The two sides fought for more than a month, and both sides held quite a few prisoners.
Tsunade and Ino had previously argued that when Konoha ninjas were at the end of their rope and surrounded, they could be captured without fighting to the death, tortured, or reveal village information. This was normal. It was the incompetence of our commanders that allowed them to
If you are captured, the village will find a way to rescue you later.
The Kumogakure ninjas were relatively strong-willed and would rather break than bend, so relatively few ninjas were captured. However, this time the Kirigakure ninjas led by Kwonbei were captured in the hundreds. Counting both sides together, the number of prisoners was almost the same.
Danzo also sent news from behind that some of his root ninjas were also captured, hoping that the village would come forward and bring the captives back.
Jiraiya used the red gourd. No matter what the original reason was, the root ninja was part of the Konoha ninja. He was captured during the mission and could not turn a blind eye due to emotion or reason.
Finally, the two sides agreed to exchange prisoners.
All three parties were very careful and there were no mistakes in the exchange of prisoners of war.
Kirigakure got back the bodies of Gonbei and Nakayoshi, Kumogakure brought back the captured ninjas, and Konoha also welcomed back a group of ninjas including Sakai.
Sawai was secretly picked up by Yamafusa. It was Ino's fault in this regard. She turned a blind eye and let Shanzhong take away the root ninjas including Sawai. Jiraiya and
Tsunade knew about this and also acquiesced to this method of handling it.
It's just a stinking shit at the root, and it's not appropriate for too many Konoha ninjas to know about it.
The Fourth Raikage went to the Kirigakure camp alone to apologize, saying that I have released all your children, old, young, women and children. If you are worried about the situation at home, you can withdraw from the war now.
Under his mediation, the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Water have also ceased war. The Kingdom of Thunder, which had the upper hand, symbolically ceded an island at the northern end of the East China Sea to the Kingdom of Water, and the two countries formally formed an alliance.
Terumi Mei was so angry that she was vomiting blood and was forced to go to war. What else could she do? Should she go to Konoha to form an alliance again? There was only one way to go.
She wanted to continue fighting, no matter what, there must be at least a result.
However, Kirigakure ninjas are worried about their wives and children at home. Even Zabuza, who is full of murderous intentions, is worried about Haku's safety and is unwilling to continue fighting against Konoha ninjas in the Country of Yu.
The system of Ninja Village is just a military mercenary organization. It has no feelings of family and country. You can't ask ordinary Kirigakure ninjas to have a high strategic vision.
If you win, you fight, if you don't win, you run away. Rebels abound. The proportion of Kirigakure ninjas who rebel against villages is second only to Konoha. It has almost become a tradition.
If Terumi Mei presses hard, a few rebels will immediately jump out of the village, and the lower ones will defeat the upper ones. Can you understand?
Her wife and children at home are more important than anything else. Terumi Mei was helpless. She wanted to continue fighting, but it was hard to go against the will of the people and she had no choice but to retreat.
The Konoha ninjas withdrew from the Kingdom of Frost, regrouped, and immediately decided to open a third front.
Fight against Kirigakure! This time, not to mention Danzo, who has always been a hawk, even Koharu and Mito Kabuto who have moved to another dormitory have chosen to support him. Fight, we must fight!
Jiraiya quickly made adjustments, and he and Tsunade resisted the attack of Cloud Hidden Village.
It is unrealistic for the remaining manpower to fight against Kirigakure and destroy Kirigakure Village, but they will have to pay a heavy price.
There are too many water-bending ninjas in Kirigakure, and Ino is very advantageous in this aspect, and she is particularly good at breaking up houses, and is already a well-known house-breaking expert in the ninja world.
As long as Ino goes over and puts two ninjutsu in the center of Kirigakure, Kirigakure will not be able to recover in less than ten years. Sunagakure Village has a strong say in this aspect.
Two thousand people were mobilized from the Eastern Front, one thousand were mobilized from the Western Front, and another thousand were mobilized from the village. Counting all the ninjas who were not seriously injured on the two fronts, a total of 5,000 ninjas were handed over to Ino, and she was asked to lead the army to pursue the Kirigakure ninja.
By.
A large number of family ninjas, including Ino Lu Die, were all taken away by her.
In the same way, Aburame Muta and other special jounin also set off together.
The Ninja World War is not something you can just retreat. Whether it is morality or people's hearts, Kirigakure's betrayal of the alliance will do great harm to Konoha. Kakashi on the Western Front rejected the Sunagakure ninja's request to join the war. No need.
Just being patient and staying there is the greatest help.
The crowd was excited, and Ino led the army to the seaside port.
When the Kirigakure ninjas retreated, they collected all the ships in the coastal area.
Want to tread water and run to Kirigakure Village in one breath? That’s not realistic.
Ships are still needed.
Nothing to say, ship building! Expedition to Kirigakure Village!
The Fire Country and Konoha both sent large sums of money, but Ino didn't feel bad about using other people's money and called his cross union to build the ship together.
Anyway, the technical content of ships these days is not very high, and carpenters who can build houses can also help build ships.
Businessmen and guilds from some surrounding small countries heard the news and joined the feast one after another.
Even the ancestors and grandsons of Dazuna and Yin from the Land of Waves came with villagers to take over the work.
Ino made a "small" profit from it, and she only had one requirement, and that was to be quick!
The ninjas under his command were also searching for ships everywhere.
Ino used the ruins of the former Uzumaki Country as a base to build ships on a large scale.
When her military strength was insufficient, she hired pirates, wandering ninjas, samurai and ninja monks to join the war.
Following Foxconn's approach, money will be paid upon arrival, including a basic salary, bonuses, commissions, and subsidies at the end of the month. What stands out is the word "Hao".
Two months later, during the Thousand Sails Competition, Ino left a thousand ninjas to guard the port, and led four thousand Konoha ninjas and more than 7,000 miscellaneous troops to set out, known as the 30,000 ninjas, on a cross-sea expedition to Kirigakure Village.
...
Kirigakure Village.
Terumi Mei excitedly brought her own ninjas to help in the battle, hoping to get a share of the pie after the war, but was forced to jump back. Afterwards, Kumogakure released the hostages with great gestures, and the Kirigakure ninjas shouted to go home.
When we got home, the crisis was resolved. Some people felt that this trip was too embarrassing, so they started to blame her again, and all kinds of big blame were placed on her, the water shadow.
She is the one who wants to form an alliance, she is the one who betrays the alliance, she is the one who actively participates in the war, and it seems she is the one who is actively retreating.
The subordinates were not at fault, and all the blame was placed on her.
Some people think that she has brought shame to Kirigakure Village and want her to step down and select a new Mizukage. Terumi Mei is tougher than expected. Retire? Yes, but definitely not now.
Ino is working hard to build a ship and prepare to attack Kirigakure. I retreat, can you guys stop her?
Anyway, the reputation is already bad, it doesn't matter if it gets worse.
Terumi Mei changed her previous gentle approach and appointed Zabuza Momochi as the squad leader of the ANBU class in the name of the Fifth Mizukage.
Ai and Gonbei, two of Yuanshi's closest confidants, were appointed as advisors. They were not promoted openly and secretly, but they did not have much actual power.
Chojuro, Haku, and Kito Suigetsu were all promoted to Jonin and formed their own teams respectively.
At the same time, she sent people to find Riki Yugao, the Vulpix-Tailed Jinchu who had been away from the village for many years. She even sent people to contact Gan Kaki Onikao. If you are willing to come back, all your previous sins will be wiped out.
