Naruto World Through Tenseigan - Chapter 61
At this moment, Kakashi spoke up with another piece of news: “The Iwagakure main forces have already gathered at the border of the Land of Grass, so we must quickly end the conflict with Kumogakure. Otherwise, if Iwagakure senses an opportunity, they might intervene at any moment.”
Conflicts between the five great shinobi villages were never isolated.
When Kumogakure launched a surprise attack on Konohagakure, Iwagakure, upon receiving the news, would naturally respond accordingly.
Perhaps as the news spread further, Sunagakure and Kirigakure would also react, but these were not issues Team 11 needed to worry about right now.
With a serious expression, Shisui asked, “So our mission is crucial to the village’s safety?”
Kakashi nodded, “If we fail, the village could be plunged into a highly disadvantageous situation, and the horrors of the Third Great Ninja War would repeat.”
Gai showed no fear or despair, saying, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!”
As Kakashi packed up the map, he calmly stated, “The final assault will be carried out by me. You three just need to cover me.”
On the battlefield within the Land of Fire.
In his partially transformed state, Killer Bee effortlessly blocked the expanded Choza Akimichi, sweeping him aside with a single swipe of his eight tails.
Killer Bee then taunted in his unique rap style, “Yo yo, why did Konoha only send you guys?”
On the opposite side, Shikaku Nara and Inoichi Yamanaka looked helpless.
In their eyes, Killer Bee, who perfectly synchronized with the Eight-Tails, was an absolute monster. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio barely managed to hold him off.
Glancing at the situation on the other battlefronts, where Konoha was also at a disadvantage, Shikaku couldn’t help but mutter anxiously, “When will Jiraiya-sama arrive? A monster like this is not something ordinary ninja can handle.”
Not far away.
Hinata Hizashi, panting heavily, stared intently at a black-haired Kumogakure ninja before him.
This opponent was none other than the deputy commander of the Kumogakure invasion force, the Storm Release ninja, Aida.
Before Hizashi arrived, two Konoha squads had already perished at Aida’s hands. If not for Hizashi’s intervention, the nearby Konoha ninjas would have met the same fate.
Aida sneered, “You’re not my match!”
Hizashi didn’t retort but silently contemplated his next move.
Storm Release, a combination of Lightning and Water Release, had both the destructive power of Lightning Release and the versatility of Water Release. Coupled with Aida’s experience as an elite Jonin, his Storm Release was extremely versatile and countered taijutsu specialists like Hizashi effectively.
Seeing the faintly visible Caged Bird seal on Hizashi’s forehead, Aida smirked, “Too bad you’re from the branch family; otherwise, I could collect a pair of Byakugan.”
Hizashi’s face darkened as he adjusted his forehead protector to cover the Caged Bird seal completely.
Aida’s words had unintentionally touched a deep-seated pain in Hizashi’s heart.
In another part of the battlefield.
The fully transformed Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito Nii, was nearly unstoppable. The entire battlefield had become her stage for unrestrained chakra outbursts.
Eight Konoha ninjas simultaneously shouted, “Earth Release: Earth Prison Dome!”
Massive walls of earth rose from all directions and closed in, attempting to trap the Two-Tails Yugito in an earth prison.
Roar…
Before the surrounding Konoha ninjas could relax, Yugito, in her Tailed Beast state, easily broke through the Earth Prison Dome, swiping at the Konoha ninjas with a paw.
With one swipe, six or seven Konoha ninjas were killed instantly, and the survivors were all wounded.
“Water Release: Water Severing Wave!”
“Earth Release: Earth Spear!”
“Lightning Release: Lightning Tiger Missile!”
The remaining Konoha ninjas, not daring to conserve their chakra, unleashed a series of jutsu.
Boom…
Countless jutsu struck Yugito in her Tailed Beast state, but none managed to injure her.
Yugito then opened her mouth and spewed out several massive fireballs, incinerating the surrounding forest and engulfing the Konoha ninjas in flames.
Cough, cough…
A heavily injured Konoha ninja, coughing up blood, muttered resentfully, “If the Fourth Hokage and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki were still here, you guys…”
Before he could finish, Yugito crushed him under her paw and sneered, “Too bad they’re already dead!”
The departure of Tsunade, the defection of Orochimaru, and the deaths of the Fourth Hokage and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had finally taken their toll, erupting in full force within the Land of Fire.
Against Kumogakure’s two perfect Jinchuriki, Konoha was showing unprecedented weakness and powerlessness.
Meanwhile, with Team 11.
After several days of trekking, the four finally crossed the Land of Hot Water and entered the Land of Moon.
Bordering the Land of Lightning, the Land of Moon served as a crucial buffer between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning. Konoha and Kumogakure had fought several large-scale battles here.
As a result, Konoha had a detailed understanding of the terrain. Using high-precision maps drawn by the intelligence division, Team 11 safely navigated through the Land of Moon and reached the border of the Land of Lightning.
Standing on a tree branch at the border, Kakashi gazed at the distant valley and said, “It should be there!”
Focusing on his vision, Hyuga Kyo shook his head after a moment, “The valley is filled with numerous sealing jutsu, interfering with my Byakugan’s detection. I can’t determine how many Kumogakure ninjas are inside.”
Having fought Konoha for years, Kumogakure had learned to consider Konoha’s dojutsu users in their defenses, employing countermeasures at key facilities.
Kakashi wasn’t too disappointed, calmly saying, “Then let’s proceed as planned. You three will distract the outer guards while I handle the final attack!”
Gai immediately objected, “But…”
Before Gai could finish, Kakashi interrupted, “I’m the captain; this is an order. Execute it!”
Shisui glanced at Kakashi, then turned to Hyuga Kyo, seeking his opinion.
Gai also looked over at Hyuga Kyo, thinking that if anyone could persuade Kakashi, it would be Hyuga Kyo.
With one hand on his hip and the other resting on the hilt of his Grass S-Maru sword, Hyuga Kyo asked calmly, “Kakashi, let me ask you this: Are you confident?”
Kakashi replied without hesitation, “Of course I am. Don’t worry, I’ll meet you at the rendezvous point!”
