Land of Fire border, Cloud Ninja battlefield,
Also in the command tent in the center of the battlefield, men with two hair colors, one yellow and one white, were discussing battlefield intelligence.
They are the master and apprentice Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze who are in charge of the Cloud Ninja battlefield respectively.
At this time Minato Namikaze is reporting the situation,
"Teacher Jiraiya,"
"Cloud Ninja's offensive has been slowly retreating recently,"
"Even the AB duo who were active before have disappeared."
"I don't know if they really want to end the war, or if they are preparing other plots."
Minato Namikaze frowned and reported the recent situation on the Cloud Ninja battlefield,
He has been charging on the front line of the Cloud Ninja battlefield, and has repeatedly fought against AB Duo who harassed the Konoha troops on the border.
But recently, there seemed to be fewer Cloud Ninja disturbing the border, leaving him a little confused.
'Why did the war end so quickly?!'
According to real war standards, Cloud Ninja and Konoha have not started fighting yet. They are all spy battles between small forces. The total number of casualties does not even amount to four digits.
Jiraiya smiled when he heard this and handed Minato Namikaze an information scroll.
Minato took it and looked through it,
"After the failure of Iwagakure Ninja's surprise attack on Land of Wind battlefield, they retreated back to Iwagakure."
"Third Raikage led elite troops to intercept the sneak attack,"
"But Ōnoki was also prepared and had troops ambushed around him,"
"Ōnoki and Third Raikage led the armies of both sides to fight for a day and a night."
"Changed the terrain within several kilometers and flattened half of the peaks in Cloud Ninja"
"Ōnoki's waist injury relapsed seriously, Third Raikage was cut off half of his palm by Dust Release"
"After both sides suffered losses, they retreated separately."
Minato Namikaze was stunned when he saw the information. No wonder Cloud Ninja's offensive suddenly weakened.
It turns out that the main force went to surprise Iwagakure Ninja
And looking at how both sides are hurting now, Konoha probably can't be taken care of.
After all, except for Konoha, who has a rich background in two-front combat, not every ninja village can do it.
Jiraiya nodded when he heard this and analyzed,
"That's right."
"Ōnoki and Third Raikage are naturally not fuel-efficient lamps."
"Now they are two tigers fighting..."
"We Konoha also benefit from it"
"Now it seems that the war is almost over."
Minato Namikaze was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
"War."
"It's almost over."
It's not that the war ended too slowly, but that it ended too quickly!
You must know that ordinary Ninja World wars cannot end so easily. Both sides have considerable background, coupled with unfair resource allocation and ancient hatred.
Several great ninja villages just wanted to punch the dog's brains out.
The duration can range from a few months to a year and a half at most.
How can this Ninja World war last for less than a month starting from Sand Ninja first declaring war on Konoha.
Compared with the previous cruel and long wars, this third Ninja World war is quite anticlimactic.
Thinking of this Minato Namikaze, I couldn't help but look at the first sentence of the information scroll in my hand,
"The surprise attack on Land of Wind battlefield at Iwagakure Ninja failed."
He knew in his heart that the reason why this Ninja World war ended in such an anticlimactic manner was precisely because of the appearance of one person, or rather because of the emergence of a new God of Shinobi - Nara Dan.
While directly ending the Sand Ninja battlefield with a crushing force, it also directly massacred the Iwagakure Ninja battlefield and Mist Ninja battlefield with lightning speed.
This led Cloud Ninja to sneak attack the damaged Iwagakure Ninja, causing both sides to suffer losses.
As a result, the Cloud Ninja battlefield did not expand further and slowly moved towards peace.
All of this is because Nara Dan showed absolute dominance on the battlefield, beating Tailed Beast away. Strong men of the same level could not restrain him in the slightest, and casually released super S-rank Ninjutsu that was comparable to Tailed Beast Bomb.
These undoubtedly show the fact to the major ninja villages - the new God of Shinobi has arrived. From now on, this era will be named after Nara Dan.
These events undoubtedly have mixed feelings for Minato Namikaze.
As a Konoha person, he certainly hopes that his Ninja Village will be strong and remain peaceful.
As an individual, he also felt a little sad for himself,
If in normal times, Minato Namikaze's record of fighting one against two on the Cloud Ninja battlefield and not falling behind against two strong men of the same level would be enough to make him famous.
In an instant, you can gain a reputation comparable to that of a shadow.
Even if there was no accident, teacher Jiraiya would not fight with him, Orochimaru was refrigerated, and senior Tsunade suffered from a fatal disease.
If there are no accidents, the location of Fourth Hokage is not far from Minato Namikaze.
But now the situation is completely different, even though Minato Namikaze's strength and record are excellent or even outstanding.
But that is compared with strong men of the same level. If compared with God of Shinobi
There is no comparison with Dharma Form. Minato Namikaze thinks that it is more than one level worse than Nara Dan.
