Forty miles is too close for a ninja.
Even though the Konoha ninja tried their best to set up various traps to slow down their advance, the Kumogakure and Sunagakure coalition forces arrived half an hour late.
Konoha Village is a village surrounded by mountains and forests. The surrounding mountains and forests act as natural barriers.
Besides, it's the best battlefield. No ninja in any village can fight in the forest better than the ninja of Konoha.
Once the coalition forces of Kumogakure and Sunagakure arrived, they sent their elite ninjas in. Without sparing their chakra, they all used ninjutsu to forcefully destroy the barrier set up by Konoha.
This is an unexpected battle, and both fronts of Kumogakure and Sunagakure are cooperating with each other. The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for the coalition forces of the two villages.
The reinforcements Hiruzen Sarutobi mobilized from the front lines could not arrive in a short time, but over time this became less of a problem.
By the time reinforcements from Konoha arrived, if the combined forces of the two villages had not defeated Konoha's defenders and invaded Konoha village, defeat would have been certain.
After the barrier was blown up, the coalition forces of the two villages distributed their forces, using a small team as the main unit, several small teams to form squads, and then several squads to form a large team, and rushed towards Mount Kikyo in an orderly manner.
If they break through Mount Kikyo, and behind them is Kikyo Castle, a historical site on the outskirts of Konoha Village, they will already be able to cause damage to Konoha, and the deeper they go, the more damage will be done.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Bang, bang, bang...
In the dense forest, various traps were triggered: kunai shurikens, detonating charms and their own ninjutsu.
In an instant, explosions and screams rang out one after another. The originally spring and bright forest instantly turned into a cruel and bloody battlefield, and the animals in the forest ran in a frenzy...
After suffering some losses, the allied forces of the two villages destroyed most of the traps set by the Konoha ninja. As they approached Mount Kikyo, the organized Konoha ninja began to attack, and the battle to the death officially began.
Even after being depleted by the traps, the combined forces of the two villages still numbered around 1,200. Their forces were 200 more than Konoha Village's, and they were at full strength!
Konoha's fighting power is dominant. Sarutobi Hiruzen even personally took the fight, and in order to protect their homeland, they all sacrificed their lives at any cost.
The battle between the two sides soon became fierce and tense, and the fight was very fierce, even brutal!
In the forest where the Uchiha clan's defensive zone was located, Uchiha Hakari, using a hidden camouflage technique, stood on a thick tree trunk and silently watched the several waves of ninjas without taking any action...
Now that I'm not strong enough, I'll have to pick on the weak. By collecting a few souls, I'll be able to be more free.
Not many Iwagakure ninja know this camouflage technique, but it was copied by the Uchiha clan ninja during the Long War.
A few minutes later, a three-man Kumogakure team rushed past. Uchiha Hakari, the veteran, sprang into action. The moment the three jumped over him, three shuriken shot out of the air...
"Carefully!"
A cloud ninja of seventeen or eighteen years old, with dark skin and an ordinary face, uttered a warning and at the same time turned around and swung his sword. The shuriken was deflected with a clang.
The other two Kumo ninja were less fortunate;
They were not alert enough, and their reactions were not fast enough. The shuriken pierced their waists, blood gushed out, and they fell to the ground screaming.
Uchiha Hakari appeared, drew his sword and rushed towards the Kumo ninja who had escaped the disaster. The Kumo ninja who had landed on the tree trunk was not at all scared and suddenly jumped up to meet him.
Just as they were in mid-air, Uchiha Hakari's eyes suddenly turned into a scarlet Magatama Sharingan. The Kumo Ninja shouted something in displeasure and tried to avoid his gaze, but it was too late.
Genjutsu Sharingan!
The second Magatama Sharingan can already perform preliminary genjutsu enhancement.
Kumo Ninja's expression instantly became dull, and the hand holding the knife fell weakly. They passed each other, and blood spurted out. The pain was stimulating. The illusion was shattered. He hit the ground with a thud.
