"Lord Kazekage, this is..."
As Rasa's most trusted confidant in the camp, Baki always wanted to say something with a somewhat anxious expression at this moment.
But before the next words were spoken.
"Just do as I say, Baki!"
It was broken by Rasa gently swaying Teuchi.
When facing Lord Kazekage's deep eyes, Baki's heart suddenly trembled, and then he could only bow silently and bow his head in response.
"Yes, Lord Kazekage, I understand!"
Fugi and Yura both looked at each other in confusion at this moment. There were even one or two Sunagakure Ninja who showed a strange look on their faces at this moment, Rasa seemed to notice it, but also seemed not to notice it. He still had a tinge of indifference, as if what he said just now was not what he said, or he himself did not realize what his words meant at all.
"Yura, you will be responsible for the defense of the front line. All front strongholds will be abandoned, and you will focus on the defense of the back line. Just make sure that Iwagakure Ninja does not advance the front line further. Be sure to exercise restraint!"
Defeat means that one's own side has completely lost its dominance in the war. Being able to hold on to this line of defense is already a rare thing. Rasa doesn't think that his Ninja Village is qualified to advance even half a step!
"Yes, Lord Kazekage!"
Yura, who was originally responsible for the defense work in the village, also knew this very well. When Rasa finished speaking, he immediately stood up and bowed Responded in the direction of Rasa.
"Yeah!"
After Rasa nodded slowly, he turned his attention to Fugi beside him. At this moment, a trace of unwillingness, resentment, and anger seemed to flash in the depths of his eyes, but in the end they all turned into a low and helpless sound. With a helpless sigh, he spoke as if he was trying to use all his strength, "Fugi, go to Northern Fortress yourself, meet that Mr. Kitsuchi, and ask for a truce!"
When it fell, even though they had been mentally prepared, at this moment, more than ten Sunagakure Ninjas were present, including Baki, Fugi, and Yura They all couldn't help but trembled. To put it nicely, it was a request for an armistice; to put it worse, it was to surrender. Since the outbreak of First Shinobi World War, they Sunagakure have never won even a single war victory!
The losers every time are them Sunagakure!
One of Five Great Shinobi Villages is like a joke.
Now facing the local power of Iwagakure, they Sunagakure can almost say that they are unable to win even though they try their best. This has to be said to be a great sadness, making them, Sunagakure Ninja senior executives, feel like they and others are clowns!
Humiliation, resentment, and unwillingness are filling the hearts of these Sunagakure Jōnin people at this moment, but no matter how unacceptable they are, they can only succumb to today's reality.
They Sunagakure can no longer fight!
After Fugi trembled slightly for two times, he also bowed deeply and responded Responded with a slight vibrato, "Yes, Lord Kazekage!"
Admitting defeat means giving up the last bit of theoretical dominance, which will put Sunagakure in an absolutely unfavorable situation in the subsequent negotiations. But as the defeated party, what qualifications does it have to ask for more? Unless you can work hard enough to break out again, that's obviously something you can't do.
Sunagakure can only make this "from the heart" choice.
At this moment, Rasa's heart was full of anger and regret. He was angry that Iwagakure Ninja was so ruthless and regretted his own decision. If he could have been more clear-headed and stopped the loss in time, at least he would not have been in such a bad situation, just for his so-called face problem.
Let the village pay such a high price again.
Rasa already foresees that after returning to the village, he will endure public opinion issues in the village, which can already shake his Kazekage position to a certain extent.
But there is no regret medicine in this world.
Rasa can only break the bloody teeth and forcefully swallow it into his stomach.
"Well, that's it. If there's nothing else, you can go down first!"
After arranging the most important things, Rasa's expression also became a lot darker. He seemed to have no strength at all, and he waved his hand gently.
"Yes..."
Baki, Yura, Fugi and others below could only stand up and bow at the same time at this moment, and then silently stepped back and left the main camp tent, leaving only Rasa alone in the tent, with a complex look on his face.
He was considering the right choice for his future and that of Sunagakure.
But no matter what, we must prioritize getting through the immediate crisis.
Rasa didn't believe that Iwagakure or that Third Tsuchikage would let them Sunagakure off so easily.
'I just hope everything doesn't come too bad... '
Rasa smiled bitterly and lay down, thinking bitterly in his heart.
It was already an uncontrollable situation, a bad situation that was 100% at the mercy of others, but Sunagakure could only bite the bullet and go on. It could be said that at this moment, both Yan and Sand were very clear about their respective and each other's situations, and the general goal was already locked. The specifics would depend on the operations in the subsequent negotiations.
Kitsuchi's side had obviously received the news from his father in advance and was waiting for the arrival of professionals in the fortress. He was not surprised that Fugi came to Northern Fortress to 'beg for surrender' on behalf of Rasa.
Yes, from the perspective of Iwagakure Ninja, represented by Kitsuchi, this is Chi Guoguo's act of begging for peace, while in Third Shinobi World War, Iwagakure Ninja only kills Third Raikage Unlike and some Kumo Ninja, who lost two to three thousand troops, this time they Iwagakure Ninja completely suppressed and defeated Sunagakure Ninja in terms of quality and quantity!
Not to mention that Rasa was seriously injured and defeated by Shōji!
Just the fact that Northern Fortress was captured and the rock and sand casualty ratio was stretched to one to four is enough to illustrate the problem!
It wasn't very deliberate, but it showed a hint of superiority, which made Fugi who came to make a request for 'negotiation' obviously very uncomfortable, but no matter how angry they were, they had to endure it. Now was not the time for them to vent their anger.
He also has no qualifications to hold Qi.
A tentative agreement reached by both parties.
The smoke of war also faded a lot at this moment.
But many people know very well that in the subsequent negotiations, Iwagakure Ninja will not get what they want.
It is not impossible for war to resume.
This is why Rasa still emphasizes that one's own defense must still be highly vigilant!
Admitting defeat does not mean surrendering unconditionally. If some interests are really ceded, they will be ceded. But if it involves some core bottom line issues of Sunagakure, it is still impossible for Rasa to really give in!
Something is related to the survival of the village!
Although I don't think Iwagakure Ninja will kill everyone so quickly, we still need to be vigilant in advance!
