In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 33: Defeated as soon as I logged in?

"What is this? Why did we just walk past it?"

Standing behind Kaguya Naoki, watching him charge straight ahead without any intention of using ninjutsu, some ninjas couldn't help but shout unrestrainedly in the tone they usually used to mock the Kaguya family's intelligence.

"He'll die."

"Lord Seven Ninja Swordsmen, you can't act so recklessly!"

Then, when they saw the dense dark clouds shooting towards Kaguya Naoki, they silently picked up their swords, straightened their legs, and prepared to rescue their commander before he was riddled with arrows.

But it seems it's too late.

That blade, it was too fast, far too fast.

Moreover, even with so many ninjas, it's hard to imagine how they could deal with that dense barrage of kunai.

Is this how it's going to fail?

Just as this emotion was rising and spreading, a burst of sound shattered everything.

The clanging and clattering sounds echoed throughout the battlefield, and the flying sparks dazzled their eyes.

The Hidden Mist ninjas couldn't help but widen their eyes as they watched the white bone membrane disperse the entire dark cloud.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"Is this how you respond to an attack?"

The Hidden Mist ninjas, who are usually fragile yet powerful and skilled in assassination, have never seen such a reckless and forceful fighting style.

"Why so fast!"

They watched as the white figure flashed across the sky like lightning, instantly appearing beneath the walls of Konoha, then bursting forth with the color of blood, a deep red.

"Is this... a massacre?"

The Hidden Mist ninjas silently swallowed the blood that had been secreted due to the overwhelming shock.

They watched as Kaguya Naoki danced like a storm amidst the dense crowd of Konoha villagers, tearing anyone who dared to stand in his way to shreds.

The spurting blood and the splitting flesh created a scene that shocked even the Hidden Mist ninjas, who were accustomed to living on the edge of a knife.

"Lord Naoki, watch out!"

Just when some people were still feeling relieved because Kaguya Naoki had easily dealt with the desperate attack of that Jonin,

Some astute individuals have already noticed that the Konoha ninjas are tactically retreating, preparing to launch a new and even more powerful offensive!
"It's over."

The Hidden Mist ninjas gasped in surprise at the dense array of ninjutsu and the flashing light.

That's something even more terrifying than a dense array of kunai!

"Go save Lord Naoki!"

Just as he started moving, another voice rang out.

“Stop!”

The Kirigakure ninja who had previously reluctantly read out Kaguya Naoki's orders now raised his hand to stop his comrades behind him as he led the charge.

Because Kaguya Naoki, that monster, blocked all the ninjutsu and started dancing again.

The tedious fighting has begun again.

Only after a long time did another incredulous shout rang out.

"That's... Ice Release?"

I originally thought that what followed would be nothing more than a one-sided massacre, with a few small fish escaping occasionally, which wouldn't be a big deal. But unexpectedly, Kaguya Naoki suddenly used a strange yet familiar technique.

"That's... Ice Release, isn't it?"

Seeing the escaped Jonin's throat shattered, the Kirigakure ninjas, feeling relieved, asked uncertainly.

"Yes."

A member of the Minazuki clan squeezed to the front and exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the shimmering, extending ice mirror.

"Why have we never seen you use Ice Release like this before?" Several Kirigakure ninjas looked curiously at the Mizuki clan members.

This caused the latter to turn red in the face, unable to suppress his shock.

Yes.

Why is he able to use such a powerful ice technique?

There is no doubt that Lord Naoki is capable of using Ice Release and is a member of Kaguya and Minazuki's clan.

However, it is also true that Lord Naoki has never come into contact with the Minazuki family's Ice Release techniques.

Under such circumstances, Lord Naoki can not only use ice-style secret techniques similar to the Magic Mirror Ice Crystal, but also improve them, making them a highly mobile ninjutsu.

Is this what genius is?
The Minazuki clan members couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Suddenly, he didn't feel so bad anymore. The difference between them made him unable to feel any jealousy.

The liver-red color on his face disappeared, and he immediately retorted to the ninjas, "You all came from the Ninja Academy, so why don't you have Naoki-sama's taijutsu skills?"

The smiles on the faces of the Hidden Mist ninjas suddenly froze, and they silently turned away, saying nothing more.

They weren't that much different from Naoki in terms of martial arts skills; they were all easily defeated.

