I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

The bull demon's mood began to sink.

There was a real sense of illusion that the advantages of being a monster no longer existed at this moment.

This human before me seems to be able to borrow the power belonging to demons!

"Be careful,"

"I'm not just an Onmyoji."

Sensing the opening in his opponent's mindset, Huang slowly spoke up to warn him.

"I am still a ninja who inherits the name of Uchiha."

'boom. ’

With a dull thud, the Bull Demon's blade, which had been gradually increasing in strength, slashed through the air.

Upon closer inspection, several more sword-wielding youths appeared in his field of vision, each exuding a similar aura.

"Then, let's do it again!"

Chapter 384 The Hidden Clouds' Waiting, The Undercurrents of the Land of Iron

When the blazing sun climbed over the mountains and into the sky, the Land of Hot Springs had already returned to its former state.

The deep purple barrier technique that had been hovering in the sky, 【Eight Gates Closure】, collapsed, and the shattered corpses lying across the streets and alleys were swept away. Apart from some undeniable traces of battle, the entire area looked as if nothing had ever happened.

This sudden night raid had no winners.

Neither the White Zetsu, skilled at stealth, nor the elites from Root were able to successfully transmit what they saw and heard in the city.

But there are undoubtedly losers.

A fully organized regular army of the Land of Iron was completely wiped out in the northern border of the Land of Hot Springs. The elite members of Root, painstakingly gathered by Danzo Shimura, were imprisoned in the city and all perished.

Within the Lightning Squad, dozens of ninjas lay eternally asleep on this land. Some of the fallen even had their remains not fully pieced together, turning into a bloody mist amidst the exploding tags, along with the Root ninjas who knew they could not escape.

Although such losses seem insignificant compared to the Land of Iron and the Root of Konoha.

However, it should be noted that these dozen or so ninjas already make up one-tenth of the total number of ninjas in this emerging force!

Overnight, an elite ninja force from a major power reduced their strength to such a degree, especially considering they were on their own main battlefield. No one could be optimistic about such a result.

In this tacit alliance among the four nations, the only one that can be considered to have suffered no significant losses is probably the Land of Lightning.

"Captain Salui, the barrier surrounding the Land of Hot Springs has disappeared."

"What should we do next? Should we go straight in?"

Two or three miles away from the Land of Hot Water, in the woods, hundreds of elite ninjas with their auras concealed stood, their identities clearly identified by the iron headbands tied around their foreheads.

He is a ninja from Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village).

"No, wait."

Upon hearing this, the burly man called the captain immediately rejected the suggestion.

Although he didn't think the so-called lightning bolt contained much power, the five people who claimed to be hunting ninjas and the barrier technique that enveloped the Land of Hot Springs overnight made him wary.

Blindly believing in the enemy's weakness is the most direct cause of one's own death!

Although Kumogakure is martial,

Most people, including those in positions of power, prefer to resolve issues with their fists, but that doesn't mean they lack common sense.

Especially those who can serve as action team leaders are not just good at fighting.

"Captain, are you worried that the relatively unknown [Thunderbolt Group] might pose a threat to us?"

He speculated from his side.

And from his expression and tone, one could discern a hint of contempt.

However, this is understandable, after all, the Hidden Cloud Village where it is located is at the top of the entire ninja world, how can it be compared to a barely established force?

Despite sensing the disdain in his subordinates' eyes, the caution in Salui's eyes did not diminish.

"The Xuanyuan Clan, barrier masters, this is not something a newly emerging force can possess."

"Even with the wealth of the Nishitani Daimyo in this country, it is not certain that we can hire all of these powerful individuals."

"Moreover, the finances of the Kingdom of Hot Springs have been rather tight in recent years."

The leader clearly had some understanding of this neighboring country. These situations, which shouldn't have occurred, were now all happening in this emerging power, which was practically telling that there was something fishy going on in that city!

If their [Shadow] hadn't been ambushed by the Xuanyuan Clan in the past, and hadn't later emphasized to all the ninjas in the village the strange abilities possessed by those five, this trip probably wouldn't have progressed so smoothly.

because,

Even if one side makes a judgment and takes a breathless retreat at the first moment of the encounter.

