Lord Naruto

Chapter 36 Heavy losses

The rampage of the five-tailed human pillar and the departure of Chiyo and Hanzo left Ohnoki to clean up the mess. It took a lot of money to stop the rampaging five-tailed pillar. Statistics after the war also made Ohnoki want to go berserk and beat people up. Impulsively, nearly a hundred ninjas were lost, but fortunately the losses were all middle and lower-level ninjas. Comparing Konoha's losses with the benefits of this plan, Onoki could still accept it.

What makes Onoki angry is that he would not have lost so many people originally. If those people had helped him stop the rampaging five-tailed human pillar, there would have been no such big losses. Many of them were during the sneak attack on Konoha. He was injured, and was unable to escape due to the violence of the Five-Tailed Human Pillar and died. This was the reason why Ohnoki was angry.

"Hmph! Sure enough, we are the ones who can rely on our own talents. Damn the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Rain really think that the benefits of our Kingdom of Earth are so easy to get. When the time comes, I will definitely make you pay the price." Ohnoki He said through gritted teeth as he looked at the casualty statistics.

"How is the injury of the human power pillar?" Ohnoki asked his subordinates.

"Sir, there is nothing serious about the injury of the human pillar, but he is not in good spirits. There is a big problem. He can easily run away when stimulated. We think it is better to send him back to the village to keep him in custody and continue to stay on the battlefield. It's no longer of much use, and a little carelessness will cause an uncontrollable situation," a ninja reported to Onoki.

"Oh! Okay, let's send him back to the village. Go back to the village and tell the elders who are left behind that if it doesn't work and there is no other way, seal the tailed beast and wait for the next candidate. The four-tailed beasts should also be sent to the village as soon as possible. Find the personnel, and then ask the village to immediately send people through the Country of Grass and go to the War Zone of the Country of Thunder to support Lord Tsuchikage," Onoki ordered.

"Understood, I will make arrangements now." After saying that, he disappeared.

Then continue the arrangement to "The rest of the people will follow the order and send out a ninja force to continue chasing the fleeing ninjas in Konoha. The rest will rest overnight and set out early tomorrow morning to encircle and suppress the remaining fleeing ninjas in Konoha."

"Hi!" The servants responded in unison after hearing Onoki's announcement.

When Uzumaki Zihei and the others arrived, they already understood that they were too late. The original Konoha base camp was now in dilapidated condition. The corpses of Konoha ninjas could be seen everywhere, and those who could move around were all from the Earth Kingdom. Ninjas, when the three of them saw this scene, they couldn't stop crying. The impulsive Matt Dai had already opened the Eight Gates Dungeon and planned to go to the ninjas of the Earth Kingdom desperately. Fortunately, Uzumaki Zihei and Hatake Sakumo were caught. It was held down.

"Dai! Calm down, now is not the time to fight. We must find the remaining Konoha comrades who are still alive as soon as possible and protect them from evacuating," Hatake Sakumo said quickly

"You two, let me go. So many of our Konoha comrades died here. Even the corpses are left unattended. How can you tell me to calm down? Damn it, how can you tell me to calm down?" Matt put it on the two companions' heads. There was nothing I could do to stop him, so I could only yell as hard as I could.

However, the movement of the three people was a little louder, and soon attracted the patrolling Earth Country ninjas.

"Three chuunin are coming here. Dai, please calm down first and don't be impulsive. The most important thing now is to figure out where the surviving companions escaped from. Now is not the time to seek revenge. Protect those who are still alive." That's what we should do now." Seeing someone being attracted to them, Uzumaki Ziping also quickly tried to persuade them.

"Sakumo, please watch Dai first, I'll go take care of those three miscellaneous fishes." After saying that, he walked away. He only heard a few ding-ding-ding sounds coming from the darkness and then became quiet. Soon Uzumaki Zihei was carrying two A comatose ninja returns.

For the current Uzumaki Zihei, the middle genin is like an adult taking care of a child, it can be done in a few or two.

"Let's go, let's leave here first. This place has been noticed, and someone will come here soon." After saying this, the few people disappeared into the night sky.

Finding a safe place, Uzumaki Zihei dumped the unconscious two people to Hatake Sakumo and said, "Sakumo, I'll leave the interrogation of these two people to you. Find out which direction our people fled. It’s up to you to find out what other information you can get.” After saying that, he left with Matt Dai, and it was enough to interrogate Hatake Sakumo alone.

It didn't take long for Hatake Sakumo to come out, "How is it? What's the result?" Matt Dai asked, Uzumaki Zihei also looked at him.

