Juggernaut of the Moonlight Family

Chapter 319

Kono, the elite Jōnin of Yanyin, is mainly responsible for guarding the safety of the eastern part of the country, or more precisely, guarding against Yunyin.

Although the four major powers declared war on Konoha at the same time, no matter which country they were, they obviously didn't dare to go out and besiege Konoha.

It is already a very risky behavior to be able to mobilize some troops from other directions.

This is another important reason why Konoha is able to cope with the siege of the four major powers.

Take Yan Yin as an example. Since the beginning of the war, none of Kono's men has been dispatched to the front line. The west is responsible for guarding against the ninja troops of Sand Yin. Frontier ninja troops, as well as some ninjas in the village.

And watching Dongming fight like a raging fire, Kono was undoubtedly very envious.

Although war means death and cruelty, as a ninja, especially Kono as a commander, he obviously values ​​other things brought about by war.

Such as exploits, such as honor, such as reputation.

Not only Kono, but also the Chunin and Jōnin under him, even warmer than him in their hearts.

After all, compared to Kono, who has been able to participate in decision-making and basically has no promotion, the Chunin are eager to pass the missions and achievements in the war to be competent as the Jnin, and the Jnin hope to go further and participate in the decision-making. Instead of just being a "beating worker" kneeling aside and obeying orders all the time.

However, when Kono received the news from Onoki, his original envy for Dong Ming disappeared instantly.

The Sandaime Raikage personally led the elite Kumogakure ninja to sneak into the Earth Kingdom.

Kono naturally knew what this news meant.

Especially when Ohnoki ordered him to let the person in first, while other ninjas had already rushed towards this side, preparing to make dumplings.

However, although he was very excited, he also knew better how to make the third Raikage not suspect, and lead the cloud hidden ninja into the land of land with peace of mind, which is the most important task of this mission. , the whole plan will fail immediately.

. . .

"Notify the first and second brigades, Master Liangliang's order, immediately follow me to the country of grass for support."

Barely suppressing the excitement and anticipation on his face, Kono put on a dignified expression, and called the messenger.

There are too many people talking, and the best way is obviously to convince the subordinates that they are indeed going to support the front line of the country of grass this time.

"Master Kono, can it be that the other side really can't hold on anymore?"

After receiving the order, the captains of the first and second brigades ordered their deputy to gather their subordinates, and at the same time came to ask Kono himself.

In order to keep it as confidential as possible, except for Kono, even the two Jonin captains who are also commanders don't know the real situation.

"Konoha is cunning. He placed hundreds of detonating symbols on the Kannabi Bridge in advance. After the war started, he sent that damn Yueguang Lan to approach quietly and blow up the bridge. Konoha took the opportunity to attack and suffered heavy losses."

Facing the eager questioning of the two, Kono's acting skills were pretty good, his face was serious as if he could squeeze out water, and he even gritted his teeth when talking about Yue Guanglan, a well-known opponent among Yanyin ninjas.

However, the gritted teeth on Kono's face was probably not an act.

After all, after the investigation results after the incident, and when Konoha spread the news about Yueguang Lan's bridge bombing operation in order to hit the morale of the enemy and boost his own morale, the whole Yan Yin felt a desire to tear him apart for Yue Guanglan. Crushed, chewed, eaten raw hatred.

"Is that Yueguang Lan who can hide again?!"

"Didn't Anbu already have a way to see through the invisibility? Why was that Yueguang Lan approaching invisibly and blowing up the bridge?"

"Okay, you should wait until you arrive in the Land of Grass to ask Dong Ming's worthless men about this kind of question."

Kono, who was worried that if he continued to speak, might reveal his secrets, facing the two "curious babies", he rushed them away with a bad expression.

. . .

While Kono and his men were pretending to be heading towards the Land of Grass, the elite Kumogakure ninja team led by the Sandaime Raikage had also arrived at the border of the Land of Earth.

"Lord Ai, Kono personally led two brigades, a total of [-] ninjas left not long ago."

The special jonins who were good at reconnaissance soon discovered that Kono was leaving with a large number of ninjas.

