Changing Battle পরিস্থিত

While Shuichi caused chaos behind the Sunagakure, Konoha and Sand Village were still fiercely fighting on the front lines.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

A gust of wind spewed from Orochimaru's mouth, the intense wind pressure blowing away a large group of Sunagakure, while the Konoha Ninjas behind him seized the opportunity to advance.

His attack was not over yet; swarms of venomous snakes followed closely behind, the dense, dark waves of snakes sending chills down one's spine.

However, this wide-ranging offensive was quickly stopped by the enemy. Some of the Sunagakure who could not hold on saw the enemy suddenly entangled in pale golden sand and immediately rushed forward excitedly.

"It's Lord Kazekage!"

Rasa stood behind the Sunagakure, providing support from multiple directions. Konoha had deployed too many skilled ninja; even he was struggling to cope.

"Flowing Sand Waterfall Stream!"

The solid ground was largely turned into sand, and the weight increased even more after being mixed with Gold Dust. The incredibly heavy sand waves swept in, engulfing the slower-reacting Konoha Ninjas and burying a large number of poisonous snakes beneath them.

"Desert Imperial Funeral!"

Unseen underground, sand manipulated by chakra was compressed rapidly, crushing ninjas and venomous snakes to dust under the terrifying pressure, causing them to perish silently underground.

Before the Sunagakure members could even celebrate their surprise attack and kill their opponents, several Trident Kunai suddenly flew towards them. A yellow figure seemed to flash through the air, and then several ninjas were instantly killed.

As soon as Minato dealt with the enemy, Gold Dust rushed towards him from all sides.

However, no matter how fast sand is, it is still sand. He had plenty of time to react and activated Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to another location where the Kunai.

No sooner had he appeared than someone rushed up from behind, a wind blade materializing in his palm, slashing towards him, "Wind Blade!"

"Sizzle..." The attack from the Tosha had already torn through Minato, but he dodged it at the last second.

"Bite!"

Another Jonin, clinging tightly to Tosha's back, narrowly blocked Minato's counterattack from behind with his long sword. When he tried to attack again, he found that his opponent had vanished once more.

"This guy is too much of a threat; his movements are impossible to defend against!"

Tosha and the two Jonin stood back to back. Even though they had prepared a method to deal with Namikaze Minato beforehand, they found that even with their perfect teamwork, they could only barely defend themselves after the actual fight.

The three top-tier Jonin couldn't even be separated too far, otherwise they would all be in danger of being instantly killed. They were completely unable to stop the enemy from killing the lone Sunagakure, and could only be dragged along, putting them in an extremely passive position.

Just as the battle was at its most intense, a White Snake appeared on Orochimaru's body, its tongue flicking out.

"Really? Shuichi-kun succeeded."

Soon, a highly penetrating sound rang out from the battlefield—a retreat signal from the Konoha Village.

The slightly tired Konoha Ninjas breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to retreat safely just as their chakra was running out showed that their commander's judgment of the situation was quite accurate.

Rasa frowned. In this battle, because Konoha had more skilled fighters, Sunagakure suffered some casualties. Once Chiyo's reinforcements arrived, it wouldn't be so easy for Konoha to defeat them directly.

"Lord Kazekage..."

Unexpectedly, a ninja ran towards him in a state of extreme panic. It was an intelligence agent from Sunagakure. "Our rear base was attacked. Almost all the Medical Unit members were killed, and many ninjas were also killed. The total casualties are over a hundred."

"Boom!" Upon hearing the news, Rasa felt as if struck by lightning. A hundred casualties was normal, but the news of the complete annihilation of the Medical Unit was like a heavy hammer hitting his head, leaving him dizzy.

"What did you say?" He had only been Kazekage for a short time, how could something like this happen? He knew exactly how many resources the village needed to train a Medical Ninja.

Looking somewhat distraught, he grabbed the intelligence officer by the collar and roared, "What are those guards in the rear doing? And give us the information about the attackers immediately!"

"This... this... the attackers' appearances are unclear. According to the descriptions of a few survivors, some were from Iwagakure, and some from Amegakure..." The intelligence officer broke out in a cold sweat. Such a major incident, and they didn't even know who did it. The Sunagakure leadership was probably going to be furious.

Upon hearing Rasa wanted to crush the ninja in front of him into a meat patty, but as the Kazekage, he forced himself to calm down and quickly realized Konoha's intention to attack.

"What Iwagakure and Amegakure? It must have been Konoha who did it!"

Considering Orochimaru's sudden all-out attack, forcing our main force to leave the camp, and then the Medical Unit's incident, how could such a coincidence exist in the world? Therefore, the one who ultimately benefits the most must be the murderer.

"Damn it!" Rasa clenched his fists and looked in the distance in the direction of Konoha's retreat. No matter who did it, Orochimaru must have been the one who instigated it.

Now that it's getting dark, turning back to give chase is impossible. "First, block the news; I'll head back immediately."

The village's leader must not act rashly. If the news gets out, some Sunagakure will surely lose their minds and try to chase after them for revenge. The Konoha Village will mercilessly eliminate these suicidal individuals.

At night, at the Konoha command camp, despite the previous offensive having yielded considerable advantages, many ninjas still perished on the battlefield.

Fortunately, Orochimaru had hinted to all the Jonin captains before the battle that they could be a little more conservative, so Konoha's elite forces were still intact, and it was much easier to train "cannon fodder." This was a somewhat cruel reality.

Inside the Medical Unit's quarters, the central room was unusually quiet. Orochimaru watched as Tsunade, with slightly trembling hands, treated an injured Jonin. Her excellent Healing Mystical Palm Technique and abundant chakra allowed the ninja's wounds to heal rapidly, ensuring he would be of great use even if he returned to the battlefield the next day.

Seeing that the treatment was going about as well as he had expected, Orochimaru left and went into the commander's private room.

"Lord Orochimaru, did our tactics succeed?" Only Nara Shikaku and Namikaze Minato were in the room. After meeting Orochimaru, they began to discuss the war.

"Yes, all the Medical Ninjas at the Sunagakure's northern base have been eliminated, reducing their sustained combat capability by at least half."

Shuichi's killing of more than 50 Medical Ninjas dealt a heavy blow to the Sunagakure Medical Department. Although there were still quite a few people left in its southern base and within the Sunagakure, it was essentially cut in half.

The Sunagakure Village was already at a disadvantage when fighting against the Konoha Village, whose war potential far surpassed theirs. Now, the difference in their recovery speed has widened even further. If they don't change their strategy, they will soon be worn down by the Konoha.

Nara Shikaku was somewhat surprised upon hearing this; the person who completed this task must be incredibly capable.

With his sharp mind, he recalled Orochimaru's previous search for special targets and Shuichi's solo mission, and immediately guessed who was behind it.

"Impressive! How did he do that?" To achieve such a great victory by sneaking into the enemy's homeland requires intelligence, mindset, and ability.
