Chapter 407: Planning and Fighting
In a flash, several hours passed.
Time went from early morning to mid-morning.
At this time, the battle was still not over.
Or rather, it was even more intense.
The defense line built by Konoha had long been broken, and as the battle progressed, the entire battlefield had spread over several kilometers in radius.
Basically, from the east of the Black Stone stronghold to the area one or two kilometers deep into the sea, it was all battlefields.
In this area, the ninjas of both sides either joined forces, or went alone, or ambushed, or fought hard, in short, they were trying every means to kill each other.
Blood was spilled all over the land, and the wailing and fighting sounds were endless. Anyone who came here and saw this scene would not be calm.
And this is just a microcosm of the Ninja World War.
No, let alone the entire Ninja World, even on the defense line of Konoha, there was more than one place where fighting was taking place at this time.
At the same time as the Mist Ninjas in Feiyu Town launched the attack, the other three strongholds that had been captured by the Hidden Mist Village before also launched attacks simultaneously.
For a time, the three defense lines of the north, middle and south of the eastern border of Konoha became tense, and various materials and manpower were constantly mobilized to resist the invasion of Kirigakure.
However, even so, the situation is still precarious.
As for the reason
It is very simple. Konoha is now in a decisive battle with Sand Village, and Rock Village is also holding it back.
Therefore, even after almost a week, there are still not enough people.
In this case, facing the sudden attack of Kirigakure, they naturally have a hard time resisting it because they have no soldiers to use.
And this also gave Kirigakure an opportunity.
So, they continue to increase their investment.
Now, they not only use the four strongholds as bridgeheads to expand outward.
At the same time, they are also organizing manpower to attack other strongholds on the border of Konoha, in order to tie down more of Konoha's troops and prevent them from supporting with peace of mind.
It is undeniable that fighting at home does have its advantages, such as supplying materials, which is relatively simple.
But at the same time, it also has its own shortcomings.
Just like now, in order to avoid a massive invasion by the Hidden Mist Village, Nara Kiyoshi, as the commander-in-chief, did not dare to withdraw a large number of personnel from other strongholds on the defense line.
Even if he knew that the attack on those strongholds by the Hidden Mist Ninja was just to tie up their energy, he did not dare to do so.
Because once these strongholds were vacant, and the Hidden Mist Village got the news, it would be very likely that the Hidden Mist Village would have another bridgehead.
So, he did not dare to take risks at all.
As for hoping to hide it from the Hidden Mist Village and come up with an empty city plan or something,
Nara Kiyoshi had never considered this.
It was not that he did not think of this method, but the situation did not allow it.
Last time, the Hidden Mist Village was able to capture their four strongholds, which obviously had the advantage of accurate intelligence.
However, until now, the Anbu still has not figured out how the relevant information was leaked.
Therefore, Nara Kiyoshi did not dare to gamble at all.
Now, what he can do, and the safest thing, is to compete with the Hidden Mist Village in terms of hard power.
As long as he does not play any conspiracy, the Hidden Mist Village will not be able to find any flaws. This is the confidence of a high-IQ clan.
As for hard power.
Indeed, with the ninjas near the four strongholds now, plus the ninjas who are about to arrive for support, they are not opponents of the Hidden Mist Village.
However, in terms of high-end combat power, the Hidden Mist Village is more than one level behind them.
In the past week, Nara Qiguang did not waste his time in vain.
In addition to dispatching troops and preparing supplies, he spent the most time contacting the village leaders and requesting the assistance of top combat power.
And the village.also agreed.
As long as they can hold on for a while, there will be masters coming to support them soon.
With the support of these people, even if they are defeated, they can drag the Hidden Mist Village to death.
After all, this place is not close to the Hidden Mist Village. As long as they can block the logistical supply channels of the Hidden Mist Village at sea.
Then, when the supplies of the Hidden Mist Village are exhausted, they will naturally stop the offensive.
As long as this period of time is dragged out, and the result of the decisive battle between the village and the Hidden Sand Village comes out, more troops can be mobilized to come to support.
