Chapter 255.2: Handing Over Affairs, Riding The Wind
The next day at the Cloud battlefront, everyone was busy as usual. In every Great Ninja War, the five great villages had one tacit understanding. This was that at the beginning of the war, the battles were to be initiated first on the land of the small neighboring nations.
The Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire were separated by the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Frost. In fact, these two small nations could be regarded as vassal states of the big nations in a certain sense. The Land of Hot Water inclined towards the Land of Fire, while the Land of Frost towards the Land of Lightning.
At the beginning of the war, both sides fought on the borders of the Land of Frost and the Land of Hot Water. It could be said that Kumo was recognized as the second-largest village in the Ninja World. Konoha’s combat power on this battlefront was no less than that on the western front.
In the beginning, both sides were engaging in probing attacks. Hence, the scale of the ninjas dispatched by them was not very different. After all, they still had to keep an eye on the war terrain. In a fight between twenty thousand ordinary ninjas and ten thousand ordinary ninjas in a special terrain, the numbers alone wouldn’t have any significant advantage.
On the contrary, the ninjas wouldn’t be able to exert their full strength because they were too densely crowded. At such ti, the battle outco depended on the peak combat powers.
The commander of Kumo was Quasi Yondai Raikage ‘A’, and Konoha’s side happened to have Namikaze Minato who had restrained him. Therefore, the overall battle situation was evenly matched at the beginning. But not long ago, Killer B beca the perfect jinchuriki and joined the battle.
This ti, due to the disadvantage in the peak combat powers, Konoha had to retreat steadily. They were beaten back all the way out of the Land of Hot Water, and could only stick to the Konoha border. Under trendous pressure, Minato’s strength grew rapidly.
Relying on Flying Thunder God Technique, Rasengan, Summoning Technique, and Sage Mode, he was able to gradually fight one against two. Sotis, innate talent was this inconceivable.
In this war, Sandai Raikage had never made a move from the very beginning. He was letting Quasi Yondai Raikage earn enough military achievents.
But now that the war had fallen into a stalemate, and a large number of Cloud ninjas were dying every day, Sandai Raikage finally couldn’t sit still anymore. He set off from Kumo, and leading a large number of elite troops, he rushed towards the Cloud battlefront.
The mont Konoha learned about this, they began to discuss who to send as reinforcents for the forces led by Minato. According to general wisdom, since Sandai Raikage made a move, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was known as the strongest Hokage, should also follow suit.
But now, Hiruzen felt that he had aged. Moreover, he had already turned into a politician who sched for power. He was no longer a pure ninja. He had already lost the heart of a powerhouse.
At this ti, Uzumaki Kushina stepped forward. When all was said and done, the opponent’s side had dispatched the eight-tailed jinchuriki, so it was not inappropriate for Konoha to dispatch its own nine-tailed jinchuriki as well.
In addition, Kushina’s Adamantine Sealing Chains could perfectly restrain tailed beasts. Therefore, Hiruzen agreed to her request to join the battle.
On the border, at Konoha’s last line of defense, Minato and Kushina stood on the head of Gamabunta, watching the swarm of humans appearing on the distant horizon.
This was Kushina’s first ti on the battlefield, so she couldn’t help feeling a bit nervous. Her palms were drenched with sweat. At this mont, a warm palm tightly held her hand. She turned her head to look over and saw Minato smiling gently at her. He said, “You stay here for now and assist later. You must rember to give priority to your safety at all tis. Don’t worry about . I’ll be alright.”
Kushina’s mood eased a lot. She smiled slightly and replied, “You also have to be careful.” Minato nodded his head slightly. Then, as if suddenly sothing ca to his mind, he paused and said to Kushina, “I’ve got a piece of good news for you. I had received intelligence of the western battlefront. Tonan was able to stop the allied forces of the two countries by himself. Co on, we can’t lose to our student.”
A look of pleasant surprise flashed through Kushina’s face when she heard Minato. She exclaid, “Really? Has Tonan already grown up so much?” Imdiately, she bared her fangs and clenched her fists. She waved them fiercely toward the air and said, “Well, I can’t let Tonan think less of in that case!”
