Chapter 146 Mission Completed

"What kind of monsters are these?"

The Iwagakure leader exclaimed. Two such large Summoning Beasts appeared at once.

What a plight! Is there no way out for us?

"Sir, what should we do?"

At this time, some Iwagakure Ninjas had the idea of retreating.

This Konoha team was incredibly strong.

Putting aside these two kids, the Uchiha and Hyuga clans were here. They were two well - known Kekkei Genkai families in Konoha.

"What do you mean what to do?"

"What do you want to do?"

"We'll die here if we have to."

The Iwagakure leader sternly questioned. He never thought about running away from the start.

He dared not imagine what would happen if he returned without the supplies.

To put it frankly, it would lead to the failure of the strategic deployment of the Land of Earth because of him.

He could at least be a martyr if he died in battle. It would be meaningless to live with this guilt.

"Yes, sir."

The subordinate Iwagakure Ninja lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and could only follow the leader to charge.

"Fire Release, Great Fire Annihilation[b]Fire Release, Great Fire Annihilation[/b]."

Fugaku rushed not far from the Iwagakure Ninjas. After making Hand Seals, he gathered Chakra in his throat and spat out a large area of flames like the sea towards the front.

Of course, the range and power of his technique were far inferior to Madara's. It only burned dozens of Iwagakure Ninjas in front of him alive.

However, a Ninjutsu of this power was already intimidating. Fugaku's strength had also improved very quickly.

The Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan in close - range fighting also gave the Iwagakure Ninjas a hard time.

Once their acupuncture points were blocked, they became ordinary people at the mercy of others.

Led by Minato and the other two, the Iwagakure Ninjas were soon defeated.

The Iwagakure leader was at least a bit capable. He dodged the attack of the Black Snake and the Tongue Tooth Sticky Acid[b]Tongue Tooth Sticky Acid[/b] of the Katsuyu Sage.

Looking at the two huge creatures charging towards him, he was ready to sacrifice himself.

"Earth Release, Earth Shattering Palm[b]Earth Release, Earth Shattering Palm[/b]."

After making Hand Seals, he gathered Chakra in his palm, roared, bowed down, and slammed his hand hard on the ground.

"Crash～"

The ground shook violently. Starting from in front of him, the land cracked open with huge gaps that spread forward at an extremely fast speed.

In a short while, the Katsuyu Sage and the Black Snake were covered within the range.

By chance, both the Black Snake and the Katsuyu Sage fell down.

It was only because of their large size that they didn't end up like Obito in the original plot, buried by boulders.

"Quick, retreat."

Minato exclaimed. He didn't expect the range of this jutsu to be so wide, and the Konoha Ninjas behind him were also affected.

Without thinking, he jumped down from the head of the Katsuyu Sage and rushed towards the Iwagakure leader with a sharp blade in his hand.

"Water Release, Water Blade Slash[b]Water Release, Water Blade Slash[/b]."

Nawaki arrived first. With the Light and Heavy Rock Jutsu[b]Light and Heavy Rock Jutsu[/b] applied, he was even a bit faster than Minato.

The sword blade wrapped in water waves stabbed straight down at the Iwagakure leader from above.

"Earth Release, Earth Flow Wall[b]Earth Release, Earth Flow Wall[/b]."

The Iwagakure leader didn't have time to dodge, and a tall and thick earthen wall rose in front of him.

Boom!!

Nawaki stabbed down with his sword, and the water waves exploded on the earthen wall.

The earthen wall shattered instantly. Attribute restraint was not so effective in the face of absolute power.

Nawaki, who had run out of steam, landed not far in front of the Iwagakure leader.

Minato also approached. A cold glint flashed, and his sword pierced through the chest of the Iwagakure ninja leader.

The terror in the leader's eyes was obvious. He stared with wide - open eyes and slowly fell backward.

He never thought that his Earth Release[b]Earth Release[/b] would be broken by Water Release[b]Water Release[/b].

