"Report, an unknown entity is approaching."
The Konoha ninja who was observing the surroundings with a telescope suddenly saw a black shadow flash by and hurriedly alerted others.
The other ninja in charge of observation quickly adjusted the angle, trying to see clearly what the unknown existence his companion was talking about was, whether it was an enemy or an animal that had accidentally strayed in.
However, the ninja in charge of observation quickly put down the telescope. There was no need to look anymore because the enemy had already rushed in front of them.
A girl with blue chakra all over her body rushed towards the watchtower.
Boom!
!
The powerful chakra burst out from behind the girl, directly destroying the wooden pillars used to bear the weight of the sentry tower, causing the sentry tower to collapse directly.
whoosh!
The three Konoha ninjas on duty at the watchtower jumped out one after another and attacked the girl with kunai in hand.
However, what the three did not expect was that the girl's arms suddenly turned into huge chakra cat claws composed of a large amount of red chakra, which not only easily blocked the attacks of the three people, but also directly knocked the three people away.
The other ninjas in the sentry post were instantly frightened. This evil force was the tailed beast!
"Run! That's the Jinchuriki from the Cloud Ninja. Go and inform Lord Shikaku that the Jinchuriki of the Cloud Ninja has arrived at the battlefield." The ninja squad leader in charge of the sentry gave the order directly.
Facing the Jinchūriki and the possible Kumogakure ninja hiding in the dark, the sentry's power is undoubtedly not enough. It is better to choose to escape and pass on the information. This place is not far from Konoha's camp.
Faced with the fleeing Konoha ninjas, Yubokuto dispersed his tailed beast-transformed arms and summoned the Hidden Cloud Army behind him.
"Go, don't let them get away and pass the information on." A Cloud Ninja Jonin shouted hurriedly.
Hearing what the Cloud Ninja said, the Konoha ninjas couldn't help but run faster, but the Cloud Ninjas who were chasing them were not pushovers either, they were good at Ninja Taijutsu and were very fast.
Seeing the approaching Cloud Ninja, the ninja squad leader in charge of the sentry gritted his teeth and shouted, "Except for Kengo, everyone else stop and help me deal with the Cloud Ninja."
Kengo is a ninja who specializes in delivering intelligence. He is the fastest among them and has the greatest hope of delivering the intelligence.
The current situation is very bad. If we keep running away, we might all die in the pursuit of the Cloud Ninjas, and the information will not be successfully sent out.
So the ninja squad leader immediately prepared to use his life and the lives of his other three subordinates to stop the Cloud Ninjas so that the information could be successfully sent out.
After hearing the squad leader's order, the other three ninjas turned around decisively, drew their weapons and started fighting with the Cloud Ninjas.
Kengo ran desperately without looking back. It was not because he was ruthless, cold-blooded or cowardly, but because he could not let down the time his teammates had bought for him with their lives. Even looking back would be a huge waste.
Faced with dozens of well-prepared Cloud Ninjas, the four Konoha Ninjas quickly fell into a disadvantage and their lives were in danger.
The ninja squad leader glanced behind him and could no longer see Kengo. It was impossible for the Cloud Ninja to catch up with him.
"Although I am dead, you will pay the price for your actions. Konoha will defeat the Cloud Ninja." The ninja squad leader laughed.
However, the Cloud Ninja Jonin showed a strange smile and said: "You really think we can't stop a mere five of you."
"Yoshino, stop talking and kill them quickly." Yukito said with a frown when he saw Yoshino pretending in front of the Konoha ninja.
Although the other party was soon killed, Yukito still felt that Yoshino was doing something wrong. What if there were some Konoha ninjas hiding here? Wouldn't their carefully laid plan fail because of Yoshino's talkativeness
Although there are many rough and muscular people in the Hidden Cloud Village, there are also wise people who know that it is unrealistic to rely on a small number of ninjas to use the clone technique to delay Konoha's main force.
According to the plan of the Cloud Ninja, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, played by a wooden man, will appear on the battlefield of the Land of Hot Springs and make a massive move, giving Konoha the illusion that the Cloud Ninja is preparing for a big fight in the Land of Hot Springs.
This attack was a performance by the Cloud Ninja to trick Konoha. On the surface, it seemed that the Konoha ninjas were united and struggled to send out a member to send out information, but in fact it was the result of their arrangement.
What the Cloud Ninja wants is for Konoha to know that the wooden men have arrived at the battlefield and that the Cloud Ninja has already sent the Jinchuriki into the battlefield of the Land of Hot Springs.
