Chapter 905: The Advancing Moon Lion Unit! (Combined Chapter)
Northwest direction within the Land of Fire.
In an open ground in the forest that had clearly been deliberately cleared out.
Earth and stone bungalows and watchtowers about three stories high were erected.
The most eye-catching among them were the Black-Clad Soldiers standing guard or patrolling.
With sturdy and tall physiques, sharp and resolute eyes, they exuded a formidable aura from head to toe.
Their presence made the atmosphere of the entire Camp appear particularly strict and orderly.
【Whoosh whoosh whoosh----】
Just then, a strange cold wind swept in from the South Side, bringing with it the rustling sound of tree leaves.
This caused astonishment among many Army Soldiers.
Even Officers (Field Grade) wearing black coats walked out to check the sky.
The Ninja World was currently in early summer, and coupled with the good geography of the Land of Fire.
Logically, there shouldn't be such a cold wind.
"Assembly!"
Just then, all Military Officers of Colonel rank and above received an order transmitted via Den Den Mushi.
Not long after.
Large numbers of Army Soldiers quickly surged out from various houses, rapidly forming columns in Squad, Platoon, Company units.
In an instant.
The entire Camp was filled with dense footsteps and impatient urging sounds.
And Admiral Aramaki, as the highest Commander.
Was leading Vice Admiral Stainless, who served as Brigade Commander behind him, and two Army Rear Admirals who served as Regimental Commanders, striding towards the City Gate ahead.
Admiral Aramaki's face was full of an arrogant smile.
He had just received intelligence from Cipher Pol.
Saying that Admiral Aokiji of the Marines had already trapped Hashirama Senju on the Southern Coast of the Land of Fire.
The implication was that he could now take action!
"Lahahaha!"
"This time, this old man wants to see who else in Konoha can stop me!"
Vice Admiral Stainless and the two behind Admiral Aramaki exchanged glances.
They heard a hint of resentment and expectation in the former's tone.
However, as subordinates, they couldn't say much about such matters.
At the same time, they became more curious about the Konoha Ninja who could make this Admiral Aramaki suffer a setback.
【Swish swish swish swish——】
Just as Vice Admiral Stainless's Main Combat Brigade was assembling troops.
Mink Tribe Members of various animal types, but wearing unified black military uniforms.
Like arrows released from a bowstring, they were the first to rush into the Sea of Trees outside the Camp.
Their number was around a hundred.
After spreading out, they quickly leaped between the somewhat overly tall trees.
The most surprising thing was.
Each of them wore a black Justice Coat, which flapped in the wind with their agile movements.
This was the 'Moon Lion Unit' proposed by the current Army Headquarters Admiral, 'Demon Shark' Douglas Bullet, with Mink Tribe Members as its main Members.
Their main mission was to scout the enemy troops' movements, numbers, positions, traps, and other intelligence at the forefront of the main force, as well as to deal with the spies sent out by the enemy troops and test the enemy troops' strength.
Due to the Mink Tribe's innate warrior qualities, their strength improvement speed was much faster than other races except for the Giant Tribe after joining the Army Headquarters.
This led to them easily reaching the Major level in not too long.
Hence the spectacular sight of all of them wearing Coat of Justice.
Now, basically every Regiment-level Army Main Combat Force had their presence to some extent.
Speaking of the formation process of the 'Moon Lion Unit', it actually went through some turmoil.
Among the High-ranking Officials within the Army, specifically Officers of Commodore rank and above.
Someone first proposed forming the 'Survey Corps' as the troops' 'Scout'.
Their idea was to mainly use human soldiers skilled in Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, supplemented by some Mink Tribe Members.
However, after several exercise tests.
These Army Officers were speechless to find that the human soldiers using Omni-Directional Mobility Gear were completely suppressed by the Mink Tribe Members.
Their agile movements were not worth mentioning.
After all, the human soldiers who could enter the Main Battle Legion were not bad either.
The key was that these Mink Tribe Members could not only discharge Electro from their bodies, but their sense of smell, sense of sight, sense of hearing, and other aspects were also more sensitive.
Moreover, they could adapt to various complex natural environments, especially thriving in places like jungles.
Also, the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear appeared very rigid in front of the Mink Tribe.
In addition to these advantages.
If fighting at night, and there happened to be a full Moon, which is around the fifteenth day of each month, the Mink Tribe could also awaken the 'Sulong' form, further boosting their strength in all aspects.
Therefore, whether it was human soldiers or soldiers of other races, it was difficult to compete with the Mink Tribe for the 'Scout' job.
Oh, the Snake-Neck Tribe was an exception.
Because in addition to their long necks like snakes, their extended tongue also had infrared sensing ability.
They could detect heat within a certain range, so there were also a few Snake-Neck Tribe Warriors in the current 'Moon Lion Unit'.
However, their number was too small to affect the troops' name.
And the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, which was unilaterally 'eliminated' by the Army Headquarters, was favored by the Air Force Headquarters.
Zephyr, as the part-time Air Force Headquarters Marshal, had equipped all Airborne Units with Omni-Directional Mobility Gear.
