c242 The Legion invades the border
At the border of the Snow Country.
The third city district is separated from the outside world by a wall, dividing the inside and outside of the Snow Country into two worlds.
The wall separating the border and the city district is very tall, just like the outer wall surrounding Konoha, but the actual thickness and height are much higher than Konoha.
From the outside, it looks like a huge fortress.
“Is this the footprint of that monster?”
Two men in uniform appeared outside the city district. One of them squatted down and gestured with his palm to the sunken footprint on the ground.
The other took a pen and wrote the information of the footprint on the notebook, shook his head and said: “This footprint looks like it came from a human, but it is too big, and the height is estimated to be three or four meters.”
“You stay here first and protect the surrounding residents. I will go back to the guard team now to see what kind of creature’s footprint this is.”
“Okay, go and come back quickly.”
In other countries in the ninja world, civilians not only have to pay various taxes, but also have to spend money to hire ninjas when they encounter problems.
Over time, ninjas gradually became a tool for the powerful to oppress civilians, because only the rich in the wealthy class could hire ninjas.
Because of these drawbacks, under Menma’s reform, the Snow Country has abandoned the “employment” form of the five major countries.
The people of the Snow Country only need to pay taxes to be protected by the country, and there is no need to spend additional expenses to hire ninjas to solve problems.
Even if there is an accident, the guards of each town can arrive at the scene immediately to solve the problem for the people.
The effect is also very good, and the people’s sense of identity and happiness with the Snow Country has been rising.
When an accident occurs, they will report to the town’s guards at the first time, which is a natural eyeliner to some extent.
According to the residents of the towns around the border, there have been rumbling noises at night recently.
Some people even saw a monster with a tall body and bright eyes.
After receiving the news, the members of the town’s guards rushed to the scene as soon as possible.
However, judging from these footprints, they have never heard of this creature.
They could only go back to report and ask for help.
A few years ago, the Snow Country completed road construction work across the country and strengthened communication and management between towns.
In this way, the orders issued by the top can be transmitted to all places in the first time, and the intelligence and news from all places can be smoothly heard by the emperor.
But just when the two wanted to act separately.
“No need to bother anymore.”
A voice without any emotion suddenly came from behind them.
The two turned their heads subconsciously and saw a familiar figure.
“Instructor?”
“It turned out to be you two.”
Uchiha Izumi, wearing a mask, glanced at the two and said indifferently: “The military has taken over here. You go and ask the guards to organize the evacuation of nearby town residents.”
While they were talking.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the earth shook, hundreds of figures walked out of the woods in the distance.
The stone statues that were not supposed to have life were now like living things, lined up in rows and slowly walked towards the direction of the Snow Country.
The fields and roads along the way were severely damaged.
“That’s…” The two guards looked stern.
“Why are you still standing there? Why don’t you go and organize the residents to evacuate?”
“Oh! Yes!”
After the two left, Uchiha Izumi came to a treetop.
His originally dark pupils turned scarlet, and three magatama slowly appeared in his eyes. He stared down thoughtfully, watching the stone statue army marching towards the town area of the Snow Country.
Suddenly, the shadow under his feet began to spread, flowing down the tree trunk to the ground.
Finally, it turned into a dark figure, sweeping across the stone soldiers marching in front like lightning.
The figure was like a sharp sword that cut iron like mud. Wherever it passed, the legs of the stone soldiers were cut off.
The wounds of the cut parts were as smooth as a mirror.
Purple mist also rose up and gradually dissipated in the air.
In a flash, the black shadow returned to Izumi’s back.
“How is it?”
“…Using what the Lord gave us, we can indeed destroy their core.”
The black shadow gradually showed facial features and turned into the appearance of Uchiha Shisui.
“Really?”
Hearing this, Quan took out a blue-green crystal stone, and began to quickly seal with his hands, with his cheeks puffed up.
“Senjutsu·Fire Style·Great Fire Extinguishment!”
The flames in his mouth fell from the sky, causing a loud rumbling sound, and gushed towards the stone statue army.
The rapidly burning blue flames roared past like an ocean, engulfing the bodies of the stone statue soldiers.
