Minato Namikaze immediately selected five familiar ninjas and led them to ambush the Cloud Ninjas on the left.

Chiyu created a shadow clone and commanded the remaining ninjas, "You follow my shadow clone and continue forward. I'll go and clear out the Cloud Ninjas on the right!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qianyu used the Body Flicker Technique to disappear from the spot.

Qianyu quickly located the seven Cloud Ninja.

Chiba activated his Sharingan and locked onto the two special Jonin at the head.

"Thunder Breathing·Fourth Form·Distant Thunder!"

Chiyu's body erupted with lightning speed as he launched a surprise attack, targeting one of the two special Jonin in the lead.

Hearing the thunderous roar, the seven Cloud Ninjas looked towards Qianyu at the same time, but it was too late.

As Chiba approached, he swung his blade and unleashed a high-speed slash, instantly beheading a special Jonin.

The other Cloud Ninja reacted quickly.

"Cloud Flow - Forward Slash!"

"Cloud Flow - Hidden Slash"

"Cloud Flow - Crescent Moon Slash"

...

The last remaining special jonin also drew his sword and swung it at Chiba.

"Cloud Flowing Fire Slash!"

The Cloud Ninja's special Jonin infused his sword with Fire Release chakra, causing flames to erupt when he swung it.

Qianyu quickly formed three hand seals.

The attacks of the six Cloud Ninja landed on Chiyu.

Qianyu turned into a wisp of smoke and then into a tree stump.

Qianyu stood on the tree trunk, her hands rapidly forming hand seals.

"Fire Escape·The Great Fire Extinguishes!"

Chiyu gathered chakra in her throat and exhaled a large expanse of flames, like seawater, forward.

Due to the large area affected by the flames, the six Cloud Ninja were forced to leap into the air to avoid them.

"Thunder Breathing·Type 5·Heat Realm Thunder!"

The Thousand Feather Ninja Sword was aimed at the Cloud Ninja in mid-air, and a lightning-shaped slash carrying intense heat was unleashed to bombard them.

Two of the Cloud Ninjas had their abdomens blasted through by Chiyu's lightning.

Qianyu formed hand seals again.

Earth Release: Earth Stone Dragon!

Using her chakra, Chiyu formed a dragon with an astonishing aura from a large amount of earth and rocks, and pounced on one of the Cloud Ninja.

The Cloud Ninja swung his sword, trying to defeat the Earth Dragon, but after a portion of the earth was cut off from its head, it was immediately replaced, causing the Cloud Ninja to be plunged into the sea of ​​fire.

The remaining three Cloud Ninja landed on the tree trunk.

The Cloud Ninja Special Jonin quickly formed hand seals.

"Fire Release·Fire Dragon Bullet!"

The special Jonin spat out a beam of flame from his mouth and shot it toward Chiba.

Qianyu finished forming the hand seals and placed her hands in front of her mouth.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

After gathering chakra in her throat, Chiba spewed a huge fireball forward from her mouth.

The special Jonin's flame merged directly into the fireball, which continued to hurtle towards him.

The special jonin immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge Senba's Great Fireball.

Chiyu then turned her attention to the remaining two Cloud Ninja.

The two Cloud Ninja noticed that Chiyu's gaze was on them, and seeing Chiyu's scarlet Sharingan, their hearts trembled.

Seeing Qianyu charging towards them, the two Cloud Ninja immediately raised their swords to prepare for a counterattack.

To their surprise, their ninja swords unexpectedly struck Chiba's body smoothly.

However, the blade did not provide any feedback indicating that it had struck their bodies, and Chiyu's body became extremely illusory.

Suddenly, both men felt a sharp pain in their necks, and blood gushed from their necks. They clutched their necks and fell from the tree trunk into the sea of ​​fire.

Chiba's spinning Sharingan stopped.

Now there's only one special Jonin left.

The elite ninja hid in the dense canopy of trees, not daring to even breathe loudly.

The battle didn't last long, and out of the seven-man squad, only he survived.

