Konoha's entry is ninja!

After saying that, Uchiha Shisui walked away.

Hoshita Shuichi immediately jumped up, came to sit on the tree crown, and looked towards the Suna Ninja, but his spiritual body was already in the Bagua seal in his abdomen.

Seeing him appear, Xiao Siwei said, "It seems it won't be long before you can catch Shukaku."

Hoshita Shuichi looked at Shukaku's huge chakra and smiled: "I have no intention of catching Shukaku."

Xiao Siwei was thoughtful.

Shuichi Hoshita ignored him and continued to feel the power of Shukaku's chakra.

……

Platycodon Mountain, Platycodon City.

This castle in the River Country originally belonged to a noble of the River Country, but now it has become Konoha's military fortress.

However, it was the shadow clone of Shuichi Hoshita who rushed to the border of Fire Country with Orochimaru to take over the command and brought his people here.

But the number of shinobi in Konoha is actually only three hundred at the moment.

Fortunately, after arriving at Platycodon Castle, Hoshige Shuichi immediately summoned Gama Bunta and sent a message to Konohagakure for help through the toad in Mt. Myoboku.

This speed was even faster than when he returned to Konoha.

After all, Hoshita Shuichi couldn't teleport to Konoha.

But Mount Myoki has a direct passage into Konoha.

Even if the teacher Minato Namikaze is in the village, he can just summon a counter-spiritual technique and then cancel it.

Orochimaru was busy deploying troops and arranging defense.

Hoshita Shuichi found a remote place, turned into a mini Four-Tails and began to restore chakra.

With Konoha's small number of troops, it was obviously impossible for him to eliminate it.

They must hold out until Konoha's reinforcements arrive.

And obviously, the elite of Sand Ninja will arrive before Konoha's reinforcements.

Because the distance between Suna Ninja from the northern battlefield to Mount Kikyo is much closer than the distance from Konoha to Mount Kikyo.

Even if Konoha mobilized its troops overnight and arrived as quickly as possible, it would definitely be after dawn tomorrow.

Sand Ninja 800VS300, this is a huge advantage!

Time passes little by little.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, Ebizo arrived with the elite Sand Ninja.

The elite team of Sand Ninja who went ahead had also detected Konoha's troop transfer.

After receiving the report, Ebizo couldn't help frowning: "Mount Kikyo?"

"It's easy to defend but hard to attack there..."

A Sand Ninja Jounin next to him said: "Even so, our numbers are enough."

"There are only three hundred people in Konoha."

Just as he was talking, a figure came quickly, landed in front of Ebiyo's hiding place and said: "Konoha's blue shining chakra was detected in Platycodon City!"

The surrounding sand ninjas were all shocked when they heard this.

However, Ebizo was already prepared and said calmly: "Don't worry, this is just the shadow clone of Shuichi Hoshita."

"With Shukaku in check, his true form cannot appear here."

He looked at the somewhat hazy Platycodon City and shouted: "Start the attack in half an hour!"

……

In Platycodon Castle, Orochimaru and Hoshita Shuichi stood on the roof, looking down at the direction where the Suna Ninja gathered.

Orochimaru smiled and said: "With less than three times the strength, the Fourth Kazekage didn't come in person. I really underestimate you, Shuichi-kun."

Hoshita Shuichi said calmly: "Although it is said that the shadow clone can exert all the abilities of the original body, this is not actually the case."

"I cannot enter the Fire Release Chakra Mode as a Shadow Clone. The Melt Release Chakra Mode is not what I am good at. It is still within the rules. The Fourth Kazekage does not need to come in person."

"Besides, the Fourth Kazekage doesn't dare to leave."

The Fourth Kazekage dared to leave, and the Third Tsuchikage dared to order the Iwa Ninja to counterattack.

The current Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja are not officially in alliance.

Hoshita Shuichi looked towards the direction of the Earth Kingdom and said: "Once the war between us and the Sand Ninja becomes anxious, the Iwa Ninja will probably not be able to help but take action."

Orochimaru nodded, but did not worry: "Don't worry too much. Although the old man's character has become conservative, he still has enough strength to cope with it."

Hoshixia Xiuyi withdrew his gaze and nodded slowly.

Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye.

The Sand Ninja arrived at the bottom of the mountain and attacked from all sides without stopping.

Under the dark night, a war broke out!

On the roof, Hoshita Shuichi looked at the sand ninja charging towards him, lightning burst out from his limbs, and thousands of birds chirped.

Electric light wrapped around the body from the limbs. Hoshita showed a standard sword in his right hand and a kunai in his left hand. The next moment, under Orochimaru's gaze, it turned into a beam of electric light and swooped down from the roof, and everything it passed was scorched black.

"Be careful, Konoha's blue flash is coming!"

"It's just a shadow clone, using wind escape to limit his speed."

"Prepare the puppet's hidden weapon!"

……

Seeing the lightning coming, the Sand Ninja immediately mobilized their elite troops and prepared to surround and kill Hoshita Shuichi.

However, Hoshita Shuichi suddenly disappeared from the place after killing three Suna Ninjas in a row, appeared in another place, rescued a Konoha Ninja, and then killed the Suna Ninja.

Earth escape, wind escape, thunder escape, fire escape, water escape, and genjutsu were all at his disposal. Wherever Hoshixia Shuichi went, the sand ninja were quickly defeated.