At that time, the Hidden Mist Village can be driven back.
This is Nara Kiku's plan, which is to delay and wait for changes.
However, Qingming is not clear about what Nara Kiku's plan is, and he doesn't care much. He is now "playing soy sauce" on the battlefield.
Of course, it is called playing soy sauce, but with his strength and fame, even if he does not take the initiative to provoke Kikugakure, Kikugakure will not ignore him.
Therefore, he is now besieged by two Kikugakure jonins and three special jonins.
Ding Ding Dang Dang~
Qingming holds a long sword, and the three magatama Sharingan is fully activated to observe the movements of the two people in front of him and predict their next move.
Then, he swings the long sword in his hand to block the attacks of the two.
The long sword and the kunai collided, and a series of crisp metal collision sounds were emitted, and sparks flew everywhere, which was beautiful and dangerous.
Whoosh~
Suddenly, a subtle sound of breaking through the air came from behind his head.
Qingming's ears moved slightly, and his head suddenly tilted to the left.
The next moment, a shuriken flew past his earlobe, leaving a thin blood mark on his ear.
But the next moment, the faint blood mark disappeared.
For a wound like this, Qingming can easily stimulate the body's self-healing ability to recover by mobilizing chakra, without having to perform any medical ninjutsu.
However, this is just the beginning.
The next moment, the two Mist Ninjas who had just been fighting with him suddenly retreated and kept a certain distance from him.
Seeing this, Qingming was about to chase them.
However, at this moment, a dense sound of breaking through the air was heard.
Qingming looked back and saw dozens of shurikens and kunai flying towards him, attacking his vital parts.
In an instant, Qingming pushed his Sharingan to the limit, and the three magatama in his pupils rotated rapidly, locking all the kunai and shurikens in an instant.
Then, he kept swinging his sword, accompanied by a series of "ding ding ding" sounds, and all the incoming kunai and shurikens were cut down by him one by one.
"Hu~"
Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the two Mist Ninjas who had just retreated behind him suddenly attacked.
‘Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique~’
‘Water Style: Water Fang Bullet~’
Instantly, two ninjutsu came straight at him, one attacking from top to bottom, and the other attacking from behind, the two cooperated very well.
Not only that, they also grasped the timing very well, just when he had just dodged a round of attacks, and the old strength had just gone and the new strength had not yet been born.
At this time, even if Qingming could dodge this round of attacks with great effort, he would inevitably lose the initiative and be completely suppressed by them.
The two seemed to have foreseen what would happen to Qingming later, and their faces showed a trace of relief.
However, facing such a crisis, Qingming was not in a hurry.
Before, the reason why he entangled with the five opponents for so long was just because he didn't want to attract too much attention and disturb his "slacking".
Now, since he was in danger, it was naturally impossible to hide.
With this thought, Qingming put away his sword and made a seal, and in the blink of an eye, he performed the ninjutsu - Water Style: Big Same Bullet Technique!
A huge shark missile quickly took shape in front of him, and then rushed straight to the vortex water flow in front.
This is the effect of "Water Style·Water Fang Bullet", which is to condense a stream of water, then rotate rapidly, and shoot water guns to attack the target at the same time.
To be honest, this ninjutsu is still good.
But facing his special ninjutsu "Water Style·Big Same Bullet Technique", it has no effect.
The moment those water guns attacked the shark, they were all swallowed by it, and then became nutrients for its growth.
So, as the shark missile continued to move forward, its size became larger and larger, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Not far away, the Mist Hidden Ninja faced such a huge monster and finally couldn't hold on. He immediately ended the ninjutsu and rushed to the side.
At the same time, on the other side, Qingming no longer paid attention to the attack in front after performing the "Water Style·Big Same Bullet Technique".
He just kept retreating, dodging the attack from the ‘Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique’ from above.
Boom~
The huge water dragon hit the ground, making a loud noise and splashing up a cloud of dust.
