Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

In fact, there are unreliable temporary allies and relatively reliable temporary allies.

By the evening, the Hyuga ninja who had spread the news brought back some bad news.

"Are there a large number of ninjas gathering on the plateau?"

When it comes to the northwestern plateau, it is "Iwagakure". In the era of the ninja village, Iwagakure was an aggressive village.

"Is it the Shihe clan?"

Hazen asked the Hyuuga ninja.

"It seems that the Ishigawa clan is the main force, and several other major ninja clans are also involved."

Upon hearing about this quasi-alliance, mixed combat method, Yu Zhen immediately reacted:

"No need to ask, they're definitely targeting us... They reacted pretty quickly."

If they wanted to deal with ordinary ninjas, the Ishigawa clan could do the job beautifully. On the other hand, since they formed a mixed formation, their target would naturally be enemies of the same level.

Under the surveillance of the Hyuga clan, the number of ninjas in the Ishigawa coalition continued to increase and soon exceeded seven hundred.

At this time, things like the Yutani clan were no longer important. Yu Zhen regrouped the team and began to think about what to do next.

Based on realistic and rational considerations, he should lead the team to withdraw from the rainforest area at this time, but the enemy will definitely pursue them. Yinghuo can certainly withdraw, but after retreating to the Land of Fire, how can he retreat there?

The border had just been determined, and the war broke out on the homeland. Doesn't this mean that all the things Yu Zhen did before and the promises he made have become a joke?

So they had no choice but to face the enemy...

Meet the enemy in the "Rain Country".

In order to maintain the future status of the Firefly Organization in Konoha, Yuzhen also needs a victory that can stand the test of time. Otherwise, when people talk about the founding process of Konoha in the future, the Senju will be fighting the Uchiha, but where are you Firefly?

You can't say you're fighting "Ayukawa" right? Yes, the Ayukawa clan leader is as smart as Uchiha Madara, but that doesn't mean the two clans are about the same in strength.

Since we can't retreat, do we need to increase our military strength?

However, Yinghuo's high-quality combat forces are currently concentrated in Yuzhen's hands, so there is little point in increasing the front-line forces from Yinghuo.

Then ask Qianshou for reinforcements?

But this goes against Yinghuo's goal of gaining a foothold in the battle. You must know that the support forces of the four major ninja clans already account for 40% of Yuzhen's team. If you ask for help from there, who will be fighting this battle?

"Maybe...it's not impossible to give it a try."

After much deliberation, Yu Zhen made a relatively aggressive decision.

The terrain of the rainforest is quite favorable for him, as he can give full play to the role of "chemical weapons of mass destruction".

So Yu Zhen did not retreat, but instead led three teams forward.

After finding a battlefield that was most advantageous to his side, Yuzhen stood by a river and asked the ninjas on his left and right:

"What is this place? Does it have a name?"

However, unexpectedly, Hatake Sakumo, who should not be very familiar with the "Rain Country", immediately answered Yuzhen's question.

"Iwaragawa, this is...Iwaragawa."

amount……

Yu Zhen was confused. Iwaharakawa is Iwaharakawa. Why are you so excited?

Chapter 162 The Sun Shines on the Iwagawa River

Although the Shihe clan's coalition forces have assembled "heavy troops", they are currently just waiting for the opportunity to strike.

This is understandable. After all, they belong to different ninja clans and have never cooperated in combat before. If they want to avoid hindering each other, they have to reorganize.

"Are they planning to use us as a training ground? I have to say the enemy commander is quite courageous and creative."

Yuzhen followed two Hyuga ninjas to the front for reconnaissance. The enemy army's quick yet steady style of action made him guess the other party's additional intentions in this combat operation.

Solving the fireflies is the enemy's main goal, and training troops is a secondary goal.

Yu Zhen felt that he was looked down upon. Did they really think he was a pushover?

However, the enemy's strength is seven times that of Yinghuo. From the perspective of the Shihe clan, what's wrong with training the troops? Isn't this normal?

"Lord Yuzhen, do we really not need reinforcements?" asked a Hyuga ninja on the side.

