Naruto: Yes, Uchiha-sama!

The first Raikage even personally led the army to the front line, and the ninjas of Kumogakure were even more desperate. Their almost crazy fighting made the war enter a white-hot stage in just a few days.

Rocky forest, lakeside, and bushes.

Within a month.

The ninjas from both sides engaged in an extremely brutal fight. Even a senior ninja with extremely rich combat experience could die silently in such an intense battle.

In a temporary tent somewhere.

"damn it"

"The Hidden Cloud Village really shouldn't be underestimated!"

Uchiha Makoto couldn't help but frown as he looked at the battle reports of the past few days.

The ninjas of Kumogakure are like crazy, attacking at all costs and at any expense.

Even a desperate soldier wouldn't end up like this.

Because the Cloud Ninjas have always lived in the local area and are familiar with the terrain.

They knew very well how to launch sneak attacks in this area and more effectively eliminate the ninjas guarding the area, hoping to squeeze Akatsuki's living space bit by bit.

Every battle

The Cloud Ninja's unexpected and desperate attack methods always cause the Akatsuki Ninja to suffer heavy losses.

Although compared to the hasty response of the Hidden Cloud Village.

The Akatsuki Village had been secretly preparing for several months, perhaps even longer.

The Akatsuki Ninjas can be said to be armed to the teeth, but the strength of the ninjas on both sides is actually not that big of a gap. Even though the Akatsuki Ninjas have a huge number of detonating tags, according to Uchiha Makoto's estimate, the casualty ratio of each battle between the Akatsuki Ninjas and the Kumogakure is actually in the range of 1 to 1.5.

However, under the fierce attack of the Cloud Ninja, the casualty ratio of both sides is now almost equal.

Although the battle report data of Akatsuki Village is not bad, it can even be said that it is still in an advantageous position.

But the number of ninjas from Kumogakure is too large. Compared with the number of ninjas from Kumogakure, the number of ninjas from Akatsuki Village currently participating in the battle is still at a disadvantage. This fierce offensive is really a bit too much for Uchiha Makoto to handle.

Nearly 400 ninjas from the Akatsuki have been killed so far, not to mention the Hidden Cloud Village, which has lost nearly 600 ninjas. The loss of ninjas at this level can make every Kage tremble with heartache.

"Cheng, now that things have come to this, let's have a bowl of ice cream first."

Shinji Uzumaki looked at Uchiha Makoto's sad face and walked over to hand him a bowl of ice cream.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter.

No one can refuse a bowl of ice cream on a hot summer day, so Uchiha Makoto put down the battle report in his hand and reached out to take it.

"Cheng, don't worry too much. The Cloud Ninja's attack power is far less fierce than it was at the beginning. We are also adapting to their offensive rhythm. Soon the offense and defense will be reversed."

Shinji Uzumaki was also holding a bowl of ice cream and muttering to himself.

The Cloud Ninja's attack was indeed crazy, but that was all. After paying a considerable price, the Akatsuki Ninja had gradually become familiar with this area and the Cloud Ninja's offensive and sneak attack methods.

Akatsuki Village has a large number of detonating tags.

Almost all places where the Cloud Ninja could launch a surprise attack have been covered by these detonating tags. It is now very difficult for the Cloud Ninja to launch a surprise attack by taking advantage of the terrain as before.

Uchiha Makoto nodded.

For this battle.

He can be said to have made sufficient preparations.

From the initial blitzkrieg to the response of the Hidden Cloud Village, the First Raikage personally led the team to gather heavy troops on the third line of defense.

All of this was almost within Uchiha Makoto's expectations.

Uchiha Makoto has given up the idea of ​​directly attacking the third line of defense and is ready to start a war of attrition according to the predetermined plan, using detonating tags to attack and gradually eliminate the strongholds near the third line of defense of the Hidden Cloud Village every day.

Uchiha Makoto also had a similar guess in his heart about the recent crazy actions of the Hidden Cloud Village.

The Hidden Cloud Village is probably facing a logistical emergency.

The first and second lines of defense were filled with a large amount of food, shurikens, detonating tags and other military supplies originally prepared by the Hidden Cloud Village. All of them were reduced to ashes overnight.

The First Raikage acted hastily, without any preparation for war, and immediately mobilized heavy troops to reinforce the third line of defense. All the logistical pressure was suddenly accumulated on the third line of defense.

Perhaps the First Raikage realized his plan of a war of attrition, so he chose a fierce attack like a hero cutting off his own arm, just to find the vital points of the Akatsuki base as soon as possible, and then seize the opportunity to engage in a head-on decisive battle.

"The logistics of the Hidden Cloud Village won't last much longer. Perhaps victory or defeat will come in the next one or two months."

Uchiha Makoto roughly analyzed his guess to Uzumaki Shinji, who nodded. He had a similar guess in his mind. As long as Akatsuki Village and the Uzumaki clan could withstand the crazy attack launched by Kumogakure Village, the balance of victory would completely tilt towards them.

And the morale of Akatsuki Village remains high.

Adequate logistics guarantee Xiao Ren's food, clothing, housing and transportation. Xiao Ren's three meals a day are not just pills and water, but fresh rice, miso soup, and various meats. After the meal, they can also have some small desserts to stimulate their appetite. Ice cream, a summer-relief artifact, is also available in unlimited quantities. It's great to have an ice-style ninja in the team!

