Two hours later, Hokage's office. Summit 23S.

Fastest update

"Hokage-sama, it's not good!" Kaima hurriedly pushed open the door, took two steps in three steps, held a pile of documents in his hand, and trotted up to the Third Hokage anxiously.

The Third Hokage put down the soup bowl in his hand. When he saw the sweat on his forehead and panting, he frowned and asked: "What's wrong?"

When the words were spoken, the Third Hokage's sitting posture also changed from a reclining chair to sitting upright.

Huima took a breath, handed the document in his hand to the Third Hokage, and said: "Our bait plan has collapsed. Both groups of people were ambushed, and the enemies included Kumogakure and Iwagakure, and even Kumogakure and Iwagakure.

There is still a possibility of uniting against the enemy."

Hearing Homa's report, the Third Hokage was also stunned. He quickly opened the file and read it. While reading, he asked: "How is the situation and how much is the loss?"

"Now all the enemy ninjas in ambush have been wiped out. A total of more than 80 enemy ninjas have been wiped out. We have lost 3 elite jounin, 5 jounin, 19 elite chunin, and 3 ordinary chuunin. A total of forty-four.

Thirty people were lost during the decoy operation. Commander-in-Chief Kenshin Watanabe returned safely." Huima hurriedly opened his mouth and extracted the important loss-related information from this pile of documents.

And when he said these words, he seemed to have thought of something: "The opponent lost 7 elite jounin, 12 jounin, and several elite chunin. Fortunately, it did not cause any chaos, because the battle was all outside the village, so the village

It has no impact whatsoever,”

Hearing this, the Third Hokage's brows furrowed even more tightly, not because the village was fine at all, and the opponent could be regarded as completely wiped out. In terms of losses, the opponent's losses were worse than his own. However, the Third Hokage still felt that the gains were not worth the losses.

The purpose of this bait plan is to draw out the enemy ninjas hiding around the village and annihilate them all.

However, in the current situation, I don’t know if there is a total annihilation. The village’s losses are also huge. Three elite jounin and five jounin are very effective for the tight manpower of the village’s defense and the ongoing strategic adjustment.

influence.

Next, the village no longer has the manpower to attack, so it can only defend. Of course, people can be transferred from the front line, but the role of the front line troops is not just for confrontation, but their strength must also be guaranteed if the Kingdom of Earth really wants to attack.

If you come here, you can fully defend yourself.

Even if the alliance of the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Earth comes to attack, they must ensure that they can block their progress and buy time for the village's think tank to come up with a solution. Moreover, in the process of resisting, they must also ensure that the troops have enough time to carry out some operations.

Strategic adjustment ensures that adjustments can be made after the think tank comes up with a solution.

If you are stretched thin, even if you have a good strategy, you will not be able to make adjustments.

Furthermore, the frontline troops are also very sensitive troops. Even some small arrangements are now made carefully for fear of being known by the opponent. Every time they are dispatched, enough cover-ups must be set up to prevent the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Thunder from becoming suspicious. In the end,

Discover something, or overreact or something, leading to a direct war.

This is one of the reasons why Shikaku left the village to take command on the front line.

Now the dispatch of the troops cannot be done casually. All aspects must be considered. In fact, the Third Hokage also considered bringing back Watanabe Kenshin. After all, Watanabe Kenshin has just emerged and has limited experience. It is safer to go to Nara.

Shikaku has to deal with it.

As for Watanabe Kenshin, who was transferred back, he will accumulate experience in the village and put it to good use when the time comes.

But I didn't expect...

The Third Hokage looked at the mission report on the file with a slight sigh on his face.

Could it be that I was too anxious or misjudged the wrong person? Qianxin did these things indeed...

When the Third Hokage saw the end of the file, his expression suddenly changed and he blurted out: "What happened to Chiba?"

Hearing this, Huma frowned and said: "Chiba was seriously injured and seemed to have gone to rescue Nogo, Aso Sasuke and Kusunoki Masaru, the three "bait" personnel. When they were discovered by Watanabe Kenshin,

He has killed more than a dozen enemy ninjas, and at the same time, he has reached his limit."

"Now!" the Third Hokage said anxiously.

"He has been sent to Konoha Hospital and is being treated by Watanabe Hiroshi, who has just been transferred back. He is currently being rescued." Huima said with concern.

"Save Guanye and the others? What's going on?" The Third Hokage frowned.

"It seems that our decoy operation and the subsequent supplementary operation in Chiba failed. There was a big change, but what the change was, Watanabe Kenshin didn't know, and neither did the other plan participants. I

I believe that Qianye is not a child who acts arbitrarily, there must be some major changes that force him to do this." Huo Jian said, and in the middle of his words, he began to excuse Qianye.

After all, Chiba's mission is not to rescue Guan Ye and others, but to attract the attention of other enemies.

An accident?

After hearing Huoma's words, the Third Hokage groaned.

Indeed, Chiba must have his reasons for doing this. After all, I didn't expect that Iwagakure and Kumogakure would appear in this place, and even Kumogakure would have a tendency to cooperate.

Chiba cannot be blamed for this matter, but Kenshin Watanabe cannot be blamed too much. After all, the plan has changed and we do not have detailed information.

"No matter what, we must rescue Chiba and give Watanabe a message. He can use all the medical resources in the village." The Third Hokage said: "The security of the village needs to be strengthened. The elite troops have a day off.

Be on alert as usual tomorrow."

"yes!"

Huoma nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

He was also very anxious. The famous ninja who brought him back to Chiba used the word "rescue" to describe Chiba's situation. It can be seen that Chiba's situation is very critical. I'm afraid there will be some danger during the battle with Yeyue.

A fight.

The Hokage asked him to go and inform Watanabe Hiroshi, and he happened to go check on Chiba's situation.

At this moment, the Hokage spoke again.

"How are these three children, Guan Ye? Qianye, have they been rescued?"

Huo Jian was stunned for a moment, a trace of sadness flashed across his expression, and he said in a deep voice: "They were all sacrificed."

Hearing this, the Third Hokage took a slight breath, frowned and closed his eyes, exhaled for a while, and said: "Is that so? I understand, you go and do things first."

"yes!"

Huo Ma turned around and left.

After Huma left, the Third Hokage leaned on the armchair tiredly.

I bear the unshakable responsibility for the death of these three children!
Chapter completed!
