Chapter 134( First confrontation( Clash of the stone and the cloud& sand army)

( Stone War headquarters)

It's been a day since Ren and his army had already reached the point they wanted to have their headquarters.

They were still in the land of earth close to the border as the opposing army was based in the land of wind near the border.

The coming war would take place in the small villages near both borders.

Since the headquarters were already set up, Ren had left and gotten closer to the land of wind and used the space release to scout the enemy headquarters.

He didn't know where it was, but knowing it was close to the border was enough with the range of Ren's ninjutsu.

And as he did, he found something he didn't expect, the headquarters didn't have as many shinobi as Ren expected, currently, only five thousand were present, compared to the expected nine.

Ren had made sure it wasn't some kind of trap as he continued to expand his range, trying to find any shinobi that were hiding, and he found nothing.

With this information, Ren returned to the stone headquarters, and with this information, he acted quickly and rallied the three thousand stone shinobi to act quickly.

' The remaining shinobi should be on the way here, it made sense that all the cloud shinobi wouldn't be here as the distance was quite far, it made more sense for them to move in groups, so it would seem a part of the army was sent ahead as the others were running behind.' Thinks Ren.

Coming to this conclusion Ren Quickly leads the army forward at full force, not caring if the enemy was able to sense them coming as they wouldn't be able to fully respond in time even if they did.

(Hidden sand base)

As Ren expected his advance was noticed and even though they were surprised they began organizing as quickly and as best they could.

( With Ren)

It didn't take long for them to reach the base which was surrounded by what looked like mud walls, no doubt built in a rush by the shinobi station here after finding the enemy rushing towards them.

On the walls were shinobi looking at the approaching army.

Ren quickly made some seals.

" Fire release; Majestic destroyer flame"

A sea of flames poured out of Ren's mouth as it quickly spread forward, heading to the walls, the shinobi present responded quickly with those who were able to use various water release to stop the attack.

BOOM!!!

But it wasn't enough.

Some of the flames were stopped, but most of it engulfed the walls and the shinobi on the walls, destroying them and killing the shinobi who were caught in it.

A cloud of smoke covered the area, as the stone shinobi continued to rush forward, entering the base through the path made by Ren's attack.

AHHHH!!!!

AHHHH!!!!

Screams filled the immediate area as the stone shinobi killed any enemy shinobi they could find, Ren stood looking at the fighting keeping track of the movements in the base getting ready to order a retreat when he saw the enemy was getting ready to counterattack.

So Ren kept track of everything as he did the dust cleared and revealed the surrounding.

Dead bodies and blood littered the ground. The ground was now dyed red as it soaked up the blood.

Ren could see Stone Shinobi bodies, but mostly sand and cloud shinobi of all age groups were dead on the ground, from children to adults the stone shinobi showed no mercy.

But Ren could sense that the shinobi were gathering and getting organized, ready to launch a counterattack. Seeing this, Ren quickly acted.

Ren took out a flare and quickly threw it in the air as it exploded into a red light.

As the stone shinobi saw the flare, they began to fall back while getting rid of the enemies they were currently entangled with.

As the stone shinobi retreated, the sand and cloud shinobi didn't give chase as they continued to fall back and gather together.

The stone shinobi quickly retreated without any enemies following them as they returned to their base.

( Sand and cloud base)

" Sir, the stone shinobi have completely retreated. Are you sure we shouldn't give chase?" a cloud shinobi asked the commander of the base.

" Mhm, there is no need, we will attack soon, we will wait for the signal, remember the second army is on a mission, get the shinobi ready to attack for noon tomorrow."

" The second army should be in place by then."

( Stone base)

Ren was currently sitting completely confused as to what was happening.

He had expected the enemy to follow them at least for a while, to the border at least.

" Something isn't right." Ren said as he started thinking of what could be the problem.

Minutes passed, and slowly, a plan formed in Ren's mind, and as it did, his eyes slowly widened as he stood up and disappeared from the base.
