Chapter 104 Attack
Sarutobi Asuma was startled. Looking at Shingetsu Seiun, who had somehow gotten close to him, he frowned and tried to break free.
Shenyue Xingyun stared solemnly ahead.
"Shh~"
"Don't make a sound."
As Shingetsu Seiun deliberately lowered his voice, Sarutobi Asuma looked into the distance with a hint of doubt and trepidation.
We found nothing.
Just as I was about to make a sarcastic remark, I noticed that the seriousness in the other person's eyes seemed genuine.
Subconsciously holding his breath, Sarutobi Asuma nervously looked ahead.
A moment later, he saw it.
Under the cover of night, shadowy figures slowly approached from ahead. They were virtually invisible unless one looked very closely.
Sarutobi Asuma's eyes widened!
If Shenyue Xingyun hadn't covered his mouth, he would have almost cried out in surprise.
There are enemies!
In an instant, his heart pounded violently in his chest. There was tension, there was excitement. He pushed Shen Yuexingyun's hand away, took out his twin swords, and gripped them tighter and tighter.
"Don't be impulsive," Shinzuki Seiun whispered in Sarutobi Asuma's ear. Then, he gestured to the wary Kurenai Yuhi, who slowly nodded.
Finding a thin steel wire hidden in the treetop, Kurenai pulled it with all her might.
Once, twice, three times.
After doing all this, he nodded to Shenyue Xingyun.
Shenyue Xingyun made another gesture.
Retreat.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Asuma immediately became somewhat dissatisfied.
This was the first time he had encountered an enemy, and he wanted to get closer to see what the enemy looked like.
Shenyue Xingyun's lips parted slightly as she whispered.
"I am the captain."
Sarutobi Asuma's lips twitched.
"I'll take your captain's position one day," Asuma Sarutobi thought fiercely, but he still followed orders and retreated with Kurenai Yuhi.
The Divine Moon Nebula remained in place for the time being.
He held his breath, watching the indistinct shadow in the distance move little by little. When the shadow was about fifty meters away from him, he could faintly hear the sound of armor rubbing against each other in the darkness.
Taking a deep breath, Shenyue Xingyun reached into the tree trunk beside her and pulled out a red rope, then pulled hard!
"Whoosh!" Crimson flames rose into the night sky.
As the flames rose into the air, almost simultaneously, a series of fireballs exploded fifty meters in front of the Divine Moon Nebula!
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!!!!!!~"
The firelight illuminated the night, and also the lurking shadows.
Amidst the roar, severed limbs flew everywhere, screams and cries filled the air, and the enemy cursed in exasperation.
"Damn it! We've been found out!"
"attack!!"
As one of the ninjas shouted, a large number of fully armed ninjas emerged from the shadows.
They wore headbands from Iwagakure and held various swords and weapons in their hands, their eyes radiating murderous intent.
However, what greeted them was an even more intense flame.
Upon receiving Kurenai Yuhi's advance warning, the rear camp responded swiftly, and nearby garrison ninjas also received the news one after another.
As red flames rose into the sky and detonations roared, more explosions followed after the enemy was detected reaching the alert position.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!~"
The intense flames quickly intensified the stench of blood in the night air.
"Aaaaaaah!!! ~Kill them all!!~"
"Kill them!"
"Die!!!"
The overwhelming killing intent made Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi, who were retreating, feel a little scared.
The former gripped his twin swords tightly, and just as he hesitated whether to bravely step forward to fight, Shenyue Xingyun had already swiftly retreated back to his side.
"run!"
As ninjas on duty, they discovered the enemy in advance and gave warnings, and detonated the trap at the right time, which can be considered as a successful completion of the mission.
As for dealing with the enemy, we'll discuss that after we rejoin the main force. Otherwise, the few ninjas on duty will be swallowed up by the surging enemy army in an instant.
Shingetsu Seiun's tone left no room for doubt. Hearing the rumbling sound from the ground, the sound of a large-scale enemy approach, Sarutobi Asuma stopped trying to be brave, and the three of them quickly retreated.
Before long, they saw the troops that had already assembled at the camp.
"The Divine Moon Nebula Squad has detected enemy activity!"
"The number of enemy troops we can see exceeds three hundred, but we can't make out the exact number."
A Jonin nodded: "Well done, back to the team."
The three returned to the team.
In just a few breaths, the enemy troops surged forward.
What awaited them was a sea of fire.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" "Fire Release: Flame Bullet!" "Fire Release: Fireball Technique!"
The ninjas skilled in fire-style techniques lined up in a row, and as their chakra surged, fire-style techniques of all sizes streaked across the night sky, landing among the ranks of the Iwagakure ninjas.
The temperature rose rapidly, and the intense flames illuminated the earth as if it were daytime. The Konoha ninjas could see the densely packed enemy forces, numbering at least five hundred, not just three hundred.
"Earth Release: Quicksand!" "Earth Release: Great Mud Swamp!" "Earth Release: Great Sticky Bomb!" Just as they could see the number of enemy troops, the Iwagakure ninjas began their big operation.
As a large number of earth-style ninjutsu were unleashed, the ground beneath Konoha's feet rapidly transformed from dry soil and grass into quicksand and swamp.
In large-scale ninjutsu battles, who gets hit and who survives depends on luck and skill. If you lack both, you're doomed on the battlefield.
Sarutobi Asuma was not so lucky. He was in the center of the Earth Release: Mud Swamp. When the solid ground turned into slippery mud, he was caught off guard and quickly sank in.
Before he could break free, a lump of mud about half the size of a person quickly approached.
"I'll pay for this!" Sarutobi Asuma was both shocked and frightened.
He wanted to deal with it, but found that he didn't have a good solution.
Shadow clones don't work.
Dual swords are too small to be effective. Explosive tags, shuriken—even the most powerful Ash Pile Burn is unsuitable against the rapidly approaching mud ball.
It was only then that he realized how rudimentary his methods were on the battlefield.
Just when he thought he couldn't escape, his vision suddenly blurred.
"Clang!" A sword rang out, followed by a flash of light.
The huge lump of mud split in two before his eyes, landing on either side and splashing mud all over him.
Immediately afterwards, a rope wrapped around his waist, and the next second the rope pulled him out of the mud.
It is the Shingetsu Nebula and the Kurenai.
Having survived the ordeal, Sarutobi Asuma looked at his two teammates with boundless gratitude in his heart.
He kept his gratitude to himself and turned to seek revenge on his enemies, but Shenyue Xingyun called him back.
"Don't act impulsively!"
"Fight and retreat simultaneously!"
Sarutobi Asuma actually wanted to fight more. But Shinzuki Seiun was the captain and had just saved him again, so he had no choice but to obey.
They fought and retreated in accordance with the progress of Shenyue Nebula.
In the initial waves of group attacks, the enemy forces and Konoha ninjas clashed together.
The chaotic battle has begun.
