Chapter 305 Necessary Heroic Sacrifice

The former is the so-called ‘temporary ally’

The latter was the enemy who had just defeated him on the battlefield.

Naturally, this is all done with the utmost attention.

Although it is not very appropriate to say this, the casualties of more than 2,000 Kumo ninjas are actually not bad. The most critical thing is the loss of the two-tailed Jinchuuriki. This is a result that their Hidden Cloud Village cannot accept.

In short.

What Yunyin Village needs to do most now is to stabilize the situation and see if they can get the second tail back.

No matter what method is used.

The second tail is an existence that their Yunyin Village must never give up.

The key point is to fall on the Hidden Leaf Village.

At least that's what the Fourth Raikage himself thinks, and he also thinks it's highly enforceable. The premise still depends on his own choices and operations.

"Both Konoha and Kirigakure Village stopped moving forward immediately after receiving the news of our defeat. Yesterday, Konoha's envoy also just arrived and asked about our next move. Originally, I had planned to send some personnel to respond as a false response. Now, as long as Konoha and the Kiri Ninja can be prompted to fight against Uzumaki Menma, the follow-up will still be very beneficial to us, but now that Iwa Ninja is attacking, we may not be able to spare our manpower. "

Tutai shook his head slightly, with a solemn look on his face, and said with difficulty.

The current situation is indeed a bit difficult for Yunyin Village. If the second tail is not lost, it will be fine. At most, they can just swallow the bitter pill this time. After dormant for a period of time, they Yunyin Village can still To regain its power.

But it's different now. The second tail is in someone else's hands.

Their Yunyin Village cannot really choose to stick to the situation.

Just as Genshi decisively ordered Terumi Mei and Ao to lead the Mist Ninja troops to attack after learning the news about Yu Gao, the tailed beasts belonging to their Ninja Village may not be under their control for the time being, but they will definitely Don't fall into the influence of other ninja villages.

That was a very heavy blow to my ninja village.

This is an unfolding that no great ninja village can accept.

Cloud Hidden Village is also included.

"We still need to send some personnel there. Negotiations with Konoha can go further. We can give up all interests. As long as we can urge Konoha to start a war against Uzumaki Menma and then help us regain the second tail, even if it is just the second tail, It’s not impossible!”

The Fourth Raikage took a deep breath and said in a very decisive tone.

The fierceness in the current Fourth Raikage's mind has long since completely disappeared with this defeat. He is extremely calm and rational, and now he only thinks about defending the basic base of his own ninja village.

The two-tailed Jinchuuriki is obviously one of the core interests that Cloud Hidden Village must regain.

Everything else can be transferred out.

Everything else is negotiable.

Only the two-tailed Jinchuuriki.

This is the Fourth Raikage, the one who is in the hearts of the entire Kumogakure Village, and no other Ninja Village can get involved.

But it must be said.

Although the Fourth Raikage looked very calm.

But still not calm enough.

Or maybe it was the arrogance that remained subconsciously in his heart that still blinded him to some extent.

Recapture the two-tailed jinchūriki?

If Iwa Ninja didn't take action.

If we unite with Konoha and Mist Ninja to put pressure together.

There is indeed a high possibility, but now?

Dodai clearly showed a look of embarrassment, but in the end he shook his head slightly, facing the attention of the Fourth Raikage, and said: "Yumito, the Fourth Raikage, I don't think I can hold him. The expectations are too high, so I can only try my best.”

"Huh!? Why? Tutai?"

The Fourth Raikage Ai was subconsciously stunned when he heard Tutai's words, and asked in a deep voice with a frown on his face.

This is not to say that the Fourth Raikage is really not smart enough.

Just when thinking about problems, as a leader, it is easy to fall into deviations and misunderstandings.

Not to mention it is a habitual thinking that has been developed for a long time.

There will indeed be blind spots in thinking.

This is also why the earth platform has a pivotal position, and the reason why two consecutive generations of Raikage value the earth platform.

They just need such a person to analyze the situation for them, and then make suggestions for Yunyin Village on top of many ninja world affairs, and strive for the benefits that their Yunyin Village deserves in every battle.

