Go to Naruto World as a Earth Shadow

Chapter 512 Strategic Adjustment
When Luo Sha, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others arrived at Yitiantian of Sand Ninja Village, they only saw a dilapidated Ninja Village that had been looted.

Luo Sha stood expressionlessly on a hilltop on the edge of the sky, looking at the ruined home, without saying a word for a long time.

On the side, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak, and finally he just sighed.

After a long time, the guards of the two men finished their reconnaissance and came back to report to the two men.

"Master Fengying, there was a big battle in Yixiantian Canyon. From the analysis of the scene, we lost." One of Luo Sha's guards said with a hint of tears.

"Judging from the traces of the battlefield, our companions who fought against the Iwanin army in the first line of sky may not have successfully withdrawn."

"They were flanked back and forth, and they should have all sacrificed or surrendered in the end."

Luo Sha was trembling after hearing this. He forced himself to remain calm and asked, "Do you know the approximate casualty data?"

The guard shook his head and said: "The battlefield was too damaged, and it was also ravaged by the Tailed Beast Jade, so I can't count the specific data, but at least a few thousand people died in battle."

Luo Sha took a deep breath, thousands of people, as Kazekage, he knew what thousands of people meant to Sand Ninja Village.

He asked: "Go to several nearby resettlement sites to see how many people have been transferred."

"And confirm the situation of Ryosuke and Gaara."

"Yes." Several guards quickly dispersed and left after receiving the order.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi also wanted to know the situation of Sand Shinobi after hearing the words, so he also stayed and waited for the replies from several people.

After a while, several guards returned one after another, and there were many sand ninjas who had been transferred in advance, including Maji.

Maki brought back news that Gaara was safe and sound, but there was no whereabouts of Ryosuke.

"Master Kazekage, Ryosuke asked me to take the civilians and children to transfer ahead of time. He took about five thousand ninjas to stop Iwanin in the first line of the sky."

"But until the end of the battle here, no one escaped."

At this moment, Luo Sha's last illusion was shattered.Unable to hold on any longer, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person fell down straight.

Several guards hurried forward to support Luo Sha.

Luo Sha said to Ma Ji: "Maki, gather everyone and go to the south to choose a place to build a new Ninja Village. Let's give up here."

"Send someone to negotiate peace with Iwanin. As long as Iwanin is willing to let Sandin go, other conditions are easy to negotiate."

With tears in his eyes, Markey said, "Yes."

Afterwards, Luo Sha took the initiative to bid farewell to Hiruza Sarutobi and left Yixiantian.

Sarutobi Hirazan watched Luo Sha leave, and suddenly felt that he was witnessing the beginning of a new era.

The fall of Sand Ninja Village had an unimaginable impact on an old man like Hiruzaru Sarutobi.

"Iwanin is getting stronger and stronger. A Dainin village has been captured. This kind of thing has never happened before." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself.

"Is the so-called second-generation policy that I have insisted on all these years wrong?"

"It's me who has been busy fighting internally, which gave Iwa Ninja a chance to rise."

At this time, a figure flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind: Uchiha mirror who was secretly sent away by himself and his friends.

White Fang killed by public opinion.

Orochimaru who was chased away by himself.

Jiraiya who was killed by Kumo and Iwanin in order to follow in the footsteps of Orochimaru.

The Namikaze Minato couple who died trying to seal Kyuubi.

Uchiha Shisui who has lost his kaleidoscope Sharingan.

This will be Uchiha Fugaku who may have died in his own hands.

There is also Uchiha Itachi who is about to become a scapegoat and defect this time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally regretted a bit: "It would be great if these people were still there, and if Konoha could unite like Iwanin."

"My lord, I failed your trust. I shouldn't have sacrificed those heroes who bleed for the village for my own selfish desires."

At this moment, a guard of Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped forward and asked, "Master Sandai, shall we go back to the village?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi's dull eyes slowly focused on the person in front of him, then nodded and said, "Go back."

Taking another look at Sand Ninja Village abandoned by Luo Sha, Hiruzaru Sarutobi set foot on the way back to Konoha Village with a few guards.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi ran for nothing this time, but he always felt blocked by something in his heart.

