Chapter 228 Red and White Confrontation: First Battle
"That must be Uchiha Madara over there!"
On the other side, in the White Army command room, Senju Hashirama and others were also holding a combat meeting.
They are all ninjas who came from the first generation, and their ways of thinking and processes are highly similar.
Of course, they must have thought of what the Red Army thought - after all, it was a common logic.
Since it's a confrontation, and since we want to protect the treasure, of course the most powerful one has to come.
However, compared to the side of Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Madara, the atmosphere here is a little more peaceful.
After all, they have the first Hokage.
Who was the first Hokage?
He was the man who united the Uchiha clan with his own strength during the war-torn era and defeated Uchiha Madara twice.
With people like this around, they definitely don't have to worry about their treasures.
So now they just have to think about how to deal with the other party’s treasure...or in other words, how to deal with Uchiha Madara.
Although due to the rules, their signature skills are restricted.
But on the other hand, Uchiha Madara was also limited.
"With the Sharingan and Susanoo restricted, even Uchiha Madara wouldn't be able to defeat a hundred alone."
Some ninjas fell into beautiful visions.
Of course, he knew Uchiha Madara's reputation, and he also knew how destructive he was...
But that presupposes the 'Sharingan' and 'Susanoo'.
Without these, wouldn't Uchiha Madara be like a tiger with its teeth pulled out?
After he finished speaking, he actually won some agreement and approval.
That's right.
Without his signature brand, he has been greatly affected, so there is no reason why Uchiha Madara can't do it.
Besides, I've never heard of Uchiha Madara being a ninja who excels in physical skills or close combat.
On the contrary, Uchiha Shisui was very good at swordsmanship back then...but even brothers have their own strengths and weaknesses.
For example, Senju Tobirama doesn’t know Wood Release.
Thinking of this, more people felt relieved.
Only Senju Hashirama shook his head.
"It's not that simple."
The Sharingan and Susanoo are certainly his trademarks, and the main reasons why he can gain such a great reputation.
But it is never the 'only reason'.
After all, neither Sharingan nor Susanoo are
Something you have from birth.
Before all this happened, didn't Madara still survive by relying on his powerful strength and become the absolute main force of the Uchiha clan?
"Then don't we still have Hashirama-sama?"
However, the others did not pay attention to the profound meaning of Hashirama Senju.
"You are the one who defeated that Uchiha Madara many times."
In the ninja world, the winner is king.
Since we were the winners in the past, there is no reason why we cannot be the winners this time.
"——Of course we also understand what you mean, Lord Hashirama. Don't worry, we definitely don't mean to look down on Uchiha Madara."
Seeing that Senju Hashirama was still very concerned, someone spoke up to ease the atmosphere:
"After all, he is Madara-sama. We will definitely choose the right people and won't do anything rash."
After hearing this, Hashirama Senju felt relieved.
Those who are doing this are people who once stood at the top of ninjas, so there will definitely be no problem.
"What do you think?"
Looking at the 'sand table' displayed in the Mirage Technique, Ugetsu asked Uchiha Shisui next to him.
Although he was not completely ignorant, war, especially the battle between ninjas, was not Yu Yue's area of expertise.
After all, in the ninja world, one person can really fight against half the world.
In the presence of such 'bug'-level characters, it is really difficult to judge based on conventional conditions such as the number of people and whether the terrain is favorable.
As for combat effectiveness, that's even more ridiculous.
They are all people who can shape the moon... How do you judge this?
See who repaired it better?
It’s not like we chose Tony to design the look.
Yu Yue thought about it for a while but couldn't find a standard to judge, so she chose to "seek help on the spot".
"this……"
For the first time, the boy was stumped.
Although he wanted to give Miss Yu Yue an answer or reference, he finally shook his head honestly: "To be honest, I don't know either."
"Can't you see that?"
Yu Yue raised an eyebrow in surprise and looked at the boy with interest.
"After all, these are the first generation of you."
As Uchiha Shisui spoke, his eyes could not conceal his excitement.
The first five Kage, plus the second generation who inherited their power and will... In addition, there are
It is Lord Uchiha Madara, who is a legendary figure even among the Uchiha.
