Accompanied by a dense explosion, the right side of the main force of the Iwa Shinobi began to slowly advance towards the Konoha Front.

This was the first time since the battle that the Iwa Shinobi had gained an advantage, and for a while, the morale of the Iwa Shinobi was greatly boosted, and they all struck out, dragging the enemy in front of them with all their might, making them unable to support.

But Yichen was not happy, because this progress was temporary, and Iwa Shinobi just took advantage of a surprising difficulty, and when Konoha also used the trump card, the last guarantee of Iwa Shinobi would disappear.

Will Iwa Shinobi be able to safely withdraw from the battle then?

Commander Konoha now has two choices, one option is to fight separately, that is, ignore the Iwa Shinobi demolition force and sacrifice parts. Use many ninja children to attack, and in that way, Konoha can win in a large area.

In the end, it will definitely be Konoha who wins, but with this method, Konoha will suffer a lot of losses. Of course, Iwa Shinobi's losses will be even greater.

Another way is to send the ninja children against the demolition troops, so that Konoha will not be able to make progress if the fight is in the middle of the rules.

And the demolition force, which is the trump card, is stuck in the depth of the enemy's main force, and Iwa Shinobi will not be able to retreat safely. In the end, Konoha will most likely achieve a complete victory.

The former is a pyrrhic victory, and even if it wins, there won't be much strength left to support Kikyo Castle. Because it is impossible for Konoha to ignore Iwa Shinobi because of the victory in the first battle, the successor Iwa Shinobi will send troops.

The latter can preserve the power of Konoha to the maximum. After the victory, Konoha will still have the strength to support Kikyo Castle.

So Yichen soon discovered that there was a force of about seven or eight hundred people in the Konoha formation, and it quickly moved towards the location of the demolition force.

Remember the URL

After a while, the two armies met.

For a time, a large number of parasites began to spread. All kinds of dogs barked. Giants are ready to wreak havoc.

Not to mention Yichen, who has read the original book, even other Yan ninja knew the origin of those people for the first time.

Oil*** mound, Nara, Yamanaka, Autumn Road, Sunset, Sarutobi, Moonlight, etc., one by one nouns appeared in everyone's minds.

Suddenly, the morale of Konoha was immediately high, and the Iwa Shinobi side showed a worried look on their faces.

Yichen is also not very optimistic about the situation on the other side, and is hesitating to ask Ban if there are any other arrangements.

A white light suddenly flashed from the corner of his eye.

"Huh? What is it? The white light flashed and disappeared without making any sound, making Yichen think it was an illusion for a while.

But this is the battlefield, this is the ninja world, and you can't take it as an illusion when you encounter something unclear.

Yichen immediately looked in the direction of the demolition unit. Then I was taken aback.

"This is? What's the situation? ”

The scene that caught Yichen's eyes was like this, in front of the demolition force, where the children of the Konoha clan who were preparing to show their skills were located. At this time, a vacuum area with a width of five meters and a length of nearly 100 meters appeared.

This vacuum area is neat and neat, and it looks very abrupt. The people inside have all disappeared.

The most terrifying thing is not the sudden disappearance of the ninja in this vacuum area. It's the ninjas on the edge of this vacuum, some of their bodies gone, but some of them remain.

Since the length of this area reaches nearly 100 meters, a large number of body stumps are left.

Some of the ninjas who had lost part of their bodies were still alive, and these people didn't even feel the pain for the first time, and it took a while to react, and one by one they let out screams of horror and pain.

"Dusty!"

This scene is not unfamiliar to Yichen, as early as many years ago, when he was still in the shadows, he had seen a similar situation. Yichen remembers that incident caused Konoha White Fang to commit suicide. It almost caused World War III to break out several years earlier.

Yichen followed the hundred-meter-long trail and looked behind him.

Sure enough, Onoki appeared in mid-air at some point, looking at his hands, he was already brewing a dust escape.

Yichen turned his head to look at the battlefield, and at this time, many people in the Konoha camp also reacted. Among the ninja people, someone is shouting, "Disperse, disperse." This is the dust, and Onoki is coming. ”

A yellow figure kept flickering in the crowd, and each flicker would take away a Konoha elite.

At the same time, a voice came into Yichen's ears.

"Tu Dun - Tuliu City Wall." This is the voice of Jiraiya.

Then a huge mountain of dirt directly blocked the middle of the two armies.

Rumble~~~

The white light flashed again, and this time the effect was far less powerful than the first one. The white light avoided the Konoha ninja disciples who had been blocked by the walls of the earth-flow castle and fell into the denser group of ninjas on the other side. Once again, hundreds of ninja lives were taken.

"Retreat, retreat on all fronts." In the Konoha troops, there was a sound of exclamation.

Almost at the same time, there were also orders to pursue from the Iwa Shinobi.

"Huh~~" Yichen finally breathed a sigh of relief, no wonder the order issued by Ban today was so abnormal, so anxious to seek a decisive battle.

Knowing that Konoha has two shadow-level combat powers, he still has to fight them. It turns out that Onoki is also here, and it turns out that Saka still has such a hard hole card.

In other words, Onoki is really open-minded, willing to attack a group of ordinary ninjas as Tsuchikage.

When he first crossed, Dust Escape was in Yichen's impression that it was a move of a shadow-level powerhouse in battle, and Yichen once thought that it was a single attack ninjutsu.

It wasn't until later from the introduction of the S-level ninjutsu of Iwa Ninja Village that I realized that Dust Escape has always been a group attack ninjutsu. Remote and large range are the characteristics of dust.