If we fight according to the current troop configuration, one ninja on our side will have to defeat seven enemies. To be honest, this is too difficult... Most ninjas are fragile with high attack and low defense, which means they can be easily killed by ants.

Although our ninjas are the best of the best, the enemy is no pushover either. Once surrounded...

Yu Zhen shook his head decisively. He was not trying to show off. In fact, he already had a relatively complete battle plan at that time.

"That's unnecessary. The enemy has the advantage in numbers. We're defending instead of attacking. They'll definitely charge forward. They're still trying to reorganize their forces. What does this mean? It means we have plenty of time to set up the battlefield."

"Stay safe. You continue to monitor the enemy's movements. I will go and set up the battlefield."

"Yes, Master Yuzhen."

While the enemy was reorganizing their forces, what was Yu Zhen doing? It's hard to believe, but he was planting trees.

Don't forget that Yuzhen also knows Wood Release Ninjutsu. Although his Wood Release is mostly only used to demonstrate his recovery ability and is not enough for direct combat, it is still very simple for him to use Wood Release to plant trees.

He is adjusting the density and direction of the trees in the forest.

Although it couldn't be seen from the outside, the density of some trees soon became almost as high as the walls.

After the battle begins, when the enemy rushes over, there will be treetops above their heads and "wooden walls" all around. Then everyone can use earth escape to block the gaps...

To be honest, the sealing effect is comparable to that of a rice cooker.

Not only are there semi-finished enclosed spaces of varying sizes among the woods, but even the passages are made to look like a maze.

Three days later, Yu Zhen called a meeting with the commanders with a map.

“Everyone should keep the map in their heads.”

Yuzhen's map is generally in the shape of a circle of "回" characters. The enemy attacks from the outside, and the Firefly Ninja will retreat inward while resisting.

“到时候我会在A3、A6、A7、B1、B7、C4、C5、C9、D7、E3区域设置分身，大家要尽量把敌人往这几个区域引。”

"But you must enter and exit quickly, and pay attention to completing the temporary closure of these areas."

"Engage the enemy only outside of these areas."

"Don't worry. Although the enemy is numerous, it won't be difficult to reduce their numbers. What we need to do is maintain mobility and try to avoid engaging in combat with the enemy before reaching the central area."

The maze-like passages are hidden under the treetops, and it is difficult to see the direction from above; the woods are full of "walls", and even the perception ninjas are not that useful... Map-perspective perception ninjas like Hinata are rare.

Of course, ninjas have the ability to destroy terrain. What trapped them were just trees, not permanent fortifications.

However, destroying these arrangements also consumes chakra.

As for the ninjas who have the ability to destroy terrain on a large scale, they will of course have a chance to take action, but then they will be targeted and sniped by Yinghuo... Yuzhen gave this job to Hatake Sakumo.

And don't forget, Yuzhen has Uzumaki Ninja on his side.

"This time, the Second and Third Battalions will be responsible for the interception mission. The First Battalion will wait for the enemy to break into the position and then launch a siege from the rear."

Honestly, it sounds a bit outrageous that thirty or so people surrounded seven hundred people.

The ninjas who knew Yu Zhen's abilities actually breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his battle plan... Yu Zhen is very suitable for dealing with clustered targets.

But some people still worry about other issues.

"Master Yuzhen, if you deploy a large number of clones, it means that after the battle begins, you will fall into a weak state due to chakra deficiency. Is this a hidden danger?"

"To be precise, I will be very weak before the battle begins, but I will have no shortage of chakra after the battle begins."

Yu Zhen did not explain too much, he just continued:

"The goal of this battle is to annihilate the enemy. As long as we eliminate this part of the enemy, it means that our strategic goal of this expedition has been basically achieved."

The appearance of the Shihe coalition was not within Yu Zhen's expectations, but he understood that only by defeating the powerful enemy could the border demarcation be implemented.

It is impossible to shock the world by relying on the surrender or defeat of the small ninja clan, but the Ishigawa clan has a different mindset.

No matter what, Yuzhen needs to actively fight against the Shihe coalition.

…………

On the Shihe coalition side.

"What's the enemy situation?"

Ishikawa Wudu asked a perception ninja. Before the war, he was also actively collecting enemy intelligence.

