Chapter 66 Although Hatake Sakumo in Konoha was ordered by Sarutobi Hiruzen to return to the village and take responsibility for the heavy losses caused by the failure of previous missions - even if the third generation's eldest son was crippled was the main reason, Sarutobi Hiruzen It is impossible to announce this reason to the outside world.
In order to create the conditions for carrying out the beheading mission, Konoha paid a heavy price and lost a lot of manpower. According to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hatake Sakumo's behavior directly caused Konoha's efforts to be in vain.
Even if Hatake Sakumo severely injured the Third Kazekage and was unable to fight for a certain period of time, the strategic goal had been achieved.
It is precisely for this reason that Kato Dan, who took over the good basic foundation laid by Hatake Sakumo, also led the Konoha ninjas to win consecutive battles.
River Country, in the west, in the low shrub plains.
A month later.
Uchiha Mingjing sat on a stone, breathing heavily.
Looking around, the plain was already littered with the corpses of dead Konoha ninjas and Sunagakure ninjas.
In addition, there were some injured Konoha ninjas who retreated to the rear with the support of their companions, or Konoha ninjas who were cleaning up the battlefield.
Judging from this situation, we know that the one who has the last laugh on this battlefield is Konoha.
The Third Kazekage was unable to fight, so the supreme commander of the Sunagakure ninja became Chiyo.
This current strongest puppet master in the ninja world, who is good at using poison, was completely restrained by Tsunade.
Chiyo is good at using poison, but there is no poison in this ninja world that Tsunade cannot detoxify.
Chiyo is a puppet master, but puppet masters are generally not very good at melee combat. Even if Chiyo's physical skills are not bad, they can't stop Tsunade's strange power.
Rasa's injury has not healed yet. According to the news from the spy ninja at the root, this person has just recovered to the point where he can go to the toilet independently. The remaining Karura has not reached the Kage level. Kato Dan's opponent at the threshold.
The high-level combat power was suppressed, and the fighting Sunagakure below was also suppressed by the high-morale Konoha ninjas.
In the eyes of those Konoha ninjas who came here from the battlefield of the Land of Rain, these Sunagakures were already defeated by them.
"Phew! After this battle, the war between the village and Sunagakure Village should be over."
Inuzuka Ryu lay on Tetsumaru's back, looking at the sky in the distance and murmuring.
Ming Jing's current strength has reached the level of jounin. Although Inuzuka and Aburame Nami are not bad, they can only be regarded as relatively excellent chuunin.
After a large-scale battle, Ming Jing's strength allowed him to do it with ease, but it was still a bit difficult for the other two teammates.
But compared with eight months ago, their progress has been rapid.
Being able to reach this level within two years of graduation is already an absolute genius. During the same period, only a few ninjas such as Hyuga Tetsumon seemed to be able to achieve this level.
"Maybe."
Ming Jing looked a little sad at the moment.
The war is about to end. Doesn't this mean that his plan to visit Loulan during this period is likely to be ruined? I just don’t know if Kato Dan will agree to his previous proposal and let people persuade Queen Loulan to turn Loulan into a vassal state of the Fire Country and accept the protection of Konoha, so as to use Loulan as Konoha in the west. An important outpost to guard Sunagakure.
If it can be agreed, I hope that I can serve as the proposer of the proposal and be a member of the Konoha delegation to Loulan.
Ming Jing casually chatted with his two teammates for a few more words, then consciously walked towards the temporary hospital set up behind him.
In the past eight months, Tsunade has completed the training of the previous batch of medical ninjas. Now it is the third batch, so the medical force is much stronger than 's just that the three of them will still go to the temporary hospital to help, because half of those medical ninjas were sent to Yu no Kuni by Sarutobi Hiruzen, so there is still a shortage of manpower.
However, after being busy for a while, Ming Jing was still invited out.
It wasn't that he messed up something because of his mistake, but that Kato Suan came to inform him of something.
"Jōnin Hakuun, Master Dan, why did he call me?"
Uchiha Mingjing was walking on the road and asked Shixin who came to inform Baiyun.
"Hey, I'm not telling you what's wrong, but what's wrong with us."
Baiyun Shixin has never been so happy.
When he was in the Land of Rain, he had already boarded Kato Dan's ship and became Kato Dan's subordinate.
Although most civilian ninjas and a considerable number of family ninjas choose to bet on Orochimaru, because he is indeed the person who currently seems most likely to become the next Hokage.
But there are many people who choose to bet on Kato Dan, and most of them are from the ninja clan.
Although the Kato clan is a small ninja clan, they followed the First Hokage to establish the ninja clan of Konoha. What's more, with Kato Suan still around, are you worried that the Kato clan can't be revived?
The more important reason is because Kato Dan's lover is Tsunade.
Even though the Senju clan has integrated into Konoha, it still has a great influence among these ninja clans. If Tsunade and Kato Dan can really achieve something, they will have a good chance together.
In addition, the three disciples of Kato Dan are all from the great ninja clan, which naturally attracts these families even more.
No matter how bad it is, given the irreversible relationship between Tsunade, Kato Dan and Orochimaru, in the future there will be a high-ranking Konoha like Mito Kaden and Koharu, so even if the bet fails, they will not necessarily lose money in the future. .
Only the great ninja clans like the Uchiha and Hyuga clan are still waiting and watching.
It's not the time for them to end yet. The Hyuga clan believes that the existence of the Byakugan has extremely high strategic significance. Coupled with the caged bird system, no matter who the Hokage is, they will not have any big impact.
As for the Uchiha clan's ideas, they are rather bizarre.
Most of the clan elders believed that it was not time to end yet, and even Uchiha Fugaku felt that he would be able to compete with the Fourth Hokage in the future...
Well, this is no joke. In the original timeline, the other two candidates competing with Namikaze Minato for the Fourth Hokage were Orochimaru and Uchiha Fugaku.
"Just last night, the Third Master ordered the ANBU to send a letter and agreed to the ninja title promotion list proposed by Dan-sama and Orochimaru-sama."
Baiyun Shixin smiled and patted Ming Jing on the shoulder.
This time, by riding on Kato Dan's car, he was successfully promoted to a real jounin and took off his "special" hat.
"After this, I will probably have to change my title to you to Mirror Jōnin."
In the list that Kato Duan reported, based on Ming Jing's strength and military exploits, he recommended his disciple to become a special jounin.