A large number of stone statue soldiers rolled in the air, their bodies and the stone blades in their hands tore into pieces, and the battle was almost a one-sided massacre.
Most of the stone statue soldiers walking forward were affected, burned red by the scorching flames, and the surface of their bodies cracked.
The ground and the mountain roads on both sides left turbid charred marks, with terrifying high temperatures that made the air bend.
When the blue sparks faded from the stone soldier, only a pile of broken stones remained on the ground.
Under the observation of Uchiha Shisui’s Sharingan, the internal situation of the stone soldier could be seen clearly.
The blue sparks blessed by natural energy wiped out the purple-black chakra without a trace.
The purple-black mist is the core of the stone soldiers and the chakra of the monsters.
As long as the purple-black chakra is wiped off, they will become a pile of useless stone statues.
Shisui scratched his head: “Your ninjutsu is more suitable for dealing with a large number of enemies.”
Without using the Mangekyō Sharingan, his ninjutsu is more suitable for stealth single assassination.
Even the large-scale shadow flow secret technique is essentially a move for a single enemy.
Izumi looked at the hot hell below that turned into a high-temperature steamer, and the three-magatama Sharingan was full of calmness and indifference.
“Next, just keep these ghosts out and wait for the master to deal with the monsters.”
These stone soldiers have hard bodies and terrifying strength, but they move slowly and don’t know how to adapt.
For Izumi, who is good at fire escape ninjutsu, they are undoubtedly a group of best live targets.
Even a body as hard as steel cannot stop the high-temperature fire escape that can dissolve steel and is fused with fairy chakra.
“Well, there should be no problem.”
Shisui nodded and said, “The Lord has already gone ahead. We just need to protect the Snow Country.”
For them, it is not an opponent that is difficult to deal with.
The real key lies in the monsters.
These stone soldiers seem to attack fiercely and loudly, but they are just smoke bombs thrown by the monsters to divert attention.
If the monsters cannot be sealed, even if more stone soldiers are dealt with, it will be useless.
………………
In the border cave of the Rain Country.
Kakashi looked at Neci who was silent, and leaned his head towards Might Guy beside him: “Ningci seems to have become much stronger during this period.”
“Hahaha, that’s… cough cough.”
Under Kakashi’s helpless gaze, Kai lowered his voice a little embarrassedly, and smiled proudly: “He is a genius whose talent is not inferior to yours!”
What’s more, Neci’s desperateness is no less than that of Rock Lee.
“Ah, yes, yes, yes.” Kakashi responded with half-opened dead fish eyes, then lowered his head and said nothing more.
After resting in the Rain Country for a while, the few people successfully crossed the Bird Country and the Bear Country and stepped into the territory of the Ghost Country.
When they thought everything was going well and they would soon see the witch.
But they never thought that when they passed through the jungle, the view in front of them suddenly became clear.
The sky above suddenly became gloomy.
The previous moment was still clear, and the next moment it was covered by dark clouds.
“This?!”
Several people subconsciously stopped their steps and looked at the originally flat and empty open space in a daze.
Tall stone soldiers holding stone blades stood there, letting the wind blow, standing still, rendering the atmosphere of the entire open space dead and weird.
Seeing that these stone soldiers were still sleeping, Kakashi quickly made a gesture, indicating that the few people should keep quiet.
But at this moment,
Crack, crack, crack…
Hundreds of stone soldiers raised their heads at the same time, and scarlet light lit up in their empty eye sockets.
They looked straight at the location where Kakashi and others were.
“Have we been discovered?” Kakashi reacted immediately.
He aimed at a stone soldier and shot the kunai with a detonating tag tied to his hand.
The other people also reacted and used their own methods to attack the stone soldiers from a distance.
Ding, clang, clang! Boom, boom, boom! !
The kunai was bounced off the body of the stone soldier, and some sparks appeared as if it hit steel.
Then the detonating tag burned, and the flames produced by the detonation appeared instantly, and the smoke and dust in the sky slowly rose with a loud noise.
It swallowed several stone soldiers around.
However, when the flames and smoke dissipated.
