The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

There was no other choice, the two clans had to leave some ninjas behind to block the pursuing ninjas from Kirigakure.

With almost no hesitation, the older generation of ninjas from both clans all expressed their desire to stay.

In the end, the Snow Clan's patriarch Mizunotsuki Mufu, the Kaguya Clan's patriarch Kaguya Sora, and his younger brother Kaguya Mei, each led half of the ninjas in their clan to stay.

The total number of ninjas from the two tribes who stayed behind to block the enemy was about 400.

However, don't underestimate these two tribes' ninjas, who number only about 400 people. They are all the elite forces of the Hidden Mist!

Although not everyone has awakened their bloodline limits, those who have a good foundation can easily defeat ordinary Kirigakure ninjas. Even if they cannot defeat ten at a time, they can at least defeat two or three at a time.

As for those ninjas from the two clans who have awakened their bloodline limits, they can basically fight one against five or more people.

As for masters at the level of the two clan leaders, fighting one against ten is not their limit. If ordinary Kirigakure ninjas come, they will be killed indiscriminately.

This is the powerful strength of the first three ninja clans of Kirigakure, and also the middle force of Kirigakure!

All in all, the number of Kirigakure ninjas who caught up had reached about a thousand, but they still could not break through the defense line formed by 400 ninjas from the two tribes, and were even suppressed.

The Snow Clan’s ice escape can be used for attack, defense, and control.

The Hyuga clan fights like crazy. They were originally fighting a defensive battle, but before they knew it, many members of the clan became bloodthirsty and rushed back into the Kirigakure army that was pursuing the ninjas.

One after another, the human-shaped bone beasts rushed forward and chased the ninjas. No one could stop them one-on-one. Anyone who was touched would be either killed or injured!

Originally, the situation should have been very good for the two tribes.

As long as they hold on for a while longer, and wait for those ordinary tribesmen to reach the coast and get on the boat, they can retire with their mission accomplished.

However, when the Fourth Mizukage Karutagi Yagura personally caught up and brought his elite Anbu with him, the situation was reversed.

Those who can join the Anbu are all guaranteed in terms of strength. Chunin is just the starting point. If you are a little stronger, there are even elite Jonin.

Faced with the Kage-level strongman Yagura Karatachi and the other Anbu ninjas, the combined forces of the two clans immediately showed signs of defeat, and their members were continuously killed.

Fortunately at this time, Cang Si had arranged a golden eagle to follow in the air in advance, so the situation was temporarily maintained.

However, Gotachibana Yagura's strength is definitely unique on this battlefield.

Although the golden eagle has the ability to fly, it can be restrained for a while.

However, seeing that he was unable to take down the golden eagle for a long time, Karutagi Yagura chose to directly attack the ninjas of the two tribes.

Faced with this situation, the golden eagle could only run around trying to protect the retreat of the two tribes and to stop Goju Yagura's pursuit.

It can be said that the ninjas of the two clans fought and retreated all the way.

The remaining coalition force, which originally numbered nearly 400,

At this moment, the number is less than 200.

In the end, it was Mizunotsuki Mufu + the brothers Kaguya Sora and Kaguya Mei + the Golden Eagle, with the combined power of three elite jonin and a Kage-level summoned beast, who barely managed to stop the Fourth Mizukage Karuta Yagura.

If the war situation continues like this, it would actually be fine.

However, the coalition forces of the two clans have no backup, while on the Kirigakure side, there are still a steady stream of ninjas joining the pursuit force.

It can be said that ever since Karutagi Yagura arrived with the Anbu ninjas, the advantage has slowly been tilting towards Kirigakure.

If there are no major accidents, the remaining 200-odd coalition forces of the two tribes will probably be killed by the pursuing ninjas of Kirigakure soon.

By then, without the elite members of the two tribes who stayed behind to cover their retreat, these Kirigakure's pursuing ninjas would rush forward, and the members of the two tribes in front would definitely be doomed.

However, just when the situation was going well for the Kirigakure side, the Fourth Mizukage, Karotachi Yagura, unexpectedly retreated inexplicably.

These ordinary Kirigakure pursuit ninjas were all confused and didn't understand why the Fourth Mizukage did this.

Do you want to give the two tribes a way out?

Before leaving, Yagura Karuta gave an order to his subordinates to continue the pursuit, otherwise, they would have thought that their Mizukage had changed his mind.