"Yes, Raikage-sama, because the next leadership is no longer in our hands. The attack by the Tsuchikage and the Iwagakure Village will definitely restrict us. Although we don't want to admit it, as long as the Iwagakure If we are serious about it, we may have to pay a heavy price if we are careless. We cannot completely rule out the possibility that Iwagakure Village wants to take this opportunity to directly hit us hard and completely eliminate the threat from the east. We have to face it now The situation is almost exactly the same as when the third generation died in the battle more than ten years ago, but the situation in Iwagakure Village is completely different. We can't bet on this. This is not a matter of probability, Raikage-sama."

Tudai did not hide his attitude towards the Fourth Raikage's just rebuttal, which was clearly revealed.

After the Fourth Raikage Ai was stunned for a moment, his expression became more serious and solemn.

He found that he did take some things for granted.

It is a huge mistake to look at the current situation with the dogmatism of the past.

What if Onoki doesn't get better this time and gives up? Iwagakure Village must attack to the end and at least further destroy their Kumogakure Village before stopping! ?

Then his own judgment will bring a heavier blow to Ninja Village.

The thought of this.

The Fourth Raikage's expression became more serious than ever.

"You are right. The leadership is no longer in our hands. Everything depends on the enemy's actions to make a judgment."

The Fourth Raikage Ai let out a breath of turbid air and said with a slightly ugly expression.

This passive feeling of being out of one's control.

The Fourth Raikage was really not used to it.

But as a Kage and the leader of a ninja village, you still have to exercise some restraint.

"Yes, Lord Raikage sees clearly."

"What Mingmi, the next actions are all arranged by you, Dodai, give up what you need to give up, control the losses to the minimum, let Mu Ren... try your best to get as much as possible from Konoha... ”

The Fourth Raikage sneered, shook his head as if mocking himself and said softly.

"Yes, Lord Raikage, I obey your orders!"

Tudai also suddenly lowered his head in response, and he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. Sometimes he was really afraid that if his Raikage-sama became stubborn, he would rush forward regardless.

In that case, their Yunyin Village would have to bear more risks.

This is a situation Tutai absolutely does not want to see.

Steady persistence and efforts to win over allies are the best solution for their Yunyin Village at the moment.

Yunyin Village was forced to make a choice.

Under the orders of the Fourth Raikage.

Even if they give up the front line all the way, the series of benefits they have obtained in the past ten years have been consolidated. The Fourth Raikage still hopes to use these areas as the basic point to achieve further expansion of the Ninja Village.

What I didn't expect was that a single defeat would bring almost all of these benefits to naught. It was also because of this that the Iwa ninjas who arrived at the front line and advanced in addition to the partial stronghold removal battle at the beginning, the remaining It's almost like pushing it all the way, and then building a radiating base of strength that belongs to your own Ninja Village bit by bit.

As long as they do not encounter strong pushback from Kumo Ninja and other Ninja Villages, after three or four years of stabilization, these countries in this area can be said to be included in the sphere of influence of Iwagakure Village.

From now on, the share of tasks in these countries and regions will all belong to Iwagakure Village. This is also the most common routine used by ninja villages in various countries.

Build a stable control zone.

The strategic advantage of establishing your own Ninja Village.

Then there is the harvesting of various types of tasks that may need to be issued by the people in this area.

This is also one of the fundamental reasons that directly triggered the three ninja wars.

Otherwise, do you think those high-level people in Ninja Village are really interested in the so-called land? Ninjas don't need to cultivate, their professional attribute is killing!

In the final analysis, it is because only your own ninja village can cover a larger area and get a larger share of tasks.

The rewards you get will be higher.

Only in this way can we cultivate more high-quality ninjas.

Finally, it feeds back into the military confrontation to further compress the enemy and expand our own advantages. This is a very perfect benign closed loop.

Konoha can always maintain such a strong posture.

It's because the Fire Country they belong to is so rich.

The people living in this country are so rich that they often issue tasks, and the rewards are very considerable. In the surrounding small countries, as long as they have the choice, they will issue tasks to the Hidden Leaf Village, and even to the ninja villages of other countries.

This is one of the fundamental things that the four great ninja villages want to compete with Konoha.

