Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 494 The news spreads widely

"I still want..."

I heard that Wuwei and Yugao had similar opinions.

Shuiyue could only hold back her opinions. If she was unhappy, then she was unhappy. It would only last for a period of time anyway. Shuiyue comforted herself in her heart, and just when Wuwei was about to continue talking about the next tactical arrangements.

"Dong dong dong."

Outside the meeting room.

Suddenly there was a slightly hurried knock on the door.

Wuwei's heart suddenly tightened.

"Come in!"

The words he shouted immediately, his face became a little solemn. At this moment, Wuwei's mind was filled with thoughts like whether something strange had happened in the Sand Village again, or whether some special enemy had arrived.

Shuiyue and Yugao also sat up straight.

Although it has become very weak.

But the Sand Village was once one of the five major countries after all, and the foundation of a great ninja village cannot be ignored. Just like now, it is obviously just a Sand Village, but it can still recruit tens of thousands of ninja armies.

It is unclear whether there will be other hidden cards.

It’s really hard to say.

"Master Wuwei, this is an urgent message from the village. This was conveyed by Master Tianying himself. We have won a great victory over the coalition of three villages. All the ninjas from Konohagakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure who invaded our territory have been annihilated and captured by us!"

The news was indeed shocking, but it was a surprise.

Looking at the light ninja who came in, he handed over a scroll and reported with an expression of uncontrollable surprise and excitement.

Wuwei, Shuiyue and Yugao all entered an extremely short moment of daze, which might even last less than a second.

At the same time, a look of joy appeared on their faces.

"Quick, show it to me!"

Wuwei quickly stood up and took the scroll from the hand of the light ninja below. Shuiyue and Yugao also approached at the same time.

The three of them read ten lines at a glance and quickly finished reading all the information recorded on the scroll. The brilliant battle results described clearly made the smiles on their faces become more and more intense.

They have always firmly believed that their own ninja village will achieve the final victory, and no one can stop their Lord Tenkage, but they were able to defeat the main forces of the three major ninja villages so quickly, kill many middle and high-level figures of the three major ninja villages including the Fourth Raikage and Shimura Danzo, and capture most of the remaining Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Konoha ninjas. This was indeed beyond the three's expectations.

Of course, this is also because the three major ninja villages are too cooperative.

If they really enter in batches and choose different harassment tactics, Menma will have a headache, because the Hikari Village is seriously short of troops and it is impossible to divide the troops to fight. Only by concentrating the troops for a large-scale decisive battle can it be in the interests of the Hikari Village.

Only in this way can we achieve the goal of winning in the shortest time and with the least casualties as expected.

This is the minimum casualty cost.

It refers to both the Hikari ninjas and the ninjas from other ninja villages.

Therefore, being able to successfully defeat the three major ninja villages within one day was truly a result of the cooperation of the three major ninja villages.

"Then it seems that we can take the initiative to attack, right? We must not let these Sand Ninja guys get away."

Shuiyue, who was sitting on the side, had a slightly ferocious look on his face and said eagerly.

In the past few days.

He was really disgusted.

Now Shuiyue just wants to relax.

"Well, we do need to be more proactive. It may take some time for Master Menma to deal with it properly. We really can't let the Sand Village escape from here!"

Wuwei also nodded and said.

They can get the message.

Then the Sand Village should be experiencing the same thing at about the same time. This is not a small-scale invasion war, but a real clash between large-scale ninja armies.

Such an exaggerated battle.

It is absolutely impossible to conceal the news. Not only the Sand Village, but also other small ninja villages will definitely send corresponding reconnaissance personnel to ambush in nearby locations.

Keep abreast of the war results of the great country's ninja village.

It is the way of survival for the small country ninja village.

Being a fence-sitter is not the right choice, but these small country ninja villages can only be fence-sitters, leaning to whichever side the wind is stronger.

This is the most simple choice of the survival of the fittest in the biological world.

If any ninja village gains an advantageous result in the war, or can even directly defeat the opposing side, the fence-sitters will have to follow suit and take action.

