Chapter 179 Jedi counterattack?
When Tsunade came to support, she was stunned by the battle situation in front of her.
"Tsunade what on earth are you doing!?"
When Koharu Utatane, who was retreating in a panic, saw the reinforcements led by Tsunade coming, she immediately showed her anger and pointed at the chaotic situation in front of her and shouted:
"The front line is bleeding, and Hiruzen, as the Hokage, is fighting in person. If you delay..."
"Shut up!"
Tsunade was not so good-tempered when facing Utane Koharu who started to scold her as soon as they met, and she directly scolded:
"Useless! A bunch of useless people. Even if they were commanded by the dog-playing Inuzuka clan, they wouldn't be defeated like this!"
Good fellow, Utane Koharu's face turned red as she was confronted, glaring at Tsunade, how presumptuous! She was the Hokage advisor of Konoha.
"Tsunade, why did you only bring 500 ninjas?"
What made Utane Koharu angry was that she was the one who issued the support order, but Tsunade only brought such a small number of people, which clearly showed that she had evil intentions.
However, when Tsunade arrived at the battlefield and saw the dire situation, she ignored the yelling old man and calmly waved her hand to give orders.
"Set up traps and support our ninjas' retreat. Don't cause a rout..."
After giving the order, Tsunade turned around and shouted at Utane Koharu:
"There are wars everywhere on the front line. Do you know how serious the consequences of your order to retreat are? If the Cloud Ninja seizes the opportunity, the entire border defense line will collapse.
The enemy on our border is not just the Hidden Clouds, there are countless forces hidden in the dark. We can retreat! But we must not lose the defense line, otherwise the war will reach the territory of the Land of Fire..."
Likewise, facing Tsunade's angry rebuke, Utane Koharu did not give in, and glared at her and said:
"Tsunade! If we lose our position, we can take it back. If the enemy reaches the Land of Fire, we can regroup and drive them out!
But if something happens to the Hokage on the battlefield, the turmoil it brings to the village will be devastating!"
Both of them stubbornly expressed their opinions and glared at each other. What Utane Koharu saw was that Konoha could not lose the Third Hokage, and Tsunade's duty was to guard the border.
On the chaotic battlefield, the Hidden Cloud Legion in the distance was even more powerful, and they were attacking madly.
"Lord Raikage, your arms can no longer fight!"
The medical ninja reminded urgently, but the Third Raikage Ai showed an arrogant smile.
"No! We can't stop this time!"
Even the future Fourth Raikage Ai said solemnly at this moment: "Immediately treat the Third Raikage's injuries and restore the Raikage's chakra."
Two of the Hidden Cloud Village's top medical ninjas, one was treating the injury on the Raikage's arm, which was caused by Minato Namikaze, while the other was sweating profusely as he continued to restore the Raikage's chakra.
Just then, a Cloud Ninja hurried over.
"Third-generation Raikage, Konoha's reinforcements have arrived."
Following the report, the Third Raikage Ai on the battlefield looked solemnly at the Konoha side that was gradually stabilizing its position in the distance, and a large number of Konoha ninja reinforcements arrived.
At this time, his son Ai said in a deep voice: "Because of the previous Konoha raid, our ninjas were concerned about the Third Raikage, so they gave up most of the positions on the left and right sides. Now there is only the middle section..."
"Father, the best opportunity has been lost. Retreat now!"
However, the Third Raikage Ai revealed a ferocious smile after hearing this.
"No! Konoha gave us a Kumogakure collapse plan, so I will also give Konoha a collapse plan!"
Under the ferocious and bloodthirsty smile, his son, the future Fourth Raikage Ai, was stunned at first, then he thought of something and his face changed.
"Father! Your chakra has been consumed..."
Before he could finish his words, the Third Raikage Ai shouted coldly:
"Prepare the Tensou Jutsu, and have Killer Bee come along. He can withstand it with the protection of the tailed beast's chakra."
At this time, the Third Raikage pointed domineeringly in the direction of Konoha in the distance.
