Chapter 262 Chapter 262 The Escape of Dust

Two days have passed, and the heavy rain has only lightened up a little.

Konoha's ninjas are stationed in the surrounding areas of Amegakure Village, and only high-level personnel are eligible to enter and exit freely.

After all, it is impossible no matter how you think about it, a large-scale army of 7,000 people all lives in someone else's village.

After staying in Amegakure Village for a week, Quan Nai also became accustomed to remembering to wear a hat to protect her head from the rain every time she went out.

"Lord Izuna! The stronghold has been recaptured, but I'm sorry that the leader of the stronghold, Lie, was not killed or arrested. This is the first time we have witnessed his explosive escape."

Arriving at the successful stronghold, Kaguya Butori knelt on one knee behind Izuna and lowered his head to report.

Quan Nai glanced at the situation in the stronghold town, and there were quite obvious signs of battle.

And quite a few of them are traces of explosions.

Escape?

His ninjutsu may have provided a lot of inspiration for Deidara's explosive clay ninjutsu in later generations.

"That's all, at least it's the result of a victory in the first battle. What are the losses on both sides?"

Izuna was too lazy to continue to investigate Kaguya's disadvantage, and instead asked about the situation of the battle.

"yes,"

Kaguya Takeri stood up and responded: "Our assault force did not suffer much losses, because the force of the explosive escape force was caught off guard and only lost about thirty people, while the opponent lost nearly four hundred people before they managed to escape. ,only……"

"Just what?"

Izuna asked with narrowed eyes.

Hyuga Genzheng stood up and said with a look of remorse: "Sir Izuna, our main army suffered great losses. Although there was no direct battle and we immediately withdrew after completing the suppression of the stronghold, we still lost more than two hundred people. .”

"how so?"

Quan Nai said in a rather cold tone.

"Yes, this is because a ninja named "Nu" developed a new ninjutsu that transcends the limits of blood successors, called "blood successor elimination", which seems to be also called dust escape."

Hinata Gensei explained: "This ninjutsu is extremely terrifying. Whenever it touches it, it will turn into a particle-like object like nothingness in an instant. If we hadn't evacuated in time, and the chakra required for that move seems to be very large. , I’m afraid, we will lose more people..."

Another ninja from the Hyuga branch said beside him: "And according to rumors, that 'Nu' seems to have been designated as the second generation Tsuchikage after the first generation Tsuchikage Ishikawa, and is the second master of Iwagakure Village."

"Chen Escape? Another extremely troublesome technique."

Izuna was thoughtful.

He was quite familiar with the power of Chen Dun, especially when the Five Shadows joined forces to deal with the dirty dirt spots in later generations, Chen Dun played a key role.

Shaking his head, Quan Na waved his hand and ordered: "Rebuild the stronghold first. Although we have won this first battle, the opponent's foundation is far from being damaged."

"yes!"

Several people responded at the same time and began to divide the work to convey orders.

The camp was officially set up here.

…

Almost at the same time, they were forty miles away from Izuna's stronghold.

The Kingdom of Earth is close to the border base of the Kingdom of Rain.

After Rei, who was leading more than a hundred remnant soldiers and was riddled with scars, settled down, the first Tsuchikage Ishikawa frowned and said fiercely: "Konoha! You are really despicable!"

A peak jounin next to him said: "Lord Tsuchikage, although we lost more than 400 people this time, the opponent also lost nearly 300 people. The difference is not big. We are still in a favorable situation."

Shi He waved his hand, he didn't need this kind of comfort.

"Fortunately, this time, I was able to catch Konoha off guard with my dust escape. Otherwise, not only would we have lost so many people, but Konoha would have regained a stronghold in vain."

Shi He put his hands behind his back as if sighing.

"Lord Tsuchikage, there seems to be a ninja who is very good at strategy in Konoha. As far as my subordinates know, it is most likely Uchiha Izuna. He was known as the mastermind of the Uchiha clan when he was a boy. '."

Another Jōnin from the Tsuchikage Guards said: "Not only is he powerful, he is also extremely good at conspiracy. Many ninjas in the Land of Fire have suffered losses at his hands, so we have to guard against him."

Shi He touched his beard, nodded in agreement, and then asked the others: "In your opinion, what is the best next step?"

"Lord Tsuchikage, I think we should use our greatest advantage now."

A staff officer said: "Now it's not just us, Sunagakure is also putting pressure on the country of Rain from the south, forming a two-sided attack. We can write a letter asking Sunagakure to transport Konoha to Uchiha Izuna of Raingakure. Their logistics channels are cut off,

Once there is a problem with logistics, no matter how powerful the ninja army is, serious problems will occur in a short period of time. During this period, we, Iwagakure, tried our best to hold back Uchiha Izuna so that he had no time to care about what was behind him. "

Ishikawa nodded and said: "Well, by the way, send the intelligence ninja to investigate Kumogakure's plan, and inform Kirigakure that it's time for them to take action. It would be too unfair for only Iwagakure and his family to take action. ”

"yes!"

Immediately, a Jonin from Iwagakure took the order and went out to start doing things according to the Tsuchikage's orders.

"The first force to officially attack Konoha, Tsuchikage-sama, who do you think is best to lead?"

The staff officer asked again.

Since he wanted to prevent Uchiha Izuna from paying attention to Sunagakure, he naturally had to take the initiative.

The first Tsuchikage Ishikawa thought for a while and finally decided: "Let Wu lead the way."

As the person who is second only to himself in Iwagakure Village and the man designated as the second generation Tsuchikage, Ishikawa has great expectations for Muzu.

He believes that even Uchiha Izuna, who is known as the "Emperor of the Ninja World", has the ability to fight against him.

…

Rumble, rumble——

The setting sun of a new day has not yet completely climbed over the horizon.

Quan Na in the room sensed an extremely exaggerated amount of chakra energy coming from about twenty miles away.

There were about four thousand... no, more than five thousand people.

Sure enough, when Izuna put on her armor and walked out of the door, one of Hinata's ninjas on duty ran up to her at a very fast speed, his eyes still in a white-eyed state with blue veins popping out.

"Lord Izuna! The Iwagakure army is attacking from the front! It is now twenty-three kilometers away, led by the former Dust Release user!"

"Oh? The future second-generation Tsuchikage? Interesting."

Izuna smiled slightly, "Give me the order! Raise the warning flag! Iwagakure ninjas are very good at changing the terrain with earth escape, let the Hatake clan be the first charge force!"

Dong dong dong——

The sound of drums indicating the enemy's attack sounded, and the Konoha ninjas in the stronghold town gathered as quickly as possible.

Quan Nai stood in front of the town gate, at the front of the square formation. He raised his right hand high and spread his palm. After three seconds, he waved downwards heavily.
