Leaf Ninja Life

Chapter 246 Changes and Targeting

After the battle here, the waves on the sea have calmed down.

Xiuyi put away Bai Jue's body, and at the same time sank the bodies of many Kirigakure ninjas into the sea, and returned to the shore in a flash to join his troops.

At this time, the mist replenished by the loss of Chakra had been blown away by the sea breeze, and Xiu Yiying's avatar brought Ishikawa Shu and the three into the battlefield.

Because they advanced slowly, they only dealt with a few sporadic enemies on the periphery. Now the three of them were shocked when they saw the scene of corpses strewn all over the battlefield.

The corpses of ninjas who died in battle were everywhere on the grass. Kirigakure had a large proportion, and Konoha also had a lot of them. Even though they had killed many people, they still felt chills under the impact of such a large number.

"Is this... a real war?"

Shi Chuanshu felt a little nauseated, and looked around involuntarily, which was a subconscious expression of his nervousness.

Asma didn't speak, he seemed to understand Sandai Hokage's thoughts, but he also hated his own powerlessness.

A large number of ninjas in the village died in front of the battle, but they couldn't help much, and it was uncomfortable for anyone to see.

"Yes, this is a cruel war. If you don't make up your mind, then a little carelessness may kill your teammates."

Xiuyi feels that he is still a spiritual mentor, and it seems that he can ask the third generation for an extra salary when he goes back. compatriots."

Although the battlefield is cold and ruthless, it is a good place to sharpen ninjas. Pulling up the seedlings in the village for a circle is more useful than dry saliva from the teacher in the ninja school.

"Swipe, brush..."

Several Konoha squads arrived one after another, and the Konoha ninjas who had been besieged before also gathered together.

"It's almost over this time, but fortunately you came in time, Shuichi-kun." Mimura Hamoki let out a long sigh of relief.

It's really not easy for him as a commander. I don't know how many times he was in a desperate situation after the start of the Ninja World War, and he always survived in an emergency every time. It can be seen that he is really lucky.

"boom!"

Xiuyi's body also came back at this time, and just about to speak, he sensed a few familiar chakras, and it was the three members of the Minato class.

"Sorry, I'm late." Namikaze Minato had a dusty look, and Xiuyi knew that he was a real model worker, and he was the only one in the village who was busy on multiple fronts at the same time.

Kakashi and Rin behind them looked much cleaner. After the Battle of Kannabi Bridge and Kikyo Castle, the frequency of young ninja missions decreased a lot. The appearance of Shuichi made Konoha much easier than in the original book.

In addition to Lin, medical ninjas from multiple teams immediately ran to the surviving Konoha ninjas. Minato, Shuichi and other jounin began to discuss the latest arrangements for the Water Kingdom front.

"From the current situation, the next main opponent of the village is Wuyin Village." Minato explained, "The situation in the country of water is too special. Although the village has been doing infiltration work after the war, the difficulty is obviously higher than other places. ..."

The living habits and appearance of the people in the island countries are different from those on the land. The appearance of a new face will attract attention. It is difficult to avoid the large-scale search of the Kirigakure ninja, let alone mix into the Wuyin Village in the deep mountains.

However, after being attacked this time, Konoha also changed his strategy. Minato continued: "The last time Shuichi-kun mentioned the ocean current, the village organized people to study it together, and asked many experienced fishermen. The offensive line is better understood..."

In the past few months, Konoha Ninja has defended very passively, because the coastline is too long, even if the signal can be transmitted in time, it will take time for the support to arrive, and the strength cannot be concentrated and used.

Now with the help of the "expert group", several key defensive areas have been identified, and the pressure will be much less immediately.

"The village will continue to send more people in the future, and now I will talk about the new defensive arrangement." Minato pointed to a certain place on the map and said, "The Kirigakure ninja is good at water escape, and a few masters can follow various water systems deep into the Fire Country..."

"So this crucial entrance to the sea is in charge of you, Mr. Xiuyi..."

The third Hokage didn't use water escape much, and now it's no problem to say that Shuichi is the number one master of water escape in Konoha Village.

Xiuyi had no objection, he also paid attention to the area Minatoban was in charge of, which was the land bordering the country of Uzumaki, far away from where he was.

"If there is Minato, Lin and Kakashi will be fine, but there is only one thousand days to be a thief, but there is no one to prevent a thief. With the busyness of Minato, sooner or later, there will be time to leave..."