Because the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yubokuto, is still young, and the Two-Tails itself is not that strong among the tailed beasts, and is somewhat lacking in strength, even if he joins the large force, he cannot become a decisive force like Killer Bee.
Letting the wooden men follow the main force cannot be said to be useless. It can only be said to be useful, but not completely useful.
But when Yukito takes action on the battlefield of Yukōkuni, the effect is different.
Jinchūriki is a strategic weapon in the ninja world and generally does not appear easily. Once he appears, it basically means that the ninja village will go all out and attack with all its might.
Even if the wooden man does not take action, releasing the Tailed Beast Ball will also be a huge deterrent.
"Why be so cautious? They are already dead anyway." Yoshino killed a Konoha ninja who was being besieged, and then said casually.
He felt that Yu Mu Ren was making a big deal out of nothing. Dead people can't talk, so what would happen even if he told him the plan directly
Yoshino has always been somewhat unhappy about the fact that the Fourth Raikage directly made the thirteen-year-old Yukito a jonin. He fought diligently for the Hidden Cloud Village for more than twenty years before being promoted to a jonin.
And Yukito, relying on the power and identity of the tailed beast, was promoted to Jonin at the age of thirteen. It should be noted that Yukito did not even participate in the Third Ninja World War.
"I will report this matter to the Yondaime." Seeing that Yoshino had no intention of repenting, even Yukito frowned.
"Whatever you want." Yoshino's face darkened when he heard that Yukito was going to complain. The iron fist of the Raikage was not something that ordinary people could withstand, but Yoshino did not want to bow his head in front of the junior Yukito, so he remained tough and did not apologize or admit his mistakes for his behavior.
"Yoshino-sama, Yukito-sama has wiped out all the Konoha ninja present, except for the one who went to report the intelligence," Arikumo-shinobi reported.
"Now that it's done, let's leave quickly. We've done enough. Doing more will only seem deliberate." The wooden man ordered.
Although he had just had a minor disagreement with Yukito, Yoshino knew clearly what was important and what was not, and did not raise any objections.
If it was just a boast, the Fourth Raikage would at most glare at him or give him a punch. However, if the plan failed due to internal strife during the war, the Fourth Raikage would probably tear him apart alive.
… … … … … …
After receiving the news that the sentry post was attacked by a Jinchuriki, Minato quickly led a team himself and went to the attacked sentry post with Nara Shikaku.
Minato stood in front of the ruins of the collapsed sentry tower, lost in thought, and then said: "This powerful and violent chakra is definitely the chakra of the tailed beast."
Although Minato is not a professional perception ninja, his perception ability is very outstanding.
ps: Minato has shown his perception ability in many scenes. I think this may be one of the reasons why his Flying Thunder God is so powerful.
There are differences between chakras. Most ordinary people's chakras have no qualitative difference, only quantitative difference.
In addition to ordinary chakra, there are other special chakras, namely the chakra of the tailed beasts and the fairy chakra.
Both types of chakra have stronger power than ordinary chakra.
Because Kushina is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Minato is familiar with the chakra of the tailed beasts.
The chakra of the nine tailed beasts may differ slightly, but they are generally the same.
"I didn't expect that the Cloud Ninja has also learned to use this kind of strategy. It's hard to judge now." Nara Shikaku fell into deep thought.
Before, he had guessed that the Sheep Ninja would attack from the Land of Fields, and that the Cloud Ninja would probably attack from the Land of Fields or the Land of Grass.
However, the Cloud Ninja has already dispatched the Jinchuriki to the battlefield in the Land of Hot Springs. If they want to attack Konoha, there is no reason for them to leave such a strategic weapon as the Jinchuriki unused.
And isn't this a bit too coincidental? He just guessed that the Kumogakure might be trying to make a feint to the east and attack the west, and suddenly a Jinchūriki appeared here and attacked the sentry. It was a bit too abrupt.
"Could it be that the Kumo Ninja did this on purpose to make me think that their main force was somewhere else, causing the fighting force of the Kingdom of Hot Springs to be diverted so that they could launch a large-scale attack?" Nara Shikaku guessed.
“Shikaku, you don’t have to worry about this. They sent out the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and I will personally lead a team to find their camp tomorrow.
Besides, if they really want to attack Konoha from the Land of Grass or the Land of Fields, it's OK, because we have our trump card there." Minato said with a relaxed smile.
Minato is confident of winning this war against the Hidden Cloud Village.
