It can be said that among this group of rock ninjas after the break, only a few of them are intact. The vast majority of them have suffered varying degrees of injuries. The most serious one among them is naturally the five-tailed jinchūriki Han, who was killed by Jiraiya.
In a battle that was suppressed on all fronts, Han only lasted for less than half an hour and was already scarred.
That is to say, jinchūriki are generally very durable, and their self-repair ability is several levels better than that of ordinary ninjas. Otherwise, if it were replaced by an ordinary ninja, the game would have been over already. Han can persist until the general arrives, and he will cooperate even more later.
The general used the Tailed Beast Jade to forcefully clear an area and cover the retreat of his companions, which is enough to be praised.
Because of this, Han has almost lost his combat ability. He must take a good rest in the next few days, let alone transform into a tailed beast again. In Han's current state, any jounin can probably bully him!
Huangtu also suffered some minor injuries in the siege of that group of Konoha ninjas, but fortunately there were no real top-notch jounin among them. Otherwise, Huangtu would not have been able to escape so easily. Although Shoji said that he did not suffer any injuries
There were obvious external or internal injuries, but the chakra and mental consumption was very serious.
The most important point is that Susana's wanton squandering and the art of building the imperial capital once again made the Shoji's kaleidoscope power consumed in this war almost comparable to the total of the past. Unlike before, it was just
His vision was only slightly blurred. After this battle, Shoji could clearly feel that his vision had deteriorated somewhat seriously.
A battle of this intensity, if not more, if it happens just one or two more times, Shoji will probably go completely blind!
Although Kaleidoscope is powerful, without any means to supplement pupil power, and without being promoted to the Eternal Eye, the side effect restrictions are still very heavy!
Just arrived at the base.
There was a moment of trance in front of the eyes, and the general stumbled subconsciously, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, Loess in front of him had quick eyes and hands to help the general.
"Shogun? What's wrong? Could it be that Jiraiya from Konoha was seriously injured just now!?"
Huang Tu asked with a hint of worry.
After all, in the previous battles, they were far apart from each other. Loess himself was also trapped in the siege of Konoha ninjas. It was difficult to see clearly what happened to Shoji. He thought that in the previous collision, Shoji was the same as Han.
He was severely wounded by that Konoha hero.
"No, it's nothing, Loessus-san. It's just that the chakra consumption was a bit excessive, and then Susan was used for too long, which made the mental fatigue a little heavier."
Shoji took a deep breath, stood up straight again, then shook his head slightly, forced a smile and said.
Even though he already has great trust in the Third Tsuchikage and Huangtu, but when it comes to the top secrets of the Uchiha clan, Shoji must not tell them lightly. Moreover, if he really tells it, Huangtu will have to doubt himself. After all, he is enduring it.
In the world, it is impossible for any ninja clan to tell the secrets of their own clan to others outside the clan.
Seeing Jiang Si's non-faithful look, and seeing that Huang Tu had indeed not sensed that Jiang Si was injured, he immediately relaxed his brows, nodded lightly and said, "That's good, you can have a good rest in the next few days.
, since the Konoha side has not continued to send troops to pursue us, it is obvious that they intend to stop at the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold!"
"Um!"
The general also nodded slightly and replied.
Although the war will not end here, the relationship between Konoha and Iwagakure is still very tense, but it is obvious that as long as the Iwagakure side retreats a little, it will be difficult for the two major ninja villages to break out in another war.
Even though Konoha seems to have stabilized Kumogakure Village, the thousands of troops of Kumo Ninja are actually present in the area of Yu Country near the border of Fire Country, not to mention, there are also the Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki and the Fourth Raid.
With the presence of these two ruthless Kage, Konoha will really be at ease and not care about Kumo Ninja's side if his brain is damaged. Although Konoha currently has the upper hand on the Western Front battlefield, if he really becomes determined and leads the army to station
In the Country of Grass, it would be possible to further intimidate or even severely injure the Iwa Ninja, but that would definitely allow the Kumo Ninja to reap the benefits easily.
Not to mention that Nara Shikaku and Jiraiya would not make such unreliable judgments, not even Konoha F4 could be so unreliable.
That would no longer be a so-called decision-making error, but a problem with the brain. If it weren’t for the fact that the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold is indeed important, and we really need to worry about the pressure from the Fire Nation’s official level, and whether Konoha is really
He needs a big victory to stabilize his mentality and also to frighten the hostile forces in his own ninja village.
Otherwise, Shikakuzu might not have suggested that Jiraiya really initiate this battle to retake the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold. In the final analysis, everything was forced by form. Now that the situation has finally eased, Konoha can regain control of part of it.
of dominance.
They will only make more prudent decisions, rather than engage in military adventurism!
And to put it a step back, if Konoha really dares to take a risk and invade the Country of Grass, then Iwagakure Village will warmly welcome it!
It's one thing to be a coward in the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold, but it's another thing to be a coward in the Country of Grass. This is not just about the fact that the Country of Grass already belongs to the Yanyin Village and has decided to eat it.