This led to practicing Omni-Directional Mobility Gear becoming a daily training subject for every airborne soldier.
And those Eldians who were skilled in using Omni-Directional Mobility Gear.
Were basically absorbed by the Air Force Headquarters.
The Army Headquarters didn't care.
Although these Eldians, who were released from the World Government's labor sentence for their entire race at the price of all Adult Males serving military service.
For some unknown reason, they could suddenly self-determine the time to transform back into humans from 'Pure Titan', which significantly improved their military value.
But the Army Headquarters had a large number of Giant Warriors provided by the Elbaf Kingdom.
They simply looked down on the 'Pure Titan' form of the Eldians, which acted purely on instinct after transformation.
However.
Dragon, the Minister of the Judiciary's Ministry of Police Affairs.
Recently applied for a batch of Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, saying it was to strengthen the mobility of Police Officers in cities in Various Places.
It seemed because he felt that during the previous Space Pirate attack incident, the speed of Police Officers stationed in several Kingdoms responding to calls, whether by police motorcycle or on two legs, was too slow.
Dragon also mentioned in his report that Omni-Directional Mobility Gear could be used for fire rescue.
Because few Police Officers here could learn 'Moonwalk', this kind of extraordinary martial arts.
Returning to the Ninja World side.
The Mink Tribe and Snake-Neck Tribe Members of the Moon Lion Unit had no intention of waiting for the main force behind them.
While lamenting the vast Sea of Trees within the Land of Fire, they turned into afterimages and swept towards Konohagakure.
【Boom!!】
But just then.
A huge explosion sound suddenly appeared in a certain direction in the front row.
"That direction is..."
Sicilian, a lion Mink with thick reddish-brown hair and wearing a black D'Artagnan hat, as the Commander of this 'Moon Lion Unit', immediately raised his sharp lion eyes and gazed at the towering Hikari in the distance.
Soon, the Den Den Mushi in his Coat of Justice pocket made a sound.
When he took it out and answered it casually.
He saw the Den Den Mushi, also wearing a D'Artagnan hat on its head, shouting loudly on its furry paw.
"Report, Captain, this is the Hensley Squad of the Second Echelon. The Theo Squad ahead is suspected of being attacked by Explosive Tag. It should be an ambush that was set up in advance... Not good! There are Ninja attacking them!"
Then followed a series of whistling sounds and various commotion from the combat.
At the same time.
'Boom boom boom' explosion sounds also rang out one after another in other directions ahead.
Clearly.
The Squads of the First Echelon and Second Echelon.
Had already engaged in battle with the well-prepared Ninja.
"Ah ah ah, it hurts so much, my leg is gone!!"
An antelope Mink with long, pointed double horns on his head lay on the forest ground, clutching his blood-soaked severed leg.
While letting out a mournful scream, he rolled back and forth in suffering.
He was the first unlucky fellow to step on an Explosive Tag trap.
Although he wasn't blown to death on the spot, his leg below the thigh was not saved.
"Idiot Walda, quickly use Breathing Style to stop bleeding, and then eat a 'Purple Butterfly Pill'. Whether you can survive depends on your fate!"
Not far away.
Lieutenant Colonel Chaos, a Shiba Inu Mink who was fighting another Konoha Ninja, shouted a reminder during the gap when the two sides separated after a collision.
However, his pair of dog eyes remained fixed on the Ninja who was charging at him again.
"Ninja Art: Clone Jutsu!"
As the Konoha Chunin, who looked like a middle-aged uncle, formed hand seals in front of him, three figures quickly appeared on both sides.
The next moment.
Shuriken flashing with cold light were thrown out by them.
Seeing this, Lieutenant Colonel Chaos immediately burst with 'crackling' Electro.
He dodged the incoming Shuriken swarm at extremely high speed.
At the same time, his target was very clear as he rushed towards one of the Ninja.
This made Chunin Hisada secretly think it was bad.
He guessed that this Otherworlder who looked like a dog might also have the sensory ability mentioned in the intelligence.
Therefore, he could ignore the phantom clone he created.
"Earth Release: Stone Pillar Spear!"
Instantly, sharp and thick earth spikes rose from the Ground.
"Thunder Breathing! First Form! Thunderclap and Flash!"
Lieutenant Colonel Chaos, who was moving at high-speed movement, widened his dog eyes.
The Electro on his body quickly changed from blue to golden.
Instantly transforming into an incredibly fast electric flash, he crushed the earth spikes along the way and swept behind Chunin Hisada.
【Bang!】
But the body cut open by the blade exploded with white smoke and turned into a broken log.
At the same time.
A Kunai tied with a burning Explosive Tag flew through the white smoke towards Lieutenant Colonel Chaos's face.
"Shave!"
Just in the nick of time, the latter's figure turned into an afterimage and disappeared from the Original Spot.
When he reappeared, the Kunai had already flown behind him.
【Boom!!】
A violent explosion and Hikari bloomed.
Lieutenant Colonel Chaos, without looking back, turned into an electric flash and leaped into Mid-air.
"Thunder Breathing! Fifth Form! Heat Lightning!"
