Chapter 119 The war is over? A new struggle has begun!
Grassland defense line.
Upon his arrival, Shimura Danzo immediately took control of the troops.
His expression was quite interesting after receiving the intelligence scroll.
"More than 600 clan ninjas survived, and more than 100 commoner ninjas survived."
"waste!"
"Hiruzen, your strategy of establishing a commoner-based family has failed!"
"You lost again!"
The proportion of strong members among the clan's ninjas is too high.
The position they occupy, and the weight they rightfully deserve!
The relatively safe positions were assigned to clan ninjas, whose strength was already formidable, so the casualty rate naturally decreased.
As for the selfless Jonin who assigns tasks to everyone equally?
There are such people, but not many!
As the saying goes, every family has a child.
Danzo Shimura burned the scroll, and the clan's ninjas returned in glory. The village had to do something to show their support.
Is there anything we can do to help?
And that evil brat, Uchiha Yuuki!
If you dare to open your eyes today, you'll dare to rebel tomorrow!
"Activate the Kaleidoscope!"
"The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan..."
Danzo Shimura's face was filled with greed.
"We must warn Hiruzen to be careful of the Uchiha!"
"The extreme Uchiha clan has caused far too much pain to the village!"
Danzo Shimura repeatedly wrote down the cases of Madara Uchiha and Setsuna Uchiha on the scroll, reminding Hiruzen Sarutobi to be careful of the Uchiha!
He returned the scroll to the village, stood in the center of the camp, and looked towards the Grassland to the northwest.
How could one not grasp the terrifying power of the kaleidoscope in one's own hands?
...
Hidden Rock Village.
"If there truly is a Sage of Six Paths, why does he only protect Konoha and not my Iwagakure?"
Onoki rubbed his aching back, his teeth practically grinding to powder!
I'm jealous!
Jealousy!
Why hasn't this village produced any exceptionally strong young individuals?
"Konoha has caught up with everything!"
"Pass on my secret order! The spies, disguised as Sand Village or Rain Village ninja, will plunder the resources of the Rain Country!"
Onoki hesitated for a moment, then became extremely determined.
"All resources!"
This is the only way to ensure the future of Iwagakure!
The storm of war did not stop with Yuuki's victory; instead, it intensified.
...
"The war is finally coming to an end!"
Jiraiya, having changed out of his plate armor and into white casual clothes, looked relaxed and cheerful, gradually becoming more and more unserious.
Yuuki mingled among the returning troops, striking up conversations with everyone, looking for his next victim... a miracle worker.
Before long, Jiraiya, who was wandering around, discovered Yuuki's whereabouts.
"Yuki!"
Jiraiya laughed heartily, stepped forward to greet him, and winked, saying, "The war is almost over. How about coming with me to see the 'flower' shop in the ninja world?"
He had a knowing look on his face.
Jiraiya is only twenty years old now, and has never experienced the hardships of a major battle, let alone led a force.
Their understanding of war is somewhat naive.
"Jiraiya-senpai, do you really think the war is over?"
Yuuki shifted his gaze for a moment, glancing at the Chimera Ant Queen left on the border of the Rain Country to see how many resources she had collected.
Then I switched my gaze back.
Being a 'boss' is great; you only need to take risks. The king insects, on the other hand, think too much.
Jiraiya looked at the energetic heroes and replied, "It's over. The Land of Rain was swiftly attacked and is unable to sustain the war. They will definitely withdraw from the battlefield. The demigod Hanzo of the Salamander has improved his strength. Iwagakure and Sunagakure may not be willing to continue fighting."
Listening to Jiraiya's analysis, Yuuki slowly raised his head, a half-smile playing on his lips, a flash of blood red appearing as his eyes swirled.
"Yes, the war in the Land of Rain is over."
Jiraiya scratched the back of his head, just about to burst out laughing.
His next sentence choked back his joy.
"A new round of fighting is about to begin."
Yuuki and Jiraiya exchanged glances, and Yuuki asked curiously, "The Rain Defense Line suffered heavy losses of village ninjas, while most of the ninjas from the major clans survived. Do you think this is appropriate? Is it reasonable?"
Of course it's not appropriate.
Jiraiya suddenly realized this, but dared not say it aloud.
Unlike Tsunade, who came from a noble family, he was a genuine commoner ninja from Konoha.
Without the guidance of elders, Jiraiya was deeply influenced by the Third Hokage's Will of Fire.
Even though I went to Mount Myoboku to study, it broadened my horizons considerably.
His 'Konoha commoners theory' and 'family obstacle theory' had been sprouting wildly in his heart.
This is a problem that originated from the very roots of the great tree of Konoha.
By supporting the growth of commoner ninjas, the village grew in strength.
This is the truth that is visible to the naked eye!
However, the commoner ninjas who helped the village progress were unable to receive more rewards.
It's unreasonable that a key position is being blocked by clan ninjas!
Therefore, it was not wrong for the teacher to weaken the clan's ninjas, maintain the village's stability, and promote the orderly development of Konoha!
After a simple reminder, Jiraiya instantly understood, and his expression turned ugly.
"this...."
The losses for each family were not significant.
Instead, under the command of Elder Mitomon, more than two thousand civilian ninjas were lost.
The old man won't stand idly by.
Jiraiya became melancholy and even lost interest in drinking with courtesans.
Yuuki turned back and looked towards the Land of Rain. Across a hundred miles, he seemed to glimpse a scene of broken walls and ruins, where the fearless scythe-wielders guarded the ruins and upheld the dignity of the small nation.
He seemed to be muttering to himself, his voice just loud enough for Jiraiya to hear clearly.
"Two-thirds of the structures that sustain the Rain Kingdom have been destroyed. Rather than retreating to their lair and silently licking their wounds, it seems more in line with the ferocious 'beasts' to go on a desperate hunt, right?"
Thinking of this, Jiraiya took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "So, your proposal to launch a blitzkrieg against the Land of Rain wasn't to end the war at all, but to challenge Hanzo of the Salamander and awaken the Sharingan?"
"No, that's not right. If Hanzo of the Salamander had been a little weaker, you could have killed him and ended the war once you mastered the Sharingan!"
what?
I killed Hanzo? Really?
Yuuki rubbed his temples and shook his head helplessly. "Jiraiya-senpai, are you that good at making things up?"
"It's not shameful if you don't understand the strategy; you can ask me."
Jiraiya scratched his head awkwardly.
Yuuki took a deep breath; it had been a long time since he had proclaimed his Will of Fire!
"Everything for the village."
Yuuki spoke eloquently, “First of all, the blitzkrieg against the Land of Rain is not the so-called extreme risky tactic you mentioned. Betting on activating the Kaleidoscope eye technique was not even in the plan from the beginning; it was too dangerous.”
"!"
"The blitzkrieg's target areas are mainly concentrated near Konoha. Losing these key locations will make it difficult for Amegakure to confront Konoha and rebuild its defenses time and time again. In other words, the money spent won't be recouped."
"Activating the Kaleidoscope was an unexpected bonus, merely adding an extra layer of security to end the Rain Defense Line."
Jiraiya was dumbfounded. "So, it's just ending the war between the village and the Land of Rain. The war between the Rain Village and the Sand Village and the Stone Village will actually become even more intense?"
"That's how it should be."
After saying that, Yuuki ignored Jiraiya and left him to think alone, while his own consciousness sank into the psychic space.
The war will not end. The contradiction between the ever-increasing number of ninjas and the limited mission rewards in the ninja villages remains unresolved!
