Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Truncated Lifeline
Yun Yin, Thunder Shadow Office.
After finishing today's share of weight training, the fourth generation of Lei Ying put the barbell on the ground with an astonishing weight, and then exhaled lightly, and there was more sweat from the exercise on his angular face.
"Lord Thunder Shadow, this is a front-line battle report about the Alliance Army. Since Yun Yin did not join it, the information in some places was missing and the records were incomplete. β
After the secretary Ma Buyi finished training for the four generations of Thunder Shadow, he respectfully handed over the battle report document in his hand and let the four generations of Thunder Shadow see it.
The fourth generation of Lei Ying wiped his face, neck, and arms with a wet towel before taking the battle report document and casually browsing it.
"The military power of the country of ghosts, it's really not that simple, this group of guys in Konoha is really lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot."
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow snorted lightly, saying so, but the various news in the battle report still surprised him, the Thunder Shadow.
It is easy to say that one enemy and four enemies are simple, if it is changed to Yunyin, under the first round of attacks of the alliance army of the four countries, there may not be room for counterattacks, and they can only continue to lose land and compress their living space.
However, the country of demons has done exactly that, and it has done it beautifully.
Konoha's assault troops are stranded in the country of bears, and they are in a dilemma. If there is no follow-up support, this assault force will sooner or later be trapped and die in the territory of the Bear Country, and no one will survive.
The Iwakure offensive was stopped on the border of the Oni Country, and if this trend continued, it would be difficult for Iwakure to achieve much success on the frontal battlefield.
Under the leadership of the four generations of Mizukage, the mist successfully defeated the vanguard of the Oni Country, and steadily advanced in the western waters of the Oni Country, which surprised the four generations of Thunder Shadow, and couldn't help but feel jealous of the power of the Mist Ninja.
Sand Hide pulled out the Ghost Country stronghold in the northwest of the Wind Country, and tepidly confronted the Ghost Country, and then completely disappeared, making it impossible to figure out what the Wind Shadow of the Sand Hide was doing.
"There are rumors that Kazekage has left the front line, but the source and credibility of this information are somewhat suspicious. After all, it was such a critical moment, and it was impossible for Kazekage to leave the front line regardless of the overall situation. β
Azabui spoke his mind at this time.
Since Yun Yin did not join the Alliance Army, it was difficult for Yun Yin to obtain the internal situation in detail.
Just obtaining this information wasted a lot of Yun Yin's strength.
The four generations of Thunder Shadow nodded, his views were the same as those of Azabui, but these were just speculations, and they had no way of knowing what happened to Sha Yin.
"Continuing to send people to observe the movement of this war, I have a hunch that if the Four-Nation Alliance Army wants to succeed in winning this war, the result may not be as expected."
Thunder Shadow's face showed a cautious expression.
Among the ninja villages of the great powers, the four generations of Thunder Shadow believe that Yun Yin is the military power of the country of ghosts, and the analysis is the most rigorous and serious village.
And it was based on this understanding that he felt that it would be an extremely wrong decision for an alliance army that could not achieve the goal of 'unification' internally to go to war with the country of ghosts.
Nominally, it is to sanction the country of ghosts and restrict the activities of the country of ghosts in various parts of the ninja world, shouting the slogan of justice and peace, but the four ninja villages each have their own calculations and cannot truly trust each other.
A single mistake could shatter the Alliance's fragile bond of trust.
The coalition forces seem to be powerful, but there are various irreconcilable contradictions within them, and in the final analysis, they are still fighting on their own.
"This ...... Unlikely, right? β
Azabui said.
"The direction of this war is uncontrollable, and anything bizarre can happen. At present, on the whole, it is the alliance army that has a slight upper hand, but I think the counterattack of the country of ghosts will not end here. Judging from the previous series of actions of the Oni Country, their ninja troops are very mobile, and they also have a variety of powerful firearms to help, which can deter the enemy's offensive to a certain extent. Compared to the alliance armies that fought on their own, the country of ghosts was fighting alone, but it was completely unified internally......"
In the eyes of the four generations of Thunder Shadow, the advantages and disadvantages of the Alliance Army and the Ghost Country are very obvious.
The two sides are now in a stalemate on the frontline battlefield, and they urgently need a powerful force to completely break this deadlock and completely revitalize their own chess pieces on the chessboard.
