Chapter 505: Strategic Adjustment

When Raksha, Sarutobi and the others arrived at the first line of the Sand Ninja Village, they only saw a dilapidated and looted Ninja Village.

Luo Sha stood expressionlessly on the top of a mountain on the edge of the sky, looking at the ruined home, and did not say a word for a long time.

On the side, Ape Feiri wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak, and finally just turned into a sigh.

Many later, the two escorts finished scouting and returned to report to the two.

"Lord Kazekage, there was a big battle in the Sky Canyon, and from the on-site analysis, we were defeated." One of Rosha's guards said with a hint of crying.

"Judging from the traces of the battlefield, our companions who faced the Iwa Shinobi army on the front line may not have successfully withdrawn."

"They were flanked from front to back, and in the end they should all have died or surrendered."

Luo Sha's whole body trembled after hearing this, he forced himself to remain calm, and asked, "Do you know the approximate casualty data?" ”

The guard shook his head and said, "The battlefield has been badly damaged, and it has been ravaged by the Tailed Beast Jade, so it is impossible to count specific data, but at least a few thousand people died in battle. ”

Luo Sha took a deep breath, thousands of people, as the wind shadow, he knew what a few thousand people meant to the Sand Ninja Village.

"Go to a few nearby settlements and see how many people have been transferred," he asked. ”

"And confirm the situation of Ryosuke and Iara."

"Yes." Several of the guards quickly dispersed after receiving the order.

When Sarutobi heard this, he also wanted to know about the situation of the sand ninja, so he also stayed and waited for a reply from a few people.

After a while, several guards returned one after another, and along with a few people, there were also many sand shinobi who had moved in advance, including Maki.

Markey brings back the news that Airo is still safe and sound, but there is no whereabouts of Ryosuke.

"Kazekage-sama, Ryosuke asked me to transfer ahead of time with civilians and children, and he brought about five thousand ninjas to stop Iwa Shinobi in the first line of heaven."

"But until the end of the fighting here, no one escaped."

At this moment, the last trace of Luo Sha's illusion was directly shattered. couldn't hold on any longer, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person fell straight down.

Several guards hurriedly stepped forward to hold Luo Sha.

Luo Sha said to Markey: "Markey, gather everyone together, go to the south and choose a place to establish a new ninja village, and give up here." ”

"Send someone to negotiate peace with Iwa Shinobi again, as long as Iwa Shinobi is willing to let go of Sand Shinobi, other conditions are negotiable."

With tears in his eyes, Markey said, "Yes." ”

Subsequently, Luo Sha took the initiative to say goodbye to Ape Fei Ri and left the first line of heaven.

Ape Fei Ri saw Luo Sha leave, and suddenly felt as if he was witnessing the beginning of a new era.

The fall of Sand Ninja Village had an unimaginable impact on an old man like Sarutobi Richi.

"Iwa Shinobi is getting stronger and stronger, and a large ninja village has been captured, and this kind of thing has never happened." Ape Fei Ri thought to himself.

"Is the policy of the so-called second-generation adults that I have adhered to all these years wrong?"

"It's because I've been busy with infighting, which gave Iwa Shinobi the opportunity to rise."

At this time, a figure flashed in Sarutobi's heart: the Uchiha mirror that was sent away by the black hand hidden by himself and his good friends.

White Fang, who was killed by public opinion.

Orochimaru, who was driven away by himself.

In order to follow in the footsteps of Orochimaru, Jiraiya was killed by Yun Shinobi and Iwa Shinobi.

The wave feng shui gate couple who died in order to seal the nine tails.

The Uchiha who lost the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye stopped the water.

This will probably have died at the hands of his own Uchiha Fugaku.

There is also Itachi Uchiha, who is about to become a scapegoat and defect this time.

Sarutobi finally regretted it a little: "How good it would be if these people were still there, and how good it would be if Konoha could unite like Iwa Shinobi." ”

"Second generation lord, I have betrayed your trust, I should not sacrifice those heroes who shed blood for the village for my own selfish desires."

At this time, one of the guards of the ape flying sun slash stepped forward and asked, "Three generations of adults, are we going back to the village?" ”

Ape Fei Ri's somewhat godless eyes slowly focused on the person in front of him, and then nodded and said, "Go back." ”

Glancing at the Sand Ninja Village that had been abandoned by Rasha, Sarutobi Hizashi took a few guards and set out on the way back to Konoha Village.

