Juggernaut of the Moonlight Family

Chapter 380 Shadow Clone Technique

Although the Shadow Clone Jutsu does seem to be a "bad" ninjutsu, it has spread throughout the entire ninja world in just a dozen years since it was developed by Senju Tobirama.

I don’t know if the secret work of Konoha, the strongest in the ninja world, is done by a group of dogs.

No, if you really say that, the Inuzuka clan will definitely protest strongly. After all, the secrets of the dog-raising clan have always been well protected and have not been leaked for hundreds of years.

However, although the shadow clone technique has spread throughout the entire ninja world, as a B-level advanced ninjutsu, there are actually not many people who can come into contact with and learn this ninjutsu.

The distribution of the number of upper, middle and lower ninjas in the ninja world is in line with the pyramid structure, and the number of lower ninjas at the bottom can directly occupy two-thirds or even more of the pyramid.

The reason why Konoha is able to firmly hold the top spot in the five hidden villages despite the fact that the number of ninjas is not as good as that of Yanyin is that it relies on the number of Chunin "stable production" by many families of all sizes.

Take the Moonlight Clan as an example, even if it has already declined, if it weren’t for the appearance of Yueguanglan, a traverser, at most they could only have one special Jonin, but they could still “contribute” five Chunin to Konoha.

Even such a small declining family can provide so many Chunin, Uchiha, Hinata, Inoka Butterfly, Sarutobi, and Shimura, it is conceivable how much these nine big clans can contribute to Chunin.

Moreover, apart from Sarutobi who is playing with fire and Shimura who is playing with wind, these big families also have blood succession boundaries and secret techniques. can play a greater role.

But even so, among the tens of thousands of ninjas in Konoha, the number of genin exceeds seven thousand, and not all of the remaining chunin have mastered the shadow clone technique.

Therefore, in the same way as others, the Konoha ninjas who were present at the scene thought for a while, how could they still not understand the reason why Namakaze Minato deliberately pointed out the shadow clone technique.

. . .

"There are almost two thousand ninjas under Loess, and the number of ninjas who can master the shadow clone technique is only six hundred at most."

Seeing that everyone already understood what he wanted to express, Minato Namikaze continued to speak.

"It's impossible for Huang Tu to keep all the upper ninjas and middle ninjas in Kikyo Mountain. No matter how aggressive he is, he should keep two hundred. Otherwise, the lower ninjas without the leadership of the middle ninjas will easily go wrong."

The combat effectiveness of an army involves many aspects, but commanders, especially grassroots and middle-level commanders, are indispensable.

This point becomes clear just by looking at how embarrassed the Soviet army was at the beginning of the Soviet-German war after experiencing the loving father Daqingxi.

Therefore, even if Huang Tu was only trying to lure them away from Kikyo City, he didn't dare to withdraw too much. It was already the limit to keep four hundred Chunin and Jonin.

"Four hundred chunin and jounin may seem like a small number, but they are enough to destroy hidden villages like Yugakure and Kusagakure in one battle."

Seemingly seeing a group of jounin look relaxed when they heard that Iwagakure left only [-] ninjas to sneak attack on Platycodon Castle. Hatake Sakumo glanced at them with a bit of dissatisfaction and then sighed. warned.

Everyone couldn't help but feel shocked when they heard this.

Obviously, they also know that Hatake Sakumo is not alarmist.

It's just because they have experienced "a battle of thousands of people" before, they couldn't turn the corner for a moment.

. . .

When Hatake Sakumo quickly mobilized four hundred chunin and jounin, and ordered Akimichi Choichi to lead these people back to support Platycodon City, Kakashi and Obito, who had never gained anything in Platycodon Mountain, finally arrived. Where the flare went up.

Even before splitting up, Minato Namikaze ordered them to stay away as soon as possible after the signal flare was raised, and to protect their own safety.

But the two little guys, who were eager to make meritorious service and were also worried about the safety of their companions, did not follow the order when the signal flare went up, and instead began to rush towards the accident place at full speed.

However, because they were too far apart and not familiar with Platycodon Mountain, by the time the two arrived, everything was already over.

"Kakashi, it's here, right?"

Obito, who arrived first, originally thought he was looking in the wrong place, but just when he wanted to search around, Kakashi's appearance gave him confidence.

"It can't be wrong, that's it."

Compared with Obito who mainly relied on intuition, Kakashi nodded affirmatively after checking the surrounding situation in detail.

"Although someone destroyed the traces as much as possible before leaving, the traces on these big trees are still new."

Kakashi pointed to the mark on the big tree that was obviously caused by being shot by a shuriken, and said to Obito.

"Also here, the other party just hastily covered it up. The blood stains underneath are enough to prove that there must have been a battle here just now, and the other party moved in a hurry and retreated hastily."

"Is it Lin? Or Minato-sensei?"

When Obito heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he almost grabbed Kakashi's neck and asked.

"Rin first, and then Minato-sensei."

Kakashi knocked his hand away dissatisfied, glanced at him and replied.

"The signal flare must have been used by Lin. After seeing the signal flare, Minato-sensei came immediately, and then fought with the ninja from Iwain."

"How did you know?"

Obito was reminded of bad memories by his eyes, and asked with a bit of rebelliousness, poking his neck.

But his questioning was met with a look from Kakashi as if he was looking at a fool.

"If Minato-sensei discovered the Iwagakure ninja first, do you think the teacher would specifically release a flare to notify us?"

When Obito heard this, his face suddenly showed a bit of embarrassment.

"Hmph, maybe the teacher released the flare to notify us to retreat?"

However, he was not willing to just admit that he was a fool's Obito, so he purposely snorted angrily and forced himself to argue.

It's just that he himself seemed to feel a little unreasonable, so his voice was three points lower than before unconsciously.

"Ha ha."

And Kakashi didn't continue to argue with him, but he let out a sneer, which made Obito clenched his fists instantly, his whole face turned red, with a look of rage, as if he wanted to fight against Kaka immediately. Xi received a punch in the face.

"However, I'm a little worried about Lin."

After looking down at the surroundings again, the sneer in Kakashi's eyes was replaced by worry.

"What's wrong Lynn?"

After hearing this, Obito immediately ignored the anger in his heart and looked at Kakashi nervously.

"If we really encountered the Iwagakure ninja, after Minato-sensei rescued Lin, he should have sent her to us to take care of her nearby, and then went to inform my father that they were returning, but the teacher did not notify us at all, but directly took her with us. Lin left, it is very likely that Lin was seriously injured and needs to be sent back to the hospital for treatment immediately."

For Minato, Kakashi obviously trusts him very much, thinking that he will definitely be able to save Nohara Rin.

"Seriously injured?!"

But in Obito's mind, there were only two words echoing at this time.

"No, no way..."

Then he murmured unconsciously, turned around and ran towards Platycodon City.
