Chapter 36 War begins
"Rei? Why does your face look a little bad..." Terumi Mei looked at Kaguya Rei, whose face was slightly pale, and she reached out her hand to touch his forehead with surprise, "I didn't sleep well before. Of?"
"I was making some preparations for the following battle, but I was just a little over-exhausted," Kaguya Rei let Terumi Mei's small hand fall on her forehead, and said with a slightly tired look:
"After all, we were able to capture Mount Kannabu this time mainly because Konoha was caught off guard by us. If we are driven out by them, the enemies we will face next time we come back will probably be of the level of the Sannin of Konoha. ”
"That's right," Terumi Mei retracted her hand and said with the same worried eyes: "Yesterday after you rested, I went to ask people who had fought against Konoha ninjas before to find out more from them. Which Konoha ninjas with more difficult abilities have arrived at the front lines..."
"What's the conclusion?" Kaguya Rei turned her face sideways and looked at Terumi Mei with questioning eyes.
"The conclusion is that, except for the Hinata and Uchiha families who have not sent anyone over yet, the other ninja families have basically been involved in the battle. People who have participated in the battle said that they have already seen the three families of Ino, Shika and Butterfly. The clansmen and insect masters of the Aburame clan, the ninja dogs of the Inuzuka clan, and the fire escape of the Sarutobi clan have also been encountered..."
"Oh, from the looks of it, the one who saw through the trap yesterday should be a member of the Nara clan..."
Kaguya Rei nodded, and then asked Terumi Meifa:
"Then, if the insect master of the Aburame clan controls a large number of secret insects to attack the stronghold, do you have a way to deal with it, Terumi Mei?"
"Okay. To deal with targets whose individual strength is not high, my Boiling Escape and Melting Escape are quite handy... Are you worried about them splitting up their forces, Rei?"
After being asked this question, Terumi Mei also heard that Kaguya Rei would most likely not directly participate in the stronghold defense battle, but planned to go out to meet the enemy, so he asked about this topic while answering, and Kaguya Rei nodded. Acknowledging this, he handed a sealing scroll into Terumi Mei's hands.
"This is?"
"The special clone I created inherits about half of the power of the main body. If you encounter a difficult enemy that you can't handle, you can use your psychic skills to summon it to meet the enemy. I will come back as soon as possible."
"clear."
Terumi Mei nodded, put the scroll into the ninja bag on her waist, then walked forward, and while helping Kaguya Rei arrange his shirt, she said seriously:
"Be careful, Rei... A single ninjutsu may not threaten you, but if multiple ninjutsu are combined, it can easily force you into an unfavorable situation. If that happens, Don’t hesitate, just retreat.”
"If you are still here, no matter how many Kannabu Mountains we have, we still have a chance to recapture them. But if you fall into the hands of Konoha, even if we defend Kannabu Mountain, it will be a complete failure in terms of losses."
"rest assured."
Kaguya Rei reached out and rubbed Terumi Mei's long, silky red hair, and gave her a reassuring and confident smile.
"I want to become Mizukage, the man who changes the entire ninja world. I won't stop until I reach that peak."
"Assault squad members, follow me! It's time to teach the ninjas of Konoha a lesson."
"Ohhhhhhh!"
A dozen figures loudly responded to Kaguya Rei's order, and then disappeared from the outer wall of the Kannabuyama stronghold together with their trusted superiors.
…
About ten kilometers away from Mount Kanabu, the red-haired Uzumaki Kushina was stopping here with Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, Yamanaka Kaiichi, Aburame Shimi and nearly two hundred Konoha ninjas. Making final preparations before launching an attack.
"Shikaku, do you have any clues about the intelligence analysis about this newly arrived Kirigakure force that I asked you to do so hard?"
Uzumaki Kushina checked the various ninja tools she carried, and asked Nara Shikaku next to her in a somewhat embarrassed tone.
"It is indeed a very difficult task," Nara Shikaku sighed, casting his resentful eyes in the direction of Aburame Shiwei, "If Shiwei's bugs can be discovered later, I can probably analyze it more. Come up with something.”
"Don't talk about things that will never happen again, Shikaku, just tell us the known information." Yamanaka Haiichi stared in the direction of Kannabuyama, with a heavy tone, "Before the battle begins, we can have a little more control over the enemy. It is a good thing to understand, especially this kind of enemy who has shown strength that we cannot understand..."
