Chapter 456 Plan B

At the moment when Kotaro Kaguya died, all the nearby Kirigakure ninjas who were paying attention to the fighting here couldn't help but feel their hearts tremble, and the fighting movements seemed to have stopped for a moment.

It is true that most of the ninjas of the Kaguya clan advocate violence, like killing, are bloodthirsty, and even crazy. Even people in the same village do not like them.

But it is undeniable that on the battlefield, they are a symbol of power.

Therefore, many Mist Ninjas regard them as spiritual pillars, especially when there are no other strong people present.

But now, this pillar has fallen.

From this, you can imagine how big a blow the fog suffered?

However, Qing Ming will not pity them. He just wants to take advantage of the other party's illness and take his life.

Therefore, after only staying briefly and taking a breath, Qingming separated from Uchiha Shisui and rejoined another Jonin battlefield.

Looking at his leaving figure and looking at the Konoha ninjas who were still fighting hard around him, Uchiha Shisui sighed softly and joined the ranks of the other Kirigakure jonins.

And with the addition of these two masters, Kirigakure's side can almost be described as defeated.

First, there is the Jonin battlefield.

Facing the siege of more and more Konoha Jonin, they gradually became weak and began to be injured and died frequently.

The defeat of the jounin also caused the morale of the middle and genin to plummet, and they could not exert their 100% strength to 60% to 70%.

On the contrary, the middle genin of Konoha saw the dawn of victory and waved their kunai with a little more force.

Under this situation, Kirigakure's side was retreating steadily.

······

In the valley.

On a big tree.

When Yasuda Qiuju saw this scene, her expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

He originally thought that with the strength of these people under his command, he could hold on for an hour or two?

But now, I can't even hold on for an hour.

This instantly ruined his plan to delay.

Yasuda Akiku's eyes swept across the whole place, passing over the genin of Konoha, and finally settled on Qingming and Uchiha Shisui.

He roughly summarized that there were two reasons for the current situation. One was that Konoha unexpectedly brought most of the ninjas in the Black Stone stronghold over.

And this undoubtedly caught him off guard.

He had thought that Konoha might have an ambush. After all, with Qingming being such a good observer, it was normal to ambush one or two people based on their marching route.

But the key to the problem is that Konoha was so aggressive and really mobilized most of its combat power.

This time, they reached the limit of what they could bear.

This is the second one

They are the two masters Qingming and Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui is just that. Although he has the nickname "Shunshen Shisui" and is not weak, he was pestered by Kotaro Kaguya in the early stage and did not cause much harm to his own ninjas.

But Qing Ming is different.

At the beginning, he killed Ichiro Hase alone.

Afterwards, he joined forces with another Konoha jounin and seriously injured Ito Shohei, causing him to eventually die at the hands of that Konoha jounin.

Later, he faced the siege of Kenta Shimizu and another Kirigakure jounin, severely injuring one person and killing Kenta Shimizu.

This left him with no 'excess' jounin available.

At this point, the situation began to become tense.

After that, Qingming worked non-stop to assist other Konoha jounin, killing three Kirigakure jounin in a row.

At this point, they were completely at a disadvantage.

Just now, he teamed up with Uchiha Shisui to kill their last support - Kaguya Kotaro.

At this point, the last straw appeared for them.

To sum up, it can be said that Qing Ming is the culprit who ruined his plan.

Because of this, Yasuda Qiuju looked at Qingming with eyes filled with hatred.

However, within this hatred, there is also a deep fear.

Obviously, the strength shown by Qing Ming left a deep impression on him.

Forcibly suppressing the irritability in her heart, Yasuda Akiju took a deep breath, then no longer hesitated, and immediately said to the ordering chuunin beside her: "Immediately order all teams to implement plan B."

"Plan B?"

Hearing this, the Kirigakure chuunin was startled and said hesitantly: "Captain, it might be too early to carry out plan B now."

However, before he could finish his words, Yasuda Qiuju interrupted: "Stop talking and execute the order immediately."

"Yes, Captain!"

Hearing Yasuda Qiuju's impatient words, Yokoyama Yukio did not dare to say anything more. After responding, he immediately went down to convey Yasuda Qiuju's instructions.

Looking at his leaving back, Yasuda Qiuju's eyes were deep.

After a long time, he whispered to himself: "Now is the last chance. If we delay further, it will not be as simple as sacrificing some people."

That's right, the so-called Plan B is actually to cut off the tail to survive.

That is, some Mist Ninjas serve as sacrifices and use their lives to prevent the enemy from pursuing them, thereby covering the evacuation of the large force.

There is no doubt that this is a forced plan.

At that time, when making this plan, Yasuda Qiuju didn't even think that it would be useful.

It was just the habit of "thinking about defeat before thinking about victory" that made him formulate such a backup plan.

Bang~

Yasuda Qiuju stretched out her fist and punched the tree trunk next to her, with a look of unwillingness in her eyes.

Unfortunately, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only do this.

Because he knew clearly that his side was doomed. Although he could barely hold on now, it would eventually be a dream.

In this world where great power belongs to oneself, war is indeed related to ordinary ninjas, but in the end, only high-end combat power can determine the outcome.

Now, on their side, the battle between the senior ninjas has completely failed, and dragging it on will only lead to a slow death.

If they do not retreat as soon as possible, even if they can wait for the support of friendly forces, they will not be able to complete the original plan in the end.

That is, cooperate with friendly forces to annihilate the attacking Konoha ninjas.

Therefore, in order to avoid meaningless consumption of his subordinates, he decided to retreat for the time being.

"Inhale~~~ Exhale~~~"

Take a deep breath and then exhale slowly.

Yasuda Akiku calmed down his mood, stopped thinking too much, and concentrated his mind, and began to issue various instructions to prepare for retreat.

·······

Time passed by minute by minute.

Soon, a quarter of an hour passed.

Although the Kirigakure side did not have ninjas as good at "mind-communication" as the Yamanaka clan, they also had their own way to quickly convey orders.

Therefore, although the battlefield was chaotic, they still accurately conveyed Yasuda Akiju's order to everyone who knew "Plan B".

When these people heard the order, they were either disheartened, unwilling, or hysterical.

In short, after a quarter of an hour, all the preparations were completed.

Finally, a shrill whistle sounded in the field.

This was the signal for the plan to start.

Immediately, some of the Kirigakure began to withdraw, while others filled the vacancies they left behind and tried their best to stop the pursuit of the Konoha ninjas.

At first, the Konoha ninjas wanted to chase those who left.

But when the remaining Kirigakure used chakra regardless of consumption, and performed various ninjutsu on a large scale and at a high frequency to attack them, they gave up the pursuit.

It is for this reason that Kirigakure's Plan B was successful.

Although some of the Mist Ninjas who were supposed to retreat failed to do so, most of the people in the plan escaped safely.

And that was enough.

Yasuda Akiku looked at the people around him, without any nonsense, and directly ordered: "Retreat!"

After that, he took the lead and rushed forward.

Seeing this, the others immediately followed.

Soon, the Mist Ninjas disappeared from the sight of the Konoha ninjas.

And the direction they left was the direction of the Black Stone Stronghold, which was the other end of the valley.

That's right, these evacuated Mist Ninjas did not choose to return to Feiyu Town, but continued to move forward, walked out of the valley, and ran towards the Black Stone Stronghold.

Obviously, Yasuda Akiku has not given up, or this is part of Plan B.

Indeed, Plan B is to cut off the tail and survive, but it is not to withdraw directly, but to first meet with another team of Mist Ninjas, and then attack Konoha's Black Stone Stronghold together.
