Chapter 155 News about Kannabi Bridge
Orochimaru felt strange about what was happening before his eyes.
He secretly conducted experiments on the battlefield, which remained a secret.
Even Danzo didn't know much about this, let alone Kumogakure.
In addition to the communication snake that was left in Konoha, there was another one left secretly.
But both of these communication snakes died mysteriously.
Even his master didn't notice it.
Orochimaru was very puzzled by this mysterious method.
The Third Raikage snorted coldly without explaining.
He got the information from the desk in the Raikage Building.
He had no idea how the intelligence was delivered or who delivered it.
The Third Raikage took a deep look, grabbed Killer Bee's Haneda, and retreated with Ai in his arms.
The Lightning Release Chakra Mode rushed through Konoha's encirclement as if it were nothing.
It was so fast that even Sakumo and Orochimaru couldn't stop it for a while.
Within a minute, the Third Raikage completely broke out of the encirclement and shouted to the Hidden Cloud Army in front:
"Let those scumbags from Konoha see how united and powerful Kumogakure is!"
…………
In the second half of the 48th year of Konoha, the war between Konoha and Kumogakure broke out completely in the Hochi Mountains.
The Third Raikage tried to lead Kumogakure to rescue the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee, but failed due to the obstruction of the Konoha Army led by Orochimaru and Sakumo.
This battle was called the Battle of Hodge's Hill.
After this battle, Konoha and Kumogakure clashed many times in the Hochi Mountains.
The battlefield in the Frost Kingdom became tense.
Fortunately, Uchiha Haneda recaptured the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee, and he always had the advantage in this war.
In the ninja world, almost all forces know that the next large-scale war between Konoha and Kumogakure will determine the direction of the war.
If Konoha wins, the battlefield in Frost Country will come to an end; if Kumogakure wins, the war will continue.
The end of the year is approaching.
Haneda stood on a peak in the Hodge Mountains and looked into the distance.
Sakumo came over with Asuma and Kurenai.
Shuomao asked with concern:
"Still thinking about the Battle of Hodge Mountain, Haneda?"
"You have worked hard enough to capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."
Sakumo said, covering Haneda with his cloak and smiled:
"It's too cold here. You'll catch a cold."
Speaking of cold, Asuma shuddered and agreed:
"Yes, Brother Haneda, you must take care of your health!"
Haneda glanced back at Sakumo and Asuma and nodded slightly.
If Ai had been captured in the last war, the war between Kumogakure and Konoha would have ended quickly.
It is important both to myself and to Konoha.
But the person he captured was Killer Bee, and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki could not make the Third Raikage decide to cease fire.
Now, the war between Konoha and Kumogakure is about to break out again, and Haneda has a premonition that a conspiracy will quietly approach.
The war between Konoha and Iwagakure is almost over.
At this point in time, Madara will definitely do something.
"Let's go back first. I came here just to appreciate and recall my achievements."
"The famous and perfect Jinchuriki Killer Bee was defeated by my sword, Uchiha Haneda."
Haneda said with a smile.
But there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Seeing this, Sakumo patted Haneda's shoulder and followed Haneda silently.
Asuma, who spoke the loudest and most, excitedly boasted about Haneda all the way.
After returning to Konoha's base in the Frost Country, Haneda and Sakumo were urgently summoned by Orochimaru to hold a meeting in the conference room.
At this time, many senior ninjas were already seated in the conference room, waiting for Haneda and Sakumo.
Orochimaru watched Haneda and Sakumo approaching, and said straight to the point:
"According to intelligence from Root spies, Kumogakure is planning to send a large force to attack the headquarters tomorrow."
Orochimaru took a pen and drew a circle on the map on his back, saying:
"Haneda-kun, this is the advance route of the assault team that Ai is in."
"I want you to lead the team to intercept them and prevent them from raiding Konoha's rear hospital."
"This mission is very important. It involves the defense of the rear. Yunyin may also go around the rear of the battlefield to launch a surprise attack."