After thinking about it for a long time, there was nothing I could do. I could only rush there as soon as I saw the signal for help, because my task was also very heavy.

...

In the next few days, Konoha quickly completed the defense change on the eastern front. Since this group of troops suffered heavy losses from the siege of Kirigakure, most of them were transferred back to the village to recuperate.

Only a few people remained to form a new team and restart the defensive task with the follow-up army.

Xiuyi is one of several team leaders, and there are more than ten teams under him. His own team is mainly in charge of the key estuary, and everyone is not far from each other. Once there is a signal, the support speed can be much faster than before.

It didn't take long for the village's defensive strategy based on the direction of the seawater to quickly achieve results.

A Konoha ninja carried a telescope and hid in the crevices of the rock formations. This was in the middle of a cliff. Xiuyi specially opened a small passage with the earth tunnel, and only needed to send one person to monitor the entire vast sea.

His main observation direction is the southeast, and the sea water flows from south to north at this time. If Wuyin sends people to come, no accident will definitely take advantage of this.

After several days of continuous observation, there was no result. One day, the tired Konoha Ninja was about to put down the binoculars when a black spot suddenly appeared in his field of vision, which lifted his spirits.

Not long after he retreated, the small boat in the distance had already drifted close to the coastline, and there were ten people faintly visible on it.

They seemed to be looking for a suitable landing place, but they didn't notice that the sea had become unsettled.

Before landing, there was the sound of rushing water behind the boat, and the Kirigakure ninja who noticed the abnormality immediately turned his head, and the ten-meter-high waves rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed, which seemed unnatural at first glance.

"The Technique of Escaping the Great Waterfall by Water!"

"Be careful, get out of the way!"

Many ninjas reacted quickly and left the boat in an instant. Only one or two people were caught in the waves with the boatman.

"Hoo... bang!"

The small wooden boat was thrown away like a toy, and the huge force brought it to hit the uneven rocks under the cliff. After a wave of collision, it directly turned into wood residue, and a few screams could be heard.

"Swipe, brush..."

As soon as the scattered Mist ninjas stood firm on the water, several of them were directly attacked. The rest of them looked up and found that many Konoha ninjas came to them in twos and threes. This is a rare situation in the confrontation between the two sides.

"Damn it, how did it get discovered?"

Captain Kirigakure gritted his teeth and said that the relatively narrow sea area between the country of Uzumaki and Qianfan Island has little space for activities, so it is not surprising that it is blocked so much.

But such a long coastline of the Land of Fire is full of breakthroughs, Konoha ninjas should not be manned enough to deploy defenses, but they can still catch them accurately?

Before he had time to think about this, he immediately wanted to participate in the battle, but was stopped by a figure that appeared in an instant.

"Your opponent is me." Xiu said with a smile.

This time the luck is really good. Judging from the number of enemies, it is Kirigakure's reconnaissance team, who may have been active for a long time in various parts of the country of fire to obtain information.

"This appearance, is the purple aurora Shuichi Takeda?" Captain Kirigakure's heart was cold.

The other party has become very famous in their village recently, and his attention is not lower than that of other top ninja masters. I am afraid that I will not be able to leave today.

"Drink..."

Seeing the other party rushing towards him frantically holding a knife, Xiuyi drew out the dagger and waited there, the two soon began to fight.

"Ding ding ding..."

The two sides swung their knives at an astonishing speed, and the sound of iron objects colliding kept ringing. From the side, it looked like two balls of silver light intertwined.

Xiuyi was a little surprised at the strength of the opponent's saber technique, the slashing that looked like splashing water was very smooth, making it difficult for him to use the explosive escape ninjutsu.

"There's something, this group of Kirigakures is of high quality, it's bloody profitable to detect their whereabouts."

If you let the other party sneak into the Fire Nation, it will definitely bring you a lot of trouble.

Captain Kirigakure's breathing became a little short. This kind of sword technique consumes a lot of energy, but he dared not relax at all. According to the information in the village, Takeda Shuichi's various evasion techniques are of a very high level, and he must not distance himself from the opponent. Opportunity to print.

Seeing that the Konoha ninjas around him had gained the upper hand, Xiuyi didn't intend to delay for too long.

After fighting again, he suddenly used his strength to take two steps back. Seeing that the opponent came up to him in an instant, he immediately controlled Bai Sha to fly out and entangle his hands and feet.

"What's the matter? What is this?"

Seeing that the rhythm of the opponent's sword technique was disrupted, Xiuyi turned around and ran towards him, and Wu Ninja slashed with all his might in desperation, but there was no blood on his shoulder.

