Hiruzen Sarutobi had an even bigger headache. "What about Orochimaru?"
"I believe that with Lord Orochimaru's wisdom, when he realizes that the Land of Wind is not bluffing, he will lead his troops to provide support."
boom!
The desk in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi trembled violently.
"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was in a terrible mood. Although he had guessed the process correctly, the result was far beyond his expectations.
The three-way attack unfolded too quickly, and the collapse of Shimura Danzo's forces and Tsunade's forces was also quite astonishing!
At this rate of collapse, it's likely that the ninja forces from all three sides will be able to penetrate deep into the Land of Fire in less than a day.
If that's really the case...
I can’t imagine the consequences!
After venting his frustrations, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly calmed down and came up with an effective coping strategy.
Rather than splitting up into two groups, it would be better to join forces and defeat Kirigakure first!
As for the combined forces of Feng and Tu, all we need to do is send people to slow their advance as much as possible.
Once the main force of Konoha has dealt with Kirigakure, they can turn around and deal with the combined forces of Kaze and Tsuchiya.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's idea was exactly the same as the idea of the three Kage during their previous meeting.
It's a tacit understanding...
"I command!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned solemn. "Orochimaru's forces will all go to reinforce Tsunade's forces. After the two forces are combined, Orochimaru will take over as commander."
"Minato Namikaze's original rest and recuperation plan has been brought forward, shortened from the original one month to ten days. After the rest and recuperation, they will immediately go to the southeastern border to provide support."
"Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, and Akira Hatake should immediately go to support Danzo Shimura's forces. Don't expect them to achieve great results; just tell them to do everything in their power to slow down the advance of the Kaze and Tsuchiya forces!"
"As for Kakashi Hatake, send him to the southeastern border battlefield to assist Orochimaru in defeating the main force of Kirigakure ninjas as quickly as possible!"
A series of orders were issued, and the Konoha civilian ninjas nearby wrote them down word for word.
"Lord Hokage, is there anything else?" The clerical ninja put down his pen and asked as if checking for any omissions.
"Add one more sentence."
Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment, hesitated for a second, then gritted his teeth and said, "If Danzo Shimura's forces cannot stop the advance of the forces from the Wind and Earth Kingdoms, then I will consider sending Kushina Uzumaki to the battlefield!"
"That's all the orders. Go."
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
After the administrative ninja left to carry out his orders, Hiruzen Sarutobi abruptly sat back in the Hokage chair, lighting his pipe as he did so.
To be honest, Kushina Uzumaki really didn't want to be sent to the battlefield.
However, since the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War, it has basically reached the middle and late stages, which is also the bloodiest stage of the war.
It is foreseeable that once the armies of the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth unite, the two Jinchūriki of the Land of Earth will definitely be sent to the battlefield.
Although Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake are very strong, together they can easily manipulate Jinchuriki who have fully transformed into Tailed Beasts.
But this time, Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake are facing not just one Jinchuriki, but two!
Even with Jiraiya and Danzo Shimura providing support, the Kazekage Rasa and the Tsuchikage Onoki were no pushovers!
Leaving aside these top-tier combatants, once the armies of Kaze and Tsuchi are combined, the Jonin combat power within their forces will completely overwhelm the Konoha side.
Even if the Kazekage Rasa and the Tsuchikage Onoki don't participate, the numerous Jonin from the Kaze and Tsuchikage kingdoms will be able to hold off Jiraiya and Shimura Danzo.
Then everything that follows is already predictable.
Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake, this master and apprentice pair, are no longer only facing two Jinchuriki from Iwagakure, but also the Kazekage Rasa and the Tsuchikage Onoki!
No matter how confident Hiruzen Sarutobi was in the two of them, he didn't believe that they could win a two-on-four fight.
Therefore, sending Kushina Uzumaki to the battlefield became inevitable.
However, doing so might provoke Minato Namikaze's displeasure.
However, at this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't care less about anything else.
……
At the same time, Tsuchishiro led the Cloud Ninja front-line troops back to Kumogakure.
Pfft!
Looking at the smoke-filled Hidden Cloud Village before him, Tsuchishiro's knees buckled and he suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Ah! Ah! Ah...!"
The heart-wrenching cries echoed through the sky, and the Cloud Village frontline troops following behind were instantly struck as if by lightning.
"How could...how could this have happened..."
"Father and Mother... I hope they're alright!"
"No, I have to go back and check!"
