"Lord Hokage."
Just as he was thinking about it, a Konoha Ninja came from outside the battlefield to send a message.
"What's going on?"
Sarutobi came back to his senses and asked in a deep voice.
"The situation is a bit unfavorable to us - many of our scattered teams are locked in a hard fight, and - in some battlefields, all our people - have been sacrificed." The former's voice was trembling.
"What do you say Kazuto?"
Sarutobi is quite calm and has a steady momentum.
The person he calls Kazuto is none other than the first commander of the Konoha army analysis team.
"Sunagakure seems to have known the location of our scattered battlefields for a long time, so that they can support and rescue their companions after the battle is over - and can also fight guerrilla warfare with us on a certain route. The second is Sunagakure's medicine - some enemies who have suffered minor injuries can still maintain combat after receiving drug treatment -
Even some seriously injured Sunagakure can take medicine to paralyze their nerves, that is, painkillers. Although this method is extreme, it allows a small number of enemies to still pose a threat to us within a certain period of time."
, Sarutobi After hearing this, his face tightened.
It's not enough - even if they Konoha fell into Sunagakure's plan, these alone are not enough to support Sunagakure in fighting them to this point.
"Then - Sunagakure's medical team appears on the battlefield. They seem to have occupied our stronghold and are treating a large number of wounded. One of our teams successfully raided a stronghold and found well-equipped medical supplies inside, as well as some medical tools we have never seen before."
"The most important thing is the number of their Sunagakure medical ninjas - judging from battlefield statistics, there are quite a lot."
"The combat linkage between Sunagakure and these medical teams on every battlefield is also very efficient, as if it has been rehearsed and arranged in advance--"
"--"
Sarutobi was silent.
Before he could take a breath.
The subordinate continued, "There is one more thing - Sunagakure's blood doctor Yubi."
"Hmm?
Sarutobi raised his eyebrows.
"Blood doctor Yubi seems to have a ninja tool that can release illusions in a wide range - this thing, after being dispersed on the battlefield, is extremely lethal to our army. Nearly 20% of our sacrificed companions were caused by him alone. Because Sunagakure is more familiar with the distribution and routes of the battlefield than us, they have high mobility in the entire area -
"This ninja tool should be the one used by Sunagakure when he fought against Iwagakure at the border of Land of Wind--"
Blood doctor Yubi--and Sasori of the Red Sands.
Hiruzen Sarutobi has fully understood the threat level of these two brats from Minato.
After the war broke out, he wanted to find these two juniors as soon as possible and solve them first.
Avoid adverse effects on the war situation.
The strength of either of them alone is not enough to dominate the battlefield, but if the two juniors are added together - there is no way to ignore it.
The problem is that the scale of this war is huge, the battlefield is vast, and the two armies are competing, making the situation chaotic. In order to take the lead and win as quickly as possible, Sarutobi cannot devote all his energy to two separate goals. Moreover, he also realizes that the Sunagakure army is deliberately protecting these two people.
At least - so far, both Yubi and Scorpion - seem to be deliberately avoiding the area and battlefield where he is.
I'm not prepared to fight him at all.
Even if - in this way, as Hokage, relying on his strong personal combat power, he will eliminate more ordinary troops of Sunagakure.
But the other party would rather sacrifice the lives of the majority of low-level ninjas than to have these two people fall on the battlefield and have an accident.
"Have you obtained the locations and information of all battlefields?"
Sarutobi pondered for a moment and asked.
"Hmm."
"What are the overall casualties?"
"--Our casualties--are above Sunagakure, and much more--"
Reported by Konoha Ninja, the lips are dry.
"Sunagakure's medical power is already so strong?"
Sarutobi's heart skipped a beat.
The casualties of the war are not only reflected in the number of enemies killed, but also a very important one is the ability to treat them.
Although Konoha's military strength is more than superior to Sunagakure's, the other party occupies a certain home field advantage after all. They have laid a large number of traps and mechanisms in advance, and their tactical arrangements are more delicate. In addition, at this moment, Sunagakure's medical system is fully exerted on the battlefield. A series of factors have led to their Konoha being the weak one.
The losses were heavy.
Moreover, the two Sunagakure twin stars, just as he expected, although they could not dominate the battlefield, they still had the strength to influence the outcome of a battlefield of this scale.
Especially--the blood doctor Yubi who has some kind of ninja tool.
However, the battle is not over yet - judging from Sarutobi's experience, they Konoha still have the capital to make a comeback.
Because Sunagakure has a fatal weakness.
It just lacks top-level combat power.
Once the battlefield is lit up by their Konoha"-Sunagakure's proud medical capabilities, they will suffer a huge impact.
As long as Sunagakure's medical teams are defeated, the final victory will still belong to them.
At least, with Hokage on his side - Sunagakure, if you want to contain him, you will have to suffer huge losses.
"Notify everyone on the battlefield to first deal with the stronghold where Sunagakure medical ninja hides and contacts--"
Sarutobi ordered.
"Already doing it."
Young Konoha Ninja said.
Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief.
Their village's battlefield experience is still rich enough.
There are some situations that even if he, as Hokage, cannot take care of them immediately, the people below will respond quickly and correctly.
"Let the analysis team report the specific directions of all battlefields, and rank the severity according to the situation of each battlefield. I will personally lead a team to deal with it." Sarutobi said, "Lock on that Yubi first--he must solve it as quickly as possible."
The ninja tool in the hands of this junior is too dangerous in the current situation that Sunagakure deliberately created.
"Yes."
Hearing this, the latter ducked and ran away.
However, not long after, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was on his way to another war zone, received bad news on the way.
Sunagakure--Withdrawal!
They were retreating to the Land of Rivers zone. One second they were having a heated fight with them Konoha, but the next second they suddenly stopped and stopped playing.
What makes even an elderly person like Hiruzen Sarutobi feel tight in his chest is that Sunagakure seems to have realized that they are going to destroy and attack the medical stronghold, and they have already packed up their things and run away.
And before the evacuation, some mechanisms were designed in the stronghold and a lot of Explosive Tag were loaded, leaving only a few Sunagakure dead soldiers who were seriously injured but could not be treated but were still conscious to lure the enemy and die together with the elite team dispatched by their Konoha side."
Although this kind of trap would not destroy their elite team, overall, it also caused a lot of casualties.
It was another heavy blow to their Konoha army.
"Lord Hokage--Are you okay?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood on a tree, holding the trunk with one hand and lowering his head.
The other hand supported his head.
It feels like suddenly - high blood pressure -
The subordinates on the side saw this and immediately said nervously.
"It's okay."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a few breaths and his voice became a little hoarse.
Yes -- they Konoha won.
But he paid a heavy price for it.
As for Sunagakure--although it looks like he lost from the scene.
But in reality - he took a big advantage and was very thief.