Being able to see these people hold competitions for their members without involving the survival of the village...
As a ninja, how could he not be excited?
He's so excited!
It was at this time that Uchiha Shisui showed the youthful enthusiasm that a person of his age should have.
This is a lifetime... no, even if you count the next lifetime, there will definitely not be a second time for this scene.
"Looking forward to it?"
"Of course!"
Who doesn’t look forward to this?
Uchiha Shisui answered subconsciously, but he didn't realize who he was talking to until the words came out of his mouth.
A look of shyness and embarrassment immediately flashed across the boy's face.
Although it was an unprecedented event for the ninjas, such an irrational reply to Miss Ugetsuki... maybe he didn't practice enough.
It’s not that Uchiha Shisui doesn’t accept shortcomings, it’s just in front of Miss Ugetsu.
He always hopes to give the other party the most perfect response.
It's just a little selfish motive of his.
Even if it's just a little bit more, he hopes that the impression he leaves on Miss Yu Yue is always that of the best and most reliable one.
"After all... these people are legendary heroes to the ninjas of our generation."
He explained awkwardly.
But as the saying goes - to explain is to cover up.
This explanation makes it even more awkward.
Although I would like to see Shisui's rare panic a little longer.
After all, no matter what he faces, Shisui always seems to be able to handle it with ease.
One can't help but wonder what he's like when he's not calm.
But if this continues, the other party might run away in shame...
Yu Yue thought it would be better for her to quit while she was ahead.
Although there are definitely some regrets.
But they still have a lot of time, so there is no need to worry about this moment.
So she looked away and took the initiative to move on to the next topic.
"Who do you think is better?"
"In terms of strength, of course it's on Madara-sama's side."
Uchiha Shisui hesitated for a moment before speaking.
This is not because Uchiha Madara is of the same clan as him, but it is the answer he got after seeing it.
"Although it was Hashirama who defeated Madara-sama in the previous battle, Madara-sama has Tobirama-sama is not only the Second Hokage, but also Hashirama-sama's younger brother. Whether in terms of strategy or his understanding of Hashirama-sama, there are quite a lot of things he can do."
"In addition, the first collaboration between the Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage is also something to look forward to."
Although in past records, the two have always been evenly matched opponents, and even ended up perishing together...but on the other hand, such a result also proves that both sides possess powerful strength that is difficult for others to intervene.
"Of course, Lord Hashirama's ninjas are all excellent, but in comparison, their tacit understanding may be a little weaker. In addition, there are two people on the other side who know him very well, so he will inevitably be targeted..."
"Of course, with the powerful strength of all of you, and considering that Master Hashirama himself is also one of the most powerful people in the world, it is not too difficult to overcome these."
——Of course it feels uncomfortable to be targeted.
But the prerequisite is that the opponent itself has enough weaknesses that can be targeted.
But if the opponent himself is a hexagonal display like Hashirama Senju, the difficulty will increase rapidly... plus his partners are also veterans who have been through many battles.
It is hard to say how much of a role the strategy can play.
Yu Yue touched his chin:
"So, there is no breakthrough here, Mr. Madara?"
According to what Shisui said, it does seem that Mr. Madara has a higher chance of winning.
After all, no matter how much you try to make up for it, there are still weaknesses.
"Of course not."
Uchiha Shisui shook his head again and looked at Uchiha Madara and others who were taking action.
"On Madara-sama's side...just the matter of 'trust' is a huge problem."
Unlike Hashirama Senju, there has never been any rumor that Uchiha Madara and Senju Tobirama had a good relationship - on the contrary, the fact that the two did not get along was recorded in the clan.
Add to that the Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage who died together in the past...
If both parties cannot put aside their differences and cooperate, then all the advantages mentioned above will no longer exist.
"...In short, it's impossible to tell who will win or lose until the very last moment."
Yu Yue was no longer obsessed with the answer.
——Rather, competition is
It's because you never know what the ending will be until the last moment, which makes people unable to stop.
After saying this, Yu Yue looked around again.
Although the mirage technique has been maintained well, but...
"Where are Kakuzu and Scorpion?"
Why does it seem like I haven’t seen these two for a while?
