Chapter 171 Let's turn the tide!

Temari looked at the situation on the battlefield with a heavy expression, her face looking very unwell.

The battlefield had become a complete meat grinder, with nearly three thousand Shadow Legion soldiers attacking from all directions.

Each of the nine troop types has different abilities, and each type is very troublesome. In particular, these little gadgets are all very well hidden, lurking in every corner of the battlefield to devour the shadows of ninjas, and have already killed quite a few ninjas.

Moreover, in such a battlefield where tens of thousands of people are fighting, the use of ninjutsu is greatly restricted, since one careless move could harm other teammates.

Faced with this situation, Gaara, as the commander of the headquarters, narrowed his eyes, reached out to form hand seals, and manipulated the sand, preparing to make a move.

Unexpectedly, a sharp chakra slash tore through space and struck directly at them.

Sand automatically appeared from the gourd on his back, forming a protective shield that enveloped Gaara.

boom! ! !
The chakra slash collided with the protective shield formed by sand, producing a muffled sound. Sand flew out, revealing a hole. The slash was easily blocked by Gaara's perfect defense.

Feeling the power of the attack, Gaara raised his head and looked into the distance. He saw a man dressed in a blue samurai outfit, holding a dark blue longsword, looking at him calmly.

Shimotsuki, a disciple of a prestigious family in the Land of Iron, is now an elite Jonin of Amegakure, possessing formidable strength.

Is it some kind of peculiar ninjutsu that can unleash a slashing attack?
Without a word, Gaara didn't hesitate for a moment. With a wave of his hands, he manipulated the sand into a giant hand that shot towards Shimotsuki.

Using ninjutsu to fly on the sand, he has an absolute advantage while in the air.

Moreover, Gaara's mastery of sand ninjutsu is relatively effective against such skilled swordsmen.

Faced with the large hand reaching out, Shuangyue remained calm and did not choose to fight back. Instead, she extended her other empty hand.

The next moment, a black shadowy flying soldier swiftly flew over, reached out and grabbed Shimotsuki's hand. With flapping wings and a swift movement, he dodged the attack, then suddenly swung it towards Gaara.

Frost Moon, flying in the air, quickly adjusted her body, bent down to stroke her sword, and a sharp glint flashed in her calm eyes. Chakra surged from her body and flowed into the long sword, making it even sharper.

Gaara clapped his hands, and the gourd behind him once again flew out of sand, slowly gathering beside him. With a thought, it transformed into several sharp sand blades, which spun rapidly and rushed towards the opponent at an extremely fast speed.

Bah! ! !
With a flash of light, Shimotsuki suddenly swung her sword, the sharp strike directly annihilating all the sand blades. In an instant, she appeared in front of Gaara and slashed down fiercely.

The long sword sliced ​​through the air with a sharp cry, swiftly severing Gaara's throat.

However, no blood flowed out; instead, fine sand flowed out, and Gaara turned into sand and scattered on the ground.

The usually calm Frost Moon suddenly showed a hint of horror in her eyes. Earth clone, when did it appear?
Not far away, behind a mountain, Gaara reappeared, stepping on sand, a murderous glint in his eyes, and suddenly swung his hands.

Ninjutsu, Sand Prison Thrust.

The next moment, the sand on the ground churned and transformed into more than a dozen huge sharp spikes, which rose up and stabbed towards Frost Moon in the air.

Because of the full force of the attack, he had no way to dodge and could only passively watch the spikes come straight at him.

Whoosh! ! !
At the critical moment, a shadowy figure from the Black Shadow Legion flew in swiftly, gathering all its power, and crashed into Frost Moon, sending her flying and allowing her to dodge the attack.

However, in response, Hiei Ninja was directly pierced by the random thrusts and turned into afterimages.

Gaara frowned as he watched this scene; these shadowy ninjas flying in the air were indeed a bit troublesome.

Just as he was about to continue his attack, a voice sounded in his mind, coming from the sensory ninja at headquarters.

"First Division, we have detected a lot of unfamiliar chakra aura around you. You have also been attacked."

Gaara glanced around and noticed that Shimotsuki had disappeared sometime earlier. He raised an eyebrow and then replied in his mind, "That's right. We were attacked this time as well. In addition to the ninjas from Amekage Village, the attacking force also included strange shadow soldiers. Those shadow soldiers have very strange abilities."