However, because they are not insiders of the Alliance Army, the four generations of Thunder Shadow also have no way of knowing what kind of strategies the Alliance Army and the Ghost Country plan to adopt to revitalize their chess pieces.
β
The land of thunder, in the valleys of cold mist.
A tall and a short figure sat in the cave, holding the posture of sealing, closing their eyes.
I don't know how long it took for the two to open their eyes, and one of them revealed a pair of red writing wheel eyes.
Both of them are dressed in coats with red clouds on a black background, and they wear rings with engraved words on their fingers, which are the two Itachi and Oni Shark.
The ghost shark took the lead in standing up, dusted off the wrinkles on his clothes, and put the big sword shark muscles behind his back again.
He grinned with a mouthful of fangs and laughed:
"I didn't expect that not long after I came to the Land of Thunder, we had to leave immediately before we started our mission, and it was really impermanent. You say yes, Itachi? β
"Don't mess around, Oni Shark. In any case, it is also our companion, and the safety of our companion is more important than the mission. I think that's what the leaders meant at the meeting. β
Itachi just sighed at this teasing remark of the ghost shark.
Since the core members of the organization, Scorpion and Deidara have lost contact in the territory of the Land of Wind, so after the meeting just now, he and the Oni Shark will go to the Land of Wind to find out the situation between Scorpion and Deidara.
To live is to see people, and to die is to see corpses.
As core members, Scorpion and Deidara know too many secrets of the organization, and even if they do have an accident in the Land of Wind, they must ensure that their secrets will not be seized by outsiders, resulting in the leakage of the organization's information.
"Either way, he's a superior who likes to call people. I finally infiltrated the Land of Thunder, and I was just about to start searching for the whereabouts of the Eight-Tails Pillar Force, and now I want us to go to the Land of Wind......"
The ghost shark complained, the volume was not small, and the weasel could clearly feel the unhappiness in the ghost shark's heart.
Thinking about it, it took them a lot of effort to avoid the sight of the Cloud Hidden Ninja in the Land of Thunder, but when they arranged everything, their superiors asked them to put down everything in their hands and infiltrate the Land of Wind to find the whereabouts of the members of the organization. Such an order can indeed make impatient people feel irritable.
Ghost sharks belong to the category of people who are impatient.
"And the Sand Ninja of the Land of Wind is in conflict with the Land of Ghosts, and if you go there, the battle may happen at any time, I hope this mission can end soon, if you are entangled, things will be in trouble."
The words of the ghost shark made the weasel quite recognized.
The battlefield of ninjas is undoubtedly a very dangerous place.
Although the scale of the war has not spread to the entire territory of the Wind Country, the Wind Country at this moment must have been under martial law by the Sand Ninjas, and it will take a lot of effort just to sneak in quietly. When the message cannot be delivered, it is not so easy to find the two of Scorpion and Deidara from the great Windy Country.
"There's no way around it, but Hei Jue went to the fog to investigate the whereabouts of the six tails, and the rest of the colleagues have their own affairs, and only the two of us can be dispatched. Let's go, get things done sooner. β
Itachi puts a hat with wind chimes on his head and walks out of the cave.
The ghost shark followed, and the figure quickly disappeared in the dense fog outside the cave, only the crisp and beautiful wind chimes rang Lingling.
β
The earth was silvery white.
Although the wind and snow have stopped, the air is still unusually cold.
A rapid march of 2,000 Konoha ninjas was running at high speed across the realm of the Bird Country, and it was not difficult to see that the direction they were heading was directly towards the Bear Country.
It can be guessed that their purpose is to join up with the Konoha ninjas in the east of the Bear Country, and through the numerical superiority, they will establish the advantage of the Bear Country battlefield in one fell swoop, and defeat the main force of the Oni Country placed in the territory of the Bear Country.
In this way, they can occupy the Bear Country area at full speed, and then directly border the Oni Country, threatening the Oni Country's homeland security and expanding the Alliance's superiority in military operations.
In response to this, the coalition army led by Konoha has full confidence in this operation.
Not to mention the fact that Sha Yin, who is in the crisis of the disappearance of the human pillar force, after containing a main force in the country of ghosts, even if the power of the three ninja villages is activated, it will be enough to promote the implementation of this plan and ensure its smooth completion.
As time passed, the time also came into the afternoon, and the sky was still gray, and there was no obvious daylight.
