Not only was the Rain Ninja team wiped out, but Hanzo's pressure also prompted the three Konoha Sannin to break through, adding three more Kage-level powerhouses to Konoha. With this shift in power, Rain Ninja suffered a huge loss.
Uchiha Kiyoshi played a crucial role in this incident, successfully rescuing the Konoha ninja forces and, with the help of numerous medical ninjas, curing Hanzo's poison. Hundreds of ninjas were saved from death, including one Jonin and five Special Jonin. For this alone, Uchiha Kiyoshi's contribution is equivalent to ten A-rank missions.
Furthermore, the complete annihilation of over two hundred Rain Ninja troops, most of whom were personally killed by Uchiha Kiyoshi, was another great achievement, surpassing even the achievements of three S-rank missions.
Uchiha Kiyoshi was also the ninja who made the greatest contribution in this incident, besides the three Sannin who joined forces to resist Hanzo.
Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't rush to choose a reward, but instead recorded all these merits for the time being.
Hanzo has personally led a raid on Konoha's forces, so the situation in the Land of Rain is definitely not ideal, and the decisive battle is not far away.
It is estimated that the decisive battle between the Land of Rain and the three great powers will break out in less than a month.
At that time, Uchiha Kiyoshi will definitely make a great contribution, so it's better to claim the reward together then.
......
Twenty days later.
As Uchiha Kiyoshi had predicted, Amegakure launched a decisive battle against Konoha.
Tens of thousands of ninjas gathered, creating a spectacular scene—a vast, dark mass of people.
As a Jonin, Uchiha Kiyoshi did not mingle with the main army, but instead stood on the front line of the battlefield with other Jonin.
Standing atop the salamander, Hanzo looked down at the army of ninjas below, drew his sword, and slashed down.
Orochimaru and Tsunade naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch this strike fall on a Konoha ninja.
They both managed to block the attack.
The war had begun silently.
Orochimaru and Tsunade faced off against Hanzo. Although they had broken through their limits, they were still at a disadvantage when they joined forces.
It wasn't until the frontline commander-in-chief, Senju Taku, joined the fray that the two sides managed to maintain a balance.
Senju Taku, an elder of the Senju clan, is a veteran elite Jonin-level ninja. He possesses the Senju clan's Sage Body and has an enormous amount of chakra, an advantage that is enough to influence battles between Kage-level ninjas.
The war was going to last a long time, and Uchiha Kiyoshi wisely chose to conserve his strength and chakra, instead of unleashing his full power right away.
Of course, it's not as bad as openly slacking off.
Uchiha Kiyoshi chose an elite Jonin from Amegakure and held him back, preventing him from harming the Konoha ninja.
Each of Konoha's Jonin also sought out their respective Rain Ninja to engage in battles of equal strength, in order to prevent higher-level combatants from slaughtering lower-level ninjas.
What Uchiha Kiyoshi is most worried about now is Hanzo's poison. Once that giant salamander releases its poison, the entire Konoha army will be affected.
That potent toxin is difficult to neutralize.
A while ago, the Konoha ninjas that Uchiha Kiyoshi saved were all poisoned by him using the Fine Extraction Technique, leaving only a very small amount of the poison that could not be extracted, and they endured it.
Twenty days later, Tsunade did study Hanzo's poison after returning, but Hanzo's poison was not prepared like that of the Sand Ninja. Instead, it was the toxin naturally present in the Salamander. The problem was not that it was mixed, but that it was of high quality. The toxicity was extremely strong, and the antidote was even more difficult to cure.
In addition, due to the short time available, no corresponding antidote was developed; only a drug that could temporarily suppress the effects of the toxin was created.
This drug cannot completely eliminate the effects; poisoned ninjas will still be affected during combat.
Therefore, Konoha can only pray that Hanzo won't use poison.
Fortunately, the salamander is currently entangled with Manda and slugs, making it difficult for it to poison the Konoha ninja army.
The battlefield was like a giant meat grinder, reaping the lives of one ninja after another.
One hour.
Two hours.
......
Ten hours have passed.
Maintaining a high level of tension, ninjas except those at the Jonin level or above began to tire and made frequent mistakes.
Because of their extensive training, the Jonin have developed extremely strong mental fortitude, and they can go for days and nights without sleep without feeling tired. They can still persevere now.
However, while one may be able to maintain mental strength, their chakra reserves may not be sufficient.
A battle that lasted a full ten hours—not everyone has Uchiha Kiyoshi's recovery ability.
Over this long period of time, Uchiha Kiyoshi has figured out the tactics of this elite Jonin.
He activated his Sharingan and formed hand seals.
Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique
He spat out dozens of balls of flame, imbued with the burning properties of Uchiha Kiyoshi at a mid-level, making them extremely lethal.
Even during his time as a genin, Uchiha Kiyoshi had demonstrated exceptional skill in using ninjutsu. At this moment, under Uchiha Kiyoshi's control, the Phoenix Flower Technique did not fly directly towards the opposing Amegakure ninja.
Instead, it was a part of the continuous bombing.
