Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide!

On October 15, Kirigakure 47, the anti-Kirigakure alliance led by the four major ninja villages of Konoha, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure was formally established.

Due to the fact that Kiden Shingetsu has assumed the title of daimyo, compared to the anti-Konoha alliance in the Third Ninja War, the momentum of this anti-Kirigakure alliance can be said to be greater.

Basically, all the famous countries in the ninja world responded to the call of the anti-Kirigakure alliance. The number of countries that responded was so large and the scope of the response was so wide that it can be called the ninja world's version of the anti-French alliance.

Even the ordinary anti-French alliance is no longer enough to describe the grand occasion of this alliance. If you really want to compare it, it has to be the seventh anti-French alliance formed by European countries after Napoleon escaped from Elba.

The establishment of the Anti-Kirigakure Alliance, because of its large number of members, can be said to be unprecedentedly powerful. Those people who did not understand the inside story had basically concluded that Kirigakure Village was defeated this time.

After all, even Konoha, which has maintained the title of No. 1 in the ninja world for decades, was still defeated by the four major ninja villages in the third ninja war.

And this time, the anti-Kigakure alliance is far more powerful than before. Not many people think that Kirigakure Village has the possibility of winning.

In particular, the addition of the "demigod" Sanshouyu Hanzo has added a bit of power to the alliance.

As a strong man who single-handedly raised the Ame Ninja Village, a low-level ninja village, to the point where it can compete with the Taki Ninja Village as the sixth largest ninja village, it is self-evident how famous Sansho Hanzo is in the ninja world. .

Because of this, the strong will always be strong, and more and more people with various purposes are pouring into the alliance army, looking forward to taking a piece of fat in the war against Kirigakure Village.

While these people expanded the alliance's momentum, they also inevitably made the alliance's components more complex.

There is no need to think that Kirigakure must rely on these people to add sand to the alliance.

Ohnoki and others still welcome this after all. At worst, these people can also play a role in consuming Kirigakure Village's supplies.

However, for reasons of confidentiality, some highly confidential plans such as the "Beheading Plan" will definitely not be told to these people.

So after preliminary training and coordination, on October 25, the Anti-Kirigakure Alliance officially announced a war against Kirigakure Village.

According to the data on paper, the Anti-Kirigakure Alliance has about 100,000 ninjas, while the Kirigakure Village only has 20,000 people at full strength. The nearly five-to-one figure makes all those present who have never really seen the strength of Ghost Light Crescent Moon. Full of confidence in victory.

Facing this unprecedentedly powerful anti-Kirigakure alliance, the first thing Kirigakure Village needs to do is to abolish all the major forward military bases located outside the Kingdom of Water and gather all the personnel.

After the Second Ninja World War, the five major countries divided their spheres of influence. Kiden Crescent used the policies of the Ocean Rim Ninja Alliance and Kirigakure students to absorb the ninja villages from the small countries around the Land of Water into Kirigakure. Within the scope of the village's military system.

On weekdays, these small ninja villages scattered around the Kingdom of Water are the military advance bases of Kirigakure Village. They are mainly responsible for supplying Kirigakure outside and providing strategic support at critical moments.

But in the face of this huge military offensive, these forward bases scattered along the coast of the mainland have no effect at all.

Arranging manpower here has no effect at all except giving the other party a life in vain.

Therefore, Gui Deng Xinyue simply retreated the front line, surrendered all these coastal territories including the Kingdom of Whirlpool, and concentrated on setting the main battlefield on the ocean and the mainland of the Kingdom of Water.

So the first war between the Anti-Kigakure Alliance and Kirigakure Village officially started on the ocean.

——

Wow!

The sound of the waves is endless, and it will not change in any way due to the changes in the ninja world.

The number of passenger and cargo ships in the offshore area, which used to be busy day and night, has dropped off a cliff in the past few days, and not even a single merchant ship can be seen sailing on this offshore area all night long.

But today was different. I saw a huge fleet that covered the sky and the sun, coming from the direction of the Ninja Continent in the distance and slowly heading towards the Kingdom of Water.

Perhaps out of caution, perhaps out of maintaining a formation, or perhaps in order to gather so many ships, some of the sailors on board were inexperienced, so this huge fleet moved at an unusually slow speed.

However, this also led to the fact that from a distance, this huge fleet looked like a mountain, charging towards the Kingdom of Water with a slow but determined attitude in a majestic and heavy manner.

