Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu - Chapter 328: Iwagakure's Shinobi Retreat
“Sorry, I’m late.”
Looking at the fierce battle at the Kannabi Bridge, Minato whispered with a bit of self-blame, and then rushed to the bridge head of the Kannabi Bridge, and threw out a lot of Flying Thunder God Kunai with his hands.
Seeing the Flying Thunder God Kunai in the sky, the morale of the allied forces was greatly boosted, and Iwagakure’s side was panicked.
“Yellow Flash, he is here, he is here!!”
“Damn it, I know he would come, withdraw, withdraw quickly!”
“We can’t withdraw! If Kannabi Bridge is destroyed, what should we do?!”
That sentence was right, but within the range of Flying Thunder God Kunai, all Iwagakure’s Shinobi immediately left behind their opponents and fled quickly.
‘In this case, the killing efficiency will be slow.’
Minato secretly sighed, and after recovering the Flying Thunder God Kunai, he can only start killing the enemy one by one like Kanpū, but even with such method, Minato’s efficiency is still far better than Kanpū because of his terrifying speed.
Moreover, Minato’s support power is also very amazing. He only needs to throw a few Flying Thunder God Kunai over, and the Iwagakure’s Shinobi will immediately run away.
“Immediately expand the battlefield, expand the battlefield!!!” The high-level figure from Iwagakure’s side suddenly roared. They knew that as long as the battlefield is big enough, they can avoid the kunai of Yellow Flash as much as possible!
Iwagakure’s Shinobi immediately fought while leading the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces away from Yellow Flash.
But the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces are not stupid. They held the mentality of you retreat, we don’t retreat. We will fight around Minato-sama, if you have the ability, come hit me!
Crow even shouted: “Everyone, gather together!!”
When the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces heard this, they immediately left behind the Iwagakure’s Shinobi and gathered around Crow one after another, who is on Minato’s side.
“Damn it!”
“Shameless!!!”
The Iwagakure’s Shinobi paled in embarrassment. Without the “cover” of the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces, their groups of two and three are now exposed to Minato’s sight.
At this moment, Minato immediately threw Flying Thunder God Kunai at the crowd, killing dozens of Iwagakure’s Shinobi instantly.
“Doton: Doryūheki!” (Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall)
“Doton: Dochū Senkō” (Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage)
The Iwagakure’s Shinobi either run or hide, avoiding Minato’s sight.
“As expected of Minato-sensei…” When Kakashi saw this scene, a trace of admiration flashed in his eye.
When he came, he saw with his own eyes the Iwagakure’s Shinobi army crushing the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces, but as soon as Minato joined, the situation was instantly reversed!
“Kakashi!”
When Minato used Flying Thunder God Technique to behead Iwagakure’s Shinobi, he turned back and shouted loudly.
“I understand!”
Kakashi nodded, and immediately jumped off the Kannabi Bridge. He then started to put Explosive Tags below.
The Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces also knew their purpose and immediately stayed away from the Kannabi Bridge.
“Quickly stop them!!”
When Iwagakure’s Shinobi army saw this, they rushed towards Kannabi Bridge while avoiding Minato.
The Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces hurriedly stopped them.
Kanpū takes the lead. Even if Jonin is not possible, Chunin and Genin were all killed without mercy. As the time continues, there are more and more lives harvested the Kusanagi Sword.
After one minute, accompanied by a series of loud noises, Kannabi Bridge was finally blown up with a huge rumbling sound!
As soon as the Kannabi Bridge was destroyed, Iwagakure’s Shinobi army lost their fighting spirit and retreated one after another.
“We won, we won!”
“Great!”
The Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces did not pursue after the enemies, because their casualties were more than Iwagakure’s Shinobi!
After the joy of victory, the only thing left in front of the allied forces is the corpses all over the ground. Some of them are Iwagakure’s Shinobi, but most of them are their own companions!
