The jonin's faces turned grim.
That Uchiha Jerry was worthy of being the strongest summoning beast in the Yugen Village. He even fought on par with his own Fourth Hokage.
And that Qingxu Mantis is uncontrollable on the battlefield.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if any of the three ninjas faced it alone, they would be helpless! Even if Minato Namikaze wanted to kill it, it would probably take a lot of effort! To find the flaws in its spatial ability and the loopholes in its combat habits.
No one spoke in the "command center" and everyone fell into silence.
Seeing this, the dissatisfaction in Minato Namikaze's eyes became even more difficult to conceal.
"Since everyone knows their own limitations, I will be honest with you. With only 12,000 ninjas left here, we are...
If we engage in a fierce battle with the summoning beast troops of the Land of Hot Water next time, we will have no chance of winning! The casualties will only be greater! What's more serious is that they will take the initiative to attack and continuously weaken our combat effectiveness, trapping the Konoha ninjas below in the Land of Fire, making us lose our fighting spirit in the endless war and eventually perish in despair! "
Minato Namikaze used cold and cruel words to reveal Shangguan Mo's true purpose.
The opponent's main strategy is to gradually erode the enemy's defenses. Not only are they gradually pushing down the defenses set up by the Konoha Ninjas on the front line of the Fire Country, but they are also gradually destroying the Konoha Ninjas' determination and will to fight to protect the village!
After hearing this, the jonin of Konoha couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end and their bodies stiffened.
Because if it were them, facing such a similar strategy, it would seem like a dead end with nowhere to escape!
Under this situation, it seems that human power is unable to reverse the situation!
The command center was dead silent.
"So, I think agreeing to that person's conditions is actually a feasible thing to do?" Fugaku suddenly spoke at this time.
Shisui frowned slightly, as if he had guessed something, and looked at him with a surprised expression. "Chief, are you saying that you agree to cede a large area of land in the northern part of the Fire Country?"
As if he didn't hear the anger hidden in Shisui's words, he spoke to himself. "Rather than continuing to fight and being defeated, it is better to admit our shortcomings and cede territory to survive! Let the people of Konoha and the Land of Fire have a break. During the days of recuperation, we will slowly find a way to defeat the soup ninja!"
"This is the answer I want to hear! Even if Patriarch Fugaku's words sound cruel, this is the reality!"
Minato Namikaze's words made Shisui, who was about to retort, shut his mouth instantly.
After hearing this, some of the Konoha jonin who had come to their senses looked ashamed and then gradually became serious, as if they had realized some extremely terrifying possibility.
"The enemy didn't send out all their forces in every battle. They only sent out one-third or one-half of their forces, in order to train their troops."
Fugaku's next words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
The expressions of the Konoha jonin present couldn't help but change.
Could it be that the purpose of using our front-line camp in the Yugu Village as bait is not to destroy us all at once, but to attract more Konoha reinforcements to come and reinforce, and eventually eliminate our Konoha's living combat power step by step?
Only a few people understood his true meaning.
"The Yugen Village only sent out less than half of its combat force and defeated Konoha!"
This is a very cruel reality, so cruel that most Konoha ninjas are unwilling to admit it, and even dare not think deeply about it!
You know, they are the Konoha Village, the number one ninja village in the ninja world!
Why did they lose to a village that had only been in existence for less than ten years? They were even easily defeated by less than half of the enemy's troops.
The long-standing pride of the Konoha ninjas made them unable to bear such a huge gap!
The command center fell into deathly silence again.
"Right now, we only have two options left. The first is to retreat immediately, withdraw from the Fire Country battlefield, and set up a defense line at the main location of Konoha Village.
But in this case, the Fire Country may suffer huge losses in an instant, and even the Daimyo will find it difficult to settle the matter! Our Konoha Village may become an isolated island without the support of any country from now on."
Namikaze Minato sighed helplessly.
"So, what's the other option?" Shisui couldn't help but ask.
"Take the initiative to admit defeat and cede land to seek peace, so as to buy precious buffer time for the village. Later, we can pay a huge price and unite with other ninja villages to effectively contain the Hot Spring Village."
Namikaze Minato said in a calm tone.
The Konoha jonin present all changed their expressions.
After displaying such terrifying combat power, the Yugen Village will undoubtedly be strongly feared by major countries, who are afraid that they will become the next Fire Nation.
Therefore, this gave Minato Namikaze a good opportunity to unite various countries.
So that Konoha does not have to face the huge pressure of the Tang Ninja alone.
Although this is undoubtedly a huge blow to Konoha's reputation, it is definitely the most practical interest and the best way to preserve Konoha Village's decades-long foundation.
