Chapter 108 Offense and Defense Reversal
"How embarrassing, Sarutobi."
Sarutobi lowered his head in embarrassment, but the expression on his face gradually changed from mournful and guilty to solemn and joyful.
It was the expression of meeting an acquaintance, the expression of hope, the expression of relief and worry.
Yes, he is very embarrassed, especially Danzo's gorgeous appearance makes him look disgraced.
But so what?
With Danzo's appearance, Konoha's crisis has passed! !
It was not Jiraiya, but Danzo, who brought the lost heroes of Konoha to save Konoha in danger.
This is better than the script he originally arranged. This is more suitable for Naruto to remember than the scene of him dying with the Raikage who has failed. The will of fire is not to burn life, but to be passed down endlessly.
"I'm really... annoying you all."
Sarutobi whispered, and when he looked up again, he was already in tears.
"I still need you to come forward. I'm really... sorry."
The fourth generation Raikage Ai's face was solemn. He knew many people behind Danzo. They were all famous people in Konoha. When he was young, he even fought against many of them, but because of this Feeling deeply troubled.
"The dead come back to life? Or are they just being mysterious?"
If these people had the strength they had in life...
Raikage murmured, throwing Sarutobi aside and decided to test it out.
His heart was beating, and the thunder snakes all over his body were sizzling.
The next second, he flashed and appeared in front of Tobirama, the second Hokage beside Danzo.
"Dead people, please don't interfere in the affairs of the living - I will send you back to lie down in the coffin!"
"Haha... Is this me the first one to choose? You are really underestimated!" Tobirama gently tossed the rune kunai in his hand and laughed in a low voice.
The lightning-flickering fist penetrated his body. There was no sticky feeling like it penetrated the flesh. There were only splashing water stains and Tobirama's still careless expression.
In slow motion, the kunai was spinning in the air. Ai, who was rushing forward, looked at Tobirama who turned into a pool of liquid and poured in front of the door, his eyes gradually widened.
Water body... Then where is his true body?
He looked sideways and saw a blue figure suddenly appearing next to the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. He picked him up and then disappeared again. When the Raikage rediscovered the opponent's position, he had already caught the pain in the air. Nothing, appeared behind him.
Flying Thunder Magic...
Tobirama smiled lightly, and the space-time kunai with a layer of blue chakra attached to the surface in his hand cut open the thunder escape armor and stabbed the Raikage's brown-black back.
Uh-huh!
The two extremely fast people completed the fight in an instant. Ai frowned and looked particularly gloomy. He turned his head and looked behind him.
"Lord Raikage..."
"It doesn't matter."
The Raikage's broad back had a wound that his thick arms couldn't scratch anyway, but it didn't matter.
What's important is that Tobirama's strength and the opponent's ability to break through the Thunder Armor to directly inflict damage to his physical body all confirm from the side that Konoha's set of resurrecting the dead is by no means a mystery. These Konoha undead they summoned , indeed has most of the strength he had during his lifetime!
He exhaled deeply.
matter……
Trouble.
…
Still a familiar opponent, still being suppressed unilaterally.
The perspective switched to a camp in Konoha. Asuma picked up the chakra knife that fell on the ground and stood up again.
The two Yumu people in front of them have entered the state of half-tailed beast.
The opponent has entered a stage that is difficult for Asma to cope with, and his speed and strength have increased to a greater extent. Compared with before, Asma, even if he has fully recovered to his peak combat power a month ago, is still unable to fight with such an opponent. The enemy contends.
Even if he didn't die in the fierce attack of the opponent, it was entirely because there was a special helper helping him.
"Wood Release: The Technique of Silent Killing and Binding!"
The snaking wooden stakes temporarily bound the teak man's body.
"Asuma-senpai!" the young man yelled with difficulty.
"Well done, Yamato!" Asuma praised, then formed a seal with his hands.
"Wind Escape: Wind and Dust Technique!" He spat out wind containing countless dust and sand from his mouth. As soon as the teak man got rid of the shackles of the wooden stake, his perspective fell into a blur.
Asuma then wielded his chakra knife and fought in close combat.
The Yuzuki man snorted coldly. Although she was in poor condition, her speed, strength, endurance and recovery ability as a half-tailed beast had reached a level far beyond what ordinary people could understand. She was not afraid of any close attacks.
The chakra knives and claws collided with each other at extremely fast speeds. Although Asuma took advantage of the Yuzuki man's sight being blocked and used many knives on her in vain, he still saw that the wounds he had just caused healed as before in the next second. Extremely helpless.
In this situation, they were obviously unable to defeat her and could only seek to seal her or at least render her temporarily incapacitated.
