Chapter 204: Fog Hidden Surprise Attack
Fire Country, East Coast. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This is the easternmost part of the Land of Fire, and on the other side of the sea is the Land of Water. Due to the long coastline of the Fire Country, Konoha deliberately built a fort on the shore of this gentle terrain, windless waves, and no reefs, as an outpost on the border, to warn of possible enemy attacks from the sea, and to defend against large-scale enemy landings.
The fort was very strong and was built on high ground on the shore. Two smooth and steep walls divide the fort into inner and outer forts, and there are watchtowers at the top. The fort is well armed and well-armed with two hundred Konoha ninjas, and the high walls on the perimeter are equipped with a row of heavy ballistas that can shoot huge arrows with a large number of detonating charms.
In the event of a change, ninjas can fight with their strong fortifications and use heavy weapons to prevent enemy ships from landing. Using this fortress as a defensive fulcrum, Konoha's troops could quickly build a strong coastal defense. Then use several towns on the eastern coast of the Fire Nation as rear support, forming a second line of defense with strategic depth.
This is the eastern defense line of the Fire Nation. This line of defense is enough to withstand several times the onslaught of the enemy, delaying the enemy's attack. Moreover, the ninjas in the fortress can use carrier pigeons to deliver messages at any time, and the coastal towns will be quickly reinforced, and the inland Konoha villages will also react quickly.
Since the three generations of Hokage issued martial law, more people have been sent here. The number of ninjas reached nearly five hundred, and there were ninjas standing guard on the watchtowers and city walls at all times, monitoring every move on the sea. There are also teams of ninjas patrolling around the clock. In the loft on the top floor of the fort, more than a dozen carrier pigeons were ready to deliver the message to the rear.
It's morning, and the weather is a little gloomy. The ninjas on duty stood guard all over the castle walls, and the ninjas on the watchtower watched the sea with their glasses from time to time.
At this time, the fog gradually began to rise on the surface of the sea, and the fog came suddenly and without warning. Traces of white mist drift above the sea and then drift towards the shore with the sea breeze. The mist rolled and fluttered, and then gradually spread, enveloping the entire coast and forming a white curtain.
The entire coast was white and covered with fog. The air became very humid, the fog became thicker, the visibility gradually decreased, and the ninja's vision was greatly restricted. (BGM: Invasion, Koji Takanashi)
"Huh, it's foggy?" the Konoha ninja standing guard was stunned.
"Well, it's strange, there is no fog on the sea in the early morning, why is it foggy at this time?" Konoha Ninja didn't care at first, but when the fog was thick, he felt a little strange.
The ninjas were enveloped in a thick mist, and their surroundings became hazy, and they couldn't see people from a few meters away. The battlements, watchtowers, and gates all disappeared from view, leaving only the white mist. The huge outline of the fortress also faded in the thick fog, and only the sound of the waves remained.
The ninjas on the high walls are isolated by a thick fog and can only determine each other's location by sound. The person standing next to him disappeared as soon as he turned around a few steps after walking out!
"Hey, are you all right?" asked the Konoha team leader, who was in charge of leading the team.
"It's okay!" "It's okay!" "Normal!" Everyone responded to him, and the Konoha leader felt a little calmer, and ordered the people on the watchtower: "Watchtower, the fog came suddenly, pay attention to monitoring, and alert immediately if you find anything abnormal!"
"Understood!" the two ninjas on the watchtower immediately cheered up. They turned on the giant searchlight, and a bright light shone through the dense fog to the sea, searching back and forth in the fog.
Except for the fog, it seems like business as usual......
"Nothing happening yet...... "The ninja on the watchtower spoke, but they didn't notice what seemed to be a vague silhouette flickering behind them, like a ghost, without making a sound at all......
In the thick fog, except for the sound of the waves, the surroundings gradually became quiet......
"Damn, what the hell is the weather!" a Konoha ninja standing guard on the fence couldn't help but scold. Before he could say anything, behind him, a long dark shadow suddenly and silently cut through the thick fog and swept towards him at a rapid speed!
"Huh?" The Konoha ninja happened to turn around at this time, just in time to see an extremely sharp blade straight into his face, and then his eyes went black, and he didn't know anything. The last picture I saw in my eyes was a headless body slowly kneeling on the ground, bleeding profusely from the neck, that ...... It seems to be himself......
Next to the dead ninja, the vague silhouette took a step back, and the figure melted into the fog again, nowhere to be found. The whole process was terrifyingly quiet......
"yes, it's strange weather, it's suddenly such a big fog!" Another ninja turned to look at his companion as he replied to his companion's words.
But not only did he not see anyone, but no one responded to his words......
"Huh?" Konoha Ninja was stunned for a moment, and the vague outline of a ghostly ghost quietly appeared in the dense fog behind him!
The Konoha ninja suddenly felt a huge force coming from behind him, he was jerked backwards, and before he could shout, his body flew upside down into the fog and disappeared, and after a few times the mist churned, it calmed down again. Silent......
