Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 151 Tutai escapes and the war ends

"It's almost time to launch a general attack. We need to tie them down and not let Tutai and his army leave intact."

Behind the eastern front, Sima Yi looked at the time and said.

Although he had not yet received the news that the Western Front had been breached, he knew that the time was ripe after some calculations in his mind.

"As long as we achieve results on the western front, we will attack from both sides and will not let Tutai escape unscathed."

Jiraiya laughed loudly, feeling very happy, and then adjusted his state and rushed to the battlefield.

Sima Yi's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Jiraiya's back and said in his heart: We can win a big victory, but not a complete victory. We cannot leave Tutai easily, but we cannot leave him behind either.

On the other side, facing Konoha's renewed attack, Dodai deployed his troops to deal with it with ease, but the worry in his heart was difficult to dispel.

The western front was surrounded and the reinforcements were destroyed, so they had to evacuate as soon as possible. Anyway, Konoha's first line of defense was still in their hands. As long as they could preserve their strength, this withdrawal would only be a small loss.

As long as the wooden man is fine.
After making the decision, Tsuchida immediately ordered an adjustment in strategy, preparing to launch an all-out attack to contain Konoha's offensive and then evacuate in batches.

As the army was mobilized, everything went very smoothly. Although Jiraiya was very powerful, the battle line between the two sides was very long, and the enemy and our side were intertwined, so he could not use large-scale ninjutsu.

Relying on its military advantage, the Hidden Cloud Army quickly blocked Konoha's offensive after a burst of attacks, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Jiraiya knew that the other side was preparing to withdraw, and they might have already known the situation on the western front.

This is not surprising. After all, the battlefield is so large that they can intercept the transmission of intelligence by surprise, but once the other party realizes the problem, they can quickly adjust the route and send the message.

"I can't let you leave so easily."

Jiraiya didn't like war, but they were the invaded party and had to fight.

The fighting spirit of the Konoha ninja has always been strong. If it weren't for the reckless behavior of the top leaders last time, they wouldn't have been easily defeated here.

Jiraiya waved his arm, and Konoha's morale rose again, and the battle became more intense.

Dodai knew that Jiraiya was difficult to deal with, so he dispatched a lot of people to intercept him, and then notified some troops to withdraw one after another.

The two sides fought for half an hour, and nearly half of the Cloud Village had retreated. Jiraiya knew that they could not keep all the opponents, so he deliberately let some go, but held back the elite troops who were besieging him.

"Lord Dodai, there is movement in the west. Our people have detected Konoha's army. In about a quarter of an hour they will be behind us."

".It seems that something really happened to Troy."

Tutai sighed. He had expected this after the western front was surrounded, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"Approximately how many people are there?"

Half of the army is still left on the battlefield, so he certainly can't abandon them all.

"At least a thousand."

Dodai's face changed. More than a thousand people, this is almost most of Konoha's troops on the western front.

"We have lost this battle. Tell those who can retreat to do so immediately. The team responsible for the rear guard should focus on attracting Konoha's attention."

"Yes!"

Tutai sighed. Although he was reluctant, it was now certain that the western front had been breached. He had to give up some people. If he hesitated, he would suffer the consequences.

Soon, some were ordered to retreat, while others were left behind to cover their retreat.

Ninjas must obey orders.

Even though some people were unwilling in their hearts, they still stayed on the front line with complicated thoughts after receiving the orders from the jonin of each department.

The situation on the battlefield also gradually changed as some of the Hidden Cloud Group's teams withdrew, and Konoha's advantage became increasingly greater.

"Tutai is leaving."

Around Jiraiya, the people of the Hyuga clan kept their eyes on the platform, and immediately gave warnings when they saw the other party move.

"Hahaha, we've been fighting for so many days, how can you just leave without saying goodbye? Come with me and say hello."

It would be fine for others, but he must not let the earth platform leave easily, otherwise they might not be able to take back the defense line, and even if they did, they would suffer heavy losses.

