LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 258: General Attack!
As most ninjas age, their mental and physical strength will decline rapidly.
This happened to Hanzo in the past, and it also happened to Hiruzen.
One was strong in his youth, and the other became soft in his old age.
However, there are exceptions.
Like Onoki who relies on Dust Release to deal damage, and Chiyo who relies on puppets to deal damage, and so on.
Even though they are old, their strength will not decrease much.
Coupled with the wealth of experience accumulated over decades, and the powerful Ten Chikamatsu puppets, Chiyo's overall strength is considered above average among Kage level.
At least she is much better than Terumi Mei, the younger Fifth Mizukage.
Although Chiyo and the Chikamatsu puppets are very strong, the opponent is even more outrageous.
Although it's not the strongest Deva Path, the combined five other paths are no weaker than Jiraiya in Sage Mode.
Chiyo herself probably wouldn't be able to defeat them.
After the battle began, Chiyo herself felt it deeply.
The entire body of Asura Path has been transformed into a mechanical weapon, Animal Path can summon various powerful summoning creatures, Preta Path can absorb all ninjutsu attacks, Human Path can extract souls, and even Naraka Path can revive teammates.
Close range, long range, human shield, magician, nurse.
Everything is available.
This formation, let alone defeating Chiyo. Even if they fought against the Five Kage, they would not lose. If they added Deva Path, Nagato might still have a good chance of winning!
Fortunately, Deva Path is not here, otherwise, Almighty Push would defeat Chiyo.
Just two random attacks would probably destroy most of Chiyo's puppets.
However, even though the Five Paths of Pain are strong, Chiyo's strategy is different.
In this battle, she is not trying to defeat Pain, she is only trying to hold him back for a while longer.
Just buy some time for the counterattack of the captured Iwagakure ninjas and the general attack of the Ninja Alliance.
Ten Chikamatsu puppets close to Kage level can still hold out for a while under Chiyo's full defense.
What's more, there is Akatsuchi who has acceptable strength, and two clones of Onoki to help him.
Although they can't defeat the Five Paths of Pain, they can still deal with some of the Amegakure Ninja minions and disrupt the Five Paths of Pain.
Chiyo is confident that she will hold out for at least ten minutes.
If during this period, support from the other side comes, or maybe the Ninja Alliance decides to stay silent and do nothing to save them, then there's nothing she can do.
❀❀❀
On the other hand, outside Iwagakure.
On the side of the Ninja Alliance, a large group of people were still staring at each other.
High in the sky, in the fierce battle between the four people, it was almost impossible for other ninjas to intervene.
Only the four of them could fly.
The others rushed forward bravely, and if they had nowhere to rely on in the air, it was almost like seeking death. This made the Fourth Raikage even more anxious, and he wanted to join the battlefield several times.
But Deidara and Sasori didn't give him a chance at all, and continued to maintain the high-altitude battlefield in the sky.
The Second Tsuchikage and the Third Kazekage had made them numb and tired of facing them.
If there was the Fourth Raikage who was good at killing people, it was almost certain that they would lose.
How could they give the Fourth Raikage another chance to break through?
This caused the ninja alliance below, all staring and anxious as if they were here not to fight, but to watch a show.
With the return of the needle birds released by Chiyo, information about Iwagakure was sent back to the Ninja Alliance.
A major change in form.
The Fourth Raikage immediately found Terumi Mei and Orochimaru and began discussing a general attack.
This battle had almost choked him.
"Kazekage and the others not only rescued the hostages, but also found the hiding place of the enemy leader, and were even able to rescue thousands of Iwagakure ninjas?"
"Isn't this a little too lucky?"
"Could it be a scam?"
After reading the information, Terumi felt worried.
Wasn't this too coincidental?
Although Onoki was seriously injured, the situation was not optimistic. But overall, Chiyo and the others had achieved extraordinary results!
Almost single-handedly, she created a great opportunity for victory for the entire coalition!
The premise is that this information is true.
"Whatever, we'll find out when we go in. I've said that there's no need to use siege tactics. Just launch a general attack and rush to kill all the enemies!"
The Fourth Raikage, who was holding back his anger, was too lazy to care whether the information was true or false.
In his eyes, it would be better to launch a general attack as soon as possible than to delay.
If they launched a general attack earlier, they wouldn't be tortured by Deidara's clay bombs for so long and sacrifice many ninjas in vain.
"Hokage, what do you think?"
Terumi was still a little worried. So she looked at Orochimaru and asked for his opinion.
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and scanned the information sent back by Chiyo again.
He felt that the information Chiyo conveyed should be true, but the facts Chiyo saw were not necessarily true.
Orochimaru knew the Akatsuki members very well. In his opinion, the infiltration operation was normal and smooth, but it itself was unreasonable.
There was most likely some kind of trap and conspiracy hidden here!
But what difference did it make?
Launching a general attack directly, allowing both sides to engage in full-scale warfare, which further increased casualties.
Madara was one of Orochimaru's targets.
What's more, the battle was becoming more intense.
The more powerful people died, the richer the Edo Tensei army on his side became.
The more they fought, the greater his advantage, so what was he afraid of?
"I agree with Raikage. Advantage is our strength, so there's no harm in trying to launch a general attack. Even if there's a trap, it's impossible for the other side to destroy the entire allied forces at once."
"The worst-case scenario is to retreat and regroup. But if the intelligence is correct, this is a good opportunity to cooperate inside and outside to completely wipe out the enemy!" Orochimaru actively encouraged.
Kakashi next to him seemed to object, but he still held back and dared not expose the Hokage.
"Okay! The Hokage actually agrees with me. Mizukage, do you have any more questions?"
The Fourth Raikage admired Orochimaru even more, secretly sighing that he didn't expect this gloomy-looking snake to be so aggressive and bold.
It was very much to his taste!
Although Terumi still had concerns about this, she basically agreed with Orochimaru's statement.
The Ninja Alliance had tens of thousands of people fighting against the Akatsuki organization with more than a thousand people.
The advantage was that they could accept risk-taking and reduction to a certain extent.
❀❀❀
The ninjas who were tasked with monitoring Iwagakure on the front lines suddenly received news.
It was said that riots and large-scale battles seemed to have occurred in Iwagakure.
Most of the Amegakure ninjas who were responsible for defense were transferred back to the village to suppress them.
"Hahaha! That's right!"
"That old woman really saved the Iwagakure ninjas inside."
"Very good! A great opportunity!"
"Immediately send orders to the entire army to launch a general attack on Iwagakure!"
As the commander of the coalition forces, the Fourth Raikage was very excited.
With a wave of his hand, he immediately ordered a general attack.
At the same time, he turned to Orochimaru and Terumi and said: "Hokage, Mizukage, the overall offensive command of the allied forces will be handed over to you!"
"I'll take the first step. Mabui, get ready for Tenso no jutsu!"
"The target is the Tsuchikage Building. I'm going to kill the enemy leader first!"
