Chapter Ninety-Four: Concerto of Blood Rain
There was no fighting on the Eastern Front.
The state of the Konoha dispatch army that occupies the eastern border region of the Land of Rain is relatively easy.
The leader of the rain ninja who is most feared by the Konoha ninjas is leading the main force of the rain ninja village to fight with the western border area of the rain country and the sand hide, and the rain ninja who stayed in the eastern region is a good tool for brushing up on combat merits in the eyes of the Konoha ninjas.
At the same time, in order to prevent the rain ninja who was pouring out of the nest to defeat the sand ninja army, the commander of the dispatch army, Shimura Danzo, also sent all the root ninjas under his command to steam out the rear supply lines of the rain ninja and the sand hide.
It's just that due to the relatively close distance of the rain ninja supply line and the weak escort force, the results of the sabotage attack on the rain ninja are particularly fruitful.
Therefore, the short period of time when Sanshoyu Hanzo led the army and the Sand Hidden Ninja Army to fight against each other was the happiest period for the Konoha ninjas who were forced to be sent to the front line of the Land of Rain to endure the hard years.
Not only did the quality of the rain ninja on the opposite side plummet, but the name of the rain ninja Murakami could be killed by Konoha Zhongninja alone; Even Shimura Danzo, who was ruthlessly counted down once by Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Shuo Shigeru, faced with the recent fruitful results, his old face was not so ugly.
The old boss is in a good mood, and the ninjas who have no background under his command are naturally in better spirits and more motivated.
But happy times are always short-lived, and when the information that Sanshoyu Hanzou fought to the death and broke through the sand in the first battle was transmitted, the entire dispatch army was like ants that had exploded.
In fact, the Konoha dispatch army is as high as 5,000 ninjas, and they have an overwhelming advantage over the Shangyu ninja in terms of quantity and quality, but the other party has Hanzo.
Especially after the details of the battle of the decisive battle on the Western Front continued to be passed back, the heart of the Konoha ninja became even more worried.
The ninja ninjas don't really care, after all, they have some life-saving means to press the bottom of the box. But the civilian ninjas who rely on seniority to stay up for promotion are really exploding.
Sanshoyu Hanzo's personal combat power, especially the invincible poisonous gas offensive and invincible swordsmanship, is even more fearful.
But since he has participated in the war, even if he is apprehensive in his heart, he must pretend to be happy when he hears the war, otherwise those elusive root lackeys may do some ruthless work.
Just when the Konoha ninja was actively preparing for the battle and waiting for the day, Sanshoyu Hanzo led the rain ninja army that had withdrawn from the battlefield on the Western Front and reappeared on the battlefield on the Eastern Front.
Sanshoyu Hanzo did not break his promise.
After breaking the camp of the Sand Hidden Ninja Army in World War I, he did not love to fight, and immediately led his troops back to the Eastern Front, trying to find the Konoha Ninja Army who blocked him in the rear to settle the account.
After an intense arrangement, the Konoha Dispatch Army officially confronted the Rain Shinobi and began a small-scale tentative engagement.
Sanshoyu Hanzo also did not want to launch a decisive charge as soon as he returned to the Eastern Front.
After the battle of Sand Yin on the Western Front, Yu Ren was already at the end of the crossbow, and there was a great shortage of both forbearance and medicine, especially the attack and strangulation of the regiment hiding in the supply lines along the way, which made the already not rich Yu Ren even more embarrassed.
After receiving the report on the battle on the western front of the Rain Country, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hagi Sakushige, after consulting with the commanders of the Western Border Defense Force Mimura Hamaki and Kime Kototo, who were also stationed on the southern border of the Rain Country, decided not to immediately enter the eastern front battlefield, but to lead their troops to slowly advance eastward from the south to threaten the flank of the rain ninja.
Although there is a great contradiction with Danzo, Hagi Shuomao's heart is still unwilling to slack off in official affairs, especially when it comes to sending so many Konoha ninjas, the inexplicable sense of responsibility in his heart immediately emerges.
In this regard, Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care much, and he couldn't make a disagreement with Sakushige Hachiki on these small issues.
As a result, the Western Frontier Defense Force, led by Mimura Hamaki and Kime Kototo, slowly moved to the eastern front with great fanfare, putting pressure on Yunin's right flank defense line.
The mobile unit led by Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige lurked alone behind the rain shinobi in pursuit of an opportunity to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
"Rain Ninja...... It's really unbearable......"
Behind the Rain Ninja East Front Station, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hagiki Sakushige lurked in a tree hole in the rainforest, observing the movements of the Rain Ninja camp.
