Konoha: The King of Souls from Uchiha.

Chapter 43 Chaos and Anxiety

Faced with the overwhelming situation, the Kirigakure ninjas who had no time to evacuate began to flee in other directions.

However, facing a huge number of Konoha ninjas and a gathering of masters, most of the Kirigakure ninjas were unable to escape and died on the battlefield.

Only a few Kirigakure ninjas escaped or chose to surrender.

The battle ended, and the Konoha ninja began to clean up the battlefield.

Collect the corpses of our enemies, collect supplies from the ninjas, collect supplies from the Kirigakure camp, send the injured to the camp for treatment, and other follow-up matters.

The Kirigakure ninjas retreated in such a hurry that they had no time to take away or destroy the supplies in the camp. The seized supplies relieved a lot of logistical pressure.

They were busy until evening, and the battlefield was finally cleaned up. The tired and dirty Konoha ninjas washed off the mud on their bodies by the lake, and then returned to the camp to eat and rest.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, the Konoha ninjas began to break camp, preparing to drive the Kirigakure ninjas out of the Land of Fire.

The Fourth Mizukage Yagura mobilized ninjas from the rear to supplement the losses, but still could not withstand the sharp edge of the Konoha ninjas and was defeated again.

Although the losses this time were much less than the last time due to sufficient preparation in advance, a defeat is a defeat.

After two consecutive defeats, Kirigakure has been driven to the peninsula connecting the Country of Fire and the Country of Whirlpool. He is in a situation where he can further invade the Country of Fire and retreat to the Country of Whirlpool if he takes a step back.

If it were the middle and early stages of the war, such results would already be very good. You must know that the initial battlefield was within the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

It is necessary to defeat the Konoha ninja troops of the Country of Whirlpool before they can march to the border of the Country of Fire, but now Kirigakure has been driven out of the Country of Fire.

The result of such a battle is quite bad. All the territory of the Fire Country that was swallowed was spit out again, and the cooked duck flew away. Who can bear this?

In order to maintain the situation, the senior management of Kirigakure expressed their opinions at the high-level meeting, racked their brains, gathered everyone to direct, and finally came up with a good way to maintain the situation.

The fact of two consecutive defeats has proved that no matter what kind of defense they adopt, they cannot resist Konoha's "I don't care which way you come, I will go all the way" style of play.

Konoha simply ignored the various arrangements they made and the various methods to lure the enemy. They just stared at the position of the main force and steadily advanced, forcing an upright decisive battle with the main force.

Defending and being unable to defend, fighting and winning, and giving away the land acquired for nothing was too humiliating and unwilling, and it seemed that we had entered an endless cycle.

If you want to change the situation, maintain the situation, and strive for the smooth implementation of the tailed beast's village attack plan, you must break out of this dead cycle.

Therefore, after discussion with Kirigakure's senior management, they decided to break up the large forces into parts, use offense instead of defense, and turn passivity into initiative.

They were dispersed and lurked into the Fire Country in teams and units, and carried out operations through unconventional means such as sneak attacks on logistics supply lines, various towns in the Fire Country, Konoha camps, assassinations, ambushes, poisoning and other unconventional methods.

If I can't beat you Konoha head-on, then I won't fight you head-on. I'll force you Konoha to disperse the large forces as well, and finally everyone will have a big melee!

A chaotic situation is the best for fishing in troubled waters. There is no need to worry about procrastinating things for a long time in the Land of Fire. Under such a battlefield situation, their Kirigakure chances of winning are obviously higher.

Even if they can't win, no matter how hard it is, they can still delay the tailed beast's plan to attack the village for enough time, and wait until the plan is successful to assemble the troops to carry out the plan on a large scale.

As long as Konoha Village suffers heavy losses, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and maybe even Sunagakure who just signed a defeat contract will be ready to take action...

Once they see the weakness of Konoha and the three major ninja villages take action again, other small ninja villages will inevitably follow suit. Who doesn't want to tear off a piece of fat from the Fire Country, which is rich in resources, has an outstanding environment, and has a developed economy?

If the plan is successfully accomplished, as those who single-handedly change the situation in the ninja world and take the lead, they will definitely get the biggest piece of fat!

