Chapter 173 Trump Card 3

Accompanied by the sound of intensive explosions, the right side of the main force of Iwa Ninja began to slowly advance towards Konoha's front.

This was the first time the Iwa Ninja had an advantage since the battle. For a time, the morale of the Iwa Ninjas was greatly boosted, and they took action one after another, trying their best to hold back the enemies in front of them so that they could not support them.

But Yi Chen couldn't be happy, because this progress was temporary, Iwa Ninja just took advantage of it, and when Konoha also uses its trump card, Iwa Ninja's last guarantee will disappear.

Will the Iwa Ninja be able to safely withdraw from the battle by then?

Commander Konoha now has two options. One option is to fight each other, which is to ignore the Iwa ninja blasting troops and sacrifice part of them. Use many ninja children to attack. In this way, Konoha can win on a large scale.

.

The winner in the end will definitely be Konoha, but with this method, Konoha will suffer a lot of losses. Of course, the Iwa Ninja will suffer even greater losses.

Another method is to send the ninja clan children to fight against the demolition troops. In this case, Konoha will be defeated and the Iwa ninja will be unable to make progress.

As the ace demolition force is trapped deep in the enemy's main force, the Iwa ninja will not be able to retreat safely. In the end, Konoha will most likely achieve a complete victory.

The former was a miserable victory. Even if they won, they wouldn't have much power to support Platycodon Castle. Because Konoha couldn't just ignore the Iwa-nin just because they won the first battle, and the subsequent Iwa-nin would send troops.

The latter can preserve Konoha's power to the greatest extent. After victory, Konoha will still have enough power to support Platycodon Castle.

So Yichen soon discovered that there was a troop of about seven or eight hundred people in Konoha's formation, and they quickly moved towards the location of the demolition troops.

After a while, the two troops met.

Suddenly, a large number of parasites began to spread. All kinds of dogs barked everywhere. Giants were ready to wreak havoc.

Not to mention Yichen, who had read the original work, even the other Iwa ninjas knew the origins of those people immediately.

Nouns such as Aburazuka, Nara, Yamazaka, Akimichi, Yuhi, Sarutobi, Moonlight, etc. appeared in everyone's mind.

Immediately, the morale of the Konoha side immediately increased, while the Iwa ninjas all looked worried.

Yichen is also not very optimistic about the situation on his side and is hesitating whether to ask Ban if there are any other arrangements.

A white light suddenly flashed from the corner of his eye.

"Huh? What is it?" The white light flashed and disappeared without making any sound. Yichen thought it was an illusion for a while.

But this is a battlefield, this is the world of ninjas. If you encounter something unclear, don't treat it as an illusion.

Yichen immediately looked in the direction of the demolition troops and was shocked.

"What's happening here?"

The scene that caught Yichen's eyes was this. In front of the blasting force, there were the Konoha clan disciples who were preparing to show off their skills. At this time, a vacuum zone five meters wide and nearly a hundred meters long appeared.

This vacuum area was neatly arranged and looked very abrupt. All the people in it had disappeared.

The most terrifying thing is not the sudden disappearance of the ninjas in this vacuum area. It is the ninjas at the edge of this vacuum area. Part of their bodies disappeared, but part of their bodies still existed.

Since the length of this area reaches nearly a hundred meters, a large number of body parts and limbs are left behind.

Some ninjas who were missing part of their bodies were still alive. These people didn't feel any pain at first. It took them a while to react, and each of them screamed in horror and pain.

"Dust Escape!"

This scene is not unfamiliar to Yichen. Many years ago, when he was still in ANBU, he had seen a similar situation. Yichen remembered that incident that caused Konoha White Fang to commit suicide. It almost caused the Third War to break out several years in advance.

Yichen looked behind him along the hundred-meter-long trace.

Sure enough, Ohnoki appeared in mid-air at some unknown time, and looking at his hands, he was already preparing the next Dust Escape.

Yi Chen turned his head to look at the battlefield. At this time, many people in the Konoha camp also reacted. Among the ninja disciples, some people were shouting: "Spread out, spread out quickly. This is Dust Release, Ohnoki is coming."

A yellow figure kept flashing in the crowd, and every time it flashed, it would take away a Konoha elite.

At the same time, a voice came into Yichen's ears.

"Tokudun - Earthflow Castle Wall." This was Jiraiya's voice.

Then a huge mountain of earth stood directly in the middle of the two armies.

Boom~~~

The white light flashed again, this time the effect was far less powerful than the first time. The white light avoided the Konoha ninja clan who had been blocked by the earth flow wall, and fell into the denser group of ninjas on the other side. It was taken away again

The lives of hundreds of ninjas.

"Retreat, retreat across the board." Exclamations came from the Konoha troops.

Almost at the same time, orders for pursuit came from the Iwa Ninjas.

"Huh~~" Yichen finally breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder the order issued by Ban today was so abnormal and he was so eager to seek a decisive battle.

Even though he knew that Konoha had two Kage-level fighters, he still insisted on confronting them head-on. It turned out that Onoki was here too, and it turned out that Saka had such a strong trump card.

Speaking of which, Onoki was really willing to take risks and was willing to sneak attack a group of ordinary ninjas as a Tsuchikage.

When he first traveled through time, Yichen had the impression that the dust escape was a move used by shadow-level warriors in battle. Yichen once thought it was a single-target ninjutsu.

