Chapter 159 The Art of War
At this moment, Shiba Kiyokawa didn't know that the battle he was organizing would shake more than just the values of this group of recruits.
High above the sky, there was a little yellow-haired kid sitting on a big clay bird, overlooking everything.
It was the young Deidara.
After the previous battle, Deidara had long been fascinated by the Akatsuki organization's art of war. Now hanging high in the sky, even though the scene below was as unclear as ants moving, it still did not affect his blood boiling!
"Sure enough! I knew it! This is indeed art! This is the highest level of art!"
At this moment on the ground, both sides are using bamboo swords to replace metal knives as weapons and fighting fiercely!
The jonin commanded by the veteran here is Crow Feather, the commander of the First Assault Battalion.
He is also an old subordinate of Shiba Kiyokawa. He was the first to follow him and is also the loyal subordinate who has received the most guidance from him in swordsmanship and command!
As soon as the battle began, he gave orders in an orderly manner, "Form a formation! Defensive formation!"
At first, Brother Tumu didn't take it seriously.
"Setting up a formation? Playing tricks!"
He charged forward with his fellow jonin, and achieved a number of victories before the veterans completed their formation and deployed, creating a beautiful climax.
The remaining recruits on the sidelines cheered.
However, Shiba Kiyokawa was not panicked at all. Instead, he stroked his chin and commented, "These twelve people cooperated well and their strength is not bad. They don't look like the fake jonin from the small ninja village."
He suddenly thought: Could it be that he had packed up the twelve guardian ninjas of the Land of Earth's Daimyo and brought them here?
It seems that in this terrible ninja world, as long as you focus on managing your own country, talented people will really come to you like rabbits running into trees.
He clearly hadn't made any plans for the Land of Earth, but now he had naturally brought back twelve top-notch jonin.
Now I really need to translate carefully what surprise means.
The ninja who was in charge of counting the new recruits looked at him with concern.
"Chief, aren't you worried at all? What if the new guy wins?"
Shiba Kiyokawa just smiled.
Then you really underestimate the transformation of Akatsuki organization!
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”
Then, in the field, Crow Feather, holding a knife, forcibly withstood the impact of the joint attack of several senior ninjas, covering his own troops to smoothly deploy the formation.
The recruits had no idea at this moment that from this moment on, the balance of victory had tilted!
"The perception battalion is positioning, the support battalion is calling the shots! The assault battalion should maintain a defensive formation first, and the mobile battalion will provide support at any time!"
After the formation was deployed, the efficient and coordinated combat mode began to show amazing power!
No matter what tricks these newcomers have, they will have nowhere to hide from the cross-detection of the twenty veterans in the Perception Camp!
These veterans also all master a special marking ninjutsu, which was developed by Shiba Kiyokawa using his knowledge of sealing techniques.
Once the red crosshairs are on the enemy, the support battalion's ninjutsu will immediately follow!
"Wind Escape·Practice Blank Bullets!"
The twenty ninjas from the support battalion uniformly used the "Wind Style: Air Training Bullet" and worked in groups of five. They followed orders and took turns to form hand seals to form a continuous cross fire!
"Boohoo! Boom! Boom!"
Dense wind-attribute bullets formed a line in the air, and with the assistance of the Perception Battalion, they efficiently "killed" the surrounding recruits!
"Damn it! Are they mechanical puppets? Why are their ninjutsu releases so rhythmic?"
"Ahh! Captain, what are you doing, Captain! My squad leader has fallen, who should I listen to next?"
"Bastards! Find a way to stop them!" When the formation was deployed and the fire coverage was completed, the quality gap between the veterans and the recruits was immediately clearly exposed!
At the same time, the disadvantages of the traditional ninja squad mode in medium and large battles are also infinitely magnified!
Just the first wave of firepower was enough to make the recruits panic.
Then counterattacks came one after another.
However, unlike the veterans' unified ninjutsu, alternating hand seals and continuous firepower, the counterattack of the recruits was chaotic and each relied on their own ability.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
"Earth Release·Split the Earth and Turn the Palm!"
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
At least the members of the same team can refrain from interfering with each other, but there is absolutely no tacit understanding between different teams.
At the same time, there was even a situation on the battlefield where Fire Style and Water Style were jointly attacking the same target!
In contrast, the veterans’ response was as unified and orderly as ever, which was pleasing to the eye!
"Mobile Battalion 1, assist in defense!"
"Water Style: Water Wall" x16
With one sentence of assisting in defense, the sixteen ninjas immediately used the "Water Array Wall" for defense.
And they cooperated perfectly without any overlap.
The only four people absent were not because of any failure, but because they were eliminated in a surprise attack by the twelve jonin among the new recruits.
If those four people had not been eliminated, they would all act in unison!
This is the effect of training by enforcing orders and prohibitions, this is - the art of war!
The next moment, Crow Feather's instructions continued.
"Attack the first and second battalions, draw your swords!"
At the moment when the water wall fell—
"Charge! This battle—must win!"
At that moment, the murderous aura that came towards them was enough to scare away many new ninja recruits!
They had never seen a battle like this!
The chaotic battlefield suddenly became orderly at this moment. Every move of the opponent was like a precise machine, linked together!
Efficient and deadly!
At this moment, there are many new recruits who have just performed ninjutsu in front of the assault camp.
In order to perform ninjutsu at close range, they put themselves at a dangerous distance.
At the same time, due to the lack of communication and cooperation between teams, when they are in a vacuum period of their own ninjutsu, there are no teammates around to cover them!
"This battle—must win!"
The next moment, the crazy guys in the assault camp shouted loud slogans, and at the moment when the "Water Escape·Water Array Wall" was lowered, dozens of people rushed up fiercely like tigers descending from the mountains!
They brandished bamboo swords and chopped down the new recruits in front of them like chopping melons and vegetables!
Even if they occasionally encounter a counterattack from the recruit squad and one or two people are knocked down, the surrounding teammates will tacitly and quickly fill in the position to ensure that the charge formation is intact and cover each other!
With just this wave of charge, the suspense of victory or defeat was shattered!
But Yayu's command continued, not giving any chance at all!
"Recover the team and return to the defensive formation!
The support battalion continues to call the roll!
Mobile Battalion 2, clear out the flanking targets!
The assault battalion is resting and preparing for the next charge!"
At that moment, Brother Tumu, who was leading the team around, was stopped by the fast-moving ninja of the Second Mobile Battalion.
Even these senior ninjas couldn't help but reveal obvious despair on their faces.
On the sidelines, the ninja in charge of the statistics of the new recruits had a flushed face and looked very excited. He turned his head with admiration and looked at Shiba Kiyokawa beside him!
Is this the reason why the leader was smiling and so confident just now?
It’s really——too powerful!