This place is still far away from the rain ninja main formation where Sanshoyu Hanzo sits, and the quality of the rain ninja arranged in the rear is relatively average, and the two of them team up to scout here, and they don't have to worry about being surrounded by Yu Ninja discovering Wei.
"The first battle broke through the sand, and the loss of Yuren was indeed quite large." Hagi Sakumo set up a telescope to observe Yushinobi's movements, and casually responded to Uchiha Tokumitsu's words.
"In that case, wouldn't we be needed in this battle?" Uchiha Tokumitsu looked a little lazy, in the past two days, there has been more and more rain in the rain country, and the air has become more and more humid, as the Uchiha who is good at fire escape, he feels very uncomfortable.
"Let's see how much combat power Hanzo can maintain at the moment......" Hachiki Shuo Shigeru hesitated for a moment and gave a cautious answer.
"Is Hanzo so strong?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
It was the first time he had heard Sakushige Hagi mention another ninja with a tone of jealousy.
"Sanshoyu Hanzo is indeed very strong......," Hachiki Shuoshige's tone was filled with admiration, "The establishment of the Rain Ninja Village and the rise of the Land of Rain have contributed to Hanzo. And he doesn't just rely on poison arts, water escape and swordsmanship are the best in the ninja world......"
"Really?" Uchiha Tokumitsu licked his lips, "I really wish I could see the demeanor of a demigod......"
"Yes......"
Hachiki Sakushige continued to observe the rain shinobi through the binoculars.
……
After three days of rest and replenishment, after replenishing all kinds of supplies, Yu Shinobi, who had recovered a little, began to take the initiative to attack the position of the Konoha Dispatch Army. The figure of Sanshoyu Hanzo also frequently appears on the battlefield.
Yushinobu had to take the initiative to attack.
The western border defense force, which had advanced from the south and eastward, under the leadership of commanders Mimura Hamaki and Kime Koto, was attacking the weak right flank of the rain ninja, and once a flank attack was formed, the situation facing the rain ninja would be even worse.
But at this time, if the army is withdrawn and retreated like this, the arrogant Sanshoyu Hanzo can't accept it, so he can only launch a desperate attack when it is very likely that he will be attacked in the abdomen.
After two days of high-intensity team engagement, the Konoha ninjas also regained their touch, and the confidence brought by repeated victories suppressed the fear of Sanshoyu Hanzo.
……
Boom, boom!
The sound of the wind was mixed with rolling thunder, which resounded through the heavens and the earth.
Bolts of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the dark earth.
The gloomy sky was covered with dark clouds, and with the flickering and roaring of thunder and lightning, the rain poured like sharp arrows into the world, as if to wash away all the killing and blood.
With thunder, the rain became heavier and heavier.
Under the dark night, lightning bolts that broke through the sky illuminated the ground, revealing the figure of the rain ninja who was silently walking forward.
Walking at the forefront of the rain ninja team is still the leader of the rain ninja village, Sanshoyu Hanzo.
He slung his usual chains and strode forward with his head held high.
The tall body seems to be trying to shield the rain behind him from all the storms and thunderstorms.
The two thousand three hundred rain ninjas here are already the last complete combat power of the rain ninja village and even the rain country.
Tonight, he will lead them to attack the Konoha dispatch army, which is twice as large as his own.
He had a hunch that this battle would definitely be more difficult and cruel than the Western Front against Sha Yin.
But he didn't have any other way.
He couldn't think of any other way to resist the group's attack and stranglehold than to give it a go.
Rather than slowly losing blood and going into shock, it is better to take advantage of the last shred of strength to fight to the death against a malicious enemy.
The rain ninja who followed the silent march of Sanshoyu Hanzo was also firm.
The respirators they wore on their faces concealed their specific expressions, but they also knew how they were feeling at the moment.
Nervousness, fear, anxiety, excitement, anger......
But none of them flinched.
Before leaving, they had already written suicide notes.
He proudly proclaimed to his parents, wife, children, and brothers his pride and glory in fighting for the Land of Rain.
Then he put on all the forbearance equipment, and under the leadership of the leader, he resolutely embarked on this journey of no return.
Rain Shinobi fights for his village and for his country.
In this shattered country, there is always a need for someone to step up and do something.
Success or failure, life or death.
But you have to do it, and if you do it, there is hope.
Sanshoyu Hanzo strode forward in stagnant water, and he didn't look back at the ninja army under his command.
I'm afraid I won't be able to stop my tears.
He's worried, too.
Fear of defeat.
Fear of dying in battle.
Fear of losing the name of a demigod.
I'm even more worried about whether the Land of Rain will be able to maintain its current barely maintained rule after this war.
He still has a lot of ambitions to achieve, and he still has a lot of visions to live up.
But he didn't have a choice either.
