Escape From Konoha

As the crimson clouds bloomed in the trap, the Bai Jue troops stationed here reacted immediately. Everything they had arranged before had become dust under the bombardment of the Alliance Army and was swept away.

Although they are depressed, the Bai Jue respond very quickly to adjust their mentality. They do not have as complex minds as humans. Even if they encounter no matter how dangerous the situation is, they can immediately calm down their inner restlessness, put aside all uneasiness and fear, and devote themselves wholeheartedly. to the battle.

They are born in nothingness, and after death they just return to that world of nothingness.

"Not only the Kingdom of Demons, it seems that even the Alliance Army has this kind of industrialized weapon of mass destruction. I remember it was a trump card that Kumogakure had secretly developed for many years. This war is really becoming less and less like a ninja battle."

Many Bai Zetsu were still in the mood to comment, as if they didn't know what death and fear were, and they laughed and commented on the ferocious firepower of the Alliance's chakra cannons in mocking words.

In the eyes of the White Zetsu, even if an attack of this level is not as good as the Tailed Beast Jade, its concentrated power cannot be underestimated.

At least clearing the obstacles and traps on the road in front of you is no problem at all.

"However, the shortcomings are also obvious. It cannot go deep underground. It looks very powerful, but it does not pose a great threat to us."

In addition to being surprised by the astonishing destructive power of the Chakra Cannon, Bai Jue also saw through the flaws of the light bullets fired by the Chakra Cannon at a glance. Although the explosive power is full and the explosion scene is very shocking, it is not strong enough to penetrate into the underground. , the depth that the light bomb can attack basically cannot continue to penetrate when it reaches twenty or thirty meters.

As long as Bai Zetsu moves slightly downward, he can basically ignore the threat of the chakra cannon.

In contrast, the ground-penetrating bombs specially developed by the Kingdom of Ghosts to target earth-bending ninjas are more deterrent.

The Bai Jue group uses an advanced secret technique called the Art of Mayfly. It can lodge in the earth's vegetation, move at high speed, and shield its own breath. However, even so, the technique has its limits, and it is impossible to go underground without limit. Go deep.

Because of this, the Kingdom of Ghosts was able to use ground-penetrating bombs to deal a devastating blow to the White Jue troops.

But among the White Zetsu, there are also those who can completely avoid the threat of the Demon Country's earth-penetrating bombs, and that is the special individuals among the White Zetsu. After a long period of training by the heretic demons, some White Zetsu began to mutate. They mastered more powerful ninjutsu than ordinary White Zetsu, and were equivalent to the Jonin class among ninjas. They dived into the depths of the earth, even in the Kingdom of Ghosts. Earth-penetrating bombs cannot reach it.

Unfortunately, these special individuals are, after all, a very small number of elites.

With the outbreak of the war, each of these special individuals has important tasks, and their numbers continue to be reduced every day, and they are also under great pressure.

"They're coming, everyone, get ready!"

A Bai Jue leader who was suspected of being a special individual noticed something and looked up at the sky.

A buzzing sound sounded, and black shadows passed over the heads of the White Jue people, like dexterous black swifts, which were the joint air force of the Alliance Army.

A highly mobile and high-firepower unit composed of ninjas from each ninja village who can control flying ninja tools.

According to inaccurate intelligence, the number of personnel in this joint air force force is as high as tens of thousands.

In order to attack Kusagakure this time, the Alliance Army also dropped this unit into the front line.

Although it is not all members, looking at this number, it is best to estimate that there are thousands of people.

However, Bai Zetsu, who popped up from the ground, was not worried. The Alliance's combined air force had already experienced the firepower at the beginning of the war. It was only superior to Akatsuki's air force in terms of firepower, and it did not make a substantial difference. difference.

With this level of firepower, even if the bombing is aimed at Kusagakure for a whole day, it may not be able to turn the entire Kusagakure upside down.

It might be possible if it was a chakra cannon with full firepower, but judging from the posture shown by the Alliance at this moment, they still want to protect the land of Kusakure Village as much as possible. The chakra cannon only swept through the trap area on the road. , stop transmitting.

There was no way to directly attack Bai Zetsu who was deep underground in Caoyin Village. Destroying Caoyin would not help. Secondly, I don't want to cause a gap within the Alliance Army because of this incident. The so-called preservation of Kusanagi is nothing more than a product of compromise.

