To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

As their enemy, the Sunagakure Clan is naturally aware of Hatake Sakumo's reputation. He is so powerful that he can compete with the Kage.

It is nothing but a pipe dream for these defeated remnants to want to kill Hatake Sakumo.

not to mention......

Jialuo looked behind him anxiously.

The Konoha ninjas are catching up.

Jialuo gritted his teeth, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't control his tears from flowing down.

They, the Sand Village, suffered heavy losses today and were seriously damaged.

The Third Kazekage's disciple, Jonin Rasa, is dead.

The son and daughter-in-law of Elder Chiyo, the elite jonin in the village, and the captain of their Sand Village force, the Akasaga couple, are dead.

Losing three heavyweight figures at once is definitely an unbearable burden for Sunagakure.

"Let's go, don't fight, let's go!"

Yashamaru shouted, and the Sand Village ninja beside him also conveyed the orders from Karura and Yashamaru.

Luosha is dead, and the Akashi couple is dead.

Karura and Yashamaru are not the highest ranking among the Sunagakure ninjas, but they have high status and their words carry weight.

The Sunagakure listened to their words, but the rising anger in everyone's hearts overwhelmed their rationality.

Determined to avenge Captain Akashi!

"hateful!"

Upon seeing this, Yashamaru angrily punched the tree next to him.

Watching Hatake Sakumo moving like lightning among the Sand Village ninjas, he was incomparable.

The fellows in Sunagakure were harvested quickly like leeks.

Yashamaru's hands and feet were cold and he felt weak.

That man, Hatake Sakumo, was so powerful that his speed was so fast that Yashamaru couldn't even see him clearly.

If you can't even see clearly, how can you talk about fighting the enemy?

"Sister, let's go."

Yashamaru and Karura ignored the angry Sand Village ninjas and let them stay.

Cruelly speaking, it could also buy them time to evacuate.

Karura and Yashamaru left with sad faces, and behind them came the screams of pain from their companions...

......

"Captain!"

"Sakumo-senpai!"

Uchiha Shigeka and others caught up and saw Hatake Sakumo standing there holding a white fang short knife, with corpses everywhere around him.

The Konoha ninjas looked at each other in surprise.

——Why is the captain here?

Among them, Yamagami Makoto and others vaguely guessed something, and they all looked at Uchiha Shigeka at the same time.

——The secret mission that Lord Chonghua is secretly carrying out must be related to Lord Shumao!

Being able to work with that Hatake Sakumo.

Yamagami Makoto and others were full of admiration, he was worthy of being Lord Chonghua!

Hatake Sakumo shook off the blood on his white teeth and then sheathed his sword.

He turned around, his face no longer stern but a gentle smile.

"Hello, everyone."

Orochimaru walked up and looked into the depths of the jungle with his snake eyes.

"Do you want to catch up, Sakumo-senpai?"

Hatake Sakumo shook his head and said with a smile: "This time we can say that we should not pursue a desperate enemy."

"They're pushing too hard. If Sunagakure really wants to go all out, it'll be hard to deal with them. I don't want anyone in Konoha to suffer any more damage."

Hatake Sakumo came to the bodies of the Akagara couple and said, "Our goal has been achieved, the leader has been eliminated, give Sunagakure some time to think."

Without their backbone, the remaining Sand Village ninjas are just a pile of loose sand, ready to fall apart at the first sign of collapse.

Give the Sand Village time to vent their anxiety. When Konoha launches a general attack and uses the strong against the weak, they will be more inclined to retreat and escape.

This retreat means withdrawing from the Fire Nation!

Hatake Sakumo ordered: "Clean up the battlefield and take a day off! The day after tomorrow, we, Konoha, will launch a general offensive and drive all of the Sand Village out of the Land of Fire!"

Hearing this, the Konoha ninja became excited and responded loudly.

"Yes!"

......

Just as Hatake Sakumo said.

The Sand Village ninjas returned to the camp. After escaping the life-and-death crisis, their inner anxiety continued to spread.

Every Sand Village ninja is in danger.

Lord Rasa died, the Akasawa couple died, and a large number of companions died.

What are they still doing here?

Immediately, some Sand Village ninjas requested to retreat and leave the Land of Fire.

When a Sunagakure jonin saw this request, he angrily slapped the other party in the face.

"Asshole, how could there be someone as cowardly as you in our Sand Village!"

Looking around with angry eyes, the Sand Village ninjas lowered their heads in shame.

......

