The Konoha ninja who asked Itamura Seiichi was his good friend Hosaka Teppei who graduated at the same time as him. He was stronger than him and was a special jonin of Konoha.
Teppei Hosaka did not participate in this attack mission, so it seemed a little unbelievable that Seiichi Itamura could still laugh despite being so seriously injured.
"Haha, Teppei, it's a shame you didn't participate in this offensive mission!"
When Itamura Seiichi smiled, his two big front teeth were exposed, but as he smiled, blood oozed out from between his teeth, making him look quite scary.
"Zhengyi, don't get excited, pay attention to your injuries!" Hosaka Teppei glared at Itamura Zhengyi in a reproachful manner, and then carefully helped him walk into the field hospital, "When your injuries are stable, share your joy with me."
"No, I want to say it now! Ahem..."
He coughed a few times, and although there was more blood at the corners of his mouth, Itamura Seiichi was still very excited.
"You know the A and B team from the Hidden Cloud Village that killed so many of our companions, right? That A is dead!"
"What?! Dead!" Hosaka Teppei was stunned at first, then ecstatic, "That's great, I finally avenged my companion who died tragically at his hands!"
"That's right, that's why I'm happy! If I wasn't injured and Master Jiraiya had forbidden me from drinking, I would definitely celebrate!"
"Don't talk about celebrating yet. Tell me first, was it Minato Jonin or the two brothers from the Hatake family who killed A?"
"It should be the three of them who did it together..." Itamura Masaichi scratched his head, "I was fighting with a Cloud Ninja at the time, so I didn't see it clearly."
"However, on the way back, I heard from some of my companions who were closer to the center of the battle that the person who actually beheaded A was Hatake Akira."
"Is it really Hatake Akira?" Teppei Hosaka raised his eyebrows.
"Not sure... I was already injured..."
"Then what did you tell me?" Hosaka Teppei released his hands from supporting Itamura Seiichi's arm, "I'll go ask someone else."
After saying that, Teppei Hosaka left Itamura Seiichi behind, turned around and ran to a relatively large group of people to ask them for news.
"Hey...do you have to be so realistic...I'm your friend, and also a wounded soldier!"
Although Seiichi Itamura complained, he still limped into the field hospital on his own.
Moreover, he had just rested in an empty bed for a short time when he pulled a medical ninja who came to treat his injuries and talked about what he had seen on the battlefield before.
Just like that, the news that the AB combination of the Cloud Ninja Village fell apart due to the death of A spread throughout the camp at the fastest speed as the Konoha ninjas who were performing wartime missions returned.
This is the first exciting news since the Fire Nation went to war with the Thunder Nation.
The three people who played key roles in the film, namely, Hatake Akira, Namikaze Minato, and Kakashi, have once again become the three names frequently mentioned by everyone nowadays.
……
"Very good. Once A dies, the top combat power of the Hidden Cloud Village will be completely out of balance with us!"
Jiraiya held the scroll that sealed A's head in his hand, with a heroic look on his face, "Organize the team, and wait until tomorrow, I think we can launch a general attack on them!"
Jiraiya made this decision after careful consideration. The top combat force in a faction plays a very important role on the battlefield.
Before A was killed, the AB combination could barely hold back Hatake Akira, Namikaze Minato, and Kakashi. If Killer Bee transformed into a tailed beast, they could still have a slight advantage in the battle against the three of them.
It is precisely because of this situation that the Konoha ninja troops, which are at a disadvantage in terms of manpower, cannot gain much advantage against the large group of Kumogakure ninja troops.
Although Jiraiya of Konoha did not take action, as the commander-in-chief of the army, he would not easily take action unless it was absolutely necessary.
He needed to guard against the sudden entry of the Sandaime Raikage, or other backup measures reserved by the Hidden Cloud Village.
But now that A is dead, the Fire Nation will have a top fighter free.
No matter who this top fighter is among the three people including Hatake Akira, he can pose a great deterrent to the ninja troops of the Hidden Cloud Village.
After all, whether it is the Flying Thunder God Technique or Kakashi's Bloody Elimination Sword Technique, it will be a one-sided situation when facing Chunin and Genin on the battlefield.
Some people may say that there are still some senior ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Village, and if there are enough of them, they can also hold back any one of the three men, Hatake Akira.
This is indeed the case, but the jonin in Konoha Village are no pushovers. There is no reason for them to allow their top combat force to be besieged.
Therefore, once the top combat power is unbalanced, when the two sides confront each other, the balance will tilt towards the Fire Nation.
The reason is simple: the top fighters are just too strong in mowing the grass!
croak.
A communicating toad from Myoboku Mountain was summoned by Jiraiya. It jumped twice and came to Jiraiya's feet, opening its mouth wide.
Jiraiya didn't hesitate to be polite. He bent down and stuffed the sealing scroll in his hand into the toad. After thinking for a while, he put the mission report of this offensive mission into the big mouth of the communication toad.
puff.
