From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 265 Offensive
The air was filled with smoke and dust and fire.

The shrill shouts and the sounds of ninjutsu being released mixed together, the earth-shaking artillery fire shook the eardrums, the rumbling low roar and piercing screams seemed to drill straight into the brains of every ninja present, and the swift and sharp ninja spearheads were torn into pieces in the distant forest. One by one, the Iwagakure ninjas rushed towards the direction of the Konoha ninja army with expressionless faces, as if they were not afraid of death.

Braving artillery fire and facing shurikens, it seemed like a machine that felt no pain at all.

Sawara Kiri stood on the top of a small hill facing south, looking down at the scene. While keeping his perception fully open, his expression was extremely solemn.

All the faces reflected in the "Six Eyes" were expressionless.

After receiving the news yesterday, a number of Konoha's high-ranking officials realized the seriousness of the matter and led the reserve ninja troops from Konoha to the front line.

The unit led by Sawara Kirisuo is an elite force with more than 80% of its members having college education, and they are also the fastest.

However, by the time they appeared at the second-line position, they had already seen the Iwagakure (No, it should be the Moon Organization) battle group that had broken through the first line of defense and was heading straight into the heart of the Fire Nation from afar.

According to the information they received, the Moon Organization's army was now encircling them from three directions: Taki, Earth, and Grass.

In addition to the Fire Nation, there were also reports of attacks from the Lightning Nation.

Because the three countries' alliance was jointly resisting Konoha, the Hidden Cloud Village had very few scouts at sea, and the western coastal areas encountered almost no resistance and were directly defeated by the sudden attack of the Moon Organization.

In addition, with the death of the Fourth Raikage, the Hidden Cloud Village was leaderless, and had to even pull out several veterans who were about to retire to maintain the situation. It was extremely troubled both internally and externally, and basically could not form any decent resistance. The overall war situation showed a one-sided direction, which made the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning so furious that he even smashed a cup in the Daimyo's mansion.

However, Konoha now has no time to pay attention to the situation in the Land of Lightning.

They themselves were equally shocked.

"Lord Sahara!"

"The frontline of the Land of Earth has sent a message that the bunkers have been breached, the frontline commander, Lord Akimichi Tofu, has been killed, more than 1,300 ninja soldiers have been killed, and most of the remaining troops are beginning to retreat in the direction of the country, with more than a thousand soldiers chasing them from behind."

"The enemy forces in the direction of Taki no Kuni have broken through the two defense lines of Yutama River and Kitasetsu, and are continuing to move southward."

"Lord Sahara."

The news that kept coming into the command tent gave Sawara Kiri a headache. He even doubted what these people were doing. Were the exoskeletons and chakra cannons made of mud? Why were they retreating so quickly?

However, when he saw the detailed information submitted to the desk, he fell silent again.

It’s not that the friendly forces are not strong enough, it’s that the enemy is desperate.

According to reports from the front, all the enemy ninja soldiers that appeared before them were carrying at least more than 40 kilograms of detonating seal packages, which was equivalent to at least more than 600 detonating tags. Neither the bunkers nor the defense lines could withstand a single explosion. Any chakra cannon that opened fire would be broken by the blasting team composed of dozens of enemy soldiers. The method of attack was also quite classic - using the ninja's extraordinary speed to rush directly to the place where the Konoha ninjas were concentrated, and immediately igniting the fire when the distance to them was within ten meters, and relying on self-detonation to continuously clear the way, so that the Konoha side could not engage in battle with them at all.

From World War I to World War II, the Konoha ninjas had never seen such a reckless attitude.

How can one stop a death squad of thousands of people?
No matter how well-trained the Konoha ninjas are, except for the Hyuga team who are capable of long-range sniping, no one else can perform at all when facing such a force head-on.

"."

"This crazy woman."

"Isn't she afraid of exhausting her own chakra source?"

Sawara Kiri looked at the casualty reports and requests for retreat and couldn't help but grimace.

Looking throughout the entire ninja world, perhaps only Uchiha Hikaru, who has lived from the Warring States period to the present, and once lived as the Uchiha ultimate weapon for many years, and who does not take the lives of ninjas seriously at all, can do this.

More importantly, up to now, they have not found any information related to Uchiha Hikaru.

Facing these ninja soldiers who do not take their own lives seriously at all, the only way to truly achieve your goal is to eliminate their heads.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with these puppet armies, Sawara Kiri suddenly seemed to sense something and abruptly raised his head towards the front.

