Chapter 154 A New Bloodline Limit? A Fleeting Dream! (Please subscribe and vote!)
Genichi Kishita wasn't the only one who didn't appear on the front lines.

The same applies to Minato Namikaze.

War is not only about the main battlefield, but also about intelligence, supply lines behind enemy lines, and other fierce battles that take place around the main battlefield.

Of course, Genichi under the tree does look rather idle.

After returning from the Land of Earth, he seemed to enter a state of seclusion.

Outside, Minato Namikaze and Sakumo Hatake were both extremely busy.

Time passed little by little, and Sunagakure made its way into the Land of Fire.

In December, Sunagakure suddenly withdrew its troops from the Land of Rain and instead joined the battlefield in the Land of Fire. They then captured Kikyo Castle, an important town on the border of the Land of Fire, and occupied Kikyo Mountain as a strategic location.

When Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, heard the news, his face turned grim, and he even had the urge to invade the Land of Wind once again.

But he held back, keeping his eyes fixed on the map, and decided to wait for another opportunity.

……

Hidden Leaf Village.

At 8 PM, in the laboratory of Konoha Hospital, Genichi Kinoshita was dissecting the body of the Third Raikage.

Nearby, shadow clones were using microscopes and other instruments to observe the cells of the Third Raikage, and others were analyzing the Third Raikage's genes.

One person is extremely busy.

There was nothing they could do; Tsunade and the others were still on the battlefield.

"Lord Xuanyi, the Hokage summons you!"

Suddenly, an ANBU ninja appeared at the door.

Without even looking up, Shuxia Xuan replied, "I understand, I'll be right there."

The ANBU ninja nodded, then disappeared.

Genichi created another clone to take his place, then took off his protective suit and left the laboratory.

Inside the Hokage's office.

Upon meeting Genichi under the tree, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't exchange many pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Genichi, Jiraiya's side is ready for a counterattack. You and Minato will lead a raid on Kirigakure's rear."

"We must crush the Hidden Mist in one fell swoop!"

Under the tree, Genichi replied, "Understood!"

This is to replicate the plan that was previously implemented.

Of course, the situation is different now than before.

Having learned its lesson, Kirigakure did not place its supplies on the island this time, as it was too far from the front lines.

Instead, they were deployed close to the front lines and heavily guarded.

Furthermore, as the battle lines moved forward, the supply depots also moved forward.

Although doing so would increase logistical pressure, the fact that the war with Sunagakure ended resulted in more troops and thus a better outcome.

Although Konoha was extremely annoyed by their logistical harassment, they were not completely destroyed like last time.

After explaining his plan in detail, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "Genichi, can you do it?"

Genichi thought for a moment and said, "Identifying the logistics base of Kirigakure is very simple."

"There's no problem with infiltrating from the air."

"However, it will definitely be discovered immediately, so there is not much time for preparation and arrangements."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "So the tactical objective this time is not to destroy Kirigakure's supplies, but to shake Kirigakure's battle line from the rear and create an opportunity for Jiraiya and the others."

"I have secretly reinforced our troops. Once we break through the Kirigakure defenses, it will be difficult for Kirigakure to retreat as easily as last time."

Last time, it was actually the Hidden Mist Village that took the initiative to withdraw in an orderly manner after seeing that their logistics had been completely destroyed.

This time, Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly reinforced his troops, and after the reinforcements were added, the troops remained hidden and did not appear on the battlefield to prevent Kirigakure from noticing.

The goal is to crush the Hidden Mist battlefield head-on and bring about its complete collapse.

This can be described as a major decisive battle at a certain stage!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was determined to end the war with Kirigakure temporarily this year, and then gather his forces after the new year to attack Sunagakure, which had occupied Kikyo Mountain.

“It can be done.”

Genichi Kishita, having seen through Hiruzen Sarutobi's plan, thought for a moment and then said, "We can bring Yokura along on this mission."

"Scorching Release?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi considered it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

One is the power of the Scorch Release, and the other is to awaken the fear of the Mist Ninja towards Scorch Release, striking them psychologically and in terms of morale.

"Go and get ready. We'll set off with Minato tomorrow."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said in his final words.

……

Back in the lab, Genichi Kishita had just put on his protective suit to continue studying the Third Raikage's corpse when a memory fed back from a shadow clone appeared in his mind.

Ok?
Shuxia Xuanyi stopped in his tracks: "Bloodline Limit?"

"Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water?"

Genichi under the tree perked up: "Mirror Flower Water Moon has become a Bloodline Limit?"

He quickly sat down to the side, lowered his eyes, and began to refine his chakra.

