Chapter 35 Dramatic changes in Kirigakure

"While Konoha and Kirigakure were fighting, the Fourth Mizukage suddenly appeared on the battlefield and attacked. The two clan leaders, Uchiha and Hinata, led the rear and were seriously injured. They died after returning to camp."

"Other ninja clan leaders who followed the palace also suffered certain casualties."

"I feel deeply sorry and deplored for such a huge loss. It was my fault for not thinking carefully."

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a serious expression.

"What?"

"Father, he..."

Uchiha Fugaku and Hinata Hinashi's expressions changed drastically, and they couldn't help but exclaimed.

Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Gen, Hyuga Hizashi and other jonins from the two clans all had very heavy expressions on their faces.

Of course, Gen Uchiha actually had no feelings about the death of the old patriarch, but he still had to perform what was supposed to be performed.

The other jounin's faces were also full of solemn expressions.

The Fourth Mizukage actually participated in the battle himself, which meant that the elite Kirigakure Anbu and other elites must have also participated in the battle.

The situation on the frontline has changed drastically and is extremely dangerous!

"Hiruzhan, how can I blame you for this?"

"Everyone in the previous meeting agreed that Kirigakure would give up as soon as his family was the only one left, withdraw his troops and defend the country of Whirlpool."

"No one expected Kirigakure to be so tough and greedy..."

"This is a collective decision and you don't have to take the responsibility on yourself."

Xiaochun went to bed and sat on a stone chair, squinting slightly.

"The Yondaime Mizukage's personal action has shown us Kirigakure's determination. It seems that a tough battle is inevitable."

"Kirigakure must be beaten thoroughly to make Kirigakure retreat!"

Mito Menyan sat upright, pushed his eyes, and said with a serious expression.

"The top priority is to decide on the new commander and support force for the Kirigakure battlefield. Self-reflection will happen after the war is won."

Shimura Danzo leaned gently on the stone chair, the old god was speaking.

Danzo was in a pretty good mood at the moment.

I originally wanted to use the Kirigakure battlefield to weaken the power of the major ninja clans in Konoha, but unexpectedly I got an unexpected gain.

The Uchiha clan leader and the Hyuga clan leader, two strong men who surpassed the elite Jonin level and were close to the Kage level, died in the war. Other ninja clan leaders also suffered certain casualties. The goal was overachieved.

Listening to the singing of Konoha F4, Uchiha Gen lowered his head and curled his lips, asking others one after another what to say?

Group resolution?

Did you four make a collective decision?

Taking the blame collectively means no one takes the blame...

"Yes, Kirigakure must be beaten thoroughly to make him retreat and end the war!"

"So I decided that in addition to the necessary manpower to stay in Konoha, I will select the best of the best for this support!"

"The number of Jonin, Chunin, and Genin is twenty-five, one hundred and fifty, and five hundred respectively."

"In addition, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Minato are all going."

"With this kind of power and the remaining power on the front line, can we defeat Kirigakure?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes swept from left to right, landing on Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Minato in turn.

"Yes!" the four said without hesitation.

The jounin present were quite surprised when they heard this. Twenty-five jounin, this is not a small number.

Before the start of the Third Ninja War, there were only about a hundred and ten jounin in Konoha.

Since the war started, even if the requirements for jounin have been relaxed, the number of jounin in Konoha is only over sixty, and now nearly half of them can be mobilized at once.

Coupled with the four Kage-level combat powers, it seems that Kirigakure has pissed off the Hokage-sama.

There are only four shadow-level combatants. Who will be the commander?

All four are qualified to be commanders.

"Tsunade will be the commander, and Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Minato will be the deputy commanders to assist Tsunade."

Tsunade-sama?

This is indeed the best choice. The identity, position, and strength are all suitable, and the position is also suitable. It will not favor any side.

"yes."

The four people standing at the front had no objections and said in unison.

"Go down and get ready now. We'll set off in an hour."

"Yes!" everyone said in unison.

