Chapter 390: Maruboshi Kosuke's potential change

The fight lasted from early morning to dusk, until the line of sight was limited, until the ninjas of Konoha and Iwagakure exhausted all their chakra.

Onoki and Sarutobi Hiruzen, who were still in a fierce battle, had to issue an order to retreat.

This death battle led by the two "shadows" was temporarily put to an end.

The confrontation with Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to make Onoki realize one thing.

That is, it is somewhat unrealistic to completely defeat the main force headed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru, Fujiwara Tetsuya and other main combat forces with only the forces deployed by the Higashikage Village in the eastern part of the Rain Country.

In the next few days, the Higashikage Village did not launch any substantial attacks except sending dozens of elite teams to harass the Konoha camp.

Although it is clear that Ohnoki is really accumulating strength, neither Sarutobi Hiruzen nor Orochimaru... have ever thought of a good way to break the situation in the current situation.

Not to mention that the forces deployed by Konoha in the Rain Country now cannot support Konoha to take the initiative to launch an attack...

Just after Ohnoki arrived at the front line, he commanded his elite troops to build a camp with large-scale earth escape, which was enough to give Konoha a headache.

The steep terrain is definitely several times, or even dozens of times, stronger than the abandoned camp where they are currently stationed.

This is... the power of the Iwagakure Ninja Village.

...

"Are you talking about Yanagi?"

In the Konoha camp, Maruboshi Kosuke looked at the focused Fujiwara Tetsuya and was a little surprised... Why would a junior like Fujiwara Tetsuya, who is so powerful and has already entered the Kage level, be interested in the swordsmanship he created?.

"Yes, I am indeed interested in this move that combines swordsmanship and illusion that Senior Gujie has researched, and I hope Senior Gujie can agree!"

"That's nothing. Since Hiruzen has spoken, I will definitely teach you without reservation."

"But..."

At this point, Maruboshi Gujie suddenly frowned, and his two thick eyebrows were almost twisted together.

"But, you just mentioned that this move is a combination of swordsmanship and illusion..."

"Senior Gujie is worried that I am not good at illusion and it is difficult to learn... About this, you don't have to worry, it's not that I don't know illusion, I just felt that there was no need in the past, and I never showed it in front of outsiders."

Recognizing Maruboshi Gujie's hesitation, Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't help but chuckle. Before forcibly taking the first blood, his understanding of illusion might be above the level of forcibly removing illusion...

However, after getting the Sharingan and opening the Mangekyō...

Illusions are simply too simple for him.

In front of the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō, it was really ridiculous to talk about mastering illusions.

Of course, Fujiwara Tetsuya had to keep these little thoughts to himself.

"Is that so?"

"Okay, I understand. I will do my best to teach you Liu as soon as possible..."

Perhaps it was the difference in strength. Anyway... from the moment Fujiwara Tetsuya showed up, Maruboshi Kosuke used a respectful title, and even if Fujiwara Tetsuya reminded him again, there was no change.

It must be said that to some extent, Maruboshi Kosuke can definitely be called a genius.

Whether it is the structure of Liu or Maruboshi Kosuke's own swordsmanship level, it is enough to make Maruboshi Kosuke rank among the elite jonin of Konoha...

Unfortunately, the past obstacles bound Maruboshi Kosuke's heart, otherwise... stepping into the quasi-shadow level is not a difficult thing for Maruboshi Kosuke.

Under the guidance of Maruboshi Kosuke, it took Fujiwara Tetsuya only two days to master the Ryuu…

It also allowed Fujiwara Tetsuya to add another ultimate killing method in addition to the three powerful S-level sword moves of Konoha-style swordsmanship: Eighteen Holes, Konoha-style swordsmanship: Sword Slash, and Konoha-style swordsmanship: Disappearance…

The rain outside the tent kept dripping.

Tetsunobu Ryoi acted as the temporary captain of many medical ninjas in the wounded camp in the rear…

Uchiha Mikoto, after the battle that day, began to train Uzumaki Kyoji, Fujiwara Aiko and a group of little kids, and had not come to his tent for several days.

In a sense, Fujiwara Tetsuya was lonely at this time…lonely.

Just when Fujiwara Tetsuya yawned and was about to take a nap,

A member of the Anbu suddenly appeared in Fujiwara Tetsuya's field of vision...

"Master Tetsuya, Master Hokage, please come over..."

"At this time?"

"Okay, I understand..."

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen gave the position of the frontline commander to Orochimaru in order to help Orochimaru build momentum!

However, in terms of the place to stay, the tent where Sarutobi Hiruzen lived was much more spacious and orderly than the place where Orochimaru stayed.

When Fujiwara Tetsuya came to the tent... there were already many people standing inside.

In addition to Orochimaru, Mitarashi... and others, there were also Uchiha Fugaku, Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Hiashi, Kurama Yama... a group of powerful ninjas.

Sensing the gaze of Fujiwara Tetsuya, Uchiha Fugaku and several other Uchiha clan strongmen were startled and secretly lowered their eyes.

The momentum of this kid... is getting more and more terrifying.

"It seems that everyone is here..."

"Tetsuya, your strategy... is successful!"

The moment Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth... he attracted everyone's attention, because the matter of Utatane Koharu's mission to the Hidden Cloud Village was extremely secretive.

At this moment, whether it was Orochimaru or Uchiha Fugaku and others, they all had a kind of illusion of being in the clouds.

The so-called strategy? What exactly does it mean?

Why did Sarutobi Hiruzen so serious, even... his expression improved a lot?

"Koharu just sent someone to send the information that the Third Raikage has agreed to our request and is willing to send the Hidden Cloud Army...cross the sea to attack the eastern area of ​​the Land of Earth, and take the opportunity to weaken the power of the Hidden Rock Village..."

"The turning point of this war...is coming!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's explanation made everyone in the tent look at each other...the incident of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was still before their eyes.

No one could have imagined that Fujiwara Tetsuya, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Utatane Koharu would have such a big courage to bring the Hidden Cloud Village into the game?

"Teacher, although the Hidden Cloud Village was dragged into the water by us."

"But, Ohnoki is not a character that can be easily dealt with. You should have a deep understanding of this..."

"Once the Hidden Cloud Village's attack on the eastern part of the Land of Earth is confirmed, Ohnoki... will definitely be able to guess that we are the driving force behind this."

"In addition, I believe he can also see what the Hidden Cloud Village's entry means to the Hidden Cloud Village?"

"Before Ohnoki leads his troops to support the Land of Earth, he will definitely gather more combat power and launch an attack on us..."

"Teacher, we must gather more combat power to deal with the next changes."

The moment Orochimaru's voice fell, everyone felt a strong pressure coming...as if they saw the scene when the Hidden Cloud Village launched a general attack.
