Especially on large-scale battlefields, the tailed beasts are such terrifying weapons of war that even Tsunade can only restrain them temporarily.
Tsunade's reminder startled Uchiha Sō, who realized he had underestimated his importance in Tsunade's eyes.
But that makes sense!
A woman who has just lost her younger brother and lover is likely to place her emotional attachment on a close young man who is similar in age to her brother.
What a pleasant surprise!
However, high-level hunters often appear as prey!
The more this is the case, the less I should rush things. To win over Tsunade, I need to change her perception of me as still a little brother and student.
It seems we'll need to unleash even greater power in the upcoming battle against Kirigakure.
He seized enough of the Six-Tails' chakra and displayed strength greater than Tsunade's, causing Tsunade's feelings for him to change from a brotherly affection to romantic love.
"Lady Tsunade, you should look at me with new eyes after just three days apart."
"My strength has grown significantly over the years. My research from back then has been successful. Yagura Karatachi, I look forward to fighting him!"
At such a crucial moment, Uchiha Sho naturally had to reveal some of his trump cards to Tsunade. A sense of security is also an important condition for winning over a girl.
Especially for a woman like Tsunade, who lost her loved ones in the war, great strength is essential to conquer her.
Tsunade still looks as youthful as ever. The Yin Seal has minimized the effects of time on her. With her dazzling blonde hair, she looks at him with some surprise.
"The bloodline enhancement plan you proposed back then actually succeeded?"
"Have you awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan?"
"No wonder you were confident in dealing with Yagura Karatachi. The Kaleidoscope Sharingan is indeed very effective against Jinchuriki."
"But you don't underestimate him. Even without releasing the Six-Tails, he is still a top-tier powerhouse."
Looking at the pair of blond headlights in front of her, even a top-of-the-line old A8 is still an A8, not to mention Tsunade is in her prime and has the Yin Seal, she looks to be in her twenties at most.
Uchiha Ei controlled his wavering mind, his expression cold, and said in a deep voice:
"I started preparing a long time ago, and I've already arranged for Kakashi and the others to take action."
"The mist gathered a large amount of water vapor, which rose upwards. Combined with the temperature difference between day and night in autumn, and the propulsion of their fire-style techniques, the friction of the air created a large number of thunderclouds, which were then directed toward the direction of the mist."
"At that time, I will have the advantage of timing, location, and popular support. Before the battle begins, I will use the Mangekyou Sharingan to cast genjutsu to hide myself."
"Once the Hidden Mist gets close, I will use Lightning Release ninjutsu as a guide to unleash the gathered lightning upon the Hidden Mist army. This will surely cripple them in one fell swoop. Even with the addition of the Six-Tails, the mere Yagura Karatachi cannot change the overall situation in such a hasty manner."
""
Chapter 23, Ten Thousand Thunderous Demons
"Brother Xiang, enough thunderclouds have gathered..."
Upon completing his mission, Uchiha Igaku immediately reported to Uchiha Sō and Tsunade.
"The reconnaissance team has reported that Kirigakure is gradually approaching Mount Nara. I'll leave the assault team to you, Lady Tsunade. Come with me and teach the Kirigakure ninja a lesson."
"Okay!" "Hey!"
Dozens of figures responded loudly to Uchiha Sho's instructions, and then disappeared along with their trusted superiors from behind the outer wall of the Nara Mountain base.
……
About ten kilometers away from Mount Nara, Yagura Karatachi, with his light blue hair, was leading a group of nearly two hundred Kirigakure ninja, including Mei Terumi, Suigetsu Hozuki, Kaguya Taketori, and Kaze Minazuki, to make final preparations before launching their attack.
"Mei Terumi, have you made any progress on the intelligence analysis I asked you to do regarding this Konoha unit led by the Uchiha clan?"
While inspecting all the various ninja tools carried by the Kirigakure troops, Yagura frowned slightly and asked Mei Terumi beside him in an expectant tone.
"This task is indeed very difficult!"
Mei Terumi sighed and cast a resentful gaze toward Suigetsu Hozuki.
"If Shuiyue's clone had been discovered a little later, I probably could have analyzed a few more things."
"Ming, let's not talk about whether it's still around or not. Just tell me what we know!"
Minazuki Kaze gazed towards the direction of Mount Nara, his tone heavy.
"The fact that they were able to quickly eliminate four Jonin and their ninja squad from Mount Nara within such a short period of time before providing support demonstrates a strength that is beyond our comprehension."
"It's always good to know a little more about the enemy before going to war!"
Kaguya Taketori also looked serious and said in a deep voice.
"I understand! Let's start with the conclusions that the intelligence unit has basically reached."
Mei Terumi put away the helpless wonder on her face, became serious, and said in a deep voice.
"Based on the details provided by Hozuki Suigetsu's clone, there are not many traces left after the ninjutsu battle at the base."
"This means that the core combat force that captured the Nara Mountain stronghold was not a ninja skilled in large-scale ninjutsu, but a ninja with strong taijutsu and keen insight who could quickly eliminate any enemy he approached."
"Suiyue discovered some burn marks on the buildings, which, according to my analysis, are most likely caused by Lightning Release chakra."
"Based on the analysis of the enemies encountered in Suigetsu's previous operations, it is highly likely that the key figure this time is Kakashi Hatake."
"This is all the intelligence we can glean from the limited information available. The rest will have to be analyzed after the battle begins..."
