Chapter 137
At the same time, the runaway 4-tailed Jinchūriki continued to cause damage to the remaining supplies. The death toll continued to increase, and the rescue work could not be carried out.
This battle seemed to end with Konoha's complete victory.
The Konoha ninjas who returned to the Land of Fire were all in high spirits because of the success of this unexpected surprise attack.
In their view, as long as they returned to Konoha and concentrated their forces to fight a decisive battle with the Hidden Cloud Village, their victory in this Ninja World War would be basically locked.
Will things really develop like this?......
On the chaotic front line, in a hidden space far behind the Animal Path Pein, in the mouth of a hidden chameleon, there was Hidan who had fully prepared a certain type of ninjutsu.
This was one of their tactics. Since the Akatsuki organization hoped that Konoha and Iwagakure would both suffer losses, how could they let the remaining Konoha ninjas retreat safely.
Those Iwagakure ninjas were asked to gather the blood-stained weapons in their hands. Under the command of their superiors, they could only do it without knowing the reason.
Soon bottles of blood were gathered.
Hidan drew a curse circle with his own blood.
He looked at the blood that Konan sent to him and laughed with his mouth wide open;
"The offerings to our Lord will increase! Hahahaha!"
Boom!
There was a sudden tremor in the distance, making the two of them a little unsteady.
Konan looked at the direction where the tremor came from and said nothing.
But Hidan asked;
"What's going on? Are the enemies attacking again?"
"No."
Xiaonan shook his head and said;
"It seems that the runaway 4-tailed Jinchuriki has not been successfully sealed. These Iwagakure ninjas seem to be in a lot of trouble."
"Jinchūriki?" Feiduan's eyes darkened.
"Why don't we take action now? Isn't that our goal?"
"It's not time yet. We can easily capture a Jinchūriki of this level when the time comes. There's no need to alert the enemy now."
Konan said, pointing to the dozen bottles handed to Hidan, and said;
"This is the mission the organization has assigned to you. This is the first batch, and there will be several more batches of blood delivered to you in the future."
Fei Duan's eyes were shining with excitement.
"Great, are there more sacrifices to the evil god than these?"
Yes, this is the hidden trump card of the Akatsuki organization.
The situation caused by the battle just now was just their deliberate act.
It was to stab Konoha hard when they thought they had won.
The conditions for launching the blood curse of Feiduan Shisi naturally have their own set of rules. This is also his personal privacy. According to the practice of the Akatsuki organization, as a leader, he cannot pry into the secrets of his own members.
Therefore, Konan only provided the medium needed for the curse.
In her vague understanding, Feiduan's curse seems to be related to the distance, the number of targets, and the strength of the chakra of the cursed.
The blood was collected from the ninja tools of the Iwagakure ninjas after asking Feiduan about the feasibility in advance.
They were mixed together in array. If it was a ninja of mediocre strength, then Feiduan would not be able to defeat him. Duan can directly activate his ability and curse several targets at a time.
Considering the distance between the two sides, those Konoha ninjas may think they have won, but they don’t know where the attack that killed them came from until they were about to die.
After activating the curse, Hidan’s black and white body trembled with excitement, and he tasted a mixture of Konoha ninja blood with the tip of his tongue.
Suddenly, a black spear was pierced directly into his heart.
Dozens of miles away, five Konoha ninjas who were running in front, behind, left and right of the team suddenly froze.
They almost had blood flowing out of the corners of their mouths at the same time.
Then more blood flowed out from under the intact Konoha ninja vests, which was a sign that the heart was directly pierced.
As the blood gushed out, they fell to the ground instantly, and completely lost their lives amid the shocked screams of their companions.
""Enemy attack alert!"
With a series of sharp shouts.
Although the Konoha ninjas didn't understand the situation, they still mechanically followed the order and changed the team from a high-speed marching posture to an offensive and defensive formation in an instant.
Not to mention that most of them didn't understand what was happening, even the powerful Jiraiya and Uchiha Itachi didn't notice anything.
Several members of the Hyuga clan made hand seals and opened their Byakugan, exerting their insight to the extreme, but they still didn't find anything. They only saw a series of startled crows and birds circling in the forest.
"What's going on?"
After a while, the Konoha ninjas who stopped moving at high speed were unable to find any suspicious direction of the attack.
Suddenly, several screams were heard again.
Several Konoha ninjas in the team fell down holding their hearts. There were angry shouts for their companions, but they could only rage helplessly. They had no idea where the attack came from.
"Bastard!"
Jiraiya asked loudly with bloodshot eyes;
"What's going on? Where are the medical ninjas? Go check their wounds!"
As screams rang out, several more Konoha ninjas fell for no reason, causing a ripple of commotion around them.
Even though the Hyuga clan ninjas used their Byakugan to the fullest, they were unable to find out where the attack came from.
A medical ninja took off the vest of a dead Konoha ninja with trembling hands, and suddenly found a hole that went through the heart.
"This is impossible?"
His hands, which should have been steady, were shaking violently.
There was no change in his outer clothing.
How could this be possible?
What kind of attack caused it?
Was it a sudden wound? Or some kind of delayed triggering secret technique?
He seemed to have noticed something, and turned over the limbs and arms of the corpse, and then rushed to the other corpse.
Seeing him do this, Jiraiya also shouted loudly;
"Gather all the bodies together. They may have been hit by some pre-arranged curse-like ninjutsu! We need to find out the triggering conditions of the attack!"
After a burst of noise in the crowd, the bodies were gathered together.
During this period, the number of bodies increased by more than a dozen. In a short period of time, more than 50 bodies appeared. Without exception, they did not have any major damage on their clothes, but all of them had fatal wounds in key parts such as the heart.
