RoU Chapter 137: Rasa's strategies?
🕑 Added 2023-12-17 05:50:45 +0000 UTCKirigakure immediately launched an attack.
Terumi Mei took action personally, releasing Lava Release and Boil Release consecutively.
Hozuki Mangetsu, carrying the Kabutowari, Nuibari and Shibuki, also moved across the battlefield.
Mangetsu moves with deadly grace, wielding the three swords masterfully as the ninjas advance towards him. Using the Kabutowari, a massive sword with an ax on one end and a mace on the other, Mangetsu uses his weight to break through the ninjas' defenses, shattering the barriers they attempt to erect.
Meanwhile, the Nuibari, the sewing sword, shines with Mangetsu's every precise movement. He takes every opportunity to weave a deadly web among the ninjas, trapping them and rendering them defenseless before delivering accurate blows with the Kabutowari.
Suddenly, Mangetsu shifts focus from him to the Shibuki, an explosive sword. By skillfully manipulating it, he slams the ground creating shock waves that destabilize his opponents. Each impact of the Shibuki sends the ninja flying, breaking their ranks and wreaking havoc among them.
Mangetsu's deadly dance with the three swords is a display of skill and strategy. He combines the brute strength of the Kabutowari, the lethal precision of the Nuibari and the explosive impact of the Shibuki to take on his adversaries with a unique blend of technique and strength. With every move, he leaves his mark on the battlefield, making Konoha's ninjas recoil from his might.
He was the only one who could use all seven ninja swords, a unique genius!
Although most of the mystical swords of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist had been lost. 'Kiba is in the possession of Ringo Ameyuri, the Kubikiribocho is in the possession of Momochi Zabuza, the Samehada is in the possession of Hoshigaki Kisame, and the Hiramekarei was taken by Natsuo.' But Hozuki Mangetsu can still recover the remaining three swords with a scroll in his possession, and although he is not as strong as when he has the Hiramekarei, he still possesses Kage-level combat power!
Konoha also made a great effort, but even with a member of the Nara clan as temporary leader, who was second only to Shikaku in strategy, setting up several ambushes and using explosive tags as traps. Managing to sacrifice many Kiri ninjas, they were finally defeated step by step.
In the final analysis, there was a gap between the high-level combatants.
"Didn't Natsuo say he would be back soon? How come the enemy has already reached this point, but he still hasn't come?" The Nara clansman cursed but had to continue fighting and trying to minimize the speed of the front line's collapse.
The only thing he could do was constantly request reinforcements from Konoha.
However, it wasn't just the front against Kirigakure that had problems. The Root ninjas also leaked information to the front line against Kumogakure and Sunagakure.
Because these people were absolutely loyal to Danzo, after thinking he had died they went crazy. Which led them to leak information on all battle fronts.
The Root ninjas were very decisive, showing no mercy when it came to selling Konoha's information.
This was even more impactful than when Orochimaru defected, because although Orochimaru also targeted Konoha in some aspects, he didn't sell information to all of Konoha's enemy countries like they did.
Or rather, this was actually the legacy left by Danzo. Under Danzo's leadership, Root prioritized its own interests. For the sake of Root's interests, they had betrayed Konoha's own people more than once or twice.
But previously, Danzo was still in charge. Besides his actions to become Hokage himself, he did prioritize Konoha's interests and wouldn't allow others to erode Konoha.
However, these Root ninjas did not have the same loyalty and love for the village.
Danzo is willing to sacrifice Konoha's ninjas for their own good to become Hokage, so why can't they betray the village to avenge Danzo? Plus Tsunade started hunting them so they needed chaos to escape the chase.
After receiving the information from the Root ninjas, the Kumo ninjas were momentarily stunned.
"What?! Uchiha Natsuo is actually a Kage-level expert? He's really good at hiding!" The Fourth Raikage was dumbfounded.
The others also widened their eyes, with an expression of disbelief.
"What should we do about Samui's mission? With someone of that level in the Uchiha clan, how can we obtain their bloodline?" The Fourth Raikage became somewhat irritable.
He had originally planned to send Samui undercover to the Uchiha clan, gather information on his and Konoha's defenses. They would then launch a direct attack, using a team of Elite Jōnin to capture Uchiha Natsuo and bring him back to Kumogakure.
With Uchiha Natsuo's ability to have children, they could rebuild the Uchiha clan within Kumogakure. But now that Natsuo's strength has been exposed... How can her mission be completed?
"Raikage-sama, we don't have time to think about these things now." Elite Jonin C said: "The Root ninjas have already provided us with information about the Konoha forces we are facing. This is a great opportunity!"
"Please make a decision, Raikage-sama!"
The others immediately spoke up: "Please make a decision, Raikage-sama!"
This is simply the best time to attack!
"I understand." The Fourth Raikage took a deep breath.
And then immediately increased the intensity of the attack, pressing forward with his army.
Although Jiraiya's strength was not weak, and his forces were the strongest among the three major fronts, they had lost the information and suffered consecutive defeats.
On the other hand, Sunagakure was very mysterious. They also got information from the Root ninjas, but strangely, there was no change in their behavior.
After receiving the report from the Root ninjas, Sunagakure simply received the information and did nothing else, as if the information was somewhat irrelevant. Well, you can't say that they haven't made any moves.
While they did not make any strategic arrangements, they suddenly gathered many masters from the Land of Wind. Then they made a big fuss so Temari would learn etiquette, history, how to behave properly in front of a large crowd, how to manage a large estate, arts and music.
Temari was confused. 'Clearly, we are at war, and I can accept practicing some ninjutsu. But what kind of training is this?'
However, when the Suna ninjas heard this news, their morale rose.
"No wonder he is the Fourth Kazekage! He has the victory in his hands!"
"Yes, he even has time to educate his own children. This is proof that our chances of winning are extremely high!"
"That's right! The Kazekage has already seen the dawn of victory, whether it's Konoha, Kumo, or Kiri, all under his calculations!"
The high-level officials of other ninja villages were also shocked when they learned this information.
"Kazekage Rasa suddenly made a big fuss about educating his own children. Could it be to boost the morale of the Suna ninjas?"
"It seems so. Look at how ordinary Suna ninjas are excited, and their morale is rising..."
"Rasa is so calculating!"
"It looks like he's going to make a decisive move! We need to be on guard!"
Rasa: "...?"
'I just found out that Natsuo seems to be 'under house arrest' in Konoha and is being treated unfairly. I want to increase my bargaining power and see if I can bring Natsuo back to Sunagakure.... I have a damn plan...'
But Rasa's ability to strategize, which allows him to achieve maximum benefits with minimal sacrifices, has already made many ninjas wary.
