Chapter 185: Konoha Village's Comprehensive Counterattack
Chapter 185: Konoha Village's Comprehensive Counterattack (th Update)
"Tsunade-sama, what should we do now?"
Minato Namikaze came back to his senses, remembered the important matter, and asked.
"Since the Iwagakure Village has sent in the Jinchūriki, it means that they have changed their strategy of avoiding battle and will start a decisive battle with our Konoha Village."
Tsunade said in a deep voice, "Let's go back to the camp and get ready!"
"But wasn't the Jinchuriki severely injured by Hanekawa?"
Namikaze Minato asked with some hesitation.
"The Jinchūriki possesses the chakra of the tailed beasts, and his recovery ability far exceeds that of ordinary people. Give him some time and he will recover."
Tsunade paused, snorted, and said, "But we can just take this opportunity to help them and drive them back to the Land of Earth!"
"Yes!"
Minato Namikaze immediately understood.
It is true that the Iwagakure Village wants to go to war with the Konoha Village, after all, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Shi, has appeared.
But by accident, Hanekawa made a great contribution and disrupted the offensive rhythm of the Iwagakure Village.
If the Iwagakure Village doesn't attack, the Hidden Leaf Village will attack.
Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Jutsu again.
The three returned to the Konoha Village headquarters.
"Hanekawa!"
Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Lin, who were anxiously waiting, came over quickly when they saw them.
In addition to them, there were also the senior ninjas who received the news, as well as Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, and the Might Guy team.
In fact, there was no need for anyone to notify them, as they all sensed the Tailed Beast Ball just now.
"I am fine."
Hanekawa met the gazes of Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Rin and said with a smile, "It's just that the chakra consumption is very serious."
It took him about two and a half years to learn the Yin Seal.
He used up more than a quarter of the chakra accumulated during this period at one time.
In other words, if Hanekawa fights the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi, three or four more times, all of his chakra will be destroyed.
"What happened just now?"
Aburame Shiwei said in great confusion, "My bug sensed an extremely terrifying chakra."
"It's the Tailed Beast Ball."
Namikaze Minato said with a smile, "The Iwagakure Village sent out the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Old Shizu."
"what?"
Everyone showed shocked expressions.
They all knew more or less about the Jinchūriki and the Tailed Beasts.
Since the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Lao Zi has appeared, it means that a war is inevitable.
"How can you still laugh?"
Aburame Zhiwei couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
He had been teammates with Minato Namikaze and knew his character. He would not try to have fun in misery.
"Hekawa severely injured the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Shi."
The smile on Minato Namikaze's face became even more intense.
"impossible!"
Uchiha Obito said without thinking.
It wasn't simply because he hated Hanekawa, but he really thought it was too outrageous.
It’s like they are all high school students, and suddenly someone tells him that his deskmate won the Nobel Prize.
How can such nonsense be possible?
Kurenai Yuhi, Rin Nohara, Kakashi Hatake, and Might Guy looked at each other and stood there in a daze.
Even the usually bold Matt Guy thought he was hallucinating.
"Minato, don't joke with me."
The jonin even felt that Namikaze Minato was livening up the atmosphere.
It would be reasonable if it was Sarutobi Hiruzen who seriously injured the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Shi.
But Hanekawa, is this possible?
A Chunin who had just graduated three years ago and was ten years younger than their average age.
"Of course I won't lie."
Namikaze Minato coughed lightly and said loudly, "All of you should prepare immediately and launch a full-scale counterattack against the Iwagakure Village!"
"Yes!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and quickly answered, but the shock in their hearts was beyond words.
Since they are planning to launch a full-scale counterattack, it means that the news of severely injuring the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi, is indeed true.
"How...how is it possible?"
Uchiha Obito just felt lost and distraught.
He had lost to Hanekawa before, so he knew there was a huge gap between them.
But because he had witnessed the strength of the mysterious old grandfather Uchiha Madara, he felt that there was still hope after opening the Three-magatama Sharingan.
Now tell him that Hanekawa seriously injured the Jinchuriki, can this three-magatama Sharingan really defeat him?
"so amazing!"
Nohara Lin looked at Hanekawa with eyes full of admiration.
Jinchūriki is the last resort of a ninja village, but he was actually injured by Hanekawa.
This kind of strength has completely left them far behind.
"I'm just lucky. The water escape technique just happened to restrain him."
Hanekawa said modestly.
There are indeed many coincidences involved in his ability to defeat the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi.
If it were another Jinchūriki, he would definitely have to run away.
And strictly speaking, it can't be considered a defeat.
After all, he can't withstand the Tailed Beast Ball now.
The jonin naturally didn't believe it.
