Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 167 The Mist Ninja who unknowingly walked into a dead end

Seeing the swarms of insects arranged neatly and attacking in an extremely dense formation, the senior management of Kirigakure Village were stunned at first, and then laughed.

"Where did this idiot come from to use the fighting methods of samurai to deal with ninjas?"

"Let such an idiot have a taste of ninjutsu!"

The Kirigakure ninjas are all good at using water escape ninjutsu, and rows and rows of C-level ninjutsu swept towards the insect swarm.

In the minds of all ninjas, after an insect swarm is hit by a ninjutsu, flesh and blood should fly everywhere, and broken limbs should fly all over the sky.

It can be compared to the scene on Blue Star, which is a group of infantry charging under heavy machine gun fire.

Seeing that the water escape ninjutsu used by Kirigakure was all C-level, Aburame Tetsumaru smiled: "Do the ninjas in Kirigakure think my insect swarm is still as fragile as before? Then they will be in big trouble!

"

The insect swarm with Locust as its basic unit in Konoha 37 will never charge forward with firepower when faced with a C-level ninjutsu attack, because it is simply impossible to charge through.

At that time, Aburame Tetsumaru drove the insect swarm to attack the ninjas head-on, using the tactic of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. They either covered the main insect swarm to attack from behind, or covered the more deadly Explosive Locust sneak attack.

The last situation is that Aburame Tetsumaru is chased by a terrifying enemy and has to sacrifice the insect swarm to cover his own escape.

But today, seven years later, the basic unit of the insect swarm has become the mantis. The mantis, which is three meters tall and weighs 360 kilograms, is a standard heavy-duty unit. The added weight is all used for frontal defense and defense.

The force is equivalent to that of an infantry assault vehicle.

Mere C-level ninjutsu can only cause negligible surface damage to the mantis, and cannot penetrate the twelve centimeter-thick chitin carapace at all.

After the ninjutsu hit the insect swarm, the Kirigakure ninja was surprised to find that the big insect on the opposite side did not come down, but rushed up despite the ninjutsu's attack.

Rushing into close combat distance, the insects brandished their huge sword limbs and launched attacks on the ninjas. The ninjas drew various weapons to parry and counterattack, and the forwards of both sides engaged in a melee.

In order to avoid accidental injuries, the Kirigakure ninjas in the back row gave up using large-scale ninjutsu, and the chuunin and jounin turned to single-target strikes, and the more powerful water iron cannon jutsu quickly knocked down the insects that entered the melee.

The ninjas who had escaped the entanglement of the insects quickly retreated to gain enough distance for their jounin and chuunin to do their best.

The Kirigakure ninja's ninjutsu knocked down all the bugs in the battle before they could even take a breath.

The bugs in the back row had already stepped on the fallen bugs and continued to charge, jumping up and down. Although they were knocked down one after another by the water-iron cannon technique before charging very far, the bugs rushed forward one after another, and the battle was on the line of death.

Uncontrollably moving towards Kirigakure Village.

"This won't work. We must use large-scale water escape to contain the insect swarm." Master Yuan saw the problem, and he suggested to Mizukage, "We also need the ice escape from the Snow Clan."

"Okay." Mizukage agreed without any hesitation.

Now, the senior management of Kirigakure Village still feel the slightest sense of relaxation. The enemy's bugs and samurai are not the same at all. They can actually ignore ninjutsu below C level.

This means that most genin's ninjutsu cannot cause damage. If ninjutsu is not good, we can't expect ordinary weapons such as kunai, shuriken and ninja swords to be useful.

Now only ninjas with chunin and above can participate in the battle. The 16,000 ninjas gathered in Kirigakure Village suddenly had less than 5,000 actual fighting strength left.

The situation was so critical that Mizukage had to fight for Kirigakure's chance of victory with all his strength, even if it would cause losses to his own family. As Mizukage's order was issued, a group of thin black long straight ninjas came

Arrived at the front.

Water Release·Big Explosion Water Wave

The effect of the large-scale water escape ninjutsu was like a flood. Under the impact of the rumbling waves, the mantis's speed was curbed.

Then, the black and straight ninjas took action.

Ice Escape·Freeze

The powerful ice escape ninjutsu caused the flood to cool down rapidly, and a considerable part of the water surface froze. Many mantis limbs were frozen in the ice and could not move, and they were easily killed by the ninjas.

The unfrozen waves were mixed with finely chopped ice. The ice water hit the mantis, causing its body temperature to drop rapidly. Its joints were scratched by the ice and frostbitten. The insects' movements became stiff and their speed slowed down.