The Yin Release nature transformation combined with the Water Release nature transformation resulted in a new nature transformation.

What kind of escape is this?

Genichi under the tree was also a little confused at this moment.

Mirror Flower Water Moon is an illusion, but it is not a simple illusion of Yin Release nature transformation. Rather, it is cast by using Water Release.

It can be described as a combination of Yin Release and Water Release genjutsu.

Later, unable to change the terrible cost of Izanagi due to his research, Genichi Koushi conceived the idea of ​​further modifying and improving the illusion technique, Kyoka Suigetsu.

I never expected that a bloodline limit would be created.

In fact, Genichi Koushi, who had previously been inspired by Yekura to try developing a bloodline limit based on techniques, did not set his sights on the technique Kyoka Suigetsu.

But after the initial confusion came immense joy.

The new nature transformation chakra appeared, and the cells, which were already highly active under the blessing of the Soldier Technique, actively accepted this new power.

The changes in his body far surpass those when he first mastered Ice Release.

After sensing the changes in his body, Genichi Shushita felt more and more that he was on the right path.

Cellular activity maintains the cell's strong vitality and gives it a powerful instinct for growth and evolution.

There's also the development of bloodline limits based on techniques, and Kyoka Suigetsu seems to be more representative than the previous Tengan.

As for what it's called...

Genichi under the tree thought for a moment and decided, "Let's call it 'Mirror Flower, Water Moon'!"

"It's like controlling your five senses."

"Like Kaguya Otsutsuki's many bloodline limits, they only have the names of the techniques."

Bloodline Limit - Kyoka Suigetsu!

As for the results, they were largely in line with our initial expectations.

"Let's test its effectiveness during tomorrow's battle..."

Xuan Yi got up under the tree and continued working.

They're getting more and more motivated!

The next day.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Genichi Kinoshita and Yekura met up with Minato Namikaze and the others at the village entrance.

However, besides Minato Namikaze and his group, there is also Shinnosuke Sarutobi, who belongs to Genichi Koushi's team.

"Xuan Yi, I didn't expect to be on a mission with you."

Obito Uchiha was quite surprised.

Genichi Shushita greeted everyone with a smile: "Everyone, long time no see! You look quite different!"

Obito Uchiha sized up Genichi Kinoshita and muttered somewhat irritably, "Hey, are you talking about yourself?"

"By the way, what did you eat? Why are you growing so fast?"

As peers, he and Kakashi are about the same height.

But what about Genichi Shushita?
He's already over 1.7 meters tall, and he doesn't look much different from an adult young man like Minato Namikaze.

Under the tree, Genichi spread his hands and laughed, "Who told me to be such a big eater?"

Nohara Rin couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh upon hearing this.

Genichi immediately teased, "Rin, you're getting prettier and prettier. I wonder which guy will end up with her!"

Rin Nohara blushed, but smiled gracefully and said, "It'll be a long time!"

He said this, but out of the corner of his eye he glanced at Kakashi, who had no expression.

Genichi Kishita also noticed that Obito Uchiha was secretly watching Rin Nohara.

As for Minato Namikaze and Shinnosuke Sarutobi, their gazes were fixed on Yoruichiro, who was wearing a mask.

Even Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't know Yekura's true identity.

However, noticing the two people's gazes, Genichi Kishita did not introduce them.

They can recognize Yekura's identity, but they cannot reveal it publicly.

There are some things you can do, but you can't say.

"Minato-nii, Shinnosuke-senpai, let's go!"

After the teasing ended, Xuan Yidao appeared under the tree.

Minato Namikaze and Shinnosuke Sarutobi nodded, and then set off together.

Genichi and Kakashi chatted under a tree on the road.

Seeing the two chatting so enthusiastically, Obito Uchiha chimed in, "Xuan Yi, what missions have you been busy with? I never see you around?"

Kakashi immediately said coldly, "Idiot, Genichi is in the Anbu, and all missions are kept secret."

Obito Uchiha, realizing he was in the wrong, quickly tried to make amends: "Then could you tell me about this mission?"

Shuxia Xuanyi smiled and said, "I can certainly talk about that."

"This mission is extremely important; it is the key to the outcome of the Kirigakure War."

Obito Uchiha's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this; he loved missions like this. He quickly asked, "What's the content?"

"Could it be a decapitation strike against the Hidden Mist Command?"

Kakashi's sharp tongue rang out: "In a war like this, the command center is important, but not that important."

"The decapitation command alone obviously cannot directly determine the outcome of a large-scale war."

Obito Uchiha retorted, "You arrogant Kakashi, what do you think you are?"

