It's been a few days since the last battle.

Fallen Leaf City, a city on the southwestern frontier of the Land of Fire, is now in flames.

The entire army of 1,400 ninjas who had been sent to recover the Southwest Canyon had returned with less than 500 of them, which was a heavy loss.

Another sad current event is that the original commander of this unit, Yuto Fukada, and the deputy commander Tetsu Kojima were also unfortunately killed on the battlefield.

Therefore, the supreme command of Fallen Leaf City was finally elected by the powerful figures of all parties, and Watergate was responsible for directing the defense of the entire military fortress as the temporary commander of Fallen Leaf City.

This is also the heaviest defensive mission for Watergate - because it is related to the lives of the 496 Konoha ninjas in the entire military town.

However, although Mizuto had never commanded an army of this size, he still arranged the ninjas responsible for defense and vigilance in an orderly and reasonable manner.

Because not long ago, they spotted a small group of Sand Hidden Ninjas trying to reach the gate of the fortress from the weak side of the defense, and then foiled the Sand Hidden Conspiracy attempt.

"It's very dangerous, if you really get touched by that group of people, the consequences will be unimaginable." Yoshimaru said in fear for a while.

Because one of the sand ninjas they killed found hundreds of detonation charms on his body......

With this number of detonators, any gate can be blown up......

Moreover, the defenses of Deciduous Castle are not as strong and tall as those of Kikyo Castle...... So many hundreds...... I'm afraid the entire defense will be destroyed.

When the time comes......

"After they arranged these detonation charms, once they detonated, then we really had to fight against the water...... And now that the sand has completely besieged us, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle. Okita also felt that it was really a dangerous situation just now.

"Let the 4 teams strengthen their vigilance, and Sha Yin should have a move soon. They can't wait. Watergate said.

"Yes!" A Konoha ninja took the order.

"Sand Cakure has now stationed three legions near us, and a total of thousands of ninjas have completely besieged us...... "Their forces are now twice as large as ours, but they are besieging but not attacking......"

"What are they waiting for?" Okita asked in a low voice, and soon he replied, "Maybe I'm waiting for more troops, and then launch a general attack with overwhelming superiority......

"If they keep waiting, I'm afraid the reinforcements from Konoha will arrive, right? Maybe it's time for us to encircle and suppress them? Is Sand Hidden so stupid? Yoshimaru wondered.

"Because they don't have enough time, the only way to take Fallen Leaf City as soon as possible is to attack today......" Watergate realized that he should gather all his forces to fight against this catastrophe.

Mizuto suddenly asked again, "By the way, what about Satomi Hinata?" ”

"Lie down, I think I told you yesterday...... Her chakra was so badly consumed that she collapsed, and at the same time she was seriously injured, and I am afraid that she will not be able to get up for a while......" Yoshimaru replied.

"Hey, this is a broken memory, I actually forgot ......" Watergate patted his head.

"Isn't that how stressful it is...... Speaking of which, though, this is the first time I've met a Legion Commander of Captain Wave's age...... Sure enough, he is the leader of the young generation of Konoha people. Okita said.

"Captain Okita really won the prize. I'm just the acting Legionnaire. I'm not a leader either, if I really want to say it, April Shimizu is. ”

"April clear water? The elite shinobi who was on your team last mission? Okita asked.

"Yes. He is credited with the fact that we were able to escape nearly 500 people this time. ”

In the eyes of Watergate, Qing Shui's contribution is the biggest this time, there is no doubt about it.

If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that none of the 1,400 people would have been able to escape!

The Sand Hidden Ninja had actually set up a net for Konoha to jump.

"Such a person is indeed a hero...... Captain Okita praised, but he changed his tone and asked, "But now he seems to be missing from a mission?" ”

"He must have been buried under a mudslide...... We couldn't get him out......" Yoshimaru said ashamedly.

He arrived at the battlefield at the last moment, but only brought back Satomi Hinata and Mizumon...... As for Qing Shui, he really didn't have enough time to dig him out......

What's more, the situation was critical at that time, and even Satomi was seriously injured.

If you don't evacuate in time...... I'm afraid I'm going to be there forever......

"It makes sense that if you're buried under that kind of mudslide, your chances of survival are slim...... And then to this day...... It can only be the worst outcome......" Yoshimaru felt a hint of regret.

“…… Indeed, according to common sense, it can only be that result. But...... He's Shimizu, maybe there will be a ......turnaround," Watergate said.

Yoshimaru looked at Mizumon and said, "Mizumon, you are really confident in Shimizu...... How would he escape in that situation? ”

"It's not self-confidence...... It's just a feeling, I feel that Qing Shui is still alive......"

"Are you going to send a search and rescue team?" Okita could see that Mizuto was very concerned about the life and death of that Konoha companion.

"No...... We have more difficulties to face today...... We can't waste manpower and material resources on other things in vain. Watergate hesitated for a few seconds, then refused.

It's been a few days since the last battle broke out, and if Qing Shui has been rescued and escaped, I'm afraid he is now on his way back to Leaf City.

"It's also ......"

If you want to send a search and rescue team to that battlefield, you must first break through the blockade line, and the force sent must be elite.

However, the current defenders of Fallen Leaf City are seriously underwhelmed, and it is difficult for them to protect themselves......

So in terms of actual conditions, Fallen Leaf City is not yet luxurious enough to send an elite team to rescue Qing Shui......

"Our top priority now is to resolve the crisis in Fallen Leaf City." Watergate was steady, he knew the burden he was carrying now, a heavy responsibility.

Now that the life of the entire Fallen Leaf City is in his hands, he can't relax in the slightest, any wrong decision can lead to the destruction of them in a vulnerable situation.

"Yoshimaru, you take 5 teams, and support 4 teams at any time." Watergate admonished.

"Okay." After receiving the new mission, Yoshimaru immediately set off to leave.

"Captain Okita, you help count how many seriously injured Konoha ninjas are there here now, we need to send them back to Konoha first......"

"Transfer now?" Okita was surprised, the battle hasn't started yet, why did our commander-in-chief surrender first?

"Yes, if you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave. While the sand has not completely shrunk the encirclement, send these compatriots back to Konoha first. ”
