Not only Shōji, it can be said that after Rasa returned with the remaining Sunagakure Ninja army in defeat, except for the security personnel who were deliberately assigned by Kitsuchi, The remaining Iwagakure Ninjas are much more relaxed than before the war. Even the young Iwagakure Ninjas who are not very experienced can see that Sunagakure Ninja is no longer able to continue waging a war.
Unless the opponent really has the ability to mobilize a group of reinforcements, or even bring Tailed Beast Jinchuriki over, but that is a confrontation on another level, and the impact it will cause is definitely not what Sunagakure can bear now.
The best choice is to accept your failure honestly here, and then continue to choose to lie dormant. To put it bluntly, resisting in the end will most likely be a dead end. Although it may drag Iwagakure into the quagmire of war and allow Kumogakure and Konoha to find opportunities to take action, this premise is based on the possibility that Sunagakure himself will be destroyed.
Only a fool would do that!
The probability is as high as 99.9% that the war will end here.
It's enough for these Iwagakure Ninjas to relax.
Kitsuchi did not stop the slightly relaxed and cheerful atmosphere among the Iwagakure Ninjas below. Anyway, the most basic security work has not been relaxed. It doesn't hurt for the others to be more active. What's more, Kitsuchi himself doesn't think Sunagakure still has the courage and strength to continue to wage war.
Including Ōnoki who was far away in Land of Earth and sitting in Iwagakure, they also viewed it the same way. The information transmission was only delayed for more than a day. When receiving the news of the victory from his son, this Third Tsuchikage was also overjoyed!
Especially seeing that Shōji could defeat Fourth Kazekage-Rasa so powerfully made Ōnoki feel that he had not misjudged and chosen the wrong person!
This is a young man who is capable, thoughtful and capable!
After reaping the fruit of victory, Ōnoki immediately arranged for special negotiators to head towards the border with his new orders, while also spreading the news throughout the village!
This is great news that deserves to be celebrated by everyone!
When the left-behind ninjas and ordinary civilians in Iwagakure heard the news, they also cheered like Ōnoki. Although most people here did not know what benefits the victory of this war could bring to their ninja village, they only needed to understand that their ninja village had won a great victory, and it was enough that someone had defeated Kazekage, one of the Five Kages, on the frontal battlefield!
This is the ultimate good news for the whole country to celebrate!
Inside the Uchiha Clan station, the tribesmen who received the news also cheered for joy. People like Fugaku, Sōgen, and Genran could clearly understand what this meant to the village and to them Uchiha Clan!
Needless to say, this victory in the Ninja War is the most critical first step for Iwagakure to take over Shinobi World. It is also the most important step for the Uchiha Clan to show its power and gain initial recognition from Iwagakure Ninja!
Since then, they Uchiha Clan have truly established a foothold in Iwagakure and become a part of this village.
This is definitely a happy news!
Unlike Iwagakure, which was filled with extremely exciting and joyful emotions, Sunagakure, from the moment they lost, everyone was enveloped in a heavy layer of gloom. They did not expect that they would lose so miserably!
It is even more foreseeable that life in his Ninja Village will become even more difficult in the future.
Among the Sunagakure Ninjas who returned to the frontline camp, from the highest Kazekage Rasa to the lowest Sunagakure Ninja, there is no expression that is not ugly.
Baki, Fugi, Yura, Sunagakure's quasi-high-level backbones Jōnin, all looked sad., it is difficult for them to use ordinary words to describe the current situation. Northern Fortress has not been recaptured, and they have lost nearly two thousand Sunagakure Ninja (including those killed in battle, seriously injured, and captured people.)
Even if the captured Sunagakure Ninja could eventually be redeemed and the seriously injured companions rescued, Sunagakure Ninja's losses in this local war were extremely heavy, not to mention that Fourth Kazekage-Rasa, who was regarded as the spiritual pillar, was defeated by a boy who was less than sixteen years old in front of so many people!
This simply shakes the confidence of all Sunagakure Ninja to a great extent!
It can be said that at this moment, Sunagakure's situation is unprecedentedly bad. It is a huge crisis situation that will completely overturn if you are not careful!
How to resolve the current situation is a huge problem facing all Sunagakure Ninja!
However, all this ultimately depends on the decision of Rasa, who is Kazekage, and Rasa also understands this very well. Before returning to the camp, give priority to He ordered Baki, Fugi and others to further strengthen the security force, and then he took a short rest to let his injuries stabilize, and then immediately held a high-level meeting in the frontline camp!
Where should our Ninja Village go? It's time to make a bloody decision.
In the main camp.
A solemn and cold atmosphere.
In the first position, Rasa was sitting there with a pale face.
On both sides of the bottom, Baki, Fugi, Yura and several other Jōnins who hold key positions are sitting below. Each of these people has extremely solemn expressions.
And no one dared to look at Rasa above. It was really scary just to feel the atmosphere and atmosphere.
They also knew very well that when their own Lord Kazekage was defeated head-on, it was not even Ōnoki, nor Kitsuchi of the same generation, but Uchiha Shōji, who was famous even though he was not small, but it was clear that he was defeated by a young person from the next generation.
This is a very embarrassing record for Rasa!
They Sunagakure Ninja don't dare to touch the trouble of their Lord Kazekage at this time.
Including Baki, who is usually the most outspoken, moved his lips at this moment, but finally endured it.
"Baki!"
I don't know how long it took, it seemed like only a few minutes, or it seemed like a long time passed. The strange silence that continued in this camp made one or two Sunagakure Ninja underneath feel a little unable to sit still.
In the first position.
Rasa The slightly hoarse words finally sounded.
"Yes! Lord Kazekage!"
Baki, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately stood up at this moment and bowed to face Rasa Responded.
"First send people to ask the village to transport more medical supplies, and prioritize the wounded in the camp to return to the village. In addition, send people to pass the corresponding news to the elders Elder Chiyo and Ebizo. Please be sure to ask the two elders to come out and take care of the matter. The responsibility for the defeat of this war lies with me. I must make this clear to the two elders!"
Rasa When these words that sounded gentle and plain fell.
Baki, Fugi, Yura and other Sunagakure's and Jōnin's at the bottom all had their faces changed.
