Harvest and Results

After Nawaki's mixture of truth and falsehood, the morale of the ten thousand Rock Ninja completely collapsed. Under the lead of that Iwagakure commander who had been thoroughly fooled, they surrendered to Nawaki unconditionally.

Unlike other defeated prisoners who surrendered, these Rock Ninja developed immense resentment toward Iwagakure after learning that they had been betrayed by the upper ranks. Nawaki was confident that he could persuade them to defect to Konoha completely, and he planned to bring them into the Senju Branch Family using Cursed Seals.

If successful, they would not only gain a large number of elite troops, but they would also become a major asset in the upcoming war against the Land of Earth. No one knew the Land of Earth better than they did. Whether serving as guides or helping Konoha absorb the cities and territories originally belonging to the Land of Earth, they would be immensely useful.
