Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 210 Hiruzen Sarutobi, another wrong decision!

"you..."

The girl from the dormitory who had changed dorms stomped her foot, turned around, and fled the training ground.

unacceptable!

Shinnosuke ignored it and focused his attention back on climbing.

"Shinnosuke, your understanding of the Will of Fire is becoming more and more profound."

Shinnosuke's eyes lit up: "Yuuki-nii! You're out of seclusion!"

Yuuki gave him a thumbs up and encouraged him, "Of course, you did a great job practicing!"

Shinnosuke jumped down and stood in front of Yuuki. After his initial excitement, a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.

"Brother Youshu, I've let you down."

"And your family has disappointed you too."

"Father, he... he hasn't been able to conquer Sunagakure for so long, it's simply..."

Yushu laughed and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. Victory and defeat are like drifting clouds; you never know when you'll be able to catch them."

"It is inevitable that the three generations of lords will make mistakes."

On the surface, they were offering comfort, but inside they were cursing.

Let alone Hiruzen Sarutobi with so many ninjas, even three thousand ninja boars would have driven Sunagakure home after two and a half years of this.

The results of it?

The strongest Third Generation Lord has managed to drag this out until now!

"Yuuki-nii, you're going to the battlefield again soon, right?" Shinnosuke asked with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "Can I go with you to defend against the Cloud Ninja?"

Yuuki tapped Shinnosuke on the head: "Next time, next time for sure."

After saying that, he leaped away from the training ground, because the finishing touches on the underground insect nest were now completely complete.

For the past two and a half years, neither the Hokage nor Sakumo Hatake has been able to end the battlefield.

Especially two years ago, when the Hidden Cloud Village sent troops to participate in the war, the Hidden Leaf Village dreamed of being besieged by four villages!

This time, it's no joke!

The brutality of the war has risen to a whole new level!

The police department had no choice but to go to the defense line of Yu to defend against the invasion of Kumogakure.

However, with the springtail troops blocking their way, the Third Raikage was well aware of Uchiha Yuuki's combat strength.

The battlefield was not particularly brutal.

The two sides didn't even really fight; they just verbally declared war on each other.

It's a fight between Konoha and Kumogakure, and the Land of Hot Springs is almost completely wiped out.

The nearby Frost Country and Sound Country also failed to escape the gluttonous maw of the two great ninja villages!

The primary goal of Kumogakure is still development: accumulating resources, cultivating talent, and perfecting the Lightning Release Armor: Super Intensified Mode.

Before the three small and medium-sized countries are completely wiped out, a major war will not break out between Konoha and Kumogakure.

But two years have passed, and the Land of Frost and the Land of Sound have been almost completely devoured.

The conflict between Konoha and Kumogakure is becoming increasingly apparent.

In fact, Yuuki would need to stay on the front lines to guard against an attack by the Third Raikage.

The situation was tense; one was either standing by the table or being served on it.

The food on the table is almost all gone.

The two giants at the dining table immediately began a fierce hand-to-hand combat.

...

The wind defense line of Konoha.

Inside the tent, Hiruzen Sarutobi sat upright in the commander's seat.

Exposed to the wind and sun, his already aged face became dark and dry.

He looks like an old man in his fifties or sixties.

His upright back was bent into an arc by the heavy military duties.

In the past two and a half years, Konoha's promising situation has deteriorated into a mess.

The battle lines of Konoha have been pushed to the edge of the Land of Wind, where yellow sand fills the sky and the oasis is small.

The land of rivers, now occupied, is a desolate place with towering cliffs and no sign of life.

Obviously, difficult roads mean logistical difficulties and high consumption of supplies during transport.

This land is not suitable for a protracted war, but only for a swift victory!

If a quick victory cannot be achieved, a swift retreat is necessary!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's indecisiveness dragged Konoha into a quagmire!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, without Danzo Shimura, is like a sword blade without a hilt.

Only when the blade and hilt are combined can the sword be truly powerful.

Without its hilt, a so-called precious sword is nothing more than a piece of scrap metal, its direction unknown.

This is vividly demonstrated in the increasingly declining state of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Having too many ties and the fear of losing them, he dared not easily sever them.

When it came to leading ninjas into battle alone, he was concerned about the ninjas in his unit, such as Sarutobi, Mitomon, and Utatane, and worried about heavy losses.

The elders of several families often bothered him, hoping that the wars they faced would not be so 'tragic'.

Without the ruthlessness at the root, it would be difficult for him to completely refuse.

He worried that a group effort would be time-consuming, laborious, and fruitless.

He was concerned about insufficient supplies and unsustainable logistics if he decided to remain inactive.

He was reluctant to abandon the land he had conquered, even though he had planned to withdraw from the Land of Wind, ambush and force Sunagakure into a corner.

Back and forth, Konoha wasted its years and failed to achieve enough results.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was used to Danzo Shimura's behind-the-scenes support, to Nara's strategist's direct assistance, and to being in charge of everything from a high position.

When it came to actually implementing the measures at the front lines, he found it difficult to adapt, always hesitating and missing opportunities.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's goal in personally going to the battlefield was to end the war and establish his prestige.

As a result, his prestige declined further.

He had tried before, launching surprise attacks on the Third Kazekage, Chiyo, or Ebizo.

It essentially ended in failure.

The Third Kazekage, who mastered the Magnet Release bloodline limit, is known as the strongest Kazekage.

The most troublesome thing is that he can fly!

If Hiruzen Sarutobi is determined to escape, he will be defeated unless he seizes an opportunity.

A sneak attack! Only then can the outcome be decided in one fell swoop.

But he couldn't catch it.

Chiyo and Ebizo need no further introduction.

The two were inseparable, with a monk accompanying them.

Hiruzen Sarutobi could sense that it was a Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast!

Three Kage-level characters!

Chiyo is a medical genius second only to Tsunade, a master of poisons, and a puppeteer, known as someone who can single-handedly destroy a country.

If the three of them team up for a head-on battle, Hiruzen Sarutobi might end up getting himself killed.

Even a peak-level Kage cannot instantly kill an ordinary Kage!

They might even be defeated!

The gap between Kage-level actors is not insurmountable!

Once you reach the Kage level, who doesn't have a few forbidden killing techniques?

Hiruzen Sarutobi gazed out the window and sighed, "Why is it so difficult for me to do something for the village?"

He silently wrote a letter: Orochimaru, we're short of resources, send them over immediately!