At this moment, Kakashi's voice also sounded, and he said hurriedly:
"Mr. Kiri!"

"The second wave of attack is coming!"

When his "Six Eyes" expanded his vision, he saw tiny figures like flying dust suddenly jumping out from the dense forest in the distance that served as the border of Konoha.

Thousands of Iwagakure ninjas fearlessly rushed towards the winding trenches ahead. The entire battle line looked messy and scattered, with a considerable distance between each person.

It didn't seem threatening at all.

But obviously, the Konoha ninja didn't think so.

The ninjas crouching in the trenches looked at the densely packed figures in front of them. Commander Yamanaka, with bloodshot eyes, kept the hand seals of the spell perception, but a howl came out of his throat first, accompanied by splattering saliva:
"Each gun crew, fire three rounds rapidly! Ready!"

"put!"

With a loud bang, the clear blue belts spanning several kilometers shot out like rainbow light after the rain, all targeting the center of the Iwagakure ninja community ahead.

The five Konoha ninjas who were crouching behind the chakra cannon and providing chakra at the same time had cold sweat on their temples, but they still maintained the hand seals firmly. The veins on the forehead of the perception ninja who was responsible for correction were bulging.

As the rumbling of the cannons sounded, the explosion points covering a radius of dozens of meters suddenly bloomed almost simultaneously from the rushing Moon Organization Ninja Army, transforming into beautiful flowers wrapped in blood and fire. The ground beneath their feet seemed to tremble faintly under the sound of the cannons.

However, the painless and tearless Moon Organization Ninja Army seemed to have not noticed the miserable deaths of their comrades around them. The Ninja Army in the back row filled the gaps left by the artillery fire without any delay and continued to rush towards the trenches at a wide distance like a bloody torrent.

"Three hundred meters!"

"Two hundred meters!"

"The Earth Escape Class is performing a technique!"

Following the command of the grassroots commander, dozens of earth escape teams in groups of three quickly stepped forward, forming joint seals with their hands.

"Combined Earth Escape: Ten Thousand Miles Earth Flow Wall!"

The tough and charred earth quickly softened into mud under the effect of chakra, and supported by unimaginable power, it turned into an earth wall more than ten meters high in front of the entire trench at an incredibly fast speed, almost blocking the entire front line of vision, like the Great Wall standing.

Unfortunately.
“Boom! Boom boom boom—!”

Almost at the moment when this earth wall was formed, bursts of sharp muffled sounds rang out simultaneously from the bottom of the entire barrier.

The low-frequency vibrations and the dull sound of drums hit everyone's eardrums. The young Genma Shiranui, squatting in a bloody trench, couldn't help but cover his ears, and even his pupils couldn't help but dilate.

Are they really fighting humans?

He couldn't help thinking this in his heart.

In an instant, the roar of collapse and destruction rose from the front.

In contrast, there are the heart-wrenching roars of the grassroots commanders on the front line:

"Fire!"

The fixed machine gun, which was originally only a fire support weapon, showed great destructive power far beyond the imagination of its researchers when facing these enemies who disregarded their lives.

Although the straight trajectory and deafening sound do not seem to be very effective for ordinary ninjas who are good at hiding, it is just right when facing these unconscious puppets.

As the fire whips continued to sweep forward, large groups of Moon Organization Ninja soldiers who were flying forward in scattered formations exploded one by one like popcorn, and the huge amount of explosive seals they carried also exploded with a bang as the fire was ignited, forming charred pits on the spot.

It’s a pity that the ninja’s speed is still too fast.

From the forest in front to the Konoha trench, the open area with a depth of one kilometer only lasted less than twenty seconds under the speed of the Moon Organization Ninja Army. In an instant, the enemy troops, leaping like locusts and with expressionless faces, suddenly rushed out, and the almost continuous explosions and wailing suddenly resounded through everyone's brain.

"Go to hell!"

"Fire Escape——"

"You monsters."

"Machine gun squad, who told you to stop firing?"

"Are there any living people?"

A complex and noisy sound suddenly covered the entire trench. The situation they faced had never appeared in the textbooks of Ninja High School. They could only rely on their firm will and fragile bodies to fight against these fearless monsters in front of them.

Genjian Shiranui, who had been unconscious for more than ten seconds, seemed to suddenly regain consciousness, and then the sound of rapid footsteps rang in his ears.

