The remnants of the Kumogakure's army finally retreated successfully.
The last reserve force stationed in the Hidden Cloud Village arrived in time and barely stopped Konoha's advance.
However, it was not them but the Village Hidden in the Stones village that forced Konoha to decisively withdraw its troops and give up the pursuit.
On the second day after the Konoha ninjas marched into the Land of Lightning, urgent news came from the direction of the Village Hidden in the Rain.
The Village Hidden in the Stones, which had chosen to remain on the sidelines since the war began, finally began to advance!
The Village Hidden in the Stones unilaterally tore up the secret alliance with Konoha, and in the Land of Earth, a large number of ninjas were gathering and rushing to the front line, with the target being the Village Hidden in the Rain.
After discussing this with everyone, Jiraiya had no choice but to issue an order to retreat. After invading the Land of Lightning, the ninjas of Konoha launched a series of retaliatory actions that were inconvenient to publicize, which could be regarded as a way to vent their anger.
Shiratori Uchiha, who was at the southeastern front, couldn't help but sigh after hearing the news.
No matter which world it is, the words written on the covenant will always smell like farts…
The atmosphere in the southeast camp was quite tense.
Every ninja in the southeastern front was engaged in combat preparations. They knew that after learning that they had been severely fooled, the angry ninjas in the Village Hidden in the Mist would launch an all-out attack.
It's not actually accurate to say that they had been severely fooled because of all of Konoha's reinforcements, traps, luring the enemy deep into its territory, etc. They were all made up by the ninjas at Village Hidden in the Mist itself.
Even Shiratori could hardly imagine the mental state of the enemy's top commander, Fuguki Suikazan, at this moment…
Of course, instead of worrying about the opponent, it is better to worry about your own commander first.
According to gossip, Torifu suddenly laughed for no apparent reason last night. The sound was so loud that half of the camp could hear it. Everyone was panicking privately, fearing that their commander would be driven crazy under the huge pressure…
Well, there are some people who are not panicked at all, like the uncle with thick eyebrows next to him.
"Boss Shiratori, do you want to eat chicken?"
Might Duy was holding two pheasants in his hands, and he showed his big, shiny teeth to Shiratoris.
Might Duy had a lot of free time, at least not until he nearly built exploding talismans into the fortifications.
He can't do any other work.
Reconnaissance? Believe it or not, he can run to the gate of Village Hidden in the Mist village and give Kirigakure ninja a small gift but a big token of affection.
Drawing a topographic map? If you don't want to travel to the Land of Lightning for no apparent reason, I advise you to give up this idea.
Tactical drill? You can't expect someone who can just move randomly in a battle to do something so difficult.
So…
"So uncle… You were going hunting just now?"
"Yeah, I see you haven't been eating well lately. You've been eating just Military ration pills every day, so I want to improve your diet."
As he spoke, Might Duy squatted down and began to process the ingredients skillfully.
"Boss Shiratori, don't look at me as a fool. I'm actually very good at cooking, especially roasting chicken! My family is poor, and in order to keep Guy from starving, I often go out hunting. Sometimes, I even stray into the forest of death and get caught by the Anbu, haha…"
He has always taken good care of Guy.
And now, although he calls Shiratori Boss, in his heart, Shiratori is also someone who needs to be taken care of.
How can I not take care of you?
"Well, I was hunting just now and saw the grass swaying not far away. I thought it was the enemy approaching, so I kicked it… "
"… And then?" Shiratori turned his head expressionlessly.
"I feel so guilty! I'm such an idiot! He has been taken away by the Medical Ninja. It seems that he has three broken ribs…"
How can it not drive you crazy…?
At the same time, in the Land of Waves, across the sea from the Land of Fire, at the Village Hidden in the Mist camp.
The last two Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist came to the front line and brought a letter from the Mizukage with them.
Snap!
Raiga Kurosuki slapped the handwritten letter from Mizukage Yagura in front of Fuguki Suikazan, bared his big fangs, and gave the latter a gloating smile.
Fuguki Suikazan took a deep breath and opened the envelope. After just a few glances, he couldn't help but want to tear it up!
Mizukage Yagura, who was usually easy-going, went crazy and attacked Fuguki Suikazan in the letter without leaving any face. He said basically everything except dirty words and cursed the highest commander on the front line.
