Chapter 130 - 4th Great Ninja War Part 1

The Surprise Attack Division led by Kankuro is flying on top of the Ink Bird made by Sai's Chōjū Giga (Super Beast Imitating Drawing) to reach the ambush point, the biggest forest in Land of Hot Water, the most notable members of this division are Omoi from Kumo, Kankuro from Suna, Sai from Konoha, and the external help from the Baransa group Haku and Yakumo.

As Kankuro was explaining to everyone the Alliance's plan for them, he noticed that Omoi was distracted so he yelled "Omoi! Hey! Omoi, are you listening? We are going to land... We are right above the enemy Territory, quit spacing out!" fidgeting Omoi asks "... Um... Can I ask you something?" and Kankuro gave his consent "You are about my age... This is... Your first war right?" and Kankuro "Yeah...".

Then Omoi ask "Aren't you... worried? The success or failure of our ambush will determine the course of the war... Including the number of casualities..." and Kankuro says "Just concentrate on succeeding! If you want to protect your family and friends, that is!" and Yamuko, who is near, adds "And you aren't alone...Even if you make a mistake we will cover your back!" and Haku continues "And we are all fighting to protect what is important for us, so we all will be giving our all".

Soon they all land and Kankuro starts giving his orders "We're already within enemy territory, let's set up a small base here, then we can plan our ambush and time bombs from here! There will be an entrance and exit 10 meters apart at 2 and 6 o'clock! Omoi, I want you to plant explosion tags around the rest of the perimeter, Sai you keep watch from the sky! Ittan, you use Doton to dig a trench..." and so he kept giving to everyone then he turns to Yakumo and Haku "You two will help me strategize... we know about the White Zetsu abilities thanks to Kabuto's research, and we also have the gas bomb to counter its camouflage abilities... but how can we prepare if they have those Masked Beasts... the Hollow, too on their sides?"

Then Haku and Yakumo tell Kankuro their experience with the Hollow and what Ren told them about how to distinguish their various level, meanwhile, in another location, Gaara Long Range Division and Darui with his Mid Range Division chose to separate to cover all the border of the Land of Lightning, while at the same time the Daimyo of the countries that are about to become a battlefield are evacuating most going in the direction of Konoha that is away from the fighting.

Back to the Surprise Attack Division, all the traps are ready, and all they had to do now is wait for the enemy to come, when all of the sudden one of the sensors yelled "It's Jamming no Jutsu... Something is coming!" and Kankuro asks "The enemy?" but then running from the bush is a wounded young man with long brown hair and sunglasses covering his eyes, the sensor recognizes him and yells "He is Aburame Muta from the Intelligence Division!!".

Muta saw them and yelled "Those monsters are coming! Huge numbers!" then from the distance an iconic anguished roar was heard, and the faces of Haku and Yakumo that were familiar with it turned grave and yelled "It's the Hollow!" and then Yakumo took out her painting bush and a small painter's palette, and started drawing while Haku yelled to get ready for the Genjutsu, at the same time Sai came back from the sky and said, "Hundreds of those strange Masked Beast are coming and further behind them there is one huge one!!".

Kankuro who remember the info given then yelled "It's is probably a Gillian be careful of the Bijuudama-like technique!!" and at the same time Muta reached them, and soon after the swarm of hollows came out too, and soon reached the traps, causing many tags to explode at the same time, but the said explosions were only able to delay and slightly wound the Hollows that once again rushed toward Kankuro's group and so the fierce fight started.

Haku then does a series oh hand seals and uses Makyō Hyōshō(Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals) that creates several large mirrors out of ice all around them, then he walks inside one of the mirrors and quickly jumping from mirror to mirror he starts killing one Hollow after another while yelling at the same time "The Mask is their weak point, If you destroy the Mask you kill them!!".

Omoi who just cut the arm of a Hollow noticed the fact that after a few seconds the arm once again started regrowing and then he heard Haku's yell and once again swung his sword this time aiming at the head "Kumoryu: Mikazugiri (Cloud Style: Crescent Moon Slice)!" and this time he was able to kill the Hollow bu he didn't have the time to rejoice that he was once again attacked by another two, so evaded their blows and counterattacked.

Kankuro seeing the situation decided to stop holding back and took out a scroll and from it summoned the Sasori Puppet and joining forces with his other two puppets he started restraining, killing, and at the same time supporting his squad, while Sai using his Chōjū Giga made many different ink beast that attacked the various Hollows.

Then after some time Yakumo finished her painting and yelled "It's done!!" then she released her massive scale Genjutsu, and the Surprise Division members that were ready for it yelled at the same time "Kai (Release)!", while all of the sudden the Hollow started attacking and killing each other while totally ignoring the ninja, who took advantage of this to kill them unseen.

But just as the fight was going in a good direction, a louder Hollow's scream was heard, and the next instant a red blast came from above the trees and hit the most congested zone of the battlefield obliterating everyone in it, Hollow and Ninja alike, them the heavy footstep of Gillian caused the earth to slightly quakes, and soon his humongous figure can be seen towering over everyone, and Kankuro commented "Shit! That thing is big... it isn't Bijuu's size but it is still a big one!!".

And soon the Gillian started charging another Cero and Omoi, who wanted to stop it, attacks him using once again Kumoryu: Mikazugiri, but his katana was unable to wound it, in fact, he was forced to retreat as his sword was about to break against the opponent skin, and just as it was about to release the Cero, Haku's voice was heard "Hyōton: Hyōten Hyakkasō (Ice Release: Frozen Heaven Hundred Flower Funeral)" a huge hole opens up in the clouds, a large amount of snow falls down onto the Gillian, and as the snow comes into contact with its body, ice flowers sprout all over it, instantly trapping him in a pillar of ice, then Kankuro attacked with all three of his puppet at the same time breaking the ice pillar in many small pieces.

Soon after the remaining hollows were taken out, and Kankuro surveyed the damage done to his unit and the total number of losses, sighed then he said "Already this much death... And this is only the start...".
