"Oh?" White Fang was unmoved on his face, but he frowned secretly in his heart.

"Konoha's Hinata White Eyes are indeed worthy of their reputation, and they can lock our position on such a rainy night, but our rain ninja is not in vain, since it is in the name of rain, it is natural to have some advantages in the rain." Yu Ren said slowly, as if he didn't care at all about the screams of the hundred Yu Ren elites on the mountain peak.

"Advantages? I think those rain ninjas do seem to die a little faster than the average ninja. White Fang sneered, and there was a low laugh from the Konoha ninja's side.

The exhausted rain ninjas were indeed powerless to fight back in front of the beastly Inuzuka clan and the Thunder Ninja who restrained them.

A hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the rain ninja leader, but his voice was still unhurried: "If the ninja of Konoha hasn't received the news yet, it will be too disappointing for me." If you don't stop, don't blame us for being ruthless. ”

"Huh." White Fang couldn't pretend to be stupid, and with a wave of his hand, the members of the mountain clan immediately passed on the order, and the Konoha ninjas on the mountain gradually stopped killing, and the remaining less than half of the rain ninjas gathered together and survived.

The leader of the rain ninja was also secretly relieved, these elites who could continuously release the rain and dew thousand books, but this mission he brought out the essence of the troops, if it was lost like this, he would not be able to explain it when he returned to the village.

At this time, although it was still under siege, it was still able to regain a little initiative.

"Lord White Fang, at this time, can we have a good talk?"

"What to talk about? If you want to surrender, we are not out of the question. ”

"Ming people don't say secret words, 10 kilometers away, we intercepted the last wave of your migrating people, and exchanged their lives for the chance of the safe retreat of the remaining troops of our side, I don't know if you who pursue the "will of fire" Konoha do you want to agree? ”

Cut, White Fang smashed his mouth with some dissatisfaction, this heavy rain still gave the other party more convenience, Rain Ninja is worthy of being a ninja village in the name of rain, their mobility in this harsh heavy rain environment, beyond White Fang's expectations in advance, that kind of funny mask and close water support, it turns out that it really works?

While the two sides were intriguing on the frontal battlefield, Rain Shinobi sent a large number of troops to accurately bypass the detection range of the White-Eyed Ninja and intercept the wave of civilians at the very edge from behind.

Now, several of the Konoha ninjas who were in charge of the migration of that part of the people have been killed, and these people have become hostages of the rain ninja.

Trading the lives of the people for the lives of the Sand Rain Ninja sounds like a fair deal.

But is that really the case?

On the sand table, the frontal troops confronted each other in front, and Yujuro coldly planted the small flag representing the rain ninja 10 kilometers behind the Konoha troops.

There has been news that the number of this part of the enemy is about one hundred and fifty, although it is not much, but it is not something that the urgently mobilized rear migration troops can repel and the enemy hostages are in hand, if the white fang really let go of the frontal troops in the place, then the one hundred and fifty people who infiltrated will grasp the weakness of the Konoha troops.

If Konoha lets go of the sand rain ninja, will they let go of these people of the Fire Country?

On the battlefield, only fools will listen to the promises of the enemy.

No, they will really give up these tens of thousands of people, Mijuro moved the small red flag representing Konoha over, and then the small green flag representing the frontal enemy behind him tightly bit it, and the small blue flag representing the infiltrated enemy directly outflanked ......

Konoha will usher in a tough battle, although at this time the frontal troops of the Sand Rain Ninja seem to be powerless, but this is only because, the elite of the other side who is good at ninjutsu is raided by the Inuzuka clan, and the frontal troops are surrounded by Konoha again.

This is equivalent to long-range firepower being pinned down, while frontal troops are being targeted by Konoha's long-range fire.

Even if the enemy he is facing now is out of danger and regrouped to fight again, Konoha may not be able to achieve victory, not to mention that the enemy who is already superior in numbers will meet up with reinforcements and surround Konoha in turn.

Even if Konoha wins, there won't be a few people left.

Now, it's not so much a choice between killing the enemy and rescuing the people, but rather a choice between the lives of the Konoha ninjas on a mission and the lives of the people of the Fire Country.

So, Lord White Fang, which one would you choose?

Mijuro slowly sank into ninjutsu and invaded his brother's mental channel again.

"Lord White Fang, it has been confirmed that in a canyon 10 kilometers away, there are indeed more than a dozen villages of people who have been intercepted, and our people have been transformed and hidden among the people, and they have not been discovered for the time being."

"What about the rest of the people?"

"There is no unusual news coming, and the subordinates are getting in touch with them, but, judging from the performance of the rain ninja, this should be their last hand, my lord, what should we do now?"

"Yu Jiu, we've known each other for many years, right?" White Fang suddenly said such a sentence without a head.

“…… Yes, my lord, the first time your subordinates go to war is in your troops. ”

"Well, inform everyone, the plan remains unchanged, and annihilate the forces in front of the enemy with all your might."

"Adult ......"

"Execute the order."

"...... Shuomao" who had been silently beside him suddenly interjected, Makoto didn't know why Yujiu quietly pulled him into a spiritual connection with White Fang, maybe he thought that he Uchiha Makoto could persuade White Fang to change his mind? But after Makoto said White Fang's name, he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Cheng, if you can live, so can I, but most of the people in this army can't."

Originally, it was a besieged war of annihilation, and if it had to fight a war of attrition or even be besieged with a superior number of enemies, this was something that White Fang would never be able to bear.

"Shuomao, this is for the mission." If you don't complete the task just because it's dangerous, then what do you want a ninja to do, the five major countries are all playing with eggs.

Don't forget, covering the retreat of the people of the Fire Nation and saving the impact of the failure of the previous mission on the village of White Fang, this is the purpose of the mission, if these 10,000 people are allowed to be slaughtered, it can be said that everything Konoha has done so far has become useless.

"Task? Heh, this isn't for the sake of the mission. White Fang sneered, his words full of sarcasm.

Makoto was silent for a moment, realizing that he had nothing to say.

If the leader of the Konoha army at this time was a careerist like Danzo, or a pragmatist like Orochimaru and Makoto, he would definitely go back and keep the names of the people of the Fire Country first, or in other words, "the results of his mission" first.

Makoto believes in the qualities of the Konoha ninjas, and they will never be afraid of the sacrifices required to complete the mission, even if it is completely unnecessary.

Considering the reproach that he would inevitably face if he gave up the mission, as well as the heroic cheers and praise that he could get when he turned back to complete the mission, he believed that if he was in the position of the White Fang, he would not hesitate to turn back and fight his troops and use their lives to save himself.

Yes, that's right, there are countless high-sounding explanations for this act - for the glory of the village, for the people of the Fire Country, for the duty of the ninja...... But no matter how much you say, you can't hide an essence:

It's about treating your subordinates as tools, sacrificing them for the things mentioned above.

"Makoto, as I said, ninjas are not anyone's tools.

"Before, when I was selecting candidates for the second echelon, I had repeatedly emphasized the danger that this detachment had to bear, yes, it is impossible to be a ninja without facing danger, but facing danger and being sacrificed are two completely different concepts.

"A ninja's sacrifice can only be because he is willing to sacrifice, and it should never be sacrificed [for anything]."

To complete the mission and the lives of his subordinates, is this choice a doomed fate for White Fang? Makoto smiled bitterly.

Because this man will not have any trade-offs and hesitations between the two:

"Yu Jiu, I repeat, abandon the mission and annihilate the enemy in front of you...... Execution, execution, order, order. ”
