Kumogakure's ninja retreated.
And it returned directly to the border between the Kingdom of Frost and the Kingdom of Tang.
Because, the scouts sent out to explore the Iron Kingdom’s legions brought back information that looked like Shura’s purgatory with a horrified expression:
The earth is shattered, blood echoes with the setting sun, and soldiers everywhere are left with no corpses left! !
Such information made Sarui feel inexplicably frightened when he once again looked at the city lined up under the afterglow of the setting sun!
really,
That country, with its doors wide open and anyone looking to take whatever they want, contains unspeakable horrors! !
"retreat!"
This was a decision he made the moment he got the message.
Because he cannot gamble with the lives of hundreds of companions behind him on an uncertain outcome.
Thousands of fully armed warriors are a powerful force that even our own side must treat with caution and conduct operational responses!
certainly,
He did not let such a message pass among the advance troops, because it would most likely cause unnecessary panic.
At the same time, Sarui was also convinced in his heart that the [Thunder Light Group] would not be able to continue a counterattack similar to last night in a short period of time.
Otherwise, our own side, which has already reached the city, should be the first target to attack!
[The samurai of the Iron Kingdom did not coordinate their progress according to the established cooperation plan, ]
[Now, in order to prevent any accidents in the agreement between the two parties, we must immediately abandon the results we have obtained and return to the starting point to wait for the large forces to converge. 】
This was the answer he gave in response to the doubts in his subordinates' minds.
As for when the large army will be able to move here from Yunyin Village, Salui does not have an accurate answer in his heart.
After all, unless facing an extreme situation of large-scale invasion by enemy forces, if you want to mobilize ninjas in the village on a large scale, the layers of approval required are too cumbersome.
Those stubborn and corrupt daimyo and dignitaries who always care about gains and losses are even a little unable to cope with their always strong Raikage-sama.
Or you can put it more directly,
There was no follow-up plan prepared for this operation in Tang Country.
He just sent himself to bring a few elite teams, and gathered some companions who had been performing long-term missions in the Kingdom of Frost, and rushed over quickly.
Because in the final analysis, the mission target of this trip is only a little-known country.
Tangyin Village, who was in it, couldn't even fully swallow the mission of its own country.
What kind of waves can such a country that has been weak for a long time, coupled with the coordination of several other forces, create?
I just never thought about it,
Before obtaining the most accurate information, the higher-ups still underestimated the power's hidden heritage and determination.
Fortunately, our Yunyin Village did not suffer any losses in this operation.
This is probably because the other party is afraid of their own shadow and fear of revenge from Yunyin Village, so they don't dare to provoke them easily, right?
After all, the power contained in the Kingdom of Iron cannot be compared with the five major ninja villages, otherwise the structure of the world would not be divided based on the five major nations.
"Captain Sarui, the team has begun to evacuate in an orderly manner."
"About the Iron Kingdom, ugh,"
It seems that he thought of something that made his heart palpitate.
The ninja who came to report suddenly turned pale and couldn't help but retched.
Seeing this, Sarui did not show much anger, but moved his body without leaving a trace, covering up the embarrassing scene of his companion.
At the same time, there was also an obscure look in his eyes.
You must know that the man in front of Yu Zhi is not some casual cat or dog, but a Yunyin elite who has experienced life and death!
Now I even feel palpitations and fear because of a certain scene I saw.
【There, 】
[What happened in the Kingdom of Iron? 】
He wanted to know,
But he was also somewhat unreasonably afraid to pry into the truth of the matter.
"...The changes in the Kingdom of Iron have also been notified back to the village."
It was only at this moment that the Kumogakure ninja who had gone to the northern border of Yuno Country could finish what he said.
"knew."
"Pick up your emotions and don't affect others."
"After all, you are also a Chuunin of Kumogakure Village."
Sarui said in a calm voice.
"Besides,"
"Even if there really is a monster that eats people without spitting out bones in the Kingdom of Yu, we still have the protection of Raikage-sama, so don't scare yourself."
