Chapter 64 Psychological Warfare
After the last support team arrived in the afternoon, Hatake Sakumo convened a meeting with all jounin.
Including Aangji and Uchiha En, they all participated. How can I say that the special jounin also carries the word jounin.
Afterwards, Hatake Sakumo quickly explained his plan.
"The above are the task assignments for each of your teams. Remember them all."
"remember!"
The meeting ended quickly with just a few questions and answers.
After all, Sunagakure will attack at night, but there is no time to wait any longer.
Aangji's squadron was tasked with chasing down the defeated Sunagakure ninjas.
Yes, Hatake Sakumo was so confident that before the war even started, he was already thinking about Sandakakure's retreat.
Uchiha En and the large troops were responsible for ambushing the enemy.
Of course, Hatake Sakumo is also here, so Aangji doesn't have to worry about Uchiha En's safety.
"Let's go." After saying hello, Aangji left with the entire squadron of 13 people.
Passing through dense forests, there is a rushing river ahead.
"The three of you will each lead a small team to ambush on both sides of the river."
"yes!"
After hearing Aangji's arrangement, the three chuunin also decisively agreed.
Regardless of these three chuunin, even several genin are older than Aoji.
But on the way to support Laihe Country, they had already experienced Aangji's strength.
Even without Ice Release, Aangji could kill 12 of them in less than 10 minutes.
This is the absolute strength gap!
Therefore, the three chunin, who originally looked down upon Aoji because of his young age, have long been convinced by Aoji.
This is the ecological environment in the ninja world where the strong are respected.
The sun had just set at this point in time, and it would still be quite some time before Sunagakure would launch an attack, let alone be defeated.
A few members of Cangji's team waited quietly and patiently.
On the other side, there is the residence of the Sunagakure ninjas of the River Country.
"Now, we are going to attack Konoha's base camp in the River Country, drive them out, and then attack the Fire Country." Akasayamu, the commander of Sunagakure at the front, announced loudly.
Next to Chisha Yimu is his wife Chisha June.
"Whoa, attack!"
"Kill all the damn Konoha ninjas."
"We are going to attack the Fire Nation."
"Why does Konoha occupy the most fertile land in the entire ninja world!"
Dense and noisy sounds sounded below.
It can be seen that each of them is impatient to wait.
At the beginning of the Second Ninja War, Konoha directly destroyed Sunagakure's 3,000-strong puppet army.
There are countless friends and family members among them.
It can be said that the two countries have sworn hatred.
"Then, let's set off." Seeing that everyone's emotions had been mobilized by him, Chishayimu said with a big wave of his hand.
Then, a mighty ninja force of more than 2,000 people set off.
In Akasayamu's view, the number of ninjas in Konoha in the River Country is now less than a thousand, and they have an absolute numerical advantage!
"Imu, I always have a bad feeling. How about we think about it again and decide whether to attack Konoha."
Looking at the group of Sunagakure ninjas who followed them out, Chisha June felt particularly uneasy today for some reason.
"Jiyuki, don't worry, victory must belong to us Sunagakure, not to mention that the order has been issued now and cannot be changed at will." Akasayamu came over and held his wife's uneasy hand, and said softly.
Chishayimu thought his wife was simply overly worried.
"But..." Chisha Liuyue wanted to say something else.
But she was immediately interrupted by her husband.
"Okay, June, I promise you, after this battle is over, we will immediately apply to be transferred back to the village to see our son, okay?" Chishayimu continued to comfort his wife gently.
Thinking of his son Xie, whom he had not seen for more than a year and who had just turned 10, Chisha Liuliu couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
"Yeah." In the end, Chisha June chose to support her husband's decision.
Maybe I really missed my son too much, so I was too worried.
The couple no longer thought about anything else and set off with the ninja troops.
After advancing for a certain distance, the Sunagakure troops had slowly come into contact with Konoha's station.
Just as Chishayimu was preparing his troops to attack, he suddenly didn't know who stepped on the trap.
"Boom", "Boom"
The sound of a series of detonating charms exploding immediately stunned the Sunagakure troops.
"ah"
"my hand."
"My feet."
"Hey, are you okay?"
"Hold on, don't die."
The miserable wails of the Sunagakure ninjas sounded one after another.
Seeing this scene, Chisha Yimu's eyes turned red.
Unexpectedly, his wife actually expected it, and Konoha had already prepared for it.
However, there is no turning back now, so we can only move forward.
If you retreat directly now, you don't have to worry about being beaten up by the Konoha ninja.
"Everyone, hold still, don't move for now, protect the puppet master, and let the puppet explore the way forward first." Chishayi Mu immediately reacted and made reasonable arrangements.
Hearing the voice of the backbone, the Sunagakure troops gradually stabilized and stopped running around mindlessly, thereby avoiding more casualties.
Finally, statistics showed that in the explosion of this wave of detonating symbols, at least 200 Sunagakure ninjas died, more than 200 were seriously injured, more than 100 were slightly injured, and the others were also disgraced.
It can be said that before seeing the faces of Konoha ninjas, Sunagakure has already lost one-tenth of the ninjas, another tenth has lost its combat effectiveness, and one-twentieth has its combat effectiveness reduced by half.
"Damn Konoha, we don't have enough people, so we can only use these little tricks."
Akasayamu still thinks that the number of Konoha ninjas is not as good as Sunagakure, otherwise there is no need to use this method to disgust them.