Because it is a joint force of various countries, in many places, the Five Shadows, as the leaders, want the alliance forces to be twisted into a hemp rope, so they cannot be completely arbitrary and cause internal strife.

boom--

As the assault squadron of the Alliance Air Force Joint Force flew over Kusagakure at low altitude, the buildings and streets located at the northern entrance of Kusagakure were immediately detonated and destroyed.

In the blink of an eye, the ground at the entrance was dug up by the Alliance Air Force squadron. The roar and dust caused by the collapsed buildings also meant that the battle officially began at this moment.

The few Bai Jue who leaned out were not afraid of this explosive scene. They just started to move silently and concentrated their forces towards the northern entrance in a regular manner.

The road cleared by the chakra cannon in the trap area is a straight passage leading to the northern gate of Kusanagi. In other words, if the Alliance army wants to invade, they must concentrate their forces from the north and then rush in at one go.

The reason why the buildings and roads at the northern entrance were bombed was to detect unnecessary obstacles and make the battlefield more open.

After the bombardment by the air force squadron, the ground in the northern entrance area was indeed much smoother, and the field of vision became wider.

Footsteps——

The sound of galloping.

Although the voices were deliberately lowered, the White Zetsus used their keen senses to clearly hear the sound of the earth being shaken by the advance of the ninjas.

No one has been seen yet, but Bai Zetsu, who is concentrated at the northern entrance of Kusagakure, is beginning to lose his patience.

"let's go!"

Following the leader Bai Jue's order.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

Amidst the deafening shouts, thousands of White Zetsu gathered and began to march rapidly.

The sight of thousands of Bai Jue galloping caused the earth to shake and dust to fly like thousands of horses galloping.

The figures of ninjas from the Alliance Army soon came into view, wearing different ninja uniforms, but the forehead protectors with the word 'nin' on their foreheads represented their identities.

Fifty meters.

Thirty meters.

Ten meters.

The distance is getting shorter and shorter.

It seems like a long time, but crossing such a distance only happens in an instant.

The two armies formally came into contact and immediately started an extremely fierce fight.

The White Zetsu's fighting style was unstructured. The moment they came into contact with the Alliance troops, they charged directly into the enemy's territory and used brute force to disrupt the Alliance's formation.

Although they despised the White Zetsu's unorganized fighting style, the Alliance Army Jonin who charged in front did not dare to underestimate the combat capabilities of these White Zetsu.

What's more, Bai Zetsu, who was charging at the front, was also a special individual comparable to the Jonin level.

They quickly killed the Alliance ninjas blocking the road and successfully cut a hole in a squadron.

They formed seals at the same time, and the chakra gushing out from the body was highly consistent and began to merge.

Realizing that the ninjutsu used by these special White Zetsu might not be simple, the Alliance Army squadron leader noticed this scene and wanted to stop it.

However, it's still too late.

"Wooden Release: Wooden Man's Technique!"

A giant wooden man suddenly rose from the ground, setting off strong winds all around, knocking away all the nearby Alliance ninjas, as well as Bai Zetsu who accidentally approached.

The giant wooden man raised his head and roared, violent murderous aura bursting out from his body, and he waved his arms heavily under the stunned eyes of the Alliance Army.

boom!

The earth cracked and dust flew.

It directly caused riots in the Union Army.

They realized that fighting the White Jue troops might be very difficult, but they didn't expect that they still had such a trump card hidden in them, and they didn't use it until now.

The Shadow of the Famous Tree, as the first Hokage to calm down the troubled times, is still famous even today, and is sought after and yearned for by countless people.

"Just be obedient and become the nourishment of Mu Ren."

Several White Zetsus who controlled the wooden man stood on top of the wooden man, laughing loudly. In their eyes, it seemed that fighting was never something worth taking seriously, but should be as fun as a game.

The giant wooden man continued to wreak havoc, and each blow caused a strong air current to sweep across. The ground cracked and gravel flew everywhere, so that the nearby Alliance ninjas did not dare to step forward. They could only stare fiercely and dodge the wooden man's attacks. .

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

Several Konoha ninjas in the alliance army seized the gap and sprayed fire dragons at the wooden man in unison.

However--

With a wishful blow, Mu Ren just waved his hand and scattered several powerful fire dragons.