According to the feedback from the Akatsuki ninja's raid on the Hidden Cloud base, the main food of the Hidden Cloud ninja has begun to be mixed with emergency food such as Bingliangwan, which is only used in battle.

The further back in time.

The greater the advantage of Akatsuki Village.

"Shinji, it seems Konoha won't send troops. I've already sent someone to contact Konoha. Senju Tobirama replied that Konoha is urgently preparing military supplies. I don't know if that's true or not."

Uchiha Makoto put the war behind him for the time being, and while eating the ice cream in the bowl, he pretended to be nonchalant and talked to Uzumaki Shinji about the situation in Konoha.

As expected.

Konoha probably has no intention of getting involved in this war, and Senju Tobirama's reply was just perfunctory. Instead of thinking about when he will send troops to help, it is better to be wary of whether Senju Tobirama, this natural old ghost with a thousand hands, will do something secretly.

He's been a little too quiet lately.

Uchiha Makoto was out of reach of Konoha and could only deal with it as the enemy came and went.

But the Uzumaki clan in front of us.

Muye must use this eye drops quickly!

The pain from tenosynovitis has slowed down my typing speed a lot.

Asking for a monthly ticket.

Still 6k!

Chapter 98: Akatsuki wins three times in a row, and Konoha is defeated!

“This may be”

"As for preparing military supplies, after all, there are so many Konoha ninjas. Once the ninja army is dispatched, they will need to prepare more things every day. This is understandable."

Facing the topic raised by Uchiha Makoto.

Uzumaki Shinji was stunned at first, then he could only stutter twice, trying to find one or two plausible excuses for Konoha.

Uchiha Makoto just smiled without saying anything, and did not refute Uzumaki Shinji's "nonsense". He just looked at Uzumaki Shinji quietly.

In the end, Uzumaki Shinji was so embarrassed by Uchiha Makoto's stare that he started to laugh awkwardly.

More than a month has passed since the war began.

It will be two months soon.

The ninja village is a military group, a village built specifically for war.

Even if Konoha's reaction was slow, it was enough to prepare a ninja army to support the Akatsuki Village and the Uzumaki clan on the battlefield.

Even if what Konoha said was true, and they really had been actively seizing the time to prepare military supplies and reinforcements, they wouldn't be unable to gather a few emergency support teams of senior ninjas.

After all, until now.

There was not even a shadow of Konoha's reinforcements on the battlefield.

"Hmph, Shinji, you're right. Konoha's reinforcements should still be on the way... After all, our Akatsuki Village and Konoha are allies. It's just that the rescue speed is a little slow. This shows that our Akatsuki Village is still quite strong and can win this war!"

"I just hope that if the Uzumaki clan encounters an emergency one day, Konoha's reaction speed will not be as slow as this time."

Uchiha Makoto snorted coldly and said a few sarcastic words to Uzumaki Shinji.

Konoha was so slow in rescuing the Akatsuki Village this time. Will they do the same next time if the Uzumaki clan also needs Konoha's assistance?

Just a few words.

Uchiha Makoto began to concentrate on enjoying the bowl of ice cream in front of him. The vanilla flavor was indeed delicious!

"."

Shinji Uzumaki didn't say anything, and his hands didn't stop moving. He took a spoonful of ice cream and it still tasted sweet, but a bitter taste inexplicably welled up in his mouth. It was obvious that Uchiha Makoto's heart-wrenching words touched Shinji Uzumaki's heart.

Konoha is an ally of the Akatsuki Village and also an ally of the Uzumaki clan.

If we go by the degree of closeness of relationship, Uchiha Makoto is a member of the Uchiha clan, and the Uzumaki clan is a blood ally of the Senju clan.

Everyone seems to be about the same.

This is Konoha's attitude towards the Akatsuki Village today, what about the Uzumaki clan tomorrow?

Could it be that the friendly forces are in trouble and they remain as still as a mountain?

Chill!

After finishing a bowl of ice cream, Uchiha Makoto didn't stay for long, leaving Uzumaki Shinji alone.

As the commander-in-chief of the combined forces of the Akatsuki and Uzumaki clans, he has a lot of daily tasks to deal with, and now he is going to visit the wounded.

After that, he will have to organize daily counterattack operations and consider how to better ensure the safety of Akatsuki Village's logistics transportation lines.

The latter point is of paramount importance.

Well known

Wars are fought for money and food!

The logistics supply line is the lifeline of the entire army!

In the original Naruto, the turning point of the Third Shinobi World War was the Battle of Kannabi Bridge. Konoha sent a raiding party to blow up Kannabi Bridge, completely cutting off the logistics supply line of Iwagakure Village. The Iwagakure Village had to retreat after losing its supply line, and Konoha got a chance to catch its breath and start a counterattack.

Therefore, Uchiha Makoto attached great importance to this issue. During the preparation for launching this war, Uchiha Makoto had early planned three secret conventional supply routes and two top-secret supply lines that could only be activated in emergencies.

It can be said that both the Akatsuki and Kumogakure are well aware of the importance of logistical supplies.

However, the Cloud Ninja is now in a logistical crisis, so they can only find ways to cut off the Akatsuki Ninja's logistical supplies, but they have never succeeded.

so far.
