Chapter 147:
Kitsuchi led Iwa's troops to retreat with their tail between their legs. This time it was Konoha's big victory.
Konoha's ninjas pursued the escaping Iwa ninjas for a while before they all gathered back to Akira. The Konoha ninjas were celebrating joyfully as they can won spectacularly under Akira's leadership. They all felt relieved, especially when they saw Kitsuchi fleeing.
The Konoha's ninjas gathered around Akira and their eyes looked at Akira with respect and admiration.
There is no doubt that Akira is their well-deserved hero.
"Although I won the battle against kitsuchi this time, everyone should had heard about it. Our situation on the main battlefield is bad..." Akira said calmly, "Iwa and Suna have joining forces. In total our opponent have more powerhouse and strong elite troops. What they are plotting are defitenely not small." Akira gaze swept across to everyone and said softly.
The listening Konoha ninjas nodded solemnly.
"Would you like to join me, support Konoha's troops and flatten Iwa and Suna?" Akira's voice suddenly raised and asked.
Konoha's ninjas were all taken aback and then light of hope appeared in their eyes.
Flatten Iwa and Suna?
"Yes! We are willing!" Konoha's ninjas felt the rush of blood rushing in their bodies, as if they have a inexhaustible andrenaline, their morale was greatly boosted and they shouted loudly.
Akira immediately waved his hand: "Let's go, follow me to the main battlefield!"
After motivating the Konoha ninja's emotions and morale, Akira and Minato immediately took all the ninjas to the main battlefield. The main battlefield is not far from where Akira and the others are located. It is a plain field in front, of which the terrain is open and suitable for battle.
Konoha, Iwa and Suna invested thousands of ninjas each into here and a intense battle have already begun.
Even though they were still far away, Akira could faintly hear explosions and screams, all kinds of noises from the war were mixed together and the ground shook. This is the true manifestation of the cruel war, blood curling, deadly and devasting.
"This is war..." Akira shook his head, with a little empathy. Konoha, Iwa and Suna are all one of the big 5 village. The elite of their troops is not comparable to a small village like Ame.
"It's Orochimaru-sama summoned animal, Orochimaru-sama is in front!" A Konoha ninja shouted.
In front of them is indeed Orochimaru summoned animal, Manda and with the fact that he had summoned Manda, Akira can tell that the situation was indeed very dangerous.
Manda is a purple python with a length of several tens of meters. It is like a small hill on the battlefield, an absolute behemoth and very conspicuous in the midst of other ninjas.
With such a big target, it's easy to find Orochimaru location. Manda is simply a big coordinate marker, telling Akira and others the specific location of Orochimaru
"Everyone listen to my order, forms teams and support our fellow Konoha comrades!" Akira commanded.
"Hai Akira sama!"
Akira and others finally arrived on the battlefield and Konoha's ninja also knew that reinforcements were coming. Especially after the famous Uchiha Akira came, their spirits were lifted and their hopes were raised one after another.
Akira temporarily handed over the command to Minato and then glanced at Orochimaru on the top of Manfa's head, his figure flashed and he used body flicker jutsu to directly reach Manda's head.
"Which little devil, dare to stand on my head?" Manda quickly noticed Akira's movements and let out a low hiss. Manda has always been easily irritable and difficult to control.
On the other hand, Orochimaru looked at Akira unexpectedly, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes and said in a low voice: "Akira, you actually came to support us so quickly, but you are just right on time."
"Oh? Orochimaru, this is the Uchiha genius you often mentioned. A kid?" Manda was taken aback, only after hearing Orochimaru's words did he calmed down. It seems like Orochimaru had mentioned Akira to Manda before.
"How is the situation now?" Akira asked immediately.
"Very unsatisfactory. On the other side, Iwa ninjas and Suna ninjas joined forces. We do not have the advantage and I can only summon Manda to barely maintain the situation. The other side have Shirotsuchi and Chiyo who are kage level powerhouse of the same level as me but I can only deal with one of them. "Orochimaru said in a tired voice.
Shirotsuchi and Chiyo are both powerful kage level powerhouses and Orochimaru is only in his twenties at this time and his strength is still somewhat different from the peak state(after lots of inhuman experiment) in the original story, so his strength is only roughly equivalent to Chiyo and Shirotsuchi.
"It will be easier to handle them with you here. I'll deal with the masters on Suna's side. While you deal with Iwa?" Orochimaru asked. It is indeed very difficult for him to deal with 2 enemies alone, so he can only hope that Akira will share the burden.
Akira also felt a bit of pressure, but nodded: "I understand."
"Okay, we will split up. As long as we can delay and stall the attack, our reinforcements should come and Sakumo should be on his way."
Akira smiled faintly and suddenly remembered something: "Where is Nawaki?" "He is in the ninja force, he should be dealing with Iwa." Orochimaru replied.
Akira nodded silently. As he is concerned about the safety of Nawaki, he took a flash and left the top of Manda's head as he towards the Konoha Ninja froce who were fighting with Iwa ninjas.
"It's Uchiha Akira! Uchiha Akira is here!"
Akira's name is really too reknown. Whether it is Konoha or Iwa, Akira was discovered instantly. Konoha Ninja are rejoicing, while Iwa ninjas are both surprised and angry.
"Akira!" At this time, a figure greeted him, it was Nawaki
Akira glanced towards him, at this time, there were several injuries on Nawaki's body, but none of them were fatal. Nawaki panted, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "You are finally here."
"Sorry I am late, now is not the time to reminisce, let's fight side by side to kill these Iwa bastards." Akira took out a few food pills from his ninja bag and handed to Nawaki after he patted Nawaki on the shoulder.
Nawaki ate a food pill and solemnly said, "Okay, no problem!"
At this time, a full-hearted voice came from the opposite side: "Uchiha Akira you really have the guts to want destroy the elite of our Iwa explosion corps troops? Since our fifty-man troop was completely wiped out by you, I will have you pay for this, you are dead this time!"
Akira saw a middle-aged man standing in the middle of Iwa ninjas, with a normal appearance but he have a burly figure.
The middle aged man is Shirotsuchi, the captain of Iwa's explosion corps, a powerful kage level powerhouse!
