Chapter 149 Tearing up the Script
Gamabunta's several jumps have successfully torn apart the enemy's formation; Konoha's morale has also been completely boosted.
According to Minato Namikaze's past experience, the battle could basically be declared over at this point.
The rest is time for Konoha's harvest!
According to his past experience, the situation should be like this.
But now, the exception appeared unexpectedly!
"Earth Escape·Yellow Spring Marsh!"
The large swamp restricted Gamabunta's movements, making him complain.
"Minato, your enemies this time are a bit difficult. Who are they?"
At the same time, the Konoha team that cooperated with him in the attack also burst into screams of surprise from time to time.
"Ah! Damn it! Why are these people still resisting? Why haven't they collapsed yet?! Ahhhh! My hand! My right hand!"
For a moment, Minato Namikaze felt a little tired for the first time.
"We have killed more than thirty key members, why are they still fighting to the death?"
This was different from any battle process he had experienced in the past.
As a last resort, he stopped for a moment and began to observe and think.
Minato has never been stupid, and this observation quickly allowed him to find some of the key reasons!
"This kind of people's command system is different from ours. No, it should be said that it is different from all ninja villages!"
In the past, Minato Namikaze faced enemies in the ninja team mode.
The biggest problem with this model in large-scale wars is that command authority is not clearly divided!
The captains of different teams are on an equal footing.
Each ninja team is an independently operated combat unit. Once there are casualties, the surviving captain will not be able to intervene and command the survivors in other teams.
Even though there are differences in the levels of ninjas, there are only three levels in total: jonin, chuunin, and genin.
It might be enough in small-scale local conflicts, but once it reaches a large-scale frontal battlefield and the situation becomes chaotic, it will be easy for them to fall apart!
In the past, Minato Namikaze himself often took advantage of this.
He came and went freely in the battle formation, specializing in hunting down the enemy's jonin captains and backbones.
At that time, as long as he killed most of the enemy captains on the battlefield, the remaining ninja teams would naturally collapse and would not be able to organize themselves in a short period of time.
The former Iwagakure was defeated countless times by his single-handed breakthroughs.
He has been carrying out decapitation operations targeting this characteristic in the past, but has never reflected on the institutional flaws behind this problem.
Until today - he witnessed the Akatsuki organization's war mode which was completely different from that of traditional ninja villages!
These people seemed to have graded the sequences of everyone in the team at the beginning of the war, and everyone knew clearly where they stood in the sequence!
Even if Minato Namikaze kills a high-sequence Akatsuki backbone, the next person will soon step forward and take over the command in order, allowing the entire army to continue to operate and fight smoothly!
This is completely different from the ninja team model he had seen in the past: once the captain died, the team members had nowhere to go!
After observing for only a short while, Minato Namikaze felt a shock.
"It's like they were a team built for war from the beginning!"
This discovery made him feel panic, surprise, and a little disgusted.
Influenced by his master Jiraiya, although Minato Namikaze is a commander on the battlefield, he hates war in his heart.
"Such an extreme war machine should be destroyed!"
The next moment, with an inexplicable sense of mission, he launched another raid!
A kunai was thrown at the tallest Akatsuki member in the field of vision.
"Captain Kenjiro, be careful!"
But the next moment, a ninja jumped out and tried his best to help the target he had chosen to knock away the kunai.
However, Minato Namikaze’s kunai has never been a simple hidden weapon!
The next moment, the Flying Thunder God Technique was activated!
He instantly appeared in front of the Akatsuki ninja and quickly launched an attack with the Rasengan.
At this time, the ninja had not yet retracted the weapon he had swung, and there was no room for reaction or operation. This was Flying Thunder God, starting with zero frames, unreasonable!
Just a moment before the execution was completed, Minato Namikaze seemed to vaguely see a smile on the face of the person in front of him.
He is laughing? Why?
Oops, something's wrong!
Before he could think more, the Rasengan had already been imprinted on the opponent's chest.
Then there was a loud "boom" and a shocking explosion sounded!
The next second, Minato Namikaze flew out of the explosion range in a panic, suffering the first accidental injury since the battle began.
"Are these people crazy? They actually stick ignited detonating talismans all over their bodies!"
Not long ago, Minato Namikaze heard his Konoha ninjas complain that the people in the Akatsuki organization were all crazy.
At that time, he thought it was just an exaggeration and a psychological shadow caused by a series of defeats.
But now, he suddenly found that this was an extremely realistic description!
He had never seen such a crazy ninja. Even in the Root formed by Elder Danzo in the past, there were rarely such fanatical terrorists!
While he was frightened, he even couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Are you so keen on war? What does that guy named Shiba Kiyokawa think of his life?"
He was angry and questioning, just like the gentle, just and compassionate protagonist in an anime who was torturing the ambitious and indifferent villain.
It’s a pity that reality is not anime.
Shiba Kiyokawa never liked to play by the rules, and his subordinates seemed to have inherited his fine traditions.
Kenjiro, the commander of the First Attack Battalion, looked at Namikaze Minato coldly at this moment. Facing his anger, he just sneered coldly.
"You said we love war? Did we start the Ninja World War?
"For so many years, the Rain Country has suffered from wars and chaos, and you, Konoha, have contributed a lot, right? Now you are accusing us, how shameless you are!"
Namikaze Minato was stunned by what was said.
The flames of anger that had risen in my heart due to a sense of justice and responsibility were instantly extinguished like a candle in the wind.
"What did you say?"
"I say, you disappoint me, Lord Namikaze Minato. I thought that the Yellow Flash, who is famous in the ninja world, could express more insightful opinions, but I didn't expect that your superficiality and shamelessness are no different from those of the Konoha ninjas in the past."
At that moment, the image of Minato Namikaze as the protagonist completely collapsed.
The Akatsuki organization under Shiba Kiyokawa has once again torn up the clichéd anime script!
“We, the people of the Rain Country, know the pain of war better than anyone else!
We fight because we firmly believe that we are doing the right thing!
We are willing to die for our leader because we trust him and believe he can change this fucked up world!
The chief said that our voices and names will be forgotten one day, but the cause we fought for will be remembered by this land forever!
Lord Namikaze Minato, you may be able to kill me today, but you will never be able to defeat Akatsuki!
Because we are fighting for the Rain Country! Fighting for a bright blue tomorrow! We will win!
This battle——"
At that moment, even though the middle and high-level commanders had been killed and wounded in large numbers by Minato Namikaze; even though Konoha's attack was massive; even though the future was uncertain; even though life and death were unpredictable!
But along the entire front, all the surviving members of Akatsuki still shouted in unison, responding firmly and fanatically to Kenshiro's oath.
"This battle——must win!!!"
At that moment, a huge tremor and an unknown sense of panic swept through Minato Namikaze's body!
It was as if a certain belief that had always supported him was brutally shattered!
His perfect self-confidence showed a rare wavering.
Even though it was only a short moment, it was a feat that the A and B combinations of Yunyin had never achieved in the past!
But after all, he was the yellow shining Minato Namikaze who was as dazzling as the sun, and he quickly suppressed the momentary hesitation.
It's just that time has passed by unknowingly for a while.
When Namikaze Minato grasped the kunai again——
The sound of paper wings flapping the air can be heard from the sky!
