Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 148: Besieged by Wooden Men

"Jiraiya, where is your title as a Sannin? Why, is this the only strength you have?"

On the battlefield, Yukito, who had been harassed by Jiraiya, gradually became angry. She, who had always been arrogant towards outsiders, kept provoking the other party, hoping to arouse her anger and have a serious fight with her.

Unexpectedly, Jiraiya just kept looking at her proud figure and chuckled from time to time.

"Oh my, beautiful lady, you look so mad, just like the lost cat of the Bull family.

No, no, no, it's actually a tsundere blonde cat.

Besides, compared to fighting, I prefer to sit down and talk with such a beautiful lady. If you don't mind, why don't we find a quiet place to drink tea and talk about my new book?"

Yu Muren's mouth twitched, and he suppressed his anger and asked, "Haha, OK, how about following me to the back?"

Behind them was the headquarters of the Hidden Cloud Defense Line, where nearly two thousand ninjas were on standby. Jiraiya naturally couldn't go in, so he just chuckled.

Yu Mu Ren sneered and said, "He's just an old man who can only talk tough."

Old. Old man.
Jiraiya felt as if a sharp arrow had pierced his heart. He was clearly only in his forties, and this little girl actually dared to say that the Toad Immortal was an old man. How could this be tolerated!
"You're really going too far~"

Although he was grieving, Jiraiya continued to drag the Yumudo calmly, showing no signs of losing his composure.

Want to get rid of him? Impossible!

"Damn it, that difficult old man deserves to be single for the rest of his life."

Come also.
This woman is really sharp-tongued. If he meets her alone, he will definitely teach her how to respect a great writer like him.

Even if we don't do anything, I will definitely include him in my next book.

"Master Yukito"

Just when Jiraiya was bursting with inspiration, news of Dodai finally reached the front line.

Seeing this, Jiraiya had no intention of stopping it and allowed the other party to pass the message to Yukito's ears.

Almost instantly, Yu Muren's face changed and he looked at the old man in front of him with disbelief.

"Despicable guy!"

The wooden man cursed loudly, then spit out several blue fireballs.

Jiraiya dodged immediately, but the fireball seemed to have consciousness and kept changing direction in the air under the control of the wooden man, chasing Jiraiya and crashing into him.

Jiraiya was not in a hurry. He saw the right moment and clapped his hands, shouting, "Earth Escape*Multiple Earth Flow Wall!"

Three layers of earth walls immediately rose from the ground, and the fireball that was rushing towards them had no time to change direction and directly hit the earth wall.

A trace of caution flashed across Yu Muren's eyes, and then he stopped attacking, wanting to take the opportunity to escape.

Based on her understanding of Jiraiya, as long as she took the initiative to leave the battlefield, Jiraiya would not stop her.

However, behind the dust and fog, Jiraiya, who had been fighting all the time, suddenly became serious.

Looks like it's starting over there.

Jiraiya sighed in his heart, then clapped his hands, and the white hair on his head grew rapidly, suddenly piercing through the dust and mist and grabbing towards the wooden man.

"what?"

The wooden man was shocked and quickly pulled away, but he didn't expect that the white hair had almost the ability to track Jiraiya's swing and kept getting closer.

"Protect Yukito-sama."

The protective ninjas scattered around Yukito shouted quickly upon seeing this, then quickly broke away from the entanglement of the Konoha ninjas and rushed towards Jiraiya.

Among them, there are three jonins and thirty chuunins.

Seeing this, Jiraiya decisively gave up the attack and instead used summoning magic to summon a giant toad.

Then he smiled at Yukito who was about to transform into a tailed beast and said, "I think we need to get to know each other better. Don't leave so quickly~"

"I hate men who have no sense of distance!"

The chakra around the wooden man surged, and he directly entered the half-tailed beast state, with his hands turning into cat claws and pouncing forward.

With Jiraiya's strength, if he didn't want her to leave, she would never leave so easily.