"It seems that Yan Yin really suffered a lot this time, so that the old guy Onogi had to start mobilizing these ninja troops stationed at the border."

There is no doubt that there is his Lei Ying, and he is naturally overjoyed to hear the news.

"Leaving five hundred ninjas at a time, and even the main general has left, there must be some flaws in their defense."

So he, who originally planned to launch a surprise attack head-on, immediately decided to change his plan.

"Comprehensive investigation, finding loopholes, bypassing them, and sneaking into the heart of the Earth Kingdom."

"Yes!"

The other Yunyin ninjas naturally agreed with Raikage's temporarily changed plan.

After all, even if the enemy can win a big victory now by taking advantage of the weak strength of the enemy, it will undoubtedly startle the enemy, so it is better to simply bypass the opponent, enter the hinterland of the land country, and then explode suddenly.

As for whether this will make dumplings, given that the opponent only has one large group of more than 100 ninjas left, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to stop their more than [-] elites.

What's more, behind them, another army of ninjas that has been assembled is about to come and expand the results of the battle. Instead of trying to stop them, the two hundred or so Yanyin ninjas might as well think about how to fight against them in a cloud that is several times larger. It is more realistic to survive the attack of hidden ninjas.

But the extremely confident Raikage and Yunyin ninjas didn't know that the five hundred ninjas led by Kono, after only driving for a long time, made a big circle around the border of the Taki Kingdom to outflank theirs. Back way.

What they don't even know is that in Yanyin Village and the Land of Grass, there are more Yanyin ninjas who are also rushing towards them starry night and night, intending to keep them all in the Land of Earth.

And the spies they relied on, although they were extremely anxious to send out the news, instructing them to retreat immediately, but faced with Yanyin Village, which was completely sealed off and no one was allowed to go out, there was nothing they could do.

An invisible big net has been completely opened.

What is left for them is either the death of the fish or the cruel ending of the net being broken.

. . .

Compared with Yan Yin, who detected Yun Yin's movements in time, and also quickly responded by laying a net of heaven and earth, and became the target of the allies' sneak attack, Sha Yin was obviously a bit too slow.

However, this cannot be completely blamed on Sunagakure.

On the one hand, Konoha put so much pressure on them that when the war started and both sides were in a stalemate in other directions, Sunagakure was the first village to be pushed into the territory by Konoha. In desperation, the Sandaime Kazekage had to arrive at the front line in person to stabilize the war situation.

On the other hand, this is also because it is difficult for Sand Yin to keep track of Kirigakure's movements in a timely manner when Kirigakure hangs alone overseas.

After all, compared to the land, on the vast sea, it is very difficult to find the enemy in time, let alone follow them.

Especially in the case where most of the Kirigakure ninjas are good at water escape ninjutsu.

In addition to these two factors, another factor that made Sha Yin's reaction so slow was entirely because of Sha Yin's own greed.

After Hatake Sakumo took the initiative to withdraw the battle line from the desert, even if Kazekage III came in person, facing the Anbu elite troops led by Hatake Sakumo could not get much advantage.

And seeing that Konoha's side really can't take advantage of it, Sand Yin turned his attention to his old opponent who had been entangled for several years - Ume Yin.

As a result, Sha Yin, who was already defenseless, was dragged by Yu Yin for a good part of his energy.

It wasn't until the news of the seaside reached Sand Yin Village that Sand Yin finally realized that he had been stabbed in the back by his ally, Kirin.

For a moment, emotions such as anger and panic instantly enveloped Sha Yin.

To make matters worse, in this case, Kazekage, who is the backbone, is not in the village yet, but confronts Konoha on the front line.

The only fortunate thing is that Chiyo and Ebinozo, two respected elders, are still in the village.

So the two, who knew that the time was urgent, immediately notified Kazekage, while organizing manpower, preparing to drive Kirigakure into the sea again.

After a short period of confusion, Chiyo and Ebizo personally led the team, and the new recruits such as Hakura and Xie who had been honed on the battlefield of the Land of Rain were the backbone, and immediately went to the rescue.

It wasn't until Chiyo and the others had set off that Kazekage at the front finally knew the fact of Kirigard's backstab.

