"There is one more information you all should know. Shinobi army of the Rock Village has already been assembled at the border of the Land of Grass; therefore, we must end the conflict with the Cloud village as soon as possible. Otherwise, Konoha's situation would become similar to the time of the 3rd Shinobi War." – Kakashi gave another message.
The conflict between the five great shinobi villages has never been isolated.
When Cloud Village launched a surprise attack on Konoha, Rock Village has already received the news and would naturally respond accordingly.
As the news spread further, perhaps even the Sand Village and Mist Village will also make their responses, but these issues are not what Team-11 can consider right now.
While Kuroto was busy with his thoughts, Shisui asked seriously, "In other words, we can't afford to fail the mission!?"
Kakashi nodded, "We don't have an option of failure, because if we fail, Konoha would fall into an extremely disadvantaged situation like that of the 3rd Shinobi War, no, in fact, even worst situation than that."
However, Guy didn't have the slightest fear or depression, and said, "So what are we doing here standing around? Let's go already!!!"
Kakashi put away the map and ordered calmly, "I will complete the final assault. The three of you are only responsible for providing me with cover by distracting the enemy forces. That's an order."
Listening to Kakashi's serious order, both Kuroto and Shisui nodded, although Guy wanted to object a little but seeing Kakashi's determination he decided to stay silent and nodded firmly.
On the battlefield in the Land of Fire.
In the semi-liberated state, Killer Bee easily blocked the Ino-Shika-Cho Formation attack while sweeping away Choza Akimichi aside with one of Hachibi's tails.
Immediately afterward, Killer Bee rapped in his unique tone, "Yeh, why did Konoha, send only you people?"
Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi looked helpless when he heard this.
In their eyes, Killer Bee, who can perfectly cooperate with the Hachibi is a monster through and through, they could barely even resist him with Ino-Shika-Cho joint techniques.
Glancing around the battlefield from the corner of his eyes, all Nara Shikaku could see was the passive situation of Konoha, feeling anxious he couldn't help but think, "How come Lord Jiraiya hasn't arrived yet? Such monsters are not what we can resist!"
Not far away, Hyuga Hizashi panted heavily as he stared at the black-haired Cloud Shinobi in front of him.
The opponent is no one other than the deputy commander of the Cloud Invasion force. A Black Lightning Kekkai Genkai user.
Before Hizashi arrived here, 2 teams of Konoha ninjas had already been buried in his hands. If not for Hizashi trying to block the enemy, the nearby Konoha ninjas would hardly be spared.
The enemy grinned mockingly, "You are weak!"
Hizashi didn't bother refuting but silently pondered about the countermeasure.
Black Lightning is a combination of Lightning Release and Water Release. It not only has the destructive power of Lightning Release, but also the free control of Water Release, giving a lot of versatility to the user.
Additionally, the enemy deputy commander is also an experienced shinobi with quite an experience in using the Kekkai Genkai, so the power displayed is quite overwhelming, which is restraining for Hizashi.
Looking at the faintly exposed Cage Bird seal on Hizashi's forehead, the enemy commander curled his lips: "Unfortunately, you are a member of the branch family of the Hyuga Clan. Otherwise, I would have been able to collect a pair of Byakugan this time."
Hizashi's expression shrank as soon as he heard this, and he straightened the forehead protector immediately, completely covering the caged bird seal.
These words touched the deepest pain in his heart inadvertently.
On another part of the battlefield.
In the completely liberated state, Nibi's Jinchuriki is almost uncontrollable, the entire battlefield in the region has become a playground for her unscrupulous attacks.
At this time, 8 Konoha ninjas shouted together:
"Earth Release Barrier: Earth Prison Dome of Magnificent Nothingness!"
With their combined shout, a huge amount of mud rose from all directions and suddenly joined together, trapping the Nibi's Jinchuriki in the liberated state inside a dome of earth.
Roar…
However, before Konoha ninjas could breathe a sigh of relief, accompanied by a huge roar, Yugito Nii easily broke through the dome of earth and swept the huge claws at Konoha ninjas.
7 ninjas died on the spot, some managed to dodge but not without being injured.
"Water Style: Water Colliding Wave Technique!"
"Earth Style: Earth Spear Technique!"
"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Technique!"
How could the remaining of the Konoha ninjas watch their comrades falling one after another so, they immediately released ninjutsu attacks without sparing any chakra.
Boom… bang… crack… whish…
Countless ninjutsu was fired at the Human Column Force in the tailed beast state, but not a single attack proved to effective in stopping her.
While in the tailed beast state, she opened her mouth and shot out a huge flame from it. Instantly, the surrounding forest was burning in the flames of death, and all the Konoha shinobi were plunged into the sea of fire.
…cough… cough…
There was only one ninja who was still alive in this sea of fire. His condition was not any better than being half-dead, while coughing-up blood he could only mutter with deep sadness, "If Yondaime-sama and Kyuubi's Jinchuriki were still alive, you people…"
Even before he could finish his words, Yugito Nii crushed him with her claw and snorted coldly: "Unfortunately for you, they are already dead!"
White Fang committed suicide, Princess Tsunade ran away, Orochimaru defected, Jiraya left on his journey, Yondaime-sama and Kyuubi's Jinchuriki died during the Kyuubi's rebellion, the impact of all these events has finally broken out in the Land of Fire!
In the face of Cloud Village's two perfect Jinchuriki, the weakness of Konoha was clearly exposed.
On the side of Team-11.
After a few days of travel, the four shinobi of Team-11 finally arrived at the target location.
The land of Frost and Land of Lightning are adjacent to each other, making it an effective war zone.
This is also the reason why Konoha has very detailed information about the geography of this country; allowing Team-11 to pass-through without much risk to successfully reach the border of Land of Lightning.
Standing at the top of a big tree, Kakashi looked at the valley in the distance and said, "We are here!"
Kuroto observed the surroundings, "A large number of sealing techniques have been arranged around the valley that's blocking Byakugan perception, so I can't tell how many enemy ninjas are there."
Cloud Village has many years of experience against Konoha, so they will naturally take effective measures against Byakugan detection.
Kakashi wasn't disappointed, and said quietly, "In that case, proceed according to the agreed plan. The three of you are responsible for attracting enemy attention and leading away from the guards on the periphery, while, I will execute the final attack!"
Guy tried to say something, "But…!"
However, before he could say anything, Kakashi cut him off, "I am the captain, and this is an order, execute it without any question!"
Shisui also looked at Kakashi, then at Kuroto, hoping for him to do something.
Guy also turned his head towards Kuroto.
According to their belief, if anyone in Team-11 could persuade Kakashi, it is only Kuroto.
Seeing both looking at him expectantly, Kuroto put one hand on the hilt of his sword, tied at his waist, and asked solemnly: "Kakashi, I only have one question, are you sure?"
Without any hesitation, Kakashi replied with a determined look, "Of course I am sure. Rest assured; I will meet you all at the retreat point!"
