Chapter 167 Technology Changes the Battlefield
Chapter 167 Technology Changes the Battlefield
During the battle between Minato and the Four-Tails, a Konoha Jonin on the battlefield calmly relayed instructions while holding a telescope in one hand and pressing a black earpiece to his ear with the other.
"Attention all team members, the Iwagakure Assault Team is attempting to flank us from the northwest."
His teammates around him did not panic and look around frantically, but quickly adjusted their formation and formed hand seals in that direction.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
The precise intelligence transmission enabled Konoha's ninjutsu to deliver a devastating, overwhelming attack.
The Iwagakure squad, which had just shown themselves, was overwhelmed by a combination of ninjutsu before they could launch a sneak attack.
This kind of combat style is not unique to this place. Some squads with members of the Hyuga clan do not need binoculars. They simply activate their Byakugan and call out points into their headsets.
On the other side of the trench, a Konoha genin, whose abdomen had been ripped open by a kunai, lay on the ground in agony.
"Don't be afraid, eat this."
The medical ninja next to him quickly took out a "painkiller" containing a clear liquid from his waist pouch, skillfully inserted it into the wounded man's arm and injected it, and then took out a bottle of light blue "clotting glue" and applied it to the wound.
"Sizzle—"
A miraculous scene unfolded. The wound, which had been bleeding profusely, was instantly sealed with the gel, stopping the bleeding and forming a protective film. The genin's face, which had been contorted in excruciating pain, quickly relaxed as the painkiller took effect, and he even gripped his weapon tightly again.
"Can you still move?"
"Yes! I can't feel the pain anymore!"
"Then stand up and keep fighting!"
This is the power of technology: radio makes command and control effortless, and first aid kits have drastically reduced the casualty rate.
Iwagakure's much-vaunted numerical advantage and explosive tactics were utterly crushed in front of Konoha.
……
The flank of the battlefield.
"Damn it! These Konoha guys are like mad dogs, we can't drive them away no matter what we do!"
Higashi Shijin, a Jonin from Iwagakure, brandished his long sword, forcing a Konoha ninja back, his face full of anxiety.
He was the deputy commander of the Iwagakure assault team, whose original mission was to cut off Konoha's retreat. But now, his troops were stuck here.
"Captain! Our explosive clay stockpile is running low! And those invisible lightning-style projectiles are terrifying; the brothers are too afraid to show their faces!"
"Shut up!"
Higashi roared, his gaze locking onto the Konoha Jonin who was directing the resistance ahead—Mimura Yoru.
"If we kill that commander, the defenses here will collapse!"
The dead man from the east secretly approached that side, and just in time, he seized the opportunity and slammed his hands on the ground.
"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"
The ground suddenly bulged up, and countless sharp rock spears, like fangs emerging from hell, slashed wildly towards the location where Mimura Yomaki was standing.
Mimura Yomi had just gone through a fierce battle and had very little chakra left.
Faced with this wide-ranging attack, he could only barely parry with his kunai, but a stone spear pierced his thigh and pinned him to the ground.
"Captain Leaf Roll!" The surrounding Konoha ninjas tried to come to the rescue, but were held back by Higashi's subordinates.
"Die, you Konoha scum!"
The Eastern Dead Man charged forward with a sinister grin, his long sword gleaming coldly, aiming straight for Mimura Yoru's head.
"Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique!"
His arm was encased in rock; if that punch landed, Mimura Yomaki would surely die.
At this critical moment.
"Buzz—"
A not-so-loud buzzing sound rang out.
The dead man in the east suddenly froze.
He felt a deadly sense of crisis coming from the side and instinctively wanted to pull back his fist to defend himself.
But it's too slow.
"Bang!"
A streak of blue and white light instantly shattered the rock armor on his arm, and the enormous kinetic energy caused his arm to snap backward, with bone fragments piercing his skin.
"ah!!!"
The dead man let out a piercing scream and staggered backward.
"Who?!"
He looked in horror toward the direction from which the attack had come.
On a towering rock, Nishikawa Tetsuya stood with one hand in his pocket and the other outstretched, the bee sting arm guard on his left arm radiating a faint warmth.
After so many improvements, coupled with the development of the chakra battery and the improvement of Nishikawa Tetsu's own physical abilities, the power of the Bee Sting has now increased significantly.
