This is the cruel truth of the ninja world, the most straightforward embodiment of the law of the jungle.
But even though they understood this truth, the combined ninja forces of Fudo and Toru had no way to deal with it.
They really couldn't figure out how to restrict Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato!
"Trash, they are all a bunch of trash!"
Ohnoki, the Tsuchikage in the Land of Rain, had already received the battle report. The series of numbers marked on the document seemed to be stained with blood, which shocked Ohnoki.
boom!
He slammed his palm on the table, his eyes turned red and saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth unconsciously.
He was extremely angry!
"We must make those two guys, Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake, pay the price!"
"Tsuchikage, are you going to take action yourself?"
The Kazekage Rasa, who was sitting next to Ōnoki, seemed unusually calm. "If there is no effective way to deal with it, I think it would be better for you to calm down."
"Luo Sha! How can you ask me to calm down?!"
Ohnoki turned around and glared at Rasa fiercely, like a ferocious beast ready to devour someone!
"More than 1 people, a full people!" Ohnoki was trembling all over. "Gone, just like that! Can you believe this?"
"I really can't believe it, but this is the result..."
Fengying Luosha spread his hands, "Since the matter has come to an end, what we should do now is not to find out who is responsible, but to find a way to solve the problem."
Although Luo Sha has many shortcomings, his extraordinary calmness still adds a lot of points to him.
However, Rasa's calmness did not infect Onoki, but made Onoki even more irritable.
"Solution? What solution is there?" He pointed at Luo Sha, "Can you deal with Namikaze Minato or Hatake Akira?" He pointed at himself again, "Or do you think I can deal with them?!"
"I can't deal with either Minato Namikaze or Akira Hatake." Luo Sha sighed, "Flying Thunder God Technique is simply an unsolvable ninjutsu for us at the moment..."
Luo Sha sighed and glanced at Ohnoki who was breathing heavily beside him. "Although we can't deal with them now, we can try another way."
"In what way?"
"For example, let the troops bypass them, or let them split up into smaller units." Luo Sha pointed to the battle map on the table, "The Fire Country has a large area, but there are only two people, Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake!"
"You mean... a large force feinting and a small force infiltrating?"
"No, no, no, the loss would be too great if we do that."
Luo Sha shook his head and drew a circle on the map. "The Fire Country has a vast territory, while Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake are weak. The most important thing is that the Flying Thunder God Technique has the same effect when dealing with small and large forces!"
Luo Sha's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "The time required for two people to kill 100 people and 1000 people using the Flying Thunder God Technique is not much different."
"But if we divide the remaining 3 people into 300 teams of people and scatter them across the territory of the Fire Nation like flowers from the sky, then..."
"With just Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake, while blocking some of the people, it will give the rest of our troops enough time to advance!"
"We use numbers to buy space, and then use space to buy time. When Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake are busy running around, our many teams scattered across the Fire Country may have already broken into the heart of the Fire Country!"
Oonoki nodded in agreement with Rasa's tactical theory, and his anger subsided a lot.
Although Luo Sha's tactics seemed a bit cowardly to Ohnoki, on the other hand, this might be the only tactic that could counterbalance the unparalleled mowing power of Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato...
"Then do as you say."
Ohnoki nodded, and then he had another question, "Rosa, do you think we need to gather our scattered teams together after they successfully break into the heart of the Land of Fire?"
"Need not."
Luo Sha shook his head. "If we unite our forces, won't that give Hatake Akira or Namikaze Minato another chance to slaughter us?"
"Tsuchikage, you have to understand that our ultimate goal is to win this war and defeat Konoha, not to target a few individuals."
"In my opinion, instead of fighting to the death with Minato Namikaze or Akira Hatake, it would be better for us to deal with the people who can give them direct orders!"
"For example, the Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire!"
Luo Sha's purpose is very simple, which is to use the secret advance of the stragglers to sneak into the heart of the Fire Country and then launch a surprise attack on the Hidden Leaf Village and the Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Since Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato cannot be dealt with, then just deal with their immediate superiors!
"This……"
Ohnoki groaned for a moment, "The Earthquake Core Team I sent to raid Konoha... was completely wiped out..."
Oonoki didn't want to admit his failure, but now was the stage of making plans and many things had to be made clear.
Luo Sha naturally understood the subtext of Ohnoki's words, which was simply that he was not optimistic about his subsequent plans.
"It is indeed sad news..."
Luo Sha first comforted Ohnoki, and then went straight to the point, "Konohagakure is not our main goal next. The Daimyo Mansion is our center."
"Tsuchikage, you remember how the Water Country took over the Bear Country, right?"
