Chapter 269

The western part of the Land of Fire.

Confederate Fifth Regiment Camp.

Perhaps it was caused by psychological effects. After nightfall, Mifune suddenly sensed a chilly breath from the air, and his palms began to subconsciously clenched the samurai sword at his waist.

Even so, this chilly aura still lingered, holding the weapon in hand, Mifune couldn't feel the slightest sense of security.

The samurai's intuition told him that it was because of the fierce fighting on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain that the skies of neighboring countries were also painted with this ominous color.

The moon is bright and clear, the wind is light and the clouds are calm, but the sky Mifune sees is always covered with a layer of haze and a touch of scarlet, as if the moon has been stained with blood and has begun to turn red.

Standing outside the conference room tent, Mifune raised his head, narrowed his eyes facing the moonlight slightly, and held the handle of the samurai sword with greater strength, trying to dispel the restlessness and anxiety in his heart in this way.

The sound near the camp was relatively noisy, and it was the sound of troops gathering. Ten minutes ago, Shinobi Konohayama, the captain of the intelligence force at the headquarters of the Allied Army, conveyed the combat order of the staff to the various regiments of the Allied Army.

The covenant with the kingdom of ghosts has been torn, and the alliance army and the kingdom of ghosts are no longer an alliance, and they can attack at will.

As one of the main forces of the Alliance Army, the Fifth Wing has been guarding the western part of the Fire Nation since the beginning of the war, and occasionally participated in the battle, so the loss is very small, and it still retains most of its troops. Straight into the country of the rain's sharp blade. A total of more than 20,000 people, a total of 150 squadrons, most of which are combat squadrons, a small number of medical squadrons and reconnaissance squadrons, and air force squadrons that focus on air combat.

In addition, among them, there are thousands of warriors from the Iron Kingdom, accounting for about one-sixth of the fifth regiment.

If these thousands of warriors are excluded, the number of the Fifth Wing will not exceed 20,000. And this is exactly where Mifune hesitated.

The reason why he participated in this battle on behalf of the Iron Country was not because he wanted to fight against the Oni Country, but because of the existence of Akatsuki and Juowei, he had no choice but to join forces with the Alliance Army. The main purpose is also to destroy Akatsuki and assist the Alliance Army in recovering the Tailed Beast, so as to prevent the world from being manipulated by such techniques as Infinite Tsukiyomi.

Now that the alliance army has broken with the kingdom of ghosts, it means that the battle against Akatsuki has come to an end, and it is no longer a threat. As the assisting party, the country of iron should retreat bravely at this time, evacuate the ninja battlefield, and return to the daimyo of the country of iron to return. However, is this really the case?

Will the Confederates let him go?

Thousands of warriors, plus him as a warrior general, are already a force that is not weak.

Even those ninja villages from small countries were coerced, and there were also ninja villages from neutral countries. As a samurai group from a neutral country of iron, what should they do?

Unlike those ninjas from small and weak countries, the Iron Country has a strong military force, and there is enough room for manipulation in terms of selection.

Therefore, how to choose now has become a difficult problem in Mifune's mind.

As the departure time approached, he was still thinking about this question.

To leave, or to continue to fight?

Just when Mifune was lost in thought, footsteps came from behind.

"In the corner?"

"It's me, Mifune-sama."

Rijiao, a tall samurai, approached and bowed slightly to Mifune.

He served as the squadron leader in the Fifth Regiment, replacing Mifune, and was responsible for mediating disputes among ninjas in the fifth Regiment of the Alliance Army, including those bounty hunters who had many grievances and entanglements.

"Have all the troops assembled?"

"Yes, due to the battle orders issued by the headquarters, the ninjas of the villages have finally let go of their prejudices for the time being. At present, most of the squadrons have been assembled, and a few are still being adjusted, but I think it will take a while before they can set off. The Land of Rain." Li Jiao replied flatly.

