Chapter 295 Another Expedition
Hidden Mist Village.
The Third Mizukage gritted his teeth and uttered words that could shake the entire Hidden Mist Village.
This is precisely because he would never admit to saying this outside of Master Yuan's door.
"Then let them fight. Send all the loudest ones to the front lines. Once enough people die, it will quiet down."
Yuan Shi's voice wasn't loud, but it was incredibly bloodthirsty. In his eyes, human lives were like ants on the roadside; even if he walked by unintentionally, he could crush a whole bunch of them.
The Third Mizukage was delighted, as this was exactly what he wanted to do. However, the matter was of great importance, so he had to discuss it with Master Yuan and obtain his support.
"That's the same idea of mine. I plan to lead the team myself in this battle and make use of these clan ninjas to bring enough benefits to the village no matter what."
However, this leaves the village without anyone in charge. I hope Elder Yuan can step in and help me oversee the rear.
The Mizukage spoke earnestly, and he also had expectations for this battle. He had hastily taken over at the end of the first battle, when his foundation was unstable and the Hidden Mist Village was in constant turmoil.
During World War II, he suppressed the pro-war faction in the village and quietly led Kirigakure to develop.
Now that the third war has arrived, it should be the time for the Hidden Mist Village to make its voice heard, but unexpectedly, it has suffered a setback and been given a rude awakening.
The village is in an uproar, and he can take this opportunity to go to the front line and lead the Mist Ninja to take a bite out of Konoha, thus winning ample resources for the future development of the Mist Village.
"Third Hokage, I have no problem guarding the village for you, but you must also be careful. To be able to defeat the Hidden Mist forces in such a short time and kill Kaguya Kuma and Hozuki Seigetsu, Konoha is not to be underestimated. Don't let yourself be caught off guard and suffer a setback."
Master Yuan's words were wise and experienced. Over the years, he had seen all kinds of ninjas, including Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, whom he had met when he was young.
It was because of this that he learned that there were special ninjas in the ninja world who could not only form an army on their own, but also change the course of a battle with ease.
If you encounter a ninja like that, you can only pray that you are fast enough to escape their pursuit.
However, the Third Mizukage clearly did not take Yuan Shi's words to heart. He only listened to the first half of Yuan Shi's words, and the second half went in one ear and out the other.
Soon, the entire Hidden Mist Village was mobilized. The three major clans, along with the Mizukage's guard, formed another thousand-strong force in a short time, and marched towards the front lines in a grand procession.
Such a large commotion by Kirigakure naturally could not be kept secret from Konoha's intelligence system, and the information about Kirigakure's reinforcements quickly reached Tsunade.
"Everyone, as you all know the situation, please share your thoughts."
Tsunade put down the intelligence report she was holding; she had just personally read the report to everyone.
Will reinforcements come from the village?
"At least not for now. You are all aware of the situation in the villages when you set out on your expedition. If there were still people there, the various families wouldn't have been asked to send people."
These words completely dashed the hopes of those waiting for support from the village, and the entire camp became somewhat dejected.
"We don't have reinforcements, but surely we have supplies. We've already used up more than half of our medical and combat supplies, and the village's resupply hasn't caught up yet."
"Don't worry about that, everyone. The supplies should arrive tomorrow. The village has no shortage of supplies." The speaker was Nara Kaoru, who is now the camp's logistics manager.
"Taiichi, have you found Kirigakure's current camp?"
Finally, a positive question was asked. Tai looked at the person who asked the question and it turned out to be Hyuga Hiashi. It was rare for this guy to be so aggressive.
"It was found yesterday, but it's quite far from the coastline, a full 60 kilometers away."
"Are there any islands nearby where we can rest and recuperate temporarily?"
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that Hiashi wanted to deliver another blow to Kirigakure before their reinforcements arrived, thus weakening Kirigakure's troop advantage once again.
This was indeed a good idea, and everyone turned their attention to Taiyi, hoping to get some good news from him.
pity----
Taiyi scratched his head helplessly: "They were very particular about the islands they chose; the nearest one is 50 kilometers away."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh. A distance of 50 kilometers is nothing on land, but at sea it is an insurmountable barrier.
Running 50 kilometers on water would deplete most of an elite Chunin's chakra, leaving them with virtually no fighting power.
At this moment, Tsunade, who was at the head of the table, spoke up: "Taiichi, can your Ice Release create a floating ice that can accommodate a thousand people to rest?"