A rapid march of 2,000 Konoha ninjas is galloping through the snowy forest, and it is only a few dozen kilometers away from meeting up with the Konoha ninjas in the eastern part of the Bear Country.
At this moment, a figure passed in front of the Konoha ninja in front of the unit without warning, and the speed was so fast that it was difficult for the upper ninja to clearly discern the opponent's trajectory, and rushed into the troops.
Suspicious, some ninjas felt that something was wrong, and suddenly stopped, looked back and back, their pupils instantly shrank.
I saw that the trees and snow in front of me were infected with blood and turned red at some point, and one by one Konoha ninjas fell into a pool of blood without reacting, and until they died, their eyes showed a blank and incomprehensible look.
On the snow covered with corpses and blood, a figure stood in the middle, with long black hair, red writing wheels, and a cold appearance, all showing the identity of the other party - Uchiha Ruri!
"Smallβ"
"Fire escape, fire extinguished!"
Rumble!
The cold air of the forest swept away, and the hot waves of fire swept away the voices and bodies of the enemy with overwhelming momentum.
The rest of the squadron reacted in the same way, looking at the sudden fire in the forest and instantly realized that their troops had been attacked by the enemy.
However, before they could make their next move, they stared blankly into the air.
A samurai with a dark red body overshadowed the towering ancient trees in the forest in the blink of an eye, and a terrifying and hideous shadow fell directly on the face of the Konoha ninja.
In the frightened and shocked expression of the Konoha ninja, the dark red samurai raised the chakra sword in his hand and slashed down at the ground mercilessly.
"Get out of the way!"
One of the shinobi roared in amazement.
If you are directly hit by such an attack, you will definitely be dead.
"Turre!"
The thunder swept the land, and the fleeing Konoha ninjas screamed one after another, paralyzed by the thunder and lightning, and fell to the ground, unable to move.
Turning their heads, the Chakra Greatsword had already reached their heads, and they found that they could only wait for death on the spot, and their eyes were uncontrollable with despair.
Rumble!
The rift cut by the sword light extended into the depths of the forest, as if it was about to cut the entire forest in half.
The trees on both sides were also blown away by the storm caused by the blade, and the Konoha ninja who was affected screamed in the snow and could not stand.
Standing on top of Susanoo's head, Ruri had already turned on the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye state, his eyes swept over the ground, deaf to these screams, indifferently drove the samurai, trying to swing the sword again, so that the Konoha ninja here further fell into a state of panic and helplessness.
"Don't succeed! The art of multiplication! β
There was a loud bang behind him.
Carrying a fist that destroys all strong winds, he does not hesitate to smash into the back of the Susanoh samurai.
"Wakare!"
The eyes of the Akido ninja who turned into giants using the technique of multiplication widened, and the figures of Ruri and the samurai disappeared from front of him, and their fists smashed into the air.
Then, my back was cold.
As soon as the Akido ninja turned around, the dark red light released by the blade of the sword had already shone on his face, and then his consciousness lost contact with his body.
Looking at the headless giant in front of him, his body shrank rapidly, and Liuli no longer looked at it, and the red kaleidoscope writing wheel eye swept to the other side, and the blade of the sword swung away vigorously.
"Fire Thunder!"
The blade slashed at the ground, and the thunder that exploded directly swept the bodies of the Konoha ninjas who wanted to escape from the battlefield, causing them to let out a muffled grunt of pain, and their bodies stopped in place without obeying the call, unable to move a single step.
The samurai lifted his feet and began to stomp and crush the ground in front of him.
"Damn, stop me!"
In the distance, a group of Konoha ninjas chased after them without fear of life and death, and while they were running, they made seals while mobilizing the chakra in their bodies, wanting to use ninjutsu to restrict Ruri's movements.
"Heavenly Thunder!"
The invisible wave centered on the giant samurai and spread in all directions.
The Konoha ninja who was affected was like being hit by lightning, his body froze in place in an instant, and his brain seemed to have been hit by some terrible impact, blank, unable to think, let alone consciously perform ninjutsu.
Liuli's eyes flickered, and his face was still indifferent and he waved the chakra giant sword.
As the sword light swept through the crowd, all the screams and pain returned to silence, and life also returned to nothingness in an instant.
Liuli is like walking in the park after dinner, there is no enthusiasm or nervousness, and some are just leisurely.
