Chapter 90 Raid on the Camp, Deterrence
Chapter 81 Raid on the Camp, Deterrence
Jiraiya carefully observed the Iwagakure camp and gradually formed a plan to infiltrate it.
After discussing the matter in hushed tones with the others, he quietly left alone, taking advantage of the twilight and the terrain to carefully approach the camp.
At this moment, a four-person Iwagakure squad finished their patrol and was returning to camp.
"Ah—I'm finally back! I'm starving! I'm going to have a big meal tonight!" one of them complained, rubbing his stomach.
"Haha, Gang, you're always the one who yells the loudest about being hungry," another person said with a laugh.
"Of course, I'm still growing, I'll definitely grow to over two meters tall in the future!" The Iwa ninja named Gang puffed out his chest, his tone full of pride.
"Alright, stop the chit-chat," the squad leader interrupted. "Slow down ahead, walk back to camp for inspection, and don't trigger any alerts."
"Yes, Captain."
The group stopped running and started walking, slowly making their way to the camp along the main road.
After they passed by, Jiraiya's tall figure quietly appeared from behind a tree.
He appeared behind the last person in the group like a ghost, causing the Iwa ninja to pause slightly.
Soon, Jiraiya sank into the shadows beneath his feet and disappeared without a trace.
"What's wrong, Flint?" the captain asked, turning around.
"It's nothing, just a bug flew by," Huoshi replied calmly.
"Okay, don't dawdle." The captain glanced at him again but didn't ask any more questions.
"Yes."
The four of them soon arrived at the gate of the Hidden Rock Camp.
There were two ninjas on each side, and they raised their hands to signal a halt when they saw them.
After a thorough inspection, confirming that there were no signs of transformation magic or illusion magic, the two sides thanked each other for their hard work and allowed each other to enter.
"Captain, do we still need to go register together? I'm starving—" Gang muttered, clutching his stomach.
"You idiot—never mind, I'll register myself. You guys go to the cooking area first." The captain waved his hand helplessly, and relaxed after returning to the camp.
"Great! Captain, you've done a great job!" Gang cheered and pulled his two teammates towards the cooking area.
The captain shook his head and walked alone towards the mission registration desk.
"You guys go ahead and eat, I need to use the restroom," Huoshi suddenly said.
"Hey, Flint, you really know how to pick your timing—" Gang muttered, "Hurry up and come back!"
"Okay," Huoshi replied, turning and walking in another direction.
"The toilet isn't over there, is it?" another teammate asked, puzzled.
"Who knows—maybe he went to talk to Yu again?" Gang winked. "He wasn't given up after being rejected last time, was he?"
"Hehe, Yu wouldn't even look at him." The two laughed and walked away.
Firestone broke away from his teammates and quickly turned into a secluded corner.
Behind him, Jiraiya's tall figure slowly emerged—it was the secret technique of Mount Myōboku, the Toad Shadow Manipulation Technique.
"Infiltration successful," Jiraiya thought to himself.
Seeing that the young Iwa ninja in front of him was showing signs of waking up, he struck him on the back of the neck with a palm strike, and the man immediately collapsed.
Jiraiya looked around to make sure no one was watching, and thought to himself, "Now, I just have to wait for Minato to bring his men over."
Outside the Iwagakure camp, Minato continued to monitor Jiraiya's movements.
When he sensed that the Flying Thunder God Kunai on his teacher had entered the Iwagakure camp and stopped moving in one place, he immediately whispered, "Jiraiya-sensei has infiltrated. I'll teleport everyone there now. Please get ready."
"Minato, we've been waiting for this for ages." Dekayi's voice was filled with suppressed excitement.
"Alright, everyone be careful." After saying that, Minato instantly connected his chakra with everyone and disappeared.
Jiraiya waited quietly in his hiding place for a moment, and then the figures of the Konoha people suddenly appeared.
He surveyed the crowd with a serious expression and ordered in a deep voice, "This time, we must teach Iwagakure a lesson. Proceed according to plan!"
"yes!"
The crowd dispersed in response.
