Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swordsmen Begins from the Hidden Cloud Village.

"The Flying Thunder God Guides Thunder!"

A huge ritual formation expanded, quickly swallowing the Tailed Beast Ball, and using the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer it outside the camp.

Although the distance was not far, at least I got out.

"boom!"

Two huge balls of light exploded and expanded rapidly, shattering everything in their paths. Nothing could withstand such power.

However, this was not the end. The violent airflow generated by the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball caused the clouds in the sky to roll and rub violently, generating more electric currents, which were then pulled down by the Thunder God's clone, turning the entire Konoha camp into a sea of ​​thunder and lightning.

Yeyue Ai and others were also dealing with the fierce attack from Yute Xi Zixiao and others to prevent them from coming over to interfere with the Thunder God's lightning induction.

Even if Might Day opened the seventh gate and rushed over, it would still be difficult to break through the defense line.

And with the little Ten-Tails supplying chakra, the Thunder God clone can be maintained almost indefinitely.

This made everyone despair. Are they going to die here?

The opponent was too strong, and he had the power of lightning. There were also two tailed beast jinchuriki in the distance launching tailed beast balls. They were simply not able to contend with him.

Chapter 223: Digging a River Channel

"Watergate!"

Jiraiya once again squeezed out the chakra from his body to restore the lava giant, and called out to his disciples.

That's the only trick I can use.

After hesitating for a moment, Minato Namikaze performed the Flying Thunder God Technique and left, raising his hands at a distance and quickly condensing the Tailed Beast Ball.

As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and with the support of the Nine-Tails, he can naturally condense the Tailed Beast Ball.

This was also mastered not long ago. Although it can only be condensed when the Yin Seal Chakra is released and the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode is entered, it is enough to become a killer.

After a few seconds, a small tailed beast ball with a diameter of three meters condensed into shape. Namikaze Minato returned with the Flying Thunder God Technique, threw a kunai at the huge Susanoo, and rushed forward with the tailed beast ball.

Although the size of this tailed beast ball is not large, it is enough to blow up Susanoo.

It exploded instantly before it made contact, and he also dodged with the help of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"boom!"

A strong light burst out, and the violent impact force caused Susanoo to stagger.

At the same time, Jiraiya controlled the lava giant to attack.

Uchiha Hikaru in Susanoo frowned slightly, and while controlling Susanoo to resist the lava giant, he looked at Tamura Hao.

She now has to protect the Thunder God's clone from attracting lightning attacks, and cannot use the Flying Thunder God Technique, otherwise the connection with the lightning in the clouds will be disconnected, and it will take a long time to reconnect.

Tamura Hao controlled the Thor's clone to take out a whistle and blew it, and a sharp and piercing sound spread.

Ye Yue Ai and his companions who were fighting nearby immediately abandoned their opponents and returned to Susanoo. At the same time, the Thunder God's clone pulled the lightning in the thunderclouds and quickly gathered them together. Finally, it turned into a thunder dragon and shot down, hitting Jiraiya and the lava giant.

Struck by such violent and massive lightning, the lava giant's upper body was instantly shattered.

If Minato Namikaze had not realized that something was wrong and used Flying Thunder God to take Jiraiya away immediately, he would have been killed by this blow.

"Konoha ninja, I advise you to leave, otherwise such raids will happen frequently in the future."

After controlling the Thunder God's clone and saying this, Uchiha Hikaru used the Flying Thunder God Technique and left with Susanoo and everyone else.

With the Ten-Tails supplying chakra through the Eight Thousand Spears, the Flying Thunder God Technique can be used however you want.

Of course, this could not be shown. After teleporting away, Uchiha Guang lay on someone's back with a pale face, and hugged his neck tightly with his arms to prevent him from being thrown off.

But Tiancun Hao would not tolerate such a bad habit. He used brute force to pry the slender arms apart, and then carried them on his shoulders like a sack.

"Stingy!"

Uchiha Hikaru, whose posture was forced to change, complained but did not move, allowing someone to carry him and run like this.

Not to mention Tamura Hao and others who returned here, Jiraiya and others on the other side looked at the messy camp, the corpses and wounded everywhere, and felt extremely annoyed and hateful in their hearts.

