Chapter 505: Ohnoki Retreats, Orochimaru Pursues Him

Sending such a small number of people to set up an ambush, isn't it too confident?

This small number of people can't support the arrival of reinforcements.

"Forget it, set up some traps and then go back, it's boring."

The fast-moving troops that besieged the three Raikage did not appear, but a group of small shrimps were sent out instead.

Think about it, even if Itachi is talented, Ohnoki can't treat him as the third generation Raikage, and it's good enough to set up an ambush specifically for Itachi.

It's unlikely to expect Ohnoki to send out the main force to do such a thing, unless he, Uchiha Yan, personally goes out.

But can the Rock Village pile him to death?

Yan expressed curiosity.

"Yes."

Itachi left decisively, returned to the battlefield, used local materials, and the materials he carried on his body to set up a lot of traps, and then left with Yan.

"Sir, this is the information I have collected on the battlefield recently."

Itachi handed the intelligence scroll to Yan respectfully.

Yan sat on the rock and opened the scroll to read.

Seeing this, Itachi quietly left and went outside to hunt. He handled the prey skillfully and put it on the makeshift grill. He even took out the seal scroll and took out various seasonings from it.

These things were prepared for Yan and were spare items.

If Yan didn't take the seasoning he prepared, then Itachi's spare ones would come in handy.

At this time, Yan didn't have the heart to pay attention to the barbecue. He was looking at the information collected by Itachi.

From the dispatch of the patrol team of the Rock Village, the patrol area, the distribution of secret guards, etc., Itachi was collecting a series of information, and also drew a simple map. The places marked with × on the map meant that they had been cleared.

At a glance, a large area of ​​× covered this simple map.

Yan couldn't help laughing:

"No wonder the people of the Rock Village call you Blood Crow. Many people have fallen into your hands."

I'm afraid that Ohnoki will feel distressed for a while.

"It's a very good piece of information, although it's not very useful. Ohnoki is going to fight with our village to the end.

That's right, the main battlefield is the Taki no Kuni battlefield, not our side, but with such a lineup, it's a bit of a disdain for us."

It's decided. After returning, let Orochimaru add a little pressure to Ohnoki.

You old thing, do you really think that you can stay in peace by sitting in the camp?

There is no such good thing in the world. Since you, the Rock Ninja Village, are not afraid of consumption, then consume more people.

No need to thank me, who made me handsome and kind.

It was decided happily.

The aroma of barbecue wafted out of the cave. Yan didn't worry that the smell and smoke of barbecue would attract the attention of the enemy. After following Itachi for several days, he could finally sit down and have a peaceful meal.

Yan was eating barbecue comfortably and looking at the stars.

On the other side, Ohnoki seemed to be in a bad mood.

The ambushed ninja troops were completely wiped out, and none of them escaped.

If he hadn't checked it himself, Ohnoki would have even suspected that it was Hiko who had wiped out the ninja army.

After careful observation, Ohnoki was sure that it had nothing to do with Hiko, and that it was Itachi's work.

"It seems that I still underestimated Uchiha Itachi."

According to his idea, as long as the ambush troops in the front could hold Itachi back, it would not cause much trouble to Itachi. As long as the troops could hold him back, the supporting troops would be able to surround Itachi.

By then, Itachi would not be able to escape even if he could fly.

Unfortunately, he took it for granted.

When he arrived with his men, all he saw was the mess and corpses scattered all over the battlefield.

"Lord Tsuchikage, all the traps have been eliminated, and the corpses have been sealed with scrolls. Should we track the traces left by the enemy?"

Ohnoki was indeed evil-minded, but he was also a man of honor.

Now there were corpses of his own people everywhere. If he didn't sort them out and take them back, it would definitely chill the hearts of the ninjas in the village.

Even though it would take a lot of seal scrolls to take these corpses away, Ohnoki could only grit his teeth and give the order.

"No need, it's too late. I underestimated the danger level of Uchiha Itachi. The enemy will leave clues and may be waiting for us to catch up."

The failure of the ambush means that others have seen through their intentions.

It is meaningless to catch up at this time.

If you really catch up, you may be ambushed in return.

Whether Konoha will set up an ambush for this, Ohnoki dare not bet, and will not bet.

"My lord, the defense line of the Rock Village has begun to move back."

Such important news could not be hidden from the people on the front line, and the news was delivered to Orochimaru as soon as possible.

Looking at the intelligence scroll, Orochimaru showed a playful smile:

"It seems that the blood crow has brought a big blow to the Rock Village. The fact that the Rock Village can choose to move the defense line backwards is enough to show that the loss of the Rock Village is great."

So what should I do?

Steady and steady or...

The hesitation was less than five seconds. Orochimaru, who was absolutely confident in himself, licked his lips with his tongue:

"Pass my order, press down. If the Rock Village dares to move the defense line back, we dare to pursue them. We must not give them too many breathing opportunities."

Just chase them hard and it will be over. There is no need to worry too much.

If you dare to retreat, I dare to chase you and I dare to fight. Don't think that I, Orochimaru, like to play dirty. I dare not fight you head-on on the front battlefield.

The key point is that Konoha dares to fight, but the Rock Village does not.

So the Iwagakure is bound to suffer, and the recent consumption has far exceeded Ohnoki's bottom line. It is inevitable that the Iwagakure's defense line will retreat.

For them, the war has no initiative.

Now Ohnoki can only hope that the situation on the battlefield will stabilize.

It is obviously not a rational behavior to fight Konoha to the end. What Iwagakure can do is to stabilize the situation, and then the victory or defeat depends on the battle of Taki Country.

If the battle of Taki Country is won, Ohnoki will have the confidence to sit down and negotiate with Konoha to end the war.

If the battle of Taki Country is lost, the negotiation is redundant, and it is enough to directly declare surrender.

"Lord Tsuchikage, Konoha's defense line is constantly advancing. If it continues like this, we will lose the initiative in the war."

"Continue to retreat and put the last line of defense on the border. Konoha will not attack."

Onoki gave the order decisively without any hesitation.

It is impossible to expect him to follow Orochimaru's rhythm.

If you want to pursue us and attack us, I will just retreat.

If you have the guts, you can lead your army to attack the Land of Earth.

If you don't dare, then the situation can be stabilized.

"Everyone, the war has been out of our hands since the moment the Cloud Village declared war on us."

"I hope you can understand that the battlefield of Taki Land is our main goal.

The village is not suitable for a large-scale war with Konoha. It is enough for us to stabilize the situation."
