Chapter 322: Disintegration

Terumi gasped for breath, her face was bloodless, she half-knelt on the ground, and quickly took out a piece of clean gauze from her shinobi bag with both hands, bandaging the wound of the misty ninja lying on the ground.

The once busy dock has long been empty, and the cargo ships that used to be docked next to the dock have also become wrecks, with cargo and planks floating on the sea, and occasionally the bodies of innocent civilians can be seen floating in it.

The tragic situation after the ninja war was clear at this time, but Terumi was not in the mood to care about these things for the time being, and communication with the local lords was not something she cared about now.

The crimson blood that continued to flow from Mist Shinobi's body had formed a pool of blood under her, and Terumi ignored it as if she hadn't seen it, ignoring the blood staining her clothes red, and only focused on Mist Ninja's body.

The sudden attack of the dried persimmon ghost shark was beyond Terumi's expectations, and although she wanted to make the Kiri Shinobi get back the "shark muscle", she didn't mean that she wanted to fight the other party in such a precautionary situation.

If you can plan before the battle with the dried persimmon ghost shark, the situation after the war on the side of Terumi will not be so miserable.

A mist ninja is already dead, and the mist ninja under Terumi is also seriously injured, bleeding nonstop, but Terumi herself is in the best condition, although the chakra is a little badly consumed, but there is no injury.

The two guards almost fought for their lives to protect Mizukage, and the only thing to be thankful for is that their efforts were rewarded.

At Terumi's feet is a knife with a strange style, shaped like a living thing, with a wide blade, covered with barbs, and a pair of large mouths at the top, which is the "shark muscle" of one of the seven ninja knives lost in the outside world in the Fog Hidden Village.

The corpse of the former owner of the "shark muscle", the persimmon ghost shark, was lying ten meters away from Terumi.

The dried persimmon ghost shark was naked, his miserable blue skin was very conspicuous, but his face was no longer recognizable, it seemed to be splashed with a liquid with strong corrosive properties, Bai Sensen's bones had been exposed to the air under the liquid corrosion, and the smell was disgusting.

After a while, Terumi finally bandaged the mist shinobi under him, but the mist ninja who had lost too much blood had fallen into a coma, and although he saved his life, he lost the ability to move in a short time, and he still needed Terumi to help.

Terumi who slowly straightened her body wiped the fragrant sweat secreted from her forehead, and when her eyes fell on the corpse of the dried persimmon ghost shark, she still gritted her teeth in annoyance.

To return to the "decapitation broadsword" and "flat-eyed plaice", and get the support of recovering the "shark muscle" in the Five Shadows Talks, compared to Mei Ming and Wu Yin Village, it can be regarded as a happy thing, but unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, the two shinobi who accompanied Zhao Mei Ming to participate in the talks were killed and injured, and this feeling made her feel a little embarrassed.

Terumi could almost imagine the reaction of the ninjas and the villagers in the village when she returned to the village with this kind of news, even if she had just brought back two pieces of fairly good news, the return and impact would be greatly reduced compared to them.

Even so, Terumi couldn't delay, even if she thought of the negative impact it might cause in the village, she had to leave for the land of water immediately.

At this time, most of the five shadows were still on their way back to the village, or they had just returned to the village, and they couldn't get help in time when they asked for help, and it took time for reinforcements to arrive.

She has already understood the power of "Xiao", even if she has become a water shadow, Terumi is still worried about her own safety in this environment, in recent years, the fog hidden village under her leadership has begun to gradually restore its former status and exert influence, if the water shadow who is now the head of the ninja village is killed, whether it is the economy or internal affairs are not yet stable, I am afraid it will be difficult to grasp the opportunity to redivide the tailed beast next.

Rather than waiting for others to come to her rescue, Terumi trusted herself and the power of the Fog Hidden Village even more, and now she just wanted to find a boat and return to the Fog Hidden Village immediately, and work out all the work of the Ninja Coalition with Konoha, Sand Hide, and Iwakure.

"Fortunately, there is still 'shark muscle'." Terumi looked down at the ninja knife "shark muscle" at her feet, and finally showed a reluctant smile.

…………

There is a busy scene everywhere in Konoha Village.

The reconstruction work in the war area is progressing rapidly, and the construction site is in full swing, with various building materials continuously being sent to the construction site, and two groups of craftsmen from the land and the wave country seem to be speeding up the construction as if they are at a different stage.

On the other side, the ninjas of Konoha are also preparing for the ninja united army, and for a while, there is a bit of a busy scene, the departments are working quickly, and the ninjas will find time to maintain and inspect the ninja equipment one by one, no matter how busy they are - this is a matter of their own lives, and no one will be careless.

