Chapter 23 - Plan to win the battle

I was surrounded by 10 Suna genins.

Their age seems to be around the same as me.

I was 70% sure that these guys don't know any high-level ninjutsu and more likely to attack me using taijutsu.

I spent a lot of charka during the previous fight with Suna jounin. I didn't want to waste any more chakra on them if I had to.

Although I didn't let my guard down, I wasn't so worried.

If it was 10 Chunins or above, I would run away with full speed, but I don't mind fight 10 genins with only taijutsu.

I slowly raised my two arms to the Wing Chun stance and waited for them to attack.

I will show them the mightiness of Wing Chun.

Finally, the genin behind me commenced to attack me with his kunai.

Soon all 10 of them jumped at me.

I blocked the front genin's attack while kicking side genin.

(A/N: just imagine that the fight scene is similar to Ipman destroying 10 black belts.)

They did use a few low-rank wind style ninjutsu, but I simply used Shunshin to evade and continued to bully them.

5 minutes later, all 10 genins got beaten to pulps.

To be honest, I didn't expect them to fall this quickly. I guessing that these guys just got out from the academy and first time joining the battle.

They sure had guts to even fight me.

Although I wasn't injured by them, my ċhėst scar wound reopened due to all those fighting movements. I quickly rebandaged my ċhėst scar again.

I looked around the surroundings to see if there was anyone.

After checking no one was around, I created one clone to cover for me.

I performed a few hand seals.

A dome of the earth around 10 genins rose up, trapping them inside.

I quickly touched the dome and absorbed the remaining chakra of those genins, to fill up my chakra.

After fully absorbing their chakra, I blow off the dome to make sure there are no survivors.

I gotta say, absorbing others' chakra is really addictive.

(A/N: What a vampire!!)

I didn't go back to the battlefield immediately.

I need to win this battle to complete the quest.

But it was obvious that the current battle situation is serious for Iwa due to idiot Kento does absolutely no commanding.

I thought for a few minutes and finally had an idea.

I will do a surprise attack on Suna's base, ration, and weapon storage to cause chaos in their base.

Distance between the battlefield and Suna's base is not far away.

I am sure as soon as Suna forces realize their base has been attacked, they will retreat immediately. Thus giving Iwa victory to this battle.

I knew I can't do this alone, so I hastily went back to the battlefield to recruit Gari and other explosion corps members to my plan.

-----------------------

I saw Gari was fighting hard with two Suna Chunins.

They were in a stalemate.

I quickly created an earth wall to defend Gari from two Chunins.

They were surprised by the sudden emergence of an earth wall. They looked back to see who disturbed their fight.

Their face was blown and died instantly.

"Thanks for your help, Genji."

"Gari, I need your help to turn the battle side."

"Alright, what's your plan?"

"Let's save other explosion corps members first, then I will tell you my plan."

"Sure, while ago I saw few explosion corps members fighting Giant Folding Fan division members."

"Let's go help them then."

After helping other 9 explosion corps members, we slowly disappeared from the battlefield.

"So Genji, what's your plan?"

I am sure Suna force will retreat when they see their base being attacked."

"But Genji, your idea is feasible, but don't you think it's a bit suicidal to attack Suna base with only us?

I am sure Suna base has a lot of shinobi defending it." one of explosion corps member asked me.

"That's why I only recruited explosion corps members. The thing that we are super good at is blowing things off.

Also, Suna base defence shinobi shouldn't be hard since their focus would be on the current battlefield.

We just need to cause enough chaos in their base to make Suna force retreat from the battlefield."

"What if Suna also sent other force to attack our base too? Then your plan's effect on the battlefield would be diminished."

"Worry not. I am sure Suna force doesn't know our base camp since we just arrived yesterday.

Additionally, even if Suna knows our basecamp, their main job is to defend, not attack. So they would not sneak attack our base"

--------------------------------------------------------------

We transformed into Suna shinobi and tried to enter Suna base.

