Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic

Chapter 76 Raid on the Iwagakure Stronghold

The dark combat uniforms blended into the dense shadows of the trees.

Kakashi repeated, "Quickly finish this! Move out!"

Whoosh, whoosh!

After speaking, he led Tianzang around to the left.

The plan was for him and Tenzo to create chaos first, then Yugao to assassinate from the shadows. Once all the Iwa ninja in the stronghold were exposed, Qingwu, who had the widest killing range, would then make his move.

"stop!"

Kakashi stopped two hundred meters from the base. "There's a barrier!"

Ninjas are professionals skilled in assassination, and to deal with more assassinations, some important strongholds would set up barriers to provide alarms.

Kakashi's Sharingan spun rapidly as he analyzed the weak points in the chakra barrier.

A short while later, Kakashi, who possessed all types of chakra, silently broke the barrier using Earth Release chakra.

Infiltration successful!

"Tenzo!" Kakashi shouted in a low voice.

"Understood!" Tianzang concealed his aura and approached the stronghold.

His target was the watchtower above.

Having found a suitable spot, Tenzo formed hand seals: "Wood Release: Silent Binding Technique!"

Several concealed wooden strips extended from the watchtower, binding the Iwa ninja so that he could not move at all, and his mouth and nose were also sealed with wooden strips so that he could not make a sound.

Kakashi appeared silently and finished off the two unlucky guys on the left watchtower with a kunai.

The plan is going very smoothly.

However, just as Kakashi was thinking this, the lights on the right-hand watchtower suddenly lit up: "Spy! Enemy attack!!"

The piercing alarm still went off.

Kakashi's mind raced slightly, and he realized that there must be some connection between the two watchtowers that he was unaware of.

It doesn't matter anymore, even though it didn't cause greater damage before it was discovered.

However, Kakashi did not believe that he and Qingwu, two "Jonin", would face any challenges at the first base.

"Switch to a full-scale attack!" Kakashi ordered.

Tianzang no longer concealed his presence, unleashing "Earth Release: Earth Flow Spear!"

He knows not only Wood Release, but also Earth Release and Water Release.

However, due to his young age, he has not mastered many techniques yet.

Techniques like Earth Release: Earth Flow Spear are more chakra-efficient in the current environment.

If a direct attack is launched, Tenzo's primary objective is to create chaos, while his secondary objective is to protect himself.

Kakashi, however, is different.

With his experience, he created two shadow clones, which flashed with lightning and drew the attention of most of the Iwa ninja.

"Lightning Release... is it Cloud Village?"

"Quick, it's over there!"

"There are people here too!"

Chaos erupted instantly inside the base, with people constantly running out of the underground facilities.

"Pfft!"

Xiyan also made her move.

Her stealth ability was originally the best among the four, but later... she was surpassed by Qingwu, who had mastered natural energy.

However, at this moment, the chaos within the Iwa ninja stronghold, coupled with the darkness of night, provided her with the perfect environment for an assassination.

"puff!"

Another Iwa ninja has fallen.

The graceful figure of Yugao blends into the shadows.

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

Kakashi used Earth Release to block the dense barrage of Rock Cannons.

He then created chaos while rapidly forming hand seals.

He takes a particularly long time to form this hand seal. Firstly, he is not very skilled in Water Release techniques, and he only uses the hand seal method he copied with his Sharingan.

Secondly, in such an environment, water-style techniques require more chakra.

But Kakashi still decided to use this technique.

"Rustling sound—"

The lengthy hand seals finally came to an end: "Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Kakashi spewed out a huge stream of water.

The water's target is—the stone house within the stronghold.

Kakashi didn't know how many Iwa ninja were in the underground facility, so he simply used Water Release: "Watering" to force all the Iwa ninja out completely.

The strongholds of the five great ninja villages on the border are usually divided into three types: large, medium, and small.

Small outposts are guarded by small teams of about 10 people.

The stronghold in front of us is a medium-sized supply hub, and normally it would have a defensive deployment of more than 50 ninjas.

After all, the attack on a small outpost wouldn't have been a major blow to Onoki, as the three target outposts chosen by the Third Hokage were all quite important.

"not good!"

"It's a large-scale water escape technique!"

"Use Earth Release: Earth Release!"

Earth overcomes water; this is common knowledge in the ninja world.

However, Kakashi was a Jonin-level ninja after all, and the chaotic Iwa ninja, without a Jonin-level captain, could not effectively form a combined ninjutsu to counterbalance the situation.

The technique of the Great Waterfall was successfully implemented into the stone house.

The Iwa ninja in front of the stone house began to use Earth Release to establish a defensive line, and more and more disheveled Iwa ninja ran out of the stone house door behind them.

"boom--!!"

A sudden explosion was heard, but in the heat of the moment, the Iwa ninja were forced to blow up the stone house inside the stronghold themselves.

Because the exit is too small, if we wait any longer, the Iwa ninja below will all drown.

"Follow my command!!"

The captain of the Iwagakure Jonin team at the base finally appeared.

"Combined Ninjutsu: Earth Release: Earth Flow Slash!"

With a commander in charge, the Iwa ninjas no longer fought individually; the thirty-odd Iwa ninjas joined forces and used Earth Release.

The ground in front of the stone house seemed to have been cut open, creating a huge chasm. All the water from Kakashi's Great Waterfall Technique rushed into the crack.

"ah--"

Xiyan's assassination attempts continue.

However, upon seeing the Jonin from Iwagakure appear, she quickly retreated back to Kakashi's side.

At this moment, Kakashi also stopped using Water Release techniques and was slightly out of breath.

"That's about it."

No new Iwa ninjas have appeared at the stone house. It is estimated that, including the Iwa ninjas who were killed earlier, the number of Iwa ninjas in the base is almost the same as the information.

"Who are you people?" Iwasaki asked cautiously as he directed his men to go around and block the enemy's retreat.

The people in front of me were wearing masks and did not show their headbands.

But Kakashi's large-scale ninjutsu is definitely at the Jonin level, and Jonin are not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry in the ninja world.

"Is it my turn to perform?"

A flippant voice came from above.

Iwasaki suddenly looked up and saw a dark figure standing on the watchtower.

"They should all be here," Xiyan called out, looking up.

"Attack!" Kakashi created another shadow clone and charged towards the remaining forty-odd Iwa ninja without hesitation.

"Damn it!" Iwasaki gritted his teeth, slamming his hands on the ground. "Earth Release: Rock Spear!"

Dozens of rock spears pierced out from the ground.

Kakashi was incredibly agile; the rock spear could only dodge and fall behind him.

If the deceased Suma Shi could see this, he would never believe that Kakashi, whose thigh had been pierced just a few days ago, had recovered completely.

"Wood Release: Silent Binding Technique!"

Tenzo continued to use disruptive ninjutsu.

Yugao then disappeared into the shadows once more.

However, she wouldn't dare to make a move unless the Iwa ninjas were scattered.

"Ninja Art: Summoning Technique!"

With a loud shout, Qingwu summoned a number of combat dwarves that rivaled the number of Iwa ninjas.

Then, the intermediate-level air magic [Protective Shield] was used.

A shield mark appeared on each of the battle dwarves, and magic instantly spread into a layer of cyan-green light barrier.

At the same time, the combined ninjutsu of the Iwa ninja forces arrived.

"Earth Release: Multiple Rock Gun Technique!"
