After Xili defeated Darui's team, Kumo ninja Jonin Shimomura Hito escaped alone like a rat crossing the street.
He was discovered by the Konoha reconnaissance team and ran away like crazy.
Finally, he escaped back to the Kumo Ninja camp with serious injuries and was still alive. At this time, the news of the death of Darui and others reached the ears of Raikage!
boom!
With the huge force, a good wooden table shattered with a sound, exploding directly from the middle, sawdust scattered everywhere, and the wooden table was directly smashed into two large pieces.
"Darui!!"
"Nut-headed brat? Didn't that guy die more than a year ago?"
Thinking of Xili's appearance, Lei Ying's brows furrowed even deeper.
That guy is a monster that won't do anything if he was hit in the face!
"It's probably a false alarm from Konoha. After all, no body was found at that time."
Mabuyi analyzed.
"asshole!"
The Raikage rushed out of the main tent angrily, looking at the sky in the southwest with a gloomy face, that direction was the direction of the Konoha camp.
Since the war started, he had never imagined that it would be like this.
The number of ninjas increased from thousands to tens of thousands, and the battle lasted for nearly two years. Large-scale battles broke out more than ten times, but they never broke through Konoha's defense line.
Konoha should be decadent after losing the Sannin, and weak after losing the Fourth Hokage.
Why!
Why exactly!
"Darui, you made your promise to me!"
Lei Ying gritted his teeth and growled.
When Raikage first planned to send people to cause trouble in the Land of Fire, he did not choose Darui, but another Yozuki Jonin.
It was Darui who came to him personally and took the initiative to carry out this mission.
The effect some time ago was very good. It not only caused the Fire Country to be in a state of chaos, but also led several Anbu forces to run around in Konoha.
In such a tense period when a decisive battle is imminent, it is very crucial to contain even two or three ANBU teams in Konoha.
Because this is not just a matter of containing the number of ANBU ninjas, but more importantly, attracting the attention of Konoha.
"Lord Raikage, the seventh letter has been sent by the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder."
Secretary Mabuyi held the folder and chased him out of the main account, saying with a serious face.
Since half a year ago, which was the fourteenth month since the war between Kumo Ninja and Konoha, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder had sent letters asking the Raikage to end the war as soon as possible.
Regardless of victory or defeat, there is no need to continue the war this time.
Because the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder did not want to continue to bear such huge military expenditures.
As the saying goes, a cannon is worth a thousand taels of gold.
The war is consuming the domestic economy. If Yunyin Village can win, it will be okay. After the war, it can make up for it and even plunder more resources.
But after fighting for more than a year, the cloud ninjas were not seen pushing the front into the Kingdom of Fire.
The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder could not sit still.
Although Yunyin Village has a certain degree of self-sufficiency, most of its finances still rely on his name.
"Send him a reply and tell him that the fighting will be over within the next month."
Lei Ying said angrily.
The original plan was to start the war for three months, push the front into the Country of Fire, and occupy the northeastern coast of the Country of Fire.
But reality is often much crueler than dreams.
Not to mention three months, it was their Kumo ninja who suffered the loss after fighting for half a year.
It was not until the follow-up troop strength increased to 10,000 that they took advantage of the fact that Konoha's reinforcements had not arrived and made a time lag to overwhelm them and make a small profit.
At that time, Raikage knew that this war was not that easy to win.
But he just couldn't take this breath.
In the first wave of fighting, Kumo Ninja directly lost three elite squadrons, while Konoha only lost a rear medical unit camp!
As soon as the wave came up, Raikage and Uchiha Fugaku were fighting.
This fight lasted for nearly two years!
"The battle will end within a month? Does Raikage-sama plan to launch a general attack?"
As Raikage's secretary, Mabuyi has a lot of information in her hands.
She knew that the failure to push the front into the Fire Country in the first three months meant that it was impossible for them to achieve great success in this war.
Konoha is still Konoha without the Sannin, and Konoha is still Konoha without the Fourth Hokage.
She just hoped that Raikage would not lose his mind because of Darui's death.
"Send a message back to Yunyin Village and ask Bi to come over."
Kirabi, the opposite-sex brother of Raikage.
Compared to the Abby combination, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Cloud Hidden Village is known as the most perfect Jinchuuriki. He can communicate with the Eight-Tails and perfectly control the power of the tailed beasts.
It is very powerful. On the battlefield, it is like a humanoid turret and a huge meat grinder.
"Send Master Bi to come here?"
Mabuyi's expression suddenly changed and she asked uncertainly.
The Kumo ninja and Konoha have launched many large-scale battles, but both sides have restrained themselves within a bottom line.
If the Jinchūriki are sent to the battlefield, wouldn't it directly expand the scale of the war?
The existence of jinchuriki is more for deterrence.
This thing is like a nuclear bomb. All the five major countries have jinchūriki. With the power of the tailed beast, a casual attack can destroy a ninja army.
Perhaps to a Kage-level powerhouse, the Jinchūriki poses little threat.
But for the ninja troops of the middle genin, it was definitely a scene where the tailed beasts would die in one blow.
When the Jinchuuriki go to war, the nature of the war will be different.
"You heard me right, tell Bi to come quietly and don't alert anyone. We can't lose this war."
If it wasn't the key to victory or defeat, Raikage wouldn't want to use Kirabi.
The only thing he can do now is to increase his chips to the maximum extent, so that the balance of victory in the war will tilt towards the side of Yun Ren.
"In addition, compile the information about the kid who killed Darui and give it to me!"
"yes!"
Mabuyi's face turned serious. She was Raikage's secretary. Now that Raikage had made a decision, she could only help Raikage handle these trivial matters as much as possible.
Is it finally over?
If Mr. Bee arrives, Konoha may not be able to defend it.
In addition to being an Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Kirabi is also a solid shadow-level warrior. Even if he doesn't use the power of the tailed beasts, his combat effectiveness is still very powerful.
…
In order to prevent the Konoha side from discovering something was wrong, Raikage still sent a force of a thousand men to attack the Konoha camp.
This has become a routine.
As long as Konoha is not careful and does not defend properly, it will be their chance!
But with a dog-headed strategist of Nara Shikaku's level in Konoha, it is almost impossible to make mistakes in either offense or defense.
The battle between the two sides turned into a war of attrition.
As the defensive side, Konoha occupies a geographical advantage and has less pressure.
If Yun Ren can't attack for a long time, people will inevitably become impetuous.
The balance of victory gradually tilted towards Konoha's side.
This is just the current battlefield situation. Once the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki arrives on the battlefield, whether Konoha can win this battle or not, the price paid will not be small.
