Chapter 141 War of Attrition

Three figures emerged from the ground, their kunai flashing with cold light and heading straight for the vital points of the rope tree.

Sheng Shu tapped his toes lightly and dodged the attacks of several people.

Minato had been waiting on the side for a long time. He flashed and pierced three people with one sword.

The three Iwagakure ninjas fell to the ground, holding their throats, and died without even seeing what Minato looked like.

"good."

Nawaki gave Minato a thumbs-up, which he learned from Dai.

“It was resolved so quickly.”

The clean and neat cooperation between the two shocked the Konoha ninjas who saw this scene.

According to intelligence, the members of this Rock Ninja unit are at least Chunin level.

"As expected of Master Chuan Feng who taught me this."

This is a die-hard fan of Kawakaze. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the power he used to beat the tailed beasts is that of a god in his mind.

The two little ones are not very old, but they are already so strong. It must be because Chuan Feng taught them well.

“They are all geniuses.”

This Konoha ninja was filled with envy.

......

"Enemy attack."

The shouts of Konoha ninjas were heard in the distance. As soon as we got rid of three of them, someone else could no longer hide.

Minato flew over and saw a Konoha ninja being punched in the chest by the Iwa ninja.

Only a "bang" was heard.

There was an explosion where the fist hit, and the Konoha ninja was blown away, his body torn into pieces.

Seeing that he was about to attack the next Konoha ninja, Minato threw out a few kunai to try to stop him.

"Is this explosive escape?"

Minato heard from Kawakaze that he had never seen this ability with his own eyes.

"I think so. It's very similar to what my brother-in-law said."

Rope Tree wasn't quite sure either.

"Oh, whatever he wants to do, just kill him."

You can explode at close range, so I will hit you from a distance.

Sheng Shu formed seals with his hands, retracted his neck, and spat out a high-speed flying water needle from his mouth.

Go straight to the vital point of the Explosive Style Rock Ninja.

Minato stepped forward with a sword and fought the ninja head-on. An explosion sounded and he immediately fled in Thunder God mode.

In just this one strike, the Explosive Ninja was pierced through the throat by the rain needles of the rope tree, and was dead beyond death.

Apart from his weird explosive ability, he doesn't seem to be that strong.

No wonder there are so many people who know this explosive technique.

Just as one person was killed here, another explosion was heard on the other side.

Minato took a look at the sword and saw that there was already a crack in it. It seemed that the explosion was quite powerful.

The material of this sword is quite good.

"Walk."

After saying this, Sheng Shu headed towards the direction where the explosion sounded.

The two little ones are like firefighters, wandering in the deep forest.

Under the leadership of the two, the Konoha ninjas cooperated with each other, and the number of the Iwagakure's assault force was quickly reduced.

Minato made a point of noting down the number; he had already killed twenty-three.

There shouldn't be many of them left.

After fighting for such a long time, those who have not been found yet have either gone far away or have other special hidden abilities.

"This mission isn't difficult."

Rope Tree didn't feel that there was any difficult opponent.

"It's not that the mission is easy, but we have seen too many strong people."

Minato then told the truth, compared to the people they had met.

This Iwagakure ninja unit doesn't even have a single capable person, but this is not the case for ordinary Konoha ninjas.

"That's true."

Before they knew it, the strength of Nawaki and Minato had become extremely outstanding among the jonin.

Unless they encounter an extremely difficult bloodline limit, they can easily win by working together.

If Luo Sha fights the two again, it is still unknown who will win.

The three of them are improving at a very fast pace, and it is only a matter of time before they reach the shadow level.

A few days later, the Konoha team searched the area several times and eliminated more than a dozen Iwa ninjas.

There were no further discoveries afterwards, and this mission was considered a relatively successful conclusion.

The remaining few Iwagakure ninjas could no longer pose any threat to Konoha's supply routes.

The two kids then led the team back to complete the task. There were forty-two people in total who came out, and thirty-five were left when they returned.

If it was just an ordinary jonin leading the team, it would be hard to say how many members of this troop would be able to come back.

As soon as they came back, the two kids felt that the atmosphere in the camp had changed.

A tense atmosphere spread throughout the camp, and they came to Tsunade to report the mission process and results.

"Well done."

After listening to this, Tsunade gave a slightly perfunctory compliment, which was something that had never happened before.

"Sister (Master's wife), what's wrong?"

The two kids guessed that something unfavorable to the current situation had happened.

"The Sand Village also sent out a raiding party, and we suffered casualties on both sides."

"Onoki has deployed more than one unit, and our people have been attacked again."

“The situation is very unfavorable to us right now.”

Tsunade briefly explained the situation, which could be considered as a confession.

Minato thought about it carefully and knew why Tsunade was so troubled.

"The teacher led the team out?"

He was a little surprised not to see Chuan Feng, as the two of them were usually inseparable.

"Yeah, I just went out for a short while."

"There are Iwagakure troops sneaking over nearby."

Tsunade confirmed Minato's guess.

"Sister, let's go first."

Rope Tree pulled Minato out the door, and Minato had no idea what he was planning.

"I have a plan."

As soon as they went out, Nawaki whispered to Minato mysteriously.

"what's the plan?"

What Minato revealed in his eyes was not excitement but doubt. What good plan could this guy have?

"If someone comes to our door, can't we fight back?"

This is a very normal idea for Sheng Shu, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Who doesn't have a raiding party?

This question made Minato think of something. It was indeed feasible, but it still needed further improvement.

The two of them hurriedly ran to the room to study and try to relieve the worries of the master's wife (sister).

Chuan Feng led his men to the place where they fought with the Iwa Ninja.

When they arrived at the place, the Iwa Ninja had already fled and there was no sign of him.

In the end, he had to take the wounded back, which made Chuan Feng very angry.

The Sand Village also followed suit, but they were not as bold as the Iwagakure.

As long as a Konoha team is discovered within the territory of the Rain Country, they will pounce on them.

At this point Konoha began to become very passive, and this small-scale battle was precisely their biggest disadvantage.

There are not enough people, which is an irreparable flaw, and Konoha does not have the ability to create White Zetsu.

Kawakaze and Sakumo successfully annihilated several enemy teams with the help of Flying Thunder God.

But later on, they often encountered Ōnoki and Furufuku, and under the protection of these two people, the losses of the two villages of Iwasa were not great.

In the end, Konoha, which was forced into a corner, launched several large-scale attacks.

But the other party simply does not respond to the challenge. If you come, I will leave, and if you leave, I will fight again.

Chuan Feng seemed to feel the helplessness of Hanzo of the Salamander at that time, because that was how he dealt with the demigod of the ninja world.

The two villages of Yansha seemed to have colluded with each other and decided not to fight Konoha head-on, but to slowly consume Konoha's strength in this way of cannibalization.

Make the most of the numerical advantages of both sides.

As time went by, Konoha's casualties became increasingly severe, and it had begun to shrink its range of activities.

But this can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, and cannot change the current downward trend.