His mission has failed, and he has no choice but to retreat.

Chapter 71 Breakout

Chiba killed seven Cloud Ninjas, leaving only one special Jonin.

Just as the special Jonin was about to escape, Chiba's voice came from behind him.

"Trying to escape? How can you face the sacrifices of your comrades?"

The special ninja's pupils contracted sharply. When did he get behind him? And just now when he looked, he was clearly still there...

It's a clone technique!

After acquiring Observation Haki, Chiba knew exactly where this special Jonin was hiding.

The special jonin immediately raised his sword to counterattack Chiba, but Chiba's ninja sword had already pierced through the back of his head, killing him.

After Chiyu drew her ninja sword and shook off the filth, she sheathed it and rejoined the main force.

Upon seeing Chiyu return, the Konoha ninjas who had been following Chiyu's shadow clones all breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that Qianyu is their leader, it makes them feel very insecure to have them follow a shadow clone.

When Chiba returned, he discovered that Minato Namikaze and the five ninjas he had taken with him had not yet rejoined the team.

Using her Observation Haki, Chiba sensed that four of the seven Cloud Ninjas had already been killed by Minato Namikaze's team, and two of her own ninjas were injured.

Based on his perception, Minato Namikaze should be able to take care of the remaining three Cloud Ninja, but the battle seems to be at a stalemate in order to protect the two injured ninja.

Chiba stopped using Observation Haki to observe Minato Namikaze and continued leading the team forward.

The mission has been assigned. Regardless of the outcome of the battle between Minato Namikaze and the three Cloud Ninja, the Cloud Ninja's pursuit has failed this time.

He can't control what happens to Minato Namikaze's team, nor will he care.

Because the objective has been achieved.

About an hour later.

Minato Namikaze has finally returned to the team, but of the five ninjas he brought with him, only four remain.

The two ninjas who were injured when Chiba sensed them are still alive; the one who died was one of the other three ninjas.

It seems they were dragged down.

After reporting to Chiba in a low voice that the seven Cloud Ninja had been dealt with, Minato Namikaze silently returned to his group.

He looked very disappointed.

Chiyu twitched the corner of her mouth and ignored Minato Namikaze.

In order to protect two injured companions, another companion died.

It seems like they made a profit, but in reality, they suffered a huge loss.

Because those two injured ninjas were no longer capable of fighting.

Moreover, in the ensuing battle, Minato Namikaze also had to protect the two injured ninjas, which meant he was carrying two burdens.

Sacrificing a capable ninja for two incapable ones is incredibly foolish.

"Ha, is this the bond between comrades? Luckily, I don't have one."

Qianyu let out a mocking laugh and continued to lead the team forward.

...

As veterans of the Second Shinobi World War with extensive combat experience, Orochimaru and Jiraiya were perfectly at home in this forest full of obstacles.

Faced with the pursuing Cloud Ninja, Orochimaru and Jiraiya, relying solely on their extensive combat experience, managed to halt their advance.

However, the number of Cloud Ninja in the Land of Hot Springs is extremely large.

The Cloud Ninja stationed in the surrounding area have gradually gathered together. Facing the unexplored road ahead, they directly use ninjutsu to clear the hidden traps on the road and move forward.

The Cloud Ninja's pursuit speed increased significantly.

At the same time, Cloud Ninjas from all directions pursued and surrounded Senba's main force.

Chiba's Observation Haki clearly sensed the dire situation, so a decision needed to be made.

The retreat has now lasted for almost 22 hours.

It will take at least 14 hours before they can meet up with the reinforcements arriving from Konoha.

After calmly considering the situation for a moment, Chiyu gave the order: "All ninjas! Disarm your shadow clones and clones! Lead the charge and follow me to break out of the encirclement!"

Chiba reported the current situation and his decision to break out of the Cloud Ninja's encirclement to Orochimaru through Snake.

Given the current situation, maintaining shadow clones and clones is pointless.

Because once the encirclement is formed, the Cloud Ninja will discover that so many of them are actually in disguise.
