Chapter 33 War begins

Time passed in silence between the ninjas of both sides. Everyone's pupils became bloodshot due to the combined effect of complex hormones in their bodies. A desire for killing surged up on the field, scaring the dormant animals into trembling.

When a cloud slowly floated over the skies of both sides, casting a shadow, the battle began.

As the chief of Konoha Village and the highest commander on the front line, Sarutobi has the power and obligation to launch an attack at the first opportunity. While flexing his muscles, he also sets an example for a group of violent elements and tells them how to kill the enemy efficiently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put his middle and index fingers together and held them upright in front of his chest. After a puff of smoke, a huge special shuriken appeared in his arms, and then he swung it out. The shuriken whimpered and flew towards the Sand Ninja. During the flight, one became two, two became four, and it increased exponentially, and soon formed an overwhelming rain of shuriken, smashing towards the Sand Ninja.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

The shuriken with a wide range and great power did not cause any harm to the Sand Ninjas. A thin sand iron wall firmly protected everyone. The Third Kazekage did not come to the battlefield to show off, he came to kill people. But before he could release his bloodline ninjutsu, the unethical Sarutobi Hiruzen also arrived with the next wave of attacks.

The extremely long distance between the two sides did not limit Sarutobi Hiruzen's release of ninjutsu. When his hand slapped the ground, he still accurately hit the Sand Ninja with his unparalleled chakra control ability.

"Earth Escape·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

The hard land turned into a swamp under the impetus of the omnipotent chakra. Before the Third Kazekage could cast a spell to save it, flames flashed through the swamp, and then a huge fire broke out into the sky.

The trapped Sand Ninjas let out painful howls, which penetrated the barriers of space and reached the ears of every ninja present.

Ye Shan looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who killed more than a hundred Sand Ninjas as easily as drinking water, and pursed his lips. In his heart, he slapped himself in the face for sleeping in class in his previous life. There is methane in the swamp, and methane will explode when it encounters fire. Every student who has received nine years of compulsory education knows this, but Ye Shan has completely forgotten it.

From this we can see that poor students are not worthy of becoming strong people and are destined to be a background board for life.

The old rogue Sarutobi Hiruzen seized the opportunity when the morale of his own ninjas was boosted, and rushed towards the Sand Ninja Army like a sharp sword.

Hatake Sakumo was the first to react. With a flash of lightning under his feet, he followed with a determination to sacrifice his life for justice. In fact, he was helpless in his heart. His mission today was to be the supporting role of the Third Hokage, to highlight the might of the Third Hokage. To put it bluntly, he was someone else's personal bodyguard. Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. If the Third Hokage was tricked by someone and died on the spot, the village would be happy to change the village chief on the one hand, and on the other hand, the Hatake clan would be exterminated and buried with Sarutobi Hiruzen. Although there were only a few people in total, who would like to go to hell together with the whole family?

The Konoha ninjas looked at the Third Hokage who was breaking through the formation like a god of war, and burst into huge cheers. They picked up their weapons and rushed over, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.

The Third Kazekage was feeling extremely frustrated at the moment. The unsportsmanlike Sarutobi Hiruzen rushed over without giving him any time to perform after showing off his muscles. He was so angry that he quickly called out to the somewhat dazed Sand Ninja, picked up his weapons and chopped them off.

The two ninjas collided under the gaze of the clouds, leaving behind a large number of broken arms and limbs and dying cries. The first batch of ninjas that came into contact were almost all killed in an instant by the impact of the opponent's ninjutsu. Then came the second batch, the third batch... until one side was exhausted or timid and collapsed.

The pungent smell of blood burst out almost as the two sides collided. The God of Death hurriedly put down the scythe in his hand, gathered the souls that had lost their flesh, and enjoyed the long-lost feast.

The Minato team with a special mission did not join the battle at the first time, but stood where they were with hundreds of Konoha ninjas, watching the shocking battle for free. The bloody scene made Inuzuka E's ninja dog lower its head, and made many ninjas turn pale.

The strength of an individual seems insignificant in a large-scale group fight, except for the shadows of both sides.

Every attack of the Third Hokage would take the lives of several or even dozens of Sand Ninjas. His powerful ninjutsu that could be released continuously allowed him to move freely among the enemies like cutting melons and vegetables. The ninjutsu machine gun could perfectly describe his heroic posture in combat.

The same is true for the Third Kazekage. The Magnetism Style Bloodline Limit gave him the attribute of large-scale harvesting. If the Third Hokage is a ninjutsu machine gun, he can be crowned with the title of precision strike missile.

