Chapter 98 Deadlock
On the other side, Ye Cang brought four shadow guards and they cooperated very well.
Those who can become Shadow Guards are the elite among the Jonin.
The five of them successfully blocked Sakumo's attack.
Flying Thunder God did not have a very good effect as they consciously stayed away from it.
Sakumo, who has already opened four of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, has not yet caused any kill since the fight.
He even suffered some minor injuries due to the Burning Escape.
The conditions of both sides have deteriorated. Ye Cang and the shadow guards are all injured and look nervous.
He took out several military pills from his ninja tool bag and put them in his mouth, crushing one and swallowing it to replenish the consumed chakra.
Sakumo kept moving, and at this moment a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Swordsmanship, breaking through the air."
A streak of green light slashed towards one of the shadow guards with a sound of breaking through the air.
"Earth escape, earth flow wall."
"Wind Style, Wind Blade."
"Scorch Escape, Steam Kill."
The rest of the people quickly came to support, and Shuomao's attack narrowly missed the shadow guard's ear.
One ear fell to the ground, and in an attempt to dodge the ninjutsu, Sakumo's attack missed again.
The ninjas from both sides were still fighting fiercely on the battlefield, and screams were heard every moment.
The war lasted from dawn to dusk before both sides withdrew.
Leaving behind blood and corpses all over the ground.
As night fell and the moonlight shone on the desert, giant scorpions feasted on the battlefield.
The Sand Ninjas and Konoha were both resting in the camp and had no time to care about the bodies of their comrades.
"The Kazekage didn't go into battle today. He must be leading his men to our supply line."
Tsunade and Sakumo were eating a sumptuous dinner together. After a day of fighting, both of them looked tired.
Shukaku did not hide until the truce. At noon, he took the initiative to come out and continue fighting with Tsunade.
Shukaku and Tsunade, who were always alert to their weak points, were unable to do anything to each other and the game ended in a draw.
Until the truce, Sakumo had not been able to kill anyone, and he felt extremely frustrated.
"Fortunately, Chuan Feng has already gone there. He won't succeed."
Sakumo has confidence in Kawakaze, even though his opponent is the Third Kazekage, who is known as the "strongest Kazekage".
"That kid is very ruthless, don't worry."
Nanao muttered again inside Tsunade.
As for the Sand Ninja, Fenfuku was meditating in the house, recuperating with his eyes closed.
Ye Cang presided over the meeting.
"Hatake Kawai Kaede of Konoha did not show up today. I'm afraid he has discovered the Third Hokage's intentions."
"We can only try our best to hold back the ninjas of Konoha so that they can't provide support."
Ye Cang's face was a little pale. She had been injured a lot in the battle with Sakumo. Both brothers were equally difficult to deal with.
"Both sides suffered heavy losses in today's battle."
"We can only hope that the Third Master will return victorious soon."
The intelligence chief counted today's battle losses and was heartbroken.
"Master Fenfu, can you still hold on?"
One of the shadow guards was a little worried because he saw Shukaku being kicked away today.
It was so shocking that my anus tightened.
"I am still okay."
Fenfu was too embarrassed to open his eyes, and the Shukaku in his body almost wanted to jump out and give this shadow guard a slap in the ear.
Who are you looking down on?
"Everyone, go to bed early and we'll fight again tomorrow."
Ye Cang hurriedly ended the meeting and everyone left.
At dawn the next day, the battle between Konoha and the Sand Ninja started again.
Tsunade continued to fight Shukaku, and Sakumo faced Hakura and the five Kage Guards.
After yesterday's fierce battle, both sides were a bit cautious today.
The fight was far less intense than yesterday. Perhaps they were all waiting for news from the other side.
Two days passed in a flash, and there was more blood on the battlefield.
Chuan Feng has already joined the supply troops and is heading towards the garrison point.
The Third Kazekage also brought his men to wait at the ambush point.
"Teacher, will people from the Sand Village come again?"
Mizuto and Nawaki were both beside Kawakaze, and behind them was a long convoy.
Everyone remained alert to prevent any accidents from happening.
Several members of the Hyuga clan took turns using their Byakugan to investigate, not daring to slack off for even a moment.
"Wouldn't it be better if you didn't come?"
Chuan Feng smiled slightly, and he hadn't found any suspicious figures yet.
“But it’s so boring.”
Rope Tree followed Minato, as if expecting to encounter something.
"Can't you just hope for something good?"
Chuan Feng glared at him.
"I did not mean that."
Sheng Shu reacted and explained with a wry smile.
"Okay, be alert."
Chuan Feng said no more and continued to lead his troops forward at a slow pace.
Another day passed, and the Sand Ninja and Konoha were exhausted after days of fighting.
They all chose to cease fire and anxiously waited for news from the other side.
The spies sent out fought openly and secretly, with each winning and losing, but they did not get any news.
Sand Ninja Camp.
"Zhongming is so pissed off that I'm dying."
Shukaku was roaring inside Fenfuku's body, and he didn't gain any advantage after fighting for several days.
When they were kids, Nanao was no match for him.
"Don't blame the uneven road if you can't do it."
Fenfuku was already a little overwhelmed, as Shukaku used to always brag to him about how powerful he was.
After this fight, Fenfu seriously doubted the truth in his words.
"It's because that woman is too strong, not because I am incompetent."
How could Shukaku admit that he was weak? He roared inside Fenfuku's body and wanted to go to the battlefield for another battle.
The dust in the house rose without wind.
"Master Fenfu, please control it."
Ye Cang knew that it was Shukaku's fault. Her face was as pale as paper, and the shadow guards looked like eggplants hit by frost.
"it is good."
After Fenfuku agreed, he said some soft words to calm Shukaku down.
"There is still no news from Lord Fengying. It is not a good idea to continue fighting like this."
A Sand Ninja couldn't help but speak. Even though it was the Sand Ninja's home ground, the casualties were heavy.
"We will have a truce today, but we will continue our attack until Master Kazekage returns."
Ye Cang resolutely followed the orders of the Third Kazekage.
"Ah~"
All the Sand Ninjas sighed. What else could they do? They could only pray that the Kazekage would return soon.
In the Konoha camp, Tsunade's expression was also somewhat solemn. The Sand Ninja was not as easy to bully as imagined.
The fighting has been difficult these days, with only casualties and no substantial progress.
She was a little exhausted from having to treat the wounded every day after the war and worrying about the supply routes.
"Don't think too much. The Sand Ninja is not feeling well either."
"When Chuan Feng comes back, Dai will surely recover in a few days."
Sakumo has a better mentality than Tsunade. Once Dai, the new force, joins, the balance of victory will tilt.
"That's what the elder brother said."
"According to the timeline, Dai should be recovering soon."
Tsunade understood Dai's injuries best, and after Sakumo's persuasion, her mood eased somewhat.
"Have a good rest. The fight should start again tomorrow."
After Shuomao finished speaking, Chongming perked up.
He had been punished by Tsunade for being too noisy, but his nature could not be curbed.
"Tomorrow I'm going to give Shukaku a good slap."
The guy who is most excited about the battle in the past few days is this guy.
I was bullied when I was a kid, and now I feel good just thinking about fighting back.
"you shut up."
Tsunade yelled, startling Sakumo.
Fortunately, he knew that this was not said to himself.
"I'm leaving now, so just be gentle."
Shuomao held up his forehead protector and stood up to leave. His Naxue was still as gentle as ever.
