Orochimaru's Allah's Lamp

Chapter 274
Fighting an enemy with a full view of the map must not be left to chance.

Any seemingly normal decision may be a trap laid by the enemy.

In other words, the detour chosen by Uchiha Shinsuke at this time may also be in the hands of the enemy.

Among the various choices, it is nothing more than a question of probability of success.

But Uchiha Shinsuke still insisted on choosing the latter, for no other reason than his confidence in himself and the strength of the team.

Among the three ninja squads, only two of the twelve members are not Jnin, and there will never be any problems in terms of footwork.

As long as they are not double-teamed, the probability of escape is extremely high.

And the conditions needed to surround them on all sides, even with the support of the group of Kirigin rebels from the Iron Country, are not easy.

The labor cost is still second, the key is the time issue.

The route chosen by Konoha also required a half-day trip to the area closest to the Iron Country. From entering the Tang Country and being discovered by the opponent to sending people to help, there was absolutely no time.

Unless, the opponent was in ambush from the beginning.

But if this is the case, it doesn't matter if you are punished to stand in place. Anyway, you can't escape left and right, and you can count how many enemies you can get away with.

All the ninjas present are experienced ninjas who have been born and died countless times, so they naturally know what is the best choice, and after a little summing up, the method is determined.

But when Uchiha Shinsuke wanted to send a signal for help, Kakashi stopped him.

Uchiha Shinsuke looked over in puzzlement, and Kakashi said slowly, "We alone are not worthy of Kusanagi and Akatsuki's effort. Their goal may be Jiraiya-sama, and we are just bait."

If it weren't for the worst situation, Kusanagi would only attack on a daily basis, and they would definitely not be able to stop their team.

And if you think in the worst direction, you have to think a little worse.Assuming that the Akatsuki organization had premeditated, these ninja squads alone obviously couldn't satisfy their appetite.

They had the record of besieging 'Konoha Sannin' and severely injuring Orochimaru, so they had to guard against it.

Uchiha Shinsuke's face sank when he heard the words, and suddenly realized that what he had just considered was still a bit wrong.

If you send out a signal flare and go back the same way, then even if you encounter a battle, you still have a chance to meet Jiraiya-sama.

The two sides work together to deal with the attack from the enemy.

And if you choose to go around, you can't send a signal flare to ask for help. After all, it is impossible for the help team to follow them all the way.

Either rely on the strength of the team to break out of the enemy's blockade, or get stuck in it.

Choosing the latter undoubtedly allowed the team to bear the risk alone, and avoided the worst situation where Konoha Sannin was in crisis.

But Uchiha Shinsuke accepted Kakashi's request without any hesitation.

Although it made him feel very discouraged to say this, even if the team members doubled, compared to a 'Konoha Sannin', the weight would be much lower.

It has nothing to do with power and status, purely because of personal value.

'For the village' is not just a word, but when something happens, you have to risk your life to avoid greater losses for the village and strive for more value.

Konoha and his party immediately turned from northeast to southeast, speeding up their pace.

……

In a jungle somewhere in Tango Country, the patriarch of the Yuki Clan, Mizumuzuki Chi, brought his blood-fed ninjas to the treetops, quietly waiting for the Konoha ninjas to arrive.

"At most 10 minutes, Konoha's ninja will arrive."

A strange head with short gray-green hair protruded from the thick tree, and said in surprise, "You expected them to do this."

"Although it's not the case anymore, I was also a ninja from the Great Ninja Village before, so I know exactly what they think."

Mizunazuki touched the scar that almost split his handsome face in half, and said with a smile,
"However, after all, these young people are just playing tricks. It's really enjoyable to target 'Konoha Sannin'."

"Your Xiao organization is so strong that you can beat Dashewan without showing up for more than a year. Why have you been making small troubles recently?"

"Now put the target on Jiraiya instantly, and the probability of success is very high."

"Hey, you're asking the wrong person." Bai Jue's avatar smiled strangely, "I'm just the eyes, and I'm not in charge of using the brain."

"That can't be done, please let your eyes play the role of your mouth again." Minadutsuki also laughed, "Notify Kakuzu and Taketori, let them come quickly."

From the very beginning, the Konoha team had no way out.

Whether it is advancing or retreating, or the soldiers make strange moves or choose to turn around, they will be intercepted by the deployed troops, and then be surrounded and suppressed with the support of the other two lines. The only difference is that the positions are different.

