Chapter 170: The Hidden Mist Village's Counterattack
Chapter 170: The Hidden Mist Village’s Counterattack (Part and )
"Tsunade-sama, how is my teacher now?"
Hinata Kamado asked hurriedly when he saw Tsunade finished the operation.
"He's fine, he just lost too much blood and fell into a coma."
Tsunade shook her head and explained, "Biwa Juzo's beheading sword has the ability to absorb blood."
"Thank you, Tsunade-sama!"
Hinata Karakane heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Teacher, do we still need to continue with the mission?"
Hanekawa asked after they finished talking.
"We have already alerted the enemy. The camp in the Hidden Mist Village will most likely be relocated. There is no point in continuing."
Tsunade changed the subject and laughed, "Besides, killing Biwa Juuzou and Kurochu Raiga is more valuable than this mission."
"Indeed."
Hanekawa was slightly startled, then he understood.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are front-line commanders, with the same status as Tsunade.
Now that two people have died, the loss to the Hidden Mist Village is far greater than the destruction of any supply point or outpost.
After all, there are only a handful of such elite jonin in the five major villages.
Although in Hanekawa's opinion, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are a bit weak.
"Huo Men, you guys take charge of Hyuga Ce, let's go back to the camp."
Tsunade instructed.
"Yes."
Hinata Kamado and another teammate lifted up the unconscious Hinata Ce.
The group returned along the same route.
Two hours later, they returned to the camp.
"Tsunade-sama, what's going on?"
Nara Suzaku, who stayed behind in the camp, hurried over to greet them.
When he saw Hinata Ce, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
In his opinion, two jonin, one of whom was one of the three great ninjas of Konoha, would not be seriously injured to this extent.
"We met Biwa Juuzou and Kurochu Raiga."
Tsunade smiled and said, "Pass the word down, they are dead."
Although she didn't like to show off, taking the life of the enemy leader during the war was undoubtedly a particularly morale-boosting thing.
Letting every ninja know can effectively improve their enthusiasm.
"Yes!"
Nara Suzaku was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted and said excitedly.
This is a huge achievement!
Although it has nothing to do with him, if they defeat the Hidden Mist Village, all the ninjas participating in the war will be rewarded to some extent.
"Tell the Hyuga clan's ninjas to keep an eye on the movements of the Hidden Mist Village."
Tsunade groaned and said, "With Biwa Juuzou and Kurochu Raiga dead, they will definitely take action."
"Yes."
After receiving the order, Nara Suzaku turned and left.
"You guys go down and rest."
Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Even though you didn't fight much, you still ran around for a few hours."
"Yes."
Yuhi Kurenai, Nohara Rin and others responded quickly.
Hinata Kamado and the others carried Hinata Ce back to the tent.
"Kid."
Tsunade looked at Hanekawa and held out her hand.
"...?"
Hanekawa blinked and held her hand.
"What?"
Tsunade glared at him, slapped his hand away, and said, "Where are the two ninja swords you picked up?"
"You said this."
Hanekawa coughed lightly and said, "I picked it up, so of course it's mine."
"I can give them to you, but these two ninja swords are not suitable for you. Don't use them in battle, or they will hinder you."
Tsunade withdrew her hand and said in a serious tone.
Hanekawa couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Is it so simple to give it to yourself?
He thought he was asked to hand it in, but it turned out they were worried that he would misuse it.
"This beheading sword is for you."
Hanekawa thought for a moment, took out a scroll, and said, "As for Thunder Blade Fang, I plan to recast it with my Thunder... that sword."
He almost said the three words Thunder and Fire Sword.
The seven ninja swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen have their own characteristics.
The beheading sword absorbs blood from the enemy's wounds.
The Thunder Blade and Fang can create and draw lightning.
And after recasting with his Thunder and Fire Sword, he can cut off the connection with the Psychic Scroll.
If Uchiha Sasuke had this sword, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to create cumulonimbus clouds to release lightning when performing Lightning Release: Kirin.
"That's a good idea of yours."
Tsunade took the scroll and praised it.
Having a sword that can attract lightning can not only increase the power of lightning-style ninjutsu, but also save chakra.
"I'll give you a suggestion."
Tsunade smiled and said, "Let the old man arrange it when we get back, so that we can recast it without spending any money."
"Teacher, you are so bad!"
Hanekawa's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.
"What are you talking about?"
Tsunade raised her hand and flicked him on the forehead.