Ninja is a profession that pays great attention to efficiency. In the large conference room, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Minato selected the jounin who needed to go to the Kirigakure battlefield.

Then bring the roster that records the ninjas. The roster records the ninja's information in detail, including the ninja level, areas of expertise, number of missions completed, etc.

Within half an hour, 675 elites from various ninja classes were selected.

The rest of the time was used to go home and prepare for the expedition, and finally gathered at the gate of Konoha.

In fifty-five minutes, six hundred and seventy-five fully armed ninjas gathered at the gate of Konoha, and under the leadership of the three ninjas, they quickly rushed to the front line in the southeast of the Land of Fire.

As for the yellow flash, Namikaze Minato had already rushed to the front line with a speed that far surpassed everyone else's support.

Tsunade's mission to Namikaze Minato was to stabilize the front line and rub away Kirigakure's arrogance.

As a disciple of Orochimaru, a Jonin, and a ninja of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Gen was naturally among the ranks of the recruits.

In the same way, Team 7, which is directly under Namikaze Minato, is also on the recruitment list.

They were all elites and traveled very fast. They only rested once on the way and arrived at the front line at nine o'clock in the evening.

After a long-distance attack, the genin's combat effectiveness dropped dramatically, and the chunin and jounin also declined to varying degrees. Only the three ninja still maintained their best condition.

This situation is naturally not the best time to participate in the war, and there is no battle to participate in for the time being.

Namikaze Minato completed the task assigned by Tsunade very well, directly gave Kirigakure a blow and stabilized the front.

Tsunade, who changed her vision in advance and blocked her sense of smell, walked around the frontline camp with the supporting Konoha ninjas. The morale of the Konoha ninjas who had just lost the battle and was low in morale slowly increased.

The Sannin and Yellow Flash are here, and the Konoha ninjas can't think of how to lose...

The Kirigakure spies lurking in Konoha's frontline camp conveyed the news of the Sannin's arrival back to the Kirigakure camp by covert means.

Regarding the existence of Kirigakure spies, the four of them, Tsunade, knew very well that Konoha also had spies in the Kirigakure camp.

The purpose is to let the spies pass the news back, so as to change Kirigakure's war strategy, give the exhausted frontline ninjas more time to repair, and also give the new ninjas some time to adapt.

The Fourth Mizukage Yagura immediately summoned his subordinates for a meeting after receiving the news.

The powerful people in Kirigakure were all panicked when they heard the news.

The shadow of the famous tree, the deterrent power of the Sannin and the yellow flash are all accumulated bit by bit in the war, and there is no fraud.

Facing four Kage-level masters who were famous in the ninja world at once, the senior management of Kirigakure felt their scalps go numb.

The fourth generation Mizukage Yagura also felt that it was very difficult and did not dare to act rashly. His determination for the tailed beast's plan to attack the village became even deeper.

If you don't find another way, Kirigakure's chances of winning are extremely slim.

After discussion, Kirigakure's senior management quickly reached an agreement.

It is impossible to fight head-on. The main thing is to defend and delay time. Secretly execute the tailed beast's plan to attack the village. Wait until the plan is successful and then take advantage of the situation to counterattack!

That night, the arrangement of Kirigakure's frontline changed overnight, from offense to defense.

The Kirigakure ninjas who were suddenly working overtime felt confused.

Although they suffered some losses during the day, there was no need to be a coward, right?

The Kirigakure ninjas couldn't understand, but they could only carry out the orders and work all night long.

The top management of Kirigakure did not spread the news. Although it would be exposed sooner or later, it would be best if the high morale lasted longer.

Although the ninjas in the Blood Mist Village are indifferent, aggressive and murderous, and do not take their lives seriously, it does not mean that they are completely emotionless.

Kirigakure already had the name of Blood Mist before Obito controlled Yagura, and Obito just used a super double on this basis!

At the Konoha frontline camp, the supporting ninjas all went to eat and rest. Uchiha Gen and Uchiha Shisui had to pay homage to the dead clan leader before they could eat and rest.
