Konoha: This Uchiha is very stubborn

"Oh, that's the Eight Gate Dunjia!"

On a high ground by the port, Toshiro looked at the battle situation on the battlefield from a distance.

Although he didn't plan to take action personally, he couldn't really let it go.

"Yejuan, record it carefully, this person deserves to be trained well!"

Since Kai performed well, he didn't mind training him well.

"Also, how are the preparations for ocean-going ships going?"

Seeing the mist ninja on the battlefield starting to retreat in an organized manner, Toshiro didn't take it seriously and started asking about the ships.

"Some ships have been collected, but time is tight and the number is not enough to transport us all to the Kingdom of Water at once."

"A maximum of more than a thousand people can be transported at a time. This is mainly due to the fact that when the Mist Ninja retreated, they took away most of the ocean-going ships."

As the commander here, Mimura Hazaki is still very concerned about the tasks assigned by the Hokage. However, the Mist Ninjas have indeed sailed away all the ocean-going ships that can be sailed away.

This ship, which can transport more than a thousand people, was prepared by the Hokage in advance and transferred from other places.

"Are there more than a thousand people?" The number of people was a little small, but he didn't intend to give up. "Choose an elite force of a thousand people, and the rest will stay where they are and garrison them!"

This time, no matter what, the trouble of the Mist Ninja must be solved.

This group of people always take advantage of their geographical advantage and come to the mainland to harass them. When things go wrong, they run to the sea to escape.

And their country of fire is most affected by this.

"Lord Hokage... taking a thousand people to the Kingdom of Water... isn't it a bit... risky?"

He originally wanted to say it was a big deal, but after thinking about it, he changed it to risking it.

"Yes! The Godaime, it should be almost done here. Is this enough for us?"

Not only Misura Hamaki, but even Sarutobi Hiruzen also started to persuade at this time.

"After today's big defeat, I think the Mist Ninja will calm down a lot."

Called Toshiro Hokage, he always felt a little weird, so he was always called the Fifth Generation.

"Chief Sarutobi is overly worried. This is also an opportunity for us Konoha. As long as we show Konoha's due strength in this war, there will be a lot less temptation from the surrounding neighbors."

The so-called three things to do when a new official takes office. As soon as he, the fifth generation, took office, the Mist Ninja made such a big noise to celebrate.

If he had stopped, the temptations from his neighbors would probably follow one after another.

"That's the truth, but...will this make hatred accumulate deeper and deeper?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was still a little dissatisfied with Toshiro taking him to the Kingdom of Water, but at this time, he could only start to persuade him earnestly.

There was nothing he could do, the other party was now Hokage, and he was just the leader of the Sarutobi clan.

I can stand here and chat with the other party, but the other party sees that I am old and injured.

Otherwise, like the ninjas below, I will become cannon fodder.

"This time, don't go there with the purpose of killing!"

After explaining casually, Toshiro continued:

"Of course, it's a bit risky to do this, which is one of the reasons why I only take a thousand people with me."

"Furthermore, the Mist Ninja won a great victory on the battlefield. It is the right time to take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory. If we miss this opportunity, it will not be so easy to solve the Mist Ninja problem so easily in the future!"

The reason why he only brought a thousand people was partly because there were not enough ships, but also because if there were too many people, he would simply not be able to take care of them.

As for the Mist Ninja, if they don't take advantage of the fact that they have lost the Mizukage and are uneasy internally to get rid of them, when they re-elect a Fifth Generation Mizukage, there will be a lot of trouble.

It was better to take advantage of this opportunity and force them to sign a peace agreement with Konoha, so that he could worry less.

"Hokage-sama, those mist ninjas have begun to retreat. Do we want to pursue them?"

Seeing that the Hokage had made up his mind, Ye Juan stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, he looked at the retreating Mist ninja below and began to ask the Hokage about his next move.

"No need! Let everyone come back and rest for half a day, and then we will board the ship directly and head to the Kingdom of Water."

What they were short of now was time. While the Kirigakure had more than half of their troops and Xuan stayed in the waters around the Land of Fire, they took advantage of the emptiness inside Kirigakure to pierce their hearts.

"Go down and make arrangements. You stay here to guard!"

"yes!"

…

That night, more than ten or twenty large ships sailed on the sea.

"Terumi Mei-sama, why don't we go over and harass you?"

A few kilometers behind the fleet, a group of fog ninja troops with less than a hundred people followed closely behind. One of them, a man wearing an eyepatch, looked at Terumi Mei beside him.

After hesitating for a moment, he still asked his question.

"Since we are on the sea and we have an absolute advantage, is it not a little bad to just let them go to the Kingdom of Water?"

