Three days after the battle, Land of Lightning, Kumogakure.
"Ai, I hope this failure will make you reflect carefully. As the commander-in-chief of a country, you actually attack without authorization and continue to go deep into dangerous areas to stimulate the enemy... You have paid the price for your overestimation. The large number of sacrifices Cloud Hidden Ninja this time is all due to your carelessness."
Kumogakure In a ward in the Ninja Hospital, Kumogakure's old consultant was criticizing the young Kage.
Not to mention whether the consultant's criticism is justified or not, whether it is an afterthought or not, in short, for this old guy, it is actually a good thing for this old guy to get a chance to preach to show his wisdom and presence.
It should be said that the consultants in each ninja village are obviously different, but in fact they are almost exactly the same.
"This defeat is not irreversible. We can reorganize our forces and attack Land of Rice again." Fourth Raikage said. He is still a bit young after all, and his failure to respond directly to the advisor's accusations shows that he is somewhat guilty.
"Lord Raikage, please don't move." Medical Ninja said next to him.
Because Fourth Raikage seemed a little excited, he wanted to sit up while talking, which made a bunch of medical instruments hanging on his body jingle.
Then he was slapped back unceremoniously by Medical Ninja.
"What's the point of re-entering Land of Rice? At this stage of the war, everyone can see that we can't gain anything in the war. Even if we can re-enter Land of Rice, it will only add sacrifices. What other meaning is there? Ai, don't use the military strength of a country for your own selfish desires, you just want to vent your emotions, Kumogakure's ninjas can't pay for Shadow's mistakes for the second time..." the consultant continued.
"Does Kumogakure want to end the war in defeat?" Of course Fourth Raikage is not just motivated by selfish desires. He knows that this failure will put Kumogakure at a disadvantage in the subsequent negotiations, so he wants to organize another counterattack, but the advisors do not agree with him.
Fourth Raikage was so excited that he wanted to jump again, but he was almost pinched by Medical Ninja and pinned down on the hospital bed.
This Medical Ninja signaled Raikage not to get excited and then "leave me alone".
She raised her head and said to the consultant, "Sir consultant, Lord Raikage is in danger now. We must remove the heavy metals from his body as soon as possible. Although the dose of this substance is not large, it is very deadly... This is a hospital, not Raikage's Office, so please leave here immediately."
Then she pointed to the door and repeated, "Right away."
Consultant: "..."
The old guy opened his mouth, and then obediently closed the door of the ward outside.
The greatest doctor in the world, the excellent Medical Ninja, doesn't care about so-called politicians. This is a hospital. Who are you trying to show off to?
Seeing this situation, Fourth Raikage rarely became quiet...
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.
Konoha drove the Kumogakure forces out of Land of Rice and won a larger strategic space for itself. Then what? Then there was no more. Konoha has no spare power to penetrate Land of Frost and then attack Land of Lightning's homeland to the north. Moreover, even if Konoha can still maintain such combat effectiveness, they will not do so.
Kumogakure is not Sunagakure, and Konoha is not the Konoha of forty years ago. If we fight in Land of Lightning's homeland, to be fair, there is no reason why Kumogakure will lose.
After this battle, the military demarcation line between Konoha and Kumogakure advanced north to the national border between Land of Rice and Land of Frost. After the victory,, Konoha did not adopt an aggressive attitude, but took the lead in withdrawing its troops. Soon, Konoha's military strength in Land of Rice was reduced to only more than a thousand people.
This is a very pragmatic attitude, which is equivalent to telling Kumogakure clearly that although I bullied you before, we still have to talk about it next.
The winning side is the first to reduce the number of troops on the front line. As long as Kumogakure has no brains and Fourth Raikage has a little bit of basic political literacy, then they will not be able to add more troops to the front line... What, Konoha has just withdrawn its troops and you have to force them to bring back the troops, right?
All in all, the military advantage can allow Konoha to assume a more appropriate political posture. Logically speaking, the two sides can start negotiations on ending the war. But unfortunately, Land of Lightning is a military power, and they couldn't lose face for a while, so the matter became deadlocked again for a while.
Then there was a stalemate for half a year.
It is impossible for the war to happen again, but sporadic conflicts still occur from time to time in the past six months, and Konoha has not returned to the front line since Yuhara was last transferred to the front line.
This is his first time on the battlefield.
However, he has no complaints about this arrangement. Firstly, Konoha Ninja has stayed on the battlefield for several years. His situation is considered normal. Secondly, he has lived a relatively fulfilling life in the past six months.
