Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 490 The Frontline Ninja Army Was Defeated!
Every single one of the Konohagakure ninjas at the scene had already realized the seriousness of the matter.
Only now did they understand.
It turned out that things were not as simple as they had imagined.
It seemed that they and Iwagakure ninjas were constantly pulling each other back and forth.
But.
In fact.
They had all been targeted.
In addition to Iwagakure, two of the three remaining major ninja villages had launched an attack on Konohagakure at this time.
If Minato was not there.
This would cause a devastating blow to Konohagakure.
All of a sudden.
Every ninja present felt a chill down their spine. They all realized that even if they avoided Iwagakure's attack in front of them, they would not be able to avoid the sneak attacks of the two villages behind them.
Regardless of whether they were willing to admit it or not.
Now they all understood this principle.
Konohagakure was already standing on the edge of the cliff.
It was the yellow-haired man in their line of sight, Namikaze Minato, that pulled Konohagakure back from the edge of the cliff.
At this time.
Just when they thought that the short-term war had come to an end.
They understood.
It didn't even wait for them to return to Konohagakure.
They were going to face the sudden attack of Sunagakure's ninja army.
Almost everyone was shocked, but this did not stop them from mentally preparing to welcome everything that would come.
...
At this moment.
Country of Earth, Iwagakure.
A ninja team quickly ran in the direction of Iwagakure. Their faces were full of tension and anxiety. Now they were going to send back the very important news. This was information about Iwagakure's future.
Soon.
The figure of the team quickly passed through the woods and arrived at the gate of Iwagakure.
"You..."
The ninjas guarding the gate saw the team that had come. They were members of the ninja army who had previously gone to the battlefield. They all knew each other, but these people should be at the frontline, not here.
"Why are you back?"
The ninjas guarding the gate cautiously asked. After the Tsuchikage assassination, they were especially cautious about anyone who wanted to enter Iwagakure.
"There is no time to explain!"
"We want to see Tsuchikage-sama!"
"The situation is very urgent!"
Everyone on this team was extremely anxious. They were the advanced intelligence team sent by the ninja army to return here. They were responsible for quickly reporting what happened at the frontline to the Tsuchikage as soon as possible.
"Understood."
These gatekeepers looked at each other. After that, they each took a step back and directly made a path for the people of this team to pass quickly.
Immediately after.
These ninjas quickly walked toward the direction of the Tsuchikage Building.
"That..."
The gatekeeper suddenly realized something so he looked at these ninjas and said, "Tsuchikage-sama is not in the office now. He is in the hospital. You can go to the hospital directly!"
"Understood!"
These people nodded and quickly rushed toward Iwagakure's hospital. After they heard the words of the gatekeeper, they suddenly remembered that Michiru had said that their Tsuchikage-sama was attacked by a Konohagakure ninja.
Damn it!
After thinking about such a thing...
The expression of the ninjas in this team became even heavier.
It could be said that at that time, each of them wanted to avenge their Tsuchikage-sama, but in the end, no one had done it.
Moreover.
Now, it was not something that could not be accomplished.
Not only did they fail to avenge their Tsuchikage-sama, they even had to tell their Tsuchikage-sama a very terrifying piece of information. That was that they, Iwagakure, had been completely defeated.
Most importantly...
They had been defeated by a single person!
Thinking of this.
The expressions of the ninjas in this team became even uglier. They really did not want to tell this to their Tsuchikage-sama, but there was no other way. This level of information must be delivered to their Tsuchikage-sama.
Because of this.
They really had no other way.
They could only rush toward Iwagakure's hospital.
Iwagakure was not very big.
As long as you enter the gate of the village.
Then there was not much distance from the hospital.
Soon.
These ninjas arrived at the entrance of Iwagakure's hospital.
When they arrived they immediately saw Onoki's son, Kitsuchi.
"Kitsuchi-sama!"
The three ninjas flashed over quickly and stood in a row. They stood in front of Kitsuchi and greeted him in unison.
This sudden appearance of a ninja team.
Kitsuchi was also shocked.
"What's the situation with you?" Kitsuchi looked at these ninjas in confusion. Iwagakure was not very big, and almost every ninja knew each other. He immediately recognized that these were several people from Iwagakure's ninja army.
"..."
These ninjas suddenly took a deep breath, and then they looked at each other in the same way. Everyone knew the answers, but it was very difficult to say them.
Finally.
The captain of this team nodded. His lips moved slightly and he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said it out loud.
"Something happened at the front line."
It was a very simple sentence.
But it sounded so heavy.
Not only did the faces of this team was serious, but even Kitsuchi, who had just heard the news, became extremely serious.
"I understand. Come with me."
Kitsuchi did not directly ask about the specific details. After all, his father the Tsuchikage was not dead, and he still had the ability to deal with things. He was just calmly recuperating from the injuries he had received.
Besides.
Even though he was the son of Tsuchikage.
However, he did not have the qualifications to handle such an important matter.
...
Kitsuchi brought these ninjas to the ward where Onoki was.
Soon.
They arrived at the ward.
At this moment.
Onoki lay on the bed with his eyes closed, enjoying the comfort brought by his small injuries. After all, being Tsuchikage was also a tiring thing, and he didn't want to let go of the status brought by this power, so he took this opportunity to take a good rest.
Creak~
Along with the soft sound of the door opening.
The door of the ward where Onoki was in was pushed open.
A few ninjas led by Kitsuchi walked in one by one and stood in front of Onoki's bed.
Kitsuchi did not stop. Instead, he walked straight to Onoki's bed and directly close to Onoki's ear, he then said in a very soft voice, "Father, there is very urgent information from the frontline."