As the Nichirin Blade was swung rapidly.
A lightning-shaped golden slash mixed with real Electro bombarded towards Chunin Hisada below.
"Earth Release: Earth Wall!"
Feeling the death crisis, Chunin Hisada performed beyond his usual level, forming hand seals much faster than usual, creating a 'dome-shaped' earth wall to block Lieutenant Colonel Chaos's one strike.
【Boom!!】
The golden lightning instantly blasted open the thick earth wall.
Chunin Hisada's expression changed drastically.
But just as he concentrated Chakra in his feet and used Body Flicker Technique to flash out.
More golden lightning completely enveloped an area of tens of meters.
After all, Breathing Style sword technique didn't require hand seals.
"Thunder Breathing! Sixth Form! Rumble and Flash!"
Lieutenant Colonel Chaos's roar echoed throughout the entire area.
"Ah ah ah ah!"
Chunin Hisada, who was in the process of Body Flicker, was unfortunately struck by a lightning bolt.
He immediately let out a scream and fell to the Ground.
The sword aura cut open his back, and the dense Electro paralyzed his body.
"Fang Over Fang!"
"Thunder Breathing! Second Form! Rice Spirit!"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Serpent Breathing! Fifth Form! Winding Serpent!"
"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"
"Tempest Kick!"
At the same time.
In this somewhat unnatural vast Forest.
Mink Tribe Members wearing black Justice Coats, their bodies flickering with Electro, and their long sabers swinging out lightning slashes, were engaging in slaughter with a group of Konoha Ninja wearing green vests, all of whom were Chunin rank or above.
The lightning created by Breathing Style slashes, White Snake, Six Powers martial arts techniques, and Ninjutsu's flame, gale, and various other elements, as well as the secret techniques mastered by the Great Ninja Clans, frequently collided at this moment.
Rumbles, explosions, screams, and wails, one after another, accompanied by increasingly strong bloodshed, permeated the Sea of Trees.
Corpses belonging to both sides began to appear in the corners.
However, due to the Mink Tribe's more vigorous life force.
Coupled with everyone having a few 'Purple Butterfly Emergency Pills', and Breathing Style's inherent stop bleeding effect.
The Moon Lion Unit side had more injured than deceased.
As for the Konoha Ninja side, there were basically no injured...
In terms of the overall situation.
The Konoha Ninja side used the traps they had ambushed in advance in Various Places and the wonderful effect of various Ninjutsu to fight and retreat.
Because they had already discovered that except for those from Prestigious Ninja Clans, their own side found it difficult to gain the upper hand in head-on battle.
Moreover, they were just a Scout Unit, there was no need to fight too desperately.
And during this process.
The High-ranking Officials of both sides were also receiving a large amount of transmitted intelligence.
Konoha had gained some understanding of the Mink Tribe and Snake-Neck Tribe.
And Admiral Aramaki and Vice Admiral Stainless's side also knew that the other party had already anticipated being attacked.
Next, they would face unimaginable various traps and Ninja harassment.
"Hmph, meaningless struggle!"
Admiral Aramaki, watching the nearly five thousand Army Units move out in batches, sneered with disdain after hearing the report from a Colonel behind him.
"This old man will rush over now and clean up all those Ninja and their traps!"
"Please wait a moment, Admiral Aramaki."
But just as Admiral Aramaki was about to make a move, Vice Admiral Stainless spoke up and called out to him.
"Hmm?"
"Admiral Aramaki, since Admiral Akainu ordered you to lead us to act together, let us handle these Ninja for you."
Vice Admiral Stainless said calmly, meeting Admiral Aramaki's gaze.
The two Rear Admirals serving as Regimental Commanders behind him nodded slightly in agreement.
Several Officers (Field Grade) nearby also cast expectant gazes towards Admiral Aramaki.
After all, they also had a pursuit for military merit.
If Admiral Aramaki went alone and solved everything, what would be the purpose of them coming all this way?
Now, military merit could not only be exchanged for resources and promotions in military rank, but even peerage and Private Territory could be obtained.
Although this kind of military merit noble title could not be inherited by their children after their death, and the Territory would also be reclaimed.
But the peerage annuity for at least a ten-year term was enough for their family to live a relatively wealthy life for a long time.
"Alright."
Admiral Aramaki was somewhat displeased, but after a moment of silence, he still nodded in agreement.
Although he appeared very arrogant, he wasn't truly brainless.
"Then you guys deal with these troublesome Ninja Army, and this old man will go check out their Base Camp!"
In Admiral Aramaki's opinion, the merit of suppressing Konohagakure was the main prize.
And it had to be fast.
Because he wasn't sure how long Admiral Aokiji could hold off Hashirama Senju.
It just so happened that Vice Admiral Stainless's Main Combat Brigade could attract most of the Wood Leaf Faction's attention for him.
"Okay, I hope your movements are a little slower~"
Vice Admiral Stainless made a joke with a wry smile.
"Heh heh."
Admiral Aramaki pretended not to hear.
He directly used element transformation into tree branches and infiltration into the Earth below.
