Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Dust of the Clearance
Seeing that Yichen was not injured, Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the ninja who had simply cleaned up the battlefield reported: "Tsuchikage-sama, the members of the oil girl clan on the other side have escaped, and we killed a worm clone. ”
Onoki nodded, this kind of thing is not unusual, Konoha is the most difficult secret art family, and the battlefield survivability is very strong.
Seeing that Onoki didn't bother with the ninjas of the Oil Girl clan, he asked, "Tsuchikage-sama, do you want to do it now?" ”
"Yes." Onoki nodded, then said to Yichen, "Confirm the enemy's location." "Now the crowd is not far from the center of the battle, but due to the terrain, the view is obscured and can only be perceived.
"Yes." Yichen didn't dare to slack off, and used perceptual ninjutsu to confirm the approximate location of the ninjas on both sides who were fighting in the distance.
Since he had sensed the sand ninja's chakra before, Yichen could easily distinguish between Konoha and Sand Ninja. Then he said: "Sand ninja and Konoha will already be entangled together, judging from the chakra reaction, there are more Konoha ninjas in this direction, and there are more sand ninjas in this direction." ”
Yichen pointed in two directions successively, and then said no more, waiting for Onoki to give an order.
Without the slightest delay, Onoki said: "Target Konoha, all B-level and above Earth Escape Ninjutsu, according to Plan B, concentrate fire to attack." ”
After the order was given, the seven shinobi stood up and cast a rippling palm in the direction of the Konoha shadows in the distance.
The Rip Palm can turn the land over within a certain area, making it difficult to dodge if you can't fly. But this ninjutsu is not very lethal, and it mainly restricts the ninja's actions.
Remember the URL
But after the soil was torn and the palm was turned, three more Shangninas cast the Earth Escape Yellow Spring Swamp together.
Originally, Konoha and Sand Shinobi were concentrating on the battle, and they were not much prepared for the sudden attack of the rippling earth, and most of them were hit, some were restricted in their movements, and some were directly injured.
In this case, a rapidly spreading Huangquannuma directly included these people.
There were three people who were directly devoured on the spot, and most of the ninjas couldn't break free, and the few who were able to break free even though they were hit also needed time.
But most of these people are from Konoha side, and although the sand shinobi on the other side doesn't know where this attack is coming from, the enemy in front of him just gave him the opportunity to beat the water dog, how can he let it go.
As a result, many of the Konoha shadows that were restrained by Huangquannuma immediately encountered a dense attack from the sand ninja.
At this time, White Fang and Chiyo, who were fighting not far away, also had a tacit understanding to stop. White Fang looked at the slaughtered subordinates with a gloomy face, although the shadows brought out this time were loyal to the Hokage, but many of them were his original subordinates from World War II. How can it be nice to watch these subordinates being slaughtered now.
Looking at his subordinates who had suffered heavy casualties, White Fang was a little skeptical that today's scene was designed by Sand Shinobi and Iwa Shinobi together.
After retreating to his subordinates, White Fang said to a ninja of the Hyuga clan, "Look for the oil girl and their team." ”
The member of Hyuga searched for it with a long-term look with white eyes, and then said with an ugly face, "Lord White Fang, Wada and they were all killed by Iwa Shinobi. ”
Although he was already prepared, White Fang's face was still a little more gloomy.
"Retreat!" These two words are almost white teeth squeezed out of between the teeth. You don't have to think about it to know what a huge blow to his prestige will be if he returns this time without success.
In the last defeat of the Vortex Country, White Fang, as the commander, resisted most of the pressure. This time there were so many casualties, it can be said that half of the dark strength that Konoha had recovered in the past two years had been consumed.
But this time White Fang's order made a different voice in the team, "White Fang, don't forget the mission, with your speed, there is a chance to grab the scorpion, we will drag Chiyo for you, and you will complete the task." "This is a member of the root of Danzang's men.
But White Fang didn't do this, but directly repeated the order: "Retreat, I'll break the back." ”
As soon as the words fell, White Fang charged in the direction of Sand Shinobi.
And the remaining shadows did not hesitate and retreated directly to the rear. The remaining members of the root looked at the ninja who had just questioned. Seeing that Baifang didn't cooperate, the other party couldn't help it, so he said, "Let's withdraw too." ”
Although the mission is important, White Fang insists on going his own way, the mission is doomed to failure, and he must preserve more combat power for the Danzang Lord.
After the rest of the roots also left, only White Fang was fighting with the sand shinobi on the scene.
In the distance, Yichen reported the situation to Onoki.
Then he saw Onoki perform the Earth Escape Light and Heavy Rock Technique, causing himself to fly, and then his eyes locked on the location of the dark part of Konoha. The hands made a diamond-shaped stance, and after a few seconds, a white light flashed away.
At the same time, a blank area appeared in Yichen's perception, and after the perception was restored, Yichen found that there were only eight people left in the dark part of the original fifteen people.
"What a quick escape! At this speed, I don't know if anyone will be able to dodge it after the attack is shot. ”
Without waiting for Yichen to continue to sigh, then the second white light followed, and the remaining eight shadows were missing three people.
Then the third white light, this time the target was the root, and the root was originally only twelve people, but this time it was also reduced by four.
However, after three white lights, in Yichen's perception, the Konoha ninjas in both places were very scattered. It's impossible to kill three or four more people in one hit.