The village has begun to hoard food, and not only that, but also began to buy a lot from the outside world under the auspices of Shikamaru.

Originally, the food reserves in the village were definitely enough for Shinobu Village to cope with this war, but outside of the battlefield, Shikamaru also needed to consider the follow-up reactions caused by the war. The increase in food prices is almost a certainty, this is not the world where Shikamaru was in his previous life, and he doesn't have much hope at all for the government control ability of countries such as the Fire Nation.

He had already instructed Xiang Phosphorus and the others who were far away in the country of Tian, who had been buying and hoarding grain recently, and there had already been rising food prices in the surrounding countries, but Shikamaru didn't care about this.

"So, the general headquarters should be set up in Yanyin Village?" Nara Shikahisa asked out loud.

The interior of the Hokage Building, which was rebuilt by Shikamaru himself, has been basically renovated, and at this time, the leaders of various departments gather in a large conference room that has just been renovated to listen to Shikamaru explain the terms of the Five Shadows Meeting, which he and Iara, Ohnoki, Terumi and others have completed discussing.

Shikamaru, as the leader of the ninja combined army this time, is actually the most suitable to set up the headquarters in Konoha Village, but Konoha is still being rebuilt, so it is not a suitable choice.

In addition, Wuyin Village is located on the island, and the transportation is inconvenient, including Terumi Ming, Shikamaru and the others did not think too much about it at all.

And the remaining two ninja villages, the environment of Shayin Village is too bad, even Yanyin Village is not a fairyland on earth, but compared to the desert full of wind and sand, it is much better.

"Yes," Shikamaru crossed his hands on the table, pressed a document, and replied in a deep voice, "So we must do a good job in the distribution of personnel, whether it is combat or the ninjas who stay behind, we must not be sloppy at all." ”

There is no need for Shikamaru to explain too much, the leaders of the various departments present nodded silently in agreement, they are all experienced shinobi or special shinobi, and naturally understand what Shikamaru means. If the coordination is not good, the ninjas sent to fight are not strong enough, and they are looked down upon by other ninja villages, and they may also make mistakes in the face of strong enemies.

In this world where individual strength can sometimes even be stronger than collective strength, even if the Konoha ninjas at this time don't know that Uchiha Obito still has the means to create 100,000 white absolutes, they will not despise this mercenary organization composed of high-level rebels from various ninja villages.

If Konoha Village, who is the leader of the combined army, does not perform well on the battlefield, whether it is Nara Shikamaru as the Hokage, or the ninjas of Konoha Village, they will feel shameless.

On the other hand, if Konoha despises the role of the remaining ninja because of this and is beaten by the enemy, the Konoha ninja will regret it at that time, and the coordination of the two forces is the top priority.

Shikamaru made Nara Shikaku responsible for leading the ninjas who stayed in Konoha Village, and he himself had to go to Iwakuin Village as the Hokage, so the selection of the people left behind was the top priority, whether in terms of ability or from the perspective of close relationship, no one was more suitable for this candidate than Nara Shikaku.

"I hope that the captains of the various departments will be prepared to fight a long war, and the duration of the war will likely be measured in 'years', and the stockpiling of materials will also be based on this." Shikamaru suddenly threw out this remark during the meeting, which caused a lot of discussion among the Konoha ninjas present.

As soon as Kato Shizune left, the position of the head of the medical department was taken over by Chiba Gen, who was under Shikamaru at this time, and after hearing these words, he asked, "Is it because you are worried that the enemy will not fight us head-on?" ”

The strength of the traitorous ninja in the "Xiao" organization is not low, if you are bent on escaping, even if the four ninja villages join forces, it will not be easy to wipe them out, but if you don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, the harm of ninjas of this level is too great, and the two days will not be at ease for Onoki and the others.

"There are reasons for this, but it's not all." Shikamaru shook his head lightly and said.

There was a huge map of the ninja world behind him, covering almost the entire wall, and after answering Chiba Gen's question, he pointed to the map behind him, and without sealing, he saw a jet-black, substantial chakra popping out of his fingers.

