Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 186 General Attack
"Water Style*Steam Explosion!"

The rapidly rising mist suddenly shook and exploded violently, knocking all the Konoha ninjas who were besieging Jianchuanju to the ground.

Even the few ninjas who were farther away were burned by the high-temperature steam and had to retreat quickly.

Looking at the results of this "steam explosion", Jianchuan Ju in the distance was also quite satisfied.

That’s right, Jianchuan Ju is definitely not the type of person who would risk rushing into the crowd and using his ultimate moves.

The attack just now was just the "water clone" summoned by Jianchuan Ju, which rushed forward and released it forcefully.

The ninjutsu 'Steam Explosion' currently still belongs to the water-style ninjutsu, so the 'Water Clone' can naturally be released.

However, due to the insufficient amount of chakra in the water clone, even if the chakra is exhausted and released, the power will be much smaller.

It can barely be considered a disposable 'beggar's version of Steamed Dangerous Explosion'.

"Next time, let's try to let the water clone rush in with the fried egg, okay?"

Jianchuan Ju was thinking mischievously.

But then he thought of the damn instability of the 'explosive egg'. If the water clone was accidentally exploded next to him, the 'explosive egg' would fall to the ground.

Jianchuan Ju immediately shuddered and decisively gave up this dangerous idea.

He leaned forward and fought hand-to-hand with Lanzai to deal with several Konoha ninjas who were burned by steam and wanted to retreat.

Jianchuan Ju looked around the battlefield helplessly.

Just as Karuta Yagura said at the end of the battle report.

Not long after the assault force returned to the front-line camp, after a short rest, Karuta Yagura once again led most of the ninjas in the camp to launch a general attack on the Konoha camp.

On the Konoha side, Orochimaru had only gone to encircle and suppress the escaped Seven Ninja Swordsmen, so it was naturally impossible for him to take all of them out.

At this time, there were more than a thousand people left in the Konoha camp, plus the defeated troops led by Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze, for a total of about fifteen hundred combatants.

The Kirigakure army led by Karutagi Yagura had a total of 2,500 people.

Together with the flying troops that had replenished their energy, everyone thought that this general offensive would be a one-sided battle that would crush everyone.

However, after the battle actually started, Kirigakure encountered tremendous resistance.

First of all, Orochimaru had the help of other senior ninjas this time, so he didn't have to be besieged by Karatachi Yagura and his men. The two sides fought back and forth.

Similarly, Minato Namikaze, who did not have to face the siege of the Hidden Mist's high-end combat forces together with Orochimaru, can be said to have completely let himself go.

He kept flashing among the Mist Hidden Army like a swimming dragon, and no one could stop his efficient slaughter.

If it weren't for the fact that the Kirigakure frequently used large-scale water jutsu to wash away the Flying Thunder God Kunai on the ground, Namikaze Minato's killing efficiency might have been several times higher.

And just like last time, Minato Namikaze summoned Gamabunta again, and Orochimaru also summoned a new summoned giant snake.

The only difference is that this time the two giant summoned beasts no longer protect the Konoha ninjas, but instead try their best to launch an offensive against the Kirigakure ground forces.

And with the previous experience of Wanshe, the two spirit beasts were very cautious in their actions.

Although the corresponding attack efficiency has decreased a bit, it is more difficult to deal with.

It can be said that if it were not for the open terrain of the Konoha front camp, the Kirigakure air force would also be cooperating with the ground forces to efficiently slaughter Konoha ninjas.

In this battle, Kirigakure really has no advantage at all.

After learning from the previous lesson, Konoha obviously changed its strategy. Since they have not been able to come up with a way to deal with the Kirigakure flying unit for the time being, they will just ignore it.

We'll have to see which side kills faster.

After colliding and separating from Orochimaru again, Karatachi Yagura looked around the battlefield with a grim expression.

This kind of situation where both sides suffer losses is obviously not the result he wants.

If the Hidden Mist Village fights Konoha here and is unable to attack the Land of Fire, it will only serve as a scapegoat for the other three major ninja villages. Orochimaru, who also stood still, licked his lips and spoke.

"Lord Yagura, the war does not seem to be going in the direction you expected."

Looking at Orochimaru's smiling face, and his complete indifference to the casualties of Konoha ninjas, it is not difficult to guess who formulated this tactic of hurting the enemy by a thousand and losing eight hundred of your own.

Not willing to be outdone, Goji Yagura responded.

"If all these people die here, I'm afraid Konoha will be unable to face the siege of other major countries next time, right?"

However, Orochimaru just smiled sinisterly.

"Mr. Yagura, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing."

Karuju Yagura was helpless and stopped talking.

At this moment he finally understood the frustrating feeling of having the upper hand but having to compromise because the other party chose to fight for his life.

He wanted to continue to place his hopes on that little brat Jianchuan Ju.

But even if Jianchuan Ju exploded again and found an opportunity to kill the opponent's giant summoned beast, the efficiency of killing the enemy by Minato Namikaze alone was enough to make the Kirigakure wary of him.

Seeing Orochimaru clearly determined to continue the confrontation with him and not paying any attention to anyone else.

Although Karuta Yagura had the courage to fight to the last drop of blood, his reason ultimately made him make the right decision.

He raised the iron hook in his hand and gave orders loudly.

"Mist Ninja, listen up, everyone retreat!"

As Karutagi Yagura's order was issued, most of the Kirigakure ninjas, except for the Kaguya clan, breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, when fighting fiercely with the enemy, you also have to keep an eye out for the golden figure that may appear at any time. This feeling is not pleasant.

"Let's go, Blue."

Jianchuan Ju took advantage of the fact that the enemy thought he was retreating, and after using his magic gun to kill two of them, he decisively called Lan Zai to run away with him.

However, this all-out offensive also allowed Jianchuan Ju to discover some shortcomings of the flying unit.

What the Kirigakure ninjas are best at is actually releasing a large-scale "Kirigakure Technique" at the beginning, and then relying on their skilled fog combat skills to engage in close combat with the enemy.

Moreover, in large-scale battles, Kirigakure ninjas would occasionally replenish the 'Kirigakure Technique', and it would not be as easy for the enemy to dispel it as in small-scale battles.

However, in order to cooperate with the air force, everyone was clearly told before the battle not to release the "Mist Concealment Technique" at random, so as not to interfere with the air force's vision.

This caused the Kirigakure ninjas, whose individual qualities were originally slightly inferior to those of Konoha, to lose another advantage.

When the battle dragged on to a ninjutsu showdown, most of the people from the Hidden Mist Village still needed to rely on the water environment to perform ninjutsu.

Konoha's various attributes and secret techniques made it feel like a fish in water.

There is another point that makes the Kirigakure flying unit not as eye-catching as in the previous battle.

There are too few detonating talismans.

The Hidden Mist Village is due to its geographical location and the ninja attributes of the village.

The price of detonating tags is several times more expensive than that of other ninja villages.

This also resulted in the flying troops being stingy in using what was clearly a very efficient means of killing the enemy.

But even with so many disadvantages, Jianchuan Ju is still full of confidence in the next battle on the front line.

Looking back at the Konoha ninjas who did not leave the camp to pursue, Jianchuan Ju had a smile on his face.

"It's still early. The hard times for those bastards in Konoha are just beginning!"
