87. Battle!!!
"What did you say?"
As one of the five most powerful figures in the ninja world, the Kazekage Rasa had lost count of how many times he had reacted like this.
But it really wasn't his fault.
The latest battle report that had just been delivered to him showed that, whether in the Land of Rivers or on the Rain Country front, Konoha's forces were advancing like a hot knife through butter.
The once-promising situation for Sunagakure had completely collapsed in just a few days after Danzō's arrival.
Even Chiyo's proud poison had become utterly useless in the face of Tsunade's antidote.
With Kirigakure opening a new front in the southern part of the Land of Wind, Sunagakure was now in a dire situation.
"Rasa, we can't hesitate any longer."
At such a critical moment, even Chiyo couldn't bother with formalities and addressed the Kazekage by his name.
Rasa, the Kazekage, had a grim expression, his eyebrows tightly knitted together.
Shortly after, a messenger ninja delivered another piece of news.
"[Yellow Flash] Namikaze Minato has appeared in the Land of Wind, destroying several supply units and potentially posing a significant threat to Sunagakure!"
Rasa was completely stunned when he saw this news.
Not only were they being pushed back on the front lines, but now their home was being threatened?
What's worse, with the Yellow Flash's mobility, Sunagakure couldn't even hope to catch him, let alone touch him. They were completely at his mercy.
"That damn Danzō!"
Rasa poured all his anger onto the "Darkness of the Shinobi" on the opposing side.
After all, such a cunning strategy could only have been devised by that despicable Danzō.
Chiyo also saw the report.
Her face was as dark as water: "Make a decision, Rasa."
Rasa narrowed his eyes. Although he was reluctant to give up the hard-earned advantages on the front lines, faced with such internal and external crises, he had no choice but to compromise.
"Fine, retreat!"
He finally issued the order to withdraw.
Chiyo, as an elder, had already made preparations.
Upon receiving the news, she immediately began making final arrangements to ensure the troops could retreat as quickly as possible.
But just as she was about to leave the meeting room, a series of explosions suddenly erupted in the town occupied by Sunagakure.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Explosions rang out one after another, turning into bursts of fire that engulfed the Sunagakure ninja in the town.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Outside, panicked shouts from Sunagakure ninja could be heard.
Rasa and Chiyo rushed outside without hesitation.
In the sky, Danzō's back sprouted a pair of massive paper wings.
In his hands, the [Explosive Sword: Shibuki], resembling a scroll, continuously released explosive tags, raining down indiscriminate bombardment on the ground!
With his rare flight ability in the ninja world, Danzō had no fear of being attacked.
After all, the range of Sunagakure's attacks couldn't possibly reach him—except for Rasa, the Kazekage.
"That damn Danzō, you're still alive!"
Rasa cursed, then raised his hands.
The ground trembled violently, and large amounts of gold dust surged out from the cracks in the earth, forming a massive protective umbrella in the air above the town, firmly blocking Danzō's attacks.
Danzō watched this scene and felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
After thinking for a long time, he remembered—wasn't this the same move Gaara used when Deidara attacked Sunagakure to capture the One-Tail in the original story?
Damn, I've become the artist!
Of course, jokes aside.
To prevent Sunagakure's forces from retreating easily, Danzō had prepared more than just this.
After the first wave of bombardment, a large number of Konoha ninja appeared on the outskirts of the town occupied by Sunagakure.
The first to attack was Mei Terumī from Kirigakure.
In order to rescue as many prisoners as possible, she had been working extremely hard lately.
Anyone who didn't know better might think she was the true inheritor of the Will of Fire.
"Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique!"
A sticky, acidic liquid shot out from Mei Terumī's lips like an arrow, quickly landing on the outer wall of the town.
Its terrifying acidity melted a large section of the wall in just a few seconds, creating a massive breach.
As the Sunagakure ninja nearby tried to seal the breach, Mei Terumī launched another fierce attack without hesitation.
"Boil Release: Skilling Mist Technique!"
A thick mist rapidly swept in from outside the town.
Several Sunagakure ninja who tried to block the breach were instantly enveloped.
Then, blood-curdling screams erupted from within the mist.
The shadowy figures in the mist visibly dissolved before everyone's eyes, eventually turning into pools of blood!
"What kind of demon is this?"
Such a horrifying method of death severely demoralized the Sunagakure forces.
Moreover, due to the corrosive nature of the acidic mist, the breach in the wall continued to widen.
Seizing the opportunity, Mei Terumī appeared on top of the wall in an instant.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
A massive water dragon emerged.
With a fierce roar, the enormous dragon swept across the wall, taking out over a dozen Sunagakure ninja in one go!
However, Sunagakure wasn't to be underestimated.
After realizing their wall had been breached, a large number of puppets came clattering toward Mei Terumī.
Unfortunately for them, with her Boil Release, Mei Terumī had no fear of puppet masters.
"Boil Release: Skilling Mist Technique!"
The terrifying acidic mist spewed from her mouth once again.
The puppets, which would have been a nightmare for ordinary ninja, were instantly corroded and melted.
All their intricate mechanisms were rendered useless!
She was the ultimate counter to puppets!
Mei Terumī single-handedly carved a hole in Sunagakure's defenses!
After finishing her assault, Mei Terumī lazily wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand and murmured, "Number 89."
This meant that in the battle against Sunagakure, she had taken 89 lives.
Enough to exchange for 44.5 Kirigakure prisoners from Danzō.
But to be honest, Mei Terumī's impact on the battlefield was far greater than just 89 kills.
For example, right now, her outstanding performance had clearly demoralized Sunagakure and tied down a significant portion of their forces.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, countless Konoha ninja channeled chakra to their feet, running up the walls as if they were flat ground, engaging Sunagakure in close combat.
It's worth noting that each of these Konoha ninja had a blue-and-white slug on their back.
This was Tsunade's summon—the Great Slug Sage from the Shikkotsu Forest!
Whenever these Konoha ninja were injured in battle, the slugs would immediately use medical ninjutsu to heal them.
Severely injured ninja could be saved, while those with minor injuries could quickly rejoin the fight.
This terrifying support ability instantly boosted Konoha's morale, and they fought like madmen, trading injuries for injuries with the enemy!