Not only him, but the fog ninjas around him looked at the lights in the distance with very gloomy expressions.

These Konoha ninjas are so bold. They dare to chase them to the sea so carelessly. Do they really think that the Mist ninjas are just fish to be slaughtered?

"We have just tried it. The other party's vigilance is very high, and the Fifth Hokage personally takes action, so we have almost no chance!"

Sighing, Terumi Mei said with a complicated expression.

"I didn't expect that the majestic Hokage's water escape skills would be so... exaggerated!"

She was a little unbelievable when she thought about the water escape the other party used when they just made a tentative attack.

You are obviously a Hokage, but you can do water escape so well, how can we Mist ninjas survive?

"Then we can't just look at it like this!" Momochi Zabuza, who had no eyebrows, narrowed his eyes and suggested: "How about we turn around and attack the Konoha garrison?"

"Since they attacked the village, they must have taken away a large number of elites. We will regroup the troops and then attack the remaining Konoha ninjas. This can also reduce some pressure on the village!"

Although Momochi Zabuza hates the village's higher-ups, he still has good feelings for the village itself.

The original plan was to go directly to the sea to let these Konoha ninjas who dared to go into the sea to pursue them know how powerful their mist ninjas were.

However, when he thought about the fate of the few mist ninjas who had just gone to test, he looked at his companions around him, and finally shook his head, giving up this unrealistic idea.

It would be nice if there were more people. If there were a large number of companions to distract the other party, there might be some hope.

"It's okay to do this... but our number is really too small~"

Terumi Mei sighed again, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

"Aren't there many Mist Ninjas who have been arranged to take refuge on some secluded islands? With the participation of these people, there will be no problem in doing this kind of thing!"

The proposal was rejected by Terumi Mei, but Zabuza did not intend to give up. In his opinion, with the addition of those cannon fodder, attacking Konoha's remaining troops would not only break the opponent's camp.

But it would be good to have some harassment effect and make the Fifth Hokage of Konoha in front have some scruples.

"no!"

Terumi Mei directly rejected Zabuza's proposal.

"The casualties caused by this are too great! They don't have many decent weapons in their hands, and it's not easy to barely maintain their own survival."

"If they attack Konoha ninja again, how big a difference is it to them from facing death?"

Not only weapons, but those people now have no supplies and lack of medical treatment. It is already very difficult to feed themselves.

"This won't work, and that won't work either!"

The proposals were rejected by Terumi Mei one after another, and Zabuza began to become a little irritable.

"Then tell me, what should we do now? We can't just do nothing!"

"..."

Terumi Mei was speechless about this, but in any case, she would not agree to let those ninjas who had been arranged to take refuge there participate in the battle.

In her opinion, the Mist Ninja had lost the war this time, and the losses were already very heavy.

Those fog ninjas are the cornerstone of the village. If they suffer huge losses, the recovery time of the village will be infinitely longer.

In the long run, this is extremely uneconomical.

"Well...I have a proposal!"

Just when Terumi Mei was thinking about what to do, the tall Mikigaki Kisame expressed his opinion.

"I contracted a group of sharks, which can barely bring us back to the village. The speed should not be slower than the opposite fleet!"

They were all mist ninjas, and long-distance marching on the sea was as basic a skill as Konoha ninjas jumping back and forth in the forest.

His psychic beast only needs to provide a place to rest when they are tired.

With the strength of this group of people, even if they encounter natural disasters such as storms and tsunamis, there will be no big problems.

"You are...Kakisaki Kisame!"

With his unique skin color, tall figure, and small but sharp eyes, Terumi Mei immediately recognized the other person's identity.

This guy's reputation in the Mist Ninja Village was not very good, which was one of the reasons why she incorporated him into the rear army.

Just as Mei Terumi was discussing with her subordinates how to get to the Kiri Ninja Village one step ahead of them, Toshiro was in the cabin, holding a scroll and reading it with gusto.

"The Nidaime is really thorough in his research on water escape!"

As the Hokage, he could read all the information about Konoha. This time when he came to the Mist Ninja, he brought the Nidaime's scroll about water escape.

"Hizashi, those fog ninjas aren't catching up with them anymore?"

Looking at Hizashi next to him, with blue veins popping out at the edges of his eyes, Toshiro asked a little impatiently.

This bunch of mist ninjas really didn't even blink. I was waiting for them to come to my door. Why were they all so timid?

"...Hokage-sama, those fog ninjas seem to have retreated!"

Seeing the eagerness on Toshiro's face, Hizashi stopped his investigation and bowed to Toshiro very respectfully.
