Ninja Shiranui

The Iwa ninja did retreat, and early in the morning, Jiraiya met his favorite disciple Namikaze Minato.

The Thousand Iwa Ninjas of Kannabi Bridge are definitely the last strength of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki's desperate effort. After Minato Squad successfully repels these enemies, it means that the senior Iwa Ninjas understand that the situation is over. Even Onoki himself does not want to retreat, but the human heart cannot be broken. , it is impossible for him to continue to force his Iwa ninjas to fight Konoha to the end under such circumstances.

Onoki was still somewhat conscious after all, so Iwa Ninja had no choice but to retreat.

By this time, more than half of the victory in the three battles was in Konoha's hands.

But Namikaze Minato couldn't show much joy in front of his teacher. It wasn't that he was unhappy or excited, but that his disciple's sacrifice completely suppressed this emotion.

Jiraiya also sighed after listening carefully to Minato's report. He actually liked Obito, a lively young man.The situation when Jiraiya was struggling in the third generation team was very similar to the way he got along with Minato's three disciples. The cold genius Orochimaru, the playful and mischievous Jiraiya, and probably the violent female Tsunade. Lin is not a gentle girl like this.

Although he wanted to comfort his disciple, Jiraiya opened his mouth and talked about business:

"The Iwa ninja has retreated. Our next main enemy is Kirigakure. Although they have not made any large-scale attacks since the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were destroyed, but unlike Kumogakure who is completely quiet, Kirigakure's gang has always been It’s small moves all the time.”

"We have enemies on all sides. We have suffered heavy losses in the past two years and are short of manpower. So Minato, you probably don't have time to rest yet. I don't think it will take long for the old man's order to come down, and you should be transferred to the Kirigakure front line."

When talking about the upcoming battle, Minato became more energetic:

"Although I heard that Kirigakure has always been uneasy, but under the current circumstances, do they still dare to stir up trouble?"

Although the 22-year-old Minato was dressed in a dirty ninja costume, he could not hide his heroic and confident aura. His golden hair was illuminated by the sun, and his handsome face made him look like a handsome man.Coupled with the fact that he swept through various battlefields in this war that lasted for nearly three years and gained a great reputation, it can be said that he is now the most prestigious and outstanding one among the younger generation in Konoha.

The Sannin and Konoha White Fang who emerged during World War II may not be able to compare to Namikaze Minato at this time.

He is powerful, handsome, and comes from a commoner background. In the eyes of others, he can be said to be perfect no matter how he looks.

"I don't think they are so unwise, but there are some things in this world that cannot be logical. Judging from the current situation, Sunagakure is too weak. Kumogakure, Iwagakure and we all suffered heavy losses. Relatively speaking, we The one who needs the most precaution is Kirigakure. Of course it's best if nothing happens. If something happens, we are prepared in advance, so we can minimize the harm."

Jiraiya patiently explained that as a teacher, he had nothing to teach his disciples in ninjutsu, but after all, after living for so many more years, he could still give Minato some pointers in terms of experience.

Minato just nodded after hearing this, thinking in his mind.

If we only talk about the current situation of Kirigakure and Konoha, then Konoha may indeed be in some decline. War cannot be fought with empty words. Money and lives must be stuffed into this meat grinder. There is no doubt that Kirigakure is here. In this regard, it has an advantage over Konoha.But in contrast, no matter how heavy the losses in Konoha are now, the top combat power of the elite jounin level is not actually lost very much. However, Kirigakure lost the seven ninja swordsmen from the beginning. The most capable group of forces.

Putting himself in Kirigakure's perspective, Minato couldn't think of a reason for Kirigakure to take action.

Even if Konoha is weak now, Kirigakure cannot take it. Minato is confident to say that unless Kirigakure joins forces with Iwagakure and Kumogakure, it will be impossible to take Konoha, but how can the other villages compare to each other? Is there any trust at all?And after Onoki killed the Third Raikage in the pit, the possibility of any two villages joining forces was very small.

Konoha, which can resist the four major ninja villages taking turns, is definitely not a freeloader.

What the teacher said about taking precautions before they happen is indeed reasonable. Instead of carrying out large-scale attacks, we do need to be wary of small moves and conspiracies in secret.

After sharing their views on the situation with Jiraiya for a while longer, Minato left the tent.

It was busy outside. After the Iwa ninja retreated, Konoha no longer needed to continue to accumulate a large amount of combat power here, and would gradually evacuate.If it weren't for the fear that the Iwa Ninja would fake a retreat and actually attack, there wouldn't even be a need to evacuate in batches.

Some of the thousands of ninjas will retreat directly to Konoha, while the rest will go to other fronts after resting. The ongoing battle does not exist. These troops are deployed only for defense.

In other words, the war was over.

No unexpected words.

"Teacher Watergate!"

Kakashi and Lin, who were waiting outside, were squatting side by side against the tent, but stood up when Minato came out.

Minato smiled habitually, and then suddenly paused.When he saw the two people, he subconsciously wanted to ask: Where is Obito?This scene often happened before, because it was common for the guy to be late, so he often said this sentence.

"You guys should go back and rest first." Minato finally said with a smile: "After completing the mission, you came back with me. You haven't rested yet, so you must be very tired."

Kakashi was wearing a mask, and one of his eyes was wrapped in white gauze, making his expression completely invisible.Lin's face was full of sadness, with wet tears still hanging on her face.

The two men responded in unison, then turned and left.

Minato was silent for a long time, and then steeled himself. He still had many things to deal with, and he didn't have time to dwell on the pain of losing his disciple.It's not too late to think about all this after the war is over.

At this time, Jian had already set off back to Konoha with a group of people.

Since it was evacuated in batches, the first to be evacuated were the young, sick, and disabled, including him, and the injured who were still able to move were evacuated as it should be, and someone like this who was only six years old was indeed too young. The ninjas were originally forced to go to the battlefield due to lack of strength. Now that the pressure has dropped sharply, it is not difficult to understand why they ordered these children to withdraw to the village.

After all, I should be glad that I came to this world at the right time. I encountered several dangers in just a few days on the battlefield. If I don’t have the absolute strength to stay in this environment for a longer time, I’m cheating. It’s also hard to guarantee that you can survive.

His injuries have fully recovered and he is now feeling relaxed.

Almost everyone in the team of about hundreds of people is a wounded person, so the movement speed is very slow. After all, you can't expect the wounded to jump tens of meters or dozens of meters like ninjas usually do when they are on the road, otherwise the wound may be torn.

I walked slowly all afternoon and still couldn't get out of the forest.

I was among more than a dozen children of about the same age. During the evening break, I sat down against a large rock sheltered from the wind. I took a bite of a compressed biscuit in my hand.

Busy as a hen with a flock of chickens along the way, the young woman was lighting a bonfire and preparing dinner for the children.

Several of these children were genin who had officially graduated from ninja school like Ma, but the others were orphans from other villages.I heard that this woman was a medical ninja and the director of an orphanage in Konoha. These orphans from other villages would be brought back to the orphanage for adoption.

At first, he didn't care much about this information, until he overheard the woman who looked to be about 20 years old holding a white-haired child younger than himself and said:

"From now on, please call me Kabuto, Yakushi Kabuto. How about that?"
