Hiding in the sand, splitting into many places, starting with Arkham

“In the east and south directions, we have mobilized over two thousand people, creating three lines of blockade. The other directions are assisted by Iwagakure, with a total force of over four thousand.”

“Elder Chiyo and Rasa, Karura, along with Iwagakure's Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the Explosion Release squad, plus the elite teams we sent out, and the siege of no less than twenty Jonin... After so many years of the Great Ninja War, it should be hard to find a scene much bigger than this.”

Kazakami Chiri wiped his kunai, looking at the large dense forest behind the team with a sigh.

“Hmph, with this lineup, even if the Third Hokage himself came, he would have to die here, let alone his disciple. If we can kill Tsunade and Kato Dan, then it would be worth it. Even if we only kill one, we won’t lose.”

Tejima Tsuguo stood beside Kazakami Chiri, looking confident.

“The mission this time is to hold this place for at least five hours, not allowing anyone to cross the inner and outer blockade lines. If the situation on the battlefield becomes critical later, I will need to command the army and won't be able to spare any attention. Shimizu and the others will have to rely on you to keep an eye on them.”

“I will pay attention, but I feel that if the three of them team up, I might not necessarily win.”

Kazakami Chiri smiled slightly and was about to say something when a deafening explosion suddenly came from the dense forest.

“That is… Explosion Release! They are already engaged with Tsunade and the others inside!”

Tejima Tsuguo exclaimed.

“It’s not too far from us. Konoha might try to break through from our direction.”

Kazakami Chiri estimated the position and speculated.

“Sensory team, two ninjas must be assigned for sensing at all times. Kato Dan's Spiritual Transformation Technique can silently interfere with a single ninja. The others stand by, ready for battle at any time!”

As soon as the order was issued, Shimizu had already taken out two puppets and covered the Fatty with them.

Maki stood in front of Shimizu.

Ebisu was behind the two.

This was the most suitable formation for the three of them after several missions. Maki's excellent swordsmanship and good Body Flicker Technique could assist Fatty on the front line, enhancing front-line combat capabilities, and provide close protection when Shimizu's main body might be threatened.

Ebisu was in the rear, using her Wind and Fire Release combination ninjutsu to provide long-range support.

The Little Boy puppet was the most mobile and could support all sides at any time. When necessary, Little Boy and Maki could switch positions to provide support.

This was the greatest use of a puppeteer on the battlefield. Not only could they serve in multiple combat positions, but they could also be as good as several people.

The sensory ninja reported to Kazakami Chiri.

Kazakami Chiri couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seemed that although there were many enemies, they were probably just feinting an attack on this route.

If Jiraiya and Orochimaru were really here, then no one here would be a match for those two.

To intercept Kage-level powerhouses, one could only rely on the army to pile up lives.

However, he couldn't be careless. If the enemy found that the defense here was weak, then the main force might switch targets and attack here.

The art of war of making the real seem illusory and the illusory seem real has been summarized in the thousands of years of war history in the ninja world.

He still had to go all out.

At the beginning of the battle, it was still a test of various large-scale army combination ninjutsu, but as long as they responded properly and made arrangements in advance, they wouldn't lose too much in a confrontation of the same size.

After that, it was time for close combat.

“Boom!”

A powerful pneumatic fist cut through the air and smashed into the muddy ground, splashing countless mud spots.

The Konoha ninja who dodged Fatty's puppet's move didn't have time to rejoice, and the next second he was swallowed by Fire Release enhanced by Wind Release.

“Ding!”

The sound of a ninja sword colliding with a kunai rang out. While Maki used Wind Release and swordsmanship to entangle another Konoha ninja, the ghostly figure of Little Boy emerged, and the rotating mechanical arm instantly pierced the heart of this Konoha ninja.

“Move to the three o’clock direction.”

Shimizu fought on one hand and divided two points of attention to the battlefield on the other.

The ability to multitask is a professional skill that puppeteers must have. As of now, Shimizu's level is not yet sufficient to perfectly control the third puppet, but it is enough to spare this bit of attention to observe the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the most important thing is to preserve one's own side while annihilating the enemy's vital forces as much as possible.

This puts demands on the observation and judgment skills of grassroots commanders.

You have to lead your team away from those tough bones and hand them over to people in your lineup who have the ability to solve them, while looking for soft persimmons that you can handle.

No one is wrong, one head, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one is watching!

The three cooperated tacitly. Under Shimizu's command, they deliberately avoided the Jonin battle zones that caused a lot of noise. Ordinary Chunin and Genin really couldn't stop them much.

However, soon, the problem of the three's lack of experience in large-scale battles was exposed.

The three of them are younger, and their chakra reserves and physical strength are not as good as adult ninjas. If this continues, they will eventually suffer losses due to chakra exhaustion.

Shimizu realized this problem because Ebisu's frequency of using ninjutsu began to decline.

He himself controls puppets, and the consumption of chakra using chakra threads is not too great. Maki is also mainly based on ninjutsu and physical skills combined with Wind Release.

Ebisu, on the other hand, was constantly throwing out Wind Release and Fire Release, and the consumption of chakra was far above the two.

“Change the battle line, Maki advances, Ebisu is in the middle, and I stand at the end. Ebisu, Maki and I will be responsible for the main attack during this period. You should recover your chakra as soon as possible, and then switch positions with Maki, and finally me.”

Shimizu said quickly, and the other two had no objection.

It is normal for opinions to be inconsistent when implementing a large strategy, but it can be fatal in a front-line battle.

Shimizu's approach will certainly lead to a decline in the team's killing efficiency, but it can also ensure the team's endurance.

No one knows when this battle will end.

After switching positions, Ebisu took out a soldier pill from her ninja bag and swallowed it without being idle, but used means such as throwing kunai and senbon to provide support and reduce the consumption of chakra.

However, although the three changed their combat strategy, their previous limelight still made them targeted.

“Ninja Art · Mind Body Switch Technique!”

A young male voice sounded, and Maki's movements couldn't help but pause, and then he slashed the ninja sword in his hand towards Ebisu.

“Clang~!”

Ebisu turned around and raised a kunai to block it.

Seeing this, Shimizu was about to make a move, but found that his body couldn't move.

Because a straight shadow was connected to his feet.
