Escape From Konoha

The western part of the Fire Nation.

Under the dark night, fires were everywhere, and the ceaseless artillery fire was like thunder in the sky, roaring with a roar that shook the earth.

The camp area of ​​the fifth regiment of the Alliance Army was now deeply engulfed in flames.

Due to the sudden attack and the fact that the command level of the fifth wing was almost in a state of "annihilation", the squadrons lost contact with each other. After being raided for the first time, even with their excellent combat qualities, they did not immediately Organize an effective counterattack against attackers.

What's more, the crowds coming from all directions in the dark night launched an all-out attack on all the troops of the 5th Wing. Even the sky was occupied by air forces that were not part of the Alliance Army. There was a constant buzzing sound, one after another. The flying ninja tool is like an angel of death descending on the world, and the ammunition it projects sets off boundless storms and waves of fire on the earth.

According to inaccurate calculations, the Fifth Regiment has suffered tens of thousands of casualties since the battle.

The medical force is paralyzed, the communication force is paralyzed, and the command department is also paralyzed. The so-called coalition counterattack force is just a hastily organized force of uncontrolled Jonin. Although it can produce a certain resistance, it will not Facing endless enemies and advanced fire coverage from land and air, it quickly collapsed and was vulnerable to a single blow.

Screams and panics were heard. The camp area of ​​the Fifth Regiment was riddled with holes as it continued to fight and shrink its territory.

The more he resisted, the more he felt that desperate death was approaching him.

"Damn it, what happened at the headquarters? Why can't I contact you!?"

The alliance jounin, with blood-stained gauze wrapped around his forehead, fought hard and picked up a handheld communicator to contact the communication unit of the fifth wing. Until now, the captain of the fifth wing, Mifune, including those who served as None of the important squadron commanders of the unit showed up, and they all seemed to have disappeared mysteriously, which made him feel angry and humiliated.

I don't understand what the people in the command center are doing.

The enemy has already attacked this place, but there is no response at all.

However, what came from the communicator was the rustling sound of electromagnetic waves after the instrument failed, and the signal could no longer be received.

Snapped!

The Alliance Army jounin turned red with anger and resisted the urge to throw the communicator to the ground and crush it with his foot.

"Don't retreat and resist for a moment longer. Reinforcements will be coming soon——"

As a last resort, he had no choice but to issue such an order, calling to his fellow allies around him not to retreat, but to stop the enemy here.

Poof!

The sound of the blade penetrating flesh made the Alliance Army jounin freeze up and let out a painful whimper.

"Well!"

He looked at the blade that penetrated from his waist, stained with bright red blood.

Looking sideways, a Kirigakure ninja looked at him expressionlessly, then drew out his blade, quickly jumped back, and when the people around him were stunned, he broke away from the team and disappeared into the sea of ​​fire.

"what happened?"

"Why did he..."

"Is there a spy among us?"

"Captain, are you okay?"

When they reacted, they seemed to understand something.

But the Jonin captain of the Alliance Army was sitting on the ground with serious injuries, and the flesh on his face was twisted together in pain. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, the blow just now would not have hit his side.

Although he was angry at the other party's betrayal, the most important thing now was to heal the wound. Otherwise, he would not be able to fight at all in this situation.

A Konoha medical ninja wearing a forehead protector with the word "nin" hurriedly ran up. He was wearing a white coat covered with burn marks, carrying a portable medical kit, and rushed over like lightning.

"I have nothing... to do..."

The Alliance Army Jonin only saw a flash of silver light, his neck went cold, and blood spurted out.

The medical ninja opened the medical box with skillful skills, took out a scalpel, and quickly wiped his throat.

The Jonin of the Alliance army felt the weakness of his body, and his consciousness fell into the boundless darkness. He fell to the ground with a dazed mood, and his body cooled down rapidly.

"Damn it, he's a traitor too!"

The surrounding ninjas immediately reacted and wanted to go up and kill the Konoha medical ninja.

A blood dragon flew from the side, swept across the ground, and knocked them away.

The medical ninja from Konoha didn't look back. He took the medical kit, took off the forehead protector with the word 'nin' on his forehead, and ran out of the battlefield.

The defense line collapsed at the first touch, and there was no way to resist the enemy's attack.

Wearing silver chakra armor, the Jonin of the Demon Country charged at the front line. Behind him were both the ninja troops of the Demon Country and a large number of strengthened soldiers. The place he passed by was like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, rushing in like a broken bamboo. The Fifth Wing's Alliance hinterland further compressed the Fifth Wing's living space.

Such a scene was played out at almost every defensive position of the Fifth Wing. The troops were wary of each other and their teammates who didn't know when to betray them. They also had to face the enemy's pursuit in the absence of superior commanders. Fighting, the situation can be said to be extremely unfavorable.

