Chapter 164: Post-War Reflections and Preparations for World War II

The main force of the Sand Village has retreated along the way they came.

Chiyo sent someone to count the number of people, and when she got the report, she took a breath.

"There are still 4,700 people left, and we just lost 300 people?"

"Yes!" The person who came to report was her disciple, named Qiu Shi, who was proficient in poison techniques and medical ninjutsu, but he also played puppetry.

Of course, this proficiency in medical ninjutsu is in the context of the Sand Village. If it were Konoha, she would only be a bystander when the attending physician performed the operation.

Qiu Shi said: "I also think there are some problems with this data, so I checked the numbers twice myself, and there was no abnormality in the results before and after!"

"Hiss" Chiyo took another breath: "How long have we been fighting?"

From the start of the battle between Minato and Ye Cang to the retreat of the main force, it may not exceed ten minutes in total, but the vanguard of less than 150 people on the opposite side killed 300 of them?

And Chiyo saw clearly from behind that the one who killed the most was Minato Namikaze!

Before, I didn't know his fighting power and fighting style, which led to the formation of the Sand Village ninjas being too dense. After Minato rushed in, the Sand Village ninjas almost fell one by one!

"Call Ye Cang over!" Chiyo said coldly.

A moment later, Ye Cang, who had a simple bandage on his neck and a circle of gauze hanging on his neck, ran over.

As soon as she saw Ye Cang's eyes, Chiyo's heart sank.

Since this child awakened the Burning Release, he has been acting like the king is the first and the father is the second. No one in the entire Sand Village is convinced.

So that she has a very bad reputation in the Sand Village and has almost no friends.

Fortunately, Ye Cang is a woman, and a great beauty. Many people will fall in love with her because of her beauty.

This kind of personality is of course not good, but if Ye Cang can continue to be so strong, it is not impossible.

As a strong man, of course, he must have the temperament of believing in himself and being the only one.

Why is the old Yinbi annoying? It is because of his strong strength, but he is timid and likes to secretly Yin people, which does not conform to the public's perception of a strong man.

But now, Chiyo found that the proud light in Ye Cang's eyes was gone!

Originally, she called Ye Cang over to scold him, but she swallowed the words when they came to her lips.

After a long time, Chiyo asked: "You have fought with Minato, how strong is this man? Is he too strong, or are you careless?"

When it comes to Minato, Ye Cang shuddered and immediately said: "How could he be too strong? It's obviously my carelessness. Give me another chance, I will definitely not lose!"

"Okay!" Chiyo shook her head, I asked in vain.

"How is your neck?" Chiyo asked again.

"It's still some distance from the throat, I won't die!" Ye Cang said viciously: "Next time I meet him, I must fight back this move!"

You are playing Scorch Escape, how to fight back?

Chiyo didn't ask, sometimes you still have to give your subordinates some face.

She waved her hand to let Ye Cang leave, and turned her head and said, "Please ask Luo Sha to come over!"

A moment later, Qiu Shi came back: "Report to the elder, Lord Luo Sha has gone back first!"

"What!" Chiyo's eyes widened.

"Someone saw him holding Jialuo and walking in front. He should have returned to Fengcheng, where there is our Sand Village's medical base!!" Qiu Shi said honestly.

"This bastard!" Chiyo gritted her teeth.

What is this? Although I am the leader of this unit, you Luo Sha can be regarded as a general!

And because of your status as a candidate for the Kazekage, I don't know how many people are watching you!

As a result, you fled directly in the face of the battle because your lover was injured?

At that time, the whole army had already pressed on. Chiyo focused on the overall situation and really didn't see how Jialuo was injured.

Now there is only resentment towards Luo Sha, pity his misfortune and anger at his lack of struggle.

A ninja who escaped from the battlefield, who would obey such a senior ninja?

And Ye Cang is also a loser, with a completely wrong mentality, and he doesn't even have the heart to correctly assess the strength of his opponent. How can such a person lead the Sand Village?

The two who confronted Minato head-on are useless, so Chiyo can only investigate other ninjas who have fought with Minato and survived, and slowly piece together a real Namikaze Minato.

The wind escape chakra attribute changes very quickly, so that even though it is the same wind escape, Minato's wind escape can cut off the wind escape of their Sand Village ninja.

In addition, his wind escape can cut kunai and puppets. In the short fight, nothing that can resist his wind escape was found.

Observe minutely and react very quickly. When killing in the crowd, it's not that no one has tried to throw poison needles and use puppets to sneak attack, but it doesn't work at all.

This person is like opening the Sharingan and the Byakugan at the same time. Not only is his dynamic vision amazing, but he can even keep looking back to observe the situation behind him, achieving a low-profile 360° vision.

His physical skills were also amazing. Although the ninjas he faced were all ninjutsu ninjas, the ninjas who could stand in the front row were naturally not mediocre. Most of them were jonins, and some were puppeteers who controlled puppets.

As a result, these people were completely no match for Minato's physical skills, and they couldn't even hold on for a round and were killed instantly.