In fact, with the arrival of support from Konoha, the number of ninjas in River Country is no less than 2,000.
After dividing 600 people into 15 brigades to break the sand and hide their retreat, there were still more than 1,400 ninjas on the frontal battlefield.
The number of Sunagakure ninjas is not much worse than today's.
It's a pity that Chishayimu doesn't know all this.
After paying the price of several puppets, Sunagakure finally cleared all the detonating charms and other traps on the road ahead.
Arriving at Konoha's camp, Hatake Sakumo was already leading the Konoha ninjas and waiting.
After taking a rough look at the number of ninjas in Konoha, Akasaki's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
A conservative estimate is that there are at least 1,300 ninjas in Konoha waiting in full formation.
"Konoha White Fang!" Akasa Imu shouted Hatake Sakumo's nickname through gritted teeth.
"We have been waiting here for you for a long time." Hatake Sakumo looked at the Sunagakure ninjas opposite with a smile on his face.
"I didn't expect you Konoha to be able to hide this from our Sunagakure spies, and to have the support of so many ninjas." Akasayamu still couldn't believe it.
"So, are the detonating charms arranged in front of you to smooth out the difference in the number of ninjas between you in Konoha and our Sunagakure?" Akasaka June stood up and asked.
"Well, who knows." Hatake Sakumo said mysteriously.
In fact, the purpose of placing the detonating talisman in front is not to smooth out the already small gap in the number of ninjas on both sides.
But to anger Sunagakure's shinobi!
If they didn't do this, Sunagakure might have just seen so many ninjas in Konoha and chose to retreat as soon as possible.
Another thing I want to talk about is why Konoha directly exposed all other ninjas except the ninja who cut off their retreat.
That's because if Hatake Sakumo hides some Konoha ninjas at this moment, wait until the war starts, and then launch a sneak attack.
It may cause some damage to Sunagakure in the first place.
However, without knowing how many ambushing ninjas there were in Konoha, Sunagakure panicked and also chose to retreat.
These are not what Hatake Sakumo wants to see.
Having said that, Hatake Sakumo is very ambitious and wants to decide the outcome in a battle!
His son Kakashi is already 4 years old. As a father, he has not been able to accompany him well. Hatake Sakumo has always felt guilty in his heart.
What is obvious now is that the number of ninjas in Sunagakure still has a slight advantage over Konoha, and the front has been set aside by Konoha's lack of martial ethics.
Therefore, Sunagakure has only one choice at this moment, which is to destroy all the Konoha ninjas in front of him.
Even if the leader of Konoha ninja is Hatake Sakumo!
It can be said that Hatake Sakumo's psychological warfare has directly and firmly controlled the hearts of Sunagakure's ninjas.
"superior!"
Akasayamu no longer stopped the jealous Sunagakure shinobi and directly gave the order.
Based on the anger in the hearts of the Sunagakure ninjas at this moment, if they had not known that they had to obey the command, they would have wanted to rush forward and skin the Konoha ninja immediately!
Seeing their subordinates getting up, Chisha Yimu and Chisha Liuyue, as commanders, released two puppets each at the same time.
Blue chakra lines extended from between their fingers to various key parts of the puppet.
These four puppets are a sword-wielding human type and a tiger type controlled by Akasa Imu, and a sword-wielding human type and wolf type controlled by his wife Akasa Yuki.
The Konoha ninja on the other side saw the Sunagakure ninja rushing forward, and also rushed forward under the command of Hatake Sakumo.
The so-called soldier against soldier is against the general.
Both sides basically have a tacit understanding of genin versus genin, chuunin versus chunin, and jounin versus jounin, and will not rashly attack those who are weaker than themselves.
Otherwise, if the jonins attack each other's genin, the losses caused to both sides will be unacceptable to them.
Similarly, in this case, Hatake Sakumo chose to directly meet the couple Akasa Imu and Akasa Yuki.
Even if it was one on two, Hatake Sakumo didn't panic at all.
It can even be said that with Hatake Sakumo's Kage-level strength, he was able to bully the smaller ones against two elite jounin.
After the melee between the two sides, Uchiha En also chose to face a jounin of Sunagakure.
Uchiha En entered the battlefield more than half a year earlier than Aoji.
Similarly, Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina went to the battlefield at about this time.
Only Aangji, due to his change of identity and the death of his grandfather, had the opportunity to train himself on the battlefield until today.
The battlefield career of more than half a year has had a profound impact on the three of them.
Compared with going out to perform tasks, the battlefield is a more test of people's hearts.
When performing a mission, you can choose to give up the mission to save your life, but on the battlefield it is really a life and death battle.
The enemy will not show mercy because of your cowardice.
Life is like wheat on the battlefield, harvested one after another.
Uchiha En and the other three have seen their teammates fall countless times on the battlefield, and have seen broken limbs and broken arms all over the ground.
From being uncomfortable at the beginning, to becoming accustomed to it now.
Back on the battlefield, Uchiha En had already stabbed the kunai in his hand into the opponent's heart with an indifferent expression.
In the face of the other party's disbelief, he pulled out the kunai, and blood splattered on Uchiha En's face.
The strange red Sharingan combined with the blood on Uchiha En's face at the moment made the nearby ninjas from Konoha and Sunagakure move away from him.
And Uchiha En is like a big devil walking out of hell, drinking the blood of all living beings!