The former Kusagakure Village, Takigakure Village, Yugakure Village, and even the Raingakure Village during the period when Hanzo the Salamander existed, which were located adjacent to several major countries, were similar existences.

The status of the five major countries was unshakable in the past.

The same is true in this war now.

The ninja villages of small countries must clearly see which side is the stronger one.

This is even more true for the Sand Village. They are an 'ally' in joint operations, and the basic strategy of the Sand Village must be changed to varying degrees based on the results of the head-on battle between the three major ninja villages.

To put it bluntly, you can't take too much risk, but you can't take too little benefit.

Therefore, the attention paid to the front battlefield is not diminished at all.

In fact.

Wuwei and the others still underestimated the intelligence system of the Great Ninja Village. It was almost half a beat slow. Wuwei had just conveyed the order to the light ninjas in the fortress to assemble and prepare for battle.

In the slightly more distant Sand Village camp.

Maki received the information from his own Anbu members who had gone through great pains to transmit it back in the shortest possible time.

It was not as detailed as the information received by Wuwei and others.

However, it also records the defeat of the main forces of the three major ninja villages, and almost most of the ninjas were either killed or captured.

It can be said that the moment Maki saw the information, his eyes widened instantly and his whole body shook uncontrollably.

That’s a total of more than 30,000 ninja coalition forces.

With the backbone of the three major ninja villages, how could this be such a tragic outcome! ?
Maki had not foreseen the defeat of the three major ninja villages.

Not to mention that Uzumaki Menma can really reach the level of the first Hokage. Even if the information in the rumors is 60% to 70% true, it will be very difficult for their four major ninja villages to win this war.

The statement that individual strength is insignificant in front of the Great Ninja Village must be based on the premise that it does not exceed the limits of human beings.

For example, as powerful as the Third Raikage and the Second Hokage are, they still belong to the category of "human beings". No matter how powerful they are, they still have their limits.

Even the tailed beasts are known as 'natural disasters'.

The five major ninja villages all have corresponding ways to deal with it.

But for people like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, no matter how many people they put on the field, it would be meaningless.

The worst possible situation that Maki had anticipated at the beginning was that Menma's strength was about to reach the level of Hashirama Senju and others.

Their several major ninja villages are destined to be defeated.

But they also have to use their numbers and time to exchange for casualties of Hikari ninjas. As long as they can cripple the Hikari Village, what does it matter if Menma wins! ? Even if it means 10,000 or 20,000 casualties.

As long as they can kill three or four thousand people from the Hikari Village, and beat the Hikari Village to half-crippled, or even suffer a higher level of casualties, the price they paid will be worth it.

This was something that the major ninja villages did not state clearly at the beginning, but everyone knew it.

But now, everything is different from what was expected.

The three major ninja villages were completely defeated in less than a day, and were almost completely destroyed.

Although the spies from the Sand Village did not obtain the most detailed intelligence.

But their investigators have all received the news, so there is no reason why the three major ninja villages would not pass on the news.

Not spreading the news is the worst news.

"asshole!"

Maki bit his lower lip tightly and slammed the table in front of him with a hint of anger.

The main force of the coalition forces with a total of 30,000 troops was defeated, and their Sand Village was definitely unable to hold on alone.

Once Uzumaki Menma led the main force of the Hikari Village.

No.

Even if they sent one or two more Jinchūriki, or directly let the black monster bred from the Box of Paradise that defeated the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails to join the battle, the Sand Village would be skinned alive if it didn't die.

Or the most tragic kind.

"Retreat, you must retreat immediately."

Maki took a deep breath, a look of determination flashed in his pupils. Continuing to waste time would only do harm to their Sand Village.

We must leave here as soon as possible before the support from the Hikari Village arrives. Although our future safety cannot be guaranteed, we can at least get through this difficult time first.

Machi was never one to waver.

After making up his mind, Maki immediately passed down his orders. The Sand Ninjas were too scattered and too dispersed, so this was also to better avoid the threats from Suigetsu, Yugao and others, and to further threaten and harass the heartland of the Grass Country.