While Sarutobi Hiruzen was still rushing back, the Konoha army that Tsunade promised Luo Sha to mobilize had already reached the border between Fire and Earth.

It's just that Tsunade has received information from Sarutobi Hiruzen at this time, and Sand Ninja Village is gone.So Konoha's army did not cross the border.

The army only stayed at the border for a while, and when it was confirmed that Iwanin had returned, Tsunade recalled the army along the way.

……

At this time, Yichen had already flown back to Iwanin Village with Zaojie, Uchiha Izumi, and the twenty or so Uchiha children rescued by Kakashi.

Uchiha Izumi temporarily lives outside Iwanin Village. In order to accompany Uchiha Izumi, Zaojie also temporarily moved out of Huangtu's house and temporarily arranged a residence near Uchiha Izumi.

The twenty or so children, like the previous children, were scattered and raised by Yichen among some civilians and middle and lower ninja families in Yanren Village.

Yichen held a high-level meeting when Ohnoki led the army back.

In Tuying's office, Yichen glanced at everyone, and then said to Zao Jie, who was uncomfortable at the meeting for the first time, said with a smile: "Zao Jie, relax, don't be nervous."

"You are still young, it doesn't matter if you don't understand now, just learn from how the seniors handle affairs."

Zao Jie nodded, but was still a little nervous.Letting Zaojie participate in high-level meetings is equivalent to giving him the status of an honorary advisor.

This is not because of the strength of Zao Jie, Zao Jie does not have the real strength of movie level yet.This is done for the entire ninja world to see.

Konoha desperately repelled Uchiha, and in the end he did not hesitate to massacre this largest ninja family.

However, Iwanin is willing to accept Uchiha, and when the Uchiha family has just been destroyed and homeless, let a Uchiha become a high-level, which is singing against Konoha.

Therefore, Ohnoki and others are very polite about early quitting. From this moment on, the children of the Uchiha clan will be treated no worse than the Uzumaki clan in Iwanin.

The Whirlpool Clan has yet to have a real high-level leader.

Sitting next to Zaojie was Matsuya Shinya, an honorary advisor who had the same status as him.

Nobu Matsuya also quietly said to Zaojie: "Brother, don't worry about what Teacher Yichen and the others say, just listen to it. It's very easy to attend this kind of meeting, just take a nap and pass."

Although early quitting is stupid, he was still surprised by Matsutani Shinya's magical brain circuit. He stuttered and asked in a low voice: "Is this really possible?"

Yichen knocked on the office with his hand, and said, "Of course not, don't learn from this slacker, and learn more from Senior Han."

The Han on one side scratched his head in embarrassment. Although he had participated in several high-level meetings, he had never actually done anything.

He felt that although Matsutani Shinya said something strange, the essence seemed to be correct.

Yichen ignored the three honorary advisors, but asked Onogi, "How is the arrangement in the Kingdom of Wind?"

Ohnoki said: "I left [-] ninjas in the land of the wind country, chose an oasis with a good location, and prepared to establish a branch of the wind country."

Yichen looked at the location Ohnoki pointed at, frowned and said, "The Kingdom of Wind is really big, this branch has to manage half of the Kingdom of Wind, the pressure is still too great."

"How about this, assign a small area to the north and east of the Kingdom of Wind to Nagato of the Kingdom of Rain."

"The Akatsuki organization is our ally. This time we rashly sent troops to take down Sand Ninja Village, which violated the agreement between us. This territory is regarded as compensation."

"More than half of the west will choose another place to establish a branch."

Yi Cang said: "Then Wu Ninja Village should also express it."

Yichen shook his head and said, "This is exactly the topic of today's meeting, and we will discuss it later."

"After taking away a large area, the area managed by the Kingdom of the Wind branch is still too large, and 500 people are not enough."

"In addition, the construction of the new branch also requires a lot of manpower. Let's do this, and transfer another thousand ninjas from the village."

