Chapter 103: Accept it when you see it
Chiyo of Sunagakure is the second high-ranking person of the Great Ninja Village to be killed by Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige led by mobile forces after the Battle of Vortex Hidden Village.
Such a credit is certainly fruitful, but it also has endless troubles.
Offending a big ninja village, it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of assassinations coming to the door in the future, but Hachiki Shuomao has superior strength, and Uchiha Tokumitsu has family power, so he doesn't have much to worry about this.
It's just that from now on, if Konoha F4 does something like letting Uchiha Tokumitsu or Hagi Sakumo send out the Fog Hidden Ninja Village or Sand Hidden Ninja Village, it would be better to rebel directly on the spot.
After Chiyo was killed in battle, the leaderless Sand Hidden Shinobi chose to temporarily retreat back to the camp.
It's not because the Sand Hidden Ninja Army was defeated immediately after losing its commander like the Misty Hidden Gang of Loose Sands, but because the shinobi of their various departments couldn't estimate how many Konoha Ninja troops came to help.
The retreat of the Sand Hidden Ninja Army was orderly.
Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige only symbolically feinted for a while before returning to the battlefield, and after collecting the bodies of their own dead ninjas, they also led their troops to retreat.
In this battle, the Tokumitsu Red Reserve team under the command of Uchiha Tokumitsu also suffered heavy losses.
Of the 260 Uchiha ninjas of the two teams that participated in the battle, 49 people were directly killed in this battle, nearly 20% of the battle losses were lost, and more than 50 Uchiha were wounded.
This made Uchiha Tokumitsu feel terrible.
This is all directly his own team!
Since the Northwest Frontier Defense Force in the Land of Grass, there have been many rounds of battles such as Iwakure, Vortex, and Rain Country, and the most Uchiha people have died in this battle.
That's more than all the previous battles combined!
It's no wonder that during the First Ninja War, the Thousand Hands Clan, who were originally the first wealthy ninja clan, were able to exhaust their young and strong strength.
War is indeed a merciless meat grinder.
Whether it is a commoner or a wealthy family, in the quagmire of war, it is inevitable to suffer from calamity.
But fortunately, the ninja army that fought was all from the Uchiha clan.
As the most warlike of the people, the Uchiha do not reject war and death, especially during the battle, they tend not to pay much attention to other than their close teammates and the enemies in front of them, and are all focused on killing enemies and finding new enemies.
Therefore, even after enduring a high battle loss ratio of nearly 20 percent, the Uchiha in the battle still maintained a strong desire to fight, and continued to carry out a bloody battle with Sha Yin to the death.
"Deguang-kun, why don't you retreat......"
The mood of the Uchiha of the Red Reserve Team was a little low, and Sakumo Hagi also saw it.
"Sooner later......" Uchiha Tokumitsu sat down on the ground with a tired face, "Organize another raid on the camp tonight, and then retreat overnight......"
"But, tonight...... It's impossible for Sha Yin to let his guard down......"
Qimu Shuomao was a little puzzled.
"I know...... It's because they haven't let their guard down that they're going to put on a show......"
"Acting?"
"Harass the sand and make the sand think that we are still planning to continue the fight to the death, so that we can evacuate the battlefield more smoothly......" Uchiha Tokumitsu squinted his eyes slightly, "So, the attack on the camp is just a cover, and there is no need to achieve any results at all, as long as we show our faces in front of the heavily guarded Sand Cakure......"
"You're right!" Hachiki Sakumo understood what Uchiha Tokumitsu meant, "Then I'll be in charge of this matter, you can rest for a while, and then prepare for the retreat." ”
"No problem, I'm sorry for you. Shuo Maojun. ”
……
That night, after a fanfare and unsuccessful night attack on the sand hide, the Uchiha Tokumitsu led the Red Reserve to retreat overnight, completely breaking off contact with the Sand Hidden Ninja Army.
At the same time, the battle report was also sent to the Western Border Defense Force and the Rain Country Dispatch Force Command Center.
"Kill Chiyo and annihilate nearly 800 people in the sand......"
In the big tent of the dispatched army, Qiu Dao took the wind and was amazed while reading the battle report.
Although there may be a lot of water in the number of enemies annihilated, it is an incomparably solid feat.
"It seems that Hagi Sakushige's plan to win over the leader of the upper ninja class basically has a basis for competition......" said a middle-aged ninja with the Nara family's iconic pill head under the Akido Wind Seat.
"Lu Pingjun, you are wrong." Qiu Dao Qiu Feng smiled and shook his head, "Shuo Mao's merits, he could have been promoted to the leader of the upper ninja class a long time ago." ”
"Really?"
Nara Lu replied flatly.
"Have you forgotten the Misty Hidden Yuan Master?"
"It's just that in the Battle of the Vortex Tide, the Uchiha's involvement was too deep, and Hizashi had to suppress Shimo." Autumn Dao said with some emotion: "But this time, I want to see what else he can do!" ”
"Lord Wind, after all, the leader of the upper ninja class has always been in the hands of our three clans......
Nara Shikahei expressed his opinion tactfully.
Although because he is a personal ninja who takes the wind of Autumn Road, even the direct family of the Nara clan has been left out in the cold for more than ten years, but after all, he was born in the Nara clan, and he can't sit back and watch the interests of the family suffer.
"Since the three clans of Pig, Deer and Butterfly don't have enough strength, does it make any difference whether the position of the ninja class is controlled by the Hokage or in the hands of Shuo Mao?"