Now, Yanyin Village launches a strong attack on Yunyin Village.

It is a similar intention to severely damage Yunyin Village and eliminate the threat on the eastern front. That is indeed important, but it is definitely not the only reason.

Human beings are always a kind of creature that has no profit and cannot afford to be early.

At this point, almost most people in the ninja world will see it very clearly, and the same is true for Loess. Although he is more kind-hearted by nature, he is only targeting his companions in his own ninja village, just like the Fourth Hokage. Being approachable and approachable is only for companions, once the fundamental interests of the Ninja Village are involved.

People like them will not be merciful.

They all came out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the ninja world, and no one has that ridiculous sense of innocence.

in this military operation.

The goal of Iwagakure Village is also very clear.

As the frontline commander personally appointed by his Tsuchikage father, Huangtu, who was also Menqing, was ready to fight one fierce battle after another, but after just a few battles, he couldn't do it at all. After the collision, it was considered a decent battle.

Along the way, he never encountered any Cloud Ninja again.

Even the frontline reconnaissance troops failed to encounter the cloud ninja who came for reverse reconnaissance.

This surprised Huang Tu.

Until Huangtu received further news.

"What? The cloud ninjas have already retreated across the board, are you sure?"

Huang Tu raised his eyebrows, looked at the leader of the reconnaissance team who came to report with a look of disbelief, and asked in a slightly low tone.

According to usual experience, it is generally impossible for the Cloud Ninja to abandon these frontline strongholds.

Or it should be said that at least it has to be decided after a fight.

This is almost the same as retreating from the beginning.

In the past ten years.

I have never encountered this once.

Huang Tu has dealt with the Cloud Ninja countless times, and when he was young, he also had a clash with the Fourth Raikage.

I can't say that I know him very well.

But I feel that the Cloud Ninja's decision this time is a little beyond expectations.

But it was only a few seconds later.

When I think of the losses suffered by the Cloud Ninja in the previous war.

Huang Tu suddenly realized it.

"Send the information back to the village, ask Lord Tsuchikage for instructions, and the entire army will set out immediately to seize the necessary strategic locations and completely bring this area under our control."

Huang Tu looked at the several Iwagakure ninjas gathered in the surrounding positions and said seriously.

"Yes!"

Since the Cloud Ninja gave up on their own initiative.

Then there is no need for them in the Iwagakure Village to be polite.

First swallow the interests of the Land of Fields and the Frost Country. This piece of fat meat, they in the Iwagakure Village are salivating.

This is the minimum standard that must be met in their intention to send troops this time.

After the news was passed back to the Hidden Rock Village.

Ohnoki's order was also quickly passed back.

Not just the Land of Fields and the Land of Frost.

Ohnoki's order was to let Huang Tu lead the troops to the border of the Land of Thunder. Benefits are one thing, and severely damaging the Cloud Ninja is another.

Ohnoki wants it all this time!

After receiving the order, Huang Tu also made great strides forward. The establishment of the base and communication with the daimyos and nobles of the two countries will be left to professionals. Moreover, in this day and age, which country's leader is not a smart fence-sitter?

If you can't resist, you can only obey to the end.

Whoever is strong, follow him.

This is the eternal truth in the ninja world.

Anyway, the ninja village has no interest in the country's territory. For them, it is enough for the sphere of influence to radiate out.

This is also a common truth in the ninja world.

The countries that didn't know how to behave and the small ninja villages had long disappeared in the long river of history. Those who could stay now were considered "smart people".

The aggressive Rock Ninja.

The Cloud Ninja who entered a comprehensive defense.

It was also the full-scale fight that finally started in the western border of the Land of Lightning, and the war was once again ignited.

It also attracted the attention of the ninja villages of various countries at the first time.

'A new round of Ninja World War is coming again! '

This is almost a consensus of everyone.

And it was when most people in the Ninja World were worried that peace would no longer exist and death would come again.

The Land of Rain.

The core area, the Hidden Rain Village, which is covered in drizzle almost all the time throughout the year.

There are a group of people who are happy to see this new round of war.

That is the leader of the Akatsuki organization, the man who calls himself "God" and the woman who calls herself "Angel".