"I'll say it." "Do you want to surrender and come to my Hidden Mist Village?"

Is this... the end?

The Hidden Mist ninjas, no longer able to sit still, eager to make a name for themselves, jumped up and surrounded the few remaining Konoha ninjas stained with blood.

Then, with their incredibly fervent voices, they shouted out Kaguya Naoki's name.

Amidst this frenzied tide, the Konoha ninjas trembled, unable to draw their swords.

Faced with the irresistible Kaguya Naoki and the dense array of Hidden Mist ninja, they knew that no matter how hard they tried, they were no match for him.

But they are from Konoha.

So, as one ninja raised his long sword, the others followed suit, passing the swords—which hadn't yet been stained with the enemy's blood—through their own necks.

It's truly tragic.

Naoki Kaguya frowned once again as he wiped away the spurting blood.

There was too much blood.

It's impossible to wipe it clean.

Ignoring the barrage of pop-ups, Kaguya Naoki watched as the previously hostile Kirigakure ninjas now looked at him with fervent expressions.

Still slightly agitated by the blood, he couldn't help but feel a strange restlessness.

After barely managing to suppress his emotions, he replied indifferently.

"Ah."

"Then let's repair the camp, secure the port, and wait for the main force to arrive slowly."

"Yes, Kaguya Naoki-sama!"

A resounding, synchronized shout echoed, freezing the clouds in the sky.

Naoki Kaguya stood upright, then turned her back and calmly walked into the commander-in-chief's camp.

However, just ten minutes ago, this place belonged to Konoha.

"Naoki, your position is finally secure this time."

Terumi Mei closed the door, her barely suppressed smile and flowing hair telling a story of her heartfelt joy and happiness.

Then, she immediately became serious, her face stern, and as she looked at the map and intelligence, she devoted herself to analyzing future strategies for Kaguya Naoki.

"So, the next strategy is to first consolidate this foothold, and wait for the Kirigakure army to gather, then use overwhelming force to make Orochimaru back down."

Let's advance into the heart of Konoha and engage in a protracted war of attrition with Orochimaru, who has received the last support of Konoha's forces.

"Ah."

Naoki Kaguya replied casually.

This was a strategic judgment made by Kaguya Naoki after obtaining information about Kakashi.

Minato Namikaze, despite possessing the Flying Thunder God Technique, exhausted his chakra after only seven or eight uses during the Nine-Tails Night, compared to his current improved state.

Therefore, Kaguya Naoki decided to break up all the fleets into smaller groups and send them out in batches on the vast ocean. Based on Minato's chakra reserves, he planned to attack a maximum of seven or eight transport units, dragging Minato Namikaze onto the vast ocean with minimal losses.

Once the Hidden Mist ninjas receive a large-scale reinforcement, what will Orochimaru, who has not yet acquired enough troops, use to resist?

They could only delay and retreat layer by layer, quietly waiting for Konoha's reinforcements, and finally barely managed to establish a large camp in the heart of the Land of Fire in order to put up a resistance.

This is the short-term strategic advantage that Wuyin Village gained by sitting back and watching the tigers fight for many years.

Naoki Kaguya was pondering how to gain a greater advantage in the tug-of-war when his thoughts were immediately interrupted.

Bang bang bang!
A rapid and loud knocking sounded at the door, and Mei Terumi immediately got up and opened it.

The Hidden Mist ninja eagerly squeezed out through the crack in the door, holding an intelligence scroll in his hand.

Upon seeing Kaguya Naoki, the Hidden Mist ninja immediately shouted anxiously.

"Lord Naoki, the ships transporting troops were sunk by Minato Namikaze. Although most of the troops have not been lost, they are currently gathered on the island."

Naoki Kaguya's expression froze.

He had no time to concern himself with who had taken it upon themselves to change the order, putting Kirigakure, which was about to annex a significant portion of the Land of Fire, at risk of being driven back to the Land of Water.

Instead, he immediately asked.

Are there any other boats?

The Hidden Mist ninja lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Kaguya Naoki's eyes.

"The Third Generation Lord collected all the ships and handed them over to this fleet. Therefore, the Land of Water should not have any extra ships to allow these reinforcements to arrive in time."

Mei Terumi closed her eyes in pain.

Naoki Kaguya swayed slightly, then immediately regained his balance.

His eyes lit up as he thought of a certain technique.