Suddenly.
Onoki sat up, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the few ninjas who came to report the news.
"What happened on the frontline?"
Onoki's tone was full of urgency. It was not a small matter when it came to the frontline. After all, it was related to the Third Ninja World War.
Seeing Onoki's actions.
The ninjas who came to report were dumbfounded.
When they first came in, they were still trying to figure out what their Tsuchikage-sama's injury condition was, but when they saw their Tsuchikage-sama sitting up as if nothing had happened, they immediately felt reassured.
Their Tsuchikage-sama was fine.
Iwagakure's pillar did not collapse!
"It's like this..."
The team captain took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with strong unwillingness and anguish, but he was very clear that things were no longer something he could change.
"When we were launching a large-scale attack on the Country of Fire, we encountered..."
The captain had not finished speaking when he was immediately interrupted by Onoki.
"Wait!"
Onoki's voice suddenly sounded. His tone was very serious, like a teacher in charge.
As soon as this was said.
This team captain's voice stopped abruptly.
He didn't say anything else.
Instead, he quietly listened to what Onoki was about to say.
"Didn't I want you to guard the border between the Country of Earth and Country of Fire?"
"Why did you go to the Country of Fire?"
"Who told you to launch an attack?"
Onoki suddenly became very serious. He keenly caught the abnormality inside.
He did not care if there were any problems at the frontline.
At least, he had to confirm something first.
The ninja army on the frontline...
It seemed that they did not follow his command!
"This..."
The team captain was stunned for a moment. He immediately reacted and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look into Onoki's eyes.
On that day.
He was fortunate enough to hear Michiru's conversation.
He understood some of the tricks.
Their Tsuchikage-sama only ordered not to be too far away from Iwagakure on the surface and then sent Midoritsuchi to issue an order with extended meaning, and at that time the blame had already been handed over to Michiru.
Of course.
After that time.
Michiru only probed forward.
He didn't immediately attack the Country of Fire.
Until Kitsuchi's information came.
Michiru announced to everyone that their Third Tsuchikage-sama was injured.
It was because of such news.
It directly lit up the emotions of the Iwagakure ninja arm and set off to attack the Country of Fire.
But...
They never thought that they would encounter a heaven-defying existence like Minato!
"That..."
This team captain's thoughts quickly became lively. He first went to Michiru's previous analysis and understood that their Tsuchikage-sama was not a simple character. Especially what Michiru said, their Tsuchikage-sama would not be wrong.
Then...
Their order must not be issued by their Tsuchikage-sama!
In addition...
Midoritsuchi and Kitsuchi's names must not be mentioned either!
If he says it...
His life must be miserable in the future.
It's just right!
Their Commander Michiru was dead!
Then...
This team captain thought a lot in an instant. After that, he looked up at Onoki.
"Tsuchikage-sama, the order to go deep into the Country of Fire to attack Konohagakure was given by Michiru-sama!"
This team captain said firmly.
At this time.
He felt that he had found the best solution.
How could their living Tsuchikage-sama be wrong?
And if he said it was the fault of the high-level people, then wouldn't he be in danger?
The dead one would be fine!
For example, the dead Michiru!
Anyway, he was already dead!
In that case, it wouldn't be a big deal even if Michiru was a little bit more unlucky!
Then so be it!
This team captain instantly made an analysis that he originally couldn't imagine. On top of that, he made an answer that he felt would satisfy their Tsuchikage.
As the team captain of this intelligence team.
He was very clear about it.
The important thing was to inform their Tsuchikage-sama about the defeat of the ninja army at the frontline.
It was not to trace who was responsible.
However.
There had to be someone who had to take the blame for this defeat!
"Michiru?!"
Onoki frowned. He vaguely felt that there was something wrong. According to his understanding of Michiru, the latter was a cautious person who was good at figuring out other people's thoughts. Such a person did not seem like someone who could give an impulsive order to attack.
"Where is Michiru?"
Onoki felt that it was better to find time to ask Michiru these questions. He trusted Michiru very much in his heart, otherwise, he would not let Michiru be the commander of Iwagakure's ninja army.
"This... um... that... Michiru-sama, he..." This team captain pursed his lips and finally whispered, "He has died on the battlefield!"
"What?!"
Onoki's eyes widened. This was the most outrageous news he had heard today.
"Michiru is dead?"
"How is this possible?"
"Michiru is our Iwagakure's elite Jonin!"
"Even Konoha White Fang can't easily keep Michiru in battle!"
"How did he die?"
"What happened at the frontline?"
Onoki suddenly realized that there might be a bigger problem at the frontline. It shouldn't be the kind of problem he first thought of.
Michiru was dead?
He was too clear about Michiru's strength!
He knew that Michiru would not be Konoha White Fang's opponent, but he would never be easily killed by Konoha White Fang. As long as Michiru wanted to leave, he could leave!
Michiru was this level of a ninja!
But...
Michiru was actually dead!
Onoki's face was very serious. He stared at the team captain in front of him and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"The frontline ninja army has been defeated!"
This team captain knew that he still had to say this to their Tsuchikage-sama. After all, this was his purpose of reporting, but when he said this, he was still very unconfident, as if he had let his Tsuchikage-sama down.
As soon as this was said.
Onoki's eyes widened even more and his eyes filled with disbelief, he could not believe his ears.
Not only was Onoki shocked, but even Kitsuchi was also shocked.
"Defeated?!"
Onoki and Kitsuchi stared at this team captain in surprise. They knew how powerful Iwagakure's ninja army was and how undisciplined Konohagakure's ninja army was.
How could they lose?!
