Chapter 207 The Remaining Warmth
The unbridled invasion of Kumo ninja caused the complete collapse of Konoha's defense line.
When only one person is left in the defense line built by the troops, the obvious gap in combat power between the two sides can be seen.
Feeling the threat from the Kumo Ninja, Konoha dispatched reinforcements from the other two lines of defense and returned home to face the Kumo Ninja's troops. This would be the last remnant of the Third Ninja War.
The Raikage believed that the opportunity was rare and did not want to miss it. After eliminating Konoha's blocking force, he decisively went deep into the enemy's territory. As long as Konoha's defensive forces were wiped out, he could gather his troops at the meeting point and launch an attack on Konoha. General attack.
The representative of a country's military power is the Ninja Village. Once the Ninja Village is destroyed, the country will be like losing its minions and will no longer be a threat.
Under Ye Zi's gaze, Lei Ying destroyed a city on his way to the meeting point in order to replenish dry food.
Just like the power of blowing ashes, easily and casually, a city can be annihilated in a fire, causing countless casualties to ordinary civilians. This is the power of the ninja.
After arriving at the meeting point, the distance from Konoha Village was not very far. At the ninja's marching speed, it only took an hour to reach it. After a while, the troops led by Dodai also arrived at the meeting point.
The shadow clone created by Ye Zi came to the main body.
After unlocking the technique, Ye Zi accepted the memory of the shadow clone, and Konoha's third blocking force was declared completely wiped out, with no one surviving.
"Ai, they are so slow." Raikage glanced at the number of cloud ninjas and nodded slightly, but the cloud ninjas led by Abby's team had not yet arrived, so he frowned.
Tutai asked his subordinates to take a rest for a while, and then said: "Maybe they encountered some trouble."
Raikage crossed his arms, looked coldly in the direction of Konoha Ninja Village, and said calmly: "The communication method is too weak. We need to think about how to improve it afterwards."
"Yes." Tutai nodded.
In multi-point operations, communication methods have always been the key to victory, but this has always been a difficult area to improve. Moreover, we should also focus on establishing a medical ninja system. This system plays a unique role in war.
At this point, the cloud ninjas dispersed quietly in the forest, taking advantage of the limited time to recover their physical strength, waiting for the next general attack.
Ye Zi, who was hiding in the dark, silently watched the tail of Yun Nin's troops, not daring to get too close for fear of being discovered by Yun Nin.
The transmission of information is the most basic ability of a ninja village.
Although the blocking line was completely wiped out, the information was quickly conveyed to the village.
Konoha office building, Hokage's office.
The crisis we are facing is right in front of us, and the senior officials are all in the office.
"Total annihilation..." Sarutobi looked at the map with a solemn expression. Even Orochimaru could not block the Raikage's sharp edge. This cannot be blamed on Orochimaru. The Raikage is indeed very powerful. Even if he is allowed to go on his own, in his current state , it will only be a defeat.
Once the situation is serious, he can't just sit in the rear. When necessary, he still has to go into battle.
"The whereabouts of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki are unknown now. She should not have been sent to the front line in the first place. Once the Jinchuuriki is captured by Kumo Ninja, the situation will be very serious." Danzo looked at Sarutobi, his tone cold and thorny.
Sarutobi glanced at Danzo, then focused on the map, and said, "I will take responsibility afterwards. The most important thing now is to stop the Kumo ninja."
Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly, covered up the cold glare, and said calmly: "Minato and Tsunade's troops are already on the way. If nothing unexpected happens, they can intercept the Kumo ninja."
"That's right, Jiraiya's side has a clear advantage, and they can also allocate part of their troops to fight against the Kumo ninja." Mito Kadoyan's eyes also fell on the map. The changes in intelligence made him more concerned about how to use Kumo ninja. Shinobi's troops remain within the borders of the country. If this battle is won, Kumo Shinobi will have no successors. It is foreseeable that this war will also come to an end.
"The only threat now is the Kumo ninja. This battle must be won, and all available troops must be dispatched," Koharu said calmly.
Sarutobi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Let Jiraiya allocate part of his troops to join Tsunade. This may be the last battle."
After the decision was made, the news was passed on. After receiving the news, Jiraiya immediately handed over the authority of the battle line to Uchiha Tomigaoka, and then led a part of the troops to the battlefield.
Orochimaru, who was rescued by Ye Zi, dragged his injured body and rushed further towards Konoha.
On the other hand, Kushina used containment as her main purpose to delay the Abby team.
With the intention of capturing them alive, the Abby team was restrained. Coupled with Kushina's terrible recovery ability and the seemingly limitless chakra, the Abby team never found a chance.
In order to deal with the threat from the secret, Ai asked his subordinates to use the battlefield as the starting point and surrounded the surroundings. Originally, the role of his subordinates in this level of battle was very low. On the one hand, it was to prevent Kushina from escaping, and on the other hand, it was also Beware of Konoha's reinforcements.
It was precisely because of the need to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki that the fighter plane was delayed.
When Kushina was sent to the front line, Sarutobi respected Kushina's wishes, but he didn't expect it to have such an effect.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of the shadow clone, Nine-Tails would have been captured long ago.
The broken limbs can be recovered immediately. If he attacks the vital points, he is worried about killing the jinchuriki. Due to various concerns, he has been unable to take down Kushina.
Seeing that the delay was getting longer and longer, Ai's brows became tighter and tighter.
"Bi, we can't delay it any longer."
"Brother, this woman is too difficult to deal with." Kirabi was also very helpless. The eight-tailed tail was broken and it would take some time to grow it back. But the woman in front of him was good, her broken limbs could be restored in a few breaths.
The most critical problem is that the other party deliberately delays, but seems more difficult to deal with.
After understanding the opponent's purpose, Kushina gradually became familiar with Abby's offensive and began to feel less uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the fact that she knew less ninjutsu, with Kushina's Yin Seal Release and Kyuubi's chakra, it would not be impossible to beat Abby's combination. What's more embarrassing is that she learned it from Tsunade. The strange strength has no effect at all against the extremely fast Abby combination.
The place where the two sides fought has been razed to the ground. Deep pits and shallow pits are scattered all over the area, and there is no greenery at all.
In the midst of the entanglement, reinforcements led by Minato arrived.
The Kumo ninjas guarding one of the points were instantly killed by the Konoha reinforcements who arrived. After that, the Kumo ninjas realized the arrival of the Konoha reinforcements.
"It's yellow flash!"
Recognizing Minato's signature ninjutsu, the Kumo ninjas were shocked.
Ai Huoran clenched his fists and glanced at Kushina with cold eyes, feeling that he had to express his anger.
The purpose of capturing the Nine-Tails had failed from the moment Konoha's reinforcements arrived.
"Finally here." Seeing the commotion of the cloud ninja, Kushina breathed a sigh of relief. She had been waiting for this moment.
Leading nearly a hundred Jonin, Minato rushed over from the Land of Earth. After seeing Kushina safe and sound, his heart dropped quietly. Nearly half of the troops he led were elites from the Aburame and Inuzuka clans. They were the cutting-edge forces that survived the war.
"The mission is to intercept the Kumo ninja, but if we can defeat them here, it would be the best." Minato held the kunai and said to the surrounding Konoha ninjas.
The Konoha Jonin present all knew that this would probably be the last battle. As long as they won, Konoha would have won the war, and then the war would cease.
So, the fighting spirit is fierce!
Without too many words intertwined, the two sides started fighting from the moment they met.
On the other hand, Raikage did not wait for Abby's team, but instead waited for the troops led by Tsunade and White Fang.