"my wife……"
"my child……"
The cacophony continued incessantly, and the once-neat formation of the Cloud Village frontline troops instantly crumbled.
The group of Cloud Ninja broke away from the group and rushed into the Hidden Cloud Village without regard for anything else.
"Lord Tsuchishiro...please accept my condolences!"
The frontline troops of Kumogakure are now practically defunct, and everyone is in a panic, including Tsuchishiro.
"Thank you."
Tsuchishiro stood up unsteadily, but his gaze lingered on the spot where the Raikage Building had once stood.
Pointing to the vast empty space ahead, Tsuchishiro's lips trembled slightly, his voice hoarse and strained, "Where's the Raikage Building...where's the Raikage Building!"
"It's all gone...everything is gone!"
At that moment, a Cloud Ninja who had stayed behind in Kumogakure came to Tsuchishi's side, his voice mournful, "Lord Tsuchishi, we have nothing left... nothing left! Waaaaah..."
The Cloud Ninja knelt before Tsuchishiro, unable to contain his grief any longer, and wept bitterly, covering his face.
"Yes! We're still here in Kumogakure!"
With red eyes, Tsuchishiro pulled the weeping Cloud Ninja to his feet. "Please believe me, I will lead the Hidden Cloud Village back up from its lowest point! I will!"
"And now is not the time for grief; rebuilding the village is the top priority!"
Tsuchishiro quickly regained his composure and resolutely shouldered the responsibility. "Assemble! Everyone assemble!"
He shouted at the top of his lungs, and many Cloud Ninja responded, slowly gathering around Tsuchishiro.
His gaze swept over the group of Cloud Ninja, and Tsuchishiro saw numbness and despair on their faces; the sharpness that once shone in their eyes was gone.
All that remained was deathly silence and ruin...
Rebuilding Kumogakure is a huge and long-term project.
Tsuchishiro couldn't help but look towards the Land of Fire, wondering if he should go and negotiate...
Chapter 193 Kakashi, who resembles a ninja from the Warring States period.
Minato Namikaze placed great importance on the "divination and divination" mentioned by Akira Hatake.
After Akira Hatake left, Minato Namikaze immediately contacted Orochimaru, Danzo Shimura, and Tsunade.
However, the transmission of information was delayed, so Minato Namikaze did not receive a reply immediately.
Although no reply was received from the three, an urgent order from the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, reached Minato Namikaze first.
"They really are... never quiet!"
Minato Namikaze looked at the order in his hand, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
Minato Namikaze hadn't expected the alliance between the Wind and Earth kingdoms, and he certainly hadn't anticipated that Hanzo the Salamander would compromise.
Hanzo the Salamander is known as a demigod of the ninja world!
However, aside from these, Minato Namikaze was more concerned about Hiruzen Sarutobi's order to send Kushina Uzumaki to the battlefield.
To be honest, Minato Namikaze felt uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do about it.
War always results in death, and with the war progressing to this point, anyone could be sent to the battlefield.
Minato Namikaze cannot change this.
"Someone is coming."
Minato Namikaze put down the documents in his hand and gently called out towards the door.
"Minato-sama."
Soon, the civilian ninja lifted the tent flap and walked in, standing respectfully to Minato Namikaze's side.
"Go and summon Akira Hatake, Kakashi Hatake, and the captains of each team."
"Yes, Lord Minato."
The civilian ninja accepted the order and left. Soon after, he gathered all the aforementioned personnel and led them into Minato Namikaze's command tent.
"Everyone's here?" Minato Namikaze pointed to the empty seats in the tent. "Find a seat, everyone."
Seeing this scene, Akira Hatake knew that what Minato Namikaze was about to announce was definitely very important, otherwise he wouldn't have summoned so many people to a meeting.
Sure enough, as soon as Akira Hatake and the others sat down, Minato Namikaze picked up a document.
"This is the latest order given to us by the Hokage."
"The content is very simple: the original rest period for everyone has been shortened from one month to ten days."
"As for the reason, it is because the lands of wind and earth have joined forces, crossed the natural barrier of the land of rain, and have broken through the defenses of Danzo Shimura's forces. Their troops have already reached our territory."
"Furthermore, the Land of Water must have reached an agreement with the Lands of Wind and Earth, and they actually gathered their troops at the same time to launch a surprise attack on Tsunade's forces."
"As expected, Tsunade's forces also suffered repeated defeats, and the army of the Land of Water has invaded our territory."
