This puppeteer is a bit... well...

Chapter 19 Post-War Chase

But how is that possible?

Long Er had only been here for a few minutes and didn't even know who the enemy commander was.

How could anyone possibly understand the other person's psychology?

Isn't that nonsense?

Looking at the boy surrounded by the crowd, Ye Cang felt even more incredulous.

They're all the same age, so why is he so outstanding?

Although she had long since gotten used to it.

……

Luo Sha flew over from the opposite mountain peak on a golden cloud.

He first gave the fawning Ryuji a complicated look, then coughed twice, interrupting the celebration.

"Although the war is over, our mission is not over yet."

The crowd stopped cheering and turned to look at Luo Sha.

"There are still remnants of the enemy who have infiltrated the village..."

Before he could finish speaking, a large cloud of iron sand rose from the village, obscuring the sky like a dark cloud.

Seeing everyone turn to look at him, Rasa opened his mouth and said, "Alright, it seems that the Third Kazekage has woken up safely and cleaned up the mess in the village, but our work is not over yet."

"Cleaning up corpses?"

A Chunin asked from the crowd.

"The genin only need to stay and clean up the corpses. Make sure to finish them off first, then retrieve them."

"So what are we going to do?"

"Pursue the enemy."

"Are you kidding me?" Yekura pushed through the crowd to stand in front of Rasa, questioning, "We only have less than eight hundred people, including the newly graduated genin. How are we going to chase down tens of thousands of enemies?"

The others didn't say anything, but they all looked at Luo Sha with the same eyes that looked at someone with cerebral palsy, which made him very unhappy.

but.

The feeling of being the only one who came up with this idea among so many people was incredibly satisfying.

"Have the people who went out on missions returned?"

At that moment, someone in the crowd asked a question.

Luo Sha, who was immersed in the intellectual suppression, suddenly felt a jolt in her heart and looked sharply at the person who asked the question.

It was that handsome young man with short, reddish-brown hair, wearing strange armor—Ryuji Ayaki.

Did this guy even think of that?

"Not yet, not a single one."

The ninjas on guard duty all gave the same answer.

"Then there's no problem. Everyone, get ready and go after the enemy!"

"Wait, what does this mean?"

Seeing Ye Cang still pressing him for answers, Ryuji sighed softly, "Your brains must have all grown out of your chest!"

"Ryuji!"

"No, no, no, stop fooling around! This is wartime, a critical moment where every second counts! Stop fooling around!"

After finally calming down Yekura, who was about to beat him up, Ryuji breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he explained, "The order to terminate the mission was issued yesterday evening. At the speed of the Ninja Hawk, it can fly all over the Land of Wind in five hours."

Normally, many of our companions should have returned by the early hours of the morning.

After all, everyone knows how dangerous it is to have weak internal defenses and a poorly guarded border; no one would be tempted by temporary comfort and wait until dawn to continue their journey.

"But none of them have come back yet."

"Yes, none of them have come back. Why?" Ryuji looked around, hoping someone could figure it out.

"They've been killed by the enemy!" Ye Cang guessed, then instantly became convinced, filled with grief and indignation. "Damn it, we can't let those bastards get away with this so easily."

"Oh, did the sesame balls also fall victim to this?"

"My child also participated in this search and rescue mission!"

"Damn Iwagakure, Kumogakure, Amegakure, and Kusagakure! I will never let you get away with this!"

Seeing the indignant and grief-stricken Sand Village ninjas, Ryuji was speechless.

Could it be that the decline of Sunagakure was simply due to the stupidity of the Sunagakure ninja?

However, Long Er looked around and found that quite a few people were still deep in thought and seemed to have just realized something.

Clearly, they had figured out the real reason.

"Stop messing around!" Luo Sha couldn't help but yell, silencing the crowd. "Use your pig brains! The enemy is so large, and we're in a flat desert where we can see them from thousands of meters away. Even a pig wouldn't run headlong into them!"

"The village only had one road, but it was blocked by the attacking enemy."

Those who come back can't get in at all.

Their best option is to gather their forces outside and then attack from behind.

"But the enemy has already retreated, and no one has returned!"

"Idiot, they went to hunt down the enemy."

Yekura couldn't help but glare at the person who asked the question, then looked up at the sky. The sun had fully risen. "At this time, not many people will be returning, but the desert is our home ground. It's time to show the guys from other ninja villages the essence of desert warfare."

"Ooh ooh ooh!!!"

The Sand Village ninjas were in high spirits, shouting and yelling.

Ryuji sighed and said to Yecang, "I won't be going in this chase. Keep an eye out for special ninjas and make sure their bodies are well preserved."

"Hey, aren't you going?"

"This kind of war that is sure to be won is meaningless; I have more important things to do."

The desert environment is harsh and contains many dead zones.

Even people who live in the desert year-round cannot guarantee a 100% safe return from every trip, let alone outsiders.

Perhaps some of them understand the desert, but they certainly don't understand it better than those who live in the desert.

As long as we harass and disrupt them along the way, and then deliberately guide them.

Given the unique environment and weather in the desert, it would be a miracle if half of this coalition force managed to escape.

If they encounter a large sandstorm... they will all die.

This is why everyone got excited when Yekura suggested showing other ninja villages how to fight in the desert.

This was simply a one-sided massacre.

……

"I'm very sorry, the Magnet Release ninja escaped." Gin stood in front of me with a look of self-reproach.

Ryuji was surprised. "That guy managed to escape from you?"

Magnet Release ninja Troy... Although he's very famous, he's actually just so-so.

As long as you know the effects of his ninjutsu, don't touch his weapons, and don't get magnetized, you'll be fine.

Even if his body were given magnetism, given Yin's strength, he could easily shatter the attacks that followed.

"I was so focused on dodging the giant shuriken he threw that I ignored the surrounding buildings..."

At that moment, Silver pursued relentlessly, and at a bend in the road, Troy launched a surprise attack.

Of course, the attack was ineffective.

Silver jumped onto a water tank to the side to avoid it.

But this was Troy's scheme.

The water tank had been touched by Troy, giving it a negative magnetic pole.

After the silver jumped on, it was given positive magnetism.

The two were attracted together.

Although Yin quickly smashed the water tank, he gave chase.

However, Troy took the opportunity to use the surrounding steel structures to give them a negative magnetic field, making it impossible for Silver to move and allowing him to escape.

I'm busy with signing contracts.

It was supposed to arrive on the 24th, but I don't know if there was a problem with the courier or the editor, but I still haven't found it.

We are currently communicating with the editor to resolve this issue.

So today's update is late.

Finally, why would someone selling pirated movies come to my book review section to say "GG"?

Are all the readers of my book perverts?
