Why, the Kazekage who was supposed to be in the village, died just like that.

Why, Imu and Junyue, who were originally captured alive by Konoha, now appear in the Sand Village camp in good condition?

Is there really no connection between the two?

"call……"

Chiyo closed her eyes in despair, and slowly exhaled. After opening her eyes again, the despair in her eyes had disappeared.

"June."

Chiyo slowly called out to June, saying that no matter what, she was now the commander-in-chief on the battlefield.

Anyone can feel panic, despair, and doubt.

Only I can't do it.

Even if... I am the party involved.

"Ah."

June nodded when she heard that. Some sand began to gather under Chiyo's feet, and Chiyo's figure began to slowly rise.

"Lord Fengying came to the battlefield to support us only after receiving my letter."

Standing on a high platform made entirely of sand, Chiyo looked around and spoke slowly.

"It's clear that we lost, and suffered heavy losses."

There was a slight pause in her voice, and Chiyo looked at the Sand Village ninjas in front of her and spoke slowly.

"But this has nothing to do with you gentlemen. You are all the best ninjas in the ninja world. The one who is wrong is me, the commander."

In the current situation, there is no time for Chiyo to think or weigh the pros and cons, and no one can help Chiyo.

Therefore, Chiyo needs to make the most appropriate choice in a very short time.

Regardless, the Kazekage is dead, and the Jinchūriki is also dead.

Yimu and Liuyue have returned alive.

So no matter what, Chiyo must protect her son and daughter-in-law.

This was not only to protect his grandson's parents, but also to save two jonin for Sunagakure.

In short, don't let the losses continue to expand...

“I know that some people will doubt me, wondering if I betrayed Ying and the village in order to save Yimu and Liuyue’s lives.

Don't worry, everyone. When I return to the village, I will tell Advisor Yayoi everything that happened on the battlefield, and Advisor Yayoi will deal with me, Yimu, and June."

This is a responsibility that cannot be shirked, so just take it up openly.

"Before that, I have to give you one last order. Retreat, return to the village, and regroup your strength so that you can take revenge on Konoha in the future!"

"Why?! Why should we retreat?!"

Almost as soon as Chiyo finished speaking, a voice appeared.

And as soon as these words came out, the Sand Villagers in the audience immediately echoed them.

The Kazekage is dead, and the Jinchūriki is also dead.

Konoha has already thrown the dignity of Sunagakure to the ground and trampled it.

If this happened, Sand Village would just retreat without doing anything.

What would Iwagakure think of Sandagakure?

How do Kumogakure and Kirigakure view Sand Village?

How will the daimyo view this hidden village that he has supported with a lot of money?

So, it’s really not that we intend to refute Chiyo’s order, it’s just that everyone... is really unwilling to accept it.

"Because we have been defeated! Because our Kage is dead! Because our Jinchūriki is also dead! Because the defense of our village is too weak, and because there is a Land of Earth next door to us."

Chiyo said without any hesitation after hearing this. Chiyo knew very well that if she failed to convince these ninjas here today.

After that, it would be even more impossible to convince these ninjas.

After all, there is really no need to continue this war.

The Sand Village needs to make every effort to reduce losses, return to the center of the desert, slowly accumulate strength, and wait for future opportunities.

After all, retreat is not something you can just do...

The Hidden Rain Country has been completely surrounded by Konoha, and the entire Rain Country has almost become Konoha's world.

And it is almost impossible to return to the village without any loss.

How could Konoha just watch Sand Village leave?

The new game has only just begun...

……

Shuji was not worried about the plight of Sunagakure. He only knew that his mission was completed.

but……

"Shusi, please work harder."

In Shuji's dormitory, Nawaki and Hiashi stood aside, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was pulling Shuji's arm and begging him humbly.

"It can't be hard, it can't be hard at all."

Hearing this, Shuji said to Sarutobi Hiruzen without any hesitation.

Ever since this ghost war began, Xiusi actually felt like he did in his previous life, working 996 during the day and staying up late typing at night.

Well, I just sent Yimu and June back to the Sand Village camp during the day.

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen wants him to lead the team to keep an eye on the movements of Sunagakure.

Leader, please be a human being. How can you employ people in this way?

"The village can't do without you, Shuuji-kun?"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not take Shuji's refusal to heart at all.

Alas... Ninjas are all like this. After finishing a mission, they always think about resting.

How can this be done?

Someone has to do the task anyway.

Having been the Hokage for so many years, Sarutobi Hiruzen is very adept at handling such matters.

Back when Hatake Sakumo was still a squad leader of the Anbu, Sarutobi Hiruzen once asked Hatake Sakumo to lead the team and complete five S-level missions in a row.

"Even if I want to agree to it, my teammates won't agree. Rope Tree hasn't accepted your apology yet."

Upon hearing this, Shuji pushed Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand that was holding his arm, and pulled Nawaki in directly to help him share the pressure.

"what?!"

When Sheng Shu heard this, he was stunned. His pupils widened instantly and he looked at Shu Si in disbelief.

"Do you have any complaints about me, Rope Tree-kun?"

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately looked at Nawaki with a smile.

"how could be……"

Upon hearing this, Nawaki unconsciously lowered his body and hurriedly spoke to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Eh? Didn't you say that day that you wouldn't accept Hokage-sama's apology?"

Hearing this, Xiuji immediately asked the rope tree.

Xiu Si just can't stand other people talking nonsense.

Chapter 146, Iwagakure Intervention

Even though a long time has passed, Xiusi has no intention of letting Shengshu go.

Are you kidding? Sheng Shu dares to act so arrogant in front of me.

Then let him perform in front of the real owner today.

If he can continue to be arrogant today...

That Xiu Si is pretty good.

"Oh? It seems that Nawaki-kun is still very dissatisfied with me?"

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Nawaki with a smile. There was a hint of danger in his slow voice.

As Tsunade's teacher, if Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to make Nawaki suffer, it would not be as difficult as ascending to heaven, but it could be said to be very easy.

"How could that be? There is no such thing at all. Please don't listen to what Shusi says."

Upon hearing this, Rope Tree hurriedly spoke to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As he spoke, Nawaki glared at Shusi without leaving any trace.

Hinata Shuji! I beg you to be a decent person!

Seeing this, Xiu Si turned his head away unnoticeably, not taking Sheng Shu's gaze to heart at all.

"Oh, is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in satisfaction and was about to turn around to continue discussing the mission with Shuji.

"I can prove that Shuji didn't lie."

Mikoto's voice suddenly sounded in the room. Nawaki was stunned when he heard it, and looked at Uchiha Mikoto with some disbelief.

no……

you……

When Shusi heard that, his eyes twitched slightly, and he quietly gave Mikoto a thumbs up.

Seeing this, Mikoto pursed her lips and lowered her head.
