Chapter 406: War Begins
Half an hour later.
East of the Black Stone Stronghold.
Not far from the coastline.
Hundreds of Konoha ninjas were divided into three parts, forming an arc, hiding behind the bunkers, quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
The entire defense line was very quiet. Except for the occasional sound of waves hitting the beach, there was only the subtle breathing of the crowd.
In sharp contrast, there was a slightly noisy crowd in the back.
These were some middle and lower ninjas.
At this time, they were constantly transporting supplies from the stronghold to the outside, such as kunai, shuriken, detonating tags, etc., which could be said to have everything.
Obviously, Konoha had also prepared for this battle for a long time.
······
Time passed by minute by minute.
I don’t know how long it took, and suddenly someone shouted: "Here they come!"
Hearing this, everyone was startled and immediately became alert, looking at the sea ahead.
A Mist Hidden Ship sailed out of the bay and came into everyone's sight, followed by the second and third ships.
Finally, more than a dozen Mist Hidden Ships appeared on the sea.
Immediately, a ninja from the Hyuga clan opened his Byakugan to observe the number and strength of the Mist Hidden Ships on the ship, and reported it to Sano Nobuhisa and others for reference.
In the ninja world, although the war between ninjas does not rely on strategy like ordinary people, the importance of intelligence is even greater than that of ordinary people.
However, in this world where great power belongs to oneself, sometimes intelligence is not so important, and when you can't fight, you still can't fight.
For this reason, the war between ninjas is sometimes more like fighting each other.
Everyone gathers in groups of three or two, dealing with their own opponents, and when the opponent's people are almost dead, the battle will end.
It can be said that it is very primitive.
However, it is precisely because of the primitiveness that each ninja village can give full play to its strength, so that even if it loses, there is nothing to say.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Standing high in the sky, Qingming quietly looked at the battlefield below.
As the Kirigakure warship approached, at a certain moment, several Konoha ninjas suddenly rushed out of the defense line and came to the sea.
Then, they all formed seals and performed ninjutsu at the same time - Water Style: Explosion!
Although these people were limited by chakra, the effect of this technique was not as exaggerated as that of Hoshigaki Kisame.
However, so many people united together should not be underestimated.
It can be seen that as their ninjutsu was successfully performed, a wave of more than ten meters high suddenly rose and rushed towards the Kirigakure warship at a very fast speed.
If it was hit, even if the Kirigakure warship was strong, it would become a pile of fragments.
So would the Kirigakure ninja allow such a thing to happen?
The answer is obviously no.
Before the wave approached, three Kirigakure ninjas jumped off the warship.
Then, they all formed seals, squatted down, pressed their palms on the sea surface, and whispered: "Ice Release, Ice Sealing Technique!"
That's right, these three people are not ordinary ninjas, but three ninjas from the Snow Clan who inherited the "Ice Release" bloodline limit.
As their ninjutsu was successfully performed, a layer of solid ice appeared in their palms, and then quickly spread outward, and soon arrived in front of the waves.
The moment the two sides came into contact, the waves were frozen into ice sculptures and stopped in mid-air.
That's not the end!
After freezing the waves, the solid ice continued to spread and extended to the beach.
Taking this opportunity, a large number of Mist Ninjas jumped off the warships, stepped on the solid ice surface, and rushed straight to the coast.
During this period, the Konoha ninjas wanted to block them, but because of the obstruction of the ice sculpture of the waves that was more than ten meters high, they had no chance to attack.
In this way, the Mist Ninjas came to a place not far from the beach without any injuries.
Standing high in the sky, seeing this scene, Qingming couldn't help shaking his head.
After all, the time was too short. Although Konoha had mobilized its personnel, the preparations were very ordinary.
On the contrary, seeing the tacit cooperation of the Mist Ninja, it was obvious that they had already planned.
In this way, in the first round of confrontation, Konoha fell into a disadvantage.
However, this was just the beginning. What would happen next depended on the response of both sides.
After seeing that the attack did not work and failed to seize the initiative, the Konoha ninjas stopped attacking and immediately retreated to the defense line.
After the Mist Ninjas crossed the ice sculpture formed by the waves, someone immediately shouted: "Go!"
The next moment, dense kunai flew out from behind the bunker, like raindrops, and attacked the Mist Ninjas directly.
These Mist Ninjas were not to be outdone, and immediately threw the kunai in their hands to fight back.
Not only that, some of the Mist Ninjas quickly formed seals and performed ninjutsu - Water Style: Water Wave, attacking the Konoha ninjas behind the bunker.
The status of 'Water Style: Water Wave' in the Hidden Mist Village is the same as 'Earth Style: Rock Cannon Technique' in the Hidden Mist Village. As long as you are a Mist Ninja and have water attribute chakra, you can basically use it.
But similarly, its power is not great, and it can mainly play a harassing role.
In fact, it is true.
None of the Konoha ninjas attacked by this technique were injured.
The battle continues!
After the second round of attacks, the distance between the two sides was shortened again, and some people began to carry detonating tags on their ninja tools and then threw them.
This time, the intensity of the battlefield directly rose by more than one level.
Many ninjas died or were injured because they failed to dodge in time.
For a while, the wailing on the battlefield resounded continuously.
Stimulated by this, the ninjas on both sides became more brutal.
The sound of ninja tools cutting through the air rang out intensively, and detonating tags were detonated one after another, and deafening explosions rang out one after another.
Fireballs appeared one after another, scorching the surrounding air a little hotter.
The high temperature, coupled with the shock wave created by the detonating tags, caused the ice layer created by the three Snow Clan Jonins on the sea surface to break.
This added some difficulty to the attack of the Mist Ninja.
But it was only some difficulty.
The Mist Ninjas who could charge in the first echelon were at least Chunin, and each of them had the ability to walk on water, and would not stop moving forward because of the broken ice.
Therefore, the Mist Ninjas finally came to the beach.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters.
And this distance, for the ninjas, was just a blink of an eye.
The next moment, the tragic fight began.
One by one, the Mist Ninjas rushed into the Konoha position and fought a desperate battle with the Konoha ninjas.
At such a close distance, the detonating tags are not very useful.
Not to mention that it is easy to hurt yourself, even if your companions are not careful, they will also be hit.
Therefore, at this time, it is time to compete with the hard power of both sides.
"Kill!"
As a Konoha Jonin shouted, one by one, the Konoha ninjas also jumped out of the bunker, rushed into the Mist Ninja team, and started fighting.
For a while, the battlefield was filled with the sound of clanging, and the ninjas on both sides seemed to have lost their minds and killed each other.