'
These words immediately gave hope to those who had just been disappointed, and everyone's eyes turned to Taiyi, waiting for his answer.
Taiyi paused, his hand stilling as he scratched his head, his eyes lighting up. How could he not have thought of that?
If there are 1000 people, and each person occupies 1 square meter, then a single circular ice floe with a radius of 20 meters would suffice.
The area isn't actually that big; it's just a matter of consuming more chakra.
With the chakra stored in the Yin Seal as a base, Taiichi didn't care about this consumption.
"This is really not a problem. How come I didn't think of that before? As expected of the Commander, your thinking is so broad!"
""
Taiyi pretended to suddenly understand, and didn't forget to give Tsunade a thumbs up. At this moment, he was like Might Guy, only lacking a big white tooth.
The atmosphere in the tent was also stirred by Taiyi's answer and his exaggerated performance. If this battle could be completed before the arrival of the Kirigakure reinforcements, the subsequent battle would be much easier.
"Alright, let's not delay." Tsunade stood up, waved her hand, and gave the order to everyone: "Assemble 1000 ninjas. We'll depart after lunch. Fugaku and Hiashi will lead the team again. I hope you return victorious."
"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.
The 1000 ninjas quickly assembled, and after a hearty meal, they set off for the Hidden Mist Camp.
On the vast ocean, even a group of 1000 people appears so small, like sesame seeds on a blue tablecloth, so inconspicuous.
Taiichi ran at the front of the group, trying to control his speed to reduce the chakra consumption of the troops behind him.
Even so, when they were still more than ten kilometers away from the target island, some ninjas in the team began to run out of energy.
Seeing this, Taiyi stopped and halted, and the entire group stopped as well.
Fugaku stepped forward to Taichi's side. "Are you going to rest here?"
Tai nodded and turned to look at some of the ninjas in the group. "Let's stop here. Everyone's chakra is already greatly depleted. If we continue, it will take a long time to recover."
After saying that, Taiyi instantly appeared fifty meters in front of the group, his chakra surging around him, and he began to form hand seals.
Ice Release: Ice Crystal Earth.
A chilling aura, visible to the naked eye, suddenly appeared around Taiyi and rapidly spread outwards from him.
The seawater beneath his feet began to crystallize first, and in the blink of an eye, the sea within a 10-meter radius of him froze.
As chakra continued to be poured in, the area frozen continued to expand. Taiyi continued to increase his power, and after a dozen seconds, the small ice island finally became a round island with a radius of 20 meters.
"Alright, everyone can come up now. Take a break."
Taiyi withdrew his hand from the ice and shouted to the Konoha ninja not far away.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Many people have seen Taiyi use Ice Release, and every time the scene is filled with killing intent and chills to the bone.
Either you're bombarded with icicles, or the entire earth turns into a frozen hell.
Never before has it been like today, where, although there is a chill in the air, the seawater has simply frozen into an iceberg.
When everyone stepped onto the ice, they all involuntarily shivered. After all, it was created by ice magic, and even if it was gentle, its cold nature could not be reduced much.
Many Chunin, having only been on the island for a short time, began rubbing their hands together, clearly indicating they were quite cold.
However, there were also some curious individuals who, from the moment they arrived on the island, began touching and looking around, as if trying to find out how this small island created by ice magic was different from ordinary Iceland.
Several taijutsu-type ninjas couldn't resist the urge to court death and launched a flying kick imbued with chakra onto the ice. However, it only created a small crater, even worse than kicking into the ground.
However, his action terrified the ninjas around him.
"Asuka, you bastard, can't you just behave yourself? If you kick the ice and crack it, I'll teach you a lesson."
"Ah, sorry, sorry! I just wanted to test the ice's strength, it wasn't intentional, Captain!"
In the distance, Taiyi and the other two smiled slightly as they witnessed this scene.
"Aren't you going to stop it? What if it gets kicked to pieces?" Fugaku Uchiha joked from the side.
Taiyi rolled his eyes at him; he didn't believe this guy couldn't see the thickness of this iceberg.
But seeing the worried expressions on the faces of the many ninjas around him, he decided to explain the situation to them.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that this ice layer is less than half a meter thick on the surface. It's nearly two meters thick underneath, and I'm constantly reinforcing it. Even a Jonin might not be able to break through it with just taijutsu, let alone a Chunin."