"Click!" The next moment, the two ninjas standing guard at the other end of the high wall heard a little noise behind them, and subconsciously turned around.
As they turned back, the blurred silhouette flashed between the two of them, and the long black shadow in his hand swung with all his might, slashing sideways and returning to the starting point again. The two Konoha ninjas collapsed to the ground before they could react.
The thick mist was swept away by the air flow generated by the wave of the black shadow, and only then did I see clearly the long black shadow that took people's lives: it turned out to be a large knife with a height of one person, with a wide knife surface, a straight blade, and a slightly upturned arc of the knife head, which was extremely sharp!
After it was determined that the Konoha ninja was dead, the ghostly ghost disappeared into the fog again......
The Konoha leader on duty led two of his subordinates to guard the position in the middle of the outer wall, and there were a few companions standing guard near them.
The leader felt that his surroundings seemed to be getting quieter and quieter! and the dense fog around him made it impossible to see anything, and he felt suffocated in a confined space. The team leader felt a little hairy in his heart, as if he was being watched by a beast hiding in the shadows!
He struck a spirit, and hurriedly asked loudly, "Hey, watchtower, is there any situation?"
"......" did not respond. The two men on the watchtower lay quietly against the wall, as if they were asleep. It's just that the ground under the two of them has turned dark red......
"Is there a situation on the north and south sides, and what about the guards?" he asked again.
"......" still did not respond. If the lying corpses on the ground could still respond to him......
"Be careful! there is a situation...... "Team leader Konoha was shocked, and immediately shouted loudly, ready to remind everyone.
Suddenly, a huge needle-like weapon pierced through the fog!
"Poof!" the long needle struck the Konoha leader head-on. Blood rushed into his lungs in an instant, blocking his trachea, and he wanted to speak, but blood gushed out of his mouth.
After the long needle penetrated through the chest, the castration continued unabated, and stabbed at the subordinates behind the Konoha leader!
"Poof!" his subordinates were caught off guard and before they could turn around, the long needle-like knife pierced him directly through his back.
"Huh?" the remaining Konoha ninja took a few steps back in fright in the face of the sudden situation in front of him, "Huh!" A steel wire had been thrown over and quickly wrapped around his neck, and the other end of the wire was attached to the circular eye at the end of the long needle.
Just as he was struggling desperately, a dark shadow in the dense fog reached out and grabbed the long needle, and then pulled it hard like sewing clothes, and the steel wire at the end of the needle retracted!
With the sharp grinding sound of the metal thread, "Click!" The neck of the Konoha ninja was broken by the tightened steel wire, and the tightened steel wire strung the three of them together!
At the same time, "Whoosh, whoosh!" Several blue chakras flew out, and the chakras condensed into a solid hidden weapon like fish bones, and several Konoha ninjas standing guard nearby were nailed to the wall alive before they could react!
"What's going on, what's going on?" A group of ninjas on patrol had already rushed to the vicinity when they heard the noise, they smelled a faint smell of blood, and immediately alerted: "Damn, there is an enemy ......"
"Hum!" Suddenly, a sharp blue chakra cut through the thick fog and swept sideways over them! This move was very wide, not only did it cut through a large area of fog in an instant, but it also cut all the ninjas in half!
Behind the thick mist, it was the enemy who had used this terrible trick, and he held in both hands a pair of black twin knives, which were wide and shaped like flounders, and the pale blue chakra was attached to the blades.
Just now, he swung out a chakra condensed sword qi, and the sword qi quickly extended, and he threw out a single breath like a long whip to kill the entire Konoha patrol. The chakra knife qi that shoots like a fish's bones is also his masterpiece.
The ninjas of Konoha fell in a pool of blood, and although one of the Konoha ninjas was cut in half, he did not immediately lose his breath, and he desperately crawled forward with his instinct to survive. The ghostly black shadow quietly fell behind him, stomped on his body with a fierce kick, and the big knife in his hand swung mercilessly!
Blood splattered, but the killing in the fog continued......
One by one, the ninjas on the outer walls of the fortress died, and the smell of blood in the air grew stronger, and the white mist seemed to be dyed a pale red. It did not alert most of the people, and most of the ninjas were still resting in their barracks.
It's only been a few minutes since the fog started, but the guards on the periphery of the fortress are almost dead......
Several ninjas came from the inner fort, and were about to change shifts with their companions on duty, when they walked through the indoor hallway, and when they opened the door, they found that it was already foggy outside.
"Huh, what's going on?" One of them was a ninja from Hinata's family, and he immediately sealed and opened his white eyes: "[White Eyes]!"
He swept it with the roll of his eyes: "This ...... There is a faint chakra in the mist, and the fog is man-made! This is the [Fog Concealment Technique]! It is the Fog Concealment ......"
A vague silhouette appeared behind Hinata Ninja!