The buzzing sound of flying ninja tools made the Alliance ninjas on the battlefield feel frightened.

Although they knew that the opponent's air force would not project ammunition during the melee, just hearing the sound made them feel fear in their hearts.

The samurai shrank in the hinterland of the camp, constantly accepting Alliance ninjas who escaped from the outside. Each of them was injured and disgraced. They fled to a safe place, fell to the ground numbly, and were treated by medical staff.

Due to the shortage of medical resources, the medical team's manpower was extremely anxious when facing tens of thousands of wounded. Even stretchers and beds were not enough, so the wounded could only be allowed to lie down on the spot for emergency treatment.

However, faced with the large-scale troops surrounded from all sides, even if the communication troops had repaired the communication equipment, the Alliance Army headquarters would not be able to provide immediate support.

Faced with such an onslaught, the fifth wing's camp space was less than one-tenth of its original size, and the space was still being compressed rapidly.

They seemed to be trapped on an isolated island, surrounded by the sea, without rafts and boats, so they could only stay where they were, waiting for the favor of death.

The sea of ​​blood formed by the escape technique drowned thousands of ninjas. Every impact and swoop of the blood dragon could cause more than a dozen casualties.

Chino, the leader of the Lightning Regiment, as long as she targeted the defense line, no unit could resist for more than three minutes.

Her strength is equal to that of the Five Kages, and her subordinates are all ninjas with the same secret skills and blood inheritance as the Thorns Team. Just one of their troops is enough to cause thousands of casualties in the Fifth Wing in a short period of time.

Without Mifune, the captain of the 5th Alliance, taking action, Chino's offensive left the Alliance ninjas powerless to contend.

"They have completely shrunk. Now those guarding the outside have almost become the samurai troops of the Iron Kingdom."

Feng Xin, the second-in-command of the Lightning Regiment, a ninja with the limit of Tai Eun Xue Sui, came to Qianno's side and said.

"This is so useless. A ninja force of 20,000 people is so vulnerable. My last trick has not been used yet."

After Qianno heard this, she raised her eyebrows.

"There is no way. When the headquarters is almost wiped out, we still have to guard against sneak attacks by traitors in the army... It is already considered amazing to be able to persist to this point."

Feng Xin shook his head.

If we hadn't taken the lead in capturing the headquarters of the Fifth Wing, it would have been unrealistic to achieve results so quickly, and the price of sacrifice would have been even greater.

Being able to hinder their attack to a certain extent despite so many unfavorable factors should be said to be worthy of being a coalition of the five major powers.

As far as ninjas go, they are all pretty good.

Unfortunately, there is no equivalence in war.

Their side has intelligence, equipment, numbers, and comprehensive suppression by top ninjas. Unless the main force of the Alliance Army in the Land of Rain can quickly return to defense, defeat is already certain.

"Then we hit the ground with overwhelming force and decided the outcome in one breath."

Qianno made a move with his palm, and several blood dragons once again split into the sea of ​​blood behind him.

"No. So far, we have not been blocked by the samurai. It seems that the three ships have not been captured, but the people on our side who are placed at the fifth wing headquarters were captured by him. If we continue to attack, they will soon Possibly life-threatening."

Feng Xin frowned and stopped Qianno from continuing the attack.

Qian Nao looked at Feng Xin and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Since Mifune did not participate in the battle, it means that he and the alliance are not of the same mind. Although we can eliminate him, we will have to pay a considerable price. According to speculation, the chakra armor on the Jonin can block Can’t hold back his blade.”

Feng Xin's words made Qian Na thoughtful.

Every Jonin is a valuable resource. If you want to kill Mifune and those thousands of samurai, even they will have to pay a certain price and further increase the casualties.

And this casualty does not seem to be a necessary product.

"So, are you going to negotiate with him now?"

Qianno continued to ask.

Feng Xin nodded, looked at the last unoccupied territory of the fifth regiment in front, and replied: "At this point, it is impossible for that samurai general not to be able to see the current situation."

As he spoke, he took out his communicator and said to the person on the other side: "Let all the troops temporarily stop their attacks and now enter the wartime negotiation stage."

Soon, the sound of fighting on the battlefield disappeared, leaving only the sound coming from the flying ninja tools in the sky, which continued to be released in the sky.

Afterwards, he and Qianno looked at each other, and led the Thunderbolt Group and a team of Oni Country ninjas towards the last camp of the Fifth Wing.

The entrance guarded by samurai was very wary of the approach of Qianno and others, but they only pressed their palms on the handles of the swords at their waists, without drawing out the swords, and faced each other with the blades.

And this undoubtedly gave a signal to Qianno and others - samurai and ninjas are not of the same mind.

The ninja troops of the fifth alliance of the Alliance Army were almost collapsed. Although they could still cause certain obstacles and casualties to the Kingdom of Demons, from the macro perspective of the war, these casualties were within the tolerance of Qianno and others.

