Chapter 184 He is anxious
The battlefield of the alliance between Konoha and Iwagakure and Kusagakure is located in the Country of Grass.
There is no way, small countries have no choice. The battlefields of Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure are generally the Country of Grass, the Country of Rain, the Country of River, and the Country of Taki.
Among them, the River Kingdom is bordered by the Fire Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom, the Rain Kingdom is next to the Grass Kingdom, and is sandwiched by the Wind Kingdom, the Earth Kingdom, and the Fire Kingdom.
The country of Taki borders on the country of iron, the country of fire, the country of grass, and the country of earth.
If Cao Yin had not been involved, there would still be a little suspense about the choice of battlefield, but since he was involved, there would be no suspense at all.
Of course, even if Kusakure is not involved, the battlefield will most likely still be the Country of Grass, but Kusakure Village is not within the attack range.
The village of Takigakure in the country of Taki is hidden by a huge waterfall, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is also the tailed beast Nanao in the village, and the big country doesn't want to provoke it unless necessary.
The Kingdom of Rain has Hanzo in charge, and its strength is the best among the small countries. It can be called the overlord of the small countries. Obviously, there is no Caoshan Village to provoke.
As for the River Country, it has no border with the Earth Country at all.
If Iwagakure wants to send troops, they have to travel through the entire Rain Country or through the entire Grass Country and half of the Rain Country. Obviously, that is not necessary.
Orochimaru and Gen Uchiha led the Konoha ninja troops to intercept the Iwagakure and Kusugaku coalition forces at the eastern border of the Country of Grass.
There is no way, the Kusanagi dare not invade the Land of Fire without a big leg. If they are defeated, the price they have to pay to gain Konoha's forgiveness will be very high.
The Country of Grass serves as a buffer zone for big countries and a battlefield for big countries. Although it has been devastated, it also has its own unique way of survival.
Both Iwagakure and Konoha have become accustomed to Kusagakure's characteristics as a wallflower, and their punishments are measured and will not completely force them towards each other.
The time when the two forces met was probably about the same time as the first head-on collision between Kumogakure and Konoha.
Before the encounter, the sensing ninjas on both sides noticed the enemy's movements, and the commanders of both sides immediately ordered the transformation of the marching formation into a combat formation.
After receiving the order, the ninjas on both sides quickly adjusted their formations, then charged collectively, and finally threw kunai, shuriken, and kunai suffixed with detonating charms at each other at the appropriate distance.
Since Kusagakure deployed some of his forces to help Iwagakure, Iwagakure had more troops and the attack was naturally more intensive.
However, this gap was smoothed out by Orochimaru and Gen Uchiha's joint use of large-scale wind release ninjutsu.
Bang, bang, bang...
A series of detonating symbols exploded in the formations of both sides, and balls of fire exploded. Each ninja was hit by the ninja tool, screaming in agony, and blood bloomed on his body. Some were dead or injured, and the ordinary grassland instantly turned into a purgatory on earth.
Onlookers may feel pity and sympathy, but the ninjas on the battlefield only have boiling murderous intent towards their own kind, and each one starts their attacks more ruthlessly than the other.
Orochimaru's opponent is the Five-Tailed Jinchūriki.
This person wears a special pair of red steam armor, a bamboo hat on his head, and half of his face is covered by a black mask.
Unlike the four-tailed jinchuriki Lao Zi who doesn't get along with Ōnoki, the five-tailed jinchuuriki Han is a staunch supporter of Ōnoki and has made countless contributions to Iwagakure Village.
After hard training from childhood to the present, Han has been able to control the five tails skillfully, which is to the extent that the golden-bodied Naruto can seize the tailed beast chakra and skillfully control the tailed beast chakra.
The five-tailed King Mu is known for his physical strength among the tailed beasts, and the same goes for Han who is skilled in his power.
The earth escape ninjutsu of Iwagakure Village plays more of a supporting role in Han. What this person is really good at is his physical skills!
At this current stage of time, the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki Han is said to be one of the best taijutsu masters in the world.
Regardless of strength, movement speed, reaction speed, and combat experience, he is very powerful. Ordinary ninjutsu will break in front of him, and he is completely vulnerable.
In terms of comprehensive Taijutsu ability, only the fourth generation Raikage Ai can surpass him.
Orochimaru's taijutsu is also quite powerful, but he doesn't dare to go head-to-head with the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki. He mainly fights with ninjutsu and illusion.
Today's Orochimaru has not completely transformed his body into a dehumanized body, and is far from being able to recover quickly after being chopped in half by Naruto who turned into a tailed beast.
Uchiha Gen's opponent is Iwagakure's commander Huang Tu, a ninja who performed very well in the four battles in the original book.
He wears a red ninja hat with a big nose, a simple and honest face, and a huge build. He wears a tight-fitting red combat uniform with a brown jounin mail on the outside. He wears a long red sleeve on his left arm and exposes his right arm. arm.