"The teacher is wise!"
Hanekawa said quickly.
Just then, Tsunade pulled him in front of her.
A rich fragrance filled the air, and Hanekawa's eyes were subconsciously drawn to the abyss.
"Kid."
Tsunade leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I'm hungry. I want to eat the meal you cook."
She didn't eat enough in the morning and had been out all morning, so she was already starving.
But with so many ninjas in the camp, it’s not a good idea to cook for them separately, so we have to avoid them.
"I know."
Hanekawa had a knowing smile on his face and said, "Let's go back to the tent."
"go!"
Tsunade nodded in satisfaction, she released her hand and walked towards the tent.
Hanekawa followed closely behind, locking the tent.
While the teacher and the student were eating, the camp of the Hidden Mist Village was dead silent.
When the bodies of Biwa Juzo and Kurochu Raiga appeared, everyone showed expressions of disbelief.
How could the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, who seemed invincible to them, die?
"Mei Terumi, who killed them?"
A burly orange-haired young man, the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost, walked out of the main tent.
Although the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja Swordsmen have the same status in name, there must be a commander-in-chief to lead the whole war, and he is one of them.
The reason is that Xiguashan Pufferfish Demon has been performing underground missions for the Hidden Mist Village for a long time, similar to Danzo Shimura and his Root.
He was powerful, strategic, and cunning, so he became the commander-in-chief.
"It's Tsunade."
Terumi Mei said in a deep voice.
"How did you meet her?"
The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost couldn't help but frown deeply.
Mei Terumi explained the situation.
To put it simply, Hinata Saku fell into their trap, and then they chased him out and met Tsunade.
"These two idiots!"
The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost said dissatisfiedly.
Compared to the ignorance of Kurochu Raiga, he has a clearer understanding of Tsunade's strength.
All we can say is that they are used to being invincible in the Hidden Mist Village and are too arrogant.
"Move your camp immediately!"
The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost said in a deep voice.
The camp where Mei Terumi, Raiga Kuroko and Juuha Biwa are located is not the base camp, but the largest supply point in the Hidden Mist Village.
The country of Wakawa is the closest, so it is very important.
But now that Tsunade has discovered it, I can no longer keep it.
"I have arranged for them to be transferred and they will be leaving soon."
Mei Terumi said quickly.
"Very good." Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost nodded and asked, "Where are their ninja swords?"
"Tsunade took it away."
Mei Terumi replied.
Actually, it was Hanekawa who took it, but she was talking about Tsunade, in order to prevent him from being targeted by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
Mei Terumi couldn't help but think in her heart that she was just repaying that pervert for saving her life.
"trouble."
The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost was silent for a few seconds and then spoke.
The most iconic thing about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen is undoubtedly the seven ninja swords.
People can be replaced after they die, but it is difficult to make a new knife once it is lost.
“We can only find a way to get it back.”
The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost paused and said, "Gather all the jonin and hold a meeting in the main tent."
"Yes."
Mei Terumi turned and left.
Soon, all the jonin of the Hidden Mist Village gathered in the main tent.
Standing in the front were the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, but now there are only five left.
"Is Tsunade that powerful?"
Muri Jinpachi, who was carrying a large sword like a scroll, asked.
His ninja sword is called Bakuto Feimo, which is simply a large scroll wrapped with explosive tags, and its power is terrifying.
"She is one of Konoha's three ninjas after all, and not long ago, she killed Hanzo, who is known as a demigod."
The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost said seriously, "If you meet her, don't fight her alone!"
"Master Pufferfish Ghost."
A senior ninja from the Hidden Mist Village reported, "We just received news that our five outposts in the River Country have been destroyed."
"really."
The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost was not surprised. "It seems we need to change our strategy."
"How to do it?"
Muri Jinpachi said calmly, "Don't forget to avenge them both."
Although he had no feelings for Biwa Juzo and Kurokawa Raiga, as they were both members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he would be ridiculed by the outside world if he did not take revenge.
"I know."
Xiguashan Puffer Ghost nodded and continued, "Without the outpost, I can implement my new strategy, which is harassment warfare."
The ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village are skilled in water jutsu and the Hidden Mist technique, and can rely on the sea and thick fog to harass Konoha Village and Sand Village.
Simply put, the ninja team uses mobility to hunt down the enemy.
If it succeeds, that’s the best. If not, retreat to the sea.
