[Battlefield of the Land of Rivers]
Poof!
Rengoku canceled the summoning of the ninja crow.
At this moment, he already clearly understood the situation over on the Iwagakure battlefield, as well as the valuable intelligence the Hyuga clan had scouted and brought back.
After thinking it over, he realized that compared to the combined huge forces of the other three ninja villages, the total military strength that Konoha had right now was really far too small.
Looking again at Kumogakure's cautious, walking-on-thin-ice attitude, they probably would not step into this chaotic war situation easily in the short term.
From this battle with Iwagakure alone, Konoha had already lost a few dozen people.
If things kept going like this, for Rengoku to carry out his previous plan, Konoha would have to pay with quite a lot of lives.
Since the people from Kumogakure were not in a hurry to move forward, Rengoku decided to leave them for last.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to first break one front.
Once the thought was set, Rengoku shifted his consciousness to the clone positioned at the edge of Moryo's battlefield.
There, he had three thousand people on standby, a unit led by the Akimichi clan with Choza as the head.
The reason he arranged it this way was exactly because of the Akimichi clan's unique ninjutsu, which let them enlarge their bodies.
This ability often had unexpected effect when dealing with those troublesome stone golems.
However, as the battle situation shifted, this place no longer needed them to hold out.
Rengoku ordered, "Choza, immediately lead your unit to support Fugaku's team."
"You have to put on a posture of fully surrounding Iwagakure, but at the same time stay alert at all times and watch out for possible reinforcements appearing behind Iwagakure."
"Once their reinforcements arrive, you must give up surrounding Iwagakure without hesitation and quickly join up with Fugaku's team. As for the fight over here, you do not need to worry about it."
Rengoku gave his instructions to Choza. This was his last clone.
Keeping it here was mainly to make it easier to pass on information, and it was also a clone that had been constantly absorbing natural energy.
Choza's unit was positioned exactly between the Konoha forces in the Land of Rivers and the Iwagakure battlefield, with three thousand people.
Their role from the start was to support whichever side did not go smoothly.
"Then I'll leave this side to you, Lord Hokage."
Choza did not waste words. He directly led his men and headed toward the Iwagakure battlefield.
At this time, high up in the sky, Onoki also noticed that the Konoha forces below had retreated.
And the direction they were heading was exactly toward Iwagakure's troops.
While Onoki was thinking, he watched the fight below. Inside the barrier, Moryo and Miroku (Rengoku) kept tangling with each other, while Senku was destroying stone golems wherever he went.
By the time the fighting had started on the other battlefields, Senku had already dismantled seven thousand stone golems.
But after the stone golems were torn apart, more and more purple-black energy kept surging out from the ground, making Moryo fight more and more fiercely.
What puzzled Moryo was that his power was increasing, but the Miroku opposite him was the same.
The two of them stayed in a balanced state, constantly consuming each other.
Moryo was not in a hurry because he was still getting stronger. Miroku (Rengoku) was not in a hurry because Senku kept tearing down stone golems and he was waiting for the other battlefields to produce results.
At this moment, the situation over on the Iwagakure battlefield was clearly not optimistic.
Rengoku made a decisive move and quickly redeployed the troops he was leading away from their original position.
Just then, a flapping sound came. The messenger birds from Sunagakure and Iwagakure arrived at Onoki's location almost at the same time.
Onoki hurriedly reached out to take the intelligence they brought, then skimmed through it at extreme speed.
His face instantly turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "The situation is urgent. This old man must rush back to the troops at once! We move now!"
Roshi had already fallen into a coma, and that group of Konoha ninja who had just left clearly aimed to go support Uchiha Fugaku.
No matter whether what he did here would bear fruit or not, the most important thing now was to return to the Iwagakure battlefield as soon as possible to take command.
On the other side, Yagura (Rengoku) also wanted to free up his own clone to deal with the current situation.
So he said to Onoki, "Alright, then let's move immediately."
"The terrain in this area is not good for your men to hide their presence."
"How about this. After the battle starts, your men can just charge straight down from above to join in."
Onoki nodded slightly after hearing this, then turned to look at the dozen or so elite ninja he had brought.
He quickly made a series of complex hand signs, passing along the next combat instructions to them.
However, this string of signals meant nothing to Yagura (Rengoku).
After all, every ninja village had its own unique system of signs and hand gestures, and they were not shared with one another.
Except for Akatsuchi, everyone else nodded in understanding, showing that they had already grasped Onoki's intentions.
Rengoku then gave Yagura a look, and the two jinchuriki began forming Tailed Beast Bombs high in the sky.
Nearby, Onoki's expression was very grave. Yagura had used this very move to give Kumogakure a huge loss.
Both Yaguras formed Tailed Beast Bombs filled with enormous destructive power.
Right after that, their Tailed Beast Bombs shot straight down, and their target was clearly the monk Senku on the ground.
The huge, violent Tailed Beast Bombs rushed down at high speed.
Both Moryo and Senku, who was directly facing the danger, sensed the deadly threat from above their heads almost at the same time.
They both raised their heads at once, and when their eyes landed on those two Tailed Beast Bombs falling like meteors, they were both shocked.
Moryo's face went dark.
'There are actually two Tailed Beast Bombs coming down?'
'Who released those Tailed Beast Bombs?'
'Wasn't I supposed to be probing Konoha's strength for the other ninja villages? Why are they hitting me?'
Thinking of this, Moryo did not dare hesitate even a little. He clashed with Miroku beside him once, then used the rebound force to quickly retreat backward.
However, just as Moryo had barely moved out of the Tailed Beast Bombs' blast range, those two Tailed Beast Bombs had already smashed heavily into the ground like falling stars, the explosions stirring up a sky-full of smoke and dust.
When the dust had scattered a little, Moryo suddenly realized that the real target had not been him, but the monk Senku.
At this moment, Senku was showing a reaction speed beyond ordinary people.
At the last critical moment before the Tailed Beast Bombs hit the ground, his body flashed to the side in a rapid leap.
He narrowly dodged this fierce strike.
At the same time, Miroku also hurriedly flew to Senku's side, standing shoulder to shoulder with him as they jointly faced this sudden change.