Fuguki Suikazan felt that his blood pressure was a little high and even had some signs of cerebral hemorrhage, but he still gritted his teeth and finished reading the letter.
It's bullshit, it's really bullshit, you are right to scold me!
Because of his misjudgment of Konoha's movements, eight thousand Kirigakure ninjas looked affectionately across the sea at the mere two thousand enemies, like idiots…
Although Fuguki Suikazan felt that even if Yagura Karatachi was here, he would come to the same conclusion as him... But the mistake is a mistake; there is no doubt about it, and he has to stand at attention when being beaten.
Yagura also showed some mercy to Fuguki and only reprimanded him in a private letter. He did not let Raiga publicly read out the order of dismissal in person but instead asked him to resign on his own.
Yes, dismissal.
Fuguki Suikazan was relieved of his post as the supreme commander of the front line and all matters on the front line.
"I feel deeply guilty for my previous erroneous command. Effective immediately, I will resign as the supreme commander of the front line. From now on, all matters concerning the front line will be decided together by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."
Fuguki Suikazan stood up, walked down from the main seat under everyone's teasing gazes, especially by Juzo Biwa, and stood with the others.
He was very grateful to the Mizukage Yagura for not publicly dismissing him, but that didn't stop him from cursing in his heart:
"Yagura Karatachi, you are such an idiot!"
Two armies are facing each other, the situation is changing rapidly, and then you come up with the idea of changing the decision maker to seven people…
Don't you understand that a military order can only come from one person?
Or is it that old fellow Hiruzen Sarutobi on the other side of the ocean of learning who is playing a political balancing act?
Okay, why don't you learn this?
In his opinion, such a decision was meaningless except for delaying the issuance of orders and slowing down the speed of Village Hidden in the Mist's attack.
It was pure chaos!
Discuss and decide with those six guys? Those six guys are more stupid than each other, and even if they are put together, they can't form a complete brain.
Nonsense!
There was one person here who should have objected to such a naive decision.
But he said nothing.
The frontline staff officer, Kirigakure Jonin Ao, stood silently behind everyone, with no intention of speaking.
He thinks more than Fuguki Suikazan.
"The order mentions that any decision on the front line must be agreed upon by all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist before it can be implemented. This does not mean that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist can lead their men to fight on their own so that the command system will not be confused. However, if the opinions of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are not unified, then our actions will become very slow…"
"It seems that the Mizukage-sama does not want to fight this battle…"
"The Village Hidden in the Mist is the weakest of the five major ninja villages. Hidden Cloud Village Suffered over 10,000 casualties and nearly 10,000 injured ninjas in the raid carefully planned by Konoha. They have almost withdrawn from this Third Shinobi World War. After learning of the invasion of the Village Hidden in the Stones, Konoha's more than 30,000 elite ninjas will definitely come back to help!"
"That's it! Before Konoha went to war with the Village Hidden in the Sand and the Village Hidden in the Stones in the Village Hidden in the Rain, the Mizukage didn't want to draw Konoha's attention. In this battle, the Mizukage… Didn't want to win at all!"
"Yes, it is not difficult to eat up the two thousand people on the southeastern front of Konoha. With all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist deployed and the strong attack of eight thousand Kirigakure ninjas, Torifu Akimichi will not be able to stop it. But we may be in trouble after that…"
"It seems that before Konoha is truly mired in the quagmire of the Village Hidden in the Rain battlefield, we will not be allowed to go deep into the heart of the Land of Fire… But we have to pretend; otherwise, it will be too embarrassing!"
"We must at least inflict heavy damage on Konoha's southeastern camp, and our losses must be within an acceptable range."
"Once we have wiped out Konoha's frontline troops, those guys will definitely come up with their own opinions on the next action. While they are wasting time arguing with each other, the next order from the Mizukage should have arrived."
Looking at the backs of the people in front, even if he can't see their expressions, he can imagine the faces of the six people except Fuguki Suikazan.
Ao chuckled in his heart.
The Mizukage gave you power not because of your abilities but because he has enough confidence in your brains!
I don't know what you are so excited about…
I just feel sorry for Fuguki Suikazan.