In fact, this was their original strategy.
After all, their number is only about a thousand at most, so a large-scale battle is definitely not possible.
But no one expected that Biwa Juzang and Hei Chu Raiya would give away their heads as soon as they came up.
"One last thing."
Xiguashan Puffer Ghost warned, "There are many Hyuga clan ninjas in Konoha Village this time, be careful of them."
The ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village are extremely skilled in silent killing techniques.
Its premise is the Mist Hidden Technique, but the Byakugan just happens to restrain them.
"Go down and get ready."
The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost waved his hand and said, "Let's adjourn!"
Mei Terumi left the main tent, looked at the boundless ocean, and let out a breath.
She looked down at the boots she had put on again and couldn't help but grit her teeth.
That pervert! She must not let him go next time!
But soon she remembered something and her eyes became unfocused because she couldn't win.
a new day.
The people who were excited by the deaths of Biwa Juzo and Kurochu Raiga fell into new trouble.
The harassment war in the Hidden Mist Village played a big role.
"Today, nine ninjas died and more than twenty were injured."
In the main tent, Nara Suzaku said with a heavy face.
"What about the other side?"
Tsunade asked with a frown.
"Only four ninjas died."
Nara Suzaku replied.
"This can't go on like this!"
Maki said angrily, "Their Mist Hidden Technique is really annoying!"
Because Konoha Village and Sand Village are cooperating, the senior ninjas of Sand Village also held a meeting together.
“Build more outposts.”
Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "Each outpost is staffed with Hyuga clan ninjas and ninjas who can use wind escape techniques."
The Byakugan can see through the fog, and the Wind Style can blow away the fog.
Fortunately, there are many wind-style ninjas in the Sand Village.
"The Hyuga clan's jonin will form a special search team and do their best to find the headquarters of the Hidden Mist Village."
Tsunade continued, "Only by destroying their base camp can we effectively stop their harassment tactics!"
"Yes!"
Hinata Ce responded quickly.
After Tsunade's treatment and the blood transfusion from the medical ninja, he has recovered more than half.
He was previously discovered by a trap, resulting in the failure of the sea exploration mission.
Fortunately, Tsunade was very powerful and killed Biwa Juuzou and Kuroki Raiga without causing any big trouble.
However, for the Hyuga clan, this was a failure.
Now is undoubtedly an opportunity to make amends.
After the meeting, Hanekawa's ninja team also received a mission.
But instead of setting up outposts or looking for a base camp, they were conducting counter-harassment.
Simply put, it means being a firefighter.
After all, they have Tsunade leading the team and they are very powerful.
……
Hokage's office.
There was a knock on the door.
Mitomon En and Utane Koharu walked in.
"I called you here to share..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile suddenly froze.
Because an uninvited guest appeared, that was Danzo Shimura.
"Why didn't you call me?"
Shimura Danzo asked somewhat dissatisfiedly, "I am the assistant of the Hokage, and I also have the right to know and the right to discuss matters."
In the past, he naturally didn't need to hold meetings so frequently.
But that’s not possible now. He needs to keep abreast of intelligence from all sides and then pass it on to Orochimaru.
Now all his hopes are placed on Orochimaru, so he must pay attention.
"How did you know we were going to have a meeting?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a gloomy expression.
He suspected that some of the Root members who had joined the Anbu were still working for Danzo Shimura.
"nothing."
Shimura Danzo's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and said, "I just saw the two of them, so I knew something was going to happen."
Mitomon En and Utane Koharu looked at each other and chose to agree without saying anything.
The four of them have always been in a delicate balance.
If Danzo Shimura is missing, problems are bound to occur.
"Hiruzen, let's talk about the matter."
Mitomon En changed the subject.
"We just received information from Nara Suzaku."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile reappeared on his face and he said, "Tsunade and the Hyuga Saku team killed Biwa Juzo and Kurochu Raiga."
"It's a happy event indeed!"
Mitomon Yan said with a smile, "It's only been two days, and we have achieved such a great result. It fully demonstrates the ability of our Konoha Village!"
The Ninja World War was essentially a show of force.
The winner can get more tasks and resources from the daimyo so that the ninja can develop just right.
Shimura Danzo's heart subconsciously tightened.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are not small characters, but big figures famous in the ninja world.
If Tsunade kills them, her reputation will surely rise to a higher level.
No!
We have to remind Orochimaru to achieve results as soon as possible.
