ALL NOVEL Chapter 146
In the middle of the base surrounded by paper barriers with the Kirigakure logo, the Raikage Ai, who was sitting on the main seat in the big tent, ignored the complicated looks of the Kirigakure ninjas present and asked the ninjas in charge of the aftermath on the battlefield to simply count the gains and losses of both sides in this surprise attack. In this battle that lasted for half a day, 800 people from the Kirigakure were killed or seriously injured, while Konoha left more than four digits of corpses.
A considerable number of them lost their ability to move and were chased by the Kumokage ninjas, mainly the powerful destructive power of the AB combination.
If the casualties caused by Kumokakure are excluded, then Konoha can be said to have the upper hand in this battle, but if the results of the battle of Kumokakure are counted, then it can be said that it has lost all its money.
Half of the people were directly lost.
And what they solved was just a group of rabble who were sent out by Yang No to consume, and there was no hope for them to return to Kirigakure.
This battle did not last long, but the intensity was really shocking. Obviously, both sides were really red-eyed. The casualties were more serious than those caused in the previous Ninja World Wars.
This number of casualties made everyone from the Hidden Cloud Village who had rushed over take a deep breath.
Now that the Raikage had arrived and taken over the command, Terumi Mei, the supreme commander of the Hidden Mist Army, who had naturally joined his command, began to ask about the other party's plan.
She originally thought that her own strength had been damaged, and there were only 3,000 ninjas left. Excluding those who were temporarily unable to fight due to injuries and could only wait for medical ninjas in the rear for treatment, there might be only a little over 2,000 ninjas who could fight.
Now that there were only a little over 2,000 ninjas with fighting power, she originally thought that her side would take on the responsibility of a rear guard, but she didn't expect the Raikage to ask them to still join forces with the first formation of the Hidden Cloud Village.
Hearing that their own losses were so heavy and that the Raikage was going to use them to block the bullet holes, everyone in the Hidden Mist Village looked grim, and Terumi Mei even wanted to say that this matter needed to be consulted with the Mizukage.
Heaven and earth are conscientious, but the Mizukage gave her full authority. When the Mizukage was not present, her position as the commander of the front line was equivalent to that of the Mizukage, and she had the right to decide on everything.
But now she actually planned to use this as a shield. However, after seeing the angry faces of the people in the Hidden Mist Village, the Raikage slammed the table and shouted;
"There is no time! We have to fight in enemy territory! I am not here to play this boring game of intrigue and deception, but to give you this mission sincerely.
Mei Terumi, after you join the coalition, you will be the commander of the first formation of the coalition, and the Kumogakure ninjas under Darui will also accept your orders!"
After hearing his words, the faces of the people in the Hidden Mist Village improved a lot. It seems that the arrangement of the Raikage is more out of consideration of strength, and it is not intended to weaken their own combat effectiveness.
After saying this, the Raikage once again asked Mei Terumi, who was the front-line commander, to contact the Mizukage and ask him to send more forces to the front line.
He knew that according to the intelligence compiled by Darui, the war potential of the Hidden Mist Village could enable him to mobilize at least another 5,000 ninjas.
Of course, due to the unstable political situation, it may be necessary to actually need a lot of ninjas to stay in the village to ensure that no one dares to oppose the Mizukage and take the opportunity to launch a coup against the Mizukage's faction.
But at least three or four thousand people can be mobilized, right? The current strength of the Hidden Mist Village on the front line may also be... Only one-fourth of the Hidden Cloud Village, this is really a bit unreasonable. After all, you are one of the ninja villages of a big country.
And even your famous Seven Ninja Swordsmen has only one appeared so far, and he was beaten half to death by Might Guy, and now he is lying in the medical ninja's tent to recuperate.
If it weren't for his thick fat, I'm afraid that blunt knife Doukai would have to change a new owner.
Well, it seems that this bloodline suppression is really not a lie. Not long after this rebel ninja who just became one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen put on the exclusive blue cloak of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he almost suffered the same fate as his predecessor again.
But this time, Might Guy killed all the enemies without even opening the six gates. After all, he still needed a trump card to ensure that the people from several parties could retreat calmly....
After gaining command of the first formation of the Cloud and Mist Alliance, Mei Terumi wrote to the Mizukage and his advisors, including Qing, whom she trusted, and Uchiha Haruno, who showed her favor, asking them to send more reinforcements.
On the one hand, she inspected the wounded on her side and urged the medical ninjas to work in three shifts to treat the wounded on their side day and night.
The seriously injured were sent directly back to the Hidden Mist Village.
At the same time, she also met with a group of ninjas led by Darui from the Hidden Mist Village to discuss the next battle plan.
In the next half month of fighting, Mei Terumi adopted a more conservative approach.
She knew that her first formation was actually attracting Konoha's firepower at the forefront.
To put it bluntly, it was a filling-line force. The real killer move was the mobile force composed of the Raikage and the combination of Raikage and his brother AB and the other two Jinchūriki.
They were like sharks. As long as Konoha showed a flaw, they would go up and bite it. As long as they did their job steadily, they could preserve their own strength while avoiding losses to the greatest extent.
Sure enough, even though the battle lasted for more than ten days, both sides used the strategy of retreating after one strike, calling their companions immediately when the situation was not good, and never going deep alone.
Although this increased the consumption of ninja tools, the total number of casualties in the past half month was only more than 400, and the total number of deaths was only more than 100.
This is already a very scary number in peacetime, but this is a war after all, a war between killing machines and killing machines, and it is rare to be able to achieve this level.
The price is that Mei Terumi is a little exhausted because of excessive use of chakra several times, after all, she has to rush to the front line.
At the same time, the Mizukage who received Mei Terumi's request for help also sent a medical team and a small number of reinforcements.
Of course, this Mizukage was manipulated by Uchiha Yono to pass the resolution, and it is hard to say whether the reinforcements sent out are of great symbolic significance or practical significance.
At the same time, the girl herself was carrying out the mission of the Akatsuki organization. She passed the entire territory of the Land of Fire without stopping at all along the way.
Taking advantage of every minute and every second, they took advantage of the chaotic situation to launch secret attacks on Konoha ninjas.
The attack locations included those supply nodes in the rear and those patrols between various supply channels.