Originally, Maki planned to use one or two months to slowly shrink the space for action of the Light Ninjas.

As long as the number of casualties among the Light Ninjas increases.

The threats from Shuiyue, Wuwei and Yugao will also decrease.

Later, going deep into the heart of the Grass Country and threatening the western jurisdiction of the Hikari Village might require three to four thousand or even more casualties, but as long as this goal is achieved, everything will be worth it.

Unfortunately, the plan was forced to be terminated after only two or three days.

It is also because of this arrangement.

Let tens of thousands of Sand Ninjas be distributed throughout the Grass Kingdom.

The size of the largest action force would not exceed three or four hundred people, and most of them would only have dozens or nearly a hundred people. At this moment, the Sand Ninjas stationed in this large camp with Maki are already the largest in number.

There are only about a thousand of them.

It would take half a day to fully convey Machi's order.

"Lord Kazekage, why are we retreating? Our tactics should have worked. The Light Ninjas on the other side were completely led by us. If we retreat now, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?"

Machi's order had just been issued.

On top of the camp.

Yura, who was also one of the senior officials of the Sand Village and the senior ninja in charge of defending the village, was the first to come to the tent where Maki was and asked with a puzzled look.

"Hey, just look for yourself, Yura."

As someone who is of the same generation as me.

Now he is his right-hand man and a very powerful jonin of the Sand Village. Maki is quite polite and respectful towards Yura.

"Ok?"

Looking at the scroll handed over by Maki, Yura was slightly stunned, and took it subconsciously. After spreading it out, when he saw the first line of content, Yura's eyes fixed, and then he quickly browsed through it.

Yura's expression became more and more solemn and shocked.

to the end.

Yura was simply silenced.

The winner was decided in one day!? And the Hikari Village won by a landslide. Are you sure this is not a joke!?

"Lord Fengying, this? Me? Could it be?"

In a moment.

Yura didn't know what to say.

There are more than 30,000 ninja troops.

More than ten years ago, the Third Raikage died under the siege of ten thousand Iwagakure ninjas. Even if Uzumaki Menma was stronger than the Third Raikage, there were indeed so many tailed beasts there, but the number was more than thirty thousand, not three thousand, let alone three hundred!
Yura's mood at this moment cannot be described in ordinary words.

How could such a terrible thing happen!?
"So, do you understand? Yura, we must retreat, otherwise, what awaits us in the Sand Village will be an extremely terrifying purgatory."

Maki said with a soft sigh.

Regardless of whether Uzumaki Menma has really reached the level of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha in the past, since he can forcibly defeat the main forces of the three major ninja villages, he can also easily deal with the Sand Village. There will be no difference here.

They are all beings that I cannot defeat.

Why bother about how strong others are?
It was at this moment that Yura truly felt Maki's helplessness.

Originally, this war was forced to start. The public pressure in the village was very great from the beginning. Ordinary Sand Ninjas could not see the so-called prospects or future risks. They only saw the threats and benefits in front of them.

From beginning to end, Menma and his subordinates from the Hikari Village never actively invaded the Sand Village and did not harm the interests of the Sand Village.

But this is the second time that the Sand Village has launched an attack on the Light Village.

This time they came out in full force, it would be impossible for ordinary Sand Ninjas to understand it.

In other words, Maki still has a certain prestige in the village, and with the endorsement of Chiyo and Ebizo, he can barely integrate a large force to attack.

If everything goes smoothly, that would be fine.

But now?

It was simply a case of starting off strong but ending up weak, and there was also the risk of the Hidden Light Village's wrath. It was really a case of losing the rice while trying to gain nothing.

Even worse is to get yourself involved completely.

"Yes, I understand, Lord Fengying. I will immediately notify all troops to withdraw to the country immediately."

Yura nodded heavily and said.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Yura. Also, remember to contact Konoha as soon as possible. What happens next will depend on the situation on Konoha's side."

Maki nodded and said with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it right away."