In that case, let’s fight!
Seeing that the two sides were getting serious, the ninjas on both sides who were originally planning to help suddenly changed their expressions and quickly retreated.

"The technique of messing up the lion's hair!"

"Burn it all!"

Blue fireballs, white hair, red flame bombs, and a large swamp.
Both sides fought with all their might, using all kinds of ninjutsu at will. Both sides were masters of fire escape technique, and after only a few rounds of fighting, a large sea of ​​fire was set off.

The two men also knew that the damage they had caused was quite serious, and then they consciously walked towards the edge.

Although the ninjas from both sides were a little far away, they were also keeping an eye on the two people at all times to prevent any accidents.

Behind the eastern front, feeling the strength of the two men, Hyuga Hizashi's face turned paler than his eyes and he couldn't help but sigh in frustration.

Sima Yi was a little confused, and then he learned the whole story from Hyuga Hizashi.

Sima Yi was moved when he heard this. Consuming the wooden man would be of great benefit to him and his next plan.

"Keep an eye on them both, don't let Jiraiya's command cause any accidents. Also, if the Two-Tails gets rid of him, remember to tell me."

".yes."

To Sima Yi's surprise, the battle between Jiraiya and Yukito did not last long. Only ten minutes later, with a shocking explosion in front, Yukito broke free from Jiraiya's entanglement and ran back to the Hidden Cloud Headquarters with his escort ninja.

Seeing this, Jiraiya returned to the rear camp in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

"The Jinchūriki has too much chakra and a strong recovery ability. Unless I use senjutsu, it will be difficult to keep her."

Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh that the Jinchūriki was worthy of being a killing weapon on the battlefield. If both sides were evenly matched, he would definitely be the one who couldn't hold on if the battle continued.

"How is the other party doing?"

Seeing that Jiraiya was not seriously injured, Sima Yi began to worry about him.

"She consumed a lot of energy but was not seriously injured. She must have gotten so mad at the end of the fight that she tried to use the Tailed Beast Ball by force, but I detonated it in advance and it exploded herself. However, I also gave her the opportunity to escape."

Sima Yi nodded, his eyes twinkling, "She may lead troops to support the western front this time. Now that she is seriously injured, this is a godsend opportunity that we cannot miss."

Jiraiya frowned, but did not refuse, and just said: "As long as there is a breakthrough on the western front, it will be considered a victory in this operation."

Even if he knew that Yu Mu Ren might lead troops to reinforce the western front, he would not intercept him.

Too many elite troops were withdrawn from the eastern front, and half of the reserve troops in the rear camp were secretly withdrawn by them. He had to stay and watch.

And as long as he doesn't leave, Kumogakure won't dare to transfer too many people, and most of the time it will be Bokuto and her guard ninjas who will go to provide support.

Sima Yi chuckled and replied, "Of course. The western front is the main focus. We should restore command as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Jiraiya thought about the possible war that might happen later, so he didn't waste any time and recovered as quickly as possible.

Sima Yi immediately sent someone to deliver the message from the wooden man to He Hui on the western front.

At the same time, Yu Mu Ren, who returned to the camp, couldn't help but be shocked.

She had to admit that in just ten minutes, Jiraiya's image in her mind had changed drastically.

Jiraiya is proficient in ninjutsu and body illusion, has great strength, has almost no weaknesses, and can use all kinds of powerful ninjutsu with ease.

Moreover, she heard that the other party also knew the legendary magic, but he had forced her to this point without using it this time. If she really tried her best, she seemed no match for his.

"hateful."

This thought made her feel a little frustrated, but she didn't show it as she looked at the ninjas around her.

After returning to the base camp, she quickly came to Tutai and then received news from the western front.

"I'll take some people to provide reinforcements." You Muren suggested without hesitation.

Although she was exhausted, she didn't believe that there was a ninja like Jiraiya on the Western Front. As long as she went to the Western Front, without those annoying guys, she would be able to dominate the battlefield and turn the tide with her status and strength as a jinchūriki.

"Bring your guards with you. Never fight alone. Remember to meet up with Troy as soon as possible."

