The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

"Well!?"

One after another, figures were blown into the air, limbs severed, blood splattered everywhere. This time, unlike the previous ninja tool assault, at least a thousand Konoha members were either killed or injured in this bombardment of explosive tags.

The proportion of those killed in battle was as high as half.

It can be said that this was before the battle officially began.

The Konoha ninjas had already paid a terrible price.

At this moment.

Both Jiraiya, who had just dodged the explosive tag attack in the front, and Shikaku, who was commanding from the back, wore very unpleasant expressions.

It's not because we've never encountered this kind of warfare before.

The reason is that the initial sensing and reconnaissance methods simply failed to detect the corresponding detonation tags buried.

This thing needs chakra to be channeled to detonate.

If you say you missed some, I can understand.

With so many explosive tags, not a single one was found?

Are all the sensory ninjas in our village just sitting around doing nothing?! Are they all neglecting their duties? The answer is obviously no, so there's only one explanation: the enemy used some new method they'd never encountered before, or the buried explosive tags themselves were faulty!

Shikaku was deep in thought with a very serious expression.

In fact, Shikaku was not wrong.

While ordinary explosive tags can be concealed by being buried deep, the distance is too great and the burial depth is too great, making it difficult to trigger the detonation technique. Moreover, any ninja with strong sensory abilities can still detect them.

That's why.

In large-scale warfare.

Explosive tags are really hard to escape the search of ninjas who specialize in sensory techniques. Once one is discovered, it is easy to discover a whole bunch of them.

Therefore, in large-scale battles, there are almost no examples of planting explosive tags in advance and having them work. No leader of any ninja village is a fool. They might fall for a trap, but such a basic mistake is absolutely impossible.

Menma achieved this by specially processing these explosive tags a month in advance. This enhanced their detonation capabilities and ensured that no chakra fluctuations could be easily detected even when they were not detonated.

Unless it's a game of Minesweeper, where the investigation is meticulously carried out step by step, the 'Minesweeper array' specially configured by Mianma is impossible for anyone to detect.

And under such bombardment.

The enormous blow caused.

Within the stronghold.

He could clearly detect the chakra auras that disappeared rapidly at the same time, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in Menma's eyes.

This result has completely met expectations.

"continue!"

This is a definite geographical advantage.

Before the final collision.

Shouldn't we make full use of the hemp fiber?

"put!"

"burst!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"

"Boom!"

Another wave of cold light assaulted the area, along with cannons of different calibers emerging from various corners, firing shell after shell. Although most of them were ordinary cannons, with only a small portion being chakra cannons filled with special techniques, their alternating use still inflicted significant damage on the attacking Konoha ninjas.

It can be said that these things are all the result of Mianma's hard work.

Menma clearly understands that Takigakure, which is at a complete disadvantage in terms of resources and foundation, must find ways to narrow the gap with the five great ninja villages as much as possible, including in terms of equipment and technology.

This is the most direct and reliable way to enhance the strength of the ninja village in a short period of time.

Chapter 326 The Swift Bombardment at the Beginning

This war also perfectly illustrates this point.

Menma's arrangements fully utilized his geographical advantages, and the Konoha ninjas who were constantly dying or groaning in pain from serious injuries could not stir any emotion in Menma's heart.

He had understood the cruelty of war long ago.

Dealing with enemies.

Menma will not show even a trace of mercy, because that would be cruel to his own comrades.

An undeniably disadvantageous situation.

Even so.

Jiraiya was still stuck on one path, leading the Konoha ninjas in a surprise attack on a nearby stronghold.

This is a battle to completely wipe out the forces of Takigakure.

No matter how heavy the price, it doesn't matter.

"Spread your wings, prepare the spell!"

In the rear, Shikaku calmly directed his comrades at the front to change formation, preparing to launch the first wave of attack on the stronghold.

"Fukasaku Sennin, Shima Sennin!"

"Ah, we know, little Jiraiya!"

Soaring to the extreme speed.

These ninja tool attacks were swiftly dodged and forcefully withstood.

At a certain distance, the transparent barrier that envelops the entire stronghold becomes clearly visible.

This is a bright, defensive barrier set up by Mianma.

With a deep shout from Jiraiya.

The two old toads from Mount Myōboku on his shoulders also clapped their hands in unison the moment Jiraiya completed his technique.

"Sage Art - Fire Release - Goemon Technique!"

A massive, blazing tide of flames appeared out of nowhere, carrying a terrifying aura, and surged toward the transparent barrier.

Fire Release enhanced by Sage Chakra.

Furthermore, it is enhanced by the different techniques of two toad sages from Mount Myōboku.

It already possesses power comparable to, or even surpassing, that of a typical S-rank forbidden technique.

"Boom!"

At the moment it directly struck the barrier.

"Crack!"

Beyond the level visible to the naked eye.

The transparent glass barrier also developed an obvious crack in the next second.

The moment Menma saw it, his eyes also narrowed.

Although it was clear that this was only a temporary setup and not the highest level of defensive barrier, Jiraiya was still able to cause such damage with a single strike.

Mianma's heart also tensed up.

"Fire escape!"

"Lei Dun!"

"Water Escape"

"Earth Escape."

And just as Jiraiya launched his attack, other Konoha ninjas also launched a surprise attack from the rear.

They all formed hand seals one after another, and the resulting offensive ninjutsu were at least B-rank or higher.

"Boom!"

It also bombarded the outer defensive barrier with incredible speed.

"Peng!"

"Peng!"

"Boom!"

The attack intensity was too much to withstand; this defensive barrier had already reached its limit. The next second...

"Splash!"

Just as another small fireball suddenly struck it, accompanied by a loud shattering sound of glass breaking.

"Boom!"

The defensive barrier specially constructed by the layer of hemp outside the stronghold was directly and forcefully shattered.

The first barrier lifted.

The subsequent Konoha ninjas, under Shikaku's command from a more rear position, converged from three sides and pressed forward with immense pressure.

However, this seems to be the first tactical objective achieved.

But ultimately, a certain price was paid.

During the time before the barrier was broken, under Menma's command, the Takigakure ninjas unleashed a barrage of shuriken, kunai, and explosive tags, causing the deaths and injuries of hundreds of Konoha ninjas.

The first step was to eliminate a portion of Konoha's remaining forces.

And it completely met the pre-war expectations of Menma.

"Dorashi!"

At this moment, the moment the barrier was broken.