Thinking of the bright prospects, Kirigakure took decisive action. Not only did they sneak in from land, they also mobilized ships to invade from all directions at sea.

The Kingdom of Water may not be as good as the Kingdom of Fire in many places, but there is never a shortage of ships, and they can be conquered with great force.

Kirigakure's sudden change of tactics really caught Konoha off guard. News came from everywhere that someone was being attacked and someone was asking for help, forcing Konoha to send out ninjas to deal with it.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire was very angry when he received the news that various towns were being attacked. Because the tax revenue was affected, and the tax revenue was affected, his money was greatly reduced.

<divclass="contentadv">The angry Daimyo of the Country of Fire, while putting pressure on the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, sent diplomats to the Capital of the Country of Water to express strong protest and issue threats to the Daimyo of the Country of Water.

If the ninjas of Kirigakure Village dare to attack the towns of Fire Country again, then the ninjas of Konoha Village will retaliate.

In the ninja world, battles and wars between ninja worlds generally cannot affect civilians. Although it is not an express rule, it is a common default rule.

Using the destructive power of ninjas to cause trouble in towns and cities around the world will have a huge impact on tax revenue. No one can live a stable life, and even their lives will be threatened.

Of course, in actual battles between ninjas, the war will inevitably affect civilians, but the general scope and impact are not large, so you can turn a blind eye or close one eye.

It can be said that the ninjas of the Kirigakure Village causing trouble in towns and cities across the Land of Fire have broken the unspoken rules of the ninja world.

Therefore, the envoys sent by the Fire Country daimyo to protest and threaten are quite justified!

The name of the Kingdom of Water is unreasonable and dare not offend the big brother of the Kingdom of Fire to death. Otherwise, if the Kirigakure Village does not win, life in the Kingdom of Water will be difficult in the future.

When Konoha and the Fire Country regain their strength, the Water Country and Kirigakure Village will definitely decline greatly under the constant attack.

The Daimyo of the Land of Water sent people to the front to put pressure on Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage. Yagura agreed not to invade the town and to return two-thirds of the harvest.

It is naturally impossible to return all of them. That would be too weak. Returning two-thirds would already be a huge loss to the name of the Land of Fire.

You can't work for so long and get nothing, so aren't they Kirigakure here in vain?

Of course, it is said to be two-thirds, but in fact it is not two-thirds, only half.

Although the Fire Country Daimyo was still unhappy, he also knew that the remaining one-third would not come back.

However, the Daimyo of the Fire Country did not die down. He was a Daimyo. Ever since he ascended the throne, when had he ever suffered from such cowardice?

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire sent all the recovered money to Konoha for military expenses, and said that Konoha would give Yagura and Kirigakure those sons of bitches a good beating!

The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, readily accepted it and said he would comply. It happened that after years of war, Konoha's finances were in some embarrassment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen allocated half of the money sent to him to build war supplies and continuously sent them to the front line.

As time went by, the melee lasted for more than a month in the blink of an eye. The scope of the battle spread to the east and south of the Country of Fire, and ninjas were fighting everywhere.

Sensing that the time was right, Yagura sent two ANBU teams to secretly sneak into the Land of Fire with the container that sealed the Three-Tails, looking for a suitable Jinchūriki.

Anbu troops generally consist of four squads, each with four people, plus the squad leader, for a total of seventeen people.

There are four ANBU teams in Konoha, plus the chief and deputy ANBU ministers, a total of seventy people.

Ninja villages in the ninja world basically imitate Konoha's system, so the ANBU of Kirigakure Village is also about seventy people.

When Yagura sent people to take action, Uchiha Madara, who was hiding in the dark and had been paying attention to the development of the situation, also began to take action, sending Black and White Zetsu to guide the Kirigakure ANBU.

Uchiha Gen is not idle either. He is as busy as other ninjas. He is either performing tasks or on the way to perform tasks every day!

The only difference is that sometimes they carry out missions with three subordinates; sometimes they carry out missions with other special jounin and jounin; sometimes they carry out missions alone.

On this day, Uchiha Gen received another mission to perform alone, and decided to take advantage of the chaotic situation to complete preparations related to his future.

The difficulty of doing some things in Konoha Village is completely different from the difficulty of doing it outside the village during the war...