Looking at the direction of White Fang with some regret, Onoki ordered, "Owl, retreat." ”
"Yes!"
Then Yichen and the others quickly left here and retreated in the direction of the Land Country. After about 2 minutes of rapid rushing, they saw a ninja force of about 200 people in the left front, rapidly advancing towards the battlefield.
Without any nonsense, Onogi, who discovered the enemy first, raised his hand, and after a little brewing, he was a dust. Then, you can see that a large piece is directly vacant in the center of the opponent's team.
Yichen then heard various voices coming from the other side.
"What's going on, what's going on?"
"It's dusty, disperse, disperse, disperse according to the E-class battle formation!"
"Don't stop them, this is the third generation of Tsuchikage, and our target is Konoha."
And when there was chaos on the other side, Onoki had already left far away with Yichen and his party.
After this team finished adjusting the formation, they could only see the backs of Yichen and them in the distance.
The single shot just now took the lives of at least twenty ninjas in this team, including their commander.
After seeing that the danger was lifted, a shinobi with good strength and qualifications stood up and said, "Change the formation and continue to the predetermined location, Chiyo-sama is still waiting for us." ”
Obviously, this team is one of the back moves of the Sand Shinobi, who has set up a larger encirclement on the periphery of the battlefield. It is necessary to leave all the dark parts of Konoha behind.
Of course, if it's a good deal, they don't mind leaving Iwa Shinobi's people behind.
There are also forces of this magnitude in other directions that are rushing towards the central battlefield, and the nearest few of them have already converged with Chiyo. And the army they encountered was close to the land of earth, so the march was slower and the encirclement was also slow.
This time, they were delayed for a while by Onoki's dust, and by the time they arrived on the periphery of the battlefield, the battle had turned into a pursuit battle.
By this time, White Fang had already merged with the members of the Dark and Root Divisions. There were 61 people when they came, and now only 9 people remain. And Chiyo is still chasing and killing behind.
It's just that although Chiyo is strong, she is not good at speed. And the other ninjas who are good at speed can't help White Fang, so in the early stage of the pursuit, the two sides just kept a certain distance and didn't have too much contact.
It was only when there were more and more sand ninjas who were good at speed that they began to slowly launch a tentative attack on Konoha's side.
Although White Fang's strength is strong, he can't stand the opponent's constant consumption and interference with long-range ninjutsu. In addition, the road from the land of bears to the land of fire is too long. So four more corpses were left on the way to retreat.
In the end, only five people, including White Fang, returned to Konoha, and a few days later, the member of the Oil Girl clan who had escaped from Iwa Shinobi also made a detour back to Konoha.
In this battle, the Konoha Ten Dark Squad plus the five Root Squads, a total of 60 elites, 55 people were killed in the battle. Only two or three people survived in the shadows and roots.
It can be said that the dark part of Konoha that has been recovering with great difficulty in the past two years has suffered a heavy blow again.
After Ape Fei Ri got the news, the whole person was several years old. And Tuan Zang was even more furious, and immediately jumped out to accuse Ape Fei Ri of improper use of people, and said again and again: "If you listened to him at the time and sent Orochimaru to appear, it would definitely not be like this." ”
Although the ape flying sun slash knew that the group was hiding in the nonsense, but at this time, the ape flying sun slash was no longer tough. There is no longer a reason to vouch for White Fang, after all, after causing such a big loss, the task has not been completed.
This is a big stain on the ninja's resume. Ape Fei Ri had to remove White Fang from all his positions, and let White Fang go home to obey his orders, waiting for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
But Danzang wouldn't let go of such an opportunity so easily. First, he proposed to impeach the Hokage again at a high-level meeting, but after being vetoed by several advisers except him, he took advantage of the situation to expand his roots.
It's just that this time, at the repeated insistence of the ape flying and slashing, Tuan Zang agreed that in the event of a war, the roots of the expanded organization would be scattered and incorporated into the regular army like the dark department.
Leaving the Hokage Building, he looked back and took a deep look at the Hokage Building. Then go straight back to the root base. After returning to the roots, Danzang immediately recruited his subordinates and began to attack the white fang's public opinion.
This loss of Konoha was magnified several times under the deliberate propaganda of Iwa Shinobi and Sand Shinobi, and then spread to the ninja world.
It's just that for a ninja village, the most important thing is the number and quality of ninjas, and now that it has been several years since the end of the war, Konoha has recovered a lot in this regard. Although he lost a large number of dark elites again, with the size of Konoha, it was not considered a broken bone. So there was no sign of war among the countries.
It's just that in private, there have been a lot more actions against Konoha in the shadows, which has expanded Konoha's losses a bit.
And this time the sand ninja also lost a lot, against Konoha lost nearly twenty ninjas, and there were seven or eight elites in the dark in the middle of the period. There are also more than a dozen ordinary ninjas who are chasing and intercepting.
But the biggest loss was Ohnogi's escape. However, although there are a lot of ninjas killed in battle, most of them are ordinary ninjas, and there are not many elite losses.
Just to exchange for the scorpion, a large sum of supplies was spent, which made the sand shinobi a little painful. Many sand ninja attributed the loss to the scorpion. It's just that the scorpion is now fitted with two prosthetics made by Chiyo, and lives a reclusive life with Chiyo and Ebizo, and everyone's accusations don't affect him much.
The scorpion didn't have much sense of belonging to the village in the first place, and now this only strengthened his determination to backstab the village.