After a pause, he continued to add.
"yes!"
After hearing Lord Raikage's name, the fear and fear in the panicked scout's heart were instantly relieved, and then he straightened his body and responded loudly.
"Um."
Sarui snorted and then withdrew his gaze towards the Country of Yu.
But as night gradually fell, the city under the setting sun was like a beast ready to go, giving him an inexplicable feeling of palpitations.
【but,】
[This action is just a response to your tactic of clearing them out without being reasonable. It is a reciprocal gesture! 】
[I hope you can understand,]
【Don’t push yourself too far! 】
After taking another hard look at the human city with its door wide open, Sarui immediately retreated along the path he came from.
.........
.........
It was raining heavily, and low-hanging dark clouds covered the sky. The whole world seemed to be immersed in great depression.
This is the Rain Hidden Village in the Land of Rain.
A powerful ninja village that once relied on its own efforts to start a fierce war with the three surrounding countries.
but,
The atmosphere here has been extremely tense recently. Not only are there one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps in the core area, but even the outer borders are constantly patrolled by ninjas in special ninja uniforms 24 hours a day.
Such a situation perfectly complements the repressive environment of this domain.
"........., the above is the message from the Country of Tang."
"Currently, the Kingdom of Iron has not refuted the battle report. I think the warrior commander is also very worried about it."
In the dark and square pavilion, a ninja with a forehead protector that symbolized Amegakure was half-kneeling on the ground and stating the message sent back from the outside world.
And in the four corners of this pavilion, there were eight powerful beings with restrained auras sitting there.
They were like motionless wooden figures, alert to everything around them. Here, except for the shallow breathing, all other appearances seemed to be dead.
"Really? Killed thousands of elite warriors in one night."
"Is it the one who took action, or the subordinates who followed him?"
"No,"
"If that person had taken action, the situation would not have been so peaceful."
"But such a gesture is worth my all-out effort."
In the middle of the pavilion is a compartment composed of four grille doors. The previous whispers came from this grille.
The beings sitting among them did not seem to shy away from the subordinates who were also in the same room.
"Then, let's start executing the order I made earlier."
Sanshouyu Hanzo's voice suddenly became louder.
He had already begun to prepare to implement the previously formulated plan, but a secret letter stopped his actions.
[I advise you not to get too close to Tang Zhiguo to avoid getting burned. 】
This is an unsigned letter,
But with Sanshouyu Hanzo's experience, he could naturally tell where it belonged at a glance.
In this regard, his approach was to keep silent.
He neither informed that person nor responded to the owner behind the letter. He just maintained the restrained attitude of recent years and made final stabilization of the upcoming operation.
He must carefully consider whether the emerging Kingdom of Tang can serve as a safe haven for his subordinates.
Even if today's hesitation will be exposed in the future, Sanshouyu Hanzo will not regret it.
He must be responsible for these people who have been following him!
This is his only obsession at the moment!
Judging from the information obtained so far, that land can indeed be used as a safe haven for the Amegakure ninjas.
Although, the achievement of directly destroying a fully armed samurai army in one night is nothing.
In his heyday, the moment he stepped into the Kingdom of Iron, tens of thousands of elite warriors fled in panic like the wind blowing through a field of wheat.
However, after all, this is only the power of one person.
What Tang Zhiguo showed at the moment was the power of his subordinate.
This kind of power is a level that is difficult to achieve in Yuyin Village after abandoning itself.
No,
Perhaps, he once almost had such a prosperous life at his fingertips.
But in the end, the body was still in the wrong body due to the difference in thoughts.
[Damn old Danzo! 】
Whenever he thinks about the past, Sanshouyu Hanzo's body feels like there are countless ants scurrying around crazily and eating greedily, making him unable to control himself.
It took a long time for him to calm down from his regret and anger.
As for whether the situation in Tang Country will become more difficult in the future, it probably won't.
Because, in the face of such a surprise attack and encirclement, if that person did not do something to deter him, he would be really sorry for the surname he inherited.
