Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 48 The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Joins the Battle

Hiruzen Sarutobi in Konoha Village was furious after receiving intelligence from the front lines.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was thoroughly enraged by Kirigakure's attempt to release the Three-Tails within Konoha, and he resolved to teach Kirigakure a lesson!

Despite having made up his mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi still needed to inform the three elders about such a major decision as mobilizing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to the front lines.

Upon receiving the notification and reading the intelligence, Shimura Danzo immediately declared that Kirigakure would pay a bloody price.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi's expressionless face and agreed to send out the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Once an agreement was reached, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately sent someone to convey Kushina's opinion, and Kushina agreed immediately after reviewing the information.

Half an hour later, Kushina secretly left Konoha under the protection of ANBU and Root ninjas, heading to the front lines of Kirigakure.

The journey was uneventful and no accidents occurred, but the escort did not reach the Konoha front-line camp, and neither did Kushina.

The ANBU and Root ninjas returned after being a certain distance from the Konoha front line. Kushina was brought into the Konoha front camp by Minato Namikaze using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

It was done so secretly that, apart from a few people, the other ninjas at the front-line camp had no idea that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had arrived at the front.

Such actions were naturally intended to deceive the spies of Kirigakure, so as to catch Kirigakure off guard!

In order to reduce casualties among Konoha ninjas and allow more ninjas to enjoy peace in the future, under the manipulation of Tsunade and other high-ranking officials, Konoha ninjas began to relax their efforts to exterminate Kirigakure ninjas.

The killing efficiency of ordinary ninjas is far too low compared to that of Jinchuriki. They can make up for it when the Hidden Mist forces gather and bombard them with Tailed Beast Balls, and they can also reduce the casualties of Konoha ninjas. It's a huge win!

A few days later, when the forces had gathered, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, and other high-ranking members of Kirigakure discovered that the number of ninjas returning to camp was 15% more than expected.

This unusual situation left Yagura both surprised and puzzled, but he couldn't figure out why, and felt a vague unease in his heart.

Yagura trusted his intuition and immediately ordered that once the last batch of ninjas returned the next day, they should retreat to the Land of Whirlpools and not linger any longer.

Unfortunately, Konoha did not give Yagura a chance to retreat. After realizing that most of the Kirigakure ninja had gathered together, they launched an attack that afternoon.

Faced with Konoha's attack, Yagura had no choice but to gather his forces to fight back.

The group of Hidden Mist ninja who didn't return is secondary; we can't just retreat without even fighting, can we?

They had already retreated once before, and as a result, they lost the territory of the Land of Fire that they had taken. If they retreated again without a fight, their morale would be even lower, and it would be even more difficult to defend the Land of Whirlpools.

In any case, retreating to the Land of Whirlpools would still mean a major battle with Konoha; it's impossible to simply abandon the Land of Whirlpools without a fight.

Since we're going to have to fight sooner or later, we might as well fight while morale is still high!

Before the battle began, Yagura sent the deputy head of the Anbu to lead a team to bypass the battlefield and infiltrate the rear to gather the Kirigakure ninja who had not yet returned, to be used as a surprise force!

On a small hill a few hundred meters from the Hidden Mist Camp, two figures suddenly appeared on the summit: Minato Namikaze and Kushina.

Because they were within the sensory barrier of the Hidden Mist Camp, the moment the two appeared, they were detected by the sensory ninjas at the Hidden Mist Camp command center.

The sensory ninjas from Kirigakure instantly changed their expressions, their faces filled with terror and their foreheads covered in cold sweat.

"What terrifying chakra!"

"That's Minato Namikaze's chakra and the tailed beast's chakra!"

"Oh no, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"..."

The sensory ninjas in the command center spoke up one after another, and the Fourth Mizukage and other high-ranking members of Kirigakure changed color instantly.

After a slight pause, Yagura immediately issued the order to disperse, but it was too late even if the order was relayed by a sensory ninja.

On the hilltop, Kushina had partially released her seal, transforming into a small tailed beast covered in dark red chakra and with five tails behind her.

