The second generation Mizukage wasn't joking.
After all, those two of them led the village's ninjas to fight.
Those were real swords and guns, and you could lose your life if you were not careful.
Every time they met, both sides were prepared to never come back... If only such an enemy could be defeated so easily.
Isn't that also a slap in the face of his old rival?
“You came just in time!”
The Second Tsuchikage did not respond to his teasing.
He took advantage of the momentary gap created by the Raikage to successfully escape, and then said to the Second Generation Mizukage, Kizuna.
"You should take your men and retreat first. You can't waste time here meaninglessly."
Although they were fully prepared, to be honest, this 'Red and White Confrontation' was indeed out of their control from the very beginning.
Whether it is the mode of battle or the 'method' chosen by these young ninjas.
In the view of the Second Generation Mizukage and his men, the so-called "group battle" should be to use the orthodox ninja tactics to fight.
Including but not limited to encounter battles, ambushes, luring the enemy deep into our territory and other means.
So when they made the arrangements, they only considered the losses of each group...
I never expected such a bizarre operation to happen.
——They can only sigh, "Times have really changed."
At least the young people at that time would not be so credulous of outsiders, nor would they instantly decide to start with their previous teammates because of the so-called "grouping".
Thinking of the group that came to report and vividly describing how they lured their former teammates into the trap, they were speechless.
...But no matter what, they are all young people on our side.
In addition, the world of ninja is full of intrigue and deception, and there are endless ways of using tricks.
So we can’t say that his method is wrong.
No, in a sense, this ability to adapt flexibly and strong psychological endurance (at least not falling into the guilt of having to deceive one's companions) can be considered a rare ability... right?
However, this has also thrown many of the original plans into chaos.
According to Senju Tobirama's calculations, the time they had originally determined for the main force to leave the field would be even later.
Of course, this is not a big problem.
after all
The battles between ninjas are always changing rapidly and anything can happen.
It's fun to watch the younger ones fighting each other.
But for these 'shadows' of the past.
It turns out that it’s more fun to do it yourself with real weapons.
——After all, the things on the moon were too uninvolving, so much so that these once powerful people who were awakened with tasks and missions were filled with anger.
So when faced with the order from the Second Tsuchikage to lead his men to retreat, the Second Mizukage simply scratched his ears.
"Huh? What are you talking about? I can't hear you."
"Oh, my Impure World Reincarnation body is really hard to use."
As he spoke, a wanton smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned to face the First Raikage with murderous intent.
"——Otherwise, how can you not hear what your old rival has to say?"
Almost the moment the words fell, the Second Generation Mizukage disappeared from the spot.
When he appeared again, the Raikage was knocked back half a meter.
"But I'm sure that Raikage-sama would also think that's a super boring suggestion."
"……certainly."
The Raikage, whose feet left half a meter scratches on the ground after being hit hard, brushed off the dust from his shoulders.
"Ninja, of course we have to fight."
The same words were spoken and the same person disappeared on the spot, but this time it was no longer a sneak attack from one side.
Instead, the two sides collided with each other and started fighting as if no one was around.
Every move he makes is a killing move.
The people on both sides had thought about going up and beating up their leaders, but they were just faced with the strong force created by the fists and kicks that could make them stagger all over the place.
Even if they tried hard to help, they couldn't find the opportunity.
If they rush forward, they might not only fail to help, but also hinder others.
That would be a waste of time.
"My Lord, what shall we do?"
Faced with this situation where they didn't know what to do, the Red Team had to seek help from the Second Tsuchikage who was still present.
Although the Second Tsuchikage was angry at his enemy's reckless behavior, he also knew that the other party was just like that. In the past, at least he had the village to support him, but now that he no longer had to take on the responsibility of being a 'kage', it was time to let him go.
However, this does not
Not entirely good.
In this way, the first Raikage was delayed, and he could take this opportunity to take the people here away, and then notify the command center to let them lead the elite team to launch a surprise attack on the other side.
The White side can suddenly send out its main force to catch them off guard, and then we can also take advantage of this gap to launch a surprise attack and directly attack the headquarters.