There are too many masters in Konoha, such as the Third Hokage Tsunade, Orochimaru, Uchiha Fugaku, and top masters like Nagase who can easily suppress the tailed beasts.
The Hidden Cloud Village will fight them with its head
Minato even felt that except for the number of middle-level ninjas in Konoha, which was not as high as before the Third Ninja World War, the overall strength of Konoha had surpassed that of Konoha before the Third Ninja World War.
Before the Third Ninja World War, Konoha was able to defeat four nations at once and become the victorious country.
Now facing a Konoha that is stronger than that period, how could Kumogakure possibly defeat Konoha
"Nagazawa Fusa? Indeed, he is a person who can make people feel at ease." Shikaku nodded after hearing Minato's words.
Since Nagase suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Shikaku still couldn't get used to the fact that Konoha suddenly had a top-level strongman.
If Nagase is guarding, it won't matter even if the Cloud Ninjas raid from the Land of Rice.
After all, the reason why Nagase only brought a small number of ninjas was because the strength of Nagase alone exceeded that of the so-called ninja troops.
The next day.
Minato personally led a ten-man elite force into the border of the Land of Hot Springs, with a senior ninja from the Hyuga family in the team.
Relying on the clairvoyant ability of the Hyuga family's Byakugan and Minato's excellent perception, they successfully found a team of twenty people lurking in the forest.
Rest! Rest! Rest!
Without any unnecessary nonsense, three Flying Thunder God Kunai instantly appeared in Minato's hands and he attacked the Cloud Ninja Team directly.
Hearing the sound of the kunai breaking through the air, the members of the Cloud Ninja Team instantly dispersed and dodged the kunai's attack. Except for one ninja who reacted too slowly and was stabbed, the rest of them dodged.
But Minato didn't specifically aim at the Kumogakure's body, he was aiming at the side of the Kumogakure's body.
"There is an enemy attack from the south, everyone be careful." Yu shouted. This was the team he led. Everyone in the team was a strong Chunin. They were one of the strongest teams of Cloud Ninja in the Land of Hot Springs.
But before the Cloud Ninjas could react, a golden figure suddenly appeared among the Cloud Ninjas.
In Minato's hand was the Rasengan that he had prepared before using Flying Thunder God, and he shot it directly at the Cloud Ninja next to his Flying Thunder God Kunai.
The essence of Rasengan is a compressed and constantly rotating chakra ball. It is a ninjutsu created by Minato with inspiration from the Tailed Beast Ball.
So even though the Rasengan is only slightly bigger than the palm of your hand, its power is extraordinary and has great destructive capability.
Boom!
!
The compressed chakra ball that kept rotating in different directions exploded on the Cloud Ninja's body. The powerful force pierced through the Cloud Ninja's abdomen, destroying all his internal organs, causing the attacked Cloud Ninja to fall to the ground and die instantly.
"It's the golden flash of the Yondaime Hokage. Everyone, be careful with the kunai he throws. He may teleport to the location where he throws the kunai at any time." Yu reminded his men.
Minato shined on the battlefield, and many Kumogakure ninjas served as stepping stones for him, including the ab combination.
When the Third Ninja World War just started, the new generation of AB combination of Kumogakure emerged, defeated a large number of well-known ninja veterans in the ninja world, and became famous.
And at this moment, Minato achieved a record of tying the score with the AB combination alone, and in an instant all the reputation and prestige accumulated by the AB combination before became a wedding dress for Minato.
Therefore, the Cloud Ninjas conducted a detailed study on Minato, and Minato's specialty ninjutsu, the Flying Thunder God Technique, was naturally also a key research target.
However, because Flying Thunder God is too powerful, the more the Cloud Ninja analyzed it, the more they felt that this ninjutsu was ridiculously strong. They could only be careful about the position of the opponent's kunai, and there were not many ways to deal with it.
To deal with a ninja of Minato's extreme speed, you either have to be stronger than him or you die.
After Yu finished speaking, he quickly fired a flare into the sky, then threw out a bunch of square shurikens that had been magnetized by his magnetic escape technique, and controlled those square shurikens to attack Minato.
As the saying goes, soldiers against soldiers, king against king, general against general. He has the highest position and the strongest power here, so naturally he is the one to deal with Minato.
He has to fight even if he can't win. Without him to deal with Minato, I'm afraid all the Cloud Ninjas here will be killed instantly.
"Although he is an enemy, he is also very brave and decisive." Minato said with a smile, then took out ten Flying Thunder God Kunai from his ninja tool bag and shot them at Yu.