Seeing that everyone present was silent again, Minato Namikaze sneered, waved his hand and stood up.
"Since no one is talking, let's vote as usual. Shisui, you take charge!"
"This is!"
Minato Namikaze walked out of the makeshift command post, stared at the smoke rising above the ruins, and fell into deep silence.
Is he...really wrong?
The fact that the Fourth Hokage's wife and teacher died, and Konoha is in its current state, seems to be directly related to his arrogance when he was young...
......
Chapter 708 Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes?
Late at night.
Northwest of the Land of Earth, close to the border of the Land of Earth.
Endless loess fills the vast sky, and the dry moonlight pours down, adding a bit of warmth to this lonely loess plateau.
Accompanied by continuous whistling sounds coming from the distant sky.
The tranquility here was broken in an instant.
under the moonlight.
Hundreds of Rock Ninjas moved fully armed, some riding the Pegasus purchased from the Kingdom of Hot Springs into the sky, others performing the "Super Light and Heavy Rock Technique" to allow themselves to move quickly in the sky.
There is no doubt that this is the most elite force in the Iwagakure Village.
The leader was none other than the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, who was flying at the front of the team, leaving the crowd far behind.
There is no doubt that it was the air force from the Land of Demons that broke the tranquility of the fortress.
They seemed to be heading somewhere very quickly, and there was a strong sense of urgency on their faces, as if they had something urgent to do.
"Lord Tsuchikage!"
An Anbu riding a Pegasus suddenly appeared and spoke very quickly.
"At twelve o'clock, we have confirmed the whereabouts of two members of the Akatsuki organization. They are ten kilometers away from us, and their target seems to be directly targeting Lord Han!"
Hearing this, Ohnoki's face tightened and he made a decision instantly.
"Notify the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 6th battalions in the rear to follow up with all their strength! The 8th to 12th battalions will surround them from the left wing, and the 4th and 7th battalions will outflank from the right to block all the escape routes of the two Akatsuki rebels! How dare you plan to attack the Jinchuriki of the Iwagakure Village? You are simply courting death!!!"
Before the angry words fell, Ōnoki's figure suddenly accelerated, turned into a phantom and disappeared on the spot.
After receiving the notice, the Iwagakure ninjas from various teams showed angry expressions on their faces.
Even though they have left the village, the prestige of the two Jinchuriki within the Iwagakure Village is beyond the imagination of others!
Just as the army was rushing off to battle, in a dark corner of the ground below they were flying over, a figure silently emerged from the distorted air.
He looked up, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink when he saw the neatly-organized flying troops in the night sky.
"As expected of the Iwagakure Village, that old man Ohnoki actually quietly assembled such an air combat unit..."
Although for him who has mastered the time and space ninjutsu, such special forces cannot cause him too much trouble.
But compared to ordinary ninja troops, the destructive power that this air combat force can exert is beyond their imagination!
"Next, let's just pray that those two guys can move faster..."
Ōnoki, who possesses the Dust Release, is a super-powerful ninja that even he is unwilling to fight! Among the six contemporary Kage, he is one of the two beings he fears the most.
Add to that this 800-man air combat force, if a fight breaks out, it is very likely that he will not show up.
Take a moment to identify the direction.
The three-blade fan-shaped Sharingan under the mask began to rotate, forming a strange pattern that looked like a sickle and a windmill, flashing a blood-red light in the darkness.
The surrounding space twisted and deformed again, and his figure merged into the spatial fluctuations that were quickly smoothed out.
......
Under the dark night.
A sturdy man wearing a black hat and special armor was leaning against a branch at the top of the tree with his eyes closed and sleeping soundly.
suddenly!
A pair of hands slowly emerged from the night sky and reached towards his head.
The sleeping figure suddenly opened his eyes, as if foreseeing the coming danger.
boom!
Surging steam gushed out from around him, allowing him to instantly move to a nearby tree. A large amount of high-pressure steam beams gushed out from the mechanism in his hand, rushing towards the enemy like a laser.
The black shadow flashed in the dim environment and easily avoided the steam attack.
"Haha, Biluhu, it seems your plan didn't work! You've alerted this guy. This may be a bit tricky."
Although he said this, the person's tone seemed unusually relaxed, as if he didn't care much about his teammate's mistake.
"Shut up! You talkative guy!" An unhappy curse came from the direction of the figure named Beiliuhu.
At this time, another figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
Under the moonlight, he was slender and his face was as pale as paper. His unique features instantly made the person who was attacked recognize his identity, and his expression suddenly changed. "Orochimaru!!!"
Suddenly.
The white tail behind the big man began to tremble slightly.
