Chapter 295: Battlefield
“Controls me? I need to teach this little girl a lesson.”
Kushina helplessly looked at Tsunade and said: “I’m not controlling him, it’s more like a partnership, he’s my friend.”
Naito stood on the Nanabi’s back, looking at Tsunade and Kushina.
He decided to leave them in the Rain. Even if Kushina wanted to go with him, he wouldn’t let her. As for Tsunade, she just came from there she needed to rest.
Suddenly under Naito’s command, the Nanabi waved his wings then flew away toward Konoha’s direction at an incredible speed.
“Is that Naito-Dono?!”
The Ninjas and the Civilians saw this scene and couldn’t help but reveal a confused expression.
The Nanabi who was carrying Naito on his back flew straight into the sky, and soon he passed directly through the thick clouds and reached a higher point above it.
The Nanabi’s speed was incredible. It didn’t take him a lot of effort to pass the whole Rain Land and cross the Fire borders.
The sky was almost clear, and there wasn’t a lot of clouds just from a glance, Naito could see the land below them. The place was in a mess, chaos was the only word that could describe the situation in the Land of Fire.
The traces of battles could be seen everywhere.
Looking at this scene, Naito had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, he couldn’t help but think about his experience in the Second War and how he was struggling to survive at the time.
Now Naito was standing in the sky and overlooking at this war!
.........
The outer zone of the Fire Land.
Although he still didn’t reach the inner of the Fire Land, there was an ongoing battle.
Thousands of Shinobis from Konoha came together, forming a huge army with the lead of Konoha’s White Fang.
However, the army’s morale looked really low, even Sakumo who was leading them had a dull expression.
They came there to block the Sand advancement.
Defending against one Bijuu was hard enough, but now even the Sand has dispatched the Ichibi and attacked them which made the pressure even worse for Konoha.
Although they had Sakumo with them, even he couldn’t stop these endless rampages of the Ichibi. Konoha was under enormous pressure, and the casualties were even worse.
They were in a big disadvantage. Obviously, Konoha couldn’t defeat the Sand Forces, but they had to find a way to block them because if they didn’t, the Sand armies would reach the Village, and Konoha will fall.
Sakumo didn’t try to comfort the Ichibi’s Jinchruiki. Instead, he attacked the Sand’s army behind. However, he didn’t expect the Fourth Kazekge to be the one who personally leads the Sand Forces.
Sakumo and the Fourth Kazekag fought against each others several times, he as Konoha’s White Fang was naturally strong, but the Fourth Kazekage wasn’t that weak too.
These several encounters with the Kazekage didn’t prove Sakumo’s strength as Konoha’s White Fang, but how weak the Sand’s Fourth Kazekage was.
No matter how many times he tried, the Kazekage couldn’t break Konoha’s defense.
In the end, the Kazekage fell back and left the task to Ichibi and his armies.
Sakumo knew this was his chance to put an end to this battle before he looses all of his men.
“This time we’re gonna try and seal the Ichibi, but first we need to defeat the Sand’s army, later we retreat again, and hit the Ichibi with all what we got.”
Sakumo knew that the morale of his team was on the verge of collapsing at any time. Thus, he needed to act fast.
After he gave the instructions, Konoha’s Shinobis regrouped themselves immediately.
They were outnumbering the Sands army, but the Ichibi’s power alone was worth hundreds of men. However, he didn’t have a choice, these were all the men Konoha could provide him, they were the last line before the Village!
Suddenly a huge figure appeared from a distance in the middle of the battlefield. Just from its appearance, the whole battlefield trembled, even the ground under them started moving and turned into Sand.
Seeing the Ichibi’s appearance, made Konoha’s Shinobis movements stagnated, it doesn’t matter how many times they encountered him, he has never failed to make them panic.
Even the elites had a bit of fear in their eyes.
The amount of Chakra he was surging was enough to make them feel terrified!
“Don’t panic!”
Under Sakumo’s command, sixth of the finest Jonins in Konoha’s army rushed toward the Ichibi and attacked him!
The Ichibi looked in a state of incomparable anger. He was being used by humans for a while now, every time they release him they use him to attack then seals him back again, which made him feel furious and considered all the people in the battlefield enemies!
Because the seal wasn’t completely broken the Sand Shinobis has only needed to close it to suppress the Ichibi, on the other side, Konoha Shinobis were in a bigger problem, they actually needed to deal with him every time.
“You damn humans, die!!”
With both hands, the Ichibi surged his Chakra violently turning the entire battlefield into waves of Sand.
“Quicksand Waterfall Flow!”
The sand has surrounded Konoha’s Shinobis from every side, while the Sand ninjas looked like they already used to deal with the Ichibi’s method, after they released him in the middle of the battlefield, they simultaneously withdrew.
Only Konoha’s Shinobis remained!
The Ichibi will not care on what side you are, whether you’re from Konoha or from the Sand, in his eyes, all humans are trash, and they should be all damned!