The three Kumogakure genin were spared fatal injuries due to Uchiha Hakari intentionally releasing the water. They stood up from the ground, holding their weapons.
Uchiha Hakari sheathed his sword, formed hand seals as he jumped down, and completed the ninjutsu as soon as he landed.
Magical Narakujo no Jutsu!
This is just a level D illusion that allows the user to see what he does not want to see.
Despite his low level, three mere Kumogakure genin are no match for him.
The three people were instantly shocked, their faces changed dramatically and they were full of fear.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Uchiha Hakari immediately activated the power of the Soul Fruit, and an invisible but real power enveloped the three Kumo ninja.
A transparent blue soul and a group of white light representing lifespan quickly burst out from the heads of the three people. Then, the soul and lifespan quickly flowed into Hakari Uchiha's body, and the bodies of the three people fell to the ground like a lump of dirt.
Hakari Uchiha pulled out his sword, which could also be called a rapier. In the ninja world, there is no difference between swords and rapiers. He stabbed three people in the heart or throat with his sword to cover them. After all, the three people's initial wounds were not fatal.
Gen Uchiha then immediately left and hid in a hole in a tree that he saw while looking for a place to hunt.
In the pit, Gen Uchiha excitedly took out all the shurikens from his ninja bag and placed his ninja sword on his feet.
Soul infusion!
Uchiha Gen extended his right hand, and balls of white light like dumplings poured out from his palm and merged into the shurikens and the ninja sword.
These groups of white light are different from the previous groups of white light. They contain not only life, but also souls.
Soon, two strange eyes appeared on the black shuriken and the silver-white ninja sword, as if they had come to life.
"Mom, mom, mom..."
Shuriken and ninja suddenly began to speak in different voices, chirping.
Gen Uchiha's face darkened and he said, " I'm a man, I have no right to call you mom, dad... master! "
He's still a thirteen-year-old child. It's not right to be a father at such a young age...
"Master, master, master..."
Gen Uchiha nodded in satisfaction, " Okay, shut up. If I don't let you talk, shut up and close your eyes ."
Hearing this, Homitsu immediately closed his mouth and eyes.
Compared to the original, it has only two minor scratches that are not noticeable from a short distance.
Gen Uchiha was very happy that Homitsu was so obedient. From now on, his shurikens will have built-in navigation and lock-on attacks.
It is impossible to avoid this. It can only be avoided for a while, and sooner or later the only thing you can do is resist.
And the ninja sword in his hand can also be called a flying sword, and it attacks automatically.
If you want to make them stop attacking, then until you run out of life or destroy their soul place, the attacks will be endless.
If this technique is used suddenly, the jounin caught off guard may suffer great losses or even die.
You just can't use this technique indiscriminately until you've built up enough strength, otherwise it will be difficult to explain if it attracts attention.
The Uchiha's kunai shuriken throwing technique is famous in the ninja world, but no matter how powerful it is, there is a limit.
How to explain a living shuriken?
Psychic beast?
Only a ghost could believe this.
In fact, Uchiha Gen has long been able to use his own soul to create Homitsu.
But Uchiha Gen believes that ordinary shurikens and ninja swords are unworthy of his own soul, and are truly a waste.
At the very least, he needs a weapon on the level of the Kusanagi sword, right?
And compared to Homitsu like shurikens and flying swords, Uchiha Gen still wants to use his soul to create high-level Homitsu like elemental Homitsu.
Isn't Elemental Homitsu adorable?
His soul is far inferior to that of Yonko BIGMOM from "One Piece". After all, the body and soul are closely related. With BIGMOM's strange power and the courage of the steel ball, the soul grown by BIGMOM cannot be powerless!
Therefore, one must use one's own soul with caution!
He wants to collect as many souls as possible to strengthen his own soul and create a powerful high-level Homitsu that will be his trump card for survival and rise in the brutal ninja war!
Putting aside the transformed shuriken and ninja sword, Uchiha Gen emerged from the tree hole and continued hunting...
