Chapter 118: ch116
But the Iwa Ninja Village withdrew, Konoha pursued the Sand Shinobi Village, and the Rain Shinobi Village also pursued the Sand Shinobi Village. The pressure suddenly increased, and the losses escalated rapidly.
In this way, Sand Shinobi Village would definitely not continue to wallow in the muddy terrain of the Land of Rain. They decisively evacuated and concentrated their effective forces in the Kingdom of Sichuan.
Retreating from the Land of Rain does not mean that the war is over. On the contrary, a full-scale war between Konoha and Sand Shinobi Village has broken out.
There once was a great war, but now only Konoha and Rain Shinobi Village remain.
Sad news also came one after another.
At the headquarters, Shigeru and Nara Luxin were sitting together drinking hot tea. Nara Luxin said with a headache:
"Fortunately, I listened to your suggestion before and asked the village to deliver more supplies. Otherwise, the camp would soon face a situation where there would be no supplies."
In order to win the war, Sand Shinobi Village took great risks and sent many elite teams to sneak into the Land of Fire to cause trouble and cut off the material transportation routes between Konoha and the camp.
Although Konoha was prepared, they did not expect Sand Shinobi Village to be so ruthless, and the supply transportation route was temporarily cut off.
Not only was the material transportation route cut off, but the Sand Shinobi Village elite team that sneaked into the Fire Country was also wreaking havoc everywhere in the Fire Country.
The Third Hokage was so worried that a lot of his beard was shaved off, and they kept sending people to encircle and suppress the enemies within the country.
In order to clear out the enemies as quickly as possible, many people were transferred to the frontline camps.
Hatake Sakumo is a representative figure.
I just don't know if he will kill Sasori's parents like in the original story.
"It's better to be prepared."
The Iwa Shinobi Village and the Sand Shinobi Village were evacuated, leaving Konoha with only the Rain Shinobi Village in a semi-disabled state as an opponent. The pressure on the camp was relieved a lot. The most direct effect was that fewer and fewer wounded people were being sent to the camp.
The amount of quiet time began to increase.
"I hope the enemies within the territory can be cleared out as soon as possible, otherwise the war on the front line will also be affected."
The war situation seems more favorable to Konoha, but Nara Luxin is not happy because the number of ninja sacrifices in Konoha is rising steadily.
Rubbing his face vigorously, Nara Luxin asked with some expectation:
"Shigeru, is there really no way to prepare a targeted antidote?"
The number of ninja sacrifices in Konoha continues to soar. Most of these dead ninjas were not killed in direct combat but were poisoned to death.
The culprit is Hanzo the Salamander.
"No way."
Shigeru shook his head slightly and said: "Don't blame me, even if Tsunade comes, there is nothing she can do with the poison of the salamander. This poison is very scary, and it causes compounded damage. The more poison gas is inhaled, the faster the death rate will be."
"It's so fast that it can't be compared to ordinary poison."
"Even the demigod himself needs to wear a gas mask. It is too difficult and takes a long time to make an antidote for such poison."
The antidote cannot be developed, and it is impossible for the village to equip every ninja with a gas mask. The cost of this is still very expensive.
There is no antidote, no gas mask, and with Hanzo's powerful strength, it is surprising that Konoha's losses are not higher.
"Damn it!!" Nara Luxin couldn't help cursing.
Too difficult.
Shigeru reminded Nara Luxin with a faint smile:
"Senior, it's better to send the casualty report to the village as soon as possible. Perhaps Lord Hokage will soften his stance and order us to evacuate from the Kingdom of Rain."
The expression on the Third Hokage's face when he sees the casualty report must be something.
"By the way, I would like to remind our Hokage-sama to hurry up and send the supplies here. We can't let the ninjas in the village go to war hungry."
Why do you want to laugh inexplicably?
This honor is hard to come by.
Some people may have their faces swollen.
Ha ha ha ha.....
"I can..."
Nara, who had a serious face, hadn't finished what he was saying, but when he saw Shigeru burst into laughter, he couldn't help but remind him:
"Please keep your voice down. The atmosphere in the camp is very tense recently. If someone finds out, you will definitely be scolded."
"Hahaha, I think of happy things, why shouldn't I smile? I'm not targeting anyone. If anyone dares to scold me, I'll just slap him with big ears."
"Hahaha, I'm sorry, senior, I couldn't help it."
"I...poof~~~"
What a laugh!!
Even I wanted to laugh.
Nara Luxin wanted to kick Shigeru out of the headquarters.
Shigeru was right to laugh because everyone in the F4 group was numb at this time.
Before the fighting started in Kawa no Kuni, the Fire Country was already in chaos.
The elite team from Sand Shinobi Village was wreaking havoc everywhere, causing people in the Fire Country to panic.
The daimyo was so angry that he sent people from the daimyo mansion to question him.
Third Hokage, what the hell is going on?
Konoha just watched helplessly as the ninjas from Sand Shinobi Village came in and wreaked havoc?
Are you all just eating dry food?
The daimyo never cared about how fierce the external war was. He only needed to support Konoha. However, the Fire Country was destroyed everywhere and people were killed everywhere. The losses caused were not small.
This has a great impact on the actual interests of the daimyo. It would be strange if the daimyo were not angry.
Before the Daimyo Mansion could be appeased, another unfavorable news came from the Kingdom of Rain.
Not to mention the increasing number of sacrifices in the camp, because the material transportation roads were cut off, resulting in a shortage of materials on the front line, everyone was almost out of food, and they had no endurance. How could we still fight this war?
One bad thing happened after another, and even the Third Hokage, who was mentally prepared, became anxious.
"What the hell is Nara Shikashin doing?! Iwa Shinobi Village has retreated, and the people from Sand Shinobi Village have also left. Only one village in the Kingdom of Rain is at war with Rain Shinobi Village. How come the losses are getting worse?"
After reading the battle damage report, the Third Hokage was a little overwhelmed and directly broke through the defense.
During the great battle, the village's performance seemed to be at ease. However, after the great battle ended and only Konoha and Rain Shinobi Village were left, the battle losses continued to increase.
"Hiruzen, you have to calm down, you are the Hokage of the village, you can't lose any ground."
Koharu Mitokado patiently comforted the Third Hokage and tried to divert his attention: "I think we all underestimated this demigod. The poison of the salamander is beyond our knowledge."
Of the one hundred ninjas who died in battle, ninety were poisoned. No one could accept this probability of death.
"Didn't the people in the camp develop a targeted antidote?" Koharu also joined in the conversation.
"I tried, but failed." The Third Hokage clenched his fists. He didn't know whether Shigeru really couldn't develop the antidote or was deliberately making excuses.
"What about Tsunade? What did Tsunade say?"
Koharu asked.
The corners of the Third Hokage's mouth twitched and he did not answer the question.
The Third Hokage sent someone to ask, but they were turned away by Tsunade.
