Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

But the aftermath of the ninja's battle could spread over at any moment.

Unfortunately, he was a military officer of noble birth and it was impossible for him to leave his garrison post.

'What a fucked up world it is.'

Ninja fighting.

A world that ordinary people cannot participate in.

Even after receiving the message from the coastal defense soldiers, none of the noble lords far away in the capital showed even the slightest special emotion. They had become accustomed to it anyway.

The Daimyo of River Country even gave a direct order that all areas not located in the city were allowed for the Mist Ninjas to roam freely. This was a common scene in the ninja world.

It is impossible to enter the territories of the five major countries easily.

For other countries, there is no such thing as territorial sovereignty at all.

It’s the same old saying, just let these ninjas fight, they will go back on their own after the fight, no matter how bloody or tragic it is outside, as long as it does not affect the enjoyment of the nobles, they will not care.

What does the life and death of the lower class people have to do with them! ?

Those people were just untouchables in the eyes of the nobles.

This is also one of the greatest sorrows in this world, and it is a scene that can be seen in many worlds, many times, and any dimension.

Meat eaters

This is already an understatement.

Civilians are always the ones who are sacrificed, but this time it is the turn of the people of River Country.

The government is not taking action, or is unable to take action.

When the Mist Ninjas entered the territory of River Country, it was like returning home.

This is a large-scale march.

An atmosphere of fear called the threat of war was also released within the territory of River Country, and it was rapidly spreading across the country.

There have been countless examples in the past few decades of what would happen to a small country that became the focus of fighting between the ninja villages of the big countries.

But the vast majority of these people can only face everything passively with panic. They have no means of resistance, and not many people even have the ability to escape. Leaving their homes and wanting to survive is not something that can be achieved by just talking.

Not many people pay attention to the suffering of these lower-class people.

At this moment, the high-ranking officials of the ninja villages of various countries all focused their attention on the wide border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Rivers.

Because, it was just less than five days.

There are already five to six thousand ninjas gathered here, of which there are only less than two thousand Light Ninjas, while the number of Mist Ninjas is still expanding.

Ever since Konoha rejected the request of the Hidden Mist Village with a not-too-harsh attitude, and also sent additional forces to support the southeast area.

The marching route of the Mist Ninjas underwent a huge change. They no longer insisted on going directly through the Fire Country to attack the area where the former Takigakure Village was located.

Instead, it sailed westward, made a big circle, passed through the Tea Country, landed in the River Country, and headed north.

The distance doubled.

The Mist Ninja Corps sent here will be caught in the crossfire of the three major ninja villages, which is not a very wise choice.

But precisely because of this, the ninja villages in other countries can see more clearly the firm attitude of the Hidden Mist Village.

It is said that the last and most prestigious elder of the Hidden Mist Village, Master Yuan, is also on his way.

The posture of the Hidden Mist Village is clearly as if they have lost their minds. They are ready to throw all their strength into the mix. It's either you die or I die.

And they didn't even wait for the arrival of the follow-up main force.

Almost at the moment when the vanguard troops of more than 3,000 arrived, the Mist Ninjas took the lead in launching the first wave of attacks on the Light Ninjas stationed in the front-line camp.

The Mist Ninjas scattered.

They invaded in swarms like locusts.

"bump!"

"Water escape!"

“Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang!”

"Water escape!"

"Tudun!"

"Wind escape!"

The roaring sounds that were heard all around were either the result of a showdown between ninjutsu or the chopping of ninja tools.

The war broke out almost immediately.

It is also because of the threat posed by the tailed beasts.

The Mist Ninjas did not march in a group from the beginning.

They were divided into small groups of no more than a hundred people and attacked in a very purposeful manner. Their target was the reconnaissance and garrison strongholds set up at key roads in the Hikari Village.

Before the subsequent large forces arrived, their goal was to avoid confrontation with the tailed beast Jinchuriki of the Hidden Light Village while destroying as many of the Hidden Light Village's manpower as possible and compressing the strategic maneuvering space of the Hidden Light Ninjas.

This is the combat order issued by the "Master Yuan".

Ordinary Mist Ninjas have almost unconditional faith in the Master, not to mention that there are a large number of Jonins in important positions who support them. These Mist Ninjas who are fighting hard at this moment may never know that their superior, their extremely respected Master, has long been replaced by an inhuman monster.

Their so-called fighting for the ninja village and for themselves is just a huge joke.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 423 Trend

The Mist Ninja and Light Ninja entered into a fierce attack and defense.

It seems to be very intense.

But it is obvious that the Light Ninjas have an absolute advantage. Even though the Mist Ninjas have dispersed to attack and tried their best to avoid the disadvantages brought by the lack of high-end combat power, Suigetsu and Yugao can still easily defeat the attacking Mist Ninjas in two fronts. They don't need to transform into tailed beasts, but simply borrow the chakra of the tailed beasts to unleash power far beyond that of ordinary jonin.

He slaughtered countless Mist Ninjas almost like chopping melons and vegetables.

The Light Ninjas below are also equipped with chakra armor and new weapons, and can often fight one against two under normal circumstances. It is difficult for the Mist Ninjas to break the defense of the chakra armor, and the weapons held by the Light Ninjas can further threaten the lives of the Mist Ninjas. Although it is currently impossible for everyone to have a set of chakra armor, the nearly three thousand Light Ninjas who were sent to the front line by Menma to resist the Mist Ninja army this time are all elite soldiers wearing chakra armor.

This is a huge trouble for the Mist Ninjas below the rank of Jonin.

Even for a jonin, it is difficult to break through the defense of chakra armor.