Thinking of this, the Second Tsuchikage did not dare to delay for even a second, and immediately led the surviving ninjas to withdraw from the battle here, thus avoiding being completely annihilated.
"Sir? What about you?"
Seeing that the leader who had commanded people to retreat did not evacuate with them, one of the young men could not help but turn around and ask.
"I'm right here."
The Second Tsuchikage responded in a deep voice.
"My responsibility lies here. I will not leave until the mission is completed."
What's more, that guy is still here.
"...Besides, I can't owe anyone a favor."
I would die with regret if I owed that guy a favor but couldn't repay him.
Countless thoughts flashed through the Second Tsuchikage's mind in an instant.
As a 'Shadow' known for his strategy and intelligence capabilities, he was constantly analyzing the situation on the battlefield.
Reason told him that he should actually go back. As the "brain", what he should do is to control the overall situation, analyze the intelligence and make decisions.
It is not impossible to fight back, but he needs to use his "brain" to maximize the benefits.
The Second Tsuchikage did this every time in the past.
Just like his name 'Wu'.
He will no longer be an 'individual', but a part of the Iwagakure Village, a 'part' of the Iwagakure Village's operations.
...But this time, he wanted to act impulsively .
Rather than "maximizing profits", he would rather complete his mission as an ordinary ninja.
Don't worry about the consequences or success or failure.
"……grown ups?"
The young ninja's voice brought the Second Tsuchikage out of his thoughts.
"Go, bring our intelligence back to the headquarters."
He waved at the young ninja.
"I will once again stick to my post, and you should also do your job."
Although the young ninja still had a lot to say, he knew that he could not stay here alone to block the opponent's attack.
What does main force mean?
But after changing color several times, he just gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word: "...Yes!"
The fact that the senior made this decision proves that the other party must have been prepared.
What I have to do now is to live up to the other party’s efforts.
...No matter what, the information must be handed over to the headquarters as soon as possible!
The Second Tsuchikage stood there as if he had taken root, watching his departing back.
Yes, that's how it should be.
As young people, they should realize their own value and do things for the future.
And people like myself.
Seeing that he could no longer see the young ninja's back, he turned around and walked in the opposite direction he came from.
"I didn't expect that after fighting for a lifetime, we would be side by side after death."
Since you have decided your own ending.
Before that, of course, I have to repay the favors I owe.
"We can't let that guy be the hero all by himself."
The figure of the Second Tsuchikage walked farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
"What? The White Army is deploying its main force now?"
When the Red Army headquarters learned of the White Army's movements, there was an uproar.
Due to the restriction of only being able to use "supply packages" to fight, the means of obtaining intelligence for both sides have returned to their original level.
Relying on leaving secret codes, smoke signals, and manual transmission.
However, considering the members of the other side's command center, this result is not an exception.
After all, it is a group that brings together the most radical fighters... Oh no, it should be said that it is a group that brings together the most radical fighters at that time except Uchiha Madara.
Plus there are still two generations of Raikage.
Although considering the remaining time, such an action is indeed a bit radical, but on the other hand, isn't such a surprise attack also a kind of "attacking the enemy when they are unprepared"?
They must have anticipated that their side would not launch a direct frontal attack in the early stages, so they wanted to take the opportunity to capture the city first.
Although one of the simpler conditions for winning is to extinguish the opponent's incense burner, it is also a strategy if you can unexpectedly wipe out a large number of their manpower and put them in a passive situation of outnumbering the enemy.
Although this is indeed a bit radical, as long as all the members outside can be wiped out, even if it costs some money, it is acceptable.
"——Is this the point of discussing now?"
Senju Tobirama stood up with his hands on the table.
"The other party has already launched an attack, so what we should do now is to find a way to deal with it, rather than just analyzing the other party's reasons."
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally buzzing temporary meeting room suddenly became quiet:
"We should go save the Second Tsuchikage and Mizukage first. Losing two of our main players at once will have a huge impact on us."
"No, I think we should organize our forces to launch a surprise attack on the White Army, just like the Second Tsuchikage-sama said."
"The enemy's main force has already moved, so there is a vacuum in the hinterland - if we launch a surprise attack at this time, we will definitely achieve results."
