Chapter 328: A silent attack

On the other side, Hoshigaki Kisame, leading the elites of the White Shark unit, crossed the border between the Land of Iron and the Land of Moon almost without encountering any obstruction and entered the territory of the Land of Moon.

In the "neutral country" of the Land of Iron, the Rock ninja did not take any active defense, but only symbolically left a few guard posts to keep watch.

These few guard posts were like decorations in front of Hoshigaki Kisame.

After all, with the help of the ninja cats, dealing with a few guard posts was simply a piece of cake.

Speak!

As natural hunters, the ninja cats were best at searching for prey.

And for the caught-off-guard Rock ninja, who would care about a few "harmless" little cats?

After all, cats are so cute, how can you hit them?

And so, Hoshigaki Kisame actually led two thousand elite Mist ninja to sneak into the heart of the Rock ninja without anyone noticing!

Along the way, a tense and excited emotion permeated Hoshigaki Kisame's heart, making him feel slightly excited.

Before crossing the border, he naturally received the order from Mizunuki Ryosuke to attack freely through the ninja cats under his command, so Kisame felt that the current opportunity was a heaven-sent gift!

This timing was the perfect moment to build merit and consolidate his status as a "Mizukage confidant"!

And so, as he led the crowd to advance continuously within the territory of the Land of Moon, Hoshigaki Kisame finally made a discovery.

He looked at the camp marked with the Rock ninja symbol not far ahead and revealed a cruel smile.

The fierce fighting over the past few days had caused the number of wounded in the Rock Village to increase sharply. In order to ensure the safety of these wounded and ensure convenience during retreat,

Onoki had arranged the wounded camp in the hinterland of the Land of Moon, far away from the frontal battlefield.

At this moment, the highest-ranking ninja in the Rock ninja wounded camp—Shida Saburo—was sitting in the tent with a gloomy face, not saying a word.

Generally speaking, as long as one could become a Jonin, one already had a status above thousands in the village, and the level of status among Jonin mainly depended on three levels.

The most critical was strength, followed by status, and finally seniority.

Shida Saburo not only had strength that had reached the level of an elite Jonin, but he was also a member of the Tsuchikage's direct agency, so his status was naturally extraordinary.

And the reason why Shida Saburo appeared here was also self-evident—he was injured, and he was injured very badly.

His whole body had fractures in multiple parts, and even the hands that ninja relied on for survival were wrapped into a mummy shape at this moment.

Without hands, he could not perform hand seals to release ninjutsu, which meant that Shida Saburo had lost his combat ability in the short term, so he naturally came to this wounded camp.

Recalling what happened on the battlefield, Shida Saburo's body was trembling slightly.

He was not feeling lingering fear, but indignation!

Recalling the Rock ninja who died miserably on the battlefield, Shida Saburo only felt his whole body trembling with anger.

He was very clear that the fierce attack launched by the Rock ninja against the Cloud ninja was almost entirely a suicidal act!

In the continuous fierce attacks, the Rock ninja almost completely abandoned their own advantages and used their own weaknesses to attack the strengths of the Cloud ninja!

On the tragic battlefield, the casualties of the Rock ninja were often 1. to 2 times that of the Cloud ninja! But the Third Tsuchikage Onoki seemed to remain completely indifferent to this and still insisted on launching fierce attacks against the Cloud ninja.

Even though Shida Saburo had repeatedly remonstrated, Onoki still had no intention of withdrawing his ideas.

Because in order to avoid panic and the decline of morale, Onoki did not announce the news that the Rock Village's logistics had been cut off and that the Leaf had already taken action against the Rock Village.

Consequently, Shida Saburo could not understand Onoki's fierce attack tactics.

This made Shida Saburo furious, and later, even he himself was almost killed while fighting on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Shida became even more indignant.

He did not understand what had made the once wise Third Tsuchikage become so muddled!

Just as Shida was cursing in his heart, the commotion coming from outside the tent made him frown.

He pulled open the curtain of the tent and looked outside. The scene that met his eyes made his pupils shrink slightly.

Countless Mist ninja dressed in white ninja uniforms with shark fin-shaped shoulder armor on their shoulders attacked like a tide, surrounding this camp in an instant.

A ninja with a shark face, carrying a giant sword wrapped in white cloth, walked slowly toward Shida Saburo step by step.

Through the ferocious smile on the shark-faced ninja's cheeks, Shida Saburo seemed to have become a drowning person who had fallen into the sea, and the ninja on the opposite side was the shark about to devour him.

Hoshigaki Kisame looked around uninterestingly. The White Shark unit had broken into this wounded camp with almost no effort.

The Rock ninja wounded here not only had no combat power, but their morale was also extremely low, and they had long since lost the courage to be enemies with the Mist ninja.

Just a few moves into the battle, they had all chosen to raise their hands and surrender.

Hoshigaki Kisame, who had not enjoyed the fun of battle, was naturally dissatisfied in his heart, but since the enemy had surrendered, he could only choose to accept it helplessly and request instructions by transmitting intelligence to Mizunuki Ryosuke through the ninja cats.

This was the gathering place for all the wounded of the Rock ninja, and coupled with the intensity of the front-line battle, the number of wounded could be imagined.

There were actually more than four thousand wounded!

Dealing with such a number of prisoners, Hoshigaki Kisame naturally had to choose to report to Mizunuki Ryosuke first.
