Chapter 200 The So-Called Will
I like Itachi very much, so I can write it without the Twelve Little Strong, but not without Itachi.
----------------------------------------
The Kumo ninja divided their forces into three groups and invaded the Country of Fire from three directions. The left route was led by Abby, the middle route was led by Raikage, and the right route was led by Dodai. They were divided into three sharp swords and pierced into the Country of Fire. .
Abby is the son of the Third Raikage and Kirabi, who can perfectly control the Eight-Tails. Both of them are rare first-rate powerhouses. When they formed a team, they already had a level comparable to that of a Kage-level ninja due to their tacit understanding.
Toutai is Raikage's trusted right and left hand. Not only is he good in strength, but he is also calm-headed and considerate, making him a good candidate to lead the team.
The Third Raikage can be called the strongest Raikage in history. He has a physique that is difficult to be damaged even by the incompatible Wind Release, and the strongest penetrating power derived from the use of Thunder Release.
Facing the Kumo ninja's offensive, battle arrangements were formulated based on intelligence. With Konoha's current remaining strength and the number of people who can lead the team, they can be counted on one hand. To be a leader, one must not only have the strength, Its reputation cannot be too low, and Kushina, who happened to come to support, fits this point.
If you want to deal with the momentum of the Kumo ninja's invasion, the best choice is of course to keep retreating until Konoha can send reinforcements and then launch a general attack all at once. However, doing so will make the Kumo ninja unscrupulous. The Fire Nation's rampage will inevitably expand the scope of disasters caused by war. This is the best choice and the worst choice.
Orochimaru will choose the best option, let the civilians be persecuted by the war, and save Konoha's ninjas as a fighting force for the next war. However, others will not choose this way and would rather use their lives to contain them. Yun Ren, hold on until reinforcements arrive, and don't want countless civilians to be affected by the war.
This is the will of the will, even if it costs one's life, the purpose is to uphold one's own will until the last moment and never be shaken or changed.
Although Orochimaru was the leader, public opinion was irreversible. During the period when good news came from Konoha, he divided his remaining troops into three groups, each of which was to contain and slow down the Kumo ninja. And he was the leader of the army. To the strongest and most terrifying Raikage.
In the first wave of contact with the Kumo ninja, he was completely defeated at the hands of the Raikage and suffered serious injuries. If it were not for the existence of the medical ninja, he would have directly lost his fighting power.
In such a shadow, as the leader, he still dared to confront the Raikage. Maybe he was a cold man who had no regard for life, but it could not be denied that as a Konoha ninja, he had fulfilled his responsibilities. .
He can arbitrarily rob people in Konoha for human experiments, but he can also fight with all his strength in the face of the enemy's war. He is really a man who is difficult to understand.
The older generation Ino Shikacho is in charge of the Tutai army on the right, while Kushina is in charge of the Abby combination on the left. Even if they cannot defeat the enemy, they must still hold them back. All Konoha ninjas uphold this principle. With this thought in mind, he went to deal with the invasion of Cloud Ninja.
As the Raikage, it is actually a very stupid act to take the lead in invading the enemy's hinterland and easily create opportunities for the enemy. However, the Raikage has absolute confidence in his own power. He does not think that anyone in Konoha can keep him, so, He led the largest number of subordinates and chose the straight path that would allow them to invade the Fire Country as quickly as possible, that is, the middle route.
He wants to... punch through Konoha! Use his strongest moo!
The Land of Fire is famous for its richness, and the area is mostly characterized by woods. This kind of environment is not liked by Raikage. What he likes is only flat land, which can support his lightning escape speed.
As for the route he chose, if he wanted to reach relatively open flat land to increase his marching speed, he would first have to pass through this dense forest.
The cloud ninja marched in the flying geese formation and jumped in the woods. The leader of the flying geese formation was Raikage, leading the way very arrogantly.
Psychic art!
Orochimaru, who was ambushing here, used the psychic technique without hesitation. With a bang, a raging white smoke filled the forest.
The movement caused by the psychic technique alarmed the Cloud Ninjas and they all stopped moving forward.
Click!
In the white smoke, ten thousand snakes came from another space. From the moment they appeared, they twisted their huge bodies with a clear goal. They opened their big mouths and pounced directly on Raikage.
Zhizhi!
