Thinking of this, Uchiha Zong couldn't help but sigh slightly. Fortunately, all they had to do was to contain the enemy. If that didn't work, they could just hide in the mountains...

……

"Chi Ye, when do you think the war will end?"

"How would I know, Wada, but I think it will be soon."

"I hope so. It's been going on for so long."

"You just want it to be over quickly so you can go home and get married, right?"

On a small path in the forest of Whirlpool Country, a logistics team of dozens of people was heading towards the front line.

Although they remained vigilant along the way, they still couldn't help chatting in their spare time.

After all, the place where they are is the territory controlled by Kirigakure, which is indeed very different from the front line.

Although they might be attacked in this place, the people who attacked them were just a resistance organization composed of civilians. Such strength was really not worth mentioning to them.

Naturally, they don't need to be nervous and worry about being attacked by Konoha ninjas at any time and losing their lives.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

But as they were walking, suddenly, the sound of breaking air came from all directions, which immediately made them alert.

"Wooden branches?"

When they saw what were shooting towards them, they couldn't help but reveal a mocking look on their faces.

They knew that the people who attacked them this time might be the resistance organization again.

Without any hesitation, they immediately took out their kunai or ninja swords, and then dispersed in a safe direction.

But the moment their formation dispersed, their faces changed instantly, because they all felt the hot breath spreading around them.

"Fire Release·Dragon Fire Technique!"

With the attack of a fire dragon, their formation was completely divided in an instant, and at this moment the sound of breaking air was heard again in the sky.

This time, what attacked them were no longer tree branches, but sharp kunai!

"Be careful, it's a ninja!"

At this moment, these originally careless Mist Ninjas came to their senses, but now it was too late.

The formation was divided and they were unable to support each other.

Moreover, due to their own carelessness, their evasive actions were not standardized, which resulted in them having no time to deal with this wave of attacks!

In an instant, several unprepared Mist Ninjas were pierced by kunai and died on the spot!

And at this moment, the surviving Mist Ninja saw that they were surrounded by a dark crowd, most of whom were civilians.

But leading them were several ninjas wearing Konoha uniforms!

……

Chapter 29: The Land of Chaos

On this day, this situation happened in more than one place in the Whirlpool Country.

And this trend began to intensify. In the following period of time, Kirigakure received various loss reports every day.

Either the supply team was ambushed and supplies could not be delivered to the front line, or the route to the supply point was damaged, supplies could not be delivered on time.

These things gave Commander Kirigakure a splitting headache, and they had taken some measures.

However, such measures cannot be said to be effective, but at least they are of little use.

Because from the moment Uchiha Zong gave the order, more than 10,000 civilians who could serve as combatants all left their villages and joined the resistance organization closest to them.

These resistance organizations also scattered their camps throughout the vast jungle under the command and instruction of the Konoha ninjas who were responsible for training them.

Although this approach caused them a lot of suffering, after all, a cat in the jungle cannot be compared to a cat in a small town, but it also avoided being caught by the Hidden Mist as much as possible.

Furthermore, the Konoha ninjas in charge of their respective 'battle zones' fully complied with what the Uchiha Clan had asked them to do since before the war began.

That is a situation where it is unnecessary. Never attack Kirigakure head-on, but use every possible means to harass them!

Guided by this kind of thinking, at least in this area, the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village can be said to be in a very difficult situation.

Let's retaliate in a big way. These Mist Ninjas are not enough and the situation on the front line is also tight.

And it is not easy to find them. After all, the area of ​​​​Whirlpool Country is quite large, and who knows where they are hiding.

But if they just closed their eyes and waited for death and ignored them, there would indeed be reports of losses every day, which made the Mist Ninjas extremely angry.

However, these Mist Ninjas did not gain nothing. Although the various resistance organizations had done a good job and were very careful, they were just a group of ordinary people after all.

"It is really unbelievable that a group of civilians would resist to such an extent."

At the Kirigakure headquarters in Whirlpool Country, Karatachi Yagura was looking at the report in his hand with a frown on his brow, and it was obvious that he was not in a good mood at the moment.

Although he looks like he is only twelve or thirteen years old, it is just because he is born with a baby face.

At this time, he was not yet the Fourth Mizukage, but as a disciple of the Third Mizukage and a member of the Kuju clan, he was the focus of training.

And this time, he is the commander-in-chief of the Whirlpool Kingdom!

"Lord Yagura, there is the shadow of Konoha Ninja behind this." A middle-aged Mist Ninja seemed a little afraid of Yagura, but he still plucked up the courage to speak.

"Of course I know that Konoha is behind this. If there is no Konoha, how could these people achieve this?"

Karuju Yagura snorted coldly, then threw the report in his hand on the table.

"The key is to do all this in such a short time, which is not an easy task."

"Lord Yagura, do you think these people are related to the previous attack on the prisoner camp?"

At this time, another Mist Ninja couldn't help but speak.

During this half year, there have always been some problems in guarding the prisoners in Kirigakure, and some small prisoner camps have been attacked repeatedly.

Although this was not a big problem for the war, it did cause some casualties.

Therefore, the Mist Ninja had also paid attention to this matter, but the target was too small, and there had been no results, so in the end it was left unresolved.

War? There will always be casualties. Besides, Kirigakure has already investigated the matter, but it’s just that the enemy is too cunning and there is no result.

But now it seems that there seems to be something different about this matter.

"Was the prisoner-of-war camp attacked?" Kujiya Kura thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Maybe there is some connection, but it's better this way, at least there are some clues left."

Having said that, Goji Yagura turned around and picked up a map. Then he looked at the map seriously and started talking.

