The Hyuga Clan had about 500 people left behind. Konoha sent 7,500 ninjas on the road, accompanied by more than 6,000 strong men.
On the other hand, the Land of Fire sent a large number of soldiers to gather at the front line. A large net arranged for Konoha's ninjas was being closed …
Perhaps realizing that if they leave the ninjas, they really can't leave alive, the civilians were a lot more well-behaved along the way.
But the human heart is the most difficult thing to guess.
When resting at night, a group of people whispered.
"My father was killed by an arrow in the valley!"
"I was forced to separate from my wife and child!" The person who said this ignored one point, that is, they were willing to stay.
"It's not the fault of the ninjas. If they didn't resist the Daimyo, how could there be so many things!"
Someone still had a conscience: "But … when we were trapped in the valley, the ninjas could have completely ignored us, but they saved us … because of this, the casualties were heavy."
The previous person coldly snorted: "Humph! In the past, the ninjas relied on us for food and clothing. Now that we are homeless, they protect us. Isn't that a matter of course? "
Another person echoed: "And … if they gave us something to eat, how could we be confused by a few bags of food? Speaking of which, it's still the ninjas' fault!"
"Yes, the ninjas' fault! It's the ninjas' fault! "
The previous person who still had a conscience, listened to everyone's words, and his heart tilted again: "Yes, it's really the ninjas' fault!"
"And I heard that the Anbu Ninja Country is a country of ninjas. There, ninjas are respected, and the status of civilians is the lowest. Even if we go there … we may not be able to get a good result!"
"Then, what should we do?"
One person looked around and took out a stack of explosive tags from his arms: "Do you think … if we make a contribution, will the Land of Fire accept us again?"
The sun and the moon alternated, and the mountains crossed.
Only 100 miles away from the border, the second large-scale conflict between the Land of Fire and Konoha's ninjas was finally staged!
It was no longer the one-sided ambush of the Land of Fire that caught Konoha off guard.
This time, Shikaku boldly proposed to occupy the favorable terrain and invite the enemy to enter the trap, and attract the attention of the Hyuga and civilians in the depths of the Land of Fire!
The battle was incredibly intense …
The Earth Release ninja took advantage of the terrain and set up an extremely thick Earth Release barrier in advance. The chromium arrows were indeed indestructible, and even gold and iron were vulnerable in front of them. However, if the Earth was thick enough, its defense would be far better than gold and iron!
With the cover of the barrier, the most powerful weapons like bows and arrows would be effectively suppressed, and the ninjas would be able to display their strengths!
An Earth Release Ninja! They sneaked into the ground and dug trenches for other ninjas to sneak in from the ground and appear behind the enemy. With a feast of ninjutsu, they caught the enemy off guard. There were even some who were good at using transformation jutsu. They turned into soldiers and mixed into the enemy to create chaos!
Fighting in the middle of the night, the Nara Clan's Shadow Secret Technique was even more effective!
The more enemies there were, the more shadows they could make use of. Thousands of soldiers were bound by the shadows. They imitated the shadows and took out their melee weapons to attack their allies.
"Retreat! Retreat! "
Finally, the soldiers could not hold on any longer and quickly retreated!
Killer B transformed into his second form and fired several bijudamas at their backs, killing nearly a thousand people.
In this battle, the ninjas won a complete victory, and their morale was greatly boosted!
Out of the 30000 soldiers sent by the Land of Fire, 5000 of them died!
In the middle of the night, in the Land of Fire's military camp!
"This is really beyond my expectations … After the last defeat, these ninjas can regroup so quickly and make such a beautiful counterattack. Among them, there must be a strategist who is good at planning!"
"Reporting to the general, according to the information of Asuma Sarutobi, the Hokage Hatake Kakashi's advisor, Nara Shikaku, has a very powerful strategy, and he helped Kakashi to survive several crises! According to my judgment, this time, Konoha's counterattack strategy is likely to be the work of this person! "
"Oh? Nara … Konoha's famous clan. Rumor has it that they are good at planning. I didn't think much of it, but it seems that I was too short-sighted. So, as long as we can get rid of this Nara Shikaku, we will be able to take down Konoha. "
"But, the strategist usually hides in the rear, and it's difficult for us to reach him. The enemy is ninjas, and they have excellent perception …"
The commander shook the wine glass, and his narrow eyes flashed with light: "In the rear, besides the general, who else is there …"
The man under the table suddenly said: "Civilians!"
Bang!
The commander slammed the wine glass on the table: "Haha … It's time to use our backup plan! The ninjas would never dream that among our soldiers, there are also specially trained people who know how to use Chakra and Ninjutsu. At this moment, they are disguised as civilians and mixed in with them! "
"Although it's difficult for them to transmit information to the outside due to the limited conditions, but according to the secret signal, it's easy for them to receive military orders and execute them!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Clusters of fireworks jumped into the night sky and exploded rhythmically. The top secret signal of the Land of Fire's military was hidden in the rhythm of the fireworks explosion!
"So that's how it is, I was worried about how to pass the information that Hyuga brought a large number of civilians, and the order came from above. It doesn't matter, as long as we destroy the enemy's army, it won't be too late to crusade against them …" The spy hidden in the dark began to act.
He spread a message among the civilians.
"As long as we kill Shikaku Nara, the Land of Fire will be willing to accept us again!"
Shikaku and Kakashi discussed the next step until dawn.
"Shikaku, since we set off, you haven't closed your eyes. Go and rest, you are the head of our army. Even without me as the Hokage, we can't lose you as the strategist!"
"Even without me, there is still my son … But I really can't stand it anymore, so I'll just follow your orders."
Shikaku got up and walked into the tent where he was resting.
"Rumble!"
Then, the sound of explosion … alarmed everyone!
Kakashi and the others arrived and saw Shikaku Nara who was blown up beyond recognition!
"Shikaku!!!" Kakashi stepped forward and picked up Shikaku. He looked around and saw some explosive tags that were not ignited yet. "The previous explosion, the explosive tags … Such a clumsy method, it's not a ninja, it's a civilian!"
He suddenly turned around and glanced at the crowd behind him with his Sharingan. Several people trembled and avoided his gaze, and some lowered their heads …
It must be one of them, and there are many people who know about it!
Kakashi's eyes were filled with anger, and he was about to get up.
"Kakashi …" Shikaku raised his hand and grabbed Kakashi's wrist. "The more it's like this, the more you can't lose your calm. If there is no accident … the enemy is about to attack!"
After that, Shikaku's hand fell down powerlessly … The military strategist of Konoha was killed by civilians!