This time, the ape flew away in vain, but I always felt that something was blocking it.

While Sarutobi was still rushing back, the Konoha army that Tsunade had promised to mobilize by Raksha had already reached the border between the two countries.

It's just that at this time, Tsunade has already received information from Sarutobi Hichisha, and the Sand Ninja Village is gone. So the Konoha army did not cross the border.

The army only stayed at the border for a while, and when it was confirmed that Iwa Shinobi had returned, Tsunade recalled the army.

……

At this time, Yichen had already flown back to Iwa Ninja Village with Hayatsu, Uchiha Izumiraku, and the twenty or so Uchiha children rescued by Kakashi.

Uchiha Izumiraku temporarily lived outside Iwaninja Village, and in order to accompany Uchiha Izumiraku, Zaoju also temporarily moved out of the loess house and temporarily arranged a place to live near Uchiha Izumiraku.

Those twenty or so children, like the previous children, were scattered by Yichen and raised among some civilians and middle and lower ninja families in Iwa Ninja Village.

When Onoki returned with the army, Yichen held a high-level meeting.

In the Tokage's office, Yichen glanced at everyone, and then smiled at the uncomfortable morning quit who was attending the meeting for the first time: "Morning quit, relax, don't be nervous." ”

"You're still young, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, learn how your predecessors handle affairs."

Zaojie nodded, but still a little nervous. Allowing him to attend a high-level meeting is tantamount to giving him the status of an honorary advisor.

This is not because of the strength of the early ring, and the early ring does not have the real strength of the shadow level now. This is done for the entire ninja world to see.

Konoha desperately rejected the Uchiha, and finally did not hesitate to slaughter all the largest clans in the ninja world.

But Iwa Shinobi was willing to accept the Uchiha, and when the Uchiha clan had just been wiped out and homeless, he made an Uchiha a high-level player, which was playing against Konoha.

Therefore, Onoki and the others are very polite to the morning ring, and from this moment on, the children of the Uchiha clan will not be treated worse than the Uzumaki clan in Iwashinobi.

The Uzumaki Clan hasn't really come up yet.

Sitting next to the morning ring is Shinya Matsutani, an honorary advisor with the same identity as him.

Matsutani Shinya also quietly said to Zaojie: "Senior brother, don't care what Teacher Yichen says, just listen to it, it's very simple to participate in this kind of meeting, just doze off and pass." ”

Although he was stupid, he was still shocked by Matsutani Shinya's magical brain circuit, and he stammered and whispered, "Is this really okay?" ”

Yichen knocked on the office with his hand and said, "Of course not, don't learn from this lazy ghost, and keep up with the Han seniors." ”

Han on one side scratched his head in embarrassment, although he had attended several high-level meetings, he had actually done nothing.

He felt that although Matsutani Shinya said something strange, the essence seemed to be correct.

Yichen ignored the three honorary advisors, and instead asked Onoki, "How is the arrangement over there in the Land of Winds?" ”

Onoki said: "I have left 1,500 ninjas in the territory of the Land of Wind, and I have chosen an oasis with a good geographical location to prepare for the establishment of the Land of Wind Branch. ”

Yichen looked at the position that Onoki was pointing to, frowned and said, "The Country of the Wind is really big, this branch has to manage half of the Country of the Wind, and the pressure is still too great." ”

"In this case, the northern part of the Land of Wind, a small area to the east, will be assigned to Nagato of the Land of Rain."

"The Akatsuki organization is our ally, and this time we have violated our agreement by sending troops to take down the Sand Ninja Village. This site is used as compensation. ”

"More than half of the west side will choose a new place to establish a branch."

Ikura said: "Then the fog ninja village is also going to show it." ”

Yichen shook his head and said, "This is exactly the topic of today's meeting, and we will discuss it later." ”

"After taking a large chunk, the area managed by the Wind Nation Branch is still too large, and there are not enough people for fifteen hundred."

"In addition, the construction of the new branch also requires a lot of manpower. Well, transfer another thousand ninjas from the village. ”

"The other branches should have lost some personnel this time, and some of them have been intercepted in the Wind Country branch, and there are more or less vacancies."