Although Huangtu's taijutsu is not as powerful as Han's, it is still ranked high in the ninja world. Combined with the extremely skilled rock fist technique, he once knocked the golden horn that turned into a tailed beast away with one punch.
Compared to Loess whose body is fully developed, the power of Uchiha Xuanron whose body is still developing is naturally no match.
However, Uchiha Gen relied on the insight of the Sharingan and the superb teleportation technique to avoid the real situation and fight flexibly, so he did not fall behind.
No matter how powerful the power is, it is of no use if it cannot hit anyone. Although Loess is fast among jounin, its speed cannot threaten Uchiha Gen.
In addition to Loess, there is also a Iwagakure Jonin to assist in the attack and prevent Loess from being hit by genjutsu.
It is best not to fight alone against the strong men of the Uchiha clan. This is common sense that knowledgeable ninjas know.
Gen Uchiha has experienced the Third Ninja World War, the small-scale war in the Country of Whirlpool, and the small-scale war in the Country of Tian. He is no longer an unknown person in the Ninja World.
The genius of the Uchiha clan, the disciple of Orochimaru, and the deputy commander of Konoha's three divisions, Iwagakure would be a fool if he didn't take him seriously.
In fact, Iwagakure attaches great importance to it, especially Ohnoki, a person who was left with a psychological shadow by Uchiha Madara.
Before Loess's expedition, Ohnoki specifically asked his son to strangle Uchiha Gen as much as possible when he encountered him.
It was enough for one Uchiha Madara to appear in Konoha, and Onoki didn't want to see the second one appear at all.
After adapting to the attacking rhythm of Loess and the others, Gen Uchiha sent Zhu Rong out to help after he felt that the problem was not big.
Because there are fewer people, the Konoha ninjas are at a disadvantage as a whole.
Under Gen Uchiha's order, Zhu Rong focused on attacking the grass ninja. As long as the grass ninja retreated, the morale of the rock ninja would be affected to some extent.
This time Orochimaru and Uchiha Gen's battle strategy was different from before. It was no longer a heavy-handed beating, but to let Iwagakure retreat and carry out normal war procedures.
Not surprisingly, Iwagakure should be the last ninja village to attack Konoha. After this village, there will be no such store.
By then Uchiha Gen will not be able to find a place on the battlefield that is so convenient for harvesting souls, and Orochimaru will not be able to collect experimental materials so conveniently.
In addition, Orochimaru believed that Konoha's top brass would never do peach picking again, and Uchiha Gen expected Konoha's top brass to do something like peach picking.
With the thought of cherishing it, the master and the apprentice made a tacit understanding to postpone the bad time point.
It is absolutely necessary to show off, so as to prolong the war, so when we meet, we must hold back and fight.
Giving the Iwagakure and Kusagakure coalition forces too much of a blow will undoubtedly affect their confidence and shorten the duration of the war.
Therefore, Uchiha Gento did not send out the high-level Homiz Qianliang who had restrained Earth Release. Even if he stopped fighting, he would still use it as a trump card for the decisive battle later.
Compared with the ninjas of the five major ninja villages, the quality of the grass ninja was indeed worrying. He could no longer hold on after being targeted by Zhu Rong.
There is also a reason why the grass ninja captain who led the team did not want to lose too much.
They followed Yanyin Village because of profit and because they wanted to take advantage of it, and it was impossible to lose their original capital.
The retreat of the Grass Ninja did have some impact on the morale of the Iwa Ninja, but it was not significant. After all, the Iwa Ninja knew the virtues of the Grass Ninja.
However, without the help of the Grass Ninja, the Iwa Ninja would not have the upper hand, and would become slightly disadvantaged as time went by.
Iwagakure Village likes violent tactics and sends out ninjas with tens of thousands at every turn. This results in the individual quality of Iwagakure. The quality of the team is not outstanding among the five major ninja villages, and can only be regarded as average.
The individual soldier quality and team quality of Konohagakure ninjas are the best in the ninja world. If the number of people is about the same, Iwagakure Village will naturally suffer.
Seeing that Han couldn't do anything to Orochimaru, and he couldn't do anything to Uchiha Gen, and the more the fight continued, the more he suffered, Huang Tu decisively ordered to retreat.
Iwagakure retreated in an orderly manner. Orochimaru and Gen Uchiha had no intention of pursuing them at all and watched Iwagakure leave.
After Iwagakure left, a cordon was set up to prevent Iwagakure from making a counterattack, and Konoha began to clean up the battlefield.
After the battlefield was cleaned, Konoha began to choose a suitable place to construct the camp, and Iwagakure also began to construct the camp.
The initial construction of the camp was completed in one day, and the two sides sent out their men the next day to start a months-long fight.
The battlefield in Tianzhiguo was fierce and no progress was made.
The battlefield in the Kingdom of Grass was also fiercely fought. Although it was not a complete advance, it was also advancing extremely slowly.
In the two battlefields, huge amounts of military expenditures were flowing out every month, and Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly became anxious...
