In the Konoha camp,

Hundreds of people were seen returning in a mighty procession like a tide.

Yusuke was held tightly in Yuanli's arms throughout the journey. Although his chakra was still relatively abundant, his physical energy was consumed a lot, so that he fell into a sweet sleep early.

After learning that they had successfully destroyed the Sand Village camp, many ninjas couldn't help but cast shocked and admiring glances in the direction of Yusuke.

In this battle, Yusuke consumed a huge amount of energy, so no one dared to disturb him. There were even several medical ninjas who stayed by Yusuke's side, always keeping an eye on his physical condition.

The other wounded soldiers had no complaints about this at all. They also hoped that Yusuke was just tired and had not suffered any substantial injuries.

After the Intelligence Department had learned all the details, they began to transmit the information back to the village.

Yuan Li was reluctant to leave, but sat quietly at the door, silently guarding the sleeping Yusuke.

As Yusuke's assistant, Aburame Shiho took on the responsibility of taking care of Yusuke. She sat quietly beside the bed, gently stroking his face, feeling extremely proud of her man on the one hand, but also full of heartache on the other.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the camp was heated and many people were still immersed in the great joy of victory.

The captured Sand Ninjas were kept under the supervision of Nara Shikaku, and their fate would have to wait for news from the village.

......

The message was transmitted extremely quickly. In less than half a day, the sharp cry of Ying Jun, the messenger, was heard over the intelligence department of Konoha Village.

When the intelligence personnel saw the scroll with the special mark, they immediately rushed to the Hokage Building and handed the information to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As the war situation in the Land of Lightning was not optimistic, coupled with the impact of the Hatake Sakumo incident, Sarutobi Hiruzen had hardly returned home once during this period of time, and had not even had a good rest.

When he saw the intelligence department rushing in, his heart suddenly tightened and he prayed secretly that nothing bad would happen again.

He reached out and picked up the scroll, took a deep breath, and then untied the mark on it.

The further he looked, the brighter his smile became, and his face was already smiling like a chrysanthemum.

Before he knew it, his hearty laughter could be heard. This was the first time he had received such good news about the battlefield during this period of time.

So while he was happy, he also did not forget to build up momentum for Yusuke, so the Anbu on duty left one after another to notify the heads of various departments and the patriarchs of various families to come to the Hokage building for a meeting.

After all, if Chiyo is captured and used properly, perhaps the Sand Village will withdraw, or support Konoha and become a close ally of Konoha.

In the conference room, Sarutobi Hiruzen's laughter never stopped.

"In this battle, according to statistics, under the leadership of Yusuke, we sent a team of 500 people to launch a night attack on the Sand Village camp of about 2000 people, annihilating more than 1400 Sand Ninjas and capturing 169 alive, including Chiyo. Among them, the number of Sand Ninjas killed by Yusuke was as high as 1200."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped laughing and continued, "And the number of our casualties was 188."

After hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, everyone present smiled with joy on their faces. Since several emergency intelligence reports had been sent back from the front line of the Land of Lightning, this time was undoubtedly a great and satisfying victory.

Moreover, the casualty ratio on the Wind Country front has reached an astonishing 1 to 5. Currently, there are only about 3000 ninjas left on the Wind Country front.

"What else?" Many of them asked with great anticipation about the next piece of information.

"The number of injured and the spoils of war on the battlefield are still being counted, and a large number of teams have been dispatched to search for the Sand Ninjas in the River Country. The specific situation is still unclear."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his beard and continued, "However, according to the speculation of the General Staff, the Sand Ninja may retreat back to the Wind Country. Even if they have not surrendered, they do not have the strength to fight again. At the moment, the Sand Ninja has suffered heavy losses. Not only the ninjas, but even the supplies have been seized by us."

"Has Yusuke's strength grown to this point?" Hinata Hiashi couldn't help but sigh. Many family heads also nodded, affirming his words.

"He fought against thousands of Sand Ninjas alone and wiped out half of them. I have to say that Yusuke's strength may have surpassed that of my teacher." Sarutobi Hiruzen also kept sighing.

"This is the first time that Konoha has achieved such an important result since the Third War."

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the information, put his hands behind his back, and said seriously, "Publicize it widely. Konoha needs such morale. Besides, Yusuke's own strength is enough to match his reputation."

"Yes, Lord Hokage." The head of Konoha's Propaganda Department stood up and answered respectfully.

"As for the prisoners, what should we do with them?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the people present.

"I suggest that he be escorted back to the village. If the Sand Village wants to redeem him, let them send a representative to the village." said Utane Koharu, who was sitting next to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"At present, the Wind Country is winning a great victory on the front line, so let Yusuke send a team of 100 people to escort the prisoners back."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment, then said to the head of the Intelligence Department, "You will deliver the message."

......

With Konoha's vigorous publicity efforts, the news spread almost throughout the entire ninja world in just a few days.

Thanks to this fierce battle, Yusuke's fame suddenly surpassed that of all other people, and he deservedly became the first person to become famous and attract much attention after the Third World War.

Yusuke, who was in the camp, woke up leisurely that afternoon. The medical ninjas kept carefully checking his physical condition.

However, Yusuke could only helplessly say again and again that he really just fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Because of the awakening of the commander-in-chief Yusuke, all the ninjas in the camp quickly divided into small groups after receiving clear orders from the headquarters, and began to launch targeted sniper operations against the Sand Ninjas who were still in River Country.

No one dared to relax at all. After all, they were not sure whether their camp had been exposed, nor could they know for sure whether there would be some desperate Sand Ninja who would come to take revenge at all costs because of the hatred in his heart.

At this moment, all they could do was wait quietly, waiting for the village to tell them clearly what to do next.

Should they charge into the Wind Country in one go and fight to the end, or should they end this fierce war with the Sand Village here and then shift their main strength and energy to other battlefields.
