After finishing off the rebels with thunder, Simu officially announced his arrival in the Land of Earth.
To command this battle, Lu Jiu was also recruited by Simu.
After all, Simu himself has no concept of large-scale warfare.
Lu Jiu had grown a lot since the previous battle on Kikyo Mountain. He had been learning all kinds of combat knowledge from his father, and now it was the perfect time to test his abilities.
Before the battle, Simu summoned all the Konoha executives for this operation.
Simu, as the general, was the leader.
Minato and Kato Dan were his lieutenants.
Lu Jiu served as the military advisor.
At this time, Lu Jiu was pointing at the map and said:
"According to the information collected by the Anbu, there are at least 3,000 Rock Shinobi gathering in the Land of Grass."
"What we need to do now is take down the Land of Grass as quickly as possible before the Land of Earth reacts."
Minato stared at the map, frowning slightly.
"After all, we've traveled a long distance, and it may be disadvantageous to start a war rashly."
"If I remember correctly, Konoha's supply troops haven't arrived on the battlefield yet. If we're delayed in the Land of Grass, the situation could become very passive."
Because it happened suddenly, the ninja forces led by Simu arrived at the battlefield with only enough supplies for half a month. The follow-up supply troops hadn't set off yet.
Hearing this, Lu Jiu didn't speak. Instead, he turned his attention to the coach this time, Hanyu, who was sharing the same bed.
Simu pushed up his glasses.
"Minato, this time we have no supplies."
"What?" Minato and Kato Dan instantly became serious, their faces filled with disbelief.
Without supplies, how are they supposed to defeat a large country with only half a month's worth of food?
Simu explained calmly:
"Konoha's material reserves are depleted, and it's not enough to sustain a full-scale war. Third Generation wants us to make a quick decision."
Given the bad relationship between Konoha and the Fire Country's Daimyo these past years, Minato and the others' expressions turned serious.
"What are you going to do?" Kato Dan asked seriously.
Simu didn't speak.
Instead, Lu Jiu spoke up:
"Be proactive."
He stretched out his finger and pointed to the Land of Grass on the map.
"We have two sharp long knives, Simu and Minato. We can completely wipe out the 3,000 ninjas in the Land of Grass before Rock Shinobi Village reacts."
Lu Jiu's finger crossed over the Land of Grass and landed on a bridge in the Land of Earth.
"This is called the Kannabi Bridge, and it's where Rock Shinobi will deploy troops to the Land of Grass. As long as we blow it up..."
"Then here..." He drew a large circle, including the entire territory of the Land of Grass and the border of the Land of Earth.
"There are a total of 6,000 Rock Shinobi troops here. It's like catching them in a trap."
Everyone looked at Lu Jiu with faint admiration in their eyes.
Unexpectedly, this young man had come up with such a... bold strategy.
Although there were great risks, if it succeeded, it would deal a serious blow to Rock Shinobi's morale.
"I'll take on the task of destroying the Kannabi Bridge," Minato volunteered.
Simu looked at the bridge on the map, thoughtfully.
If he remembered correctly, in the original story, Obito was ambushed and almost died here, only to be taken away by White Zetsu...
That being the case, he naturally couldn't let Uchiha Madara's plan succeed.
Simu looked at Minato and said seriously:
"Let me go."
Lu Jiu immediately objected. "Simu, you are the main general this time. If anything happens to you..."
Simu waved his hand.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful."
"The god isn't as big as the Biqiao. It's impossible for Minato to destroy it alone. Only my technique can do it."
These words instantly silenced everyone.
The Kannabi Bridge was different from the Nagawa Bridge on Mount Kikyo.
The entire bridge was built by Rock Shinobi using the strongest ninjas from Rock Shinobi Village.
It was not so much a bridge as a huge mountain lying across a canyon.
In the original story, Konoha paid the price of an entire army to destroy the Kannabi Bridge before they finally succeeded.
Simu, however, didn't need such a large force.
As long as he sneaked into the right position, a [big nuclear jade] could solve the problem.
