Next Day
Early Morning
Ay took half of Kumo Shinobi forces from the camp, and invaded the Land of Fire. Yoko was part of the shinobi that Ay selected.
Ay looked at Yoko and said to her, "Cee, you still lack battlefield experience; any mistake you make on the battlefield could cost you your life. You must stay alert all the time when you are on the battlefield, so you need to stay close to me, and Bee at all times."
Yoko smiled and nodded her head to Ay.
She then opened her system panel, to check on her progress on one of her short-term quests that the system issued to her before she left the village.
[ THE THIRD SHORT TERM QUEST STATUS INCOMPLETE.]
[0/1000 GENINS.]
[8/500 CHUNINS.]
[0/10 JOUNINS.]
After checking the status of one of her short-term quests, Yoko closed the system panel and thought, "It seems the Root ANBUS I killed are all Chunins; I still had a long way to go before completing this quest."
Suddenly, Yoko narrowed her eyes; she could sense Konoha Shinobi hiding around the trees. She then closed her eyes, for a second, and when she opened her eyes again, she turned to Ay, and said to him, "Big brother, I can sense 40 Shinobi hiding around the trees."
After he heard what Yoko just said. Ay narrowed his eyes and stopped his advancement while raising his arm
All Kumo Shinobi stopped in their tracks after seeing Ay's signal.
He then turned his head to Yoko and asked, "Do you sense any Konoha shinobi coming our way?"
Yoko closed her eyes again for a moment to try to investigate after a few moments. She opened her eyes while smiling widely in excitements, and she said to Ay in a very cheerful tone, "There are a large number of Konoha Shinobi charging towards us, big brother."
After hearing her answer, Ay smacked her in the head.
"OUCH."
"Why the hell are you so happy about this?" Ay yelled to Yoko in anger.
Yoko rubbed her head then Ay took a deep breath to calm down He then said to the shinobi he brought with him, "Listen, everyone I was planning to surprise Konoha with our sudden invasion but it seem that they have discovered our plan so we need to change our strategy, We will use a spearhead formation and attack Konoha head-on. Me and Bee will lead the attack. The close combat specialist will be behind me and Bee, and the mid-range combat specialist will be behind the vanguard. In our formation, your job is not just to attack Konoha Shinobi but also to back up the vanguards, and lastly, the rear of our formation will include all of our long-range specialists. Your job is to backup the vanguards and mid-range combat specialists."
After hearing Ay's strategy, all Kumo Shinobi nodded their heads in understanding, then Ay looked at Yoko and said, "Cee, your position in the formation will be in the rear. Your job is to save as many lives as you can and back us up when you get the chance. This is different than when the Root ANBU sneak attacked the backup team when you were traveling to our camp. This is a real battlefield; use this opportunity to learn and gain experience."
Yoko frowned at first when she heard Ay's order, but she nodded her head in understanding.
Quickly all Kumo Shinobi got in position, then they charged deeper in the land of fire.
_______
With Konoha Shinobi
Shida Abu Rami is an Abu Rami clan Jounin. He looked at his comrades in worry. Next to him was an Inuzuka clan Jounin; his name is Kaito Inuzuka.
Shida looked at the Hyuga clan Chunin next to him and asked, "Hiro, my insect had told me that 600 Kumo Shinobi had just invaded the Land of Fire. I sent a word to Minato Senpai a while back. Can you see our backup with your Byakugan?"
Hiro activated his Byakugan, and after a moment, he sighed in frustration, then he said to Shida, "I am sorry, Shida-san, I can't see our backup, maybe because my Byakugan isn't strong enough yet."
Shida nodded his head when he heard this, and he then said to Hiro, "I want you to inform all those on lookout duty to get ready to engage Kumo Shinobi; we must hold them back until our backup arrives, no matter what method we use."
Hiro nodded his head seriously after hearing what Shida just said, and he shunshen away.
After Hiro shunshen away Kaito smirked at Shida and said to him, "We will not survive this, Shida; they outnumber us. The total shinobi on lookout duty are 40 shinobi; only I and you are Jounins among the lookout shinobi; the rest are Chunins."
