I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

As a large number of ninjas and soldiers poured into the battle line, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

At this moment, both sides were blood-thirsty and were determined to take a bite of the other side even if it meant death. This war was even more brutal than the encirclement and suppression of the Third Raikage during the Third World War.

When the person in front fell, he would step on the bodies of his companions and continue to move forward.

The original trenches were already filled with corpses, and no one was there to clean them up. The smell of blood mixed with gunpowder filled the nose.

People's adrenaline is activated, everything else is thrown behind their minds, and they only focus on solving the enemy in front of them. It's either you die or I die.

Just as he dealt with an enemy, a kunai came from an unknown direction. His eyes went dark, and he felt no pain, just a chill. After losing his strength, he fell to the ground.

Human life becomes worthless here.

"Lord Tsuchikage, our casualties have exceeded half. If we continue fighting like this, we won't be able to hold on!"

While his men kept talking about the battle situation, Ōnoki stared at the flag of Amegakure without wavering.

Now they are less than 50 meters away from the enemy's command post. As long as they move forward a little bit and take over the command post, Yuyin will be paralyzed.

"Everyone, listen to my orders. Ignore the main force and attack the opposite command post with all your strength!"

The distance is not far, even if they are separated from the main force, they can still fight their way out.

Dust Release, Limit Stripping Technique

Without holding back, Ohnoki used his most powerful trick. A transparent cube appeared in his hand, and after Ohnoki gently pushed it forward, it quickly expanded.

Anything that touches the cube will turn into powder. The power of Dust Release is like a black hole. Even the earth cannot stop its progress.

A blank space suddenly appeared right in front of Ōnoki and the others. Even the terrain turned into a cube, and a large gap appeared in the Yuyin formation.

"rush!"

Everyone in Iwagakure understood that this was the last chance. Ōnoki's chakra had run out, and while the Raingakure soldiers were still dazed, they decisively launched a charge.

"Master, evacuate immediately! The enemy is coming!"

The adjutant hurriedly pulled Xiu, trying to cover his evacuation, but Xiu stood there and ignored the adjutant.

"What are you afraid of? Get everyone to fight back! My soldiers are still fighting bravely, how can I abandon them?"

Xiu stared at the eastern sky. A ray of light had already appeared and it was almost dawn.

If Xiu doesn't retreat, how can others dare to evacuate? They can only keep sending people to support the command center. That Dust Escape just now was too scary.

The sounds of fighting were getting closer and closer, and everyone in the command room could clearly feel that the wooden house was shaking.

"What are you all doing here? Come out with me!"

Seeing that many officers were still hiding here, Xiu decisively picked up his weapon and walked out of the command post.

As soon as he went out, he could see that the Iwagakure ninjas were about to rush towards him, and Xiu could clearly see the scar on the face of an Iwagakure ninja.

"That's him! He's the commander of Yuyin!"

Xiu's military uniform was obviously slightly different from that of ordinary soldiers. In addition, everyone was surrounding him, so the Iwagakure ninja recognized him as soon as he appeared.

The Iwagakure ninjas finally found their target, and now they rushed towards Xiu like crazy, not caring about the little chakra left in their bodies.

Various ninjutsu were released desperately.

Fortunately, these officers around Xiu are still useful. Most of them were previously Jonin of Yugakure, and they have not taken any action, so their chakra is still sufficient.

Various defensive ninjutsu such as Water Array Wall and Earth Flow Wall were directly raised to block all ninjutsu outside.

After the exchange of ninjutsu, Xiu shouted that waiting to die on the spot was not his style.

Drawing out a well-forged samurai sword, Xiu led the charge himself.

One side is fighting for its own ideals, and the other side is being invaded. There is no way to worry about who is right or wrong. As a subordinate, you can only obey orders and kill the enemy in front of you.

Rock Fist.

Akagi knocked down an officer from Amegakure who surrounded him with one punch. Now he could only use this kind of ninjutsu which did not consume much energy as he was almost at his limit.

Even Ōnoki was only sitting in the center of their formation at the moment and had no energy left to use Dust Release.

Xiu killed the enemy in front of him with one sword, shook off the blood stains on the sword, looked at Chi Tu who several people could not get close to, and rushed forward.

When the adjutant saw how bold Xiu was, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly asked people to follow him.

The battlefield is not the Chunin Exam. Xiu quietly moved behind the opponent, injected chakra into the samurai sword, and then chopped the opponent's back with the samurai sword with blue light.

"Ahem, Earth Escape, Earthquake Core."

At this moment, Ohnoki in the distance fixed his eyes, slapped the ground with his palm, and a large area of ​​land under Xiu's feet sank directly. This time the attack missed, allowing Akagi to react.

This old guy still has strength.

Xiu turned around and glanced at Ohnoki, whose face was as pale as paper and looked grim.

In fact, if Xiu looked closely, he found that this Earthquake Core move was obviously not Ohnoki's usual strength. The entire ground only sank about ten centimeters, which was incomparable to the original Earthquake Core. Ohnoki was indeed at the end of his rope.

But this was enough, Akatsuki turned around and saw the man who wanted to attack him. They had met each other in the Five Kage Tournament.

At this moment, the other party is one of the culprits who turned Iwagakure into this state.

The usually honest Chi Tu's eyes now turned red.

The rock fist in his hand not only grew bigger, but also smashed towards Xiu like a heavy hammer.

Xiu hurriedly used his samurai sword to block, but the slender blade could not block it and broke into two with a crisp sound.

Fortunately, Xiu knew that he couldn't fight head-on, so he started to retreat while blocking with the knife, dissipating most of his strength.

Chi Tu still wanted to give chase, but his adjutant finally arrived with his men and called on everyone to surround him.

He ran to Xiu and helped him up.

"What is the current situation of the position?"

Xiu stood up and asked, he was still concerned about whether the position would be lost.

"No... I don't know. The radio is completely unusable, the messenger is nowhere to be found, and the entire position is in chaos."

Adjutant Zhan Zhanhehe said that the command system was completely paralyzed and their orders could not be passed on.

Xiu frowned, knowing that this was not the adjutant's fault alone. This was the first time they had fought such a brutal battle.

"We must not let the flag fall down no matter what. As long as the flag is there, the soldiers on the front line will know that we are still working hard. If the flag falls, the position will be gone!"

Xiu drew the samurai sword from his adjutant's waist. In addition to kunai and shuriken, all the current Yugakure warriors who reached a certain level were equipped with samurai swords. After all, long weapons had many more advantages than kunai in fighting on the battlefield.

As for why spears were not made, it was because the ninjas' original means of attack were not suitable. The samurai sword was at least slightly longer than the ordinary ninja sword, so it was easier for them to use.

Xiu looked up at the sky again and saw that half of the sun was already visible in the east.

"Tell the others, if we hold on a little longer we will win! Lord Ye Lan will be here soon!"
