Chapter 495: The Sand Ninja's Difficult Retreat

Hurriedly issued orders.

The Sand Ninjas gathered at a high speed.

Almost before Wuwei, Shuiyue, Yugao and others in the fortress led the Light Ninjas to fight, the Sand Ninjas retreated westward to the Wind Country according to the established route. Maki, as the fifth generation Wind Shadow, personally led the elite ninjas such as Gaara and Yura to cover the rear. Since the second generation Hokage, Senju Tobirama, this has become the "political correctness" that the major countries recognize that the Shadows should abide by.

Unless you are not on the front line, or it is a normal retreat.

Otherwise.

Once it is a disadvantage or a complete rout, in order to ensure that more companions can return to the village, as a Shadow, you must set an example and cover the rear in person to buy time for your companions. If any Shadow dares to retreat first, his prestige will be greatly impacted.

To put it bluntly, if people can return safely, it is almost difficult to keep the position of Shadow.

The ninja village doesn't need a shadow who can't even protect his companions and flees first.

Maki is very clear about this.

Gaara is the only shadow-level combat force in the Sand Village at present, and he is also a Jinchūriki with large-scale killing capabilities.

He needs to stay and cover the retreat together.

Otherwise, it is not to intercept the opponent, but to directly deliver food to the opponent. Maki is still very confident about his own strength, and any Jinchūriki on the opposite side is not something he can deal with.

"Report to Lord Kazekage, the western troops have retreated."

"Lord Kazekage, the southern troops are retreating alternately."

"Lord Kazekage, the movement trajectory of the light ninjas has been discovered."

"Lord Kazekage..."

After all, the Sand ninjas are still too scattered. Even if the order is passed down, it is really difficult for all ninjas to retreat in unison at once. Therefore, Maki must always grasp the actions of these Sand ninjas, at least to retreat in the same rhythm. If any part is missed, it is very likely to be trapped in the pursuit and encirclement of the light ninjas.

It is almost impossible to retreat without any damage.

But as the Kazekage, Maki must keep the losses to a minimum. His position as the Kazekage is the most unstable one among all the previous Kazekage, whether in terms of strength, prestige, or other aspects.

Based on this.

Maki should consider all aspects more carefully.

"Well, I know, everything is going according to plan, Yura."

Maki nodded, and after continuing to convey some orders, he turned his head to look at Yura on the side with an inquiring look.

"The traps and interception forces have been arranged, and there will be no problem in delaying for a while."

Yura nodded and said with understanding.

"And the support forces must also act according to the plan, alternately covering the retreat of companions on both wings."

Maki said solemnly.

"Yes, Lord Kazekage, don't worry, I will personally organize the support troops."

"Well, that's good, you do the work, I'm at ease!"

If they were all elite troops, there would be no need to worry about the efficiency and discipline of the retreat, but most of the more than 10,000 Sand Ninjas were only weak Genin, which also led to the fact that it would take a lot of time for these ninjas to retreat completely.

The Light Ninja troops led by Wuwei, Yugao, and Shuiyue obviously could not give such time.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

It can be said that when the retreat trajectory of the Sand Ninjas was detected.

Wuwei and others accelerated the pace of pursuit.

There were only less than 2,000 Light Ninja troops, under the command of three people, going to pursue the more than 10,000 Sand Ninja Corps.

But at this moment, the number of people was no longer the focus.

The Sand Ninjas were also unwilling to fight.

All the interception actions were for a better retreat.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!"

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

"Fire Style!"

"Wind Style!"

A series of traps made of detonating tags, kunai, shuriken and other ninja tools were set up in advance. The goal was also very clear, which was to delay the pursuit of the light ninjas.

For a while.

Countless battles broke out in the southwest of the entire Grass Country.

"Boom boom!"

"Bang!"

The chasing light ninjas.

Alternately covering and intercepting the retreating sand ninjas.

"Puff!"

"Ah!?"

Although Maki had made sufficient arrangements.

"Bang!"

"Sizzle!"

"Puff!"