"A guy from the Sarutobi clan? Compared to the Uchiha clan's Fire Release, its stamina is a bit lacking."

"There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings. With this level of fire escape, at best it can only boil a bucket of boiling water and give us a hot bath."

"After leaving Uchiha, Konoha's Fire Release is really unsightly. It's still the Land of Fire. I don't know which side is orthodox."

The few Bai Jue on the giant wooden man's head were chatting away and laughing without formality.

"These bastards actually underestimate the Fire Release of our Sarutobi clan!"

Angry at Bai Zetsu's insulting discussion, the young-looking boy from the Sarutobi clan showed unwillingness and wanted to rush forward and kill Bai Zetsu at all costs.

The older jounin of the Sarutobi clan stopped him.

"Idiot, don't fall for the enemy's tricks. They are deliberately provoking."

Although the elder of the Sarutobi clan was also very angry, he was experienced and able to remain calm in the face of such insulting provocations.

The most important thing is, looking at the giant wooden man wreaking havoc everywhere, like entering a no-man's land, it is impossible not to calm down.

The guys who had lost their minds had all been slapped into pulp by Mu Ren.

However, the steps of the giant wooden man would not stop with the conversation. Under the joint control of several White Zetsus, it quickly took steps, as if running, tearing a huge mouth in the Alliance army with its body alone.

In an instant - dozens of Alliance ninjas were knocked away by the running giant wooden man, who jumped again.

boom!

Screams continued to sound, but the sound of explosions drowned out the screams of the Alliance ninjas, setting off strong winds and sweeping away the nearby Alliance troops like dust.

In just the first round of charge, Bai Jue gained a local battlefield advantage.

"That's it!"

The huge figure landed. After causing the earth to tremble, Akimichi Dingza, who had used the family's doubling technique to become larger, held a long stick in his hand and swung it hard at the giant wooden man.

The two of them weighed half a catty and half a tael, so there was no difference between them.

Thanks to the fact that the surrounding Alliance ninjas had dispersed, Akimichi Dingza dared to increase the doubling technique to the highest level so as not to hurt his own people.

The giant wooden man saw the shadow of the stick coming and stretched out his palm to catch the long stick.

Then he swung a heavy punch and hit Akimichi Choza in the chest.

Akimichi Tingza was also not to be outdone. He struck back with his free hand and collided with the wooden man's palm in mid-air.

Boom!

A dull sound erupted from between the fists.

The ground beneath his feet quickly cracked, extending in all directions.

"Damn fat man, Mu Ren's fists must be uncomfortable."

One of the White Zetsus controlling the wooden man continued to provoke.

"It's ridiculous. This level of Wood Release is far worse than the First Hokage."

As the current patriarch of the Akido clan, Ding Zuo also has a deep understanding of Mu Dun.

As far as he knew, the wooden man summoned by the first Hokage was even larger in size, and was followed by a wooden dragon that sucked chakra.

It is precisely because of the existence of the wooden dragon that it can have a suppressive effect on creatures that are beyond common sense like tailed beasts.

However, the wooden figures summoned by these Bai Jue not only shrank in size, but also failed to condense into wooden dragons.

At best, it can only take advantage of its large size to catch the Alliance army by surprise.

By the time the elites of the Alliance Army reacted, Mu Ren was only in trouble.

"Leave it to Mr. Dingza over there. I believe he can handle it. We are responsible for cleaning up the other White Zetsus. Don't even be able to break through the door!"

Darui, the commander of the first regiment, held a broad-backed ninja sword in his hand and led several squadrons behind him to charge.

"Leave it to me to clear the road."

Ye Cang, the captain of the third regiment, responded coldly, with a frightening cold light in his eyes.

"Burning Escape·Steam Kill!"

"ah!"

The red fireball was born in Ye Cang's hands.

Even Bai Zetsu couldn't bear the pain of being drained of water and dying of dryness, and he died in extreme pain.

Although Bai Jue has no blood, the source of life in their bodies is also related to water. Draining the water is no less than draining their life energy.

This is a secret that the Alliance Army has already discovered.

Seeing the fallen White Zetsu, with almost only skin and bones left, not to mention the enemy, even the Alliance Army's own people felt that Ye Cang's ninjutsu was too vicious.

