Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu - Chapter 327: Kannabi Bridge
At the border.
After the Yellow Flash left, the leaders Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces discussed and decided to clean up the battlefield first, and then they send their companions, who were seriously injured and unable to participate in the battle, to a safe place, and then go to Kannabi Bridge to support Minato!
Kanpū picked up a dozen corpses of Iwagakure’s Shinobi among the crowd, and his mood was a bit complicated and sour at this moment.
‘According to the plot, after Minato supports the frontline, the next step is to use Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to Kakashi’s location.’
‘In other words, Obito was almost buried alive at this time.’
Kanpū didn’t know why he rushed over in a hurry just now and asked Minato to wait. If Minato really waited, what would he say?
‘Ask Minato take me to find Kakashi, and then use the Subterranean Voyage to enter the ground to save Obito? What if I meet Madara and Zetsu? But I can also let my shadow clone to enter the ground, but I don’t have enough Chakra for that, and it may take two minutes to refine the Chakra, but in these two minutes, maybe Obito would have been taken away by Madara and Zetsu.’
‘Who knows?’
Kanpū shook his head. Since Minato is gone now, it was meaningless for him to think about it.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces immediately withdraw from the border, and send the sent the seriously injured Shinobi who could no longer participate in the battle, to Peppa and the other seriously injured Shinobi, and then turned around and entered the Land of Grass, then head towards Kannabi Bridge!
If it was before, the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces would never dare to be so reckless, but since there is Yellow Flash in the lead, what else is there to be afraid of?
Not long after crossing the border, the traces of the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces were discovered by the Sensor Shinobi of the Iwagakure’s army.
”
”
The large Iwagakure’s Shinobi army that were disbanded before have regrouped now, and the small Iwagakure’s Shinobi army lurking in the rest of the border have also been summoned to form an army of 700-800 Iwagakure’s Shinobi, but because they are afraid of the Yellow Flash, they did not dare to approach, and only followed from a distance. They used Earth Release Ninjutsu from time to time, and at the same time, dispatched Sensor Shinobi to detect whether Yellow Flash was in the allied forces.
The Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces were relieved when they saw Iwagakure’s Shinobi army did not directly attack them. At this time, Yellow Flash was not with them, so if they chose to attack, it would not benefit them at all. They had a clear goal, so they can’t fight against Iwagakure’s Shinobi army recklessly.
Because of that, the allied forces immediately accelerated their advance. Taking advantage of the complex terrain of the dense forest to break it the enemies, they marched straight towards the Kannabi Bridge.
There is no lack of smart people in Iwagakure’s Shinobi army, so when they noticed the weirdness of the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces, they looked at the map of Land of Grass, and immediately panicked.
“Their goal is the Kannabi Bridge!”
“Does the Yellow Flash appear here because of Kannabi Bridge?”
“What should we do?”
Kannabi Bridge is the logistics supply route for Iwagakure’s Shinobi, so there are Iwagakure’s Shinobi guarding it, but in front of Yellow Flash, those people are simply just decorations.
“Do we still have to support?”
They have already experienced the horror of the Yellow Flash, so whether to support their companions or not is a huge test for them!
If they go, they are likely to die in the hands of Yellow Flash. But if they don’t, how can they replenish their logistics?
In the battle just now, not only 100 people from Iwagakure’s Shinobi army were killed, there are also more than 100 people who are injured.
When someone is injured, they must be treated. Various hemostatic drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, disinfectants, and medical bandages must be used continuously.
People who are not injured also need to replenish their physical strength quickly, and since they have no time to cook, they can only eat military ration pills.
They also needed to use a large number of Ninja Tools like Explosive Tag, kunai, shuriken, etc.
Although they haven’t run out of supplies yet, if there are two more battles like this, they would have more wounded people and the medicines alone are enough to bring down the entire Iwagakure’s Shinobi army!
“Support!!”
After Takuya’s death, several high-level members of the Iwagakure’s Shinobi army discussed together and made a decision!
At the same time, they also sent people to pass the information here to the Iwagakure’s Shinobi frontline main camp in the Land of Rain, and then the camp passed it back to Iwagakure!
…
On the other side, just as Kanpū expected, when Minato used Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to Kakashi’s side, it happened to be the critical moment when Kakashi was facing the attack of Iwagakure’s Shinobi.
Although Minato has just appeared here, his extremely fast neural reflex allows him to immediately judge the situation, and directly kill several Iwagakure’s Shinobi who besieged Kakashi at very fast speed!