Shikamaru used Chakra as a whip and pointed to the Land of Thunder on the ninja map behind him, and drew a circle on it, and then explained, "Yunyin Village, like us, originally wanted to take the leadership of the United Army, but they lost to us, so this time, they did not join our United Ninja Army. ”

On the other hand, they also felt nostalgic for the loss of the Eight Tails, "If the two advisor elders who are second only to the Hokage in the presence of Koharu and Mito Menyan, who are second only to the Hokage, they will definitely have to express their opinions when they hear Shikamaru's words, and they will definitely have to express their opinions and undermine Shikamaru's prestige, but now no one in the conference room spoke up and interrupted Shikamaru's words: "The four generations of Thunder Shadow claim to rely on Yunyin Village's own strength to capture the Tailed Beast, so we can't be sure of their intentions, but the possibility of provocation or even starting a war with us is not small. ”

"I don't care what the Land of Thunder and Yunyin Village think, what I want is ......," Shikamaru on the map, the area where the Land of Thunder is located is a little heavier, and then drew a cross: "After the war, take advantage of the opportunity of the union of the four villages to disintegrate the Land of Thunder and destroy the Yunyin Village!" ”

As soon as Shikamaru's voice fell, the conference room was suddenly silent, but then someone hurriedly spoke up and expressed his opinion.

Is that a hasty decision? Hokage-sama, will the other ninja villages agree to continue the war after eliminating Akatsuki? Mori Naibi asked with a frown, his scarred face looking particularly oppressive when he was serious, not only in the interrogation of prisoners, but also in meetings to draw special attention to what he said.

"The current situation is actually very simple," Shikamaru said one by one, holding up his fingers, "Whether it is the trouble that Yunyin Village made for us when the combined army fought against 'Xiao', or whether it showed war intentions after the war, or even the fact that there was no aggression or provocation from the beginning ...... a while, none of this is important to us. ”

"Since the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow refused to join the Ninja Coalition, the fate of the Land of Thunder and Cloud Hidden Village was sealed." Shikamaru withdrew the chakra condensed on his finger and said, "The news just came this morning that the five generations of Mizukage were attacked by 'Akatsuki' on the way back to the village after the Five Shadows talks, although Mizukage did not have an accident, but now the Fog Hidden Village and Mizukage have begun to urge the villages to speed up the pace of forming a joint army. ”

"'Xiao' has become a big problem for the five major ninja villages, if Yunyin Village makes trouble when the ninja combined army fights against 'Xiao', we don't need to say too much, and Iwain, Shayin and Mist will not let it go, and Yunyin Village will be directly drawn into the war between the combined army and 'Xiao'." Shikamaru pursed his lips and said: "If Yunyin Village didn't do this, it wouldn't be of much significance, thanks to their continuous military expansion and increased military funding in recent years, when it comes to the military strength of the village, Yunyin Village has faintly surpassed Konoha momentum, and because they stayed out of the battle between the Ninja United Army and 'Akatsuki' this time, their strength will be better preserved than the Combined Army." ”

"In contrast, even if the combined army finally recaptures the tailed beast from 'Xiao', the cultivation of human pillar power will not be able to form enough combat power overnight, in terms of military strength, except for Konoha Village, there is no ninja village that can compete with Yunyin Village alone." Shikamaru continued, "Cloud Hidden Village will become a new threat, and I will then convince Tsuchikage, Mizukage, and Kazekage to agree to work together to defeat Cloud Hidden Village and buy myself time to develop." ”

"However, geographically, after destroying the Land of Thunder, it will be difficult for the other three villages to obtain many war benefits, including territory, but it is ...... the Land of Fire." Sennay's furrowed brow showed no sign of relief, still questioning.

The Land of Wind and the Land of Thunder are separated by the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth and the Land of Thunder are separated by several smaller countries in succession, and the distance between the Land of Water and the Land of Thunder is even greater.

If the Land of Thunder is destroyed, it seems that the Land of Fire will gain more benefits, but Mori Noi Biki does not believe that the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Water cannot see this.

Shikamaru nodded silently when he heard this, he knew that Mori Nai Biki was not targeting himself, or opposing the war, and many of the tasks undertaken by the ninja village in peacetime were also life-threatening, and they were only a little better than the war, and the captains of the department here were all ninjas who had experienced war and were not afraid of war, maybe not war maniacs, but they were not pacifists.

War is not child's play, and the odds of success can only be increased by solving all foreseeable problems, taking into account the worst-case outcome and finding solutions in advance.

Even if Shikamaru has already gotten rid of Koharu and Mito Menyan, and as the Hokage, there is no one to restrain him in the village, but it will not make the Konoha high-level become his hall.

Mori Naibiki's performance is exactly what an experienced ninja should be.

"There is a dispute between the two tails, and the three villages of Yanyin, Shayin and Wuyin don't want to stay out of it." Shikamaru continued, "On the other hand, after the war, I plan to support another country that is close to Konoha and the Land of Fire, but remains independent, to take the place of the Land of Light. ”

Shikamaru glanced at the direction of Tanokuni on the map and continued: "The new country needs to develop, just after the war, the combined army ninja village that has retrained the human pillar power also needs to recuperate, after the war, it is not surprising that we can at least get more than ten years of peace." ”