However, after a long battle, the coalition forces of the two tribes were already exhausted, even though the Fourth Mizukage Karuta Yagura withdrew from the battlefield.

However, due to the increasing number of ordinary Kirigakure ninjas, the two clans could only fight and retreat.

Mizunotsuki Mufu and the two brothers Kaguya Sora and Kaguya Mei were seriously injured because they tried to stop Karatachi Yagura.

Now I am just relying on my willpower to hold on.

However, such behavior will undoubtedly cause further harm to their bodies!

In addition to the three of them, the golden eagle was also seriously injured. There were cuts on its abdomen and back caused by the weapon used by Goju Yagura.

That’s not all. During the battle, the Fourth Mizukage, Karutagi Yagura, used the Water Mirror Technique to summon a mirror image of a golden eagle. The golden eagle was caught off guard and was hit by his own wind-style ninjutsu.

After being shot down from the air, Goju Yagura hit the golden eagle's wings with another Coral Palm, almost preventing it from flying.

Even if I can fly now, it is quite difficult.

"Hu, hu, Chief Sora, even though we don't know why Karajima Yagura suddenly left, the pressure we are facing now is still not small. It seems that we may not see our new home." Mizunotsuki Mufeng said to Kaguya Sora breathlessly.

"Tsk, Chief Wufeng, you still have the energy to sigh about these things? If you have that time, you might as well put in a little more effort. In this way, our people may be able to realize this wish for us." Kaguya Sora complained after glancing at Mizunotsuki Wufeng who was not in a very good condition.

"Brother, Chief Wufeng, you guys retreat. I will stay behind to cover your retreat. You are the chiefs and you cannot die here like this." After killing a Kirigakure ninja with a bone knife, Kaguya Mei shouted at the two men.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I leave like this? Lan has grown up and is no longer troubled by the blood disease. He can lead the Kaguya clan to rise again!" Kaguya Sora felt relieved when she thought of her son who had already left with ordinary clan members.

Then, Hui Yekong seemed to have thought of something and asked her brother, "By the way, Ming, what's the current situation of your illegitimate child born to a woman who is not from your tribe?"

Kaguya Sora was talking about a child that her younger brother brought back from outside before the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, had a drastic change in personality.

"Kimimaro, he is very talented! He can be said to be the most talented person in the history of our Kaguya clan!

Brother, you also know that it is because he awakened the corpse bone vein that I brought him back to the clan.

You know, he is only six years old now!

However, precisely because his bloodline was too strong, he was infected with a blood disease shortly after awakening his corpse bone vein.

Although the impact is not big now, I think it will be bigger than Lanna’s child in a few years.

The child is still serious.

I have restricted his use of the Corpse Vein. If he can successfully leave Kirigakure and go to the Snow Country, I will let Jin-kun provide him with the serum."

Kaguya Mei told her brother about her child's situation without reservation.

If Cang Si was here at this moment and heard what Kaguya Mei said, he would definitely be very surprised.

His other target on this trip - Kaguya Kimimaro, turned out to be the illegitimate son of Kaguya Mei and a foreign woman!

To be honest, this situation between the two ethnic groups is really quite special.

In front is Bai, the half-blood from the Snow Clan who Cang Si just met, and behind is Kimimaro, the half-blood from the Kaguya Clan. The talents of these half-bloods are really one more amazing than the other.

Both of them are only about six years old now, but as mixed-bloods, they have both awakened the bloodline limit at such a young age, which many pure-blooded people of the two races cannot awaken in their entire lives!

If this were to be made known to others, the pure-blooded people of the two races would probably be so ashamed that they would have no face to show.

And it is because Kaguya-kunmaro is an illegitimate child and a mixed-race child.

Therefore, although he was taken into the Kaguya clan by Kaguya Mei, his childhood could not really be said to be very happy.

Before this, he had no father and was bullied outside; after this, because of his identity, he was bullied by people in the Kaguya clan.

After all, as long as he is labeled as an illegitimate child, no one will like him even if he is very talented and is the child of the clan leader's younger brother.

Not to mention the illegitimate son of the clan leader's younger brother, even if he was the clan leader's illegitimate son, they would never show mercy to him when they bully him.

Not to mention, even Kaguya Mei herself had treated this child as dispensable before.

If the other party had not awakened the corpse bone vein, Kaguya Mei might not have recognized this illegitimate son, let alone brought him back to the clan.

So, don’t listen to what Kaguya Mei said, that after arriving in the Snow Country, he will let Souji inject Kimimaro with the serum that can cure the blood disease.