It would have been better if they hadn't explained it. Once it was explained, even a few Jonin couldn't help but kick it a couple of times. Luckily, they knew their limits and didn't use ninjutsu.
"Alright, what kind of behavior is this? We're here to fight, not for a vacation. Get back to health and we'll head straight for the Mist Camp in an hour."
Hiashi Hyuga couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to reprimand him. As the commander of this battle, he still held considerable authority.
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, some eating soldier pills, others closing their eyes to rest, and began to seize the time to recover their chakra.
"Taiyi, won't we be swept away by the waves if we just drift on the sea like this?"
After disciplining those restless ninjas, Hiashi went to Taiichi's side and inquired about the situation in Iceland.
Just then, Fugaku Uchiha happened to be walking around after his inspection tour and overheard Hiashi's question.
"Clan Chief Hyuga, there's no need to worry. I just looked at the edge of Iceland. The entire island is surrounded by a current of water, so it seems that the island's movements are controlled by Taiichi."
With Fugaku's prompting, Hiashi realized that Taiichi hadn't really taken any action so far.
Upon opening his Byakugan, Taiichi saw that chakra was being continuously channeled from the soles of his feet into the ice island beneath him.
Looking further into the distance, this chakra directly affects the water flow around Iceland, firmly fixing Iceland in its current position.
"As expected of Taiichi, there's probably no one else in Konoha who can control chakra like that."
The Japanese player sincerely praised him, saying that this was not flattery but genuine admiration.
Taiyi smiled and waved his hand, then changed the subject, asking, "Two clan leaders, what are your plans for attacking the Mist Hidden Camp later?"
Fugaku and Hiashi exchanged a glance, both puzzled. They looked at Taichi, and Hiashi asked, "It's daytime now, and we're on the open sea, so a sneak attack is definitely out of the question. We have no choice but to launch a direct assault. But Taichi, do you have any ideas?"
Taiyi's lips curled into a sinister smile. "You two may not know, but my mastery of water-style techniques is quite strong."
Fugaku and Hiashi were still completely bewildered, not understanding what Taiichi was trying to say.
Taiyi laughed heartily upon seeing this, "Since you two don't have a good strategy, why don't you listen to my arrangement? I dare not say anything else, but it's no problem to completely disable the defensive barrier of the Hidden Mist Village."
Their eyes lit up, and they immediately became happy.
They originally planned to launch a full-scale attack, but even if they were stronger than the Hidden Mist Village, attacking a well-defended camp would inevitably result in heavy losses.
Now that Taiyi has said this, how could they not be tempted, since a large part of the group consists of their own people?
An hour passed quickly.
The Konoha ninja, now fully recovered, are ready to go.
As Taiyi raised his hand and waved, everyone immediately sprang into action, their synchronized movements causing the entire Icelandic island to sink.
Like arrows released from a bow, the group sped towards the island where the Hidden Mist was located.
A distance of a dozen kilometers is not far for a ninja.
When the small island could be faintly seen on the horizon, Taiyi raised his fist, and the entire team immediately stopped.
Fugaku and Hiashi approached, still full of doubts, but they didn't ask any questions when they saw Taiichi looking eager.
"Did you watch your performance?"
Fugaku was actually closer to Taichi, and he couldn't resist making a joke.
"Just you wait and see!"
Taiyi was also full of confidence. He first broke the Yin seal, and the winding and varied patterns spread from his forehead to his face, neck, and arms.
The surging chakra that had overflowed was instantly calmed back into Taiichi's body.
He leaped forward a few steps, running a hundred meters, and began to form hand seals, but his speed was not fast, and he tried to mobilize more chakra with each seal.
Even so, the printing was completed in just two seconds.
His hands, as if bearing a thousand pounds of pressure, slammed heavily onto the sea.
Water Escape·Big waterfall water rushes into the waves.
The seawater surged beneath his feet, first gently rolling, then quickly developing into a fountain, growing larger and larger until it resembled a volcanic eruption.
Taiyi stood at the crater of the volcano, and the seawater pushed him all the way up into the sky.
10 m.
20 m.
50 m.
100 m.
At this moment, the surge had become a colossal object hundreds of meters high, yet Taiyi was still exerting his power, and the surge continued to extend to both sides under the constraint of chakra.
When the wave reached the limit of Taiyi's control in both height and width, he suddenly added one last bit of force, pushing the giant wave horizontally towards the island.