Jiraiya bit his thumb, his hands forming hand seals with lightning speed: "Summoning: Roof Collapse Technique!"
boom-!!!
A giant blue-green toad fell from the sky, instantly crushing the neat camp into ruins.
The ground shook violently, sending rocks, soil, and wood chips flying everywhere, and the booming sound echoed throughout the camp.
The giant toad had its claws crossed in front of its chest, an orange-red belt around its waist, and two giant samurai swords on its back. Its expression was calm and imposing.
This imposing entrance officially kicked off the Konoha Jonin raid.
Minato also formed hand seals, white smoke billowed up, and Gamaken's enormous figure appeared.
"Toad Ken, I'm sorry to trouble you again."
"This is a surprise attack on the Iwagakure camp. There are many enemies, so please be careful with your defenses," Minato quickly instructed.
"Minato, though I'm clumsy, I'll do my best to help you," Gamaken replied in a gruff voice, gripping his spiked trident and giant shield tightly.
Jiraiya and Minato, using two giant toads to clear a path, rampaged through the Iwagakure camp.
Wielding the giant sword and iron fork, the panicked Iwa ninjas along the way were no match for him. Many were unable to dodge in time and were cut in half or smashed to pieces by the iron fork.
The once quiet and solemn camp descended into chaos with the appearance of two large spirit beasts, filled with piercing screams and cacophony of shouts.
The remaining Konoha Jonin surrounded the toad and engaged in battle, blocking the Iwa ninja who were trying to gather for a counterattack and disrupting their offensive and formation.
In the command barracks, Huang Tu rushed out the door the moment the roar sounded.
Seeing the two giant toads rampaging through the camp and the Konoha ninjas slaughtering indiscriminately, his eyes bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead, and he roared through gritted teeth, "Damn Jiraiya!"
"Lord Huangtu!" The surrounding Iwa ninja quickly gathered, each with a face filled with shock, anger, and fighting spirit.
"Follow me! Kill all these Konoha ninjas!" Huang Tu waved his hand fiercely and charged into the battle.
"yes!"
More than ten Iwa ninja followed closely behind, and companions continued to join them along the way, quickly expanding the group.
"Jiraiya, you bastard—!"
The roar of the loess soil echoed throughout the camp.
He rapidly formed hand seals and slammed his hands on the ground, unleashing the "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
A thick earthen wall rose up in front of the toad, barely blocking the toad's sweeping giant sword.
Where the blade touched, the earthen wall cracked with spiderweb-like fissures, and after holding on for a moment, it shattered with a crash.
But this brief delay allowed several Iwa ninja to escape the blade and survive by sheer luck.
Jiraiya stood on the back of Gamahiro and recognized the son of Hiroki.
He hadn't seen the kid for years, and he'd grown so tall he almost didn't recognize him.
"Yellow Earth, the Hidden Stone Village has invaded the Land of Fire, and they must pay the price!" Jiraiya shouted in response.
Seeing that more and more Iwa ninja were gathering around Huang Tu, Jiraiya formed hand seals and unleashed a "Toad Oil Bomb!"
His chakra rapidly transformed into highly viscous toad oil, which poured down from a height, splashing in a semi-circle towards the gathered Iwa ninja.
The Iwa ninja, unaware of what was happening, frantically dodged, but the toad oil splashed over a wide area, and many of them were covered in it.
The ground was covered in oil, making it slippery and difficult to walk on. Several Iwa ninjas fell while dodging, and the scene was chaotic.
"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!"
Jiraiya didn't pause, forming hand seals again and spewing out a raging inferno.
The oil and fire clashed and exploded, sending a scorching shockwave crashing towards the Iwagakure team.
"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"
Several Jonin around the loess simultaneously formed hand seals, and several earthen walls rose one after another to block the flames.
However, the toad oil that had been spilled earlier had already covered the surrounding area, and many Iwa ninjas were covered in oil stains. When the flames swept over, they immediately ignited a patch of fire.
A dozen or so Iwa ninja were engulfed by the flames, screaming and howling in agony.
