After a half-hour fierce chase, the Cloud Village ninja finally succeeded in getting rid of the Special Zone Ninja Army and Ninja Clan Allied Forces and returned to his stronghold after paying a heavy price of thousands of corpses.
After counting, out of the 5,000 Cloud Village ninjas originally dispatched, only over 3,000 were left.
In other words, Kumogakure defeated nearly two thousand ninjas in this battle alone.
Raikage A was so angry that he smashed seven or eight tables in a row and roared all the time.
In contrast, Thunder-Moon Canyon.
Special Zone Ninja Army's casualties were not very large, but more than a hundred ninjas died. However, Ninja Clan Allied Forces's casualties were a bit larger, six to seven hundred people died.
On the one hand, this is because during the battle, they all fought in small groups with Cloud Village. Once they encountered him, he or you would die, and very few of them were seriously injured and were sent back.
On the other hand, when the Taijutsu army used military formations to contain them, the ninjutsu army behind them kept releasing a wide range of ninjutsu.
Ninja Clan Allied Forces is too scattered and will inevitably be affected.
Due to a combination of factors, a defensive battle that relied on terrain could turn out like this.
The battle damage was almost one to two, Yan was shaking his head when he saw it.
Now, the sky is getting darker.
Above the sky, a bright moon hangs high, casting a silvery glow, covering the earth like a soft veil.
During this period, Cloud Village organized another attack, but was quickly beaten back, leaving three to four hundred corpses again.
Outside Thunder-Moon Canyon.
The originally lush land has now been ravaged by the war and has been transformed beyond recognition.
On the charred land, the pits and pits were like hideous scars, telling the story of the tragic battle they had just experienced.
The trees that were blown down fell to the ground in various directions, and some were still burning, with plumes of black smoke rising.
Broken weapons and ninja corpses can be seen everywhere on the battlefield.
Blood dyed a large area of land red, showing a strange dark red color under the moonlight.
Some of the dead ninjas had distorted faces, while others were lying quietly, as if they had just fallen into a deep sleep.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, which made people sick.
From time to time, the night wind blew by, blowing the debris and broken flags on the ground, making a rustling sound, adding to the desolation.
In the distance, the Cloud Village ninja stronghold was brightly lit all night long and crowded with people, as if they were silently preparing for the next attack.
Thunder-Moon Canyon in.
Yan, Senju Tobirama and Tsunade were sitting in the camp, surrounded by many ninja clan leaders.
After the two battles tomorrow and tonight, they also understand that the losses suffered in a small team encounter in this situation are really too great.
Especially when compared with the Special Zone Ninja Army, the ratio of casualties between the two formed a strong contrast that they could not accept.
"Yan, Chief Yan!"
Hyuga Hiashi, who had a pair of snow-white pupils open, hesitated for a moment, glanced at the clan leader behind him with his peripheral vision, and said with a solemn expression.
"I have discussed with the clan leaders of all the major ninja clans. During the Thunder-Fire War period, all Ninja Clan Allied Forces under my command will be under the full command of Special Zone."
Yan raised his head, glanced at the many ninja clan leaders in the circle with a half-smile, and said.
"Are you sure you want to hand over the command to me?"
"Yes!"
Hyuga Hiashi nodded heavily, and the ninja clan leader behind him also echoed.
"We believe in you, Chief Yan."
"Yes, we are not ignorant people. Allied Shinobi Forces can play a greater role in your hands."
"My clan has always fully supported Chief Yan!"
"..."
Listening to the compliments coming from his ears, Yan smiled slightly and added under the expectant gazes of everyone.
"As promised in advance, since you want to hand over the command to me, your clansmen must obey my orders."
"That's natural, we all believe in you!"
Yan nodded, turned to look at Tekka standing aside, and gave instructions.
"Tekka, then you are a little tired and go and integrate Ninja Clan Allied Forces."
"Disorganize and reorganize them, and clearly divide them according to military types, but don't weave them together with the Special Zone Ninja Army, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Tekka turned and left after receiving the order.
Immediately afterwards, Yan looked at the clan leaders again and continued.
"Can you understand that I don't combine Allied Shinobi Forces and Special Zone Ninja Army?"
Hyuga Hiashi and the clan leader behind him nodded repeatedly and said.
"Understood, we all understand."
"After all, time is too short. If we merge rashly, coordination errors will inevitably occur."