“It’s really hard to judge.”
The same question also exists in the hearts of other people who are watching this battle.
Although they are all elites from various ninja worlds, looking at the two evenly matched sides, they are extremely excited but it is difficult to tell the winner for a while.
After all, this lineup is really too luxurious.
In the history of Ninjago, there has probably never been a more luxurious lineup than today's, almost to the point of being 'luxurious'.
Although they are all Kage, the first generation were those who relied on their own strength to integrate countless ninja clans during the Warring States Period, and brought them together to form powerful ninja villages.
Although there was also a sense of crisis caused by the cooperation between Uchiha and Senju to establish Konoha, what if these first generations were not strong enough - even if they were slightly weaker.
The other ninja villages will not accept this.
That's right, the "audience" of this competition is far more than just the ordinary spectators present, but also includes the high-level officials and elites of various ninja villages.
When it comes to major events involving the first generation of each ninja village, of course it is impossible that only the first and second generation who were resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation from each village will come.
Instead, the top leaders and elites from each village followed suit.
After all, they are the first and second generations of their family. If something really happens or they get into trouble, they have to stop it or deal with it as soon as possible.
In fact, the ninja village held several meetings to discuss whether or not to allow the first and second generations to come on this trip.
Even though these people were once heroes of the village.
But in the final analysis, that was 'the past', and the ones standing in front of him again at this moment were not the ones who once lived in this world and were willing to sacrifice everything to protect the village.
Instead, he used forbidden techniques to call back the "dead" from the world.
What would those who have passed away think of this world when they look back on it... No one knows.
Some even think that they should not have sent Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama out for a "tour" from the beginning, but should have sent them back home as soon as the moon crisis was resolved.
Just cancel the summons of the Impure World Reincarnation technique and let them return to dust.
——Of course, such opinions are always in the minority.
After it was proposed, it was passed without even any discussion.
This is of course not to say that everyone is against it.
There are actually quite a few people who support it in their hearts, but after seeing the "great achievements" of the first generations and recalling the previous scene of "the moon changing", no one else dared to stand up and respond.
Are you kidding? What if I respond and I become the executor?
Although the actual executor is definitely the one who is the summoner, he doesn't want to stand up and be the one to notify people to do the work, and then become a thorn in the eyes or a punching bag of the first and second generation adults.
Their little bodies are no harder or stronger than the moon.
But if we really don't care and leave people alone without a time limit or anything to do...
To be honest, they are also uneasy.
Therefore, Yu Yue's proposal actually helped them with their urgent needs.
Of course, matters concerning the first and second generations should be resolved by the first and second generations.
They are all of the same generation, so they have more common topics than with younger people like me.
Even if something did go wrong, even if there was a fight...it was all done by people of their own generation.
It has nothing to do with these 'young people'.
Watching the first and second generations who are either having heated discussions or have already taken action.
The ninjas couldn't help but sigh again:
"Ms. Ugetsu, you are indeed the person who knows ninjas best in the world."
Every decision can solve their problems just right.
Miss Ugetsu, you are truly the lucky star of the ninja.
Without her, let alone things in the past, they don’t know how to solve the problems of the first and second generations today.
"Don't talk about things that everyone knows."
Although the person next to him said this, it was obvious that he very...did not agree.
If there were any 'Top Ten Most Touching Ninjas' in this world, they would have given Ugetsu an unprecedented number of votes.
"That still needs to be said. After all, gratitude cannot just be buried in the heart..."
"Shhh - look! The two sides are moving! They're about to collide!"
Looking at the painting in the mirage technique
The previous person stopped talking about this topic and turned to stare at the picture in the mirage technique with excitement.
After intense preparations, the red and white armies on the isolated island began their respective actions.
Although it is just a small island, there are still a few participants.
However, both sides were still prepared for a great war in the Ninja World.
The main force, scout troops, advance troops...
The ninjas who were assigned tasks were rushing towards their mission goals.
If we were to say what the difference is between the first generation and the current Kage and the high-ranking officials in the ninja world, apart from their strength, it is that they are different from the ninjas who are used to being from the same village.
