Chapitre 98: He Ran Away and Chased Him
On the way back to the camp, Shintaro met Asuma and the reinforcements behind them.
"Aniki!" Tetsuo stepped forward, looking around and finding that Shintaro was fine, and said, "Just as expected from Aniki."
Hamasu also felt relieved.
Asuma asked, "Were those thousands of troops defeated by you?"
Shintaro nodded and said, "Yes."
Asuma was accustomed to Shintaro's extraordinary strength, so he wasn't too surprised.
The reinforcements behind him were led by Minato himself. He had his own assessment of the battlefield situation and asked, "The thousands of troops led by Ai were here. I'm afraid all the signs of the previous slowdown in attacks were to cover for this. Fortunately, you blocked them. Their troops were defeated, what about Ai?"
Shintaro's answer was beyond Minato's expectations: "I was too lazy to chase him, so he moved and left. He might already be dead."
Minato was amused by Shintaro's relaxed attitude and said, "Then let's check. This time we sent troops, I plan to counterattack Kumogakure."
Shintaro followed Minato back to the battlefield.
When all the Konoha ninja saw the scene in front of them, they were all stunned.
Most of the rocky highlands in the Land of Frost suddenly disappeared, which was the size of a soccer field.
Indeed, all the rocks had turned into rubble and piled up in front to form a heap of hills.
Shintaro observed it with Six Eyes and said in surprise, "This can keep him alive. That Thunder Chakra Mode is very tough."
Minato analyzed, "Perhaps Thunder Chakra could withstand the impact of these rocks."
Then he asked curiously, "What technique did you use? It was as powerful as [Bijudama]."
Shintaro then stretched out his hand to show [Rasengan] and said, "It was a combination of [Rasengan] and my Kekkei Genkai."
Minato shook his head helplessly and said, "You really tried to improvise [Rasengan]."
Shintaro smiled and said, "I can't help it. Who said this technique is very useful?"
Minato laughed upon hearing his ninjutsu being praised.
After that, he changed his expression and commanded the troops behind him, "Keep moving forward and launch a counterattack while the Kumogakure troops are defeated. This time, we must hit Kumogakure hard so they don't dare to attack!"
"OHHH!!!" The Konoha ninja responded with fighting spirit.
After all, the troops were now led by the powerful Yellow Flash Namikaze Minato in the ninja world, and there was also a new strongman emerging on this battlefield, the white-haired Demon Eyes Uchiha Shintaro.
The Konoha ninja had two strongmen as guarantees, so they all followed Minato's orders enthusiastically.
The Konoha ninja rushed to the highlands of the Land of Frost and hurried toward the Kumogakure camp.
Along the way, everyone found that they encountered no obstacles, and all the Kumogakure Ninja defenses seemed to have been abandoned.
Minato concluded the current situation from these clues.
"Did Kumogakure choose to shrink the defensive line because of the recent defeat? It shouldn't be. Kumogakure is still transporting troops to the Land of Frost. I'm afraid there are already more than 10,000 troops. Even if 1,000 troops were lost, it wouldn't shrink the entire line..."
"Could it be... something went wrong with them locally?"
Minato's intelligence was indeed superior, and he was able to deduce the truth from the clues.
So he immediately ordered, "Abandon the defense and move forward at full speed, targeting the Kumogakure stronghold."
Shintaro also saw what Minato was thinking. It seemed Minato wanted to use this opportunity to drive the Kumogakure Ninjas out of the Land of Frost and bring them back to the Land of Thunder.
It would be difficult to do this under normal circumstances, but now there were Shintaro and Minato in this team of a thousand people, and they were facing a great opportunity, so Shintaro was confident this would be his last fight on the northeastern defensive line.
Soon, the group arrived in front of the camp.
On the walls of the Kumogakure camp, Dodai received information from the sensory ninja and had just climbed the wall, and he saw the Konoha troops.
"There are only a thousand people, but those two are here..."
"Damn! Why did they choose this time!"
Dodai had announced the order to withdraw the troops, and now Ai was in a coma. As the trusted aide of the Third Raikage, he held the command.
But it took time for the ten thousand troops to retreat.
Dodai had separated the first group of 3,000 vanguard troops and moved together with Ai.
Plans were now being made to transfer the second wave of 5,000 Kumogakure Ninja, most of them.
Dodai immediately ordered, "Don't stop the second wave of troops, keep moving!"
"The remaining two thousand people, follow me to the wall to fight the Konoha ninja!"
The second wave of five thousand ninja was the main force returning to the Land of Thunder to repel Iwagakure. They could not be dragged into the Land of Frost, otherwise the village of Kumogakure would be in danger.
That's why Dodai decided to let the second wave of troops evacuate first, while he and the third wave troops stayed behind to block the pursuing Konoha troops.
"[Yōton: Gomuheki]!"
The earth platform emitted a large amount of rubber to the walls to strengthen the defense.
A large amount of rubber adhered to the walls to form a thick protective layer, which was very elastic and could rebound most physical damage, and ordinary ninja tools could not penetrate it.
Dodai had done all he could, and he could only leave it to fate.
The Konoha troops soon arrived outside the camp.
The Konoha ninja began using their methods to attack. Various ninja tools, explosive tag shurikens were thrown at them, but most of them bounced off, and the explosive tags had no effect when detonated on it.
Dodai breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this and thought to himself, "We have the advantage of strength and terrain, so we should be able to defend it."
Asuma drew the Chakra Blades and stepped forward to inflict damage on the rubber protective layer but was forced back by Kumogakure ninjutsu guarding the wall.
For a moment, the Konoha ninja's attacks seemed very sluggish.
But don't forget, Konoha still had two strongmen.
Shintaro ignored the various attacks from ninja tools and ninjutsu from the Kumogakure Ninjas above. The attacks stopped around him and were dispelled by him. He walked directly to the wall, extended two fingers, and made a gun gesture.
"[Reversal Cursed Technique: Red]."
BOOM
The melted rubber protective layer exploded instantly, and then the wall behind it shattered into pieces.
A hole appeared in the wall large enough for the troops to pass through.
Minato held a kunai and threw it at the wall, then used [Hiraishin no Jutsu] to come to the midst of the Kumogakure Ninja and kill everyone.
Led by Shintaro and Minato, Konoha's attack was fierce. Even if the Kumogakure Ninja had a numerical advantage, it wouldn't help.
Dodai quickly realized that defeat was inevitable. Seeing that the second wave of troops had successfully evacuated, he immediately ordered the entire army to retreat.
However, as soon as the defeated troops retreated, it would become an unstoppable rout. The Kumogakure Ninja dispersed, which in turn would lead to many casualties.
Even Dodai himself was not spared. His Lava Release was a good defense type. However, this kind of defense had almost no effect in front of Shintaro, who had an extremely strong output.
The impact of the attack far exceeded the defense strength of the rubber rebound.
In this way, Dodai hid and was destroyed by [Red], and the two thousand troops were almost wiped out.
Only a few dozen people managed to escape back across the border to the Land of Thunder.
