Konoha: Sage Body

A great war is unfolding in the Land of Rain, and the two sides at war are none other than Kumogakure and Amegakure.

Kumogakure's reason for waging war on Amegakure is very simple and violent, it is that one of their ninja has disappeared after entering the Land of Rain, and they have requested that someone be sent forward to conduct an investigation.

To this, Amegakure initially agreed, but the investigators sent by Kumogakure were simply too many, amounting to thousands, including more than twenty jōnin and more than three hundred congregation members, such a number of ninja forces, to say that they were here to investigate a missing person was undoubtedly a mirage.

Such a number of ninja forces alone would be powerful enough to destroy an effect, such as the Kusagakure.

Kusagakure was the most powerful wall-riding faction in the Shinobi world, and its armed force, the Kusshinobi, was also the most skillful in the Shinobi world, and in the face of Kumogakure's rude request to send a large number of ninja troops to station in their country, they accepted it without much consideration, and were even willing to listen to Kumogakure's drive, with the aim of merely wishing to obtain a portion of the spoils of war.

To this, Kumogakure agreed.

Thus, thousands of grass ninja acted as the vanguard of Kumogakure, and together with thousands of cloud ninja, they pressured Amegakure at the border in a big way.

Amegakure is not like Kusagakure, its fierce nature dares to show its sword to any major country.

Therefore, in the face of Kumogakure's plot to invade the Land of Rain under the guise of investigation, Amegakure decisively dispatched a large number of ninja troops to confront them at the border.

In the end, not knowing which side's ninja was the first to lose their temper, they threw a Kunai with an explosive tag at the other side, and a great battle broke out.

The border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Kusagakure was just like the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire, separated by a large river, a large river with a width of thousands of meters.

Ever since Hattori Masanari returned to Amegakure and made some drastic reforms to Amegakure, Amegakure's defense force at the border has been strengthened, not only sending a large number of elite Amegakure ninjutsu to garrison the border, but also building strong fortresses that are easy to defend and hard to attack.

For example, on the border of Land of Rain and Kusagakure, there are three huge military forts, each of which has thousands of ninjas stationed in it, and there are a dozen smaller forts around the three military forts, each of which has at least a hundred ninjas stationed in it.

The three forts were divided in a triangular shape, with two on the borderline and one behind the center of the two, and within this triangle, a dozen smaller forts were divided in a triangular formation.

These military forts all had means of contact with each other, and if any one of them was attacked, the other surrounding forts would be able to react quickly and send reinforcements to support them.

When Kumogakure faced this fortress formation put up by Amegakure, their attack strategy was very Kumogakure, directly pushing all the way to the flat, but they also have wise military behind the scenes, did not have the head iron of choosing to attack the hard to gnaw big fortresses, but instead attacked to destroy the small fortresses as the main focus.

Kumogakure combined with the power of Kusagakure, the combat power that erupted was naturally extraordinary, and it only took a week for them to consecutively capture ten small military fortresses.

If it wasn't for the numerous traps set by Amegakure along the way to stop them, they would have captured even more military fortresses.

However, when Kumogakure captured multiple small forts along the way and began to penetrate deeper into the Land of Rain's hinterland, they began to fall into a siege by the Ame-Nin, and the Rain Ninja in the three large forts united their forces and dispatched a full 4,000 ninjas to encircle the invading thousands of Kumogakure and Kusagakure allied forces.

The battle took place on a large river within the Land of Rain.

A truly great battle began since the outbreak of war between the two sides.

"Kill!!!"

Bloodthirsty and crazy killing sounds continuously resounded on the battlefield, both sides' ninjas went crazy, all kinds of ninjutsu and ninjutsu tools flew on the battlefield, continuously landing on both sides' ninjas, causing countless flowers of blood to blossom on the battlefield.

The blood of countless fallen ninja dyed the wet battlefield and the big river red.

The Ame-Nin showed great tenacity because behind them was their homeland, and in order to protect their homeland and their homeland's friends and family, most of them chose to be brave and fight head-on against the wolf-like Kumogakure and Kusagakure allied forces.

However, Amegakure just ended the war with Konoha more than a year ago, even if the domestic economy is recovering very quickly, after reforming the Amegakure to obtain very abundant development funds, but the growth of ninjas never rely on a year or two years to grow up.