The remaining flames, under Uchiha Kiyoshi's control, appeared one after another in the path of the Rain Ninja's ninjutsu, forcibly changing the direction of these attacks with a violent explosion.
Uchiha Kiyoshi seized the opportunity to rush forward and formed hand seals to activate a mutated version of the Earth Spear - the Pistol Technique.
(A homemade gun extends directly from the arm, don't get me wrong...)
It's much shorter overall, but it's easier to swing around.
Uchiha Kiyoshi thrust his right hand straight at the face of the Rain Ninja.
Yu Ren used her waist to jerk to the side and dodge.
He was still left with a cut on his chest.
Uchiha Kiyoshi was not disappointed. He swept his right hand and sent his opponent flying.
Despite his severe injuries, Yu Ren immediately retreated over a hundred meters to create distance between them.
Uchiha Kiyoshi's right hand returned to normal, and he formed hand seals again.
"The Art of Ninja Tool Manufacturing"
The dense, earthy kunai appeared and headed towards the Rain Ninja.
At the same time, the ground beneath Yunin's feet trembled violently, making it difficult for her to stand firm.
Rain Ninja is quite capable; she was able to maintain a relative balance even at this time.
When the kunai group was still ten meters away from the Rain Ninja, the ground beneath the Rain Ninja's feet suddenly rose up.
Before they could react, the Rain Ninja were hit by a series of kunai from the air, sustaining several fatal wounds on their bodies.
Fire Release: Flame Bullet
A fiery bullet, brimming with explosive energy, hurtled towards the heavily injured Rain Ninja.
Having dealt with his opponent, Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't hesitate and turned to join the nearest Jonin battlefield.
"Earth Escape - Earth Rising Spear"
The Rain Ninja, who was fighting a Konoha Jonin, was caught off guard and had one of his legs pierced by Uchiha Kiyoshi's Earth Spear.
Before the opponent could react, Uchiha Kiyoshi's kunai flew over, ending the Jonin's life.
The battlefield shifted again, and Uchiha Kiyoshi's surprise attack was not very effective due to the opponent's conscious defense.
But it doesn't matter, Uchiha Kiyoshi isn't entirely expecting to be able to kill Amegakure Jonin multiple times with just this one set of moves.
The Phoenix Fire Technique blocked the opponent's retreat, trapping them in the area where the Earthen Spears were located.
Uchiha Kiyoshi stepped forward, pulled out a spear, and swept it horizontally.
Perhaps because Uchiha Kiyoshi used this tactic so many times, his opponent seemed to have developed countermeasures against it.
Instead of fighting him, the opponent circulated chakra to enhance his physical strength, took a direct hit from the flames, dodged Uchiha Kiyoshi's sweeping attack, and then, disregarding his injuries, used the Body Flicker Technique to escape the battlefield.
Uchiha Kiyoshi initially thought the other party was clever and decisive, but upon seeing the ninjutsu-type Body Flicker Technique the other party used, he secretly sighed and thought the other party was a fool.
Didn't you know that the Instantaneous Movement Technique has a momentary lag?
Using it in such a dangerous situation, aren't you afraid of dying even faster?
With the powerful perception of the three-tomoe jade, Uchiha clearly observed the other party's figure.
Three kunai were released from his hand.
Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't look at the fool again and turned to continue towards the next battlefield.
End of Chapter Ninety-Three
Kiyoshi Uchiha's actions of quickly killing one elite Jonin and two Jonin caught the attention of the Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village).
Before Uchiha Kiyoshi could even reach the next battlefield, three Rain Ninjas had already appeared to block him.
All three are Jonin, and all of them are long-established Jonin.
Sending out three more Jonin at once is not good for the Rain Village.
With the addition of the one Uchiha Kiyoshi just killed, Amegakure has effectively lost one elite Jonin and five Jonin.
Because the three major ninja villages were simultaneously waging war against Amegakure, even though Konoha's strength surpassed Amegakure's, it only dispatched a portion of its forces. On the Land of Wind's side, it was only experiencing a conflict, not a major war, and therefore there had been no large-scale reinforcements.
This time, however, the Rain Ninja were going all in, with Hanzo deploying all the ninjas he could muster.
In this decisive battle, Amegakure held the advantage throughout the early stages.
Salamanders have never shown a particularly strong tendency to release poison, partly due to this reason.
Otherwise, even with the obstruction of ten thousand snakes and slugs, he could still find an opportunity to poison the snakes at the cost of injury.
The difference in troop strength between chuunibyou and genin is not significant; the so-called advantage is actually only in battles at the jonin level.
The number of Jonin in Amegakure exceeds that in Konoha by 30%.
Konoha has 47 Jonin (elite Jonin are also considered Jonin, but special Jonin are not), while Amegakure has about 60, giving Konoha an extra thirteen Jonin combat power.
The fighting power of Jonin must be controlled to prevent them from joining the battlefield of Chunin and Genin and causing a massacre.
This means that Konoha would need thirteen Jonin to take on two Amegakure Jonin each.
With Uchiha Kiyoshi's actions, the pressure on Konoha was greatly reduced.
If we can kill these three Jonin, we will no longer be at a disadvantage in battles between Konoha's Jonin level.