This means that Minato is not only powerful, agile, and has amazing observation skills, but also has the pinnacle of physical skills.

"Another Hatake Sakumo!" Chiyo is really familiar with this type of ninja.

Isn't Hatake Sakumo just like this? He rushed into the crowd with his speed, holding an indestructible short sword in his hand.

The extreme speed combined with the extreme sharpness is simply invincible!

Because of Hatake Sakumo, Chiyo has also studied ways to fight against this kind of ninja.

The best way is naturally to train a similar ninja to fight against him.

But this kind of ninja is not something you can train just because you want to. This is not a problem of resources at all, it is talent!

This is not even a talent that is one in ten thousand, it may be one in a hundred thousand!

Chiyo tried it, and then gave up quickly.

The second trick is a large-scale ninjutsu, or poison technique.

Chiyo also prepared such a ninjutsu, but heard that Hatake Sakumo had committed suicide, so she thought that this technique was no longer useful.

I didn't expect that after Hatake Sakumo died, there came another Namikaze Minato!

Chiyo gnashed her teeth with jealousy. How can Konoha always have such a genius?

The key is that these are not geniuses from the ninja clan. Judging from their surnames, they are either from common people or from poor families.

We also have common people in the Sand Village, so why don’t we have such geniuses?

Looking back, Chiyo asked, "Have the Konoha ninjas caught up?"

She is old, her eyesight is not very good, and she can’t see far.

"No, they are behind us, about ten miles away from us!" Qiu Shi investigated and said, "In addition, our people can’t get closer, or they will be killed by Minato!"

"Damn it." Chiyo understood what the Konoha ninja meant.

The Konoha vanguard has only so many people, and it is already very good to be able to rush in with the advantage of intelligence.

Now that Minato’s intelligence has been exposed, it is unrealistic to imagine rushing to hundreds of people like just now.

It is better to keep a distance and press step by step.

It will not only prevent them from getting a rest, but also ensure that the Sand Village troops are always under the surveillance of the Konoha ninjas.

There may be other benefits. For example, even if Chiyo wants to plunder the town, he can't take away bulk supplies such as food and weapons. Everyone can only carry some gold and silver.

"You really think you can beat me!" Chiyo's eyes flashed fiercely, and asked: "Are there any towns near the front?"

"Yes!" Qiushi nodded: "There is a Xitang Town on the left side of this road, 40 kilometers away from us. The only problem is that this town has a city wall!"

Cities in the ninja world generally have no city walls, even border cities.

Because the city wall is useless to ninjas: ninjas can jump directly into the five or six-meter city wall, and ninjas can run up the higher city wall by stepping on the city wall.

So even if "Honghuang" is circulated in the ninja world, and there are a lot of siege cases in it, no city is stupid enough to learn the stories in the book and build a city wall for its own town.

When Chiyo heard that a small town actually had a city wall, she was stunned at first, and then laughed.

"Why is the elder laughing?" Qiushi asked.

"I laugh at the stupidity of the Xitang town residents. They obviously don't have ninjas, but they built a city wall. Isn't this just making wedding dresses for me?" Even if ordinary people have a city wall, they can't do anything to ninjas.

But it's different when ninjas guard the city wall.

At least they are in a high position, and the attacking party has the advantage whether it is spitting ninjutsu or throwing kunai.

Chiyo originally planned to retreat all the way back to the Kingdom of Rivers, plunder and then retreat to the Kingdom of Winds.

Then the main battlefield was placed in the Kingdom of Winds.

This is also the usual fighting style of the Sand Village, just like the nomadic peoples raiding the grass valley, grab a wave and leave.

In this way, even if I lose the battle, at least I win from the perspective of money.

This is how poor the village is.

But now, Chiyo has another idea.

Take down Xitang Town, and then fight Konoha again.

The main reason is that the first defeat was too tragic, and now the morale of the army is a little turbulent.

She didn't ask for much to win in the second game, as long as she had a slight advantage, and then boasted about the strength of the opponent, telling everyone that our victory was hard-won, the morale of the army could be stabilized.

In view of the failure of the first game, Chiyo also reflected and admitted that she had not thought it through.

This time she still thought rigorously.

First, I still have 4,700 troops.

Second, I have the city wall to help defend.

Third, I already know the information about Minato Namikaze, and I will not give you the opportunity to charge.

Finally, the opponent has only 150 people.

Knowing yourself and the enemy, and with the blessing of the terrain, Chiyo really can't think of how she can lose!

With determination in her heart, Chiyo immediately ordered: "Everyone, turn, target Xitang Town!"

"Eh?" Just after giving the order, Chiyo was shocked to find that there was a road leading to Xitang Town next to this road.

Although it is not wider than the main road, it is also a first-class road in the Kingdom of Wind.

Chiyo was so excited. There was actually a ready-made road for me to walk on. This was really like God was helping me!

Watch me fight Konoha again and avenge my previous defeat!