At least he has no way to effectively contain Tailed Beast, let alone suppress it.
For the battlefield, Minato Namikaze is confident that he can also achieve complete suppression among the middle and lower-level ninjas by relying on Flying Thunder God and his own nerve reaction speed.
But similarly, when being restrained by one or several strong men of the same level, Minato Namikaze himself can barely maintain an unbeatable situation.
Because every shadow is a strong man who has experienced hundreds of battles and surpassed human limits,
Although Flying Thunder God is fast, it is not impossible to react.
This is the essential difference between Minato Namikaze and Nara Dan. One is still in the category of human beings, but the other has already rushed towards the realm of gods.
Jiraiya looked at Minato Namikaze's entranced look, knowing that a disciple is like a teacher, Jiraiya immediately understood what Minato Namikaze was thinking,
You must know that Hokage Position has always been Minato Namikaze's dream and has been working hard for it,
But now it is obvious that with Nara Dan's achievements in front of him, Minato's achievements seem so insignificant, and it is difficult to convince the public no matter what.
But Jiraiya himself is not worried. As Konoha High Command, the fact that Nara Dan disobeys Hokage's orders is not a secret.
This also confirmed his worries - Nara Dan is indeed not the successor of Will of Fire, everything he does has his own purpose.
But he still patted Minato on the shoulder and reluctantly comforted him,
"Minato. Don't be too frustrated"
"Anyway, the war is over."
"Konoha doesn't have many casualties..."
"This is already a pretty good result."
Minato Namikaze also knew that these were just words of comfort from teacher Jiraiya, so he managed to maintain his usual sunny smile and said,
"I'm fine, Teacher Jiraiya,"
"Of course I know that this is the best result!"
Jiraiya sighed in his heart when he heard this. He himself was not good at comforting people. He also knew that the broken dream in his heart was not a problem that could be solved by simple comfort.
Before Jiraiya could continue to say anything to Minato, a report came from the subordinates outside.
"Lord Jiraiya!"
"Anbu's ninjas have information to pass on!"
With that said, the subordinate handed an encrypted intelligence scroll to Jiraiya,
Jiraiya frowned when he opened it.
It is not the Hokage Anbu information encryption method that Jiraiya is familiar with, but another encryption method that Jiraiya is aware of but is not familiar with.
Root's intelligence encryption method!
Apparently it was the information sent by this guy Danzo.
Root's intelligence encryption method is much more complicated than Hokage's direct descendant Anbu. Fortunately, as an intelligence veteran, Jiraiya only glanced twice and read the meaning.
Immediately afterwards, Jiraiya frowned even deeper, and even his face became a little gloomy.
"Whoops!"
Jiraiya directly threw the information scroll to his subordinates again and ordered,
"Return this scroll intact to the guys outside."
"He will know what I mean."
Although the subordinates were a little confused, they still nodded in agreement and went down to return the information scroll.
Minato Namikaze saw something was wrong with Jiraiya's expression and asked quickly,
"What happened?!"
"Jiraiya teacher?!"
Jiraiya shook his head,
"It's not the information from Lord Third, it's from Danzo."
Minato Namikaze is a little surprised. Logically speaking, the Hokage series has almost no intersection with Danzo. Whether it is the business scope or the sphere of influence, they are not in the same system.
But according to what I heard about Danzo's behavior, if Danzo suddenly came to Jiraiya, there must be nothing good going on.
Then, Jiraiya continued,
"Danzo wants us to help him,"
"Ambush Nara Dan on his way back to the village."
Perhaps it was Danzo's behavior that stimulated Jiraiya. He did not hide Danzo's thoughts and behavior, but directly told Minato Namikaze,
"What?!"
Minato Namikaze was shocked for a moment. As the successor of Will of Fire, he could not imagine that Danzo, the disciple of Second and the right-hand man of Third, would actually have such thoughts and behaviors!?
Jiraiya saw much more darkness than Minato Namikaze, and his expression was as usual, but he also disagreed with Danzo's approach.
Although for Nara Dan Jiraiya also has nervous fears, but Jiraiya has the bottom line of being a Konoha ninja. Even if Nara Dan really will be punished for disobeying orders, Jiraiya will only follow the orders of Hokage, not Danzo.
Furthermore, although Nara Dan did not obey the orders of Third and returned to Konoha immediately,
But in the end, Nara Dan saved his companions at an extremely fast speed and ended the war. This is not wrong in the sense of justice.
If because of this incident, I punish Nara Dan or even want to kill Nara Dan,
The Konoha ninja whose life was saved directly or indirectly by Nara Dan will launch a huge public opinion and tear all the senior officials of the Hokage series to pieces!
Don't talk about Jiraiya at that time, I'm afraid Third won't have the shame to stay at Konoha.
In the eyes of Konoha's middle and lower class ninjas, Nara Dan is the hero who ended the war. Those who stand on the opposite side of the hero can only be enemies.
