A Konoha ninja with a bloodstain on his face dragged his tired body forward, ready to seal and cast a spell.

The sun had risen again, and the battle that had suddenly erupted and lasted for a day and a night had come to an end.

Although at the beginning of the battle, due to the sudden attack of the enemy and the numerical superiority, the Konoha side was at an extreme disadvantage, but because of the subsequent return of Hanyu and the defeat of the three generations of Mizukage, the Kigakuin side lost its supreme command and love to fight, and in the end, Konoha saved the situation and successfully annihilated most of the remaining enemies.

It is precisely because Konoha has high-end combat power such as Hanyu and Hachiki Shuo Shigeru on this side, and the battle takes place in a place where you can rely on the defensive barrier effect of the Uzumaki clan, so although the Konoha front line has suffered a considerable blow, because in the end they also destroyed the same number of enemies, the result of the battle is barely acceptable......

If we put aside the lack of fog concealment monitoring capabilities on the front line, only calculate the battle loss to exchange ratio.

Konoha is fighting with weakness, so every ninja is using "one for two", and their battles are stubborn and reluctant. After the battle, they had a rare respite, and most of them either sat somewhere to rest, or simply went straight to the same place and fell asleep tired.

The members of the medical team also began to get busy, at this time, the medical resources on the front line were obviously insufficient, and almost every ninja needed more or less treatment, but the medical ninjas here were only three classes, and the manpower was seriously insufficient.

As for the ninja just now, he didn't even have a chance to rest, and there were not a few ninjas like him who were still busy after a battle.

Not because of anything else, but because he's a water ninja...... During the battle yesterday, Hanyu set fire to the mountain, although it was very cool, but afterwards it was necessary for everyone to extinguish the mountain fires one by one, otherwise someone might accidentally be burned to death.

It can be said that Hanyu has added a lot of workload to a considerable number of ninjas for no reason...... It's really Hanyu.

In addition to the water escape ninjas who put out the fire, the remaining ninjas also began to spontaneously clean up the battlefield after resting a little and regaining some mobility.

Sakushige Hagi is still leading an elite squad to patrol the battlefield, searching for the remnants of the enemy, who are either playing dead or hiding.

Hanyu was talking to Uzumaki Zikou summing up the battle that had just ended.

"Hanyu-sama, the results of the battle have almost been counted, and after a day and a night of fighting, including the dead and wounded, our team has probably lost sixty percent of its combat strength...... This was quite a major blow, and the attack of the Fog Concealment was not only unexpected by us, but also far greater than we imagined.

The enemy's attacking forces had apparently bypassed the Vortex Country and rushed into the Land of Fire, and when Hanyu-sama sent back the signal, the fog also began a large-scale raid, and it was too late for us to retreat, so I had to give the order to gather all the ninjas in the camp. ”

Uzumaki Zikou summed up Konoha's battle damage in this way, and now even she was not intact, at this time, the sleeve on her right side had lost somewhere, and the exposed arm was wrapped with circles of bandages, and spots of blood had oozed from the bandages.

There was a slight logical problem in her words...... As long as the fog is attacked, it must be a large-scale attack that can swallow the front line of Konoha, after all, Konoha has too little combat power in this direction.

Of course, there is no situation where there are a hundred people here in Konoha, and then the fog also sends a hundred people, everyone competes fairly, catches and fights, in that case, how much more cerebral palsy is the water shadow?

The problem is that everyone didn't expect Kirihide to really do something to Konoha.

The results of Zikou's report made Hanyu fall silent for a while. As a first-time commander to lead a team, this result is far more than just a "disadvantage" for Hanyu...... That is to say, he had just arrived at the front line, and his team had already lost half of it.

"There's nothing wrong with the decision you're making." After the silence, Hanyu said.

In his thoughts, it would be the best choice if Konoha could retreat in time and avoid the edge of the fog hide, but since the fog had already planned, how could it be so simple to let the ninja of Konoha leave.

So Hanyu's idea, while fine, is not realistic.

It's good that Uzumaki Zikou can gather all the ninjas scattered out and concentrate their defenses, so as to avoid the end of each team being broken in isolation.

"Has the matter here been reported to the village in time?" Hanyu then asked again.

