Chapter 175: Ninjutsu: Four Purple Flame Formation
Seven days later.
At the border of the Fire Nation, there is an area of rocks with a wide view.
At noon that day, ninjas from the Cloud Ninja and Konoha appeared in the forests on both sides.
When the Konoha side walked out of the woods, all the ninjas stopped where they were, except for the Hokage advisor Utane Koharu, who walked towards the other side calmly and peacefully under the protection of a guard.
As for the Cloud Ninja side, after seeing this scene, many of them looked solemn.
"Third Raikage, be careful!"
A Cloud Ninja stared at the opposite side to give a reminder, while the strong Third Raikage stared at the front with a serious expression, and several perception ninjas began to investigate solemnly.
"In the distant forest, only Konoha's hundred ninjas have stopped and are on standby."
"The surrounding area is open, and no traps were found."
"Safety!"
Following the reports from the perceiving ninjas and the solemnly investigating ninjas one by one, the Third Raikage simply snorted coldly and arrogantly.
"She's just an old woman. We in Kumogakure cannot lose face."
When he said this, the Third Raikage seemed rough, but he was also meticulous. He whispered to his son:
"Ai, since you have inherited this name, you must shoulder the future of Kumogakure. Since Konoha has sent an envoy to negotiate with us, we can just argue with Konoha first and let Sand Village consume Konoha's strength first."
"Father, you have to be careful!"
As a candidate for the Fourth Raikage, the young Ai is also big and strong, even more rugged than the Third Raikage, but this time he is full of solemnity.
Seeing his son's concern, the Third Raikage laughed and said, "Ai, don't forget that our Cloud Ninja army is not far away. If anything happens, we Cloud Ninja can go to war with Konoha directly!"
Under the scorching sun, on the wide land with a wide view, from the Hidden Cloud Village side, only the Third Raikage was walking proudly towards Konoha, not losing the slightest in momentum.
A light breeze blew by, raising clouds of dust, but after the two countries on the border met each other, both sides secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Konoha should be here to talk sincerely!
It looks like the Cloud Ninja didn't notice anything!
For a moment, this thought echoed in everyone's mind.
"Third Raikage, you know the consequences of provoking a war in the Ninja World without authorization. It's not too late to stop now while there is only a little friction on the border."
As soon as they met, Utane Koharu put on a condescending attitude and spoke in a heavy voice with a hint of threat in her words.
However, the Third Raikage immediately revealed an angry expression and shouted:
"You Konoha are shameless. You provoked internal conflicts among our Kumo Ninjas, and now you are acting like this? Then how are you going to settle the account of you Konoha ninjas causing the Tailed Beasts in our village to go berserk?!"
"Third Raikage, you have to be responsible for what you said. Do you have any evidence? Without evidence, it is slander. Moreover, you are the Kage of one of the five great ninja villages, yet you personally led countless cloud ninjas to the border to create friction and provoke a war..."
At the border, one was the Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, and the other was the Hokage advisor from Konoha, who came representing Konoha.
Both sides blamed each other, but the Cloud Ninja in the distant forest secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that we are worrying too much. No matter how strong Konoha is, it now has an enemy from the Sand Village. They definitely don't want to start a war with us easily."
"good."
The Cloud Ninjas breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with ease.
Konoha has been a mountain pressing down on the ninja world since the establishment of the ninja village. Even the most warlike Cloud Ninja would still feel pressured if they went to war with Konoha.
After all, Konoha is the strongest ninja village that defeated four enemies alone more than 20 years ago.
It is precisely because Konoha has too much halo that all the major ninja villages in the entire ninja world overestimate Konoha.
However, Konoha itself was immersed in the glory of the past, gradually lost itself, and underestimated the major ninja villages.
"Even so, we cannot be careless. Tell the barrier behind us to continue to maintain. We must not be careless at all."
"Yes!"
Others may relax their vigilance, but Ai, as a candidate for the Fourth Raikage, frowned and looked into the distance solemnly. He also hoped that he was just being too cautious this time.
But as a man trained by the Raikage, he knew he couldn't make any mistakes.
I saw a transparent barrier covering the woods behind the Cloud Ninja, with hundreds of Cloud Ninjas hiding inside the barrier and waiting for orders.
Both sides are old perverts, or it can be said that ninjas themselves are deceptive.
The Cloud Ninja believed that Konoha definitely didn't want to go to war with them easily, so this was just to be prepared.
Konoha believed that the Cloud Ninjas would never have thought that they, Konoha, would have a shocking plan and would use the excuse of a visit to get closer to the target.
The woods on the Konoha side were also covered by a barrier.
The barriers of the two major ninja villages are almost identical, one is Konoha, which inherited the legacy of the Whirlpool Country, and the other is the Cloud Ninja that plundered the Whirlpool Country.
"The Sandaime-sama in disguise looks so much like Utane Koharu-sama. He actually managed to get close to the Sandaime Raikage."
Inside the barrier, a Hyuga Byakugan jonin solemnly reported everything he saw from afar.
At this time, the Konoha ninjas who had been prepared all around looked solemn.
