Chapter 042

Sunset Mountain

A clan leader-level battle ended not long after.

Shimura Nesuke was not a fool, although after learning that his clan was attacked by the Hagoromo clan, he became angry and killed them.

But he could still tell the difference between the safety of the clan and the temporary anger.

Therefore, under the intervention of Sarutobi Kaoto, Shimura Nesuke said harsh words and left.

At dusk, the camps of the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan were heavily guarded, with no intention of retreating. However, the two clan leaders, Sarutobi Kaoto and Shimura Nesuke, had already gathered together.

“I have already told Senju Borama that we will evacuate directly tonight without any further delay.”

Sarutobi Kato smoked his pipe and knitted his eyebrows together.

“Damn! Where did the Hagoromo Clan get the power to attack our clan!” Nesuke Shimura smashed the fourth table with an angry palm.

It’s not like they haven’t been on guard against the other machinations of the Hagoromo clan.

But according to what the Sensing Ninjas said and their daily observations, the Hagoromo Clan had no shortage of elite jounin on the battlefield, and the number of jounin, except for those who died, had basically not changed much.

Logically speaking, in terms of the clan’s defense, if you want to break through it, you must mobilize at least two elite jounin, four jounin, and a group of chuunin.

They can’t figure it out now, where did the Hagoromo clan draw such a force to sneak attack on their clan? Could it be that there are other ninja clans involved here?

“Didn’t you notice that Hagoromo Ryokawa’s son did not go to the battlefield today? Although that brat is only at the level of a jounin in terms of chakra, if you add his weird ninjutsu, he can deal with elite jounin. .

I guess there must be this brat among the people who sneak attack the tribe, so we have to rush back to the tribe tonight to support. If it’s too late, something unexpected might happen.” Sarutobi

Huodu He smoked his pipe, and soon the whole tent was filled with smoke.

In fact, there is one thing he hasn’t said yet, that is, the reason why the Hagoromo clan did this is to force them to withdraw their troops.

If they retreat now, there should be no further losses in the tribe.

But if they don’t retreat now, there’s no guarantee that Yuyi’s side won’t be cruel again and massacre ordinary people in the clan.

Therefore, for the future of the Sarutobi clan, he must retreat now.

At the same moment, in the Senju camp, Senju Bojian looked at the map in front of him worriedly.

According to his plan, in about a month, they can attack the Hagoromo clan and completely wipe out this first-class ninja clan in the northwest of the Fire Country.

But who would have thought that the Yuyi clan would suddenly do something like this.

He secretly attacked Sarutobi Shimura’s tribe, and he didn’t know where Hagoromo got the strength to do it.

“Forget it, let’s tell the clan leader about the situation here first, and then arrange a retreat.”

Senju Bojian shook his head helplessly and began to take out the paper and write a letter.

Not only did the attack on the Yuyi clan fail to destroy them this time, but they also failed to get the Xishan Iron Mine that they were determined to win at the beginning. It was a real loss to my grandma’s family.

…

The Hagoromo clan.

Three powerful clan leaders, Yuyi Longchuan, Yuyi Longhe, and Yuyi Zhengfang, gathered together.

Sitting on the left and right below were Hagoromo Ishihara, Hagoromo Toro and other six top elite jounin.

In fact, there were originally ten elite jonin in the Hagoromo clan with this kind of combat power.

It’s a pity that after a protracted war, the Hagoromo clan lost nearly half of this elite jounin, which can be said to be directly damaged.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Yuromo clan will not be able to recover from such a huge loss in less than ten or twenty years, and if they want to return to their peak, it will take at least thirty or forty years.

However, the war is not over yet, so it is not the time to consider these issues.

“Everyone, the camps of the two clans of Sarutobi Shimura are now heavily guarded. What do you think?” Hagoromo Nagakawa looked around and then asked.

The second elder Yuyi Longhe was the first to speak: “Chief, in my opinion, they are just bluffing. The clan is facing a crisis, and any ninja clan will rush to the clan to support them as soon as possible.

Now these two clans are heavily guarded. , It’s just an illusion they put out. If I guess correctly, they will withdraw their troops soon.” The

other ninjas around nodded in agreement: “What the second elder said is absolutely true!”

“No. Yes, these two hyenas should be withdrawing with their tails between their legs soon.”

Seeing everyone saying this, Hagoromo Ryokawa nodded: “Yes, I think so too, so in the face of their retreat, we should What to do?”

“Of course to ambush them!” The second elder waved his fist without hesitation.

This temper is quite in line with his explosive escape blood inheritance limit.

After hearing the second elder’s suggestion, the others unanimously agreed with the second elder’s idea.

The patriarch, Hagoromo Ryokawa, also had this idea in mind, so he looked at the crowd and said, “Since everyone agrees, let’s do it.”

“Second elder and third elder, you bring three top elites up. Shinobi, take ten other ordinary elite jounin and twenty jonin to Sunset Mountain for an ambush. I will stay at the camp to prevent accidents.” When it comes to ambush,

more people will make it easier to be exposed, so Sending out such an elite force is enough.

Listening to the clan leader’s arrangement, the other ninjas in the Chinese army’s tent looked serious and nodded to obey the arrangement.

Afterwards, everyone walked out of the tent one by one and began to carry out their tasks.

The Sunset Mountains are two mountains to the west of the Yuyi Clan’s land.

The shape of the mountain is relatively regular, like a horizontal Japanese character. There is a straight official road between the two mountains, which just forms the horizontal line in the middle of the Japanese character.

And because when the sun sets, it just disappears from the official road between the two mountains, so people habitually call the two mountains next to each other collectively the Sunset Mountains.

At this time, the second elder had already returned to the clan with his people.

After all, the camps of both sides are being closely watched. It would definitely be unrealistic to leave from the east to ambush.

And the Hagoromo clan didn’t want to give up this opportunity to take revenge on the Sarutobi Shimura clan, so the second elder, Hagoromo Ryokawa, took everyone back to the clan directly, planning to go to Sunset Mountain through the secret passage in the ancestral hall.

Anyway, when Hagoromo Qianhan led people to sneak attack on the two clans’ lands, this secret passage was already known to more than just the clan leaders and elders, so what does it matter if they use it more now.

After crossing the stone bridge under the abyss and passing through the long secret passage again, the second elder and other thirty-five people came out of the secret passage. This was Sunset Mountain.
