Chapter 494 The news spreads widely

"We still have to..."

Hearing Wuwei and Yugao's similar opinions.

Shuiyue could only hold back her opinions. If she was unhappy, she would be unhappy. Anyway, it would only last for a while. Shuiyue comforted herself in her heart, and just when Wuwei was about to continue to talk about the next tactical arrangements.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Outside the meeting room.

Suddenly, there was a slightly hurried knock on the door.

Wuwei's heart tightened immediately.

"Come in!"

The words shouted immediately, and his face became a little solemn. At this moment, Wuwei's mind was full of whether there was any moth in the Sand Village again, whether there was any special enemy coming.

Shuiyue and Yugao also sat up.

Although it has become very weak.

But the Sand Village was once one of the five major countries after all, and the foundation of the big ninja village cannot be ignored. Just like now, it is obviously just a Sand Village, but it can still recruit tens of thousands of ninja troops.

I wonder if there will be other trump cards.

It is indeed hard to say.

"Master Wuwei, the urgent information in the village, this is personally conveyed by Master Tianying, we have won a great victory over the three-village coalition, and all the ninjas from Konohagakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure who invaded our territory have been annihilated and captured by us!"

The news is indeed very shocking, but it is also a surprise.

Looking at the light ninja who came in, while handing over a scroll, he also reported with an uncontrollable surprise and excitement.

Wuwei, Shuiyue, and Yugao all entered a very short moment of daze, which may not even last for a second.

Then they showed a touch of joy at the same time.

"Quick, show it to me!"

Wuwei quickly stood up and took the scroll from the hand of the light ninja below. Shuiyue and Yugao also approached at the same time.

The three of them read ten lines at a glance, and soon they finished reading all the information recorded on the scroll. The brilliant results described in the bright description made the smiles on the faces of the three people more and more intense.

They have always believed that their own ninja village will definitely win the final victory. No one can stop their Tianying Lord. However, they were able to defeat the main forces of the three major ninja villages so quickly, kill many middle and high-level figures of the three major ninja villages including the Fourth Raikage and Shimura Danzo, and capture most of the remaining Kumo Ninja, Iwa Ninja, and Konoha Ninja. This is indeed beyond the expectations of the three.

Of course, this is also because the three major ninja villages are too cooperative.

If they really enter in batches and choose different harassment tactics, Menma will have a headache, because the Hidden Light Village has a serious shortage of troops and it is impossible to divide the troops to fight. It is only in the interests of the Hidden Light Village to concentrate troops for a large-scale decisive battle.

Only in this way can Menma achieve the goal of winning in the shortest time with the least casualties.

This minimum casualty cost.

It refers to both the Hidden Light Ninja and the ninjas of the other several ninja villages.

Therefore, the successful defeat of the three major ninja villages within one day is really a result of the cooperation of the three major ninja villages.

"Then it seems that we can take the initiative to attack, right? We must not let the Sand Ninjas run away."

Suiyue, who was standing on the side, said eagerly with a slightly ferocious look on his face.

In the past few days.

He was really disgusted.

Now Shuiyue just wants to let go.

"Well, it is indeed necessary to take the initiative. It may take some time for Lord Menma to deal with it. We really can't let the Sand Village escape here!"

Wuwei also nodded and said.

They can receive the news.

Then the Sand Village should be about the same. This is not a small-scale invasion war, but a real collision between large-scale ninja armies.

Such an exaggerated battle.

The news is absolutely impossible to conceal. Not only the Sand Village, but also other small country ninja villages will definitely send corresponding scouts to ambush in nearby locations.

Knowing the results of the war between the big country ninja villages at any time.

It is the way for the small country ninja villages to survive.

Being a fence-sitter is not the right choice, but these small country ninja villages can only be fence-sitters, leaning to the side with the stronger wind.

This is the most simple choice of the survival of the fittest in the biological world.

Which ninja village has an advantage in the war, or can even directly push the other side, the fence-sitters must follow up.

