Chapter 145: Deep Behind Enemy Lines

The next day, when the sky was just beginning to lighten, Minato led everyone northwest, deep into the interior of the Land of Earth.

They endured the hardships of traveling on the road, eating and sleeping in the open air. Finally, after several days, they arrived near the supply lines.

Before them was an endless plain with a very wide field of vision that you could see to the end at a glance.

It was truly difficult to find a place to hide.

"We'll have to launch a direct attack."

Minato didn't expect that there wasn't even a small hill here. It seemed that the Iwagakure Ninjas didn't choose the supply lines randomly.

"We need to make a quick decision."

Fugaku expressed his opinion. If the time dragged on, the Iwagakure Ninjas might get other reinforcements.

After all, they were in the territory of the Land of Earth and had no backup.

Nawaki said he would keep an eye on it. Wait for his news. Nawaki quickly formed Hand Seal[b]Hand Seal[/b] and slowly sank into the ground.

"This move is really good."

After Nawaki completely disappeared, Minato walked over and stomped on the ground twice. The ground was very solid.

"Stomp your sister!"

Nawaki's voice came from underground, sounding a bit strange.

"I'm just testing if it's easy to expose."

Minato explained with an embarrassed smile and scratched his head. He really meant well.

"Get out of here quickly and wait for my signal."

Nawaki impatiently drove them away. With so many people around, it was easy to be exposed.

"Okay, then be careful."

"Fall back."

Minato led the way and left. Soon, it was as if no one had ever been there.

Only Nawaki remained vigilant underground, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Iwagakure supply troops.

To ensure enough physical strength, Nawaki put several Military Rations Pills[b]Military Rations Pills[/b] in his mouth.

...

Underground, there was no concept of the passage of time. Nawaki didn't know how much time had passed.

He regretted not dragging Minato down with him. At least there would be someone to accompany him.

It was really tough being alone now.

Finally, one day, Nawaki heard the heavy sound of wheels on the ground. It was most likely the Iwagakure Ninjas.

He was excited but didn't lose his composure. He planned to investigate first.

He quietly floated to the surface, showing half of his head.

Before he could take a good look, he was kicked on the forehead by someone.

"Ouch, what tripped me?"

An Iwagakure Ninja staggered and flew out.

"Enemy attack!"

The Iwagakure Ninjas behind him shouted. Nawaki's Forehead Protector[b]Forehead Protector[/b] had already exposed his identity, and no one knew if there were others underground.

Instantly, a large number of attacks rushed towards Nawaki.

The Iwagakure Ninjas surrounded him.

Seeing this, Nawaki knew it was bad. He immediately broke out of the ground, bit his finger, formed Hand Seal[b]Hand Seal[/b], and pressed his hand on the ground.

Bang!!

The exclusive formation for the summoning beasts spread on the ground, and a puff of smoke rose.

"Hiss～"

A huge black body straightened its upper body. A giant head spat out a snake's forked tongue, with a fierce glint in its snake pupils.

A huge snake appeared in front of the Iwagakure Ninjas.

The Kunai[b]Kunai[/b] and attacks aimed at Nawaki were blocked by the giant snake's sweeping tail.

Dust flew everywhere, and the surrounding Iwagakure Ninjas were swept away.

"Lord Nawaki."

This snake is quite polite. Maybe Orochimaru told it to be so.

"Black Snake, let's go!"

Nawaki didn't waste any words and pointed forward.

The Black Snake wriggled its body and moved forward rapidly, charging at the Iwagakure Ninjas ahead.

"What a huge snake!"

"Be careful!"

"Get out of the way quickly!"

The Iwagakure Ninjas were frightened by the giant snake in front of them. Now, seeing the charging Black Snake, they scattered and fled.

...

Taking this opportunity, Nawaki took out a signal flare and shot it into the sky. The red smoke lingered in the sky for a long time.

Looking at the Iwagakure Ninjas surrounding him again from behind, Nawaki stood on the snake's head, looking at them coldly.

Since you want to die, don't blame me.

He formed Hand Seal with both hands. A large amount of Chakra gathered in his mouth. Then he suddenly spat out a large amount of water at the surrounding Iwagakure Ninjas.

