"If I were the loess soil, I would withdraw my troops. Unless…"

Hizashi Hyuga: "Unless what?"

Nara Shikaku: "Unless Ōnoki comes in person."

Hyuga Hizashi's eyes sharpened.

Onoki.

Since Hanzo the Salamander, the opponent has been the pinnacle of the ninja world.

Hyuga Hizashi thought for a moment and said, "He already made a move during the Third Shinobi World War."

Will he come again this time? The old man wouldn't be so shameless, would he?

Nara Shikaku glanced at him: "What do you think?"

When Hyuga Hizashi's expression darkened slightly, he added, "However, overall, I am still optimistic about the changing situation."

Hyuga Hizashi: "What do you mean?"

Nara Shikaku: "The Jonin of the Nebula is not what he used to be."

"Even if Onoki makes another move, it's unlikely he can take it down in a short time."

“Iwagakure also needs to consider the impact of the war escalating further, and the village cannot sit idly by while Onoki targets their own young genius.”

"Therefore, according to my prediction, there is a 40% chance that Iwagakure will retreat and negotiate peace, and a 60% chance that Onoki will negotiate peace after failing to achieve his goal in one attempt."

Hyuga Hizashi thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I'll write a letter to the village."

"Since you have such a guess, I will send a letter to the Hokage so that he can make preparations as soon as possible."

Nara Shikaku frowned: "This is just my guess. Besides, you're not the commander-in-chief now, so sending a letter..."

“It’s alright.” Hyuga Hizashi said seriously, “We must ensure Nebula’s safety as much as possible; we don’t need to worry about anything else.”

Nara Shikaku thought for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you to send the letter."

……

Hyuga Hizashi and Nara Shikaku wrote letters to Sarutobi Hiruzen overnight, while Yakushi Nonou accumulated mission points overnight. On the other hand, the atmosphere in Iwagakure was freezing cold.

They worked until the early hours of the morning, handling the bodies and treating the wounded.

Even after midnight, the wounded continued to cry out in pain and scream, terrifying all who heard it. They were worried that the Konoha ninjas would attack them even when they were trying to sleep. The patrolling ninjas dared not be careless at all, keeping their eyes wide open and not daring to fall asleep for a moment.

The defeat in battle caused them heavy losses, but what truly demoralized them was that their commander-in-chief was no match for the enemy commander-in-chief.

A heavy atmosphere hung over everyone's hearts, and even after the sun shone brightly at dawn, it did not ease.

Just then, a sharp sound appeared in the sky!

The Iwagakure ninja, who were feeling down, suddenly tensed up. They looked up and saw a black, unidentified object with a trail of flame flying towards the center of the Iwagakure camp.

"stop!!"

"Be careful!!"

Exclamations rang out, and a Jonin from Iwagakure quickly took action. After forming hand seals, basketball-sized clods of earth shot towards the unidentified object in the sky. The object was not fast and was hit by the clods of earth and fell down in a moment.

"Bang!" The object hit the ground with a muffled thud. The ninjas were surrounding the area, observing whether there was any danger, when a surge of chakra suddenly emanated.

Then came loud human voices.

"Cough cough~!~"

"Dou, a student from Class 1, Grade 2."

"Your mother, Nono, has prepared your favorite salt-grilled fish. Please head to the camp canteen as soon as possible."

"Kabuto from Class 2-1..."

Chapter 384 Onoki launches another sneak attack

"Lord Loess, something terrible has happened!!"

"Lord Loess!~"

A ninja rushed to the Iwagakure command post in a panic.

In the main seat, Huang Tu, covered in bandages, reprimanded someone with a grim expression.

"What are you shouting for!"

"I'm perfectly fine!"

The ninja who delivered the message was startled, only then realizing that his behavior had displeased his superior.

Seeing his flustered expression, Huang Tu snorted coldly and said, "What news? Speak."

The ninja then said urgently, "Lord Huangtu, someone from Konoha threw in a scroll."

"A scroll?" Huang Tu frowned slightly. "What scroll?"

