In the afternoon, the offensive in this battle gradually slowed down.
But soon, it got heated again!
Because as a sound broke through the sky, a wide river of sand appeared in the sky.
"It's Master Third Kazekage!"
"Third Kazekage-sama is back!"
Seeing this sand river, the sand ninjas' momentum suddenly surged, and Konoha's offensive slowed down.
But soon, Konoha's stagnant offensive also rose.
Konoha Everyone saw the figure of Third Hokage!
Along the way, Third Hokage was chasing the Sand Ninja under Ebizo, in order to disrupt the speed of Third Kazekage's return.
Third Kazekage didn't know that Orochimaru had launched a general attack, so he struggled with Third Hokage for a long time. He also wanted to capture Sarutobi Hiruzen with Ebizo.
By the time he knew it, a long time had passed, so he hurried back. But when he came back, Kikyō Castle was already in flames of war, and his heart was about to sink to the bottom.
Fortunately, Sunagakure has more ninjas, and coupled with Chiyo's excellent command, Sunagakure still occupies the commanding heights of the terrain, but it is already in danger.
Third Hokage, covered in blood, walked into the Konoha frontline headquarters, and Tsunade immediately surrounded him.
Third Hokage waved his hand and said, "It's all the blood of Suna Ninja."
But Tsunade still laid his palms on Third Hokage, restoring chakra to him.
Third Hokage didn't care, but looked directly at Orochimaru and asked, "What's the situation now?"
Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice, "The losses are huge, eight hundred ninjas have been killed in the battle."
Third Hokage frowned and said coldly, "Kikyō Castle is known as the second Hidden Sand Village, but it was breached by us in First Great Ninja War, and this time will be no exception!"
Third Hokage continued, "You continue to command, I will follow the next batch of attacking ninjas to break into the enemy's formation."
Tsunade hesitated to speak.
But Third Hokage shook his head. "We have already blocked two thousand sand ninjas with Chen before. Now, these are nothing."
Orochimaru took out a breath and said softly, "I understand."
As the sun slowly sets, the battle shows no sign of stopping.
On the battlefield, people are dying anytime and anywhere, and the rate of death is getting faster and faster.
The frequency of Konoha's attacks is also getting faster and faster. The most important thing is that under the continuous impact of their own side, they can clearly feel that Sunagakure's offensive is attenuating.
Chiyo led fifty Puppet Masters and fought on the front line all afternoon. If the Puppets in her hands were not so powerful, and if she were not guarded by several highly skilled Jonins, she would have died long ago.
Inside Kikyō Castle, there were corpses everywhere that had no time to deal with the aftermath, piled up haphazardly.
At this time, Third Kazekage and Third Hokage were afraid of affecting other ninjas and had already gone to fight outside the city. The two commanders Orochimaru and Tsunade also joined the battle as the last force.
The city of Kikyō Castle was filled with Kakkō and roars.
From the beginning of the war to now, in terms of the casualty exchange ratio between the two sides in this war, the sand ninja has been terrible, and has even begun to collapse.
The final result of this war finally began to go as Konoha expected, and the scale of victory tilted towards Konoha.
Late at night.
Third Kazekage finally lost.
However, with the support of Ebizo and Rasa who arrived later, as well as a large number of Sand Ninja's desperate guards, he finally evacuated the battlefield safely, although he looked a little embarrassed.
But Konoha did not pursue blindly in an attempt to expand the results. Their strategic intention had been achieved, which was to break through Kikyō Castle and Hidden Sand Village's last line of defense.
Dawn.
Battle of Kikyō Pass, finally comes to an end.
Just like the beginning of the war, an eagle's call sounded above Kikyō Castle, announcing the end of the war.
Regardless of friend or foe, there were nearly five thousand ninjas inside and outside Kikyō Castle, so they were destined to be unable to hear the sound.
As the commander of this battle, Orochimaru looked at the corpses on the ground, and then sighed softly.
He seemed to hear it, Wind Blow Kikyō Castle.
Weeping and complaining.
One day later, two messages spread throughout Shinobi World:
Hidden Sand Village Two thousand ninjas were wiped out;
Kikyō Castle was broken overnight.
Within a day, the Land of Wind war took a turn for the worse, and Hidden Sand Village was completely defeated.
Shinobi World was in an uproar.
Inside Hidden Stone Village, Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki was floating in mid-air, staring at the huge Shinobi World map that occupied a table, floating around and around.
Ōnoki floated near Land of Grass, stopped for a moment, then went around to Land of Wind, and stopped again.
When I saw the area between Land of Wind and Land of Rain, I stopped for a moment.
He finally floated to the center of the table, held the table with both hands, and said to himself, "How could Kikyō Castle be defeated by Orochimaru and Tsunade in one night? How could Konoha Lightning three people stop two thousand sand ninjas?"
"Third Kazekage, Third Kazekage, you are a piece of shit. "You can definitely hold back Konoha." How can you have the nerve to say this?
I just believed in your evil deeds, and Hidden Stone Village fell to this point! "
Ōnoki slammed the table angrily, which could be described as the anger of the head of state, as if he wanted to feed Third Kazekage to Stalin.
After being furious for a while, Ōnoki took a calm breath and sat on the chair.
"According to the current intelligence, Konoha lost at least 2,500 ninjas in the battle of Kikyō Castle. Even if they defeat Hidden Sand Village now, they cannot immediately support other battlefields."
"There are now three battlefields left, Land of Hot Water and Land of Rain, both of which have Princess Tsunade's disciples in charge. There is a high probability that Princess Tsunade will go to Land of Grass.
As for Orochimaru... Should he go to Land of Hot Water's opponent Cloud Shinobi, or should he go to the Land of Rain border to support Konoha Lightning? "
Ōnoki It was difficult to decide for the moment.
Ōnoki, who had been looking at the map, suddenly lost his sight and said to himself, "How about letting Han also participate in the war?"
But he quickly vetoed it.
"No, it's too risky. Roshi has no choice but to go to the battlefield. What if Five-Tails Jinchuriki enters the battlefield again and something goes wrong?"
Shinobi World is not lucky, Iwagakure cannot afford to gamble, and Iwagakure is not to the point where he must gamble!
The most troublesome thing is not here.
Ōnoki looked at Hidden Sand Village.
The defeat of this ally was inevitable, and Hidden Sand Village's losses were extremely heavy.
But what if Third Kazekage declares war on Hidden Stone Village in order to stop losses?
It's not impossible.
Now the war may continue for another year or two. Sunagakure is now out of the war. If he waits until later to learn from Hidden Cloud Village, and suddenly gets involved, and remotely attacks Land of Earth, there will be no place to cry.
Third Tsuchikage has never been afraid to speculate on other countries with the worst possible malice.