However, after seeing the news from the village, he didn't show much anger, and there was only disappointment in his eyes.

Then, after handing the letter to Luo Sha, and after Luo Sha read it quickly, with shock and anger on his face, he asked in a tired voice.

"Luo Sha, what do you think we should do next?"

Although he had experienced the incident where he was almost framed as a traitor in the Land of Rain, the disciple of the Third Generation Kazekage obviously trusted and valued this fact.

"Naturally, we will resolutely fight back and drive Wuyin into the sea."

Facing the questioning Luo Sha, there was nothing wrong with her answer.

But this obviously didn't satisfy Feng Ying.

"Apart from this?"

After Luo Sha quietly glanced at Fengying's face, she couldn't help but fell into confusion.

But soon, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Master Kazekage means that,"

Luo Sha carefully looked at Feng Ying's face, and whispered.

"A truce with Konoha?"

Although it was said to be a truce, both of them clearly understood that this was Qihe, which was a disguised surrender to Konoha.

"It's not just a truce."

Fengying is slightly satisfied with Luo Sha's answer, but not completely satisfied.

"It's better to form an alliance with Konoha again."

Luo Sha, who had already guessed at Fengying's words, still couldn't help being surprised when he heard Fengying really said the word "alliance".

"After all, we have a common enemy these days, don't we?"

But Fengying obviously did not do it on a whim, but after serious thinking.

Perhaps, long before Kirigakure's sneak attack happened, he had already carefully thought about the truce with Konoha, and even forming an alliance.

It's just that there is a lack of a suitable reason that is convincing enough for the sand hidden ninjas, so it has not been announced.

And now Kirigakure just gave him a very suitable reason.

"Kuyin attacked us first, and we did this only to protect ourselves."

Luo Sha, who understood Kazekage's thoughts, immediately agreed with Kazekage's idea, and even explained the reason for Kazekage to do so.

Although Fengying may have had this idea in his heart, it is obvious that it is very unfavorable for Fengying to propose such a proposal that obviously implies surrender.

"Yeah, Kirigakure broke the covenant and attacked us first. In order to protect ourselves, we can only do this."

Seeing Luo Sha being so upright, Feng Ying was naturally very pleased.

"Although Konoha seems to be still strong now, the war has been going on for so long, and Konoha must have been exhausted long ago."

Immediately afterwards, Kazekage once again talked about Konoha as his opponent.

After all, if they want to pray for peace, or even form an alliance, it can't just be wishful thinking, and Konoha, the opponent, must also agree.

"Take this handwritten letter from me and go see Hatake Sakumo immediately."

Saying that, Kazekage took out an envelope from his ninja bag and handed it to Rasa.

And seeing this letter, Luo Sha became more and more sure that Fengying had already thought of a truce.

"Yes."

After receiving the letter respectfully, Luo Sha wanted to leave.

"When meeting with Hatake Sakumo, you might as well mention Kirigakure's sneak attack."

But what Fengying said next made Luo Sha immediately turn around again, looking at him with a look of surprise.

After all, what if Konoha thinks it is profitable to self-explode the current predicament and take advantage of the situation to launch a strong attack?
"Konoha doesn't have this strength now,"

Feng Ying, who knew what was going on in his heart, shook his head with a determined face.

"Otherwise, Hatake Sakumo wouldn't have retreated back then. We are already so flustered now that we are only being attacked from the front and back. With one enemy against four Konohas, now we are just holding on."

"But in this case, if Konoha takes the opportunity and the lion opens its mouth..."

Luo Sha thought of the panic in her heart when she saw the letter just now, but she could understand what Kazekage said, but she still felt that there was no need to tell Konoha about it.

"You still don't understand."

A look of disappointment flashed in Fengying's eyes, but she was still very serious and analyzed it for him in detail.

"Only in this way can we convince Konoha that we really want to cease fighting with them. Moreover, for Konoha, who has one enemy and four enemies, what they need most is nothing else. It is an ally with enough weight, for this reason, how could they push the most needed ally out for a little money?"

"My subordinate understands."

Only then did Luo Sha suddenly realize, and hurriedly answered with a respectful face.

"Then go, I'm waiting for your good news."
