Chapter 69: Blood and Screams: Realities of War
The initial Tailed Beast Bomb was charged to its full potential, So it exhibited unparalleled destructive force. Subsequent tailed beast bombs, though less charged, compensated with quicker launch times.
But the ninja with Kage-level strength continued to defend with full force.
Attacks that usually require careful consideration at Kage-level, in Nine Tails' eyes, are like attacks that can be used free of charge.
The onslaught resembled a rapid-fire barrage, akin to a flat-A burst, as the Tailed Beast Bombs traversed the sky, striking the ground like precision missiles, leaving a trail of devastation and claiming the lives of countless ninjas.
The significance of continuous artillery fire became apparent, rendering quantity less critical in the face of such formidable firepower of a Tail beast. Without a strong protector, ordinary ninjas faced the grim fate of becoming cannon fodder, disintegrating into dust.
It's just that this is not in a village or a city, otherwise people living there would know what war is.
Amidst the chaos, voices rang out, decrying the Uchiha as "crazy" and labeling the situation as a trap orchestrated by the Fire Nation.
Many people used various Earth Style ninjutsus and had changed the landscape here.
Earth Style seems to have become the most useful ninjutsu at this time, whether it is hardening or changing the geology for defense.
Thousands of ninjas used Earth Style to wrap up the area, trying to defend against the Tailed Beast Bomb, but even so, many areas were blown open, causing heavy casualties. Especially those villages that are not good at defensive ninjutsu, such as Kirigakure. In the end they used Three Tails directly .
The power of the three tailed beast has enveloped most of Kirigakure's people. Its huge body and three huge tails have quickly opened to wrap the people. The remaining people can only fend for themselves.
The Sand Shinobi Village is actually in a similar situation. Fortunately for them, they can control some of the after effects of the Tailed Beast Bomb by controlling the sand.
Each ninja village's unique abilities proved crucial, those without unique abilities can only wait to die.
Compared to the major ninja villages, the coalition forces of the Fire Country were actually the most pathetic. They were originally just a group of mavericks, So they struggled to match the defencive powers of major ninja villages.
Even the formidable Kakuzu sought refuge underground, opting to conserve energy rather than confronting the relentless bombardment of tailed beast bomb. For Kakuzu defending the tailed beast bomb was not hard, these tailed beast bombs where not that strong compared with the first one, these tailed beast bombs focused more on quantity rather than quality. He also understood why ninetails was known as the strongest tailed beast, because he believed that no other tailed beast will be able to spam this much tailed beast bomb in such a short time.
He don't know how long the bombing continued. Anyway, when it stopped, all the forests here had been destroyed. The ground has sunken into a large area, and is surrounded by crater-like holes, describing what kind of horrific battles this place has just experienced.
The situation of the ninjas is also very strange. They are either hiding underground or using various defensive escape techniques.
Even so, the ninja coalition lost nearly half of its manpower. Most of the remaining people had lost half of their strength before the actual fight even started. Many people's Chakra had been almost exhausted, and there are also many people who are disabled and seriously injured. Their defense is already at their limit, and survival is already very difficult.
The atmosphere in the ninja coalition camp reeked of blood and echoed with screams, epitomizing the harsh reality of war.
Kazuma stared at this miserable scene with his eyes wide open. There was thick smoke and dust all around, and countless ninjas fell to the ground and howled. Kazuma had good luck just now. He was very close to the people at Iwagakure, and he was also good at Earth Style, So he was able to resist with difficulty, but the casualties of the ninja troops around him were no longer certain.
"This is the Ninja War?. Is this how the major ninja villages usually fight?"
Seeing that the people from the Ninja Village were still thinking about counterattack and still had the ability to continue fighting, Kazuma felt that he and the others were really not on the same level as them.
At least in terms of combat. . .
Turning his head, he found Asuma. Asuma stared at a figure and didn't even care about his disgraced appearance and the wounds on his arms. The dust slowly dispersed, and what he looked at was the appearance of Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"The dead have been summoned. ", Kazuma thinks well, but now everything was a complete mess.
The team and army organized by Fire nation had completely lost the formation. Kazuma had no idea at all about how to organize the team of the Fire Country, and even the supporters around him and some of the guardian twelve ninjas also died.
"Uchiha!!!"
"Nine Tails, they all deserve to die.
Raikage let out an angry roar, and the sound was heard far away.
The Raikage turned into an afterimage and was already running in the direction of Nine Tails. The speed was so fast that only a blue flash could be seen. Their camp also suffered a lot of casualties. Although they were good at defense, most of them were physical. So they can't use their body to catch the Tailed Beast Bomb. They could only relay on speed and terrain to quickly avoid it.
Before the dust had dispersed, Raikage had already led a dozen Jōnin in a mad rush towards Uchiha Yami.
"Reckless man."
Not only him, Mizukage and Kazekage have already started to take action.
Especially the Kazekage Rasa, who has floated into the air, quickly scattering the people in their area and protecting them with sand, afraid that Nine Tails would still have the strength to continue firing, Rasa's expression turned ugly. The price of participating in the war was too high, much more serious than he thought, and One Tail had already used some of his power, and the seal on Gara seems to be very unstable. . .
But seeing Raikage in action, he hesitated and followed him, taking One Tail Jinchūriki with him.
The ninjas in the surrounding villages can only defend themselves. At least, their village's defense is still acceptable. In the attack just now, they and Iwagakure had the fewest casualties, while Fire Country had the most casualties, followed by Kirigakure, and then Cloud Shinobi Village.
Mizukage Yagura, had already transformed into Three Tails. His huge body was rioting, and he also fired a Tailed Beast Bomb in the direction of Nine Tails.
It caused an uproar, and the huge body headed in the direction of Nine Tails.
That violent look makes people a little worried. Is this Mizukage going berserk? Why did he rushed out like Raikage?
"Didn't I hear that it's a perfect Jinchūriki?"
"Is this out of control?"
Many people looked at Three Tails a little confused.
That tailed beast Chakra is a bit scary.
Three tailed beasts gathered on the small battlefield, and the total number of Kage-level existences on both sides was double digits. Even the Ninja World War was never this exaggerated.
"This kid is really ruthless."
"Evil Uchiha didn't show any mercy at all."
"It's better to stop them now, otherwise Yami will be angry."
"Shodai, you choose your target first."
The Impure World Reincarnation ninjas who had only recovered after being affected gathered together and each locked their targets. Senju Hashirama and Namikaze Minato headed towards Raikage and his special forces, apparently to prevent him from getting there.
"Is this the ninja war you are talking about? It's much more exaggerated than our time."
He had heard before that the current war was more exaggerated than before. Although it was said to be the Sengoku period in the past, it was not as large as it is now.
In the past, it was a battle between families. Even if there were several alliance families together, the battle situation was not actually like this.
Compared to the current scene, a battlefield with thousands of Jōnin and a dozen Kage-level existens and multiple tailed beasts, the fight in Sengoku period seems really small.
Now it is a battle between villages and villages, and even between countries.
Senju Hashirama even doubted whether his previous idea of gathering everyone to form a village was wrong.
