Chapter 175 Battlefield of the Land of Fields
Chapter 175 Battlefield of the Land of Fields
The border between the Land of Fields and the Land of Fire.
The dark clouds hung low, seemingly within reach.
A muffled rumble of thunder rolled through the clouds, and the occasional flash of lightning illuminated the grim faces of the two opposing sides.
The army of the Hidden Cloud Village was like an iron wall, exuding a violent sense of oppression.
Standing at the very front was none other than the Third Raikage, A, who was known as "the strongest spear and the strongest shield."
His bare upper body was bulging with muscles, and his lightning chakra draped over his body like armor, emitting a piercing "sizzling" sound.
Beside him, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Brubi, though his expression was indifferent, caused the surrounding space to subtly distort due to the immense, suffocating chakra emanating from his body.
In contrast, there was Konoha's mixed forces.
Orochimaru stood at the front, his golden vertical pupils slightly narrowed, his gaze quickly sweeping across the Cloud Village's ranks.
"Only eight tails...?"
Orochimaru licked his lips, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.
"The Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails mentioned in the intelligence report did not appear. It seems that the Jinchuriki, who is still growing, does not have perfect control over the Tailed Beast. Kumogakure does not dare to send such an unstable element to the battlefield."
His gaze continued to search, his brow furrowing slightly.
"And the future Third Raikage's son and his partner are not here."
"It seems they've been sent to another battlefield? Are they planning to launch a surprise attack on Jiraiya's side, or perhaps a flanking maneuver to ambush Konoha?"
Orochimaru quickly pulled a miniature scroll from his sleeve and swiftly wrote down a line of text.
"go."
With a casual wave of his hand, a thin white snake swallowed the scroll, burrowed into the ground, and disappeared.
"Send this information back to the village and the battlefield in the Land of Grass, and tell Jiraiya to be careful on the flanks."
After doing all this, Orochimaru looked at the Third Raikage again, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Just you and the Eight-Tails? It seems there's no one left in Kumogakure."
"I alone am enough to deal with you all!"
The Third Raikage roared, his voice booming like thunder.
"Orochimaru, stop with the empty talk! Today I'll show you what the strongest spear really is!"
"attack!"
With a command from the Third Raikage, the Cloud Village army roared and surged towards the Leaf Village's position like a tidal wave.
"superior!"
Orochimaru waved his hand, and the Konoha ninja behind him launched a charge.
"boom!"
The two torrents collided violently.
The Third Raikage took the lead, his speed as fast as lightning, tearing Konoha's defenses apart like paper wherever he went.
Ordinary ninjutsu wouldn't even leave a white mark on him.
"Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!"
Orochimaru's body twisted like a snake, and several giant pythons sprang out from his sleeves, barely blocking the Raikage's attack.
"Your opponent is me, Raikage."
Orochimaru did not confront the attack head-on. Instead, he used the Substitution Technique and his modified body to move through the raging lightning, holding off the strongest monster on the battlefield.
On the other side of the battlefield.
"roar--!!!"
The Eight-Tails Brubi has entered a semi-tailed beast form, with its dark red tail waving wildly behind it, each swing sending many enemies flying.
"Is this what a tailed beast is?"
Fugaku Uchiha stood on a high ground, his dark blue police uniform fluttering in the wind.
He slowly raised his head, and his dark eyes instantly changed, the three tomoe joined together, transforming into that strange kaleidoscope pattern.
"Now that you're here, don't expect to get out of here easily."
Fugaku flashed forward, black chakra surging around him like a guardian deity, facing the raging beast head-on.
The top combat forces on both sides were instantly locked in a stalemate.
Amidst the chaos of the ordinary ninja battlefield, a strange team is reaping the lives of Cloud Village ninjas in an extremely efficient manner.
There were about fifty of them, dressed in uniform black combat uniforms with the word "Peace" printed on the back, wearing sunglasses, and carrying long-barreled weapons painted in red and black.
The Konoha Peace Corporation's Special Operations Team was led by Uchiha Yatsuhoku.
"Be careful not to get into a close fight, keep your distance!"
Yashiro calmly issued the instructions via radio.
"First squad, Lightning Release ninjas gathered at the three o'clock position on the left flank, eliminate them!"
"yes!"
The ten team members raised their electromagnetic cannons in unison, requiring no hand seals, only the pulling of the trigger.
"Buzz—Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Dozens of blue and white streaks of light instantly pierced the air.
The group of Cloud Ninja who were forming hand seals to unleash Lightning Release hadn't even had time to react before the supersonic bullet pierced their bodies.
Headbands, breastplates, and even the kunai in one's hand are meaningless in the face of the electromagnetic cannon's penetrating power.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
Blood splattered, and a row of Cloud Ninjas fell instantly.
"What kind of weapon is that?!"
The Cloud Village ninjas around screamed in terror. They had never seen such an attack before. There was no violent fluctuation of chakra, no hand seals, only the streak of death.
"Second squad, right-side taijutsu ninja advance, scattering mode!"
The eighth generation issued another order.
The other team members quickly adjusted their guns, and the dense barrage of bullets, like a large net, turned the Cloud Village taijutsu ninjas who tried to get close into a sieve.
This small team of only fifty people managed to carve out a vacuum in the Cloud Village's army.
Wherever they went, the enemy was left barren, their efficiency was outrageous.
Unless there are large-scale ninjutsu or traps, nothing can stop them.
Enemies who tried to get close were either stopped by the Konoha ninjas providing cover, or were preemptively targeted and eliminated by the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha; there weren't many who could cause them any trouble.
A Konoha Chunin responsible for providing cover swallowed hard, his eyes filled with shock as he watched this scene unfold.
"Don't stand there! Keep up!"
The eighth generation replaced the overheated battery and said coldly:
"Our mission is to clear the area; don't let any weaklings interfere with Lord Orochimaru and Captain Fugaku's battle!"
"Keep pushing forward!"
In this chaotic battlefield, this team, which called itself a security company but was actually a special forces unit, became the nightmare of the Cloud Village ninja.
At the heart of the battlefield, Orochimaru and the Raikage, Fugaku and the Eight-Tails, were brewing a terrifying surge of chakra.
