MSIN: Chapter 59 [Shout out to Allen Yanovsky]
The Third Hokage's attack was temporarily halted due to the continuous explosions occurring in the rear of the Suna ninja formation.
Initially, the Hokage instinctively thought this was the Suna ninjas preparing for a large-scale attack. These continuous explosions couldn't be some small trick, and they were certainly worth being wary of.
However, after a while, he realized that it might not be the case. After the explosions occurred, he keenly noticed that the Suna ninja's command was a bit stiff and malfunctioning.
Had they messed up while preparing for a large-scale forbidden jutsu?
That was also unlikely. After all, on the battlefield, no one would use such a dangerous jutsu without absolute certainty.
So, the remaining possibility… was it not the enemy preparing to attack, but our side launching an attack on the enemy?
But who could have done such a thing? The Leaf Village didn't have any ninjas who could launch such a long-range, large-scale attack, right? After all, there were a large number of Suna ninjas in the way. No one could easily attack from afar like that.
Take Minato Namikaze as an example. Because of jutsu like Flying Thunder God, his attack range was quite wide, but he couldn't be categorized as a long-range ninja. Essentially, his method of attacking by moving his body was still a close-range ninja technique.
Just as the Third Hokage was constantly speculating about the explosions that had just occurred, Minato appeared behind him.
"Third Hokage-sama, those were probably aerial attacks from Shiraishi Haori."
"Haori? Does he have that kind of attack technique?"
Haori surprised the Third Hokage again. Aerial attacks, that was possible.
But if Haori knew this kind of jutsu, why hadn't he reported it during the previous battle arrangements? If he had reported it earlier, they could have definitely arranged this attack in a more reasonable location, where it would have been more destructive.
The Hokage didn't know now that Haori had already bombed the enemy's command center, which was the most reasonable thing to do.
This was the inevitable advantage of aerial reconnaissance. Even with the Byakugan's clairvoyance, aerial reconnaissance was much better for grasping the overall situation and the bigger picture.
Based on the enemy's movements, Haori, overlooking from the air, could easily identify the location of their command center and then throw the attack method down, instead of peeling it layer by layer like the Hyuga clan.
"The user of this jutsu... is probably not Haori but his summoning beast..."
Minato even sweated for Haori. He probably didn't even know what characteristics his summoning beast had. He dared to summon it and fly around openly. He was quite bold.
This bird could bomb. He probably just discovered that, right?
It has to be said that Minato was very insightful. His guess was basically the truth.
As Minato was talking to the Hokage, the explosions were still coming intermittently.
"Minato, let our people attack with all their might. I think Haori might have destroyed the enemy's command system." The Third Hokage pondered for a moment, then made his judgment.
Although they couldn't see what was happening in the Suna ninja's rear, a chaotic and disordered atmosphere was already being transmitted.
Although there was no prior instruction, Haori still performed to the best of his ability. He dropped his bomb on the enemy's command center. Although he was largely lucky, his heart was set on… well, it wasn't dirty, but it has to be said that his idea was quite unsanitary.
The Suna ninja command center was blown to smithereens. Haori, having accidentally discovered the Eight-legged Crow's power, didn't give up attacking the command center. Instead, he went all out and bombed the Suna ninja command center, which was already blown to smithereens, for another half a day.
Haori basically didn't expect to blow up the Kazekage. The Fourth Kazekage, after all, was a Kage-level ninja, the leader of a village. He definitely had the necessary defensive measures and couldn't be easily killed. But it would be nice to blow him up so he was covered in dust.
In fact, Haori underestimated the power of the egg-shaped bombs. Of course, the main reason was that his attack was too sudden. Not only did the enemy not expect it, but even he didn't expect it.
The Fourth Kazekage was caught off guard and blown up directly. It wasn't bad luck, it was deserved. Haori had originally wanted to use a high-altitude object to target his head.
The Kazekage's situation now, although not as exaggerated as being blown up, he was still somewhat injured.
But what exactly was the Kazekage's injury? The ground was already full of smoke from the bombing. The perpetrator, Haori, couldn't see clearly. But it was fine because his main goal wasn't to kill the Kazekage. He just wanted to take advantage of the chaos and completely destroy the Suna ninja's command system.
Facing the Fourth Kazekage head-on was the Hokage's job.
After unleashing several orders of magnitude of egg bombs, Haori finally turned to attack other targets. But the Suna ninjas, having seen the power of this thing, weren't stupid. They immediately ran away on the ground, trying to avoid it. But unfortunately, most ninjas' legs couldn't outrun a bird's wings!
Even if they could outrun the bird, Haori's goal had been achieved. After blowing up the command center, his second goal was to completely disrupt the enemy's formation.
Whether it was blown up or the enemy running around on their own, the result was the same. They were in disarray. Once the enemy was in disarray, that was the Leaf Village's opportunity.
From now on, in terms of the casualty exchange rate between the two sides in this war, the Suna ninjas were already in a terrible state. Because no matter how chaotic the Leaf Village was, they could at least ensure that their ninjas operated in squads of four.
But the Suna ninjas were being bombed and chased, and many ninjas couldn't find their units. They had to guard against aerial attacks while facing the Leaf Village's squad-style attacks alone. The result was tragic. Many Suna ninjas couldn't withstand a round of attacks from a Leaf Village squad and fell.
The enemy couldn't launch effective counterattacks. The final outcome of this war began to head towards what the Leaf Village hoped for. The scales of victory were tilting towards the Leaf Village.
Considering that any flying device has a limited supply of eggs, Haori estimated that the Eight-legged Crow's attack method was quite chakra-consuming. Therefore, after bombing the main strategic target and disrupting the enemy's formation, Haori stayed on the enemy's head, maintaining a period of panic, and then transmitted a message to the command center.
"I have largely destroyed the enemy's command system and completely disrupted their rear formation. The Kazekage's specific situation is unknown, but the Suna ninjas won't be able to launch an effective counterattack in the short term."
The command center was silent for a moment, stunned by Haori's achievements in just a few minutes.
If they could transmit emoticons with sound, they would definitely send Haori a confused face.
If they remembered correctly, your mission, Shiraishi Haori, was reconnaissance, right? But the work you're doing now, there's no way you could say it's the result of reconnaissance, right?
