Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic.

The stronghold in front of us is a medium-sized supply hub, and normally it would have a defensive deployment of more than 50 ninjas.

After all, the attack on a small outpost wouldn't have been a major blow to Onoki, as the three target outposts chosen by the Third Hokage were all quite important.

"not good!"

"It's a wide-range water escape technique!"

"Use Earth Release: Quickly!"

Earth overcomes water; this is common knowledge in the ninja world.

However, Kakashi was a Jonin-level ninja after all, and the chaotic Iwa ninja, without a Jonin-level captain, could not effectively form a combined ninjutsu to counterbalance the situation.

The technique of the Great Waterfall was successfully implemented into the stone house.

The Iwa ninja in front of the stone house began to use Earth Release to establish a defensive line, and more and more disheveled Iwa ninja ran out of the stone house door behind them.

"boom--!!"

A sudden explosion was heard, but in the heat of the moment, the Iwa ninja were forced to blow up the stone house inside the stronghold themselves.

Because the exit is too small, if we wait any longer, the Iwa ninja below will all drown.

"Listen to my command!!"

The captain of the Iwagakure Jonin team at the base finally appeared.

"Combined Ninjutsu: Earth Release: Earth Flow Slash!"

With a commander in charge, the Iwa ninjas no longer fought individually; the thirty-odd Iwa ninjas joined forces and used Earth Release.

The ground in front of the stone house seemed to have been cut open, creating a huge chasm. All the water from Kakashi's Great Waterfall Technique rushed into the crack.

"what--"

Xiyan's assassination attempts continue.

However, upon seeing the Jonin from Iwagakure appear, she quickly retreated back to Kakashi's side.

At this moment, Kakashi also stopped using Water Release techniques and was slightly out of breath.

"almost."

No new Iwa ninjas have appeared at the stone house. It is estimated that, including the Iwa ninjas who were killed earlier, the number of Iwa ninjas in the base is almost the same as the information.

"Who are you people?" Iwasaki asked cautiously as he directed his men to go around and block the enemy's retreat.

The people in front of me were wearing masks and did not show their headbands.

But Kakashi's large-scale ninjutsu is definitely at the Jonin level, and Jonin are not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry in the ninja world.

"Is it my turn to perform?"

A flippant voice came from above.

Iwasaki suddenly looked up and saw a dark figure standing on the watchtower.

"They should all be here," Xi Yan called out, looking up.

"Attack!" Kakashi created another shadow clone and charged towards the remaining forty-odd Iwa ninja without hesitation.

"Damn it!" Iwasaki gritted his teeth and slammed his hands on the ground. "Earth Release: Rock Spear!"

Dozens of rock spears pierced out from the ground.

Kakashi was incredibly agile; the rock spear could only dodge and fall behind him.

If the deceased Suma Shi could see this, he would never believe that Kakashi, whose thigh had been pierced just a few days ago, had recovered completely.

"Wood Release: Silent Binding Technique!"

Tenzo continued to use disruptive ninjutsu.

Yugao then disappeared into the shadows once more.

However, she wouldn't dare to make a move unless the Iwa ninjas were scattered.

"Ninja Art: Summoning Technique!"

With a loud shout, Qingwu summoned a number of combat dwarves that rivaled the number of Iwa ninjas.

Then, the intermediate-level air magic [Protective Shield] was used.

A shield mark appeared on each of the battle dwarves, and magic instantly spread into a layer of cyan-green light barrier.

At the same time, the combined ninjutsu of the Iwa ninja forces arrived.

"Earth Release: Multiple Rock Gun Technique!"

Chapter 77 Blitzkrieg

The upgraded combat dwarf has a 60% magic resistance trait.

Adds a 15% buff from level 1 [Protective Shield].

It reached a terrifying 75% magic resistance.

This means that ordinary ninjutsu attacks will cause them negligible damage.

Of course, if it is "higher quality" Jonin-level chakra, the slow-moving dwarf who becomes a target will be eliminated.

