Konoha's Way of Death

The Sand Ninja finally retreated safely, but the losses were considerable.

In comparison, Konoha also suffered heavy losses.

But a victory finally boosted the morale of Konoha.

After Wakato led the team back to the main battlefield, Konoha had already chased Sunagakure away.

And they were lagging behind the people who returned to support, so they hung at the end and ran for a long time but did nothing and were not injured.

Hinatagawa, Ku and Eriki were shocked when they saw the fight between the two behemoths, Banja and Iwajak.

But that's it, they just haven't seen a psychic beast with this type of question.

The next day, Hatake Sakumo sat in the tent and looked at the damage report.

Konoha lost a lot of people in this battle. Seeing that more than 400 people died and more than 200 people were seriously injured above, the temporary hospital was already wailing, and the medical ninjas didn't rest all night.

Hatake Sakumo rubbed his brows and asked Orochimaru: "Have all the seriously injured people been dealt with?"

Orochimaru shook his head and said: "It's impossible. Even if there are nearly 80 medical ninjas, they can be divided into about twenty teams. Almost every seriously injured person requires collective treatment by a complete medical team, which takes a lot of time. Damn, someone couldn't hold on anymore and died."

Hatake Sakumo was silent.

He knew that there was no way to change this kind of thing. Even if they had the most medical ninjas in Konoha, so what. You have to know that they were fighting on several fronts. It was impossible for all the medical ninjas to be here. It was good to have more than 80 people. .

"Place it as soon as possible."

Orochimaru nodded, Hatake Sakumo knew even without saying anything.

"We can't let the Suna ninja take the upper hand. This time they are outright plotting. Even if they use tactics, they are just to distract part of our troops. Although we survived this time, we can't always let them strike first and then counterattack. .”

Orochimaru agreed with this and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Hatake Sakumo said: "I have thought about it, and sent twenty teams into the Kingdom of Wind. On the one hand, they are to gather information, and on the other hand, they are to disrupt Sunagakure's defenses, and at least attract their attention and part of their troops."

"Good plan, but who are the candidates?"

Hatake Sakumo was already prepared and took out a page with names written all over it.

Orochimaru glanced at it, and was stunned when he saw one of the names, and said: "Are you sure you want to put him into this mission? You know that they will probably not be able to come back."

"I'm not sure about the others, but I believe what he says."

"Then, I'll go and notify them."

Orochimaru stood up and walked out.

Not long after, an ANBU appeared in front of Wakato and handed him the mission sheet.

After the person took it, he opened it up after returning to his residence.

Looking at the tasks above, Ruoren frowned slightly and finally sighed.

"Ah, I should go on this kind of mission alone. I can leave when I want and run away when I want. Why is this a team mission?"

Although he was very unhappy, Ruoren didn't make a fuss.

In peacetime, he could break into the Hokage Building and negotiate terms with the Sandaime Hokage, but in wartime, no matter what, orders must be carried out, otherwise it will disturb the morale of the military.

After a while, Hinatachuan and others came back.

As soon as Eriki came in, she handed the food in her hand to Wakato, who took it and ate it without saying a word.

He looked at Hinagawa and Jiu. The temporary hospital was still treating the seriously injured and there was no time to treat the wounds of the lightly injured, so they only bandaged their wounds themselves.

So he asked: "Chuan, Jiu, your injuries are okay, right?"

Jiu shook his head, holding his newly acquired sword and caressing it.

For those of them who focus on swordsmanship, they must get familiar with their new "partners" in the shortest possible time.

Hinata Chuan also stretched his body and said: "It's okay, it's not a serious injury, just rest for a few days and you'll be fine."

Ruoren nodded, swallowed the food in a few mouthfuls, and said to them: "Get ready, we will carry out a new mission tomorrow."

The three of them were stunned, and Eriki asked directly: "Why, aren't we going to patrol Area 33?"

Ruoren said: "A new mission has been assigned. We don't need to take care of Area 33. Someone will perform the mission on our behalf."

"What is the new mission?" Jiu raised his head and asked.

Hinagawa answered directly and said with a smile: "Following this guy will definitely not be a dangerous mission. After all, if this guy dies, the senior officials will be sad. After all, he is the number one genius in Konoha."

Ruoren smiled at him, his smile was very strange.

Hinata Chuan broke out in a cold sweat and quickly took a few steps back and said, "Hey, hey, hey, don't show such a smile, it's very scary."

Eriki was moved in her heart and said, "What's wrong? Did Chuan say something wrong? Is this mission very dangerous?"

Ruoren nodded and said seriously: "To be honest, I don't even want to take you there, but it is an order after all and I have to obey it."

When the three of them heard this, they immediately became serious.

You should know that although Ruoren often mocks and plays pranks, he has never said such things.

After all, when these words are spoken, it is no different from seriously saying that they have no ability and will only hinder their progress.

"This time, we will enter the Kingdom of Wind together with nineteen other teams."

The three heard that they would enter the enemy's hinterland and knew the seriousness of the matter.

"What's specific?" Jiu asked.

"The mission goal is to go deep into the Kingdom of Wind, obtain information about Sunagakure, disrupt the enemy's defenses, and attract the enemy's attention."

Several people were silent for a while.

"This kind of mission is almost like asking us to die." Hinagawa said bitterly.

If it's just getting intelligence, they're not sure yet.

But disrupting the defenses and attracting attention showed that they did not have a single goal, and they could do whatever they could after entering the Kingdom of Wind.

If it is to obtain intelligence, they will be required to keep hiding.

But this mission is obviously to allow them to directly expose themselves if they are unable to obtain information.

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the new personnel haven't arrived yet, and we simply can't fight another big battle with the Suna Ninja." Hinagawa comforted himself.

At this time, Eriki suddenly looked at Ruo Ren and said in an unquestionable tone: "No matter what, I will go with you."

When Ruoren looked at her, he saw a firm look in the little girl's eyes.

Eriki suddenly smiled and asked, "You will protect us, right?"

Ruoren also smiled: "Of course, no matter what, I will bring you back safely."

"Yeah, I believe it."

Jiu also showed a hint of smile, and Hinata Chuan licked his face and came over and said coquettishly: "I believe it too, Ruo Renjun."

"roll!"

Ruoren cursed angrily.

For a time, the heavy atmosphere quietly dissipated.

It seemed to them that the desert would never be able to bury them.
