Chapter 391 Konoha Vs. Mist Village
The view turns to Konoha Village.
Compared to the hastily mobilized Sand Village, Konoha had learned about the crazy war of Kirigakure much earlier.
Naturally, they started preparing earlier.
Tobirama was not sure why Kirigakure dared to go crazy and suicidal and go to war with Konoha at this time?
Although he was still settling a large number of Uzushio clan members and more than 200,000 women and children from Kumogakure Village.
Such a large population, even if they were all settled outside the village, would be difficult for Konoha, and it was indeed a bit flustered and lost.
But it did not affect the overall combat power level of the family at all!
Moreover, after absorbing some Uzumaki ninjas, Konoha's overall strength was slightly improved.
How could a mere Kirigakure Village be able to make trouble?
Tobirama thought with his buttocks, and knew that Kirigakure Village was likely to have something bad in mind, or had something to rely on.
He instantly guessed many possibilities, just hoping that it would not be the worst case.
Since the war had already started, Tobirama was not afraid.
The most difficult times have been overcome. Now the Hidden Leaf Village is the first force in the ninja world. It is so powerful that it would be afraid of a mere Kirigakure?
Since Kirigakure is determined to die, I don't mind sending them off as soon as possible!
Therefore.
When he learned that the main force of Kirigakure had left the Land of Water, Tobirama immediately ordered the Hokage Sarutobi to mobilize the main force of Konoha again and prepare to go out of the village to fight.
The battlefield must not be chosen in Kirigakure. If they are really beaten, it will be a home attack.
Whether they win or lose, it will be a disaster for the village.
So it is necessary to set the battlefield outside the village, the farther away from the village, the better.
According to intelligence.
Kirigakure has dispatched a full 20,000 ninjas this time, which means that almost all the Kirigakure ninjas have been dispatched except for the remaining old, weak and sick ones.
This clearly shows that they don't even want to leave their nests, and are ready to do their best and fight to the end at all costs!
Although such tactics seemed completely crazy to Tobirama, he still gave the Hidden Mist Village enough respect for the sake of safety.
Konoha directly put together an elite main force of 4,000 people, plus hundreds of Uzumaki ninjas, which was definitely enough to crush most forces!
Although the 20,000 ninja troops of the Hidden Mist Village seemed scary, most of them were Genin, and the overall quality was far from comparable to that of Konoha.
Not a big deal!
…
This time, Tobirama also brought almost all of his own high-level combat forces.
Including Uchiha Kagami, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and even his sister-in-law Uzumaki Mito, who were also Kage-level combat forces!
All of them were dispatched.
There were also more than a hundred senior ninjas from the Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga, Sarutobi, and other tribes...
It can be said that the lineup is extremely luxurious.
Especially Kagami has obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan, and has also obtained a position second only to the clan leader in the Uchiha clan, and his voice has been greatly improved.
He can already influence the atmosphere of most of the Uchiha clan, so that the whole clan supports Konoha Village.
It's obvious.
The Hidden Mist Village is trying to finish the battle, and Konoha doesn't want to do the same.
Sooner or later, we have to fight a battle, so why not defeat the Hidden Mist Village once and for all!
After setting off, they marched all the way.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has succeeded the Third Hokage, rushed to the side of Teacher Tobirama and couldn't help asking worriedly:
"Teacher, I feel that the attack on the Hidden Mist Village is very unusual. They must have a conspiracy!"
"I know."
Tobirama responded lightly, very calmly.
"I'm worried that they will send people to attack the village while our main force leaves the village to meet the attack..."
"Have all the scout teams been dispersed in advance?"
"Yes, they were all dispatched before setting off."
"Then what are you worried about?"
While jumping in the woods, Tobirama glanced at Sarutobi, not believing that Sarutobi didn't even know such simple common sense.
Ninjas have always been strong in highly mobile and highly secretive team infiltration and decapitation missions.
If a large-scale troop movement occurs, it is easy to lose secrecy.
Tens of thousands of troops attacking at the same time cannot hide all traces no matter what; as long as the scouts and sensory ninjas disperse to explore, it is impossible for large-scale enemy forces to split and attack from behind.
Moreover, there are many Hyuga Byakugan ninjas among Konoha's scout ninjas, who can easily lock the enemy with long-range perspective.
Unless the Kirigakure troops dare to send a part of their troops to bypass the entire Land of Fire and spend several times more time to bypass other countries.
But if there is that time, the main forces of both sides will have already met and a decisive battle broke out.
By the time they arrive, Konoha may have destroyed the Kirigakure troops and then returned home leisurely.
"Teacher, I'm not talking about the Kirigakure troops, but other forces..."
"What forces?"
At present, the Hidden Rock Village has been destroyed. Although there are still some troops in the Hidden Cloud Village, they dare not act rashly with Konoha hostages in hand?
Can they still count on the samurai troops of the Iron Country and small ninja villages such as the Hidden Cloud Village to join forces to stab Konoha in the back?
Do they dare?
Can Kirigakure afford the reward?
"Teacher, what if Sand Village takes the opportunity to attack the village?"
"Do you suspect Kirigakure and Sand Village are colluding with each other and have a secret operation?"
"It's possible!"
If the Konoha and Kirigakure troops really fight, Sand Village will stab them in the back.
Whether it's a sneak attack on Konoha Village or a counterattack, it can deal a heavy blow to our side!
"Don't worry, Sand Village did send out troops, but they are all under my surveillance and they didn't rush to our village."
"Ah? Has Sunagakure Village also dispatched troops? Then..."
Sarutobi was slightly startled, hesitant to speak and worried.
"Okay, after all these detours, you just want to take the opportunity to find out about Danzo, right?"
"hey-hey--"
Sarutobi blushed, as expected he couldn't hide anything from the teacher.
Being able to become Hokage, Sarutobi is naturally not a novice in strategy. How could he not understand these basic battlefield knowledge?
Mainly, I just wanted to take the opportunity to ask my old friend for information.
"You're worrying too much. That boy Danzo didn't go out with the army and stayed safely in Sunagakure Village."
"Oh! That's good, that's good!"
Sarutobi felt much more at ease. He was really worried that if Danzo also attacked with the army, if there was a fight, he would not be able to distinguish the undercover agents on the battlefield!
After all, in the eyes of most Konoha ninjas, Danzo is a despicable and hateful traitor to Konoha!
They will show no mercy when encountered on the battlefield.
"Teacher, although the Sunagakure troops are coming towards the battlefield, what if they actually stab us in the back during the battle?"
"What should we do? Then just eat them together!"
"Monkey, as Hokage, can you be tougher?"
"If you let me hear such depressing words again, I will give you a whip!"
Tobirama glared at Sarutobi fiercely, but couldn't help but think of the weakness and cowardice of the elderly Sarutobi, and wished he could slap Sarutobi now.
"yes!"
Sarutobi's scalp numbed with hard air, and then he immediately rushed to the front of the troops.
Kan Dejing, Qiudao Feng and the others secretly sneered.
…
To get from the Kingdom of Water to the Kingdom of Fire, you need to cross a sea. Although ninjas can walk on water, it will definitely take more time and consume more chakra.
Therefore, after the Kirigakure troops arrived in the Land of Fire, they stopped and began to repair and recover.
The march accelerated again the next day, and soon we were thousands of kilometers deep.
Finally, on the morning of the fourth day after the Kirigakure troops launched their attack, the two sides finally collided in a dense forest.
Nothing much to say.
There was a deadly feud between the villages, not to mention that Konoha had previously killed the second-generation Mizukage who was beloved by Kirigakure Village.
As soon as the two sides met, an extremely fierce and large-scale encounter broke out!
