I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

"Remember, securing logistical supplies is the top priority. Avoid the Rain Ninja if possible, and try not to get too entangled with them. According to that idiot Obito, there are also skilled fighters among the Rain Ninja, and Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, is also there," Onoki quickly instructed Deidara.

With the latter nodding repeatedly, the other preparations were quickly completed.

"Old man, I'm leaving."

After Deidara, who had sculpted several giant birds from clay, led an elite squad onto the platform, he waved goodbye.

Watching the team on which high hopes were placed fly away, Onoki took a deep breath and then led the others to the front line.

Konoha's offensive was fierce, and just in case, these people had to join in themselves.

distance.

While the Konoha and Iwa ninja armies were engaged in fierce battles, Yun Ting and Uchiha Madara simply watched quietly, showing no intention of intervening.

As far as Yun Ting was concerned, the overall battle situation was clearly tilting in Konoha's favor. Coupled with the various favorable reports from other battlefields, he was not worried about any mistakes and was naturally in no hurry.

Madara Uchiha, on the other hand, was more driven by his pride.

Although the two remained locked in a standoff, intelligence from the battlefield and even the entire ninja world was being transmitted to them through various means.

Having fought for most of his life, the experienced Ban naturally knew that the current situation was very unfavorable to his "allies".

Although I also want to do something.

However, since it was agreed not to interfere, and Thousand Hands Cloud Court did not break this rule, the extremely arrogant Madara would not be the first to break it.

Wouldn't that make him seem like he's going back on his word and contradicting himself?

Compared to useless tools, and unwilling to be outmatched or lose face in front of Senju Undeni, Madara ultimately chose to stand by and watch.

Of course, he wasn't preparing his trump card either.

For example, the army of White Zetsu being created under the Gedo Mazo.

Furthermore, Obito had already been notified to secretly investigate the Iwagakure intelligence department and gather information about the Jinchuriki of each village.

So that they can react if their "allies" fail completely.

As for Yun Ting, although he didn't know what Ban was thinking, putting himself in Ban's shoes, he knew that was all the other party could do.

He didn't seem to care much, but instead teased with great interest, "It seems that Konoha will still be the ultimate victor in this Ninja World War!"

"Hmph! It's only been a short time, Senju kid, you're jumping to conclusions too soon!" No matter what he thought, Madara still didn't back down.

Upon seeing this, Yun Ting chuckled.

It has to be said that the enemies in the Naruto world can sometimes feel quite good.

The stronger a person is, the more dignified they are.

Just like the spots under your eyes.

I've agreed to stand by and watch, and I'll never go back on my word unless I'm forced into a corner.

Unlike some incredibly powerful people in other worlds who lie as easily as playing house, are despicable and shameless, and act without any scruples or moral compass, lacking any semblance of a strong person.

If Yun Ting were to encounter such an enemy, even if he were stronger than the opponent, he would still find it very troublesome to deal with them.

So, idealists are still the best!

Regardless of the process and means by which they achieve their ideals, the goal remains, and they will not back down in the slightest.

This gives you, as the enemy, a perfect opportunity to make your move.

Coincidentally, the Naruto world is full of such idealists.

Even enemies talk about peace all the time.

In this way, Yun Ting could be confident that no matter how turbulent things became, everything would remain within his control.

At this moment, Ban noticed the inexplicable smile on Yun Ting's face and was somewhat puzzled.

Just as he was about to ask, the former had already calmed down, and he was too lazy to think about it anymore, so he turned his attention back to the front line.

Seeing that the Iwa ninja army was no longer as resilient as before under the Konoha offensive, he pondered whether he should send the White Zetsu army to deal with the Amegakure.

But upon further reflection, he shook his head inwardly.

Not to mention that the White Zetsu army is quite a distance from the Land of Earth, which would take a considerable amount of time.

Furthermore, given the limited number of White Zetsu currently being created and their generally mediocre strength, it's highly likely that they won't be a match for the Rain Village under Jiraiya and Konan's leadership. If this also exposes one of his trump cards, things could get very bad.

In the end, Madara chose to remain aloof and observe.

Now, all we can do is hope that the Iwa ninja can save themselves.

Chapter 284 The Final Period

Bang~ Bang~

A series of explosions echoed across the sky.

Deidara, chewing clay in his palms again and rapidly spitting out one small bird after another, threw the bomb in his hand at Konan, who was chasing after him, just like before.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Nan flapped her enormous wings, which were covered in paper scraps.

One after another, seemingly thin but incredibly sharp pieces of paper shot out rapidly.

Some cut the clay birds in half, while others simply transformed them into explosive tags, detonating them with the birds.

In the end, Deidara's attempts to stop her were in vain, and Konan continued to chase after them at an undiminished speed.

"Cut~~"

Seeing this, Deidara snorted unhappily, and riding the C2 dragon beneath his feet, carrying a group of Iwa ninja and many scrolls sealing logistical supplies, he sped towards the Land of Grass.

He had faced off like this many times before.

Three days.

The Iwa ninja are making great efforts to save themselves.

On the Grass Country side, Onoki gritted his teeth and, disregarding the increasingly dire situation at the front, sent another batch of new reinforcements to Deidara's group, who were in charge of logistics.

