Since Sand Ninja Village chose an all-out attack, almost all the ninjas in the entire village were on the frontline battlefield, and there were only a small number of ninjas and juniors left behind in the villages at the rear.
There are reasons for daring to do this. On the one hand, the Kingdom of Wind is located in a desert environment with scarce resources. Ninjas who are not adapted to the terrain of the Kingdom of Wind will be greatly affected in the Kingdom of Wind.
On the other hand, from a geographical point of view, the only one that can sneak attack into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Wind is the Iwa Ninja Village of the Earth Country. However, once the Iwa Ninja Village spends a huge amount of troops to try to sneak attack their hinterland, the Cloud Ninja Village, which is eyeing the Iwa Ninja Village, will
Will never miss the opportunity.
Their advantages in all aspects enable them to conduct a comprehensive attack.
Inside the camp.
In the central tent.
"Lord Kazekage, here are today's battle damage statistics... Twenty-one of our troops were killed, forty-three were seriously injured, and one hundred and nine were slightly injured..."
A Jonin from Sunagakure Village took a piece of organized information and handed it to Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage.
Luo Sha took it, glanced at it, put it on the table, and said solemnly: "There is no need to change the battle plan. We will continue to act according to the original plan tomorrow."
"yes."
The jounin responded and left the camp.
There was not only the Fourth Kazekage Rasa alone in the camp, but also the general staff officer Ebizo, the elder Chiyo and several other top members of Suna Ninja Village.
"In fact, before the attack on Ye Cang begins, it is most appropriate to keep the troops stationary to reduce battle losses, but doing so may arouse suspicion on the Konoha side..."
Ebizo looked at a map on the table and spoke slowly.
Luo Sha nodded and said: "Yes, so in order to prevent Konoha from being alert, even if some casualties are allowed, the frontal battlefield operations must be maintained. When Ye Cang's operation is successful, the battlefield will be completely reversed immediately.
situation!"
Chiyo looked at Luo Sha with a deep look and said, "I hope it will go so smoothly."
Luo Sha noticed the strange look in Chiyo's eyes, but did not make any response. Instead, he said to Chiyo: "It's getting late. Elder Chiyo should go back and rest first. It's best for you to lead the team for another attack tomorrow.
"
"..."
Chiyo didn't say much and walked towards the outside of the camp.
Luo Sha looked at Chiyo's back, an undetectable light flashing in her eyes.
Among all the Kages of the five major ninja villages in the ninja world, Rasa's strength is considered the weakest among them. If nothing happens to the Third Kazekage who is in his prime, it will be difficult for him to take over as the Fourth Kazekage.
But he took over in a hurry, and even though his direct subordinates and control over the village were far weaker than those of the Third Kazekage, he still secured his position as the Fourth Kazekage!
What you rely on is the means!
Launching an all-out war against Konoha and starting the Third Ninja War is one of his methods!
The so-called revenge for the Third Kazekage and asking Konoha to give an explanation is simply nonsense. Even plundering Konoha's resources is only a secondary purpose.
His main purpose is to rely on war to secure Feng Ying's position!
Using this war to weaken the families and other senior officials who are hostile to him, and to cultivate elite subordinates directly under him, this is what he is really doing, so he does not care about the so-called casualties at all, not even the casualties of this war.
I don't care much about winning or losing.
Kaede Ye's evaluation of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa is that a character like Danzo is even worse than Danzo in terms of the overall situation. After all, Danzo still has the goal of unifying the ninja world.
What did Luo Sha do?
He thoughtlessly launched an all-out war against Konoha, which greatly depleted his village's combat power, in order to enhance his own power and status and secure the Kazekage's position.
Later, because Ye Cang achieved dazzling achievements in the war and became a hero, which threatened his status, he immediately joined forces with Kirigakure Village to plot Ye Cang's death.
Then he kicked Chiyo and Ebizo, who were highly respected and could compete with him in terms of status, out of the decision-making level and asked them both to retire.
Later, he was killed by Orochimaru during the Chunin Examination.
It can be said that throughout history, this Kazekage has never done anything truly beneficial to Suna Ninja Village. Everything he did was to consolidate his power and status.
In a sense, Luo Sha's methods are indeed powerful. He has been able to develop from hastily taking over Feng Ying to being able to cover the sky with one hand and rule the ninja village. However, this kind of power play is something Feng Ye despises.
.
The reason is simple.
Sit in the well and look at the sky!
This world is not a world of power, but a world where strength is paramount. In the face of existences like Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, it is extremely ridiculous to play with so-called power.
In fact, both Chiyo and Ebizo knew Rasa's purpose, but they had no way to stop it because Rasa had taken over the situation and used conspiracy to use the disappearance of the Third Kazekage as a reason to launch war against Konoha. There was no way to refute it.
, coupled with the deep hatred between Sand Ninja Village and Konoha, it has gained the support of the entire village.
"Elder Ebizo, you should also go and rest."
Luo Sha turned to look at Ebizo who was sitting there looking at the map.
Ebizo stretched out his hand and groped on the map twice, raised his head, with a trace of sadness on his face, and said, "I'm afraid I can't sleep. I don't know why, but I have an unknown premonition."
"bad feeling?"
Luo Sha was surprised, shook his head and said: "It's probably because you are too tired, elder. It's better to go and rest early. The subsequent layout of the battlefield will still need to be directed by you, elder."
"Maybe."
Ebizo sighed, stood up, and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, a figure rushed into the camp, knelt down on one knee towards Luo Sha, and reported with a somewhat anxious voice: "Reporting to Lord Kazekage, we have lost contact with the surprise attack force!"
The cozy atmosphere in the venue suddenly changed.
Ebizo's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Luo Sha.
Luo Sha's expression also changed slightly. Although the surprise attack force was not his direct subordinates and he didn't care much about it, it was impossible not to react when he heard such news suddenly.
"When did you lose contact?!"
"this afternoon."
The contact ninja reported urgently: "According to the original plan, the surprise attack force should contact us at noon, but no news was sent. In the afternoon, the contact force took the initiative to send a message to try to contact us, but in the evening there was no response. Just from
The news received from the psychic beast is that...the liaison ninja over there is dead!"
Ebizo's face turned ugly.
The ominous premonition came true.
The liaison ninja plays a very important role in the surprise attack force. He is protected in the center of the team. If the liaison ninja dies, it means that something is wrong with the surprise attack force!
"..."
Luo Sha's face was also a little gloomy, but most of it was disguised.
The surprise attack plan was Ebizo's decision. If something went wrong, Ebizo would take most of the blame, and his status would be greatly weakened, which was actually a good thing for him.
"Master Kazekage, Master Elder, what should we do next?"
The contact ninja asked Rasa and Ebizo anxiously.
Ebizo took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Don't be confused. Ye Cang is with the surprise attack force. Even if they encounter something, they can still deal with it. Their current situation should be that they are scattered and out of contact... Send out a scout force to go there.
Check out the situation and contact them!"
"Just do it."
Luo Sha also nodded and spoke in a deep voice.
The liaison ninja responded and quickly left the camp to convey the order.