Akido did not regard the position of the shinobi class as his own bag in his words, like Nara Shikahei, but brought out the influence of the Hokage.
Nara Shikhei is also a smart person, so he naturally understands the meaning of the autumn road.
Although the leader of the upper ninja class is the upper ninja of the Nara clan, this is all thanks to the support from the Hokage Building, otherwise, the Nara clan, which is only known for its intelligence, will not be able to suppress the unruly upper ninjas below.
In this case, in the face of Qimu Shuomao, who has great merit and is the leader of the ninja squad, whether to fight or let it become a big problem.
Jean, not only did the family's interests suffer, but it also gave the Hokage an opinion about the Nara family.
Fight...... What's the fight?
Not to mention the high prestige of Hagi Shiroshige among the upper ninjas, even the Uchiha clan who support Hagi Sorgeru is not something that the Nara family alone can contend with.
As allies for thousands of years, the three clans of Pig, Deer and Butterfly have been seeking to advance and retreat together, and now that Autumn Road has made a choice, how should the Nara family choose?
Thinking of this, Nara Shikpei couldn't help but sigh.
"Lu Pingjun, don't be discouraged...... Akido also saw Nara Luping's dejected appearance, so he persuaded him: "The position of the leader of the upper ninja class is not so easy to fall into the hands of Shuo Mao, and this time is enough for the Nara family to deal with." ”
"Lord Fufeng, didn't you support Shuo Mao's candidacy for the head of the upper ninja class?"
Rao is known for his intelligence and strategy, and he is also a little confused at this time.
"I'll only vote for Shuo Mao when I vote in the ninja class, and the rest has nothing to do with me." Akido said with a smile, "Moreover, we are all already marginalized people, why do we think so much?" ”
Marginalized ......
Nara Shikpei sighed again.
"I see, does Lord Tak Feng need to eat now? I'll arrange for someone to prepare. ”
"Let's prepare some barbecue, I feel like I'm in a good mood today."
Akido Tokufu continued to read the battle report jointly sent by Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hagi Sakushige, as if he wanted to see the flowers.
"Okay."
Nara Shikahei got up and left.
Just as the curtain of the tent door was lifted, Qiu Dao took the wind and said another word.
"Don't prepare too much...... Just take it when you see it. ”
"If you see it, you will take ......"
Nara Shikappi pondered this word that seemed to mean something in his heart as he left to arrange dinner.
……
"Withdraw the troops, there is no point in fighting any longer, just take it when you see it......"
In the southern region of the Land of Rain, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade gathered together to discuss the next stage of military affairs.
Tsunade, who finished reading the battle report, said so tastelessly.
In the battle with Sha Yin, her boyfriend Kato Break, who had just established a relationship, was attacked by Sha Yin in a battle, although he was lucky to survive because of the timely rescue, but his abdomen and internal organs were attacked and hemorrhaged, and he had to be sent back to Konoha Hospital in better conditions for maintenance after receiving emergency treatment.
At this time, although Tsunade is in the Land of Rain, his heart has already flown back to Konoha with his lover.
Coupled with the amazing results achieved by Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige, the three of them did not have much confidence to overpower them.
It's really boring to continue fighting with Sha Yin.
"Retreat."
Jiraiya naturally agreed to Tsunade's proposal, even if he learned that the white moonlight Tsunade Ji in his heart had gotten along with others, he still couldn't let go of his previous dog-licking style.
Besides, the Land of Rain, where it rains heavily almost all the time, is really boring, not only is there no izakaya, but there are also no hot springs, and the great writer has not been to collect materials for a long time.
Orochimaru didn't respond, just read the battle report over and over again.
"The Uchiha clan is really willing to sacrifice their blood to support Shuo Shigeru to take the throne......"
After a while, Orochimaru put down the battle report: "I thought that proud clan couldn't do things that sacrificing themselves." ”
"That kid ......," Tsunade said with a straight face, "Uchiha Tokumitsu, it should be his decision...... He's a little different from the other Uchiha. ”
"Indeed...... The traditional Uchiha doesn't have as many fancy bowels as he has. ”
Jilai also agreed.
"Sha Yin is already shrinking the front, do we still have to take the initiative to withdraw our troops?"
Although he knew that the two partners' opinions were right, and that there was no benefit from continuing to fight a non-profitable war in the Land of Rain except for adding killing, Orochimaru was still a little unwilling.
"If you see it, you will take ......"
Tsunade lowered his head and continued to emphasize his point.
"It seems that Shuo Mao's predecessor's position as the leader of the upper ninja class is really stable this time......"
Since Tsunade has no desire to continue fighting, Orochimaru will not repeat his opinion.
"How about disengaging with Sha Yin tomorrow and gradually retreating the day after tomorrow?"
Tsunade and Jiraiya have no opinion.
After chatting for a while, the two took their leave.
Orochimaru, who was sitting alone in the tent, suddenly turned gloomy, and then picked up the battle report and read it again.
According to Tuan Zang's opinion, Ape Fei Ri Slash naturally also has a secret letter to hand over to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru did intend to follow the teacher's instructions and make a bad deal for Uchiha Tokumitsu.
Everything was being deployed according to plan, but the only thing I didn't expect was that Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige in the Kawanokuni battlefield actually achieved a phased victory in such a short period of time, and immediately retreated from the battle, and the plan to lead the south of the disaster naturally came to naught.
"Uchiha ......"