Chapter 72: Sand Village Evacuation

"We have finally occupied this place. If we just retreat and throw it away like this, I will be the first one to object!"

Yashamaru had a melancholy look on his face, and his brows furrowed when he heard the words of the Sunagakure jonin.

"Midorima Jonin, we in Sunagakure have suffered heavy casualties this time. Captains Rasa and Akashi and the others..."

Yashamaru sighed and said in a low voice: "We are not strong enough now and can't compete with Konoha at all."

"Midorima Jonin, let me remind you that you know Hatake Sakumo's strength. We have no chance of winning."

The jonin named Midorima certainly understood the disparity in power between the enemy and us.

He said bitterly: "Just hold on for a while longer and wait for the reinforcements from Elder Qiandai to arrive."

"Elder Chiyo will definitely not sit idly by and watch the death of the two captains. She will definitely come to the battlefield here in person."

"As soon as Elder Chiyo arrives, we will be fine!"

Another Sunagakure jonin who did not want to retreat nodded in agreement.

"Yes, once the reinforcements arrive, we will win!"

Midorima's words were recognized by other Sand Village ninjas. Even those who were frightened and wanted to retreat were a little hesitant.

——Perhaps, they can still hold on a little longer?

As long as Elder Chiyo leads the reinforcements to arrive quickly, they will still have the faith to continue fighting!

Seeing that everyone in the field was somewhat moved, Garura sighed and said, "The question now is, will Konoha give us enough time to hold on?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy environment suddenly became solemn and quiet.

"Midorima Jonin, it's better not to have unrealistic fantasies."

Karula said faintly: "For the sake of Sunagakure and everyone here, Midorima Jonin, please consider this a little more."

Yashamaru said unhappily, "You think too highly of Konoha. We are so weak now, it is impossible for Konoha not to take advantage of the situation and annihilate us in one fell swoop."

"If we hold on firmly, we will receive reinforcements?"

Yashamaru shook his head with a mocking look.

It's shameful to escape, but it's very useful for the Sand Village now!

This look made Midorima Jonin feel suffocated. He wanted to say something in rebuttal, but he could only spit out nonsense.

"As long as we hold our ground, there will definitely be a way..."

The voice became lower and lower, and Midorima jonin knew that if they stayed here any longer, the Sand Village would be wiped out.

But...but!

Midorima jonin clenched his fists, his face full of reluctance.

They invaded the Land of Fire with great force and occupied a fertile land that they had always dreamed of in the Sand Country.

Are we going to retreat in disgrace and spit out the fertile land?

There must be a way!

Midorima jonin pursed his lips and kept thinking, but he couldn't come up with any effective solution.

The field suddenly became quiet, and everyone's breathing became clear.

It may be sadness, hatred, or melancholy...

Jialuo rubbed his eyes. They were swollen from crying so much.

【Luo Sha...】

Karula felt sad as she thought about the little things they had experienced together. The experiences she had with Luo Sha now echoed in her mind, becoming more and more profound and unforgettable.

[It turns out...I like Luo Sha. 】

It was not until this moment that Karula realized what was in her mind, but this made her even more sad.

Luo Sha...he is dead!

This feeling can be treated as a recollection, but it was lost at the time.

Karula covered her face helplessly, the memories of her and Rasa disappeared from her mind, leaving only the pair of strange scarlet Sharingan.

Uchiha Shigeka!

It was such a deep-rooted hatred that Karula bit her lips so hard that she didn't even realize that they were broken and bleeding.

[I will definitely...definitely kill you and avenge Luo Sha! ]

Wow!

At this moment, the sound of the door curtain being lifted awakened everyone in the tent.

They looked at the newcomer together.

The Sand Village ninja was panting, not even taking the time to regulate his breathing. He quickly reported: "The intelligence unit has received news that Konoha plans to rest for a day and will launch a general attack on us the day after tomorrow!"

"General attack!?"

Everyone in Sunagakure looked unhappy. The last thing they wanted to hear right now was the news of the general attack on Konoha.

Yashamaru observed everyone's pale faces, and he stood up with a heavy expression.

"Everyone, your illusions are shattered. Konoha will not give us a chance to hold on. We won't be able to wait for reinforcements in such a short time."

Yashamaru looked at the Sand Village ninja who was reporting.

"Is the news true?"

The Sand Village ninja took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "It is absolutely true. Everyone in Konoha knows the order given by Hatake Sakumo on the spot."

Yashamaru raised his head and sighed.

"Retreat."