"These vacancies will be kept for now, and they will be filled when the new class of ninja school students graduate."

After speaking, Yichen looked at Zhizihui and asked, "Is it enough to adjust the manpower like this?" ”

Chiko Hui nodded and said, "Enough, there are a lot of new graduates last year, and although I have lost some in the Land of Wind and the Country of Bears these days, I can still accept it." ”

"It's just that once the little white ball research you mentioned last time starts, it will inevitably have to draw a large number of people from various departments, and there will be no enough manpower at that time."

Yichen nodded and said, "Don't worry, the Little White Ball Research will not transfer so many people at once, and it won't use so many people at the beginning." ”

"By the time the research group slowly expands, the new class of graduates will have already graduated."

Chiko Hui nodded and said, "By the way, the students who graduated last year have grown up very quickly in the actual battles of the Land of Wind and the Country of Bears. ”

"Do you want to arrange for the new batch of graduates to graduate early, it just so happens that this large area in the northern part of the Wind Country still needs to be cleaned up."

"Bandits, wandering ninjas, and traitorous ninjas are all good training objects. Don't waste such a large area. ”

Yichen thought about it and nodded, and said, "Then arrange for them to graduate early, then this time the Zhongnin exam will also be held in advance, so let's arrange it in the next few days." ”

Chikohui nodded and said, "No problem." ”

Yichen continued: "Did Luo Sha take the initiative to send someone over for peace talks? This time, I asked for more things from Sand Shinobi, and Luo Sha will definitely give it. ”

Chuanbei said: "The Sand Ninja Village has been emptied by us, and Luo Sha has nothing to do with it. ”

Yichen said: "This is easy to do, let Luo Sha use the golden sand to pay the war reparations." ”

"The amount is the amount I used to vaporize in Konoha with light escape."

"Tell Luo Sha, tell him Ming, from now on, we Iwa Shinobi will not target Sand Shinobi again."

"Not only that, but we Iwa Ninja will also help them keep their position as one of the six ninja villages."

Ikura and Kawakita glanced at each other and thought, "Sure enough, I was guessed by the three generations of adults." ”

Yichen continued: "In the future, the sand ninja will not be bothered, at least for a few years, the sand ninja will not be a threat to us." During this period, even if Konoha and Yun Shinobi have the opportunity to hit us hard, Sand Shinobi will have to weigh it if they want to intervene. ”

"Don't put the more than 1,000 captives back first, stay for us to help build the branch. When necessary, we can also help our newcomers practice their hands. ”

"Wait for two years and put it back when the sand patience has slowed down."

Styx was a little worried and asked, "Put them all back?" Will the tiger return to the mountain? ”

Yichen said: "Of course, if you put it back now, you will let the tiger return to the mountain." Shinobi: This will be the time when there is the greatest shortage of manpower. ”

"But in the next few years, even if there is a shortage of funds for the sand ninja, a large number of new people will be replenished, and when the sand ninja is finished replenishing the new people, we will put these more than 1,000 people back."

"When the time comes, Luo Sha will still have a headache about how to feed this group, he will only have a headache with too few tasks, not enough for this sudden extra ninja."

"Okay, let's talk about Konoha, does Konoha have accurate information over there? Is there anything going on in Kajiyama, and has he sent back any useful information. ”

Saka shook his head and said, "In Kajiyama, they are under house arrest, and all their external channels have been cut off, and they can only communicate with the village through spiritism. ”

"Konoha's information, they can't inquire about Kajiyama. We can only get the information that Konoha deliberately made public to the public now. ”

"The Uchiha clan has been wiped out, and Konoha claims to the outside world: Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui and the rest of the Uchiha clan are dead."

"In the entire Uchiha clan, there are only two brothers left, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke. Konoha put the blame on Itachi Uchiha, and it is said that the matter was endorsed by the sole survivor, Sasuke Uchiha. ”

After listening to Saka, everyone glanced at the morning quit with their heads down and a depressed mood, but everyone didn't deliberately interrupt the discussion for the sake of the morning quit.

