The Northern Border of the Rain Country - Red Dust Frontier
Above the battlefield, screams came from far away and got closer.
Dozens of figures appeared, some of them floating in the air using the Light and Heavy Rock Technique, while others were rock ninjas carried in the air using clay birds.
This is Iwagakure's aerial combat team, floating in the air and attacking the ground.
The leader, Sora, looked through his goggles, his pupils suddenly constricted at the scene below.
The expected brutal tug-of-war did not occur. He came to provide assistance. After the front line was attacked, Ohnoki guessed that they were going to attack Akagi and immediately ordered the front-line air combat team to provide support.
He also received a message that the command line on the mountain was under pressure from the Konoha army, and ordered the blasting team to go to support. However, he himself could not make it in time because he did not have the corresponding reverse summoning technique.
In Kong's field of vision, there was only a huge, mirror-smooth concave platform with a hideous crack on the edge.
In the center, Chi Chen's figure was suspended, surrounded by slowly rotating dark blue cubic stardust.
Below, the surviving Konoha ninjas collapsed to the ground as if their spines had been pulled out, or had their chakras roughly sealed and tied up by the Iwa ninjas.
"Is... the battle over?" Kong's voice was incredibly hoarse and reached the team members' ears through the communication ninja tool.
They circled and lowered their altitude, looking at the shocking remains of the battlefield and the soul-trembling chakra power emanating from Chi Chen. Even the battle-hardened elite airmen felt a chill rising up their spines.
Lord Chichen's power has exceeded their comprehension, and this kind of battle that changes the terrain is indeed extremely impactful.
Of course, if they participated in the Fourth War, they would find that Huang Tu used the Mountain Earth Technique to restrain the Ten-Tails. In the ninja world, there is really a huge difference between geniuses and ordinary people.
Chi Chen looked up and said, "Captain Kong, leave one squad behind to guard the prisoners. The rest of you, follow me immediately to support the commander-in-chief on the mountain!"
Without any pause, he used the Light and Heavy Rock Technique again, combined with the Wind Escape technique to fly towards the front line.
Kong suppressed the shock in his heart and immediately followed the order, leading the main force to follow Chi Chen.
Iwagakure-Konoha Main Battlefield
When Chi Chen arrived, the battle situation on the front line had become intense, just as Chi Chen had expected.
Chi Chen borrowed the contact point of a front-line stronghold along the way and used the reverse spiritual communication technique to reach a stronghold near the front line, and then arrived here.
Danzo personally arrived at the front line, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
The news that Uchiha Kagami and the elite squad had lost contact was like a hammer hitting his heart. Then came the tragic news that Hatake Sakumo was seriously injured and the troops were wiped out. There was no chance for the details to be reported, but the most important thing now was to catch Iwagakure off guard first.
"Iwagakure!" Danzo's voice was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
"Send the message! Akimichi Takefu, attack head-on and tear open the tortoise shell of Iwagakure! Orochimaru, use your summoning beasts and ninjutsu to create chaos from the flanks and find the headquarters on the mountain!" He paused, a complex look flashing in his eyes, "Jiraiya, cooperate with Takefu..."
Konoha's counterattack erupted with astonishing power. At this time, Konoha was still a great country with extremely profound heritage.
Akimichi Tofu used the expansion technique to transform into a huge body like a moving mountain, and then performed the "Multiplication Technique: Human Bomb Chariot!"
It transformed into a giant ball of flesh, repeatedly ramming into the Iwagakure's strongest defensive rock barrier, forcing the Iwagakure to continuously use rock wall techniques to strengthen their defenses.
The rock walls and obstacles arranged on the battlefield were smashed by other Konoha ninjas either using ninjutsu or directly by Akimichi Tofu.
Every impact shook the earth and cracks spread across the rock walls.
The Iwagakure ninjas relied on fortifications to fight desperately. The earth walls and rock pillars kept rising and were smashed by the huge force, and casualties began to increase sharply.
Orochimaru's figure moved around like a ghost, and he formed seals with his hands, "Summoning Technique: Ten Thousand Snakes Formation!" Countless poisonous snakes surged out like a tide, attacking the Iwagakure's line and disrupting their defense.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" Combined with the poisonous snake, the violent wind blades cut the rock wall and the ninja.
His target was clear: Yamagamiki's headquarters. The Iwagakure ninjas were overwhelmed with their abilities and defenses.
Most of the top combat forces on the Iwagakure front are now dispersed, and only a few senior ninjas can hold back a Konoha warrior.
Yamagami was in the command center with a serious expression on his face.
Reports of tense situations on various fronts continued to arrive from the communication tools.
Akimichi Tofu's frontal attack tied up too many troops, and Konoha now put all its three-line combat forces on the Iwagakure side.
He knew that Danzo was using the pressure of the entire front to force Iwagakure to reveal its flaws, but there was no way out on the mountain.
As the chief commander of Iwagakure, he is also a well-known strong man. In addition, with so many Iwagakure ninjas, they are not afraid of the Konoha ninjas at all. However, Ohnoki had already sent a message ordering the mountain to delay the main force of Konoha.
The demolition team and the air combat team will provide support soon. They have to catch Konoha off guard to make the battle situation look weaker than Iwagakure. Otherwise, the nearly 10,000 ninjas alone will not be enough to defeat Konoha.
This operational plan was originally within the planning of the General Staff.
When Chichen took the opportunity to form an alliance with Sunagakure and caught Konoha off guard, Yamagami knew that the opportunity had come.
Before the war started, Ohnoki summoned Yamagami alone and told him that the next generation of Iwagakure needed not only wisdom, but also strong fighting power.
This is what teacher Ohnoki could think of doing for his disciples.
The same thing happened in World War I. Ohnoki earned his place on the battlefield, and Sarutobi Hiruzen earned the title of Ninja Hero. If he wanted to pass the position to Chichen later, he needed supreme prestige to remove all obstacles for Chichen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ohnoki put down his hand that was rubbing his waist, picked up the battle report, and without looking at it, he tapped the paper lightly with his short, thick fingers, making a dull "thump thump" sound.
"On the mountain," Ohnoki said, "the war is coming, and I will send Chichen to the front line of this war."
Yamagami bowed slightly, "Yes, Lord Tsuchikage, Chichen's strength is enough to make a name for himself on the battlefield."
On the mountain, he witnessed Chi Chen's growth with his own eyes. He was a legendary genius, and perhaps one day he would become a strong man like the first Hokage and Uchiha Madara.
"Hmm," Ōnoki snorted, "But the mountain isn't even close to enough."
"I'm old now. The future Yondaime will definitely be Akashin. Akashin has big plans. He is a man with great ideals like Hashirama. He wants to change the world."
Ohnoki's voice suddenly rose in pitch, carrying an unquestionable determination.
"But without an overwhelming victory, he wouldn't be able to accomplish it. He can't be so ruthless as to sweep all opposition into the dust. Therefore, as his teacher, I will help him build a great reputation, letting everyone know that Chi Chen is someone who can silence everyone with his strength!"
He paused, his eyes fixed on Yamagamiki: "Chen needs a reputation that will make the entire ninja world remember the arrival of a new era of Iwagakure."
Yamagami immediately understood Ohnoki's subtext. He straightened his back, his eyes becoming extremely focused. "Isn't it too early now? He hasn't even reached his full growth spurt yet."
