Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 127 Repelling the Cloud Ninja

The Cloud Ninja stood on the back of the ninja beast.

His gaze was fixed on Uchiha Kin.

The thunder bull beneath his feet was struggling violently, but the more it struggled, the deeper it sank.

Seeing an opportunity, Jin wasn't about to just stand by and watch; he launched an attack.

Darkness rapidly spread towards the Cloud Ninja, quickly enveloping them.

As the Wood Release technique, hidden in the darkness, swiftly pierced through his body.

The Cloud Ninja didn't even put up a fight.

next moment.

His figure vanished as lightning.

Lightning Clone Technique.

As the Cloud Ninja disappeared, the summoning beast also turned into smoke and vanished from the spot.

Jin frowned and withdrew from the darkness, his Sharingan scanning his surroundings.

This area has been destroyed by the Cloud Ninja's attack, turning it into a large flat plain that can be seen at a glance.

There was no trace of the Cloud Ninja in the vicinity.

The other party doesn't seem to be skilled in earth-based techniques.

Then there is only one possibility.

"They ran away?"

"When?"

Throughout their fight, Jin's gaze never left his opponent.

Don't be fooled by the fact that ninjas create one clone after another during a battle. A skilled ninja can quickly detect when their opponent is about to use ninjutsu based on experience and keen eyesight.

If the opponent's ninjutsu has no effect, you can guess that it is a clone technique.

and so.

Even if the opponent uses lightning clones, Jin can detect them immediately.

But as it turned out, he didn't notice anything at all.

"Unless the opponent is charging at you, it doesn't affect the use of ninjutsu."

Jin frowned. The other party was enveloped in lightning, so he couldn't see what they were doing.

He kept staring at the ball of lightning after that.

I originally thought the other party was maintaining the technique.

Although in theory a ninja can maintain multiple ninjutsu at once, the technical skill involved is extremely high, far beyond what can be achieved by simply forming hand seals.

But he didn't think the other party had that ability, otherwise they wouldn't have been fighting him with only ninjutsu and swordsmanship.

However, if the opponent's ninjutsu doesn't require him to maintain it.

If that's the case, then it makes sense.

but.

This was the first time a ninja had suddenly fled after fighting him.

Kim Il-soon hadn't reacted yet.

"My current strength is probably on par with Orochimaru before he acquired basic internal energy."

At least Kim has a deeper understanding of his own abilities.

With this level of strength, he could even fight a powerful figure with the title of Shadow in a head-on confrontation.

We just can't win.

Just then, Jin saw a firework shoot into the sky from the distant forest.

"Whoosh, bang!"

Fireworks exploded in the sky, transforming into the shape of a Cloud Ninja headband.

That place isn't far from him.

Jin used Instant Step to rush towards that direction at high speed.

By the time Jin arrived at the destination, the person had already disappeared.

Pick up a piece of black soil that looks rather out of place from the ground.

"gunpowder."

He looked toward the main battleground.

I wonder how things are there.

White Fang's blade severed Troy's body.

Troy sighed helplessly before he died.

"I don't know if my son can live up to this title."

Only when the previous leader dies will a new leader take over.

Although he ultimately died at White Fang's hands.

But they also successfully stalled White Fang's actions.

The results were just not as ideal as expected.

The Cloud Ninja were stunned by White Fang's overwhelming Haki, and many Cloud Ninja were finished off by Konoha ninja.

Fortunately.

The remaining elite Jonin also suffered considerable losses when facing the Konoha ninja.

A firework exploded in the sky.

All the Cloud Ninja glanced at the sky.

A Cloud Ninja Jonin forms hand seals.

"Thunder Escape! Ten Directions Thunder Field!"

He stretched his hands towards the sky, and the condensed lightning shot up into the air, exploded in mid-air, and fell to the ground, turning into lightning balls that transformed the surrounding area into a lightning domain.

The lightning obscured the vision of the Konoha ninja.

One by one, the Cloud Ninja repelled the Konoha ninjas. Some carried the unconscious Cloud Ninjas into the lightning ball, while others entered alone.

The Konoha Chunin exchanged glances, clearly realizing that their opponents had received a signal to retreat and were therefore choosing to leave.

Everyone looked at White Teeth.

I'm unsure whether to pursue them.

White Fang put his knife away.

This also means that he has no intention of pursuing them.

They watched as the last Cloud Ninja disappeared from sight.

The corpses were left behind.

Many Konoha ninjas were slumped on the ground, while those who were still able to move were collecting the bodies of the Konoha ninjas.

"We have repelled the Cloud Ninja, Lord White Fang."

Uchiha Kin appeared on a higher tree at some unknown time.

The crimson Sharingan was staring at White Fang.

"How about our sacrifice, Lord White Fang?"

White Fang's gaze swept across the scene, revealing that there were more than twenty dead Konoha ninjas.

In a normal war, these quantities wouldn't have much of an impact.

But they had fewer than fifty people, and the number of deaths was a great sacrifice for them.

This sacrifice is equivalent to reducing the number of ninjas by half.

The important question is how to fight the next battle?

White Fang then turned to look at Uchiha Kin.

"The war ahead will depend on you."

He simply passed the buck to Jin; if he had stronger ninjutsu, he could certainly fight.

But if we maintain the status quo, we will be defeated by the Cloud Ninja sooner or later.

"However," White Fang murmured for a moment, "the Cloud Ninja will most likely not send out such a large force again."

"How so?"

Jin was curious; other companies were sending three hundred people directly, so why were they sending fewer and fewer?

White Fang pondered for a moment: "The other side probably also wants to see Konoha's reaction; the Cloud Ninja themselves don't have a strong desire to participate in this battle."

Jin understood.

The Cloud Ninja has 300 ninjas, including two elite Jonin. With that kind of strength, they can fight anywhere.

This fighting force is even comparable to the strength of Orochimaru's team at the beginning.

If Orochimaru hadn't increased his strength, he wouldn't have gained any advantage on the battlefield in the Land of Rain.

If it weren't for White Fang using a mere fifty ninjas to hold them off...

If Konoha wants to deploy troops here, it will have to transfer troops from the other four battlefields.

The Cloud Ninja will inevitably send troops to contain the forces sent by the Leaf Village. With their forces weakened on other fronts, they will naturally gradually enter a crisis.

This is a blatant, overt conspiracy.

But before it could be implemented, they destroyed it.

The Cloud Ninja naturally dared not send any more troops, as this already demonstrated that Konoha was capable of opening up another battlefield.

The Hidden Cloud Village only wants to gain an advantage, not to be completely controlled by the war.

Now that the war has lasted for a year, do the other two ninja villages want to continue fighting?

They dared not stop.

Who knows if the other party will attack immediately if I stop?

"But the other side will also send people to harass us constantly."

If it's just a small group of ninjas harassing them, White Fang is confident he can cut them off.

"I hope the battle ends soon."

White Fang calmly recounted the story of his deceased companion.

But he never expected this.