"Isn't my move pretty good?"

Nawaki was a bit carried away. Breaking Earth Release[b]Earth Release[/b] with Water Release[b]Water Release[/b] would make him look good anywhere.

"Amazing, amazing."

Minato played along, but his words were a bit perfunctory.

The two didn't stop and continued to fight their way into the group of Iwagakure ninjas.

"The lord is dead. Let's run away."

Witnessing the sacrifice of their leader, the mental state of the Iwagakure ninjas was on the verge of collapse.

They had absolutely no morale left.

What followed was a one - sided massacre.

The entire battle was over in less than ten minutes.

All the supplies were burned, and not a single Iwagakure ninja was left alive.

As Minato and the others retreated, only the mess after the battle, as well as the bodies and blood, remained at the scene.

With this great victory, as long as they returned to the camp safely, the mission would be successfully completed.

Minato led the others without a moment's delay and rushed directly towards the Land of Grass.

After the mission was completed, they were even a bit careless about hiding their figures. Now they needed speed rather than stealth.

It took them half the time it took on the way there, and they entered the territory of the Land of Grass.

At this time, ōnoki also received the news that the supplies had been destroyed in the Land of Rain.

"What?"

"All dead?"

"What the hell are you guys good for?"

"Have you been sleeping while watching the Konoha camp every day?"

In a hidden underground cave, ōnoki was in a furious rage.

He didn't expect the Konoha ninjas to be so bold. They bypassed the Iwagakure spies and penetrated deep into the territory of the Land of Earth.

Although there were no eyewitnesses, he didn't need to think to guess that it was Konoha who did it.

Moreover, Konoha - style weapons were found on the battlefield.

"The Third Lord, it's meaningless to talk about this now."

"Our supplies are being consumed quickly and won't last for a few days."

"Now there's a civil war in the Land of Rain. Even if we try to seize, we won't get much."

The intelligence chief dared to offer his advice boldly, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

ōnoki, who had been injured in a fight with Kawaki a few days ago, had a very bad temper.

"Then retreat. What's the point of fighting?"

ōnoki wasn't blinded by anger. It's unwise to keep expending resources against Konoha without supplies.

He could only return to the Land of Earth for rest and recuperation and wait for the next batch of supplies.

He decided to send a large number of troops to guard the next batch of supplies.

Rōshi had also recovered quite a bit.

"Then, shall we recall the troops?"

The intelligence chief wasn't sure if ōnoki was just speaking in anger.

"Go ahead. Don't bother me."

ōnoki had now calmed down and regained his composure. He waved his hand to let his subordinate leave.

Originally, the encroachment plan had been going smoothly. Now, who knew what other variables would arise.

ōnoki just wanted some peace at this moment.

As the Iwagakure troops evacuated, the Sand ninjas also felt that something was off.

They faced more and more Konoha troops, and the battles became more frequent.

Their casualties were also rising sharply. Only then did they realize that something must have gone wrong on the Iwagakure side.

"Are you saying that the Iwagakure Ninjas might have withdrawn?"

At the border camp of the Land of Wind, Pakura was discussing with the intelligence chief.

Her face still showed a look of disbelief.

It's just hard on Bunpuku during this smooth - going period.

He has to go out and get beaten up every now and then. Shukaku has endured all the beatings it should endure in its life.

"Yes, although there's no specific intelligence yet, no trace of Iwagakure forces has been found in the Land of Rain."

"That's bad then."

Pakura instantly realized that trouble was coming. She put her right hand on her temple.

"Let's withdraw too and get ready to face Konoha's attack."

"Konoha also needs time to recover if we stop now. They've suffered the most losses during this period."

The intelligence chief analyzed the situation very clearly.

"That's the only way. Go and make the arrangements."

Pakura sighed, worrying about the future of Sunagakure.

If her death could end the war, she'd be willing to off herself right now.