So what if the other side still has strong men like the First Tsuchikage?
We have enough manpower on our side.
Especially when you are caught off guard... the advantage is on me!
Each side has its own reasons and supporters.
After several arguments without any result, they turned their attention again to Uchiha Madara and Senju Tobirama who were in the lead.
"this……"
To be honest, Senju Tobirama was also in a difficult situation.
This is not to say that he is reluctant to sacrifice - in fact, sacrifice is a part of a ninja's career, and Senju Tobirama has long learned to strip away emotions and judge only with reason.
Even if this "reason" requires sacrificing certain people or even one's own life.
He certainly supported the Second Tsuchikage's judgment on the surprise attack.
But what others said also made sense. If they lost two shadows at the beginning, it would indeed have a huge impact on them.
In battles between ninjas, numbers are important.
But this is also between Chunin and Genin.
Facing powerful beings at the level of Kage or quasi-Kage, ordinary middle and lower ninjas, even if there are hundreds or thousands of them, will be useless.
That’s why there are battles between soldiers and soldiers, and generals and generals.
If the problem is not resolved through other means in the end, and is dragged into a head-on confrontation, the vacancy of the two shadows will definitely be a shortcoming that is difficult to make up for.
But a surprise attack is also a golden opportunity...
He was in a dilemma.
"There's nothing to worry about."
Just then, Uchiha Madara's voice broke the deadlock.
"Why don't we all go?"
Jaewoo
In Chiha Madara's opinion, there was no "choose one or the other" answer from the beginning.
What's the point of choosing between two or three? It's because you don't have enough strength and can only give up one or two of them.
On the contrary, of course you can have them all.
"I'll lead the team to attack, and you go rescue people."
He stood up indifferently and prepared to walk out.
"Wait!"
Senju Tobirama's brows were almost twisted into knots.
That's why he hates people who act in an unorganized and undisciplined manner the most.
He used to be the big brother, and finally I no longer had to worry about him, but then Uchiha Madara popped up.
What sin did he commit in his previous life?!
"That's right. No matter what, someone has to be in charge of the command center."
It’s just like when they were fighting, there had to be someone left behind to command the base camp.
Otherwise, what if someone robs your house?
Some people remembered that Uchiha Madara went out to wander shortly after the establishment of the Ninja Village, and thought that he might not know the importance of this, so they wanted to explain it to him.
However, before he could organize his words, he heard Uchiha Madara say:
“Why does someone need to be in charge?”
There was a hint of doubt in his tone: "Does the winning condition of this competition include the option of destroying the headquarters?"
“That’s not the case.”
Apart from completely destroying the other party members, there are only these two ways, that is, extinguishing the incense burner.
"Then what's the point of keeping people guarding the headquarters?"
In Uchiha Madara's opinion, clan land, headquarters, and even ninja villages are only meaningful if there are people there.
If no one, no one else, gave it special meaning.
Then they are just some buildings.
It makes no difference whether it is a street or a building.
It’s just like himself, not because he is the notorious Uchiha Madara in the Uchiha clan.
Even if he comes out and goes anywhere.
As long as he is still Uchiha Madara, he is the one who can intimidate countless ninja villages and clans.
Ah this...
Okay, that seems to be the case.
None of the conditions for victory have anything to do with the headquarters.
From the beginning to the end , it seems that they are the only ones who value the existence of the "command center" ...
This is a bit embarrassing.
Before being led into the inertial thinking
The top ninja leaders all shut up.
They all reacted at this time.
What Master Ban said is absolutely correct.
The importance of this command center is entirely because they habitually believe that as a force, they should have such a core.
That's why they chose to cut down trees and build houses as soon as possible to get it out first. They also took great pains to prepare various hidden means.
After all, in people's perception, if someone attacks the headquarters directly, that would be the day when this force would be doomed.
Whether it is the ninja clan in the past or the ninja village later.
But they all forgot that this was not a positional battle.
The winning conditions have nothing to do with what they think is the 'base'.
If it is just a place for meetings, they can always create ten, eight... or even dozens of more.
