Chapter 134 It’s time to change the guard again
Hearing this, the three of them turned around and saw a ninja standing behind them nervously.
Both Minato and Kakugi had the impression that this person was Natsuki who Kakumu had treated just now.
"You are..." Mimura Hazaki had no impression of Natsuki. After all, Natsuki was just an ordinary chuunin, and there were so many ninjas in the camp.
"This is Natsuki. Thanks to him delivering information to the front for me today, everyone was able to prevent the Iwa Ninja's surprise attack."
Seeing Natsuki's nervous look, Kazuoki quickly introduced Natsuki, and then asked kindly: "Natsuki, what's the matter?"
After hearing Kakugi's introduction, Mimura Hazaki sighed lightly. He still remembered the young man who lit his cigarette for him on the frontline battlefield.
He knew what Natsuki had come to him for.
"Mimura-sama, has my brother, Natsuki, been sacrificed?"
Natsuki looked at Mimura Hazaki nervously with an uncertain tone.
Xia Shu always believed that his brother could come back safely and listened to himself brag about his deeds in today's battle.
The Iwa ninja has retreated, and he is looking forward to his brother returning from the front line as soon as possible.
But the moment he saw Mimura Hazaki, he knew that his brother might not come back.
Oddly enough, Natsuki didn't feel terribly sad. Instead, he desperately wanted to know a question.
"Master Mimura, I just want to know that my brother's life has contributed to the village, right?"
Mimura Yeju's body suddenly stiffened, and then her big hand slowly reached into her arms.
He took out Xia Mu's forehead protector from his arms, held it carefully, and handed it to Xia Shu solemnly.
The small forehead protector seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in his hands.
Mimura Hazaki looked into Natsuki's eyes and nodded fiercely: "Of course! Your brother is the hero of the village!"
When Xia Shu heard this, she smiled slightly, and tears seemed to slip quietly.
"That's right. That's great!"
He carefully put away his brother's forehead protector, bowed deeply to Mimura Hazaki, and ran away.
After changing his nervous look just now, his steps seemed a little lighter.
Kazuoki and Minato watched all this in silence.
Mimura Hazaki sighed softly: "This is our ninja of Konoha!"
----
Huangtu led the Iwa Ninja and retreated to the Grass Country.
The thousand ninja army led by Iwagakure Jonin Huoguang and used to contain Kusagakure Village also withdrew.
This raid, which Iwagakure Village had planned for several months and finally managed to find a fighter plane, was officially declared a failure.
The Thousand Rock Ninjas in the flames didn't suffer any losses. The Grass Ninjas were just guys who fell with the wind, and there was no battle at all.
According to statistics, the 7,000 ninja army led by Huang Tu had more than 2,000 ninja casualties!
The Iwa Ninja dispatched a total of 8,000 ninjas, but now there are only more than 5,000 ninjas capable of fighting.
Such a number is enough to make Iwa Ninja exhausted.
Even the last time ten thousand ninjas sniped at the Third Raikage, they didn't cause such heavy casualties!
Half of these casualties came from Konoha's Umino Tsunoki.
At the same time, Huangtu also received the news that the East Dead Man was killed in battle and all his ninjas were wiped out by Namikaze Minato.
Huangtu slammed his fist on the table, telling the Iwa ninjas that if they encounter Namikaze Minato, they can give up the mission immediately!
If you encounter Umino Tsunoki, kill him at any cost!
At the same time, Huang Tu quietly contacted the underground forces in the ninja world.
A few days passed, and a reward from Kakugi suddenly appeared at the underground money exchange in the ninja world.
Bounty, fifty million taels!
However, no matter what, Iwa Ninja will be forced to cease his activities for a while.
Not to mention the loss of ninjas to replenish, even to restore the morale that fell due to the defeat, it will take some time.
On the other side, Minato, who had a general understanding of the situation at the Grass Country camp, had returned to the command post.
He was having a headache with Misura Hazaki in the command post.
Without him, Konoha's losses in this battle have been calculated.
In this battle, Konoha suffered an astonishing 1,500 casualties!
The total number of Konoha's ninja troops in the Grass Country camp was only 3,500. In this battle, nearly half of them were killed!
This is still a situation where Mimura Haumaki desperately cuts off the back, and Minato and Kakugi come to the rescue in time.
If Minato and Kakugi had not arrived in time, Konoha's losses in this battle would have been even greater.
It might even be annihilated.
Minato slowly closed the battle damage report and looked at Mimura Hazaki.
Both of them looked happy.
After discussing the battle situation and battle plan for a while, Mimura Hazaki went back to rest.
Minato was left alone and brooding at his desk.
First, we must ask the village for help!
The Caoyin Village side also needs to be beaten.
Furthermore, there are a bit of a shortage of experts at the Grass Country Camp.
At the Chuan Country Camp, not only was Jiraiya in charge, but he also had Ino Lu Die who could help him.
As for Minato, apart from Minato himself, only Misura Hamaki is considered an elite jounin.
In fact, when Orochimaru was originally there, there were still a few elite jounin to help him, but these people all left the Country of Grass with Orochimaru's departure.
Because these people all come from the roots.
In short, we need people, whether they are ordinary ninjas or masters!
Suddenly, Minato thought of a candidate, and a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.
At this time, Kazuoki didn't know that his head was already more valuable than Asuma.
He was currently lying on a bed in the barracks, about to fall asleep.
Suddenly a gentle call awakened his spirit.
"Kakugi-san, are you there?"
Hearing that it was Minato's voice, Kakuzu stood up numbly and welcomed Minato into the room.
After Minato came in, he went straight to the point: "Kakugi-san, are you interested in staying on the front line?"
Kadomu smiled bitterly upon hearing this. It's been less than two months since I became an ANBU, are you leaving again?
Kadomu desperately wants to improve his strength, and to improve his strength, he must make more use of the system and fight more.
Calculating the time, it has only been more than three years since the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
It has been more than a month since Kakugi served as ANBU, and Kakugi has taken on two B-level and above tasks, although it is dirty work.
But being able to meet Nagato and have a brief encounter with him, Kazuoki gained a lot.
The Anbu did have more tasks and more battles than before following Uminoban, which also brought about a faster improvement in strength.
But in addition to using the system to improve strength, Kakumu also needs to consider other aspects.
To put it simply, Kakugi still wants to continue living in Konoha Village.
Namikaze Minato personally invited him late at night, which was undoubtedly a sign of appreciation and respect.
It was obvious that Bo Feng Shuimen could negotiate with the top management and then give him direct orders.
If nothing else, Namikaze Minato will be the future Fourth Hokage.
And looking at the current situation on the front line of the Land of Grass, the military strength must be very tight.
The strength gap with Iwagakure is also relatively large.
If you stay here, there will be no less battles in the future.
So Kadomu nodded directly to express his agreement.
Seeing Minato break out into a smile, Kazuoki quickly added, "I have a condition."
"Oh?" Minato looked at Kakugi curiously.
Kakugi said: "If Minato-sama wants to keep me on the front line, please don't send me some boring missions."
Word after word, his expression was extremely serious.
"Haha! Don't worry, Kakugi-san. I won't let you idle."
Minato smiled heartily and expressed his affirmation of Tsunoki's conditions.
