Chapter 316 The End of the War!
The war is finally over!
From the time Huang Tu led his army to approach the border of the Land of Demons, to the time when the Iwagakure ninjas completely retreated back to the Land of Earth, the war lasted for nearly two months.
But in these two months of war, the two ninja villages of Yuegakure and Iwagakure suffered a total of nearly 6,000 ninja casualties, of which the Iwagakure village suffered more than 4,000 ninja casualties and the Yuegakure village suffered more than 1,000 ninja casualties.
To be honest, this war has attracted the attention of all parties since the beginning. Faced with this confrontation that may trigger the Fourth Ninja World War, all parties cannot ignore it, after all, no one knows when their own village will be involved in the war.
And all parties have naturally made final inferences about the direction and outcome of this war.
Originally, in the predictions of these people, this war would have to last at least another month. At that time, as the war progressed, the front line would gradually advance southward and approach the core territory of the Land of Demons.
The final outcome may be that Yuegakure Village was completely destroyed by Iwagakure Village, or Yuegakure Village was forced to cede land and seek peace under the strong pressure of Iwagakure Village. Another possibility is that the Hidden Rock Village was blocked layer by layer in the territory of the Land of Demons, and finally negotiated with the Hidden Moon Village under the influence of external environmental factors (such as the support of the Hidden Mist Village).
But no matter how they deduce, in their eyes, the Hidden Rock Village will have the initiative in the war. In general, most people are not optimistic that the Hidden Moon Village can win the final victory in this war.
However, unlike most people who are pessimistic about the Hidden Moon Village, at least Terumi Mei in the Hidden Mist Village has great confidence in the Hidden Moon Village's victory in this war, and only Terumi Mei, who has fought with Liu Yu, knows how strong a force is contained in Liu Yu's body.
The development of things is often beyond everyone's expectations. Overnight, the situation reversed, and the Hidden Moon Village not only defeated the invasion of the Hidden Rock Village neatly, but also slaughtered the 6,000 Hidden Rock Village ninjas who invaded the Land of Demons. In the end, only more than a thousand people from the Hidden Rock Village successfully withdrew, and the others either died in the Land of Demons or entered the prisoner-of-war camp of the Hidden Moon Village, and the price paid by the Hidden Moon Village was only more than a thousand people. The one-to-four casualty ratio is probably the biggest loss that Iwagakure has suffered since its establishment.
But this is not the most surprising thing. What is more surprising is that Iwagakure actually sent the Four-Tails into this war. Facing a small country like Tsukigakure, Iwagakure is not careless and even sent the tailed beasts to the battlefield.
But the subsequent development was full of twists and turns like a drama. The leader of Tsukigakure defeated the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, and then used an unknown method to completely manipulate the Four-Tails and put it into the war against Iwagakure ninjas.
In the battle of Lava Valley, one man and one beast fought against four thousand Iwagakure ninjas, and at the beginning of the battle, they were pressed to the ground and beaten violently.
One VS four thousand can still achieve an overwhelming victory. There has not been such a fierce man in the ninja world for many years!
Especially this Kusanagi Liuyu actually successfully manipulated the Four-Tails. People are not only curious, this Kusa Chi Liu Yu does not have Uchiha Madara's Mangekyō Sharingan, nor does she have the wood escape secret technique of the first generation of Hokage, how does she control the four-tailed beast?
Could it be the rare bamboo escape bloodline of the Kusa Chi clan?
For a while, people compared Kusa Chi Liu Yu with the Yamagashi Hanzo, who gave the three ninjas of Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade the title of Sannin, and was known as the demigod of the ninja world, and regarded her as another peak of the current ninja world.
When the Iwagakure Village retreated back to the Land of Earth, all forces began to pay attention to the development of the situation. I want to know whether Ohnoki will hold back and end the war, or start to fully mobilize the internal human resources of the Iwagakure Village to continue the war?
Although the Tsukigakure Village won the previous war, everyone with a discerning eye knew that the initiative of the war was still in the hands of the old man Ohnoki. Is it a war or a peace? It all depends on Ohnoki to make the decision.
If Ohnoki decides to continue the war, then all parties will really have to start preparing for the Fourth Ninja World War. After all, no one knows whether their village will be involved in the war in the next moment.
Especially the ambiguous relationship between the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Moon Village, coupled with the death of the Second Mizukage, once the war is stalemate, it is hard to say that the Hidden Mist Village will ignore this war.
And once the Hidden Mist Village joins the war, will the other ninja villages suppress their ambitions?
The Hidden Rock Village!
A gust of wind blew, bringing up a large amount of small gravel, hitting the narrow window with a click.
Inside a huge rock building, a silent meeting is being held.
"Everyone, talk about your opinions!"
Sitting in the upper seat, Ohnoki said while throwing a roll of sealed documents that had just been cut on the rock table in front of him, his face looked rather ugly.
This is the armistice document sent by Liu Yu, but it is called a armistice document, but Ohnoki feels that it is more like a humiliation.
Since he became the third Tsuchikage, he has never suffered such a big loss. The last time he suffered such a big loss was when he followed the second Tsuchikage to Konoha to form an alliance and was humiliated by Uchiha Madara.
For many years, even the third Hokage of Konoha had yielded in front of him, but this time he was humiliated by a young girl.