A large amount of red and blue chakra appeared in the air. The red was yin chakra and the blue was yang chakra. The two were combined in mid-air in a ratio of 2 to 8, forming ten purple tailed beast balls the size of an infant's fist.

The next moment, ten purple Tailed Beast Balls, each the size of an infant's fist, shot out and landed in the Hidden Mist Camp.

boom!

The ten Tailed Beast Balls landed at different points, but because their flight speeds differed slightly, they exploded at the same time.

The deafening explosion, its sound carrying for dozens of miles, resounded throughout the heavens and the earth. Ten small mushroom clouds rose into the air, and terrifying shockwaves swept in all directions...

The Hidden Mist ninjas near the impact point, regardless of their level, were blasted into nothingness by the Tailed Beast Ball, leaving not a trace. Thick trees were either uprooted or snapped in half. A hurricane swept through, with sand and stones flying everywhere, as if it were the end of the world.

For the Mist Ninja near the point where the Tailed Beast Ball landed, it was the end of the world!

Some of the Mist Ninja were reduced to nothingness before they could even react; some had their internal organs shattered by the shockwave and died bleeding from all seven orifices; and some were blown away by the hurricane, suffering severe injuries and on the verge of death.

These ten small tailed beast balls were replenished by the Hidden Mist ninja who escaped because Konoha held back, and there were even more.

Seeing the flames shooting into the sky in the distance, the Konoha ninjas who were unaware of the situation were stunned.

What's going on?

They haven't launched an attack yet?

Could it be that all the explosive tags stored in Kirigakure exploded at once?

Although Uchiha Gen, who was standing in the crowd, did not know the inside story beforehand, he had already guessed it when he saw the scene.

In this day and age, nothing but the Tailed Beast Ball could cause such a commotion...

"Everyone, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of the village has joined the battle! Seize this opportunity to defeat Kirigakure and end the war!"

Tsunade raised her right arm and shouted.

Standing beside Tsunade, a high-ranking officer on the front lines who knew the inside story raised his right arm and repeated Tsunade's words, his voice carrying a wider range.

The news spread quickly, from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and from a hundred to a few, eventually reaching all the Konoha ninjas who participated in the battle.

"Defeat the Hidden Mist and end the war!"

"Defeat the Hidden Mist and end the war!"

"Defeat the Hidden Mist and end the war!"

"..."

The Konoha ninjas, shouting in unison and with deafening roars, were filled with fervor and unstoppable momentum as they rushed towards the Hidden Mist camp.

At the command center of the Misty Camp, everyone jumped onto the tents to look out. Seeing the ten large craters and the chaotic scene around them, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

"Lord Mizukage, it really is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"And there's Minato Namikaze. Also, the Konoha ninja have launched their attack and will arrive in no more than half a minute."

Kirigakure Jonin Ao activated his Byakugan, looked at the location he sensed, and then scanned the area with his Byakugan, his expression extremely grim.

"Damn it, if only the Three-Tails were still here!"

"The entire army must retreat immediately!"

Yagura's face was grim, and he reluctantly issued the order.

Their chances of winning were already slim, and the appearance of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki dealt a blow that made their chances of winning almost nonexistent. If they continued fighting, they would surely deplete most of Kirigakure's resources.

Huh, huh, huh!

Upon hearing Yagura's order, the Kirigakure ANBU pulled the pin on a signal flare. Bang, bang, bang, three blood-red Kirigakure headbands exploded in mid-air.

This is a signal for an emergency retreat by the Hidden Mist Village. Don't worry about anything, don't want anything, just run.

Upon seeing the blood-red signal in mid-air, the Hidden Mist ninjas turned tail and ran without saying a word.

The ten Tailed Beast Balls that exploded at the Hidden Mist camp shattered the morale of many Hidden Mist ninjas, leaving them with no will to fight.

On the hilltop, seeing the enemy trying to escape, Kushina, transformed into a small tailed beast, unleashed another tail, her yin and yang chakra rapidly converging...