The first generations who established the villages had to be better at arranging ninjas from different ninja clans who had never cooperated in the past.
——After all, the ninjas they faced at that time were all like this.
Don't say we haven't cooperated before.
Many of them even came from different ninja clans and had conflicts or hatreds with each other.
How to avoid these situations from affecting work was originally part of their daily work at that time.
Everyone was already an expert, so faced with this even lowered difficulty situation, they were able to handle it with ease.
Both sides quickly understood their respective situations in the shortest time possible and then assigned different tasks without wasting any time.
Although the contestants were still confused, having someone give instructions was much better than letting them run around like headless flies.
Although the origins of these "mysterious guests" are unknown, they have all proved their strength with practical actions - no matter how you look at it, they are much stronger than people like them.
Of course, there are still some doubts.
"Let us come out as bait...really just bait."
A young ninja couldn't help but mutter to his new companion.
"It better be."
The boy from another village, with whom he had never worked together before, responded calmly, but if you looked closely, you could notice that there was actually some anxiety in his eyes.
"…But even if it's not, there's nothing we can do."
He said this and sighed.
"After all, my skills are inferior to others, and I was assigned this kind of work..."
"How about we find a way to run away...?"
The ninja who had spoken earlier made a gesture as if to escape.
"We didn't come here to participate in this red-white competition.
That’s right…”
Before the man finished speaking, someone jumped out immediately.
"Brother! You want to run too?"
When they looked closely, they found that it was someone from the other side.
"What? You too!"
"Of course, who would want to be cannon fodder in such a weird competition? The honor is not ours!"
“That’s right!”
“That’s right!”
The two sides hit it off right away.
When they saw each other, they were as affectionate as brothers who had been separated for many years.
The two sides even discussed passionately how to escape.
However, when the later people responded positively,...
"you!?"
The young ninja, feeling the critical hit on his vitals, looked at his 'brother' who had just been giving him advice with disbelief.
A pure and kind heart has already suffered great trauma and has experienced the dangers of the world early on.
"I'm sorry, we're here for the win, too."
The ninjas, who had been as close as brothers before, looked cold.
"But who made you so naive even though you're a ninja?"
In the boy's reprimanding eyes, he said in a cold voice.
"Naivety is the last thing a ninja needs."
Young ninja, out.
As for the beginning saying that they were quitting and that they were a "decoy group" and so on.
That's not entirely a lie.
After all, their goal is to attract these weak-minded people and then take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
If we can reduce the enemy's manpower by one, we'll do our best.
——This insidious move was certainly not taught to them by the first and second generations.
Although they also listened to the eating habits of both meat and vegetables at that time.
But the main point is to show the real skills on the battlefield. They will not do such insidious and sinister things.
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the ninjas at that time would never believe it.
"Today's ninjas are still too naive."
The deceptive ninja couldn't help but sigh.
"Really?"
A companion's voice came from the side.
"Yes, otherwise how could he be fooled by us so easily?"
Although he did have control over some people's minds, he still didn't expect to be able to deceive them so easily.
"If we continue like this, we will definitely be the most efficient group!"
Even if they are now 'comrades-in-arms' in the same camp, there must be a ranking of superiority and inferiority!
"When the time comes... ah!"
However, before he could finish describing his beautiful vision, he felt a heavy blow to his vital point.
I turned around in disbelief and saw that the person I thought was my "companion" just now had another face.
——The 'companion' who had just helped him eliminate the enemy camp had been replaced by someone else.
And I was attacked without even realizing it.
"You say others are naive... but you're actually not much better."
The ninja who eliminated him smiled, then turned around coldly and no longer paid attention to the "defeated opponent".
When the work is done, he will leave, hiding his achievements and fame.
Such group fights are happening everywhere on the island.
All kinds of bizarre and outrageous operations not only shocked the audience outside the stadium, but even the leaders of the Red and White Armies could not help but show expressions of doubt about their lives.
They originally thought that after the incident with the moon, nothing would be able to touch them anymore - after all, they had been ninjas all their lives and had even been shadows and tailed beasts.
I've seen all kinds of storms.
No matter what happens, it won't shock them anymore.
But now.
What is happening in front of me now...