His heart seemed to be suddenly grasped by a big hand, and he subconsciously grasped the kunai at his waist.

As my peripheral vision turned, an expressionless figure was reflected in my sight.

‘It’s over. ’

The thought just flashed through his mind.

The next moment, a figure wrapped in lightning leaped over him.

"Thunder Release·Purple Lightning!"

The figure holding a kunai passed by Xuanjian at a speed as fast as the wind. The blade, with leaping electric fire, pierced through the chest of the Iwagakure ninja in front of him without mercy, and then continued to bounce forward at an even faster speed.

Genjian Shiranui's figure paused for a moment, and then a big hand pushed his head back into the trench.

"Squat down."

A familiar voice rang in his ears.

With a loud bang, the figure whose chest was pierced exploded into a ball of fireworks accompanied by shattered blood.

It even caused him to temporarily lose his hearing.

However, when he raised his head, he couldn't help but feel a trace of shock on his face.

"Lord Sahara!!"

Sawara Kiri stood in front of the trench, using the "Unlimited Technique" that spread around his body to completely block the explosion in front of him. He looked calmly at the figures that were surging like a tide in front of him.

Genjian Shiranui looked at his back and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable shock in his heart.

He was not the only one who discovered Sawara Kiri.

The several Konoha ninjas who were covered in blood and struggling to crawl out from the corpses in the surrounding trenches all noticed the man standing in front of the trench like an iron wall. They couldn't help but shout out, and their eyes seemed to light up.

Simply being on the front lines means victory.

It is no exaggeration to say that Sawara Kiri is now the spiritual pillar of the entire Konoha.

However, he himself had no such awareness at all.

Looking at the group of enemy ninjas that spread across the entire thousand-meter open area, he felt that the situation was a bit tricky.

"There is no way to solve this problem using conventional means."

'In that case.'

Sawara Kirishin thought about it, raised his right hand, bent his index finger behind his middle finger, and formed a special hand seal.

At the same time, he spoke to the people behind him:

"Relax."

"Don't think about anything."

Shiranui Genma, who was standing behind Sawara Kiri, was startled and did as he was told subconsciously.

next moment.

The pitch-black curtain suddenly spread out in all directions in a hemispherical shape with Sawara Mist as the center, covering the trenches, the open area, and a small part of the forest.
Eventually, a hemisphere with a radius of more than one kilometer was formed.

"The Field Expands, Infinite Space"

At that moment, everyone could hear this subtle murmur.

However, everyone present, whether from Konoha or Iwagakure, all of their bodies were frozen in place as if time had stood still. No matter how active their minds were, they were completely unable to move.

At the same time, Sawara Kiri's figure shot towards the Iwagakure ninja in front of him like an arrow.

Space Leap, Shave, Moon Step, Instant Body.
All the mobility abilities that were so advanced that they were far beyond the imagination of ordinary people were deployed at this moment, at a speed far exceeding that of bullets, even several times the speed of sound, and with the unique exquisite control of the "Six Eyes", they leaped towards all the Iwagakure ninjas in this open land.

With the "Limiter Release", "Energy Beast" and "Armament Haki", Sawara Kiri's power burst out at this moment, even far exceeding Gojo Satoru's peak period. The time he used to cross the entire one-kilometer battle line was less than 0.5 seconds.

The Iwagakure Suicide Squad, which consisted of thousands of people, was as fragile as tofu in front of him.

Knife strike, knee strike, elbow strike, whip kick.
Each of these fierce moves can take one or more lives in an instant.

The huge amount of information that "Infinite Space" itself brings makes everyone lose their minds, but the impact of countless information makes Sawara Kiri's every move more profound in the hearts of these Konoha ninjas.

In an instant, wrapped in the scorched smoke caused by the torn air, Sawara Kiri stopped in the center of the battlefield.

The dark area also shattered.

Kakashi, who was still flying in the battlefield, seemed to feel the recovery of inertia in an instant, but his rigid brain didn't have time to keep up with the change of time and he stumbled.

But then I found myself floating in mid-air.

He raised his head and saw Sahara Kiri, who was breathing heavily, holding him in the air with one hand as if he was carrying cargo. He was subconsciously startled.

then.

“Boom, boom, boom—!!!”

Thousands of explosions suddenly filled his entire hearing range.

His whole body was almost completely enveloped in flames.

After the endless light and fire had exploded, he looked around with his buzzing brain.

All that was left on the earth was a charred black mass.
