Duanmu Baiyun of Konoha

Chapter 75
After the war, it was still a doomsday scene, with corpses lying all over the ground.

While cleaning the battlefield, Duanmu saw Captain Miyake was called to the headquarters for a meeting.

Not long after, Captain Miyake hurried back.

Miyake shouted to the people in the squadron: "Everyone, speed up, there is another half hour, no matter how the work in hand is doing, immediately break out of camp and set off!"

The team members didn't ask too many questions, and speeded up the work at hand.

Before dealing with the corpses of Konoha Ninjas, they would sort out the remains first, but now there is no time, Duanmu immediately sealed them into the scroll when he saw the corpses.

There were even some corpses whose human form could not be identified, and it was impossible to tell which village they were ninjas from. Duanmu didn't care about that many, and directly sealed them in scrolls and took them away.

Time passed quickly, and Konoha's troops headed southeast.

Many people have doubts, the direction due east is the direction to retreat to the Land of Fire.

Captain Miyake explained that while Konoha was cleaning the battlefield, Sand Ninja split up.

Sand Ninja sent a 1000-man army to bypass Konoha's rear and deploy defenses in the direction due east of Konoha's troops.

The whereabouts of the other 2000 sand ninjas are unknown.

If it exceeds five kilometers, Bai Yan will not be able to find the enemy.

Konoha doesn't know what medicine is sold in the sand ninja gourd, so first avoid the sand ninja troops conservatively.

This is an overt conspiracy, isn't Konoha particularly strong in intelligence?Then clearly deploy a blocking force of 1000 people.

I don't know what special strategy this 1000-man sand ninja army has, and dare to wait there blatantly.

As long as Konoha wants to eat these 1000 people, he will be held back, and the main force of sand ninja will attack Konoha back and forth.

The ultimate goal is that Sand Ninja wants to grab an opportunity, grab a time difference.

The second wave of sand ninja support, that is, two thousand ninjas withdrawn from the border of the country of earth, will arrive at the battlefield in three days.

As for Konoha's support, it will take six days at the fastest.

Konoha didn't expect that Iwagakure and Sagakure reached an agreement so quickly, and they were in trouble, and Iwagakure's third generation Tsuchikage put Konoha together.

Before Konoha was weakened, no two ninja villages dared to lose both. Konoha's blow was not something that a certain ninja village could bear.

In order to attack Konoha, the Third Tsuchikage did not hesitate to put aside the dispute with Sand Hidden Village, just to weaken Konoha as much as possible.

It is said that Tsuchikage III was on the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Grass, with [-] soldiers, neither attacking nor retreating, just threatening Konoha blatantly.

Konoha had no choice but to deploy heavy troops in the direction of Land of Earth, with a number of up to [-] Konoha ninjas. Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, was the commander of that force, and faced Iwagakushi's troops across the Land of Rain.

From this point of view, Sand Ninja is still the weakest, and Konoha has invested the least amount of troops in Sand Ninja.

The sand ninja has been publicized for a year, and it was Konoha who murdered the third Kazekage of the sand ninja.The war has reached this level, and the sand ninja is hard to get off. The war with Konoha can only succeed, not fail.

As long as the sand ninja hold back Konoha's current troops before the reinforcements arrive, they will have the opportunity to work with the support troops to wipe out Konoha's troops in the country of Kawa in one fell swoop, giving Konoha a painful blow.

Therefore, in order to preserve his strength, Konoha had to pull out his camp overnight and retreat quickly.

In the moonlight, Konoha's troops were circling a large arc, trying to break away from the constraints of the two Sand Ninja troops as much as possible.

In the battle that ended during the day, Sand Shinobi left more than 800 corpses.

In the last battle, Sand Ninja lost 700 people.

In these three days of fighting, Sand Ninja had lost 500 people, but still had 3000 troops.

The 3000 sand ninja troops were further divided into 1000 decoy troops and 2000 chasing troops.

Konoha lost 1000 people in two battles.Now, there are only 2000 Konoha troops left in Chuanuo Country.

After two battles, Duanmu also discovered that the Miyake Squadron was better at mobile combat than frontal combat.

During the battle the day before yesterday, the Miyake Squadron lost three men.

In the daytime battle, miraculously, no one was sacrificed, and the two injured people were able to continue to follow the team after simple treatment.

Walking on the wilderness under the moon, Duanmu only felt extremely tired.

Keep people from sleeping?

That is to say, the ninja's physique is different from that of ordinary people, otherwise he would have been dragged down long ago.

The fatigue of fighting during the day has not been relieved, and there is another hasty march at night.

The whole team was left with only the sound of hurrying.

Duanmu saw that Nara Shikahisa's squadron was already the same as them, closely following Minato Jonin, and he should have officially joined them, but the battle was too tense and he hadn't had time to announce it.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and countless black shadows are jumping on the ground. Who would have thought that this is a fleeing army?

Duanmu didn't know how long he had been walking, and he didn't know where he was going. The headquarters finally issued an order for the whole army to rest.

Many Konoha ninjas slumped to the ground, relieving their breathing after strenuous exercise.

After that, the troops simply set up the camp and arranged for patrolling ninjas, and the large troops finally ushered in a precious rest.

Duanmu and the two members of the team were lying on the ground, and it was impossible for a tent to have a tent.

I can't control so much, use the sky as the quilt, use the ground as the mat, and just fall asleep like this.

The next day, when it was still daylight, Duanmu was called out by Captain Miyake.

It's over, here we go again.

Duanmu swayed and still had a wooden head. He only felt that his head was as heavy as a stone. He only supported himself with one breath, and continued to move forward with the team.

Just stop and go like this, after a day of dodging, Konoha's troops finally got rid of the threat of sand ninja.

Duanmu should thank the Hyuga clan, Bai Yan made great contributions in this escape.

At night, Konoha's troops were even in the mood to set up tents for the night, and Duanmu finally got a good night's sleep, cleaning away the tension and exhaustion of many days.

After Duanmu rested for a whole night, the atmosphere of the survivors in the army suddenly disappeared and became tense and heavy.

Duanmu hurriedly asked around.

The actions of Sand Ninja's main force greatly exceeded Konoha Command's expectations.

After discovering that Konoha started to flee, Sand Shinobi was not ready to play hide-and-seek with Konoha's troops.

According to the intelligence forces, Sand Ninja's main force of about 2000 troops is heading directly to the border of the Land of Fire.

The headquarters did not dare to delay and had to take action.

If Konoha's troops do not engage in battle, then Sand Ninja's troops will directly enter the Land of Fire, directly burning the flames of war on the land of the Land of Fire, causing even greater damage.

After the disappearance of Kazekage III, at this time last year, that is, at the beginning of Konoha's 46th year, Sand Shinobi suddenly and without warning a large force raided the border of the Land of Fire.

Because it was so sudden, that raid dealt a huge blow to the production and economy of the Fire Nation.

The fire country daimyo was very angry, and sent diplomats to ask Konoha Village.

Now that the war has been going on for a whole year, if the flames of war burn again in the territory of the Kingdom of Fire, no one can afford such a responsibility.

As a last resort, Adviser Danzo gave an order, no matter how difficult it is, to find the sand ninja troops for a decisive battle!