The scorching heat forced the rock ninja behind the earthen wall to remain hidden.
"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"
Huang Tu seized the opportunity to retaliate, and large shards of rock suddenly pierced the ground beneath Hama Guang's feet.
Hama Guang was startled and jumped up, but was still stabbed in the leg, and blood flowed out.
It endured the pain and swung its sword diagonally, severing the bodies of several Iwa ninjas who couldn't dodge in time, resulting in a gruesome scene.
On the other side, Gamaken wielded his iron fork and giant shield, combining offense and defense, and every strike resulted in casualties among the Iwa ninja.
Wherever it went, it left deep pits and cracks in the ground, and the neat barracks collapsed and shattered under the swing of the pitchfork.
"Earth Release: Rock Gun Technique!"
Nearly twenty Iwa ninja gathered under the command of a Jonin, some spitting pebbles from their mouths, others slapping the ground and launching them. The pebbles expanded rapidly in the air and rained down on Gamaken.
Clang! Clang! Clang! ————
Toad Jian used his giant shield to parry repeatedly, but was still hit by stone projectiles coming from different directions. He groaned in pain, but it was still bearable.
At that moment, Minato suddenly threw a kunai behind the group of Iwa ninja.
The kunai landed off-center from the crowd, but the Iwa ninja didn't notice.
Minato's figure vanished from Gamabunta's back, appearing in a blind spot behind the group of Iwa ninja—"Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique!"
A sharp wind blade swept across, slicing through the unsuspecting Iwa ninja. Limbs flew off, blood splattered everywhere, and screams erupted.
Minato did not linger in the fight. After landing a successful blow, he immediately teleported back onto Gamaken's back—he had to conserve his chakra to ensure that he could eventually lead everyone to safety.
Compared to his composure, his two teammates looked rather disheveled.
Dekayi, Kida Maki, and Shirakumo formed a temporary three-person team to face off against more than thirty Iwa ninja led by Iwagakure Jonin Bunya.
"Earth Release·Yellow Spring Marsh!"
Dekayi made the first move, and a large area of mud spread out under the feet of the Iwa ninja. More than ten people were unable to dodge in time and were trapped in it.
Maki Kida coordinated perfectly, throwing out several kunai with burning explosive tags almost simultaneously.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosive tag detonated above the swamp, and the Iwa ninja trapped inside screamed in agony.
However, the other Iwa ninja showed no fear and threw kunai and shuriken, some of which were also set on fire with explosive tags.
Baiyun held the sword in his right hand in a reverse grip in the morning, and swiftly swung the blade—
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sword!"
A sharp wind blade swept out, knocking down the incoming ninja tools.
The Iwa ninja team was thrown into chaos.
The Wind Release ninjutsu unleashed without warning caught them off guard.
More than ten Iwa ninjas had their limbs severed by the wind blades, and several of them had their heads blown off, with blood gushing out.
Jonin Bunga witnessed this horrific scene, his jaw clenched, his facial muscles twitching, and he was filled with uncontrollable rage.
He formed a hand seal and slapped the ground, instantly erecting a not-so-thick earthen wall. He then took out a stack of explosive talismans, quickly stuck them on the wall, and then leaped backward.
Another thick, square rock wall rises from the ground.
Wen Ya's burly body landed behind Fang Yan, his muscles tense. He shoved his right palm against a rock wall and charged forward into the earthen wall. The explosive talisman detonated with a bang upon impact.
The explosive energy was blocked by the thick block rock and released in a directed manner forward, shattering the earthen wall in front of it.
The earthen wall collapsed, and rubble flew out in a dense barrage towards the three members of Konoha.
"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"
"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"
Deka and Kida Maki hurriedly used defensive ninjutsu, while Shirakumo Hayami dodged with her superb body-flicking skills.
However, they still underestimated the power of Wenya's "detonating missile". The blast of rubble bombarded the earthen wall and the water wall, and the earthen wall was quickly covered with cracks and collapsed.
Although the water flow slowed down the speed of the stone projectiles, several still penetrated the water wall and hit Maki Kida.