Yichen nodded and said, "Uchiha Shisui should not be dead, and it is unlikely that Uchiha Fugaku is alive." ”

After a pause, Yichen said: "It's just that in this way, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes don't know if they will be transplanted to Uchiha Shisui. ”

Ban was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this.

Yichen asked, "What about Kakashi Hachiki?" I killed a team of Konoha shadows and blamed him, did Konoha send out any information related to him? ”

Saka shook his head and said, "No, I haven't received any information related to Kakashi Hachiki. ”

Yichen thought for a moment and said, "Find a way to make this matter public in Konoha so that Kakashi can't stay in Konoha any longer." ”

"You can ask Tuan Zang for help with propaganda matters, and Tuan Zang should be happy to help us. By the way, do you have any recent information on Danzang? ”

Saka said with a strange face: "Yes, a lot. It's basically all propaganda by Tuan Zang himself. ”

"The intelligence claims that Tuan Zang alone easily repelled the army led by Ikura and Kawakita."

Yicang and Chuanbei glanced at each other, both a little speechless, the two of them went around the border between the two countries of fire and earth, and after acting in a scene, they went to the country of bears.

The two of them didn't even see Tuan Zang's face, and Tuan Zang actually had the face to publicize this.

Saka continued: "Konoha is all passing now, and originally our target was Konoha Village. But he was beaten back by Tuan Zang, so he retreated and chose Sand Ninja Village. ”

"In addition, Tuan Zang also proposed that Tsunade is from the Thousand Hands Clan, and she is jealous of the Uchiha Clan, so she let the Uchiha Clan be exterminated by the Uchiha Itachi."

"Later, Danzou also proposed to train Uchiha Sasuke himself, but it doesn't seem to have worked out."

Yichen smiled and said, "Tuan Zang is really unexpectedly capable, and then I will help Tuan Zang in the negotiation with Konoha." ”

"Continue to increase the prestige of the group in Konoha, and if necessary, you can even ask Konoha for less."

Chiko-Megumi blinked and asked, "Konoha's compensation?" We didn't have a real big battle with Konoha, and besides, Konoha wasn't defeated, so how could they agree to compensate us. ”

Yichen smiled, didn't explain, and said, "Send someone to talk first." ”

"Next, let's talk about the Kiristin, or rather, the strategic direction of the village's future."

"After the capture of Sand Ninja Village, the situation in the ninja world has changed again."

"The temporary withdrawal of the sand ninja is inevitable, so the alliance between Konoha and the cloud ninja and the sand ninja does not exist."

"The hostile alliance no longer exists, and it's hard to say whether our alliance with the Akatsuki organization and the Mist Shinobi can be maintained."

"It stands to reason that it is possible for the Misty Shinobi to leave us behind now and cooperate directly with Konoha and Yun Shinobi."

"But I don't know what the old fox thinks of the Mist Ninja Master. The attitude of the fog ninja still needs to be tested. ”

"That's why I didn't call the fog ninja in this operation, and I didn't give the cake to the fog ninja this time."

Speaking of which, Yichen slowed down and gave everyone a time to digest.

After a while, Yichen continued: "Next, let's discuss the targets of our focus in the future. ”

Ban said: "In the six ninja villages, the sand ninja has been suppressed, and the Xiao organization is the target of wooing. ”

"Whether the Fog Ninja is on our side or not in the end, it can't be the target of our suppression, the Fog Ninja Village is too far away."

"In this way, we actually only have two choices, either to suppress Konoha or to suppress Yun Shinobi."

Yichen nodded and said, "That's right, who do you think is the right choice?" ”

Ming said: "Yun Ninja three shadow level, how many Konoha are there now?" ”

Onoki said, "The Hokage, Sarutobi Hichi, and Danzo are three. Except for these three people, the situation of Kakashi Hachiki and Uchiha Shisui is uncertain. ”

"In addition, although Uchiha Itachi and Orochimaru are Konoha's traitors, they will still stand on Konoha's side at a critical time."

"This, even if Kakashi Hachiki defects."

After listening to Onoki's words, Hades looked at the strong people of Iwa Ninja Village present and said, "In this way, Konoha's strength is actually not weaker than ours." ”

Except for Lao Zi, the others who have shadow-level strength are here.

They are Yichen, Onoki, Ikura, Loess, Kawakita, Han, Matsutani Shinya, and Zaojie.

