Naruto: Dragon Jinchūriki

In the frontal battlefield, Konoha was not too strenuous. There were two large families with limited blood inheritance, the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan. In addition, the Iwagakure Village was obviously not working hard.

Although I don't know what Iwagakure's plan is, such relaxation is a good thing for Konoha. After all, they are facing two major ninja villages at the same time.

Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen also asked Konoha's Anbu reconnaissance team to strengthen the monitoring of Iwagakure Village to prevent Iwagakure Village from taking advantage of the loopholes. It would be troublesome if there was a fire in the rear during the war.

On the Sunagakure Village side, Hatake Sakumo led Konoha's troops to pursue them into the Kingdom of Wind.

"Lord Sakumo, the troops from Sunagakure Village have entered the hinterland of the Kingdom of Wind. Should we continue to pursue them?"

"Chase! But there is no need to chase so closely."

"Are there any other arrangements?"

"Well, let's hold the large army of Sunagakure Village from a distance so that they don't dare to stop. Then we draw out a small team and pull out all the garrison points of Sunagakure Village along the way!"

"Understood!"

Hatake Sakumo is determined to make Sunagakure Village completely afraid this time. Their large forces are retreating, and in the process there will inevitably be delays in contact.

He just wanted to take advantage of this, scout along the way to find the hidden strongholds of Sunagakure Village within the borders of the Kingdom of Wind, and then eliminate them all one by one.

Facing the large army of Sunagakure Village, although they were defeated, Konoha's troops did not have an absolute advantage.

If the troops from Sunagakure Village return to Sunagakure Village and recall all the remaining troops from the strongholds in the Kingdom of Wind, then Konoha's pursuit troops will face enemies from the front and rear.

Of course, if Konoha did not continue to pursue, this situation would not occur, but this went against Hatake Sakumo's original intention.

Therefore, he requested that on the way, while the communication in Sunagakure Village was temporarily cut off, all the troops in the stronghold who might return for reinforcements were eliminated.

In this case, even if the large army of Sunagakure Village returns to the Ninja Village, the available troops will only increase the number of ninjas stationed in the village, and there will not be much pressure on Konoha's team.

The actual situation was as he expected. Along the way, the large troops in Sand Hidden Village just fled in confusion and had no time to contact the station.

After all, there weren't actually many teams stationed at the station. Even if they merged with those stationed at the station, they still couldn't resist Konoha's pursuit.

It may even happen that time is wasted due to rendezvous with the garrison troops, resulting in being overtaken by Konoha Village. At that time, a head-on contact battle cannot be avoided.

This would be very detrimental to Sunagakure Village, so the Third Kazekage's order was to rush back to the village at full speed regardless of everything.

On this point, Chiyo and the Third Kazekage have the same opinion. When they return to the village, if Konoha is still chasing them, then use the natural defense line of the village to hold back Konoha's team.

Then a message was sent out for all the troops stationed at the base to gather and attack from behind Konoha. Then the large troops in the village attacked at the same time to form a pincer attack.

But what they didn't expect was that Hatake Sakumo understood their plan first, and the pursuing troops along the way were just for show.

The key high-end combat power has been concentrated into a small team, which has been searching for and eliminating the effective forces in Sand Hidden Village, and has uprooted one stronghold after another in the Kingdom of Wind.

The ninjas guarding those strongholds had no idea that the large forces had retreated, so they were unprepared and were caught off guard by Konoha.

"Rose Tree, I'm going out for a while. During this period, don't be lazy in training. I will check when I come back. If you let me know that you are lazy, you will suffer a lot!"

"I got it, Grandpa Zu."

"Oh, by the way, if there are guests in the tavern, remember to say hello."

"Okay, grandpa."

"Also, there are too many wild beasts in the woods. We can clean them up if necessary."

"Well, but Grandpa, where are you going? How long will it take?"

"It won't take long, probably only a few days, I'll be back in ten days or so at most. You don't have to worry about where I'm going."

After He Lianye explained to Shengshu, he left the island where the tavern was located again.

Wind escape, vacuum jade!

The strangulation team led by Hatake Sakumo encountered resistance at a stronghold in the Kingdom of Wind, but this was not a threat to him.

Banner sword technique!

The moment the short sword was unsheathed, the lives of several Sunagakure Village ninjas were harvested as quickly as possible.

However, the resistance of this stronghold was particularly tenacious. Until the end, there were still two ninjas clinging to the stronghold, which seemed incredible to him.

Originally, Hatake Sakumo thought there was some secret in this stronghold, but when he killed the two ninjas and entered the stronghold, he was a little dumbfounded.

There is not much in this stronghold, not even a lot of supplies are stored, but there is a newborn baby inside the stronghold.

After checking some of those ninjas, Hatake Sakumo realized that this stronghold had no special significance, just because a ninja couple had just given birth to a child not long ago.

These two people were the last two people who were still resisting. Therefore, Hatake Sakumo also lost interest in this place, and he no longer cared about the baby left behind.

This was a war after all. Although he did not kill the baby, he would not save it. After all, it was the offspring of his opponent, so he had to let the baby fend for itself.

If you're lucky and a ninja from Sand Hidden Village arrives here in a short time, you might be able to save the child.

"Okay, there should be no strongholds from the Kingdom of Wind on the road behind."

"Then shall we directly join the large forces to pursue them?"

"No, I can just handle the pursuit myself."

"How does this work!"

"Don't worry, the purpose of this battle is not to kill many enemies, but to make the enemies know to be afraid."

"But···"

"There's nothing to worry about. There's still a task you need to do."

"Sakumo-sama, please speak."

"I will do the pursuit. You will join the large army, then split into several small teams and disperse within the Kingdom of Wind."

"So what are we going to do?"

"Continue to sweep the strongholds of the Kingdom of Wind, and try to collect all the supplies in the strongholds back to Konoha. The war has lasted for so long, and Konoha's supplies are not that sufficient."

"Understood!"

"Remember, don't be obsessed with fighting. After you have collected enough supplies, leave me alone and go join the front troops and deliver supplies to the front troops."

"Yes! Lord Sakumo!"

Konoha's pursuit force was quickly and completely dispersed, and Hatake Sakumo alone followed the large army of Sunagakure Village to Sunagakure Village.

On the outer wall of Sunagakure Village, the Third Kazekage and Chiyo looked at Hatake Sakumo outside the village, their faces extremely ugly.

They never thought that Hatake Sakumo would dare to follow their large army to Sunagakure Village alone.

Where did those pursuit troops from Konoha go?The two of them were not stupid, and they knew after just a moment's thought that their plan was going to fail.

"Konoha White Fang, you are really brave!"

"Comparatively speaking, the courage of Sunagakure Village is really small. I can chase you back to your hometown by myself, and I don't dare to look back."

Hatake Sakumo looked contemptuous, as if he was not facing a ninja village at all, but just a group of paper tigers.