“A loudspeaker scroll,” the ninja replied. “It’s been playing ‘Kabuto from Class 2-1…’ on repeat, and it’s really loud.”

"I'm worried that the Konoha ninjas might be plotting something, so I dare not delay."

Huang Tu was puzzled. Ignoring his injuries, he stood up and said, "Take me to see him."

Before long, Huang Tu and his group arrived at the place where the scroll had fallen.

The ninja who delivered the message was right; the sound was indeed very loud. Upon approaching, the enormous sound waves made one's ears itch.

"Kabuto, Class 2-1, your mother..." Listening to the loud noises coming from the scroll, Huang Tu frowned and observed, but still couldn't figure out what kind of conspiracy Konoha was behind this.

At this moment, a Jonin who was proficient in scrolls next to Huang Tu covered his ears and bent down to examine it. After a moment, he stood up and said, "It's just an ordinary scroll."

"When the sealed chakra is exhausted, the sound disappears."

Huangtu: "Are you sure?"

The Jonin nodded: "Confirmed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Tu stepped forward, raised his huge foot, and stomped the scroll and the ground together to pieces with a 'bang'!

The noise in my ears is finally gone.

With a soft snort, Huang Tu's expression finally softened. He led his men back to the command post and sat down to ponder the next strategy.

"Lord Huangtu," the ninja beside him asked, "Shouldn't we leave that scroll behind?"

"Don't worry." Huang Tu waved his hand.

"Just have the patrolling ninjas be on high alert."

"The most urgent task now is to figure out how to solve Konoha's problems."

"You all speak up."

After a moment of silence, a Jonin spoke up: "What's the village's opinion?"

"What did Lord Ōnoki say?"

Huang Tu: "Father has not replied yet."

He looked around and said unhappily, "What? You can't deal with the guys from Konoha without Father's reply?"

A ninja said, "Lord Huangtu, Konoha is currently riding high."

"Especially that Leaf Demon Star, he's quite troublesome to deal with. We're worried that if we act rashly, the situation might get even worse."

Huang Tu: "What's there to be afraid of?"

"Everyone has weaknesses."

"Although Shenyue Xingyun is powerful, he may not be invincible."

The subordinates exchanged glances.

They knew that Huang Tu was seething with anger, and for him to admit that he was no match for him would be a loss of face.

Therefore, we can only offer a gentle reminder.

"Lord Huangtu, what can we do about that technique that causes people to lose their sight?"

"While Jonin can dodge, Chunin and Genin below them cannot. Once they are hit by the technique, there will inevitably be more casualties."

Huang Tu raised his head slightly: "I had already considered this point."

"This technique is indeed troublesome, but it's not unmanageable."

"I've analyzed it, and this ninjutsu that temporarily deprives people of their sight was used before we engaged in close combat with the Konoha ninjas."

"This is the characteristic of large-scale group ninjutsu—its direction is limited."

"He can only cast spells on a specific area or in one direction."

"If we disperse our forces and infiltrate Konoha's camp before he casts his spell, we won't have to worry about it."

The others thought about it and realized that it was indeed a good idea.

But there's still one crucial problem left—what if you can't defeat Shenyue Nebula?

Huang Tu wasn't stupid; he naturally knew what his subordinates were thinking, their eyes darting around.

He said coldly, "Don't worry, I won't lose if we do it again!"

"Let's press on with all our might and launch a full-scale attack! Let's strive for victory in one fell swoop!"

"Idiot!" A sudden shout came from outside the door.

Whether it was Huang Tu or any of the other Jonin, everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard that rebuking voice.

Immediately afterwards, all the ninjas' faces became extremely respectful. They looked at the figure slowly walking in through the door and quickly stood up.

"Lord Onoki!" *N.

“Father.” Huang Tu looked embarrassed. He had been scolded, but he didn’t dare to talk back. He got up with his body covered in bandages.

Onoki gave him a cold look, his gaze lingering on the bandages for a moment before he sneered, "Useless thing, sit down first."

Huang Tu obediently sat down.

"Father, why are you here?"
