Escape From Konoha

October 13th, two o'clock in the morning.

There are less than four hours left before dawn.

In the endless darkness of the night, several troops came from the direction of the Kingdom of Ghosts, crossing the wilderness, forests, and mountains at extremely fast speeds, approaching the border of the Kingdom of Birds.

Due to pre-war migration operations, the populations in these small countries have been transferred to safe areas, and the towns have long been deserted and engulfed by darkness. Only the full moon above our head was still emitting dim light, illuminating the road ahead.

The battle lines between the Kingdom of Demons and Akatsuki are basically only one country apart.

The Bear Country is nominally subordinate to the Ghost Country. In other words, this is also an important position of the Ghost Country. The Bird Country, located to the east of the Bear Country, is a poor and weak country sandwiched between three major countries. It has always been a neutral country. stand and survive under the influence of great powers.

This country has a long horizontal territory and a certain amount of space in depth.

Before the war began, the Kingdom of Ghosts had already built a large number of strongholds at the border between the Kingdom of Bears and the Kingdom of Birds as a transfer station for the mobilization of troops and materials.

Further east of the Kingdom of Birds is the Kingdom of Rain, a position controlled by the Akatsuki organization.

Therefore, there is only one Kingdom of Birds in the power separation area between the two parties.

As a strategically important place, this is the next battleground for both sides.

"I didn't expect that we would have to rush to the front line on the first day. The luck of the draw must be too unlucky."

Yamazaki's plaintive voice escaped from his mouth.

Carrying a heavy black backpack, which was bulging with stuff, he followed the troops forward at a steady pace without falling behind.

"Isn't this great? Now you can follow us to gain more fighting skills and be promoted to jounin as soon as possible. Now among our threesome, you are the only one who has not yet reached the level of jounin."

There was Xianglin's thorny mocking voice.

After the Jonin test months ago, she also successfully passed the test and became one of the Jonin members of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Although she was just a newcomer among the jonins, her qualifications and experience were not comparable to other jonins, but she had become a jounin at her age, and it was obvious that she had a bright future.

"I've thought about this kind of thing, but Jonin is not a cabbage, so it's not that easy to pass the test."

Yamazaki sighed.

He and Xiang Rin applied for the jounin exam at the same time. The difference was that Xiang Rin spent a lot of effort to pass the test, while he was beaten up by the examiners. Like those who failed, he finally walked out of the examination room.

Although his ability to organize and lead a team is barely up to par, facing a real jounin, his strength is still not good enough.

After all, Jonin cannot rely solely on the team leader's organizational skills, strength is also an important part.

A basic expert-level elite who can become a Jonin.

And the operation of ninja tools that he is best at is still far behind in this field.

At this moment, Cai, who was at the front of the team, suddenly stopped and gestured to the rear.

Not only Xiang Rin and Yamazaki Hisashi, but also the ninjas from the Demon Country behind them also stopped.

"Stay where you are next."

Cai gave the order calmly.

The pioneer troops of the Kingdom of Ghosts stationed in the Kingdom of Birds are divided into six squadrons.

Each squadron ranges from two hundred to three hundred people.

Cai is the squadron leader of the 4th Squadron of the Pioneer Force. The 4th Squadron has a total of more than 260 people. The team has a very complete personnel configuration. There are ninjas who are good at medical treatment, enchantment, sealing, and perception, and can deal with various emergencies. situation.

Among them are more than 20 reinforced soldiers who are responsible for the logistics of the 4th Squadron.

From the second to the sixth squadron, they basically have the same configuration. The ninjutsu of each squadron is around 250. In total, there are more than a thousand people, 90% of whom are ninjas, and the remaining 10% are strengthened soldiers responsible for Logistical chores for the team.

The first unit of the vanguard force is the Thorn Group, which is also the core of the vanguard force.

As the leader of the Thorn Team, his sister Chiba Kazuhime is also the captain of the entire vanguard force.

The Thorn Team led by him is responsible for the forefront of fighting and improving combat morale.

The remaining five squadrons are responsible for advancing the front, establishing a stable marching route in the Kingdom of Birds, and eliminating hidden dangers for the arrival of the army from behind.

"Start sorting it out now?"