Kakashi said calmly, "If it were that easy to know, I would be a Jonin!"

Obito Uchiha sneered.

Kakashi added, "As a genin, you should just follow orders and not hold the team back."

Obito Uchiha's fist hardened again.

Watching the two bicker under the tree was quite amusing for Genichi, making the journey less tedious.

One p.m.

Genichi and the others arrived at the battlefield and met Commander Jiraiya.

However, the operation did not begin immediately. After some discussion, Genichi and the others began to rest.

After nightfall.

Everyone gathered together, but Nohara Rin was missing.

Nohara Rin is not participating in this operation; she is currently helping out in the medical team.

Therefore, there are a total of six people on this mission.

Genichi Kinoshita, Yoruichi Hakura, Shinnosuke Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, Kakashi Uchiha, Obito Uchiha.

Compared to the team lineup last time, this one doesn't look very strong.

However, Yekura is a Jonin with a bloodline limit, and was once hated by the Mist Ninja.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke, a Jonin of the Anbu, is sixteen or seventeen years old this year.

Minato Namikaze, 21 years old, Yellow Flash, Konoha Jonin.

Kakashi, a Chunin, but possesses Jonin-level strength.

Obito Uchiha was a genin, the weakest, but when he got serious, he actually had the strength of a chunin.

Well, it's really not comparable.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Orochimaru was in the Land of Rain, and Fugaku Uchiha was also fighting against Iwagakure there.

Mokumo Kōdō is serving as the commander of the border defense forces, guarding against possible Iwa ninjas from the Land of Grass.

Of course, Konoha has more than just these elites, but with war on all sides, the pool of potential candidates is indeed limited. Genichi Kinoshita seems sufficient.

Under the dim light, Xuan Yi spread out a simple map under the tree.

Xuan Yi pointed to the four red crosses above and said, "These four places are the logistics nodes of Wuyin. All supplies will enter here first and then be transported to the front line."

"In fact, this place is very close to the front line, less than 5 kilometers away, while the command post of the Hidden Mist is actually behind it."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke said, "In other words, Kirigakure's logistics base is now surrounded by Kirigakure ninja."

"That's right. One of our mission objectives is these two logistics nodes."

Genichi pointed to the two red crosses in the middle: "These two nodes are about 20 kilometers apart. In addition to the at least twenty guards at the logistics point itself, there are also rotating support troops from the Mist Ninja stationed in between."

These were all things he had perceived with his clairvoyance that afternoon.

Under normal circumstances, knowing this intelligence wouldn't be of much use, as Konoha doesn't have any airborne troops.

Or to put it another way, for ordinary ninjas, being airdropped in would just be suicide missions.

"There are many guards, and once a move is made, the Mist Ninja at the front and rear can react quickly, as can the Mist Ninja on the flanks and even the rear."

Minato Namikaze said with a solemn expression.

Genichiro nodded: "So, simply disrupting the enemy's logistics doesn't actually have that much of an impact on Kirigakure, because we can't destroy everything at once."

"These two logistical points serve the secondary objective as the primary objective."

"In other words, destroying them was just to attract the enemy's attention and incidentally cause some panic."

"The key to victory or defeat lies in the chaos and destructive power we create behind enemy lines."

"And once we launch our attack, Jiraiya-sama, who has received the signal, will immediately launch a full-scale attack."

Genichi Shushita slapped his hand on the map: "Our ultimate mission is actually to shake the enemy's battle line from the rear, so that we can quickly break through on the front lines and then cause the entire Mist Ninja line to collapse."

Obito Uchiha couldn't help but ask in confusion, "This is very difficult, after all, there are only six of us, and our influence is limited."

Genichi chuckled, "Obito, don't underestimate our power!"

"Alright, next is the specific tactical planning."

"I'll lead the attack on point A. Once we make the move, we'll immediately draw out the surrounding Mist Ninja. Then, Minato, you guys can launch a surprise attack on point B. After that, don't stop, immediately head towards point A and rejoin us."

"After that, we need to hold point A for a while and keep drawing the enemy over."

At this point, Kakashi asked, "If the effect is not as expected, for example, if the Mist Ninja at the front choose to ignore the movements in the rear, that is possible."

Minato Namikaze nodded approvingly: "Kakashi is right. After the last incident, the Mist Ninja should have some countermeasures in place."

Genichiro nodded: "So, if things don't go as expected, then we should take the initiative to launch an attack on the Mist Ninja front."

Obito Uchiha was stunned: "This...this is too crazy!"

Kakashi retorted sharply, "If you're scared, then don't go."

