Naruto's youthful blood

Chapter 143 Falling into Desperation

At the end of the day, Konoha's army only escaped for more than a dozen kilometers. This speed is as slow as a turtle for a ninja.

Because the attacks along the way have never stopped, and the road ahead of them is full of death traps, too many to be guarded against.

The Konoha army could only take every step of the way and escape carefully, otherwise the trap alone would wipe out their entire army.

At night, they could only walk slowly, because sand ninja would attack them non-stop at night, and they had no time to rest at all.

The next day they fled for 30 kilometers. Everyone had dark circles on their faces and were exhausted.

On the third day, they fled 40 kilometers away, but the troops that had been about 2000 before the escape were now less than [-].

For the past three days, Hatake Sakumo tried his best to protect them, but it was of no use. They still died one by one.

The opponents all use powerful ninjutsu and run away with one blow from a distance.

When Hatake Sakumo arrived, he could only see the figure of the enemy going away.

In Konoha Village, as soon as the news of the defeat came back to Konoha, the people in Konoha suddenly felt sad. Those ninja families who sent their relatives to the battlefield seemed to be falling, full of fear and despair.

Konoha is defeated!The whole army may be wiped out.

There were 5000 Konoha ninjas before the war, and there were less than 2000 left when the battle was defeated. Can these almost 2000 people escape?Even if they were able to escape, how many of them could...survive in the end?
Although there are tens of thousands of ninjas in Konoha Village, these are all for the protection of the local ninjas in the Land of Fire. Even Naruto Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot use them easily, otherwise the daimyo of the Land of Fire will definitely blame them.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't send many ninjas to support him, he could only hope that the defeated army would be taken back by the roots.

Numerous ninja family members went to the Hokage Building to question why the war failed. Although Hiruzaru Sarutobi wanted to keep the reason for the defeat secret, the ninja who came back from the front for help still told the truth angrily.

When the family members of more than 5000 ninjas knew the reason for the defeat, they were all furious. How could Hatake Sakumo prevent so many Konoha elites from coming back for one subordinate.

The Konoha ninjas on the battlefield couldn't forgive Hatake Sakumo, even the subordinate that Hatake Sakumo rescued couldn't forgive him, the captain, for causing Konoha such a disastrous defeat for him alone.

Everyone looked at Sakumo Hatake with blame. No matter how Sakumo Hatake made up, it couldn't make up for everyone's trust.

They retreated for four days and nights while fighting, and they had already fled to the edge of the Land of Rain, and they were only a few kilometers away from returning to the Land of Fire.

And there are only a poor 500 of them left, and only 5000 of 500 left!

Whether these 500 people can run back to the Land of Fire is still a question mark. Even if they can run back, only one-tenth of them are left. Although the entire army is not wiped out, it is still close.

Orochimaru looked at the few remaining companions, and said unwillingly: "It seems that this war is over."

Orochimaru's heart was full of aggrieved and shame, being beaten by the enemy helplessly.

"What did you say? We Konoha will never lose, the village will definitely send another army over, and we can fight back." Jiraiya refuted Orochimaru loudly.

He is also very unwilling, Konoha has never suffered such a big loss.

Turning to bed Xiaochun coldly reprimanded: "Calm down, send the army again, don't even think about it, the daimyo will definitely not agree, the safety of the country of fire is the priority, and...even if we all go together, we can temporarily suppress the tailed beast, but don't Forget that the opponent's masters and ninja troops are not vegetarians, we don't have enough troops to fight this war anymore."

To deal with the coalition forces of Iwanin and Sand Ninja, there must be enough ninja troops to suppress the opponent's troops, enough masters to suppress the opponent's masters, and finally, the most critical thing, there must be someone who can suppress the offensive of the two tailed beasts.

Suppress the opponent's ninja troops?The opponent has a coalition of nearly 7000 ninjas. To suppress or contain so many people, Konoha must have at least 5000 ninjas in combat.

This is not counting the opponent's high-ranking Chiyo, Kazemaru, Ishiji and other kage-level masters. These people must also be restrained.

There are also the two most terrifying tailed beasts, they are simply magic weapons of war, and wherever the tailed beast jade blasts, there will be casualties.

Tsunade was exhausted in treating the wounded. It had been 4 days and 4 nights in a row, and he might faint at any time. They were beaten so badly in this battle.

Mitomonyan looked at the disheartened subordinates and said helplessly: "It's good to be able to retreat! This battle... we have already lost"

"Looks like this is the only way to go!" Zhuanzhu Xiaochun calmly agreed.

At this moment, there was a screaming siren, enemy attack?
Everyone's face changed, and they all became nervous. They have been chased by sand ninja and iwa ninja for the past four days. They are always attacked suddenly. Every time they are attacked, several subordinates will die. unspeakable.

Now even if they want to withdraw from this war, the enemy will not let them go obediently.

Hatake Sakumo's eyes were bloodshot, and he has been sleepless for the past four days, desperately making up for his mistakes and doing his best to protect everyone's safety.

Upon hearing the alarm, Hatake Sakumo gritted his teeth and was the first to rush out.

"Where is the enemy?" Sakumo Hatake asked nervously, rushing to the ninja who raised the alarm.

The ninja of the Hyuga clan who issued the alarm said with an ugly face: "Our retreat route has been completely blocked, and there are enemies over there!"

Hatake Sakumo looked in the direction of the Land of Fire, and said firmly, "You guys wait here, I'll fight my way there."

"Master Sakumo..." Although he had a lot of opinions on Sakumo Hatake, at this moment, the ninja of the Hyuga clan was still moved by Sakumo Hatake's behavior.

Hatake Sakumo has been fighting for 4 days and 4 nights without rest.

Now it is exhausted, and there is not much chakra left.

In such a situation, rushing out to fight, what is the difference between this and dying?
However, Hatake Sakumo pulled out his white teeth and rushed towards the direction blocked by the enemy firmly. Through this direction, he could return to the mainland of the Land of Fire. If he could not break through, the only result would be the annihilation of the entire army.

Hatake Sakumo held White Fang in his hand and walked forward.

On the way, he saw the corpses of several Konoha scouts. These Konoha ninjas explored the way first, and they had already been poisoned.

Seeing the tragic death of these companions, Hatake Sakumo turned his face away, showing a look of grief, and continued to move forward.

what's ahead?
Rumble!
Hatake Sakumo felt the ground shaking, and a long high wall rose up, completely blocking their way back to the Kingdom of Fire.

"Bastard!" Hatake Sakumo showed a look of despair, obviously this time Iwanin and Sandin did not plan to let them go, and wanted to wipe them all in the land of rain.

Thousands of rock ninjas jointly used the soil dungeon to raise a high wall of more than 30 meters, completely blocking the way for Konoha ninjas to return to the country of fire. They stood on the high wall and guarded quietly.

Even if Konoha's masters can't stop them, none of those Chunin and Genin can escape.

The army of rock ninja and sand ninja is getting closer and closer. They are not in a hurry.