In the end, this is just an ordinary task assigned by his own man.
Looking at the Konoha ninja who broke up and fled, Ruri didn't go after it, in order to chase this person, it was pointless to waste his pupil technique.
Sure enough, it was simply unrealistic to let these Konoha ninjas who were not afraid of death rush up in groups.
Especially after it became clear that struggle and resistance were meaningless, they instinctively fled the battlefield.
"The warm-up is over, and next, it's time to head to Myoki Mountain."
Ruri ignored the burning forest and looked at the sky in the distance, a sharp light flashed in her red eyes.
β
The lava-burning warrior roared loudly in the snow, like a beast in a state of hunger, and picked up the flaming blade and slashed at the two giant toads in front of him.
"Jian, hold me up!"
Toad Bunta, who was clenching the short knife, began to shout at Toad Ken, who was in a bitter battle.
At the same time, it didn't turn the short knife in its hand and aimed it at the neck of the lava warrior.
"Although...... I'm clumsy...... But I'll try! β
Toad Jian held a pot-lid-shaped shield and endured every round of slashes from the flame blade, and blood flowed from the corners of his arms and mouth due to the strong concussive impact.
When it said this, it gritted its teeth, as if it had exhausted all the strength of its body, staring at the lava warrior in front of it in a state of rage.
And on the surrounding snow, countless Konoha ninjas and Oni no Kuni ninjas fought fiercely, and the ninjas on both sides were killed and injured.
The sound of shelling has never been silenced on the battlefield since the moment the battle began, and the smoke of war fills every corner of the cold winter land.
The Konoha ninja, who was attacked by the main force of the Oni Country, was undoubtedly caught in a difficult battle.
A pale figure, armed with a spear wrapped in a belt, flickered on the battlefield like a ghost, oblivious to the fighting and fighting on both sides, just searching for the corpse of the dead ninja.
Like a grim reaper who collects the souls of the dead.
"Tu Dun Huangquan Marsh!"
The earth turned into a swamp, and the feet of the bare man suddenly fell into the bottomless swamp and stopped moving.
"What did you do to those dead Konoha ninjas?"
Jiraiya's face was gloomy and blocked Akako's actions, because his behavior was too weird.
Obviously the battle has begun, but this guy has no interest in fighting, and instead keeps looking for the corpses of dead ninjas on the battlefield.
Intuition tells Jiraiya that this behavior of the Akako must be stopped, otherwise it will inevitably lead to extremely terrible consequences.
Akako, who had returned to his teenage form, glanced at Jiraiya indifferently, and with a little force, he broke free from the shackles of the swamp and ran to the location of the corpse.
"Stop!"
Jiraiya wanted to continue the pursuit, but a sword light slashed over, forcing Jiraiya back.
"This can't be done, Your Excellency Jiraiya, your opponent is me, and now you don't have time to deal with others."
Kazuhime, armed with a Kusanagi sword, comes to Jiraiya and stops him from interfering with Akako.
"Little girl, you're too annoying. Can you tell me, what is that guy doing? Instead of fighting, they keep looking for corpses on the battlefield, which is strange no matter how you look at it. β
Jiraiya sighed and asked the question.
"No comment, you just have to stay here."
At the same time as he spoke, Ichihime rushed forward preemptively, and without thinking, aimed at Jiraiya's body is a sword.
Jiraiya's figure disappeared from under the blade and jumped high in the air, and the clogs slapped twice in the air.
"Fire Escape: Flame Bomb!"
A huge fireball of scorching heat erupted from his mouth and fell to Kazuhime on the ground.
Kazuhime was a little surprised, but didn't hesitate, there was a lot of room to dodge, and Kazuhime chose to dodge the fireball from the right side.
And as if he knew that Kazuhime would escape from there in advance, his hands had already been placed in the Indian style one step ahead.
"Ninja Method: Chaotic Lion Hair Technique!"
The pale hair quickly lengthened, like ropes wrapped around Ichihime's limbs and neck.
The power contained in these hairs was enough to crush the human body, and he began to tighten the slender swan-like snow-white neck of Ichihime, wanting to let her die in the pain of suffocation.
"It's really worthy of Your Excellency, the release of ninjutsu and the timing of the attack are just right, and there is no superfluity."
