Chapter 578 The most vigilant enemy
The first thing the Iwagakure ninjas who retreated under the cover of the Tailed Beast Tame reunited with were to pass the information back to Iwagakure Village.
Because of the good weather, Onoki was in a very good mood.
After learning that it was the battlefield of Grass Kingdom, I went to watch it with a smile.
Because every news coming from the battlefield of Grass Kingdom recently is basically a good news, Onoki who went smoothly was a little surprised.
Facing the yellow flash and Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, the Iwagakure troops led by Riishi actually defeated Jiraiya's troops without suffering any losses.
"The intelligence unit made a mistake and fell into Konoha's trap, and the unit suffered heavy losses?" Onoki's slightly raised mouth curved downward.
"Huh? How many people are left in the army?" Ohnoki couldn't believe it when he saw the number of words on the encrypted scroll.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes before opening them again, but the number of words on it still did not change, it was still three hundred and twenty-three, with not one more word in front.
Bang!
Onoki couldn't help but punch the office, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
That's a total of two thousand ninja troops. Two thousand ninjas, not two thousand samurai or ordinary people. After one defeat, they directly turned into three hundred and twenty-three?
Onoki was about to faint, and only about three hundred of the two thousand ninja troops were left.
Iwagakure struggled to develop for a long time, and finally accumulated a fortune of 12,000 ninjas. In the end, he was defeated in one battle, losing almost one-sixth.
His original idea was to use the advantage of the large number of people to win a small victory over Konoha and consume Konoha's ninja power. Then Konoha would send more people and then lose to Konoha in a small show. It was logical to continue to huddle up and observe the situation.
The number of deaths Ohnoki can accept is five hundred. After all, it has to be done with real swords and guns. It is unrealistic to not die.
But Ohnoki couldn't accept that he died almost a thousand and seven times in one breath.
These 1,700 ninjas, including jounin and the elite Iwagakure of the Iwagakure Demolition Team, how long will it take for Iwagakure Village to retrain so many ninjas.
Onoki read all the information carefully with a dark face.
If he were to sum it up, it would be that Iwaku led his troops into the abyss in a hurry for quick success.
The biggest responsibility must be shouldered by Iwakura. He is the acting commander and the one who issues orders.
Moreover, Yanku is already dead. No matter how big the responsibility is, Yanku will not object.
"Let them all come back." Ohnoki ordered.
Although three hundred ninjas were not too few, the two thousand ninja troops had been defeated. Letting the remaining three hundred people stay would be a sacrifice, so it was better to call them back directly.
After all, a dead person cannot handle such a big thing.
Immediately afterwards, Ohnoki quickly held a high-level meeting and informed all Iwagakure's top leaders of the latest information on the battlefield.
After reading the information, Hui's forehead was already covered with cold sweat.
When reinforcements were first sent, he analyzed the benefits of sending reinforcements one by one.
Now the frontline troops are suffering heavy losses, and he is responsible for it.
Because if he had not stood up to support the dispatch of additional reinforcements, even if all Iwagakure's Kusanagi troops were killed, the damage would not have reached the figure of 1,700.
"The casualties are actually close to 1,700. How many students must graduate from the ninja school to train so many qualified ninjas. I said at the beginning that maintaining the same is the safest choice!" Iwagakure elder Muhua looked at it. He glanced at Hui and Chongjing and said with a dissatisfied look on his face.
Mu Hua still clearly remembers how Hui and Chongjing retorted to him.
Now looking at Hui and Chongjing's guilty expressions, Mu Hua was angry on the surface, but secretly felt happy in his heart.
Hui subconsciously looked at Onoki, but Onoki didn't show any intention of speaking.
Hui showed a thoughtful expression, and then said: "Elder Mu Hua, that's not what you said. Although we have suffered heavy casualties this time, it does not mean that there is a problem with our plan.
In front of us, our troops once beat Konoha's troops into a panic. This has proved that our general direction is not wrong. "
"It's just that something happened to the person performing the mission. Iwaku is not as mature as Rishi, so he fell into Konoha's trap.
Without that radical move in Yanku, our plan would have been successful. "
In fact, the overall trend of Iwagakure's war this time was similar to what Iwagakure wanted. They both won first and then lost, but the loss was too tragic.
Since the losing and winning commanders were different, Fai cleverly attributed the win to their plan and threw the blame for the loss to the dead Iwaku.
"Furthermore, our important combat force Jinchūriki also has a problem. He actually transformed into a complete tailed beast at the center of the army regardless of the cost. In order to kill the Konoha ninja, he used the tailed beast jade on his fighting companions. This is simply deliberate killing!
I suggest that Lao Zi undergo a psychological evaluation. He may have been affected by the tailed beast chakra and become crazy. "
"If Lao Zi can use his power correctly to fight for Iwagakure, then even if the troops cannot defeat Konoha's troops, breaking through should not be a problem."
Hui backhanded another big black pot on Lao Zi's head. He didn't know if it was a good breakout at that time, but now is an important moment to share the pot, and the important thing is that it sounds reasonable.