Anyway, we are all ninjas, so we can always catch up no matter where this place is set up.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone was disguised in their Impure World Reincarnation bodies, someone would probably blush on the spot.
Hearing this, the smart brain that Senju Tobirama was proud of was blacked out for a second.
That's right, the headquarters has nothing to do with the victory conditions.
Then they don’t need to keep anyone extra to take charge…wait.
Senju Tobirama's brain started working at high speed.
He suddenly realized something.
That is, since they value the command center so much, then the eldest brother must have similar habitual ideas.
In this way, they can even use this headquarters as 'bait' and strike back.
"I see."
Senju Tobirama stood up.
"That's it, then."
He looked around and motioned for everyone to come closer to him.
"first……"
"What do you think Mr. Tobirama will come up with?"
Ugetsu, who saw through the mirage technique that Tobirama Senju was quietly arranging something, finally couldn't help but ask about Uchiha Shisui again.
"Maybe we should talk about the bilateral parallel thing again."
The boy gave a more conservative answer.
Facing these real big guys from the past, my little cleverness is definitely not enough.
So Uchiha Shisui did not recognize
Feel free to comment on the actions of adults.
"I also know that they are preparing to act separately."
This was Kakuzu's special high-definition 'Mirage Technique' with sound effects, so Ugetsu could naturally hear their discussion - it was just that the whispers were so deliberately lowered that they couldn't be heard clearly.
Faced with Uchiha Shisui who only gave a mediocre answer, Ugetsu sighed.
Suddenly I miss the "bullet screen" in modern society.
In the past, I felt annoyed when there were too many comments when watching something, but now when I watch such a wonderful program and want to discuss something with someone, I especially miss the barrage with all kinds of remarks and jokes.
Shisui... No, ninjas are good in every way except that they are too reserved and serious in this aspect.
Especially when facing these ancestors again.
"But in this case, I'm afraid Mr. Hashirama will suffer a small loss."
After all, they really seem defenseless.
Yu Yue adjusted the position of the adjustable seat, leaned back beautifully, and then turned her gaze to the display screen on Bai Fang's side.
Just as Senju Tobirama guessed, the main forces of the White side also gathered in their own command center to continuously analyze intelligence and discuss countermeasures.
"The Raikage and the main force were stopped by the Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage?"
Hearing this answer, the White side was also quite shocked.
——It’s not that I was shocked by these two people.
After all, they already knew that these two people were in the red camp.
They were shocked that the two men would put aside their past grudges and fight side by side.
“This is really…”
Some people shook their heads and gasped in amazement on the spot.
Should we say that the world is changing too fast, or that people change after dying once.
After being brought back to this world by the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, it seemed that things happened every day that they could not understand and did not know how to deal with.
For example, the combination of these two people - you have to know that in the past, these two people were mortal enemies, and they even died together.
"Well done, Madara and Tobirama."
Hashirama Senju liked this kind of scene of shaking hands, making peace and fighting side by side the most.
He would be happy no matter whether it happened to himself and Madara, or to anyone else.
After all, one more person shaking hands and making peace means one less dispute in the world.
If conflicts continue to decrease like this, won't there be no more wars in the world?
That’s not a good thing!
“…Is this the time to talk about that?”
A shadow sighed.
He had no idea what Hashirama Senju was so pleased about.
No, it should be said that they have never understood Hashirama Senju in the past.
To be happy for your enemies is, to put it nicely, magnanimous.
To put it bluntly, isn't that just meddling in other people's business?
What does other people’s goodness or badness have to do with you?
"Then we should send out reinforcements."
The first Raikage was indeed powerful, but after all, he was restricted to using only the most basic ninja tools and talismans.
The first Raikage had such terrifying power that it would be great if we could use one tenth of it.
Even if the opponent can also use one-tenth of it, when the number is 'two', the First Raikage will probably still be at a disadvantage.
As the strongest combat unit besides Hashirama Senju (only in terms of physical combat power), if it is destroyed here, then the White side's surprise attack will be a failure.
inappropriate.
"But I'm afraid Raikage-sama wouldn't want to be rescued by others."
The reason for providing support, after all, is because we feel that the opponent's strength is not enough to cope with the next battle.
