Chapter 454 Half-step Perfection

This was the first night of camping after the battle plan was redefined. It would be used as a transit camp for rest and supply in the rear when they set out again, so the medical ninjas were concentrated together with the combat troops and were not placed separately. Fortunately, they avoided the enemy's "appearance" this time.

Where do the enemies come from? If there are only a small number of enemies, it is really difficult to trace them. Tens of thousands of enemies are obviously not a small number, and the "clues" are just clues that are enough to be twisted into a rope.

"News came from the front line. The previous burial pits showed signs of being disturbed, and a large number of enemy corpses disappeared. It seems that the enemies that were eliminated before have resurrected again!"

"what!"

How come such a disgusting ability has appeared again, and has been hidden until now?

"Lord Raikage, there is a research report on the enemy. Their body material is similar to plants, so they can be completely eliminated. The problem is not difficult to solve."

"I know that! But why waste time on something like this!"

Since these miscellaneous soldiers have come up with new tricks, one cannot help but speculate that they are making some new moves behind the scenes. Their plan may be progressing smoothly and has even reached a new stage.

After a night of calm, morale, which comes and goes quickly, is not low, but is obviously no longer high.

The enemies were still the same as before, not much stronger, but the coalition forces had been reduced in numbers, the medical facilities were overloaded, and there were reports that the enemy was attacking from both sides. It seemed as if the number of enemies might have more than doubled.

Now that the enemy's movements have been discovered, they must not give up the initiative. Otherwise, if large-scale ninjutsu occurs after the camps are surrounded, the losses will be unimaginable.

The way to completely eliminate the enemy is simple. Sealing the props or completely burning them, or some other special means, in short, burning them is the most universal and feasible. This was explained before the war, and it was only an intelligence explanation at the time, but this morning it was a hard requirement: to dispose of the enemy's bodies in place.

Aiming at the area where enemies were densely populated, he unleashed long-range ninjutsu, and the air that had been settled for a night instantly became turbid.

There were bits and pieces of white limbs everywhere, without a trace of blood.

Leaving space for the chakra to recover, they began to fight hand to hand. At first, both sides had sufficient manpower, but the White Zetsu had more people, and the allied ninjas had few opportunities. Just like before, they chopped the white guys to the ground and immediately locked on the next target. With the experience of fighting in the past few days, they were also very familiar with it. Even if they were outnumbered, they were not under much pressure. As long as each of them killed a few, they could quickly reverse this superficial disadvantage.

As for dealing with corpses, which is an absolutely distracting and wasteful task, we will naturally have to wait until we can at least advance to the next battlefield before we have a safe period.

The corpses gradually increased, and nothing else happened, so most of the ninjas gradually became less vigilant. At a certain moment, someone accidentally approached during a fight, and the White Zetsu "corpse" on the ground instantly launched a sneak attack. Although the body was still seriously injured and it was difficult to maintain balance, the sneak attack was still very effective.

The weird smiles on the face of the "dead" White Zetsu were like a mockery in the hearts of the allied ninjas.

Not only can he be resurrected, he's even immortal. So what was the previous battle insignificance?

(Of course, Zetsu took the initiative to create some necessary difficulties in order to increase the sense of reality for Obito, leaving him enough room to perform so that he could honestly follow the script. Zetsu did not want to become the protagonist on the stage.)

Even if you realize the problem, it is impossible to deal with it properly right away. At this time, it is too late to consider the wear and tear of the knife. After the kill is completed, continue to make finishing blows at the level of cutting in half. Even if the corpse can be resurrected, it will be difficult to move with incomplete limbs and the threat will be much smaller.

Every failure is a lesson learned, but Zetsu has more than just prepared for this failure. With thousands of years of experience, the number of ninjutsu he knows is not comparable to that of a ninja village that has been established for less than a hundred years. Although it takes a bit of energy and chakra to control White Zetsu to learn ninjutsu, it is easy to store chakra quietly and self-destruct when lying on the ground, but the current situation is enough, just to delay for a day. Maybe it won't take a day, it all depends on Obito's idea.

There were no difficult enemies, and one had to be on guard against the enemy bringing the Outer Golem to attack again. Shadow was more in charge of supervising the battle on the front line, allowing his subordinates to take the opportunity to practice more.

The coalition forces are still wearing down the White Zetsu's regenerated scum army. Even if they were to eliminate them all today and clean up completely according to the instructions of the higher-ups, it would be late. They would probably order a division of labor, and the cleaning would be left directly to the logistics personnel stationed here...

After traveling all night and spending most of the morning delivering the courier, White Zetsu finally arrived in front of Obito, and an unconscious young man in a monk's robe vomited out from his torn body.

"Then we just have to wait until the moon comes out."

"How long will it take for the Outer Path Demon Statue to transform into the Ten-Tails?"

"Who knows."

It was not a perfunctory statement, Black Zetsu really didn't know how long such a change would take.

Obito thought for a moment, then summoned a branch to pick up the little monk on the ground and put him into the mouth of the Outer Path Demon Statue.

"…But the sun is still in the sky."

"To avoid accidents, prepare early. There is no need to wait until night."

Helpless, Black Zetsu could only complain in his heart: Accident? Obito was the biggest accident, this idiot, he didn't even know how to use the insurance strategy.

Obito is not as good as Black Zetsu, and he is really unsure. What if this little bit of Nine-Tails' chakra is not enough? He still has time to run to the front line today to force Naruto to show up.

The Outer Path Demon Statue, which already had 8 eyes opened, did not need to go through the trouble of preparing a ritual to assist in its meal. Although the Nine-Tails' chakra was so low that it was almost in Obito's eyes, fortunately the Outer Path Demon Statue was not picky about food. Obito put the monk into its mouth, and the demon statue instinctively clenched its mouth tightly.

While struggling with his upper body, the silence command cast by Obito was actively broken by the Outer Path Demon Statue.

The body, which was originally like a hill, gradually became swollen, bulging here and there, and as if it had no stamina, the entire Outer Golem collapsed after a moment of chaos, like a giant slime with great resilience.

A new form is taking shape, and what is happening here has not escaped the perception of the Allied Headquarters.

The huge amount of chakra was restrained as the golem changed its form, but it was still huge. In order to make the White Zetsu army more abundant, the chakra of the Outer Path Demon increased and decreased. The current change was only detected by the coalition forces and a piece of information was added to the data of the chakra change. This precedent has occurred many times.

But in Naruto's perception, the malice coming from afar disappeared, but the chakra representing the Outer Path Demon Statue did not disappear at the same time, which was very strange.

"Kyuubi, what's going on?"

“…something is not right.”

"I know something is wrong so I'm asking you!"

The Nine-Tails was separated from the Ten-Tails, and he had never seen the Ten-Tails in its full state, so he could only rely on his feelings. Although he didn't have his chakra sucked out like the Eight-Tails... maybe, since he was the "mastermind" that the old man treated with care, there might be other ways to obtain it.

"You can tell those Kages that the Akatsuki people may have succeeded."

The coalition's strategy is to do everything in their power to stop the enemy's plan. As for what will happen if they fail to stop the enemy, this topic, which will disrupt military morale, cannot be touched upon at all.