This was what Dodai meant, so he naturally would not deny it. At this moment, casualties on both sides were increasing. As long as they could hold on until dawn, Konoha would naturally withdraw its troops if they found the cost was too high.

However, he was still somewhat worried that the Jinchūriki had left his sight.

Listening to Dodai repeating these things like an old woman, Yukito became more and more impatient, but she also knew that the other party was doing it for her own good, so she had to swallow her irritation and replied: "I know all this, you stay here and be careful of Jiraiya, he is really not easy to deal with."

Tutai nodded, gave a few more instructions, and then let the wooden man lead his men away.

"Elder Dongyan, Yunyin is sending in more and more troops. Should we send in some more reinforcements?"

On the western front, as Kumogakure continued to deploy reserve troops, the number of ninjas from both sides on the battlefield had approached four thousand.

The reserve forces of both sides were getting smaller and smaller, but Konoha had 500 more reinforcements, which changed the balance of forces between the two sides, and Konoha became slightly more relaxed.

"No need. Just pay attention to the wounded and change teams at any time to provide reinforcements. Also, remember to have the remaining 400 reinforcements change into ordinary clothes before going to the battlefield."

The assistant was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly.

"Elder, that's great. I'll go right away!"

He hid the elite ninjas in the crowd and suddenly launched an attack, and then broke through the defense line in one fell swoop. He was worthy of being a member of the Hyuga family. He was really terrifying. Unlike him, he only wanted to send elite troops to the battlefield to boost morale.

The corner of Hinata Dongyan's mouth twitched, and he tried hard to control his expression so as not to let others see anything.

At the same time, at the intersection of the three kingdoms of Fire Kingdom, Field Kingdom, and Soup Kingdom, at the foot of a small hill, a figure walked out of the darkness and took the secret letter. After a moment, he raised his hand and waved, and densely packed ninjas walked out behind him one after another, heading towards the north, silently.

Their target was a small hill ahead, Crouching Tiger Hill.

"We should be approaching the border of the Land of Hot Springs now, right?"

At the border of the Land of Hot Springs, in a forest, a wooden man and a small number of reinforcements were rushing on the road. She looked at the dark sky and asked.

Just as Jiraiya expected, Kumogakure did not send too many reinforcements. There were only Bokuto and her guard ninjas, plus some people drawn from the reserve team, totaling exactly sixty people.

Although their reinforcement force only numbered over 500, far less than the 500 reinforcements from Konoha, but this team had the Jinchūriki they admired, so everyone was still confident that they could hold the line.

"Master Yumuren, if you go through this forest, you will reach Crouching Tiger Hill. That is where our base is. After crossing the hill, you will reach the plain of Tian Kingdom."

"Very good, speed up, this time I will turn all the ninjas of Konoha into ashes."

The wooden man couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile as he spoke, causing several people around him to tremble.

They couldn't understand why such a gentle person would become like this when he went to the battlefield.
Those guys from Konoha really pissed off Master Yukito~
The wind rustled, and everyone quickened their pace. Soon they passed through the woods, and the view in front of them suddenly became clear.

bang bang bang~
"Ok?"

Suddenly, a subtle sound came into Yu Muren's ears. Her expression changed and she looked up towards the top of the slope.

Then he whispered, "There's movement up there, follow me up!"

After saying that, he rushed forward fiercely. Upon hearing his words, the people behind him immediately entered combat status and followed closely.

When she reached the top of the slope, she saw four Konoha ninjas fighting with one of their own teams.

There are strongholds like this one set up at regular intervals along the hundreds of miles of defense line from east to west. Each stronghold has three teams, three Chunins and nine Genins.

They need to be responsible for the guarding mission of a section of the defense line, and send out intelligence as soon as they encounter the enemy crossing the line. Killing and expelling the enemy is secondary.

After the wooden man climbed to the top of the slope, he found that there was only one team fighting with the Konoha ninja, and the other two teams were missing. They must have gone out on patrol.