The early quit is still a little reluctant.

Iwa Shinobi has a slightly more total shadow level than Konoha, but Iwa Shinobi also has more enemies, so there is almost no advantage against Konoha.

Ming then said: "From this point of view, it seems that it is too difficult to suppress Konoha, so I can only choose Yun Ren first." ”

Saka said: "It can't be counted like this, although Konoha has no Uchiha clan, but there is still a group, and Konoha is still not united." ”

"And Uchiha Itachi and Orochimaru are traitorous ninjas after all, even if their hearts are towards Konoha, they can't be completely treated as Konoha ninjas."

"We're just suppressing Konoha, not starting an all-out war with Konoha, so there's no need to count these traitors at all."

"I think instead of suppressing the united Yun Shinobi, it is better to continue to divide Konoha."

Ikura and Kawakita both nodded, and Chiko Hui thought about it and felt that Saka made sense. Others share the same view.

Yichen looked around and said, "It seems that everyone agrees with suppressing Konoha, so it's decided, and then the strategic goal of the village will shift from Sand Shinobi and start suppressing Konoha." ”

"Before, we suppressed the Sand Ninja, our method was to hit the economy of the Sand Ninja Village, let's talk about suppressing Konoha, what is the focus of our crackdown?"

There was no need to discuss this time, and everyone said almost in unison: "Infighting!" ”

Yichen said: "Okay, the direction is also there, and the main way to suppress Konoha is to provoke Konoha to fight." ”

"Let's discuss the specific methods."

After a long time, the discussion ended, and Yichen said, "In the future, we will focus on attacking Konoha according to the methods discussed today." ”

"Yes." All should be.

Then Yichen looked at Zaojie and asked, "Zaojie, what is the situation with Uchiha Izumi, do you think it is possible for her to join the Iwa Ninja Village?" ”

Zao Jie shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, Sister Quanluo is still very repulsive to the village." ”

"But with the children we saved, she won't be hostile to the village."

Yichen nodded and said, "That's it, Uchiha Izumiku will arrange to live outside the village, and you can go and see him more often." ”

"I have time to take my younger siblings to get close to her. Not only do you bring the children of the Uchiha, but you can also bring the children of the Uzumaki clan, Ninji and Kurama Yakumo. ”

"If she wants to see the children, she can also enter the village with you."

Zao Jie nodded and said, "I see." ”

Yichen said: "Okay, the heavy topic is over, let's talk about everyone's harvest this time." ”

Everyone was the first to look at Hades.

Ming also smiled slightly and said, "The large amount of materials brought back from Sand Ninja Village has been counted, and this is the biggest benefit of the village over the years. ”

"Even if it is the poorest ninja village in the Great Ninja Village, the wealth accumulated by the Sand Ninja Village far exceeds that of the Tang Ninja Village."

All of these supplies are still in the Wind Country, and I plan to set aside some of them for the construction of the Wind Country Branch, and all the rest will be shipped back.

This part of the material is enough for the little white ball experiment for a while.

Everyone laughed.

Seeing this, Yichen took out a few scrolls given by Uchiha Fugaku and said, "This is the wealth accumulated by the Uchiha clan, and I plan to take out Ichiha and give it to the morning ring." ”

"Let the early precepts be distributed for the cultivation of those Uchiha scattered in the village."

"All the others were confiscated. Of course, calculate some contribution points for the Uchiha clan, and these children can be exchanged for ninjutsu when they grow up in the future. ”

Everyone nodded.

Zhizihui said curiously, "Teacher Yichen, where did you get these scrolls?" ”

Yichen said: "Uchiha Fugaku gave it, and he asked me to take care of his two sons. ”

"In the future, if you have the opportunity, brainwash Uchiha Sasuke, tell him the truth about the extermination of the clan, let him know his brother's suffering, don't hate his brother, and return the favor of Uchiha Fugaku."

All:......

I have never seen such a brazen person.

Tell Sasuke Uchiha the truth, is this taking care of him? This is pushing him into the fire pit.

If the Konoha higher-ups knew that Uchiha Sasuke had learned the truth, would they let him grow?

However, everyone did not speak, but pretended to look at the scrolls with curiosity, as if they were very curious about the wealth accumulated by the Uchiha clan.