Xiu one or two fingers quickly reached the opponent's wrist, blasting off the muscles in his hand, and cut off an arm when the opponent was in unbearable pain. The chakra on the soles of his feet exploded and stabbed forward, easily piercing his heart.

Because I don't know whether Kirigakure will send a large-scale army to attack, so try to choose a chakra-saving style of play, and the defender must be prepared for a long-term fierce battle.

After Xiuyi killed the leader, he helped other teammates clean up all the enemies. The Konoha ninjas quickly disposed of the corpses and battle traces, and they left the sea and returned to the shore to continue their defense.

...

A few months passed unknowingly. After changing the defensive strategy, Konoha's side reported success frequently.

Not only Xiuyi's side intercepted Kirigakure's invasion many times, but other areas have also achieved a lot of victories. Facing the situation of a large number of troops suffering heavy losses, the movement in the country of water has become smaller and smaller recently.

Wuyin Village, this ninja village in the deep mountains is very quiet at this time, or there has never been any lively situation in history. If there is, it is usually a bad thing.

In the central administrative building of the village, a number of high-ranking Kirigakures gathered in the meeting room, including the patriarchs of major families, the village elite Jōnin and many elders.

A long-haired man was at the top, his face was hidden under the bamboo hat, and it was somewhat unclear, it was Mizukage Mizukage himself.

At this time, his assistant had just reported the recent battle situation, and everyone present couldn't sit still when they heard the news of all the failures and battle damage.

"Mizukage-sama, the village can no longer be fought." A jonin immediately said, "We won't gain anything from attacking the Land of Fire, and Konoha's strength is still there, and the opponent is gradually adapting to sea warfare... "

Although he said a lot of earnestly, the atmosphere in the meeting room was very strange.

The patriarchs of the various families have coveted the position of Mizukage for a long time. To put it bluntly, it has nothing to do with them no matter how many ordinary ninjas die. The war with Konoha is actually a process of power struggle in the village.

"Okay, don't say any more." The deep voice of the third Mizukage came out, "I will launch another surprise attack in the near future. I hope you will cooperate well. If everything goes well, the situation will definitely be reversed."

"Can you be more specific? Mizukage-sama." The white-haired head of the Ghost Lantern Clan said, "Our Ghost Lamp Clan has made a lot of sacrifices, but got nothing. It's the loss of the Ninja Sword..."

"After this raid is successful, we can negotiate with Konoha to get all the ninja swords back." Mizukage Mizukage interrupted directly, "Anbu who sneaked into the Land of Fire did not do nothing, but inquired about a lot of valuable information. news.

"For example, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's son, Asma, is fighting at the border. As long as you catch the opponent, it is not difficult to get back the ninja sword, but you ghost lamp clan must contribute. If you succeed, the ninja sword will be handed over to you in the future custody."

"Really?" Hearing this, the head of the Ghost Lantern clan was moved, while the expressions of the other clans changed slightly, and many people glanced back and forth, as if they were discussing something.

"But since the Third Hokage is so reassuring, there must be a master beside Asma, right?" Someone asked aloud.

Mizukage Mizukage directly admitted, "That's right, he is in Takeda Shuichi's team. Instead, I plan to take advantage of this and try to get rid of this genius Konoha."

"This..." Many people frowned. They felt that the plan was unreliable. That kind of master with both speed and ninjutsu was so easy to solve. The opponent ran behind Asma's back and probably couldn't catch up with them.

"Don't worry, the situation is different this time, because in the same team there are two young boys from Purple Aurora, which means that he has to protect three people at the same time, and I have also arranged for his ninjutsu characteristics..."

After hearing this, many high-level Kirigakures felt that there was a small chance to kill Takeda Shuichi. Protection operations were far more difficult than offenses, and the opponent's speed advantage would be greatly limited.

"Okay, our Ghost Lantern Clan will send out good players." The Ghost Lamp patriarch finally agreed.

Most of the manpower is still under the command of the third generation of Mizukage. With the flexibility of his family's hydration secret technique, at least the safety of this operation can be guaranteed. If there is an accident, they will also be the fastest to jump into the sea.

"The attack time is still uncertain, please be ready at any time, and I will notify you immediately when the time comes."

Seeing that Mizukage Mizukage did not speak any more, everyone present had different thoughts. It seems that Mizukage-sama has become a little strange recently. Could it be that they are pressing too hard?