"How many casualties were there?"

Sitting on a rock, Jiraiya asked about the casualties with a sullen face.

They had been on guard against a sudden attack by the coalition forces of the four villages, and had guessed that the other side might use the Flying Thunder God Technique, but they did not expect that the other side had the means to summon such a large-scale thunder. This was the key to their defeat today.

The thunder and lightning that fell from the sky prevented them from taking advantage of numbers, resulting in heavy losses.

"Two thousand people have been confirmed dead, all of them Chunin. The injuries are not serious and they will recover after a period of rest."

Yutarai Zixiao was silent for a moment and gave a rough number. The specific number is still being counted, and the current focus is on treating the wounded.

"Just take care of the injuries and we will retreat to a place without clouds."

Looking up at the gloomy sky, Jiraiya knew he couldn't stay here any longer.

That kind of thunderous attack was too unsolvable. Even if they built fortifications underground, it might not be of any use. Furthermore, there was no way they could resist the launched Tailed Beast Balls.

They must retreat, otherwise they will suffer heavy losses the next time the enemy attacks.

"I'll make arrangements!"

Yuteshi Zixiao nodded and quickly left to carry out the task.

"What did you find again?"

Jiraiya's heart sank when he suddenly saw his disciple and Nara Shikaku walking towards him quickly.

Any bad discoveries?

"Master Jiraiya, there must be a reason why they took a long detour and landed from the west. Today's raid seemed more like they were trying to drive us back. There must be something wrong. We must intensify our efforts to investigate."

Nara Shikaku spoke his guesses very quickly. Although it was just a guess, he was very sure that there was a big problem.

"Can you determine what the other party's conspiracy is?"

It is best to determine the other party's plan, otherwise there is no way to defend against or target it.

"There is too little intelligence to analyze. I'm afraid we can only know when they reveal themselves."

Nara Shikaku was helpless. This was beyond his knowledge and he couldn't figure out what the other party was going to do no matter how hard he tried.

"Minato, please work harder."

Jiraiya still took this seriously and looked at his own disciple.

If the Hidden Mist Village really has a conspiracy here, they will definitely take precautions. Sending others there would be just sending themselves to death. Only Minato, who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, can move forward and backward freely.

"Ok!"

Namikaze Minato took the order and left quickly.

"Lu Jiu, you are very good, but your age limits your growth. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Looking at the boy whose eyes were bloodshot again, Jiraiya said something comforting.

"I'll think about it again."

Nodding, Nara Shikaku left holding the map he had been holding in his hand.

He knew that the secret must be hidden in this map, but he couldn't tell what it was at the moment.

After resting for a while, Jiraiya got up and found Hatake Sakumo.

"Sakumo-senpai, can you break the Thunder God's ninjutsu that summons thunder?"

That kind of thunder was too exaggerated, whether it was the countless falling thunders in the first half or the thunder dragon at the end, they were all extremely terrifying.

This is the first time that Thor has used this method since the war began.

Senior White Fang is the strongest Lightning Release ninja in Konoha, and should be able to understand that method better.

Hatake Sakumo thought for a moment and replied, "The principle is very simple, it is to integrate the lightning attribute chakra into the thundercloud, so as to resonate with the lightning in the thundercloud, and finally pull it down.

Theoretically, as long as another kind of chakra is injected into the thundercloud, suppressing the opponent's chakra can interfere with this ninjutsu.

But this requires an extremely large amount of chakra, and one must cultivate the nature of lightning attributes to the limit, and even transform into that special black and gold lightning escape."

He knew the principles behind this ninjutsu, but he couldn't crack it, and it would be useless even if he knew it.

When it comes to the use of lightning escape techniques, the Hidden Cloud Village is the strongest in the ninja world.

My strongest skill is swordsmanship, followed by lightning escape, which is a little worse than others.

Lightning Release himself only practiced the nature change to the limit, and did not break through the limit to transform into the black and golden lightning like the Third Raikage, the young man, and the Thunder God.

Even the changes in nature cannot be avoided, let alone the chakra that covers such a large area of ​​thunderclouds.

