Konoha: My Wife is Tsunade

Chapter 253 Iwagakure withdraws his troops

The order given by the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi to Kato Midikaze was to hold Onoki and his Iwagakure army for at least a month. In fact, it was not until mid-March of the 38th year of Konoha that the exact message came from Kumogakure. intelligence information about the invasion of the Earth Kingdom.

Kato Mikaze didn't know how the Third Raikage Ai and Danzo Shimura got together, which delayed the originally planned assassination of Iwagakure by Kumogakure for so long.

It may be due to the confidentiality requirements of Kumogakure's secret operations; it may be that Kumogakure wants to expand the results of his victory and severely inflicts heavy damage on Iwagakure; or it may be that Kumogakure reflects on it and wants to take another piece of Konoha's body. Meat, arguing with Konoha at the negotiation table to delay time.

In any case, Kato Midikaze also accomplished the most important war mission assigned to him by Sarutobi Hiruzen so far.

Because of the secret alliance between Konoha and Kumogakure, Kato Mikaze received the information that Kumogakure was invading the Earth Kingdom Fuji a few days earlier than his opponent, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki.

March is the month when the rainy season of the year officially begins in the Land of Rain.

Before March, it would rain in the Land of Rain, but the temperature was too low, but it was just some sporadic light rain. Starting from March, the temperature will warm up and the average daily precipitation in the Land of Rain will gradually increase. Finally, It will remain at a very high level until the end of the year when the temperature drops.

It was during a heavy downpour at the end of March that Kato Mikaze watched the Kumogakure army retreat.

A few days ago, Onoki, the three-day Tsuchikage, received news from Iwagakure in the rear at the front line. First he lost his temper like a thunderbolt and yelled at the third-generation Raikage Ai for not practicing martial ethics and being able to sneak up on him from behind. He acted like a man and had a big fight with Kato Mikaze in front of the battle, making a posture of fighting Konoha to the death.

Onoki then quickly calmed down, knowing that this critical moment was not the time for him to lose his temper. While dealing with the Konoha army led by Kato Mikaze, he began to secretly arrange the retreat of the Iwagakure army, preparing to return to his home base. .

Kato Mikaku had no plan to eliminate Ohnoki and the Iwagakure army led by him. Let alone whether they could be completely eliminated. In order to create an opportunity for Kumogakure to sneak attack on the Earth Kingdom from behind, Konoha fought against Iwagakure on the frontal battlefield. After fighting for so long, even for more than a month longer than originally planned, it was not without paying a price.

The high number of battle casualties every day is the heavy price paid by Konoha.

Kato Mikaze himself can still fight and continue to persevere, but the ordinary Konoha ninjas he leads can be said to have reached their limit and are in urgent need of some rest.

Kato Mikaze still understands the principle of a trapped beast still fighting, and there is no need for him to consume each other with Ōnoki anymore. His mission has been completed brilliantly. In the future, the third generation Raikage Ai will definitely greet the third Tsuchikage Ōnoki well.

"Sir, are you just going to let Iwagakure's army leave easily?"

Standing behind Kato Midikaze, Hyuga Kenme, wearing a rainproof raincoat, loudly asked Kato Mitikaze, after Hatake Sakumo, Kato Mitikaze promoted Hinata Kenme who he had saved.

Hinata Kenme, who was born in the scout force, is very suitable for guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. With the Byakugan of the Hyuga family as an assistant, it can be said that he is very comfortable on the battlefield behind enemy lines.

Kato Midikaze originally promoted a familiar acquaintance casually, but who knew he could be a talented person. Recently, due to his accumulation of military exploits, Kato Midikaze promoted Hinata Takeme to his side to assist him in comprehensively coordinating all special operations teams behind enemy lines. .

"Don't let Iwagakure go? What else can we do?"

The sound of raindrops around was loud. Kato Midikaze didn't speak loudly, but his voice still reached Hinata Kenme's ears clearly.

"Would you like me to lead a special operations team to continue harassing the army that is attacking Iwagakure? They are in a hurry to retreat. I believe they will achieve considerable results."

Hinata Kenme looked at the leader in front of him who was not wearing a raincoat like him, and continued to suggest.

"Need not."

Kato Mikado stopped Hyuga Kenme's proposal without even turning around. He let go of Chakra's control over the surrounding environment and let the rain fall on his hands. He looked at the Iwagakure army gradually disappearing in the rain, and seemed to see it. Not long after, the scene of the battle between the Sandaime Raikage Ai and the Sandaime Tsuchikage Onoki.

After a while, Kato Yufeng's instructions sounded.

"In this battle, our battle between Konoha and Iwagakure is over here. Tell the brothers below to send a team of elite scouts to follow the Iwagakure army from a distance. Don't get close to them, don't do it again. Stimulate Iwagakure's sensitive nerves."

"After confirming that the Iwagakure army has all withdrawn from the borders of the Land of Rain, just report to me."

"Yes, my lord."

Hyuga Kenme didn't know why the leader didn't take advantage of Iwagakure's retreat to expand the victory, but he still accepted Kato Mitikaze's order. After saluting, he disappeared behind Kato Mitikaze with a teleportation technique and went to dispatch elite scouts.

As for Kato Yufeng, he had been standing in the rain, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Perhaps, he simply wanted to soak in the rain for a while, so that his tired mood would be washed away by the rootless water falling from the sky.

Onoki and the Iwagakure army he led were defeated from the Land of Rain. Kato Mikaze worked hard in it. He didn't know how Konoha persisted until Onoki retreated during the Second Ninja World War in the original work. However, in this life, Kato Mikaze, from the start of the Second Ninja World War to now, has gained enough military exploits and qualifications from Iwagakure.

Kato Mikaze didn't want to drag Onoki and Iwagakure's army anymore. In addition to the fact that the troops he led had indeed reached their limit, and he didn't want to have a head-on confrontation with Iwagakure, he also had another concern that he didn't want to gain more military exploits.

If possible, Kato Midikaze would use the excessive losses in this head-to-head encounter with Iwagakure to offset part of his military exploits.

How Kato Midikaze's friend Sakumo Hatake died in the original work is a mystery. Some say it was the work of Danzo Shimura, while others say it was the handiwork of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The father-in-law said that the father-in-law was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right. This is a confusing account in the original work.

Hatake Sakumo's withdrawn and old-fashioned character is definitely a reason, but after all, the fact that he has great achievements but no reward is definitely also a reason.

Regardless of whether it was true that Hatake Sakumo died because of his great achievements, given Kato Mikaze's current status in Konoha Village, he didn't want to be jealous of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo for this reason.
