The ninjas of Kirigakure were already demoralized, and faced with the fierce attack of the Uzumaki clan ninjas, they seemed even more overwhelmed.
The Uzumaki clan ninjas, on the other hand, were in high spirits, with shouts of battle rising and falling.
"Hahaha, follow in the captain's footsteps and slaughter these Kirigakure scum!"
"That's right, kill them!"
Just as the Uzumaki clan ninjas, resigned to their fate, were preparing to launch a counterattack.
Suddenly, Hatake Kaede sensed familiar chakra reactions rapidly approaching from a greater distance.He was overjoyed, knowing his plan had succeeded.
At the same time, the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan and Kirigakure also noticed this sudden appearance of unfamiliar chakra.
The appearance of this chakra completely disrupted Kirigakure's original plans, catching them somewhat off guard.
For the Uzumaki clan ninjas who were unaware of the situation, this unfamiliar chakra undoubtedly put them on high alert.
Seeing this, Hatake Kaede's lips curled up slightly.He turned to look at the ships protected in the middle and shouted to Reina Uzumaki on one of them, "Reina Uzumaki, reinforcements have arrived.Proceed according to plan!"
Upon hearing the word "reinforcements," the Uzumaki clan members beamed with joy, while the Kirigakure ninjas' expressions changed drastically, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts.
As expected, the previously blurry figures in the distance gradually became clearer; it turned out to be a unit from Konoha.The leading few dozen men broke away from the main force and sped towards the rear of the Kirigakure ninja.
Among the reinforcements, some of the ninjas had scarlet eyes, and the leader was naturally Uchiha Masaru!
However, to Hatake Kaede's surprise, the eyes of another group of people were completely white, clearly belonging to the Hyuga clan.
Upon seeing this group of people with conjunctivitis and cataracts, the Hidden Mist Village ninjas were immediately thrown into a panic.
They cursed inwardly: "Damn it, why are these Uchiha and Hyuga devils here?These red-eyed and white-eyed monsters are not to be trifled with!"
However, these Hidden Mist Village ninjas were, after all, highly trained professional combatants, and their reaction speed was extremely fast.Almost instantly, the Hidden Mist Village ninjas took countermeasures.
Without hesitation, they sped toward the ship guarded by the Uzumaki clan, clearly intending to take the Uzumaki clan members hostage to threaten Konoha's forces.
After all, the people of Konoha have always valued so-called "bonds" and "comrades," and as long as they capture a member of the Uzumaki clan, they may have a chance to escape.
The Uzumaki clan ninjas responsible for protecting the ship naturally saw through the Hidden Mist's scheme, so they decided to do everything in their power to stop them.
Strangely, Hatake Kaede, who was the main force, did not interfere and allowed the Hidden Mist ninjas to rush onto the ship.
The Uzumaki clan ninja beside him said anxiously, "Captain, what's wrong."
Before the words were even finished, the Hidden Mist Village ninjas who had just rushed onto the ship crashed into a series of sturdy barriers.One by one, they were knocked dizzy and sent flying backward.
Immediately afterwards, the "wounded" and "civilians" hidden in the cabins appeared one after another, but these people did not look like "wounded" at all.They all pulled out weapons and looked at the surrounded Kirigakure ninjas with sinister smiles.
Hatake Kaede jumped onto the deck of the ship and gave the final order to attack to his men.
The Uchiha and Hyuga ninjas charged straight into the Kirigakure forces like tigers descending a mountain.
" Fire Style: Great Flame Annihilation!"
"Sharingan - Genjutsu!"
"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!"
"The Eight Trigrams Reverse Heaven!"
Although Konoha's vanguard was small in number, its strength was formidable.The arrival of Konoha's two major ocular clans on the battlefield ignited the entire war effort.
On the ship, the Uzumaki clan ninjas, disguised as "wounded" and "civilians," were also very powerful.They had been holding back their anger for a long time, and now they could finally vent it all.
Thus, the previously arrogant and domineering Kirigakure ninja were instantly slaughtered and left questioning their existence when attacked from both sides by two fresh forces.
With the battle decided, Hatake Kaede could finally relax a bit.However, he still had some questions: why were those old fogies from the Hyuga clan here?
In Konoha, the Hyuga clan is known for being rigid and stubborn, and even the current Konoha leadership have a headache dealing with those old stubborn Hyuga members.
However, upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that the only person in Konoha who can persuade the old fogies of the Hyuga clan is the old lady of the Senju family.
Fortunately, the Hyuga clan joined the effort, and with the help of their Byakugan, the main force of Konoha was able to find the Uzumaki clan's fleet on the vast ocean.
The battle did not last long.With the arrival of the main force, the Kirigakure unit was completely wiped out.
"Hahaha, that was exhilarating!That was exhilarating!I haven't fought such a satisfying battle in a long time.Hatake kid, you've done a great job!"
Before he arrived, his voice preceded his arrival.Uchiha Masaru walked over with a beaming smile.
He patted Hatake Kaede on the shoulder and asked, "What should we do next?"
Hatake Kaede laughed and said, "Is there any need to ask?Of course, we should go all out, charge into the Land of Whirlpools, and wipe out the remaining ninjas from Kirigakure."
So, the Konoha reinforcements and the Uzumaki clan ninjas joined forces, rested for a while, and then continued their journey towards the Land of Whirlpools.
......
After everyone left, the sea gradually returned to calm.
Under the crashing waves, corpses, bloodstains, and all traces of battle vanished without a trace.
However, in this quiet atmosphere, an aloe vera head sprouted, which was none other than the Black and White Aloe Vera.
Bai Jue spoke first."What's going on?Why are Konoha's reinforcements here?And so quickly!Uchiha Masaru shouldn't be here, right?What went wrong?"
Black Zetsu replied, "It's that brat from the Hatake family; that's a variable.Where did he get this information from?"
"Should we tell Master Ban and have him deal with him?Try to get Master Ban to beat him into a pulp."
"Shut up, you idiot!" Black Zetsu snapped."We definitely need to tell Madara about this.Let Madara make the decision!"
[Hey kid, don't blame me, it's your own fault for blocking my path to resurrecting "Mom"!]
"That's right.If Master Ban makes a move, then this unexpected variable will be wiped out!But when he dies, can I ask him what it feels like to poop?"
Black Zetsu ignored the mentally challenged White Zetsu, its aloe vera-shaped heads slowly closed, then gradually sank into the sea and disappeared.
Inside the cabin in the distance, Hatake Kaede, who was resting, suddenly opened his eyes.He turned his body and looked in the direction where Black and White Zetsu had disappeared.
"You've finally appeared."