As soon as the man finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and refuted:
"Is this the time to say this? What matters is winning, and we must unite for this goal!"
The Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage on the Red Side can fight side by side, there's no reason why we can't!
"That's true... After all, we should send someone to provide support."
"I'll go."
With a direction, the White team's command center began to operate at high speed.
Even considering that the Red Team might send people to support in order to kill the First Raikage on the battlefield, they sent out two Kages to support at once.
On the battlefield composed of the first Raikage, the second Mizukage, and the second Tsuchikage, the battle was also in a stalemate.
In addition to the Second Tsuchikage who had been targeted twice before, the Second Mizukage and the First Raikage also had an extra mark on their bodies.
These scars are like hands, constantly tugging at the hearts of the audience outside the stadium.
In addition to those who do not know the truth, the audience who simply enjoys the battle
We.
Those high-ranking officials from different ninja villages were really worried.
In addition to being proud of their own shadow's wonderful offense and defense, none of them wanted their village's past shadow to be the first to leave.
As a result, every time the two sides fight, there will be various noises outside the field.
Some people gasped, while others breathed a sigh of relief.
Some people were so anxious that they kept turning in circles.
If you don’t know, you might think this is the door of a delivery room, and everyone is anxious about the new news in the delivery room.
But they also had to admit it.
The first generation of adults were really strong.
This strength does not just mean that they have extremely strong fighting ability - this is certainly one of the reasons.
But more importantly, it is their experience and mentality.
No matter how simple the ninja tools are, they can exert terrifying power in their hands.
No matter how thrilling the scene is, they can make judgments and react in a split second.
This is also the reason why the battle has remained stalemated until now.
——If it were any one of them, they might not be able to withstand the pressure and would be defeated.
Especially the second generation Tsuchikage.
But he directly joined the occupation with two key marks.
If you are not careful, you will be eliminated in the next second.
However, he still made progress with the Second Mizukage and fought back and forth with the First Raikage.
Not only was he not timid, he also cooperated with the Second Mizukage to give the First Raikage a fierce blow.
The ninja tools are still the same ninja tools.
Talisman paper is just a joke to them.
But in the hands of these people, it was played with in various ways.
This smoke charm is used in conjunction with steel wire and kunai to create a trap.
They used the impact of the detonating talisman to destroy the surrounding area and restrict the enemy's actions.
It's not so much a simple 'red and white match'.
This looks like...
"This is a textbook way to use ninja tools."
Someone murmured.
"What?"
The person next to him didn't hear the other person's words clearly and couldn't help but ask another question.
"I say, do you think these images are simply textbooks on the use of basic ninja tools?
”
The man became more and more certain as he spoke.
"The current education for children is mainly focused on illusion techniques and ninjutsu - physical techniques and the use of ninja tools, which are just the most basic ones. Once they pass the exam, that's it."
"But in fact, for ninjas, these are the most basic!"
In past battles, have you ever encountered situations where chakra was exhausted, or there were only three or five ninja tools left at critical moments?
"If you can use each ninja tool accurately at a time like this, you will most likely be the winner."
Many times, ninja battles are not all about whose ninjutsu is more powerful or who knows more techniques.
It's just a little bit of luck and skill.
When he said this, he began to regret it again.
"Damn it! Such a wonderful battle should be shown to the children in the school! Let them know the importance of these basic ninja tools."
I believe that after watching such a battle, those children will no longer underestimate these most basic ninja projects.
"You're thinking too much... Look! Reinforcements are coming!"
As that person spoke, a fourth person flashed across the screen.
Because the three men's combat range was large and their destructive power was strong, the young men who had originally followed the Raikage were either dispersed to other troops or avoided the center of the battlefield to prepare for battle.
If there are any other changes, that's when they'll come on stage.
Therefore, the fourth person who suddenly appeared at the core of the battlefield stood out.
Faced with the sudden appearance of this person, not only did the Raikage on the opposite side raise his eyebrows.
Even the Second Generation Mizukage and Tsuchikage, who were in a tough battle, opened their eyes wide in surprise.
How come he is here!?!
