Chapter 207: The Fire is Extinguished

For most Konoha ninjas, it is difficult for them to survive, whether they choose to attack forward or retreat to the village to defend. War is not a game, it is a machine, a machine that needs human lives to feed.

Death will not disappear because of Ye Shan's arrival. The ninjas present all know this, but they still choose to pick up weapons and fight.

Ye Shan led thousands of ninjas to quickly infiltrate the northern hilly area. Teams of frontier teams were continuously sent out, and terrifying news was sent back.

"A large number of enemies are spotted ahead."

"The number of enemies has been detected to be at least three thousand."

"The Raikage and Tsuchikage are stationed at the front."

"There are less than 500 of our surrounded companions left."

"..."

When the enthusiasm in people's hearts subsided, the fear of death inevitably surged up and the orderly queue became chaotic.

Ye Shan saw all of this. He was extremely clear-headed and knew what he was doing. No matter how many noble reasons he had to decorate it, he could not cover up the fact that his actions required many ninjas from his fellow village to die.

So Yeshan stopped when he was some distance away from the enemy, and then said the words that Hatake Sakumo had been repeating.

"Death is inevitable in ninja missions, but you have the right to know the dangers you are about to face. I want to emphasize that many people will not come back alive, including me. Someone once let me choose my own path, and now I also give you this power, even if the consequences of doing so are disastrous."

"The end of a ninja is definitely not a boring death. Sacrifice and being sacrificed are two completely different concepts. This is what I was taught by others."

"Go forward and sacrifice your life for the slim chance of victory, or retreat back to the village and wait for the final outcome. You choose one."

After saying that, Ye Shan closed his eyes and waited quietly.

The commotion turned into a riot, the crowd became seething, and they gathered in twos and threes to argue.

After a long time, the crowd quieted down. When Ye Shan opened his eyes, he saw the Konoha ninjas half-kneeling in an orderly manner. The sight of thousands of half-kneeling ninjas gave him a great shock.

Nara Shikaku looked up and stared at Hayama with mixed feelings. The young man in front of him seemed to be a natural leader, and he won the support of everyone with just a few words.

But what he didn't know was that the above words were all what Ye Shan thought in his heart. Ye Shan understood what the ninja species urgently needed: will.

Without will, a ninja cannot master unimaginable power; without will, a ninja cannot endure unbearable pain.

Konoha Village has come to this point today, and what it lacks is definitely not strategic materials and elite ninjas. The death of the Third Hokage has taken away most of the village's will to survive. What Yeshan has to do is to give the village new will!

"It seems that you are already prepared to die a violent death. No matter why, I want to thank you. Thank you for being willing to sacrifice your lives for the village at this moment, and thank you for believing in me." Ye Shan bowed, his words full of sincerity.

"Everyone, follow me to break the formation!"

"Yes!"

A team of thousands of people set out again, and a kind of momentum began to emerge among the people. It was a spirit of risking one's life to survive, and it was also a noble will to give everything for the village.

Less than a day later, Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village faced off again. The former was more tragic, while the latter was more arrogant.

In the eyes of the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village, they had already defeated the overlord of the ninja world, Konoha, head-on, and destroying the other party was just a piece of cake. Although they were surprised by the arrival of the enemy, they did not take it seriously.

If I can defeat you once, I can defeat you a second time!

There was no so-called trash talk before the battle. In fact, Ye Shan did not slow down at all. Instead, he quickened his pace and used all his strength to rush into the Hidden Cloud Village camp.

"Deploy the technique: Thunder Kill!"

Ye Shan chose the jutsu he was least good at. He wanted to tell the Hidden Cloud Village in the most direct way that you are all inferior when it comes to using Thunder Jutsu!

"put!"

With the roar, kunai swept in like a swarm of locusts covering the sky and the sun, and their target was Ye Shan who was digging the formation alone.

Ye Shan sneered, and the lightning on his body suddenly increased, turning into a flash of lightning that crossed hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye and cut the throat of a Cloud Ninja in front of his horrified eyes.

Blood splattered everywhere, and several Cloud Ninjas appeared in an instant, stabbing Ye Shan's vital points with their weapons, completely disregarding the life and death of their companions who were still alive.

Ye Shan supported himself on the ground with his hands, and spun his legs quickly. He used the lightning attached to them to cut several Cloud Ninjas in half, then jumped into the air, overlooking the Cloud Ninja army.

"Thunder Escape·Pseudo Darkness!"

Three bolts of lightning shot out from Ye Shan's mouth, leaving three large, smoking pits and several blackened corpses on the ground. After completing the spell, he drew out the ninja sword from behind and turned into a bolt of lightning again and rushed in.

Chopping, stabbing, picking, slashing, spinning, jumping, squatting, leaning back, leaning forward, Ye Shan's movements were crisp and decisive, and every attack would cause casualties to the enemy, like a tireless killer.