However, Yamato, the owner of the Wood Release Blood Succession Limit who joined ANBU after the disbandment of the Roots, has performed impressively, but that's all. His Wood Release and the Ninja God Senju Hashirama are obviously There is a huge gap. It is unrealistic to rely solely on him to seal and restrain the teak man in the half-tailed beast state.
It would be great if there is the cooperation of illusion.
Asuma was thinking this in his mind, but in the next second he was accidentally slapped by the Yuzuki man and flew away again, with several bloody wounds on his face.
But this is not the end. On the other side, Yamato, who was trying to assist from the side with Wood Release, was chased by the fireball spit out by Yuzuki. Then she swept her eyes to Asuma. The swift dark blue cat demon grinned and pounced on Asuma.
Just when Asuma was concentrating and alert.
A faint scent of cherry blossoms came.
Then a figure that Asuma could never imagine appeared beside him.
"Illusion·Absolute Lotus."
In an instant, Yuzuki, who was completely unprepared, stopped his action.
The figure turned his head to look at Asuma, took two steps closer, and then touched the wound on Asuma's face with some heartache.
"...You are disfigured."
Asuma looked at the other's broken but still beautiful face.
A big man was choked up and couldn't speak.
...
Compared with other colleagues in Konoha, Uzuki Yugao's situation is still good.
This area has the most Konoha ninjas gathered around it, and it is the only side that has the advantage in the many battlefields of fighting with the Kumogakure ninjas.
The Nara clan, Yamanaka clan, Akimichi clan, Aburame clan, Inuzuka clan, Shimura clan, and the few Senju clan masters who came from the Fire Country Daimyo's mansion to support, who are still in Konoha, are all fighting with Kumogakure on this battlefield.
Yes, the Senju clan of the forest, which is the counterpart of the Uchiha clan in the original work and founded the Konoha Ninja Village, did not disappear. After all, such a large clan that has experienced two Hokages in office, no matter how warlike, it is impossible for all members to die in battle.
Instead, it was divided into two parts. One part of its clan moved to the Fire Country Daimyo earlier, and the rest gradually intermarried with other ninja clans or civilians in Konoha, and no longer named Senju, such as Tsunade, Nawaki, etc.
The Senju tribe that moved to the Land of Fire no longer had many ninja inheritances, but even so, after learning about Konoha's miserable situation, they still sent several of their own ninjas to support as much as they could.
This is the main battlefield between Konoha and Kumogakure.
The reason why there are not many people on the side of the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is that the main force of Konoha's resistance is not placed there, and Sarutobi Hiruzen himself is more like a bait to attract the main force of Kumogakure to attack, creating opportunities for the gradual counterattack here.
This battle plan was also approved by Sarutobi Hiruzen himself.
But even so, it is still an extremely difficult battle.
The head of the Akimichi clan, Akimichi Choza, has fallen in the enemy's siege and is currently receiving emergency treatment. Nara Shikaku, who planned this plan personally, is also scarred and has little chakra left. Now, the only ones still active on the battlefield are the Aburame clan, who mainly control insects to fight and rarely act personally, and ninjas like Uzuki Yugao who mainly rely on physical skills.
"After eliminating the threat here, we must quickly support Lord Hokage!!" Shikaku panted. Sarutobi was the one who was under the greatest pressure on the battlefield. Although he said so, he was even mentally prepared for the Hokage to die in battle.
Like countless of her colleagues in the Anbu, Xiyan was used to fighting in silence. Since she was saved by Kakashi under Samui's sword, she has been particularly open-minded. She regarded it as a life saved. She must use this life to contribute her strength to Konoha through the difficulties.
Now her opponent is no longer a kendo master like Samui, but the Hidden Cloud Village has never lacked people who are good at swordsmanship. Konoha's swordsmanship and the Hidden Cloud Village swordsmanship have completely different characteristics. The former emphasizes precision and strives to win with one strike, while the latter emphasizes changes and is always continuous.
Xiyan's swordsmanship level, which has not been improved for many years, has grown rapidly in such fierce fighting.
"If there is a chance to fight again in the future, I will definitely defeat you..."
Two figures flashed in her mind.
Samui, who almost killed her.
And Xi Yan's boyfriend, Moonlight Gale.
After finally killing an opponent, another Kumogakure ninja drew his sword and slashed him down. Xi Yan hadn't even had time to catch her breath before she was caught in a fierce battle again.
For some reason, the enemies in front of her were still increasing in number.
"They are coming to help, everyone pay attention." Shikaku reminded loudly.