The former Kusagakure Village, Takigakure Village, Yugakure Village, and even the Raingakure Village during the period when Hanzo the Salamander existed, which are adjacent to the corners of several major countries, are similar.

The status of the five major countries was unshakable in the past.

The same is true for this war now.

The small country ninja villages must see clearly which side is the stronger side.

For the Sand Village, this is even more so. They are "allies" in joint operations, and the basic strategy of the Sand Village must also be changed to varying degrees according to the results of the frontal battle of the three major ninja villages.

To put it bluntly, risks cannot be taken too much, and benefits must not be taken less.

Therefore, the attention paid to the front battlefield is not less at all.

In fact.

Wuwei and others still underestimated the intelligence system of the big ninja village. It was only half a beat late, almost at the moment when Wuwei had just conveyed the order to assemble and prepare for battle to the light ninjas in the fortress.

In the slightly farther Sand Village camp.

Maki received the information from his own Anbu members who had gone through great pains to quickly transmit it back in the shortest time.

It was not as detailed as the information received by Wuwei and others.

But it also recorded the defeat of the main forces of the three major ninja villages, and almost most of the ninjas were either killed or captured.

It can be said that when Maki saw the information, his eyes widened instantly, and the whole person shook uncontrollably.

That was a full 30,000 ninja coalition.

And the backbone of the three major ninja villages, how could it be such a miserable result! ?

Maki had not anticipated the defeat of the three major ninja villages.

Don't even think that Uzumaki Menma can really reach the level of the first Hokage. Even if the information in the rumors is 60% to 70% true, it will be difficult for the four major ninja villages to win this war.

The so-called saying that the strength of an individual is insignificant in front of the big ninja villages must be based on the foundation that it does not exceed the limit of human beings.

For example, as strong as the Third Raikage and the Second Hokage, they still belong to the category of "human beings". No matter how strong they are, they still have limits.

Even the tailed beasts that are praised as "natural disasters".

The five major ninja villages all have corresponding ways to deal with them.

But at the level of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, it is meaningless to pile up more people.

The infinite worst situation that Maki expected at the beginning was nothing more than Menma's strength was about to reach the level of Senju Hashirama and others.

Their several major ninja villages are destined to lose.

But they also have to use numbers and time to exchange for casualties of light ninjas. As long as they cripple the light village, what does it matter if Menma wins! ?

Even if they paid 10,000 or 20,000 casualties.

As long as they could kill 3,000 or 4,000 people from the Hikari Village, and make the Hikari Village half-crippled, or even suffer a higher level of casualties, the price they paid would be worth it.

This was something that the major ninja villages did not say at the beginning, but everyone knew it.

But now, everything is different from what was expected.

The three major ninja villages were completely defeated in less than a day, and they were almost completely destroyed.

Although the spies of the Hikari Village did not investigate the most detailed intelligence.

But their investigators could receive the news, and there was no reason why the three major ninja villages would not send the news.

Not sending the news is the worst news.

"Asshole!"

Maki bit his lower lip tightly, and with a hint of anger, he hammered the table in front of him.

The main force of the coalition with a full 30,000 troops was defeated, and their Hikari Village would definitely be unable to support it alone.

Once Uzumaki Menma led the main force of the Hikari Village.

No.

Even if they sent one or two more Jinchūriki, or directly let the black monster bred in the Paradise Box that defeated the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails to join the battle, the Sand Village would be skinned alive.

It was still the ultimate tragic kind.

"Retreat, we must retreat immediately."

Maki took a deep breath, and a look of determination flashed in his pupils. Continuing to waste time would do more harm than good for the Sand Village.

Once they had to leave here as soon as possible before the support from the Hidden Light Village arrived, although they still couldn't ensure their future safety, they could at least get through this hurdle first.

Maki was never a hesitant person.

After making up his mind, Maki immediately passed on his orders. The Sand Ninjas were too scattered, and this was also to better avoid the threats of Suigetsu, Yugao and others, and further threaten and harass the hinterland of the Grass Country.

Originally, Maki planned to use one or two months to slowly reduce the action space of the Hidden Light Ninjas.