It was only later from the introduction of S-level ninjutsu in Iwa Ninja Village that I realized that dust release has always been a group attack ninjutsu. Long range and large range are the characteristics of dust release.

The charging process of Chen Escape is destined to not work well when strong people fight.

Therefore, Dust Escape is more suitable for group battles.

The next battle was simple. Under the leadership of Onoki, the Iwa Ninja were unstoppable, and like the Sand Ninja, they pushed Konoha's front directly to the border of the Land of Fire.

Onoki retreated as soon as he saw it was good, and did not block the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers like the Sand Ninja. Instead, he led his troops back to the Land of Earth, leaving only a small number of troops in the Land of Grass. The layout of the entire ninja was almost

Exactly the same as before the war.

After this battle, Iwa Ninja, as the victor, did not feel well, and suffered losses of more than 2,000 ninjas. Fortunately, most of these ninjas were middle genin. For example, the previous forward force lost nearly 90%, and they followed Ikura and Masumi to escape.

Almost all those who came back were elite.

In the ensuing positional battle between the two sides, Iwa Ninja and Konoha each lost hundreds of people.

Later, he followed the demolition troops to attack Konoha's defense line, and during the subsequent pursuit, hundreds of ninjas were killed and injured due to the desperate counterattack of a large number of Konoha ninjas.

The loss on Iwa Ninja's side has reached more than 20%.

So when Yichen returned to the camp and came out of a short retreat, he saw that although the faces of the rock ninjas had the joy of victory, they were more sad about losing their comrades.

After walking around the camp, Yichen came to the headquarters. There were a lot of things going on in the headquarters before, but now the busiest time has passed.

Seeing Yichen coming in, Yi Cang, Ban and the other two deputy commanders in the headquarters nodded to Yichen.

Ohnoki said directly: "Yichen, tell me what you think, why you persuaded me to withdraw my troops before."

That's right, the reason why Onoki gave up when he saw the situation was good was because he listened to Yichen's advice when he pursued him to the border of the Land of Fire.

"Lord Tsuchikage, seniors, this is what I think. We have completed the original strategic goal and held back the main force of Konoha. And we have exceeded the goal."

"Konoha lost at least four thousand people in this battle. Although most of those killed in the final pursuit were middle genin. However, there were hundreds of ninja elites who died in the dust escape."

"Konoha has suffered heavy losses both in terms of numbers and core strength. It is no longer possible for our direct enemies to support Platycodon Castle in a short time."

"But if we continue to advance, Konoha's attitude towards the battlefield of Grassland will change from deploying troops to sending reinforcements."

"When the time comes, we will be just like the Sand Ninjas now, unable to advance, reluctant to retreat. The two sides will turn from a short-term war into a long-term war of attrition."

"And if we stop in time, Konoha's main focus will still be on Platycodon City, and our original strategy of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers will not change."

At this time, a deputy commander of the southern camp intervened: "However, if we continue to attack, as long as we severely damage or even destroy the enemy in front of us, then the Fire Country will be pulled down from its position as the largest country.

"

Yichen shook his head and said: "First of all, we may not win. Konoha has reinforcements. Don't forget, the Third Hokage hasn't moved yet."

"If we press forward step by step, it is very likely that Konoha will shift its focus from Platycodon City to us. When the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, and Namikaze Minato take action together, can we still win?"

"What's more, Konoha still has the Nine-Tails. We have used the tailed beasts. Will Konoha be reluctant to use the tailed beasts seeing that its dominance is in jeopardy?"

The man was speechless, and Yi Chenci continued: "Second, even if we really win, how much will we lose."

"Today, Tsuchikage-sama, in the form of a fresh force, took action at a critical moment when both sides were anxious, instantly shaking Konoha's military morale. This is how we achieved a great victory."

"But if Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato are prepared, even if we win, how many people will be left?"

"At that time, Konoha will certainly lose its dominance, but will it still be us Iwa ninjas who will replace Konoha as the number one ninja village?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Yes, we had set a policy to reap the benefits. How could we forget it in the heat of the moment?

After a pause, Yichen said: "Moreover, there are three benefits to peace talks with Konoha."

"First, Konoha is in a difficult situation at this time. We can extort a lot of money. Indemnity, transfer of task shares, and even cession of territory are all possible."

Seeing that several people were very moved, Yichen kept up his efforts and continued: "In addition, we can also propose to let Konoha share some ninjutsu."

"Hiss~~" A gasping sound immediately sounded in the office.

Ninjutsu, this is the foundation of a Ninja village. Konoha is the most generous in this aspect, with almost no shortcomings. However, Iwa Ninja's collection is seriously partial.

If we can get a batch of ninjutsu from Konoha, even if they are only A-level or even only B-level, which is rare for Iwa-nin, we can greatly improve the individual strength of Iwa-nin.

"Continue." Ohnoki has a much better attitude than the others, but he wants to know what other reasons Yichen has next.

Yichen smiled slightly and said: "Second, if we negotiate peace with Konoha, Konoha can send troops to support other battlefields. Although Konoha's dominance can be maintained, it will also force other villages to fight with Konoha.

.”

"This is exactly in line with our strategic intention. We can watch the war between the ninja world and get out of the war early."

Everyone nodded involuntarily, this was what everyone expected most.

"As for the third one," Yichen showed a sly smile and said shockingly: "We can let Konoha win the third battle as soon as possible."
