With these three approaches, we will surely win this battle!
Not only will we win, but we can also defeat the Kingdom of Thunder in one fell swoop!
"You are the commander-in-chief, and I have to listen to you. Hurry up and give the orders!" Jiraiya stood up, "I can't wait any longer..."
"It has been almost half a year since the war began. It is time to settle a battlefield and give the village a break."
Jiraiya raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Konoha. After fighting for such a long time, he was also tired.
"Don't worry, teacher. We can definitely succeed this time!"
Namikaze Minato was full of confidence and shouted outside the tent, "Captains of each team, come in for a meeting!"
……
Land of Lightning, Hidden Cloud Village, inside the Raikage Building.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Kakashi, who was collecting the spoils, looked up and asked, "Is there a new order from Minato-sensei?"
"There are indeed new orders..."
Hatake Akira crushed the note in his hand into powder, "But I didn't expect that after Minato-sensei became the commander of an army, he actually became a bit sinister."
"...sly?" Kakashi tilted his head, "Minato-sensei has always been sunny."
"That's for our own people." Hatake Akira tapped Kakashi's forehead, "But when it comes to dealing with enemies, Minato-sensei is not gentle at all, and now he's even more sinister."
Without keeping Kakashi in suspense, Akira Hatake told Kakashi the order that Minato Namikaze had given him.
"This... is indeed a very... big change." Kakashi didn't know what to say, and his intermittent expressions were a little messy.
"Then let's follow the teacher's orders and take out five days to raid the Hidden Cloud Village, giving the frontline troops of the Hidden Cloud Village more time to react."
He kicked the intelligence scrolls piled on the ground and said, "Leave these here for now. Come back and pick them up on the last day."
"But what if they destroy it?" Kakashi asked worriedly.
"It's destroyed. To be honest, I don't really care about these information scrolls." Hatake Akira didn't care much. "What I really care about is the Sealed Book of the Hidden Cloud Village."
"The Book of Seals?!" Kakashi's eyes lit up, "This is the foundation of the Hidden Cloud Village! We must get it!"
"I think you are interested in the secret of the Hidden Cloud Village?"
As soon as Kakashi opened his mouth, Hatake Akira could tell what Kakashi was thinking.
If there is any ability in the Hidden Cloud Village that can make Kakashi salivate now, there is basically no other possibility except the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Although the Lightning Chakra Mode is only a mode of Lightning Chakra Ninjutsu, if you look at it in detail, the range of aspects covered by this mode is astonishing.
The first step is to use Lightning Chakra to strengthen your body, which is similar to a weakened version of the Eight Gates.
Although it is far less powerful than the Eight Gates, the key is that it has no side effects and is a permanent improvement.
The second is the Lightning Release Armor under the Lightning Release Chakra mode, which has strong defensive power and is one of the very rare comprehensive defensive ninjutsu in the ninja world.
Moreover, the defensive power of the Lightning Release Armor is among the best in the ninja world.
Although its defensive power is not as good as the Uchiha clan's complete Susanoo, as long as it is not the third stage or above Susanoo, the Lightning Release Armor can still compete with it.
Finally, there is the function of body activation.
The strength of the Sandaime Raikage and his son A is obvious to all, and they can even compete slightly with the Flying Thunder God Technique in terms of speed.
Moreover, the activated body can greatly increase a person's nerve reaction speed. Because of this, Minato Namikaze suffered losses in front of the AB combination.
As long as Kakashi can learn and master the Lightning Release Chakra mode, his strength will increase again.
Not only Kakashi, but also Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato can further improve their strength.
The most crucial thing is that after seizing the Sealed Book of the Hidden Cloud Village, this great achievement must at least allow Hatake Akira or Kakashi to choose two or three ninjutsu from the Sealed Book of Konoha, and they must be those without restrictions!
This kind of temptation is irresistible to almost everyone, not to mention Kakashi.
"Brother, should we give chase?" Kakashi licked his lips, "I think the Sealed Book of the Hidden Cloud Village is on those old guys who escaped first."
"Don't worry, as long as the Hidden Cloud Village is still there, the Sealed Book of the Hidden Cloud Village will not disappear."
Hatake Akira didn't agree, "Let's wait for Uncle Hizashi and the others to come, and then we'll follow the teacher's orders and retreat first."
"Ok!"
Kakashi nodded, sat cross-legged on the ground, and waited for Hyuga Hizashi and the others to arrive with Hatake Akira.
Chapter 179: The Six Paths Sacred Artifact hidden in the bottom of the Cloud Village. (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"coming?"
Akira Hatake and Kakashi didn't have to wait long before all the members of the surprise attack squadron arrived.
"Uncle Hizashi, what's wrong with you?"
The sharp-eyed Hatake Akira glanced around and keenly noticed that Hinata Hizashi was covering his left arm with one hand, with blood occasionally oozing from his fingertips.
"Nothing, just someone accidentally got into trouble."
Hinata Hizashi felt a little embarrassed. Among the surprise attack squadron, he seemed to be the only ninja with the strength of a jonin who was injured.
Although it was only a minor injury, Hyuga Hizashi, who boasted that his family was the number one eye technique family in the ninja world, felt somewhat embarrassed.