Theoretically, water jutsu can restrain fire jutsu, but the huge chakra of the Jinchūriki is enough to ignore the attribute restraint.
As Minato Namikaze's order was conveyed, the news that Hanekawa seriously injured the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi, spread throughout the Konoha Village camp in a flash.
Many ninjas have a deep fear of the Jinchūriki and the tailed beasts. After all, they are too strong.
Now that there is a man named Hanekawa who can fight against the Jinchūriki, morale has naturally been greatly boosted, and one can even say that there is hope for victory in the war.
Half an hour later, everyone in Konoha Village received their missions and left the camp.
Minato Namikaze took away Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha and Might Guy.
Their mission is similar to that in the original work, which is to go to the rear of Iwagakure Village.
No one is more suitable than Minato Namikaze who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Hanekawa watched them leave and wondered in his mind, in this situation, would Uchiha Obito still be seriously injured and rescued by Uchiha Madara?
He didn't know either. After all, there was one more Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi, than in the original work, although he was injured.
"Hanekawa."
Tsunade walked up to him and asked, "Do you want to rest?"
"I do not need."
Hanekawa smiled and said, "I have the Yin Seal, so other than the chakra consumption, I don't really feel anything."
"It's simply...perverted."
Aburame Shiwei couldn't help but complain.
What does it mean to fight a Jinchūriki and feel nothing?
"Senior Zhiwei, will you join us on this mission?"
Hanekawa looked at Aburame Shiwei who was standing behind Tsunade.
In addition to him, there are three ninjas from the Aburame clan, all of whom are jonin.
"Our mission is to hold back the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi."
Aburame Shizu nodded slightly and said, "Of course, I can't beat him. I'm only responsible for tracking his location. It mainly depends on your performance."
"You're welcome, Senior Zhiwei."
Hanekawa responded with a smile.
"Without further ado, let's leave now!"
Tsunade said solemnly, "We only have one day!"
With the recovery power of the tailed beast's chakra and the treatment of the medical ninja, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Lao Shi should be able to recover in a day at most.
"Yes!"
Hanekawa, Aburame Shiwei and seven others quickly responded.
Led by Tsunade, they went to the previous Iwagakure Village base.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination.
“What a horrifying scene!”
Aburame Shiwei looked at the stronghold that had been completely shattered and looked like it was doomed, and waved her hands.
A large number of parasites flew out and began the inspection.
Because of the destruction of the Tailed Beast Ball, the ninjas of the Iwagakure Village had already moved away, but they left traces behind.
Especially since the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Shi, was injured, they were in a state of shock and were less cautious than before.
"follow me!"
Aburame Shiwei said with a cheer. The eight people followed the parasite all the way, and half an hour later, they arrived in front of a stronghold.
"It's not the headquarters of the Iwagakure Village."
Aburame Shiwei glanced at it and said.
"They should have guessed our actions."
Tsunade said thoughtfully, "Once we attack, the base camp will be the top priority, which will be detrimental to treating Lao Zi's injuries."
"pity."
Hanekawa suddenly thought of something, "If I can poison him during the water escape technique, he will definitely not be able to escape."
"...?"
Aburame Shiwei took a half step back without making a sound.
"Poisoning with water escape technique, you're so smart to think of that."
Tsunade rolled her eyes at him.
It is indeed possible to poison the water, but most water-based ninjutsu have too wide a range, and it takes time for the poison to spread.
In battle, the enemy will seize the initiative because of the poisoning.
"There are eighty-seven ninjas in the base."
Aburame Shiwei took back the parasite and said with a serious face.
"It looks like it's the Iwagakure ninja from the previous base."
Tsunade nodded slightly and said, "Hekawa and I will go in first, and you guys can provide support if necessary."
There were only eight ninjas among them, and except for her and Hanekawa, the rest would be in great danger if they were surrounded.
"Yes!"
Aburame Shiwei, Yuhi Kurenai and others responded quickly.
"and many more."
Hanekawa grabbed Tsunade's wrist and said, "This distance is just right. I can use water jutsu when they are not paying attention."
"can."
Tsunade thought of his previous performance against Lao Zi, and couldn't help but mourn for the ninja of the Iwagakure Village.
Water Release·Big Explosive Water Wave!
Hanekawa was not polite at all. He formed seals with his hands and spit out a wave of water from his mouth.
In an instant, the entire stronghold was covered by sea water, forming an oval-shaped water dungeon.
Screams sounded.
Although there were patrolling ninjas in the Iwagakure Village, they were completely unable to resist the disastrous sea water.
Many Genin and Chunin could not withstand the impact of the waves and fainted.
Aburame Shiwei swallowed subconsciously.