"Okay, Orochimaru-senpai," Haneda replied absentmindedly.
He was still thinking about the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.
Orochimaru glanced at Haneda, his mouth slightly open, but remembering the relationship between Gai and Haneda, his gaze turned to Sakumo:
"Sakumo, I want you to lead your team around the battlefield and raid the Kumogakure headquarters, forcing them to return to defend."
"Okay." Shuomao nodded decisively.
He saw Orochimaru's tactics clearly.
If the surprise attack is fast enough, it will definitely disrupt the morale of the Yunyin army.
Orochimaru might drag on the front battlefield, resisting the offensive of Kumogakure desperately, waiting for news from him.
In the conference room, Orochimaru spent a long time planning tactics, which were detailed enough to deal with all the attacks from Kumogakure.
At the end of the meeting, an orange cat quietly walked in and jumped on Haneda's shoulder.
That’s right, Xiaoju.
It whispered:
"There's news on Kannabibashi, Haneda."
!!!
Haneda suppressed the complicated thoughts in his heart and asked:
"When?"
"Tomorrow morning, Jiraiya will arrange for Minato to take your very good friends Obito, Kakashi and others to the Kannobi Bridge to cut off the supply to Iwagakure."
When hearing the news, Haneda's first thought was:
The time actually overlapped, how could it be such a coincidence? !
Is it...
It was Madara and Black Zetsu who took action!!
Haneda tightly grasped the mission scroll in his hand.
His mission involved Ai's raiding party and was very important to Konoha.
If he gave up temporarily, according to Konoha's system, he would most likely become a traitor.
Haneda stood there for a long time, hesitated for a long time, and finally walked towards Sakumo.
"Can we go out and talk for a while, Uncle Sakumo?"
Seeing that Haneda looked troubled, Sakumo smiled and said, "Okay. I'd love to talk to you."
Came to a remote place outside the meeting room.
Haneda looked at the setting sun in the west and said:
"I used to be like some Uchiha, staying in Konoha like an outsider, and I couldn't say I had any feelings for Konoha."
“Until I met some friends and stayed there for a long time, and had some memorable and happy times.”
"There are people I am familiar with, friends, brothers, relatives, elders, people who care about me and love me."
"Gradually, I also regarded Konoha as my hometown."
Ha ha……
At this time, Haneda laughed at himself, and after a few seconds, he continued:
"Uncle Sakumo, if there is a person who is very important to you, and there is another important thing on the opposite side, such as the village, what will you choose?"
Sakumo didn't know why Haneda suddenly asked this question. In his memory, Haneda never spoke out his thoughts.
He would not bring his troubles to the people around him, but now...
I don’t know if Haneda got some news or something, but he changed.
Suddenly, Sakumo remembered a letter Kakashi wrote to him, and said solemnly:
"In the ninja world, those who don't follow the rules are trash, but those who don't cherish their companions are even worse than trash."
"Seven years ago, I also faced the choice between companions and missions. I gave up the mission and fell into self-blame and regret. Your words inspired me."
"At the time, Kakashi felt that the mission was more important, but because of you, he changed his mind."
"Companions are more important than missions."
Sakumo stood beside Haneda, put a hand on Haneda's shoulder and said:
"You hesitated."
"On the other side of the mission stands an important friend, and on the other side of the village stands another equally important friend, even more important than the former."
"But you also said that rules are meant to be broken."
"So you came to me, one of the commanders of the Frost Kingdom battlefield."
"Haneda, no matter what decision you make, Kakashi and I will believe in you."
"Go ahead, I'll talk to Orochimaru."
Sakumo knew how important the upcoming war in the Frost Country was to Konoha.
Once Haneda leaves the battlefield, who except himself and Orochimaru can deal with the assault force led by Ai?
Kai could only open six gates, and facing Ai in his prime, he could only block him for a moment at most.
Sakumo was afraid that Haneda would feel guilty, so he comforted him:
"Will the war be lost without a child?"
"This goes against the will of fire that the first generation has been passing down."