Even though this was a chakra armor that Menma instructed his researchers to simplify some functions and weaken certain defensive capabilities for the sake of mass production, it was still not something that could be destroyed by ordinary techniques. One had to either rely on physical skills to win in close combat, or use large-scale ninjutsu to directly cover the person and the armor together, to kill the light ninjas wearing chakra armor.

But no matter which of these two methods is used, the requirements for the Mist Ninjas are too high.

It is also based on this point.

It was only in the first few days of the war.

The death and injury ratio between the Light Ninjas and the Mist Ninjas was an exaggerated 1 to 3. The Mist Ninjas, who wanted to seize strategic points with lightning speed from the beginning, were instead severely damaged by the Light Ninjas.

You know, this group of so-called Light Ninjas were previously the Grass Ninjas and Taki Ninjas who were looked down upon by the ninjas of the five major countries, but now they can easily suppress them. This really makes the Mist Ninjas start to doubt their lives.

This is not a frontal large-scale military battle.

The other side's tailed beasts were wreaking havoc, causing our side to be defeated in the battle.

Instead, they were small-scale clashes in batches on different battlefields. It was fine if one or two places were defeated by Jinchūriki like Suigetsu and Yugao, but why did the Mist Ninjas always lose in encounters in other places? ?

After more than ten battles.

A senior ninja commander from the Hidden Mist Village who was first deployed to the front line felt that this was a huge joke played by God.

"Special armor that can absorb ninjutsu? And those guns and shells that are far more terrible than conventional weapons? Damn it, all these stinking things that are not ninja style!!!"

The country of Sichuan.

On the northern front line.

On a flat ground slightly to the east, the Mist Ninjas set up a separate forward camp.

Hyacinthus, the Jonin who serves as the commander of the Mist Ninja on the front line, has a gloomy look on his face at this moment.

You know, when he led his army to River Country.

Hyacinthus is very confident. She defeated the enemy and won with a strong force. But she is not that arrogant. Although she does not approve of Mei Terumi very much, she knows that she cannot compare to Mei Terumi who is the successor to the Fifth Mizukage recognized by her own master.

Even such a talented person died at the hands of the so-called Celestial Shadow of the Hikari Village - Uzumaki Menma.

What ability does he have to defeat the enemy! ?

Even if Uzumaki Menma doesn't take action.

He has many tailed beast jinchūriki under him.

Aren’t they just sending out two people directly this time?

One of them is the Six-Tails Jinchuriki of their Hidden Mist Village. What's more, the other party's army also has nearly three thousand people, which is almost equal in number. They also have an absolute advantage in high-end combat power, so it would be a joke for them to win.

The order Hyacinthus received at the beginning was just to eliminate the outer Hidden Light Ninja strongholds, and then kill as many of the Hidden Light Village's manpower as possible, and find out the Hidden Light Village's force deployment. Hyacinthus really didn't think this was a difficult task.

But reality gave him a loud slap in the face.

Not a single stronghold that was to be eliminated was destroyed.

In terms of casualties, the enemy had inflicted such an exaggerated loss ratio, and the enemy's troop deployment had not been fully explored. None of the expected tactical goals had been achieved. How could Hyacinthus accept this! ?

Wait, how is he going to report to Master Yuan?

Admit your failure directly?

This is even more painful than killing him.

"Also, Master Hyacinth, there is another piece of information that I don't know..."

In the following position.

A Chunin who came to report obviously had an important piece of information that he hadn't said yet, but his face showed a very embarrassed expression, as if it was very difficult to say.

"Hmm? Any more information? Tell me now. Is there a breakdown somewhere? Is there anything else you can't tell me?"

Hyacinthus said, looking at her subordinates unhappily.

The war has come to this point.

Hyacinthus herself felt extremely embarrassed.

I never expected any advantage.

The tactical goals set do not necessarily have to be achieved in full, but at least one or two should be completed.

As long as we can stabilize the situation.

He is worthy of his own ninja village and his own master.

But now we are at a complete disadvantage, and Hyacinthus still doesn't believe it. Can the situation get worse than it is now?

It can't be that the Hikari Village is launching an all-out attack, right?

Do you really think that the threats from other ninja villages are gone?

If Menma Uzumaki was such a simple-minded guy, Hyacinthus would be happier.

"It's not that there's a collapse somewhere, but our reconnaissance ninja has determined that the other light ninja who uses the power of the tailed beast should be from the Hozuki clan, and the tailed beast chakra on that guy should be from the three-tailed beast!"

The Chunin took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and told out the most important information.

"The Hozuki clan? Humph, what a haunting bunch of guys. Wait, what did you say!? The Three-Tails' chakra!? Are you sure!?"

Hyacinthus turned around abruptly, staring at his subordinates with wide eyes and an obviously fierce expression, and shouted harshly.

It was nothing that there were ninjas from the Kizuna clan in the enemy's army. In the previous bloody fog battle, the three major ninja villages of their village had disappeared into thin air. It was normal for some of them to slip through the net and escape.

Hyacinthus doesn't take it to heart at all.

But Sanwei Isobu is no joke.

Ever since their Fourth Mizukage passed away unexpectedly, they had no time to retrieve the Three-Tails, causing the Three-Tails to disappear along with Karatachi Yagura. Their Kirigakure lost the Three-Tails, and had originally planned to wait until their own ninja village had recovered and found a suitable Jinchūriki candidate before launching a comprehensive search to capture the Three-Tails again.

But didn't expect it.

Our own ninja village hasn't even taken action yet, and the Three-Tails has already been captured by someone else! ?

And it has to be the Hidden Light Village! ?
