It has been two days since the great battle with the Sand Ninja. The aftermath of the battle is still affecting the ninjas on both sides. Although there are no large-scale conflicts, the number of reconnaissance teams on both sides has not decreased much.

The Sand Ninja's purpose is to confirm the casualties of Konoha's ninjas and whether Konoha has any plans to continue invading the Wind Country. Konoha also needs to determine the casualties of the Sand Ninjas in order to decide on subsequent strategies.

But this has nothing to do with me anymore. After the war with the Sand Ninja ended, I accepted a new mission to report the battle intelligence and the current situation back to Konoha, and wait for the final arrangement of the Hokage.

After all, the Kingdom of Wind will most likely not invade the Kingdom of River again before the war with the Kingdom of Rain is over, and there are only a handful of ninjas in the entire Konoha who have the strength of elite jonin like Sensei Jiraiya and Hatake Sakumo.

As the commander of the Wind Country battlefield, Hatake Sakumo cannot leave easily. After this battle, although there is still some gap between me and Hatake Sakumo, my strength is obviously superior to that of ordinary jonin. There is no need for me to waste time on the front line of the Wind Country.

The military situation was urgent. I traveled day and night from the Konoha camp in River Country and returned to the outskirts of the Hidden Leaf Village in more than a day. After passing the guard inspection at the village entrance, I went straight to the Hokage Building and waited for the summons from the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen through the notification of the Anbu.

In fact, Hatake Sakumo would regularly report intelligence about the battlefield in the Land of Wind to the Hokage and Konoha's top leaders through the Anbu ninjas. Regarding this battle with the Sand Ninjas, Hatake Sakumo also reported his ideas and plans.

Now that the battle has been won, it is naturally necessary to report to the Hokage and the Konoha high-level officials in a timely manner so that they can give the latest instructions to the Wind Kingdom front.

Due to the importance of this information, Sarutobi Hiruzen met me in the Hokage's office not long after, as well as Konoha's senior advisors Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu. Danzo, on the other hand, had gone to the Land of Lightning and had not returned yet.

After entering the room, I handed the war report written by Hatake Sakumo to Sarutobi Hiruzen through the Anbu ninja. The information was naturally brief, so I waited for Sarutobi Hiruzen to ask questions after reading the information.

Hatake Sakumo's report was not long, and Sarutobi Hiruzen finished reading it in a short while. After giving it to Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu to review, he turned to me and smiled: "Well done, Sakumo was full of praise for your performance."

"It's the joint efforts of Lord Hatake and all the ninjas. I just did what I should do." Although my performance this time was not bad, Hatake Sakumo is the real core of this war.

"Sakumo is naturally a ninja recognized by everyone, otherwise he wouldn't be allowed to be on the front line of the Wind Country. But you really surprised me this time."

"I originally thought that your performance in the Land of Rain was already amazing. Being able to fight against a jonin and defeat him at this age, you can be called the leader of the young generation of ninjas."

"I didn't expect that in just over a month, you could fight against the elite jonin of the Sand Ninja without losing, and assisted Sakumo in defeating the commander of the Sand Ninja. It's really like the waves behind pushing the waves ahead."

While Sarutobi Hiruzen was expressing his feelings, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu had also read Hatake Sakumo's report, and they looked at me with great surprise. Before, they felt puzzled by Sarutobi Hiruzen's attention to and promotion of Minato, Shinichi and me, but now they have to admit Sarutobi Hiruzen's vision.

Seeing that Mitokado En and Utatane Koharu had read the intelligence, Sarutobi Hiruzen started talking about business first: "According to Sakumo's report, if the Sand Ninja does not mobilize other forces from the Wind Country, they should be temporarily unable to invade the River Country again. Based on the current intelligence from the Rain Country, I judge that the Sand Ninja should temporarily stop its actions against the River Country."

"That's true. After the temporary ceasefire with our Konoha, Hanzo of the Salamander has been mainly fighting against Chiyo and Ebizo of the Sand Ninja. Unless the Kazekage comes in person, the Sand Ninja should not have much strength to deploy to the River Country at the moment." Mito Kado En agreed.

"But just in case, Hatake Sakumo cannot withdraw yet. We need him to stay on the front line of the Wind Country to intimidate the Sand Ninjas." said Utane Koharu.

Sarutobi Hiruzen groaned, "Although there are no major battles in the Land of Fire at the moment, the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind still rely on Jiraiya and Sakumo. Even Danzo is stationed in the Land of Lightning. We also have to be on guard against the Land of Water. We still can't let our guard down."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while, then said to the ANBU ninja standing beside him: "Send a message to Kawa no Kuni, tell Sakumo that if the Sand Ninja does not make any unusual moves, keep the status quo for now, and transfer the Konoha ninjas with more serious injuries back to Konoha for treatment and recovery."

"Yes." Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had no further instructions, the Anbu ninja handed the handwritten order to Sarutobi Hiruzen for review. After reading it, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no problem and stamped the Hokage seal. Then the Anbu ninja left the Hokage's office and delivered the order to Hatake Sakumo.