"Of course I remember. It's nothing more than capturing the Daimyo of the Bear Country... and then..." Ohnoki's eyes gleamed, "Your consciousness is..."
"That's right!" Luo Sha's mouth curled up wildly, "As long as the Fire Country Daimyo admits that he was defeated, then everything that follows will be much simpler."
"But what should we do with Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake?"
Oonoki thought about it and still tilted his head to ask Luosha. This shows how deep Oonoki's hatred for Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato is!
"Why deal with it?"
"Huh?!" Ohnoki raised his eyebrows, "Don't forget, Luosha, the two of them slaughtered more than 1 of us!"
"With such hatred and such a huge threat, we must not let them go!"
"Tsuchikage, one or two people cannot influence the overall situation of the ninja world..." Rasa looked at Ohnoki deeply, "Just like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha before, the two of them once overwhelmed us."
"But what will be the final result?" Luo Sha grinned, "Time is the biggest enemy of these two invincible ninjas. They will die sooner or later without us having to do anything!"
"As long as we gain enough benefits from this war and accumulate capital for future generations, then in the future... the ambition of dividing the Fire Nation will be accomplished in the hands of our descendants!"
"This……"
Ohnoki was completely numb. The more he listened to what Rasa said, the more he felt something was wrong.
Namikaze Minato and Hatake Akira have been elevated by Rasa to the same level as Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
Are the two younger generations really worthy of this?
But even if they deserved it, Luo Sha didn't want to kill them directly, but to use time to kill them...
This made the proud Ohnoki a little unbearable, but he couldn't find a good excuse to refute.
Helplessly, Ōnoki could only nod with a sour face, temporarily agreeing to Rasa's plan.
As for what is temporary, of course Oonoki has some plans of his own for the future.
……
Konoha, Hokage Building.
Two documents were placed on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk.
Looking at the contents written on the document, Sarutobi Hiruzen had half of his face smiling and the other half crying.
Such a torn expression appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face, which was enough to show how complicated his mood was at the moment.
The good news is that Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake defeated the combined ninja forces of the two countries of Fudo with an extremely exaggerated performance.
At first glance, the master and disciple seemed invincible, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel that the future of Konoha was bright.
Sadly, his best friend and rival Danzo Shimura died...
Sarutobi Hiruzen has complicated feelings towards Shimura Danzo, but to some extent, the two of them have an alternative symbiotic relationship.
One person plays the role of light, and the other plays the role of darkness. With the help of each other, both of them achieve some of the goals they need.
Therefore, the death of Shimura Danzo did more harm than good to Sarutobi Hiruzen...
In fact, when he received the news of Danzo Shimura's death, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a momentary impulse in his heart, which was to question Minato Namikaze and Hatake Akira why they did not go to support Danzo Shimura's troops as soon as possible!
But after thinking about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen suppressed the thought.
Because of the Third Ninja World War, the reputations of Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake in Konoha have reached an alarming level.
It is hard to imagine what kind of impact the news of their battle will have on Konoha once it is reported back to the leaf.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen could not see the whole thing, he could still guess a general idea.
It's almost time for him to step down...
No, it should be said to give way to others.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen did not want to abdicate, he felt that he could still continue to shine as the Hokage.
Not only that, now Sarutobi Hiruzen is very dissatisfied with Namikaze Minato, and the fuse was that Namikaze Minato took the initiative to make himself the jinchūriki of the Eight-tailed Gyu-ki!
knock knock knock.
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was brainstorming, there was a knock on the office door.
"Enter!"
"Sandaime Hokage, the peace delegation from the Hidden Cloud Village has arrived. Here are their peace documents."
"Well, put it on the table."
Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the peace document from the Hidden Cloud Village from the desk, unfolded it and read it carefully in front of him.
But just after reading half of it, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly stood up and slammed the peace documents in his hand onto the table.
"Assholes! They are the first to be eliminated. How dare they threaten us who have won with such a tone and such a way!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was really furious at this time. He couldn't understand why the Hidden Cloud Village could still use such tough words when it was clearly the losing party.
After a tantrum, Sarutobi Hiruzen calmed down and picked up the peace documents that had fallen on the desk.
After reading it in its entirety two or three times, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt a surge of sadness in his heart.
If, as stated in the peace agreement, the Hidden Cloud Village also joins the ninja coalition of the two countries of Fudo, then the future of the Land of Fire...
"Minato, you're confused, you're confused!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly thought of Killer Bee, "If he didn't become the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki for the sake of great power, then Killer Bee would be a very powerful bargaining chip in our hands!"