Water Release, Dam Repair Jutsu[b]Water Release, Dam Repair Jutsu[/b]

As the water spat out by Nawaki touched the ground, it directly set off huge waves one after another.

The Iwagakure Ninjas were directly caught in the waves and blown away. In the blink of an eye, a small oval - shaped lake appeared, confining a large number of Iwagakure Ninjas.

Soon, some Iwagakure Ninjas with insufficient strength floated up and were drowned alive.

Nawaki could now use large - scale Water Release jutsu even in a water - less environment.

"Not bad. No wonder he dared to attack us alone."

A leader - like Iwagakure Ninja didn't realize the seriousness of the situation yet. He thought Nawaki was just one person.

He's just a brash little kid with a bit of talent.

I'm leading so many people. We can wear him down even if it takes time.

"Break his Water Release jutsu."

Earth Release restrains Water Release. The Iwagakure leader glanced at Nawaki on the snake's head. Konoha really has a lot of talented people.

Earth Release, Earth Flow City Wall[b]Earth Release, Earth Flow City Wall[/b]

The Iwagakure Ninjas channeled the Chakra in their hands into the land and used the Dragon Veins flowing in it to make the land rise.

The lake was instantly divided into several sections and lost its integrity, flowing everywhere.

The Iwagakure Ninjas in it were also rescued. They lay on the ground, spitting out water desperately. For the moment, they had no fighting power.

By now, the Black Snake had rushed into the Iwagakure Ninja camp. It opened its huge mouth and directly swallowed the Iwagakure Ninjas.

In this regard, it was no different from Manda.

Nawaki used the Weighted Rock Jutsu[b]Weighted Rock Jutsu[/b] on the Black Snake. Although its speed decreased, its lethality was greatly improved.

Whether it rammed or swept, the Iwagakure Ninjas were either killed or injured under the Black Snake's attacks.

"Surround him!"

The Iwagakure leader was a bit anxious now. He didn't expect this snake to have such great power.

Earth Release, Earthquake Core[b]Earth Release, Earthquake Core[/b]

Several Iwagakure Ninjas rushed over and surrounded the Black Snake from all directions. After forming Hand Seal, they slapped the ground with both hands.

The land around the Black Snake suddenly rose, trapping it in the middle.

"Roar~"

The Black Snake was furious and rammed the wall with its body crazily. But it was beyond its power to break it.

"Quiet. They can't trap us with such tricks."

Nawaki comforted the Black Snake first. Although standing on its head, he couldn't see the outside situation, and boulders were falling on top of them.

But there was no trace of panic on his face. Earth Release was also his forte.

Trying to restrain him? No way!!

Earth Release, Earth Flow Wave[b]Earth Release, Earth Flow Wave[/b]

As Nawaki formed the Hand Seal[b]Hand Seal[/b], a river composed of boulders emerged from the ground beneath the Black Snake[b]Black Snake[/b], pushing Nawaki and others out of the deep pit.

Nawaki chopped up the boulders above their heads piece by piece.

"Here we come, Brother Nawaki."

Once they were out, they saw Minato suddenly appear beside them.

"Take them down."

Nawaki looked at the Konoha Ninjas[b]Konoha Ninjas[/b] approaching in the distance, with Fugaku leading the way.

Fugaku had already revealed his Three - tomoe Sharingan[b]Three - tomoe Sharingan[/b].

"Summoning Jutsu[b]Summoning Jutsu[/b]."

After a cloud of smoke, a huge Katsuyu[b]Katsuyu[/b] appeared beside the giant snake.

They were about the same size. This was just a relatively small clone.

"Katsuyu Sage, please help us."

Minato jumped from the giant snake's head to the head of Katsuyu Sage[b]Katsuyu Sage[/b], and he and Nawaki rushed towards the Iwagakure Ninjas[b]Iwagakure Ninjas[/b].

Katsuyu Sage[b]Katsuyu Sage[/b] didn't utter a word. Maybe she wasn't very familiar with Minato.

After all, it was completely an accident that Minato signed a contract with her.

She glanced at the battle situation and spat out corrosive liquid.

The parts of the Iwagakure Ninjas[b]Iwagakure Ninjas[/b] that were sprayed with the liquid began to dissolve, and their screams filled the air.
