The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

"The art of wood escape from wood dragon!"

Just after the seal between the pillars was completed, a giant wooden dragon was seen rising from the tree boundary.

The nearly twenty-meter-long wooden dragon opened its huge mouth and faced the huge wind ball head-on.

"Kachichichi..."

The huge mouth of the wooden dragon actually directly held the violent wind ball in its mouth, trying to bite it into pieces.

The wind ball itself, which was densely covered with countless wind blades, could not withstand such a squeeze and directly shattered.

The wooden dragon was the first to bear the brunt, and its entire head was shattered by the blow. At the same time, the cracks spread backward along the dragon's body, and it stopped until the entire upper body was completely shattered.

Obviously, in this collision, the Wood Dragon Technique was suppressed.

But its purpose has been achieved.

The Thousand-Handed Ninja who had not been caught up in the wind ball at this time were all staring blankly at the scene in front of them.

"Why are you still standing there, retreat into the barrier quickly!"

Hashirama shouted violently.

The Senju Ninja who survived the disaster suddenly woke up from a dream and retreated towards the Uzumaki clan's barrier.

The barrier is right next to the battlefield, and now the Shimada clan cannot stop it even if they want to.

Zhongnian and Hanzo had no choice but to lead their clansmen to kill as many ninjas as possible that had not retreated into the barrier.

After a while, only the ninjas of the Shimada clan and the corpses of the Senju clan were left on the battlefield.

Seeing that Buddha and the others retreated into the Uzumaki clan's barrier, Zhongnian didn't have time to think about anything else. He directly combined the Shimada ninjas led by Hanzo with his own and began to attack the barrier.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Countless vacuum waves attack the Uzumaki clan's barrier one after another.

This time, Zhongnian had no plans to show mercy, and the Shimada ninjas attacked the Uzumaki clan's barrier with almost all their strength.

Unfortunately, neither the Uzumaki clan nor the Senju clan are easy to deal with.

While the two clans were fighting fiercely, Uzumaki Junichi hurriedly led people to repair the southwest and southeast barriers one after another.

After all, the two major barriers were only damaged due to excessive external force. There was nothing wrong with them and they only needed some minor repairs.

Taking advantage of the fierce battle between the two clans, Uzumaki Junichi successfully repaired the two major barriers.

This time, facing the Shimada clan's strong attack, the Uzumaki clan, supported by a large number of jounin from the Senju clan, became more confident.

No matter how many times the ninjas of the Shimada clan attacked, the plain white light shield only trembled slightly but did not move at all.

…

As time goes by, the sun has gradually set towards the horizon.

The bloody sunset made the entire battlefield look a bit weird.

Zhongnian looked solemn as he looked at the already exhausted tribesmen and the still strong barrier.

Finally, he gave the order: "Give me the order to stop attacking and set up camp to rest."

The day-long attack finally ended, and the tribesmen all took out the dry food they carried with them and began to make repairs on the spot.

Some ninjas, under the command of the elders, began to clean up the corpses on the battlefield to avoid the outbreak of disease.

"Clan Leader, Young Clan Leader, this time the family lost nearly a hundred ninjas, including 42 ninjas from the clan, 26 Hyuga ninjas and 30 ninjas from other affiliated ninja clans. There were no serious injuries and minor injuries were not counted.

"

The second elder is reporting today's losses to Chung Nian and Hanzo.

No serious casualties were expected. Before the emergence of medical ninjutsu and its spread, serious injury meant death on the battlefield.

"Where is the Thousand Hands Clan?"

Chongnian asked.

"According to the corpses counted by the family, there are a total of ninety-four dead ninjas. In addition, the bones of the ninjas who were suppressed and involved cannot be found, so it is impossible to calculate specifically, but it is estimated that the total loss is more than 200 ninjas."

Report from Erchanghui.

In fact, the second elder's estimate is quite conservative.

Because on the frontal battlefield, nearly nine hundred ninjas from the Senju clan were fighting within the tree realm.

Taking advantage of favorable circumstances is almost the instinct of a qualified ninja.

During the suppression attack, about four to five hundred people on the periphery withdrew from the tree boundary, and there were still more than four hundred people who had not had time to evacuate.

Unfortunately, Hashirama took the risk to use the Wood Dragon Technique before killing many people, and was able to save most of the clan members.

But even so, the number of ninjas who died in the oppression should be between one hundred and two hundred.

The second elder's estimate is indeed conservative enough.

After hearing about the losses of the two clans, Zhongnian fell silent.

Hanzo hesitated for a moment and persuaded: "Dad, the loss of the Senju clan is indeed not small, but it is far from the point of breaking the bones. At present, it is still far away to break the barrier of the Uzumaki clan. If the Uchiha clan suddenly attacks, we will

We will inevitably be in a dilemma and suffer heavy losses, so why not retreat now?"

If it hadn't been for Hashirama's unexpected Wood Dragon Technique, even if the Senju clan, which had lost more than half of its ninjas, joined forces with the Uchiha, the Shimada clan would have been able to fight.

But now...

Zhongnian remained silent, with the cold moonlight shining on his face. His eyes were cloudy and uncertain, and then he slowly said: "What about after retreating? Sooner or later, we will still have to face the coalition forces of the two races."

Hanzo was silent, then said: "Dad should understand what I mean."

"..."

Zhongnian remained silent. Of course he knew what Hanzo meant. From the beginning, Hanzo advocated that the Shimada clan move to the Kingdom of Water to avoid the limelight.

But he was really not willing to just run away in such a dejected manner.

In his hands, the Shimada clan transformed from a second-rate ninja clan into the strongest in the Land of Fire.

Zhongnian didn't say much, but he was very arrogant in his heart. He felt that whether it was Senju Buddhama or Uchiha Tajima, they were all far behind.

Shimada Shigeto is the truly leading figure of his generation.

Now, he was forced to flee another country by two mediocre people in his eyes. This contrast was hard for him to accept.

Hanzo looked at Zhongnian's unwilling expression and couldn't help but said: "Dad, isn't the family's inheritance more important than these? If this battle fails, you should know what the family will face."

"What will the family face..."

Chongnian stopped talking. He thought of the time when Hanzo was four years old, when his family was attacked by the ninja army of General Qingxi.

He then thought about the fate of Yu Yilan, an old rival with whom he had been fighting openly and secretly for more than ten years.

"Is this persistence really that important?"

Zhongnian asked himself silently.

Hanzo looked at the entangled Zhongnian and was helpless.

Just when he had given up and planned to take a good rest to prepare for tomorrow's battle, Zhongnian suddenly spoke: "Okay, Hanzo, what you said does make sense, if..."

He paused and then said: "If we still can't break the Uzumaki clan's turtle shell tomorrow, we will retreat."

Hanzo thought about it, and he actually felt that if the Uchiha clan would support them, they would probably arrive tomorrow.

But at the moment, it's good that Chongnian can figure it out. Hanzo didn't dare to push too hard, so he could only nodded, agreeing with Chongnian's statement.