And there was no way the Sand Ninja could set up an ambush in advance.

Because it is impossible to determine where Hoshixia Shuichi will appear.

The shadow clone does not carry a large number of flying thunder god kunai, but every Konoha ninja has his coordinates. He may appear next to any Konoha ninja, and then output various ninjutsu to frustrate the Suna ninja's offensive.

This was also the tactic decided by Hoshita Shuichi himself and Orochimaru after prior discussion.

Rescue and disrupt the Sand Ninja offensive!

Although the Rasen Shuriken technique is very powerful, it also consumes a lot of energy.

Even if the Hoshita Hide Ikage clone used this technique, it would be impossible to destroy all the Sand Ninja.

After all, today's Sand Ninja are not gathering together like the Mist Ninja last time, but turning the entire Platycodon Mountain into a battlefield, attacking the Platycodon Castle from any direction.

In this situation, the continuous combat capability under conventional ninjutsu is the best choice.

Half an hour later, the ferocious attack of the sand ninja receded like a tide.

Hoshixia Xiuyi stopped and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Chakra consumption is too great!

If he continues, he may not be able to support it anymore.

Although it was also half an hour, his output was too strong.

After saying hello to Orochimaru, Shuichi Hoshita disappeared and came to a secret room to transform into a mini Four-Tails to recover chakra.

However, less than half an hour later, the Sand Ninja attacked again.

Orochimaru, who was in charge of the command, also came to an end and channeled all the snakes.

But the Sand Ninja also summoned two large psychic beasts, a scorpion and a sandworm that could burrow into the ground, and barely managed to hold Wan She down.

Shuichi Hoshita continued to put out fires everywhere, wandering around every corner of the battlefield, blocking the ferocious attacks of the Sand Ninja.

Halfway up the mountain, Ebizo, who was in charge of the command, stared at the lightning flashing around with a very ugly expression.

"Although it is not the original body, but with space ninjutsu, the shadow clones may keep coming from there..."

Ebizo was filled with helplessness.

There was really nothing he could do about this Konoha blue flash, and there was no way to limit such a teleportation technique.

Originally, with 800 men, he was very confident that he could take down Konoha's troops deployed on the border of the Land of Fire in one fell swoop, but now he had a premonition of failure.

After thinking for a moment, Ebizo immediately sent people back to the battlefield in the north of the Kingdom of Wind.

We must ask for help, otherwise this strategy will fail.

Time passes little by little.

The sand ninja's ferocious attacks came one after another.

By the time it got light, the Sand Ninja had already launched six attacks.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, the first batch of reinforcements from Konoha finally arrived.

After Ebizo was detected by the Sensing Ninja, he immediately sent out 200 people to intercept, hoping to eat Konoha's 100 reinforcements.

But seeing Shuichi Hoshita walking in the air, he had to give up this idea.

Ebizo was afraid that the 200 men sent there would be meat buns and beat the dogs, and they would never come back.

As a result, 100 reinforcements were easily escorted into Platycodon City by Shuichi Hoshita.

However, Hoshita Shuichi was not happy, because among the reinforcements, pharmacists Noono U and Shizune were present, and they were members of the medical team.

On the contrary, Yakushi Nonou and Shizune were very happy after seeing Hoshita Shuichi, and their worries suddenly disappeared.

But there are too many injuries right now. In addition to Hoshita Shuichi, even Orochimaru is injured. So before the three of them had time to say anything, pharmacist Nonoyu and Shizune started busy without even touching the ground.

"People really have double standards..."

Hoshita Shuichi looked at the two busy people and sighed secretly, and then went to restore chakra.

The Sand Ninja's offensive will not stop because of these 100 reinforcements. On the contrary, it may become even more crazy.

……

To the west of the River Country, it was exactly as Hoshita Shuichi expected.

Although he was severely beaten, Shukaku still enjoyed the challenge.

But there is another helper on top of his head - Chiyo!

Hoshita Shuichi took Uchiha Shisui with him, and summoned Gamabunta to deal with Shukaku and the others.

Three battles in one night, no one can do anything.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, Koharu finally arrived after going to bed and took over the command. Hoshita Shuichi concentrated on dealing with Shukaku.

at the same time.

To the north of the Kingdom of Wind, the Fourth Kazekage received Ebizo's request for help and couldn't help but fall silent.

800 men was actually the limit of the troops he could draw.

If the human hand is removed again, his side will become weak.

"It seems that we can only recruit people from the village..."

The Fourth Kazekage made a decision quickly.

As the war has developed to this day, the war potential of Sunagakure Village has not been fully exploited.

The flying ninja beasts were ordered to return south to Sunagakure Village. That afternoon, 600 reinforcements from Sunagakure Village left Sunagakure Village and went straight to the Battlefield of Mount Kikyo.

At this time, Konoha's reinforcements arrived in three batches one after another. The arrival of new forces made Ebizo completely lose the possibility of taking over Mount Kikyo in a short time.

The next day, reinforcements from Sunagakure Village arrived, bringing their combat strength to thousands.

At this time, there are more than 700 Konoha ninjas in Platycodon Castle who can fight.

With Shuichi Hoshita's shadow clone as a firefighter, the two sides became evenly matched.

Under such a situation, the original quick war naturally evolved into a protracted war.