Kazuhime smiled slightly, even in a tight state, he was still able to speak.
"Little girl, you are, what a monster."
Jiraiya doesn't smile with a smile on his face.
Obviously, his neck looks so slender that it seems to break if he folds, but the result is that he is still able to talk and laugh under the restraint of his ninjutsu that can crush human bones.
Is this really a human body?
"No, it still hurts. Moreover, what a faux pas to call a lady a monster! β
Kazuhime frowned slightly, and as the restraint on her neck became tighter and tighter, the breathing tube used for ventilation became unobstructed.
Then, she clenched her hands, and a surging power burst out from all over her body.
The white hair wrapped around her neck and limbs made a snorting and tearing sound.
Bang!
With a slight explosion, the white hair that wrapped around Ichihime's body was completely torn apart by her.
Kazuhime's figure flickered, holding a sword in her right hand, and her left hand quickly lifted her skirt from the hem, revealing the white thigh flesh between her leggings and black over-the-knee socks.
I saw a black belt leg loop wrapped around my thigh, and my left hand quickly brushed over the leg ring, and a flintlock pistol fell into Ichihime's left hand.
Bang bang!
Two bullets flew out, hitting Jiraiya's eyebrows and chest with incredible precision.
Jiraiya sped up and ran wildly, narrowly avoiding the bullets.
However, the jumping and stagnation in the air, as well as the instant timing before landing on the ground, were seen through by Yiji first.
Ichihime raised the Kusanagi sword in her right hand high, narrowed the distance between herself and Jiraiya with an instantaneous technique, and ruthlessly swung the raised Kusanagi sword down.
After Jiraiya's body hit the ground, he leaned back directly, narrowly avoiding the slash of the Kusanagi sword.
A strand of hair fell down.
Dissatisfied with this result, Kazuhime picked up the flintlock pistol in her left hand and shot Jiraiya again in the body.
Rumble!
The bullet exploded, and the flames instantly engulfed Jiraiya's body.
After the fire and the black smoke of the explosion disappeared, Jiraiya appeared in front of Kazuhime unscathed.
Long hardened white hair encircled Jiraiya's body, resisting the bombardment of bullets.
"Little girl, although your attack is powerful and fast, your combat experience is still very immature, and it is not difficult to see through such moves."
The long white hair began to return to its original shape, and Jiraiya maintained the posture of the seal, and said to Kazuhime.
"You don't need to be reminded of this kind of thing. However, for the sake of the face you just worked so hard to dodge, I will reluctantly tell you a good news. β
Kazuhime lifted the hem of her skirt and put the flintlock pistol back on her thigh, securing it with a belt-style leg loop.
The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a smile of unknown meaning.
And Yiji's smile made Jiraiya's heart suddenly burst out, and he had a bad premonition.
"That is, there is no need to fantasize about the reinforcements coming from Konoha to make dumplings together, they are now on the road and have most likely turned into a pile of corpses. Otherwise, why do you think I would show up at such a time to come and stop you from leaving? β
Jiraiya, who was originally calm, finally changed his face after Yihime said this, and his eyes were shocked.
"This is a war that you have started on your own initiative, but it is up to us to decide when and how the war will end. So, just stay here honestly and don't mess around. β
As if in order to echo Kazuhime's words, the two huge psychic beasts of Toad Bunta and Toad Ken, who were resisting the lava warriors, screamed and flew out, smashing into the huge high wall of the fortress, and immediately two huge potholes appeared, and the high wall collapsed unsteadily, setting off a sky full of dust and snow.
The Konoha ninjas along the way were also scattered in formation, and the screams were all in one.
The lava warrior's greatsword formed a bow that eventually turned into a streamer of light and rushed into the fortress from the top of the collapsed wall.
After a moment of silence, a sky-high fire erupted from inside the fortress, and in the high-temperature steamer where light and shadow were distorted, the surrounding buildings also disappeared without a trace under the impact.
Looking at the fortress area that had been destroyed by the arrows, the Konoha ninja's face suddenly turned pale.
Because it is the main warehouse for their food, medical and daily necessities.
"Okay, the assault mission of destroying materials has been successfully completed, then, looking forward to our next meeting, Your Excellency. This game is only now really opening. β
Ichihime jumped backwards, and countless Oni no Kuni ninjas also faded like a tide and withdrew from the battlefield.
Leave a mess behind.
