Chapter 40 New Situation

Hatake Sakumo's White Fang Sword Technique itself carries the techniques of changing the properties of two chakras, wind and lightning, among which the lightning chakra property change is the main one. Uchiha Toba had also been specializing in the lightning attribute.

It was not until this period of time, under the possession training of Hatake Sakumo and the dedicated contributions of more than 20 Sand Ninja souls, that the nature of Uchiha Feiyu's wind attribute chakra changed and caught up with the level of lightning attribute, and then he could display the White Fang Sword Technique in its heyday.

The change in the nature of wind chakra has two uses in the White Fang Sword Technique. One is to wrap it around the body to form airflow, eliminate air resistance, reduce sound and increase speed. The other is the long-range sword attack that Uchiha Feiyu just used, which is almost a flying slash.

This kind of long-range sword attack is just as powerful as the B-level wind-cutting technique, but it does not require hand seals during combat and can be performed by simply swinging the sword lightly. It is precisely because of the sword energy that makes up for the shortcomings of long-range attacks that Hatake Sakumo's White Fang sword technique has truly reached perfection and become impeccable.

The captain of the Iwagakure ninja team on the opposite side was first deceived by Uchiha Feiyu's advanced Sharingan illusion. He was stunned for a second or two, and then he was directly cut in half by the sword energy.

On the contrary, the other three injured ninjas, because they did not look directly into the Sharingan, were forced into a panic by the sword energy that Feiyu unleashed without forming any hand seals, but they still managed to avoid the attack.

"Captain! Damn it!"

The tall Iwagakure roared, but the other two Iwagakure brothers reached out and grabbed his left and right arms:
"Don't be impulsive, we have no chance of winning! And this mission has already failed, Konoha's reinforcements will be here soon!"

"Damn Uchiha...just wait for me!"

The tall Iwagakure had a hateful look on his face and threatened the students not to run away after school, but he eventually retreated with the pair of Iwagakure brothers.

Uchiha Feiyu took a look at the chasm on the ground and finally did not continue chasing. However, at this moment the entire periphery of Konoha was in chaos. With his sensitive five senses, he even sensed a lot of battles taking place.

"It seems that the Rock Ninja sent more than one team for this raid. However, with my signal, I guess these Rock Ninja won't be able to gain any advantage."

While guessing the situation, Uchiha Feiyu stretched out his hand and put the soul of the Rock Ninja captain into his bag.

This was indeed the case. After half a day of turmoil, the fighting near the Konoha camp subsided, and Uchiha Feiyu soon met Orochimaru.

"Feiyu-kun, this time it's all thanks to you."

There was a hint of anger in Orochimaru's expression, and he thanked Uchiha Feiyu.

"Nothing, it's just a coincidence that these guys are very close to my training ground... What's going on? Did the Iwagakure declare war on us too?"

Orochimaru's expression turned cold, and there was some anger in his eyes:

"We just received an expedited summoning of the Iwagakure's declaration of war and handed it over to Konoha. Haha, this old man Ohnoki really has a good plan. He carried out the surprise attack and declaration of war at the same time. This old man likes to play these unpresentable things!"

"How many people are on the other side? What's their strength?" Uchiha Feiyu ignored Ohnoki's tricks. To be honest, tearing up contracts and going to war without declaring war is almost a norm in the entire ninja world. Ohnoki's combination of surprise attack and declaration of war can only be regarded as child's play. In the future, the Sand Ninja will play even more tricks in the Chunin Exam. Now Feiyu only cares about the strength of the Iwagakure.

"We don't know the exact number of the large force, but there were five teams that raided just now, totaling 20 people, and all of them are at least at the level of a special jonin!"

"These ninjas must be proficient in ground-walking techniques, or they must have large-scale camouflage techniques to be able to lurk so close. If the raid is successful, the damage will be huge."

A team of 20 people raiding a camp of thousands of people may sound like a joke, but if everyone is strong enough to be a special jonin or above, it cannot be underestimated.

Ninjas are originally glass cannons with high attack and paper defense. Almost all ninjas at the Jonin level have large-scale lethal ninjutsu. It is normal for them to take away thousands of lives in the camp with a set of combined ninjutsu when they suddenly attack.

By that time, although the Konoha camp could not be said to be seriously injured, it was still seriously injured.

Uchiha Feiyu didn't care much about the Iwagakure's plan that had already failed. He was more concerned about the fact that the Iwagakure had now directly declared war on Konoha.

"Are the Iwagakure also preparing to go to war with our Konoha? So now we are one against two?"

"That's right... But the Kawanokuni battlefield should only be a secondary battlefield for the Iwagakure ninja. They won't deploy too many ninjas here."

Uchiha Feiyu nodded to show that he understood. The River Country already had a large number of ninjas from Konoha and Sand Ninja. If the Rock Ninja also sent a large army, the old events of the Rain Country battlefield during World War II would probably be repeated.

During the Second World War in the Ninja World, Konoha, Iwagakure, Sand Village, and Amegakure gathered in a small Rain Country at the same time, killing each other so hard that blood flowed like a river. In the end, none of the four sides came out on top, and all were severely injured or even nearly wiped out.

This is because all ninja villages will not trust other ninja villages. The Iwagakure and Sand ninjas are unlikely to truly join forces to attack Konoha. Instead, they will regard each other as hostile targets. At most, their combat priority will be slightly lower than Konoha. Therefore, the sum of the two parties is actually 1+1 which is less than two.

In this situation, dividing the battlefield and attacking Konoha at the same time is actually the best option for those ninja villages that want to cut flesh from Konoha.

However, having said that, every time the Ninja World War sieges Konoha, it is fine in the early stages, but in the later stages this strategy always becomes a mess and turns into a melee - the hatred between the major ninja villages, the suspicion of other ninja villages, the greed to reduce the power of other ninja villages and monopolize the fruits of victory, the intrigues and discord between the ninja villages always cause the other ninja villages to fight each other.

"The ninjas sent by the Iwagakure should not exceed a thousand. Their main goal is probably to increase pressure on us, attack more points, and tie down Konoha's military strength."

"Unfortunately, even though we know this, we still have to send more reinforcements and make sure we have perfect defenses."

Orochimaru analyzed the matter calmly, but he still had to ask for reinforcements. As long as the Iwagakure still had their troops on the battlefield in River Country, he must not take them lightly.

Ninjas are a profession that is good at deception. Although the strategic plans of these guys are terrible, their tactics should not be underestimated. You never know, the enemy may switch from containment to main attack, and bring in a large number of elite troops to break through your front line.
