Chapter 554: Discussion

"Okay, Obito, you weren't born when Elder Menyan dedicated his life to the village, but speaking of this, I do remember a mission that Hokage-sama once entrusted me."

"A few years ago, there were remnants of the country of departure disguised as civilians of the country of fire to enter the village to survive, and this matter was covered up by some people who abused their power, and not long ago, Lord Hokage was assassinated, and the assassin was the remnant of the country of departure."

Zhuan Xiaochun interjected: "Abuse of power!" This is a very serious problem of malfeasance, not to mention that they are also suspected of assassinating the Hokage, could it be that they are just careless? ”

Shuimen glanced at her lightly and smiled lightly: "Why did Elder Zhuan say this?" Did the elders know about this? ”

Zhuan Xiaochun's face sank: "I have made countless contributions to the village, do you doubt me?" ”

Shuimen waved his hand: "It's serious, it's just a little emotional, after all, the few people in charge of this matter were all subordinates of the Zhuan Elder before, and they have all been sacrificed, and I can't believe that someone would be stupid enough to use ordinary people to assassinate the strongest person in the ninja world." ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the people in the big tent flashed, and the gaze that looked at Zhuan Xiaochun became weird.

"Haha, from the first ninja world war to the present, the old body has gone through countless battles large and small, and has paid endless efforts for the village......... There are juniors who suspect such a ridiculous thing on the old body. ”

Mizuto smiled coldly and was about to sneer at a few words, when a communication ninja hurriedly ran in.

"Lord Watergate, the coalition forces suddenly changed their route and set off towards the eastern part of the Fire Forest, and it is suspected that they are preparing to attack the troops who made the previous detour and attack our eastern guard troops."

After speaking, the man took out a scroll from his bag and handed it over: "This is Hokage-sama's latest summons. ”

Watergate spread out the scroll, and after a simple sweep, a touch of weirdness appeared on his face.

After a pause, he announced loudly in front of the curious eyes of everyone: "The Hokage has an order to assist all the people of the Fire Forest to evacuate, and at the same time all troops retreat to the first line of defense, the order will take effect immediately and be executed immediately." ”

When they heard this, the crowd was in an uproar.

Liaoyuan couldn't help but exclaimed: "The first line of defense is only a few dozen miles away from the village, if we do this, won't we want to give up a large area of territory?" ”

Mizuto said solemnly: "This is the Hokage's order, and the Hokage will explain this, all you have to do is obey the order." ”

"What's more, what the current situation is, you have also seen that the coalition forces divide the troops, and the village will not gain any benefit from blindly defending it."

"In the unlikely event that they penetrate the flanks, the main force will be at risk of being attacked on the flank, so it is better to merge and retreat so that even if they can still penetrate us."

"Lord Watergate, I have a doubt, at the moment when the village is in crisis, why Hokage-sama still refuses to mobilize troops behind enemy lines."

Hearing this, Mizuto just wanted to say something perfunctory casually, but suddenly saw that the other party didn't look like a person from Konoha, he thought for a while, and said in a harmonious voice instead: "Hokage does this, naturally he has his opinions, you don't have to worry about us favoring one over the other." ”

"Because once the battle is lost, the biggest loss will be our Konoha, and if we win, all the territories attacked behind the enemy will also be reported to the alliance, and no one will be left behind according to the size of your contribution."

The man nodded awkwardly: "You are serious, this is just a little doubt, not a question." ”

With that, he smiled and sat down again.

Looking at this scene, Obito snickered secretly, although it seemed that everyone was serious and cautious.

But in fact, except for the Konoha ninja who is really worried, most of the others are pretending to be watching them. Fat cat bar

In fact, they have very few worries in their hearts, but the interests of the post-war period have been lingering in everyone's minds in advance.

They don't know if Uchiha suke will fight a battle that he is not sure of, but this war, although Konoha said it in an awe-inspiring manner, is to avenge the heroes of the village, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a war launched by Konoha who wants to reshuffle the cards.

Shuffle, if you don't have absolute confidence and strength, do you dare to do this?

And now, the battle reports that came back from behind enemy lines are indeed more shocking than the other, which greatly proves how much strength Konoha still has not invested.

In this way, countries have more careful thinking.

There is only so much available land in the ninja world, and it is too remote to take care of it, if it is divided according to merit, it will inevitably be good and bad, and who is good and who is bad has become a pimple in the hearts of all countries.

Under this premise, they subconsciously thought that as long as they were friendly enough to show extreme care for Konoha.

In terms of the division of interests, it can bring preferential treatment to the village, although this cannot be confirmed.

But people's habitual thinking is to leave the big head to the country close to them.

And how to reveal closeness, of course, is to care about the situation of Konoha all the time, worried about your direct expression of feelings, this can always be seen.

Obito didn't know if Shuimen had seen this, but the man's plan was obviously in vain, Watergate looked like a businessman, and he didn't think about having a long talk with these people to get closer to each other, and he didn't seem to be worried that the army would be defeated.

It was not clear where Watergate's confidence and calmness came from, but he did know a little about the fact that Jie ordered the troops to retreat and reduce the casualties in the village.

The purpose of Jie is to unify the ninja world, or to unify under everyone's cheers and petitions.

With this premise, the method of crushing the main hostile armed forces by brute force and forcibly ruling and suppressing them will not work.

Otherwise, the defeated coalition forces will only cry and choose to cede land and pay reparations, instead of resisting to the end.

At that time, if Konoha still chooses to kill them all, it will definitely be ugly, and it will be ironclad to cause the people of the world to criticize him.

So, in order to ensure that these guys have no way out, the only way to do this is to tear up all their room to retreat.

The choice at the moment is most likely to be to retreat with a combined army and speed up the plan of conquest behind enemy lines, so as to prevent the 33 Nationalities Alliance Army from crumbling into a plate of scattered sand if the enemy rear is not cleared.

As for why Jie was able to make such a choice confidently in such a situation where the enemy was strong and I was weak, Obito guessed that there must be a hidden hand in the village that he didn't understand.

Soon, Suke's order began to be executed, and the V-shaped defensive forces surrounding the Fire Forest retreated from front to back to flank.

When the formation was stretched into a raised arc, everyone began to move closer to one point.

Although the coalition forces are also very strange about Konoha's dynamics, the current situation has no choice for them, so they can only keep rushing forward.

Every time you take a step closer to Konoha, the battle situation in the rear will be eased a little, and once Konoha is defeated, all the battle will be reversed in an instant.

At the same time, the Konoha Village communication team, Suketsu also re-issued a new order to the invading troops behind enemy lines.

That is, to give up the conquest of the small countries first, gather all the forces, and start to attack the four major powers, so as to break the absolute before there will be the idea of peace talks.
