#131 - Chapter 131: Ninja War breaks out! The rich use ninjutsu to suppress, the poor use technical

"Of course."

"But."

"You'll have to go down and ask White Fang yourself."

Tsunade was seething with killing intent.

"White Fang is dead, yet you still dare to be sharp-tongued."

"This time, you're alone; no one can save Konoha."

"Slug Princess."

The moment Chiyo heard the words 'White Fang,' the killing intent in her eyes overflowed.

Aside from her location being exposed in Sunagakure, why did she still dare to recklessly charge forward?

Firstly, she had no choice.

Secondly, she didn't want to retreat.

Thirdly, there was no need to retreat.

In Chiyo's eyes, Konoha, having lost Sakumo Hatake, no longer had any reason to make her fear.

As for Tsunade, she was indeed Sunagakure's nemesis, but so what?

The strongest healer also needs to be paired with the strongest blade to unleash the power to cut down Sunagakure.

Only healing, without a blade, would only prolong the time of Konoha's demise.

"Kill!"

Under the embrace of the boiling killing intent in her heart, Chiyo let out a sharp cry.

She wasn't merely chatting with Tsunade earlier; she was buying time for the Sunagakure ninja behind her to form hand seals.

Following Chiyo's command, a hundred Sunagakure ninja stepped forward, all forming the same hand seals and using the same ninjutsu.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough."

The Sunagakure ninja who participated in this battle were all at least elite Chunin.

And Wind Release: Great Breakthrough was merely a C-rank ninjutsu; for the Sunagakure ninja, who were already skilled in Wind Release, almost everyone knew it.

A hundred Sunagakure ninja puffed out their chests and blew.

Rumble!

The majestic hurricane howled wildly, stirring up mud, earth, and rainwater, weaving into a sky-obscuring, sun-hiding storm that swept across a range of several hundred meters, heading towards the Konoha ninja in front.

And not only that.

"Wind Release: Gale Palm."

While the rolling storm poured out, 200 ninja rushed out from behind Chiyo, all holding several shuriken and throwing them.

Every shuriken was wrapped in Wind Release chakra, greatly increasing both its flying speed and destructive power, and further enhancing the shuriken's speed and attack by using the Wind Release: Great Breakthrough performed by the Sunagakure ninja earlier.

Rain in the wind, swords in the rain.

Afterward.

"Wind Release: Wind Body Flicker Technique."

Thousands of Sunagakure ninja, like fierce tigers descending the mountain, sounded the charge.

"So fast!"

Seeing this, Tsunade had to admit that Chiyo's ninja warfare experience was too rich.

Choosing the road of the Rain Country was not without reason.

Firstly, they could use the rainy season to wash away the scent and cover their tracks.

Secondly, even if their tracks were exposed, they could use the unique climate of the Rain Country to maximize the power of Wind Release.

After all, it was true that Fire countered Wind, but what if the Wind Release was wrapped in a rainstorm? And what if it was wrapped in a shuriken rain?

How could you counter that with a hammer?

Faced with this situation, if it were any other ninja village, they would probably be caught off guard.

Because the Five Great Ninja Villages were named after their characteristics.

Sunagakure, most likely, specialized in Wind Release.

Kumogakure, most likely, specialized in Lightning Release.

As for ninjutsu of other nature transformations, it wasn't that they didn't know them, but the base was relatively small.

Only Konoha was an exception.

Except for Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage generally didn't use Fire Release.

As for Konoha ninja, they were skilled in Wind Release, Fire Release, Earth Release, Water Release, and Lightning Release, and the base was quite large.

This was also one of Konoha's unique advantages.

If Fire Release couldn't counter you, then switch to another one.

With the Second Hokage, who single-handedly filled the entire Konoha forbidden jutsu library, the true 'Ninjutsu Professor,' Konoha really didn't lack the Five Elements ninjutsu.

Even if they were as stingy as the F4, even if they were as self-cherishing as the F4, they wouldn't strictly guard against Konoha ninja for ordinary Five Elements ninjutsu.