After Jiraiya killed one person, he said with a smile, and then he led nearly a hundred people to easily break through the defense line and head straight for the earth platform.

Dodai hurriedly left the camp and led his army north, but soon received news that Jiraiya was chasing them.

"Don't get too involved with him, send someone to stop them."

Now that the western front has been broken, there will inevitably be a large number of defeated troops. In addition, there are also quite a few of them who are retreating. He is now the backbone of Yunyin and must rush to the rear as soon as possible to take control of the situation.

"Yes."

Dodai gave orders calmly, and seeing this, Jiraiya had to slow down and deal with this team first.

But Tsuchida obviously overlooked one point, the person who had gone around this time was Hyuga Touhiko, a member of the Hyuga clan.

Hinata Higashihiko soon learned of Dodai's retreat, and sent people from the branch family to investigate the opponent's retreat route, and then took a detour to block them.

"Lord Dodai, the Konohagakure ninja team coming from the west changed its route and came in front of us. They have already run into our troops and we are engaging them now."

"what?"

Tutai's heart skipped a beat. He now had less than three thousand men with him, and there were more than a thousand enemy troops blocking the way ahead. Although they had the advantage in terms of manpower, they were a defeated army with low morale. They could not defeat the enemy in a short time.

"Let Jonin Tanaka lead 500 people to stop the enemy, and we will continue to evacuate."

Although it was unexpected, Tutai responded quickly.

"My lord, it's bad, it's the wooden man and Troy lord."

Tutai had just given the order when bad news came from the front again.

The visitor had a panicked look on his face, and although he hadn't finished speaking, Tutai guessed the result almost immediately.

"Master Yumujin and Troy were killed, and their bodies were hung high by the Hyuga clan. Our army's morale is completely gone, and some have already evacuated privately."

"Sir, the rear guard has sent a message that the Konoha side is claiming that the wooden man and Troy are dead. Our army's morale is low and has been defeated. Jiraiya is leading a large army and is chasing us here. We are powerless to stop them!"

On the battlefield, victory or defeat is often decided in just a moment.

His heart was finally hanging in the air, and Tutai felt a darkness before his eyes and almost fell down.

After being supported, Tutai felt that the situation was hopeless and he was disheartened.

"You lead your men to evacuate, I will cover your retreat."

The Raikage handed the army over to him, but he was beaten like this. How could he have the face to return to the village?
Now that the Jinchūriki and Troy were dead, the army was surrounded, and morale was lost. He was powerless to turn the situation around and was determined to die.

Tutai wants to die but the people around him don't want him to die.

Everyone immediately advised: "You can't take command. If you die here, who can stabilize the morale of the army? Who can stop Konoha? Konoha will definitely fall back, and the villagers' companions will have died in vain!"

"That's right. Now only command can stabilize the morale of the troops and bring more people back to the village. Commander Tutai, you must cheer up!"

"Yes, as long as the ninja is here, there is no need to worry about not being able to come back! Master Dodai, cheer up!"

Being pulled by everyone, Dodai gradually calmed down. He glanced at everyone and realized that if he died, the army would lose its commander and the loss of Kumogakure would be even greater. No matter what, he had to bring the village's ninjas back first.

When he thought of this, Tutai's expression changed.

"Tell all the jonin that Yumokuto and Troy are safe and are waiting for us in the north. Have them calm their men down and leave some of them behind to stop the pursuers."

Those jonin certainly couldn't be fooled, but they knew their priorities and understood what Dodai meant. After receiving the order, they immediately appeased their subordinates, but a drop in morale was inevitable.

Now the army had no will to fight, and Tutai understood that they had to get out as soon as possible, so he left behind a rearguard unit and headed north again.

Hinata Higashihiko wanted to stop them, but this time there were some elite members of the Kumogakure who were responsible for covering the retreat. They tried their best to make it difficult for them to break through, and they could only let the Kumogakure army leave.

