Chapter 126 Follow-up battle
Chapter 126 The follow-up battle
“Your Majesty, this is the information coming from the front.”
“Hmm.” Hinata Yuuto nodded slightly and glanced at the contents of the scroll.
【Iwagakure attacked Kumogakure's troops, and the Third Raikage cut off the rear alone. 】
Hinata Yuuto was thoughtful and came to Namikaze Minato's house with this scroll:
“Senior Minato, there’s something you need to take a look at.”
In the house, Namikaze Minato was wrapped in bandages, and behind him, Uzumaki Kushina was giving him medicine distressedly.
The young man with blue eyes smiled bitterly:
“Yuuto, you can just take care of the normal things yourself during the two days I am recovering from my injuries.”
"No, this is a big deal and I can't make the decision myself."
Hinata Yuuto handed the scroll to Namikaze Minato, and while he was reading and thinking, he said to Kushina:
"Kushina-senpai, how is Minato-senpai's injury?"
“Not very optimistic.” The red-haired woman pouted:
“The fight with the Moon God consumed a lot of chakra, and then I went to support Mr. Jiraiya, and was injured by the Rinnegan technique... It’s really powerful, the leader of the Akatsuki organization named Uzumaki Nagato.”
“Uzumaki Nagato is stronger than he was more than a month ago.” Namikaze Minato suddenly said:
“Strong emotions seem to give those eyes new power, and he is still very young and will grow again...ahem.”
Minato Namikaze coughed violently, and veins popped up at the corners of Hinata Yuuto's eyes, and he frowned:
"Your lungs are seriously injured. It's better to speak less. The doctors at the field hospital are average. I'll finish my work and come over to treat you in a while. You have to pay attention to this injury. If you don't take care of it well, it will lead to the root cause of the disease."
“No, you are temporarily acting as the commander, and there is more... Oops!”
Uzumaki Kushina had a gloomy face, pinched the soft flesh of Namifeng Minato's waist, turned her head with a sunny smile, and said sincerely to Hinata Yuuto:
"Thank you, Yuuto-kun. Minato will leave it to you."
Namikaze Minato was helpless:
“…I’m really sorry to trouble you, Yuuto. Lord Hokage happens to be still here. Let’s go and ask for instructions on the matter in the scroll.”
Hinata Yuuto smiled and nodded, and left the house with Namikaze Minato.
This is the sixth hour after the "Moon God Siege", and it has become completely dark.
For Konoha, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure, this was a complete defeat.
Luna left in a big way, not only taking the bait containing Uchiha power, but also taking away Miko Hinata!
A young man and woman disappeared from the Hyuga clan, and it can basically be announced that the Byakugan has leaked out.
After Uzumaki Nagato destroyed the Four Red Sun Formation, he fought with Jiraiya. When Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Minato arrived, Jiraiya was already dying.
Nagato had experience fighting the Flying Thunder God, and managed to escape after paying a certain price. He even used the seriously injured Jiraiya as bait to injure Namikaze Minato, who was eager to save his teacher.
Until now, Jiraiya is still not out of danger. Tsunade is treating him personally, and even Namikaze Minato doesn't care.
Namikaze Minato needed to recuperate, and the affairs of the Western Front were naturally temporarily entrusted to the deputy commander Hyuga Yuuto. The boy who separated from the family only had time to throw Miko's body into the wet bone forest, and then hurried back to the camp. He has been busy until now, and the loot is all gone. Didn't have time to process it.
In order to encircle and kill the Moon God, Konoha has sacrificed too much, but apart from some information that cannot be 100% certain, there is no substantial gain.
“All operational plans for Luna will be frozen, and the village will maintain only minimal intelligence gathering activities.”
This is the decision that Sarutobi Hiruzen made helplessly two hours ago.
However, everyone knows that the "four major powers failed to jointly attack the Moon God" has caused waves that are far from over.
Somewhere in the camp, the Hokage’s temporary office is located.
"This guy Ōnoki really can't take it lightly. He actually took advantage of this brief alliance to take advantage of Kumogakure's idea..." Sarutobi Hiruzen closed the scroll and looked at the pale-faced Namikaze Minato and Hinata Yuuto who stood respectfully. I sighed in my heart.
What was the configuration of Konoha Village before the Great Ninja War started?
He is Sarutobi Hiruzen! Sannin! Namikaze Minato! Danzo Shimura! Uchiha! Hinata! Pig deer butterfly! The Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki!
There are really so many masters and fierce generals as rain, even Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't know how to lose.
But at this moment, Orochimaru has left Konoha, Danzo Shimura has been expelled from the center of power in the village, Jiraiya is seriously injured and dying, Tsunade is still afraid of hemorrhage, Namikaze Minato's lungs are injured and needs training, and the Hyuga clan Losing two clan members one after another...
This is almost the weakest moment in the nearly fifty years since Konoha established the village.
The strategy of "the Hokage sits in the village and the younger generation of masters fight on the front lines to gain fame and experience." has been declared bankrupt.
With Jiraiya seriously injured, a two-front war became a luxury.
The shadow-level combat power that Konoha currently has at its disposal is not enough to withstand the four nations of wind, earth, thunder, and water at the same time.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and said softly:
"Minato, what do you think? Tell me."
Yellow Flash smiled bitterly and replied:
"Hokage-sama, at this time, if Iwagakure really kills the Third Raikage Ai, no matter how much Kumogakure wants to take revenge, he can only choose to retreat. After all, their Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki is also imprisoned and lacks strength."
“In that case, our western front will have to face the powerful Iwagakure and Sunagakure, who is good at puppetry, and the eastern front will have to face Kirigakure alone...or we will also have to add Kumogakure who is sad."
"Even if Yuuto heals me, this lung injury will take a month to heal. Yuuto and I can withstand the Western Front, but the Eastern Front requires Hokage-sama to come to the battlefield in person, but the village is currently..." Namikaze Minato stopped talking. .
Sarutobi Hiruzen understood what he meant.
Hinata suffered serious losses. Whether it was to appease or compensate, as Hokage, he must go back to suppress it.
Danzo Shimura is not an honest guy, and the elders are not of the same mind. The major ninja clans still need to be careful and suppress them. During the war, there must be no trouble in the base camp.
—As the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi cannot leave the village for too long.
“Minato, just tell me.”
"Lord Hokage, Raikage cannot die, we should save him, and use this as an opportunity to form an alliance with Kumogakure, let them help us resist the pressure of Eastern Kirigakure, and also contain Iwagakure... If Raikage is killed because of us If we live, the foundation of the alliance will be stronger."
Sarutobi Hiruzen lightly closed his eyes:
“Yuuto, what do you think?”
"Hokage-sama, Commander Minato is right."
Hinata Yuuto replied calmly, as if "I am the loyal hand of the fourth generation leader of Konoha".
“Okay.” Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly laughed.
Although the village has been severely damaged now, the new leaves have grown enough to protect against wind and rain.
"Minato, you stay in the camp." Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up, rubbed his tired shoulders, and continued:
“Yuuto, you, your teacher, and me, let’s go for a walk.”