This is the strategy formulated by the Alliance Army from the very beginning. The first to fourth regiments will check and balance the main forces of the Oni Land, and as the fifth regiment, they will go to the Land of Rain at the moment war is declared to serve the Five Kages. Help out.

In addition, the bounty hunters who were invited here also had the same reason. The next place they were going to was the Land of Rain, where they entered the core battlefield and accepted the command of Five Kages.

Bai Jue and the Dragon Beast Legion standing in front of them disappeared for some reason, so the road before them was smooth.

Before entering the core battlefield, presumably there will be no twists and turns.

but

Thinking of something, Rijiao looked at the back of Mifune. His upright figure was like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed. Although he restrained himself as much as possible, there was also a sharp breath emanating from his torso, which made people's skin slightly Stinging.

"In that case, let's call all the squadron leaders who can take charge. I have something to announce."

Mifune's face was calm. After saying this, he stared at the dark clouds in the western sky and remained silent without saying a word.

"yes."

Li Jiao didn't hesitate, went down quickly, and immediately summoned the squadron leaders who were in charge.

Less than two minutes later, a dozen or so elite jounin from the villages of Konoha, Sayin, and Yunyin came to meet here in accordance with Mifune's summoning order.

Compared with the rest of the squadron leaders, they are stronger in their own strength and have enough experience in commanding how to effectively command troops to fight.

In the Fifth Alliance, their right to speak is roughly equivalent to that of Lijiao, second only to San Chuan, the captain of the Fifth Alliance.

"Lieutenant Captain, we are about to leave soon. May I ask what is the reason for calling us here at this time?"

A squadron leader from Yunyin, Shangren, couldn't bear it first, looked at Mifune, and asked Mifune the purpose of issuing the summoning order.

After Li Jiao brought them, he took the initiative to stand by Mifune's side, protecting them personally.

Later, there was also a group of armored warriors, about dozens of them, all of whom were elite warriors from the Iron Kingdom. Their superb sword skills alone were enough to suppress the Chunin, and a small number of them could even compete with the Jounin. The elite of the entire country of iron, the foundation of the country. "Yeah, if it's for mediating disputes, I personally don't think it's necessary, and we don't have time to waste on it."

Konoha's squadron leader Jonin answered first.

The order of the Alliance Army Headquarters has been clearly issued to each of their squadron leaders.

The next battle plan is very important. Although the ninjas in each village do not like each other, it is only after they are free. At this time, it is impossible to abandon the battle plan of the headquarters because of this friction. regardless of.

These squadron leaders still understand the priority of the matter.

Moreover, it is not the upper ninja at the level of the squadron leader that has conflicts, but most of them are the middle nin and lower ninjas of various villages. When there is friction and conflict, these squadron leaders will never participate in it for the sake of the overall situation, and even actively cooperate. Samurai of the Iron Kingdom, put an end to internal strife. And this is also the order that Wuying secretly gave them at the beginning of the war, at least not to lose the chain at a critical moment.

"Don't worry, the old man didn't call you here specially for these things, but..."

Mifune paused in his words and glanced at these people.

"But what, Your Excellency, Captain?"

Everyone was puzzled by Mifune's attitude and couldn't wait to ask.

Mifune was silent for a while, and closed his eyes, as if he was brewing something. After a while, he opened his eyes, and the color in his eyes was very clear and bright, without any cloudiness. "Next, the old man and the samurai from the Kingdom of Iron will break away from the Alliance Army, give up fighting in the Land of Rain, and return to guard the Land of Iron. I will entrust the command of the Fifth Alliance of the Alliance Army to you all."

"Varied-"

"Your Excellency, Captain, what do you mean by that?"

"Captain, do you intend to betray our alliance army?"

Hearing Mifune's resignation, more than a dozen squadron leaders in front of him were shocked.

Of course, after the shock, there were more anger and questioning. I was very repulsed by Mifune's idea of retreating without a fight, and began to utter words of reprimand and accusation.

language.

Seeing the anger of these people, the inner corner standing beside Sanfuan subconsciously pressed the handle of the knife, for fear that these people would suddenly attack Sanfuan in a state of anger.

