Chapter 84
Kitsuchi-sama, our 30,000-strong Iwa Shinobi army has been devastated by those two men. We're down to only about 10,000 troops left.
What?!
Two men directly wiped out 20,000 Iwa Shinobi?
This is a one-against-ten-thousand scenario. What exactly are their bodies made of? Even an ox would tire after such a battle!
From the very start of our assault, the reports have been nothing but grim. Every attempt, every strategy, has been utterly crushed.
The ambush set by eight hundred elite Iwa Shinobi? Useless. The thousand-strong assault force? Obliterated. The five-thousand-strong encirclement, supported by synchronized ninjutsu attacks? Not even a scratch on either the Third Raikage or the other man.
Kitsuchi, stationed at the command post, had already exhausted every conceivable tactic. Nothing worked. More than 20,000 of their forces lost, yet not a single wound could be found on the two enemy combatants.
Was this even possible? Were these two truly human?
The Third Raikage's strength was undeniable. He carried the titles of both the strongest spear and the strongest shield. Kitsuchi had planned for heavy casualties but had hoped to trade lives for his. If they could bring down the Third Raikage, it would send a shockwave across the ninja world.
The last time a Kage fell in battle was during the First Great Ninja War, when multiple village leaders perished. If Iwa could claim the Third Raikage's life, the other nations would learn to fear them.
And if nothing else worked? Kitsuchi was prepared to drown the Raikage in sheer numbers, exhausting him to death. But what he hadn't accounted for... was the other man.