In such a short period of time, Amegakure only expanded the number of ninjas to 80% of its heyday, 8,000 ninjas, of which the number of shinobi accounted for 80%, and the strength of these shinobi is generally very poor, most of them are just some rookies who mastered the use of chakra and ninjutsu, and did not even complete the mastery of the three-body art.

In terms of ninja quality, today's Amegakure is simply no match for Kumogakure.

From the point of view of the troops invested by both sides, Amegakure had to outnumber Kumogakure by four times, but since the beginning of the war, the battle losses had remained at the point of ten for one.

On the battlefield, the most striking thing was always the duel between the strongest.

In order to win the war and boost morale, Hanzo of the Salamander, a war general-type leader, decisively went into the battle first, summoning Hanzo of the Ibuse to go on a killing spree on the battlefield, spewing out horrific poisonous gas and killing many Cloud Ninja and Grass Ninja, resisting a great deal of pressure all by himself.

The Kumogakure had obviously been prepared for Hanzo, and when Hanzo showed up, the Gyuki jōnin Blue B immediately showed up, and he led a coalition of ten elite Jinchuuriki to encircle and kill Hanzo, giving this Amegakure leader plenty of face.

Hanzo had long been used to fighting more with less, in the face of the enemy's siege, the method he chose was to take the easy way out first and then the hard way out, decisively using the water shunshin technique that he had practiced to the point of perfection to continually open the distance between himself and Blue B, and then waiting for the opportunity to strike at those elite jōnin.

"Damn it, if you have the ability, don't run around and fight me head on."

Blue B, who had turned on his three tailed beasts, used his three tails to whip the Salamander Ibuse some distance away, and then cursed at Hanzo, who at that moment had just collected another Kumogakure elite upper jōnin with his scythe.

Up until now, Hanzo had already consecutively harvested four elite jōnin, while he couldn't even touch a single hair on Hanzo's head.

The name of a demigod was truly not for nothing.

This Shinobi world demigod is really too powerful in this place where it rains all day long, and his battle sense and battle experience are so far beyond normal people that his siege with the other Kumōnin elite jōnin can't work at all, and the other party has always been able to easily find a crack to break away from the siege, and then find a chance to make a counterkill.

Four tails was the limit of Blue B's tailed beast, and he wanted to use them to destroy this ninja demigod who was as slippery as a loach.

But he didn't dare to do so, because once he used his four tails, he would probably lose control in this battlefield full of killing scents, and then be reduced to a helpful existence.

Hanzo heard Blue B's curses and he didn't even bother to answer, his eyes not showing any hint of emotional fluctuation since the beginning.

Absolute calmness was exactly the magic weapon that allowed him to stay alive on the battlefield.

He didn't need to pay attention to anyone, it was enough for him to just continue to keep his rhythm of killing.

He quickly made a seal and used the Water Release - Water Formation Wall to create a solid water wall to block the attack of a Kumogakure Elite jōnin, before using the Water Shunshin technique once again and disappearing from the spot.

When he reappeared, he had already appeared behind another Kumogakure elite jōnin.

This Kumogakure elite jōnin is also a good swordsman, Hanzo just appeared, he noticed, and he does not lack the ruthlessness, ferocity, and recklessness of Kumogakure, even if he knows that his opponent is Hanzo, who is one of the best swordsmanship in the ninja world, he dares to turn around and swing his sword to meet the attack.

The result was that he was cut off by Hanzo's head next.

The gap between swordsmanship is not something that can be made up for by a single stroke of blood and valor, and the slightest difference is enough to be fatal.

What's more, in Hanzo's eyes, this Kumogakure elite jōnin's sword skill hadn't even reached the level of a dengaku.

Water Release - Water Formation Wall.

Water Release - Instantaneous Art.

Blade Technique.

These were the moves Hanzo had been using in this sparring match, plain and simple, but enough to make Blue B and the other Kumogakure as if they were on the verge of an attack.

"Damn."

Seeing that Hanzo was determined not to attack him head on, Blue B decisively turned his head and looked towards an Amegakure military fortress in the distance before opening his mouth and a massive ball of black and blue chakra began to appear and then mix.