But for the sake of the village, they chose a dead end and cut off their last life. Speaking of it, it is really ironic.

"I've been doing this kind of thing since the beginning."

Bai Jue muttered, and retracted his head into the trunk of the big tree, leaving only one sentence, "Be careful, they are already here."

"Is it?"

The patriarch of the Snow Clan, Mizumuzuki, suppressed the smile on his face, a pair of black eyes with a faint cold light,

"Boys, get over there, catch the big ones, let go of the small ones, and pester them."

"Yes!"

There was a burst of breaking wind in the jungle.

……

Konoha and his party ran quickly in the jungle, and the atmosphere in the team became more and more tense.

Since Uchiha Shinsuke gave the warning, Hinata Himono, who is the eyes of the team, has increased the frequency of investigation and reported the monitoring content in real time.

And in Hinata Fire Gate's field of vision, the white and cold sights hidden underground one after another made him thorn in the back.

When the other party learned that he had exposed Zhihu, he no longer concealed anything at all, and told the Konoha team clearly through his eyes that you were being targeted.

In this gradually depressing atmosphere, Hyuga Homon suddenly shouted, "More than a dozen ninjas responded in front of us, and at least three of them were jounin."

When the expected ambush appeared, the members of the Konoha Ninja Team breathed a sigh of relief.

The greatest fear comes from the unknown, and it will erode people's reason a little bit, but it is not so scary when exposed to the field of vision.

Upon hearing the news, Uchiha Shinsuke immediately ordered, "Stay where you are and wait for the enemy to attack."

It's not that he didn't expect that there might be other enemies coming around, and it's the best strategy to break through the enemy's encirclement in one go.

But what I'm afraid of is that I will go all out and then decline. Now I put away my fist and hit it again to be more powerful.

Da da da……

A series of footsteps sounded, and the Konoha ninjas each stopped on a tree trunk, put up a defensive formation, looked ahead, and waited for it.

The enemy came very quickly, and the distance of three or four kilometers was crossed in a few minutes.

The distance between the two was only tens of meters, and when they were about to enter the attack distance of each other, the ninja of the Snow Clan took the lead.

"Water Escape, Great Waterfall Technique!"

More than a dozen Chunin joined forces to cast it, and in the blink of an eye, a huge wave was set off, forcing the Konoha ninjas to stretch their left and right sides, and the formation completely dispersed.

Having said that, these ninjas shot too early and their distance was too poor, which gave the Konoha ninja too much reaction time. Apart from breaking a dozen small trees, they did not cause ninja injuries.

But the ninjas of the Snow Clan did not intend to damage the enemy.

The three Blood Successor Jonin, headed by the head of the Snow Clan, Minazuki Chi, leaped lightly onto the surface of the water.

Put your hands together and say in unison, "Ice Escape·Ice Crystal of Magic Mirror!"

"Stop them now!"

As the ice spread, there was a roar from Uchiha Shinsuke. He had seen the Yuki Clan perform it on the battlefield between Konoha and Kirigakure, and he knew how difficult this move was.

"Fire Escape Dragon Fire Technique!"

"Fire escape, the fire is extinguished!"

……

The ninjas in the Konoha team who are good at fire escape immediately cast their respective spells.

It's just that the scattered team formations can't hit the power of ninjutsu, and their tactical intentions are not unified. Some attacks go straight to the three ice escape ninjas, while others use flames to melt the spreading ice to open a passage.

These ideas were all correct, but one after another fell through.

Not only because of the dispersion of power, after all, the fire escape is only the five basic escape techniques, which are weaker than the blood succession ninjutsu.

Just looking at the change in form, the flame melted the ice layer, and the water flow had to be evaporated to offset his power.

And at this time interval, a new layer of ice was recreated.

The evaporated water vapor, these former water country ninjas did not waste it, "Water Escape·Mist Concealment Technique!"

White mist spread, filling the space like an ice bowl turned upside down.

After Minadutsuchi trapped most of the Konoha ninjas, he looked at the ninjutsu he had performed, with a little embarrassment in his eyes.

The ice escape ninja, combined with the Kirigakure assassination technique, has buried many ninjas who killed the enemy, but now that it is taken out, it can only play a role of trapping.

