Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 11 Late night siege
On the sixth day after Shisui requested reinforcements, the Mist Ninjas ceased all actions, the scale of their harassment not even comparable to the ninja conflicts during normal missions.

On the seventh day, the reconnaissance ninja sent by Shisui reported that reinforcements had arrived eighty miles away from the camp.

At the speed of a ninja, this distance can be covered in a few hours at full speed.

"At their speed, I estimate it will take another two days to cover this distance!"

Uchiha Hui laughed angrily after hearing the report and started to mock.

Shisui nodded, and even he had to admit that Hui was right, but he didn't care and took out a letter he had prepared for a long time from his arms.

"It's okay, let them be. Brother Hui, I have a letter here. You go and deliver it to Commander Nara in person and ask for new orders. Be sure to bring the letter back before tomorrow."

"No problem, leave it to me. I'm not one of those weaklings who can't walk!"

Hui took the letter without asking any questions, grinned and left immediately.

"Have you thought it through? If you make a move, it will surely arouse their hatred."

After Hui left, Sima Yi, who had been reading a book nearby, spoke slowly.

"Yes, teacher. I have thought it through. For the sake of the village, I must save my family. Konoha cannot continue to be in the hands of these people."

The delay in the arrival of reinforcements made Shisui see the true colors of these people once again. If Kirigakure really sent reinforcements, who would care about the life or death of the Uchiha, or the safety of the front line?

Sima Yi nodded with relief. Shisui finally saw his proper position. Only in this way would he have a chance of success in the next trip to Konoha!
"In that case, do as you wish."

"is teacher."

Late at night, Uchiha Hui ran hundreds of miles, bypassing the reinforcements and rushed to the Wuzhen camp to meet Nara Suzaku.

Seeing Uchiha Hui Nara Suzaku visiting late at night, his scalp tingled and he was shocked.

Could it be that Kirigakure is really making a big move and the front line has been breached?
"Commander Nara, this is a letter that Captain Shisui asked me to deliver. Please personally reply as soon as possible, Commander Nara." Uchiha Teru's serious expression made Nara Suzaku more certain of his judgment.

His heart sank and he quickly took the letter and read it.

The letter roughly read: "It has been confirmed that Kirigakure has no reinforcements, but the elite Kirigakure ninjas have been harassing the front lines day and night for several days.

Our army was short of manpower and could not bear the harassment, and the reinforcements were slow to arrive, making it difficult for our army to guard the entire line.

We now request to retreat to the rear and wait for reinforcements, and I ask Nara to make the decision."

That's it?

Since Kirigakure has no successor, why send reinforcements? It's obvious that the other party is just trying to disgust them, which is harmless at all.

After reading the letter, Nara Suzaku stood there in a daze, not being able to believe his eyes. He read it carefully again to make sure he had not read it wrong, then glanced at Uchiha Teru.

After a long time, he finally suppressed the urge to hit someone and called together the senior ninjas from various departments to discuss and make a decision.

"Allow Uchiha Shisui to lead his men to retreat to the second line of defense and wait for the follow-up troops to hand over before returning to Konoha!"

The jonin from each tribe nodded. Since the front line did not need reinforcements, they could return to Konoha with peace of mind.

Only Utane Kae was dissatisfied. Her nephew had been sent to the front line, and would only be able to come back with the Uchiha people. The villagers of Konoha would not remember what he looked like.

But considering the time, the reinforcements are probably about to arrive, and it is impossible to call them back at this time.

Uchiha Hui didn't care what Utane Kae thought. After receiving the order, he turned around and rushed back to the front line overnight.

At the same time, in the Whirlpool Country camp, Qing also received a secret intelligence.

"Konoha's reinforcements? Where did you get this information?"

The information was brought by his assistant, but all their reconnaissance ninjas were dead, so how could they have obtained such information?

"Someone sent it here on purpose. It's probably the same person who did the night raid on the rear camp last time." The assistant didn't care about the source of the news, since he couldn't find it anyway. He cared more about whether the news was accurate.

"Although we achieved some results in the last night raid, we also suffered heavy losses. We should be more cautious this time."

Another assistant felt the same way. The loss of more than a dozen teams was not a small amount.

Qing's face sank. He now finally understood why the former commander had agreed to the last night attack. It turned out that the Mizukage had had this plan since then.

"financial."

He sighed, burned the information, and then said: "The information should be true."

"So what if it's true? There are Uchiha people watching at the front line, so we can't get through."

"That's right, let's forget it. We are already short of manpower, and the order from the Mizukage may..."

At this moment they really didn't want to seize the Sharingan, they just wanted to return to the village as soon as possible. The resentment of those bloody ninjas below could no longer be suppressed.

Although Qing had some ideas in his mind, he had to give up when he saw that no one agreed.

However, the next morning.

"What did you say, the Uchiha withdrew?"

The three people in the tent were shocked. Why did they withdraw their troops for no reason?

Qing couldn't believe it, and immediately took people to the front line to observe using the White Eye.

"They are really retreating. Are they going to retreat to the second line or return to Konoha?"

If we return to Konoha, it would be too disrespectful to them. They haven't left yet!

"I'm afraid I'll have to go to the second line."

The first line is fifty miles before and after the Uchiha camp, and the second line is fifty miles beyond that.

Qing rolled his eyes, thinking thoughtfully about the intelligence from last night.

"Hahaha, this is a godsend. It seems that the conflicts within Konoha are no less than ours."

He understood what the other party meant. He despised the act of betraying a partner, but he had no choice but to do what the other party wanted.

Who made them the same kind of people?
"Gather everyone, take action tonight!"

"Captain Lidou, it's getting dark. We're still thirty miles away from the camp. Should we speed up and arrive before dark?"

More than a dozen team captains stared at the young man in front of them with grim expressions. Even if they didn't want to support Uchiha, they didn't want to make it so ugly.

As a ninja, the daily march was less than thirty miles, and he had to explore the surroundings almost every few steps. His purpose was too obvious.

"No need for that. The closer we are to the front line, the more cautious we must be. Traveling at night is too dangerous. If the Mist Ninja takes advantage of us, who will be responsible?"

Utane Rikito's face remained calm. He had prepared a set of excuses over the past few days that were enough to deal with these civilian ninjas.

"With Uchiha guarding the front lines, how could there be Mist Ninjas here?"

No one dared to offend him, and they all kept silent after hearing what he said. Only the young man in their team was very dissatisfied and kept grumbling, but he was quickly stopped by them.

At night, Zhuanqilidu had people light a campfire to cook. Although he said he would be cautious, his actions were not cautious at all.

"They actually started a fire here. They really don't take us seriously!"