"Huh... I'm really not used to this ocean!"

A dark-skinned Kumo ninja breathed a long sigh of relief towards the sea, bent down and leaned on the deck railing, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and let out a sigh.

Although the four major countries are all close to the ocean, not everyone is adaptable to the conditions of the ocean. Even jounin, many people have experienced seasickness in the past few days.

Obviously, this Kumo ninja is a seasick patient.

"Shanzo, cheer up, Kirigakure will definitely not sit still and wait for death. With their naval warfare technology and the poor strategic depth of the Kingdom of Water, they will definitely fight us on the sea."

An older Kumo ninja was lying on the deck, with his hands folded behind his head, lazily reminding his teammates.

There are also many talented people in the coalition forces. The Kirigakure Village deliberately evacuated its coastal strongholds on the mainland. It is easy for people to guess that Kirigakure Village will have a showdown with the coalition forces at sea.

"Strictly speaking, our ships are the center of the fleet. Even if they launch an attack, it is impossible for the Mist Ninja to attack us first, right? Don't worry, we have the cannon fodder on the periphery to test, so we are very safe here."

From the outside to the inside, the fleet consists of the mercenary ninjas, the ninjas from the small ninja villages, and the ninjas from the four major ninja villages.

If Kirigakure Village were to attack, they would definitely attack in this order. This is why the Kumo ninja was so relaxed.

Woo!

While the two were talking, a large fog suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance.

The fog appeared so quickly and covered such a wide area that the huge fleet had no time to turn and entered the fog as a whole.

"Be careful, this must be Kirigakure's trick!"

This strange fog instantly attracted the attention of the ninjas on the fleet. However, when it comes to naval battles, Kirigakure Village is their ancestor. Even though they discovered the clues, they were still unable to guard against Kirigakure Village's offensive.

"...Ship, the cabin is flooded!"

The first is the most classic water ghost ship-cutting battle. The mist ninjas hidden under the bottom of the ship hold sharp blades and cut holes one after another in the bottom of the ship, causing many ships to sink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although all the ninjas present can stand on the water with chakra, this is not a long-term solution.

On this boundless ocean, even a ninja will only end up running out of chakra and being buried in the sea.

And even if they didn't fall into the water, the mist ninjas were really not afraid of anyone when they were treading water and fighting on this ocean.

After the water ghost ship-cutting battle, there was a long-range salvo bombardment by the Kirigakure armored warship force hidden in the thick fog.

After experiencing the Industrial Revolution, Kirigakure Village's artillery technology has also made great progress.

These artillery pieces may not be very effective against nimble ninjas, but they are effective against fleets whose targets are large and difficult to turn.

Under the ultra-long-range attack of the armored warships, many coalition warships sank immediately, and the ninjas on board also fell to the ocean one by one like dumplings.

It can only be said that fortunately the commander of the coalition force did not have a "flash of inspiration" and locked the ships with iron chains horizontally to stabilize the ships.

Otherwise, in this era when only Kirigakure has control over iron-clad battleships, Ghost Light Crescent only needs to imitate the sages and be able to create a Chibi Fire.

However, after all, the coalition forces were large in number. After experiencing the initial panic, they quickly restored their organizational structure, gathered the morale of the army, and launched a spontaneous counterattack based on the strength of jounin in each region.

Although the Mist Ninja were top-notch in every naval battle, they could not withstand the large number of people on the opposite side. After a brief initial advantage, they soon fell into a disadvantage.

"Heh, I thought the Mist Ninja's naval combat skills were so good, but now it seems like they are nothing more than that..."

Just when a man was standing on the bow of the boat, dismissive of the performance of the Mist Ninja not far away, he suddenly felt a dark cloud rising above his head. He looked up and saw a huge turtle slowly emerging from the water. Eyes as tall as two men were staring at him.

Before he could react, he saw the turtle's mouth wide open, a red light flashing from it, and in a short time it expanded into a tailed beast jade several meters in diameter, spraying in his direction.

boom!

The tail beast jade of the three tails directly destroyed all the nearby ships, and even the remaining force was not reduced. The tail beast jade penetrated the ship and hit the ocean, and also exploded a huge water splash, causing waves of waves.

hold head high!

When Sanwei saw this scene, he shouted excitedly.

Although this three-tailed Isofu is said to be the most Buddhist among the nine tailed beasts, it is still a tailed beast after all, and it will inevitably reveal some of its true nature when it is engaged in life-and-death killings.

