Arrival

Chapter 53 Arrival

With Orochimaru in charge, the situation in the Land of Rain had stabilized. Konoha then dispatched Jiraiya and a group of ninja to support the eastern front.

This wasn't because they didn't trust the Uchiha, but rather to guard against the Hidden Cloud Village.

The eastern front isn't just fought by the Mist Ninja; there's also the Cloud Ninja. Jiraiya needs to be wary of and resist them.

On the eastern front, the Uchiha clan and the Kirigakure were locked in fierce fighting.

The Uchiha clan is very arrogant. No matter how many Kirigakure ninja come, they firmly believe that they are no match for the Sharingan.

Therefore, they were very stubborn and directly attacked the Mist Ninja who came from across the sea.

Kirigakure is already showing signs of becoming the future land of blood mist. There are also some ruthless characters among the Kirigakure ninja, such as the Kaguya clan, who are truly fearless in battle.

In the early stages of the Third Shinobi World War, the battles between the Uchiha and Kirigakure were extremely fierce, with endless bloodshed everywhere.

"Lord Fugaku, those Kirigakure ninja are starting to gather in large numbers. They're led by the madman Kaguya clan, and their target is us. They plan to charge straight at us!"

A communications ninja from the Uchiha clan anxiously reported to Fugaku Uchiha.

"I understand. Tell everyone to prepare themselves and capture all the invading enemies! Let them know what happens when they encounter the Uchiha on the battlefield!"

Fugaku Uchiha took a deep breath, and his three-tomoe Sharingan slowly rotated, brewing a terrifying ocular power far exceeding that of an ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Also, have Hizashi bring as many men as possible to provide support! We need the Hyuga clan's help to deal with the Mist Ninja's Hidden Mist Technique!"

Hyuga Hizashi was also attacked by a small group of Kirigakure ninja, but after receiving the request, he immediately dispatched a portion of the Hyuga reinforcements.

Normally, the two major dojutsu families in Konoha might clash over the competition for the title of the number one dojutsu family, but such conflicts are insignificant on the battlefield.

War will suppress all conflict and make it seem insignificant; survival on the battlefield is the most important thing.

The Mist Ninja arrived quickly, led by Kaguya Jo, a member of the Kaguya clan with two red dots on his forehead and pale skin. A large number of Mist Ninja followed behind him, attacking the Uchiha camp.

"Come on! Let's fight each other, you Uchiha scum!"

Kaguya smiled menacingly. He was delighted to fight the Uchiha, and he would be even happier if he could kill them.

Fugaku Uchiha stood at the very front of the group, just like Kaguya Castle leading the charge.

"Shisui, be careful, I might not be able to take care of you anymore."

"Understood, clan leader. Don't worry about me, I'll be careful."

Fugaku Uchiha stared coldly at the approaching Kirigakure ninja, his three-tomoe Sharingan radiating a crimson killing intent as he issued his orders.

"Let's do it!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

The Uchiha clan had a significant advantage in fire-style techniques, unleashing a massive amount of fire-style energy that attacked the Kirigakure ninja, appearing exceptionally intense.

But in the next instant, a large amount of fire-style techniques were covered by water-style techniques used by the ninja behind Kaguya Castle, causing a huge amount of steam.

"How ridiculous, they actually used Fire Release right in front of us."

"Be grateful for your bloodline, otherwise we would have wiped you all out long ago."

"Die, you trash of Konoha."

A series of cold, bloodthirsty voices came, attempting to disrupt the Uchiha clan.

However, the Uchiha clan members, having been tempered by the flames of war, had grown rapidly and were no longer newcomers, so they would not be affected at all.

The Uchiha clan fired a large number of kunai at the Mist Ninja, their Sharingan locking onto the attacking Mist Ninja.

Kaguya Castle ignored the incoming kunai, her speed unaffected, and easily blocked it.

However, the Mist Ninjas behind Kaguya Castle were in a worse situation. In order to keep up with the speed of Kaguya Castle, their evasion was affected. In addition, the Uchiha kunai throwing technique was so skillful that many Mist Ninjas were hit.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

Kaguya frowned, looking at the scene with great dissatisfaction.

