Chapter 81 Withdrawal (Part )
Rasa only had to hold himself back, and it was difficult for other Konoha ninjas to resist the Suna ninja who had an absolute advantage in numbers and high morale.
Jiraiya felt scared when he thought about it.
Then, a new idea came to me.
"Shikaku, how many ninjas can we fight now?"
Jiraiya said eagerly.
Nara Shikaku saw through Jiraiya's thoughts at a glance, and said with a slightly helpless tone:
"A rough calculation just now shows that including the injured, there are about two thousand people capable of fighting."
"two thousand?!"
Jiraiya's eyes widened and he took a sharp breath.
When the war started a few days ago, there were nearly 4,500 ninjas in Konoha!
These days, nearly half of the casualties have been killed!
Seeing Jiraiya's shocked look, Nara Shikaku nodded helplessly.
"Yes, the vast majority of the casualties were caused by today's battle. As for the accurate data, we will have to wait until later."
"So far, nearly a thousand ninjas have been killed in the battle, and about a thousand have been seriously injured to the point of losing their combat effectiveness. Almost all of the remaining ninjas are injured."
"Nearly 300 seriously injured people were sent back to the rear this morning, and there are still at least 800 to 1,000 seriously injured people."
At this point, Nara Shikama took a long breath and simply explained it clearly.
"We cannot consider pursuit now, Jiraiya-sama."
Hearing Nara Shikaku's words, Jiraiya's heart instantly cooled down.
As a frontline commander, Jiraiya naturally pays attention to battle damage information every day.
The three hundred wounded sent away this morning all came from the numbers accumulated in the past few days from the day the war started to today.
Today's battle actually caused three times the losses of the previous days!
Sunagakure came here with a decisive battle mentality.
The intensity of the battle can be imagined.
The number of Konoha Ninja Army is seriously insufficient, which is also an important objective reason.
Every Konoha ninja on the battlefield is fighting two enemies.
Jiraiya shook his head helplessly.
The fighter plane is right in front of us, but unfortunately we are powerless and can only watch it slip away in vain.
This battle that lasted for several days seemed to bring nothing except adding a thousand dead bones and more than a thousand seriously wounded to Konoha.
Although the territory was defended and the war was left in Kawa no Kuni, it did not have a fundamental impact on Sunagakure.
This time Sunagakure retreated, but the Kawa no Kuni camp would only continue to increase its troops.
Because Sunagakure will definitely come back later.
Seeing the cruel scene of corpses strewn on the battlefield, Jiraiya closed his eyes in pain.
What is the meaning of war?
When will peace in the ninja world come?
On the other side, Sunagakure temporary camp.
After settling Ye Cang in person, Rasha found Yashamaru.
After the Third Kazekage handed over command to Rasa, Rasa transferred Yashamaru to the staff office.
After all, he is his brother-in-law. Luo Sha does not want him to exist simply as a medical ninja, but wants to train him to be his right-hand man.
All this was also with the tacit approval of the Third Kazekage.
The Third Kazekage truly cultivated Luo Sha, his disciple, as his successor.
When Yashamaru saw Rasa, he consciously reported the losses suffered in the battle with Sunagakure.
Listening to Yashamaru's report, Luo Sha's face became increasingly ugly.
According to rough statistics, there are currently less than 6,000 ninjas that Sunagakure can fight, and most of them are injured.
Since the beginning of the war, Sunagakure has suffered more than 2,000 casualties.
This is unacceptable to Luo Sha.
After all, the number of Suna Ninja was multiple times that of Konoha.
However, it was a bit surprising to think that most of the casualties came from today's battle.
Today's battle was full of twists and turns, and it also gave Rasa a new understanding of the strength of Konoha ninjas.
As a shadow-level powerhouse, Luo Sha had also seen records of immortal mode in the village's documents.
Unfortunately, the solution has never been found.
According to literature, the Immortal model comes from the psychic world, and there are three methods of practice in the three major psychic holy places.
The inheritance of psychic contracts in the three major psychic holy places are all monopolized by Konoha.
Today, Jiraiya's sage mode was an eye-opener for Luo Sha.
It was precisely because of Jiraiya that Sunagakure suffered such heavy casualties despite being numerically superior.
Ugh!
Luo Sha shook his head helplessly and sighed.
The Country of Wind is barren. Although its land area is large, its population base is much smaller than that of Konoha.
The population base is small, the income is also small, and there are fewer outstanding ninjas selected.
Sunagakure has been working hard to maintain the scale of ninja he is today.
With the current combat power, Sunagakure is no match for Konoha.
But if they fight for development, Sunagakure is no match for Konoha.
Luo Sha strongly agrees with the expansion plan of the Third Kazekage, just because if we don’t fight now, we won’t have to fight in the future!
However, facing the outcome of this war, Luo Sha was extremely confused.
After pondering for a long time, Luo Sha finally made a decision.
Withdraw your troops!
First of all, the news of the disappearance of the Third Kazekage must not be concealed.
Luo Sha was sure that there was already an undercurrent in the village.
Only by bringing the army back in time can Luo Sha suppress the chaotic situation.
Otherwise, there will definitely be bigger changes in the village.
What's more, with the current battlefield situation, even if the Konoha army in front of them is defeated, Sunagakure Village will not be able to occupy Kawa no Kuni for too long.
Konoha's endless blood-generating ability, countless ninjas will continue to rush to the front line, and finally bring down Sunagakure.
The eight thousand ninja troops brought out this time are already most of Sunagakure's elite.
In terms of consumption, Sunagakure cannot be Konoha's opponent.
Konoha is now facing the two battlefields of Sunagakure and Iwagakure, and still performs with ease, which shows its strong strength.
The Iwagakure battlefield has been going on for two years. It has always been border friction and petty quarrels.
Onoki, that old fox, might not have thought of sitting back and watching Sunagakure consume Konoha, and then pick up the slack.
Although, the Third Kazekage had the same idea before...
In short, it is not yet time for a full-scale decisive battle with Konoha.
Go back to the village first, settle down inside, and wait for the opportunity.
Thinking of this, Luo Sha stood up, gathered people, and started making arrangements.
Now that things have happened, Luo Sha is not afraid of being discovered by Konoha.
Konoha's losses would never be smaller than Sunagakure's. He left in such a swagger, and Konoha didn't dare to pursue him.
Doing so would also give the Sand Ninjas the impression that they had defeated Konoha and just needed to temporarily return to the village to stabilize the situation.
As orders were issued, the Sunagakure camp began to operate in an orderly manner.
into the night.
Jiraiya personally led several elite ninjas into the dark forest.
When he saw people heading to the empty Sunagakure temporary camp, Jiraiya sighed silently.
After a careful investigation by a white-eyed ninja in the team, the report confirmed that all the sand ninja had evacuated.
Jiraiya nodded and led the team to follow, always keeping a distance of about one kilometer from the Suna Ninja.
Jiraiya didn't stop until it was confirmed that all Suna ninja had evacuated from Kawa no Kuni.