The Konoha team in front of them was quite powerful. With just four people, they were able to surround the Hidden Cloud team tightly. If they had arrived a moment later, the team here would have been destroyed.

"Oh no, their reinforcements have arrived, let's go!"

Someone among the Konoha ninja noticed Yukito coming up, his face changed and he shouted loudly.

The other three did not hesitate and immediately ran down the slope.

The wooden man snorted coldly, and a tail quickly grew out from behind him. His hands turned into sharp cat claws, and then he used all four limbs and chased after him like a tiger descending a mountain.

The four Konoha people kept jumping and running desperately towards the bottom of the slope.

However, the wooden man was faster and approached one person in a few leaps, then pounced down like a tiger.

As the sharp claws attacked, the Konoha ninja sensed the danger and immediately raised his sword to protect himself, but was knocked to the bottom of the slope by the huge force, spitting blood.

The three men fell down right after him, and quickly helped him up. Looking at the wooden man approaching quickly, they immediately threw out several smoke bombs.

It was already dark tonight, and when the smoke exploded, the wooden man immediately lost his vision and could only sense his surroundings carefully.

Whoosh whoosh~
Several sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and the wooden man noticed that there were more people around.

"ambush?"

She sneered, and the tail behind her gradually grew larger under her control. Then she swung it violently, and a gust of wind blew away the smoke in an instant, revealing the appearance of several people around her.

"Uchiha?!"

Twelve pairs of Sharingan flashed scarlet light in the darkness. They were standing at the four corners, with their hands forming seals, and special flags were inserted on all four sides.

The wooden man's face changed, he instinctively felt something was wrong and wanted to break out of the encirclement immediately.

"Too late, silly woman."

The twelve people were ready. They condensed fire-attribute chakra with their five fingers and then inserted them into the ground at the same time. Then they were gathered through four special flags. Almost at the same time, the four red light walls connected into one and then rose from the ground.

"Uchiha Fire Formation!"

The sky-high beam of light immediately attracted the Kumogakure ninjas who were still descending the mountain. They saw the trapped Yukito and immediately shouted, "Protect Yukito-sama!"

Yukito, who was a little panicked at first, was immediately relieved when she saw the reinforcements had arrived, and stared coldly at the Uchiha who dared to mock her stupidity.

"You are just a dozen people, yet you dare to ambush me? The Uchiha people are really as arrogant as the rumors say. I will tear your mouth apart and dig out your eyes!"

After Bokuto confirmed that conventional methods could not break the barrier, he immediately began to fully transform into a tailed beast.

Outside the barrier, the leader was Uchiha Hui. Seeing that Yu Mu Ren was trapped in the formation and still talking nonsense, he couldn't help but sneer.

"I will collect your bodies."

After saying that, seeing that the Kumogakure ninja was about to rush over, he retreated with everyone without hesitation.

"Don't chase them, save Master Yukito first."

Some people were about to give chase but were stopped by the jonin in the team.

Yumujin looked at the departing Uchiha and felt something was wrong. He quickly accelerated his transformation into the tailed beast and then slapped the barrier with one claw.

"Ok?"

Unexpectedly, the barrier did not move at all, and her hand was burned by it instead.

The Yunyin outside the barrier was also constantly attacking, and a few reckless men even tried to pound the barrier with their bodies, causing their arms to be burned and causing unbearable pain.

At the same time, the Konoha Ninja Army surrounding this place three miles away sensed the light column and quickly gathered here.

"Not good, this barrier is too strong, I'm afraid it won't be broken in a short time."

Everyone used ninjutsu to attack for dozens of seconds, but saw that the barrier did not move at all. Several jonin were shocked and immediately ordered: "Send someone to notify Commander Tutai and Lord Troy!"

"The team disperses and stay alert all around!"

Yumoto also realized that the situation was not good, so he stopped hesitating and immediately began to gather the Tailed Beast Balls.

At this moment, the faces of the perception ninjas in the team all changed. One of them looked up in horror and said, "Oh no, we are surrounded!"
