Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it.

Chapter 140 Kikyo Mountain

Chapter 140 Kikyo Mountain

After the poisonous fog cleared, the southwest winds did not return. However, just two days later, Sunagakure launched another offensive.

The poison was still used, but this time it wasn't poisonous fog, but poison was injected into the water.

The logistics ninjas failed to detect the toxins in the water, resulting in most of the ninjas in the camp using unclean water. Starting in the middle of the night, the camp was filled with the sounds of vomiting and diarrhea.

The Sand Village launched a surprise attack in the middle of the night. Amidst the deafening shouts of battle, the weakened Konoha ninja hastily engaged in combat, and needless to say, they suffered another crushing defeat.

Even worse, some Konoha ninjas, still recovering from vomiting and diarrhea, rushed into battle and made a fool of themselves under immense pressure.

I was truly beaten out.

After the Sand Village retreated once again, the camp was filled with the pungent smell of blood and various fermenting organic matter. The once tidy camp had become filthy.

"Damn Sunagakure!" Sarutobi Asuma slammed his fist on the bed in frustration.

Last time, the three survived the poisonous fog attack thanks to the small barrier created by Shenyue Xingyun, but this time they were not so lucky.

All three were infected.

The only good news was that the three were still quite strong, and they hadn't used much of the poisoned water, so they barely managed to hold on until the end of the battle.

Thinking of those weak ninjas who were severely poisoned and beaten to death, Sarutobi Asuma was thankful that he wasn't that badly off. Otherwise, he could have killed himself without the Sand Village even needing to intervene.

"Once I recover, I'll make those Sand Village scum taste my twin swords!"

"Alright, save your energy." Kurenai's face was pale. "How many can you take on by yourself?"

"Lady Tsunade still needs to think of a solution; things can't go on like this."

It should be said that the poison from Sunagakure is very potent.

Ordinary poisons, even those that kill instantly upon contact with blood, have limited lethality. But Sunagakure can poison people in the wind and water, incapacitating a large number of them in one go.

Such a large-scale poisoning method, which is difficult to prevent, is something that ordinary ninja villages would not possess.

Kurenai looked at Shinzuki Seiun with concern: "Seiun, how are you?"

"Can it hold on?"

Shenyue Xingyun's face was also somewhat pale.

He shook his head and slowly said, "This can't go on any longer."

"I'll go find Tsunade in a bit."

Kurenai Yuhi: "Where are you going?"

Shenyue Xingyun said, "Of course, we should advise her to take the initiative to attack."

"Taking this hit-and-run approach is too disadvantageous!"

The two felt that it was inappropriate for Shingetsu Seiun to go to the commander in this way, but considering the two times the Konoha ninjas had been treated, they didn't say anything more.

Half a day later.

Feeling much better, Shenyue Xingyun dressed and headed to the main tent.

Given his status as a special Jonin, after the ninjas notified him, someone quickly came to take him inside.

"Lady Tsunade, the Jonin from Nebula has arrived."

Standing before the sand table, Tsunade looked noticeably more haggard than she had a few days prior. Upon hearing the guard's report, she looked up at Shingetsu Seiun who had entered.

"How is your recovery going?"

"What do you need me for?"

Shenyue Xingyun said, "He has almost recovered."

"Lady Tsunade, what are your plans for dealing with Sunagakure next?"

It was somewhat presumptuous of him to ask such a question, but Tsunade didn't mind and replied, "Next, I will tighten our defenses."

Shenyue Xingyun frowned: "Not going to retaliate?"

Tsunade asked, "Why retaliate?"

"The mission the village assigned to us is to hold off Sunagakure and tie down their remaining forces."

Shingetsu Nebula: "Can't we achieve our goal through a proactive attack as well?"

Tsunade shook her head: "That's too risky."

"Konoha's strategic goal is to eliminate war, not to kill."

Shingetsu Seiun said, "Is it Lady Tsunade?"

"If we continue to play defensively, every time Sunagakure attacks, the village's ninjas will suffer a loss."

"Even if your medical ninjutsu can cure the poison from Sunagakure, the village's ninjas will have sacrificed themselves in vain!"

"Alright." Tsunade's expression turned somewhat grim.

"I have my own plans."

As a special Jonin, I have the right to offer my ideas, but I have no right to argue with the Commander-in-Chief's decisions.

Shingetsu Seiun thought Tsunade would consider his idea, but to his surprise, the headquarters issued an order the next day.

The entire force retreated to Kikyo Mountain.

Kikyo Mountain is a mountain range behind the camp, near the village, with narrow passageways.

The mountains on both sides offer unobstructed views, making it difficult for enemies to hide, and there are clean water sources behind them. As long as patrols are strengthened, the possibility of Sunagakure poisoning them is almost zero. In addition, being closer to Konoha would also extend Sunagakure's supply lines, which sounds very reasonable.

Although the reasons were valid, Shingetsu Seiun still discerned Tsunade's attitude from them—avoiding war.

He didn't know if Tsunade was unwilling to start a war or if she was affected by hemophobia, but in his opinion, Tsunade's level as the commander-in-chief seemed to be inferior to Orochimaru's.

The ninjas began a large-scale relocation.

Clear the trees on the mountain, set up camp, and establish a defensive line.

After successfully relocating and occupying advantageous terrain, the morale of the Konoha team finally recovered considerably.

But not long after, Sunagakure launched another attack.

It's poisonous fog again!

Without a southwest wind, Sunagakure chose to attack in calm weather.

Simple catapults launch poison bottles, while flying ninja beasts drop packages containing explosive tags and poison from the sky—all sorts of things.

First, poison is used; after that, the troops charge.

Although Konoha managed to fight Sunagakure to a standstill thanks to their geographical advantage and pre-arranged traps, the Konoha ninjas felt increasingly frustrated, and discontent with their superiors began to grow.

"Damn it! This battle was so frustrating!"

"Are the higher-ups really going to back down like this?"

"Those Sunagakure scum, I really want to give them a good beating! Damn it!"

"Shall we volunteer?"

"that is!"

"We must fight! We can't keep passively taking hits like this!"

"Even if I die in battle, I don't want to be poisoned in the camp!"

The voices from the grassroots were growing louder and louder, and the frustration and anger made the Konoha ninjas grit their teeth.

Those at higher levels can also perceive the changes below.

Following another poison attack by Sunagakure, the higher-ups quickly began to gather manpower.

Counterattack!

The time was set for midnight, with Hyuga Hizashi, a Jonin from the Hyuga clan, leading a group of Jonin, Special Jonin, and ninjas who had mastered large-scale ninjutsu, to launch a retaliatory counterattack against Sunagakure.

Shenyue Xingyun and the other two were also in the counter-offensive team.

"Damn Sunagakure, now we can finally retaliate!" Sarutobi Asuma was somewhat excited as he made his way in stealth.

He still remembers the grudge from when he was poisoned and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and now he finally has a chance to take revenge.

"Asuma, be careful," Shingetsu Nebula whispered a reminder.

"Watch your step, don't fall into the Sand Village's traps."

"Don't linger in the fight; retreat as soon as you hear the signal to do so."
