Chapter 91 isn't over yet?

We need to think of a solution.

Uchiha Gen took a step back and put his finger to his mouth, about to bite through the skin, draw blood, and summon a summoning beast.

His strength has improved too quickly, and Bloodspot and Armored Crow's combat power is now somewhat unable to keep up. They can only hope that they can lead the snake swarm to hold off that female ninja for a while longer.

In war, things can change in an instant. As long as we can hold on, we will surely be able to wait for strong enough reinforcements.

Fortunately, he seems to have good luck.

"Heh heh, you little bastard, what are you doing here bullying young people? Yuan, this guy is yours now, you go back to what you're supposed to do."

A middle-aged Jonin with a bandage on his face and an iron pot and ladle on his back leaped to Uchiha Gen's side and grinned at Shiraishi.

"Maruboshi Kosuke————"

Upon seeing the visitor, Bai Shi spoke in a low voice, his expression solemn.

Although he was only a genin, as a perennial genin, Maruboshi Kosuke was quite famous in the jonin circle of the ninja world.

A powerful ninja with the strength of an elite Jonin, yet he willingly spent half his life as a Genin. Such a legendary experience is unique in the ninja world.

"Thank you so much, Kosuke-senpai!"

Gen Uchiha breathed a slight sigh of relief and said to Kosuke Maruboshi.

He was very confident in this person's abilities.

Having received instruction in ninjutsu from the Second and Third Hokage, Kosuke Maruboshi is a top-tier master of Water Release techniques and possesses exceptional Konoha-ryu swordsmanship. Furthermore, he is currently at the peak of his life, so unless powerful individuals approaching Kage level intervene, even if Kosuke Maruboshi cannot win, he is not likely to be defeated easily.

In just a few words, the flames of war reignited.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!"

The two used a water escape technique and a lightning escape technique immediately.

Gen Uchiha knew how powerful Maruboshi Kosuke's Water Release was, so he volunteered to be the latter's assistant.

The Water Dragon Bullet, which requires a total of forty-four seals, can be executed by Tobirama Senju with only three seals. While Kosuke Maruboshi's Water Release technique is not as terrifying, he has also simplified the seal-forming process to an extremely high degree. In just about a second, the Water Dragon Bullet roars out.

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

"Wind Release: Great Kamaitachi!"

Two elite Jonin, along with one Jonin and one Special Jonin, possess combat strength capable of altering the course of a localized battlefield.

The commotion wasn't as terrifying as that of Kage-level ninjas, capable of destroying mountains and rivers, but it was still quite frightening, almost clearing out a small area around it.

What truly influenced the course of this war, besides the combat power of these Jonin-level fighters, was the power struggle between several top-tier experts.

The number of ninjas in Sunagakure was already less than that in Konoha. In terms of high-end combat power, after suffering some casualties and drawing away the One-Tailed Beast, only Chiyo remained as a high-end combatant, and they could no longer hold on.

Everything seemed to be turning in Konoha's favor.

In order to prevent the main force from suffering excessive damage, Chiyo ordered a retreat of most of the troops, abandoning the position and leaving a portion of the troops to cover the rear before withdrawing from the area.

The loss of this important stronghold of Sunagakure in the Land of Rain means that more than half of the territory they occupied has been lost, and nearly a year or two of their efforts have been in vain.

"Is the battle over?"

Gen Uchiha calmly pulled out a kunai that had pierced through his armor and embedded itself in his shoulder. A green light flashed in his palm as he healed his wounds. "It should be over."

Maruboshi Kosuke looked at Uchiha Gen's other hand, which was pressed against his chest for treatment, and chuckled.

Their final battle ended with the death of a female Sand Village ninja and the injury of elite Jonin Shiraishi, who retreated with the main Sand Village force.

"I have a feeling that something is not right."

The latter looked up at the sky where the rain was pouring down, his eyes filled with a thoughtful expression.

He had a strange feeling in his heart, and most importantly, the campaign instance had not yet been settled!

Is this battle not over yet?

The Sand Village was utterly defeated, and it will take a long time for them to regroup. They are no longer a threat. Therefore, the only villages in the Land of Rain that can still threaten them are the Iwagakure and Amegakure.

Logically speaking, they are still in a standoff.

Even if they discover that Konoha and Sunagakure have engaged in a large-scale battle and end the standoff, and rush here immediately, it probably won't be able to arrive so quickly.

unless----

This standoff was a sham from the start.

But how could it be fake? How could Iwagakure and Amegakure possibly set aside their prejudices and put on this show together?

"Senior Kosuke, let's go find Orochimaru-sensei and the others. The battle might not be over yet, and we must regroup our team."

Uchiha Gen said to Maruboshi Kosuke.

His individual contribution might not be enough; it would be best to bring Maruboshi Kosuke along.

"it is good."

Maruhoshi Kosuke didn't ask any further questions, but simply nodded in response.

He trusted his teammates' judgment.

A few minutes later.

The two walked through the battlefield, which was still filled with the smoke of gunpowder and was being cleaned up, and found Orochimaru and his group.

After a fierce battle, several of Konoha's top fighters sustained injuries of varying degrees.

Orochimaru and Tsunade are alright; one is well-rounded and good at self-preservation, while the other is simply a healer who can restore health.

As for the team that dealt with the Tailed Beasts, Jiraiya was mostly unharmed, but Mitokado Homura seemed to have suffered a serious injury and was receiving treatment from Tsunade.

When Uchiha Gen and Maruboshi Kosuke arrived and shared their conjectures, it was Mitokado Homura who was the first to express his doubts.

"The villages of Amegakure and Iwagakure will be locked in a standoff at this time, and there's even a possibility of a major war breaking out. This is top-secret intelligence sent by Root's ace spy, so there's virtually no chance of it being wrong. They're currently tied down; how could they possibly have a chance to launch an attack?"

Mitokado Yan shook his head, thinking that young people were still too young and liked to worry about things unnecessarily.

"Standoff—espionage—delay, which means they might not actually make a move, so—"

Orochimaru stroked his chin, his eyes thoughtful.

"What Yuan said makes sense, Elder Yan, let's hurry."

"Orochimaru, you too—well then."

Mitokado Homura hesitated for a few seconds, but then chose to believe Orochimaru.

After Orochimaru arrived at the battlefield in the Land of Rain, his command and vision were proven by the facts.

The Konoha ninjas on the battlefield were confused, but obeying orders was a ninja's duty. They all stopped cleaning up the battlefield and counting their achievements, and instead reorganized their ranks and restored their chakra.

Before the team could rest for long, a Hyuga clan Jonin wearing a vest rushed over.

"Lord Yan! The reconnaissance team has spotted Yu Yin's trail, less than ten kilometers from here!"

Mitokado Homura suddenly looked up and glanced at Uchiha Gen in surprise.