Obito Uchiha immediately straightened his neck: "I'm not scared, it's just... I just think this plan is too amazing."

Minato Namikaze laughed and said, "Obito, what seems like a crazy plan is actually highly feasible."

"Because if we take the initiative to attack the rear of the Mist Ninja front, we will actually not face many enemies in a short period of time."

"As long as you don't stay in one place for too long, there won't be any major problems."

Xuan nodded under the tree.

This battlefield is not like the one where Iwagakure besieged the Third Raikage and his forces, where seven or eight thousand people formed a dense encirclement; the battlefield area is much smaller.

The battlefields here are extremely widespread.

This can be seen from the fact that there are four logistics points set up in Fog Shadow, which are so far apart from each other.

"Okay, that's the situation."

"Now it's time to take action."

Shuxia Xuanqi got up and was the first to walk out of the tent, followed by the others.

With his hands forming a hand seal, Xuan Yi summoned the tiger-headed eagle from under the tree.

The tiger-headed eagle had grown increasingly large. Obito Uchiha, standing there, was not even as tall as the eagle's legs. He looked up and exclaimed in astonishment, "So...so powerful!"

"Everyone, come up!"

Xuan Yi leaped from the tree and landed on the tiger-headed eagle's back.

"Obito, let's go!"

Minato Namikaze shouted and leaped into the air.

Once everyone had come up, Xuan Yi under the tree said, "Tiger Head!"

The tiger-headed eagle roared, then with a boom, it flapped its wings and soared into the dark night sky at a 45-degree angle.

Obito Uchiha lost his footing and was almost blown away by the strong wind, but fortunately he was caught by Minato Namikaze, who quickly used chakra to stick to the back of the tiger-headed eagle.

Once it reached an altitude of 800 meters, the tiger-headed eagle flew towards its destination.

Because the battlefield was in a vast forest, the Mist Ninja did not deploy any flying ninja beasts for aerial surveillance.

The logistics depot had cleared out the nearby woods, providing excellent aerial visibility, which was more than enough for people to keep watch directly from the treetops.

Upon arriving above target point A, Genichi first created a shadow clone, then left the Flying Thunder God mark on Yekura and Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

Then, to Obito Uchiha's astonishment, Genichi Shushita leaped off the tiger-headed eagle's back and swooped down.

The wind whistled in his ears, and Xuan Yi's waist-length hair danced wildly under the tree.

When they were 100 meters above the ground, the ninja on guard finally felt the whooshing sound coming from above. When they looked up, their expressions immediately changed.

"Enemy attack!"

"up in the air!"

Several Mist Ninja shouted in succession, which immediately alerted more than a dozen other Mist Ninja.

When the ground was less than 100 meters away and the mist ninja at the top of the tree was less than 50 meters away, Genichi clasped his hands together and opened his mouth to spew out a violent storm.

Rumble!
The air currents are rolling and moving.

At the top of the tree, the Mist Ninja also launched their attacks.

They might use Water Release to spew out water jets, or Fire Release, or Wind Release, but more often they use shuriken, or kunai with explosive tags attached.

However, all of these were blown down by the strong wind that broke through the tree.

boom!
The sweeping air currents shook the trees, then bombarded the ground, stirring up billowing dust.

Fortunately, the warehouse was built with large, sturdy timbers and was not breached.

But this attack directly caused the Mist Ninja to lose their sight.

After using Wind Release, Genichi immediately threw a kunai, which, under the cover of the gale and dust, became embedded in the roof of a warehouse.

As the Mist Ninja tore through the smoke and dust in search of Genichi under the tree, he had already quietly appeared on the rooftop and formed hand seals.

Flying Thunder God Technique, a jutsu for summoning spirits!

Bang bang!

Yekura and Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who were on the back of the tiger-headed eagle, were directly summoned to the roof by Genichi Kinoshita.

shhhhh!

The moment they appeared, Yekura and Sarutobi Shinnosuke vanished from their spot.

"what!"

The ninja screamed in agony as Sarutobi Shinnosuke drew his sword and instantly killed one of them. At the same time, he flicked his left hand, sending a kunai with an explosive tag flying through the window into the warehouse.

"it's here!"

The screams alerted the ninja, who immediately spotted Genichi under the tree on the roof.

Just as the four Mist Ninja were about to pounce, their bodies stiffened, their faces contorted in pain, and when they looked down, they saw a fireball spinning between their chests and abdomens.

Genichi disappeared from the rooftop, his figure flashing as shrill screams rang out one after another, and the corpses of the Mist Ninja fell to the ground.

He held a sword in each hand, with wind-style chakra flowing across them, shimmering with a blazing white light that was exceptionally dazzling in the darkness.