Sanfuan stretched out his hand and stopped Lijiao's side, signaling that there was no need to be so vigilant. Although his body is old, he still has the ability to react after years of cultivation and rest. Even a ninja of Wukage's level cannot sneak up on him quietly. Otherwise, he would not have been selected by the Confederate Army as the captain of the Fifth Wing.

Faced with the accusations and dissatisfaction of these people, Mifune did not get angry, rather, their reactions were within his expectations.

He is the captain of the Fifth Wing. At this time, he retreats without a fight and withdraws from the Alliance Army. In the eyes of most Alliance Army ninjas, his behavior is "betrayal, right?" But from the standpoint of the Iron Nation, Mifune does not think that he has betrayed the covenant. "Everyone"

The loud words of the three boats came, overwhelming the arguments of these people:

"Our samurai merged into the Alliance Army in the name of the assisting party. The purpose was to wipe out Akatsuki and stop Infinity Tsukiyomi from happening. We fought for the peace of the ninja world. But now the Alliance Army and the Kingdom of Oni The matter of breaking up, Akatsuki has probably been settled. Then, our samurai, who are assisting, naturally have no reason to fight against the kingdom of ghosts. This is your ninja war, and the samurai will not intervene."

Mifune's voice was very firm.

He considered for a long time, and finally made up his mind to step down as the captain of the fifth regiment of the Union Army.

For him, the position of captain is not an honor, but a shackle, a tool that binds him and the warriors to the alliance army.

"If you are fighting for peace, then please ask the captain to continue to assist us and defeat the kingdom of ghosts. In that way, the ninja world will naturally have eternal peace. The righteous side will surely win."

Sand hidden squadron leader Jonin stepped forward and said, with a serious face.

Mifune glanced at him, and replied with a calm face: "The alliance army and the ghost country, who is just, there is no definite statement or evidence for this matter. Moreover, the positions between countries are relative justice in themselves, and non-absolute things."

"Don't you need to think about it again, captain? If you quit at this time, you will be very dissatisfied if you want to come to the headquarters. Please also consider it for the country of iron."

The words in the mouth of Yunyin Squadron Leader Jonin were already threatening.

Mifune was silent for a while, and continued: "Before the war started, the old man signed an agreement with His Excellencies Five Kages. When fighting the Kingdom of Ghosts, the warriors of the Iron Kingdom will leave the alliance army and will not serve as assistants. They will continue to serve Confederate troops are fighting. This is something that has long been decided.

"If that's the case, why didn't we get relevant orders? At the headquarters, why do you want your Excellency to continue to serve as the captain of the alliance? Was the so-called agreement fabricated by the captain himself?"

Distrust was evident on the faces of this group of people.

But their meaning is also very clear, they want Mifune and the samurai to be completely tied to the alliance army and fight for it.

After all, this is a powerful samurai close to the Five Kages level, and it is a strong support for the alliance army.

It's not that they don't understand, the reason why they have been messing around here is to stop Sanfuan's behavior of leaving the alliance army and force the other party to give up such unrealistic ideas.

"Yes, and at this time, can the Iron Kingdom remain neutral? From the perspective of the Ghost Kingdom, you have already formed one body with our alliance army. Your Excellency, Captain, please stop saying this, not every day Everyone will be as considerate of you as we are." The rest of the people echoed, although they were displeased with each other, but at this time they all agreed to unite to prevent Mifune and the samurai from leaving the alliance army.

"You guys, don't let Mifune-sam"

Mifune didn't get angry, but Lijiao couldn't help it.

Looking at the faces of this group of people who kept forcing them up, I was very angry inside.

Before the word ', could be uttered from the mouth, a booming sound suddenly sounded from the east of the camp, pillars of fire soaring into the sky formed, and there was confusion and shouting from the crowd.

"That is-"

Mifune and the squadron leaders all changed their expressions and looked towards the place where the fire started.