However, after Dodai left, Hyuga Touhiko calmed down and was no longer anxious. Instead, he commanded his troops to slowly surround the remaining Kumogakure troops and then reunited with Jiraiya.

After the two armies joined forces, the remaining Hidden Cloud Ninjas were completely trapped here. They knew that they were doomed to fail, so they chose to surrender after delaying for a while.

Jiraiya did not kill them all. If he pushed the other side too far, they would suffer a lot of losses. Besides, the captives could not only provide information but also be sold for money. He knew that Konoha's finances in the past two years were not optimistic.

Up to this moment, they have captured thousands of ninjas, and the number will be even higher after the war. This will definitely greatly ease the financial pressure on Konoha. "Master Jiraiya!"

Hinata Dongyan was walking over from a distance. Even with the old-fashioned upbringing of the Hyuga family, he could hardly contain the joy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

This battle was a great victory. The Hyuga clan made a lot of efforts and even surrounded and killed Troy. This battle will definitely be celebrated in Konoha.

Jiraiya nodded in response and immediately said, "Leave some wounded soldiers to clean up the battlefield and monitor the prisoners. We will continue the pursuit! We must not let Tutai escape."

"Yes!"

The army continued to pursue, but Sima Yi was quietly cleaning up the battlefield in the rear. The Yunyin army was moving in a hurry, and many supplies in the camp could not be taken away in time, so Sima Yi had his men collect them.

Afterwards, he tidied up the camp and collected the corpses. He took the Uchiha people to look after the injured Konoha ninjas, and sent the medicinal materials seized from the Cloud Village to the rear camp. He personally instructed the medical ninjas not to be stingy with the medicine, and then had people prepare hot food and send it over.

Although Bingliang Pills can satisfy hunger, they cannot be eaten for a long time and taste far worse than hot food.

Sima Yi's move immediately touched the hearts of the ninjas in the rear camp, and then word spread in the camp that the success of this battle was entirely due to Sima Yi's strategy.

However, there were not many people and the noise was too quiet, so it did not have any impact.

At the same time, Dodai led his army to flee, and after running hundreds of miles, they finally approached the northern defense line, while Jiraiya and Hyuga Touhiko were still following closely behind.

At this moment, he also understood what it felt like when the Konoha army was defeated that night.

"We are at the defense line ahead. Send someone to notify them immediately. We will be safe once we get there."

There are complete defensive fortifications built by Konoha there, and the terrain also has an added bonus. As long as they hold their ground, Konoha will pay a heavy price if it wants to attack by force.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the assistant immediately sent someone out.

However, he soon received the news.

"There is a Konoha army of nearly a thousand people ahead. They have also discovered us and are heading towards us."

Damn!

Tutai was confused, and everyone else was confused too.

"Why is there more in front?"

With enemies blocking them from the front and pursuers behind them, it really seemed as if God was going to kill them.

"Master Tutai, we can't go there. Send someone to stop them. Let's take a detour."

Tutai frowned. If they didn't go around, they would most likely be surrounded and killed here.

If they took a detour, they would have to give up the defense line they had previously captured.

"Master Dodai, Jiraiya's pursuers are approaching. Should we charge at them or go around them? Please make a decision now!"

Everyone was anxious. As a commander, the most taboo thing was hesitation. Tu Tai heard this and had to say, "Let's go around."

He certainly couldn't rush through, he just hoped that the enemy was not too strong, otherwise the remaining army might not be able to hold on for too long, and Yunyin really couldn't afford the loss.

Fortunately, his prayers seemed to come true. Konoha's elite troops might be behind them. Only three hundred people actually stopped nearly a thousand ninjas.

At the same time, the people who had just been stopped by Hui were somewhat puzzled.

"There aren't many of them left behind. If we divide our forces to chase them, we can definitely tie up some of them and wait for Lord Jiraiya's army to arrive and surround and kill them. By then, Kumogakure will no longer be a threat, and we will win."

