Chapter 464: Undead Legion
Just as Ao was thinking this.
The nine people from the three troops also stopped what they were doing.
After all, looking around, there was nothing but a raging sea of fire, and it seemed that there was no need to continue launching attacks to grind the enemy to ashes.
Without the blessing of the strong wind, the raging flames were slowly dying down at a steady pace.
However, looking around, there were still fires burning everywhere on the charred land.
The strange and bizarre clay puppets that were invading had their formation blown away by the previous tornado.
One by one they fell from the sky, lying sprawled on the scorched earth before them.
Just when all the Kirigakure ninjas thought that these unknown invading enemies were inexplicably and easily solved by an unknown force hidden in the village.
Those strange clay puppets stood up again one by one.
At this moment, with the scorched earth and flames all over the ground, these puppets looked like a legion of demons that had just crawled out of hell, extremely hideous and terrifying.
"What!!!"
"Monster! This is an Undead Legion!!"
It was amazing to see that the enemy was able to get up and reorganize their formation without any harm after suffering an attack of that magnitude.
All the Kirigakure ninjas present had expressions of horror on their faces.
The unknown is often humanity's greatest fear.
Moreover, in the perception of perception ninjas including Ao, the chakra fluctuations of these clay puppets are only slightly different from those of ordinary Genin.
Although their numbers were huge, it was impossible for them to remain unharmed in a fire of that scale.
Even if it really was a clay puppet, it should have been burned to ashes by a fire ninjutsu of this scale.
But at this moment, the facts were laid out before everyone.
Just when Ao was at a loss and was about to order the three troops to use wind attacks again to temporarily blow these puppets away to resist.
The voice of Elder Genji came from behind.
"This is the Undead Legion created by Mōryō!"
Ao looked back and saw that the elder Genji, escorted by several Anbu members, and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Utakata, walked to the front of the formation together.
However, at this time, Ao had no time to care about the two guys who needed protection the most in the village, and why they came to the front line so brazenly.
He just stared intently at the elder Genji in front of him, waiting for him to give more specific instructions.
Elder Genji knew the situation was critical, so he spoke without further ado.
"This undead legion created by Mōryō can ignore all damage and once wreaked havoc in the ninja world during the Sengoku Era."
Hearing that they could ignore all harm, everyone present changed their expressions.
This is the real 'Undead Legion'!
'Then how can we fight this?'
Fortunately, just when everyone was filled with fear, Elder Genji did not stop talking and continued.
"However, they were sealed by the priestess of the Land of Demons during the Sengoku Era. Although I don't know why they are now unsealed and attacking the village, there are two ways to deal with these monsters."
"The first is to find the monster that controls the undead legion behind the scenes and kill or seal it."
"The other option is to seal these undead puppets individually!"
Not to mention why the monsters sealed in the Land of Demons, far to the west of the map, would come out? The Ninja World had no information about it at all, and yet they would actively attack the Kirigakure Village.
Although Elder Genji mentioned two methods, they are both sealing techniques in the final analysis.
This is usually the first thing people in the ninja world think of when they can't find a solution.
Only.
Ao, who has the Byakugan, is currently the strongest perception ninja in the Kirigakure Village.
However, he did not find any special target within his perception range.
There is no way to carry out a decapitation operation against the so-called monsters.
And the second method.
There are thousands of undead puppets in front of him.
With just a few Sealing Ninjas in the Sealing Squad of the Kirigakure Village, they can't seal them all even if they work themselves to death!
But now is not the time to hesitate, looking at the puppet army that is gradually approaching.
Ao immediately gave the order again.
"Pass the order, all the remaining flying ninjas in the village, disperse and look for the person behind the scenes!"
"Three troops! Divide the battlefield into groups of three!"
"The sealing team is right here at the gate. Divide the sealing area!"
"All the other ninjas, after the three forces have finished dividing the battlefield, the jonins will lead others to capture the undead puppets and seal them together."
At this time, Ao can only temporarily rely on batch sealing to relieve the pressure on the sealing team.
Fortunately, there are three forces.
Although these undead puppets will not be injured, they will still be blown away by the strong wind and cannot pose a real threat to the village for the time being.
After arranging all this, Ao turned around and looked at the elder Genji beside him, and said sincerely.
"Elder Genji, please order Chief Kushimaru to lead a small team of Anbu to be on standby at all times. If the Flying Unit finds the location of Mōryō, please have them conduct a surprise attack and decapitation."
Kushimaru is still the head of the Anbu today, and theoretically he will only accept orders from the Mizukage.
Even now that Kaito is not here, only Elder Genji is qualified to make arrangements for them.
However, what makes Ao most uncomfortable right now is that most of the ninjas in the Flying Unit have been sent to the Sea Mist City to take part in the Joint Chunin Exam.
It is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket to find the monsters hiding in the dark with only the remaining instructors and reserve members.
But sending the perception ninja team to rush through the position to search is undoubtedly a case of throwing a meat bun at a dog.
While the others had already started to act, Ao was still racking his brains to think and speculate.
The perception ninja named Tadahisa Nishimae who was the first among the village guards to use perception jutsu to discover the enemy.
But he ran to Ao in a panic and spoke quickly and nervously.
"Ao-sama! At the beginning, before you came, I sensed that there were more than twenty enemies who were at least Jonin level with evil chakras between the enemies! But after that, all these chakras disappeared!"
"What!" Ao's expression changed drastically when he heard that.
You know, in the perception jutsu after he came over, the enemies from beginning to end were only these Genin-level undead puppets.
Before he could scold the man, he asked why he didn't tell him such important information earlier.
Suddenly, there was a series of explosions behind him, and the terrifying roar of monsters.
Then Ao heard it.
The captain of the three troops, Terumi Hideyuki, roared in a somewhat shrill voice.
"Mei!!!"
Ao heard the voice and quickly looked back.
Then they saw the army of undead puppets that had already been divided up.
Suddenly, more than twenty humanoid monsters with a terrifying purple-black aura appeared out of nowhere.
Among this group of monsters, the three leaders whose faces could still be vaguely seen were none other than the Shingetsu Team that had mysteriously disappeared some time ago.
"Mei! Zabuza!!"
