Yamanaka Inoichi stared at the scene in shock, his eyes wide, and the Konoha shinobi behind him were equally stunned, their mouths agape enough to fit an orange.
Incredible!
Absolutely incredible!
The sudden appearance of the blue electric grid, perfectly timed to block the charging Kumogakure forces, left them with no time to evade. They were helplessly electrocuted, their flesh and blood splattering everywhere.
Only then did Yamanaka Inoichi understand what Namikaze Mirai had been waiting for.
He was waiting for the Kumogakure shinobi to deliver themselves to their deaths!
A chill ran down his spine, and his respect for Namikaze Mirai increased significantly.
“Inoichi, the times have changed.”
Namikaze Mirai glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.
In a calm voice, he said, “If you continue to view the world through the lens of the past, failing to adapt to the evolving times, you’ll only be left behind.”
Yamanaka Inoichi took a deep breath.
He understood that while Namikaze Mirai appeared to be speaking about this battle, he was actually alluding to Konoha’s overall situation.
A decision had to be made.
Should the Ino-Shika-Cho trio continue to serve as subordinates to the Sarutobi, or…
Embrace a new era?
Yamanaka Inoichi felt a heavy weight on his heart.
He knew that after this war, a storm would sweep through Konoha…
As Yamanaka Inoichi fell into deep thought, the Kumogakure commander Dodai finally reacted, letting out a panicked scream.
“Stop the charge!!”
A wave of fear spread through the Kumogakure forces. The sudden appearance of the high-voltage grid had killed at least a hundred shinobi at the forefront, staining the plain with blood.
Their morale took a severe hit.
The large Kumogakure force came to a hesitant halt before the electric grid, unsure of how to proceed.
Dodai, watching from the rear, ground his teeth in frustration.
He thought he had taken Namikaze Mirai seriously enough and that the renewed offensive would redeem their previous disgrace.
But just as the battle began, they suffered such a heavy blow.
“Destroy the obstacle!”
Dodai commanded.
“Lightning Release: Earth Walk!”
“Earth Release: Earth Rend Palm!”
Following the orders, Kumogakure shinobi unleashed a variety of jutsu to attack the electric grid.
But as the Kumogakure shinobi destroyed the grid, Namikaze Mirai’s voice spread across the battlefield.
“Charge!”
The Konoha shinobi, who had been holding back, finally found an outlet for their pent-up energy. With deafening roars, they charged at the Kumogakure forces.
“Attack!”
“Kill!”
Busy dismantling the electric grid, the Kumogakure forces were caught off guard and couldn’t organize an effective counterattack.
Many Kumogakure shinobi were cut down by the charging Konoha shinobi.
The entire Kumogakure force fell into chaos in an instant.
The timing of Konoha’s charge was perfect!
It was like a sharp blade plunging into the Kumogakure forces!
The tide of the battle began to turn.
Every moment saw numerous Kumogakure shinobi being slain by Konoha’s forces.
Dodai, watching from the rear, gritted his teeth.
Namikaze Mirai’s psychological tactics were too cunning.
The timing of the electric grid and Konoha’s charge were nearly flawless.
These two heavy blows severely dampened the Kumogakure forces’ morale.
Organizing an effective counterattack now was extremely difficult.
However…
A faint, unnoticed smile appeared in Dodai’s eyes.
The key to this war didn’t lie with these ordinary shinobi.
“By my calculations, it should be about time.”
As he smiled, the Konoha forces, who had just gained the upper hand, suddenly heard several miserable screams.
The Konoha shinobi around them looked on in shock. Bathed in a ghostly blue flame, Yugito Nii extended her ten razor-sharp claws, darting around the battlefield like an agile cat.
With each swift move, her sharp claws easily pierced the chests of shinobi, their organs and blood spraying like high-pressure jets, showering the plain.
In this rain of blood, Yugito Nii’s every leap claimed the life of a Konoha shinobi.
Elegant and deadly!
“Damn it! It’s Yugito Nii, the Jinchuriki of Kumogakure!”
“What was the Intelligence Division doing? This is trouble!”
Konoha shinobi felt a chill in their hearts, gritting their teeth in frustration.
Yugito Nii was the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails and a perfect Jinchuriki at that.
She could perfectly wield the power of her tailed beast!
There was no way they could withstand her alone.
In a short time, Yugito Nii had already killed at least ten Konoha shinobi.
Dodai watched her rampage with a faint smile.
As expected of Yugito Nii.
The ultimate weapon of Kumogakure.
Just by using the Two-Tails’ chakra, she achieved such results.
The scales of victory began to tilt in their favor.
On Konoha’s side, Yamanaka Inoichi looked at Namikaze Mirai.
“Mirai, are you going to step in?”
With a Jinchuriki on the field, Namikaze Mirai might be their only hope to counter her.
“No rush.”
Namikaze Mirai’s response was once again just two words.
Yamanaka Inoichi frowned. Seeing Namikaze Mirai’s calm demeanor, did he have another plan?
Quickly, Yamanaka Inoichi was startled by excited shouts from the Konoha forces.
Turning his head, he was left speechless.
He saw a large group of Uchiha shinobi activating their crimson Sharingan, charging at Yugito Nii like wolves spotting a lamb.
“For the glory of the Uchiha!”
“Attack!”
Yugito Nii, who had been attacking the Konoha shinobi, suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She turned, only to be met with over a hundred Uchiha, eyes red, charging at her with crazed looks, treating her as a precious target!
“Where did they come from?!”
Seeing so many Uchiha targeting her, Yugito Nii swallowed hard, not daring to underestimate them, and ran!
Facing over a hundred frenzied Uchiha with red eyes, even the Raikage would choose to flee.
Various Fire Release jutsu, shuriken, and kunai flew at her like mad.
Just moments ago, Yugito Nii had been dominating the battlefield. Now, she was fleeing in all directions, looking extremely disheveled.
Even the Kumogakure shinobi in her path were unfortunate victims, attacked by the crazed Uchiha, leaving nothing behind.
Breathing heavily, the Uchiha pursued relentlessly.
After all, the value of a Jinchuriki was immense.
If they could take down this Jinchuriki, it would prove the Uchiha’s strength, wouldn’t it?
This thought burned brightly in the hearts of the Uchiha.
Not far away, Namikaze Mirai’s old comrades, including Shiranui Genma and Biburaidou, saw this and felt a strong urge to compete.
“We can’t lose to those Uchiha!”
“Charge! We must not disappoint Lord Mirai!”
Thus, Namikaze Mirai’s former subordinates also charged at the Kumogakure shinobi with fervor.
The tide of the battle turned instantly.
Dodai, watching from the rear, was left speechless.
He suddenly felt that the direction of this war had become very strange…
