The sweeping phase of this battle lasted about three days in total.

In terms of results, the result of the battle was a complete victory for Konoha's side. The fog was swept away from the land of fire, and the advantage that the enemy had gained in the early stage by striking the Konoha reconnaissance force was wiped out after this battle.

The Konoha Front pushed forward directly and advanced to the coast again, preparing to build a new defensive line. And with the size of the troops on Konoha's side this time, it was impossible for the fog to instigate another raid like the previous one and achieve the same result.

By the time Fog Yin instigates the next attack, it will definitely still be a large-scale operation with thousands of people, and it will never be smaller than this operation.

As the war progresses, it is normal for each other to win and lose, and in order to defend the victory and eliminate the defeat, the two sides of the war will naturally continue to increase the weight, and the scale of each battle will also expand...... Until there is nothing to add.

Increasing the number of ninjas on the front line in order to achieve victory will also eventually lead to "defeat" becoming an unbearable outcome, and at that point, the war will be over.

But if the war is to develop normally, it will be a very distant thing - and yet Hanyu does not want to squat on the front line for five or ten years.

At present, the defeat of the fog can only be regarded as a small setback, although the defeat on the front line is a thing that greatly affects the confidence and future expectations of the war, but even if the army that the fog is broken into Konoha and the army is completely annihilated, this is not a subversive defeat for a large ninja village.

What's more, it is impossible to completely annihilate the enemy.

Three days later, the "clean-up" of the war was over, and the real clean-up was next.

The injured ninjas were treated immediately, and then everyone began to recover the bodies of the fallen ninjas. As for the corpses of the enemy, most of them will be incinerated, except for a small number that will be used for dissection, research and other experiments.

Then the ashes of the enemy are hoisted into the sea...... Well, there's absolutely no hatred in this, it's just the "light of humanity" of the Konoha ninja:

May the waves of the sea send the ashes of their enemies back to their homeland, the Land of Water.

Although no one cares about the direction of the currents this season. As for the part that is swallowed by the sea fish in the middle, then there is no way, it belongs to a type of toll.

In short, in order to prevent the epidemic of epidemics, the cleaning of the battlefield is a matter worth taking seriously.

The occasional captured living enemy would be sent back to Konoha in the same way as the foggy documents that Hanyu had captured. What to do with them and them will be up to the village, and that is no longer the business of the front.

Tidying up the terrain is also a big job, don't forget what Konoha's ninja brigade did at the beginning of the battle.

While some of the Konoha ninjas were busy with these "labor tasks", the headquarters and camp of Konoha had been relocated back to the coast, and the post-war summary meeting was held.

“…… On the whole, we achieved the pre-set operational objectives, and according to the rough statistics just obtained, the ratio of our losses to the enemy in this battle was even slightly lower than 1 to 3 - that is to say, this battle was a great victory for us. Uzumaki Zikou summed up the battle that had just ended.

And the result should be satisfactory to everyone.

The first purpose of the battle itself is to pull out the wedge that the fog hides in the land of fire, which is an absolute requirement, that is, to achieve such a goal is victory in battle, otherwise it is defeat.

Minimizing the damage on Konoha's side is only secondary, and it is even said that Konoha is worth a lot of sacrifice in order to achieve the combat goal.

However, due to the adoption of more unconventional tactics, the eastern front of Konoha not only did not pay the large number of sacrifices as imagined, but even the overall loss ratio was only one-third of that of the enemy...... It is equivalent to sacrificing a Konoha ninja, and three mist ninjas will be dragged to accompany the burial.

It's an exaggeration that ninjas can do an average of three hits, so do you have to expect everyone to be a dozen sevens?

When this kind of result is presented, even the three generations of Hokage, who are particularly cautious and the most opposed to radical warfare, have no opinion.

Hanyu also nodded with satisfaction, but he still had to be modest, "Fortunately, it's a normal result, after all, our ninjas are very brave in battle, and there are professional chopping kings like Hagi fighting on the front line." ”

This "complacent" attitude is a little underwhelming, but Hanyu's statement is not unreasonable - come to think of it, Konoha is fighting a tailwind this time, and the data comparison will certainly be very good.

"The result is satisfactory, but the summary of the battle is one thing, and we still can't let our guard down...... First of all, there is a question that we should roughly figure out, that is, when will the next attack instigated by the fog hide come? Hanyu asked again.

The next counterattack will definitely come, the difference is only in the timing of its arrival...... Could it be that the fog is incognito in a large ninja village, and after being beaten by Konoha and then shrinking up?

This is a whimsical idea.

You must know that in this war, the fog is on the offensive and actively attacking, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to completely change the war strategy that has been determined a long time ago because they have encountered a little counter-- otherwise why would they actively fight against Konoha in the first place.

Enemies whose overall strategy can repeatedly jump sideways, and countries that do not know their own positioning and requirements at all, are not worth paying attention to.

"The exact time is impossible to estimate, but according to our previous discussions, we believe that if we take into account the usual factors such as the sorting out of defeats, the analysis and summary of battlefield information, the regrouping of personnel, material reserves, secrecy and new planning decisions, etc., at least a new round of large-scale attacks in Wuyin should be three months later." Uzumaki Ziko said.

"So under normal circumstances, we would have at least a three-month grace period?"

For three months, Hanyu silently calculated that this was a very urgent time period...... One can only hope that his "Mr. Spy" will be able to bear fruit during this time.

"Yes, Hanyu-sama, but there are differences of opinion on the scale of the enemy's newly assembled offensive.

On the one hand, there are opinions that the scale of the Fog Hide's offensive will not be too large, and it will still be comparable to ours, after all, from the fundamental point of view, the Fog Hide's appeal to Konoha is to constantly encroach and weaken the overall strength of Konoha.

On the other hand, the opinion is that because of the previous defeat, they will at least have the intention of 'disgrace' in the next battle, and they will at least invest twice as many troops as ours in order to ensure victory......"

…………

Konoha.

Just when Hanyu was discussing how to deal with the fog hidden next, the three generations of Hokage had naturally received the results of the battle on the Eastern Front first.

Overall, the results are naturally very satisfactory, however...... I don't know why, the more he looked at the information coming from the Eastern Front, the more he felt a headache.

First of all, the third generation has just purged Konoha public opinion, which makes the public's perception of Hanyu go in a direction that is beneficial to the third generation Hokage and harmless to Hanyu himself.

However, just a few days after this public opinion was formed, Hanyu actually gave Konoha a "brilliant victory" back.

What do you say?

Where does this leave the faces of those who have recently been keen to point fingers at the "commanders of the Eastern Front"? Isn't the work that the three generations are doing now useless again?

Hanyu ...... Can't you settle down a little?
