Chapter 277 Strong on the outside but weak on the inside

Water Kingdom Battlefield

After Yunyin had been guarding for a whole morning.

Everyone knew that Kirigakure's offensive would be even more intense in the afternoon.

So they are all very alert.

Fortunately, Kirabi recovered somewhat.

He can barely fight in his human form, but not in his tailed beast form.

The injuries on his body are not easy to deal with, especially the toxin problem, which has never been able to be eliminated.

"I hope they don't overestimate their capabilities. These guys, stupid guys."

Kirabi was still wrapped in a bandage, and the faint redness inside the bandage did not affect his strong speech.

He looked towards Kirigakure from outside the stronghold.

Yukito's injury is very strange. He has never recovered, and now he cannot go to the battlefield at all.

Kirabi can't fight for a long time, otherwise the wound will burst open again.

But he had to come, and he couldn't let Kirigakure know about his recovery status.

Just hold on until the Raikage appears.

However, Kirabi's idea was obviously shattered, and more Kirigakure tried to attack in the afternoon.

Moreover, several people active on the battlefield were all acquaintances of Kirabi.

Kisame, Zabuza, Juzo.

Three more people acted as sharp knives and quickly swept away the people on the periphery of Yunyin.

The fighting power of several people was very strong and they played a very good leading role.

"Water escape, water body."

Kisame summoned another pile of water to appear.

Go directly to the Explosive Talisman Trap.

There were rumbling explosions all around Yunyin's stronghold.

Extensive use of the water body also consumes a lot of chakra, but Kisame has the same shark muscles to suck it back to him.

Therefore, Kisame is the most efficient at breaking traps.

While Kirigakure was slowly advancing towards Kumogakure.

Juuzou, Zabuza, and Kisame felt a huge sense of threat.

I’ve never felt this feeling before!

Juuzang shouted: "It's the Tailed Beast Tama! Run!"

Juuzang only had time to shout before falling to the ground.

A pitch-black tailed beast jade in the sky smashed into Kirigaki's team.

Boom----Long-----

The huge sound and shock wave knocked out most of Kirigakure in an instant.

A huge hole instantly appeared in the middle of the team.

There were more than ten people dead on the spot. Almost all those who were close by had injuries to their internal organs, and several of them were vomiting blood in their mouths.

I can't live without seeing it.

The tailed beast jade landed not far from Kisame. The huge power and shock wave sent Kisame flying away.

After Kisame got up, he immediately vomited a mouthful of blood.

His internal organs were injured by the tailed beast jade.

Fortunately, he kept holding Samehada tightly in his hand.

Samehada had already absorbed a lot of chakra just now.

Seeing that Kisame was injured, he quickly sent chakra to Kisame, and the wounds on Kisame healed quickly.

Loquat Juzo and Zabuza were relatively far apart and were not greatly affected.

He ran over and saw that Kisame was fine.

He quickly said: "The jinchuriki on the opposite side may have recovered from his injuries, so retreat quickly."

Kisame actually knew that the Kirabi opposite him was strong on the outside and smart on the inside.

But today he felt comfortable cutting and could no longer continue.

"Save everyone you can."

As he said this, Kisame Kisaki looked at the nearby Kirigakure and took away everything he could save.

He called the other Kirigakure people and quickly retreated.

……

Kirabi changed back from the tailed beast state, and his body was covered with bursting blood.

He also murmured: "These guys, stupid guys..."

The person is already unconscious.

Xi hurriedly came forward and said while treating her, "It's so random."

Yumu Ren said helplessly next to him: "If Kirabi doesn't scare them away, our losses will be huge."

Samyi also retreated. She was still on the front line just now. After receiving the news, she quickly retreated with Kumogakure.

Sure enough, a moment later, the tailed beast jade fell from the sky.

Samyi knew Kirabi's condition, and when he came back, he saw that Kirabi was indeed unconscious.