"You've got some nerve, attacking people from Konoha within my range."
Nishikawa Tetsu felt that he was underutilized in commanding the sniper squad, and that he could play a greater role on the front lines, so he handed over command to the Hyuga family.
"Nishikawa...Che?"
Despite the excruciating pain, Mimura Yoru looked at that figure.
"Is it that guy who does research?"
The dead man clutched his severed arm, gritting his teeth: "Damn it, they actually ambushed me..."
"Go! Kill him!"
At Higashi's command, the five elite Chunin from Iwagakure beside him immediately abandoned their original opponents and roared as they charged toward Nishikawa Tetsu.
"Earth Release: Rock Gun!"
Several stone projectiles whistled out.
Faced with the siege, Nishikawa Tetsu did not form any hand seals, nor did he even move his feet.
He simply raised his left hand slightly, palm facing outward.
"Magnetic repulsion field - fully open".
"Sizzle—!!!"
An invisible, powerful magnetic field instantly erupted from him.
The high-speed flying stone projectiles were unaffected, but... the kunai, longswords, and even headbands in the hands of the Iwa ninjas were all made of metal.
Under the influence of a strong magnetic field, these metals instantly generate a huge reverse repulsive force.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The two Iwa ninjas at the front felt as if their weapons had suddenly come alive, violently rebounding backward. The hilts of the swords slammed heavily into their chests, sending them flying backward and coughing up blood.
Before the other three Iwa ninja could react, they were pushed about by this invisible force, their formation thrown into chaos.
"Magnetic Release? How is that possible?!"
"Now, it's my turn."
Nishikawa Tetsu's eyes sharpened, and the indicator light on his left arm guard instantly turned red.
"Rapid Fire Mode"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Five faint whooshing sounds almost formed a line.
Five specially made electromagnetic bullets, accelerated by magnetic rails, precisely pierced the foreheads or hearts of five Iwa ninja.
They didn't even have time to scream before they fell straight down.
Sold out instantly.
"this……"
Dong Siren stared at his men, who had been wiped out in an instant, his pupils trembling violently.
No hand seals were needed, no close combat was required, and not even complicated movements were necessary. With just a wave of his hand, five elite Chunin were turned into corpses.
This overturned his understanding of ninja combat.
"What the hell is this thing...?"
Dong Siren turned around and tried to run away, using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique) to sneak underground.
"Trying to leave?"
Nishikawa Tetsu did not pursue, but calmly adjusted the knob on the arm guard, pushing the power to the maximum.
"Overload mode".
He raised his hand, even though they were dozens of meters apart, even though the dead man in the east had half his body buried in the ground.
"locking."
"Bang!!!"
This time, the gunshots were louder than before, like thunder exploding.
A thick blue beam of light instantly struck the ground.
The hard rocky ground was pierced through like tofu, and the Eastern Dead Man hidden underground let out a muffled groan before falling silent.
A bottomless black hole appeared on the ground, with wisps of smoke rising from its edges.
On the battlefield, the Iwa ninja who witnessed this scene were completely devastated.
"What kind of weapon is that?!"
"The captain is dead! Retreat!"
The Eastern Dead Army, which had been struggling to hold on, completely collapsed at this moment.
Nishikawa Tetsu jumped down from the rock, walked to Mimura Yoru's side, and took out a bottle of first aid spray to throw to him.
"Mimura-senpai, are you still able to walk?"
"Hiss... Thanks to you."
Mimura Yoru sprayed the medicine on the wound, watching the bleeding stop quickly. She then looked at the terrifying black hole in the distance, shook her head with a wry smile.
"Nishikawa, you've completely revolutionized the way ninjas fight."
"Efficiency, senior."
Moreover, the power of a bee sting can only be unleashed once in a short period of time.
The chakra batteries used by the bee stinger are small, and each battery is insufficient to release a second shot.
Although the battery can be replaced, heat dissipation is also a major problem. After being used twice in a row, the bee stinger itself will not be able to withstand the pressure and will fall apart.
Nishikawa Tetsu specially modified his Jonin vest with the latest heat-insulating material for this purpose, and his arm is still slightly hot.
He replaced the battery in the arm guard with a new one, his eyes deep as he looked at the defeated Yan Jun.
"Let's go, let's go help the others."
