Chapter 105 Does Mochizuki Souji Want a Decisive Battle?
Sarutobi Shinnosuke felt that it was somewhat inappropriate to start a major battle so easily, given Kirigakure's advantage in numbers and terrain.
However, the Souji is now the general, while he is only the vice-general, so he has no way to stop it.
"Does he really intend to kill two thousand people using the same method, and then wipe out the main force of Kirigakure...?
That's too outrageous! The enemy has more than ten thousand people, including the Mizukage and Jinchuriki..."
Not only Shinnosuke, but the entire Konoha ninja army, from Jonin to Genin, shared the same confusion after receiving the order.
With only 5,000 ninja troops responsible for holding them back, does Mochizuki Souji really have to rely on himself and a small number of subordinates to deal with more than 10,000 Kirigakure ninjas?
the next day.
The Konoha ninja army departed from the port and headed towards the island where the main Kirigakure force was located.
Because Souji had recently inflicted several major defeats on Kirigakure and acquired many large ships, along with Konoha's own vessels, the sight of hundreds of ships of all sizes sailing together was quite a spectacle.
As usual, the Souji and the Kage members each summoned a celestial dragon using the Summoning Technique, leaving ordinary ninjas envious as they stayed in the sky.
"As before, you will come with me to attack Kirigakure, while Yahiko and the others will fight alongside the Konoha Ninja Army."
The Souji gave these instructions to everyone, and Sasori looked somewhat helpless.
"Hey... are we really the only ones going?
Even if we include the dragon, we only have three fighters.
The enemy has more than 10,000 people, plus the Mizukage and Jinchuriki.
This is not comparable to the small number of people we had last time."
As soon as he said it, Sasori paused slightly, realizing that what he had said was outrageous.
Two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, a large number of Jonin and Special Jonin, a total force of two thousand people, and I actually call it 'that small number of people'?
Damn it, I've only been with Mochizuki Souji for a few days.
Have I gone crazy too?
"I know, don't worry. Unlike last time, I don't intend to kill all ten thousand people. That's obviously impossible!"
"My goal this time is simply to take down the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the Mizukage Yagura Karatachi, and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki."
"This is a decapitation strike tactic.
The most crucial element is the Mizukage. As long as we can eliminate the Kage, no matter how many ordinary ninjas there are, they are not a threat."
Souji patted Sasori on the shoulder with a cheerful smile.
Sasori was utterly speechless.
Is it just about dealing with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the Mizukage, and the Jinchuriki?
God Dema is just 'just'!
Although I am also a Kage-level fighter, I would not be afraid to face any Kage, but that would definitely be a battle I take very seriously.
Mochizuki Souji is definitely not in his head!
Sasori, rubbing his forehead with a slight headache, said:
"I damaged a lot of my puppets before. In such a short time, I can't even repair them all.
Now I only have about twenty usable ones.
You'd better not rely too much on my combat power.
A puppeteer doesn't have much combat power left without puppets."
"Is that so?
Then you decide for yourself. Try to be careful and use the puppets sparingly."
The Souji said casually.
Anyway, the only time we really need Sasori's combat power is when we need to farm a lot of reputation in the early stages.
Once I've earned those 60,000+ reputation points and upgraded my ultimate skill to level 6, I can instantly kill the Water Shadow, and then the Hidden Mist Village will naturally collapse.
The Konoha ninja army advanced only to a point where they could see the Hidden Mist Village, and then stopped.
After all, the number of Konoha ninjas is far too small. Sending them into battle might alleviate some of the pressure, but it would inevitably result in heavy losses.
At sea, a few Jonin from Kirigakure could easily wipe out countless ordinary ninjas by creating a few large waves.
Even so, Kirigakure was on high alert and prepared for battle.
At first, they thought that five thousand Konoha ninja soldiers were no big deal. They had almost three times the number of soldiers and the advantage of terrain, so they had a huge advantage over us.
But now... just hearing the name Konoha makes me nervous!
In the minds of these Hidden Mist Village members, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are second only to the Mizukage, a symbol of the village's strength.
However, as soon as the battle began, two of them were killed by Mochizuki Souji, and then a total of two thousand people were killed in action...
Such carnage was simply unimaginable, instantly dealing an enormous blow to the reputation of the Mist Hidden Taxi Company...
Even the Mizukage was looking at the Celestial Dragon flying above the Konoha ninja army with utmost seriousness.
With this all-out attack, is Mochizuki Souji planning a decisive battle?
So soon?
The Hidden Mist Village no longer dispersed; its more than 10,000 troops were personally overseen by the Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, along with numerous powerful ninja and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.
Even if Mochizuki Souji and that mysterious puppeteer are also Kage-level, it would only mean that their Kage-level combat power is evenly matched.
In other aspects, Konoha is at a great disadvantage, so how dare he launch a decisive battle directly?
Just as Mizukage was wondering.
The Konoha ninja army advanced slowly.
The dragon carrying Mochizuki Souji flapped its wings and flew sharply towards Kirigakure!
"This guy... just came over like that!?"
Mizukage stared wide-eyed, somewhat dazed.
Even if the two people and the dragon are both at the Kage level and the dragon is extremely strong, charging at them head-on like this would be tantamount to suicide!
Unbelievable!
Amidst his surprise and uncertainty, Mizukage suspected that it was a shadow clone, while the real body might be lurking in the shadows, ready to launch a surprise attack at any moment...
However, we still need to take down the one charging straight at us first.
Mizukage picked up his weapon, a long hooked staff decorated with green flowers, and said to Utakata beside her:
"The battle is about to begin.
Stay close to me and cooperate with me in battle, understand?"
Utakata nodded slightly, but his expression was somewhat reluctant.
Mei Terumi watched from behind with some concern.
Utakata is only 6 years old. Although he is a Jinchūriki, can he really unleash the power of a Tailed Beast?
Mizukage then shouted again:
"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist! Prepare for battle!"
"Summon a spirit beast!"
The Mizukage and two other elite Jonin simultaneously bit their fingers, pressed them to the ground, and activated the Summoning Jutsu formation.
"Summoning Technique: Yatagarasu!
"Hellcrab!"
Bang bang bang! Three puffs of white smoke exploded, revealing three enormous spirit beasts.
A large bird with a sharp beak, a large crab with a red shell, and a large dog with three heads.
Yatagarasu, Hell Crab, and Hellhound were all summoned beasts used by Pain's Animal Path in the original work.
Like the Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Cloud Village, Pain's Animal Path summoning beasts originally belonged to different places, and these three were now the summoning beasts of the Hidden Mist Village.
Mizukage was the first to jump onto the back of the Yatagarasu, soaring into the sky, and then looked at Souji with a confident smile.
"Surprised? You're not the only one who owns a flying summon!"
At the same time, his hands formed hand seals at a speed so fast that they left afterimages.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Tornado Formation Technique!"
The Mizukage unleashed a massive amount of chakra, activating a technique that simultaneously created ten enormous water tornadoes rising from the sea, enveloping Souji and the others!