No one was better suited for this task than Simu.
While everyone was still hesitating, Tong Mu made the final decision.
"That's the plan. Everyone, hurry down and prepare for tonight's raid on the Land of Grass."
Night fell.
Between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, life in the Land of Grass was also difficult.
At this time, the leader of Kusanagi Village, named Jiichiro, stood on the commanding heights of the village, looking worried.
"Is Chief Kiichiro worried about the Konoha troops arriving today?"
A Rock Shinobi suddenly appeared behind Jiichiro.
It was Rock Shinobi Village's leader for this war, East Dead.
He was also the character who had been cornered by Konoha forces in the original Vice Admiral.
"I heard that the traitors have been wiped out?" Kiichiro asked suddenly.
Dong Siren nodded, his tone a bit disdainful.
"They're just a bunch of rabble. If Konoha can't even deal with them, it would be really surprising."
Jiichiro looked at Dong Shiren and asked seriously:
"Is Mr. East Dead confident in this mission?"
The latter answered without hesitation:
"If Rock Shinobi Village and Konoha face off one-on-one, Rock Shinobi Village will definitely lose."
"However, Konoha's Golden Flash just killed the Kazekage of the Land of Wind two years ago. Do you think they'll stand by now?"
"No matter how powerful Konoha is, they can't withstand the pincer attack of two great powers at the same time."
Dong Siren didn't say anything more.
His eyes scanned the night, falling on the huge raised earthen platforms and city walls scattered everywhere.
To prepare for this war, the ninjas of Rock Shinobi Village had built a solid defense system in the Land of Grass.
Earth platforms tens of meters high extended out from the ground.
Each platform was connected by thick walls.
If the enemy wanted to attack Kusanagi Village, they'd have to cross these walls or earth platforms.
But as soon as someone came into contact with these earth platforms, it would immediately attract the attention of Rock Shinobi, leading to a deadly strike.
To make a quick decision, Tong Mu didn't push all the troops at once.
Instead, the most elite 2,000 troops were drawn to lurk into the Land of Grass.
"It's really terrifying. Is this the most prized Earth Platform Technique in Rock Shinobi Village?"
Simu put his hands in his pockets, and next to him was a two-meter-high mace stuck in the ground.
Lu Jiu stood beside Simu and said:
"These earth platforms are like nodes. As long as Rock Shinobi injects Chakra into the platforms, these walls can continuously regenerate."
Simu nodded slightly.
"You mean, you want me to destroy these earth platforms all at once, right?"
Lu Jiu smiled. "That's right."
If these earth platforms are not destroyed, the trapped Konoha troops will rush forward and face another earth wall.
In the end, they would be trapped in the northwest under this endless wall.
There are a total of twelve earthen platforms arranged around Kusanagi Village.
Simu took a deep breath.
Observation Haki spread out like a net.
Finally, he found the most suitable path...
On this straight line, there are six platforms in total.
"You're the one."
Simu let out a breath, and thunder flashed around his body.
He firmly grasped the mace with his palm.
A loud roar instantly resounded throughout the night sky.
The thick purple lightning fell from the sky, tamed by Simu's side like a python.
The mace was wrapped in Simu's most powerful Haki.
He pointed in the direction of Kusanagi Village and swung the mace in his hand like a baseball player.
Flashing thunder wrapped around Armament Haki and surged out!
"Overlord!"
The entire night sky was instantly illuminated by dark purple lightning!
When the first thunder sounded, the ninjas on the platform had already noticed something was wrong.
But they were still too slow.
A huge thunderbolt surged out from the distant forest.
Like a scourge, it gathered into a wave of energy and crashed into Rock Shinobi's defense line.
"Enemy attack!"
These ninjas roared with all their might.
Then they used Earth Style ninjutsu to manipulate the ground.
A dense wall rose from the earth platform, trying to stop this terrifying attack.
But this combined blow from the Two Four Emperors of Another World was something these low-ranking Rock Shinobi couldn't block.
The huge shockwave easily crushed these walls.
