Chapter 33: The aftermath of the war

The battle of the mountain castle on the border of the country of grass ended in the smoke of gunpowder.

In this battle, the Konoha Northwest Frontier Defense Force took the initiative to attack, launched a surprise attack when Iwakure's foothold was not stable, and quickly crushed the Iwakuin advance force with nearly twice the total strength and nearly ten times the number of Shangnin, and achieved a record of killing 207 people and capturing 21 people, Konoha Fang only killed 11 people and wounded 47 people, and only 9 of the wounded were seriously injured such as physical disabilities, and the rest of the wounded could also return to combat posts after a maximum of three months of recuperation after emergency medical treatment.

There are currently two main hotspot conflict areas in Konoha, the first is in the direction of the Land of Rain, fighting with the Yunin led by the leader of the Rain Country Rain Ninja Village, Sanshoyu Hanzo, but the battle line is difficult to break through; The second is the Northwest Frontier Defense Force where Uchiha Tokumitsu is located, stationed in the country of grass, not only leveling all kinds of underground organizations in the country of grass in a short period of time, but also annihilating the regular ninja army of Iwakure in one go.

The battle achieved by the Uchiha Tokumitsu Department can be said to be the greatest result achieved in the border area of the Fire Country since the thirty years of Konoha so far.

No matter how arrogant and domineering the Uchiha Fire Gate and Uchiha Tokumitsu were before, and how to weigh the Hokage's edict of "no unauthorized border provocations", and no matter whether the annihilation of the Iwakure advance team by Uchiha Tokumitsu in one fell swoop will have any impact on Iwakure's next move, victory is victory, even if it is Konoha who claims to be righteous, it is still the victor who has the right to speak.

"The victor is not condemned."

Konoha Hokage's office.

The third generation of ape Tobi Hiza looked at the colorful battle report compiled by Uchiha Tokumitsu, and said helplessly to the advisors Mito Menyan and Zhuan Koharu.

"But as a Konoha ninja, he blatantly disobeyed the Hokage's orders and provoked a war with Iwakure without authorization, which will cause thousands of Konoha ninjas to lose their lives in the subsequent wars that may come!"

Mito Menyan frowned and offered a different opinion.

"Hiza, as Danzo said, the Uchiha clan is difficult to trust......" Koharu took over, "The village is facing a lot of war pressure, and now it is difficult for Danzo to advance in the Land of Rain, if the Uchiha and Iwakure are allowed to clash again, I am afraid that the scale of the war will not be controllable......"

Miyome shook his head, but he didn't say anything.

"Then we must also transfer Uchiha Fire Gate and Uchiha Tokumitsu back to the village, and send another person to command the Northwest Border Defense Force, otherwise the ninja army stationed abroad will follow the same example and habitually go alone, and the consequences will be unimaginable......"

The third generation of apes habitually took out their pipes and carefully filled a bucket of tobacco.

The two advisors, Mito Menyan and Zhuankou Koharu, knew that it was the habit of the third generation of apes to fly to the sun before thinking, so they were silent and waited quietly.

"Hoo ......"

A thick cloud of smoke shot out like a sharp arrow, turning into clouds in the air.

"What was our purpose in placing the Uchiha in the country of grass in the first place?"

The third generation of apes said quietly.

"And if the village continues to draw ninjas to fight, the remaining forces in the village will definitely enter a stage of emptiness, and the Uchiha will be the biggest unstable factor."

Saying that, the three generations set their eyes on the two advisors, "Now, our original intention has been achieved, and there is no ......."

"This ......"

Mito Menyan and Koharu looked at each other.

"That being said...... "Koharu still feels inappropriate.

Miyome interrupted her with a wave of his hand.

"In addition, the direct enemy faced by the country of grass is the Iwakuin Village of the Land Country, and the southern part is the region where the rain country is the source of war, and the concentration of Uchiha's family ninjas to this border is also to consume Uchiha's power."

Miyome said without mince words.

Mito Menyan and Zhuan Koharu felt a little embarrassed, although it meant so, but they pierced the window paper so directly, and they couldn't get over their faces as consultants.

"Now, the original main force of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force has been basically withdrawn in the last change of defense, and half of the more than 1,000 people currently exist are Uchiha and his vassal family ninjas, so in this case, what is the use of changing the command? Who can command the ninjas of the Uchiha clan? ”

The third generation picked up the battle report and flipped through it again, and then threw it back on the table in annoyance.

"Let's take a look at what the Uchiha wrote!"

"Look at the phrase 'fight with one punch to avoid a hundred punches', this sentence has spread all over the village!"

"So, in this case, will you take over the garrison command, or will I go?"

The two advisers, Mito Menyan and Koharu Zhuan, were speechless.

The purpose of taking the opportunity of rotation to withdraw the original main squad of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force is also very simple, that is, to weaken the strength of the troops mastered by the Uchiha clan, and to avoid being sent to death by the madmen of the Uchiha clan.

"That'...... Maintain the status quo? After a long time of turning to bed, Xiaochun said in a low voice.

"Maintain the status quo." "And according to the battle report, rewards will be distributed according to the customary practice." ”

The two advisers were relatively silent.

Danzou is not there, there is one less person who is the top cow, and the two advisors can't suppress the Hokage's authority.

"The bounty, forbearance, and medicine will all be paid in full according to the application." The three generations turned up the request for help in the war report.