After the information that needed to be transmitted was stuffed into the communication toad's mouth, the communication toad turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared in front of everyone.
"Alright, A's head and the report of this offensive mission have been sent back to Konoha. You should go back and have a rest. Join me tomorrow to completely drive the Land of Lightning out of the Land of Hot Springs!"
"Yes!"
Hatake Akira and the other two nodded in response, then left Jiraiya's tent.
After the three left, Jiraiya turned around and looked up at the field map hanging on the wall, carefully studying tomorrow's specific attack route and specific tactical configuration.
He wanted to take advantage of this imbalance in top-level combat power to completely drive the Hidden Cloud Village ninja troops out of the territory of the Land of Hot Springs.
As for the crazy counterattack from the Hidden Cloud Village, Jiraiya is confident that he can handle it!
……
The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
At this time, the Raikage's office had become a mess, and the Third Raikage's already ferocious face became extremely hideous.
A is dead!
A is his son!
The next Raikage successor of the Hidden Cloud Village is dead!
And now what was in front of the Sandaime Raikage was a mutilated corpse with a missing head, broken legs, and a big hole in the chest!
More importantly, without A’s head, he not only lost his last dignity as a ninja, but also the remaining information in his brain would be completely squeezed out by Konoha’s torture ninjas!
There are many ways for ninjas to obtain intelligence, and there are at least 1000 ways to torture ninjas to obtain intelligence from living people.
And there are no less than 5 methods that can allow them to extract a lot of information from the dead.
Take the Yamanaka clan of the Konohagakure ninja clan as an example. Their family secret technique, the Mind Transmigration Technique, can not only read the memories in the brains of living people, but they can also do it with the dead.
Although the information recorded in the brain of a dead person may be incomplete, A is an important figure in the Hidden Cloud Village after the Third Raikage. Even if a little bit of information is leaked from his brain, it will be a serious loss to the Hidden Cloud Village.
In addition to the reported losses, A's death also dealt a severe blow to the morale of the ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Village.
Although there will be a sentiment of "the army of miserability will win" in the short term, this sentiment will not last too long. Moreover, the top combat power has an impact on the front-line troops, which cannot be eliminated by emotions alone.
"Calling all the ninjas in the village! All of them!"
After venting his anger and smashing the office to pieces, the Sandaime Raikage's long hair fluttered in excitement, and then he shouted loudly towards the closed door.
"Yes! Lord Sandaime Raikage!"
The member of the Raikage Guard answered respectfully, then closed the office door that had just been opened at the fastest speed in his life and ran away without a trace.
At this time, no one wants to get into trouble.
As for whether the Sandaime Raikage's decision to order all Cloud Ninjas to attack the Land of Fire was right or wrong, no one was considering it at this time.
In the Hidden Cloud Village, the Raikage still has the final say...
Even if he rose to the height of Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, he would be unable to do anything except to make things difficult for the Third Raikage financially.
……
Konoha, Hokage's office.
The communication toad of Myoboku Mountain transmitted messages very quickly, and the news of A's death and the related mission report were also placed on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk.
Different from Jiraiya's excitement, the Third Raikage was furious to the point of losing his mind, while the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was so calm that it made people's heart palpitate.
In the office, there was no other sound except the puffing sound of Sarutobi Hiruzen smoking.
"Oh...confused!"
Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed heavily, looked in the direction of the Land of Lightning and shook his head.
"This time, we are at war with the Hidden Cloud Village..."
"Let's take it one step at a time. Now we just hope Jiraiya can hold on."
"Someone is coming."
After taking two more puffs of his pipe, Sarutobi Hiruzen called for the Hokage guards.
"Lord Hokage!"
"Notify the entire village that we are now in a state of full war. All Genin who have graduated or are about to graduate will be on the sign list. Let them wait for the village's next notification at any time!"
"Yes! Hokage-sama!"
After the members of the Hokage's guard left, Sarutobi Hiruzen came to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, looking down at Konoha from above, with a mixed expression on his face.
Chapter 142 Kakashi breaks through again.
In fact, when Hatake Akira cut off the head of A with his knife, he also weighed the pros and cons for a moment in his mind.
But soon, Hatake Akira decided to kill.
Regardless of what role the future Fourth Raikage Ai will play in the future timeline, at least now A is the enemy of Hatake Akira.
Why consider so many pros and cons when dealing with enemies?
As long as you are strong enough, you can shoulder all the problems!
As for the crazy revenge from the Hidden Cloud Village caused by A's death, Hatake Akira had already anticipated it.
But so what?
Possessing the Flying Thunder God Technique and its many derivative ninjutsu, Hatake Akira has become one of the small group of people standing at the top of the ninja world at this stage.
It’s not that the Flying Thunder God Technique is so powerful, but that the Flying Thunder God Technique is really versatile.
As for the weak, there is nothing to say. If you look at them for one more second, they will kill you.
As for strength, there are many ways to describe it.
