Chapter 89: Interception Mission

After Minato's inauguration ceremony, Shui was not busy handing over village affairs to the Sandaime, but instead led the Konoha ninjas to the eastern part of the Land of Fire again, preparing to completely drive the Kirigakure ninjas out of the Land of Fire.

When Orochimaru saw Minato bringing reinforcements as the Fourth Hokage, his face looked extremely ugly. He had fought so hard for so long, but in the end he got nothing, and instead let Jiraiya's apprentice ride on his head.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Dozens of black shadows quickly passed through the forest, and gusts of wind blew with people, rolling up fallen leaves on the ground.

"Stop"

Yamanaka Inoichi, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and raised his right hand to signal. The dozens of figures following behind him quickly stopped after seeing the gesture, waiting for the next instruction.

"Hmm!"

Seeing the eye signal of Yamanaka Inoichi, the leader, Liu Yu hummed lightly. Then he stretched out his right hand, pressed it against the tree trunk beside him, closed his eyes and concentrated to sense it carefully.

"Thirty-one Kirigakure ninjas are retreating towards us from the three o'clock direction, and they are expected to arrive here in eight minutes. It is preliminarily estimated that there are no perceptive ninjas in the enemy camp, so be prepared!" Soon, Liu Yu opened his eyes and reported to Yamanaka Inui.

After hearing Liu Yu's reply, a flash of cold light flashed in Yamanaka Inui's eyes, and then he swung his right hand fiercely. The Konoha people who stopped received instructions and took action one after another, ready to leave behind the fleeing soldiers of Kirigakure.

After the fourth generation Hokage Minato Namikaze led the reinforcements to the front line, the morale of the original Konoha ninjas increased greatly. Taking advantage of the mutual conversion of the combat power comparison between the two sides, Nara Shikaku, as a military advisor, quickly formulated a counterattack plan.

The plan went smoothly. Under the absolute combat power advantage of Konoha, Kirigakure was defeated on the front battlefield. It can even be said that the plan went so smoothly that even Nara Shikaku, the planner, felt that it was not too unreal, but the casualties of the Hidden Mist Village were real. Now the Hidden Mist Ninjas on the front line are fleeing in all directions, trying to retreat and reorganize the defense line.

Liu Yu and his team's current mission is to intercept the fleeing soldiers of the Hidden Mist. Of course, the strength of Yamanaka Inoichi alone is not enough. Now they have temporarily strengthened several teams.

Dozens of figures quickly disappeared and hid in various places. The forest soon returned to peace.

Soon, the forest that had just calmed down was broken again by dozens of figures rushing in.

Bang! ! ! A light breaking sound came.

The Hidden Mist Ninjas who heard this sound all changed their faces. They were able to survive the defeated battlefield on the front line, so they were naturally not rookies on the battlefield for the first time, and they knew that they had been ambushed by the enemy.

Boom! ! !

Before the Kirigakure ninja who triggered the trap first could react, the detonating talisman hidden somewhere exploded, and the body of the Kirigakure ninja who was in the lead was shaken to the ground by the shock wave of the explosion. After spitting out two mouthfuls of blood in pain, he stopped moving and saw that he was dead.

"There is an ambush!"

Accompanied by a sharp reminder, countless kunai and shurikens followed, and the explosion of detonating talismans was mixed in.

"Disperse!" It seemed that a Kirigakure ninja who was leading shouted loudly. The voice was very crisp, and after a closer look, it turned out that the speaker was a woman.

The woman was wearing a standard Kirigakure uniform vest, with white hair and purple pupils, and a delicate face. After the woman finished speaking, she no longer cared about others, and chose a direction to break out.

Indeed, in this situation, their best choice is to disperse and escape in various ways. If they stay and fight the enemy, they will definitely be wiped out. Although there is also little hope to disperse, there is at least a chance of survival.

After hearing the order, the Kirigakure ninjas on the scene dodged the kunai and shuriken shot from all directions and ran towards the periphery of the ambush circle.

At this time, the Konoha ninjas ambushed in various places showed up one after another, wanting to leave these Kirigakure remnants behind.

The clinking sounds of sharp weapons rang out one after another, and the Kirigakure ninjas who were eager to escape and the Konoha ninjas who vowed to leave them behind began to fight hand to hand.

Bang!

The Kirigakure ninja who gave the order at first rushed past, ignoring the kunai in the hand of the Konoha ninja in front that stabbed at the heart between his fingers.

"That's all!" The Konoha ninja who blocked the way saw that his kunai successfully pierced the enemy's body, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He thought that this Kirigakure ninja who looked like the leader was not strong either!

"Huh?"

Soon, the face of this Konoha ninja changed drastically. Because the Kirigakure ninja who had just been stabbed by him did not bleed at all, and the whole person did not show a trace of pain.

Looking more carefully, the place where his kunai had stabbed had turned into liquid without him knowing when, and his kunai had not caused any damage to the enemy. Looking at the enemy again, he saw that the Kirigakure ninja's purple eyes were staring straight at him, with endless cold light in his eyes.

Eager to leave this place, the Kirigakure ninja didn't pay any attention to the enemy's shock, stretched out his right hand suddenly, and rushed directly by twisting the enemy's neck.

Bang!

The body of the Konoha ninja was hit hard against a big tree. The big tree that was hit began to shake constantly, and the leaves kept falling.

Crack! There was a sound of something breaking.

The Kirigakure ninja let go of the Konoha ninja's neck and continued to leave to the periphery. The Konoha ninja before him leaned against the big tree with his neck crooked and slowly fell down, his eyes white, and it can be seen that his throat was broken by the enemy.

"Be careful, this guy is weird."

After all, Konoha was well prepared for this ambush. After the previous ambush, the Konoha ninjas now have an absolute advantage in numbers. Therefore, seeing a Konoha ninja being killed by the suspected enemy leader, three Konoha ninjas soon blocked the way of the Kirigakure ninja. However, seeing that the enemy had just killed a Konoha ninja in an instant, the three of them still seemed very careful.

"Is it over yet?" Looking at the three Konoha ninjas who appeared in front of him, Kizuna Genyue muttered with an ugly face.

Kizuna Genyue was very confused. It was obvious that the Kirigakure Village had already invaded the land of the Land of Fire, but the top leaders actually ordered to stop the attack and withdraw the main force of the army from the front line.

It would be fine if they did not continue to attack while Konoha's combat power was tense, but they could also obtain more benefits from Konoha under the condition of a ceasefire and withdrawal. However, the top leaders of Kirigakure did nothing. Instead, they withdrew the main force of the Kirigakure army when Konoha was in the most dangerous situation, allowing Konoha to breathe a sigh of relief.

Now, Konoha has solved the enemies on other fronts and has shifted the focus of the war to the eastern front of the Land of Fire. After receiving this news, the leaders of Kirigakure refused to send reinforcements, but instead watched Konoha send reinforcements to the front line. Otherwise, Kirigakure would not have suffered such a big defeat this time.

"Are your brains full of tofu dregs?" Hozuki murmured to the leaders of Kirigakure with dissatisfaction.

Looking at the three Konoha ninjas on guard in front of him, Hozuki suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and rushed towards the three Konoha ninjas in front of him.

It's important to leave here now.