Yamazaki asked in confusion.

"Going through the gap in front, you will reach the boundary of the Bird Country... We have to wait for the message from the Thorn Team before we can move forward."

Cai stared at the extremely deep valley ahead and said.

"In other words, the possibility of fighting is not ruled out?"

Xianglin paused, looked at Cai and asked.

Cai nodded, her Byakugan already open.

"Yes, this possibility cannot be ruled out. Xiao uses the White Zetsu Legion. The average strength of the White Zetsu is not strong, but they have extremely strong submarine capabilities and can survive tenaciously underground and in the sea. In other words, they It is also possible to directly bypass the thorn team in front and attack us from the ground."

Sai used her Byakugan to observe Daichi.

Although Bai Zetsu's whereabouts have not yet been found underground, there is a high possibility of an underground attack.

If Akatsuki wants to bring out the maximum combat power of White Zetsu, she will definitely bring out White Zetsu's characteristics.

In this way, his squadron could not avoid the battle with Bai Jue.

"I always feel that it is a very troublesome ability. In that case, we need to ask the earth escapers and barrier ninjas to strengthen the underground defense. If we are attacked by them, it will delay our march."

Yamazaki Kuya looked at the earth and became thoughtful.

"In addition, there is the so-called Dragon Beast Legion. It is an ancient creature that the dead Orochimaru extracted from the fossil genes of ancient extinct dinosaurs and reappeared in modern times. This ancient creature is mixed with the current chakra, According to the investigation, each dragon beast has the destructive power of a large psychic beast. The Akatsuki organization has probably produced more than a thousand such creatures."

Cai frowned. Compared to the White Jue Legion, the Dragon Beast Legion composed of ancient dinosaurs was a problem.

"More than a thousand heads!?"

Yamazaki almost choked for breath.

Every dragon beast has the power of a large psychic beast. Doesn't it mean that the Akatsuki organization has more than a thousand large psychic beasts?

Such large psychic beasts, not to mention more than a thousand, but even ten or twenty, can easily sweep through thousands of armies on the battlefield, and it takes a ninja with considerable strength to stop them.

"Don't worry, these dragon beasts cannot be compared with the large psychic beasts in the Holy Land. In the final analysis, they are just large creatures that were forcibly catalyzed, and jounin can deal with them."

"To put it lightly, even if the Jonin can easily deal with them, there are still more than a thousand."

Yamazaki was speechless for a moment. Cai's words could not be called comfort at all.

On the contrary, because of his words, Yamazaki Jiu became even more nervous.

Regarding this war, Yamazaki suddenly became less optimistic.

Both the Alliance Army and Akatsuki possess considerable strength and are not opponents that can be defeated easily.

◎

The Kingdom of Ghosts launched corresponding operations. The Alliance Army located in the northeast was also not to be outdone, and marched towards the Kingdom of Rain with an action capability that was not weaker than that of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

The Alliance Army, which has the largest number of troops on the surface, is mainly concentrated in the Kingdom of Iron, the Kingdom of Taki, and the Kingdom of Earth.

Among them, the Kingdom of Iron and the Kingdom of Taki are the main ones, with almost half of the Alliance's strength concentrated in the two countries.

There are more than 20,000 ninjas stationed in the Kingdom of Earth to guard the defense lines of the Kingdom of Earth and monitor the movements of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

In addition, the Country of Fire has also established a large stronghold of the Alliance Army, with tens of thousands of troops stationed there. They are mainly concentrated in the northwest of the Country of Fire, with a small number scattered to the coastal areas of the Country of Fire for security patrols.

And got in touch with the bounty hunter team such as the Thunder Light Group, and let some of the bounty hunters serve as chess pieces for the Alliance Army to explore the way forward, transfer from the southeastern border of the Kingdom of Rain, and march into the Kingdom of Rain.

Compared with the stable route of the Demon Country, the Alliance Army's march route is quite radical, and it does not advance all the way. Instead, it takes advantage of the large number of people to move in from various regions and attack Akatsuki's jurisdiction from multiple sides at the same time.

"There are still two hours of daybreak... Really, before the battle, I didn't even get a good night's sleep."