The western Sand Hidden is licking its wounds and preparing to fight again, the northern Iwakure is about to invade, and the eastern and southern Konoha are pressing forward and strangling, and the Land of Rain has little room to retreat.
Sansho fish Hanzo is a belief that has not been shaken in the land of rain for 30 years.
The Rain Ninja Village is a ninja army that countless people in the Land of Rain have to support when they shrink their clothes and diet.
The heroic aura on his body could not tolerate him to retreat even more.
He had to move forward.
Walk firmly to lead the rain shinobi forward.
Even if there is an endless abyss ahead, even if you are broken to pieces, you must wield a lock sickle and a sword to fight your way out.
The silent rain ninja troops solemnly continued forward.
Sanshoyu Hanzo stopped.
The boundless killing intent poured forward with the slowly raised head.
With the intermittent light of lightning, he saw a figure in the treetops ahead.
Shimura Danzo!
Three more figures leaped to the treetops that were shorter next to them.
Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya, the three apprentices of the three generations of Hokage.
There are more figures that exude strong chakra fluctuations and leap out one after another.
Then came the near-boundless Konoha ninja who took shape.
"Hoo ......"
Sanshoyu Hanzo breathed a sigh of relief.
All of a sudden, my heart became calm.
He didn't expect to be able to sneak into the periphery of Konoha camp and launch a surprise attack like the night attack on Sand Hide, after all, among Konoha's reconnaissance ninjas, whether it is Hinata, Oil Girl, or Inuzuka, they can easily find the traces of a large stream of rain ninjas.
Then, at this time, use the chains to tear apart this suffocating darkness!
Sanshoyu Hanzo continued to lift his steps and walked forward unwaveringly.
The Rain Ninja Army followed the leader's steps and marched forward again.
Even if there were double the number of Konoha ninjas in front of him, he resolutely refused.
……
Standing on top of the treetops, Shimura Danzo stared coldly at the scene in front of him.
Hanzo, the sansho fish who moved forward in the rain, and the last rain ninja troops led by him, in his eyes, were like turtles in an urn.
As for the tragedy of a small country and the twilight of heroes, in his eyes, it is just a death struggle with the intention of using the mantis arm as a car, and it is worthless except for the doomed death.
Four thousand nine hundred Konoha ninjas fought against two thousand three hundred rain ninjas.
The advantage is mine!
Shimura Danzo looked around at the Konoha ninjas who were forming an orderly engagement formation, full of pride.
Then he glanced at the rear of the rain ninja, which was the direction from which the Western Border Defense Force and the Mobile Force were coming.
Of course, at this time, there was no movement behind the rain ninja.
"Uchiha, Hachiki Sakushige...... Hum! ”
Shimura Danzo's face became even more gloomy at the thought of Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige.
"There are also Mimura Hamaki and Kime Gong Knife who are in cahoots with them, these moths of Konoha are there! Sooner or later, take care of them! ”
Shimura Danzou also didn't care whether the border troops' Mimura Hamaki and Kime Kotobe really colluded with Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hagi Sakushige, and he was especially ruthless in his heart.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
Lightning flickered and roared in the dark and gloomy clouds, like a dragon roaring.
About five kilometers behind the rain ninja, a mobile unit under the command of Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Shuo Shigeru was silently lurking.
Under the cover of a thunderstorm, the two stood on the top of the highest treetop on the top of the mountain, watching the impending battle.
Hachiki Sakushige's expression was solemn, and Uchiha Tokumitsu cursed, constantly cursing the rainstorm.
But neither of them had the slightest idea of immediately joining the battlefield.
The icing on the cake is still charcoal in the snow, and the two of them can naturally carry it.
"Hero ......"
With infinite emotion and admiration, Qimu Shuomao spat out two words from his mouth
"Huh?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu looked over a little puzzled.
"Sanshoyu Hanzo, it really deserves the name of a demigod......" Hachiki Shuomao wiped his face casually, wiping the rain off his face, "It's a pity ......"
"It's a pity that he's the rain shinobi, and he's still the leader of the rain ninja......" Uchiha Tokuko Hachiki Sakushige added after saying something he couldn't say.
"yes......"
Hachiki Shuomao stared at the imminent battlefield in front of him, and said in a daze, "It turns out that this is the hero of the Land of Rain, this is the legendary demigod ......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu glanced at Hachiki Sakumo again, and then at the mobile unit that was silently lurking under the tree, and didn't say a word.
The Rain Ninja Army and the Konoha Ninja Army are also getting closer and closer.
"Kill!"
Without an exciting pre-war declaration, Sanshoyu Hanzo ripped off the gas mask on his face and used the Water Instant Technique to kill the Konoha ninja who were waiting for him.
