By the time Yakura arrived at the northern front, it was already late in the evening, and after a day of fierce fighting, Kiriku's defensive line in the outer islands had been shattered by the Eighth Route Army, and not only had a large number of islands lost, but casualties were also increasing.

As soon as Yakura arrived, he ordered the entire army to retreat to the central island. Because of the Konoha aircraft carrier fleet, the maneuverability of the Kiri Shinobi on the outer islands is completely inferior, since the island chain defense line is useless, continuing will only cause more casualties, it is better to preserve the strength and retreat directly to the central island.

On a central island like a small continent, the fleet could not be effective even if it was powerful, and the mobility of the two sides was once again at the same level, and Kirishinobi could rely on guerrilla tactics to delay enough time to complete the negotiations with the sand hidden.

Due to the obstruction of the view of the navy and air force after nightfall, in order to avoid being ambushed by accident, Konoha Shinobi did not pursue, so the ninja army of the mist was successfully withdrawn to the central island.

When Yakura ordered a round of counting, it was found that there were only 42,000 mist ninjas who had preserved their combat strength, and most of the other 8,000 ninjas, except for a few who had already been determined to have been damaged in battle, were scattered and disappeared in the battle. Fortunately, the air force withdrew in time, and in addition to the loss of 2,000 men in the first wave of attacks, 8,000 people were retained, which was a blessing in misfortune for Wu Yin.

Don't look at the air force of the fog in the daytime battle, it is not the opponent of the Konoha air force at all, but these 8,000 air forces have this extraordinary strategic significance for the fog cover! With them, in the next battle, Wuyin will at least not be completely crushed by the Konoha Air Force, and the guerrilla tactics will be much more flexible. Although the fog is not superior in air-to-air, it is comprehensively crushed in terms of air-to-ground, as long as the tactics are properly arranged and do not confront the Konoha air force head-on, the fog hidden air force can play a miraculous role in guerrilla warfare, and the worst can also be used as a reconnaissance method.

When Kigakure withdrew to the central island and began to prepare guerrilla tactics, the Konoha ninja army relied on the fleet and bridge system to quickly occupy the outer islands, and implemented a military policy on the occupied areas according to the custom, and it was clear that the rope tree was not prepared to swallow the islands.

Overnight, the 400,000-strong army under the command of the Rope Tree was spread across the archipelago and scattered among the cities.

After learning about the movements of the Konoha ninja army, Yakura did not take advantage of the night to launch a counterattack, but scattered all the fog ninja overnight, formed hundreds of guerrilla teams, and arranged them in dangerous hidden areas on the periphery of various towns in the land of water, and established a base in advance, as if preparing for a protracted war.

Now that Konoha is scattering his forces in the outer islands, it is more in line with Yakura's wishes, because in this way, their forces to attack the heart island will definitely be reduced, and the guerrilla warfare after the fog will be much easier, anyway, after the negotiation of the country of the wind is successful, the Konoha ninja army will soon withdraw, and then the fog can easily recapture the lost territory. With the habits of the Konoha ninja army, not only will they not have any losses, but maybe the outer islands will develop to a certain extent under the careful management of Skywalker.

Yakura's abacus played well, but unfortunately he didn't know that Rope Tree had already learned about his full plan early the next morning!

This time, the source of information from the dark department is not the Fog Hidden Village, because Yakura has strengthened the secrecy after the last intelligence leak, so the plan for the secret talk with the Wind Shadow this time has not been revealed to the higher-ups, and only the ghost lamp Wanyue and the Fog Hidden Shadow Department, who are personally in charge of the contact work, know the specific information. And the spies planted by Konoha in Fog Hidden Village didn't go so far, so they didn't know anything about it.

This time the information is from the dark branch of the sand hide! As a traverser, Rope Tree actually expected this conspiracy between Yakura and Raksha, because Ye Cang led the heroine to die unjustly and even the conspiracy left a deep impression on Rope Tree in his previous life, with his strong "sexual interest" in this young lady, how could he let the tragedy repeat? Therefore, he had already ordered the Shayin Dark Station to conduct a comprehensive monitoring of Luo Shascoo's every move.

And Luo Sha didn't know the seriousness of this matter before he came into contact with the Fog Hidden Shadows, so his sense of secrecy was not very strong when he contacted him, and he was unintentionally intercepted by the Konoha spies lurking beside him in advance. Of course, the whole process seems simple, and if it is enough to form a thrilling plot in detail, there is no waste of pen and ink here.

In short, Rope Tree has learned the overall plan between Yakura and Raksha, although it is not clear why the two of them are together in the original book without the influence of him as a traverser, but now this conspiracy can be said to be led by Rope Tree intentionally or unintentionally, in fact, before the release of Hakura and 60,000 Sha Yin captives, Rope Tree had already prepared for this result in advance.

And he is not ready to stop this political conspiracy, because the heroine Hakura has very strong beliefs, and during the year of house arrest, Rope Tree has been unable to subdue her by all means. If he hadn't used this conspiracy to make her realize the cruelty of reality and be completely disheartened by Sha Yin, how could he capture the other party's body and mind?

Not only is Rope Tree not prepared to stop the conspiracy of Yakura and Raksha, but will allow the two sides to cooperate, because this time the Sand Hidden Village is also in Rope Tree's calculations.

As for the threat of the Fog Hidden invasion of the Fire Nation after the two sides reached an agreement, Rope Tree admitted that this plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao was very ingenious, but it was not without a backhand to restrain it.

So the next morning, after the Konoha ninja army fully occupied the outer islands of the water country, Rope Tree held a "video meeting" with the Konoha high-level people scattered in various areas through the spiritual network established by the sentient ninja, including Yugiren, who had just surrendered.

In this particular meeting, Rope Tree first directly announced the information he had just obtained. After learning of Yakura's plan, the Konoha executives attending the meeting had violent mental fluctuations. Knowing that the rear of Konoha would be threatened, the vast majority of the people demanded to abandon their attack plans on the Land of Water and return to the country as soon as possible to defend.

Because the newly occupied territories in the west of the Fire Nation far exceed the Water Nation in terms of area and strategic location, if these places are eroded in the war, it is obviously not worth the loss.

Rope Tree, who had been prepared for a long time, first nodded and agreed to everyone's suggestion to return to help, but he pointed out that Konoha could not be led by the nose by the fog, and even if he returned to the country, he would not need so many troops, so he took the opportunity to propose another plan that he had prepared a long time ago. When this plan was spoken, it once again caused a violent mental turmoil from the top of Konoha Upper Command......