Even the speed didn't slow down in the slightest.
Until it heavily bombarded the earth platform in the middle of the attack!
"Boom!"
Lightning swallowed the entire platform.
In the thunder's light, the black soil platform gradually turned into a shadow and disappeared.
Then came the second, third, and fourth!
In the end, this terrifying impact only barely weakened after destroying five earthen platforms.
"Damn guy."
There was flickering lightning on Dong Shiren's face.
He stood on the last earthen platform in Simu's attack path, hands in seals, shouting coldly:
"Earth Style · Tudingshan!"
A solid mountain of rock quickly rose from the ground.
Finally, it blocked the raging thunder...
Between Dong Shiren and Simu, a huge ravine appeared, thousands of meters long and 50 to 60 meters wide.
In the middle of the ravine were five dilapidated earth platforms.
Rock Shinobi worked hard to build the earth platform technique, but it was smashed in half in a single encounter.
This made Dong Shiren tremble with anger.
At this moment, the two thousand Konoha Shinobi hidden in the woods did not have to wait any longer.
Following Simu's order, they rushed to the battlefield in a mighty manner.
In an instant, all kinds of ninjutsu flew across the battlefield.
And Rock Shinobi's most famous defense line had already been torn apart by Simu first.
Although it could be recovered, it would take time.
For now, these Rock Shinobi ninjas could only use Earth Style ninjutsu to resist Konoha's attack.
"Summoning Technique!"
In the center of the battlefield, two huge summoning beasts appeared.
As before, one was Katsuyu Sen, who was used to assist.
It quickly split into countless small slugs and fell on the shoulders of each Konoha Shinobi to heal their wounds.
The other was the two-tailed Matatabi.
"Capture the thief first, capture the king. Let's go, Erwei!"
"Received!"
Its four legs gathered power on the ground.
Then, it soared into the sky with a bang.
Under everyone's shocked gaze, it landed directly in the center of Kusanagi Village!
"You grandpa, Hanyu Simu, drive here!"
Simu jumped off Erwei.
Then the terrifying mace, weighing a thousand catties, fell down!
Thunder Eight Trigrams!
A huge burst of thunder exploded from Simu's hand, and a power grid enveloped the surrounding tens of meters.
"Boom!"
The ninjas around Simu were instantly torn apart by the massive impact!
Under the bombardment of the mace, the ground shattered into countless clods, and a huge column of smoke exploded.
"Is this still Konoha's golden flash…?"
Both Rock Shinobi and Kusanagi looked at Simu in shock.
The Simu in the intelligence was already good at using light-speed escape, his speed was extremely fast, and he had a lazy personality.
What the hell was going on with this guy who's swinging around with a mace?
While they were thinking, Dong Shiren had already solved the enemy over there.
One jump, another hammer down!
Another dozen lives disappeared.
This terrible force was really daunting.
But Iwagakure's Jōnin couldn't let Simu wreak havoc like this.
"Earth Style · Huangquan Swamp!"
The ground beneath Simu's feet instantly turned into muddy water.
His feet sank into the mud, unable to move for an instant.
Another Rock Shinobi quickly formed seals.
"Earth Style · Earth Whale!"
He slapped the ground, and a huge rock surged from the earth in an instant.
It hit Simu hard like a blue whale slapping the water.
"It's really troublesome."
Arcs of electricity flickered on the mace.
Thunder Eight Trigrams!
"Boom!"
The falling stone whale was instantly crushed by Simu.
He plunged the mace into the ground, and it disappeared under the falling rock fragments.
Simu appeared behind that Rock Shinobi Jōnin.
"Have you ever been kicked by the light?"
This frivolous voice instantly scared Rock Shinobi into a cold sweat.
"Earth Style · Petrified Skin."
His body was instantly covered by gray-white rocks.
But this defense was almost useless in front of Simu.
"Light-speed kick!"
Simu kicked and disappeared in a flash.
He looked at the Rock Shinobi who were constantly approaching and said softly:
"It's getting late, it's almost time to end."