"Kakashi Hatake alone should not be able to do this much, killing four Jonin in a short time under the Hidden Mist Technique."
Minazuki Kaze suddenly spoke up, raising his own question.
Mei Terumi took a deep breath before slowly saying:
"The intelligence team's analysis on this point is that if the Uchiha elites are deployed in coordination with Kakashi Hatake, achieving this would not be a problem at all..."
"Wind, do you have some other ideas?"
“Proud Uchiha don’t easily follow orders from others. Mei, you don’t know enough about those Uchiha.”
Minazuki Kaze offered his assessment, adding that based on his years of understanding of the Uchiha clan:
"It's very likely that the two Uchiha who disrupted the Water Moon operation made the move. The Uchiha clan's worship of their own strong members is enough to boost their morale!"
"I just don't know if it was one or two people who made this move. These two mysterious Uchiha who suddenly appeared are simply a major threat to our attack on Konoha..."
Following Minazuki Kaze's train of thought, Terumi Mei continued her analysis.
"After several major battles, Nara Mountain has eliminated most of the surrounding elements that could be used by the attackers."
"Aside from a direct, forceful attack, there's basically no room for any other ingenious strategies to work... given the performance of that Konoha main force..."
"Understood, Lord Yagura!"
Mei Terumi swung her hammer hand fiercely, speaking to Yagura Karatachi, who was listening quietly to the side:
"If the two mysterious Uchiha who fought against Shuiyue are the core members, they must..."
"What if it were me?"
A chilling voice, as if emanating from the deepest hell, rang out above the group. Yagura Karatachi narrowed his eyes, looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and immediately shouted.
"Get out of the way! The enemy is in the air..."
"Let's dance together, Wanlei Senluo!"
Unpredictable, massive bolts of lightning were drawn down from the thunderclouds gathering in the sky, indiscriminately attacking the Hidden Mist ninjas standing on the ground.
Despite being alerted by Yagura, most people reacted quickly and used various ninjutsu to avoid the first wave of lightning strikes.
However, more than fifty Kirigakure ninjas who were weaker or farther away from Yagura did not react in time and were killed by the Uchiha Elephant Dance Thunder.
Their bodies were pierced by lightning that struck from the sky, turning them into charred remains, adding a touch of cruelty and bloodshed to this lightning-filled forest that descended from the heavens in an instant.
The Battle of Nara Mountain thus officially began with Uchiha Ebo's unexpected surprise attack.
"monster……"
"How could anyone possibly control heavenly lightning..."
"You're kidding..."
Seeing Wan Lei Senluo kill a quarter of their elite forces in just a short time, even the next head of the Hozuki family, who was already a veteran of many battles, was still deeply shocked by this extremely impactful scene.
The earth was covered with jagged, massive burn marks from lightning, and the smell of barbecue emanating from the slain Kirigakure ninjas created a scene of hell on earth.
The black-haired youth who created all of this, his body crackling with electricity, slowly descended from the sky and stood atop a towering tree, like a master of the heavens and a god of thunder, calmly looking down upon the people who had survived the myriad thunderbolts.
For the ninjas of Kirigakure, such a scene, comparable to a natural disaster, was something they had only ever seen in the devastating tornadoes that swept everything away when they were born in the vast ocean.
Most ninjas do not believe that such catastrophic power is something that humans can possess, and even if it does exist, such power must belong only to legendary figures.
But now, a Konoha boy who looks no more than an adult has unleashed a terrifying attack in front of them that is enough to change the terrain.
How could this not instill fear and panic in them, how could it not make them feel incredulous and unable to understand?
Chapter 24, Upgraded Version of Ghost Man
Yagura glanced remorsefully at the remaining disheveled Kirigakure ninja, his eyes fixed on Uchiha Eboshi, who had launched a surprise attack from the sky, as if spitting fire.
His sky-blue hair rose and swayed behind his head, like a surging sea.
That was too careless!
Even if he becomes the jinchūriki of the Six-Tails.
(Because the Three-Tails' chakra was partially absorbed by the elephant, its revival was delayed, but the war waits for no one, so Yagura Karatachi changed to sealing the Six-Tails and became the Six-Tails' jinchūriki).
After hearing that the Nara Mountain stronghold had been captured in one fell swoop, I should have been extremely vigilant against the enemy...
But he didn't even arrange for someone to investigate the surrounding environment!
Heroes are indeed as numerous as carp crossing a river. Even though I have sealed the Six-Tails and become the Jinchūriki of a Tailed Beast, I still cannot be careless.
"Mei Terumi, what are the tactical arrangements?"
Without turning his head, Yagura asked the question to Mei Terumi, who was following behind him.
"Yes, Taketori, Suigetsu, and I will work together to hold Tsunade back, while Kaze and Yagura-sama will work together to hold off that Uchiha. We'll create an opportunity to break out as soon as possible and lead the Chunin and Genin out of the encirclement."
Mei Terumi scanned the Konoha ninja army, led by Tsunade, who were attacking from Nara Mountain, and surveyed the surrounding environment while speaking rapidly to her comrades:
"Based on the situation on the ground and our previous analysis, this Uchiha's taijutsu level is definitely beyond the reach of Chunin and Genin. Letting them stay on the scene will not help our battle at all; on the contrary, they will become a burden and require us to distract them to protect them. Therefore, we must find an opportunity to let them break out first."