However, the units in the game are not meant for one-on-one battles; the "campaign" is where the units in Heroes of Might and Magic truly take center stage.

For combined ninjutsu that is merely a quantitative change, the "origin" of its technique is the Chunin combat force of Iwagakure.

So……

The scene before your eyes is the answer.

The dwarves standing in front of Xiyan and Tianzang flashed with "shield" markings, and the dense barrage of rock-iron cannon fire struck them without them moving an inch.

Perhaps only the physical impact of the stones has some effect.

But coincidentally, dwarves are known for their thick skin and tough flesh.

"what!"

"What is this thing?!"

"My ninjutsu felt like it hit a wall!"

"hateful!"

The Iwa ninja who had surrounded them were dumbfounded.

They struggled to spit pebbles out of their mouths, but it was like they were just tickling the strange creature opposite them.

"Use the combined control ninjutsu." Iwasaki immediately ordered his subordinates to change their battle strategy.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow!"

All the Iwa ninja suppressed their shock and quickly formed hand seals, punching the ground, which shattered into countless fine sands, which then eroded the ground like a tidal wave.

Kakashi was forced to retreat.

This is an Earth Release ninjutsu with a larger control range than the Swamp of the Underworld.

"Control? I can do that too!"

Qingwu leaped down and used the level 3 [Slow Technique] in mid-air.

With a flash of the vine patterns, the movements and frequency of the Iwa ninjas distributed within a 20-meter radius slowed down.

"Ok?"

Seeing this, Jonin Iwasaki quickly formed hand seals: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wave!"

A large pile of hard rocks appeared beneath the feet of the Iwa ninja, whose movement was slowed by the azure vines. The rocks formed a river-like shape, sending the controlled Iwa ninja out of the "vine" range.

Qingwu frowned slightly, not expecting that the Iwa ninja would have such a solution.

He had never experienced a real war and underestimated the countermeasures that magic might encounter.

Fortunately, it seems that dwarves are quite effective against ninjas.

Only a few dwarves remained to block Tianzang's path, while the other dwarves, carrying warhammers, charged slowly but resolutely towards the Iwa ninja forces.

Kakashi once commented that the dwarves possessed the fighting strength of Chunin.

Although the upgraded combat dwarves cannot cross "ranks", unlike the "glass cannons" of the ninja world, ordinary Chunin are no match for the dwarves once they get close.

The formation of the Iwa ninja force was disrupted.

Despair flashed in Jonin Iwasaki's eyes.

Without the combined ninjutsu, Qingwu also summoned the centaur leader and the great elf, who were strong in offense but weak in defense.

What followed was nothing but one-sided slaughter.

In a head-on confrontation, Kakashi found Iwasaki, making it even more difficult for the Iwagakure forces to form an organized defense.

In the darkness of night, the great elf's vision seemed completely unaffected.

Although their attack frequency is not as high as that of the centaurs in close combat because they have to "reload", a large number of Iwa ninjas are accurately hit with each attack.

The battle ended in two minutes, leaving only Jonin Iwasaki barely clinging to life under Kakashi's onslaught.

Iwasaki had long intended to withdraw, and he wanted to spread the news of the attack on the base.

Because when Tianzang used Wood Release, he already knew that the attackers were Konoha ninjas.

"Does Konoha want to start a war?" Iwasaki asked, his tone fierce but his words betraying his underlying weakness.

"Wasn't it you who assassinated the Hokage first?" Xi Yan said coldly.

"..." Iwasaki shut up. He didn't actually know the higher-ups' plans, but given Onoki's crazy ways, anything was possible.

During the Third Shinobi World War a few years ago, Onoki, without even showing his face, used tens of thousands of Iwa ninja troops to wear down the Raikage of Kumogakure...

"Assassinate the Hokage..."

Iwasaki felt a bitter taste in his mouth as his defense against Kakashi's "Fist Rock" had a momentary opening.

Kakashi's Sharingan flashed red, "Zzzzz—"

Lightning pierced his heart.