The Uchiha clan, the evil clan,
Sometimes, you really deserve it!
"What are you doing? Didn't you hear clearly?"
"Hurry up and execute it."
Sanshouyu Hanzo, who was gradually concentrating his thoughts, naturally noticed his subordinates who were still half-kneeling on the floor, and his voice became more sullen.
The sharp aura pouring down caused the candlelight in the pavilion to begin to flicker.
"No, it's not, Lord Hanzo."
The Hidden Ame ninja who was being questioned hurriedly raised his gaze, his face full of anxiety.
"It's because everyone has made the determination to live and die with Hanzo-sama, and no one is willing to leave this land."
"Let your subordinates eliminate those traitors who betrayed Yugakure for you!!"
He roared, declared, and spoke something that resonated in the hearts of every Amegakure ninja.
In the past,
They followed their master and set off three battlefields in succession without fear.
Now,
Are you a bunch of traitors and traitors?
Such generous words immediately made the almost fierce atmosphere around him disappear a lot.
After all, although Sansho Hanzo is regarded as a demigod by the world, he does not truly abandon emotions. Naturally, he can feel the heartfelt words from his subordinates.
but,
But these years of shrinking have made him no longer the demigod he used to be.
Just a twilight old man holding a dull knife.
He had already realized this when the young man named Uchiha Ara arrived a few years ago.
Just like the one said,
This is no longer our time.
Suddenly, a deep sense of twilight filled his heart.
"This is an order!"
Sanshouyu Hanzo said in a deep voice.
He knew the power that the Akatsuki organization now possessed best. Even the ninjas of the five major countries were frequently defeated on this land, which was definitely not easy to deal with.
This is also the main reason why he completely stopped using external forces to eliminate this threat.
certainly,
That person's words also played a decisive role.
"The Kingdom of Rain cannot continue to have civil strife."
"If the disputes continue, the only ones who will suffer will be the residents living here."
"You should all have seen the results achieved after stopping the war in the past few years."
Sansho Fish Hanzang is a heartfelt addition.
"Go ahead,"
"Don't betray my will, don't let Ibushi's month of operation be in vain."
"You too, here, there is no need to continue to be on guard."
At the end of his words, his voice was filled with determination and majesty again.
This land has completely fallen under the surveillance of the Akatsuki organization. This never-ending rain is the most loyal eyes of the other party.
But beneath the surface, there is still an unobservable pure land.
What's more, as long as he is still there, the Akatsuki organization will not easily riot.
[In the past, it was you who followed me around in battles without complaint or fear. 】
[This time, let me serve as your queen! 】
"Hanzo-sama!"
Upon hearing those decisive words of farewell, the whole pavilion was filled with mournful wails.
This is the god they have sworn to serve and follow for the rest of their lives! !
"Don't be sad."
"Perhaps we will meet again someday in the future."
In this suddenly sad atmosphere, Sanshouyu Hanzo said calmly.
"After all, I am Sanshouyu Hanzo!"
[After all, the one who promised me. 】
.........
.........
at the same time,
The Akatsuki organization, which was under the same rain curtain, was also agitated by such news.
"Let me go, let me kill them!!"
"What's the use of just sending a useless clone like Bai Jue there?"
The colorful image that appeared in the dark cave, Hidan screamed crazily, and his furious posture looked like a mad dog!
Such unobtrusive words directly made the carbon-based creature similar to black and white aloe vera feel itchy.
But regarding this, [Jie] has no temper at all.
As an intelligence officer, not only was he unable to obtain any useful information in the Country of Yu, he even lost contact with his own clone!
Although, he was confident that the other party would not be able to find any useful information from his clone.
But what if?
You must know that he was so determined before, and he who was good at hiding could not be noticed by others.
"Shut up!"
"If you don't want to separate the family again, then just listen to what the leader has to say."
Angle made a sound at the right time and suppressed his companions in an instant.
It seemed that the brief confrontation and intimidation that day had cast a shadow on the former, who was fearless.