At this time, the real Utatane Koharu frowned, but after hearing the report from the Hyuga ninja, she breathed a sigh of relief.
What ninjas are best at is gathering intelligence, so it was natural that she went to the Cloud Ninja to talk, but when passing by here, she and Sarutobi Hiruzen performed a perfect substitute trick.
Seeing that the plan was going smoothly, Utane Koharu couldn't help but glance at Minato Namikaze who was solemnly preparing at the side, and said in a low voice:
"Minato, is there a problem this time?"
Inside the barrier, Namikaze Minato was being watched by everyone, and he nodded with a rare serious look on his face.
"Master Utane Koharu, the kunai technique that was hidden in the corner before was not discovered. Although this move is more consuming with people, it will definitely not be a problem."
After hearing this, Utane Koharu revealed a relieved smile. At least this was a good start.
After the two of them talked, the elite jonin of Konoha frowned. They still didn't understand the most important part of the Cloud Village's collapse plan this time.
"Now that we have reached this critical moment, isn't it time for you Anbu to tell us the real battle plan?"
"Yes, I heard that the Third Raikage is extremely skilled in ninjutsu. If we find ourselves in an ambush, we may not be able to intercept them."
Even now, all the Konoha jonin still exuded a solemnity. It was easy to defeat and repel a Kage-level strongman, but it was really too difficult to kill this one.
Among all the Konoha jonin, only Uchiha Ya and Mikoto nodded slightly. They thought of a possibility, that is, Flying Thunder God.
As expected, Utane Koharu glanced at everyone calmly. Under the protection of the Anbu, she said in a deep voice:
"Get ready for battle. Now let me tell you the battle plan. The focus of this Kumogakure collapse plan is the Jonin Minato Namikaze."
"Minato Namikaze?"
When everyone was frowning in confusion, the golden-haired Minato Namikaze smiled modestly and nodded to everyone:
"Well, because I learned the Flying Thunder God Technique from the Second Hokage, I will use the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly bring the Anbu Jonin to the Third Hokage...
Then, together with the eight of me, the ANBU jonin, will set up a barrier to trap the Third Raikage inside, so that he will have no chance of escape..."
As Minato Namikaze continued to speak, countless jonin looked at the young jonin Minato Namikaze in surprise.
"You're so young, yet you've learned the Second Hokage's space ninjutsu!"
"No wonder, this way the biggest problem is solved."
"Yes, with the Third Hokage here, the plan is stable this time!"
The Flying Thunder God Technique of the Second Hokage might be unfamiliar to the new generation of ninjas, but for these senior ninjas, most of whom are around 30 years old, they grew up listening to the legendary stories of the Second Hokage.
The Flying Thunder God Technique was the best in the ninja world at that time.
Everyone was amazed at the return of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to the ninja world, but no one was worried about the safety of their Hokage. It had to be said that the halo was too heavy.
Among the crowd, only Uchiha Ya and Mikoto were communicating secretly. "Tsunade-sama and Kushina are commanding the Konoha troops. Once we send a signal, Konoha will launch an attack on the Kumogakure ninja."
"But can the Third Hokage really defeat the Raikage?"
Even Uchiha Mikoto was puzzled. After all, this was a shadow. However, Uchiha Ye narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice to tease:
"Mikoto, think carefully about the ninja behind the Third Hokage."
"The ninja behind the Third Hokage!?" Uchiha Mikoto frowned. This was a ninja she had never seen before.
However, at this time Uchiha Ye showed a meaningful smile. It was no wonder that the Third Generation was so confident. It was because the arrangement this time was too perfect, and even they themselves neglected it.
Even if no one knew how terrifying this Sanleizi was, no one would have thought that an ordinary ninja could achieve this level through ninjutsu.
"Mikoto, remember to hide your eyes later and don't expose them easily."
Under Uchiha Ye's solemn instructions, Uchiha Mikoto nodded slightly. When she lowered her head and raised it again, the three-magatama Sharingan had already appeared in her eye sockets.
"I already have my contact lenses on."
Under the disguise of invisible three-magatama glasses, there is a pair of powerful kaleidoscopes.
The center of the field where both Konoha and Kumogakure were watching.
"Third Raikage, are you really going to start a war?!"
At this time, Utatane Koharu showed an angry look and questioned again, and the Third Raikage also shouted coldly:
"Advisor Hokage, you should have considered this consequence when you, Konoha, created conflicts and disasters for us, the Kumo-nin!"
Neither side would give in even a single step!
In this solemn atmosphere, a fierce light flashed in Utane Koharu's eyes.
"Then let's begin!"
This irrelevant remark startled the Third Raikage, but before he could react, the ninjas from Konoha Hyuga in the distance saw the hand signal released by the Third Raikage and shouted:
"action!"
The voice was still echoing in my ears when Minato Namikaze and seven Anbu disappeared. When they appeared again, they were already on the battlefield.
"what!"
Both sides were so shocked that they hadn't reacted yet. After a flash of golden light, masked Konoha Anbu ninjas appeared around the Third Raikage.
Ninja Technique: Four Purple Flame Formation
There was no time to react at all. The Konoha Anbu instantly appeared in the four directions of east, west, south and north, and raised their hands to open a rectangular barrier of purple transparent flames.
