Chapter 42 Foothold

Above the horizontal plain, Xiekou Ridge, in the dense forest, an encounter unfolded in full swing.

Rumble! Rumble! …… Accompanied by the appearance of the ordinary rats in the painting, a series of violent explosions filled the entire forest.

"Ahh Several rats burst out of the shadows and hung on one of the Wind Demon ninjas, whose detonation charms flashed under the ninja's horrified gaze. Rumble! Rumble! …… Under the zero-range explosion attack, the ninja of the Wind Demon Clan undoubtedly hated the spot.

"Damn! What kind of ninjutsu is this?! The Wind Demon ninjas shouted through gritted teeth as they dodged.

After a few moments, the exploding rats finally disappeared, and the ninjas of the Wind Demon Clan were terrified, and they had lost a lot of money after an attack. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the Konoha ninjas hiding in the shadows took the opportunity to launch an offensive.

"Ahh Several ninjas of the Wind Demon clan were under the sword of the Konoha ninjas.

"Attack!!" The Wind Demon Clan is also a big ninja clan, and the ninjas in the clan are even more elite. In the face of the incoming enemy, the ninjas of the Wind Demon clan did not panic and met them fiercely.

In the forest, kunai and shuriken are flying everywhere, and the Konoha ninja and the wind demon ninja are basically using physical skills and swordsmanship as the main means of fighting. In this chaotic battlefield, physical arts and swordsmanship are undoubtedly the main means of attack for the ninjas and below. Very few ninjas use ninjutsu in such an undisguised situation, after all, it takes time to seal.

Both sides of the war are the elite of their own forces, after all, they are the vanguard of both sides. Although the ninjas of the Wind Demon clan were attacked by a sudden attack and lost more than a dozen ninjas, they still surpassed the Konoha ninjas in terms of ninja base.

"There are only twenty of those damn guys in Konoha, everyone cooperate with each other to kill them!!" In the process of fighting, the upper ninja of the Wind Demon clan mastered the form of the battlefield and immediately commanded the ninjas to converge and give full play to the advantage of numbers.

Seeing that the ninjas of the Wind Demon Clan began to stabilize their positions, Takashi Makumura directly gave the order to retreat, leaving the battlefield before the Wind Demon Clan could exert their collective strength.

"Do you want to escape!!" Five or six ninjas were not reconciled and immediately chased after them.

Yikes! Yikes! Yikes! With three hurried voices sounding, I saw that the several Wind Demon Ninjas who had gone to pursue suddenly spilled blood in the air, and fell headlong, each with an arrow feather stuck in their bodies.

The ninjas of the Wind Demon clan hurriedly hidden, not daring to come forward. "I didn't perceive the location of the archer, there is only one person with such ability in Konoha, Chenno Yuan!" Wind Demon Taiichi had a heavy heart, and he knew that he had encountered a terrible enemy this time, and the other party had defeated the people of Matsumoto Shigekuni, who even praised the patriarch of his own family.

It took a long time for the ninjas of the Wind Demon Clan to cautiously come out of their hiding places, not to mention the pursuit.

……

A few kilometers away, in a forest, members of the Konoha vanguard such as Chenno Yuan were here.

"After the temptation just now, the strength of the ninjas of the Wind Demon Clan is very good," Chen Ye Yuan said to Makumura Takashi and the others, "Although we were raided, they reacted quickly, and all six of us were seriously injured......

"The strength of the other party is not weak, they are all characters above the middle ninja, and it ......is a little difficult to leave them with our current combat strength," Makumura Takashi said.

"It's okay, this situation is still expected," Chen Yeyuan said calmly, "Our position now is just on the main road to the level, as long as we hold here, we can pave the way for the follow-up troops......"

"So let's start fighting each other now, as long as we survive this afternoon, the follow-up troops will arrive."

After a period of discussion, the Konoha ninjas such as Chenno Yuan began to lay various traps around the Wind Demon Clan, as if they had the intention of blocking their opponents. The arrangement of the people was soon discovered by the ninjas of the Wind Demon Clan, so the Wind Demon Taiyi immediately organized people to investigate. During this period, several Konoha ninjas were discovered by the ninjas of the Wind Demon Clan, but the Ninjas of the Wind Demon Clan had no intention of chasing, but were just on guard from a distance. In the original plan, it was to divide the team of the Wind Demon Clan, let them divide their troops, and then everyone broke them down, so as to set up small victories into big victories and completely destroy each other. It's a pity that the commander of the Wind Demon Clan is quite calm.

In fact, now Wind Demon Taichi was the most worried one in the audience, and when he knew that there were ministers in Konoha team, he didn't dare to disperse his forces. Because Chenyeyuan's bow and arrow are too powerful, now there are only about thirty ninjas in the Wind Demon clan, with such a ninja base, Wind Demon Taiyi has the confidence to confront the Konoha ninjas, if you attack rashly, under the secret arrow of Chenye Yuan, your subordinates may suffer heavy losses, and then you and your clan will be finished.

Now, although everyone can only shrink back to defense, this also ensures the safety of everyone. As long as you start to be prepared, the success rate of the Chenye Yuan's attack can be reduced, as it is now......

"It's coming!" A ninja of the Wind Demon clan shouted, and the Wind Demon Tai saw that a white light was speeding towards him. Without the Wind Demon Tai's order, the middle ninjas under his command had already begun to deal with it.

"Wind Escape, Storm Dance!" "Earth Escape, Earth Rock Gun!"

The two ninjas stepped forward and used ninjutsu to intercept the white rays down. As a black arrow feather landed weakly in front of the Wind Demon ninja, the Wind Demon ninjas suddenly let out a burst of cheers.

"Wind Escape broke the Thunder Chakra, and at the same time disturbed the direction and strength of the arrow feathers, and then the earth and rock gun intercepted it head-on...... It's really not to be underestimated! On a big tree thousands of kilometers away, Chen Yeyuan put down the strong bow in his hand, and the other party's response was beyond her expectations, "Since the other party has a response plan, then the next attack will not need ......"

"I see, this is what the future adults say, the wind escapes and restricts the thunder escape......" Makumura Takashi and others on the side realized.

"Well done! Mountain, Arashi! On the other hand, the Wind Demon Taiyi also breathed a sigh of relief, at least there was a way to fight it, so what would Konoha do?

The Wind Demon Clan's defensive network gave the people of Konoha a headache, and it was not a wise choice to attack now. After discovering that there was no chance to take advantage of it, the Konoha ninjas could only do a good job of gathering intelligence around them and waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops.

At the same time, the inaction of the Konoha Ninja also made the Wind Demon Taichi and others worried, and they speculated that the support of the Konoha Ninja might be coming. Considering the preservation of his own strength, the Wind Demon gave the order to retreat at once, and as for this Xikou Ridge, it could only be ceded to the enemy.

The retreat of the Wind Demon Clan, Chen Ye Yuan saw it, but she did not give the order to pursue, a ninja wanted to escape, but it was not so easy to catch up.

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Ishihara Chiba finally led a thousand Konoha ninjas to Xiekou Ridge, and the Konoha ninja army finally set foot on the level.