“Although it is uncertain where those scattered resistance groups will hide, all resistance groups must have a command structure.

I don't believe that the Konoha ninjas who led the resistance organization acted freely, otherwise they could easily get into big trouble, just like when we command the army to fight.

Therefore, our primary goal is to find this command post. As long as we can find it, the resistance organizations will become a mob once again."

As he spoke, he picked up a pen and quickly drew on the map. Then he threw the map in his hand to the Mist Ninja beside him.

The Mist Ninja took the map and opened it. Soon he frowned because there were several areas drawn on the map.

"Search in these areas."

Karuju Yagura said this calmly, but his expression looked particularly cold.

“Especially in those villages and towns, although the locations where they operated were far apart, it is not ruled out that the local civilians gave them the information.

However, it would be better to send some strong and ruthless people this time. On the one hand, the enemy's headquarters may leave a lot of ninjas.

Secondly, if they leave, they might be ambushed, so I need someone who is sensible and knows what to do.”

"I understand, Lord Yagura." The Mist Ninja nodded immediately after hearing this.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all. After all, in wartime, who would care about the lives of civilians, especially when these civilians were not from their own country.

They, the Hidden Mist, have done a lot of things to exploit the people of the Whirlpool Country, otherwise there wouldn't be so many resistance organizations emerging.

What's more, for ninjas, information is the key. It would be very rude to reveal the information and cause the death of one of their own people.

"Lord Yagura, Lord Raiga and Lord Biwa Juzo are resting now." The Mist Ninja seemed to have thought of something and he spoke immediately.

"Raiga and Biwa Juuzou?" Karutagi Yagura thought for a moment, then said directly: "Sure, two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen should be no problem, but in order to prevent any accidents, let's bring a small team with them."

"I understand, Lord Yagura." The Mist Ninja nodded, then prepared to leave and go make the notification.

"Wait a moment." But just as he was about to leave, Kujira Yagura suddenly stopped him and said, "Disclose this news to Konoha, let them know that there are people in the Land of Whirlpools who are training and cultivating local civilians."

"This..." The Mist Ninja was stunned. He didn't know how to start for a moment, but he finally nodded: "Yes, Lord Yagura."

After saying this, the Mist Ninja turned around and left the command room, while Karutagi Yagura sat down again, a smile involuntarily appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Training civilians is a fantasy. I don't believe that you, Konoha, would issue such an order.

Otherwise, Konoha wouldn't have watched us go ashore and let us wipe out the Uzumaki clan..."

……

Chapter 30: Raiga and Biwa Juzo

"Lord Orochimaru, the attack from Kirigakure seems to have slowed down recently."

In the camp of Konoha in the Land of Whirlpools, Nara Kajin was reporting to Orochimaru in a low voice with documents in his hand.

This situation was reported by ninjas fighting on the front lines, and ninjas from more than one place were providing feedback!

They were surprised to find that the Mist Ninja, whose original offensive momentum was very fierce, began to change for some unknown reason.

Even in some places, the Mist Ninjas who clearly had the upper hand began to retreat inexplicably and gave up some of the territories they had originally occupied.

Even though no one knows what happened, this news is great for all Konoha ninjas!

Nara Kahito was originally thinking the same thing, but when he was reporting these things, his brows involuntarily frowned slightly.

Because along with this situation, there was also a piece of news that was difficult for him to handle.

The Konoha Ninjas gathered and recruited a large number of civilians in the area controlled by Kirigakure, and the most important thing is that they also trained these civilians!

If an ordinary ninja heard this news, they would not think there was anything wrong with it, just like the Konoha ninjas who were participating in the battle.

They were even discussing who could have done such a thing to cause so much trouble to the Mist Ninja.

Of course, there are some people who are worried.

But they were worried that allowing civilians to participate in the ninja war might result in a large number of civilian casualties.

Konoha is the army of justice, and war is the business of the ninjas. Naturally, they do not want too many civilian casualties.

But Nara Kajin is different from them. As members of the Nara clan, they know many things.

For example, he knows very well how Konoha views the Land of Whirlpools, or more precisely, how the Third Hokage and his men view the Land of Whirlpools!

"That's good news, isn't it?" Orochimaru tapped the table lightly, licked his tongue and said with a smile.

"It's just that Lord Orochimaru..." Nara Kajin was a little embarrassed. Finally, he whispered, "Lord Orochimaru should have heard some rumors about this matter..."

"It's a bold idea, isn't it?" Orochimaru paused, then he restrained his smile and spoke softly.

"It's bold, but too bold."

Nara Kajin sighed slightly, then he hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice to the lowest level.

"Lord Orochimaru, the current Hokage of Konoha is still the Sandaime-sama, and the person who carried out such an action behind enemy lines is most likely someone you sent out.

I am worried that this may have some impact on you and cause some unexpected things to happen later..."

Having said this, Nara Kajin stopped, while Orochimaru continued to slowly tap the table with his fingers.

The rumor that the Third Hokage was going to abdicate had actually been around for a long time, but it was just that it was only now intensifying.

With such rumors and tendencies, naturally there will be people waiting for the opportunity to act. Orochimaru is very clear that the Nara Kajin in front of him is the Nara clan's investment in him.

Of course, he was more aware that there might be similar people around other candidates.

But this is too normal. After all, every candidate for Hokage must form his own team after he actually takes the position.

The current situation is like making connections in advance.

When I really get promoted, the person who will interact with me, besides Nara Kajitsu, will be the head of the Nara clan.

At this time, Orochimaru still had big ideas about being Hokage, although he had seen too many deaths because of the war and had already begun to have some ideas in his heart.