Hui certainly knew this, but the threat from Yunyin could be reduced but not eliminated. This was what Sima Yi taught him.

"Don't let victory get to your heads. Don't forget that there are enemies behind us. If we stop them, there will be another big battle. We have already suffered enough losses tonight. We need to look at the long term. Our enemies are not limited to Yunyin.

Just stop them and prevent them from joining the people behind. The most urgent task is to retake the defense line."

"Too."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then nodded one after another. They no longer worried about it and focused on dealing with the enemy in front of them.

After meeting up with Jiraiya, he immediately headed north to attack the defense line.

However, when they arrived, Yunyin had already retreated. It was probably the order that was delivered by Tutai who was taking a detour.

"It's a pity that we couldn't leave the earthen platform behind."

Jiraiya sighed, but did not blame Hui. After all, Hyuga Touhiko had more people, and they didn't stop Dodai. It can only be said that Dodai was decisive enough.

"But no matter what, we won this battle!"

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, then burst into laughter, and everyone else was also infected by his laughter and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Everyone, please work harder, intensify patrols, and consolidate defenses. We must not give Yunyin any chance to take advantage."

"Yes!"

After the small meeting, Hui immediately led his men to the rear camp and found Sima Yi.

"Uncle Yi, the second tail is in here."

Hui took out the scroll, patted the big gourd and said excitedly.

"Put it away first, and don't act alone in the next few days."

Sima Yi smiled and nodded, but did not accept it. This was not the place to study the tailed beasts, and he was not strong enough. This thing was so important that many people would probably have evil thoughts. They still had time to work.

"OK then"

Hui put it away with a strange expression, "We should deal with this as soon as possible. I feel that those people's eyes are not right."

Although sealing the Two-Tails brought him great prestige, he also noticed that some people were looking at him increasingly strangely.

If there weren't a lot of people around him and the Uchiha clan wasn't strong enough, I'm afraid someone would have been unable to hold back and wanted to take action.

Sima Yi nodded, "That's a problem. Let's find a chance to bring Shisui back to the village."

"That's good."

After the two finished talking about the tailed beasts, Hui told Sima Yi the details of the battle. The two chatted until very late before they took a rest.

It was not until the next morning that the two went to Jiraiya's camp to discuss matters.

Jiraiya's assistant summarized yesterday's results.

"In this battle, we killed more than 1,200 Kumogakure ninjas, captured more than 2,000, and seized countless supplies.

We also lost 830 people, 300 of them were seriously injured, and almost everyone was slightly injured. However, in this battle, we killed Troy, the commander of the Tianguo National Defense Line, and Yukito, the two-tailed Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, and successfully sealed the two-tailed."

hiss~
Everyone gasped. Despite having the advantage, they suffered such heavy casualties. They had to admit that Yunyin was becoming more powerful.

However, this thought only flashed through their minds as their attention was drawn to the second tail.

Although I had heard some news a long time ago, I was still very moved when I really learned this information.

Everyone's eyes kept falling on Uchiha Hui and Sima Yi.

The tailed beast fell into the hands of Uchiha.
Everyone quickly remembered the Nine-Tailed Fox, and their expressions changed for a moment.

Jiraiya didn't have any other ideas. He didn't believe that the Uchiha was the one who did it. At least it couldn't be done by Fugaku and his people.

Fugaku and Minato have a very good relationship, and if Naruto and Sasuke were of the opposite sex, they would be engaged.

The Uchiha's relationship with Konoha gradually eased because of the Fourth Hokage. They would be crazy to do such a thing.

However, the matter of the Two-Tails still needs to be discussed with Konoha.

"Tutai is running in a hurry. There are still many Kumogakure people in this area. Everyone should be cautious before sending out a team to capture them. These people are bargaining chips for negotiating with Kumogakure."

"Yes!"

Just as the war in the north ended, Konoha's internal struggle had reached a white-hot stage.
