The Land of Earth.
Four birds landed from the sky on a rocky, craggy hill.
Smoke billowed, the transformation spell was lifted, and the four members of the Xuanma group returned to their human forms.
"I never imagined I'd be flying through the sky one day!"
Yamashiro Aoba couldn't help but sigh.
Jingyin nodded repeatedly in agreement, her eyes bright and filled with excitement.
My first time traveling in the sky was such a wonderful experience!
Sakumo Hatake was also filled with emotion, but as a teacher and captain, he did not show it and suppressed his emotions: "We are already in the Land of Earth, which means we have gone deep into enemy territory, so we must be on high alert."
Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba quickly composed themselves upon hearing this.
Xuanma asked, "Teacher, what should we do next?"
Sakumo Hatake already had a plan in mind, and he said directly, "Next, we will split into two groups. Genma, you will lead Shizune and Aoba as the captain."
Both Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba were shocked to hear this.
Xuanma remained calm; he had already anticipated this.
Sakumo Hatake continued, "I'll be in charge of drawing Iwagakure's attention, while you take the opportunity to find Iwagakure's stronghold and destroy their logistics hub."
Xuanma nodded: "Yes, I understand!"
Seeing the slightly tense and heavy atmosphere, Hatake Sakumo smiled slightly: "Don't worry, we dare to carry out this plan because we have Genma's summoning talisman."
"Once we've attracted enough of the Iwa ninja's attention, we can naturally activate the summoning talisman and reunite with you."
Upon hearing this, the tense Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba immediately felt relieved.
After resting for half an hour, Sakumo Hatake left the temporary hideout.
Genma then created a clone that transformed into a falcon and flew into the sky, following his teacher, Hatake Sakumo, in this way.
Once Sakumo Hatake finds the Iwagakure stronghold and mobilizes the Iwagakure ninja, his clones will dissipate, and that will be the time for Genma and the other two to make their move.
Meanwhile.
Within the Land of Grass, after Genma and his three clones broke through two ambushes set up by Explosion Release Hunter and his group twice, Shizune's shadow clone finally collapsed during the third battle.
Bakuten-sei, Hikari, and Daishi immediately realized they had been deceived.
The balance of power instantly reversed, with the shadow clones of Xuanma and his two companions becoming the ones trying to buy time.
At Luanshigang, Shizune immediately informed Genma and Yamashiro Aoba as soon as the memories from her clone returned.
"It seems the clones won't buy us much time; Iwagakure will soon find out we've infiltrated."
Yamashiro Aoba was worried about the other side: "I wonder how Sakumo-sensei is doing."
Xuanma reassured him, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems."
"My clone didn't respond, and the teacher didn't use any psychic talismans."
Yamashiro Aoba nodded: "That makes sense."
"Why don't we think about how Iwagakure will deal with us once they find out we've infiltrated?"
Shizune immediately pondered, "They'll probably send out both elite squads and a perception squad to track our movements, and then use the elite squads to encircle and annihilate us."
Yamashiro Aoba turned to Genma and asked, "What do you think?"
-
Genma pondered, "Shizune is probably referring to the style of Konoha."
"Moreover, Iwagakure is facing Konoha's White Fang, an elite Jonin renowned throughout the ninja world. Previously, an entire Jonin squad of theirs suffered heavy losses at our hands."
"Under such circumstances, the safest approach would probably be to use a large force to encircle and suppress them."
"Moreover, this is also an advantage of Iwagakure."
"What they excel at is large-scale military operations and encirclement tactics that alter the terrain."
Genma remembered that during the Second Shinobi World War, Tsunade and the others were once surrounded by Iwa ninja, and Jiraiya almost died.
Another example is the Third Raikage, who was surrounded by tens of thousands of Iwa ninja and died from exhaustion.
The claim of tens of thousands of Iwa ninja might be an exaggeration, but there are definitely several thousand.
Among the five great ninja villages, Iwagakure (Iwagakure Village) is known for its rapid military buildup.
Both Sunagakure and Konoha offer elite education.
Kirigakure is now shrouded in blood mist, a brutal struggle for survival.
Hearing Genma's speculation, Yamashiro Aoba frowned: "That would be troublesome."
"With more troops, our space for maneuver will be constantly compressed, and eventually we will be surrounded."
"Wouldn't that require a huge military force?" said Shizune.
"Would Iwagakure really send hundreds, or even thousands, of troops to help us? That's impossible, isn't it?"
Genma chuckled: "That depends on whether Iwagakure values us, and how much damage we can inflict on them."
He then stood up: "The clone's memories have returned. Sakumo-sensei has mobilized the Iwa ninja; it's our turn to move in."
""
A moment later, three vultures flew out from the rocky hill.
On the desolate and vast land, seven or eight Iwagakure squads were attempting to besiege Konoha's White Fang, who had successively attacked and killed three of their strongholds.
And even more Iwa ninja are gathering here.
They did not notice the three vultures flying overhead.
However, Iwagakure did not commit all its forces to pursuing Sakumo Hatake. They still had a small team of sensory ninjas searching in order to prevent the enemy from having other accomplices.
They might not know the term "luring the tiger away from the mountain," but they certainly understand the tactic.
Soon, Genma brought Yamashiro Aoba and Shizune to the sky above the first location marked by the clone.
Below is a round hill with caves inside, which is one of the strongholds of the Iwagakure ninja, but its purpose is uncertain.