In less than a moment, a basketball-sized ball of black chakra appeared on the battlefield, and it was still expanding.

As soon as this chakra ball appeared, it erupted with terrifying chakra fluctuations, causing the hearts of countless ninjas on the battlefield to jump with fear.

Bijudama.

This was Blue B's strongest card after he became a Gyuki, but this move was very difficult to use, the time to build up power was still a bit long, and it also consumed chakra, so he usually didn't use it out in the middle of a battle.

But who made Hanzo of the Salamander not to fight with him head on, he had to use this move to force Hanzo to come over.

If Hanzo didn't come over, then he would simply use this move to crush the military fortress not far away.

This distance was enough so that his Bijudama shooting accuracy and power would not receive too much of an impact, and he was confident that he could crush Amegakure's small military fortress with a single blow.

"Don't you dare."

Hanzo immediately realized Blue B's intentions and spoke coldly, an angry look in his eyes.

The military fortress could never be destroyed, it contained a large number of Amegakure's wounded and supplies, and once the military fortress was gone, the battle here would be over.

Blue B's intentions were clear to the other Kumogakure.

The five remaining Kumogakure elite jōnin decisively attacked Hanzo in unison.

Lightning Release - Scattering Drops!

Lightning Release - Thunderclap Arrow!

Lightning Release - Black Panther!

Lightning Release - Emotion Wave!

Lightning Release - Lightning Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Five powerful Lightning Releases were fired at Hanzo and the other Amegakure ninja around him who were trying to stop Blue B. Hanzo and the other Amegakure ninja had to dodge.

"Ibuse!"

Hanzo exclaimed as he dodged.

As soon as the words left his mouth, a Salamander broke out from underneath Blue B, opening its mouth wide to bite Blue B down.

But Blue B had already sensed the arrival of this cunning mountain pepper fish, three flexible tails like arms instantly extended towards the spikes like the Salamander Ibuse topped the ground.

At that moment, the Bijudama in front of Blue B's mouth had expanded to the size of a plate, which was the ultimate size of the Bijudama that Blue B was currently able to control.

The next step was to release it.

With a fierce heart, Blue B gave birth to a strong killing intent and released the Bijudama.

"Hahaha~, just destroy it."

In Blue B's mindspace, Gyuki shouted madly, excited by the horrific carnage Blue B was about to inflict.

The black Bijudama instantly shot towards the military fortress at high speed, creating a terrifying energy pressure right along the way, plowing a deep trail on the ground.

In the military fortress, the Ame-Nin who had been holding out had long since discovered the arrival of the Bijudama, and more than twenty Ame-Nin who were proficient in the Earth Release Ninjutsu, under the command of a jōnin, used the Earth Release - Earth Style Wall in unison.

In a flash, more than twenty huge and thick earth walls blocked the path of Bijudama.

Unfortunately, the Bijudama's power was too strong, and each of the earth walls, which were enough to block a jōnin's jutsu, were shattered by the Bijudama as if they were broken.

However, the Ame-Nin's efforts were not in vain, because for every one of these earth walls that was shattered by the Tailed Beast Jade, the trajectory of the Bijudama's attack was altered a little bit, and by the time the Tailed Beast Jade shattered more than two dozen of them, the Tailed Beast Jade's trajectory of the attack was already completely shifted away from the military fortress.

"Boom!!!"

Finally, the Bijudama exploded in the air hundreds of meters away from the military fortress.

"Well done."

Seeing this, Hanzo praised, and for the first time, he was happy that Hattori Masanari had established an Earth Release unit belonging to the Amegakure.

Earth Release Force, this is Kirito's White Zetsu clone vest Hattori Masanari after obtaining the rights of the Amegakure began to strive to create out of the specialized ninja force, this ninja force currently staffed with five hundred people, all of them are proficient in the earth release and collective earth ninja.

After a year of building road sections and military fortresses throughout the Land of Rain, this ninja force has gradually grown into a more mature force, and is now just waiting for the test of blood and fire.

From what I've seen so far, the building of this ninja force has been quite successful.

"Unbelievable, is this the Iwagakure's demolition unit?"

Blue B said in surprise as he watched his Bijudama actually being defused by a group of Earth Release ninjas using a simple defensive Earth Style Wall, instantly seeing the shadow of Iwagakure's Demolition Force in these ninjas.

However, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and he no longer had time to think about whether or not Iwagakure was secretly supporting Amegakure.

A chakra-covered scythe suddenly appeared from the flanks, cutting at his neck like lightning.

The sneak attack of the Shinobi Demigod had come.

After seeing firsthand the threat Blue B posed to the military fortress, Hanzo decisively chose to risk a great threat by killing Blue B first.

The Earth Release forces were able to block Blue B's Bijudama once, but that didn't mean they could do it again and again.

In the face of Hanzo's attack, Blue B was not afraid, and even felt a little joy, he did not hesitate to use his left hand to block Hanzo's scythe, and then his buttocks instantly grew a new chakra tail, stabbing at Hanzo like a spear.

Wound for wound.

In the next moment, the chakra tail pierced Hanzo's body, but the scythe was unable to cut through Blue B's neck that was covered with a high density of tailed beast chakra.

"Hmph, not ..."

Blue B laughed coldly as he watched the unwilling eyes of Hanzo in front of him, but he had barely gotten halfway through his sentence when he felt a deadly crisis.

In the nick of time, he forcefully moved his body.

The sharp tip of the blade pierced through the middle of his chest.

The Hanzo in front of him dissolved into running water, and it was obvious that it was just a water clone that was disguised as a real one.

The real Hanzo, on the other hand, appeared behind him and used the scythe in his hand to give him a fatal blow, and had he not reacted fast enough to avoid the vitals, he would have been dead by now.

After Hanzo got his hands on Blue B, he didn't care if he killed Blue B or not, he decisively retreated with his water shunshin technique, which allowed him to avoid subsequent attacks from Blue B's other tails.

"AHHHH!!!"

The sharp pain coming from his chest caused Blue B to scream in great pain.

A crisis from death began to be born in Blue B's mind, causing him to stifle a hint of fear.

In the mindspace, Gyuki, who had been closely watching Blue B, immediately seized this gap in Blue B's mind and injected a large amount of chakra containing deep darkness into Blue B's body.

"ROAR!!!"

In an instant, a terrifying chakra erupted from Blue B. Blue B covered his head with both hands before letting out a beastly hiss of pain.

"Oh no, Blue B-sama has lost control."

The surrounding Kumogakure saw this scene, many of them were no strangers to this, and their faces changed drastically as they lost their voices, revealing fearful gazes.

On the border between the Land of Rain and the Kusagakure, in the temporarily constructed base camp of Kumogakure, some perception-type ninja quickly noticed Blue B's loss of control, and they hurriedly reported the news to their superiors.

Soon, the Sandaime Raikage, who had secretly infiltrated the Land of Rain, received the news.

"Damnable Amegakure, to make my brother receive such pain, unforgivable."

Sandaime Raikage dealt angrily when he learned that Blue B had been seriously injured and stormed off.

As he spoke, he removed the Raikage hat from his head and the Kage robe from his body, intending to move to the battlefield.

The secretary at the side, Erui, knowing that it was impossible to stop the Sandaime Raikage from going into battle bare-chested, warned, "Lord Raikage, please be careful of this man Hattori Masanari, up until this point in the battle, this man as well as the Abyss Division that he leads have been slow to show up, he is definitely plotting something, so please be extremely careful."

"I know, but don't worry too much, I'll take care of it."

Sandaime Raikage nodded and said, then immediately turned on his Lightning Release Chakra Mode and rushed towards the battlefield where Blue B was in a ray of blue electricity.

As soon as Sandaime Raikage left, Erui immediately ordered an ANBU ninja, "Lord Raikage has left, tell everyone to wake up and must protect the main camp."

Sandaime Raikage's speed was very fast, and with him traveling at full speed without sparing any exertion, in less than half a minute, he came to see the battlefield where Kumogakure and Amegakure were fighting.

By this time, Blue B had gone completely out of control and the chakra tails on his body had grown six.

After losing control, Blue B received the influence of Gyuki and was attacking Kumogakure's ninja in a big way.

The situation on Kumogakure's side was very bad because of Blue B's power. As usual, the Kusagakure were obedient to their wallflower nature, and after smelling the scent of defeat, they decisively chose to retreat.

The situation on the battlefield quickly reversed.
