Chapter Seventy-Eight: Wind Shadow Luosha
The Land of the Wind.
Frontline battlefields.
Since the Sand Ninja Village chose to attack in an all-out way, almost all the ninjas in the entire village were bet on the frontline battlefield, and there were only a small number of ninjas and juniors left behind in the village in the rear.
There is a reason for daring to do this, on the one hand, the Land of Wind is located in a desert environment, resources are scarce, and ninjas who are not adapted to the terrain of the Land of Wind will be greatly affected in the territory of the Land of Wind.
On the other hand, geographically speaking, the only one that can sneak attack the hinterland of the Land of Wind is the Iwa Ninja Village of the Land Country, but once the Iwa Ninja Village expends a huge amount of troops to try to sneak attack their hinterland, the Cloud Ninja Village, which is eyeing the Iwa Ninja Village, will definitely not let go of the opportunity.
The superiority in all aspects allows them to carry out an all-out attack.
Inside the camp.
In the most central tent.
"Kazekage-sama, this is today's battle damage statistics...... Twenty-one of our men were killed, forty-three were seriously wounded, and one hundred and nine were lightly wounded......"
A shinobi from the Sand Hidden Village took a copy of the sorting information and handed it to the fourth generation of Wind Shadow Luosha.
Luo Sha took it and glanced at it, put it on the table, and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to change the battle plan, and we will continue to act according to the original plan tomorrow." ”
"Yes."
The shinobi replied and left the tent.
In the camp tent, there were not only four generations of Kazekage Rasha, but also the general staff officer Ebizo, and the elder Chiyo and several other high-ranking members of the Sand Ninja Village.
"Actually, until the attack on Hakura's side begins, it is most appropriate to keep the troops still to reduce the battle damage, but doing so may arouse suspicion on Konoha's side......"
Ebizo looked at a map on the table and spoke slowly.
Luo Sha nodded and said, "Yes, so in order to prevent Konoha from being alert, even if some casualties are allowed, it is necessary to maintain the frontal battlefield operation, and when the operation on Ye Cang's side is successful in one fell swoop, the situation on the battlefield can be completely reversed immediately!" ”
Chiyo glanced at Luo Sha with deep eyes and said, "I hope it will go so well." ”
Luo Sha noticed the strangeness in Chiyo's eyes, but did not make any response, but said to Chiyo: "It's not too early, Elder Chiyo will go back and rest first, and tomorrow it is best for you to lead the team to conduct another round of attacks." ”
“……”
Chiyo didn't say much and walked towards the outside of the tent.
Raksha looked at Chiyo's back, and a faint glint flashed in his eyes.
Among all the shadows of the five ninja villages in the ninja world, Luo Sha's strength is the weakest among them, if the three generations of Kazekage who are in the prime of life do not have an accident, it will be difficult for him to take over the four generations of Kazekage.
But he took over in a hurry, whether it was his direct subordinates or his control over the village, he was far weaker than the three generations of Wind Shadows, but he sat firmly in the position of the four generations of Wind Shadows!
It depends on the means!
Unleashing an all-out war against Konoha and setting off the Third Ninja World War is one of his means!
The so-called revenge for the three generations of Kazekage and asking Konoha to give an explanation are simply nonsense, and even plundering Konoha's resources is only a secondary purpose.
His main purpose is to rely on war to secure the position of Kazekage!
Using this war to weaken the rival families and other high-level subordinates who are hostile to him, and cultivating elite subordinates directly belonging to him is what he is really doing, so he doesn't care about the so-called casualties at all, and he doesn't even care about the outcome of this war.
Kaede Night's evaluation of the four generations of Wind Shadow Luosha is that the characters like Tuan Zang are even much worse than Tuan Zang in terms of the overall situation, after all, Tuan Zang still has the goal of unifying the ninja world.
What did Luo Sha do?
Brainlessly launched an all-out war against Konoha and depleted a lot of the combat power of his village, so as to improve his power and status, and sit firmly in the position of the Wind Shadow.
Later, because Ye Cang achieved dazzling results in the war and became a hero, threatening his position, he immediately joined forces with Wuyin Village to calculate and killed Ye Cang.
Then he kicked Chiyo and Ebizo, who were highly respected and able to compete with him in status, out of the decision-making level, and let both of them retire.
After that, he was killed by Orochimaru during the middle ninja exam.
It can be said that throughout history, this Kazekage has never done anything that is really beneficial to the Sand Ninja Village, and everything he has done is to stabilize his power and position.
In a sense, Luo Sha's methods are indeed powerful, and he can develop from taking over the wind shadow in a hurry to covering the sky with one hand, and he is the only one in the Sand Ninja Village, but this kind of means of playing with power is something that Kaede Ye despises very much.
The reason is simple.
Sit back and watch the sky!
This world is not a world of power and art, but a world where strength is supreme, and in front of such an existence as Madara Uchiha and Thousand Hands Pillar, it is extremely ridiculous to play with the so-called power art.
Chiyo and Ebizo actually know Raksha's purpose, but there is no way to stop it, because Raksha occupies the general situation, using Yang Mou, using the disappearance of the three generations of Kazekage as a reason to wage war against Konoha and cannot refute it, plus there is a deep hatred between Sand Ninja Village and Konoha itself, and it has been supported by the entire village.
"Elder Hai Laozang, you should also go and rest."
Raksha turned his head to look at Ebizo, who was sitting there looking at the map.
Hai Laozang stretched out his hand and groped on the map twice, raised his head, with a trace of sadness on his face, and said: "I'm afraid I can't sleep, I don't know why, I have an ominous premonition." ”
"Ominous premonition?"
Luo Sha was surprised for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's because you're too tired, Elder, it's better to go and rest early, the follow-up battlefield layout still needs to be commanded by you, Elder." ”
"Maybe."
Ebizo sighed, stood up, and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, a figure rushed into the camp tent, knelt down on one knee towards Luo Sha, and reported in a somewhat anxious voice: "Report to Lord Kazekage, we have lost contact with the surprise attack force!" ”
The cozy atmosphere in the stadium changed suddenly.
Ebizo chuckled in his heart and glanced at Luo Sha.
Luo Sha's face also changed slightly, although the surprise attack force was not his direct subordinate, he didn't care very much about anything, but suddenly hearing this kind of news, it was impossible not to react.
"When did you lose contact?!"
"It's noon today."
The contact ninja urgently reported: "According to the original plan, the surprise attack force should contact us at noon, but there was no news, and in the afternoon, the contact force took the initiative to send a message to try to contact, but there was no response in the evening, and the news I just got from the psychic beast was...... The contact ninja over there is dead! ”
Ebizo's face became ugly.
The ominous premonition came true.
The position of the contact ninja in the surprise attack force is quite important, it is protected in the center of the team, and the death of the contact ninja means that there is a big problem with the surprise attack force!
“……”
Luo Sha's face was also a little gloomy, but most of it was disguised.
The surprise attack plan is Hai Laozang's decision, and if something goes wrong, Hai Lao will have to carry more than half of the pot, and his status will be greatly weakened, which is a good thing for him.
"Kazekage-sama, Elder, what's next?"
Contact the ninja to ask Raksha and Ebizo anxiously.
Hai Laozang took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Don't mess up, the surprise attack force has Ye Cang, even if something happens, they can deal with it, and their current situation should be scattered and lost...... Send out scouts over there to find out what's going on and contact them! ”
"That's it."
Luo Sha also nodded and spoke in a deep voice.
The contact ninja answered, and quickly left the tent to deliver the order.