Although Yuhara seems to be pretty strong at this time, if you break down his strength stage, it can be simply divided into three periods. The first is the rookie period, and then is the period when the strength suddenly increases after mastering Six Rulers Technique and his own unique Kekkei Tōta, and then is the period of small progress and relative stagnation... Or simply put, after the second period, it is difficult for him to improve his strength so much.
Yuhara does not have contact lenses and his tattoos are not formal. He needs to think carefully about how to improve his strength in the future.
However, compared with future plans, what is actually more important is that Yuhara lacks a "consolidation period". It is not a good thing for his strength to rise too fast. Although Yuhara has always boasted that he has a primary school diploma by himself, he is by no means the kind of ninja with a solid foundation.
Then he spent the past six months to strengthen himself. The specific method is...
Spawn monsters.
After that battle, Yuhara quickly mastered the new Nature Energy perception ability, and he quickly became an excellent perception ninja. He then named this new perception mode "Mina Shikyō". After being able to use perception techniques of this scale, Yuhara can accurately spawn monsters.
In the afternoon of this day, the two-person team of Yuhara and Tenzo was hiding in a dense forest in Land of Frost. Then Yuhara began to mobilize a specific Nature Energy, and then he entered the "search mode".
"Is the other party here today?" Tenzo asked from the side.
Yuhara felt it carefully for a while, and then he found the specific Chakra, "Found it, in the northeast, it is still a two-person group... let's go."
After finishing speaking, Yuhara started moving first, and Tenzo followed closely behind. It was obvious that they were heading for a specific goal, and Yuhara readjusted their direction twice during the period.
Twenty minutes later, the two stopped in front of a certain two Cloud Hidden Ninja.
"Why are you so upset again? Can you just let me run away?"
Well, judging from this tone of voice, Cloud Hidden Ninja found by Yuhara is exactly Eight-Tails Jinchuriki who is active more frequently in Land of Frost.
Killer B is not afraid of Yuhara, he just thinks Yuhara is as annoying as brown candy. He has encountered Yuhara several times in the past six months, and every battle between the two sides has no outcome, so of course Killer B is not willing to encounter such an enemy, but the opponent seems to enjoy it.
It is impossible for Killer B to perform Tailed Beast Transformation every time. If Tailed Beast Transformation is used, he has to guard against Yuhara's Rasenshuriken. But if he only uses Lightning Release and swordsmanship, he will It is very difficult to kill Yuhara... Based on Taijutsu's specialized skills, Killer B allows Yuhara to beat him with both hands. However, the problem is that he has always been at an advantage but has no way to win.
After several battles, Yuhara's moves were almost exposed. Therefore, after losing the intelligence advantage, it was even more nonsense for him to want to solve Eight-Tails.
Another reason why Killer B doesn't want to meet Yuhara is that he knows what Yuhara is doing... the other party is using him to practice.
This is easy to judge, because Yuhara can obviously directly seize control of Killer B's opponent's sharp blade, but he has never done so several times. Instead, he likes to sign with him seriously and strictly. So Killer B had to become a "sparing partner", and he had to help his enemy Konoha Ninja solidify his foundation and increase his ninja literacy.
But Yuhara didn't even pay.
After fighting monsters several times, Yuhara cannot be said to be as skilled as Taijutsu so quickly, but his ability to control his own limbs in battle has significantly improved. The opponent can benefit, but he gets nothing. Therefore, when Killer B later encountered Yuhara, he really wanted to run away... There was really no point in fighting.
Of course, Yuhara dared to play like this mainly because the AB group broke up. After Ai became Fourth Raikage, it was no longer possible for him to perform live performances with Killer B as often as before. During the mission, he had to squat in the office to deal with various things. And if there was only one Eight-Tails Jinchuriki on the battlefield, then things would be easy to say. Even if there was an emergency, Yuhara could at least run away.
But this time it was different. Although Killer B still expressed that he felt upset when he saw Yuhara, his teammate was different this time... In a sense, his teammate didn't take much advantage of Yuhara's attacks.
"Master Bi, is this the ninja?" The middle-aged ninja asked Killer B.
"Yeah." Killer B nodded.
Next, just when Yuhara launched an attack on Killer B and waved Mercury Longsword to prepare to challenge Eight-Sword Style again, this Cloud Hidden Ninja came forward first.
"Huh?"
Yuhara slashed straight with his sword, and then he hit something that was particularly difficult to cut. Mercury Longsword's blade only penetrated a short distance, and then couldn't make any progress.
This is because the ninja teaming up with Kirabi at this time is called Dodai. He is Kumogakure's Melting Release ninja, and the way he uses Melting Release is quite special... It is not used for offense, but mostly for defense and control.
Yuhara and Mercury Longsword seemed to have hit a ball of polymer rubber.
Now it's broken, and those who play iron meet those who work in chemical industry.
