Naruto's Dark Dawn

"I want this corpse."

Suddenly, when Qianye was thinking about something, Xie who was not far from Qianye said lightly.

After recovering from the memories, Qianye raised her eyebrows slightly.

To be honest, Qianye doesn't really want Xie to become too strong and escape his control.

Although Huangtu is not a blood-successor ninja right now, with his knowledge of the development of earth-dun nature, as long as he modifies it a little, he will become a powerful human puppet similar to the third generation of Kazekage.

Although Huangtu's strength is undoubtedly inferior to that of the third Kazekage, his defensive power is definitely among the top in the ninja world, and it will undoubtedly be a great supplement to the strength of the scorpion.

But, no matter what, Xie is also Qianye's current subordinate in name, and Qianye can't refuse Xie's proposal.

"can."

After casually handing Huangtu's body to Xie, Qianye silently led the Xueren and walked towards Xueren Village by detour from the other side.

Although handing over Huangtu's body to Scorpion will give Scorpion a considerable increase in strength, he will probably become stronger in the near future. With Scorpion's ability, even adding Huangtu's human puppets will probably be difficult to deal with. self-inflicted threat.

Of course, with the defensive ability of this new puppet, it would be difficult for Qianye to defeat Scorpion if it really fought.

In fact, Orochimaru next to him is also quite interested in this powerful corpse of Huangtu. After all, this kind of ninja with a strong body, even a corpse, is definitely a rare experimental material.

However, Orochimaru also knew that this puppet was far less valuable in his hands than in Xie's hands. In addition, Huang Tu's body did not have the ability to inherit blood, which made it a little difficult for Orochimaru to arouse interest.

Therefore, Orochimaru chose to give up this rare material to Scorpion.

Naturally, Scorpion will compensate Orochimaru with something in the future, without even needing to say anything, this is already their tacit understanding.

Half a day later, Qianye returned to Xueren Village with many Xueren.

The rock ninjas and fog ninjas who had previously occupied this place had long since disappeared.

Walking through Xueren Village all the way, Chiba found that the entire Xueren Village was basically well preserved.

Well, their Ninja Village, which is made of pure ice and snow, has almost nothing to destroy, and it is worthless.

In addition, the various defensive devices not only did not decrease, but even increased, and even Chiba and the others found some extra supplies.

It can only be said that Yannin and Wunin never expected that the defeat would come so suddenly, and they even planned to strengthen Xueren Village and use Xueren Village as a strong defense base.

In the end, they withdrew too hastily, and there was no time to make any small moves.

After resting slightly for a long time, Chiba and Orochimaru split into two groups, and began to chase the teams of Iwanin and Mistnin separately.

On the other side, the surviving Iwanin and Wunin troops at this moment are full of dead silence.

In this battle, Iwanin invested about 500 people, and Mistnin invested more than 6000. The cumulative number of both sides reached almost 1.

In the half-year war of attrition, they suffered 4000 casualties. In the offensive and defensive battle of Xueren Village, they suffered another 2000 casualties. Although nearly half of the 3000 people were only seriously injured but did not die, they were far worse than dead. Bring them the burden of endurance.

In the final battle, Chiba used an avalanche plan to directly kill 4000 people again, and the death toll even exceeded the sum of the previous half a year.

Cumulatively, the number of casualties on both sides has almost reached 1.

At the time of the expedition, there were 6000 or [-] people in each of Iwanin and Wunin's high-spirited families, but in the end, only about a thousand people were left to fight.

This is definitely a traumatic blow to any ninja village.

Especially at this moment they have not completely recovered from the cruel three ninja battles.

To put it bluntly, half of the elite strength of each ninja village has been lost.

Here, although the number may be only one-third of the combat strength of his own Ninja Village, considering the elite level of this group of expedition personnel, half the strength is not an exaggeration.

In the Iwanin team, the third Tsuchikage and a group of high-ranking Tsuchikages who escaped from death remained silent.

After a long silence, the Third Tsuchikage spoke with some difficulty: "Are we really going to give up on so many strongholds we have built... As far as I know, there are only less than two thousand combatable members of the Snow Ninja left. If our 1000 people hold the stronghold and wait for reinforcements to follow, they may not be unable to have another chance to turn defeat into victory..."

After hearing the words of the Third Tsuchikage, the surrounding senior Iwa ninjas looked at each other for a moment and then shook their heads: "Lord Tsuchikage... this battle can no longer be fought... the people below have already... "

Although the senior man didn't finish his sentence, Tsuchikage already understood what he meant.

They are afraid, these rock ninja troops who have experienced many battles and are not afraid of death are afraid of the prestige of Chiba and Xue Nin.

The last big avalanche before has undoubtedly completely destroyed the courage of these rock ninjas. Perhaps, with the passage of time, they can recover, but there is no doubt that they really don't have the courage to fight anymore.

Thinking of this, Sandai Tsuchikage clenched his fists tightly.

He could probably understand that this was their last chance to defeat Xue Ren and Chiba.

This retreat, I don’t know when it will be when I come back next time. This time, there are only 4000 Xueren, and they are exhausted by using the environment here. At that time, facing Xueren with more numbers and strength, It will be difficult for them to break into Xue Ren's inner lane.

And the few strongholds that are being built all the way now cost them an unknown amount of blood, but now they have to give up in embarrassment, and they will even become obstacles to their attack on Xue Ren in the future.

If possible, the three generations of Tukage really don't want to retreat. Obviously they still have the strength to continue fighting, but they are demoralized, and it is difficult for them to exert their due strength.

The third generation even somewhat understood that these high-level officials did not want to continue fighting, and his current state was also very dangerous. Although the heavy loss this time was due to Chiba's clever strategy, it was also his dereliction of duty.

Originally, people's hearts were fluctuating because of this. If he continued to go his own way, the position of the third generation Tuying might come to an end.

After a long silence, Sandai Tsuchikage helplessly let go of his hand and sighed.

"Okay... let's retreat..."

One day later, on the big ship returning to the Land of Earth, three generations of Tuying were crying.

He probably understands that being forced to leave this time will undoubtedly bring endless crises to the future Iwanin Village, but he is powerless to change this reality, and the pain of bereavement and so many Iwainin ninjas who died here, No doubt it also hit him hard.

Especially thinking that the cause of all this was his wrong decision to provoke Chiba and Akatsuki, the third generation was even more heartbroken.

"puff--"

The third Tsuchikage, who was still unhealed from his injuries, spat blood again.

On the other side, on the ship where the Mist ninja army retreated, Yakura, the leader of Mist ninja, was extremely calm at this moment, looking like a general.

Well, Kiri Ninja killed so many people, it would be nice if Obito behind Yagura didn't have fun.

Looking at the Mist ninjas in front of him, Yagura said indifferently: "This time, although we failed miserably, I also discovered many shortcomings of our Mist ninjas. Don't be depressed. One day in the future, we Mist ninjas will definitely rise again. ..."

After barely building up some morale, Yagura continued: "In order to improve our combat effectiveness and enhance our strength, I think it is necessary for us to implement a new plan..."

Faced with Yagura's rather strange plan, the senior management of Mist Ninja hesitated for a long time, and reluctantly agreed.

On the one hand, Yagura's long-term coercion is indeed very heavy, and on the other hand, although some of the methods are more cruel, but at this moment Kiri Ninja is indeed weakened to the extreme, and perhaps it is indeed necessary to adopt some special methods to become stronger.

It's just that they don't know how many people have been killed and how many geniuses of Mist Ninja have been driven away by this plan to turn Mist Ninja into the Blood Mist.