"The other branches should have lost some personnel this time, and some of them have been intercepted in the Kingdom of the Wind branch. There are more or less vacancies."

"These vacancies will be reserved first, and will be filled after the new batch of ninja school students graduate."

After finishing speaking, Yichen looked at Zhi Zihui and asked, "Is this enough to adjust the manpower?"

Zhi Zihui nodded and said: "Enough, there were a lot of new graduates last year. Although I have lost some in the Land of Wind and the Land of Bears these days, it is still acceptable."

"It's just that once the research on the little white ball you mentioned last time starts, a large number of people will inevitably be recruited from various departments. By then, there will be insufficient manpower."

Yichen nodded and said, "Don't worry, Little Baiqiu's research won't recruit so many people at once, and it won't need so many people at the beginning."

"By the time the research group slowly expands, the new graduates will have graduated long ago."

Zhi Zihui nodded and said: "By the way, the students who graduated last year grew up very quickly in the actual combat between the Wind Country and the Bear Country."

"Would you like to arrange for the new graduates to graduate early? We just need to clean up this large area in the northern part of the Windy Kingdom."

"Bandits, wandering ninjas, and traitors are all good training objects. Don't waste such a large area."

Yichen thought for a while and nodded, and said, "Then arrange for them to graduate early, and then this Chunin exam will also be held earlier, let's arrange it in a few days."

Zhi Zihui nodded and said, "No problem."

Yichen continued: "Did Luo Sha take the initiative to send someone over for peace talks? This time, if I ask Sha Ren for more things, Luo Sha will definitely give it to me."

Chuanbei said: "We have evacuated Sand Ninja Village, and Luo Sha has nothing to show for it."

Yichen said: "This is easy to handle, let Luo Sha use Jinsha to pay the war reparations."

"The amount is the amount that I vaporized with the light escape in Konoha."

"Tell Luo Sha, tell him clearly, from now on, we rock ninja will not target sand ninja again."

"If this is not the case, we Rock Ninja will also help their Sand Ninja Village keep its position as one of the six great Ninja Villages."

Yi Cang and Chuanbei looked at each other, thinking: "Sure enough, the three generations of adults have guessed it right."

Yichen continued: "In the future, Sand Ninja will not be a concern. At least for a few years, Sand Ninja will not pose a threat to us. Even if Konoha and Cloud Ninja have a chance to hit us hard during this period, Sand Ninja will have to think carefully if they want to intervene."

"Don't let the more than 1000 captives of Sand Ninja go back, but keep them to help us build a branch. When necessary, you can also help our newcomers practice their hands."

"Wait for two years for Sand Ninja to recover and then put it back."

Ming was a little worried, and asked, "Put them all back? Will you let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Yichen said: "Putting it back now is of course letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Sand Ninja will be at a time when manpower is most scarce."

"But in the next few years, even if Sand Ninja's funds are short, there will be a large number of new recruits. After Sand Ninja has replenished new recruits, we will put these more than 1000 people back."

"At that time, Luo Sha will still have a headache about how to support these people. He will only have a headache because there are too few tasks, not enough for the sudden extra ninjas."

"Okay, let's talk about Konoha. Does Konoha have any accurate information? Is there anything wrong in Kaji Mountain? Has he sent back any useful information?"

Saka shook his head and said: "They are under house arrest in Kajiyama, all their external channels have been cut off, and they can only communicate with the village through spiritism."

"Kajiyama and the others can't inquire about Konoha's information. Now we can only get the news that Konoha deliberately disclosed to the public."

"The Uchiha clan has been exterminated, and Konoha claims to the outside world: Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui and other Uchiha clansmen are all dead."

"There are only two brothers Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke left in the entire Uchiha family. Konoha pushed the crime to Uchiha Itachi, and it is said that this incident was endorsed by the only survivor, Uchiha Sasuke."

After listening to Saka, everyone looked at Zaojie who was downcast with his head down, but no one deliberately interrupted the discussion for Zaojie.

Yichen nodded, and said: "Uchiha Shisui should not be dead, but it is unlikely that Uchiha Fugaku is alive."

