Chapter 473 Nagato Evacuates
"Yahiko and the others are in trouble."
"What's your plan?"
In the Land of Earth, Nono and Nagato were the only two people in a mud house at the Akatsuki ninja camp.
"Go back, of course."
Nagato looked Nono in the eyes and answered simply.
"Then we're just going to ignore this?"
Nono knew that once his side withdrew, the Iwagakure ninjas here would be able to come back to support Ohnoki.
In that case, the pressure on the Cloud Ninjas would definitely increase greatly.
The Third Raikage would definitely withdraw from the Land of Earth immediately after learning about his own retreat.
By then, a land of earth that has regained stability is not the result they want to see.
“I didn’t say I didn’t care.”
"Our withdrawal does not mean that the Iwagakure ninja here can quickly come back to support us."
The corners of Nagato's mouth rose slightly, and he reached out to smooth Nono's frown.
"Then what do you mean?"
Nono still didn't quite understand what Nagato was planning, and his brows, which had been smoothed down, became frowned again.
"It's very simple."
"Although it's difficult for us to eliminate the Iwagakure ninja here, it's still easy to seriously injure their main force."
"When we withdraw, the Iwagakure ninja here won't be able to go back to support Ohnoki for a while."
Nagato explained his thoughts clearly and did not reach out to do useless work.
Even if Nono frowned, she was still cute in his eyes.
"That's it!"
"It's a good idea."
Nono nodded, approving of Nagato's plan.
But then he seemed to have thought of something.
"This can indeed delay their return."
"But it's a foregone conclusion that the Kumo Ninja won't be able to defeat Ōnoki."
"I think the Cloud Ninjas are reluctant to withdraw now, probably because they have invested too much."
"Once we withdraw, even if they know that no one will come to help them for the time being, they will most likely choose to go home directly."
"No matter what we do, the outcome will be the same."
After analyzing it, Nono felt that if he were in the Raikage's position, he would definitely choose to retreat.
Instead of waiting for others’ support, it is better to leave early.
Sometimes, making a choice happens in a split second.
The news of the Akatsuki ninja's retreat may very well be the last straw that breaks the camel's back for the Raikage.
"What you said makes sense."
“But there is a fundamental difference between the two.”
"If we do nothing and just leave, the urgency for the Kumo Ninja to evacuate will be very high."
"They can easily withdraw before Ōnoki can react."
"But if we seriously injure the Rock Ninja who can come back to help, the Cloud Ninja will not be so anxious."
"By the time Ōnoki reacts, will the Kumo Ninja still be able to escape?"
Nagato has a firm grasp on people's hearts and minds, and he plays the psychological warfare very well.
It only takes a little reaction time, and he believes that Oonoki will not watch the Cloud Ninja retreat.
Not to say 100%, but at least there is a 90% chance.
By then, Ohnoki would be able to delay the enemy until Lao Zi and Huang Tu came to help, even at the cost of human lives.
"Haha~ I'm afraid the Raikage will hate you to death."
"You dug such a big hole for them."
Nono realized that what Nagato described was very likely to happen.
Then he imagined the dilemma of the Cloud Ninja and laughed out loud.
"There's nothing we can do about it."
"The Kumo Ninja must have known about Yahiko and his men's defeat."
"It's reasonable for me to leave now. What can he do to me?"
"Besides, I was thinking about them before I left. I have done my best."
Nagato spread his hands, looking innocent.
If you don’t know, you might think he has suffered some injustice.
"You get a good deal and still act nice."
"By the way, you still need to tell Brother Minato."
Nono put away his smile and rolled his eyes at Nagato.
This guy is becoming more and more sinister!
"Well, I'll contact Minato-san later."
"I don't know if it's inconvenient for him."
In order to avoid being exposed, Nagato rarely contacted Minato on his own initiative.
"No rush, at worst we can just contact you in the middle of the night."
"We can't have anyone watching Minato-san sleeping."
After listening to Nono, Nagato nodded slightly.
After finishing their conversation about serious matters, the two of them still had a lot to talk about.
From daily life to medical ninjutsu, from reminiscing about the past to imagining the future.
I don’t know how the two of them can have so much to talk about when they are together every day.
At midnight, Nagato successfully contacted Minato.
Informing him that he was going to evacuate, Minato was not surprised.
After he learned the news that Akatsuki was defeated in the Land of Hot Springs, he knew that Nagato would definitely leave.
Finally, the two agreed to finish the last scene, which put a complete end to this farce.
With Minato as his accomplice, the location of the Iwagakure has never been a secret in Nagato's eyes.
He almost never came to Minato on his own initiative before, and he just wanted to cooperate with Minato in acting.
This time he chose to take the initiative. After all, time waits for no one, and Yahiko was still waiting for him.
The next morning, Nagato led the Akatsuki team to the hiding place of the Iwagakure.
The war then began.
This time, in the eyes of Lao Zi and Huang Tu, Nagato seemed to be full of energy.
The strength displayed is more than one or two points stronger than before.
Originally, with the cooperation of the two of them, Minato, who had activated the Sage Mode, could hold Nagato back steadily.
But now it is completely impossible.
The three of them were being suppressed by Nagato from the beginning of the fight.
After ten minutes, Minato was the first to fall.
As soon as the Sage Mode disappeared, he was hit accurately by Nagato's Shurado laser cannon.
His entire chest was charred black, and he fell to the ground with blood spitting out of his mouth, and his life or death was unknown.
Seeing this scene, Kakashi shouted "Senior Brother Minato" and walked forward, picked up Minato and ran away.
They looked so affectionate and loyal that no one could tell they were just acting.
"My feet are dragging on the ground."
Minato was lying on Kakashi's back and still had the mind to complain.
"Just bear with it."
Kakashi rolled his eyes helplessly, what else could he do now that he was only this tall?
When Kakashi quickly disappeared from the battlefield, Lao Zi and Huang Tu were in trouble.
The two men knew very well that they were no match for Nagato, and were stopped as soon as they thought of escaping.
Even though he was fighting desperately, it didn't mean much to Nagato.
Before long, the two were beaten to a pulp and covered in blood, lying on the ground breathing more than they breathed in.
"That's enough for you to lie down for a while."
Looking at Lao Zi and Huang Tu who had fallen into a coma, Nagato nodded with satisfaction.
Having achieved his set goal, he did not plan to stay in the Land of Earth for long.
He casually killed a few unlucky Iwagakure ninjas, and Lao Zi and Huang Tu were rescued almost right under his nose, and Nagato pretended not to see anything.
Immediately afterwards, the Iwagakure and Konohagakure ninjas began to retreat on a large scale.
Nagato and Akatsuki pretended to chase after the enemy, and when the enemy completely disappeared from their sight, the battle was completely over.
Without giving the team time to rest, Nagato immediately gave the order to return to the Rain Country.
On the way back to the country, Nagato did not forget to send someone to deliver the message to the Raikage.
The content was also very simple, that is, he led his men to retreat.
However, he assured that the Rock Ninja here were temporarily unable to provide support, so the Raikage should not worry too much.
If the Cloud Ninja still wants to take over the Land of Earth, they should take advantage of this period of time to make an effort.
Nagato could imagine the Raikage's expression when he received this news.
It will definitely be exciting!!!