Moreover, this kind of blood inheritance limit has a strong instantaneous nature.

"Being an enemy is scary, but fortunately we are one of our own."

Darui stuck the ninja sword in his hand on the ground with his hands on the ground.

"I'll be responsible for covering it!"

"Lan Dun Dun·Li Defeat Suo Yasu!"

Dozens of laser beams shot out, passing through the bodies of Bai Zetsu who wanted to attack Ye Cang from the side, knocking them down.

"Earth Release·Split the Earth and Turn the Palm!"

Huang Tu, who led the second regiment, also provided cover, cracking the ground under Bai Jue's feet, clearing the threats on the roads on both sides, and accurately avoiding the ground under Ye Cang's feet, showing his control.

The Union Army's offensive was very fierce.

Although the White Jue troops have always been at a disadvantage when the Alliance forces exerted their strength, their combat effectiveness is equally strong.

When ordinary people are injured, it will affect their combat effectiveness and their will to fight.

But Bai Jue.

Even if half of his head is missing, as long as he still has breath, he will continue to attack even if his brains are splattered.

If your hand is broken, use your foot.

When his legs are broken, he uses his body to climb and bites his enemies with his teeth.

No fear, no begging for mercy.

Such a scene, even if it is at a disadvantage, will cause great psychological pressure on the dominant party.

Not to mention, there are also self-destructing White Zetsus mixed in. Their existence is to give the Alliance Army some 'surprises' from time to time, so that the Alliance Army always retains a leeway while maintaining a ferocious offensive posture.

◎

When the Alliance Army and Akatsuki were fighting in Kusagakure, the Demon Country troops located in the Bird Country area were also not idle.

A combat meeting on how to deal with the special individual White Zetsu Transformation Technique was held internally.

As the commander-in-chief, Yiji also adopts a good-natured attitude and actively listens to the opinions of her subordinates. Before the cracking results at the headquarters come out, they can only rely on themselves to prevent these special White Zetsu attacks that are good at confusing fakes with real ones.

Even the special White Zetsu who can't distinguish between ninja and senjutsu, it is really difficult to encounter this kind of White Zetsu who has a cold knife in his back.

Maybe even some grassroots cadres on the front line will be replaced quietly.

In this way, information may be leaked, allowing Akatsuki to obtain the next battle plan of the Kingdom of Demons.

Therefore, while the headquarters is studying cracking technology, the Ghost Kingdom troops on the front line are also not idle. Some important areas, such as warehouses for storing supplies, have entered a state of high alert. There is also a restricted area within twenty meters of the area. If you want to enter, you must produce three warrants from Yi Ji and be personally accompanied by a member of the Thorn Team before you can enter.

Otherwise, they will be regarded as spies and violently suppressed.

The reason for doing this is to rule out the possibility of attacks on the material warehouse. At the same time, it is also concluded that the number of these fake special White Zetsus is extremely rare, but the personnel currently replaced are not high-level and have no access to the core decision-making of the frontline troops. intelligence.

Moreover, Yi Ji tightly blocked the entrance and exit of the fortress, allowing only the reconnaissance personnel of the air force to enter and exit, and all other patrol forces were transferred back. If you find a missing person, you can report it as soon as possible, and you can also eliminate the possibility of these Bai Jue escaping.

For this reason, Kazuhime also monitors the underground more closely to prevent Bai Zetsu from sneaking into the Demon Country's troops.

These White Zetsu are the top soldiers of Akatsuki, and their role on the battlefield is not low. It is a top priority to eliminate the White Zetsu from the army before the next round of attack.

Every ninja in the Kingdom of Demons is hard-won, and sacrificing one will make you feel sad for a long time. Ichiki doesn't want one of his subordinates to die in such an accident.

"If we only rely on the aerial reconnaissance team, I'm afraid the monitoring intensity will be somewhat insufficient."

Cai and several squadron leaders jointly found Yi Ji and explained the matter.

Especially the squadron leader Jonin in charge of the aerial reconnaissance team, this decision puts the greatest pressure on him.

This means that the tasks of the land patrol force will also be backlogged on his head.

"Don't worry, I have already found a candidate for the patrol on land."

Under everyone's confused gazes, a scroll fell from Yiji's sleeve. After falling to the ground, it spread out automatically.

The air in the room began to heat up, as if entering a steam room, and a hot breath hit his face.