The main reason is that Hyuga Hizashi was treated differently this time. Whenever the Cloud Ninja met him, they always thought of getting rid of Hyuga Hizashi first.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Perception, medical, and auxiliary ninjas are always the enemy ninjas' priority targets.
"Let's get treatment."
Hatake Akira cast his gaze towards the medical ninja in the assault squadron, who instantly understood and took a step forward to stand in front of Hyuga Hizashi, with the unique green light of the Palm Fairy Technique lighting up in his palms.
Hinata Hizashi was indeed only slightly injured, and the wound on his arm had scabbed and healed in a short while.
Seeing that Hinata Hizashi's injuries were almost healed, Hatake Akira repeated Namikaze Minato's orders.
"Minato-sensei was appointed by the Sandaime Hokage today to be the commander of the northeastern defense force of the Land of Fire."
"And just now, Minato-sensei has decided to lead a large force to attack the retreating Kumogakure ninja frontline troops."
"According to Minato-sensei's latest order, we will launch raids on the Hidden Cloud Village for five consecutive days, attempting to create greater anxiety and casualties within the Hidden Cloud Village."
Akira Hatake said something quickly, "Does everyone understand?"
"understand!"
"Then everyone come over here." Hatake Akira nodded and waved at them.
The members of the surprise attack squadron were very obedient. As soon as Hatake Akira finished speaking, they took steps forward in unison and formed a circle around Hatake Akira and Kakashi.
After everyone stood in place, Hatake Akira threw out eight Flying Thunder God Kunai, covering the eight directions around everyone.
The Flying Thunder God Mark covering the Flying Thunder God Kunai spread downwards, and soon it meandered along the ground. A huge Flying Thunder God Mark was stepped on by everyone.
When the marks were completely connected from beginning to end, Hatake Akira activated the Flying Thunder God barrier. As a shadow flashed by, all the members of the surprise attack squadron disappeared in the Raikage Building.
When the scene flashed again, the members of the surprise attack squadron had arrived at a mountain stream, which was where they had been hiding before.
"Let's take a break. We will continue tomorrow and try to create more pressure on the Hidden Cloud Village!"
"Yes!"
After the response, the Konoha ninjas of the surprise attack squadron each performed their duties, some setting up defensive traps, some keeping watch everywhere.
As the captain now, Akira Hatake naturally doesn't need to participate in it. He just needs to conserve his energy.
Kakashi did the same. He held the ninja sword Bu Xue and found a big tree, then sat down cross-legged without saying a word.
Akira Hatake naturally followed and huddled together with Kakashi without saying a word.
Kakashi also didn't say anything. He leaned closer to Hatake Akira and closed his eyes.
Seeing Kakashi like this, Akira Hatake naturally didn't make small talk, so he closed his eyes and took a nap.
Even though Hatake Akira was only in a supporting position during the raid on the Hidden Cloud Village just now, to be honest, Hatake Akira, who led the team all the way, was also seriously exhausted.
After all, after becoming the captain of the surprise attack squadron, the life and death of the members of the surprise attack squadron fell on Akira Hatake's shoulders alone, and he had too many things to worry about.
Since the members of the surprise attack squadron each have their own responsibilities, Hatake Akira will not be polite and will take a rest when it is time to do so.
But this puts a lot of hard work on the Konoha ninjas in the surprise attack squadron.
Similarly, after Hatake Akira and a group of Konoha ninjas evacuated, the interior of the Hidden Cloud Village instantly fell into chaos.
……
"I don't agree to evacuate!"
The third elder blew his beard and glared at the first elder. He still remembered that the other party had snatched the sealed book from him.
"We must evacuate!" The Great Elder of the Hidden Cloud Village was not to be outdone, "If the Konoha Twins can break through our defenses head-on once, they can break through our defenses a second time!"
"If we don't evacuate and transfer all the important documents as soon as possible, what will we do if the Konoha Twins come to attack us again?"
What the Great Elder said made sense, and he was worried about more than just this.
Although Hatake Akira and Kakashi retreated suddenly, because of this, the Great Elder guessed their purpose almost exactly.
Only by evacuating everyone and turning the Hidden Cloud Village into an empty shell can Konoha's conspiracy be crushed.
At worst, we can hide in the mountains and streams for a while and endure some hardships. In any case, we cannot let these things affect the morale of the frontline troops of the Hidden Cloud Village.
"Do you think that evacuating the village is just a matter of your words?"
The second elder looked very negative and spoke weakly, "There are too many residents in the village. If we evacuate with them, we will be too conspicuous. Besides, we can't just abandon them."
There is nothing wrong with what the Second Elder said. There are only three reasons for the existence of ninjas.
One is to perform various tasks, the second is to protect various people, and the third is to realize one's own value.
The villagers of the Hidden Cloud Village are the ones that the Cloud Ninjas cannot abandon at any cost.
"What...what should I do?"
The Great Elder looked worried. Even though he had guessed the reason behind the sudden retreat of Hatake Akira and others, he was helpless now that he was faced with a choice.
"We can only recall our frontline troops..."
"But... once the order is issued... the morale of the troops on the front lines will be disrupted!"