The Taketori clan and those in Kakutsu are all violent ninjas, and they can't exert the maximum ability of the cage at all.

"What a pity."

Minadutsuchi stared at Uchiha Shinsuke and slowly sank into the ice.

Even with the fog covered, Uchiha's Sharingan is not easy to mess with.

……

"Fire Escape · Howling Fire Ball Technique!"

On the treetop covered with ice slag, Uchiha Shinsuke continued to spit flames towards the ground.

His purpose is not to attack, but to use this as a sign to gather the crowd.

It didn't take long for eight members to join together.

Uchiha Shinsuke looked around, frowning, "Kakashi, where did he go?"

Hyuga Homon replied, "When the other party's ice escape ninjutsu, he rushed over with his speed."

Also absent were two Chunin and Jōnin. They were on the verge before the ninjutsu was activated, and luckily dodged it.

"I see."

Uchiha Shinsuke nodded slightly, "It just so happens that he is not very useful here, but can play a greater role outside."

Among the five series of ninjutsu, although the effect of fire escape is not good, it is the most suitable for dealing with ice escape, and Kakashi is not good at fire escape.

If the enemy only chooses a conservative entanglement strategy, both the Thunder Dungeon for attack and the Earth Dungeon for defense will be useless.

"The most important thing now is to break this ice cover."

When Uchiha Shinsuke said this, he pressed his temple subconsciously.

If he also has Susano like Shisui, this level of ninjutsu is just a matter of one move, purely just a joke.

But now, it takes several times more energy to escape from it. This is really...

Uchiha Shinsuke looked around and divided them into two groups based on whether he was good at fire escape, "you guard the surroundings to prevent ice escape ninjas from taking the opportunity to sneak attack."

……

Standing on a branch of a big tree that was not washed down by the waves, Kakashi looked at the ice cover not far away, frowning deeply.

The forehead guard on his head has already been straightened, but even though the jade in his eyes is flowing, there is no reason to see it.

The chakra circulating in the ice cover interfered with the insight ability of Sharingan, and it was impossible to find the traces of the three ice escape ninjas.

Whoosh...

Amidst bursts of screaming and breaking wind, Qianben flew towards Kakashi and the three ninjas one after another, forcing them to stay away from the ice cover.

After retreating tens of meters, a Konoha jonin suddenly yelled at Kakashi, "Captain, they are trying to force us back."

"..."

Of course Kakashi could see that, he even knew that if he turned around and fled in the established direction, these rebels from Kirigakure would not even continue to pursue them.

There are eight jounin and one elite chunin, and two of them are high-strength pupil ninjas. Being able to keep these people is already a big profit for grass ninja.

After all, they never used a lot of manpower and material resources as they had guessed before.

Thinking of this, Kakashi subconsciously touched the scroll hidden in his chest, which contained the funds to buy rare ore in the Land of Thunder this time.

Now that he has learned that this operation is an ambush, the next thing to do is to avoid losses to the village as much as possible.

He should turn around and walk away now.

There were more than a dozen Chunin on the other side, and it was difficult for him to rely on three people to pose too much threat to the ice cover in a short time, and he was unable to round with the teammates inside.

Not to mention, the enemy still has reinforcements, and after they chose this path, they had already abandoned the hope of rescue of the village, and now they can earn as much as they can escape.

but……

but……

Kakashi raised his hand and touched his left eye, where the Gouyu flowed and filled with pupil power, as if the blood of his old friend still remained in it.

This time he faced a choice again.

But unlike before, it was not because of blind feelings that they deliberately chose to save or not to save. The current situation has developed to the common choice of the 12 of them.

As a whole, it can be broken and damaged, but before the split, one party must not abandon the other party.

This kind of thing is never allowed.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Kakashi shouted at the other two companions, "You try to stop them, and I will find a way to destroy this ice shell."

As soon as the words fell, without thinking about whether the two of them would respond, their waists lowered slightly, and one hand held the dagger beside them.

The two Konoha ninjas were stunned for a moment after hearing this order, without any hesitation, they rushed towards Kirigakure Renin.

Two vs. sixteen was obviously desperate, but Kakashi, the captain, was desperate, so how could they be timid.

The two eyes, one black and one red, reflected the scene in front of him, but Kakashi's mind recalled the swordplay he saw on the big lake after the Nine Tails Rebellion.