I'm sorry, they really haven't seen it.
“Young people today…”
A first-generation person showed an expression of toothache.
“So lively!”
Senju Hashirama immediately took over his words.
Although he was also very surprised, he thought, "It's actually possible to do this."
But I am still optimistic and think this is a good thing.
After all, only those who don't face separation and death every day and don't worry about not seeing the sun tomorrow can have the time and energy to think about other things.
The fact that these kids can do things like this, and find methods that seem inconceivable to others... that's proof that their lives are better now.
Senju Hashirama felt that he was already one of the most unconventional thinkers among ninjas, but he thought that he could not think of such a unique angle and solution.
So he didn't think these people were messing around, he even thought they were very interesting.
“Nonsense!”
But there are also traditionalists who can’t stand it .
As a traditional fighter, the Raikage's brows were twisted into knots.
"What does this look like."
This will certainly eliminate some people, but small-scale conspiracies and tricks will ultimately not amount to anything.
He turned to look at the others: "Let the main force go, I will lead the team."
Ninja, then you should show your true skills on the battlefield.
Soon, the fighting style changed from small-scale intrigues from all sides.
It became a regional level battle.
And with the addition of the White side's main force, the Red side began to suffer a setback on the battlefield.
Even if they can only use the most basic ninja tools, the first generation is always the first generation.
They are those who have been going to the battlefield since they were able to hold ninja tools. They are fundamentally different from the students who only began to be exposed to the cruel side of the ninja world after graduating from the ninja school.
Fortunately, the Second Tsuchikage was nearby and was able to stop the elite main force led by the Raikage himself in time, preventing the enemy from advancing directly into their own territory.
But that is just 'resisting', not 'defeating'.
After all, he is the Raikage who is known for his martial arts skills.
Compared to the second generation Tsuchikage whose advantages were limited by ordinary ninja tools, he is still stronger.
After several exchanges, two marks of being hit in vital parts appeared on the Second Tsuchikage's body.
If there is one more problem, he will have no choice but to leave with regret.
The spectators, especially the ninjas from the Iwagakure Village, broke out in cold sweats.
Second generation master! Hold on!
No matter what, you must not be the first shadow to be eliminated!
The Second Tsuchikage certainly knew the risks involved.
His movements also became more erratic, mainly relying on dodging.
In the past, he was known for his elusive figure and his mysterious appearance. He was good at using ninjutsu such as invisibility and splitting. With the bloodline elimination and dust release, he could always come and go freely on the battlefield.
Not only can he fight on his own, but he can also coordinate his own range of ninjutsu to give his side a wider view and intelligence.
Now giving up direct attack and turning to defense will maximize the advantage on one side.
However, the Raikage, who had succeeded twice, obviously would not give him the chance to escape.
Since we are fighting, we must fight to the end and get a result.
What does procrastination look like?
The representative of the fighting faction, the Raikage, looked sharp, and a violent murderous intent appeared in his gray-black eyes.
He will definitely eliminate the Second Tsuchikage here!
The method chosen by the Raikage was also very straightforward and direct.
In addition to sticking to the Second Tsuchikage, he also indiscriminately attacked the surrounding red ninjas.
Other ninjas don't have the ability like the Second Tsuchikage.
Faced with the rough and powerful attack of the Raikage, they were all hit.
After a while, several people were eliminated.
Although they are all ordinary contestants, if the current situation continues, they will soon be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.
That's not a good thing.
In desperation, the Second Tsuchikage had to give up his original completely elegant fighting style and began to help others escape the Raikage's attack.
But in this way, he would expose himself to the range that the Raikage could track.
Finally, under the Raikage's attack like a raging storm, the Second Tsuchikage was overwhelmed and revealed a flaw.
Of course, the Raikage would not miss this and rushed over with a swift attack.
...It's over.
The Second Tsuchikage felt a chill in his heart.
At the same time, a trace of guilt flashed through his mind - he was eliminated because he failed to complete his task.
This is something that even death can never make up for.
But at this moment, he really had no other way to deal with it.
He could only watch the attack coming towards him.
However……
With the impact of something being swept away, a voice rang out.
"You weren't this weak when you beat me."!