"Thor, it's really Thor!"

Jiraiya scratched his head in annoyance. Only now did he understand the true meaning of the name of the Thunder God. Such a being was truly like a god. No wonder the Third Raikage would accept him as his disciple.

Seeing that there was no way to break the spell, the Konoha Ninja Army could only retreat more than 300 kilometers. They breathed a sigh of relief only after they had escaped from the rainy and cloudy area, and then quickly set up a camp for repairs.

After the Konoha Ninja Army retreated and set up a camp, the four-village coalition officially started the work of digging the river.

The three thousand Rock Ninjas, who had been fat and strong these days, were divided into ten teams, each with three hundred people. They took turns cutting the soil and rocks using the underground river as the foundation, and condensed them into huge hollow balls that fell on the underground river. With the help of the impact force and buoyancy of the water flow in the river, they pushed those hollow stone balls to roll quickly into the sea.

Three thousand ninja soldiers worked in shifts, digging non-stop for 24 hours a day at an astonishing speed. In one day, they dug out a ten-kilometer river channel, and the width reached an astonishing 300 meters.

"At this rate, it will be completed in three or four months."

Looking at the ten-kilometer-long river channel that had been excavated, Karuju Yagura was very excited.

As long as this river channel is successfully excavated, they can use it as a foundation to build a defense line, resist the attacks of Konoha and the Land of Fire, and completely occupy this place.

This is my own achievement, and no one will be able to say anything when I succeed the position of Mizukage in the future.

We can even start a war to capture the island countries in the sea behind. The teacher is old and does not have enough energy to support such a large-scale war, so naturally he has to do it himself.

With all these achievements, he could surely become the greatest Mizukage of all time.

Of course, he did not get carried away, as he was well aware that the basis for all this was to defeat Konoha and even destroy it.

Otherwise, the presence of Konoha would inevitably interfere with their capture of the southern waters.

"Didn't you induce Namite Dai to use the Death Gate before?"

Tongcao Yebairen walked up to Tamura Hao and asked, paying more attention to Might Dai. After knowing that Might Dai was sent to this front line, he knew that the other party was their biggest threat.

"No."

Tamura Hao shook his head slightly. He had seen Might Dai being persuaded and stopped by Nara Shikaku before, but he did not interfere or provoke him.

At that time, Might Dai was indeed not suitable for opening the Death Gate and fighting to the death.

They all knew very well that the Four Village Alliance was only a cooperation in interests and would eventually become enemies.

Not to mention that the Hidden Cloud Village also has plans for unification. What they most hope to see is that Konoha and the other three major ninja villages suffer mutual losses, rather than simply destroying Konoha.

Might Dai is Konoha's biggest trump card. It would be a shame if he died meaninglessly.

"Then the real test begins."

Turning his head and looking to the north, Tongkusa Yaito knew that Konoha would soon send people to attack.

Neither Konoha nor the Fire Country Daimyo would tolerate the loss of this peninsula, nor would they allow the third line of defense to get out of control.

Once this peninsula is taken by their Hidden Mist Village, the nature of this Ninja World War will completely change and become a war of annihilation against Konoha and the Land of Fire.

The power that Konoha will unleash next will definitely be terrifying, and they must resist it, otherwise the strategy here will be difficult to carry out.

"Has the secret passage entrance been arranged?"

Tamura Hao asked, the waterway was of vital importance and could not be lost.

"There are ninjas from the Hoshigaki clan in charge, and we have dug hundreds of waterway entrances around. As long as there is one, the water flow will not be cut off."

The wild bait man replied that they had made a perfect arrangement in this regard.

The ninjas of the Hoshigaki family have a special body structure that allows them to survive in water for a long time. No one can be their opponent in the water.

Not to mention that the Hoshigaki family also has a psychic contract with the shark group, and can summon a large number of sharks, which is enough to ensure that nothing can go wrong.

After communicating for a while, Tongcao Yebairen walked towards Gouju Yagura and whispered.

"I don't like this weather."

Ye Cang came over holding an umbrella. It was drizzling and the air was very humid, which greatly affected the performance of his Burning Escape.
