Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 204 Hiding

"Don't panic, everyone!"

The Iwa ninja, located on another battlefield, were also thrown into a brief state of panic by Toshiro's genjutsu.

However, these Iwa ninjas, who were used to team battles, soon began to use some ninjutsu similar to Earth Wall under the command of the Jonin in charge, creating some obstacles such as cover for themselves.

Or they might slowly sink themselves underground to avoid potential attacks.

"Phew! That was close! Luckily, Toshiro's illusion technique worked in time, otherwise I would have been in danger~"

Just then, Uchiha Tetsuya, who had just been subjected to a concentrated attack by Iwa ninja, finally felt relieved.

Given his strength, if he were to endure the concentrated attacks of the enemy for an extended period, this would be his limit. If Toshiro's genjutsu doesn't activate soon, some casualties on his side would be inevitable.

"Has everyone arrived? Are there any casualties?"

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Uchiha Tetsuya looked at the large group of companions gathered in front of him and asked a question!

"You should worry about yourself!"

"I'm fine, but it's Toshiro's turn..."

Homura, who had just arrived with Uchiha Ryuka and Asaka and their companions, took a moment to inquire about the condition of her 'lover'.

Seeing that the other party was not seriously injured, his expression softened slightly. Noticing the other party's initial reaction to Toshiro's condition, he interrupted, saying:

"Instead of worrying about his situation, we should take action sooner rather than later. Once we've dealt with our opponent, things will be much easier for him!"

"That's true!"

"In that case, let's proceed with the plan we discussed earlier!"

After saying this, Uchiha Tetsuya looked up at his companions. Seeing that everyone nodded, indicating that he was ready, he didn't delay any longer.

Launch the next offensive!

It turns out that Toshiro and the others had already discussed it before taking action.

After launching the first round of explosive tags, Toshiro raised a barrier to conceal the activity within the base and confine the Iwa ninja within it.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Tetsuya and his group, along with varying numbers of their clansmen, began harvesting the wounded within the stronghold.

At the same time, Toshiro used sound illusion to suppress the Iwa ninja who had just escaped from the first round of attacks, and also to find the Iwa ninja who were hiding on the ground.

After completing these two phases of the operational plan, they will decide how to deal with the Iwa ninja's counterattack, depending on the situation.

However, judging from the current situation, Toshiro has clearly decided to launch a third offensive, using this large-scale illusion he has prepared as cover.

"Earth Escape - Earthquake Core"

Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Flame Bullet

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Tetsu and Uchiha Ryuka unleashed their prepared ninjutsu one after another.

Uchiha Tetsu didn't have much to say; he simply used the Earth Core ninjutsu to force the Iwa ninja hiding underground to come out.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Ryuka used the Phoenix Flower Flame Bullet ninjutsu developed by Toshiro.

Instead of unleashing multiple fireballs at once, they fired them one by one, filling the air with fire-attribute chakra, and began bombarding the Iwa ninja hiding behind cover.

When these highly compressed fire-style chakras touch those obstacles, they often erupt into a fairly powerful explosion, generating a large ball of flame that throws the hiding Iwa ninja into a panic.

He was then killed by Flame and Asaka, who were waiting nearby, along with their companions.

It wasn't that these Iwa ninjas didn't know how to resist, but rather that at this moment, they were all in an illusion.

Their opponents, on the other hand, possessed an intimate knowledge of their surroundings thanks to the Sharingan, a bloodline limit.

What's even more troublesome is that Uchiha Homura will also appropriately conceal the whereabouts of her own people based on her own needs.

Although she couldn't fully control the illusion, under Toshiro's tutelage, she could still manipulate the illusions on a small scale.

This caused the Iwa ninja who attempted to resist to all fail and ultimately lose their lives in vain.

Of course, there were also some Iwa ninja who were unwilling to sit idly by and wait for their deaths, and they would occasionally launch sneak attacks on them from underground.

However, things didn't go as planned. They were often killed by Uchiha Asaka, who wielded the Chidori Spear, before they could even get close to their enemies.

This playmate, who is the same age as Toshiro, has a remarkable talent for lightning-attribute techniques and can be said to have perfectly mastered the ninjutsu that Toshiro "stole".

With guidance from their companions, they easily killed the Iwa ninja who were trying to ambush them.

"What should we do?"

"If this drags on any longer, we're all finished!"

Among the Iwa ninja who had gathered, some were beginning to lose control of their fear and wanted to flee the place.

"Don't joke around! Hiding here might allow you to survive for a while, but once you get out and fall into that illusion, you won't even know how you died!"

"But just dragging this out and waiting to die isn't a solution!"

It's true what they said. Hiding underground or behind cover is fine, but once you reveal yourself, you don't know where the enemy's attack will come from.

At least they still have their companions here to look after them, which is one of the reasons why they haven't completely collapsed.

As for the other reasons...

"Has Captain Tuqiu's side not succeeded yet?"

He watched as his comrades were forced out of their hiding places by the enemy's village ninjutsu, and then killed by those unseen attacks.

Some of the Iwa ninja finally couldn't help but ask questions.

"It's not that simple. Since the opponent can cast illusions of this level, they're not someone who can be easily dealt with!"

"Instead of relying on Captain Tuqiu, we should figure out a solution ourselves!"

As he spoke, the Jonin from Iwa ninja began to form hand seals.

"Earth Escape: Earth Prison Barrier"

As the Jonin unleashed his ninjutsu, a massive, semi-circular rock cage, nearly 20 meters in diameter, enveloped the surviving Iwa ninja.

"Quick! Everyone, strengthen the defense against this ninjutsu! Once we hold out until the Jonin on the hill takes down that genjutsu ninja, we'll be saved!"

Actually, the other side didn't want to adopt this passive approach either; they were simply too passive if they couldn't see through the illusion.
