Chapter 331 Mei Terumi's Ambition

Attack and defend the temporarily abandoned stronghold.

The Konoha side was unable to resist and could only give up the plan that their Ninja Village had set at the beginning and was forced to retreat.

The reason why Menma did not continue to lead the troops forward to expand the victory was due to the reasons mentioned before, and also because Menma still needed to send people to support Yugao on the left wing of the defense line, and Yugao was the only one there. He led less than a few hundred Taki-nin to block the attack, although according to the established plan, Shibuki would lead three to four hundred people to support him.

It's just a thousand troops to hold on to death.

Terumi Mei's strength and the foundation of Kirigakure Village still need to be paid attention to. Yu Gao and Shibaki can hold on for a while, but if time drags on for a long time, they will inevitably fall into a huge disadvantage.

Every minute, every second is the death of Taki Ninja.

Winning is an inevitable requirement.

On this basis.

Menma also had to try his best to ensure that Takigakure did not suffer too many casualties. There was no way that Takigakure Village could be compared with the five major ninja villages. Even if all the young ones who had just graduated were included, the number of active ninjas in Takigakure Village was only 10%. No more than five thousand.

In the previous battle with Yunyin Village, a high price of casualties had been paid.

If the price paid for this battle is even heavier.

Will it be detrimental to Menma's subsequent rule over the entire shinobi village, and win a war, but every family wears hemp and shows filial piety?

Just think about that scenario.

Menma himself shuddered.

The people's desires have always been simple and direct, and Menma himself has a relatively thorough understanding of this aspect.

He is not the kind of person who can just make use of Takigakure Village. Even though it seems a bit unrealistic, even at this stage, he is a bit overestimating his capabilities (at least he has gained as much as a thousand people). Before Tehashirama's strength).

But Menma still has a complete plan of his own after all.

Survival is the most basic goal.

Then on this basis, we will achieve our goals one after another.

For this reason, Takigakure Village is a must.

The same is true for Kusakuin Village.

Even if he looked at it with the most utilitarian mind, Menma was not willing to let the Taki-nin and Kusanagi-nin pay any unnecessary casualties.

The pursuit stopped just in time.

Then after leading everyone back to the stronghold.

"The rest of this place will be left to you. I'll go support Yu Gao!"

Menma gave simple instructions, asking Muzan and Futo to stay in the stronghold to guard against possible attacks on Konoha Hidden Village.

"Yes, Menma-sama (well, don't worry, Menma-kun.)"

Menma also doesn't take any Taki-nin with him.

"Whoosh!"

Directly use the Flying Thunder God Technique to go single-handedly to support Yu Gao, who is hundreds of kilometers away on the left wing of the stronghold.

Leading the troops takes too long.

Anyway, it’s enough for just one person!

As long as he presses forward to hold back or even defeat Mei Terumi, even if Yugao is a little reluctant, as long as he cooperates with Shibaki and the remaining Taki ninja, he can definitely sweep away the army of mist ninjas.

A figure running at high speed.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh"

Constantly shuttle and jump in space.

That is in an extremely short period of time.

Menma arrived at the very edge of the mountain on this side.

The location that Takigakure Village originally chose to establish its stronghold is the most dangerous area in the southeastern region of Takino Country. Any strong attack from the enemy country's Ninja Village from the east or slightly south, the actions of the large forces will either To invade from here, you either have to go directly from the northernmost or southernmost detours.

In this battle.

Menma really led the Taki-nins out in full force. In addition to the few three to four hundred Taki-nin stationed in the Ninja Village and some necessary information communication and garrison strongholds, as well as the removal of the wounded from the previous battle, The remaining nearly four thousand Taki nin followed suit.

The Taki-nin assigned to the two wing positions each have six or seven hundred.

Then match it with Yugao or Fu.

Such a combat power configuration.

Even if it is against the main force of any great ninja village, it can still last for a while.

This period of time is enough for Menma to redeploy his troops.

And before Menma's support arrived.

Shibuki was already one step ahead, bringing the support of three to four hundred Taki-nin troops, and the Taki-nin and Kiri-nin entered the fierce battle.

Judging from the scene, the Mist Ninja did still have a certain advantage.

But as long as Yugao and Shibuki can stand strong at the front.

The war situation here is absolutely impossible to collapse in a short time.

Terumi Mei herself knew this very well.

"Hugao-san, I am very aware of your past grievances, and Mr. Yuanshi has also seen them. I can tell you responsibly that those are all misunderstandings and problems caused by the improper operations of the previous Mizukage-sama. "The Kirigakure Village now is no longer what it was in the past. There is no need for you to worry about the problems of the past. Believe me, when you come back now, everything can start again!"

Terumi Mei avoided Yugao's foam attack, and looked at Yugao with a very serious expression on her bright face.

To subdue them by force is the last resort.

From Mei Terumi's perspective, Yugao was once a member of their Kirigakure. The reason he defected was entirely because the fourth-generation Mizukage was controlled, which led to some accidents later, causing Yugao to misunderstand that the village was trying to kill him. Such a misunderstanding can be completely resolved.

Judging from the previous battle and the current confrontation.

Yugao can already use the power of the six-tailed beast more perfectly.

Such a high-end combat force is exactly what their Kirigakure is currently in short supply. It is definitely more reasonable and cost-effective to persuade Yugao to return to the Kirigakure than to subdue Yugao and forcibly extract the six-tailed beast.

The former can directly increase the combat power of the village by a five-shadow level.

For the latter, you still have to choose a suitable Jinchūriki to seal the tailed beast, and give him time to adapt, and there is also the risk that you may not really reach a consensus with the tailed beast and then perfectly use the tailed beast's chakra.

Without saying too much, the previous generation of the eight-tailed Jinchūriki of the Hidden Cloud Village is the best proof.

It is not easy to find a suitable candidate for the tailed beast container.

Physical fitness, mental will, as well as capacity and personality, will become key factors, so unless necessary, no ninja village is willing to change the Jinchūriki casually. Terumi Mei is determined to become the Mizukage and lead the Hidden Mist Village to the road of revival.

Naturally, she wants to strengthen the strength of her own ninja village in various ways.

Persuading Yu Gao to return to the Hidden Mist Village is the first step.

This is beneficial to the village and also a step that is more beneficial to her.

"Your Excellency Terumi Mei does not need to worry too much. Now it has nothing to do with the past. I choose to stay here for other reasons."

Yu Gao looked at Terumi Mei calmly and said in a light tone.