The Hidden Cloud Village teams, which were confident of their strength, went forward to fight, but were defeated and killed again and again. The Cloud Ninjas gradually began to face up to the enemy's strength. The commander calmly issued orders and sent out the Jonin teams to strangle the enemy in time.

Storm Release, Lightning Release, Wind Release, Fire Release, and Earth Release all shone together in the empty space, flashing with various colors of light, but they were unable to defeat Ye Shan.

"Pfft!"

Ye Shan thrust his sword into the soil, stabbed a Cloud Ninja who tried to launch a sneak attack from underground, and breathed a sigh of relief. Such a high-intensity battle made him a little tired. The Cloud Ninjas' fighting spirit was indeed well-deserved. They rushed up one after another, as if they were not afraid of death at all.

Looking back, Ye Shan was relieved to find that Konoha had not yet joined the battle. This was a tactic he had arranged in advance. Konoha could not afford to be tossed around, especially before the Raikage and Tsuchikage appeared. Ye Shan would not allow them to rashly engage in a bitter battle.

"You seem to... look down on me?" Ye Shan said coldly. From the beginning to now, he has killed at least dozens of Cloud Ninjas, but the opponent's shadow still has not appeared, making Ye Shan feel that he is being despised.

A Kumo-nin jonin sneered and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency seems to have reached the limit of his own ninja."

"You have quite a keen observation ability, worthy of being a jonin-level ninja." Ye Shan praised.

The other party was right. Ye Shan's breath was disordered at this moment, and his killing movements became more frequent. He had indeed reached the limit of being a ninja.

If we ignore the traditional Kanji, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth jutsu, Ye Shan's journey as a ninja would have ended here. In the world of Naruto, which emphasizes bloodline power, he is at best an elite jonin, far inferior to Hatake Sakumo back then. There is no way, the results of Hatake Sakumo's hard training after becoming a ninja are not something Ye Shan can surpass in a short time, after all, he is not a genius.

Ye Shan threw away the ninja sword in his hand and shook his neck, continuing with the sound of bones creaking: "Since you all look down on me, Baiyun Ye Shan, and think that I am nothing more than this, then I have to teach you a good lesson."

"In a ninja battle, never underestimate anyone, asshole!"

"Deploy the technique: Blazing Flame Kill!"

The blue lightning faded, replaced by orange-red flames. The flames exploded quickly when they hit the air, and in the blink of an eye they turned into dozens of fire dragons, roaring and rushing towards the Cloud Ninjas.

This is not over yet. Ye Shan rarely formed seals with his hands quickly. Then his chest swelled up like a balloon, and a wall of fire hundreds of meters high spewed out of his mouth.

"Fire Escape·The Great Fire Extinguishes!"

"The range of this technique is very large, water ninja, quickly release the ninja!"

Hundreds of Cloud Ninjas formed hand seals in unison and used large-scale water-style ninjutsu to form a water wall to meet the attack.

"Water escape·water flow wall!"

Large amounts of water vapor spread out, and the extremely high temperature scalded many water-style ninjas, but they did not dare to step back. They mobilized the chakra in their bodies to continue maintaining the water wall.

Ye Shan smiled contemptuously, formed a seal and created three shadow clones. Facing the four directions of east, south, west and north, he once again released a despairing large-scale fire ninjutsu.

"Fire Escape·The Great Fire Extinguishes!"

With Yeshan as the center, four walls of fire pushed forward. For a moment, the Konoha ninjas outside the battlefield could only see the raging flames. Yeshan, whom they relied on as a courageous figure, could not see it at all, but they cheered.

"Well done, Master Hayama!"

"The black-skinned devil from the Hidden Cloud Village, kill me!"

“Hahaha, so cool!”

After the fire, Ye Shan in the field patted the dust off his clothes, squinted his eyes dangerously to look at the enemy's corpse, and even sniffed the air subconsciously, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Mm, nice barbecue flavor. It would be perfect with some chili and cumin."

The Cloud Ninja who had just replied had already turned into charcoal and fell not far away. Ye Shan walked up and kicked it, turning it into ashes completely, and it immediately became boring.

"I still like your rebellious look just now. Can you recover for a while?"

Ye Shan talked to himself to Hui, but unfortunately the other party was a rude guy and didn't respond even though they were acquaintances.

"If, I mean if I can release Great Fire Extinguishment continuously, how will Lord Raikage respond?"

"Let me guess, I, Shu Daoshan, will definitely show up in a hurry, even more anxious than my own father dying."

"Whether it is true or not, I will know once I try it!"

"Fire Escape·The Great Fire Extinguishes!"

This time there were not four walls of fire, but ten! Ye Shan was afraid that everyone would not be able to become several people, so he thoughtfully added six more.

The Cloud Ninja Army was stunned. They had never seen such a completely crazy fighting style. Chakra was being thrown out like it was free. Who could withstand this?