Samyi suggested: "The shocking effect of Kirabi's Tailed Beast Jade will not last long. If Kirigakure attacks again, we will be very passive."

"Why don't we give up this stronghold?"

Now that Kirabi is in coma, the only person who can actually make the final decision is Yukito.

Yuki thought for a moment and asked Xiang Xi: "How many wounded do we have who are unable to fight?"

Xi was in charge of this, and as soon as he thought about it, he came up with the numbers:

"Fifty-three people are unable to participate in the battle, and there may be more today."

Yukito exhaled, it was not easy to build a base on Kirigakure's side.

But with the two Jinchuuriki injured, Kumogakure simply couldn't withstand Kirigakure's attack.

It is also a good idea to abandon the stronghold now, break it into pieces, and wait until the Raikage arrives before regrouping.

The reason why we needed a stronghold in the past was because we didn't know whether Kirigakure's jinchūriki were there, so we needed to be steady and steady.

But now, it seems that Kirigakure's Jinchuuriki is indeed gone.

It was necessary to protect the living forces, especially the safety of the two Jinchuuriki.

……

Konoha Village.

Hokage's office.

"Old man, I'm back."

A familiar voice sounded.

He has long black hair, a goatee, and wears a tight-fitting black combat uniform with green jounin mail on the outside.

There are dark red logos tattooed on the shoulders and back. There was a mark of the Fire Nation's crest on his waist, and there was a cigarette in his mouth.

It was Asuma Sarutobi.

The Third Hokage took a puff of cigarette: "It's earlier than expected."

Although Asuma also had a cigarette in his mouth, he did not light it.

"If you hadn't been so anxious to call me back, I wouldn't have been so anxious."

Asma spoke calmly and looked calm. She said she was anxious, but there was no sense of urgency on her face.

Seeing Asuma's easy-going personality now, Sandai also sighed.

If Asuma hadn't been so rebellious before, the burden of Konoha would have been handed over to him long ago.

Now Asma can be said to be the prodigal son who has turned back.

Although the two did not have a complete heart-to-heart relationship, the third Hokage could still see the changes in Asuma.

It’s not too late now, there is still time to cultivate slowly.

For now, let Orochimaru deal with those troublesome Uchiha.

Sandai thought so in his heart and said:

"This time Kumogakure and Kirigakure have already started fighting. I don't know what the future of the war will be like."

"Don't leave the village for now."

"The Ninja School is about to graduate a group of students. You should be the leader."

Asuma didn't ask any more questions: "I understand. I'm going to find Hong first."

The third generation nodded.

Asuma has been pursuing Kurenai for many years, but before, his character was not mature at all, and Kurenai didn't like him too much.

Later, as Asma grew older and matured, her pursuit of Kurenai never stopped. Kurenai was gradually moved by Asma.

I just recently agreed to be with Asuma.

Asma walked out of the office before taking out a lighter and lighting the cigarette.

After taking a deep breath, he slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

Asma is no longer the rebellious young man she once was.

From when he became one of the "Twelve Guardians of Ninja", to finally having political disagreements with Kazuma, and finally the organization split.

After experiencing a lot, Asma gradually understood her father's hard work.

Uchiha has been very active in recent years. To be precise, Uchiha only became active after Natsuki Uchiha appeared.

Every move they made truly strengthened themselves.

The prestige of the Third Hokage has been severely damaged in several incidents.

In particular, Danzo's defection almost eliminated the possibility of Uchiha and Konoha ever reconciling again.

The Third Hokage recalled Jiraiya one after another, vindicated Orochimaru, and accepted Orochimaru back to the village.

Many experts were transferred back to the village.

Asuma thinks that it may not be a matter of war between Kumogakure and Kirigakure.

But the problem of Konoha and Uchiha is imminent.

He took another deep drag on the cigarette.

Asuma also felt a little uneasy.

We can only see what Uchiha plans.