But if they were to face a counterattack by a samurai close to the Five Kage level, the sacrifices would undoubtedly increase, and the number of casualties might exceed their original budget by a lot.

Not to mention, the manpower they placed at the Fifth Wing headquarters was controlled by Mifune.

"Mifune-sama, Miss Chino from the Lightning Regiment has requested to speak."

Samurai Okisuke went back again and conveyed the negotiation conditions of the Thunder Light Group outside the camp to Mifune, who was sitting firmly in the center of the camp.

"Negotiation? We have killed and injured so many people, why should we negotiate now? Captain, there is only one way in front of us now, and that is to fight out and fight them to the death!"

Some injured squadron leaders with violent tempers could not bear this humiliating ending and only wanted to kill more enemies before dying.

Even if they will fail, the enemy will have to pay a bloody price if they want to destroy them.

"That's right. Before that, take these traitor sacrificial flags to avenge your dead comrades!"

The captain of the squadron, Jonin, who had already killed him, glanced at the bound 'traitor' with astonishment. There were more than twenty people in total, two of them were Jonin, and the rest were all Chuunin.

These people sat on the ground, staring at the malicious eyes around them, without saying a word and remaining silent.

If the war continues, they also realize what kind of fate awaits them.

In their condition, no one can save them.

"I can understand your anger, but please calm down and look at the companions around you who are no longer able to fight. Are you really willing to watch them all die?"

Mifune sighed and pointed around.

Due to the shortage of medical land, even this area is full of wounded people.

The sound of wailing and crying became audible, and many people looked numb. They were obviously greatly stimulated. There was no will to fight on their faces, and in their frightened eyes, they yearned for the belief to live.

Although there are some ninjas among them who will fight to the death even if they are injured. Before they die, they have the idea that killing one person will not make a loss, but killing two people will make a profit. However, it is an indisputable fact that the fighting will of the entire fifth alliance of the Alliance Army is shrinking rapidly.

"We can no longer contact the headquarters, and we can't contact the main force of the Alliance Army in the Land of Grass. But I think even if we can contact them, the situation on their side is probably not very good. The ninjas who can fight here have already There are less than three thousand people, and most of the rest are wounded who cannot fight. I think you all know what this means."

Mifune sighed.

In this battle, after spies appeared from within, the Lightning Regiment rebelled, and the communications department was blown up, he knew it was impossible to win.

Leaving the crowd with complicated expressions behind, Mifune walked out of the camp with his confidants Satokaku and Okosuke, as well as two groups of samurai.

Outside the camp, I saw the Thunder Group, who were waiting seriously, and a group of ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Behind them was a dense crowd, and a large number of armored artillery vehicles were formed into formations and lined up.

Among them, there are also a large number of Alliance ninjas who have become prisoners.

Seeing this scene, Mifune was horrified that the Kingdom of Demons could actually mobilize such a large-scale expeditionary force. In terms of numbers alone, it far exceeded the total number of members of the fifth regiment.

"I didn't expect that the Thunder Light Regiment was also a special operations force trained by the military of the Kingdom of Ghosts. This is really surprising."

Mifune came here and looked at the leadership of the Thunder Light Group and the leader Chino, feeling extremely emotional.

"Needless to say, Mifune-dono, you should clearly understand the current situation. At this stage of the battle, the Fifth Wing has no chance to turn defeat into victory. Even with just one order from me, the entire Fifth Wing will be wiped out."

Qianno said the words with great momentum.

Mifune was not shocked, but nodded lightly and said: "I understand this situation. I wonder what kind of conditions Miss Chino wants to negotiate now?"

"Let your warriors evacuate and return the captives who fell into the hands of the warriors. We will not take the initiative to turn against neutral countries."

Qianno directly explained his intention.

"What about the ninjas of the Fifth Alliance?"

"If they are willing to surrender, we will not endanger their lives out of the spirit of international humanitarianism. But if they persist in resisting, we can only completely defeat them."

Qianno's palm-sized face was filled with solemnity, and her red eyes shone with a strange brilliance.

The ground beneath her feet turned red, caused by her Ninjutsu, and drops of blood began to float upward, as bright as gems dripping blood.

"Alas... I am still the captain of the fifth regiment."

"Be more specific."

Chino glared at Mifune.

Mifune said calmly: "I can surrender on behalf of the Fifth Regiment."

"Mifune-dono, you are just a samurai. I advise you not to meddle in your own business. There is no way to delay time."

Qianno said coldly.

There was murderous intent in his eyes.

The longer time passes, the more combat effectiveness the Alliance ninjas in the camp will regain. When the time comes to face the prepared Alliance forces, their sacrifices will definitely increase.

"Thirty minutes. Within thirty minutes, I will persuade the resisting ninjas and give Miss Qianno a satisfactory answer."

