Chapter 230 Berserker

"Shisui." Hiruzen Sarutobi took a dry puff of his pipe, gazing into the distance at Kirigakure, hidden in the darkness.

Do you think I'll still have a chance to enjoy my retirement?

The handsome, short-haired boy scratched his head:

"Probably...maybe? If nothing unexpected happens, we can go back after this war is over."

"You're quite honest, lad, at least you know how to use the word 'probably'," the old man said with a chuckle.

"If it were Orochimaru, he would definitely make a bunch of empty promises. Heh, don't be fooled by his aloof demeanor, he's actually quite wicked."

When his former boss complained about his current boss, Uchiha Shisui couldn't agree and could only stand there with a wry smile.

"However, the other side really has no other options." Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of white smoke.

"What a pity, I never expected that the first major ninja village to be destroyed would be Kirigakure..."

……

Meanwhile, less than a mile from Konoha's frontline command center, Hyuga Yoru stared blankly into the darkness in the distance.

Like Konoha, Kirigakure also has a sensory barrier. However, Kirigakure's barrier releases a large amount of water vapor, obscuring the village in thick fog, making it resemble a giant mirage swallowing clouds.

But now, the Konoha and Kirigakure ninjas standing on either side of "Tiger-Eating Mountain" know that soon, Kirigakure, which has existed for fifty-seven years, will be conquered by the Konoha army and become history.

With the destruction of Tiger-Eating Mountain, the road to Kirigakure will be wide open and unobstructed. There may be fierce street battles within the village, but compared to the great achievement of destroying Kirigakure, those sacrifices will be worthwhile.

"team leader."

Just then, a female voice rang out behind Hyuga Yoru:

"The commander-in-chief has convened a strategic meeting, and all Chunin captains are required to attend."

"Okay." Hyuga Yoru nodded slightly, gave a few instructions, and then went to the operations center.

After verifying their identities, Hyuga Yoru stood in a corner. There were quite a few people in the room, including nearly fifty Uchiha clan members with black hair and black eyes. This was an elite meeting that only Chunin captains were qualified to attend, which showed the extent to which the Sharingan could enhance combat power.

The Uchiha clan played a crucial role in Konoha's triumphant advance in the "Battle of Water and Fire," fighting their way to the gates of Kirigakure.

[Frontline Commander-in-Chief] Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in the center, with [Anbu Chief] Shisui Uchiha standing to one side. On the other side were [Red Bone] Ruri Mochizuki and Vice Commander Shinno Aburame, as well as Itachi Uchiha, who was a year older than Yoru Hyuga. Behind them were more than a dozen highly respected core Jonin. The fighting force that Konoha had gathered at Mount Shihu was enough to flatten the current Kirigakure. From the high-end to the low-end, they could easily control them.

After Hyuga Yoru entered, many ninjas glanced at him, seemingly casually. As the first Byakugan survivor to rise to fame after the Hyuga clan was destroyed, Hyuga Yoru was always the subject of scrutinizing and curious gazes, which the nine-year-old boy was already used to.

"Ahem." Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed twice to suppress the whispers and said calmly:

"Attack Tiger-Eating Mountain in five hours. The assault force must enter Fog Shadow before dawn tomorrow."

A single, understated sentence has sealed the fate of Kirigakure.

The room was completely silent, filled with a heavy, murderous aura. Through his pure white eyes, Hyuga Yoru could see that the blood of many ninjas was flowing a fraction faster.

The boy's muscles tensed up unconsciously, also caught up in the atmosphere.

"Shisui, you devise the tactics."

The short-haired boy responded to Hiruzen Sarutobi, then unrolled the scroll and announced the marching route he had prepared long ago.

The operational meeting lasted less than ten minutes. Each team was assigned to the most appropriate position. Hyuga Yoru walked out with the crowd and gathered his squad.

Besides Hyuga Yoru, the team also includes genin Sarutobi Kyusaku and genin Uchiha Natsuki, both of whom are a little older than Hyuga Yoru and just graduated from the Ninja Academy this year.

The composition of the squad reveals that Hyuga Yoru's team has a "gilded" nature. The members are all from ninja clans and were formed into a team on the eve of the decisive battle against Kirigakure. As long as they don't die, they can add a brilliant chapter to their resumes.

"Captain Yoru." Sarutobi Kyusaku and Uchiha Natsuki were both quite respectful, after all, Yoru was famous for challenging people of different grades when he was in the Ninja Academy, and the two knew how powerful he was.

"Rest here for four hours." Hyuga Yoru handed a hand-drawn map to two subordinates:

"This is the attack route. Burn it after you finish reading it. We belong to the Second Front Force. Our captain is Lady Ruri. Her combat style is very... direct. Remember to prepare medical kits and put your ration pills in your mouths beforehand."

"Yes, Captain!" The two genin took the map and silently recited it in front of Hyuga Yoru.

Time passed slowly, and four hours later, Hyuga Yoru led two subordinates toward the assembly point. A dozen minutes later, all the ninjas of the Second Front Force had arrived.

It was past midnight, and the bright moon hung high in the sky. A girl with long white hair, wearing green armor, stood at the front of the group. She didn't say anything, but simply leaned lazily against a tree trunk with her arms crossed, closing her eyes and concentrating.

For ninjas, the so-called front-line troops don't actually have many sophisticated tactics. To sum it up, it's just a matter of following the leader and charging forward.

In the silent wait, a rustling sound rose from the forest. The assault force, spearheaded by Uchiha Shisui, set off, followed by the ranged attack force, special tactics force, and the first frontal combat force...

boom!

Suddenly, the towering Tiger-Eating Mountain erupted with dazzling flames, and thick smoke carrying the stench of blood billowed up, clearly visible even from the Konoha camp several kilometers away.

"kill!"

Mochizuki Ruri spoke coldly and suddenly followed the vanguard, with all her subordinates, including Hyuga Yoru, also charging forward.

The boy formed a hand seal with one hand, veins bulging at the corners of his eyes, his 360-degree field of vision unfolding without any blind spots, allowing him to see everything clearly.

—After the calamity that befell Hyuga, apart from the few pregnant women, none of the children had the caged bird tattoo on their foreheads.

One kilometer, five hundred meters, three hundred meters, one hundred meters... Higashiya silently counted as he and his comrades rushed into the battlefield.

The battle at Mount Shihu quickly escalated into a fierce contest as soon as it broke out. The ninjas from Konoha and Kirigakure were like two liquids merging together, and were divided into small teams by the enemy.

"Go to hell!"

With a loud shout, Wang Yue Liuli's white hair danced wildly like flames. She pressed one hand to the ground, and hundreds of bone spikes pierced the earth in a bundle, impaling all enemies within fifty meters in front of her until they died. Blood gushed down, instantly staining the white bones crimson.

[Red Bone], this is the girl's current name. Nicknames in the ninja world are always fitting, and Mochizuki Ruri's frenzied fighting style is worthy of this title.

"Damn it, she's Mochizuki Ruri!"

"Our Kirigakure's bloodline limit, damn Konoha..."

"Kill her! These thieves will all go to hell!"

Facing the Hidden Mist Village, Mochizuki Ruri seemed to unleash a taunting skill, with countless ninjutsu flying towards her, greatly relieving the pressure on the other Konoha ninjas.

"Hahaha... You want to kill me? After today, I will be the only one left in the world with the Corpse Bone Clan!" The white-haired girl laughed wildly, her arrogance boundless.
