Konoha Year 39, a piece of news after the summer heat, shocked Shinobi World.
Facing the Konoha troops of less than three thousand people, the Iwagakure army was defeated again and again.
First, nearly half of the ninjas were lost in the battle on the southern front. Four-Tails Jinchuriki Roshi was captured. Bunga led the remaining Iwagakure and retreated to Kannabi Bridge.
After that, the village once again supported thousands of ninjas, and the Iwagakure army greatly increased its strength. Surprisingly, within a few months, they were eaten crazily by Konoha, and the transportation line leading to Land of Grass was completely paralyzed.
After this battle, Commander Bunga became a joke, second only to Third Kazekage who was captured by four young men Konoha.
The ninjas and civilians in Hidden Stone Village were furious at the defeat of Bunga. Land of Grass has been supporting for so long, and both sides have only won and lost each other. They even suppressed Konoha for a time, but Land of Earth was almost pushed all the way to his hometown.
It was as if the middle lane was still in the laning phase, but when I looked back, I saw that the top lane had collapsed. All the outer towers had been pushed down in eight minutes, and the entire jungle area had also fallen.
What a slap in the face.
In addition to Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, the eight elders of Council of Elders and some family patriarchs all launched waves of impeachments against the commander, and they were well-founded.
It is said that he ignored the orders in the village and started a war with Konoha without authorization. Not only was he lacking in strength, but he also failed to mobilize his troops. Facing Konoha's three thousand ninjas, he was reduced to a point of vulnerability!
The powerful Land of Earth, where is the national prestige?
Bunga on the battlefield did not care about the rumors in the village. He and his men turned out to be old turtles in a jar. Even he himself found it ridiculous.
Bunga is not too old, only about thirty years old, but no matter how he hides it, he shows a trace of fatigue, and there are two big dark circles on his eyes.
He had never fought such a frustrating battle, four thousand ninjas against four thousand ninjas, even if he failed to win, it was nothing. After all, his opponent was Orochimaru, one of Konoha Lightning, White Fang and Sannin.
But the subsequent development of the situation made him almost violently murderous.
Konoha Ninja made several consecutive attacks, all of which suddenly appeared near Iwa-nin's team, and all the reconnaissance ninjas became decorations.
Originally, there was a gap between Iwa-nin and Konoha Ninja in terms of personal strength. Now, the number of ninjas Konoha attacks every time is several times his own strength.
They can only be massacred one-sidedly on the battlefield!
Judging from the data in the battle report, it is more like Bunga soldiers are divided into groups, with two hundred people in a team at a time, and then go to die in batches.
No wonder the elders in the village were angry.
Later, after confirmation by the spy lurking in Konoha, Hidden Stone Village finally got an important piece of information: Konoha Lightning has mastered Flying Thunder God Technique and can teleport hundreds of ninjas instantly!
So how can we fight here?
If the encroachment continues like this, it will only be a matter of time before Iwagakure is defeated.
So due to the war situation, Ōnoki had no choice but to give a secret order, allowing Bunga to drive straight down from Kannabi Bridge.
Finally, they stopped dozens of miles away from Konoha's army, and adopted a commanding attitude to fight to the death. In this way, they could cope with Grass Hidden Village's thousands of troops and successfully withdraw Land of Earth.
Yes, Iwagakure is finally withdrawing its troops.
Land of Grass, Iwagakure Base.
Kitsuchi was sitting on the grass outside the camp, with Jonin sitting next to him, wiping the sword in his hand.
The ninja was halfway through the fight when he suddenly said angrily, "This Bunga is a loser. The total number of troops in his hands is at least more than seven thousand, and he can't even beat Konoha Ninja who has penetrated deep into Land of Earth!"
Mabiru is an extremely young Jonin. It is not an exaggeration to call him a genius.
Geniuses like this usually keep their eyes high and look down on others, especially when they persisted in Land of Grass for so long, but unexpectedly they were withdrawn because of problems within Land of Earth. Of course he was unhappy.
But Kitsuchi said calmly, "You can't blame Bunga, what he is best at is Sealing Jutsu.
The old man sent him into the battlefield to restrain Roshi, but he didn't expect that Roshi would be captured so quickly. "
Kitsuchi, as a ninja at the same time as Bunga, knows him very well.
As for the rumors in the village, they have been suppressed by Third Tsuchikage.
Ōnoki is not stupid, so he will not casually remove Bunga from his position just because of defeat.
The elders in the village who yelled and cursed were also not really stupid. How could they not know how powerful Konoha Ninja is?
For many words, knowing it in your stomach is one thing, but speaking it out is another thing.
Mabiru was silent for a moment and asked, "Is Konoha Lightning really that powerful?"
Mabiru still recognizes the strength of Roshi.
Even if Tailed Beast's power is not used, he and Kitsuchi together may not be their opponents.
But such a strong man was captured like this.
It can only be said that even though over the years, I have become accustomed to hearing Konoha Lightning and Daimyo, and even my ears have become calloused, only when I really face that man can I truly feel how terrifying he is.
Kitsuchi was silent for a moment and nodded seriously. "It's really powerful. Mangekyo Sharingan won't say it anymore. He has now mastered Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique... I wouldn't be surprised if such a monster suddenly learned the old man's Dust Release one day."
Mabiru sighed, "Then why fight? Even if we successfully return to Land of Earth, Tsunade and Shinnosuke will follow us and successfully complete the rendezvous of Konoha's army.
Together with the extremely powerful Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Konoha, there are three Tailed Beast. Can we really win? "
"I heard that the defeat agreement signed by Kirigakure and Hidden Sand Village is not too harsh. It is better to surrender early."
Kitsuchi glanced at Mabiru, "Those middle- and lower-class ninjas in the village are stupid, and you are stupid too? Konoha has a chance to win, don't we?"
Mabiru was stunned for a moment and said with a look of horror, "The village really plans to kill Konoha Ninja in Land of Earth? Could it be that Lord Third Tsuchikage is going to take action personally?"
Kitsuchi looked into the distance and said with a sneer, "The old man... he's not the only one. The village paid a big price for this war.
You kid, keep your eyes wide open and watch carefully. In this war, the village made a textbook comeback! "
Mabiru chuckled and said, "Then I'll wait and see."
Two days later, Iwagakure finally finished cleaning up.
Vast plains, vast battlefields.
Kitsuchi with a serious face looked up in the direction of Konoha Base, then looked back at those Iwagakure Ninja.
Kitsuchi murmured, "If you win, it will probably be Hidden Stone Village's last battle. If you lose, it will be the last battle!"
He said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
The army slowly moved out, and Iwa-nin was finally leaving Land of Grass, who had stayed there for three years.
In Land of Earth, there is still one last fierce battle to fight.
