The falling waterfall fell into the deep pool, and the snow-white water rippled outwards, creating a rumbling sound. From afar, it sounded like the rumbling of thunder.
The terrain of the Waterfall Country was uneven, and the water was abundant, so there were many waterfalls. The Waterfall of the Waterfall Village was the largest in the Waterfall Country. It was chosen by the founder of the Waterfall Village.
"Daruii-sama, why are you slacking off here again? There are a lot of documents that need your attention. You don't have the dignity of an army commander." The beautiful woman with long golden hair draped over her shoulders coldly reprimanded Darui.
On the edge of the pool, Darui was sitting lazily on a piece of bluestone, his head nodding as if he was taking a nap. The voice of the woman was completely covered by the roar of the waterfall, and it didn't reach Darui's ears.
"Daruii-sama!"
The tone suddenly rose from the frosty mode to a volcano that was about to erupt. The veins on the woman's white forehead were exposed.
"Oh, it's Yuko!" Darui said lazily as if he had just woken up. "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something. Did you get the information about the Kiba?"
Darui was accustomed to the roar of thunder in the Lightning Country. Every time he went out to perform a mission, he couldn't hear the thunder, and he even missed it. This time, he found this waterfall in the Waterfall Country. He liked to run here to meditate and think about various things. According to his own words, it was easy to calm down here.
"Well, Kiba is not a big deal. The defense of the Rock Country is very tight. With the advantage of the terrain of the Earth Country, they blocked the attack of Kiba. The two sides fell into a fierce battle, and blood flowed like a river on the battlefield. This is the report." Yuko handed the prepared documents to Darui. She was also used to the lazy style of the commander.
Darui took the document and read it carefully. Recently, he personally checked the information about Kiba, because he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
This made Darui quite irritated, and he even had the idea of withdrawing the troops, but the families in the village were not willing, including his family. The huge profits brought by the Blackstone Mountains made people jealous, and Raikage couldn't force the families to bow their heads, that would damage his prestige.
"What is this? Broken blood bag? "Darui looked at the report and opened his eyes wide.
"… Discovered a large number of damaged blood bags, suspected to be used by Konoha's battlefield hospital. However, the blood bags were either pierced or cut open, it is very difficult to identify what they are used for … Requesting manpower to investigate the location of Konoha's battlefield hospital."
"I also don't know about this, but I have already sent a team to investigate. If we can find out the location of Kiba Field Hospital, we can definitely deal a heavy blow to Kiba. Recently, Kiba and Sakura Shinobu's troops attacked many of our supply points, and it was all because the transfer speed was too slow." Yuko said quickly.
"This report …" Darui's brows wrinkled into a knot, and he bit his lips while staring at the report in his hand. He smelled something fishy, and there was something wrong with this report. "Puncture … cut … the blood transfusion bag is a precious medical resource …"
"Indeed, this report is very confusing, it can't be that Rock Ninja attacked Kiba Field Hospital, right? This is simply a joke. "Yuko shook her head and also had a puzzled look.
"It is already good enough that Rock Ninja can only rely on their border garrison to defend, how can they send people to attack a Field Hospital … unless the Field Hospital is on the battlefield …" Darui's brows wrinkled even deeper, and suddenly, he hurriedly flipped through the document in his hand and asked at the same time, "Yuko, did these reports mention the discovery of corpses?"
"Corpses … indeed, all the reports are of blood flowing like a river … but it seems to only mention some broken limbs that were blown beyond recognition …" Although Yuko didn't understand, she still answered dutifully.
"Broken limbs? Damn things, we were played by Kiba and Rock Ninja bastards. "Darui fiercely threw the document on the ground, and his expression was quite ferocious.
"Yuko, quickly send a message to Yugito Nito, tell her that Kiba and Rock Ninja have formed an alliance, and tell her to withdraw immediately, and don't care about the iron mine anymore. If she encounters any obstacles, break through with all her strength." Darui pulled out the long sword on his back and stabbed it into the document on the ground, and with a flash of lightning, it turned into charcoal.
Yuko was already confused, the news of Kiba and Rock Ninja forming an alliance was a bit too explosive, and it really made her a bit at a loss. If it wasn't for Darui never joking, she would have thought that he was joking. Originally, Kiba and Sakura Shinobu were already very difficult to deal with, and now that Rock Ninja was added, the difficulty of one versus three was doubled.
Only when she saw Darui's back did Yuko react, and hurriedly chased after him. She must spread the news as soon as possible.
Cloud Ninja's headquarters.
"Darui sama, Black Rock Mountain Range has an urgent report, Rock Ninja's reinforcements have arrived, the United Nations Border Garrison has cut off the passage, and Yugito-sama is trapped in the Black Rock Mountain Range." Cloud Ninja rushed into Darui's tent in panic.
"Not good, Darui sama, Kiba and Sakura Shinobu have begun to advance towards here …"
One bad news after another kept coming, but Darui calmed down. Since things have already come to this, there is no need to be upset. Since he knows that Kiba and Rock Ninja have formed an alliance, then he just has to think of a way to deal with it. The most frightening thing is to draw a bow without releasing it.
"What should we do? Darui sama, are we going to fight Kiba head-on? " A brown-skinned Cloud Ninja said. He was Darui's brother, an elite Jonin with Mist Release Kekkei Genkai.
"Morui, don't be impulsive." Darui appeased his grumpy cousin, and his brows were tightly wrinkled as he thought of countermeasures. Soon, he said, "Gather the troops, and immediately attack Rock Ninja who is intercepting Yugito."
"But if we do that, it is very likely that we will be surrounded by Kiba and Rock Ninja!" A Jonin couldn't help but open his mouth. He was also a veteran Jonin of Cloud Ninja, and could be regarded as Darui's senior.
"I understand, but Yugito is in the Black Rock Mountains. We can't abandon Yugito and retreat." Darui said with difficulty. How could he not know that the decision just now was to step into Kiba's trap?
But Yugito was still in the Black Rock Mountains. According to the historical rules, Jinchuriki was the first target to be recovered when defeated. When Kiba and Rock Ninja formed an alliance, Cloud Ninja's defeat was already set. At this time, the most important thing was to recover their Jinchuriki.
After all, unlike Rock Ninja, Cloud Ninja valued their Jinchuriki very much, especially the two Jinchuriki of this generation who were perfect Jinchuriki. They were super precious war weapons. If Darui abandoned Yugito and retreated, it was very likely that he could save his Cloud Ninja, but that kind of shame would probably make all the surviving Cloud Ninjas collapse.
