Chapter 112: The Beginning of the War
When a fleet of more than a dozen ships that looked like pirate ships appeared on the sea south of the Land of Waves, Ryosuke slowly stood up from the branch, his eyes looking through the mountains and rivers, locking onto the huge fleet.
Compared to sneaking around and exploring behind the team, this time he didn't care at all about being discovered by the enemy forces, and he set his sights on every ninja on the fleet.
This group of people did not conceal their whereabouts at all. Their only purpose was to land on the island and attack as quickly as possible. They no longer had any intention of hiding.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Be prepared!"
"Remember, notify people from other forces first!"
On the island, the Hyuga people, who had been well prepared and keeping a close eye on the southern sea, also saw the rapidly approaching warships. They reacted immediately and began running to notify others.
When many ninjas wearing Konoha vests and Konoha forehead protectors jumped into the sea like dumplings, landed steadily on the sea surface, and then rushed towards this side on the sea water, Konoha, Sand Village, Hot Spring Ninja, Snow Ninja...
On the cliff south, there were people from various forces. They all looked down in a somewhat strange way, at the poor performance that was all in darkness.
It is clearly a battle that requires serious preparation, but their mood right now is very subtle. It was like watching a group of clowns pretending to perform.
When they knew in advance what actions the enemy forces might take, their mentality became the same as Ryosuke's, calm and even a little bit wanting to laugh. Yes, they already knew in advance that some people might intend to disguise themselves as Konoha and rush to the island to destroy the alliance.
As for the situation on the island, neither the Fourth Raikage nor the Third Tsuchikage knew anything. Apart from the distribution of various forces on the island and the map of the geographical environment, they didn't know much. Although they had three jonin-level spies within the alliance, they have rarely received intelligence reports since the major forces arrived on the island.
"Did they notice our arrival so quickly? And their sensing range is so far away. Are there ninjas with such keen perception in the Land of Bears and the Hot Spring(water) ?"
Standing at the bow, the Third Tsuchikage's gaze was fixed on the distance. As he got closer, it was no longer a black bean shape, but had taken on the rough outline of an island.
When Ryosuke and the others detected them with their sensory techniques, they were also aware . Although the ship is made of special materials, it can block or hinder sensory techniques. But when the ninjas jumped off the boat and ran towards the territory of the Land of Waves on the sea, they were already exposed to the enemy's sight.
"It's a bit fast indeed."
The Fourth Raikage also realized this problem. "But the situation is still stable. Their alliance is not complete yet. They are like a pile of loose sand and will be easily carried away by our hurricane."
Like Ōnoki, a trace of worry arose in his heart. Even though he was worried inside, he couldn't show it on his face when the war was about to begin. He could only pretend to be confident and say some encouraging words.
"It was Konoha that attacked them along the way. The ones who killed Gato were the three rebel ninjas who were given the mission and wore Konoha forehead protectors. Their alliance may have been torn apart, and they were fighting among themselves before we even arrived."
The Fourth Raikage tried to think positively. It would not be easy to take the place of Konoha and Sunagakure while destroying the alliance. Obviously, this is not easy to do.
"No matter what, this time we must succeed!"
Ōnoki also nodded and spoke firmly. Although both of them had a bad feeling in their hearts, now that they were here, and even the two of them were on the battlefield in person, there was no reason to be timid. No matter what conspiracy or intrigue there is, the final outcome will be determined by the next battle. This... is a crucial battle!
"But do you think... they will come?" The Fourth Raikage suddenly spoke. Turning his eyes around, he looked at the endless sea.
"Perhaps..."
Ōnoki replied uncertainly.
While they were talking to each other, the ninja soldiers who rushed down the fleet and charged towards the Land of Waves from the sea had already prepared for battle under the leadership of their captains.
"Water Style, Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Under the command of their respective captains, the ninjas who were good at water escape techniques quickly formed hand seals. They did not intend to wait until they reached the island before taking action. This was a pure act of sabotage, and they didn't have to worry about anyone's life on the island, so all they had to do was do their best to cause damage to the island as Konoha. While on the sea, the power of water-style ninjutsu will be increased to a certain extent, making it the best attack to start a battle.
The galloping ninja army was like a surging wave, and as their chakras were connected and released to each other, a huge dragon like a train gathered from under the sea. The dragon swung its tail vigorously in the water, as if it had real intelligence. It swam freely on the seabed, stirring up the already turbulent sea surface.
Roar--
Near the cliff of the Land of Waves it suddenly jumped up from the bottom of the sea. Its huge and ferocious dragon head roared like a beast and crashed into the small island of Wave Country. On that terrifying face, even every dragon whisker was condensed under the precise control of the chakra of each ninja.
The power of the ninjutsu unleashed by this combined ninjutsu is no weaker than the power of the legendary gods, and it has the power to directly destroy the Land of Waves.
"Fire Style, Fire Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Wind Release, Vacuum Ball!"
The battlefield seemed to be divided into two sides at this moment. On one side was the joint ninja army of Kumogakure and Iwagakure on the sea. On the other side, stood high on the cliff was the Allied Ninja Army led by Konoha.
The former fire dragon reappeared, and this time with the help of other ninjas in the alliance, this fire dragon was even more majestic than the one during the battle on the cliff. Driven by the wind jutsu of the Sand Village ninja, the fire became more and more intense, and it rushed towards the water dragon with unstoppable momentum.
On one side is the blazing red flame, on the other side is the deep blue sea. Two giant dragons that seemed to exist only in various myths and legends continued to solidify under the gathering of chakra.
Finally, they collided in the air. Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The next second, a powerful air wave spread in all directions with the two giant dragons as the center.
"Boom!"
The huge sound was like thunder, as if the gods high above in the sky were angry about the disputes in the world and gave warnings.
On the sea, many ninjas from the Iwagakure and Kumogakure coalition were blown backwards, or they failed to control their chakras and fell into the water. The same thing happened to the Allied Ninja Army on the top of the cliff. Many of them were knocked to the ground by this indiscriminate air wave.
Brake--
The two huge chakras canceled each other out in the air, and dense sea water fell from the sky, pouring on every ninja like rain. It was scalding hot, but impossible to dodge.
But at this moment, no one screamed or ran away because of the burning sensation. The moment the war broke out, everyone was mentally prepared to sacrifice.
The next moment, one by one, the combined forces from Iwa and Kumo, strong and murderous, rushed to the top of the cliff. The Allied Ninja Army on the top of the cliff also drew their sharp weapons towards them with red eyes.
A war broke out.