"About seventy men are scattered in the dense forest. That should be their intended battlefield. Thirty more are stationed in the north, far from the battlefield. They should be their reserve force... Lord Wudu, the enemy chose to attack instead of fleeing. This gives me a bad feeling."

"How to say?"

"That Master Yuzhen shouldn't be a fool. Since he chose to use the weak to defeat the strong, he must have something to rely on, right?"

Shi He Wu Du agreed with part of this, but...

"It is precisely a ninja standing in that position who cannot escape without a fight. That kind of ninja carries so much on his shoulders that he can only move forward and cannot look back."

Well, this is just his conjecture. If there is no strategic purpose, Yu Zhen will definitely take his troops and slip away.

No matter how heavy the thing you are carrying is, can it be heavier than a human life?

Only a twenty-year peace period is worth risking the lives of Yuzhen and his subordinates.

"Pre-setting the battlefield... is indeed a problem, but there's nothing we can do about it. After all, we have the advantage in manpower, and the enemy will naturally have the advantage in terrain."

Of course, the seven hundred ninjas would actively attack, and the one hundred ninjas who held their positions would certainly have some arrangements. Otherwise, would the Ishigawa coalition, which had the advantage in manpower, have to wait for the extremely weak Firefly ninjas to launch an attack? What a joke.

"Lord Wudu, pre-war meeting!"

At this time, someone came to inform Shi He Wu Du to go to a meeting.

Shihe Wudu patted the scout ninja's shoulder and said:

"Stay alert and don't let your guard down... the battle is about to begin."

Yu Zhen immediately noticed the enemy's movements. He immediately issued a combat order and recruited his own combat team... namely Hatake Sakumo, Nara Hideyuki and Ran.

Each unit performed its duties, while Yu Zhen and his four companions advanced brightly, seemingly ignoring the enemy army.

"The enemy will attack at dawn."

"It's rare for this area to be rain-free, so it's good weather for us."

Yu Zhen looked at the sky which was beginning to brighten and confirmed that the drizzle from last night had stopped, so he felt that this was a good sign.

However, Yuzhen's three teammates were all quiet people, so no one responded to his metaphysical judgment at all.

No rain - more suitable for the spread of acid mist - a good sign. Damn it, Yuzhen didn't even have a chance to explain.

Hatake Sakumo had already gotten over his excitement. He was always calm on the battlefield. At this moment, he knew his mission very well... to fully play the role of guard and help Yuzhen get through the brief period of weakness.

Ninjas with strong offensive abilities are generally not suitable to be bodyguards, but Hatake Sakumo is an exception.

So where is the exception?

The Iwagawa River is a river with extremely abundant runoff that originates from the northwestern plateau, flows through the snow-capped mountains and Gobi Desert, the red soil valley, then crosses a huge altitude difference, flows into the rainforest area, and finally merges into a lake as vast as the sea.

There are countless rivers like this in the rainforest area, and there is nothing special about it.

However, after dawn, when the sun jumped out of the horizon and the cold morning light shone on the wide river, the rippling waves seemed to indicate something.

The Shihe coalition forces rushed down from the plateau along the river.

There seemed to be no order to it, just like a fight between street thugs... Yu Zhen's first impression of the so-called coalition was not good.

There was no other way. It was already quite good to be able to make the ninjas of different clans know when to advance and when to retreat, and to enforce discipline in such a short period of time. Expecting them to achieve some kind of sophisticated coordination would require even more time.

"Draw your swords and quickly find the enemy commander."

Yu Zhen gave a simple order and then led the team to rush towards the enemy.

Hatake was on the left, Hazin was in the middle, Ran was on the right, and Nara Hideyuki was in the back. The team rushed out of the jungle like an arrow from a bow, their speed increasing.

"What, a suicide attack?"

The vanguard ninjas of the Ishigawa coalition felt baffled. On one side were seven hundred people rushing down from the plateau, and on the other side was only a team of four. The two sides were facing each other, and the latter seemed to have no other reason for their actions except to seek death.

However, when this four-man team came into contact with the enemy's front line, the latter instantly understood what cruelty meant.

"It's not you."

"Neither is you."
