Chapter 171 Platycodon Mountain, The Upcoming Decisive Battle.
Three days later, the battlefield of Platycodon Mountain.
Konoha and Sunagakure seemed to have a tacit understanding;
Almost all the combat forces at the border were concentrated on Platycodon Mountain.
After three years, even though the number of ninjas continues to deplete;
But Konoha still has a steady stream of reinforcements from the rear, as well as the presence of medical ninjas;
It can maintain the number of frontline ninja troops at around four thousand.
On the other hand, Sunagakure’s side;
From the very beginning, nearly all the eight thousand ninjas in the village were overwhelmed;
As of now, there are less than 5,000 ninjas left.
Due to the lack of medical ninjas;
Many injured Sand Shinobi died after retreating from the battlefield because their injuries were not treated in time.
Sunagakure is located in a desert and has few resources;
It greatly limits the number of ninjas that a village can train.
Compared with Konoha's nearly 20,000 ninjas, the gap is too obvious.
If it weren't for the other three major ninja villages, one after another, besieging Konoha;
This war initiated by Sunagakure should have ended long ago with Sunagakure's disastrous defeat.
Inside the central tent;
Orochimaru was surrounded by evil aura and sat at the top with a cold expression.
Tsunade, Namikaze Minato and other Jōnin are arranged on both sides below.
Orochimaru looked around at everyone and spoke in his hoarse and unique voice:
“You have all seen the information;
Sunagakure now made a desperate move to launch a final attack. "
"Whether the three-year war with Sunagakure can end depends on the outcome of this battle."
Tsunade, Namikaze Minato and others all have extremely serious expressions.
Even for powerful ninjas like them;
Three years of non-stop fighting also made them feel mentally and physically exhausted;
He hoped that the war would end soon and he could return to Konoha to rest.
"Orochimaru!"
"I will do my best to treat the wounded who have returned from the battlefield so that they can return to the battlefield as soon as possible."
Tsunade's eyes were firm, even after he had exhausted all his Chakra;
Also try to Summoning as many Katsuyu as possible to heal Konoha Shinobi.
She is now extremely familiar with the poison prepared by Granny Chiyo;
Even if the opponent uses new poison every time on the battlefield;
She was also able to crack it in a short time and develop an antidote.
Orochimaru nodded:
Then he looked at the crest of the wave, Minato, with a strange look in his eyes.
He didn't expect his old friend who was extremely obscene and immoral;
The disciples he accepted when he was young will grow to where he is now.
Not only can you learn the Flying Thunder God Technique that no one has learned since Second Hokage;
He can also develop an A-level ninjutsu that perfectly matches him - Rasengan.
At such a young age, he already possesses Kage-level strength, and he is also a strong presence in Kage-level.
If Namikaze Minato hadn't been able to hold back Chiyo and Ebina every time, these two old Kage-level powerhouses;
Their Konoha side will have a greater disadvantage in terms of top combat power.
Although Orochimaru is powerful, he can only deal with Daikazekage Rasa and Hayakura at the same time;
Any more and he would be in danger himself.
As for the other party’s One Tail Jinchūriki blessing;
Now he is extremely old and unable to suppress the tailed beast within him.
At the beginning, he was sent to fight on the battlefield by Luo Sha;
But after One Tail came out, he did not attack the Konoha Shinobi, but instead singled out their Sunagakure for attack;
Sunagakure was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.
As a result, Luo Sha later did not dare to let Fenfu go to the battlefield again.
Namikaze Minato couldn't help but feel doubtful when he saw Orochimaru keeping his eyes on him;
Immediately, a gentle smile appeared that gave people an inexplicable sense of trust.
"Orochimaru-senpai!"
"I will pin Chiyo and Ebina to death, please don't worry!"
Infected by this sunny smile, Orochimaru couldn't help but feel in a trance.
‘What an incredible boy. ’
Orochimaru seemed to be thinking of his long-dead disciple-Senju Nawaki.
'That boy, if he is still alive...'
No more thought;
It was because he witnessed Nawaki's death that he truly realized how fragile life is;
Only then will he choose to embark on the path of pursuing eternal life regardless of everything.
Orochimaru looked majestic, exuding a powerful aura as a commander, and ordered:
"Just make arrangements according to the combat deployment just discussed!"
"In this battle, we must defeat all the invading ninjas from Sunagakure!"
"yes!"
Tsunade, Namikaze Minato and others all responded in silence.
I felt uneasy and hesitant in my heart;
But more importantly, it was the fighting spirit to defend Konoha and end the battle as soon as possible.
Platycodon Mountain is just a low barren mountain;
But the mountain range stretches for nearly a thousand meters, directly between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire;
There is flat ground on both sides.
Mount Kikyo has always been under Konoha's control;
With years of hard work;
Numerous traps and garrison fortresses have been deployed throughout the mountains.
now;
Uchiha Feng took Ito and Akiyama on a patrol near the mountains.
Since this final battle is about to begin;
They Genin were never forced to go out and hunt Sand Shinobi;
on the contrary;
The supplies that originally needed to be exchanged for heads were now fully provided to them.
Three days ago, they followed the large army and came to Platycodon Mountain.
"Fine-kun, do you think we can survive this war?"
Ito and Akiyama walked side by side behind Uchiha Feng, their voices anxious and confused.
As a Genin, although I don’t know the overall situation on the battlefield;
But at least he survived the war for three years, and he was aware of the coming war.
Akiyama just held Ito's right hand and expressed gentle relief:
"Don't worry, I will always be by your side to protect you!"
Uchiha Feng has long been immune to the two people's frequent displays of affection.
"You two don't have to worry too much."
"Now that Sunagakure can no longer hold on, we in Konoha have the upper hand."
"As long as you don't seek death, you can still survive."
With Uchiha Feng’s strength;
On the battlefield, Qing Mimi would have no problem protecting the two of them.
After all, I got along with the two of them from the age of six in the ninja school to the age of twelve now.
The time we spent together was longer than that of Obito;
He has long been one of the few friends of Uchiha Feng.
There will be no trouble in protecting them as long as we can.
Ito and Akiyama's originally heavy hearts suddenly relaxed a lot.
In the past three years, they have witnessed the magic of Uchiha Feng;
I have no doubt about what he said.
After a while;
After completing his inspection mission, Uchimine separated from Ito and Akiyama and returned to a simple house.
Even though it is simple, it is much better than other houses because of Tsunade.
By this time, Tsunade had returned to the house;
I am packing my things and making final preparations before the war.
"Boy, Sand Shinobi and Konoha are about to begin the final showdown!"
"With your mere Genin strength, be careful to protect yourself and don't rush forward foolishly!"
Tsunade turned around and warned with a serious face.
She was afraid that someone familiar to her would die on the battlefield again;
It would be better for Uchiha Feng to be a coward than to let the opponent be determined to seek death on the battlefield.
"Don't worry, Tsunade-sama!"
"Even if everyone dies, I won't die!"
Uchiha Feng's tone was relaxed, as if he didn't care.
"you!"
Tsunade was suddenly furious and his eyebrows were raised;
Judging from the boy's appearance, it was obvious that he didn't listen to what she just said.
"Summoning Technique!"
