Chapter 136
The four-tailed beast chakra formed a layer of tissue muscle on the surface of the bones, and the skin was finally covered with red hair.
The whole person's body was countless times larger.
Lao Zi, the imperfect tailed beast Jinchūriki, actually went berserk. The violent power of the four-tailed beast began to attack everything around, regardless of friend or foe.
In its view, these were all its enemies, and they were all the culprits that caused it to be sealed. Whether it was Konoha or Iwagakure, they all deserved to die.
And this was Uchiha Itachi's purpose.
If he used Amaterasu, then the opponent only needed to remove the chakra coat to be exempt from continuous damage.
And what could be more destructive to the opponent's war potential than directly letting the war weapon as the tailed beast Jinchūriki go berserk?
Then, he used Amaterasu on the split dogs that gave Might Guy's real body a headache.
This time, the hellhound finally couldn't split anymore, but could only keep wailing in the black flames, and finally turned into white smoke and dissipated.
At this time, Jiraiya also completed the Sage Mode. He summoned Fukasaku and Shima Sage. Two small toads sat on his shoulders, and his body size doubled.
As Jiraiya mobilized the sage chakra and spit out a flame comparable to the ocean, the two toad sages on his shoulders spit out oil and a large amount of water on the left and right.
The three mixed together and caused a huge explosion. Even if the ninjas of the Hidden Rock Village used the combined earth escape defense ninjutsu, they could only barely protect most of the shock wave.
There were still many ninjas of the Hidden Rock Village who were caught in the mixed explosion and died in extremely tragic ways.
Uchiha Itachi, who was a little overburdened by the continuous use of Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, released Susanoo and came to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya glanced at this junior, who was exhausted by the continuous use of the power of the Mangekyō.
However, he simply activated the Sage Mode himself. The battle plan formulated by both sides before the war was also successful. The two completed a relay.
"Should we press on to win the battle?"
Itachi asked.
Despite many unexpected events and the fact that he met his former disciples here, this battle was basically successful.
With the four-tailed Jinchuriki of the other side going berserk, the fortress that had been in operation for quite some time, as well as the supplies stored in it, suffered heavy losses.
It can be said that this battle has been half successful, and the remaining half is to transfer these elite ninjas back to the Konoha Ninja Village to prepare to meet the forces of the Cloud Village and the Mist Village.
The current Rock Village is probably unable to launch a large attack in a short period of time, and the Sand Village will surely be greatly deterred and dare not act rashly.
Jiraiya wanted to observe the battle situation again, but he found a white bird flying in the sky, approaching here quickly.
What is that? Jiraiya narrowed his eyes, and immediately a member of the Hyuga clan used the Byakugan, observing and saying;
"There is someone on the bird's back. The identity of the person is Deidara, the ninja who used the explosive release technique in the intelligence. Because the explosive power he used was too strong, he was treated like a tailed beast and could not live in the village."
There seemed to be other ninjas on the white giant bird behind him. Is it another Jinchūriki of the Hidden Rock Village? Or a Tsuchikage?
Thinking of this, Jiraiya frowned and said;
"Our plan has basically succeeded. Now we are ready to retreat. Itachi, you and Kakashi lead the ninjas to retreat first, and I will cover the rear."Soon, as the Konoha ninjas left the battlefield one after another, Jiraiya, who was at the rear, begged the two toad sages on his shoulders to use the sound wave illusion.
This illusion is extremely effective in large-scale combat, and there is almost no upper limit to the target of attack.
Therefore, a large number of Iwagakure ninjas were hypnotized, or dizzy, and unable to pursue.
"Sound wave illusion? The enemy is not easy to deal with, huh."
Sitting on the flying bird, Deidara looked at the hypnotized ninjas and the rampaging Four-Tails below, and quickly came up with a plan to deal with it.
He reached into the backpack behind him and continued to swallow the clay. Soon, small clay birds flew out from his palms and quickly grew larger.
They flew to the ground in a row, emitting continuous explosions and sound waves that disrupted the music of the two immortals.
"It's not even music, it's terrible, come and see my art, huh!"
He shouted on the big bird in the sky. After Jiraiya achieved his goal, he led the rest of the people to retreat. They quickly entered the dense forest, so that Deidara did not dare to chase them rashly.......
This time, the short raid launched at dawn, involved more than 2,000 ninjas from Konoha.
The number of Iwagakure ninjas that were attacked by them was about 6,500.
The weakest Konoha ninja who participated in this operation was above the level of Chunin.
Although the number of Iwagakure ninjas was large, their average strength was only at the level of Chunin.
In this raid, Konoha lost more than 200 people permanently. Even if the remaining ninjas were injured, they left the battlefield with the support of medical ninjas and the assistance of their companions.
A considerable part of them were killed and injured by the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Lao Zi and the summoned beasts of the Animal Path Pain. Very few Konoha ninjas actually died in the battle with Iwagakure ninjas.
Most of the ninjas who fought with ordinary ninjas only had a few injuries on their bodies during the battle.
As long as the bleeding of such minor injuries is stopped, it does not even take a long time to recuperate. As long as the chakra is replenished, they can be put into another battle.
They caused nearly 2,000 unprepared Iwagakure ninjas to be killed or injured.
The casualty ratio was an exaggerated ten to one.
This number was due to the surprise attack, the gap between the high-end combat power of the two sides, and even the accidental injuries caused by the tailed beast jade and summoned beasts.
However, considering the total number, the number was not large either, because everyone was a ninja. Although their physical defense was not good, they all had high mobility and could dodge in various ways when attacked, including using substitution techniques and instant body techniques.
Except for the truly large-scale abilities, such as the Heavenly Damage Star, for ordinary ninjas, other means of attack can be avoided in various ways.
In addition, earth escape is also a very suitable ninjutsu for defense, so judging from the number of casualties alone, it is not a serious injury. What really made Iwagakure uncomfortable was that a large amount of supplies were destroyed and burned.
Those were the supplies that had been stored since the end of the Third World War, but they encountered a super-large-scale fire escape ninjutsu, and the dry rock desert nearby made it difficult to control the fire.
This made the already not very wealthy Iwagakure even worse.