"I personally appeared at the rear of Konoha with the Eight-Tails, cutting off the retreat of the Third-generation old ghost! This is our Cloud Ninja's plan to collapse Konoha!"
Seeing the worry in his son's eyes, the Third Raikage smiled rudely, twisted his neck, felt a lot of chakra restored, and laughed loudly:
"Ai, now you are the frontline commander of our Cloud Ninja. Don't worry, with Killer Bee here this time, it's time for Konoha to experience the feeling of a tailed beast going berserk!"
When he heard the words "tailed beasts going berserk", the future Fourth Raikage Ai revealed a look of hatred.
"Then your chakra, father!"
This kind of high-intensity battle was extremely exhausting for the Third Raikage, but at this moment he laughed arrogantly:
"I have recovered a lot of chakra now, enough for another battle, and my mission this time is to cut off Konoha's retreat. You will immediately command the ninja army to surround this Konoha army."
"Yes……"
Finally, faced with the hatred in his heart and the excellent opportunity, the future Fourth Raikage Ai hesitated for only a moment before making up his mind.
This time they are no longer facing an ambush by the major Kages, and with the Eight-Tails still here, it is easy to delay time. After all, Kage-level combat forces are not everywhere, and how many can Konoha still have?
"I understand Father."
Patting his son's shoulder heavily, the Third Raikage Ai glanced at the Konoha Army in the distance, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Now it's time for Konoha to experience the wrath of our Cloud Ninja!"
Konoha side.
"Damn it, are these Cloud Ninjas crazy?!"
The Konoha ninjas cursed the Cloud ninjas who were chasing them relentlessly.
At this time, with the arrival of reinforcements, Konoha's rear began to gradually stabilize its position. At the same time, as the Cloud Ninjas launched a strong attack, they could also see from afar the reinforcements that were constantly gathering in the rear.
It was obvious that the Cloud Ninja had not given up the attack, but were preparing to gather reinforcements like a sharp knife to tear open Konoha's defense line again. This scene made Konoha's rear, which had just stabilized its position, full of solemnity.
Under a big tree, a Konoha's perception ninja closed his eyes, sensing the movements of the Cloud Ninja in the distance.
"Hokage-sama, nearly a thousand ninjas have gathered again in the Cloud Ninja rear..."
Following the report from their senses, the Third Hokage and his entourage retreated into a forest, their faces looking extremely heavy.
"Huruzen, Tsunade..."
Utane Koharu glared at her and was about to blame Tsunade for everything, but Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was breathing heavily, interrupted her in a deep voice.
"Okay, Xiaochun, this can't be blamed on Tsunade. After all, this is the border of our Konoha, and the Kumogakure are only in the Land of Hot Springs. They won't feel bad about losing their positions."
Although there was no blame, it also pointed the finger at Tsunade.
Because Konoha had to defend the border, most of the ninjas were still needed to guard the area, and only a few hundred elite troops arrived this time.
In other words, Konoha now has less than 800 ninjas, including Sarutobi Hiruzen's previous elite troops and Tsunade's reinforcements.
As for the Hidden Cloud Sect, because they had given up most of their positions, their forces were concentrated, so the number of ninjas fighting on the front line exceeded five hundred, and now the reinforcements in the rear had gathered another thousand people.
The current situation is that the Cloud Ninja has twice the number of ninjas, and because of this plan, the number of Jonin from the major families in Konoha will even surpass that of the Cloud Ninja.
Both sides have their advantages!
"Everyone!"
At this time, as the Third Hokage spoke again, in the dark woods, the elite jonin who had just experienced a battle looked at their Hokage calmly.
"There are two situations before us now. Either we hold on! But the Cloud Ninja has already started a full-scale war. If it becomes a protracted war, Iwagakure and Kirigakure will definitely not sit idly by and wait for death. Konoha will once again suffer from the combined forces of the four major ninja villages..."
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose armor was shattered and in a mess, spoke in a deep voice, seemingly regaining his composure, but Uchiha Ye saw a hint of madness in the depths of his eyes, which gave him a bad premonition and he could not help but interrupt him directly.