The clones couldn't probe that detailed; they could only sense the Iwa ninja with sensory ninjutsu, and couldn't know the specific situation inside.
If there's white in one's eyes, it's perfectly clear.
The three bald creatures landed near the cave entrance and then deactivated their transformation spell.
Xuanma immediately absorbed the natural energy of the natural world and entered immortal mode, a process that took only 2 seconds.
Because once he enters Sage Mode, his senses can return to normal.
His mastery of the Thousand Branches Spirit Touch made it impossible for him to maintain his senses during battle.
Once Sage Mode is activated, the number of Iwa ninjas inside the cave becomes immediately clear.
"Four people."
"Enter with a clone!"
Genma gave Shizune and the other a secret code, then formed a hand seal and created a clone that entered the cave.
His main body and Silent One lay in ambush on the left and right sides of the cave entrance, while Yamashiro Aoba crouched above the cave entrance.
A moment later, a loud shout and a loud explosion came from inside the cave. Soon after, the sound of air being torn apart rang out, and Xuanma's clone was the first to rush out of the cave.
Following closely behind were three Iwa ninja who rushed out one after another.
Genma swiftly intercepted the first Iwa ninja who had pursued them, Shizune blocked the second one, and Yamashiro Aoba had already prepared his ninjutsu. When the last Iwa ninja was distracted by Genma and Shizune, a powerful fireball accurately hit him, setting the enemy ablaze.
Then, Aoba Yamashiro leaped into the fray to support Shizune.
On the other side, Genma faced a special Jonin from Iwagakure who was also proficient in Hardening Technique, but was countered by Lightning Release.
In Sage Mode, without the need for Substitution Jutsu, he used Lightning Release: Body Flicker Technique combined with swordsmanship to defeat him in just six rounds.
Then Genma turned around and snatched a kill from Yamashiro Aoba and Shizune.
"There are supplies inside the cave, use explosive tags!"
Xuanma shouted, and the three rushed into the cave to set up the explosive talismans, which were then detonated after they came out of the cave.
Rumble!
The mountain shook, and smoke and dust billowed out of the cave entrance.
Xuanma and his two companions headed straight for their next destination without looking back.
When the ninja who had noticed the commotion arrived, they found only corpses and a collapsed cave.
"Damn it, Konoha's White Fang really did have accomplices!"
"How did they get in?"
"Damn it, if we catch them, we'll make them pay!"
The Iwa ninja were enraged.
Tento, the Jonin leading the team, looked grave and sensed something was wrong.
The White Fang of Konoha had drawn most of their attention. Now, there were still people causing trouble in Konoha, and they had killed a squad led by a special Jonin in a short time. Their strength was probably all Jonin.
"Akada, use your summoning beast to immediately send a message to the village, requesting the Third Tsuchikage to send reinforcements."
Tian Dou decisively ordered: "We absolutely cannot allow this elite Konoha squad to continue disrupting our supply lines."
The young ninja named Akada accepted the order and immediately bit his finger to perform a summoning jutsu, summoning a large bird.
A middle-aged Iwa ninja next to him had already written down the intelligence, rolled it into a stick, and tied it to the bird's claw.
The large bird flapped its wings and flew towards Iwagakure Village at top speed.
Having done all this, Tian Dou shouted, "Chase them! Even if we can't stop these Konoha bastards, we must prevent them from causing any destruction!"
A chase game is about to begin.
After destroying the second Iwa ninja stronghold, Genma sensed the pursuers behind him.
The distance is 15 kilometers.
We're very close now.
Stop and wait, then launch a counterattack from the comfort of your own time?
Xuanma suppressed the thought.
If your location is locked, staying there for an extended period of time is not a wise choice.
Because there's definitely more than just one Iwagakure squad chasing them now.
Moving on to the next one!
can't stop.
Even after recovering their strength, they still need to eat soldier's rations and drink water on the road.
As the sun sets, on a hilltop covered with sparse shrubs, Sakumo Hatake is bandaging his wounds with a first-aid kit.
Down the mountain, more than 50 Iwa ninja had already surrounded the area.
This is the second time that Sakumo Hatake has been surrounded.
Last time, only about twenty people surrounded him, but he broke through the encirclement and fought his way out.
However, since all Iwa ninja use the Iron Cannon Technique, even with Hatake Sakumo's extremely high speed, he could not remain unscathed in the face of such a saturation attack.
Fortunately, they were all superficial injuries.
Bandaging to stop the bleeding will generally not affect combat effectiveness.
"I hope things are going well for Xuanma and the others~"
While watching the Iwa ninja who had built many obstacles and traps using Earth Release techniques at the foot of the mountain, Hatake Sakumo was thinking about Genma and his two companions on the other side.
However, he wasn't too worried.
With Xuanma as a disciple, there's not much to worry about in terms of safety.
After the wound was bandaged, the Iwa ninja below were ready.
Under Sakumo Hatake's gaze, the numerous Iwa ninja simultaneously formed hand seals.
Earth Release: Rock Gun!
One by one, the Iwa ninja opened their mouths and spat out tiny pebbles. The pebbles spun and expanded rapidly in the air, growing to the size of date pits, and then pierced the air as they swept towards Hatake Sakumo on the mountain.
Moreover, after spitting out a rock bullet, the rock ninja can continue to spit out rock bullets one after another without having to form hand seals again.