"That's right, if something unexpected happens because of this, we will die without mercy."
"..."
Yan smiled with satisfaction and waved to everyone.
"Is there anything else? If nothing happens, just go out!"
After a while, the number of people in the camp began to decrease rapidly, and soon only Yan, Senju Tobirama and Tsunade were left.
"Boy Yan!" Senju Tobirama's eyes were solemn, he took out a piece of information from his arms and put it in front of Yan.
"This is the information from Konoha. It seems that Land of Wind and Land of Earth have begun to send more troops to the border."
Yan picked up the information on the table and glanced at it, then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Ōnoki and Rasa move pretty fast!"
At this time, Tsunade had a hint of worry on his face, "Ōnoki may wait a little longer, but Rasa may not."
"After Third Shinobi World War ended, most of Sunagakure's mission entrustments were handed over to Konoha. Coupled with Land of Wind's lack of resources, Sunagakure was already on the verge of collapse."
"They didn't dare before, but now that they know that I, Konoha, have seven thousand ninja troops outside, they might repeat Third Shinobi World War's behavior again and attack Konoha on a large scale to ease the conflicts in the village."
"Do we really want to keep dragging it on?"
"..."
In response, Yan just silently put the information on the table, turned to Senju Tobirama and said.
"Release the news that Land of Rice Fields and Shisui are leading the army to enter!"
Senju Tobirama's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, "Do you want to..." Then a sinister smile appeared on his face.
Tsunade, who was watching on the sidelines, was confused as to what the two of them were thinking about.
The next day, the sun hung in the sky.
Iwagakure on the other side of Ninja World in the distance.
The short Ōnoki is sitting behind the desk, handling daily affairs in the village.
At this time, Kitsuchi, the son of Tsuchikage, suddenly pushed the door open and said with a slightly excited expression.
"Father, what a good news!"
As he spoke, he quickly ran to the desk, handed a piece of information to Ōnoki, and continued.
"Konoha and Cloud Village really started fighting. Konoha sent at least six to seven thousand ninjas to attack Land of Lightning. Now Thunder-Moon Canyon has been defeated."
Ōnoki frowned after hearing this. He immediately picked up the information on the table and read it. After a long time, he put it down.
"It seems that we have sent a little less ninjas to the border. I thought Konoha was just trying to get some interest. It seems that they are really going for a full-scale war."
"Are they crazy?"
But at this time, Kitsuchi had no intention of caring about this and said with a very urgent expression.
"Father, this is an opportunity. Konoha has sent at least six to seven thousand ninjas out. Now the interior must be empty. The time has come to completely destroy Konoha."
Seeing his son's expression of joy and anger, Ōnoki became furious and cursed angrily.
"Asshole, I told you, no matter what happens, you must be calm and calm. How can you make me trust you and hand over Iwagakure to you?"
Kitsuchi, who was scolded, immediately restrained the expression on his face, curled his lips, and whispered.
"Then let's fight or not!"
"How many ninjas are there on the border now!" Ōnoki asked.
Kitsuchi replied, "Land of Rain border two thousand five, Land of Grass border one thousand."
After listening, Ōnoki nodded thoughtfully.
Land of Rain The border is because the demigod Hanzo is there, so so many ninjas are sent there.
As for Land of Grass, it was mainly because Uchiha Yan destroyed Kusagakure some time ago, and the threat was reduced rapidly, so there was no need for many ninjas to be stationed.
After Ōnoki pondered for a moment, he gave instructions to Kitsuchi.
"Send two thousand more ninjas to the Land of Grass border to test Konoha's reaction!"
"Okay!"
Kitsuchi left Tsuchikage's office after accepting the order, but soon returned with a slightly troubled expression.
"What's wrong?" Ōnoki said dissatisfied.
"Father, father, there is actually another message, which I feel is quite important."
"Say!"
"Orochimaru, as a rebel nin, established a ninja village in Land of Rice Fields. Now Konoha has issued a message saying that Orochimaru has returned to the Konoha Ninja sequence, and Land of Rice Fields's ninja village has been changed to a branch village of Konoha."
"Shisui Uchiha has been sent with thousands of ninjas to take over Land of Rice Fields."
The words just fell.
Wow~
After hearing the message, Ōnoki stood up and swept the files on the table to the ground, becoming furious.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
At this time, Kitsuchi's expression was stiff and he replied, "Didn't you forget? I feel it is more important to attack Land of Fire."