"Yes, jinchuriki like Lao Zi are too dangerous and must be strictly guarded. If necessary, you can pull out the four tails and choose a new jinchuriki." Shigeaki nodded and said.
So many ninjas died, and all aspects had to be answered. Lao Zi happened to have such a big flaw, and he couldn't think of a reason not to give the blame to Lao Zi.
Chongjing and Huiyi analyzed and tried their best to share the blame for Iwagakure, a high-ranking member of the army who died.
In short, it is a core. There is no problem with their plan and direction. It is only the actual execution of the troops that has fallen short.
Mu Hua remained silent. Although he usually had different political opinions, the conflict was not serious enough to add insult to injury. A few words of ridicule would be enough.
"Let's stop here for now about the defeat of the troops. What we need to pay attention to is the strength shown by Konoha in this war." Onoki said.
Pot-sharing is a very important thing, but even more important is analyzing the opponent.
Defeating other great ninja villages and making Iwagakure the number one ninja village in the ninja world is the real big deal.
"Hanyu Mozuki, this person will definitely be Iwagakure's next biggest enemy." Onoki said with a serious face.
Onoki took out another stack of information and threw it in front of the senior Iwagakure officials.
Yan Yin's senior officials picked it up and looked through it one after another, and found that it was Mu Yue's personal information, which recorded all the information Yan Yin could investigate.
"The first time he was on the battlefield was two and a half years ago, and it was also the battlefield of the Kingdom of Grass. At that time, his strength was only slightly stronger than Kari, and he could only serve as an assistant in the battle with the Jinchūriki." Onoki said.
He pays close attention to Mu Yue and Namikaze Minato, and now knows Mu Yue's information by heart.
“But when he showed up at the Kirigakure battlefield on the east coast of the Land of Fire last year, his strength was far greater than before.
Kirigakure's famous ice escape ninja Suinazuki Han and Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen met his team. In the end, only two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen survived, including the majority of them, including Minazuki Han. Some ninjas were killed by Hanyu Mozuki. "
"And in the subsequent war, Kito Zangetsu, a strong member of the Kito clan, was also beheaded by Hanyu Mogetsu. Hanyu Mogetsu even teamed up with Orochimaru to kill a Jinchūriki who had a rampaging tail beast in his body during the war."
"This has only been a year."
While looking at Mu Yue's information and listening to Onoki's explanation, the senior officials of Iwagakure suddenly had the image of a super genius in their minds.
"Until this year, he was still getting stronger at an astonishing speed." Ohnoki continued in a deep voice.
"His Ice Release was only revealed during the battle with Kirigakure last year. Now he can freeze the Jinchuuriki. The most powerful Ice Release can kill more than a dozen jounin in an instant."
"Lao Zi, who has not fully transformed into a tailed beast, is almost powerless to fight back against his water escape."
As they got to know Mu Yue better, the top management of Iwagakure felt more and more outrageous.
It's not like they haven't seen strong young men before, Konoha's Namikaze Minato is one.
However, compared to Mugetsu, Namikaze Minato was undoubtedly much more normal. Before the killing spree on the battlefield, Namikaze Minato was already a well-known Jonin.
And every time Mu Yue appeared, her strength surged, as if she had just entered a period of rapid development, which was very scary.
"He rarely used Fire Release in the battles with our troops this year, but you need to know one thing. He earned the title of Fierce Sun on the Kirigakure battlefield. Fire Release was the ninjutsu he was best at before."
"I have no doubt that he can become a ninja who is as proficient in all attributes as the Third Hokage. If he reaches the level of the Third Hokage, he will be stronger than the Third Hokage because he also masters ice escape and the flying thunder god technique."
Ohnoki described Mu Yue like this, and the top management of Iwagakure suddenly started to sweat.
The Third Hokage is already extremely strong. No ninja in the ninja world dares to say that he can definitely defeat the Third Hokage.
If Mu Yue can become the enhanced version of the Third Hokage, then Mu Yue will most likely become recognized as the number one in the ninja world.
Looking at the expressions of the senior officials, Onoki nodded slightly in his mind.
If he said this and the senior management still couldn't realize the danger of Mugetsu and only regarded Mugetsu as a character similar to Namikaze Minato, then Iwagakure would really be doomed.
"If there is a chance to kill Hanyu Mozuki, even if it means sacrificing a 2,000-man ninja troop, it will be worth it!" Onoki said seriously.
If there is really an enhanced version of the Third Hokage, for today's ninja world, it is no less than the resurrection of Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara.
The senior executives of Iwakaku nodded in agreement.
Two thousand troops can be spent time cultivating, and a genius with such a high upper limit as Mu Yue may not be born even in a hundred years.
Not to mention the 2,000-person ninja army, they even felt that even a 3,000-person ninja army would not be a loss in exchange for Mu Yue's life.
On this day, Mu Yue topped the Iwagakure kill list.
