Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

Regarding the two questions Shirataki asked in succession, Nara Shikaji decided to answer the second one first, after thinking for a while, "Judging from the number of corpses, the number of deaths in Sunagakure is much higher than ours. No matter how you calculate it, it's close to 800 people." , the number of injured is estimated to be more.”

After talking about Sunagakure's situation, Nara Shikaji began to answer Shirataki's first question, "Shirataki-sama, judging from the results we achieved this time, this battle loss ratio is already quite good."

"No one is immortal in a war. During the Sakumo-sama period, when we Konoha and Sunagakure fought, the battle loss ratio was not two to one. Now the battle loss ratio has been reversed, almost reaching one to four. For This kind of change.”

Saying that, Nara Shikaji paused, bowed slightly to Shirataki, and then said seriously, "I, Nara Shikaji, sincerely admire you, and I also thank you for all the Konoha ninjas on the Sunagakure front."

Nara Shikaji's words seemed to cause a chain reaction. Several high-ranking Ninja Army leaders behind them also bowed to Shirataki and spoke out various words of praise. Faced with everyone's flattery, Shirataki just nodded slightly and had no special reaction.

After a while, when the scene calmed down, Shirataki asked Nara Shikaji the next question: "What is the current status of Sunagakure's high-end combat power? Do we have any of their masters left?"

"High-end combat power. You are referring to Chiyo, Rasa, Hayakura and others from Sunagakure Village, right?" Seeing Shirataki nodding, Nara Shikaji thought for a moment and replied, "The ones fighting Chiyo and others were Hata who suddenly returned. Jounin Kisakumo and his subordinates may have special missions, so I did not contact them."

"I guess you have to ask them about the specific situation. But..." After pondering for a while, Nara Shikaji seemed to suddenly think of something, and said in an uncertain tone, "I heard that Chiyo's son was raped by Sakumo. Shinobu was killed."

Hearing that Hatake Sakumo actually killed Chiyo's son, Shirataki couldn't help but frown. A bad feeling emerged in his heart, but he still opened his mouth and said to Nara Shikaji, "I understand the situation. Give the order and close the team. Also, lift the ban on alcohol tonight and let the people below celebrate this victory."

After hearing this, Nara Shikaji smiled slightly and said in a slightly teasing tone, "Everyone's nerves have been tense for so long, and it's really time to relax."

"Victory, relaxation, carnival. I think all the ninjas in our Konoha Ninja Army should have a good impression of you, Shirataki-sama, right?" After saying that, Nara Shikaji and Shirataki looked at each other and smiled, everything was in silence. .

A few minutes later, as the orders were conveyed layer by layer, the Konoha ninjas also gathered together again and returned to the camp one after another.

After that, at night, it’s an endless carnival

At the same time, compared to the lively scene of Konoha Camp, Sunagakure Camp seemed much deserted and quiet.

A famous sand ninja would either silently walk between the camps, bringing back food and medicine for his injured companions, or find a corner to sit and gaze absently at the moon in the sky, or sit in groups around the fire in twos and threes. , chatting with each other.

Today's defeat was beyond everyone's expectations. Whether it was the Third Kazekage's defeat at the hands of Shirataki, or the high-end combat forces such as Chiyo being suppressed by Hatake Sakumo, or the melee, when the Konoha ninjas were defeated by the aggressive Konoha ninjas. Companions who will always remain on the battlefield

The severity of the blow that the Sunagakure experienced this time can be said to be unprecedented since the beginning of the war. More than 700 people died and more than 1,500 were injured. This can be said for the Sunagakure troops with a total number of just over 3,000. It was a head-on blow.

With more than half of its combat strength damaged, no one knows how to fight the next war or whether there is any hope of victory. Confusion, fear, depression, and sadness may be the main theme of Sunagakure Camp now.

All the sand ninjas were silently licking their wounds, waiting for tomorrow's unknown future to come slowly, good or bad. It was in this atmosphere that the Third Kazekage and other senior Suna ninjas sat together in the Suna ninja's meeting tent and started the meeting.

"Today's failure, I think the responsibility lies entirely with me, the Kage. If I hadn't been defeated by Uzumaki Shirataki, if I hadn't ordered the retreat," the hoarse tone of the Third Kazekage sounded, which meant that there was self-blame, anger, and Sadness, powerlessness, and despair.

Half of the Third Kazekage's face was filled with expressions of pain, while the other half of his face, including his left eye, was bandaged. Only the remaining right eye was exposed, with the white of the eye exposed. , covered with fine bloodshot eyes.

"No, Sandai, your order is correct!" Chiyo also stared at a pair of scarlet eyes, with faint traces of wet tears at the corners of his eyes.

"Hatake Sakumo's ambush far exceeded our previous expectations. If we had not retreated immediately and fought to the end with Uzumaki Shirataki." Subconsciously, Chiyo slowly exhaled.

Perhaps the thought in her mind was too terrifying and seriously stimulated Chiyo's emotions. Her eyes were closed tightly together without her realizing it.

There was a heavy look on his face. "The annihilation of the whole army may really be the final outcome for us Sunagakure!" Chiyo's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the scene suddenly. It hit the hearts of several people, causing the atmosphere to fall into deathly silence in an instant.

Beside the round table, Luo Sha, who had a bruised nose and face, unconsciously glanced to the left and right, and his eyes stayed for a while on the silent Ebizo, the choking Chiyo daughter-in-law, and Ye Cang, who was covered in bandages and seemed to be asleep. .

Finally, he turned his attention to the Third Kazekage and said, "Sandaime-sama, I have a question."