Suna base guard all focused on the battlefield but did their job seriously.

But as expected we were stopped and asked for code.

Since we didn't know any code whatsoever, we revealed ourselves and quickly finished off base security shinobi, but left one alive.

Although it was tough, after torturing him for a while, we got the location of ration and weapon storage.

Each of us created 10 earth clones and let them divert Suna guard shinobi while real ones went to destroy base, ration, and weapon storage.

It took a lot more time than we thought to accomplish our plan, mainly due to fighting with Ration and Weapon storage guards was tough.

After blowing off our targets and causing chaos in Suna base, we transformed into Suna shinobi and quickly retreated, not to get caught.

But we still let our clones run around Suna base.

All of these took at most 30 minutes.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Yudai was fighting with Kento (Iwa division commander) seriously.

Yudai knew Kento was Iwa invasion division commander.

Before Yudai was the head of Giant Folding Fan and now he became division commander, tasked to defend this border checkpoint from the Iwa invasion force.

Yudai had to admit, his scary-looking opponent is strong and tough.

No matter how he attacks with his fan, Kento's earth armour won't go down.

Just as he was about to attack once more, he saw several black clouds of smoke in the direction of the Suna base.

He got a bad feeling about it.

Soon a messenger shinobi appeared in front of Yudai.

"Yudai-sama, Our base has been attacked by Iwa's several explosion corps."

"What?? What were you and shinobi who are guarding the base, doing?"

Yudai didn't expect Iwa to sneaky attack them on their first battle.

Iwa didn't even know anything about Suna force but still decided to pull off side sneak attack.

This needed a lot of guts and courage to come out with this strategy.

Yudai looked at scary dumb-looking Kento and couldn't believe Kento came up with this plan.

'Looks can be deceiving' is what Yudai thought.

Yudai decided to retreat to save their base.

He couldn't afford to lose ration and weapon storage in the base.

But what Yudai didn't know is that ration and weapon storage were already got destroyed completely by Genji and his little force.

Yudai: "I gotta say, I didn't expect you would sneak attack on us. Even making yourself as bait, I completely got fooled."

Kento: "????"

Kento had no idea what Yudai was saying.

Did this guy have brain problems while fighting?

Yudai: "We will retreat for now. But don't you think you have won yet. Next time I won't lose."

Kento: "????"

Kento had completely no idea what Yudai was saying.

'This guy suddenly started to speak some bullshit about bait and fooled, then he is saying he would retreat?

What the heck?

Did my fight with him cause him to lose mind?' Kento thought.

Kento really thought Yudai lost his mind.

But seeing Suna force retreating, Kento couldn't stand idly.

"Proud and valiant Iwa shinobi!!

We have won the battle and Suna is retreating due to our mighty power.

Don't let them give time to breathe, Chase them and annihilate them!!!"

Seeing Suna force is retreating, Iwa force's morale boosted and chased off Suna force.

When Yudai and Suna main force arrived at their base, Yudai was surprised to see that ration and weapon storage completely blew off.

Yudai wanted to curse base guards but knew now wasn't time to do as Iwa force is chasing them like mad dogs.

Yudai knew he couldn't' defend Iwa force here without any ration or weapon. Therefore he decided to give up this checkpoint and back off.

After Kento and Iwa force successfully won over Suna checkpoint, Kento wanted to chase retreating Suan force again.

But he soon dropped the idea after seeing Iwa force are tired from battle.

--------------------------------------------------

After causing chaos in Suna base, me and my little force joined in Iwa force chasing off Suna force on halfway.

Although I knew Suna force would retreat, I didn't expect Iwa force would chase them.

'Isn't it normal to stop chasing when enemies suddenly retreat?

But I guess this is also not bad'

Later Iwa force occupied Suna checkpoint and I heard system.

System: "Congratulation on host for completing a battle quest.

When I heard I completed the quest, I finally relaxed and knew we won the battle successfully .