Darui, who was the captain of the Alliance's first wing, was scratching the back of his head grumblingly.

In the Black Stone Wilderness late at night, a large number of ninjas and samurai gathered.

This place is the southwest border of Taki Country, only a thin line away from the Country of Grass.

Beyond the Country of Grass is the Country of Rain controlled by the Akatsuki organization.

But it is not easy to advance to the Kingdom of Rain.

Akatsuki's combat power is not weak. Even if the Alliance Army and the Kingdom of Demons join forces at this time, the top leaders of the Alliance Army will not be careless.

Regardless of the legion under his hand, Akatsuki still has six tailed beasts and the legendary power of the Samsara Eye. No matter which one, it means that Akatsuki is an extremely difficult bone to crack.

"If you want to have a good rest, you can only finish this war, Captain."

Akimichi Tingza, the captain of the 2nd Squadron of the 1st Wing, came over and stood side by side with Darui, looking at the Land of Grass to the southwest.

"Yeah, even though I don't have much motivation, I can only bite the bullet at this time."

Darui took a deep breath and put down the palm on the back of his head. The laziness in his eyes slowly disappeared, replaced by solemnity and solemnity.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go straight away. We will fire the first shot on behalf of the Alliance Army. We can't lose to that group of weird things."

In Darui's eyes, the so-called Bai Zetsu could no longer be classified as a normal person.

Except for the dragon beast after Bai Jue, it is also a creature that has never been seen before.

The Akatsuki organization just comes up with some weird things.

It was said that it was a great war in the ninja world, but in the end, none of the people being beaten were human beings... This made Darui secretly guarded and at the same time very speechless.

Akimichi Dingzao nodded and greeted the squadron leaders behind him, asking them to get ready.

As the first alliance of the Alliance Army, most of them are ninjas who are good at fighting with ninja tools. Of course, there are also ninjas with secret skills like him, but they are only a minority.

In addition, this vanguard force also mixed with the squadrons of the other wings.

For example, there are squadrons that are good at escape, there are also squadrons that are responsible for medical treatment and perception, and there are also special units that are responsible for air combat.

After all, the diversity of enemy abilities must be taken into account. If a team of ninjas all share the same characteristics, they will be easily targeted by the enemy, leading to a defeat.

In order to avoid this result, on the basis of retaining the characteristics of each alliance, ninjas from other alliances are mixed in to enrich the tactical diversity of each alliance so that it can deal with various emergencies on complex and diverse battlefields. situation.

Therefore, the fact that a ninja like Akimichi Teiza, who is good at secretive special operations, can serve as a squadron leader in the first regiment that mainly uses ninja tools is also the result of careful consideration by the top brass of the Alliance Army.

◎

As time passed little by little, a little light slowly appeared in the originally dark east side.

The Thorns team, which traveled ahead of the rest of the troops, continued to use flying ninjutsu or ninja tools to soar in the sky, firmly occupying the air superiority point on the battlefield.

"Team leader, a large number of people were detected ahead. Not only that, but there also seems to be a considerable amount of chakra reaction hidden underground."

In the group, the member with the ability to perceive reported to Kazuki.

Equipped with sentient and white-eyed ninjas, it is basically impossible for the Thorns team to sneak attack them.

As for those heading in their direction, they didn't need to think about the soldiers controlled by Akatsuki. Like the Kingdom of Ghosts, they also want to seize control of the Kingdom of Birds and block the troops of the Kingdom of Ghosts from the Kingdom of Rain.

After hearing this, Yi Ji raised her head and glanced at the eastern sky, where a touch of fish belly white had appeared slightly. She squinted her eyes, and a sharp light bloomed from her pupils.

"At dawn, defeat them!"

"yes!"

Buzz.

The team members controlled the flying ninja as if they were carrying the power of wind and thunder, whizzing through the sky, making an extremely harsh sound of breaking through the air.

Deidara also rode the clay white bird under his feet and sprinted forward with the others.

There is only a little bit of bright white, and most of it is a dark, uninhabited wilderness with rugged mountains and rocks and criss-crossing rivers.

A troop painted all in white advanced rapidly.

These people had the same smile on their faces, and at first glance, a strange and strange feeling arose spontaneously. They were naked, exposing their bodies to the air.