"This time, the Earth Kingdom sent out the Tailed Beast Human Pillar. Chief Shimura was killed in the battle. We Konoha suffered heavy losses. Finally, in U

With the desperate efforts of the former elder of the Chiha family, Uchiha Ryohei, he led the remaining people to evacuate to the Kingdom of Fire, and the Kingdom of Earth has sent people to pursue them," Hatake Sakumo simply stated the information he received.

"Those two have been dealt with. Time is running out and we will continue on our way to find them before the Earth Kingdom." After dealing with all this, the three of them continued on their way.

At night, the evacuees from Konoha were finally found resting in a forest. The arrival of the three people caused some commotion. Fortunately, the three people immediately revealed their identities and were able to enter.

The three of them came to a stretcher and felt very sad when they saw the sleeping old man.

Uchiha Ryohei felt someone coming to him, and opened his eyes slightly, wondering who might be coming. When he saw Uzumaki Zihei, for some reason, he felt much calmer, and said in a small voice, "Little guy, you I'm relieved now that I'm here, I can't do it anymore, and I'll leave the rest to you." After saying that, he fell into a deep sleep again, and Uzumaki Ziping and the others didn't bother him anymore.

After leaving Uchiha Ryohei's stretcher, Uzumaki Zihei knew that he had to take on the responsibility of being a strong man this time, and notified the last seven remaining jounin to come over for discussion.

When waiting for the followers to arrive, Uzumaki Ziping unleashed the pressure that he could only have as a shadow-level powerhouse. There was no way Uzumaki Ziping's qualifications were too shallow to convince others, so at this very moment he could only Being able to show his strength also shows that Uzumaki Ziping is beginning to come to the light.

When the seven people received the notice at first, they were still very angry. This young man had just arrived and wanted to gather them. What did this mean? Don't you think this place is not chaotic enough!

However, when the seven people felt the strong pressure from Uzumaki Ziping, they no longer felt angry at the beginning, and felt relieved. During this period, under the pursuit of the ninjas of the Earth Kingdom, in order to protect everyone's safety Withdrawing, now there are only seven of them left. The pressure on them is really great. They don’t know who will be sacrificed next, so the seven of them came over angrily, feeling the shadow level Under the pressure of the strong man, I instantly felt that the burden on my shoulders was much lighter. This is the influence and appeal of the shadow-level strong man on the battlefield. As long as there is such a strong man, everyone's confidence will not collapse.

When Uzumaki Ziping released the pressure of his shadow-level powerhouse, more and more people felt this powerful pressure. Some people with desperate eyes also showed their glory, and some who were unwilling to be defeated also found their strength. With the belief in their hearts, more and more people came over to see which adult was coming to support them.

More and more figures gathered around Uzumaki Ziping. This was something Uzumaki Ziping didn't expect. When he saw the excited eyes of everyone who had found their backbone and support, Uzumaki Ziping had an inexplicable feeling in his heart and suddenly shouted: "Friends, I am Uzumaki Ziping, the disciple of the First Lord. Now I will protect everyone's safety."

Hearing Uzumaki Ziping's shouts, everyone also shouted, some people even cried with excitement, and the sound echoed in the night sky.

Uzumaki Ziping didn't say much, but arranged for people to take turns to keep vigil, and continued to discuss with the seven leaders, "How many people do we have left in Konoha, how many wounded are there, how many are still fighting, and the losses this time." asked Uzumaki Ziping.

A female jounin named Yuka immediately replied, "Master Ziping, we originally had nearly 2000 ninjas, but nearly 700 of them died in the joint sneak attack between the ninjas of the Three Kingdoms and the tailed beasts, as well as a large amount of materials, and some companions. There are now less than a thousand people who lost their lives in the pursuit of Earth Kingdom. Our losses in Konoha this time are too heavy. There are less than [-] people with fighting strength. Many of our comrades were seriously injured. They all bought time for us during the retreat and chose to die together with the enemy." After saying this, the Tomoka Jounin couldn't help but cry.

Everyone felt particularly uncomfortable and angry when they heard this result. Nearly three thousand companions died here, and there were less than [-] ninjas in Konoha. The losses this time were really heavy. It can be said that the people on the Grass Country side Konoha has lost the battle.

"Okay, now is not the time to be sad. I will report to the second generation and ask the village to send support as soon as possible. The top priority is that we must lead everyone to safely evacuate back to the Land of Fire and wait for reinforcements in the mirror. We already received the information when we came. , the Kingdom of Earth has sent a large number of ninjas to encircle and suppress us."

"Now the seven of you plus the eight of Hatake Sakumo will be divided into four groups to take turns responsible for patrolling, defense and security issues," Uzumaki Ziping said after thinking for a while.

"Let us know, we will start to evacuate early in the morning, let everyone rest, we may encounter pursuers tomorrow." After Uzumaki Ziping made arrangements, he began to think about how to deal with the pursuit of the Kingdom of Earth next.
