Chapter 186 Watching the Battle (Ch 708711779)

Half a day later, Yi Chen followed the two people to a location about ten kilometers away from Falling Star Valley.

Looking at the small mountain range in the distance, Yi Chen decided to find a place to hide first. Hyuga Tokuhiro himself was not weak, and he must have brought enough experts with him this time, so there would definitely be a fierce battle between the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the Hyuga clan.

There was no need for me to show up so early. While Yi Chen was looking for a hiding place, Wu Li Jing Pa and Hei Chu Lei Ya also arrived at the Falling Star Valley. Xiguashan Puffer Ghost, who was in charge of this operation, just glanced at the two and did not ask why they were late.

Everyone knew that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were not convinced of each other. With the cleverness of Xiguashan Puffer Demon, he naturally knew that even if he wanted to use this matter to make things difficult for them, it would not have any effect, so he simply pretended not to know.

Hei Chu Lei Ya looked around and found that everyone was there, not only the other five of the seven people were there, but Xiguashan Puffer Demon also mobilized many jonin and elite jonin from the Mist Ninja Camp.

Knowing that he was late, Kuroko Raiga had no intention of saying anything. He simply found a relatively empty seat that was obviously reserved for him and Muri Shinpachi and sat down.

Seeing that everyone was present, the Xiguashan Puffer Ghost began to assign tasks according to the plan.

At this time, Hinata Tokuhiro was rushing towards the Falling Star Valley with dozens of his subordinates.

The ninjas led by Hyuga Norihiro are all the elites of the Hyuga clan. For such matters, Hyuga Norihiro obviously does not intend to share the credit with other ninjas.

Along the way, two ninjas from Hinata Tokuhiro’s group will open their Byakugan to conduct reconnaissance.

At this time, one of the people who was to conduct reconnaissance was Hinata Nobuhiro’s most relied upon elite jonin of the branch family, Hinata Nobuhiro.

Looking at the mountains in the distance, Hinata Nobuyuki said respectfully to Hinata Tokuhiro, “Master Patriarch, the Falling Star Valley is ahead. The terrain of the Falling Star Valley is special. If there are enemies hiding in it, it will be difficult for the White Eye to detect them. Should we take a detour?”

Hinata Tokuhiro was originally running among the crowd, but upon hearing this, he raised his head and looked forward. The moment Hinata Tokuhiro raised his head, veins in his originally calm eyes bulged.

After observing for a while with his Byakugan turned on, Hinata Tokuhiro said, “No need to go around, just go straight through the Falling Star Valley.”

After a pause, Hinata Tokuhiro added, “Nobuyuki, you lead three people and walk one hundred meters ahead of the team.”

“Yes.” Hinata Nobuyuki called two members after hearing this, and then the four of them headed towards the Falling Star Valley at a faster speed.

Hinata Norihiro looked at Hinata Shin who was gradually going away, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.

It was only when Hyuga Tokuhiro looked at the elites of the Hyuga family around him that he felt a little more relaxed. With so many ninjas around him, Hyuga Tokuhiro felt that he didn’t have to worry even if there were hundreds of Mist Ninjas lying in ambush ahead. Besides, if the Mist Ninjas really started a war and mobilized a large army, it would be impossible for him not to have heard anything.

What Hinata Tokuhiro didn’t know was that although the Mist Ninjas lying in ambush ahead were not several hundred people, but only dozens of people, about the same number as their group, the opponent’s elite level was only stronger than the ones he led.

Soon, the group entered the valley. As a scout, Hinata Nobuyuki entered the valley quickly while carefully observing the surroundings with his Byakugan.

After advancing several hundred meters, Hinata Shin arrived at the middle of the valley and still did not find any danger or ambush. But for some reason, Hinata Shin felt a chill coming from the surroundings.

“Something’s wrong.” Hinata Nobuyuki was about to signal his three subordinates to stop and check.

But it was too late. At this moment, one of the men stepped into a trap.

The trap was cleverly set, and was obviously designed to target the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, but the trap was not very effective.

Boom~~~

The sound of an explosion spread in all directions. Upon hearing the explosion, both the scouts of Hinata Nobuo’s team and the main force of Hinata Tokuhiro’s team stopped.

Hinata Nobu looked at the ninja who had just triggered the trap. The ninja was not injured and easily avoided the explosion. The explosion came very slowly, as if it was just to scare people.

But Hinata Nobuyuki quickly reacted and shouted, “Master, there is an ambush. Retreat quickly.”

Hinata Tokuhiro heard the explosion, but he didn’t understand what happened. After hearing what his trusted subordinates said, he didn’t hesitate and chose to retreat. He planned to leave from the valley entrance.

Because Hinata Norihiro had distanced himself from Hinata Nobuyuki, he was now closer to the entrance of the valley, so his first reaction was to retreat from the valley entrance.

Although ninjas can climb the mountains on both sides of the valley, if there are enemies guarding the mountains, then this behavior is tantamount to seeking death. The enemies on high ground can easily stop ninjas who attempt to rush up the mountains.

Hinata Norihiro felt that the enemy would not leave them such an obvious way to survive.

Sure enough, the members of the Hyuga clan who turned and rushed towards the valley mouth opened their white eyes, and then they saw several figures appearing on the mountains on both sides. Although there were not many people, if Hyuga Tokuhiro and his men wanted to escape from both sides, these people were enough to effectively intercept them.

Although Hyuga Tokuhiro’s reaction was not slow, the well-prepared Mist Ninja was obviously faster. In their plan, the explosion just now was the order to action.

