In Iwakuin Village, three generations of Tokage Onoki lay leisurely on a rocking chair, holding a cup of hot tea, savoring it carefully, not in a hurry or impatient. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He already knew about the surrender of the fog hidden, and he was not too surprised, he had seen Konoha's combat power for a long time.

In the first and second ninja wars, Konoha was the final winner. And before the Great Ninja War, the newly built Konoha Village was almost invincible. With the first Hokage and Madara Uchiha in charge, even the tailed beasts were captured by them one by one and distributed to the other major ninja villages.

When Onoki himself was still very young, he had seen Madara Uchiha, an existence that he could only look up to. He and his master didn't join forces, and they didn't even make a move in front of Madara Uchiha

"Konoha is still as strong as ever. Misty Hidden was the first to jump out to provoke Konoha, and naturally he was the first to be disabled. Ohnoki sighed with emotion and took a sip of tea.

So in the face of Konoha, Onoki has always been very cautious, and for the sake of the village, he will not rashly choose to go to war with Konoha. Even if Konoha was besieged by three sides now, he still resisted the urge to declare war, chose neutrality, and chose to watch the fire from the other side, and it was not yet time for Iwakure to make a move

At this moment, a Iwakuin ninja flashed in front of him and whispered a few words next to him.

"Yun Yin finally can't sit still!" After listening to this, Onoki continued to drink tea calmly. The old man has a concentration like a stone.

He thought carefully in his heart: "Now is not the time, when Yun Yin's troops are entangled in Konoha, it will be the time for Yan Yin to take revenge! Yun Yin, I will always remember the shame of the last time!"

It's scary for a stubborn old man to remember a grudge

If the battle between Konoha and Wuyin on the Eastern Front was fierce and abnormal, then the war between Konoha and Shayin on the Western Front can only be described as "cruel".

The Konoha troops led by Orochimaru faced the main force of Sand Hide, which was several times their size, and could only barely rely on the large mountains and forests of the country of Kawanoku, resisting and blocking the Sand Hide forces layer by layer. The Konoha troops fought and retreated, and they were now about to be forced into the territory of the Fire Country by Sand Hide.

The enemy has an overwhelming superiority in equipment, strength, numbers, combat experience, and logistical supplies. In the face of the onslaught of the enemy again and again, the Konoha ninja can only use his own flesh and blood to fight the enemy.

Every battle was fierce, and the ninjas of Konoha hid in the woods, holding on to their defenses, refusing to give an inch. Even if it is a small forest, it must be fought with the enemy repeatedly.

The troops of both sides were constantly engaged in brutal hand-to-hand combat in the forests and mountains, and the enemy and the enemy were often mixed together to form small local battlefields. Behind every big tree, every boulder, every bush there may be a murderous motive.

And Orochimaru, with several elite squads under his command, appeared on the battlefield, from time to time raiding the enemy's flanks, interspersing back and forth, and harassing the rear Shayin battalion, constantly carrying out guerrilla raids.

Such battles are staged almost every day, and Konoha even has to resist three attacks of the sand in a day, and the forest area controlled by both sides has been changing repeatedly.

The battlefield of Kawanokuni was reduced to a meat grinder, and although the attack of the sand was extremely ferocious, the speed of the advance was slow and slow, and every time the advance was carried out, the sand gakure had to pay a lot of casualties.

And Konoha paid an even heavier price in order to hold back the enemy. Of the 10,000-strong Konoha troops, there are now less than 7,000 left. With such a large proportion of battle losses, the Konoha army should have collapsed long ago, and the only thing that supported the Konoha ninja to continue fighting was the unyielding will of fire in his heart

At this moment, Orochimaru's troops were resting in the woods, and behind them was the border of the Fire Country, and in the distance there were already large woods and avenues leading in all directions.

Traces of fierce battles can be seen everywhere in the woods where the Konoha troops are located: the ground stained red with blood, the kunai stuck in the trunks of trees, the large pits left by the detonation charm, the broken trees, the broken rocks, the corpses of ninjas

Obviously, there had just been another big battle here, and the ferocious attack of the sand was once again repelled by Konoha.

Today's attack was extremely fierce, attacking 4 times in one day. Konoha's ninjas were exhausted from fighting by now, and most of them sat directly on the ground, exhausted and collapsed, their bodies aching and weak, and they felt strained to even move their fingers.

Commander Orochimaru was leaning against a boulder, his appearance was a little embarrassed, his upper shinobi waistcoat was covered with dust, and a deep wound on his arm that was visible to the bone was still bleeding, and the blood had soaked through Orochimaru's dark blue clothes. This was caused by Luo Sha's sneak attack on him with the Magnetic Dun Sand Golden Rain in the battle just now.

Orochimaru didn't care about his injuries, and at this time he was carefully reading a scroll in his hand, which was the latest information from Konoha Village: Fog Hidden had been defeated and surrendered

"Hehe, that guy is doing a good job. Orochimaru put away the scroll and laughed twice, but there was no trace of joy on his face.

Today, Sha Yin is attacking so desperately precisely because of the surrender of Wu Yin. Orochimaru has reached the limit of being able to lead his troops to withstand such a crazy attack, and he can only retreat into the Land of Fire next. As for reinforcements, Jilai also rushed over with the main force to reinforce the Western Front, and it will take some time

The situation is not promising.

"Keep dragging it out, after retreating into the Land of Fire, there will be a large forest!tsk!" Orochimaru smiled coldly. As long as Konoha needs him to drag it down, even if he dies and he is the only one left, he will continue to carry out the mission. He can still hold off Sha Yin for a long time!

At this time, the grizzled Senju Rope Tree hurriedly ran over with a few Konoha ninjas. From the beginning of the war, Orochimaru sent Rope Tree to do reconnaissance missions, and he completed it very well, and the whole person grew a lot in the fierce battles.

"Oh, Orochimaru-sensei, the enemy is gathering troops, and it seems that they are about to launch a fifth attack!" said Rope Tree, several of them with a hint of panic on their faces.

At this time, the enemy attacked again, how could Konoha withstand it?

After listening to this, Orochimaru pondered for a few seconds, and then he jumped off the boulder and landed in front of the Konoha ninja who was resting.

"Orochimaru-sama!" Although the people sitting on the ground were very tired, they still saluted politely when they saw Orochimaru. Orochimaru is their pillar, and with Orochimaru in this army, it will not collapse.

Orochimaru nodded slightly, and then announced very calmly: "Enemy, we will attack again soon!!"

When the ninjas of Konoha heard the news, they collectively fell silent. They were so tired that they didn't even open their mouths to complain, and all that was left on their faces was numbness

I don't have the strength to fight anymore, and I'm really going to die here

"So, now I need 400 people to defend here, resist the enemy's attack, and cover the retreat of the large army!" Orochimaru said slowly, his face expressionless!

Now that the entire army is unable to fight again, the only way to do this is to order some ninjas to stay, let these people drag the enemy with their lives, and then the large army will have time to retreat into the territory of the Fire Country. And these people who are left behind have only a dead end

This is the same reason as the gecko broke its tail and abandoned the car to protect the handsome, sacrificing some people and preserving most of them. If you don't, the Konoha army will be wiped out, and everyone will die here. So, sane Orochimaru immediately made this cruel decision!