That slightly aggrieved tone echoed in the empty office, making Ōnoki, who was already dissatisfied, even more angry, and his outstretched fingers were trembling all the time.
"You... you... you..."
"Hey! Forget it, now you take three thousand ninjas to Land of Grass, and upon arrival, directly cross the border and occupy the northwest territory."
"Remember, no matter what Konoha's reaction is, tell me first and you are not allowed to make any arbitrary decisions. Do you understand?"
Kitsuchi: "..."
"Understand?" Ōnoki roared again.
The silence was interrupted, Kitsuchi was so frightened that he nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand, I understand!"
"Get out!"
The large office returned to calm again.
Ōnoki, who was still angry, sat back on the chair, held his forehead with one hand, and sighed repeatedly.
'How could I have such a son? He is so useless.'
Immediately, I was deeply worried about Konoha's behavior of sending Shisui Uchiha to settle in Land of Rice Fields.
"What a troubled time!"
Ninja World is in the west, Land of Wind, Sunagakure.
Rasa, who is Fourth Kazekage, is currently sitting in the office, with two elders, Chiyo and Ebizo sitting next to him.
Normally he would still be mining in the desert at this time.
But because Konoha's recent actions have been too big, he has no choice but to give up being a gold miner and return to the village to discuss matters.
The news about the Konoha Ninja Army sending seven thousand ninjas to attack Land of Lightning, and sending Shisui to take over Land of Rice Fields, has already reached their ears.
To be honest, what Konoha did can be said to have opened a new path for Rasa.
War Merit Board Let's not talk about this for the moment. Konoha Everyone knows everything, so there is no need to deliberately inquire about it.
But the blank check regarding the territory and the act of taking over the tributary country simply made his eyes light up.
I still did this, I was careless.
Among Kazekage's Office, Rasa, Chiyo and Ebizo are discussing this matter.
"Elder Chiyo, Konoha War Merit Ranking, what do you think of that territory?"
"Nobles of the Land of Fire will not let Konoha go!" Chiyo hit the nail on the head and pointed out the problem.
Rasa asked again, "What about me Sunagakure?"
"Excellent!" Chiyo was still concise and to the point.
After the end of Third Shinobi World War, Sand Village was defeated miserably. At least 50% of the tasks had to be entrusted to Konoha. Feudal Lord of the Land of Wind even cut the military expenditures given to Sunagakure by two-thirds and often defaulted on arrears.
In other words, the current Sunagakure is supported by Rasa alone. There is not much difference whether there are nobles or not.
If it weren't for the fear of causing dissatisfaction among the nobles of other major countries and triggering a multi-national siege, Sunagakure would have fallen out with the Land of Wind nobles long ago.
But things are different now.
With the big brother Konoha taking the lead and withstanding most of the pressure, what does Sand Village have to fear?
At this time, Rasa flashed a fierce look in his eyes and said to Chiyo and Ebizo.
"While everyone's eyes are on the Land of Lightning battlefield and Land of Rice Fields, I plan to withdraw some of the ninjas from the Land of Rain border and Land of Rivers border and transfer them to Land of Ghosts and Land of Bears."
Land of Ghosts is a subordinate country of Land of Wind. Although the environment in the country is average, it is much better than Land of Wind.
Land of Bears is located at the junction of the two countries and belongs to the buffer zone of the two major countries. However, most of the land borders Land of Demons, the second permanent neutral country in Ninja World, and only a small part is located on the border of Land of Earth.
It is best to attack these two countries first, and then you can threaten to attack Land of Demons. If you retreat, you can also turn around and attack many small countries nearby.
As for the nobles in the country, Rasa is ready to give them one last chance, hoping that they can correct their positions. If they are ignorant, then don't blame him Sunagakure for being ruthless.
Chiyo on the side heard this and couldn't help but nodded.
Although she felt mentally and physically exhausted because of the Scorpion incident, she grew up in Sunagakure after all.
She also wanted to change Sunagakure's current miserable situation, otherwise she wouldn't have brought Ebizo to Rasa.
"I agree with this idea."
"Sunagakure's life is getting worse year by year. Except for the damn Konoha, it's all the fault of those nobles."
"It's time to let them have a longer memory."
Ebizo said in agreement, "I agree too."
Rasa nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face, and continued.
"What about Konoha? Do we still care?"
"Take care!" Chiyo looked serious, "Of course we have to take care of it."