"It's Konoha White Fang!"

"what!"

Terrified shouts and screams rang out one after another.

From the moment Genichi used Wind Release under the tree, in less than two minutes, the three had slaughtered all twenty Mist Ninja.

Immediately afterwards, several warehouses were blown up and set ablaze, becoming blazing torches in the night sky.

In the air, after seeing the flames soaring into the sky below, Xuan Yi's shadow clone under the tree immediately sent the tiger-headed eagle to target point B.

Such a huge commotion immediately alerted the Mist Ninjas on both sides of Target Point A, and reinforcements quickly moved in.

Meanwhile, the command headquarters at the rear was also alerted.

However, instead of sending reinforcements immediately, they dispatched a reconnaissance team.

Similarly, the Mist Ninja on the eastern front were also alerted, but they did not turn around to deal with them.

This was a contingency plan that had been in place for some time.

Sensing this, Genichi Kishita couldn't help but smile: "It seems the Mist Ninja are quite cautious!"

The towering flames flickered as Yekura and Sarutobi Shinnosuke, having searched thoroughly and not missed a single Mist Ninja, and finished off each one, approached Genichi under the tree.

"Next, we just need to wait for the Kirigakure reinforcements. Once we take care of them, there will be commotion at the front and in the rear as well."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

Yekura looked eastward: "Actually, we can directly attack the Kirigakure's front line."

Genichi Shushita shook his head: "We need to put enough psychological pressure on the Mist Ninja before we can have a significant impact on the battle lines."

Psychological warfare is also very important.

If the commotion behind is large enough, the Mist Ninja in front might think there is a large-scale attack coming from behind, and in their suspicion, they might shake the entire battle line.

With Jiraiya and his men secretly reinforced, another charge would easily overwhelm the Mist Ninja.

Ten kilometers is not a very long distance for ninjas on a forced march.

After waiting for a moment, Genichi under the tree suddenly said, "They're here!"

"The closest distance is less than three miles!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Yoshikura immediately vanished, disappearing into the darkness of the forest where the firelight couldn't reach.

Soon, the sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

Almost simultaneously, ninja from the mist arrived from both the left and right sides.

Under the firelight, Genichi clasped his hands together, and water droplets quickly condensed around him, forming a swirling stream that surged upwards and then crashed against the Mist Ninja attacking from both sides like a tidal wave.

The Mist Ninja used either Fire Release or Water Release techniques to counter Genichi's Water Release.

Amidst the roar, water splashed everywhere, and steam rose.

Under the firelight, Xuan Yi's figure appeared somewhat distorted under the tree.

Meanwhile, a ninja skilled in silent assassination appeared behind Genichi Kinoshita and plunged a knife into his body.

However, to the astonishment of the Mist Ninja, Genichi Kishita turned around, his body unaffected by the slash, as if the blade had pierced through an illusion.

But when it's pierced, it really feels like real flesh.

"Illusion?"

The Mist Ninja reacted extremely quickly and immediately began to retreat.

But Genichi reached out and grabbed his face. Then, with a bang, the water exploded, the Mist Ninja's head hit the ground, he groaned as his skull cracked open, and blood spurted from his seven orifices.

"It wasn't an illusion after all..."

The ninja's consciousness froze.

At this moment, a fire attack and a water attack came from the left and right, simultaneously striking Xuan Yi under the tree, causing water vapor to rise.

When the moisture dissipated, Xuan Yi stood unharmed under the tree.

"what happened?"

"Did you use a substitution jutsu?"

"This guy looks like... Genichi Kinoshita!"

The ninja were shocked, and even more terrified after recognizing Genichi Kinoshita.

And screams echoed from within the woods.

It was Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Hakura who had been lying in wait who made their move.

They let the first Mist Ninja who arrived escape, and then launched a sneak attack on the Mist Ninja who arrived later.

Genichi Kishita, who tried out the effects of the new bloodline limit "Kyoka Suigetsu," was very satisfied.

Swish!
He vanished from his spot and suddenly appeared in front of a stunned Mist Ninja, grabbed his neck and snapped it with a snap, then flung him towards another Mist Ninja.

Seeing their companion flying towards them, the Mist Ninja knew there was definitely a deadly trap behind them, so they gritted their teeth and dodged, ignoring it.

But while he was in the air, Xuan Yi descended from the sky and stomped him into the water.

Suddenly, a stream of water surged up from behind Xuan Yi under the tree, binding and restraining him like a whip.

Immediately, two ninjas appeared from the left and right sides, their ninja swords crossing and piercing Genichi's body under the tree.