Because of this.

Even if they were commoner ninja, as long as they could become Chunin, they could learn a few Five Elements ninjutsu, especially during times of war.

"Earth Release ninja, step forward."

As soon as Tsunade finished speaking.

Whoosh!

Two hundred Konoha ninja rushed out from behind her, lining up in a row, forming the same hand seals, and using the same technique.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall."

After a hundred Konoha ninja completed the hand seals, they placed their hands on the ground.

Rumble!

The earth shook, and heavy earth walls broke out of the ground, rising from the ground, holding up the violent storm that swept in from the Rain Country and attempted to invade the Fire Country in an indestructible posture.

No matter how fierce the hurricane was, it could not blow the heavy earth wall.

No matter how torrential the rain was, it could not penetrate the solid earth wall.

No matter how sharp the shuriken were, they could not pierce the hard earth wall.

"Water Release ninja."

"Lightning Release ninja."

"Step forward."

Tsunade issued orders in an orderly manner.

It wasn't just Chiyo who could utilize the environment and climate; she could too.

It wasn't just Sunagakure ninja who could use the environment and climate to amplify ninjutsu; Konoha ninja could too.

Holding up against the roaring gale.

Blocking the sharp shuriken rain.

After keeping the storm outside the wall.

Two hundred ninja leaped up and stood on top of the earth wall, then 100 people used Water Release, and 100 people used Lightning Release.

"Lightning Release: Earth Run."

"Water Release: Raging Torrent."

Within the Rain Country, the torrential rain was all affected.

Under the control of a hundred Konoha ninja, the rain gathered into rivers, combined with silver serpent-like electric currents, forming hundreds of thunderous water currents, like giant dragons, smashing towards the Sunagakure ninja from all directions.

"Damn Konoha!"

Seeing this scene, Chiyo's eyes turned red with jealousy.

Sunagakure was not comparable to Konoha; it had not produced a Tobirama Senju who could raise the village's ninjutsu foundation with his own strength.

Sunagakure ninja could be roughly divided into three types.

Ninja who mainly used Wind Release.

Puppet masters who mainly used puppet techniques.

And then there was a miscellaneous group of ninja proficient in genjutsu, taijutsu, or some ninjutsu other than Wind Release, but none of them were very powerful.

Seeing that Tsunade had ninja of all kinds of nature transformations under her command, it was no wonder Chiyo was jealous.

Even though she had experienced this on Konoha more than once, she still turned green with envy every time she saw it.

But it was precisely because she had seen too much and been too jealous that she had developed a set of coping tactics.

In one sentence.

If rich, suppress with ninjutsu; if poor, intersperse with techniques.

When using Wind Release: Great Breakthrough to launch the first round of attack, hundreds of Sunagakure ninja were like tigers released from their cages, pressing forward on all fronts.

Including Chiyo herself.

With the strength of Sunagakure ninja being at least Chunin on average, the distance between the two armies could be crossed in a few breaths.

Close-quarters combat, disrupting Konoha's Five Elements turret tactics.

In mid-to-long-range turret tactics, Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure were no match for Konoha.

Ninjutsu of five nature transformations, combined to form large-scale composite ninjutsu.

For example, Wind Release and Fire Release.

For example, Lightning Release and Water Release.

How could Sunagakure, which mainly used single ninjutsu, withstand that?

Of course, to become one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, Sunagakure also had its own unique advantages.

Because Sunagakure Village almost had Wind Release ninja on average, the research, development, and application of Wind Release were definitely far ahead of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

The thousand Sunagakure ninja carefully selected by Chiyo all had one thing in common: they could all combine Wind Release with the Body Flicker Technique.

Body Flicker Technique advance, extremely fast.

This was also Sunagakure's method of dealing with Konoha's turret tactics.

With Sunagakure's Body Flicker Technique speed, when the two armies converged, Konoha ninja could only use two waves of ninjutsu at most before they were face-to-face.