To the east of the camp is the snow storage area for the supplies of the 5th Wing. If the supplies there are burned, the 5th Wing basically has no ability to attack.

In particular, the medical supplies there are the most important thing, the key to survival on the battlefield.

Without hesitation, everyone stopped arguing and prepared to go to the snow storage area in the east of the camp to check what happened there.

However, before they could act, the surrounding samurai and ninjas began to move around indiscriminately, and their expressions and voices seemed to be in a state of confusion, in a very strange state.

"What's this?"

"Damn! What's wrong with my brain"

"The body doesn't listen"

"Oops, we're poisoned!"

In the chaos, some people realized that their group had been poisoned, and they all showed expressions of disbelief.

They are doing well here, and no enemies have sneaked in. How did they get poisoned? Moreover, it was this colorless and odorless poison that directly affected all of them.

Then, they realized a more critical problem.

The top leaders of the Fifth Wing are all gathered here, and they are collectively poisoned now. With no outside personnel entering, there is only one result that can be imagined

They coincidentally looked at Jonin, the only squadron leader standing in the field. From Mist.

It is said that he was from the Kirigakure hunting unit, and a member of the fifth generation Mizukage's direct subordinate. In the fifth wing, he served as the captain of the thirty-first squadron.

"you-"

Everyone realized that Kirigakure Jnin had betrayed them.

The reason is still unclear, but it was too late to react at this time, they fell to the ground, their limbs were not only weak, all kinds of wonderful fantasies caused the surrounding world to rotate, and there were all kinds of terrible illusions.

This poison not only has a paralyzing effect, but also has the ability to cause hallucinations.

Kirigakure's squadron leader Jnin calmly took out a flare from his pocket, ready to pull it away and launch it.

The cold blade touched the skin of his neck, making him stiff, and he looked at Mifune who didn't know when he put the blade on his neck in astonishment.

I believe that as long as he makes a slight abnormal move next, his head will fall to the ground instantly. "Impossible, why do you..."

As if he couldn't believe that Mifune still had such mobility, Kirigakure's Kaminin couldn't help but panic.

"Unfortunately, the old man's body resistance to poison is slightly stronger."

Mifune's face was slightly cold, not only the ninjas, but even the samurai under his command were also tricked.

If it wasn't for his body's higher resistance to poison, there would be no guarantee that there would be no problems.

And even the ninjas are not immune, this kind of poison is terrible.

Kirigakure Kaminin didn't resist, just let go of his hand honestly, let the signal flare fall on the ground, raised his hands in surrender, and didn't dare to make any rash moves.

After all, his task has been roughly completed. He doesn't know if Mifune's blade is sharp or not, but it's not a problem to cut off his head. He doesn't want to die aggrieved in such a place. "Are you a spy from the kingdom of ghosts? I have long heard that the kingdom of ghosts is good at attacking from the inside of the opponent and instigating hostile personnel... But I didn't expect that Mizukage's confidants like you would also be instigated. Recently, in the alliance Among them, you were also the one who secretly ordered Kirigakure's ninjas to clash with ninjas from other villages.

Mifune's expression became solemn, and his tone revealed fear.

Kirigakure Kamizu didn't want to explain, so just keep silent. Just when Mifune wanted to continue questioning, there was another loud bang. This time the distance was very close, not far from the camp.

That is the communication area of the Fifth Wing, where it is used to communicate with the Alliance Army Headquarters and the rest of the Wing.

call out-

call out-

call out-

Such voices kept surrounding the camp of the Fifth Regiment

around, rushing into the night sky.

Then the unknown object exploded in the sky, and intense flashes of light emerged, driving away the darkness and turning night into day.

Not only that, but it also contains special chakra fluctuations, which interfere with the signal receiver of the fifth wing and completely block the information here.

At this moment, Mifune realized that the attack of the ghost country had begun, and it was more sudden and terrifying than imagined.

First, a group of squadron leaders were poisoned, and then the communication was interrupted. The Fifth Wing became a lone army, and it was still a lone army with huge hidden dangers inside.