After exchanging information, the sensory ninja remained silent for a moment, seemingly exchanging opinions with someone, before the voice of Tsunade, the commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces, rang out.

"Kazekage, you need to ensure that the ninjas don't suffer too many losses. We've already started gathering information, and we'll soon pass on the abilities of those shadow soldiers to you."

Gaara nodded, severed the connection, and sensed the faint, sharp aura. He knew that Frost Moon had not escaped, but was waiting for time to pass.

Meanwhile, the allied forces on the other two routes were also intercepted, and a major battle immediately ensued.

Thanks to the Shadow Legion's various strange abilities, they threw the Allied Shinobi Forces into disarray for a time, causing them considerable losses.

However, thanks to the strength of the various types of troops in the Allied Shinobi Forces and their numerical advantage, they stabilized the situation in a short period of time, bringing the battlefield into a stalemate.

Rain Village, on the highest mountain peak.

Chen Feng sat cross-legged here, with a sand table made of shadows in front of him, showing the various situations of the three battlefields.

The two sides appeared to be evenly matched, but it was clear that the army representing their own side was significantly weaker compared to the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Xiao Nan, who was also paying attention to the situation, thought of this as well. Looking at Chen Feng, whose expression remained calm, she couldn't help but remind him.

“Those shadow soldiers are indeed extraordinary, but if nothing unexpected happens, their abilities will soon be detected. Moreover, our high-end combat power is far inferior to that of the ninja alliance. Without a doubt, our defeat is imminent.”

Chen Feng nodded in response to Xiao Nan's reminder, indicating that he understood. He let out a soft breath and slowly stood up.

"I didn't intend to use these ninjas and shadow soldiers to successfully stop the Allied Shinobi Forces. Just delaying them for a while would be enough. Once the Allied Shinobi Forces on these three routes are thrown into disarray, they can then perform better."

"Then let's turn the tide right now!"

During the months of delay, I wasn't idle; I traveled between villages in disguise, all for the sake of today's scene.

The moment he finished speaking, Chen Feng did not make any move, but his eyes flashed with endless blue light as he activated some kind of technique.

This method is indeed somewhat dishonorable, or even dirty.

But when facing the battlefield, he had to do the same for the sake of victory.

After all, there's a famous saying that's true: war is a dirty game, and I'm a dirty player.

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Xiao Nan was a little confused. She didn't know what he had done, but from his words, she knew that Chen Feng must have done something.

…………

The Land of Earth, on the border.

A battle was also taking place here, with both sides locked in fierce combat and blood flowing freely. The Shadow Legion's various abilities were truly formidable, and together with the ninjas gathered from Amegakure, they were evenly matched with the Allied Shinobi Forces for a time.

As the captain, Onoki looked at the female ninja from Amegakure who was displaying great power in front of him, snorted, and flew into the air, forming hand seals.

"Dust Escape Technique".

The next moment, a white beam of light shot out from his hand, instantly enveloping the female ninja at an extremely fast speed, so fast that she had no time to dodge.

In an instant, his entire body was dissolved and completely disappeared.

After doing all this, Onoki did not stop. He gave a soft shout, aimed at the Hiyakage ninja in the air, and manipulated the Dust Release: Disintegration Technique in his hand to spin in the air.

If they are touched by it, those flying ninjas will turn to ashes in an instant, and there is no way to escape.

As it spun around once, the sky, which had been filled with Hiei ninjas, instantly cleared up and became bright.

Onoki let out a soft sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sighed to himself, "Sigh, I really am getting old. I feel a bit tired even when fighting these people."

Whoosh! ! !
The next moment, a black shadow flashed by, and it was revealed that General Batou of the Flying Shadow unit had appeared behind Onoki at some point. He grinned maliciously and swung his claws straight at him.

"Old man, you've killed so many of my men, you've got what you deserve."

Upon seeing this, Kurotsuchi's expression changed. He kicked the shadowy ninja in front of him away and sped off towards Onoki.

"Old man, watch out!"

The claws swung, but just as it was about to strike, the Tsuchikage Onoki suddenly shifted his body upwards, barely dodging the attack.