However, dozens of their companions lost their combat ability after inhaling the invisible [Exploding Bugs] and were urgently escorted back to the village.

Of course, the most important point is that the so-called companions did not appear.

Or perhaps it already existed, but an unexpected event occurred.

After all, the other party had said so before he left.

At least three forces will be involved in this operation to surround this emerging power that poses a hidden threat, but so far only the Cloud Village faction has been able to approach the capital of the Land of Hot Water.

Looking into the distance,

The wide-open city gates resembled a ferocious beast with its jaws agape, awaiting the entry of all enemies.

Looking back now, their progress this time was perhaps a little too smooth.

Apart from the initial encounter with the five Xuan Yuans, they encountered no significant resistance along the way, only hastily laid traps. It seemed as if the so-called "Lightning Group" had completely given up on stopping their advance.

However, when they reached the edge of the Land of Hot Water, the barrier that enveloped the entire Land of Hot Water stopped them in their tracks.

There are only two possibilities for this to occur:

Firstly, knowing they were outmatched by the invading mercenary ninjas belonging to the [Lightning Squad], they chose to keep all their personnel holed up in the city, hoping to rely on barrier techniques to resist their arrival.

Secondly, as mentioned above, this action was not only carried out by the Land of Lightning, but other forces were also filled with doubt and vigilance about this suddenly emerging power, and therefore also dispatched troops to try to find out everything.

That other force had already entered the city ahead of ours.

Currently, the two sides are engaged in fierce fighting.

And the latter is more likely!

According to what was said above, once they arrived at the castle of the Land of Hot Water, they would naturally know who the enemies were and who the partners were.

However, upon seeing the defensive barrier standing in his field of vision, Salui had no choice but to halt his advance.

Because he knew clearly that such a barrier technique was not something that his vanguard force could break through.

Only by waiting for their own reinforcements to follow up, or for another force within the region to find and eliminate the barrier master who cast the sealing spell, can they suppress this emerging force in two ways.

Other than that,

Of course, there was also a personal motive.

Why send the ninjas from Kumogakure to wade into this mess first?

The principle of "when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits" is something even a three-year-old child in the village understands.

"Continue to wait, maintain vigilance around the perimeter, and set up traps on the outer edge, awaiting further instructions from headquarters."

Therefore, after a short period of deliberation, Salui made his decision in his letter.

Although he had absolute information about himself and his subordinates, he still wouldn't gamble on an uncertain situation.

"Yes."

Upon receiving the order, the Cloud Village ninjas immediately dispersed and began making preparations.

"Oh, right, send another small team to the northern border of the Land of Hot Springs."

"Go and see how the army of the Land of Iron is doing. Why haven't they advanced as ordered? What are they waiting for!"

Suddenly, Sarui recalled the message his side had received from headquarters upon arriving in the Frost Kingdom:

The Iron Country, which is neutral towards foreign powers, has also participated in this operation and has already dispatched thousands of samurai to the border of the Hot Country ahead of them.

That was a genuine, regular army!

Although the samurai class is becoming increasingly weak in this world, those decaying fellows can still unleash formidable fighting power when they are numerous and engaged in close combat.

In particular, the general of that country.

It is said that his Iaijutsu has reached its peak, and even the Kage of each village dare not underestimate him.

"Yes!"

Without any hesitation, a ninja responded instantly and then left the group on his own.

This is the execution power of the five great ninja villages!

Meanwhile, a fully armed squad of warriors arrived from the north, weary from their journey.

The leader was a bald man with a cold face. He had an unnamed pattern painted on his left forehead and a cross-shaped scar on his right forehead.

The horrific scar ran down from his forehead to his jaw, naturally passing over his tightly closed right eye.

"I can see it now,"

"Faster!"

When the rows of marching tents came into view on the horizon, Chongjie breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It's not too late, there's still time.

That reckless fool dared to act without the General's knowledge.

Does everyone think the Commander-in-Chief is already old?

[It seems that after this incident, the Land of Iron will also need to thoroughly clean up its ranks!]

[Including those bastard ninja villages that dared to involve samurai!!]

A shadow fell over his eyes.

Although the Land of Iron has maintained its northern dominance over the years, it also possesses military strength that forces all sides to take seriously.