The Yamanaka clan ninja on the side opened his eyes, turned his head and looked in a certain direction, his face was particularly ugly: "Another small group of people is approaching."
"Is it Konoha's reinforcements?"
The Yamanaka clan ninja looked at him quietly: "How can there be only this group of reinforcements."
"That's right." Shikaku sighed, his head was in a mess, and he almost didn't understand this.
He didn't remind everyone of the bad news again.
Instead, he looked left and right, and finally saw Xi Yan kill another enemy. His eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to help her put out the fire, and whispered: "There are another group of guys from Kumogakure, you come with me to intercept them."
"Okay." Xi Yan nodded.
The Nara clan is suitable for ambushes, but Shikaku has insufficient chakra and lacks the ability to strangle. Once the enemy is controlled, a sword master like Xi Yan will be needed to quickly kill the enemy.
Arriving at the predetermined ruins, Shikaku and Xi Yan hid in the dark, and the shadow began to extend. When the footsteps gradually approached, Shikaku suddenly shouted:
"Catch them, now!"
The first few Kumogakure ninjas who had no idea what was happening suddenly found that they could not move.
The other Kumogakure ninjas who were not hit saw Xi Yan suddenly jump out, and hurriedly helped their companions to block her blade.
Xi Yan put her index finger and middle finger together:
"Konoha style swordsmanship·Three-day moon dance!"
"Konoha style swordsmanship·Three-day moon dance!"
Two voices, one male and one female, sounded almost at the same time.
Then three more figures fell from the sky, and together with the three Uzuki Xi Yan, they slashed at different enemies.
After killing all the enemies in front of them.
Looking at the figure in front of her, Xi Yan almost didn't even hold the knife tightly.
"What a great improvement." Moonlight Gale touched Xi Yan's hair and said with a smile.
Xiyan threw herself into her boyfriend's arms, and burst into tears for a while.
"Ahem..." Shikaku patted the wall to remind him that the occasion was inappropriate. He looked at the broken Moonlight Gale with a hesitant expression, "You are...what's wrong?"
Moonlight Gale coughed lightly and said solemnly: "The Second Generation Tobirama asked me to inform you that you don't have to support the Third Generation Hokage. Make a plan and go all out...try to keep all the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village here!"
"Now...the offense and defense are reversed!"
Returning to the previous battlefield, Shikaku suddenly realized what Gale meant by "attack and defense reversal".
The Hyuga clan, the Hyuga clan leader Hyuga Hiashi who died at Ning Qi's hands, and many elite ninjas of the Hyuga clan that he had never seen before.
The ancestors of the Inuzuka clan.
The ancestors of the Akimichi clan.
And their Nara clan and the Yamanaka clan.
And even...
The Uchiha clan.
…
From the moment Killer Bee officially ignored Ai’s instructions and entered the tailed beast transformation, Kai with only the Seven Gates could not defeat the opponent.
Due to the match agreement with Kakashi, Kai did not step into the last gate of the Eight Gates, and the glory of the Death Gate could not bloom after all.
With the end of the Seven Gates time, Kai, who had returned to his normal state, and Kakashi entered the situation of back-to-back response to the siege of Kumogakure again. Kakashi whispered at this time:
"I won this time."
"The score is now 31:31."
Kai did not refute. Kakashi withstood the siege, but he could not defeat Killer Bee with only the Seven Gates, and the victory and defeat of both sides was naturally determined.
"I underestimated this so-called perfect Jinchūriki." Kai sighed. If he had not taken the initiative to end the Eight Gates, he would not even have the strength to stand now.
"It's okay, let's see who can escape faster now." Kakashi had no regrets. It was good to be able to delay for so long to achieve this level.
"Okay! I will definitely beat you this time."
"That's not certain."
In the distance, Kirabi shook his head silently when he saw this scene.
They didn't seem to take him seriously.
"What two bastards... Damn it."
At this moment, a colorful firework suddenly exploded from the sky, and at the same time, almost all the Kumogakure ninjas on this land looked up at the same time.
Kirabi's face was also particularly puzzled.
This was the emergency call for help from Raikage-sama.
But... why?
He didn't understand.
How could Konoha still have someone who could keep his brother?
Could it be that Konoha's reinforcements have arrived?
Kirabi cursed, but his concern for his brother's situation still overshadowed his desire to defeat these two bastards. He asked someone to pick up the "thunder" arm that Kakashi had thrown on the ground because he didn't want to delay the battle, and then hurriedly led people to the place where the fireworks were launched.
Leaving Akai and Kakashi staring at each other in the dense forest.
"What should we do?"
"Let's each win one game?"
