Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

Upon hearing this, Matsuda looked at Chiyo, whose face was pale, and asked with a frown, "How much longer will it take?"

Chiyo pursed her lips, tears glistening in her eyes.

She has been doing her best to develop an antidote.

He hadn't slept for a day and a night, constantly trying to analyze the specific components of the venom, but he just couldn't find a clue.

Since we can't analyze the components, let's start with the antidote.

Dozens of antidotes have been developed, but none of them can remove the toxin.

This put Chiyo under tremendous psychological pressure, especially with the battlefield commander constantly urging her on.

The safety of the Sand Ninja was entrusted to her alone.

As a result, she was still unable to develop an antidote...

This physical and mental pressure nearly drove her to the brink of collapse.

Matsuda noticed that Chiyo seemed a bit off and raised his voice:

"I can wait for you here, but the soldiers on the front lines can't wait any longer!"

If the antidote cannot be developed in time, the Sand comrades on the front lines are in danger of dying at any moment.

If they are not careful, these Sand Ninja will be wiped out!

As a battlefield commander, he would never allow such a thing to happen.

We can only hope that Chiyo can develop an antidote.

Upon hearing this, Chiyo dropped the medicinal herbs in her hand to the ground.

She turned to look at Matsuda, her eyes red and her voice trembling as she said:

"Lord Matsuda, I cannot develop an antidote..."

Matsuda's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

"What did you say?!"

He never imagined that the poison-making genius of Sunagakure would be unable to develop an antidote.

How could such a thing happen?

Matsuda naturally assumed that since Konoha could cure the Sand Village's poison.

Then they can naturally also cure the poison in Konoha.

He never considered that Chiyo might not be able to develop an antidote.

After all, they are both geniuses, so their abilities should be roughly the same.

It's just a matter of time.

But Chiyo's words shattered his illusions.

"I'm sorry, Lord Matsuda, I simply cannot develop an antidote!" Chiyo clenched her fists in frustration, tears streaming down her face and onto the ground.

She's been working really hard to figure out the composition of the poison, but she's made no progress and can't analyze its specific components at all.

Not to mention developing an antidote...

Sometimes she thought about the guy who developed this poison.

Really human?

Matsuda stared blankly at the girl in front of him, his mind going blank for a moment.

The inability to develop an antidote means they are completely powerless against Konoha's poison.

It seemed that surrender was the only option left for them.

The key point is that the war has only just begun, less than a week ago!

If we surrender like this, how will the Wind Shadow view himself?!

At that time, he, as the battlefield commander, will undoubtedly die.

They cannot surrender under any circumstances, at least not now!

Thinking of this, Matsuda looked at the girl with a serious expression, "No matter what method you use, you must develop an antidote for me!"

After a moment of silence, his tone softened slightly, "At the very least... it would be good to develop a medicine to reduce the toxins."

He has now given up hope of developing a complete antidote.

Chiyo wiped away her tears. "I understand, Lord Matsuda!"

Matsuda patted the girl's shoulder and said softly, "Your safety is in our hands."

With that, he turned and left the tent.

…………

Frontline battlefield.

With the arrival of reinforcements from the Sand Village, the Konoha ninjas did not launch another attack.

The two sides began a protracted tug-of-war.

Although Lianye's poison is very strong, it cannot directly change the situation on the battlefield.

Once the Sand Ninjas deliberately created distance between themselves and the enemy, close-quarters combat became impossible.

Shuriken and poison needles flew continuously on the battlefield.

The explosions of the detonating tags were incessant.

Thus began a long-term tug-of-war between Konoha and Sunagakure.

…………

Three months have passed.

During this period, reinforcements from both sides continued to arrive at the battlefield.

Three months later, the Sand Village still hadn't developed an antidote.

Ultimately, the only option left was to change the method of combat.

The Konoha ninjas were very frustrated with the Sand Ninjas' turtle-style fighting tactics.

They wished they could just kill the other person right in the face.

However, this suggestion was rejected by Nara Motokazu.

Konoha currently holds an absolute advantage on the southwestern battlefield, so there is absolutely no need for them to take this risk.

Given this situation, Konoha will be victorious sooner or later.

That's how war is; unless you have an absolute overwhelming advantage, it's all about attrition.

The Land of Fire was surrounded by enemies on all sides and simply did not have enough troops to launch a general offensive.

This is the only safe approach we can take: slowly wear down the Sand Ninja's fighting strength.

Especially after gaining an advantage in the southwestern battlefield, most of the village's support went to other battlefields.

Nara Honwa needs to be even more cautious and prudent in his decision-making, otherwise there is a risk of things going wrong if he is not careful.

He didn't need to take any risks; he could simply defeat the Sand Ninja with minimal losses.

The war will not end anytime soon...

The four great nations are determined to carve up the resources of the Land of Fire and will never easily give up their invasion.

Since the Sand Village adopted a defensive strategy, no large-scale battles have broken out between the two sides.

Every day they would unleash ninjutsu and throw shuriken at each other.

It was so leisurely that it hardly felt like a battlefield.

Lianye leaned against a tree, flipping through a theoretical book in her hands.

With no battles around, I can finally read and study.

"I wonder how long the war will last?"

As Renya pondered how many years the war would last, Commander Nara Motokazu approached him and handed him a scroll.

"Jonin Renye, the Hokage wants your team to return to the village as soon as possible."

Lian Ye opened the scroll and, after reading its contents, couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Why is this old bastard calling us back?"

P.S.: This is my last time giving up. I'll work hard on my writing tomorrow.

Chapter 133 The Uncle Was Right

Three months later, Renya returned to Konoha.

On his way back, he saw Nara Motoya and others patrolling the border.

Nara Motokazu doted on his son, Nara Motoya...

As war was about to break out, they sent him to the rear to fish.

They don't have to fight to the death on the front lines.

Even so, Nara Motoya was still not satisfied.

He kept complaining to Lianye that life at the rear was too boring and that he wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but his father wouldn't allow it.

To this, Lianye could only say that she got the benefit but was still acting innocent.

If the situation allowed, who would be willing to go to the battlefield?

If you can make a living in the rear without having to risk your life, you should be grateful.

Their lives on the front lines were difficult...

They are constantly on high alert, both physically and mentally, as small-scale battles could break out at any time.

While Konoha suppressed the Sand Ninja on the southwestern battlefield, its overall casualty rate was also very high.

Although the Sand Village's poison is ineffective against Konoha, being pierced through the body by a kunai will still result in death.

It's much better than before...

Nara Honya was also going to the battlefield, and he could lose his life if he was not careful.

Unless Konoha is in a very critical situation, Nara Honwa would not send him to the battlefield.

"Lotus Night Lord, you have no idea..."

Renya's lips twitched as she watched Nara Honya pour out his grievances.

Haven't seen him for a while, why is his mouth so chapped?

Seeing that the other person kept talking, Lianye quickly interrupted.

"Alright, we still need to go back to the village. We'll talk again when it's time."

Before they finished speaking, they fled the border as if they were escaping.

Watching the three figures leave, Nara couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Well, Renya-kun is really something... I can't even complain."

He knew his father's good intentions, of course; he just wanted to confide in someone.

Unfortunately, Lianye and the other two were unwilling to give him that opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Hinata Yuuki, who was not far away, rolled his eyes at him in annoyance.

"Huh? Yuuki-kun, what do you mean by this?"

…………

Hokage's office.

Tobirama Senju held the latest intelligence from the battlefield in his hand, and was in a very good mood.

This was the first time he had been so happy since the war began.
