73. Before the decisive battle
Wang Bo gave an order, and all his subordinates retreated in an orderly manner.
The Konoha ninjas who were originally beaten finally reacted, and the enemy actually retreated, which is too weird, obviously they have the absolute upper hand, why did they suddenly retreat.
Uchiha Shisui looked at Shiro's departing figure, did not pursue, hesitated for a moment and joined the ranks of rescuers.
For example, in pursuit of Shiro, the life of Konoha's ninja is even more important.
He is such a person.
And the reason why Wang Bo wants to retreat is not because he wants to give Konoha a chance to surrender, but because Konoha's reinforcements are about to arrive, and if he doesn't leave now, it won't be long before the enemy will rush up.
Although the ninjas under him are all good, they will still be overwhelmed by the enemy sea in the face of several times the enemy.
That's why Wang Bo gave the order to retreat.
Anyway, tonight's goal has been achieved, not only destroying the trap set by Konoha side, but also killing a large number of Konoha ninjas.
Wang Bo roughly calculated, this battle lasted only about half an hour, but Konoha lost at least hundreds of ninjas.
These include a few upper ninjas, dozens of middle ninjas, and hundreds of lower ninjas.
This can be said to be a considerable blow to Konoha.
After all, even if it is Konoha, it is not an easy thing to cultivate so many ninjas, and the lives of so many ninjas are enough for them to drink a pot.
After Wang Bo and his party retreated, they returned to their temporary camp and set up camp, but they closely watched the movements around them to prevent the ninjas on Konoha's side from counterattacking.
On the other hand, when the reinforcements from Konoha's side arrived, they saw a group of remnants defeated, and the leading ninja Hinata Hinata was suddenly surprised, and quickly ordered the other ninjas to start saving people and putting out the fire.
After a busy night's work, they finally managed to get everyone out.
Even the bodies buried in the ground were dug up.
After some statistics, Nara Shikaku finally got the death list, glanced at the numbers on it, and couldn't help frowning.
Kakashi Hachiki walked over and took a look, his face twitching.
Since the Third Ninja World War, in the past ten years, Konoha has never encountered such tragic casualties, let alone such a tragic defeat.
Even in the Nine-Tails Rebellion that night, it was not the ninjas who suffered the most, but the civilians.
This is the most serious casualty since the third ninja war.
Hinata Hinata knew that this was not good news when he saw the faces of the two people, but he still asked, "How is the situation?" ”
Nara Shikahisa said: "In last night's battle, according to statistics, the ninjas who died were four hundred and thirty tall, and the injured ninjas were more than 1,400 people, half of whom were seriously injured. ”
Hinata Hinata took a deep breath, although he already knew that the news might be bad, but he didn't expect it to be so tragic.
After a battle, Konoha lost thousands of ninjas.
"What a Igarashi, what a Igarashi!!"
Maitkai was furious, smashed the table in front of him with a punch, and his arrogance soared, and he opened the sixth door directly in a fit of rage.
A terrible wave of air blew away, but Kakashi suddenly appeared in front of him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Calm down." ”
"How calm do you tell me." Maitkai yelled, "The dead and the wounded are my Konoha companions. ”
"And what do you want?" Kakashi Hachiki asked.
"I want revenge!" Maitkai said without thinking, "Avenge the death of your companion." ”
"Then you should be calm, if you are so impulsive, it will only ruin things." Kakashi Kakashi was unmoved, looking at Maitkai with a pair of dead fish eyes.
Maitkai's body stiffened slightly, slowly closed the sixth door, and sat down.
Nara Shikaku looked up, looked at Sarutobi Asma and said, "How did Hokage-sama respond?" ”
Asma took a puff of his cigarette, he knew what Nara Shikaku was asking, in fact, he had returned to Konoha last night and relayed Wang Bo's words to his father.
His father, Ape Fei Hizai, also responded.
"Hokage-sama told me that Konoha will never surrender, let alone a merchant."
Nara Shikaku nodded, and he knew that the Hokage would say this, "Then, we must mobilize Konoha and prepare for the Fourth Shinobi World War, yesterday's battle, the enemy has already told us that they are not inferior to any ninja village." ”
Everyone nodded.
Nara Shikaku paused for a moment, and then said: "Also, if we can't solve this battle in the shortest possible time, once the time drags on, then the other ninja villages will inevitably tear up the agreement with us, and then we will not face the Igarashi family, but other ninja villages." ”
"Facing enemies on both sides is not good news for us Konoha."
Today's Konoha is no longer the Konoha it used to be, Orochimaru defected, Tsunade ran away, and his whereabouts are uncertain, and there are no more people in the village who can lead the army.
If you are attacked on both sides, the possibility of collapse is simply too great.
After some careful consideration, Nara Shikaku said, "Therefore, I propose that we must mobilize the entire Konoha with a thunderous force to annihilate Igarashi's army, otherwise something worse will inevitably happen as time goes by." ”
Everyone was shocked by Nara's analysis, but they had to admit that Nara's analysis was very reasonable.
Kakashi Hachiki said, "At this point, we can only go up. ”
Nara Shikahisa nodded and asked, "When will the next reinforcements arrive?" ”
Asma said, "You can come here at noon today." ”
"Okay." Nara Shikahisa said: "Then we will face off with the enemy at noon today and defeat all of them." ”
On the other hand, the people who were in the meeting did not know that a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows were watching their every move.
After hearing everyone's plan, the man who was hiding in the shadows left Konoha's temporary base, and when he got outside, he squeezed out of the ground and turned into a black one.
"Is there a decisive battle at noon today, maybe I can take this opportunity to see Konoha take the nine-tails away, after all, Konoha is not the opponent of that monster."
Others didn't know Wang Bo's strength, but Hei Jue knew it clearly.
After all, Uchiha Obito proved Wang Bo's strength with one arm, which is very terrifying.