After a pause, Yichen said: "It's just that, I don't know if Uchiha Fugaku's eyes will be transplanted to Uchiha Shisui."

Saka was stunned for a moment, he hadn't expected this.

Yichen asked: "Where is Hatake Kakashi? I killed a team of Konoha Anbu and blamed him. Has Konoha sent any information related to him?"

Saka shook his head and said, "No, I haven't received any information related to Hatake Kakashi."

Yichen thought for a while, and said: "Find a way to make this matter public in Konoha, so that Kakashi can't stay in Konoha."

"You can ask Danzang for help with the propaganda. Danzang should be happy to help us. By the way, do you have any recent information about Danzang?"

Saka said with a strange face: "Yes, there are many. Basically, Danzo himself promoted it."

"The intelligence claims that Danzo alone easily repelled the army led by Ikura and Kawakita."

Yi Cang and Chuanbei looked at each other, both a little speechless, the two walked around the border between Fire and Earth, and went to the Kingdom of Bear after performing a scene.

The two didn't even see Danzo's face, and Danzo actually had the face to publicize this matter.

Saka continued: "Konoha is spreading the word now. Originally, our attack target was Konoha Village. But after being beaten back by Danzo, we chose Sand Ninja Village as the next best thing."

"In addition, Danzo also proposed that Tsunade belongs to the Senju clan, and she was jealous of the Uchiha clan, so she allowed the Uchiha clan to be exterminated by Uchiha Itachi."

"Then Danzo also proposed to train Uchiha Sasuke himself, but this seems to have failed."

Yichen smiled, and said, "Danzo is really surprisingly capable. Next, I will help Danzo in the negotiation with Konoha."

"Continue to increase Danzo's prestige in Konoha, and if necessary, you can even ask for less compensation from Konoha."

Zhi Zihui blinked and asked, "Compensation for Konoha? We didn't have a real battle with Konoha, and Konoha was not defeated. How could they agree to compensate us?"

Yichen smiled, did not explain, and said, "Send someone to talk to you first."

"Next, let's talk about Mist Ninja, or, let's talk about the village's future strategy."

"After the capture of Sand Ninja Village, the situation in the ninja world has changed again."

"The temporary withdrawal of Sand Ninja is inevitable. In this way, the alliance between Konoha, Cloud Ninja, and Sand Ninja will no longer exist."

"The hostile alliance no longer exists, and it's hard to say whether our alliance with Akatsuki and Mist Ninja can still be maintained."

"It stands to reason that Mist Ninja may abandon us now and directly cooperate with Konoha and Yun Ninja."

"But I don't know what that old fox, Mist Ninja Genshi, thinks. Mist Ninja's attitude still needs to be tested."

"That's why I didn't call Wunin for this operation, and I didn't share the cake with Wunin this time."

Having said that, Yichen slowed down, giving everyone a time to digest.

After a while, Yichen continued: "Next, let's discuss our key targets for suppression in the future."

Saka said: "Six Great Ninja Villages, the sand ninjas have been suppressed, and the Akatsuki organization is the target."

"Whether Mist Ninja is on our side or not in the end, they cannot be the target of our suppression. Mist Ninja Village is too far away."

"In this way, we actually only have two choices, either suppress Konoha or suppress Yunnin."

Yichen nodded and said, "That's right, who do you think is the right choice?"

Ming said: "The three shadow-level Yunin, how many Konohas are there now?"

Ohnoki said: "Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Danzo. Except for these three, the situation of Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui is uncertain."

"In addition, although Uchiha Itachi and Orochimaru are Konoha's rebels, they will still stand by Konoha's side at critical times."

"This is the same even if Hatake Kakashi defected."

After hearing Onoki's words, Mei looked at the strongman of Iwanin Village present here, and said, "So, Konoha's strength is actually not weaker than ours."

Except for Lao Zi, Iwanin has Kage-level strength, and everyone else is here.

They are Yichen, Ohnoki, Ikura, Huangtu, Chuanbei, Han, Matsutani Shinya, and Zaojie.

It is still a little bit reluctant to quit early.