"Hokage, the failure of the Kumogakure collapse plan is a consequence that should have been anticipated long ago!" Uchiha Ye spoke angrily at this time, which made the representative senior ninjas of the major families around him show ugly expressions.
Yes, this is clearly your failure!
The shadow of the village dragged the village into the quagmire.
"Uchiha! How dare you! You're questioning the Hokage!"
Utane Koharu was furious and glared directly at Uchiha Ye, but this time she was horrified to find that her power to suppress others, which had always been effective before, had lost its effect at this moment.
"You! You guys!"
At this time, Utane Koharu looked around in shock and anger, only to see that the representatives of the major families who were in charge of the jonin were all silent.
Uchiha said what they dared not say in their hearts. It was not that Uchiha was stubborn, but that Uchiha Ye saw the reality clearly.
In the eyes of the Hokage high-ups, the Uchiha were being ostracized anyway, so why not say it!
What's more, now that these old ghosts have lost the battle, they still want to escape with a pretentious excuse. They can leave, but they must take the blame!
After seeing this scene, Uchiha Ye said coldly: "Hokage Advisor, I am not questioning the Hokage, but I, Uchiha, am taking on the responsibilities of a Konoha Jonin!"
"For such an important decision, shouldn't the Hokage advisor have a worst-case strategic plan? Now that something has gone wrong, he wants to shirk responsibility! Tsunade's command ensured that the war did not spread to the Land of Fire!"
"you!"
Just when Uchiha Yagami was about to turn to Koharu to be the Hokage's advisor, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke up, and he looked around at everyone coldly.
The looks from all the jonin seemed to be pointing out problems with him as the Hokage, and this scene hurt his heart.
More importantly, the halo of the Third Hokage was shattered in the hearts of the jonin, especially this major decision-making mistake, which led to the village being plunged into war.
It turns out that their Hokage is not strong!
So, the strongest ninja village has a Hokage who is not that strong and was defeated by another village's Kage on the battlefield? Is this appropriate?
Of course, most of the senior ninjas at the moment were angry. The plan to collapse the Hidden Cloud Village, such a major decision, had problems that they had never dared to think about.
What’s even more outrageous is that not only did the top management not think of the worst-case strategy, they even wanted to pass the buck!
"I'm still the Hokage now!"
With Sarutobi Hiruzen's cold shout, which was intimidating without any anger, the scene suddenly became quiet.
"I know the current situation, but as the Hokage, my first priority is the village. There is still a chance to save the situation!"
At this moment, as Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice echoed, many people's faces changed drastically, especially Namikaze Minato, whose face looked ugly. He wanted to say something, but the words reached his throat and he couldn't say them.
"Uchiha! I know what you are thinking! But from the moment you become a ninja, you must be prepared to sacrifice, even me!"
At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen burst out with the aura of a wounded tiger ninja hero, staring directly at Uchiha Ye, and spoke word by word:
"We still have the Kyuubi!"
boom!
At this moment, the faces of the senior ninjas who had not yet come to their senses changed drastically. They finally understood the second option mentioned by the Third Hokage.
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed extremely calm, but he did not realize that his mentality had changed after experiencing failure in front of everyone.
Now he is not only doing this for the village, but is also eager to make up for his failure.
Or rather! He believed that everything he did was for the village, not for himself! He stubbornly tied himself to the village.
"impossible!"
At this time, Tsunade shouted angrily and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen to oppose this plan.
"Third Hokage! Jinchūriki is to protect their homeland, and this was not the original plan. Once you use Jinchūriki in another country, do you know the consequences of doing so?"
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hesitate and shouted coldly:
"If we in Konoha don't use our Jinchuriki first, other villages will do the same. This is a war! In a one-on-one situation, the major ninja villages will abide by the agreement, but in a two-on-one situation! Even if the four major ninja villages join forces, no one will abide by this rule!"
"Can you guarantee that the Kumo-nin won't use the Jinchuriki?"
Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen's angry rebuke, Tsunade's face looked extremely ugly at this moment. The previous plan to collapse the Cloud Ninja had been completely torn apart. If there was really a chance, the Cloud Ninja would definitely use it first.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, the Cloud Village Collapse Plan was a serious failure of our Konoha Intelligence Department, which led to a major decision-making error on our part, but now we still have one more chance!
As long as we use the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, with the dense concentration of Cloud Ninja, we can defeat the Cloud Ninja and even join forces to kill the Raikage on the battlefield. The previous failure is only temporary, and the glory of victory will eventually belong to us, Konoha!"
At this moment, countless Konoha jonin looked solemn.
The failure of the village and the joining forces of the four major ninja villages have resulted in such consequences. Since it has come to this, it is better to use the Nine-Tails and give it a try.
If the Cloud Ninja is defeated successfully, although the brilliant plan to intimidate the ninja world as planned at the beginning cannot be achieved, they can defeat the Cloud Ninja before Iwagakure and Kirigakure can react. The worst that Konoha will have to face is the combined efforts of the three major ninja villages.
"I understand!"
At this moment, Uchiha Ye's voice echoed, which made Tsunade's face change suddenly.
"Night you!"
She didn't expect that Uchiha Ye would be the first to agree, and behind Tsunade, the red-haired Uzumaki Kushina faced the gazes of countless village companions, which made her feel unfamiliar and even a little frightened.
It turns out that she has always been a tool!
However, at this moment, a pair of warm and safe hands directly grabbed her. At this time, Uchiha Ye's eyes were flashing with blood-red Sharingan, and although they were spinning wildly, his expression was full of firmness and determination.
"Hokage-sama! I, Uchiha Ya, will gamble my life! And even the honor of the Uchiha clan, to protect my companion Uzumaki Kushina!"
As Uchiha Ye's firm voice echoed, the heads of the major families looked ashamed that they actually needed a woman to protect them.
The third generation of Old Bidden is doomed, and now it is just a last-ditch struggle.
"night!"
There were tears of excitement in Kushina Uzumaki's eyes. She said nothing but nodded excitedly.
But Uchiha Ye also smiled at this time. His ambition! Everything he had! What would it mean if he retreated at this time?
Isn't ambition just about possessing and protecting everything that belongs to you?
After seeing Uchiha Ye's speech, a trace of fear flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes. The relationship between the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Uchiha is too dangerous!
When Minato Namikaze saw Uzumaki Kushina with red hair, and there was only Uchiha Night Queen in her eyes, his expression was a little gloomy, and at the same time he seemed to have let go of something in his heart.
"Kushina, Uchiha Ye can protect you better than I can. At least I don't have the courage now!"
Minato Namikaze felt envious in his heart. He envied Uchiha Ye for being so decisive, but when he thought of the village, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It’s all for the village!
"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will attack the Kumo Ninja, and at the same time all the Konoha ninjas..."
At this moment, seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen shouting in a deep voice and giving the order for a Jedi counterattack, Utane Koharu showed a determined look.
Sarutobi! We haven't lost yet! We can win!
"Now everyone, let's bet on our will of fire and the glory of me, the Third Hokage!"
At this time Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted in a deep voice, and his defeated and decadent aura was gradually changing, and his supreme aura as a ninja hero burst out once again.
There was a blazing fire in his eyes. He had not lost yet! He fought back! He defeated the Cloud Ninja and even surrounded and killed the Third Raikage. His strategy could still be carried out.
No matter how strong the Third Raikage is, can he still outlast so many ninjas in Konoha?
"I, Sarutobi Hiruzen! In the name of the Third Hokage, I now declare..."
Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was regaining his strength and preparing for a Jedi counterattack with an angry look on his face to regain his lost glory, suddenly a terrifying wave of air swept out from behind, instantly changing the faces of all the Konoha ninjas present.
His face, which had just regained its strength and was full of determination, instantly lost its color, and he stared at the huge figure in the distance behind him with trembling eyes in disbelief.
Eight-tailed!
Thank you for your support.