There was no other way. It was impossible to sneak attack the Hyuga clan, so the Mist Ninjas set up a large number of detonating tags in the center of the valley for warning. As long as the Hyuga clan stepped on one, the Mist Ninjas would know that the action had begun.

So when Ri Xiang Dehong approached the mouth of the valley, the Xiguashan puffer ghost was already blocking there with more than twenty people.

Through the Byakugan, Hyuga Tokuhiro had naturally recognized the people who ambushed him: the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

“Xiguashan Pufferfish Demon, Muli Shinpachi, Kurochu Raiga, and Kizuna Chirin, there are only four people. Then Biwa Juzo, Tongcao Yaeiren, and Kurishil Kushimaru should be blocking the other side of the valley.” Hinata Tokuhiro’s heart sank.

It was not because he recognized the person, but because he found that he had made a mistake in his judgment. Because there were four ninja swordsmen blocking the retreat, and these four were all large-scale attack ninjas. The Mist Ninja arranged this, obviously wanting to use these four people to hold him back, waiting for the three behind to rush over and attack from both sides.

As four people who can output large-scale damage, they obviously have this ability.

If Hinata Tokuhiro chose the other end as the direction to break out, Biwa Juzo and the others would definitely not be able to stop him.

But it’s too late to say anything now. Hinata Tokuhiro has only one choice: rush forward.

As expected by Hyuga Tokuhiro, Xiguashan Puffer Ghost and his men launched the attack first. What made Hyuga Tokuhiro even more desperate was that not only did the four ninja swordsmen start the attack, but even the ninjas around them were performing ninjutsu.

At this time, Hyuga Tokuhiro’s shortcomings were revealed. Hyuga Tokuhiro had been pampered since childhood and had never participated in a real war. In fact, he had not even experienced many dangers. Although his strength was at the level of an elite jonin, and he was also a top elite jonin, Hyuga Tokuhiro’s ability to respond was insufficient.

Faced with this situation, he did not think of making appropriate responses. Fortunately, the elites of the branch families around him all had rich combat experience.

Seeing that their clan leader had obviously lost control of the situation, several people stepped out of the crowd and used the Turn the Sky technique together.

The large-scale water escape of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon was blocked by several people’s Kaiten, but the attack of the explosive knife and flying foam that followed was too late for the Hyuga branch to deal with.

Fortunately, Hinata Tokuhiro had recovered from his initial despair. He raised his hand and used the Eight Trigrams Palm to knock the paper roll covered with detonating talismans away.

Seeing that this move was effective, Hinata Tokuhiro used several consecutive Bagua Kongzhang moves and knocked the paper roll further away.

Seeing this, Wuli Jinpachi at the entrance of the valley had to detonate the detonating tag in advance.

Boom boom boom ~

Although they were much farther away, the dense and violent explosions still caused huge casualties to the Hyuga branch. At least five people died in the explosion just now.

Then, Black Hoe Raiga, Kizuna Chiba, and other group ninjutsu followed. Hyuga Tokuhiro led the others to fight and retreat, and finally withstood the first wave of attacks.

At this time, a branch family jonin said to Hyuga Tokuhiro: “Master clan leader, please break out quickly. We will cover you. Master Nobu can’t hold back for long. Once the other three ninja swordsmen come, you won’t be able to leave.”

Hearing what the branch family member said, Hyuga Tokuhiro also realized that he couldn’t fight with the Xiguashan Puffer Ghost here. So he gritted his teeth and said, “Charge.”

Of course, Hyuga Tokuhiro knew that the Hyuga clan was not good at long-range attacks, and that by the time they reached the enemy, they would have suffered heavy casualties. When his side got close to the enemy, when the Hyuga clan should have used their advantage in physical combat, he could not linger in the fight and could only retreat.

But at this point there is no other choice.

Sure enough, when Hyuga Tokuma and the remaining Hyuga members rushed to the entrance of the valley, the original team of dozens of people was reduced to only a dozen people. In order to resist the ninjutsu, they performed large-scale Kaiten many times, and the remaining ninjas suffered a lot of losses.

Hinata Tokuhiro slapped a Mist Ninja who had no time to evacuate to death, and looked fiercely at the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost who was trying to hold him back not far away. Then he gritted his teeth and ordered, “Continue to retreat.”

The Xiguashan Puffer Ghost had not expected that Hinata Tokuhiro would launch a desperate charge. Being very careful about his life, he finally gave way to the blockade.

Looking at Hinata Tokuhiro going away, Xiguashan Puffer Ghost complained that Kurishan Kushimaru and his companions on the other side were too slow, but still ordered his men to chase after them.

However, after he gave the order, no one moved, including the three ninja swordsmen, Kurokuke and Raiga. Everyone looked at him with contempt.

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost became furious and swung his sword Samehada and smashed it hard on the side of the mountain wall, creating a big hole in the wall.

Seeing this, the other ninjas swallowed their saliva, and then chased in the direction where Hinata Tokuhiro fled. They didn’t dare to really confront Xiguashan Puffer Ghost. Seeing his subordinates leave, Xiguashan Puffer Ghost looked at the three people of Kurochu Raiga with vicious eyes.

Among the three, Muri Jinpachi laughed and followed. The remaining two just glanced at Xiguashan Puffer Ghost and followed Muri Jinpachi’s footsteps.

The three of them were not afraid of Xiguashan Puffer Ghost, but mainly because this mission was personally ordered by the Third Mizukage. They had to complete it, otherwise Xiguashan Puffer Ghost, the person in charge, would be punished, but they would not be able to get away with it.