Several muffled groans followed, indicating that both men were injured.
Fortunately, the defensive ninjutsu cushioned the impact, preventing the stone bullet from piercing the body and only causing blunt force trauma.
Baiyun once again swung the Vacuum Sword in the morning to cover the two's retreat.
Despite the fierce attacks from the Konoha members, this was ultimately the Iwagakure camp.
After overcoming the initial panic, the Iwa ninja began to gather from all directions.
Amidst the ruins and behind the rubble, figures of Iwa ninja kept emerging, their eyes fierce as wolves.
Seeing that the group was about to be surrounded, the three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, who had not yet made a move, finally took action.
"Multiply Technique!"
Akimichi Kenki clasped his hands together, and his body rapidly expanded, transforming into a giant over twenty meters tall.
"Shadow Slap Technique!"
Nara Hideki crouched down, forming hand seals, his shadow twisting and extending beneath his feet, connecting with the giant shadow beneath Akimichi Kenki.
"The art of mind-to-body transmission!"
Yamanaka Satoshi closed his eyes and sensed the enemy's location, placing his hand on the top of the Nara Hideki tree to transmit the perceived location.
"Human Bouncing Yo-Yo!"
Akimichi Kenki's massive body began to spin rapidly, and Nara Hideki used his shadow to precisely control the direction, like a terrifying giant yo-yo, crashing towards the densest area of Iwa ninja.
Wherever it went, Iwa ninjas were either knocked away or crushed, creating chaos.
"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"
"Earth Release·Earth Ding Wall!"
The Jonin from Iwagakure used Earth Release defensive techniques to protect their comrades.
Then, Konoha's humanoid tanks became exceptionally fierce. Under their high-speed impact, earthen walls and ramparts crumbled, and the Iwa ninja were injured by the flying debris.
Seeing the heavy casualties among the Iwa ninja in this attack, Huang Tu was enraged and slammed his palms into the ground, unleashing "Mountain Earth Technique!"
The earth on both sides suddenly rose up, transforming into two giant hand-like hemispherical rock formations that converged towards the center.
However, his target was not the spinning flesh bomb, but the area where the giant summon beast Gamahiro was located.
Jiraiya was standing on Gamahiro's back, while Nara Hideki and Yamanaka Satoshi were controlling the human bomb tank in front of him.
These two rocky hemispheres, each with a radius of over thirty meters, enveloped them together.
Huang Tu's attack was incredibly fierce; once the attack landed, the three elite Jonin would either die or be severely injured.
Hama Guang crossed his two swords and pressed them against the closing rock wall, but the rock wall was still visibly closing in and was about to give way.
At the critical moment, Minato flashed by, instantly pulling the three away from danger.
The struggling to stay afloat turned into white smoke with a "pop" and disappeared from the battlefield.
boom-!!!
The two hemispherical giant rocks collided with a deafening roar that shook the entire camp.
This seemingly inevitable attack was ultimately neutralized by Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique.
Akimichi Kenki's human bomb tank lost control of the Shadow Slap Technique and immediately went out of control, rushing straight forward, destroying all the barracks along the way, and knocking over and crushing many Iwa ninja who rushed to the battlefield.
A ravaged ravine ran through the camp, its newly formed path covered with splinters of wood, soil, and blood.
He didn't stop until he had run more than a hundred meters.
Akimichi Kenki's gigantic body shrank back to its original size, and Minato's figure suddenly appeared, taking him away from this place.
In the blink of an eye, the eight members of Konoha had gathered on Gamabunta's back, looking down at the ravaged Iwagakure camp below.
Looking around, the camp was unrecognizable. Flames crackled and burned amidst the ruins, thick smoke billowed, and cries of agony echoed in the night wind.
At this moment, Jiraiya's voice boomed: "Yellow Earth, tell Grandpa Onoki that war will bring no benefits, only casualties!"
After he finished speaking, with a loud bang, Toad Jian turned into a large cloud of white smoke.
Almost simultaneously, the figures of the eight Konoha members vanished, leaving behind only devastation.
