Chapter 224: Countermeasures! Sand Village is here!
The Twenty-Seventh Division, led by Fujiwara Tetsuya!
The battle against over a hundred Amegakure Ninja!
Lasted only half an hour!
And ended with all the Amegakure Ninja, led by Kobuto, being wiped out!
Of course!
Konoha also suffered casualties!
To completely annihilate this enemy force!
Fujiwara Tetsuya lost three squads!
Even Yuhi Shinwa!
Suffered considerable injuries in the continuous battles!
"By squad, members with lighter injuries are to clear the battlefield and collect the bodies of our comrades!"
"Those with heavier injuries! And who feel it will affect subsequent battles, gather here, and I will treat you!"
This was probably the first time Fujiwara Tetsuya had to handle such a large-scale situation after mastering the Mystical Palm Technique!
Although it was quite taxing!
This extremely high-level Medical Ninjutsu!
Truly allowed Fujiwara Tetsuya to once again win over the hearts of his people!
"I never thought... Lord Tetsuya, he is also skilled in Medical Ninjutsu!"
"He truly lives up to his reputation as the chief Ninja of the Village's new generation…"
"A strong swordsman! Master of Lightning Release! Water Release! And the Mystical Palm Technique based on Yang Release!… I truly look forward to seeing how far Lord Tetsuya will go in the future!"
Among the thirteen Konoha divisions scattered across the Land of Rain!
Not every division!
Had the same combat power and luck as the Twenty-Seventh Division!
And the presence of Fujiwara Tetsuya, the transmigator!
After the news of Kobuto and his subordinates' complete annihilation was confirmed and spread!
The Ninja stationed in Amegakure!
Also began their bloody retaliation!
For revenge!
Amegakure even went so far as to sacrifice two or three squads as bait!
To lure Konoha Ninja divisions!
Under this insane strategy!
In just a few days!
Several Konoha Ninja divisions suffered heavy losses, or were even completely wiped out!
For a time!
The war in the Land of Rain was pushed to its peak!
...The front lines of the Land of Rain border!
Perhaps it was after Konoha Ninja set foot in the Land of Rain!
Too many Ninja and civilians had died!
Too much blood had stained this land!
Which also made the weather in the Land of Rain increasingly harsh!
Amegakure Camp!
With the rear supply lines disrupted!
Whether it was in personnel replenishment or Ninja equipment replenishment!
Difficulties gradually arose!
So much so that Hanzō himself had to personally step forward to stabilize morale!
Although the high-ranking officials led by Hanzō!
Also adopted Konoha's infiltration strategy!
Continuously dispatching elite squads to harass Konoha's rear transport routes!
The results were not as satisfactory!
With Konoha's new round of personnel replenishment in place!
Orochimaru had far more available manpower than Hanzō!
Coupled with the support from the Land of Fire!
Even if the convoys transporting Ninja equipment were attacked by raiding Amegakure Ninja squads!
Konoha! The Land of Fire!
Still had the absolute power!
To send new Ninja equipment back to the front lines within a few days!
This is the difference between a strong nation and a weak nation!
The difference between the Five Great Ninja Villages and other Ninja Villages!
"Lord Hanzō!"
"Hmm! It's Inmemaru!"
"What's wrong! Have Konoha Ninja come to cause trouble again!"
Hanzō's tent! Was even more spacious than Orochimaru's, who was Konoha's front-line commander!
However, unlike Orochimaru!
Inside Hanzō's tent!
Both the decor and the arrangement of ordinary items!
Were many levels shabbier than what Orochimaru had!
From this, one could also see!
Just how dire Amegakure's situation was now!
"No! Lord Hanzō!"
"It's not Konoha Ninja…"
Although the current war between Amegakure and Konoha was not ideal!
This did not affect Hanzō's god-like status in Inmemaru's heart!
"It's people from Sunagakure!"
"The Third Kazekage sent an ANBU Squad!"
"Hmph! Sunagakure, huh!"
Before he and Amegakure had fully risen!
The Land of Rain had received a lot of 'attention' from the Land of Wind and Sunagakure!
Therefore!
Hanzō's impression of Sunagakure was not good!
"Never mind! Since those people have come! I should at least meet them!"
"I want to see! What exactly are the Third Kazekage and those bastards from Sunagakure's high command planning!"
"Inmemaru, bring the Sunagakure Anbu to me!"
As the Amekage (Rain Shadow) and a demigod of the Ninja World!
Hanzō had absolute confidence in his own strength!
However!
Facing Sunagakure, which also belonged to the Five Great Nations!
Necessary deterrence was still indispensable!
Therefore! The accompanying personnel, besides Inmemaru!
Also included Saito… and more than ten Amegakure powerhouses!
Almost the moment the Sunagakure Anbu stepped into the tent!
Invisible surges of aura, like rushing ocean currents!
Madly pressed down on the four Sunagakure Anbu!
"Lord… Lord Hanzō! Is this Amegakure's… hospitality!"
Facing the heavy pressure!
The Anbu captain at the head of the group felt that even speaking was an extremely difficult task!
At this moment, he finally understood!
Why, when he volunteered to come and meet Hanzō!
His fellow Anbu colleagues and seniors!
Had shown such strange looks!
"I didn't expect Sunagakure to have someone as perceptive as you!"
"That's right! This is Amegakure's hospitality!"
Facing the Sunagakure Anbu's interrogation!
Hanzō chuckled softly! Without the slightest hint of anger!
Instead, he agreed, going along with the Anbu's words!
"You… Your actions, sir! Are truly unbecoming of a Village Kage's demeanor!"
After being half-choked by Hanzō's reply!
The Sunagakure Anbu took a long time!
Before finally calming down!
Although there was anger in his heart!
Due to the disparity in strength!
He ultimately dared not provoke Hanzō's tiger fangs!
"Alright! Stop saying such pointless things!"
"After all! If you weren't here as the Third Kazekage's envoy!"
"You would never have the chance to speak with this old man in your lifetime!"
"Sunagakure Anbu! Tell me! What is the Third Kazekage's purpose in sending you to see me at this time!"
With a wave of Hanzō's hand!
The Amegakure powerhouses on both sides also withdrew their auras!
As the Sunagakure ANBU Squad breathed a sigh of relief!
They couldn't help but greedily gulp down fresh air!
"Our Sunagakure is willing to assist Amegakure in fighting Konoha!"
"As long as Lord Hanzō agrees to an alliance between Amegakure and Sunagakure!"
"Within ten days at most! Lord Third Kazekage will lead a large Ninja army into the Land of Rain to assist Lord Hanzō in defeating the Konoha Ninja opposite us!"
Perhaps it was due to his nature!
After escaping that terrifying pressure!
The leading Sunagakure Anbu began to act cocky again!
If it weren't for the mask obscuring his face!
That kind of arrogance and conceit would probably have already shown on his face!
"Alliance?"
"Assist Amegakure in fighting Konoha?"
"That brat, the Third Kazekage! What big words!"
After a brief moment of thought!
Hanzō also understood the Third Kazekage's intentions!
As he sneered, his eyes instantly grew cold!
