Chapter 160: Confrontation
In the central tent of the Pujing Bridge garrison, everyone in the tent maintained a strange silence, and what made them silent was only a map placed on the middle table.
Looking at the map on the table, the cloud-ghost man at the top frowned and smoked one cigarette after another. Although the smoke in the tent made some non-smoking cloud-ghost ninjas feel uncomfortable, they said nothing and just stared at the map on the table with frowns.
This is a map of Pujing Bridge, but compared with ordinary maps, this map has more outlines of various colors and patterns. Let an ordinary person look at it and may not see anything, but those present are the main jonin of Pujing Bridge. Even if there are no annotations, they naturally understand what the outlines and patterns on it represent.
This is the defense warning map of the cloud-ghost outside Pujing Bridge. The information in it is so detailed that the cloud-ghost people present are sweating behind their backs.
At this time, they knew why Konoha had taken Zewang Mountain so easily. If the Konoha ninjas on the opposite side were not outnumbered, they would have probably launched a sneak attack on Urakyo Bridge.
This map was brought back by a captive who was released by Konoha two days ago. At that time, they were still wondering why Konoha was so kind to release the captives, but when they saw this map, they understood everything. This is a warning to tell the people present in Kumogakure that everything they have is under Konoha's surveillance.
After the reinforcements of Kumogakure arrived, Konoha had sent out several reconnaissance teams, but they were all discovered and stopped by their own sensory ninjas. In other words, the map on the table was recently obtained by Konoha, and the only ones who could avoid the detection of their own sensory ninjas were the hidden ninjas of the Kusanagi clan. This also reflects from the side that Konoha's reinforcements have arrived at the front line of the Moon Country.
Thinking of this, the Kumogakure man at the top touched his chin unconsciously. As a martial arts ninja village that advocates swordsmanship and ninja physical skills, sensory ninjas have always been a weakness of Kumogakure. In all the wars with Konoha, the Hidden Cloud Village suffered from the lack of sensory ninjas, especially in the battle of Zewang Mountain, where the Hidden Cloud Village lost the initiative on the battlefield because of the enemy's hidden ninjas.
Most of the sensory ninjas are inherited from family bloodlines, and the Hidden Cloud Village has no way to cultivate and expand the scale of sensory ninjas. Once faced with a large-scale war, the few sensory ninjas in the village will not play a big role at all. This time, it was also because other fronts had ceased fighting that the village was able to gather so many sensory ninjas to send to Urakyo Bridge. But unexpectedly, the enemy had investigated their own defense map clearly, and none of their sensory ninjas reacted.
"Everyone! What should we do?"
The Hidden Cloud man at the top position pinched out the last cigarette and asked in a deep voice. Now Konoha has concentrated all its forces on Zewang Mountain. If it attacks by force, the Hidden Cloud Village will suffer huge losses.
"I think we should postpone the implementation of the battle plan."
At this time, a Hidden Cloud Senior Ninja spoke softly.
Hearing him say this, the other Kumogakure senior ninjas present remained silent and did not express their opinions. On the one hand, they did not want to give up just like that, but on the other hand, they could not find a better solution.
The Kumogakure senior ninja at the top position glanced at the Kumogakure senior ninja who spoke, and remembered another thing. The prisoner released by Konoha seemed to be the subordinate of the Kumogakure senior ninja who just spoke. The last time they went out on a mission with dozens of people, they encountered the second user of the Flying Thunder God Technique in Konoha, and suffered heavy casualties. In the end, only a few people managed to escape.
"Hidden ninja, user of the Flying Thunder God Technique, it seems that the reinforcements sent by Konoha are very timely!"
Thinking of this, the Kumogakure senior ninja at the top position had a trace of helplessness on his lips. These two abilities are difficult to deal with!
"If everyone has no objection, then I will take it as everyone's default to postpone the implementation of the combat plan."
After waiting for a while, seeing that no one still spoke, the Kumogakure senior ninja at the top position said again.
The decision to send back the defense map of Urakyo Bridge took effect. Kumogakure reduced the attacks on Konoha patrol teams, and Konoha and Kumogakure were in a stalemate again in the Kingdom of the Moon. When the reinforcements sent by Konoha arrived, the two sides once again maintained a balance in combat power, and Kumogakure reduced its activities in the junction area between the two sides.
This state of confrontation lasted until the end of the year. After that, it was not known whether Konoha and Kumogakure had reached some unknown secret agreement, or Kumogakure was unwilling to remain in a stalemate. In short, the Kumogakure ninjas of Urakyo Bridge began to retreat backwards on a large scale. Soon, the number of Kumogakure troops stationed near Urakyo Bridge dropped to a thousand.
At the same time, in response to the withdrawal of the Kumogakure, Konoha also began to withdraw to the village, and the number of Konoha ninjas stationed in Zewang Mountain soon returned to around a thousand. After several months of confrontation, the situation of both sides in the Kingdom of the Moon returned to the previous situation.
In this conflict initiated by the Hidden Cloud Village, both sides lost a lot of manpower and gained nothing.
During the confrontation between Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha in the past few months, Liu Yu not only practiced hard, but also occasionally led the team to perform patrol missions. The ninjas assigned to Liu Yu were also happy to have a strong leader. The stronger the leader, the higher the survival rate of the team members.
Relying on the reverse summoning of Sangetsu Munechika, it can be said that Liu Yu has been on the battlefield of the Moon Country, which lacks top strongmen. Gradually, Liu Yu has also made a name for himself on the front line of the Moon Country. After the Kumogakure ninja found out that the Konoha ninja they met was Liu Yu, they no longer chose to fight, but ran away immediately.
However, the Kumogakure side seemed to have some misunderstandings about Liu Yu, mistakenly thinking that Liu Yu was performing the Flying Thunder God Technique. Even within Konoha, there are many people who think that Liu Yu is performing the Flying Thunder God Technique. In particular, Liu Yu's identity as the captain of the Shadow Guard has made them sit back and watch their speculation.
For these wrong speculations, Liu Yu initially planned to explain, but the rumors that Liu Yu succeeded Namikaze Minato in mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique became more and more intense. In the end, Liu Yu no longer cared about this matter, and let Flying Thunder God be Flying Thunder God!
After sending back the previously obtained deployment map, the Kumogakure side quickly changed the deployment and patrol arrangements. After the enemy changed their deployment, Liu Yu went to the vicinity of Urakyo Bridge several times to investigate the new deployment of Kumogakure, and finally drew the latest deployment map and sent it back to Kumogakure.
Faced with Konoha repeatedly obtaining their own deployment arrangements, Kumogakure seemed extremely frustrated, and their only sensory ninja could not find Liu Yu at all. Kumogakure finally chose to withdraw and restore the previous state, and Liu Yu also played a significant role in this.
