Rustle!
Land of Fire, on the coastline.
A faint smell of blood filled the air, and noisy footsteps could be heard.
"Kill!"
Wood Leaf's morale was high as they chased after the retreating Mist Army.
During the chase, more than a dozen Mist ninjas were killed, and with a loud bang, a water curtain suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, blocking the pursuit of Konoha's ninjas.
I'm afraid that the Mist village has already prepared this method for their retreat.
"Da da da …"
The water curtain splashed down like rain, and in the blurred vision, the fog army gradually disappeared.
"What a bunch of cowards."
Looking at the direction where the Mist Army disappeared, Mike Guy snorted.
The Mist Army had more people than them, after all, Wood Leaf was fighting one against four, and most of the Mist Army was fighting against Kumo Shinobu and the Rock Army.
This was the fifth time in half a month.
Every time, the result was the same. After fighting with them for a while, the Mist Hidden Army would retreat.
Therefore, in the past half month, the casualty ratio between Konoha and the Mist has reached the point of one to three.
Quite a number of Mist ninjas were injured or killed during the retreat.
"Is that so?"
Not far from Mike Guy, Kakashi and Waterstop were looking at each other.
Looking at the overall strength of both sides, the gap between the Mist and Wood Leaf was very small.
They could use numbers to fight to the death, instead of fighting a war of attrition.
For the Mist, there was no advantage at all.
Because the longer the war dragged on, the more advantageous it would be for Wood Leaf.
After all, they were fighting on their own land, and the Mist Army crossed the sea.
Compared to Konoha, the Mist Village consumes a lot more in the transportation of materials.
The leader of the Mist Hidden Army, Zhao Mei Tian, would definitely understand such a simple logic, but why would he do such a thing?
Fugaku also frowned, he could see that Mei Tian wasn't a coward.
Every time he retreated, his eyes were filled with unwillingness.
Therefore, the real reason why the Mist Army did this wasn't because of Mei Tian's order.
Then there was only one answer.
The Third Mizukage.
The strongest Mizukage didn't appear on the battlefield, which was undoubtedly the most fortunate thing for Wood Leaf.
Otherwise, Hyuga Tianqi, Kato Duan, and Rope Tree might not be his opponent.
It's just that he didn't appear on the battlefield, but he also gave such a stupid order to the Mist Army.
As a Village Kage, he couldn't only have such ability and knowledge.
That's a character from the same period as the Second Hokage …
Fugaku.
"What do you think?"
Fugaku glanced sideways at the young ninja beside him with a hint of hope in his heart.
Last time, he was the one who analyzed the location of the Mist Army.
Shihisa also frowned and said: "I don't know what the purpose of the Mist Army is, but since they are so persevering, they don't have the slightest intention to give up the battle …"
"We still have to strengthen the sentries to avoid the last incident from happening again …"
Kuroto slowly exhaled a sigh of relief. If it weren't for Tsunade's antidote and Uchiha Yan's help, most of the people present would have already died under the Mist's sword.
Fugaku nodded and said: "Yes …"
Beside him, Shihisa noticed the murderous intent in his eyes.
Obviously, Fugaku still couldn't let go of the last incident.
The main reason was that the culprit of that incident was still at large.
After some investigation, it was determined that the person who poisoned Wood Leaf's Army was Sasori.
It's just that in the current situation, Wood Leaf didn't have the spare energy to arrest him.
In any case, he was the one who killed the Third Kazekage in the Sunagakure.
According to Watergate, Sasori also made the Third Kazekage into a special puppet that could use the abilities of the Kazekage when he was alive.
In this tricky village, even in today's Wood Leaf, there are only a few people who have the strength to catch him.
What they have to consider now is how to win this war …
.....
In the gloomy underground cave, the ground slowly crept, and a huge Nepenthes emerged from it.
The Nepenthes unfolded, revealing the figure of White Zetsu. The latter looked at the old man in front of him and said: "The Mist Army has been fighting according to your instructions for half a month."
"Well." Madara nodded gently and said: "Did you find out what I asked you to investigate?"
White Zetsu nodded and said: "Yes, Uchiha Obito, Kakashi, and other Konoha Shinobi on the Mist front, I have basically figured out the situation."
"Do you have a chance to do it?" Madara raised his eyes at this time, and his old eyes were bright.
"Of course, it's just a group of kids. They're not much stronger than the Uzumaki Shinna Kushina at that time …"
White Zetsu smiled with great confidence. Although he doesn't have a strong combat power, his special abilities are unique in the entire ninja world.
"Is it?"
Madara grinned, and there was a smile in his deep eyes, but for a moment, it was dark again.
"At that time … I didn't expect that Watergate could combine the mark of the Flying Thunder God in the Four Symbols Seal. That kid was only thirteen years old."
Madara's face was dark. He let White Zetsu sneak into the Wood Leaf village, kidnap Shinna Kushina, and pretended to inform Kumo Shinobu. He wanted to provoke the battle between Kumo Shinobu and Wood Leaf.
At least, he could make Wood Leaf lose the Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails, and their strength would be greatly reduced.
But he didn't expect that before Watergate left Wood Leaf, he combined the mark needed for space movement in Shinna Kushina's Four Symbols Seal.
Madara may not be able to do this.
In other words, Minato's attainments in the art of sealing were even higher than his.
But thinking about it, if he didn't have this ability, he would have been killed by Madara's trap in the Mist Village.
"Those kids are the disciples of Watergate, but this time, he can't save them …"
White Zetsu also smiled. Now Watergate is confronting the Third Raikage and others on the border of the Moon Country and can't leave.
Even if he is now the strongest in the ninja world, there is nothing he can do.
"Wood Leaf's Golden Flash …?"
Madara's eyes returned to indifference, and then he said to White Zetsu: "Get ready to implement our plan."
"Yes!" White Zetsu responded.
On Madara's old face, a very strange smile gradually emerged.
"What level can this kid reach? I'm looking forward to seeing … "
...

Watergate hasn't appeared recently. I know everyone misses him, but in order to promote the plot, I have to write something.