Shida nodded emotionlessly and said to Kaito, "I know, Kaito, but we are out of options. Let's stop wasting time and try to buy as much time as possible for our backup; if we succeed, some of us may survive."
Kaito nodded his head seriously after hearing this, and then he shunshen away.

With Yoko
Yoko was charging forward with the rest of Kumo Shinobi. She smirked as she gazed at the trees in front of her, and she thought to herself, "It's time to use another jutsu I invented."
Yoko started doing a sequence of hand seals, and then she joined her two palms together, and a strong blue lightning started covering her hands.
"BZBZBZBZBZBZ."
Yoko exclaimed in a low voice.
"Lightning style: multiple lightning-piercing arrows."
"SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH."
Multiple blue lightning arrows shot out from Yoko's hands, and they soared towards the trees with incredible lightning speed.
All the Kumo shinobi were stunned when they saw Yoko executing the jutsu; even Konoha shinobi who were hiding around the trees were stunned.
"PU, PU, PU, PU, PU."
The lightning blue arrows pierced through Konoha shinobi's vital spots, and Konoha's shinobi cried in pain after they got pierced by the blue lightning arrows.
"AAAAAAHHHHH."
Many Konoha shinobi fell from the tree to the ground after the blue lightning arrows pierced through their bodies.
Yoko then heard the system notification in her head.
[ Congratulations host you have killed 9 Chunins ranked Shinobi.]
Ay's eyes brightened up with pride when he saw Yoko killing multiple Konoha Chunins using one jutsu. He then yelled loudly, "Everyone charge."
After hearing Ay's order, all the Kumo Shinobi charged forward with vigor.
When Shida Abu Rami saw this, he yelled to Konoha Shinobi, "Listen, everyone, we need to hold Kumo forces down no matter what until our forces arrive. First, use the kunais and shurikens wrapped with explosive tags to separate Kumo shinobi from each other, then start engaging them to delay their advancement."
After hearing Shida Abu Rami's order, all Konoha shinobi started wrapping the explosive tags around their kunais and shurikens, then they started throwing the kunais and shurikens towards Kumo's shinobi forces.
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM."
The Kumo shinobi dodged the kunais and shurikens thrown by Konoha shinobi. After Konoha shinobi successfully ruined their formation, they started attacking Kumo shinobi.
Yoko started coating her shurikens with lightning chakra nature and threw them accurately at the advancing Konoha Shinobi.
"PU, PU, PU. PU, PU."
The shurikens pierced many advancing Konoha shinobi in their vital spots, killing them instantly.
As the battle continued, Yoko's shuriken jutsu was improving by leaps and bounds.
Each time Yoko kills a Konoha Shinobi, she hears the system notification in her head, but she doesn't bother with it; she is completely focused on backing up her comrades, just as Ay ordered her to do.
Ay used his lightning armor jutsu, and Bee used his eight-tail cloak to attack Konoha shinobi.
Konoha Shinobi couldn't withstand the speed and the power of Ay and Bee's assault. Ay punches pierce through Konoha shinobi's bodies thanks to his mastery of the lightning chakra nature, and Bee's mastery over eight-tailed chakra and his unpredictable Kenjutsu style cut through all Konoha shinobi in front of him, leaving corpses in the ground.
Konoha shinobi were terrified when they noticed that Bee was the Jinchuriki of eight tails.
Because of their fear, they couldn't put any resistance against Bee, and they were easily killed by him.
The battle between the Konoha lookout shinobi and Kumo shinobi concluded quickly thanks to Ay and Bee's superior strength.
Ay and Bee easily killed Shida and Kaito, and thanks to Kumo outnumbering Konoha lookout shinobi, the victory was easily won.
After the battle, Ay looked at his subordinates and asked, "Casualties report."
After a few moments, a Kumo Shinobi stepped forward and started reporting to Ay, "Thanks for Lady Cee backing our comrades. We didn't suffer any casualties, Ay-sama."
Ay nodded his head in satisfaction after hearing this while smiling. He then said to his subordinates, "Alright, let's continue charging forward."
After hearing Ay's order, all Kumo Shinobi continued invading the land of fire.