It was Bai Jue.

Strangely, they did not advance empty-handed.

Instead, they assembled a large-scale ninja tool, such as a continuous-fire kunai gun.

This kind of ninja tool greatly enhances their offensive capabilities.

Not only that, there were dozens of manned flying ninjas flying past them.

It's Bai Zetsu who controls these flying ninja tools.

Bai Jue, who was originally only capable of fighting on land and water, also had the ability to fight in the air.

The sudden silence between heaven and earth was terrifying.

Then, the roar of the wind broke through, breaking the silence that had been silent for a long time.

The sharp sound of breaking through the air flew over the heads of the crowd, and everyone did not even need to greet them in advance. Everyone understood what this sound and this action meant.

Boom!

The bomb wrapped in the shape of a metal ball landed in the middle of the Bai Jue crowd and exploded.

With the first hit, there will naturally be more.

More explosions exploded in the middle of White Zetsu.

The streaks of fire that soared into the sky tore apart the silence and darkness in the sky.

The brown soil was dug up, and the earth became a mess in the blink of an eye.

After witnessing the murder of his companions, Bai Zetsu fired his kunai gun into the sky without any hesitation.

The black rainstorm moved in the opposite direction, covering the flying area of ​​the Thorns team, making it impossible to dodge.

The members of the Thorn Team in the kunai coverage area activated the barrier shield on the flying ninja tool.

The ball barrier that shines with a faint blue light wraps around the whole body and bounces away all the kunai.

"There is no chakra attribute attached to it. It seems to be just a fake and inferior product."

Ichiki took a look at the kunai fired by White Zetsu with the kunai gun. There was no kunai like the kunai gun in the Kingdom of Oni. At the same time as it was fired, attribute chakra was attached to the kunai to increase the penetrating and cutting power. , you will know that this kind of kunai gun is an inferior product imitated by other countries.

It is an old antique that was eliminated by the Kingdom of Ghosts a long time ago.

It is impossible to break through the shield barrier on the flying ninja tool with this obsolete kunai gun.

"Let you have a taste of my art. Go ahead!"

Deidara dodged the kunai attack, and a C3·No. 18 clay doll fell into his palm, with a somewhat excited smile on his face.

Injecting chakra, Deidara casually threw C3 No. 18 into White Zetsu.

boom!

When C3·No. 18 landed, there was a soft sound. The volume that was originally only the size of a palm suddenly became the size of a house. It spread its white wings on both sides and fell towards the earth like an angel embracing the sky.

"That is--"

The White Jue's eyesight was still there and they immediately recognized what this familiar thing was.

However, it was too late.

C3·No. 18, which fell with its wings spread, had already reached the sky above the Bai Jue crowd first, and its whole body was shrouded in shining light, which was so piercing that people could not open their eyes suddenly.

"Art is explosion! Drink!"

boom!

The dark sky was completely lit up.

The fire that shot out without warning and the terrifying air waves that pushed the air were like thunder on the ground, swallowing up all the White Zetsu in the area.

The earth at the center of the explosion was blown away several layers, and Bai Jue's remaining limbs were scattered on the broken earth.

Bai Jue, who was further away, also fell on his back and fell on the cracked ground in disgrace, losing his ability to fight.

In just the blink of an eye, this White Zetsu team was reduced by 20 to 30% due to Deidara's art, and was almost paralyzed.

If Bai Jue hadn't felt the so-called fear, he would have probably lost the courage to fight at this time.

Unfortunately, they are White Zetsu.

They can talk and think like humans.

But they have no concept of death, and they have no idea of ​​fear.

He doesn't know how to be tired. As long as it's an order, he will do his best to complete it even if his body is broken into pieces.

"It's the traitor Deidara, kill him!"

Fear did not infect the remaining White Zetsu who survived, but they became extremely arrogant and wanted to kill Deidara, the traitor.

Most of the kunai fired from the kunai gun began to turn towards Deidara.

"I've been meaning to do this to these guys for a long time. Yeah."

Deidara looked at the arrogant postures of the White Zetsus. He was not angry, but nodded with satisfaction.

Because of this guy's intelligence mistakes, he almost died in missions several times in the past.