The mantis whose body temperature has dropped severely has become sluggish in its reaction speed, making it easier to be hit by ninjutsu, and the rate of loss suddenly becomes much faster.

The killing speed of the Kirigakure ninja finally exceeded the advancement speed of the insect swarm, and the entire insect swarm was contained, and even began to be beaten back.

Seeing that the situation had changed favorably, the senior officials of Kirigakure Village all smiled, especially the leader of the Kaguya clan, whose molars could be seen when he smiled.

But no one knew that the big man's outward cheerfulness was just to cover up his inner panic: It's over, it's over. The situation is very bad. I have to inform my children that I can't act rashly.

Kaguya smiled happily, stood up suddenly, and said, "I feel my hands are itchy. I'm going to go to the front with the children. I'm going to have a good fight today, haha."

After saying this, he didn't wait for anyone's consent, and even ignored the existence of Mizukage and Yuanshi, and just strode forward.

"This old man has no manners at all."

"Even though the battlefield is still in a mess, he still dares to rush in and beat us to death. He deserves to be unlucky."

…

"Chief, why are you here?"

A group of Kaguya ninjas dressed in simple attire were shocked when they saw the head of their family dragging their son down from the melee battlefield in front.

"Patriarch, you look so ugly. What happened?"

Kaguya looked at the sea behind the swarm of insects with a pale face. The vast sea was calm, but the problem was that it shouldn't be calm there.

Kaguya Yoshi has a special hobby, which is fishing.

But fishing is too inappropriate for a hot-tempered and impulsive person. After he ascended to the position of leader of the Kaguya clan and gave himself a vulgar image, he could only secretly fish on uninhabited islands.

The desolate Kongshan Island is very close to the main island, and it happens to be Kaguya Yoshi's fishing ground. He is very familiar with the hydrological environment of this island, and knows the terrain under the sea behind the insect swarm. There are only a few flat beaches.

The water is covered with rugged and sharp rocks.

In such an underwater terrain, there are still three-foot waves on the water surface even if there is no wind, not to mention that the wind is not light today.

This unusual calm can only mean that there are many things under the water that have filled up the seabed, preventing the sea from making waves. Kaguya naturally thought that there were a large number of bugs lurking there, and the number of bugs must be extremely exaggerated.

"That's the situation. I estimate there are 70,000 to 80,000 bugs lurking under the sea over there, maybe even hundreds of thousands."

Unlike the clan leader Kaguya Yoshi, the other Kaguya ninjas really have well-developed limbs and simple minds. After listening to what the clan leader said, they didn't understand at all, and they didn't understand what the clan leader was talking about.

So what if there are bugs? These big bugs are so good, hard and durable. No matter how many bugs there are, everyone can just pull out the bones and rush to chop them. They can all be chopped to death anyway.

Kaguya Yoshi looked at the confused eyes of his clansmen and was immediately furious. What a person who hates iron but cannot make steel!

"Anyway, listen to me and don't rush forward later. That's it."

"Oh, okay." Kaguya Yoshi's son agreed, covering his head that had just been hit several times, but secretly muttering, "Wouldn't it be better to say this earlier? Rory said so much that I couldn't even listen to it.

If you understand."

Probably the reason why old fathers are so angry with their sons is because they have such stupid sons.

…

Everyone on Aburame Tetsumaru's side also saw that the insect swarm was being gradually repelled by the Kirigakure ninjas.

It was the first time for Kakuzu and Masao Ariome to participate in such a large-scale war. In their understanding, if the front line was pushed back, they would be at a disadvantage, so they both frowned.

Different from being suppressed by the masters at the beginning of the war, the Seven Blades who were active on the battle line became the mainstay of the battle line, and finally lived up to their reputation.

They performed very wonderfully at this time. Some waved their big knives and cut a mantis with one blow. Some waved out pieces of detonating charms, which were attached to the joints of the mantises and exploded, destroying them accurately. Some flashed with electric light, electrocuting the mantises.

The aroma is overflowing; some people hit it hard with a heavy hammer, smashing the mantis into pieces every time.

Looking at the outstanding performance of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Kakuzu felt that his hands were itchy, his wallet was even more empty, and he always felt that he should do something.

Aburame Masao was also a little unable to sit still and frequently looked at Aburame Tetsumaru as the commander.

However, the Aburame Tetsumaru and others turned a blind eye to the defeat in front of them. Most of them had experienced earth-lunar orbital battles and were accustomed to battles between large armies.

More importantly, they had already figured out the ninja's weaknesses, so they were not worried at all and watched nonchalantly as the insects were suppressed and beaten by the Kirigakure ninjas.

In individual battles, a ninja's greatest weakness is its lack of defense, but in war, its greatest weakness is its lack of durability.