He now finally understood why Hanekawa was able to suppress the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi.
Is this still water escape?
In the original work, the Water Style: Great Explosion Water Wave was only used by Tobirama Senju and Kisame Hoshigaki.
The reason is that it consumes a lot of chakra.
It was the first time that Aburame Shiwei saw this ninjutsu, and she was truly shocked.
At this moment, the ground of the stronghold shook, and large amounts of magma gushed out, quickly burning out a vacuum area.
It was the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi.
He was obviously receiving treatment, as he had a bandage on his shoulder, but blood seeped from the bandage as he used his ninjutsu.
"It's that water-style monster!"
Everyone from the Iwagakure Village came to the vacuum zone, with panic on their faces.
"Shut up!"
Lao Zi said with great dissatisfaction.
But his movement affected the wound again, and his face turned pale instantly.
"Master Lao Zi, you and the medical ninja leave together, we will hold them off."
Dong Siren took a look and said, "There are only eight of them!"
"careful!"
Lao Zi hesitated for a few seconds, but finally agreed.
His current condition is getting worse the more he fights, so it’s better to focus on treatment first and then deal with that annoying guy after he recovers.
"Use Earth Escape: Ten Thousand Miles Earth Flowing Wall!"
At Dong Siren's command, more than a dozen Iwagakure ninjas formed hand seals at the same time.
In an instant, a wall as thick as the Great Wall was formed around them.
In a sense, this is also a compound ninjutsu.
"Don't worry, I've released the bad bug to follow Lao Zi and the others!"
Aburame Shiwei said in time.
"Is the water monster talking about Hanekawa?"
Yuhi Kurenai asked, blinking.
"Probably."
Hanekawa's mouth twitched and he said, "This code name is not very good."
He prefers the golden flash similar to that of Minato Namikaze.
Tsunade looked odd.
Her student was called a water-style monster, which seemed too inappropriate no matter how she thought about it.
I didn't know and I would have thought she was very good at water jutsu, but the thing is, she's a medical ninja.
"Chase!"
Tsunade came to her senses and rushed out without hesitation.
The ground shook, and two hemispheres flew towards her from both sides, trying to crush her.
Tsunade reacted quickly and smashed the earth ball into pieces with two consecutive punches.
Secret Technique: Insect Tornado!
Aburame Shiwei waved her hands, and a tornado made up of parasitic insects leaped over the earth wall and blew towards the people of the Iwagakure Village.
The other three Aburame ninjas performed the same action, commanding a large number of parasitic insects to fly out.
The next second, screams were heard.
The art of spiritualization!
Nohara Rin stood in place, her soul left her body, and went straight through the earth wall, controlling a ninja from the Iwagakure Village and launching a suicide attack.
"Red, earth wall."
Hanekawa gave a reminder and then formed seals with his hands.
Composite Ninja Technique: Thunder Water Dragon Bullet!
A huge water dragon flew out with a roar.
Following closely behind was the water dragon controlled by Yuhi Kurenai.
The two water dragons hit the earth wall one after another, immediately creating a passage.
Instantaneous technique!
Seeing this, Tsunade immediately passed through the deep pit and came to the ninjas of the Hidden Rock Village.
My feet hurt!
She stepped on it and the ground cracked.
The nearby Iwagakure ninjas flew backwards, blood splattered, and screams rose and fell.
Chidori flow!
Hanekawa appeared in front of Tsunade using the instant body technique.
Lightning flashed everywhere, he drew out the Thunder and Fire Sword and immediately performed the Three-Moon Dance.
The three Hanekawas rushed towards the Iwagakure ninjas, and three of them fell down immediately.
"Damn it!"
Upon seeing this, Dong Si Ren quickly formed seals with his hands.
Earth Escape·Tu Long Spear!
The ground bulged, and countless earth spears emerged and stabbed towards Hanekawa.
Tsunade snorted and punched out.
The dead man in the east was horrified and quickly built a wall of earth.
But the earth spear had no effect at all and was smashed to pieces by Tsunade.
The dead man in the east retreated rapidly.
Just then, a pair of hands reached out and grabbed his feet.
He subconsciously lowered his head and saw Hanekawa underground.
when?
How could he form seals so quickly? And why could he escape underground?
As soon as the Toushiren was delayed by Hanekawa, Tsunade chased after him.
With one punch, blood splattered and his heart was ripped out.
"Good cooperation."
Tsunade glanced at Hanekawa and returned to the battle.
With more than half of the Iwagakure ninjas killed or injured, the remaining ninjas fled.
"Don't chase us, our target is Lao Zi!"
Tsunade didn't care.
Led by Ji Bad Bug, the group headed towards Lao Zi again.