The chakra visible to the naked eye formed a coat from the surface of Raikage's strong body, and transformed into thunder and lightning that were several minutes thicker than when Ye Zi used the Thunder Escape Possession.
"Orochimaru's psychic beast? Disperse!"
Lei Ying looked at Wan She's ferocious snake head and smiled disdainfully. After shouting away, he jumped up when Wan She's huge head rushed towards him, then quickly fell down and punched Wan She's head.
Bang!
The fleshy feeling from the fist was not real, and all the snakes turned into white smoke.
"Huh? Is it fake...!"
Lei Ying raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised.
Uh-huh!
The sound of wind came from behind.
He only had time to turn his head and saw Orochimaru holding a long sword and stabbing his right shoulder. He was blocked by the thunder attribute chakra coat and could not make an inch forward.
"What a...monster."
After the planned attack failed, Orochimaru decisively stopped.
The Raikage waved his arms at an extremely fast speed, and the lightning flashed away. Orochimaru's head flew high into the air, and then turned into mud and scattered from the air.
"The one who retreated decisively seems to have learned the lesson from that time."
The Raikage looked coldly at Orochimaru who had turned into mud, and turned his head to look around. The subordinates he had brought with him had been attacked by the lurking Konoha ninjas, and they were engaged in hand-to-hand combat in the forest.
"Choose to ambush here to limit my lethality? But... do you think I will be restrained by the environment?"
The lightning flashes suddenly, and there is no fear of the body being injured by lightning. The monster-like body is the best condition for using the lightning escape possession.
The Raikage turned into a bolt of lightning, causing trees to fall wherever it went, unable to even slow down the Raikage's speed.
With such speed and destructive power, Raikage rushed into the enemy formation of Konoha, arriving in the blink of an eye, tearing the Konoha ninjas along the way in half with pure power.
Looking at this scene, Orochimaru's expression became ugly.
"Go and stop him!" he said to Wan She.
"Don't expect me to stop this monster." Wan She shook his head directly and rejected Orochimaru's request.
Orochimaru's expression turned cold and he said coldly: "Then you go kill the Kumo ninja. The more the better."
"Humph." Wan She spat out the snake letter and said, "It's not bad, but... I can't guarantee whether it will cause accidental injury."
As it spoke, its huge body snaked up from the low trees and pounced towards the battle.
Listening to Wan She's words, Orochimaru gritted his teeth slightly, glanced at Raikage with his cold eyes, and leaned towards him.
The key to hindering the pace...is still blocking the leader.
----------------------------------
At the same time, Konoha led by the older generation Ino Shikacho ushered in the Kumo ninja led by Dodai in an area where many traps were set up, and Konoha led by Kushina also faced Abby head-on. Kumo ninja led by the combination.
Regardless of which route they took, Konoha's military strength was ten times lower than that of Kumo Ninja. From the very beginning, this was a blocking battle with obvious advantages and disadvantages.
Mushroom forest, this is the area where Kushina and Abby come into contact. The distance between trees in this area is relatively wide, but each tree is huge. On the trunks, there are several yellow-red spots growing. Big mushroom, this is the origin of mushroom forest.
Because the forest is not densely distributed, there are few plants on the ground, and the hiding ability is relatively low, so it is not suitable to set up traps and can only be faced head-on.
The troops were ten times weaker, and a head-on attack was the worst option, but in order to stop the Kumo ninja, Konoha had to do this.
Kushina, a red-haired girl with obvious features, was recognized by the Abby team when the two sides stopped confronting each other.
"Yo yo! Brother, it's the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, yeah! Ah!" Kirabi made a weird gesture, looked directly at Kushina, and shouted excitedly.
Ai glanced at the number of Konoha ninjas, then stared at Kushina, and sneered: "It really took no effort. The plan to capture you failed last time. I didn't expect you to come directly to the door. The battle plan has changed! Seize it!" …Kyuubi Jinchuuriki!"
Without any intention of hiding anything, he just told the Konoha ninjas present.
Kushina's expression changed slightly. She couldn't help but think of the night when she was almost kidnapped. It was also that night when someone came to live in her heart. Gradually, a sharp look appeared on her face. She raised her head. At the beginning, a diamond-shaped mark on the forehead was particularly obvious.
"I won't...let you go any further from here!"
Eyes full of determination and powerful words were presented to the ninjas present, whether they were Konoha ninjas or Kumo ninjas.
As a member of Konoha, this is her will!