Mifune also saw Qianno's difficulties. She hoped that the fifth regiment would surrender. After all, a prepared counterattack by so many ninjas would cause considerable casualties to the Demon Country troops here. Coupled with the fact that the way of survival has been cut off, the counterattack of the Alliance Army will be extremely crazy. The longer the time is delayed, the more detrimental it will be to the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Therefore, he proposed thirty minutes to persuade them to surrender.

After Qianno heard this, she frowned tightly and seemed to be thinking seriously.

"What if thirty minutes pass and there is still no result?"

If it was only thirty minutes, she could afford to wait.

After all, the Fifth Regiment has become a lone force in the encirclement. Even if their fighting will is greatly enhanced due to the stimulation of grief and anger, it is impossible to escape from the encirclement.

Based on this situation, Qianno felt that he could give the alliance forces a chance to consider surrender.

"When the time comes, no matter what the outcome is, I will lead the samurai away, return all the prisoners, resign as captain of the fifth regiment, and no longer interfere with anything in the Alliance Army. I will always value peace in everything I do throughout my life. . There has been enough bloodshed so far in this war, there is no need to add innocent casualties."

Mifune sincerely hopes that Qianno can give the ninjas of the fifth regiment a way to survive.

Qianano glanced at Feng Xin, who nodded slightly. Qianano turned around and said to Mifune: "In that case, I will wait for thirty minutes. When the time is over, if the fifth regiment still resists, then still Please leave, warriors, because I will attack indiscriminately."

"Thank you."

Mifune nodded solemnly and turned back to the camp with the samurai behind him.

After Mifune left, Qianno waved slightly, and the troops behind him dispersed in an orderly manner, getting ready for battle.

Before the result is settled, the ninjas of the Fifth Wing cannot be completely relaxed to prevent them from using this half hour to prepare for war and make a breakout.

Although the possibility is slim, it doesn't hurt to be careful.

"Feng Xin, how credible do you think the other party's words are?"

Qianno asked.

She controlled the blood to penetrate into the earth, so that the earth was covered with the blood she controlled. It would be better if the Fifth Wing surrendered and joined in the resistance to the end. The blood that seeped into the ground would be a surprise for the Fifth Wing.

The fifth team can use this half hour to adjust their breath, so she can also use this half hour to complete the arrangement of her forbidden technique.

Her blood inheritance limit is limited, and the thing she is not afraid of the most is large numbers of people. This battlefield has produced a large amount of blood loss due to the casualties on both sides. Under the control of her ninjutsu, this blood will become her weapon against the enemy.

"Based on the intelligence alone, Admiral Mifune is naturally a trustworthy person. But in this situation, it is impossible for us to listen to the one-sided information of the intelligence. If the estimate is wrong, we will pay a huge sacrifice. Yes. It is naturally best to persuade them to surrender, but we must also do a good job of warming up for the decisive battle."

Feng Xin spoke calmly.

Looking at the camp with constant wailing in front of me, my heart is as hard as stone.

In the face of war, any mercy or weakness will bring huge harm to oneself.

Even if he believed in Mifune, the weapons in his hands must be on standby at all times. As long as the opponent resisted, he would use the most brutal means to suppress him.

Qianno stopped talking and concentrated on controlling the blood seeping into the ground, waiting for time to pass.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Mifune walked out of the camp on time. There was no trace of happiness or anger in his serious expression.

Qianno glanced at Fengxin and took the initiative to step forward and intercept Mifune.

Chino's glowing red eyes stared at Mifune, the chakra in her body flowing through her torso and limbs.

"Mifune-dono, half an hour has passed. I think you samurai and the ninjas of the fifth regiment have negotiated a result that satisfies me."

Mifune took a deep breath, with a relieved smile on his face, and nodded and replied: "Yes, after my mediation, the Alliance ninjas inside are willing to surrender to Miss Qianno and give up resistance, but they proposed two condition."

"tell me the story."

"First, they hope that our samurai will act as a neutral party and protect their lives after they surrender. Second, they are in urgent need of medical ninjas and various medical supplies. They hope that you can undertake the corresponding international humanitarian work. Spirit."

Mifune stared directly at Chino, seeking the other party's approval.

Qianno pondered for a moment and agreed.

"...This is what it should be. I am very grateful to Mr. Mifune for being a neutral party and building a bridge of peace for both of us."

She also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

With so many Alliance ninjas fighting to the death, she had to pay a corresponding price. Since she could take down the opponent's entire army in this non-combat way, it was naturally the best.

After seeing the strong armed forces of the Kingdom of Ghosts and the unknown number of spies inside, there may be major internal dangers, which may be one of the important reasons why they have to consider surrendering.

"Then, happy to work with you, Miss Chino."

Mifune held out his hand.

“A pleasure to work with.”

Qianno also stretched out her hand and shook it to express her goodwill.