The march and retreat between the troops were also very reasonable, but when it came to the specific route planning, it was not so easy to implement thoroughly. As the saying goes, plans are plans, but if they really need to be implemented and perfectly executed, there are almost no ones who can do it, and the more people there are, the more accidents are likely to occur in the plan.

Especially for such a large-scale army march.

It is difficult for the Genin to retreat according to the established plan.

Although Maki has recruited as many experienced Sand Ninja as possible to participate in this war.

But there will still be some relatively inexperienced ninjas.

Moreover, the Third Ninja World War has been in the past for more than ten years, and the current young generation has never really experienced the trials of blood and fire.

Of course, at this point, the existing light ninjas are at a similar level, but they can't stand up to their high morale, and they can't stand up to the fact that the Jinchuuriki with three Kage levels on the opposite side are leading the team, and they can cover up and kill them endlessly.

Every time the sand ninjas take a step back, they have to pay an extremely heavy price.

Magito personally led Gaara and had a confrontation with the troops commanded by Wuwei who were chasing him from the front.

They could only barely cover the weak genin and retreat first.

But it can withstand it here.

Yu Gao and Suigetsu in other places are in no one's land. Now is not the turn for the Sand Ninja to attack. They can also use fortresses, other strongholds, or even launch threatening offensive actions of invading the hinterland to weaken the Light Ninja. Strong pressure from one side.

It's completely like being beaten passively.

"asshole!"

Count from retreat.

Several hours have passed.

But only the group of Sand Ninjas who initially retreated and were closest to the border returned to the Kingdom of Wind, and the remaining Sand Ninjas were still retreating slowly.

Even the Sand Ninjas in the middle position seemed to be able to retreat easily, but if they really tried to escape, it would mean completely giving up on the last group of Sand Ninjas.

This is something that will not be allowed.

Wuwei, Yu Gao, Shui Yue and others also knew this very well.

It is to bite the tail of the Suna Ninja and cut off the rear personnel.

The sand ninja must pay a more tragic price.

This is the battle damage information gathered again and again.

And the retreat speed that was like a turtle crawling made Ma Ji feel extremely anxious. Looking at the distant position, even though he fell into the leeward for a short time, he could still cling to Gaara very tenaciously. The fourth tail that was incarnated by the inaction of the first tail also showed a very ugly expression on Ma Ji's face.

He had predicted that the Light Ninja side would never let him and others retreat so easily.

But I really didn't expect that the opponent could be so strong.

The reaction is quick enough not to mention it.

He's so brave that he almost suppresses everything.

This was really beyond Ma Ji's expectations. For a moment, Ma Ji planned to counterattack across the board, either to change his mind or simply to severely damage the pursuing troops of the light ninja. In that case, it could ensure that One's own morale, suppressing the momentum of the light ninja, and most importantly, making their subsequent retreat extremely smooth.

It's just that this idea turned around in Ma Ji's mind and then was thrown out of Ma Ji's mind.

If the opponent dares to press forward like this, he must have the corresponding confidence. He has received the news, and the opponent must have received more accurate information about the coalition battlefield earlier than he did. Who knows, the moment he receives the news , reinforcements are already on their way.

This has been delayed for several hours. If the fight continues, once the reinforcements from the opposite side are in place, it will be more difficult for our own troops to retreat, let alone the scary guy Uzumaki Menma.

Don't forget that Guangyin Village possesses the technology of the former Sky Country and has an extremely well-equipped air combat force.

The straight-line distance from Taki Country to Grass Country takes much less time than the ground journey.

Ma Ji was really worried that if he and others delayed here for just a little longer, they would not be able to leave at all.

As long as the first batch of reinforcements comes, there will definitely be follow-up forces to come up.

"We can't fall in love with fighting, and we must not delay it here!"

Marky gritted his teeth.

"Shadow Guard!"

Words shouted loudly.

"yes!"

On both sides.

Some sand ninjas wearing dull colored uniforms filed out.

"Wind Escape - The Art of Vacuum Jade"

"Wind Escape - the art of cutting!"