But that was only because of Kimimaro's talent, not because he was his own child.

In Kaguya Mei's opinion, as an illegitimate child, when he grows up, he will add combat power to the Kaguya clan.

Apart from that, it is simply impossible to ask him to give fatherly love to Yu Junmaru!

Having an illegitimate child is embarrassing enough, and you still want him to pay attention to it?

Does he still want to save his face?

It was only in this life that Souji helped the Kaguya clan develop a serum to cure blood-related diseases, otherwise, Kimimaro's childhood would have been even more miserable!

In the original novel, he was completely used as a weapon by the Kaguya clan. Despite his young age, he actually lived in a small cage.

It was only when the Hyuga clan attempted to rebel against Karatachi Yagura and launched a coup that Kimimaro was released from the cage.

Then, she met Orochimaru, was recruited by him, and became the only survivor of the Hyuga clan.

Unfortunately, in the end, he still dragged his sick body into a battle with Gaara, who had already resolved his emotional knot. Just when he was about to win, he died of illness.

And before his bloodline disease broke out, he was even Orochimaru's first choice for reincarnation!

From this we can see how strong Kimimaro's talent is.

However, now that Souji has intervened in the affairs of the Kaguya clan, Kimimaro's fate is much better than in the original work.

At the very least, now that the Kaguya clan has a way to cure the bloodline disease, they won't do what was done in the original novel and lock him in a cage.

This is because the more you use the blood-inherited disease of the Corpse Bone Vein, the faster your condition worsens.

Therefore, in the original work, the Hyuga clan would lock him up and restrict him from using this ability, and would only let Kimimaro out at critical moments.

Now, with things like serum, there’s no need to be too strict with restrictions.

Chapter 494: Three Shouts to Repel the Enemy

"Kuya Sora, Kaguya Mei, you two bastards! Just now you told me to hold on a little longer, but you were just chatting there. Who's not contributing now?" Just when the two brothers were getting a little carried away in their conversation, an angry shout rang in their ears.

The two brothers turned around and found that Mizunoe Wufeng was staring at them with murderous eyes, which made them feel embarrassed in an instant.

"Ahem, Chief Wufeng, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. We two brothers just want to arrange the family's funeral." Kaguya Sora said after pretending to cough.

"Yes, that's right. We will do our best right away!" Kaguya nodded and answered seriously.

Afterwards, the two brothers opened fire at full force, trying to resist the attacks from more and more Kirigakure ninjas.

After persisting for a while, the number of ninjas left behind by the two clans had fallen below a hundred.

Almost everyone who remained was injured, but no one escaped.

Because from the moment they stayed behind to cover the retreat, they were ready to sacrifice.

If sacrificing these people can allow the remaining thousand or so members of the family to escape safely to the Snow Country, then their sacrifice will be worth it!

They have no regrets!

In the minds of the older generation, family is more important than their personal lives!

It can be said that the more powerful the ninja clan is, the more deeply rooted the idea of ​​family supremacy is.

The Snow Clan and the Kaguya Clan can be said to be among the most powerful ninja clans in the entire ninja world.

There are not many people in the entire ninja world who can stand shoulder to shoulder with these two clans!

Driven by family honor, they can make any sacrifice.

Therefore, even though the remaining coalition forces of the two tribes only number less than a hundred people, they are all determined to die.

Anyway, killing one will break even, and killing two will make a huge profit, so what is there to be afraid of?

"Everyone, for the sake of our family and future of the Snow Clan, we must not let those Kirigakure bastards pass by here before we die!" Looking at the exhausted tribesmen, Mizunotsuki Mufeng forced himself to raise his voice to cheer them up.

"Everyone, we, the Kaguya clan, have never been afraid of any battle. Today, we will let those who are trying to destroy our family know how powerful we are!" At the same time, after Mizunotsuki Mufeng finished speaking, Kaguya Sora also shouted.

After hearing the words of the two clan leaders, the remaining surviving people of the two clans also roared in anger.

"Yes, for our family!"

"And our family!"

"We must let Kirigakure know how wrong their choice was!"

"We will not let any Kirigakure ninja break through our defenses!"

"We won't give up!"

The voices that came one after another showed the determination of the two ethnic groups to fight to the end.

Although they were originally part of Kirigakure, Kirigakure now disregards their past friendship and the great contributions they have made to Kirigakure and wants to get rid of them.

No matter what, they will make Kirigakure pay the price!