The surviving Shinobi either healed their injuries or recovered the remains of their companions, and their excitement gradually fell.
Dove, Crow, and the leader of Kusagakure’s Shinobi are counting the dead and wounded, and their face gradually pales. After this battle, there are only a little more than one hundred Kusagakure’s Shinobi left from the three hundred Kusagakure’s Shinobi coming here, and there are only about twenty people left from Konoha’s side!
If it wasn’t for Minato, they would have all died here in this battle!
“It’s finally over.”
Kakashi stood on the stone pillar of the blown-up bridge. His eye looked sad, and it is unknown what he is looking at.
Rin stood on the broken bridgehead and looked at Kakashi’s back with dim eyes.
Next to them, Kanpū was panting heavily. He ate two military ration pills to supplement his physical strength, while also recovering the complete corpse of the Iwagakure’s Shinobi.
As for the incomplete corpse, the Collection Technique cannot be used on them.
After half an hour, everyone finally cleaned up the battlefield.
”
”
Dove, Crow and the leader of Kusagakure’s Shinobi came to Minato and asked about what to do next.
Minato pondered slightly and said: “Everyone will be stationed here!”
“Stationed?” Dove was a little surprised.
Minato nodded slightly: “Although the Kannabi Bridge has been destroyed, this river cannot stop the Iwagakure’s Shinobi, so everyone must stay here!”
Hearing this, everyone looks at each other in blank dismay. Currently, everyone has suffered heavy casualties and needs to be replenished urgently, but if they stay here, once Iwagakure’s Shinobi attacks again…
“Don’t worry, I will stay here with everyone.”
Minato seems to see their dilemma, and said with a smile.
“Really?”
“That’s great!”
Everyone was overjoyed, and immediately agreed to the matter.
Then, Minato strolled around and comforted the surviving Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces. And finally, he went to find Kanpū.
“Kanpū, in the border before, I heard you yell ‘wait’, what’s the matter?” Minato asked.
Kanpū scratched his head, opened his eyes and made up a lie: “That… it’s nothing, I just want to thank Minato-sama for saving my live.”
Minato smiled: “So that’s how it is, I thought you were in a hurry, now I feel relieved.”
Kanpū nodded repeatedly, then glanced at Kakashi, who was still standing under the stone pillar, and asked as if he didn’t know anything: “Minato-sama, what happened to Kakashi-senpai?”
Hearing Kanpū’s question, Minato sighed: “It’s because of Obito.”
“Obito?” Kanpū also sighed in his heart.
“Obito is my other student, I was a step late.”
Minato showed a sad smile, “He died.”
Kanpū immediately showed a sad expression in cooperation.
In the next few days, the Konoha and Kusagakure’s allied forces were stationed here directly. The news spread that the leader of Kusagakure, Nishida Hisao squeezed another two hundred Kusagakure’s Shinobi from the village and brought a large number of supplies as support here. With the Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato here, how can Iwagakure’s Shinobi dare to grab this strategic location?
After their supply route was cut off, the crisis of Iwagakure’s Shinobi army gradually appeared.
The first one is the medicine crisis.
During the two battles, there were hundreds of wounded in Iwagakure’s Shinobi army. Those with minor injuries were fine, as one medicine was enough to take care of them, but what about the seriously injured Shinobi?
They need to keep taking medicines and their bandages needs to be changed every day, but the medicines and supplies carried by the army are limited!
Although there are Medical-nin in the army, the number is too small. It is an utterly inadequate measure, so these people can’t be cured at all!
A few days later, some seriously injured Shinobi died one after another.
Panic spread among Iwagakure’s Shinobi army.
Right now, there are only two paths left for them. One is to attack Kusagakure, seize supplies, and then continue to fight against the Yellow Flash, and the other is to make a detour to the Land of Rain and join the frontline troops of the Land of Rain!
There is almost no need to choose. The next day, the Iwagakure’s Shinobi army left with majestic and grandiose way and headed towards the Land of Rain.
