching in vain, Minato Namikaze finally used Flying Thunder God to return to the camp and report the information he found to Jiraiya.
"It turned out that he was able to escape from your hands, Minato. It seems that Iwagakure is serious." Jiraiya touched his chin and said.
If Jiraiya had only guessed that Iwagakure might fight Konoha in the Land of Grass in the near future, then now Jiraiya is almost certain that Iwagakure will launch an attack on Konoha.
"It's not a big problem. Among the ninjas who came to support this time, there are three ninjas from the Hyuga clan, and two of them are jonin." Jiraiya told Minato Namikaze the information about the reinforcements he requested.
Considering the current situation on the battlefield, Jiraiya not only called in the perception team, but also called in some Anbu to conduct intelligence work.
Intelligence is a very critical point in the battle of the ninja army.
For a ninja like Minato Namikaze, even if the opponent is a team of hundreds of people, as long as he knows the exact location, Minato Namikaze can kill them all by himself.
At night, Minato Namikaze thought about it, picked up a pen and paper to write a letter to Kushina and Mu Yue.
In the letter sent to Kushina, most of the content of Minato Namikaze was about reporting safety and talking about family matters, without mentioning the war.
Kushina is working hard to become a qualified Jinchūriki, and Minato Namikaze doesn't want Kushina to worry too much.
Minato Namikaze didn't have so many concerns about the letter to Mu Yue.
It's not that he thinks Mu Yue's worries don't matter, but Minato Namikaze thinks that if he gets into trouble in the war, he can ask Mu Yue to help take care of Kushina.
Even though he is a famous young master in the ninja world today, Minato Namikaze doesn't dare to say that he will definitely survive the war.
Many shadows died at the hands of the ninja army, and Minato Namikaze doesn't think that he has surpassed the second generation Hokage now.
On the other side, the Land of Grass, the west.
Looking at the ninja army coming with a serious face, a smile appeared on Lishi's face.
"Lord Lishi, the support troops have arrived, with a total of 800 ninjas, including seven jonins and twelve special jonins..." Huoguang walked to Lishi and reported seriously.
Lishi smiled and nodded.
"Eight hundred support troops, plus my troops also have 1,200 ninjas, that's 2,000 ninja troops, Jiraiya, what can you use to fight me!" Lishi was very excited.
If Jiraiya's ninja troops did not change much, it should be around 1,000.
Two thousand against 1,000, the advantage is on him, Lishi can't think of how to lose.
In addition to the order from the top, Lishi is already thinking about what to do after entering the land of the Land of Fire.
Lishi quickly held a meeting to discuss the matter of defeating the Konoha ninja troops.
Even if they have a lot of people, they can't just rush up and fight without any rules, they have to proceed with a plan.
It may be that the Iwagakure ninjas have been suppressed for too long, resulting in a strong release of power at once, or it may be that Lishi's leadership is good, or it may be other reasons.
In short, the situation on the battlefield of the Land of Grass suddenly reversed in two levels.
The Konoha assassination team was quickly resolved, and the Iwagakure intelligence troops won repeatedly and obtained important intelligence about the Konoha troops.
…………
Early morning, the Land of Fire.
Konoha, the southern forest.
"Except Kakashi and Kai, everyone else, gather." Mu Yue called the disciples.
"We won't practice separately this morning. I'm going to teach you a new secret technique." Mu Yue explained.
As for why Might Guy and Kakashi were not called, it was because Might Guy was still thinking about the change of Yin-attribute chakra nature and learning Armament Haki.
Compared with Observation Haki, Armament Haki is definitely more useful to Might Guy.
Kakashi has a transparent world, which partially overlaps with the ability of Observation Haki. In addition, the chakra is too tight, so it is not suitable to learn now.
After hearing Mu Yue's words, Shisui, Obito and other disciples quickly gathered in front of Mu Yue.
"It is a change of Yin-attribute chakra nature. In terms of type, it can be regarded as a perception ninjutsu. However, compared with ordinary perception ninjutsu, it has a good effect in combat and has a similar effect to the transparent world." Mu Yue introduced.
"There are so many new ninjutsu recently." Obito was very happy.
Mu Yue taught a super fire escape blue flame, and the Ninja Sect sent another flame vortex. Now Mu Yue is going to teach a new secret technique.
"It's almost like being able to sense the attack and predict the action. Shisui, open your Sharingan and try to attack me with all your strength." Mu Yue prepared to demonstrate the battle.
Shisui, who was called, nodded and concentrated his chakra on his eyes. The scarlet blood soon spread over his eyes, and the three-magatama Sharingan appeared.
