Before he finished speaking, he saw Toroi's expression suddenly change, and he took two steps back in a hurry.
No, buddy, I have shed blood for the village and I have made contributions to the village. Even if I am really a foreigner, don't treat me like a foreigner!
At this time, if you push me to be the leader, don't you want me to die?
Toroi complained endlessly in his heart.
He is indeed Elite Jonin of Kumogakure, and he is indeed loyal to the village.
But loyalty does not mean sending yourself to death without thinking.
If Lord Raikage was still there, if there was still a glimmer of hope in the situation, he would be willing to follow Lord Raikage into the battle, even if he died on the battlefield.
But what is happening now?
They don't want to kill people here.
Now, shouting "Loyalty" and "Long live Kumogakure" and fighting the opponent, it is completely meaningless to die.
He is willing to go through life and death for Kumogakure, but he is never willing to be such a worthless cannon fodder.
Moreover, what if I rush forward and get killed in a flash, and then my colleagues behind me immediately surrender when they see that the situation is not going well...
Then wouldn't his death have been in vain?
His death was worthless, and he might even be laughed at as stupid by those who surrendered!
The smart Toroi will not do this kind of loss-making business!
"You... you..."
Scar Jonin also flinched when he saw Toroi, trembling with anger, pointing at Dodai and Toroi with trembling fingers, and finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth:
" A coward from Sunagakure!"
He seemed to want to use words to stimulate Toroi, but Toroi just turned his head to the side and pretended not to hear.
Scar Jonin saw that the excitement was useless, and the grief, anger and despair in his heart finally reached its peak. He suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist, raised it high, and gave a final, hoarse cry to all the silent or shrinking colleagues around him:
"We Kumogakure's Ninja! None of us are afraid of death!"
"Don't forget, our families are behind us, we have no way out! For our family, for Kumogakure, we will fight to the end!"
His cry echoed in the silent night air, carrying a tragic determination.
However, what responded to him was an even heavier silence.
Many Ninja lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
There was even a doubtful voice coming from the crowd:
"That Ito Senior, aren't you an orphan? Where do you have any family behind you?"
"Ahem..."
Another voice sounded cautiously.
"I heard... that Konoha's Sixth Hokage really seems to never touch civilians..."
Another person whispered, "I heard that they will also distribute food to the elderly in the village, give people jobs, etc..."
"Our family shouldn't be passive, right?"
"It just so happens that my brother doesn't have the talent to be Ninja, so he can only do odd jobs at Kumogakure... If Sixth comes, maybe he can have a serious job to make a living... and he doesn't have to worry all day long that I won't be able to come back from my mission..."
As they spoke, some people put down their weapons.
In the battle just now, Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Hikari had countless chances to kill them, but they were still alive.
The other party has proven with actions that Konoha really does not want to massacre Ninja of Kumogakure, so why not surrender now and wait to die later?
Dear Lord Hokage, I am a good citizen, please come in!
"Kumogakure surrendered so quickly?"
On the cliff, Hidan's eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with disbelief and deep contempt!
He was carrying Bloody Triple-Bladed Scythe and pointed at the Kumogakure Ninja that were kneeling down below and showing no signs of resistance. His voice was raised in shock:
"This doesn't look like a great country at all!"
"Where are the tough guys at Land of Lightning?"
"You can surrender much faster than Land of Hot Water, those soft-footed shrimps who only know how to soak in hot springs! Bagaya Road!"
Hidan's words were full of disappointment and ridicule for Kumogakure's "unsatisfactory" performance.
In his distorted values, he would rather see Kumogakure blood flow into rivers, everyone die on the battlefield, and offer a grand death Festival, which is much more exciting than seeing this kind of "useless" collective surrender.
He was originally looking forward to Eight-Tails going berserk, looking forward to an earth-shattering Tailed Beast battle, so that he would have the opportunity to rush in and fight happily, collecting more blood to give to Lord Jashin.
What's the result?
Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B punched the air like a fool, and then was easily stuffed into Coffin.
The entire Kumogakure's will to resist was like a popped balloon, deflating with a "pop"!
This makes Hidan feel extremely disappointed and dissatisfied.
However, in the face of Hidan's complaints and eagerness to try, Scorpio on the side poured cold water on him:
"Then, I'll leave it to you to deal with that Naruto Uzumaki?"
Scorpion controlled Hiruko, turned his head slightly, and looked at Hidan.
The meaning in those words is very obvious, you have to do your best, don't just make sarcastic remarks here.
As someone who once used "Performance of a Hundred Puppets" to destroy a Small Country, Xie knows how difficult it is to completely defeat, especially to quickly surrender a Shinobi Village.
Small Shinobi Village is difficult to conquer quickly due to factors such as small territory, few resources, cohesion or bloody nature.
What's more, one of Five Great Shinobi Villages like Kumogakure, a being known for his fighting and toughness?
According to common sense, even if the highest combat power is defeated, the remaining Ninja should rely on the complex terrain and fortifications of the village to carry out fierce street fighting and guerrilla fighting. Even if they are all killed in the end, it will cause huge casualties and trouble to the invaders.
This is the posture of resistance that big Shinobi Village should have.
But what happened next completely subverted common sense.
Based on the intelligence they just observed and the scattered information previously provided by Black Zetsu, Scorpion's risk assessment of the two young men below has been raised to the highest level.
"According to the known information, of those two guys, one has Wood Release and Flying Thunder God; the other is Uchiha who has Mangekyō Sharingan. You can't tell the other information just by looking at this battle. They are definitely good at gathering intelligence."
"It goes without saying how powerful and difficult Wood Release is. Flying Thunder God is even more difficult to deal with, Space-Time Ninjutsu."
"As for Mangekyō Sharingan..."
Xie paused, and there seemed to be a subtle change in his tone.
"I don't know if the owners of Mangekyō Sharingan are all very strong."
He added, with a rare hint of solemnity in his voice.
"But Uchiha Itachi is very strong. If any of you think you can definitely beat Uchiha Itachi, you can try to fight that female Uchiha."
This sentence blocked Hidan's mouth, and also caused the corners of the eyes of Kisame and Deidara, who had been silent next to them, to move slightly.
Uchiha Itachi, is indeed a strong person.