Raising his eyelids, Sandai glanced at Luo Sha and said, "Just ask."

Although Luo Sha had bruises on her cheeks and looked quite funny, this still did not cover up the seriousness of Luo Sha's expression, as well as the seriousness and sharpness in her eyes.

Luo Sha took a deep breath, and then, without a moment's hesitation, he directly pointed the finger at an old man who was not at the scene at this time. "Third generation master, why didn't Senior Feng Xiang take action? He just looked at us Sha with such indifference. Was Shinobu killed by a Konoha ninja? Is he still a ninja from our Sunagakure Village?"

As if he had expected that someone would mention this, the Third Kazekage just thought for a moment and quickly made a decision in his mind. Then, he spoke calmly and replied, "Wind Erosion originally wanted to take action, but I stopped him." ”

Luo Sha opened her mouth wide in surprise, and asked loudly with confusion on her face, "Why?"

Seeing that Luosanne was obviously a little out of control, and Chiyo and others also turned their attention, the Third Kazekage raised his hand slightly to signal everyone to calm down.

"I wonder if you have noticed that after the pursuit began, although the Konoha ninjas swarmed forward, Uzumaki Shirataki himself never caught up?"

Hearing this, Luo Sha couldn't help but lower his head and recall for a moment, and suddenly realized that the fact seemed to be true.

Noticing that Luo Sha's expression was obviously stunned, the Third Kazekage put on a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "This is how I see this matter."

"That's the existence of wind erosion, which should make Uzumaki Shirataki feel a little afraid."

"In this case, wind erosion does not take action, which is equivalent to an invisible deterrent."

"Uzumaki Shirataki is definitely not willing to take the initiative because he is afraid of wind erosion. The purpose is to prevent flaws from being exposed first in the melee."

"After all, for speed ninjas, whoever has the upper hand will have an absolute advantage in the battle."

Having said this, the Third Kazekage decisively stopped and had no intention of continuing. At the same time, his expression was full of calmness and calmness, as if he had everything under control.

It felt like he felt that everyone could understand the meaning of what he said next without having to say it himself.

Luo Sha frowned, seeming to be thinking, obviously not thinking clearly for the moment, but Chiyo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the Third Kazekage, revealing the mystery, "The trump card can only be a strong enough deterrent when it is not revealed. Power, Uzumaki Shirataki is afraid of wind erosion because he doesn’t understand it.”

"That's why he didn't dare to catch up in person, but just sent his subordinates to be his pawns."

"Sandai, I admire you for being able to remain calm in the face of danger and still make the most correct response at the most dangerous moment, thus preserving the last remaining vitality of our Sunagakure." Regarding Chiyo's words and solemn attitude, the Third Kazekage was just relieved. Xu nodded, but did not respond or answer. After all, those words just now were just made up by him.

He didn't know why Shirataki didn't catch up, but with the arrogant attitude shown by the other party in front of the two armies, the possibility of fearing wind erosion was very small. In addition, in the crisis, he really couldn't control the wind erosion.

The attitude of the former member of the Daikage Guards was very clear, that is, to keep his Kazekage, and anything else had nothing to do with the old man. Therefore, the Third Kazekage knew that he could never tell what the real situation was.

Luo Sha's previous performance is actually not an exception. Among the current Sunagakure army, there are a lot of rumors targeting Feng Xiang and commenting on Feng Xiang's failure to save him. To be honest, this phenomenon is quite normal.

After all, except for the Third Kazekage who was unable to fight again, all the current high-end combat forces in Sunagakure Village, Chiyo, Rasa, Hayakura, Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law, and the masters of the puppet master army, all participated in that tragic event The ultimate pursuit.

Some people even lost their lives because of this, and could only watch the wind erosion from beginning to end. The Third Kazekage really couldn't come up with an accurate conclusion as to whether Fueoro's ideas and actions were right or wrong. He only knew that this was definitely not the time for Sunagakure's internal strife.

The Third Kazekage has seen Shirataki's combat power with his own eyes. With their current high-end combat power, it is somewhat difficult to compete. Therefore, in the current situation of such a powerful enemy, if there are any conflicts within Sunagakure, it will undoubtedly be seeking death.

All internal disputes must be put aside temporarily. This is the idea of ​​the Third Kazekage, and it is also the overall view of a great ninja village leader. For this reason, it is nothing to spread some panic.

"Luosha, I hope you can look at the matter of wind erosion objectively and rationally." The Third Kazekage said to Luosha seriously, his tone was serious and firm, and he was obviously not joking. "As the Kazekage candidate that I am paying attention to, I I think you should not only abandon those suspicious thoughts in your mind now, but also "

"In this critical period, shoulder the heavy burden, take the initiative to set an example, and dispel some rumors within the Ninja Army that are not conducive to unity. Remember, don't let anger go to your head, let alone be blinded by self-righteous thinking. . Otherwise, it will only cause pain to your loved ones and happiness to your enemies. This is my advice to you.”

After saying these words in an instructive manner, seeing Luo Sha's face showing shame, the Third Kazekage also shifted his gaze and looked at Chiyo, "Elder Chiyo, our high-end combat power seems to be seriously insufficient now, so..."

Hearing the implication of the Third Kazekage, Chiyo responded decisively without much hesitation, "I will write to my teacher and ask him to come out again and do his last bit for our Sunagakure Village."

"Ah, Elder Monzaemon's age, I am serious." He pretended to sigh. The Third Kazekage's expression was full of guilt, but before he could finish speaking, Chiyo expressed his position again, "Sandai, you don't have to "Explain what, the teacher is also a member of our Sunagakure Village. At this critical moment, I believe he will understand you."
