With the withdrawal of Kirigakure, the raid finally came to an end.
Most of the Konoha Ninjas who returned from the sea were exhausted. Looking at the corpses on the ground, some were sad, some were angry, but most of them were speechless.
Death seems to be a common thing. It is good to survive. Who has the desire to ask for more?
"Chen, after this battle, can the war with Land of Water end?" Nawaki asked after reuniting with his friend after a long absence.
Even the enemy commanders were defeated and fled. There are currently four Seven Ninja Swordsmens left. Coupled with the previous victory of Land of Bears, he felt that Hidden Mist Village should choose peace talks.
"It's early." Chen, who was at the back of the team, shook his head.
"If this battle can really be decided in one battle and Hidden Mist Village is completely defeated, I will definitely lead everyone to chase and kill regardless of life and death, regardless of risks. How could I possibly let Kirigakure escape and retreat?"
Kirigakure was defeated, but there are still many troops stationed on the border of Land of Hot Water. They can either invade Land of Fire or form a coalition with Hidden Cloud Village.
Moreover, there are many ninjas in Hidden Mist Village, and they are still sent to the battlefield. Now the war has just entered the middle stage, how could Fourth Mizukage choose peace talks.
"Even if it's not enough for Hidden Mist Village to negotiate, we can drive the other party out of Land of Waves, right?"
"It depends on how many victories we get today." Chen said, squinting at the slowly rising sun.
Cleaning up the battlefield was extremely troublesome, as one had to identify Konoha Ninja and count the death toll of the other party. In the afternoon, slightly more detailed data was presented.
After receiving the report of battle damage, Chen glanced at it. Although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but frown.
Nearly two thousand Konoha Ninja, more than five hundred were killed... and a considerable number of ninjas suffered injuries of varying degrees.
Although the losses were much less than those of Kirigakure, now that Konoha was one against four, it was natural for him to be careful in his calculations.
After putting down the stat sheet, he resumed his work.
Now that he has arrived at the front line, Rokuun, who has temporarily assumed this position, has handed over the position and authority of the commander to Chen.
During this day, the two of them were working on the handover.
A frontline commander has to manage a lot of things, and all aspects are taken into consideration. Fortunately, I have learned from Orochimaru for a long time, otherwise I really don't know where to start.
In fact, his workload is already quite small. After all, he has talents like Rokuun here who can help him a lot.
It was dark at night, and after several meetings, Chen was sitting in Central Command Tent, writing a report to Konoha.
This sneak attack is already considered a large-scale battle. No matter what, the detailed information must be sent to Third Hokage completely so that the other party can have a detailed understanding of the front line.
In addition, the achievements of ninjas who have made great achievements must be recorded.
Third Hokage needs to know which war heroes there are, and then follow the procedures to praise them where they should be praised and publicize them in the village.
These were all done by Uncle Snake in the past, and Chen occasionally helped draft them a few times, so he was very familiar with them.
Anyway, it's just bragging to the sea and bragging to death. After all, it's business bragging.
As for whether he will be sucked to death by his poisonous milk... that is another story.
Anyway, the people of Konoha only need to know that the situation on the front line is excellent, and other villages have either suffered heavy losses or suffered retribution from natural and man-made disasters.
In addition to this, there are also death lists to be transcribed.
Although it was a great victory, it was inevitable that there would be deaths, injuries, and maimings. These people would have to be reported to Third Hokage, and the village would provide subsidies to these families.
If the previous things can be omitted, this point must be very cautious, because it is related to the future survival of many war orphans.
Chen handed over this work to Himeji to complete, so the two of them had not eaten anything at this point.
"Nawaki, are you here?" He finally stopped writing for a while and was about to take a rest. When Chen looked up, he found Nawaki opening the tent and walking in.
"I suddenly remembered something, so I want to tell you." Nawaki said.
"What's the matter?" Chen motioned for him to sit down and asked Himeji to go have some food.
"When Kirigakure attacked in the morning, Nonō and I were together..." Nawaki paused and continued, "On patrol... then I heard an explosion, but at that time the explosion was already very close to Base."
"The enemy probably bypassed the reconnaissance ninjas and launched the raid silently. Therefore, Nonō and I suspect that there are spies in the frontline headquarters."
When Jonin Meeting, Nawaki did not mention this matter, he was afraid of alerting the public.
Chen nodded. "Senior Rokuun has already told me about this matter, and his thoughts are the same as yours."
"But the problem is that there are only a few ninjas who know the detailed layout of the reconnaissance ninjas, and none of these people can be spies of Kirigakure."
"Could it be someone who accidentally leaked it?" Nawaki asked.
Chen shook his head. "Then this is even more impossible to investigate."
Could he still ask Anbu to invite Hiashi to tea and ask if he leaked this matter?!
Of course, on the one hand, there was no way to check, and on the other hand, Chen felt that this matter should be related to White Zetsu.
Hidden Mist Village should obviously be under Madara's control now, White Zetsu wants to investigate something, Shinobi World no one can hide it yet.
"Then let's just let it go?" Nawaki asked.
Chen picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and said with a smile, "I already have a solution."
At this moment, Himeji opened the tent corridor and came in, carrying a lunch box in her hand, which she obviously brought for Chen.
Chen thanked him after taking it, and then looked at Nawaki: "You must have eaten it, right?"
"I've eaten, what's wrong?" Nawaki had a bad feeling.
"Since you've eaten..." Chen suddenly turned to look at Himeji and asked, "How many names are there that have not been copied?"
"There are more than three hundred." Himeji replied.
"Then two hundred will be given to Nawaki."
"..."
"I have to go on patrol at night." Nawaki quickly waved his hand.
"What are you patrolling for? You think I don't know that you are going on a date with Nonō." Chen curled his lips, "Hurry up and work, Minato has to help uncle Jiraiya at Land of Wind now, are you embarrassed not to help me?"
Nawaki took Scroll helplessly. After a while, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Chen, have you written a report on my merits for me?"
"It's written. How about single-handedly carrying dozens of Jonins, killing Jinin Akebino, one of Seven Ninja Swordsmens, and making Mist Ninjas tremble in fear...?"
"You can't do this." Nawaki shook his head, "You need to use some rhetorical techniques, not to mention exaggerating, at least to compare it with Fourth Mizukage, right?"
"..."
Chen felt that if Nawaki died, it would be because of his own milk.
"It's time to give yourself a title." Nawaki didn't care about Chen's expression, but muttered while copying.
"Water God... No, this is my title, Second Grandfather. King of Water Release... No, it's too old-fashioned."
Nawaki turned to look at Chen and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"
Chen thought for a while, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Let's call it... Sea King."