As long as the number of casualties of the Hidden Light Ninjas increased.

The threats from Shuiyue, Wuwei, and Yugao will also be reduced.

Later, we will go deep into the hinterland of the Grass Country and threaten the western jurisdiction of the Hidden Light Village. It may cost three to four thousand or even more casualties, but as long as this goal is achieved, everything will be worth it.

Unfortunately, the plan was forced to stop after only two or three days.

It is also because of this arrangement.

Let tens of thousands of Sand Ninjas be distributed throughout the Grass Country.

The scale of the largest action force will not exceed three or four hundred people, and most of them are only dozens or nearly a hundred action forces. At this moment, the Sand Ninjas stationed in this large camp with Maki are already the largest in number.

There are only a thousand of them.

It will take half a day to pass on Maki's order completely.

"Lord Kazekage, why do we have to retreat!? Our tactics should be effective. The opposite Hidden Light Ninjas are completely led by us. If we retreat now, won't all our efforts be wasted?"

Maki's order has just been issued.

Above the camp. Yura, who is also one of the senior members of Sand Village and responsible for the defense of the village, came to the tent where Maki was and asked with a puzzled look.

"Hey, you can see for yourself, Yura."

As a contemporary of himself.

Now that he is his right-hand man, the Jonin of Sunagakure Village, who is also very powerful, Maki's attitude towards Yura is quite polite and respectful.

"Um?"

Looking at the scroll handed over by Ma Ji, Yura was slightly stunned. He subconsciously took it and unfolded it. When he saw the first line of content inside, Yura's eyes narrowed and he quickly browsed it.

Yura's expression became more and more solemn and shocked.

to the end.

Yura was immediately silenced.

The winner will be decided in one day! ? It's still the result of the victory of Guangyin Village. Isn't this a joke? ?

"Master Kazekage, this? Me? Could it be?"

In an instant.

Yura didn't even know what to say.

There are more than 30,000 ninja coalition troops.

More than ten years ago, the Third Raikage died directly under the siege of 10,000 Iwa ninjas. Even if Uzumaki Menma was stronger than the Third Raikage, there were indeed so many tailed beasts, but this number It’s more than thirty thousand, not three thousand, let alone three hundred!

Yura's mood at this moment cannot be described in ordinary words.

How could such a terrible thing happen! ?

"So, do you understand? Yura, we must retreat, otherwise, what awaits us in Sunagakure Village will be an extremely terrifying purgatory."

Marky said with a slight sigh.

Regardless of whether Uzumaki Menma has really reached the level of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara in the past, since they can forcibly defeat the main forces of the three great ninja villages, they can also easily take down their Sunagakure Village. will make any difference.

They are all existences that they cannot defeat.

Why should you care about how strong someone is?

It was also at this moment that Yura truly felt Ma Ji's helplessness.

This war was originally forced to be launched, and the pressure of public opinion in the village was great from the beginning. Ordinary sand ninjas could not see the so-called prospects and the so-called future risks. They only saw the immediate threats and benefits.

From the beginning to the end, Menma and the Kogakure under his command have never actively invaded Sunagakure Village, and have not harmed the interests of Sunagakure Village.

But this is the second time Sunagakure Village has launched an attack on Guangyin Village.

This time, they came out in full force, and only Suna ninjas can understand it.

In other words, Ma Ji still has a certain prestige in the village, and with the endorsement of Chiyo and Ebizo, he can barely integrate a large force to attack.

If everything goes smoothly, that's fine.

But now?

It's just an anticlimax, and you have to bear the risk of being angered by Guangyin Village. It's really a waste of money.

What's worse is to involve yourself completely.

"Yes, I understand, Lord Kazekage. I will speed up the notification to all the troops and withdraw them to the country immediately."

Yura nodded heavily and said.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Yura. Also, remember to contact Konoha as soon as possible. What happens next depends on the situation on Konoha's side."

Marky nodded and said with a solemn expression.

"Don't worry, I'll make arrangements right away."