And the accumulation process of Dust Escape is destined to not play a good role when the strong fight.

Therefore, Dust Escape is more suitable for group battles.

The next battle was simple, under the leadership of Onoki, Iwa Shinobi was like a bamboo, and like Sand Shinobi, he hit Konoha's battle line directly to the border of the Fire Country.

Onoki took it when he saw it, and instead of blocking the border between the country of fire and the country of rivers like the sand ninja, he returned to the country of earth with his troops, leaving only a small number of troops in the country of grass, and the arrangement of the entire ninja was almost exactly the same as before the war.

After this battle, Iwa Shinobi, as the victorious side, was not comfortable, and the losses were as high as more than 2,000 ninjas. Fortunately, most of these ninjas are middle and lower ninjas, for example, the previous forward troops lost nearly ninety percent, and almost all of those who fled back with Ikura and Yichen were elites.

In the ensuing positional battle between the two sides, Iwa Shinobu and Konoha each lost a few hundred people.

After that, he followed the demolition force to attack the Konoha defense line, and in the subsequent pursuit, hundreds of ninjas were killed and wounded under the desperate counterattack of a large number of Konoha ninjas.

The losses on Iwashinobi's side have reached more than two percent.

So when he returned to the camp, Yichen who came out of the short retreat saw that although there was the joy of victory on the faces of the Shinobi of the rocks, it was more of the sadness of losing their comrades.

After taking a turn in the camp, Yichen came to the headquarters, which had a lot of things to do before, and now it was past the busiest time.

Seeing Yichen coming in, Ikura, Ban and the other two deputy commanders in the command headquarters nodded to Yichen together.

And Onoki said directly: "Yichen, tell me what you think, why did you persuade me to quit the army before." ”

That's right, the reason why Onoki accepted it when he saw it was good was because he listened to Yichen's advice when he pursued to the border of the Fire Country.

"Tsuchikage-sama, seniors, that's what I think. We have accomplished the original strategic goal and dragged Konoha to the main force. And it also exceeded the target. ”

"Konoha lost at least 4,000 people in this battle, although most of the people who died in the final pursuit battle were Nakashinobi. But there are hundreds of ninja elites who died in the dust. ”

"Konoha has already suffered heavy losses, both in terms of numbers and from the backbone. It is impossible for our immediate enemy to support Kikyo Castle in the short term. ”

"But if we continue to advance, then Konoha's attitude towards the battlefield of the Grass Country will change from drawing troops to sending reinforcements."

"When the time comes, we will be like the current sand ninja who can't advance and can't advance, and we are reluctant to retreat. The two sides went from a short-lived war to a long-term war of attrition. ”

"And if we stop at the right time, then Konoha's main sight will still be on Kikyo City, and our original strategy of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight will not change."

At this time, a deputy commander of the camp on the southern front interjected: "However, if we continue to attack, as long as the enemy in front of us is severely damaged or even eliminated again, then the Fire Country will be pulled down by us from the position of the first power." ”

Yichen shook his head and said, "First of all, we won't necessarily win, Konoha has reinforcements. Don't forget, the three generations of Hokage Honjin haven't moved yet. ”

"If we press closer, it's likely that Konoha will shift his focus from Kikyo City to us. When the three generations of Hokage, Jiraiya, and Bo Feng Shuimen work together, can we still win? ”

"What's more, Konoha still has the Nine-Tails. We used the Tailed Beast, will Konoha be reluctant to use the Tailed Beast when his supremacy is not guaranteed? ”

The man was speechless, and Yichenci continued: "Second, even if we really win, how much will we lose. ”

"Today, Tsuchikage-sama shot at a critical moment when both sides were anxious in the form of a new force, which instantly shook Konoha's military heart, and this is our great victory."

"But if Zilai and Bo Feng Shuimen are prepared, even if we win, how many people will be left?"

"At that time, Konoha will certainly lose its hegemony, but will it be our Iwa Shinobi who will replace Konoha as the first ninja village?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, that's right, the policy of reaping the benefits of the fisherman was set before, why did you forget it on impulse?

After a pause, Yichen said, "Moreover, there are three benefits to making peace with Konoha. ”

"First, Konoha is in a difficult situation at this time, and we can extort a sum of money fiercely. Reparations, transfer of task shares, and even land cession are possible. ”

Seeing that several people were very moved, Yichen made persistent efforts and continued: "In addition, we can also propose to let Konoha share some ninjutsu. ”

"Hiss~~" There was an immediate gasp sound in the office.

Ninjutsu, this is the foundation of a ninja village, and Konoha is the most generous in this aspect, and there are almost no shortcomings. But Iwa Shinobi's collection is seriously biased.

If you can get a batch of ninjutsu from Konoha, even if it is only A-level or even just B-grade, which is scarce in Iwa Ninja, you can also greatly improve the single strength of Iwa Ninja.

"Go on." Onoki was in a much better state of mind than the others, but he was curious to know what reason Yichen had next.

Yichen smiled slightly and said: "Second, if we make peace with Konoha, then Konoha can draw troops to support other battlefields, although Konoha's supremacy can be maintained, but this will also force other villages to fight with Konoha to the death." ”

"This is exactly what we are trying to do. We can watch the ninja world war, but we are out of the war early. ”

Everyone nodded involuntarily, which was what everyone expected the most.

"As for the third," Yichen said with a sly smile on his face, "We can let Konoha win the third battle as soon as possible." ”