"Wind Escape—The Technique of Great Breakthrough!"

"Earth Release - Earth Breaking Technique!"

"Earth Escape!"

Unlike Konoha Hidden Village, where almost all ninjas with escape techniques possess them, and the distribution is relatively even, the escape arts attributes possessed by ninjas from the other four major countries almost always match the attributes of their own country.

The most that Sand Ninjas possess is the Ninjutsu with the Wind Release Chakra attribute.

It can be said that almost half of the ninjutsu that the sand ninja knows are wind-type ninjutsu, and the second type of ninjutsu with the chakra attribute is the earth type. The only ninja who can use multiple chakra attributes is Konoha. There are many, and among the other four great ninja villages, they are all rare beings.

Even Markey's direct shadow guards are pretty much the same.

At this moment, the weakest group of sand ninjas had already retreated from this area, and the nearest responding troops also retreated in sequence.

Ma Ji naturally wanted to command the shadow guards to press forward.

Create opportunities for Gaara to open up space.

"Whoosh"

Countless escape techniques that were forced to fly past.

One after another, they bombarded the path of the pursuing light ninjas.

"Peng!"

"Peng"

"Peng!"

The sound of explosions roared one after another, which temporarily hindered the pursuit of the light ninjas. Some of the shadow guards rushed straight to the position close to the battle between the one-tailed and four-tailed ones, assisting Gaara. Launched the most violent attack on the four tails.

"Wind Escape - the art of refining air bullets!"

Seize the slightest gap.

A huge figure retreating.

Ichibi Shukaku also opened his mouth instantly.

"Whoosh"

‘Whoosh’

Several huge invisible air cannons flew out quickly and fiercely bombarded the four-tailed body in the near position.

"Peng!"

Gaara under a changed state of mind.

Although he still cannot become the most perfect Jinchuuriki, he is somewhat recognized by Shukaku. Of course, Shukaku himself will not admit it. In his words, it is, except for the boy Fenfu.

In such a big Sunagakure Village, this boy with dark circles is the only one who is interesting. With a little help from him, I can go out for a walk from time to time. Why not?

Therefore, after such a period of time, it has settled down.

Gaara can also achieve complete tail beast transformation.

With Shukaku's cooperation, almost all of Shukaku's powers can be unleashed.

The front withstood the bombardment.

"!?"

Although Wuwei reacted quickly, with the cooperation of the four-tailed Sun Wukong, he suddenly punched the ground, causing flames to rise directly from the surface.

But it was still a beat slow after all.

Failed to completely stop all air-refining bombs.

The two missed shots suddenly bombarded the huge figure of the four tails, and also sent the four tails flying to the ground behind.

"Shukaku, don't continue to help this human being. Come over here. What the Jinchūriki boy that Kurama is waiting for is indeed true. The Ten-Tails, it is really possible that someone is already working on resuscitation. Then It is very likely that this boy is the person the old man talked about. Come over and help that boy with us. This is also helping ourselves. "

The two jinchūriki were fighting to the death.

in a special spiritual world.

At a certain distance, the tailed beasts can open an 'exclusive chat channel'.

The fourth-tailed Sun Wukong looked at Shukaku in the opposite position with a very serious and serious expression and said.

"Hey!? Can you believe the words of that stinking fox Jinchuriki!? Sun Wukong, what do you think of me!? If you want to believe it, that is your business. I will not accompany you. Now I am leading This little brother is very obedient. I like him very much, but I have no interest in changing my place!"

Shukaku raised his head, with a look of complete distrust, and said in a very sharp tone.

The relationship between the nine tailed beasts is actually not that harmonious.

Especially the relationship between Kurama and Shukaku can be described as the same as water and fire. When Shukaku hears Kyuubi's name, Shukaku will instantly react. How do you expect Shukaku to trust Kurama? That is simply the biggest joke in the world.

At least, Shukaku himself is in such a state right now.

And use the Ten-Tails to scare him? Do you really think he is so easy to deceive? ?

Shukaku said that he would not be fooled by this!
