Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 55: The Unsolvable Minato Namikaze

The appearance of Minato Namikaze not only rescued Kushina Uzumaki from Ye's hands, but also caught Kirigakure off guard.

The almost perfect strategy of defending the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki alone at night and allowing the other Kirigakure forces to attack the rest of the Konoha camps became a joke because of the appearance of Minato Namikaze.

It even becomes its best performance stage.

Even if Ye sent out the retreat signal flares and conveyed the retreat order as soon as possible, it was still too late.

Because they were in different camps, the launch of the flare at Misawa Bridge could not be seen by other camps, so several messengers were needed to release the flares in succession.

In addition, among the leaders of each position, there would inevitably be one or two people like Kaguya Jonin, who were eager for quick success and was eager for quick results. This led to delays in the retreat and allowed Minato Namikaze to complete his perfect debut on the Mist Hidden Mountain battlefield.

"Nearly two hundred Kirigakure warriors were killed, including forty Kirigakure jonin! The troops attacking Kazama and Tani were completely wiped out!"

Inside the Mist Hidden Position.

Yagura's hands were tightly focused on the battle situation, his eyes were bloodshot.

"That's impossible. How could Minato Namikaze appear in the Kirigakure battlefield? Aren't they afraid that Ōnoki will take this opportunity to launch a massive attack?!"

No one spoke in the huge Mist Hidden Tent; everyone was silent.

The night also remained silent.

Before Yagura arranged this battle plan, Ye had warned Minato Namikaze of this possible threat, but at that time Yagura was full of confidence and believed that Minato Namikaze would not appear on the battlefield.

But the facts were just as Ye had expected.

Because of the appearance of Minato Namikaze, not only was the seriously injured Nine-Tails Jinchuriki taken away by him, but the Hidden Mist also lost hundreds of ninjas at one time!
Coupled with the previous losses, the current situation of the Kirigakure side is already precarious!

There are only a few Kirigakure's troops left!

Among the five major countries, Konoha is undoubtedly the one with the strongest military force. In several Ninja World Wars, Konoha was always facing one-on-many odds, but its military force was not reduced at all.

The second is Iwagakure.

At the beginning of the Third World War, Iwagakure sent out tens of thousands of ninjas at once to hunt down the Third Raikage, which shows their strength!
Among the remaining Kumogakure and Sand Village, Kumogakure is average, but its military strength is at least six or seven thousand.

Although there are few people in Sand Village, they have puppets to make up the numbers.

On the other hand, Kirigakure.

Under the blood mist policy, Kirigakure's overall population is pitifully small, let alone its military strength.

The total strength of the frontline at present is no more than two thousand men. Two consecutive heavy losses have directly caused Kirigakure to lose hundreds of manpower. This is already a serious blow to Kirigakure!
Almost everyone is dying, why are we still fighting?
"The responsibility for this battle lies with me. It was my arrogance and willfulness that led to this outcome."

Yagura took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He looked around the tent and finally set his sights on Ye: "Ye, although you are young, you are extremely outstanding in both strength and strategic vision."

"If I had listened to your advice before deploying this tactic, this result would not have happened... I have reported everything that happened to the Third Generation Master, and I have decided, Ye, I have decided to hand over the command of the front line to you. You will lead us to continue the next battle!"

"what?!"

"No, Lord Yagura!"

"Please think twice, Lord Yagura!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole tent was in an uproar, and even Ye was surprised, obviously he didn't expect Yagura to say such a thing. But soon, Ye understood the logic behind it and secretly cursed Yagura as an old fox.

Up to now in this war, he has made great achievements. Apart from anything else, just killing Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, is enough to allow Ye to rise to a high position in the future development of Kirigakure.

On the other hand, Yagura's successive strategic mistakes caused Kirigakure to suffer a great loss of strength. If it weren't for the appearance of Ye, Kirigakure would probably have lost the capital to continue fighting Konoha.

This time Yagura will hand over the command to Ye. If in the next war, Ye can lead Kirigakure to defeat Konoha and continue to expand the results, then Yagura's dereliction of duty will be infinitely reduced with the victory of the war. At most, he will be demoted to a small position, and will be promoted again in two years. There is no problem.

But if Ye still cannot win the war after taking over the command, then not only will Ye have to bear the loss of the war, but even the losses caused by Yagura may also be counted on Ye!

"You really are worthy of being the fourth generation of the original work. You are amazing!"

Ye's eyes flickered, and he immediately refused loudly: "Lord Yagura, no! This is just my first time participating in a war of this magnitude. I have no qualifications and no experience. How can I be qualified to take over the command?"

"Besides, although there were some losses in this battle, Lord Yagura's layout was flawless. Who would have thought that Konoha would ignore the stability of the Iwagakure battlefield and force Minato Namikaze to rush here? Therefore, this battle was not Lord Yagura's fault, so you don't have to worry about it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone echoed them.

"Master Ye is right. There is absolutely no problem with the strategic layout plan for this battle. It's just that Konoha is too cunning!"

"Yes, Lord Yagura. Besides, although we suffered huge losses in this battle, Konoha suffered as well. Lord Ya severely injured the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the warriors of Kazama and Tani also brought huge losses to Konoha. The advantage of this war is still on our side!"

"Everyone..."

Yagura's face was full of emotion, and with that baby face, it was quite lethal: "I understand, but I am not to blame for this battle. I will take all the responsibilities, but the most urgent task is to formulate a strategy to deal with the enemy first."

But unfortunately, facing Minato Namikaze who controlled the time and space ninjutsu, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who was a humanoid nuclear weapon, the group of men in the big tent racked their brains but could not come up with any good solution.

If they disperse their forces, they will be attacked by Minato Namikaze.

But they couldn't gather all their forces, after all, there was a tailed beast on the other side. If they gathered all their forces, and a tailed beast ball came from the other side, they might be wiped out...

The group then encountered Minato Namikaze several more times on the front line, but everyone was frightened by the elusive Flying Thunder God Technique. The opponent came and went without a trace and there was no way to deal with him.

Even if Ye took action.

But the other party seemed to understand how difficult Ye was to deal with and did not confront Ye head-on.

Wherever Ye appears, Minato Namikaze will immediately evacuate and fight in another place!
Ye has also thought about exchanging homes with the other party. If you, Minato Namikaze, target my Kirigakure, then I will go straight to the heart of the matter and target your Konoha.

But Kirigakure's pitifully small military force could not support him to do so!

Under these circumstances, not only did Kirigakure fall into a stalemate in the battle situation, but even the initiative in their hands was gradually lost...

The Kirigakure side finally understood the pain of the Iwagakure, but unfortunately, no one could do anything about it.

This situation continued for several days until Yagura called Ye into the big tent again.

"Ye, this is the secret order from Mizukage-sama, and the latest mission."

"If we can complete this task, we should be able to break the current deadlock!"

Yagura handed over an opened scroll. Ye took it and just took a glance at it, then his eyes narrowed.

"Three tails..."