After this move, Onoki chuckled, turned around, and the Dust Release: Demise Technique in his hand had already been formed.

"Don't underestimate this old man!"

Before General Bart could react, a beam of light struck him directly on the head, instantly dissolving him.

If you try to force this ninjutsu with your head, even Madara would probably be defeated here.

After finishing all this, looking at the anxious Kurotsuchi below, Onoki chuckled: "Hey, don't underestimate your grandpa. I'm still going strong."

Just after he finished speaking, his body suddenly stiffened, and a cracking sound rang out. Undoubtedly, his old problem had flared up again; his back had snapped, and he instantly lost all momentum, plummeting downwards.

Hei Tu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, froze and rushed over to catch his grandfather.

But someone was faster than her. A burly man sped away at an incredible speed, knocking away several ninjas blocking his way, and caught Onoki below.

Seeing who had made the move, Heitu breathed a sigh of relief; it was none other than her senior brother, Chitu.

Onoki breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Akatsuchi catch him. He was always kind to his guards, and said with a smile, "Haha, thank you so much again..."

As he said these words, he did not notice the blue light that flashed in Akatsuchi's eyes.

The next moment, Onoki's expression suddenly froze, his face filled with disbelief as he stared blankly down. He saw Akatsuchi's hand holding a kunai and stabbing it into his chest. The intense pain sent a jolt through his mind, making him realize that what he was seeing was not an illusion, but a real event.

But as the Tsuchikage, he was experienced in battle and reacted quickly. He let out a soft shout, recklessly channeling his chakra, his arm solidifying into rock, and he punched Akatsuchi.

Akatsuchi seemed to have anticipated this, and quickly threw Onoki far away to dodge the attack.

Kurotsuchi arrived at lightning speed, quickly catching Onoki in her arms. She reached out and covered his wounds, saying in a trembling voice, "Old man, are you alright? Hang in there, I'll take you to a medical ninja right away. You won't die."

Just as he was checking his injuries, a figure silently appeared behind Kurotsuchi. Judging from his attire, he was a Konoha ninja. He raised his long sword and slashed fiercely.

Boom! Bang!
Suddenly, a loud bang rang out, and the ground collapsed, causing the Konoha ninja to pause in his movements, lose his balance, and drop his long sword to the ground.

The next moment, a burly man with yellow skin appeared in front of him, his arms as strong as steel, and grabbed his throat, his deep voice filled with anger.

What do you want to do to my daughter?

Without a moment's hesitation, he crushed the man's throat.

This scene was not uncommon in the arena. Many ninjas suddenly turned against each other, as if they were being controlled, and began to kill their teammates who were fighting alongside them.

Moreover, the identities of each person who betrayed them were unexpected; it was impossible to imagine that some were brothers who betrayed them, while others were comrades-in-arms with whom they had shared life and death for more than ten years who betrayed them.

At this moment, the entire battlefield descended into chaos, utterly disordered, and an eerie atmosphere enveloped the area.

Many of the weak ninjas had broken down; they could no longer distinguish between enemies and friends.

"Damn it, what's going on?!"

"Why, why!? Ah!!"

"Fu Yi, why did you kill your son? He was your son!!"

Despair and fear gripped the area.

Roughly estimated, at least 20% of the people who defected this time. To put that into perspective, out of 20,000 people, a full 2,000 were undercover agents. How is that possible?

What's even more terrifying is that you can't tell if other people are also enemies. Even family members can be enemies, so who can you trust?
It's unimaginable what kind of method this is.

Looking at the chaotic situation, Huang Tu took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said to Kurotsuchi, who was holding Onoki, "Come on, come with me. We'll leave here. Don't trust anyone from now on, not even the people from our village."

At this moment, Onoki had completely fallen into a coma due to his injuries, and was only breathing faintly.

Suppressing his grief, Heitu looked at his calm father, nodded, and left with him.

At this very moment, this situation is playing out not only here, but in all three battlefields.

Many ninjas suddenly flashed blue light in their eyes, and then directly turned their weapons and ninjutsu on their comrades, slaughtering them mercilessly.

Just as Chen Feng said, the overall situation has now been reversed.

Faced with this situation, the Allied Shinobi Forces can be said to have collapsed. This tactic is many times more effective than White Zetsu's disguise...
