Chapter 936: , Who Can Say Clearly?

In the lake, under the personal leadership of the Takinin leader, the elite of the Takinin were all gathered here.

At this moment, the actions of both sides were unexpectedly synchronized.

The Takinin in the lake were also using sensory ninjutsu to perceive the movements of the Iwa-nin on the periphery.

"Leader, they are approaching, it's the Iwa-nin's main force!"

A Takinin who was good at sensing reported to the Takinin leader with a nervous face.

But with his sensory ability, he certainly could not compare with Bunja, so he could only manage to vaguely perceive the arrival of the other side.

But how many people came, and from which direction the other side would launch an attack, he knew nothing about it.

"Understood."

Hearing this, a hint of solemnity flashed across the Takinin leader's face, but his performance could still be considered relatively calm.

"Don't be anxious, wait until the other side approaches and then fight, rely on the Waterfall Lake's..."

The Takinin leader talked eloquently, and there was quite a bit of a general's style in his words. But before he could finish his words, dull and low echoes began to echo in everyone's ears constantly.

This sound was as if a monster with terrifying tonnage was slowly approaching with its footsteps at this moment.

"This is..."

The Takinin leader was suddenly a bit speechless, his face suddenly a bit panicked.

He couldn't wait to surface from the water and saw a scene that made him somewhat horrified.

Because he saw: the "mountain" moved!

840..

A breeze blew quietly over the originally calm and waveless lake surface, quietly setting off some ripples.

But suddenly, the calm and waveless lake surface began to ripple, until these ripples spread into waves and angry surges, causing the entire Waterfall Lake to seem to be trembling violently, and the lake surface set off endless waves.

A huge earth mountain seemed to have grown legs at this moment, and it was constantly moving toward Waterfall Lake!

This scene of mountains shifting and rivers overturning, unless seen with one's own eyes, ordinary people would absolutely be unable to understand the shock they would feel when facing such a scene.

Before the Takinin in the lake could be horrified, one wave had not yet subsided when another rose.

"Leader, look quickly!!!"

A Takinin patted the Takinin leader's shoulder urgently, signaling him to look behind.

The Takinin leader turned around, and the look of fear in his eyes intensified.

Because on the north and south sides of Waterfall Lake, there were actually two overturned earth mountains moving horizontally toward Waterfall Lake!!!

The two earth mountains on the left and right, like the hands of the Earth God, seemed to be about to slap the thousands of Takinin in the lake to the bottom of the lake in an instant.

Earth Style. Earth Mountain Jutsu!!

This move, even among all the cluster ninjutsu of Iwagakure, was enough to be called famous.

Especially under the simultaneous execution of multiple Iwa-nin, it was not an exaggeration to describe this move as "mountains and rivers overturning."

Iwagakure's purpose was already very clear: you don't want to use the water system of Waterfall Lake to resist stubbornly? Fine, I'll directly fill the lake with the Earth Mountain Jutsu, forcing you to come out and confront me head-on.

In an instant, the Takinin leader was desperate.

Facing this great power of moving mountains and filling seas, he felt incomparably bewildered in his heart. How could this still be fought?

In the situation where the Iwa-nin's opening move was a "King Bomb," the Takinin's will to fight had already been disintegrated instantly, and the subsequent battle process did not need to be mentioned.

Several hours later, the extremely disheveled Takinin leader, with the remaining soldiers and defeated generals beside him, was fleeing desperately toward the direction of the Takinin Village.

This group of people looked extremely disheveled at this moment, throwing away helmets and armor was the norm, and one of them even lost his shoes while running.

Although this Takinin leader was indecisive, he still had some means after all. While retreating, he gathered the retreating Takinin. By the time they fled to the Waterfall of Waterfalls, more than a thousand retreating Takinin had already gathered beside him.

The sun was setting, time was twilight, and the Takinin leader's face carried a somewhat numb expression.

He never expected that the resistance gathering all the power of the Takinin would eventually lead to such a tragic failure.

Over four thousand Takinin, after one battle, only a thousand-plus remained. Such a defeat was probably second only to the annihilation of the entire army.

If the Takinin leader still had a glimmer of lucky psychology before, then this bleak reality at this moment was undoubtedly equivalent to a slap directly and fiercely on his face.

Thinking of this, this Takinin leader, who had the titles of "Overlord of a Small Nation" and "Uncrowned King," couldn't help but shed tears of regret.

In a trance, he seemed to recall everything that happened on the battlefield again.

For a time, his body trembled slightly, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes.

Mountains collapsed, rivers flowed backward.

The vast Waterfall Lake, under the overturning of two huge earth mountains, instantly flooded and became a disaster. Large areas of the lake were occupied by mud and gravel, and some Takinin hiding in the lake were instantly crushed to pieces.

Afterward, countless Iwa-nin suddenly killed their way out. The Takinin, who were caught off guard, were almost routed at the first touch. Even he, the leader, had no will to fight after releasing a few ninjutsu, and collapsed and retreated.

The remaining time was basically the time for the Takinin to constantly flee and be hunted down.

In general, the gap in combat power between the Takinin and the Iwa-nin objectively existed and could not be bridged, but the reason why the Takinin lost so miserably also had a lot to do with the Takinin leader's improper command.

One must know that even the Cloud-nin, who were also one of the Five Great Nations and occupied an advantage in attributes, would try their best to avoid head-on confrontation with the Iwa-nin in the early stages of their previous battles with the Iwa-nin.

The Takinin's idea of defending by the lake was not wrong, but the mistake was that the Takinin wrongly estimated the Iwa-nin's ability and the strategy of all-out defense.

As the saying goes, soldiers come to block, water comes to earth to cover. When the Iwa-nin confronted the Takinin, they already occupied a huge advantage in attributes.

With the Takinin's combat power, how could they fight head-on with the Iwa-nin on the battlefield?

Being routed in one battle was also a matter of course.

And facts also proved that commanding large-scale ninja battles was not within the ability range of this Takinin leader.

In fact, although the Ninja World was vast, there were not many who possessed the ability to command large-scale ninja battles.

Nothing else, the ninja's battle was fundamentally very different from ordinary battles, and the Takinin had never experienced any decent major battles before, so it was naturally normal for this Takinin leader not to understand strategic command.

Perhaps it was because he had "no face to see the elders of Jiangdong" after a major defeat, or he was directly hit hard in his spirit by one battle and completely lost his confidence.

The Takinin leader did not rush to return to the Takinin Village, but stopped in front of the Waterfall of Waterfalls and did not move.

As the sky turned completely dark, the Takinin side received one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.

The good news was that after winning the battle, the Iwa-nin did not choose to continue the forced march overnight like the previous few days.

This meant that the Takinin side had an extra night to linger on their last breath.

The bad news was that if there were no accidents, the Iwa-nin army, which had experienced a round of rest tomorrow, would still mercilessly step through the gate of the Takinin Village.

Regardless, this news still made the hearts of the remaining Takinin, who were panicked and uneasy, slightly settle down.

At the same time, other Takinin who had been routed and fled on the battlefield also gradually gathered more and more at the Waterfall of Waterfalls. Finally, combined with the routed Takinin gathered by the Takinin leader at the beginning, there were actually two thousand again.

That is to say, in the Battle of Waterfall Lake, the actual number of people lost by the Takinin was actually more than two thousand.

And as for whether these two thousand-plus people were truly killed in battle, or seeing that the Takinin building was about to collapse and knowing that it was impossible to save the situation, they simply did not do it and fled the battlefield, escaping into the dark side of the Ninja World and becoming rogue ninjas, who could say clearly? ===== CHAPTER 938 =====