"This ......" Mito Menyan was a little difficult to do, "the border defense force has asked for too many supplies, if it is fully allocated, there will be a problem with the village's reserves, and if there is any important situation, I am afraid that it will ......"

"Full distribution." The three generations stared at Mito Menyan, "Then transfer the spot in batches." ”

Mito Menyan understood.

Originally, the purpose was to control the movement of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, and the reason for this 'batch transfer' was also very good and spiritual.

"In addition, according to the information of the group, Iwakure is also hoarding heavy troops in the northern part of the country of rain while increasing the border of the country of grass, and its vanguard reconnaissance ninjas have also entered the land of the country of rain, and the specific intention is unknown."

Miyome took out an intelligence file from a drawer and handed it to the two advisors.

"At present, Iwakure has deployed three thousand men on the border of the Grass Country; In the direction of the Land of Rain, Iwakure also mobilized about 4,000 people to camp on the border of the Land of Rain......"

"Seven thousand ninja ......," Mito Menyan pondered.

At present, Konoha has deployed nearly 4,000 ninja troops in the direction of the country of rain, and more than 1,000 ninja troops have also been deployed in the direction of the country of Sichuan and the country of grass.

"In addition, Sand Yin has also begun to have a ninja army transferred to the Land of Rain, the specific strength and personnel allocation is not yet clear, the current dark department is estimated to be about 3,000 people, including Sand Yin's ace puppet troops."

"This is going to fight a four-nation war in the Land of Rain." Zhuan Xiaochun sighed.

"Hanzo has gone too far, and the daimyo can't tolerate him......" Miyome said as he smoked his pipe.

In the external expansion of the rain ninja, he not only grabbed the resources of other small countries, but also extorted and kidnapped the daimyo and famous lords of various small countries, which was simply a direct challenge to the secular dominance of the daimyo and nobles.

"Okay, let's not go that far." The three generations knocked on the pipe and knocked off the burned tobacco.

"Is there any problem with the reward of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force?"

Mito Menyan and Zhuankou Koharu glanced at each other, and they had no opinion.

"Then let's issue it accordingly!"

……

The country of grass garrisons the big battalion.

The Uchiha Deguang banner was victorious, and the squad was triumphant, and then he vigorously reorganized the ninja army, and exercised the cooperation and tacit understanding of all parts of the ninja army, in order to strengthen the combat capability in the shortest possible time.

As for the mountain castle in the north of the country of grass, only a small number of reconnaissance troops were hidden outside the city. to maintain the flow of information in the north.

After the news of the destruction of the advance force spread that Iwakure was heading south, perhaps because he couldn't figure out Konoha's intentions for the time being, he camped on the border of the land country and set up fortification traps, as if Iwakure was sticking to the border.

Records are the most powerful voice to speak.

Uchiha Tokumitsu commanded the ninja army to victory in battle, making his prestige in the army even stronger.

Now, the proud Uchiha, in the eyes of the civilian ninjas of the border defense force, has also become a powerful and reliable partner, although this partner has a rather awkward personality, but it is surprisingly reliable on the battlefield.

Since returning to the camp, Uchiha Tokumitsu has handed over the general affairs to Uchiha Homon and Nara Kohei respectively, and he is only responsible for the formation training of the ninja army, as for the captured Iwakure captives, they were banned and thrown into a temporary prison after being hypnotized by the writing wheel eye and easily pulling out the information in their minds.

In addition to training, Uchiha Tokumitsu did not forget to win over the grass ninja, and from time to time released special tasks for the grass ninjas to carry out, this move is nothing else, that is, to spend money to let the grass ninjas and Iwakure create a blood feud, try to block the duplicitous behavior of the grass on the wall of the grass ninja village, intending to tie the grass ninja village to the Uchiha's chariot.

And Iwakuin, after the battle of the mountain castle in the north stopped for about half a month, he began to send combat teams to infiltrate the country of grass for intelligence reconnaissance and sabotage.

And Uchiha Tokumitsu's response method is to issue a mission to Kusanobi Village to clear the infiltration team of Iwakure.

"These grass ninjas, their strength is really bad......"

Nara Kohei approved the document in the Chinese army's big account, and the information about the grass ninja was summarized and reported.

According to statistics, in the implementation of the tasks promulgated by the Konoha garrison battalion, the ninjas of the same level in the country of grass are significantly weaker than the ninjas of Iwain Village, and in the battle report, it often takes six to nine grass ninjas of the same level to surround in order to defeat a ninja of Iwakure, even if the people sent by Iwakuin to enter the country of grass for secret reconnaissance are elites, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it is really stretched.

"There is indeed a big difference between a big country ninja and a small country wave ninja." Uchiha Tokumitsu, who returned from training, walked into the Chinese army's big tent.

"Tokuguang Conductor~"

The staff in the big tent of the Chinese army greeted Uchiha Tokumitsu one after another.

"Hmm~" Uchiha Tokura replied with a bare chin.

"If the grass ninja has the strength of the rain ninja, then the war of the three great powers of fire, earth and wind should be fought in the country of grass."

Although there are many contradictions between the five major countries and the five ninja villages, there is a tacit consensus on suppressing small countries.

"Commander Tokumitsu, the village's envoy is expected to arrive in the afternoon, and I hope you can spare time to ...... by then," Nara Kohei said in a low voice.

"I know, I've already read the Ninja Eagle Story." Uchiha Tokumitsu paused, "I'm also in the camp in the afternoon. ”