What's more, the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold needs to be evacuated because once Yanyin Village decides to fight a decisive battle within the Kingdom of Fire, it will inevitably deploy heavy troops in two areas. It is impossible for the Kingdom of Grass to completely empty its troops. If that is the case, it will not be possible.
Ye can definitely use roundabout tactics, in which case the Yanyin Village side will be very uncomfortable.
Now that the battlefield is returned to the Land of Grass, the Iwa Ninja can further gather heavy troops. It is completely worthwhile to fight for this, unless you Konoha have the ability and the courage to fight with their main Iwa Ninja here.
While fighting, they continued to send troops to bypass the Kingdom of Grass and enter the hinterland of the Kingdom of Earth. To put it bluntly, if Konoha really had such confidence and courage, this war would never have developed to this point.
.
Loess and the generals can boldly confirm that Konoha's pursuers will stop at the stronghold of Wuyuan Mountain, and the next step is to enter the "love to hear and see" part of the war of words. Anyway, the war relationship cannot end so easily.
Moreover, there is another important role in the Three Kingdoms dispute - Yunyin Village has always been in a movie-watching mode. It is full of benefits and has not paid any price. This is what makes Yan, headed by Loess, General Si
My teeth are itching from the anger!
But no matter how angry they are, it is their own fault, but they have learned a lesson from the experience. The next action will definitely be to avoid rabbits and eagles!
But those are all things for later. The next thing Iwa Ninja needs to do most is to take a good rest, and then run the country of Grass that has just been acquired and has not been popular for a long time. Not to mention other things, the grass hidden village inside alone is a
The big problem is that it is impossible to destroy it, but how to use it effectively will be the next biggest test for Iwagakure Village, or to be more precise, the biggest test for the Third Tsuchikage!
The second battle for the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold.
The war ended with Konoha's victory, but in this war, Konoha also suffered a lot of casualties. The number of people who died in the battle alone was close to two thousand people, and there were countless people who were seriously injured and minor injuries.
However, if these costs can be exchanged for repelling the invasion of the Iwa Ninja side, then it is worth it. Regardless of whether the Iwa Ninja side took the initiative to retreat, at least from the scene, it seems that the Konoha side won the final defensive battle.
, even if an expert can see the total loss of the Land of Grass, it is indeed a heavy loss for Konoha.
But after all, there are only a few experts, including the top politicians of the Fire Country. The nobles only saw that the Iwa Ninja Legion was successfully repelled, and the lost Wuyuan Mountain stronghold was recaptured in less than half a month.
A fact!
These people are like this, let alone the people at the bottom. They will only feel that their ninja village has won another victory, and other invisible things are either really invisible or simply ignored.
Specific to the Hidden Leaf Village, Hiruzen Sarutobi was of course very aware of how high the price his Ninja Village had paid in this war, but the surface engineering still needed to be maintained. The Third Hokage was the one who heard the news from the border.
At that moment, he shamelessly declared within the village that his ninja village had once again won the war.
Apart from anything else, this news really calmed down the atmosphere in the village. Iwagakure Village was defeated by its own ninja village again. There is only one Kumogakure Village left. What is there to be afraid of? And compared with
Iwagakure Village somehow invaded the Fire Country.
The main force of Yunyin Village has always been 'blocked' by its own ninja army in the Yuno Country area. The thinking of ordinary people is so simple and naive, but many times what the rulers need most is the people like this.
A kind of 'ignorant thinking'!
This makes it easier for them to do special things.
Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen is still a sober and rational man. The expulsion of the Iwagakure army does not mean that the war with Iwagakure Village is over. The remaining troops, plus the troops that were originally dispatched,
There are still five thousand garrison troops in the Country of Grass. If this force does not retreat for one day, the war will not really come to an end.
Not to mention that there are cloud ninjas in the northeast who are watching with eager eyes!
It can only be said that this victory has given Konoha a little more confidence, allowing Sarutobi Hiruzen to more calmly carry out the next actions, such as restarting negotiations with Iwagakure Village. Sarutobi Hiruzen believes that even if the Uchiha clan surpasses
It is expected that he will gain an unusually important position in Iwagakure Village, but that third-generation Tsuchikage cannot be so paranoid!
At this critical moment after the victory, he took the initiative to restart negotiations. Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that the Third Tsuchikage would not refuse. At most, it would be enough to compensate him with some other interests!
Anyway, ending the war as soon as possible is the most important thing.
Including Yun Ninja's side also needs to readjust its strategy.
Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately called for his most trusted friend—Mito Kadoen.
"Do you mean that we should take the initiative to restart negotiations with Iwagakure Village? Wouldn't this seem a bit too direct?"
As a conservative leader.
Mito Kamon also did not resist negotiating with Iwakakure, but at this point in time, Mito Kamon felt that there was still some room for discussion.
"No, now is the right time. As long as we take a step back, the Iwa Ninja side must be willing to end the war. Since the war started, the Iwa Ninja have suffered a lot of losses. The most important thing is that the Kumo Ninja has always been in a spectator position.
, the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village definitely doesn’t want to continue to see Kumo ninja watching a show on the sidelines, while they are fighting with us, as long as we recognize all their interests in the Country of Grass and share in the mission
, with a little compensation in terms of supplies, I believe the possibility of ending the war is still very high!"