The total number of shadow levels of Yannin is slightly more than that of Konoha, but Yannin also has more enemies, so there is almost no advantage against Konoha.

Ming then said: "From this point of view, it seems too difficult to suppress Konoha, so I can only choose Yun Ren first."

But Saka said: "It can't be calculated like this. Although Konoha has lost the Uchiha clan, there is still Danzo. Konoha is still not united."

"And Uchiha Itachi and Orochimaru are rebellious ninjas after all, even if they have a heart for Konoha, they can't be completely treated as Konoha ninjas."

"We are just suppressing Konoha, not going to war with Konoha. There is no need to count these traitors."

"I think that instead of suppressing the united cloud ninja, it is better to continue to divide Konoha."

Both Ikura and Kawakita nodded, Zhi Zihui thought about it and felt that what Saka said made sense.Others hold the same view.

Yichen looked around and said, "It seems that everyone agrees to suppress Konoha, so that's it. Next, the strategic goal of the village will be shifted from Sand Ninja to suppress Konoha."

"Before we suppressed Sand Ninja, our method was to attack the economy of Sand Ninja Village. Let's talk about suppressing Konoha. What is the focus of our attack?"

There was no need to discuss this time, and everyone said in unison: "Infighting!"

Yichen said: "Okay, we have a direction. The main way to suppress Konoha is to provoke Konoha to fight within."

"What are the specific methods, let's discuss."

After a long time, the discussion ended, and Yichen said: "In the future, we will focus on attacking Konoha according to the methods discussed today."

"Yes." Everyone should be.

Then Yichen looked at Zaojie and asked, "Zaojie, what happened to Izumi Uchiha, do you think it is possible for her to join Iwanin Village?"

Zaojie shook his head and said, "Not yet, sister Quanluo is still very repulsive to the village."

"But with the children we saved, she won't be hostile to the village."

Yichen nodded, and said: "Well, Uchiha Izumi will arrange to live outside the village. If you quit early, you can visit him more often."

"When you have time, take your younger brothers and sisters to get close to her. Not only your Uchiha children, but also the Uzumaki clan's children, Neji, Kurama Yakumo and others."

"If she wants to see those children, she can also enter the village with you."

Zao Jie nodded and said, "I see."

Yichen said: "Okay, the heavy topic is over, let's talk about what everyone has gained this time."

Everyone looked at Ming first.

Ming also smiled slightly, and said: "The large amount of supplies brought back from Sand Ninja Village has been counted. This is the biggest benefit of the village over the years."

"Even if it is the poorest Ninja Village among the Great Ninja Villages, the wealth accumulated in Sand Ninja Village far exceeds Tang Ninja Village."

These materials are currently still in the Kingdom of the Wind, and I plan to set aside some of them for the construction of the Kingdom of the Wind branch, and ship all the rest back.

This part of the material is enough for the little white ball to experiment for a while.

Everyone laughed.

Seeing this, Yichen took out a few scrolls given by Uchiha Fugaku, and said, "This is the wealth accumulated by the Uchiha clan. I plan to take out [-]% and give it to early warning."

"Let the early precepts be assigned to train those Uchihas scattered in the village."

"Everything else will be confiscated. Of course, some contribution value will be given to the Uchiha clan. In the future, these children can exchange for ninjutsu when they grow up."

Everyone nodded.

Zhi Zihui asked curiously: "Mr. Yichen, where did you get these scrolls?"

Yichen said: "Fuyue Uchiha gave it to me. He asked me to take care of his two sons."

"In the future, if you have a chance, brainwash Uchiha Sasuke, tell him the truth about the genocide, and let him know his brother's difficulties. Don't hate his brother, just return Uchiha Fugaku's favor."

Crowd: ...

Never seen such a brazen person.

Tell Uchiha Sasuke the truth, is this taking care of him?This is pushing him into the fire pit.

If the Konoha executives knew that Uchiha Sasuke knew the truth, would he let him grow up?
However, everyone did not speak, but looked at the scrolls pretending to be curious, as if they were very curious about the wealth accumulated by the Uchiha clan.
