Before Ao rushed to the battlefield, he had ordered his men to go to the Land of Waves to ask for reinforcements.
Therefore, as long as the enemy was held back, the entire elite Konoha force would be destroyed here.
Even though Uchiha Fugaku in front of him was somewhat tricky, Ao could still fight as long as he worked hard.
Thus, Ao considered this a sure thing.
However, in reality, the Byakugan did not provide a significant boost in combat strength, placing Ao at a disadvantage during their fight.
Fortunately, he was proficient in water element techniques and was barely able to hold his ground under Fugaku's strong fire escape attacks.
Meanwhile, as the ninja in the fortress fought fiercely, the Konoha forces had completed their deployment on the vast ocean.
These Konoha forces had no ships for transport, so they simply used chakra to walk on water.
This way, they wouldn't be too conspicuous even in the endless sea.
However, Shintaro still ordered everyone to lower their bodies while he used his Six Eyes to scout around, and indeed, he spotted a speedboat departing from the fortress.
The speedboat was heading directly to the Land of Waves.
Shintaro waited patiently with the large force.
Asuma was now quite calm, at least on the battlefield.
Tetsuo and Hamasu were also ready.
Shintaro observed the reactions of the surrounding Konoha ninja, and they were all very serious.
It seemed that, except for him, no one could relax with fewer fights.
However, being more serious on the battlefield was certainly a good thing.
The ambush location was between the coastal fortress and the headquarters in the Land of Waves.
It didn't take long for Shintaro to reach the Kirigakure reinforcement fleet.
"A thousand people, remember, leave the ships but not the people."
Shintaro's orders were passed down layer by layer, and then he led the charge towards the front boats.
"[Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue]."
An unfortunate Kirigakure ninja bore the brunt of the attack, being sucked towards Shintaro and receiving a blow, causing his head to be severed.
Shintaro rushed into the crowd, and he was invincible with his Infinity automatically activated and his dual fists, constantly moving in and out of the crowd.
"[Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu]." 5x
Several Kirigakure Jonin collaborated to condense seawater into a giant water dragon, swinging its massive body from the night sky to crush him.
"You don't want the boats, but I still do."
As the water dragon fell, Shintaro remained unharmed, but the boat was definitely beyond saving.
"[Blue]."
Shintaro released a blue sphere with both hands, striking the water dragon. The strong suction force captured the seawater originally controlled by chakra.
The seawater formed a giant water ball and fell into the sea, creating huge waves that lifted the boat into the air.
Several Kirigakure Jonin drew their swords and attacked Shintaro, their sword skills undoubtedly fierce, making them masters in Kirigakure.
Unfortunately, Shintaro automatically blocked the blades without needing to face them.
"[Blue]."
The Kirigakure Jonin tried to dodge but were sucked in by the sudden suction force, colliding with each other.
"[Red]."
He fired at several Mist ninja stacked in close proximity. The Kirigakure ninja tried to block with their swords but failed.
At this moment, the Konoha ninja also began boarding the ships one by one.
As long as the ships were not damaged, Asuma's Wind Element Taijutsu was very suitable.
The sharp wind blades were deadly weapons to the enemy but caused no damage to the ships.
Tetsuo and Hamasu, who excelled in Fire Element, could only use ninja tools and Taijutsu to fight as much as possible. Of course, occasional jutsus could still be used.
After fierce fighting, Shintaro alone defeated hundreds of enemies.
The remaining enemies were also killed by the large force.
Although Konoha had only about a hundred casualties, this was already considered a great victory.
Inevitably, some ships were sunk.
These losses meant nothing to everyone.
But in Shintaro's eyes, it was different.
"Would it have been better if you had left everything to me?"
This thought was his fault for sacrificing Konoha ninja and his arrogance.
Because he was only at his strongest when he had no doubts.
However, Shintaro knew that while he might not rely on his comrades in this battle, to achieve his goal of changing the world and altering the Uchiha Clan, he still had to rely on his comrades. So this idea remained in his mind.
Seeing the battlefield cleared, Shintaro immediately ordered: "Select a hundred people, wear Kirigakure ninja outfits, and spread out to all the ships to disguise."
"The rest hide in the cabins and wait until the ships dock before coming out."
If Shintaro had ever heard of ancient Greek mythology in his previous life, he would surely know that this was a classic Trojan horse trap.
After disguising, the group returned to the Kirigakure port in the Land of Waves.
"What happened? Didn't they just leave?"
A Kirigakure ninja responsible for guarding the port expressed his doubts but still allowed the ships to dock.
"Why did you come back? Also, are there some ships missing?"
The Kirigakure ninja stepped forward and asked.
*WHOOSH*
The disguised Konoha ninja suddenly rose and stabbed a kunai into the Kirigakure ninja's neck, causing blood to splatter all over his face.
Shintaro almost flew from the boat to the shore.
"Remove your disguise to avoid accidental injury!"
His voice was loud enough to remind all the disguised personnel on the ships.
"Well done."
Shintaro again praised the Konoha ninja who had just handed the Kunai to the Kirigakure ninja and lightly patted his shoulder.
This ninja was a young Chunin with excellent strength. He was expected to become a Jonin in the future. His name was Mizuki.
At this moment, Kirigakure ninjas had attacked, and Shintaro launched a powerful strike.
The dense black ball flew backwards at high speed, hitting the middle of the Kirigakure ninja group.
*BOOM*
The Kirigakure ninja and buildings in the port were destroyed by the rapidly expanding and exploding [Purple].
A true man never looks back at explosions but looks at the Konoha ninja behind him.
"You only need to clean up, and leave the Kirigakure headquarters to me."
Mizuki looked at Shintaro with a very excited expression.
He was clearly older, but he looked like a little fanboy in front of Shintaro.
Ninjas always spoke with their strength, and Shintaro exuded the aura of a mature and powerful person.
After Shintaro handed over the task, he turned and flew into the air, looking like a god. Next, it was almost just Shintaro's appearance.
"[Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue]."
"[Cursed Technique Reversal: Red]."
"[Hollow Technique: Purple]."
Shintaro had no bottom limit, could completely ignore various enemy attacks, and concentrated on activating the [Limitless Technique] to attack.
He unleashed his full power, and the Kirigakure ninja were no match.
Everyone in Konoha looked more and more shocked.
This was simply a humanoid Bijuu!
Although Shintaro's victory over Hachibi and earning the title of White-Haired Devil Eyes had spread to Konoha, there were no Konoha witnesses.
Now, the Konoha people witnessed what a humanoid Bijuu was and what white-haired devil eyes were.
Of course, the current perspective of the Kirigakure ninja was the first-person perspective.
After trying to prevent a counterattack but failing, the Kirigakure ninja lost the will to fight and fled one by one.
However, the Kirigakure ninja were already surrounded by Konoha ninja, and both sides engaged in close-quarters combat. The Kirigakure ninja who had lost their fighting spirit were no match for the highly motivated Konoha ninja.
Moreover, Shintaro's Six Eyes could accurately identify Kirigakure and Konoha ninja.
Under the influence of various factors, Kirigakure's total defeat became a reality.