In a battle, an ordinary chunin mainly relies on the use of C-level ninjutsu, and chakra can support him to use it twenty-five to forty times.

The chakra of a Jonin can support them to use C-level ninjutsu hundreds of times, but B-level ninjutsu must also be used carefully.

If the chakra is accidentally consumed in battle, it will not only be a problem of being unable to use ninjutsu, but also the physical strength will be exhausted, which will lead to the collapse of the overall combat effectiveness.

Moreover, the water iron cannon technique used by the Kirigakure ninja has excellent attack power, but it is very difficult to kill the mantis.

The mantis is designed as an assault unit. The vital points of this insect are not only small but also scattered. In actual combat, it is extremely difficult to hit the vital points, and it will not die immediately if it hits the vital points.

Judging from today's battle situation, it takes an average of five to six water-iron cannon attacks to kill a mantis, and two-thirds of the mantises can continue to fight for up to fifteen seconds after receiving fatal injuries.

Even if the ninjas in Kirigakure Village are particularly good at water escape, they only have five or six thousand ninjas who can use this B-level water escape.

Even if these ninjas try their best, how many praying mantises can they kill? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand?

Tewan: Why do most of the insect swarms hide under the sea surface, and only 20,000 praying mantises are displayed on the surface? It is to give Kirigakure's senior management the illusion that victory is in sight.

Moreover, Kirigakure did not master the tactics of rotational replacement like other great ninja villages, which further aggravated the consumption of frontline ninjas. Even though Kirigakure was still advancing, the overall collapse was just around the corner.

…

Master Yuan continued to receive intelligence sent back from the front, and he keenly discovered that the losses of the Kirikage Ninja were rising.

Soon, he confirmed the problem. Most of the ninjas had been engaged in high-intensity fighting for nearly two hours from the beginning of the war to now, and their chakra was running low.

Genshi immediately reminded: "Lord Mizukage, clan leaders, the ninjas on the front line are very tired, we need to end the battle as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, we may collapse earlier than the enemy."

"Please use all your strength to deal a fatal blow to the enemy."

"Master Yuanshi, please give me your instructions."

"Please remove the elites from your family from the front line, then go around the enemy on both sides and surround the enemy."

"I will mobilize manpower to supplement the gaps after you allocate elites. Please don't worry."

Several clan leaders thought for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement. They also asked Yuan Master to mix the human hands with their own, and then put them on the front and side at the same time.

Yuanshi knew that they were worried that their men would suffer too many casualties, because a flank attack posed a great threat to the enemy, but the risk borne by the troops responsible for bypassing and intersecting was much higher than that of a frontal attack, so they asked to share the risk with Yuanshi.

Genshi naturally agreed to this reasonable request. Although it would take more time to reorganize the ninjas, it was worth it if the Kirigakure ninjas could fight with more confidence.

Moreover, after being mixed together to participate in the battle, civilian ninjas and family ninjas will fight side by side and support each other in the battle, which will definitely increase mutual understanding and trust. This has been the goal that Master Yuan has always pursued, and it is what he has worked hard for half his life to achieve.

How could it be possible to refuse the result?

The Third Mizukage put the icing on the cake and sent out his own guards. These are the elites of the Snow Clan. They can shape ice and snow roads on the sea and increase the marching speed of the intersecting troops.

The senior management of Kirigakure suddenly felt that their chances of winning had greatly increased, and the atmosphere was even more harmonious. Everyone was chatting and laughing and actively organized two intersecting troops.

Looking at this happy scene, Master Yuan suddenly felt that using the enemy's oppression to promote the integration of Kirigakure Village was the right approach. His efforts in the past to coordinate were just a waste of time. For a moment, he even hoped that this time he would not push the enemy away.

Wipe them all out so that the time for everyone to get harmonious can be extended as much as possible.

The movement of forming and intersecting troops in Kirigakure Village was small, but the entire process was under the watchful eye of the condescending Lord Insect, and there was no way to keep it secret.

The stationmaster in charge of intelligence work arranged the surveillance and returned. He used ninjutsu to project the movements of the enemy and ourselves onto a large map, clearly marking the two intersecting troops in Kirigakure Village, and updating the number of people in the troops in real time.

Even the specific proportions of ninjas of different levels.

Kakuzu and Masao Aburame could only shake their heads speechlessly as they looked at the map. The battle of ninjas was a confrontation of intelligence. How could they lose if their own side had mastered the opponent's intelligence to such an extent.

Especially when they saw that the red arrows representing their own side not only formed a huge encirclement, but also had an arrow behind Kirigakure, they even felt a little pity for Kirigakure.

The mist ninja is dead.
