Chapter 460 Battle against Iwagakure
Meanwhile, the battlefield of Yanyin is located to the north.
The people of Iwagakure also encountered Fugaku's group.
Because of the Hyuga clan's reconnaissance, Iwagakure's intelligence was also suppressed.
They adopted a group-based approach, keeping the entire team tightly packed together to minimize the adverse effects of a lack of intelligence.
The two sides collided directly.
The ninjas of Iwagakure huddled together, forming an impenetrable unit.
On the other hand, the ninjas of Konoha Village adopted a completely opposite strategy, their formation was loose and they maintained a certain distance from each other.
When the two sides finally met, the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.
They didn't even bother to say a word of nonsense, and the battle broke out in the blink of an eye.
Two sharp, piercing whistling sounds rang out:
"Whoosh...whoosh..."
Two Tailed Beast Balls, containing terrifying energy, streaked across the sky like meteors, hurtling straight toward Konoha Village.
Despite the fact that the people of Konoha Village were scattered, they were still able to withstand such a powerful Tailed Beast Ball attack.
To avoid it unscathed is virtually an impossible task.
Although some Konoha ninjas successfully dodged the violent explosion caused by the Tailed Beast Ball from the front.
However, some unfortunate individuals were affected and suffered injuries to varying degrees.
The moment the fighting began, the overwhelming advantage of Iwagakure's group-style combat became immediately apparent.
They sprang into action, working in perfect unison to begin constructing sturdy defensive fortifications.
"Escape, earth flow city wall!"
Accompanied by unified shouts, twenty Iwagakure ninjas formed a large group and worked together to execute this ninjutsu.
In an instant, a deafening roar came from the ground.
Countless tall and thick stone walls sprang up from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
These crisscrossing stone walls fragmented the entire battlefield, turning it into a complex maze.
This greatly hindered Konoha Village's offensive.
Because they had to spend a lot of time and energy finding ways to break through these stone wall defenses.
Meanwhile, the Iwagakure ninja hiding behind the stone wall were not idle either.
They all opened their mouths and unleashed the Earth Release: Rock Cannon Technique.
Small pebbles were then ejected from their mouths.
These seemingly insignificant pebbles, once airborne, will expand and grow at an astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, they transformed into solid cannonballs as hard as iron, crashing down on Konoha Village with fierce momentum.
The people of Konoha are facing immense pressure, having to withstand the devastating power of the Tailed Beast Cannon and the formidable Earth Release ninjutsu.
Only then can they cross the towering, solid stone wall before them and engage in a direct confrontation with the Hidden Rock.
But there's no way around it; this is Iwagakure's consistent fighting style.
If Konoha doesn't stop them, these Iwagakure troops will surge forward like a tidal wave, heading straight for Konoha Village.
If Konoha didn't have the Tailed Beasts to rely on, then Iwagakure could have easily razed the entire village to the ground using the Tailed Beast Ball without even setting foot on Konoha's territory.
At this moment, Iwagakure has a massive force of five thousand men.
In contrast, Konoha only had a mere two thousand people.
Such a huge disparity in numbers undoubtedly puts Konoha in an extremely unfavorable position.
Therefore, Konoha urgently needs to find a way to break the deadlock and turn the tide.
Just then, an elite assault team led by Fugaku and Itachi stepped forward.
This team is like an extremely sharp dagger, led by the terrifying power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
They charged headlong into the direction of the Jinchūriki inside Iwagakure, unstoppable.
Ordinary Iwagakure ninjas were utterly helpless against this exceptionally strong squad, unable to stop their advance.
Moreover, there is also a member of the team who possesses the Byakugan ability.
No matter where the Jinchūriki hides, even in the most secluded corner, the members with Byakugan can quickly pinpoint the target's location.
Iwagakure quickly realized this thorny problem and, after some deliberation, decided to address it.
They decided not to let the two Jinchūriki hide any longer, so they simply made them show themselves.
The Four-Tails Jinchuriki—Roshi
And the Five-Tails Jinchuriki—Han
And so it appeared in everyone's sight.
Two loud roars were heard, and large amounts of chakra emanated from the bodies of Lao Zi and Han, instantly transforming them into a semi-tailed beast state.
At that moment, Fugaku and Itachi stepped forward without hesitation, each facing one of the Jinchuriki.
In an instant, the Iwagakure ninjas all around launched their attacks.
Countless throwing tools rained down on Fugaku and Itachi, while rocks formed by various Earth Release techniques also rained down from all directions.
However, Fugaku and Itachi showed no fear in the face of this overwhelming offensive.
"Susanoo!"
A purplish-black light and an orange-red light suddenly shone, and then two huge Susanoo instantly took shape.
They stood like two impregnable fortresses, easily blocking all attacks.
At the same time, Fugaku and Itachi unleashed powerful ocular energy from their eyes, like two torrents pressing down on Rōshi and Han.
Feeling this terrifying pressure, Lao Zi and Han suddenly felt a heaviness in their heads, as if a thousand-pound burden was pressing down on them.
However, unlike before, a chain-like talisman appeared on both Lao Zi and Han's bodies at the same time.
Moreover, these chains are breaking down at a visible rate over time.
Both Lao Zi and Han couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, but then they shook their heads violently, forcibly breaking free from the illusion.
Upon seeing this, Fugaku and Itachi couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on their faces.
After all, it's no easy feat to break free from their illusionary shackles so easily.
But soon, their expressions returned to calm, because they knew very well what was going on in their hearts.
If the opponent had no means of defending against Susanoo, there would be no way they could appear so openly in front of them.
Since illusions are no longer effective, we have no choice but to fight it head-on.
Han, freed from the illusion, roared defiantly:
"Boiling Release, Unparalleled Strength!"
At this moment, Han, who had partially transformed into a tailed beast, had bulging muscles all over his body, and his whole body was radiating surging steam, like a raging wild beast.
He roared, gathering all his strength and channeling that powerful energy into his legs.
Then he suddenly raised his foot and kicked towards Fugaku with overwhelming force.
