Land of Iron The capital is covered with snow and the chill is thick!
"This Iwagakure is also a robber, no better than Hidden Village!"
At this moment, in the spacious conference room, when he learned that Iwagakure asked for more remuneration before adding reinforcements, the outspoken Rokkaku was dissatisfied.
"Alas! Iwagakure must have expected that we would agree to do this."
Sighing, Okisuke analyzed.
The other samurai in the conference room shook their heads and were very helpless. Currently, Land of Iron is in danger and only Iwagakure is willing to provide reinforcements. Don't double the reward, they will agree even if it is doubled or tripled.
"That's meaningless anymore. I have agreed to Tsuchikage Ōnoki's request, and Iwagakure reinforcements are already on the way."
"Now, what we have to do is how to defend the capital before Iwagakure reinforcements arrive!"
Perhaps due to the shock of Iron Tower Fortress's defeat in the battle, Mifune's face was not very good-looking. He was silent for a moment and said in a low voice.
"Sir Mifune, according to the intelligence, Hidden Village's ninja army has resumed its attack on the capital after a rest."
"In order to delay time, we should arrange for samurai to conduct a sneak attack on the road!"
After Mifune finished speaking, a warrior immediately suggested.
"I agree with this proposal. No matter what means are used, we must stop the Hidden Village ninja army from attacking!"
Okisuke nodded and agreed.
"Okisuke, then the sneak attack on Hidden Village's ninja army will be left to you!"
Looking at Okisuke, Mifune ordered.
Before Iwagakure's reinforcements arrived, Mifune naturally knew that stopping the Hidden Village ninja army from moving forward was the most important thing at the moment. For this reason, he gave this task to his most proud subordinates.
"I promise to complete the mission!"
Hearing this, Okisuke said confidently.
In fact, this kind of mission is very simple. Use the terrain to launch an attack, and then retreat after the attack. This kind of flexible harassment tactic can only be done in a hurry, no matter how strong Hidden Village's ninja army is.
"We lost the first battle, and the morale of the warriors will inevitably be low. You have time to encourage the warriors and prepare for the final decisive battle!"
Nodding, Mifune suddenly thought of something, so he said to Rokkaku and others.
"Got it!"
No need Mifune, as warrior leaders, they naturally know what to do, so Rokkaku and others agreed.
The faint moonlight poured down from the sky, covering Land of Iron Duo'en Mountains with a layer of light silver gauze. From time to time, a low roar of beasts could be heard.
In the middle of the Duo'en Mountains, there is the camp of the Hidden Village ninja army. Even in the middle of the night, the lights are still bright, and fully armed ninjas are patrolling back and forth. In some towering places in the camp, there are also ninjas with extraordinary eyesight waiting, their sharp and vicious eyes constantly scanning the darkness around the camp.
At this moment, in the center of the camp, a tent that was larger than ordinary tents stood tall, with several figures inside talking around a table.
"Today we are constantly being attacked by Land of Iron warriors. It seems they want to prevent us from approaching the capital!"
The position of the Duo'en Mountains on the map is still some distance away from Land of Iron. Shisui glanced at the map, frowned, and then said slowly.
"Land of Iron should know that we can't fight for a long time, so we want to rely on this method to delay time and hold on."
Nodding slightly, Sasuke said.
"Master Kage asked us to capture Land of Iron within five days. Now it's been two. No matter what method they use, we have to speed up."
Hearing this, Zabuza Momochi said with a gloomy face.
Listening to their conversation, Itachi also fell into deep thought, thinking of a solution.
If there are no samurai to disturb them on the road, then it will take a while for the Hidden Village ninja army to reach the vicinity of the capital. Now this situation is a bit annoying.
"Quack quack..."
However, just as Itachi was thinking, an intelligence crow suddenly fluttered in from outside.
When the intelligence crow found Weasel, it turned into a cloud of white mist with a "bang" sound, and then an information scroll fell from the white mist.
Catching the fallen information scroll, Itachi quickly opened it and read it without hesitation.
"Brother, what's going on?"
Seeing Itachi's expression suddenly becoming quite gloomy, Sasuke immediately felt his heart skip a beat and asked.
"We may have to retreat, Iwagakure has sent out ninja troops, and they are preparing to reinforce Land of Iron!"
"What? Iwagakure reinforces Land of Iron?"
"How... how is this possible?"
After Itachi finished speaking, the tent was filled with shock. No one expected such a change to happen.
Under normal circumstances, it would not be a big problem to capture Land of Iron with the strength of the Hidden Village ninja army, but now that Iwagakure comes to the rescue, Itachi can only return with the ninja army. After all, Iwagakure's reinforcements are only slightly stronger than them, and they have no chance of winning.
"Alas! No wonder Land of Iron would send warriors to attack us on the road to delay. It turns out they are waiting for reinforcements from Iwagakure!"
Sighing, thinking of the attack that happened today, Shisui suddenly sighed.
"Are we going to return to the village like this? How will we face Master Kage? How will we face our dead companions?"
Ignoring Shisui's words, he stared at Itachi. Zabuza Momochi's face changed instantly, his fists clenched tightly, and his eyes were cold.
"Zabuza Momochi, I understand what you mean, but do you think we can defeat the enemy with our current strength?"
Knowing that Zabuza Momochi, who had a stronger personality, was unwilling to retreat, Itachi immediately asked.
"This..."
Stunned by Itachi's words, Zabuza Momochi didn't know what to do for a moment. Although he was not a very smart ninja, he could still guess the outcome of the fight with Iwagakure's reinforcements and Land of Iron.
It may be a tragic victory, or the entire army may be annihilated, but the probability of the latter is undoubtedly the highest.
"Zabuza Momochi, the situation has changed. This is beyond our control. Even if Master Ying is here, he will probably order a retreat, so there is no need to worry."
Taking a deep breath, Shisui advised.
In fact, Shisui is the same as Zabuza Momochi. He doesn't want to return to Hidden Village in such a mess, but as a captain, sometimes you cannot be emotional and must take the overall situation into consideration.
Hearing this, Zabuza Momochi clenched his fists. Although he was very reluctant to retreat, he had to retreat... This made him feel very painful.
"Actually, we don't have to retreat!"
Because of an urgent piece of information, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became silent. Not long after it was quiet, the voice of Sasuke rang in the tent.
