Naruto infinite hangup

Iwagakure, temporary wartime headquarters.

Onoki, the Tsuchikage, was looking at the terrain map with his hands behind his back.

A few days ago, he received news that Kumogakure and Kirigakure were launching a war against Konoha. However, they encountered strong resistance from Konoha ninjas at the border, and the two sides fought fiercely.

There are not many decent descendants of this generation in Iwagakure Village. The Tsuchikage does not want to start a war at this time. Besides, it is best to reap the benefits of a war.

Things went against his wishes. Three days ago, he received an ultimatum from the old guy Kumogakure. The letter said that if Onoki didn't take action again, he would unite with Mizukage to close the country and defend. At that time, Konoha would definitely turn the blade towards Iwagakure.

War is a matter of depleting national power. Konoha is strong and the country is strong, so the depletion is relatively less. He might be unable to cope with the repeated battles, but he would never sit back and watch Iwagakure remain aloof.

So yesterday, he sent one hundred and fifty elite ninja troops to attack Konoha's defense line.

""

"Sir, why are you back?" Seeing the arrival of a team captain, the guard hurriedly spoke to him, but before he could finish his words, he was pushed away by the person coming.

The visitor rushed into the tent. There was a bone-deep wound on his shoulder. The blood almost soaked his uniform. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

"Lord Soil Shadow"

After the visitor entered the tent, he only greeted him respectfully and then stopped speaking. He knelt down on his knees.

"Kira, why are you back?" Ohnoki thought of something bad.

Kira knelt on the ground and replied hesitantly, "Lord Tsuchikage, our troops were ambushed by Konoha."

Onoki frowned and shouted coldly, "Tell me the whole story immediately! Do you still want me to ask you one sentence after another? What does it look like for an elite Jonin to hesitate?"

Ninja level is important, but it is not closely related to combat power. Most of the time it is a status symbol.

"Last night, our troops were ambushed by Konoha at Wuzui Cliff on the border of Grass Country." He paused. "On the way forward, barriers suddenly lit up around us, and the cracks in the stones on the ground were filled with detonating symbols. We fought tooth and nail to break the barrier, but by then we had lost half our men."

"Then we fought with the Konoha ninjas. Although we occupied the first line of defense, all the brothers except me were sacrificed."

Without even looking at Kira, Onoki walked past him and walked out of the tent, looking at the sky. The stars were particularly bright tonight. "You are greedy for success." He turned his head and looked at Kira who was kneeling for the first time. "Kira, are you following? How many years have you had me?"

"Eight years" Ji Liang gritted his teeth with a resolute look on his face. His daring to come back showed that he was not afraid of death. He already knew what was going to happen next.

Onoki said softly, "Yes, it's been eight years, but you haven't learned anything."

"One hundred and forty-nine ninjas, nine jounin, eighty chunin, and sixty genin." Onoki sighed, "Those genin are still children of the new generation. Their parents handed them into my hands, and I delivered them into your hands. But now, they are dead.”

Ohnoki became a little incoherent. "I even remember that when I informed the parents of those children that their children were going to the battlefield, those parents looked at me as if they were enemies."

Those children originally only went to the battlefield to observe and practice, and would not be assigned tasks. After the defense line was taken, they immediately retreated to Iwagakure Village. Ohnoki never thought that the originally foolproof operation would suffer such a foolproof disaster.

A white luminous ball condensed between Ōnoki's back palms, with a slightly concave cube framed on the outside. It was Ōnoki's blood stains that eliminated the dust.

The guard was also shocked when he saw Ohnoki condensed into dust and escaped, and quickly knelt down on one knee, "Lord Tsuchikage! Although Kira allowed his troops to be wiped out, he still captured the first line of defense. The merit is not worth the effort, but the crime will not lead to death."

"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage, Taibi is right. I believe the families of those who died in battle will also understand." This other guard was obviously friendly.

"You two don't need to say more." Onoki said calmly to himself, "I have to give an explanation to the parents of those children, and I have to give an explanation to the eighty-nine sacrificed ninjas in Iwagakure Village, and I have to give an explanation to Iwa A declaration of will."

Onoki's tone gradually became colder, "But how do you want me to tell them that their child died in a trap! How do you want me to inform the families of those sacrificed ninjas? How do you want me to tell them that their father and mother , brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters were blown up into ashes by a bunch of cheap detonating charms, and the bodies couldn’t even be found?”

Ohnoki paused, "And you! As their leader, you actually came back alive and safe!"

Kira kowtowed and said, "Kira has been entrusted by Lord Tsuchikage and is fully aware of the stakes. When I come back this time, I only want to die to appease the people inside and outside Iwagakure!"

As a Tsuchikage, Ohnoki knew in his heart that Konoha's first line of defense was just cannon fodder, and he originally planned to seize the line of defense and wait and see what happened. According to his deduction, after the defense line is taken, Konoha will ask for help from Sunagakure Village. At that time, he will just stare at Sunagakure here.

Isn't it beautiful that you fight and we cultivate?

What about the facts? They were ambushed, all the team members were dead, and the leader came running back.

Once the news spreads that Kira is alive, the morale of the troops will drop to freezing point, and the battle will be impossible to fight.

‘All the team members are dead, and the team leader has returned. Do you think we are cannon fodder? ’

‘If the leaders don’t treat us as human beings, who will sacrifice their lives for them? ’

‘It’s all good as long as you like, the higher ups won’t feel bad if we die. ’

I'm afraid seven or eight out of ten ninjas would think so. If Konoha counterattacks at this time, they will be completely destroyed. The army is helpless, how dare the soldiers die in service?

What about the village? Onoki had already begun to imagine how those children's parents would scold him. If some of the children died on the battlefield, Onoki could still remain calm. How could there be no death in a war?

But being ambushed to death was like gluing the hat of disregarding human life to his head.

Just imagine, the first sixty people who entered the battlefield died within two days. Who would want to send their children to become ninjas in the future? I trained you for eight years, and you showed me a path that would bring disaster to the country and destroy the village.

"Lord Tsuchikage, we are facing a powerful enemy. It would be unlucky to kill the leader of the Jonin team." Although Taibi saw Ohnoki's ugly face, he still spoke cautiously. After all, every Jonin has rare strength.

"Unlucky? I've never believed in ghosts and gods in my life!" Ohnoki laughed angrily, then he regained his composure and said, "Kira, so far, the only thing I value about you is your responsibility!" The brilliance in his hands completely condensed, and he shook slightly. Push, the white beam spreads, and in the blink of an eye it will hit Kira who is kneeling on the ground.