Along the coast of the Land of Earth, because the former Cloud Ninja were still fighting and entangled with the Leaf Ninja even more desperately than the Leaf Ninja, the Iwa Ninja troops sent there, though well-intentioned, could only manage to send back no more than a hundred reinforcements.

Despite this combination, they still couldn't break through the barrier of the four thousand Rain Ninjas.

Even though some grain transport troops bypassed the original logistics line and chose a longer route, they were still hindered by Jiraiya's men, who had been studying the Land of Earth map and had already planned everything in his mind.

In the end, with many methods failing, the Iwagakure faction had no choice but to have Deidara airlift the sealing scroll.

However, the latter has limited chakra, and with Konan, who also has the ability to fly, blocking his way, his supplies are intercepted from time to time.

In this way, the supplies Deidara transported were only a drop in the bucket for the Iwagakure army of the Land of Grass, whose resources were dwindling.

Even so, this is the most effective way to keep alive.

At this moment, Deirada, who was aware of the difficult situation of the Iwa ninja and the importance of the sealing scrolls in his hands, glanced at his old rival who was constantly approaching from behind, cursed "Damn it" again, and could only choose to do what he always did.

In a very short time, he conjured more than a dozen birds capable of carrying people, then tossed them aside, and the birds quickly grew larger.

"The same old way, let everyone accept their fate," Deidara said to the Iwa ninja who were following him.

"Yes!"

No one objected.

All the Iwa ninja swiftly and skillfully grabbed the sealing scrolls they could carry to their limit, then each jumped onto the back of a flying bird, and scattered, flying away in different directions at high speed.

Finally, Deidara, who stood alone on the dragon's back and possessed slightly more scrolls than the others, looked behind him, hoping that Konan would come to find him.

Unfortunately, after glancing at the sealing scroll carried by Deidara, Konan, adhering to the principle of maximizing results, spread her wings and chased after a nearby Iwa ninja.

Seeing this, Deidara could only shake his head and hurry away.

This is the method that Iwagakure currently uses to maximize efficiency.

By using a small amount of bait to buy Konan time, the remaining people were able to successfully deliver the supplies to the Iwa ninja army.

Deidara wasn't against taking down Konan first.

However, the latter's strength was no less than their own, and the other party had been harassing them from a distance, trying to buy them time.

This was undoubtedly fatal for the Iwa ninja army anxiously awaiting supplies at the front.

Deidara couldn't drag the opponent along, nor could he defeat him, so he had no choice but to resort to the method of a gecko cutting off its tail.

He himself didn't even dare to carry too many scrolls.

It wasn't that I was afraid of Xiao Nan, but I was worried that we would be held back by the enemy and that supplies wouldn't be delivered to the front lines in time.

Finally, after suffering a third of their casualties, Deidara and his group returned to the Iwa ninja camp in the Land of Grass.

As soon as they landed, they saw some Iwa ninjas, who looked much more disheveled than before, rushing to collect the sealing scrolls and quickly taking stock of the supplies.

Deidara ignored what was happening here and went to the main tent to report the latest situation in the country to his teacher.

Along the way, seeing the Iwa ninjas far fewer in number than before, no longer as spirited as they once were, and hearing the increasingly tragic cries of the wounded soldiers, Deidara, who had always been carefree but had suddenly matured considerably after experiencing the fierce battles of the past few days, sighed slightly and quickened his pace.

When he got to the old man's place, the first thing he smelled was the familiar smell of blood.

"Are you alright, old man?"

Seeing his teacher lying on the bed receiving medical ninja treatment for his lower back, Deidara asked with concern.

Upon hearing this, Onoki, who looked much older than before, quickly looked up, his face lighting up with joy. "Deidara, you're back! It's just an old ailment, nothing serious. How much of the supplies were delivered this time?"

Although he knew that his teacher's injuries were not "not a big deal," Deidara, who had become much more sensible, didn't say anything more and instead reported to Onoki the amount of supplies that had been delivered.

"It's still far from enough!" Onoki said with a bitter smile after hearing this.

Seeing this, Deidara thought for a moment and then continued to tell another fact: "In addition... the Iwa ninja army along the coast of the Land of Earth reported that due to the strong resistance of the Konoha troops, they suffered heavy losses. Even if we can defeat them, the remaining forces probably won't be able to deal with the Amegakure ninja."

Silence reigned inside the tent.

After a short while, Onoki sighed deeply: "I understand."

Then, he quickly regained his composure and said, "The Iwa ninja aren't without backup plans either. I've already contacted the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, and now three thousand Sunagakure ninja are rushing to the Land of Earth with all their might. Two days! As long as we can hold out for two days! The Amegakure ninja will be defeated by the arriving Sunagakure ninja, and our supply lines will be restored."

"Two days?" Deidara murmured.

This is indeed good news.

However, considering that thousands of new Konoha ninjas from the Mist Ninja battlefield and the Land of Iron battlefield have joined the army in the past few days, their strength has surpassed that of the Iwa Ninja by a considerable margin, and they also have ample logistical support, the Konoha army, full of high morale, has been launching a relentless offensive day and night.