"Use the Mist Concealment Technique to quickly approach!"

After giving the order, Kaguya Castle immediately increased her speed, completely ignoring the Mist Ninja behind her, and subtly broke away from the main Mist Ninja force, excitedly charging towards Uchiha Fugaku.

A group of Hidden Mist Villagers received their orders, revealed cruel smiles, and began practicing hand seals.

"Hidden Mist Technique!"

The mist, mixed with a large amount of chakra, suddenly dispersed and spread wildly towards the Uchiha camp.

"Silent Killing Technique!"

Fugaku Uchiha gritted his teeth; it was this technique that had caused the Uchiha clan such a great loss.

While the Sharingan does possess X-ray vision, it is not its primary function and cannot penetrate the mist containing a large amount of chakra.

Only when the Mist Ninja attacks at close range can they launch a swift counterattack thanks to the Sharingan's superior dynamic vision.

However, this was a passive approach, and a rapid counterattack could easily fail, resulting in the deaths of many Uchiha clan members.

"Beware of the Mist Ninja's silent killing technique! The Hyuga clan members use their Byakugan to report the enemy's location in time!"

Fugaku Uchiha took the lead and charged toward Kaguya Castle, which looked extremely powerful.

As the head of the Uchiha clan and commander of the eastern front, Fugaku Uchiha was always at the forefront of the battlefield.

Kaguya Castle became even more excited as she looked at the murderous Uchiha Fugaku.

Fugaku Uchiha and Kaguya were the first to clash, followed by a large number of battles between Uchiha and Kirigakure ninja.

what! ! !

The fierce battle began immediately, without any prelude.

Some people cried out in agony and fell down, never to rise again. Various escape techniques flew across the battlefield, and every moment, countless lives were lost on the battlefield.

The battle between Fugaku Uchiha and Kaguya Castle was even more dangerous.

With the help of his three-tomoe Sharingan, Fugaku Uchiha was able to detect Kaguya's movements.

However, Kaguya Castle's honed taijutsu also caused Fugaku Uchiha a lot of trouble, as her beast-like instincts made her even more aggressive.

Fugaku Uchiha's Sharingan spun rapidly, instantly activating a genjutsu that interrupted Kaguya Castle's taijutsu.

"A great opportunity!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fugaku Uchiha left deep wounds on Kaguya's body.

Kaguya Castle, however, was completely unconcerned and instead took the opportunity to launch an attack that killed eight hundred enemies but also injured a thousand of her own, thus injuring Fugaku Uchiha as well.

"A cornered beast's struggle!"

Fugaku Uchiha let out a low growl, watching Kaguya's frenzied state, patiently waiting for him to either decline to death or reveal a fatal flaw.

Just then, a large number of Mist Ninja began to land in the distance.

This puts even more pressure on this already precarious battlefield.

"Haha, I've gathered all the Mist Ninja together, ready to wipe out all the Konoha ninja in one go."

"But I couldn't resist, and after gathering a group of Mist Ninja, I came to fight you."

Kaguya said nonchalantly, quite satisfied with her battle with Uchiha Fugaku.

Fugaku Uchiha's expression darkened. He hadn't expected Kaguya Castle to be so crazy, gathering all the Kirigakure ninja on the front lines, leaving no one on the other defensive lines. Wasn't he afraid that Konoha would attack Kirigakure?

Now, they have no choice but to abandon this stronghold and retreat to buy time.

"It seems that we cannot lead our people to a safe retreat without resorting to some means."

Fugaku Uchiha needed to inform Jiraiya, who was stationed at the eastern front camp, about the situation with the Kirigakure ninja, and request reinforcements.

This requires temporarily blocking the Mist Ninja to buy time for retreat.

Fugaku Uchiha's three-tomoe Sharingan spun even faster, and a terrifying ocular power emerged.

Kaguya Castle sensed this deadly threat and became even more excited and frenzied.

Suddenly, a large swarm of insects attacked, covering and engulfing a portion of the Mist Ninja, thus dividing the battlefield.

"It seems we've arrived at the right time."

Dozens of figures suddenly descended upon the battlefield.

It was Zhiyi's team that arrived.