There are eight jonin, two in each of the four corners, and the barrier they opened is more powerful and solid than the barrier opened by Orochimaru's men in the original work.
At the moment the barrier was opened, the Cloud Ninjas were all shocked and angry.
"Not good! Raikage-sama is in danger!"
"Damn it, send a signal, Konoha has declared war on us!"
"Father! All Kumo Ninjas protect Raikage-sama!"
In an instant, the Cloud Ninjas hiding in the mountains and forests roared and launched an attack.
As the barrier opened instantly, the Konoha ninja who had set up the barrier around the Third Raikage shouted coldly, and at the same time, a triangular barrier appeared around the barrier to protect himself as well.
"Minato are you okay!?"
At this time, inside the barrier in one corner, the masked ANBU jonin Sarutobi Shinnosuke spoke in a deep voice. At this time, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Minato Namikaze's forehead, and he smiled.
"It's okay, it just consumes a lot of chakra."
With seven jonins, continuously performing Flying Thunder God, the chakra consumption was much higher than when he was alone, but it was okay.
At this time, Minato Namikaze looked at the Third Raikage trapped in the barrier, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. He chewed and swallowed a soldier pill, and his chakra was actually consumed by nearly half.
"Kill! The Cloud Hidden Valley Collapse Plan begins!"
"Come on!"
In an instant, roars broke out from both camps. At the same time, the sky exploded. When the ninjas from the Konoha and Cloud Ninja camps on the border saw the flares, their faces changed drastically.
"Not good! Raikage-sama is in danger!"
"All Konoha ninjas, attack the Kumo ninjas that are invading us!"
In an instant, the quiet border was filled with deafening cries of killing. Tsunade, who was in charge of Konoha, frowned coldly and waved her hand to give the order to attack.
"Damn it, Konoha had planned this long ago. We have abandoned the positions on the left and right sides and are going all out to defend the middle. All the Cloud Ninjas are going to fully support the Third Raikage!"
"Hurry up and pass the order. Even if the whole line collapses, we must rescue the Third Raikage!"
The commander of the Cloud Ninja shouted angrily, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of regret for abandoning the position.
Anyway, this is on the land of the Land of Hot Springs. As long as the Third Raikage is rescued, even if the front line fails, the worst that can happen is that the position will be seized by Konoha, and the war will take place on the land of a small country.
It has to be said that the Cloud Ninja commander was calm and decisive. Giving up unnecessary positions instead concentrated his strength.
After all, since Konoha launched a surprise attack, they were naturally well prepared. They might as well concentrate their forces to defend the middle position, so that more forces can rush to support their Raikage.
When the war broke out, the canyon roared instantly. Under the terrifying war machines, huge shurikens as big as houses were fired out, the earth shook, and the dense detonating talismans roared continuously.
The pupils of the Third Raikage shrank inside the Four Purple Flame Array barrier, and he blurted out, "Space Ninjutsu!"
"That's right! Otherwise, how could we trap you, the fastest Raikage!"
At this time, Utane Koharu holding a kunai appeared behind the Third Raikage. The cold voice echoed, which made the Third Raikage furious.
"Konoha! Are you planning to go into full-scale war with us Kumo Ninjas?!"
The Third Raikage was furious; he never thought that Konoha would do this.
The various think tanks of the Cloud Ninja had analyzed countless possibilities before, but without exception no one had thought that Konoha would be so crazy.
Even he, a tough guy who dared to fight the tailed beasts in hand-to-hand combat, was confused at this moment. Is Konoha really going to end up like this?
"Hehe, Lord Third Raikage, it was you who chose war!"
At this time, Utane Koharu's voice turned into a hoarse one, and there was a hint of coldness in her sneering eyes.
"Then let you, the Third Raikage and Cloud Ninja, become the stepping stone for Konoha to intimidate the ninja world!"
The Yunyin collapse plan is also a warning to others!
"court death!"
When he heard that the other party was going to trample on his village, the Third Raikage was immediately furious. Although he was afraid that the other party must have some tricks up his sleeve to do so, he would not be timid.
With a roar, the lightning chakra mode began instantly, the sound of kunai breaking was heard, and with a wave of his hand and a punch, with a bang, Utane Koharu turned into a ball of mud.
"The Kumogakure Collapse Plan begins!"
With a loud shout, Utatane Koharu's clothes were thrown into the air, and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, dressed in combat armor, appeared below.
"It's you, the Third Hokage!"
When he saw the true identity, a flash of shock appeared in the eyes of the Third Raikage. It turned out to be the Third Hokage, the heroic ninja of Konoha. The name of a man is like the shadow of a tree. He immediately prepared to go all out.
The other party is known as a ninja hero, he can't be careless at all!
The black tight-fitting combat uniform has green laminated armor on both sides of the hat and an extra-long strap behind the hat. The shoulders of the combat uniform are equipped with silver protective gear connected to the back, and the word "fire" is written on the protective gear on the back.
At this time, the Sandaime Hokage, who was in his prime, sneered and said, "Sandaime Raikage, you will be buried here today!"
