Chapter 598 Night Raid
In just one day's battle, the Ninja Alliance lost nearly 30,000 ninjas!
What made everyone even more furious was the death of many elite ninjas.
Huangdi and Akagi of the Iwagakure Village, Darui and Dodai of the Kumogakure Village, Mei Terumi of the Kirigakure Village, Okisuke and Rikkaku of the Land of Iron all died at the hands of Madara's wooden clone.
These were the elite ninjas in each village second only to the Kage. Darui was the ninja whom Ai had high hopes for to inherit the position of Raikage. However, they all died here.
In contrast, the White Zetsu Corps suffered losses of more than 40,000.
But compared with the losses of the Allied Ninja Forces, the losses of the White Zetsu Legion seem insignificant.
"It doesn't matter. We still have the strength to fight. Besides, the Konoha Ninja Army will arrive tomorrow, and victory will definitely be ours!"
Ai spoke hoarsely, forcing himself to boost morale.
"Yes, victory will definitely belong to us!"
Everyone suppressed their grief and echoed Ai.
It's just because of their current state, which directly affects the performance of their ninja troops.
A general is the courage of his soldiers. If a general does not even have confidence in these shadows, the war will truly be lost.
Although everyone didn't understand why Madara launched the attack in advance, their only choice now was to keep going.
Only by holding on until Konoha’s pincer attack appears can we win!
But they all overlooked that nighttime was White Zetsu's home turf.
Madara is the reincarnation of the Impure World Reincarnation, and White Zetsu is not a human being at all. They are both creatures that do not need rest.
White Zetsu's excellent reconnaissance and infiltration skills make him invincible at night.
When the allied ninja forces retreated to their respective tents and the medical ninjas were busy treating the wounded, Madara, who was standing on a mountain top overlooking the ninjas, raised a cruel arc at the corner of his mouth.
Madara waved his hand and the night attack began!
Then the White Zetsu army began a brutal night raid.
In the battle during the day, nearly half of the Allied Ninja Forces were killed or wounded, but at that time the Allied Ninjas were all tense. Even if Madara-sama did not stop fighting and continued fighting, the Allied Ninja Forces might not have obvious loopholes to exploit.
Madara chose to take a break. After a day of fierce fighting, the ninjas suddenly took a break. Their high adrenaline levels instantly dropped, and the long-accumulated fatigue and exhaustion in their bodies, as well as the pain from their injuries, all instantly hit them.
It would be extremely difficult to ask them to stand up and fight again and recover to their fighting state at this time.
This was the timing Madara-sama chose.
Just over two hours had passed since the truce, and the ninjas had not gotten enough rest, and their physical condition had fallen to the lowest level.
Watching from afar as the White Zetsu and their men raided, infiltrated, or assassinated, throwing the entire ninja coalition into pieces, Madara smiled cruelly.
"These young people in the ninja world haven't experienced war for a long time... They are really lax."
Madara made a sarcasm, then suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the camp of the Allied Ninja Forces.
"Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!"
The twenty-five wooden clones once again appeared in the third-stage Susanoo!
And Madara-sama’s opponents are naturally those Kages!
Before the Kages could calm the chaos in the camp, they saw Madara-sama running towards them, and they had to hastily fight him.
The war begins again!
......
"Hokage-sama, the battlefield is ten miles ahead. Currently, the ninja coalition is fighting a fierce battle with Madara's White Zetsu Army!"
Falcon sat on the eagle made from the fake painting of the super beast and reported to Minato.
"How's the battle going?" Minato asked nervously.
"Not good! The ninja alliance suffered heavy losses!"
"Oops! We are still late!" Minato frowned and ordered: "All troops speed up and prepare for a surprise attack immediately!"
"Yes!"
The Konoha Ninja Army immediately began a forced march, and soon, 10,000 Konoha Ninja Army arrived behind the White Zetsu Army.
"Hello everyone! Can anyone tell me what the urge to defecate means?"
Contrary to the expected situation where the defense behind the White Zetsu Army was empty, what Konoha faced was 10,000 White Zetsu and one "clearly black and white" Zetsu.
When Ah Fei saw so many people, he couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him for a long time. Black Zetsu knew that this war was just launched by Madara in order to regain the Rinnegan and revive. Konoha in front of him was at least a partner for the time being, so he let Ah Fei go.
"What the hell?" Minato was stunned by this strange question, and then he reacted: "Oh no! Our whereabouts have been discovered!"
"At this point, we have no choice but to move forward! All-out attack!"
After saying that, Minato rushed forward first.
"No one wants to answer my question? What a pity..."
Ah Fei muttered depressedly: "Since you are enemies, I can't let you go easily...Wood Release: Hell's Chaos!"
Countless twisted vines are coming like an overwhelming force!
The Konoha Ninja Army immediately launched a fierce battle with the White Zetsu Army.
Broken limbs, flying flesh and blood, and screams of agony instantly resounded throughout the battlefield.
Relying on the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato was unstoppable in the White Zetsu Army. Every time he swung a kunai, he would take at least one White Zetsu's life, but he still couldn't stop a large number of Konoha ninjas from dying on the spot.
In fact, this is also part of the plan.
The Konoha Ninja Army is going to have a serious fight with the White Zetsu Army.
If Konoha didn't suffer any casualties in Madara's attack, wouldn't it be making fools of the entire ninja world?
However, the area ruled by Konoha will become unprecedentedly vast in the future, and there will be many places that need ninjas, so the life of every Konoha ninja is now very precious.
Therefore, the ninja army led by Minato consisted of only one thousand Konoha ninjas, and the rest were Oto-nin and Sand-ninja captives.
All of the more than 5,000 Sand Ninjas that were captured were brought out by Minato at once and placed at the front of the team.
Under the training of Yamanaka Kaze, Shimura Kenji and Orochimaru, these Sand Ninjas have become emotionless killing machines.
Now is the time to realize their value.
Finally, under the desperate charge of this group of Sand Ninjas with one for two or even one for one, as well as Zetsu's deliberate let-up, the ten thousand White Zetsu were quickly wiped out, and the Konoha Ninja Army broke through the blockade of the White Zetsu Army.
At the same time, Minato also signaled his men to capture some White Zetsu and keep them under strict guard. These were all excellent experimental materials.
Most of the 5,000 Sand Ninjas were killed, and almost all of the remaining ones were injured.
Minato's brows were furrowed, but not because of the loss of manpower.
Instead, after breaking through the White Zetsu's barrier, he faced the battlefield between the Allied Ninja Forces and Uchiha Madara.
"Nozomi Jonin, perhaps our pincer attack plan will not succeed." Minato said with a wry smile.