A total of fifteen warriors whose whole bodies were burning with lava lined up in a line and stood in front of Ichiki in a "one" shape.

"This is……"

"This is a clone of Susanoo that I created based on Yin Yang Dun. It can share my vision. Its mobility is comparable to that of jonin who is proficient in taijutsu, and it can withstand sword strikes made of chakra metal without any damage. Cut. The combat effectiveness of each clone is estimated to be equivalent to a standard squadron of 100 people. The subsequent patrol work on land will be left to them."

"..."

Cai, who has long been aware of Yiji's methods, is used to it.

The other squadron leaders were shocked and smiled bitterly.

A standard hundred-man squadron usually has a jounin as the leader, and most of the remaining members are composed of chuunin.

If what Ichiki said is true, then the combined combat power of this group of Susanoo clones is equivalent to the strength of an elite force composed of thousands of ninjas and dozens of jounin.

And this was just fabricated by Yiji using secret techniques.

What kind of monster is this?

Fortunately, a 'monster' like this is one of our own. If it were an enemy, it would not be a matter of having a headache or not. Instead, we should rack our brains to think about how to survive from the opponent's hands.

In fact, it's simply impossible.

As for Yi Ji's power, it was only the tip of the iceberg. Now the exposed tip of the iceberg is also covered with layers of thick fog, making it even more blurry.

◎

"It is mixed with the ten-tails chakra, and it seems to be more activated than the ten-tails chakra I cultivated. It's just that the quantity is very rare, and collecting it is of little use."

A special Bai Zetsu individual with enhanced transformation skills. When the scattered pieces of meat were sent to the Kingdom of Ghosts and settled in the temporary headquarters of Bear China, they were dissected by Shiraishi.

Although it is difficult to distinguish the transformation techniques performed by ordinary Bai Zetsu, when the Kingdom of Demons was training sentient ninjas, special training was carried out on Bai Zetsu's transformation techniques. Therefore, ordinary Bai Zetsu wanted to blend into the Kingdom of Demons. In the military, it is basically impossible.

It will be noticed the first time and thus physically destroyed.

But this time the situation is different from before.

Using the ten-tailed chakra to specifically amplify Bai Zetsu's transformation technique, even the sensory ninjutsu became difficult to use.

Of course, this is not easy to do, just compared to other people. For a ninja like Shiraishi who has penetrated the essence of the soul, no matter how exquisite the transformation technique is, as long as the soul does not change along with it, no matter how fake it is, Shiraishi can instantly Distinguish between true and false.

However, this can only be treated as an example.

"Then do you want me to go there in person? Teacher Shiraishi."

Lin was touching the remaining pieces of Bai Jue's flesh. Although her penetration of the spiritual transformation technique was not as advanced as Bai Shi's, she could still clearly distinguish Bai Jue's special transformation technique.

"If you go to the front line at this time, you will only burn the fire on our heads."

Shiraishi frowned.

Although Nagato's eyes were currently focused on the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, if Lin showed up at this time, he couldn't guarantee that Nagato would suddenly change his target.

To be honest, even if all the high-end combat power of the Demon Kingdom is concentrated, Shiraishi is not sure to keep Nagato.

Because in addition to Nagato, there is also a ten-tailed body that has absorbed the power of the six-tailed beasts.

That thing is no less troublesome than Nagato.

"This tactic is just a consumable used by Nagato to test the secrets of the Kingdom of Demons. If it were the Ten-Tails' true form, it might leave me helpless, but what remains in these White Zetsu's bodies is only a trace of its activated investigation. Carat, it’s pretty simple to break it down.”

The pieces of Bai Jue's limbs and flesh in Bai Shi's hands suddenly turned into white crystal powder and floated away, just like weathered stones after years of baptism.

"It just so happens that Chi Zi has woken up. Let him go to the front line then. Unfortunately, it is not yet time to break with the Alliance Army. Otherwise, the speed of collecting nutrients will be faster."

Shiraishi's eyes moved slightly to the side. On a stool not far away, a boy in white clothes and white hair was sitting there sleeping soundly. He was holding a long-handled object wrapped in white cloth in his arms. His body seemed to feel insecure. As if he needed to curl up to protect himself, the bubbles coming out of his nostrils expanded and contracted with the sound of whirring.