"Mifune-sama, Hotaru, Hotaru-"

Another right-hand man of Mifune, Chongsuke, ran over anxiously and shouted at Mifune.

"What?"

"People from the fireflies attacked the warehouse and burned all the supplies there! And they also cooperated with the thunder group"

Chongsuke finished talking about the situation over there in one breath.

Fireflies? Weren't they injured by the Lei Guang regiment? How can you still act? And they still acted together with the Lei Guang Regiment and burned down the warehouse of the Fifth Wing? Due to the sudden and complicated situation, Mifune felt that his brain was not enough.

"What else is there?"

Sanfuan took a deep breath, feeling that things with the Alliance Army could be even worse. "The Asuras were fighting against the Lightning Lightning Squad. When I came, they were almost overwhelmed, and half of them were killed or injured. Not only that, multiple bounty hunter teams also betrayed at the same time, cooperating with the Lightning Lightning The regiment is attacking the important facilities of the Fifth Wing!"

Chong Jie's face was full of travel and dust, and he was completely numb to the current situation of the Fifth Wing.

There are too many sieves inside the Alliance Army, isn't it paper?

A quarter of the bounty hunters who paid a lot of money suddenly turned back, which caught them off guard.

Afterwards, he saw the surrounding samurai and squadron leader Jonin, as well as his colleague Rikaku fell to the ground powerlessly. The leader, Mifune, held a knife on the neck of a Kirigard Jonin. stay.

Here... what happened again?

Why are these squadron leaders down?

Why is Mifune-sama attacking the Kirigakure ninja?

Thinking of a terrifying possibility, Chongsuke couldn't help but fell silent. Surrender, you can't fight, you can't win.

The senior management of the Fifth Wing has only three ships left to act, and the rest are down. How can the more than 20,000 ninjas lead and command? Moreover, the enemy has already started a surprise attack, the Fifth Wing is in chaos, the warehouse area and communication area have been destroyed, and the Fifth Wing has been completely reduced to a lone army.

The remaining hope is to break out of the siege in the direction of the Country of Grass and join the main force of the Alliance Army there, or seek help from Konoha in the east, and use the communication troops there to ask for help from the Alliance Army Headquarters.

In the sky, a familiar buzz sounded, and an air force squadron with flying ninja gear flew over the sky. Although they did not drop bombs, they brought tremendous pressure to everyone present.

More explosions began to sound from the fringes of the Fifth Wing's camp. The sea of blood all over the sky looked extremely intimidating, engulfing the alliance ninjas blocking the way into the sea of blood in one go.

A walking corpse with a numb expression was made up of Alliance Army ninjas. They opened the way ahead and rushed into the crowd. Their whole body swelled suddenly, their flesh and blood were torn apart, and they exploded to death in the crowd, and even their companions around them were also affected.

Several blood-colored giant dragons more than ten meters long attacked and bit the alliance ninjas below, and even the three boats here could see ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the brutal power of the blood dragon at a glance. "That belongs to the leader of the Lightning Lightning Corps..."

Mifune sighed, and recognized that it was the blood dragon eye ability of Chino, the leader of the Leiguang regiment.

The sea of blood, the gun, and the blood dragon are all the opponent's special skills, and they have earned a great reputation in the underground black market. Relying on that kind of blood succession boundary with strange abilities, even in the face of Wuying, he is still capable of fighting.

After seeing this, although there are still some things that he can't figure out, he can figure out the general things by himself.

thunder

The light group belongs to the ghost kingdom.

The Kingdom of Waves may have been secretly controlled by the Kingdom of Ghosts, and then think of the cross-sea bridge connecting the Kingdom of Waves and the Kingdom of Fire, which was jointly built by the two countries...

Konoha... or the country of fire, most of the area has now fallen. Thinking of this, Mifune retracted the samurai sword on Kirigakure's neck. The matter has come to this point, no matter how stubbornly the Fifth Wing fights, it will be defeated sooner or later, and there is no way to recover.
