Shimura Danzo had his subordinates take a headcount. In the end, they determined that Konoha had lost a total of six hundred ninjas across all battlefields, with another thousand wounded. They had only suffered minor injuries, though, and were now being treated by the medical corps. They would be ready to return to battle soon.
Sunagakure, on the other hand, had lost at least four thousand ninjas. A thousand had been killed by the Uchiha Clan, eight hundred by the Senju forces, and the remaining 2,200 by ninjas from the various clans in the battle just now.
Looking at the casualty ratio of one to seven, Shimura Danzo could barely contain his grin. He glanced at Uchiha Kō, who had woken up after receiving Tsunade's attentive care, and gave him a friendly smile.
Uchiha Kō nodded and smiled back. The two understood each other without a word, each with his own plans.
The force of eight thousand now had 7,400 men left. After hearing Danzo's report, they looked at him with admiration. Who would have thought Commander Danzo had such incredible military prowess?
Shimura Danzo was enjoying their admiring gazes. Watching him, Uchiha Kō reflected that, sure enough, everyone liked being praised and hearing nice things.
"Kō, what are you looking at? Lord Danzo?" Tsunade asked, looking at Uchiha Kō with a slightly dazed expression. She knew he was the one really in command.
But giving Danzo credit for the victories had been the old man's order. Honestly, that old man! Hmph!
At the thought, she puffed out her cheeks. Uchiha Kō snapped back to the present, looked at Tsunade, and couldn't help smiling. "Yes. Look, doesn't Lord Danzo have a sunny smile? No one is born wanting to hide underground and become a shadow."
Tsunade blinked. "Huh?" She couldn't