After paying the casualties of more than 4,000 Iwagakure ninjas, he got nothing in the end and had to accept the other party's truce letter in disgrace. This is nothing short of a shame.
But Ohnoki is the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village after all. He naturally does not act based on his own subjective emotions and attitudes. He naturally knows how to be a qualified Tsuchikage.
The elders of the Iwagakure Village and the main elite jonin on both sides did not take the truce letter and just kept silent.
After all, Iwagakure Village has never suffered such a big loss in all these years. Even in the Third Ninja World War, the Third Hokage was submissive to them.
But this time, more than 4,000 Iwagakure ninjas were lost at once, which is close to one-third of the combat-capable ninjas in Iwagakure Village. Faced with such a big loss, they had to carefully consider the next action.
Finally, an Iwagakure elder with a sinister look took the document and flipped through it casually, then focused his eyes on Huang Tu, trying to break the silence.
As the son of the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki, Huang Tu is the best among this generation of Iwagakure ninjas. Naturally, he is the best candidate for the Fourth Tsuchikage in the minds of many people. But it is precisely because of this that he is more likely to be targeted by political enemies who disagree with Ohnoki.
"Captain Huang Tu, do you have anything to say about this?"
As the leader of the Iwagakure ninjas, Huang Tu can be said to have an unshirkable responsibility for the failure of this war. But as someone who has directly fought with Kusa Chi Liu Yu, his opinion is also a reference that cannot be ignored.
Hearing the tone of the elder's questioning, Huang Tu did not get angry. He shook his head lightly at first, and then said:
"I am not Kusa Chi Liu Yu's opponent. In the previous battle, we did try to remove Kusa Chi Liu Yu's control of the four-tailed beast, but with the cooperation of many Iwagakure jonin, I have always been at a disadvantage."
Huang Tu was very frank and directly admitted the fact that he was not Liu Yu's opponent.
As soon as Huang Tu's words came out, the Iwagakure elders around him began to discuss in a low voice. Although there was a political struggle, Huang Tu's strength was indeed the top among the new generation of Iwagakure ninjas. Even most of the Iwagakure elders here were not as strong as him, otherwise Huang Tu would not be appointed as the captain to lead the war against the Moon Village.
But now Huang Tu admitted frankly that he was no match for Liu Yu, which meant that Kusa Sen Liu Yu's strength had reached the level of "shadow".
For a moment, some of the Iwagakure elders bowed their heads and thought deeply, and began to think about whether they should accept this truce agreement, but the other part of the Iwagakure elders looked at Ohnoki who was at the top.
Ohnoki's existence can be said to be a stabilizing force in Iwagakure Village. If you want to find a ninja who can fight Kusa Sen Liu Yu among the people present, it must be Ohnoki. Ohnoki's indestructible Dust Release is a treasure of the village comparable to the tailed beasts in the hearts of many people. No one would doubt the huge energy hidden under this hunched body.
""
Looking at everyone looking at Ohnoki expectantly, Huang Tu wanted to say something else, but finally stopped talking. In fact, in his heart, his father who has Dust Release is a 30-70 result against Liu Yu.
Liu Yu 7, Ohnoki 3.
Although the Dust Release can separate the opponent into atoms and turn them into ashes, it is not an absolutely invincible technique. Otherwise, the Second Tsuchikage would not have been burned by the Second Mizukage's "Steam Danger Explosion Power", and his whole body would not be wrapped in bandages, let alone die together with the Second Mizukage in the final battle.
As long as the opponent is fast enough, the threat of the Dust Release will be greatly reduced, and Kusa Chi Liu Yu, who is good at time and space instant body technique, will undoubtedly restrain Ohnoki to some extent.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
Looking at the people below who were talking, Ohnoki knocked on the table lightly, his expression was very solemn, and he didn't expect that an ordinary action at the beginning would actually bring such a great enemy to the Hidden Rock Village.
""
The meeting room fell into silence again, and it seemed that they felt that this issue was difficult to decide.
Kusa Chi Liu Yu is troublesome enough now, and she is still young and has room for further improvement. She is already so strong now, and the Hidden Rock Village executives present dare not imagine how strong Kusa Chi Liu Yu will be in the future.
Moreover, what the Tsukigakure Village offered this time was not a peace agreement, but a truce. In other words, the two sides only temporarily ceased fighting, and a new round of war could break out at any time.
In fact, many elders advocated continuing the war, and they must completely extinguish the Tsukigakure Village before it becomes too big. But the risk of the Fourth Ninja World War that followed made them have to worry.
"Since everyone has no objection, then reply to the Tsukigakure Village to agree to their conditions!"
Seeing that the people below were still silent, Ohnoki finally made a decision.
Even if he was unwilling, this war should indeed end.
The current relationship between the Iwagakure Village and the Kirigakure and Kumogakure is not very good. Once the Iwagakure Village is entangled by the Tsukigakure Village, it is hard to say whether these two villages will have any unusual movements.
As for Konoha and Sandgakure, which formed the Wind and Fire Alliance, they had just fought each other not long ago, and the two villages that licked blood were naturally unwilling to join the war at this juncture. Even if Konoha's Danzo is very enthusiastic about exterminating the Kusanagi clan, this does not represent the opinions of other elders of Konoha.
After much deliberation, Ohnoki finally decided to agree to Kusa Chiruha's conditions.