However, it was not happy for long. Before it could fire a few tailed beast jade, a huge cat's claw appeared out of thin air and slapped Isofu's head hard with one paw.

"Tailed beast versus tailed beast, it's only fair, isn't it?"

Standing on the flagpole of the ship, the second-tailed Jinchuuriki of Cloud Hidden Village stood on the flagpole of the ship, looked at Isofu's huge body, and made a faint sound.

"Tailed beasts are fair to tailed beasts, but three-tailed jinchuriki is unfair to two-tailed jinchuriki, little girl."

The main commander of the attack, Gotachibana Yagura, appeared in Iso and stroked his head, holding a short sword and looking at Yukito, with a smile on his face.

boom!

Before Yumu Ren could say anything, he saw a light blue light flashing across the horizon in the distance, and then a thick chakra light beam streaked across the sky, hitting the ground with a swift and violent force. The second-tailed Nekomata was thrown into the sea.

"How does the Chakra Cannon taste? If it weren't for the rapid fire point of view, just one shot could send you to the Sage of Six Paths."

Goju Yagura commanded Isofu to pursue the victory, striving to annihilate Nekomata here in one fell swoop.

"Rasengan!"

But before he could take action, he felt a cool air flash above his head. In desperation, Goji Yagura could only hold up the coral guard and rely on the hardness of the weapon to avoid the blow.

"Yellow flash, the Fifth Hokage..."

After a few ups and downs to create distance, Gotachibana Yagura showed a rare cautious look as he looked at Namikaze Minato who appeared on the battlefield.

Before coming, Ghost Light Crescent Moon warned him to be careful with Namikaze Minato's time and space ninjutsu, and not to give him the chance to plant the mark of the Flying Thunder God on his body.

So with a thought in Goju Yagura's mind, he immediately drew a circle with a coral stick and performed his secret technique.

"Water Release·Water Mirror Technique!"

Suddenly, a figure who looked the same as Namikaze Minato appeared from the rippled water mirror and became entangled with Namikaze Minato.

The battle on the ocean was in full swing, and strange sounds were heard in the sky.

The Kirigakure Village naturally did not forget the flying device obtained from the Kong Ninja Village. With the support of the "air and space aircraft carrier" called the Sky Fortress, hundreds of small black dots flew down from high altitudes, relying on the detonating talisman they carried with them. Explosive packs bombarded fleets on the ocean without restraint.

There was a team of flying ninjas, and from time to time there was long-range fire support from tailed beasts and chakra cannons. There were also fog ninjas on the seabed who were constantly drilling through ships and proficient in naval battles. Suddenly, a pair of fog ninjas appeared on the sea surface. The strange phenomenon of the coalition fighting.

"Huh? Why is it like this? Onoki and the masters of the four great ninja villages, except for Namikaze Minato and the two-tailed jinchūriki, none of them showed up?"

Goji Yagura did not feel excited at this time. On the contrary, he only felt deeply uneasy in his heart at this moment.

According to Gui Deng Xinyue's order, the actual purpose of his trip was actually a simple show of force, which mainly served the purpose of harassing and delaying.

As soon as they see a master from the opposite side appear, this unit will evacuate.

But the war has reached this point. Except for Namikaze Minato and Yukito, no senior members of the four major ninja villages have been seen. This is undoubtedly a very abnormal phenomenon.

etc!

"Namikaze Minato... time and space ninjutsu?"

Just when Goju Yagura noticed something, a ninja dog suddenly appeared next to Namikaze Minato.

Amidst the roar of the ninja dog, Namikaze Minato seemed to hear something. After looking at Gotachibana Yagura with a smile on his face, he clasped his hands together and disappeared in place with a time and space ninjutsu.

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain? No, it's to attack in the east and attack in the west!"

"The coalition deliberately set up such a huge fleet in such a high-profile manner, just to ask us to mobilize experts to fight a naval battle with them! But in fact, their elites are not here!"

So many masters, if not here, where else could they be?

Although he didn't know how they would cross the ocean, Goju Yagura felt an inexplicable chill in his back when he thought of so many masters escaping from the surveillance of Kirigakure.

Just when there was a cold feeling behind Goji Yagura, on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Water, on the ocean less than thirty kilometers away from the capital, an island covered with virgin forest was struggling with the efforts of a giant turtle. Forward.

Ohnoki, the Fourth Raikage, Rasa, Jiraiya and other top combat powers of the four major ninja villages all appeared here!
