Chapter 555: Namikaze Minato, come on!
This time Sunagakure attacked Konoha. Counting the eight thousand ninja army led by Chiyo and the Sunagakure who infiltrated Konoha in batches in the early stage, Sunagakure invested a total of 10,000 ninjas!
This is basically the entire strength of the Suna Ninja at this stage. Although there are still four to five thousand Ninjas left in the village, they are either old or young and weak.
In other words, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, Sunagakure can basically attract all the Sunagakure here!
And following Chiyo's large army, there are five thousand sound ninjas. Although the strength of those sound ninjas is uneven, judging from the evil aura that emerges, at least all of them have seen blood.
It stands to reason that with such a lineup to attack Konoha, which is temporarily missing the Hokage commander, even if it is not easy to capture, at least it will have the advantage of a sudden attack in the early stage!
But the current situation is more like the Suna Ninja sneaking into the pockets that Konoha had already arranged and jumping into the trap with all his strength!
Under normal circumstances, the number of ninjas in Konoha Village at this time will never exceed six thousand!
But the real situation is that in this war, the number of Konoha ninjas did not fall behind at all, and even slightly exceeded them!
What's even more annoying is that out of respect for Otogakure, Suna Ninja and Otonin are under their respective jurisdictions, but many Otonin disappeared after entering the planned war zone.
There are less than two thousand Sound-ninja still fighting on the battlefield, and the more than three thousand Sound-ninja seem to have disappeared out of thin air.
Chiyo can't even find Kabuto Yakushi, the commander of the Sound Ninja!
In contrast, the Konoha ninja seemed to have received reinforcements, and their momentum became even stronger!
Of course Chiyo didn't know that Orochimaru was basically going out in full force for this Konoha collapse plan, and all the more than 7,000 ninjas in the entire Otogakure Village were dispatched.
The two thousand most elite men among them are now in Kawanokuni, waiting for Kadoki's orders.
Among the remaining five thousand people, more than three thousand who were considered good, under the command of Yakushi Kabuto and with the cooperation of Konoha, entered the selected battle zone, transformed themselves, put on Konoha forehead protectors, and put on He wears the costume of a Konoha ninja and then joins the battle as a Konoha ninja.
As for the remaining two thousand people, they were basically the wandering ninjas that Orochimaru had temporarily brought together and the failed products of his experiments. They were sent to the Sand Village as sacrifices in order to cooperate with this drama.
After all, Orochimaru and his Otogakure Village have been uniting with Sunagakure from the beginning to the end to plan and implement the Konoha collapse plan. From the beginning to the end, Konoha has been an unknowing victim.
Therefore, when the Sand Village was destroyed, Orochimaru and his Sound Village had to take the blame.
Then naturally, the presence of Sound Ninja is necessary on the Konoha battlefield. This is not only the proof of Orochimaru's involvement in the Konoha collapse plan, but also the evidence of the later settlement, and it is also the proof of the legitimacy and legality of Konoha's counterattack!
Konoha's image is as upright as ever. It was forced to fight back when it was attacked at its doorstep. In the self-defense counterattack, it conveniently killed the enemy who tried to destroy itself. It is very reasonable, isn't it?
Of course, the handling of Orochimaru and Otogakure is a matter for later.
What Sunagakure is facing now is a dilemma. No matter whether to move forward or backward, it seems to be an abyss.
As the saying goes, there is no turning back.
Now Sunagakure can only go to the dark side in one way!
The changes in the battlefield situation did not give Ye Cang and Chiyo much time to think.
"What are you discussing in private? Can you tell me something?"
Suddenly, a strangely shaped kunai was inserted into the ground in front of Ye Cang and Chiyo, followed by a gentle voice.
Just following these curious words, Namikaze Minato also appeared in front of them, with a smile on his face but full and cold eyes.
"Spiral pills!"
The azure blue chakra ball flew straight towards Chiyo. At the critical moment, Chiyo had to pull a puppet to resist.
"boom!"
The puppet's parts suddenly fell into pieces. Chiyo used the momentum to quickly pull away and pulled the scroll in his hand.
"White Secret Technique. Chikamatsu Ten People!"
With ten Chikamatsu people standing in front of her, Chiyo felt a little safer. She stared at Minato in front of her and shouted, "Namikaze Minato! Why are you here!"
Namikaze Minato is actually here, so who is fighting Rasa at this moment?
Chiyo didn't dare to think any further. No matter how much he thought about it, he felt that Sunagakure had fallen into a huge trap this time!
Minato smiled slightly, did not answer, and jumped towards Chiyo.
During the Third World War, Minato was an old rival of Chiyo. Minato was a professional in dealing with Chiyo's puppets!
On the other side, Ye Gura was about to support Chiyo when a huge fireball forced her back.
"Fire escape. Fire bullet!"
When the smoke cleared, the familiar sound of clogs sounded, and Jiraiya, the Toad Sage carrying the two great immortals on his shoulders, stepped in!
"You actually took advantage of the Chunin Exam to attack Konoha. Are you guys in Sunagakure going to tear up the alliance agreement? Just surrender, Ye Cang!" Jiraiya shouted angrily.
Jiraiya, who had been busy investigating and collecting materials during this period, did not notice that so many Sand Ninjas had quietly sneaked into Konoha. What was even more unexpected to him was that Chiyo had brought so many troops to lurk outside the village!
Looking at the Sand Ninjas wreaking havoc everywhere in the village, Jiraiya was frightened by the number of them.
In this time of crisis, Jiraiya of course stepped forward without hesitation!
Originally, he was preparing to support the Chunin Exam, but after hearing Kadoki explain to him that the Third Hokage and Uchiha Shisui had joined forces to deal with Rasa and Orochimaru, and seeing Minato appear on the battlefield, he finally felt relieved and concentrated on dealing with the enemy in front of him.
As for Kazuoki, he went to deal with the large number of Sand Ninjas. Thinking that Kazuoki's Burning Release was also a powerful weapon against enemies on the battlefield, Jiraiya took the initiative to take on the important task of containing Hagura.
that is......
Jiraiya looked at Kadoki who was using Scorch Release to kill everyone in the chaos of the crowd and felt that something was wrong.
Firstly, Kakuiki's chakra always felt a bit strange when he was in Sage mode. Secondly, Jiraiya looked at Kakuiki's performance and felt that Kakuiki seemed to be fishing...
It was as if he was deliberately saving chakra.
"You have no time to look around when you are fighting with me!"
Jiraiya's distracted look was naturally seen in Ye Cang's eyes. Ye Cang was not used to Jiraiya's temper and immediately blasted him with a fire blast.
Jiraiya quickly focused his attention on dealing with Ye Cang. If he had any doubts, he would wait until the battle was over. The wind-like woman in front of him was not so easy to deal with!
Kadoki led the Konoha ninjas to fight with the Sand ninjas. Since the wood clone had little chakra left, Kadoki could only fight the enemy in a way that consumed less chakra.
Although there were several Scorching Fireballs circling around him, he was reluctant to use even the Flame Explosion which consumed more energy.