"I've already reported that when the front line was raided, I made my first report, including the fact that the enemy was several times the size of ours and the fact that Hanyu-sama encountered three generations of Mizukage in the country of Vortex; Later, after Hanyu-sama returned, I gave a second debriefing, informing me that the situation on the front line on this side of the village had basically stabilized again; And after the battle, I reported the results of the battle for the third time. ”

Uzumaki was obviously very aware of Konoha's purpose and requirements for holding their group of people on the shoreline, so she was able to pass on information to the village in a very timely and rapid manner when such a major change occurred...... Konoha just wanted Hanyu's group to act as a pair of eyes looking at the sea, and of course Zikou would inform the village of what they saw.

A fact that is more serious than the fact that Fog Hide raided the camp on the Eastern Front is that Fog Hide has clearly expressed its hostility to Konoha and that it has declared war on Konoha .

Although Konoha had been trying to avoid a two-front situation, this bad thing happened shortly after the war began.

And things seem to be getting worse...... If the clouds in the north also have intentions for Konoha.

The external combat environment between Konoha and the Fire Nation has begun to deteriorate.

"The Hokage and Konoha definitely don't want to hear such news, which is tantamount to knocking on their heads and casually mocking the entire Konoha IQ...... The facts show that their previous strategic judgment was seriously wrong.

If the ninjas I brought to the Eastern Front were not more than a hundred but a thousand, then Kigakure would not dare to take action in such a hurry, even if he had any thoughts......"

Strategic mistakes are not the problem of one person or a few people, it is a monolithic thing, however...... A mistake is a mistake.

The Hokage has cards to play in his hand, the war has just begun, and a large number of ninjas are concentrated in the village, but the three generations are a bit of a buckle and always want to save troops...... This "stinginess" is, of course, one of the reasons for the current problems on the Eastern Front.

"Hanyu-sama, now is not the time to say these things, I ...... Fear that the village will hold you accountable for losing this battle. ”

Zikou looked worried, her mind was still more delicate than Hanyu in some aspects, so now was not the time for Hanyu to say cool words at all.

“……”

Hanyu thought about it, if the person above was really dark enough, he could indeed be pushed out as a scapegoat, after all, he was the commander, and now there was a huge defeat on the battlefield.

If the supreme leader wants to maintain his bright and majestic image, he must not make mistakes, so mistakes will be carried by his subordinates...... It doesn't matter if it's active or passive.

"The situation is not the main factor in whether I will be held accountable, the real main factor is how much value my 'chips' are, so ...... Well, I still trust the three generations of Hokage. Hanyu responded to Zikou's words.

He wouldn't be naïve enough to trust Konoha higher-ups out of emotion, but he knew that even the people who hated him the most needed to weigh the effects of his combat power against a war.

Regardless of the other high-level officials, as far as the three generations of Hokage are concerned, he definitely doesn't want Hanyu to deviate from morality.

Hanyu has never been a native of Konoha and he can't stand the grievances, but he certainly won't be willing to bear something that shouldn't be borne by him...... He's not that kind of character.

His relationship with Thousand Hands is now a thing of the past, after all, Thousand Hands are hidden, but now Hanyu controls the Shadow Stream, in a sense he is the one who unites the Uzumaki clan, and the Uzumaki clan is closely related to the Nine-Tails...... Don't forget, now Konoha has eight nine-tails, so the disposal of future generations is a huge project.

Of course, from another point of view, Hanyu is stuck between the whirlpool and Konoha, a bit like a middleman who makes the difference, and for the Konoha executives, the ideal state is naturally to directly control the whirlpool clan, so that the ninjas of the whirlpool can command like an arm.

But if you think about it this way, if Uzumaki Mito is still alive, should he be eliminated along with Mito?

"Don't think too much," after thinking about it, Hanyu felt that the battle had just ended, and there was no need to worry about the division of the pot, "The changes that have happened here are too big, and I will definitely go back to the village and explain the matter to the Hokage in person later." ”

Now that the situation on the Eastern Front has changed significantly, it is necessary for Hanyu, the commander, to return to Konoha once...... Now Konoha can't still count on relying on these dozens of people to resist the entire fog, isn't that the brain into the Ganges water.

And if Hanyu was just one person, then it would be quite convenient for him to travel back and forth to Konoha.

"Next, after cleaning up the battlefield a little bit and recovering the remains of our sacrificed ninjas, we will leave two or three reconnaissance teams composed of Hyuga ninjas as the main body to monitor whether the fog will invade again, and the rest of us will retreat to a safe enough distance until the village decides to send reinforcements."

No one knows if the fog will make a second intrusion in a short period of time.

Hanyu was temporarily afraid of the fog, so he decided to retreat.

After all, there are many people in the fog......

So the fog is awesome.