The stone soldiers only had some traces of wear and tear, and their extremely hard bodies were completely intact.
Among the attacks of the others, only Kai kicked one to pieces with his physical skills.
But in a flash, those shattered stone soldiers stood up again.
There were not just one or two stone soldiers like this, but hundreds of them.
“Damn it!”
Kai retreated suddenly, panting and shouting, “These ghosts are simply invincible!”
Seeing the broken stone soldiers restored to their original state, Kakashi’s brows twisted into a ball.
“Special puppet soldiers made of hard rocks, it seems that this is the ghost army controlled by the monster.”
No wonder even the third generation Hokage said that monsters are very difficult to deal with.
These stone soldiers are invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire, and even detonating talismans can hardly pose a fatal threat to them.
If the ninjas of the five major countries fight them head-on, even if they win, it will definitely be a tragic victory with heavy casualties.
Kakakaka!
Those stone soldiers also moved stiffly, raising the stone blades in their hands to make a throwing motion.
The next second.
The stone blades were projected towards Kakashi and others like a net.
Kakashi’s pupils suddenly shrank.
“Retreat!”
Boom boom boom!!
The already heavy stone blade fell with terrifying force.
The trees behind fell instantly, causing a series of roars.
The power of this attack was even more terrifying than the detonating talisman.
Fortunately, these stone soldiers were clumsy and had no wisdom or rationality.
They could only throw the stone blades from the sky with stiff movements.
Although they could not win in a head-on battle, they could barely cope with the stone blades’ projectile attacks with their physical skills.
The figures of several people shuttled quickly in the woods, constantly dodging the stone blades thrown at them.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were just a bunch of puppets without souls.
“Don’t bother with them anymore.”
Kakashi frowned and ordered: “There’s no need to waste time on these puppets. Let’s go to the Kingdom of Ghosts and see the witch first!”
The fundamental way to deal with these stone soldiers is to find the magician who controls them behind the scenes.
“Okay!”
Several people nodded and began to go deep into the woods, bypassing these slow-moving stone soldiers, crossing the hinterland of the Kingdom of Ghosts and rushing towards the west of the Kingdom of Ghosts.
And all along the way in the Kingdom of Ghosts, all the stone soldiers were wreaking havoc.
If the stone soldiers at the border of the Kingdom of Ghosts were guarding, then these stone soldiers were invading the surrounding countries.
It seems that the ghosts should not have escaped the seal yet.
That can only be the “Yellow Springs Cult” that worships the ghosts.
However, Kakashi and his companions did not stop.
Instead of wasting time entangled with these unkillable puppets, it is better to meet up with the witch of the Ghost Country as soon as possible, find the location of the Yellow Spring Cult and then destroy it.
After a period of trekking, the few people finally bypassed the Ghost Country and approached the western border of the Ghost Country again.
“Wait a minute!”
Kakashi frowned and suddenly stopped.
Immediately, he took out a small telescope from the ninja bag.
Following the abnormal vibration of the ground, he looked across the border of the Ghost Country.
Even from a distance, you can see the tall wall on the border of the Snow Country.
From the neat concrete ground and environment, you can also imagine the living standards of the residents there.
“The economic power is really strong.”
Kakashi’s first thought about the Snow Country is that it is rich and powerful.
Even the towns on the border of the country have set up flat roads.
Could it be that they have paved roads in all towns?
How much money does this require… Kakashi dare not imagine it.
However, at this time, a group of stone statues were slowly walking towards the Snow Country, and it seemed that they were invading the border of the Snow Country.
The entire sky above the Snow Country was set off in orange-red.
Even at such a long distance, Kakashi could faintly feel a wave of heat.
However, due to the obstruction of the tall trees, he could not see what was happening.
“What’s going on over there? Is it a fire escape ninjutsu?”
Kakashi looked puzzled and muttered to himself: “It seems that the defense line has not been broken, but…”
Can the Snow Country still use fire escape ninjutsu of this scale?
Even if it is a joint ninjutsu, it is worth noting.
“Kakashi.”
Might Guy came up and asked curiously: “What happened over there?”