"That guy's bombs are still so exaggerated. Let's speed up the attack here."

The members of the Thorn Team began to take a detour and used the same method to drop bombs in Bai Jue again, annihilating them here.

At this time, the aerial team of the White Jue Force launched an operation.

One of them rushed towards Yiji without fear of death, with a posture of fearlessness of dying together, with a strange smile on his face, and a cold luster flashed in his eyes.

Without thinking, Ichiki quickly fluttered the chakra wings behind her, unsheathed her Kusanagi sword, and slashed straight at the charging White Zetsu.

boom!

Without any warning, Bai Zetsu crashed into Ichiki, and the flying ninja tool exploded.

A violent burst of fire engulfed Ichiji's body.

"Team leader!"

This scene shocked the people in the Thorn Group.

"I'm fine. Just be careful. They've installed explosives in their bodies that can be used for suicide attacks!"

Ichiki's body was wrapped in black smoke, she flapped her chakra wings, and rushed out of the fire and smoke of the explosion unscathed, while loudly reminding her team members.

Just as Kazuji finished speaking, there was another explosion.

One of the team members was caught in the explosion by Bai Jue who blew himself up.

The strong explosive energy directly shattered the shield barrier on the flying ninja tool, causing damage to the flying ninja tool itself, and arcs like malfunctions appeared on the wings.

Fortunately, it can still be used and can barely maintain flight.

The team member was piloting a flying ninja and quickly avoided contact with Bai Zetsu who was controlling the flying ninja.

They never thought that these White Jue would be crazy enough to install powerful bombs in their bodies and use suicide attacks to block the vanguard of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

I'm afraid Akatsuki doesn't have many bombs with this level of power, but as long as they are deployed to these highly maneuverable White Zetsus, they will be enough to form a terrifying deterrent.

"My Byakugan can't see through the inside of their bodies. It must have been a spell that made it impossible for my Byakugan to see through."

Hinata Aoi, the only white-eyed ninja in the team, was also driving a flying ninja tool at this time, while frowning and explaining to her companions.

The enemy stored bombs in his body, but as a member of the Hyuga clan, she did not notice it, which was obviously a dereliction of duty.

However, everyone also knew that they could not blame her for this matter. The functions of ninjutsu were ever-changing. Although there were not many techniques to avoid Byakugan's perspective, it was not impossible.

Obviously, the Akatsuki people specifically considered the role of the Byakugan before planting spells on these White Zetsus to avoid the Byakugan's clairvoyance ability.

"It seems to be a little more troublesome than expected, but now is not the time to play games."

Ichiji vibrated the chakra wings on her back, spread them out to fly on both sides, and rose into the sky with the rising air.

"Stop her!"

Bai Zetsu, who controlled the flying ninja tool, didn't know what Kazuto was going to do, but he thought it was definitely not a good thing.

Amidst the buzzing sound, several flying ninja tools roared upwards to block Ichiji.

Yi Ji glanced down, her body suddenly froze, and her wings bloomed with blue light, dotting the void.

A pair of dark pupils were beating with blazing flames.

The Kusanagi sword was put into its sheath and his hands began to form seals.

Black clouds crossed the sky, covering the sky and blocking all light.

In the space shrouded by black clouds, the air bends, which is a distorted scene that can only be produced by high temperature baking.

Even Bai Jue, who was not afraid of death, felt his heart tremble when he saw such a scene.

Then, the black cloud opened a hole.

Blazing light peeks out from the black hole.

It was a fireball.

As bright as the sun, shining in all directions and dispelling darkness.

With the first one, there will naturally be a second and third one.

Holes opened from the black clouds one by one, and in each black hole, a fireball was carefully protected.

A ball of fire that is as hot as the sun and emits light and heat.

The White Jue's skin was chapped, their eyes were dull, and they had forgotten to resist and attack. The arcs and sparks shining on the flying ninja gear could no longer withstand the high temperature of the sky. As soon as they breathed, it was like lava rolled into their throats, burning their throats and causing pain.

"Immortal Magic Black Sun!"

As a result, the entire sky was plunged into dazzling light, and countless 'suns' fell from the black hole-like clouds, trying to purify this dirty world.