"Teacher Mu Yue, I'm going to attack." After reminding him, Shisui burst out his chakra and rushed to Mu Yue.
Facing the attacking Shisui, Mu Yue did something that was unexpected to others. He closed his eyes.
"Secret Technique: Observation Haki!"
With the chakra in his body stimulated, Mu Yue's perception became extremely sharp.
"Konoha Whirlwind!"
Although he was a little surprised that Mu Yue closed his eyes, Shisui did not stop and kicked out a whirlwind kick at high speed.
Mu Yue, who closed his eyes, seemed to have an invisible eye. He just turned sideways and accurately avoided Shisui's whirlwind kick. Shisui's sole passed two centimeters in front of the corner of Mu Yue's clothes, and the airflow raised by the kick hit the corner of Mu Yue's clothes and blew the corner of his clothes.
Shisui's face was normal, and he quickly punched towards Mu Yue's abdomen.
Mu Yue took a small step back quickly, and Shisui's punch missed.
"Observation Haki allows you to detect attacks that are invisible to your vision." Mu Yue introduced.
This is a very useful ability. With Observation Haki, even in a chaotic battle with a large number of people, you can protect yourself to the greatest extent.
Then Mu Yue opened his eyes and signaled Shisui to continue attacking.
"Next you will throw a left fist, and the next move is a whirlwind kick..." Mu Yue dodged while talking about Shisui's next attack.
And Shisui seemed like Mu Yue's puppet, and he did whatever Mu Yue said.
Of course, everyone present knew that it was not that Shisui intended to act according to Mu Yue's words, but that Mu Yue predicted all of Shisui's attacks.
Because even if Shisui wanted to follow Mu Yue's words and act, Shisui couldn't react. Shisui's fist was swung out almost the moment Mu Yue finished speaking, and his brain had no time to react.
"Awesome, it feels better than the Sharingan." Obito scratched his head and couldn't help saying.
He doesn't usually use illusions, and the purpose of the Sharingan is basically to enhance dynamic vision and insight.
And the observation Haki can not only see through movements like the Sharingan, but also detect attacks outside the line of sight, and even has the function of sensing ninjutsu.
This made Obito suddenly feel that the Sharingan didn't seem to be very strong.
It was Obito's dream to open the Sharingan long ago when he hadn't opened it yet.
Because at that time, Obito knew that the Sharingan would be invincible once it was opened, and it was the support of the Uchiha, the strongest family in Konoha.
But the reality of the Sharingan is that even if Obito reaches the highest three magatama, he can't get any good reputation among the disciples.
Compared with the Sharingan, which has a huge reputation, Obito thinks that the bloodline limit of the Uzumaki clan is better and stronger.
He has met three members of the Uzumaki clan, namely Uzumaki Kushina, Uzumaki Naruto, and Uzumaki Karin.
Even Uzumaki Karin, who has not practiced ninja, has an extraordinary chakra.
Not to mention Kushina and Naruto, Obito has actually felt their bottomless chakra in battle.
"No wonder Uchiha Madara is not the opponent of Senju Hashirama, maybe the Sharingan is not as good as the bloodline of Senju." Obito understood something in his heart.
Although there are many Uchiha clans who boast about the combat power of Uchiha Madara, it is well known that Uchiha Madara cannot beat Senju Hashirama.
"You all try to learn it. If you can't learn it, then just give up. This ninjutsu requires a talent for perception." Mu Yue reminded.
In the current ninja world, all ninja villages, whether large or small, attach great importance to perceptual ninjas.
Ninja troops with perceptual ninjas are different from troops without perceptual ninjas.
And the training of perceptual ninjas is not just about having perceptual ninjutsu. The most important thing is to have a ninja with perceptual talent.
The threshold for perceptual ninjutsu is very high. If you don't have the ability to perceive, you can't learn it no matter how you learn.
So the other four major ninja villages are very jealous of Konoha's Hyuga clan. There is no need to practice. A baby born is a natural perceptual ninja, and it is also the best among perceptual ninjas. It's really delicious.
All the disciples nodded.
After the demonstration and explanation, Mu Yue began to teach formally.
After Mu Yue taught for a while, the memory of a shadow clone suddenly flowed back into his mind.
It was his shadow clone at home that was visited by the Anbu.
"Practice freely first, I'll go to the Hokage Building." Mu Yue said to his disciples.
After that, Mu Yue rushed to the Hokage Building. Combined with the letter sent by Minato before, Mu Yue guessed that something happened on the battlefield.
PS: Sorry, I have something to do today, only 4k, I will make up for it if I have time later.