It must be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen is worthy of being Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The previous battle was really forced by the situation. As long as the core interests of the village can be ensured, other things can be negotiated by Sarutobi Hiruzen. It is not a big problem for his own Ninja Village to suffer a slight loss. Anyway, there is no Ninja hero anymore.
The Third Hokage, who has a strong heart, only thinks about stabilizing the situation, and peaceful development is his greatest wish.
Taking the initiative to send a peace signal to the Iwa Ninja side when they clearly have the upper hand on the battlefield is really in line with the style of the Third Hokage.
"Do you want to give up all the interests of the Country of Grass? Can we fight for it at the border? Refer to the Country of Yu."
Although he is a conservative leader, Mito Kaden still feels a little unhappy about his own Ninja Village's behavior of making too much concessions, and if he puts himself in his shoes, if the Country of Grass completely falls into the sphere of influence of the Iwagakure Village,
, if the conflict breaks out again between the two major ninja villages in the future, the war will ignite directly on the border of the Land of Fire, and the national defense pressure that will be required will be far greater than before.
"No, I'm afraid Iwagakure will not agree to this. According to the information transmitted by the ANBU, the third Tsuchikage seems to have personally led the ANBU directly under him to set off for the Country of Grass. Fortunately, Iwagakure did not
Further mobilization, but this is already a very dangerous signal. We cannot continue to waste our energy like this. The Northeast is an extremely unstable and dangerous factor after all. We must resolve the Western Front battlefield as soon as possible so that our entire focus can be shifted to
The Northeastern Front is the most important!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked solemn and shook his head.
"What? That Tententsubo Onoki personally came to the front line of Grass Country?"
Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Mito Kado's pupils shrank suddenly. As the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village who is his contemporary, Mito Kado was lucky enough to have a confrontation with him once when he was young.
, that time, Onoki, who had already initially mastered Dust Release and entered the Kage level, directly seriously injured Mito Gate. If it were not for the support of Koharu who transferred to the dormitory, and the cover of other Konoha ninjas, Mito Gate
Yan probably has to confess directly there.
Therefore, Mito Kabuto had a deep impression on the Third Tsuchikage.
Although Onoki is a little older than them, and his personal strength is definitely not as good as when he was in his prime, the destructive power of the dust escape, and Onoki's ability to freely use the light and heavy rock techniques to fly high in the sky, still make it difficult for him to do so.
The intimidating power of this Third Tsuchikage is still at a very high level.
The film went to the front line in person. This is indeed a very clear and dangerous signal. If it is not handled well, who knows what will happen next. In many cases, you must not use your so-called common sense to measure other people's judgments.
For example, my good friend Shimura Danzo would always do some stupid things at certain moments that shocked them and even made them confused!
"Then we really can't delay it any longer. I understand what you mean, Hiruzen, leave the negotiations on Iwa Ninja's side to me. I will try my best to facilitate truce negotiations between the two parties!"
Mito Gate, who realized the seriousness of the problem, also nodded heavily and said in a very serious tone.
"Well, then I'll leave it to you, Yan!"
"Don't worry, Hiruzen!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen would not think that this was a sign of cowardice. In the eyes of the Third Hokage, this was the measure a leader should have, and it was a necessary choice to endure in the unstable period of the village, to endure the calm for a while,
Taking a step back, the sky is brighter, this is the governing philosophy that Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks is most suitable for his village at present.
The agreement reached immediately needs to be conveyed and implemented strategies. Koharu, who is transferred to his bed, naturally agrees. Of course Danzo Shimura disagrees 100%, but his disagreement is of no use. He is already semi-detained, and even more
Danzo Shimura, who had lost his power to lead, was only qualified to participate in high-level meetings and have the right to know some information.
Anyway, Sarutobi Hiruzen has made up his mind. At least for this period of time, he wants to let his close friend calm down. It is certain that he will be released. There is a high probability that the root will be handed over to Danzo again, but it is definitely not now.
, Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer wants to see more unexpected situations occur!
The Third Hokage still hopes that after this lesson, Danzo can be a little more rational, at least not to do such outrageous things again.
Of course, this is very likely to be Sarutobi Hiruzen's wishful thinking. After all, what kind of person Shimura Danzo is has been fully demonstrated in the original work.
Not to mention Konoha's renewed diplomatic actions under the orders of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, the outside world also caused quite a stir due to the different results of the second battle for the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold.
The most direct manifestation is Sunagakure Village in the southern region, and Kusagakure Village in the Country of Grass. Of these two ninja villages, one plans to retake their northern fortress, and the other plans to take this opportunity to get rid of Iwagakure Village.
Control, at least, must return to the pre-war pattern.
During the period when a large number of Iwa Ninjas were stationed in the Country of Grass, the Grass Ninjas truly experienced what it means to live a life that is restricted in all aspects. When big countries clashed, small countries suffered, but when the two big countries were in balance, the small countries were more or less still alive.
With a little autonomy, once one company becomes dominant, the neighboring small countries will definitely be the most unlucky.