The ninja world is a world that doesn't care about appearances. It always favors bloodline limits. The pinnacle of regular ninjas is likely to be the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, but the pinnacle of bloodline limit ninjas is the man who is called a god - Senju Hashirama.

Sarutobi Hiruzen came to his senses and stopped his personal killing show. He found an opportunity to knock the Third Kazekage out of the war with one blow and started a Kage-level battle.

Hatake Sakumo, who had been working silently, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. It's not easy to be a supporting role, and it's not easy to lick the leader! Ninja life is not only about the present, but also about the future.

After casually killing a few Sand Ninjas who had lost their minds and attacked him, Hatake Sakumo could not help but feel bored. When there is no monkey in the mountain, Hatake is the king. After the monkey... Sarutobi Hiruzen left, Hatake Sakumo became the coolest ninja on the field. He attracted the attention of a large group of people while spinning and jumping, including Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law. Chiyo's son, who had long wanted to ascend to the position of village chief with Hatake Sakumo's head, secretly launched his own attack.

Densely packed Thousand Bones shot towards the jumping Hatake Sakumo, but with lightning flashing on his body, Hatake Sakumo once again easily took away an unlucky Sand Ninja, and the Thousand Bones didn't even touch him.

Just when Hatake Sakumo was destined to become a background figure, Hayama and a group of Konoha ninjas who did not participate in the battle quietly disappeared from the battlefield. They had only one target, the Sand Village's medical ninja unit!

In the regular meeting of the jonin of Konoha Village held not long ago, Tsunade Senju proposed to build a complete medical ninja training system, vigorously develop medical standards, and strive to achieve the strategic goal of assigning one medical ninja to each team, which shocked the top leaders of Konoha. According to Tsunade's statistics, the survival rate and endurance of ninja teams with medical ninjas in wartime crushed those without medical ninjas. During the entire World War II, thousands of excellent ninjas died of injuries and illnesses because they failed to receive timely assistance. The existence of medical ninjas can increase the survival rate of ninjas by 30%!

The research report written in black and white was immediately sealed up, and the Third Hokage issued a gag order on the spot, prohibiting the leakage of this data, which shocked the ninjas in the village. The exhausted Konoha Village was unable to complete Tsunade's strategic goals, but after the war, it would certainly attach great importance to the training of medical ninjas. At present, what Konoha can do is to block this data and then madly attack the enemy's medical system.

You know, the resources spent on training a qualified medical ninja are enough to train two to three combat ninjas. The medical ninjas of Sand Village have become the primary target of this battle!

Under the order of Sarutobi Hiruzen, more than a hundred elite Konoha soldiers above the level of Chunin did not engage in fighting on the battlefield in order to destroy the medical system of Sunagakure.

Ye Shan had no idea about the meeting in the village. He only knew that if they failed to complete the task today, they would be faced with the anger and accusations of the higher-ups.

The wartime hospital of Sunagakure was set up five kilometers behind the battlefield. Although the war had just started, a large number of wounded had been sent here. The whole hospital was busy, and the sound of glassware being knocked over and broken could be heard from time to time.

Ikegami Seiya, who was stationed here, was a well-known strongman in the Sand Village. He was fully armed and was listening to the report from the perception ninja with a gloomy face. After learning from the perception ninja that the guard team was wiped out, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes and think.

A moment later, Ikegami Qingyan's order was heard by the sensing ninja. He was startled and formed seals with his hands. Then he transmitted the order to every stationed ninja through ninjutsu.

"Order: Leave five teams to continue defending, and the rest of the teams to build a protective network in front of the hospital and strive to annihilate the enemy!"

The well-trained Sand Ninjas dispersed under the leadership of the team leader. Ikegami Aoki stood quietly in place, waiting for the Konoha Ninjas who broke through the protective net to come and die.

According to Ikegami Ayanobu's idea, the number of interference troops sent by Konoha would not be too large. Attacking medical ninjas is a common practice in the ninja world, but out of humanitarianism and practical circumstances, everyone chose to kill them on a small scale instead of completely annihilating them. He believed that the protective net he set up was enough to stop the Konoha ninjas. Even if they could rush in, there were still five teams to give the invading enemy a fatal blow.

This is why Chi Shangqingyan was able to serve as the commander. It is always right to be cautious. The mindset of considering defeat before considering victory is a must for a qualified commander.

Soon, the ninjas in front started fighting. Unlike large-scale group fights, the ninja squad system once again became the main theme in small-scale combat.

In June of the 41st year of the Konoha calendar, the young Baiyun Yeshan changed his career and became a member of a special group of ninjas, medical ninjas.