“Minato-sensei…” Kakashi looked at Minato with mixed emotions like joy and sadness in his eyes, and then passed out as his eyes rolled back.
‘Sharingan…’
Minato looked at the Kakashi’s slowly closing left eye, and was inexplicably shocked.
‘What is going on here?’
‘Why does Kakashi have Sharingan?!’
‘Could it be… Obito?’
‘That’s right, what about Obito and Rin?’
Minato looked around and found Rin is unconscious on the ground not far away.
As for Obito… he disappeared.
Minato was worried that Iwagakure’s Shinobi would come to support the people he killed, so he immediately held Kakashi and Rin with one hand each and left that place.
Half a day later, Rin woke up, and Minato finally learned that Obito was struck by a huge rock in order to save Kakashi, and then was buried in the ground by the Iwagakure’s Shinobi with Earth Release: Rock Lodging Destruction.
It was night when Kakashi finally woke up. After ‘confirming’ the news of Obito’s death, his expression became even more downcast and helpless.
Although Minato tried to cheer him up, the effect was not great.
The next day, the group of three returned to the place where Obito was buried alive. Unfortunately, none of the three had Earth Release Ninjutsu that could break open the ground, so they simply erected a wooden tomb for Obito.
After that, the three continued to set off to the Kannabi Bridge.
At the same time, the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces have also rushed to the proximity of Kannabi Bridge.
The Kannabi Bridge is very spectacular. It is 20 meters wide and several hundred meters long, and it is supported by dozens of stone pillars. Kanpū quietly glanced down and found that there is a gap of few dozen meters between the Kannabi Bridge and the river under the bridge.
At the same time, the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces also discovered the Iwagakure’s Shinobi guarding the Kannabi Bridge.
There are not many Iwagakure’s Shinobi, only a dozen or so. Because of that, everyone is clamoring kill them directly and blow up the Kannabi Bridge.
Kanpū jumped out to stop them at that time.
The strategic significance of Kannabi Bridge is great, and it must be blown up by Minato to have the greatest effect!
Although Kanpū does not understand why Kannabi Bridge is of strategic significance, this does not hinder him.
“Everyone, the Iwagakure’s Shinobi army has been harassing from behind us. If we go out and blow up the Kannabi Bridge, they will definitely stop us with all their strength, so it’s too risky to take action at this time! I suggest we wait for Yellow Flash to arrive, at that time, it’s not too late to take action!” Kanpū said righteously, and gently persuaded the allied forces’ Shinobi.
When Konoha and Kusagakure’s Shinobi heard this, they all thought it made sense. If Iwagakure’s Shinobi army went crazy, they would definitely not be able to hold them back. Because of that, they immediately lay in ambush and waited for Yellow Flash.
The sun went up to the middle, and gradually set in the west. The Konoha and the Kusagakure’s allied forces waited for a few hours without seeing Minato’s silhouette. Instead, the Iwagakure’s Shinobi army discovered them first. At this time, the Iwagakure’s Shinobi army has already knew that the goal of the allied forces is Kannabi Bridge, so even if the Yellow Flash is really hidden among the allied forces, they have to bit the bullet. At this moment, the battle between the two sides instantly heated up.
Kanpū’s face became a bit dark, and he feels like he was deceiving his teammates.
Fortunately, the Yellow Flash will appear at any time, so the morale of the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces is at all-time high. In contrast, Iwagakure’s Shinobi are afraid, and always reserve their strength so that they can run at any time, not daring to go all out.
The two sides fought fiercely at the Kannabi Bridge for about half an hour. Even though Iwagakure’s Shinobi ‘make concessions’, their number far exceeded that of the allied forces and they also have rich combat experience, so the scales of victory is still tilted towards the Iwagakure’s Shinobi army in the end.
Kanpū was mixed in the crowd, and he’s constantly using Extraordinary Strength + Kusanagi Sword to kill the enemies, but he could only kill one person at a time, so how could he stop the attack of 700-800 Iwagakure’s Shinobi?
Furthermore, after half an hour of fierce battle, the Yellow Flash still did not appear, so the Iwagakure’s Shinobi began to stop holding back, and the casualties on the allied forces’ side increased instantly.
When the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces could not hold the attack of Iwagakure’s Shinobi anymore, they retreated while fighting, planning to withdraw from Kannabi Bridge first, but at this time, Minato finally arrived with Kakashi and Rin.