"Okay, okay, I understand, let's talk about the conclusion that has been basically determined first," Nara Shikaku lit a cigarette for himself and said in a deep voice:
"According to what Zhiwei's bugs observed, there are not many traces of ninjutsu confrontations in the stronghold. This shows that the core combat force of the opponent who captured the Kannabuyama stronghold should not be ninjas who are good at large-scale ninjutsu. , but a ninja who is very strong in physical skills and can quickly kill all enemies that come close to him."
"Secondly, the bugs found traces of corrosion on some buildings in the stronghold, but we all know that Kirigakure currently does not have the Jinchūriki capable of controlling the Six-Tails, so I judge that these traces should be caused by Kirigakure's unique Blood Succession Limit , left behind by Fei Dun.”
"This is the only intelligence that can be analyzed with limited information. The rest will have to be analyzed after the battle begins..."
"Aren't you going to talk about the ninja who uses the Kirigakure Jutsu?"
Aburame Shiwei suddenly spoke and mentioned a detail that Nara Shikaku had not mentioned. In response to this, Nara Shikaku took a long puff of cigarette, and then said slowly:
"This is information that I cannot give a precise analysis, so I won't state it for now... Zhiwei, do you have any ideas?"
"Yes, there is something wrong with the fog," Aburame expressed her doubts concisely and concisely. "The Kirigakure Technique is usually not used before fighting with the enemy, but we did it when we were more than one kilometer away from the target. I discovered the existence of fog, which is very abnormal.”
"You mean that the fog is not just used to obstruct our sight, but also has other functions..." Nara Shikaku closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Reconnaissance perception!? That's that group of fog Hidden is a special method used to detect changes in the surroundings?"
"It's possible, but why?" Akimichi Tingzao, who has a rich physique, raised his own question, "Using fog to carry out wide-area perception, let alone the consumption of chakra by doing so, the Fire Country does not always rise. Is it foggy? Wouldn’t it be easy to expose their existence by doing this?”
"Perhaps it is a last resort..." As a member of the intelligence analysis class, Yamanaka Haiichi quickly thought of an answer that seemed to explain this problem:
"There have never been many sentient ninjas in Kirigakure. Could it be that they lacked this type of ninja in their team, so they were forced to choose this method?"
"It makes sense, but no matter how scarce it is, there is no reason why such a powerful team that can quickly capture Mount Kannabu should not be equipped with corresponding sentient ninjas... Unless there is something wrong with the commander of this team, or Kirigakure's People expect this team not to take autonomous action?”
Nara Shikaku continued to think along Yamanaka Haiichi's thoughts.
"After several battles, Kannayenyama has eliminated almost all the surrounding elements that can be exploited by the attackers. Apart from frontal attacks, there is basically no room for other tricks to be used... The main force of Kirigakure is a good A taijutsu ninja..."
"I understand, Kushina-sama!"
Nara Shikaku slammed his hands and said to Uzumaki Kushina who was listening quietly:
"The ninja led by Kirigakure is probably the Kaguya Rei who injured Minato-sama before! If it is him..."
"What if it were me?"
As if a cold voice coming from the Nine Nether Hells resounded in the ground beneath the group of people, Uzumaki Kushina's eyes narrowed and she immediately shouted:
"Get away quickly! The enemy is hiding underground——"
"Dance, the Dance of the Early Fern!"
Unmeasurable huge bone spurs burst out from under the earth without warning, and launched an indiscriminate attack on the Konoha ninjas stationed on the ground.
Although most of the people reacted under Uzumaki Kushina's reminder and avoided the first wave of bone spurs by jumping high, there were still more than forty weak ones. Or the Konoha ninjas who were far away from Uzumaki Kushina did not react and became the victims of Kaguya Rei's attack.
Their bodies were torn apart by the bone spurs generated by the Dance of the Early Fern, and turned into a shower of blood, adding a cruel and bloody embellishment to the forest of bones that was created in an instant.
The battle of Kannabuyama officially began with Kaguya Rei's unexpected surprise attack.
Unfortunately, the state is still a bit unstable and I can't write the third update...
