Chapter 237: Follow for seven days! Let me deliver the declaration of war?
To earn Uchiha Mikoto's forgiveness!
Fujiwara Tetsuya followed Uchiha Mikoto for seven days straight!
Finally, Torune Ryoui couldn't stand it anymore!
She forcibly dragged Uchiha Mikoto to shake hands and make up!
Only then did Fujiwara Tetsuya receive a grudging forgiveness!
However, in the end,
Uchiha Mikoto still gave Fujiwara Tetsuya a warning in advance!
That is:
If such a thing happens again,
She will definitely go with Fujiwara Tetsuya!
If they win, everything will be fine!
If they lose,
She will definitely kill him herself before the enemy does!
Though it's unclear what kind of thought process this was,
But thinking of the Uchiha surname,
Fujiwara Tetsuya could only grit his teeth and agree!
...As the battle between Konoha and Hidden Rain's main forces intensified,
Fujiwara Tetsuya, in the infirmary,
Saw large numbers of Ninja dying every day!
One after another, severely wounded comrades entered the infirmary!
However, compared to these,
What Fujiwara Tetsuya cared about more was
The Twenty-Seventh Division he commanded!
Sato Aowa, Maruko... several people had died in battle!
Now, the Twenty-Seventh Division, besides him, Yuhi Shinwa, and Uchiha Mikoto,
Only six people, including Uno Sae, remained!
Barely forming two combat squads!
Perhaps Fujiwara Tetsuya's actions thoroughly enraged Hanzo!
In this battle,
The Hidden Rain high-ranking officials, led by Hanzo, showed no signs of stopping!
Judging by their stance, they were determined to fight until the last drop of Hidden Rain's blood!
Of course, Konoha was not just passively responding!
Perhaps the changes in the Land of Rain allowed the high-ranking officials in Konoha Village to see an opportunity to end the war!
Gritting their teeth, they once again drew 1,500 elite Ninja from the Village and sent them to the front lines!
At least, for now,
Konoha had surpassed Hidden Rain in terms of Ninja numbers!
The smoke of the decisive battle had already spread throughout the entire Land of Rain!
After another four days of recuperating in the infirmary,
Fujiwara Tetsuya's right arm finally healed!
And he could finally escape this tent full of herbal smells!
..."Tetsuya!"
"Lord Tetsuya!"
Upon seeing Fujiwara Tetsuya rejoin the combat ranks,
Whether it was Yuhi Shinwa or Uno Sae and the others,
They all felt a strange sense of peace!
It seemed that in that instant, they had recovered from the grief of their comrades' departure!
"You all... have worked hard during this time!"
"The rest... leave it to me!"
Looking directly at those slightly weary faces,
Fujiwara Tetsuya subconsciously gripped kirimaru!
In the evening,
To arrange for the decisive battle,
Orochimaru summoned all the main members of the front-line command in his tent!
Perhaps because of the two surprise attacks on Hidden Rain Village,
Fujiwara Tetsuya and Yuhi Shinwa were lucky enough to get a spot to observe!
"Orochimaru! Everyone is here, we can start!"
Perhaps the pressure faced these days was too great,
Even Kage-level experts like Senior Jiraiya appeared exceptionally solemn at this moment!
"Everyone! The situation we are facing now, I believe everyone understands!"
"However, before officially assigning tasks,"
"There is one thing I need to tell everyone!"
"Just six days ago, Hidden Sand Village once again dispatched a large number of reinforcements to the Land of Rivers!"
"Due to a lack of troops, Senior Sakumo Hatake had no choice but to shrink the defense line and adopt a strategy of holding firm and counterattacking!"
"The Village... is currently under immense pressure!"
"Hidden Rain here cannot be dragged out any longer!"
"We must end this war completely in a very short time!"
Meeting Orochimaru's gaze,
Everyone's expressions gradually became serious!
Once Hidden Sand Village broke through the defense line built by Sakumo Hatake,
Without sufficient support,
It would only be a matter of time before Hidden Sand's army reached Konoha...
"Please give your orders, Lord Orochimaru... Even if it costs us our lives, we will completely end this war!"
The war arrangements continued late into the night!
Facing an expert like Hanzo, who defied normal understanding,
In the very end,
The core high-ranking officials, led by Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade,
Chose a beheading operation!
Besides the three Kage-level experts, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade,
There were also three hundred elite Ninja carefully selected by the command!
Different from regular combat forces,
These three hundred elite Ninja basically came from various Shinobi Clans!
Such as the Kurama Clan, Yuhi Clan, Senju Clan, Hyuga Clan, Yamanaka Clan, Nara Clan... and so on!
It can be said that,
To deal with Hanzo,
The three, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, had committed over half of the experts from the front-line camp!
...Hidden Rain Camp!
While the Konoha people were discussing the details of the decisive battle,
Hanzo also summoned Hidden Rain's high-ranking officials, led by Saito!
Although it's unclear what exactly they conspired,
There was one thing:
After the meeting ended,
All the Ninja in the entire Hidden Rain Camp evacuated the camp overnight and retreated to a position thirty li away to establish a battle line!
The losses of mid-to-high-level combat power finally made Hanzo put down his arrogance!
And start considering terrain factors!
Because the actions were secretive,
Coupled with the front-line reconnaissance squads constantly disrupting the vision of Konoha's reconnaissance squads,
The news of Hidden Rain's main camp being emptied
Did not reach Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and others until noon the next day,
After multiple confirmations!
"Orochimaru! You said Hanzo... could he be up to some trick!"
Hidden Rain Camp!
When Orochimaru and Jiraiya led the Konoha Ninja army to this place, an uneasy feeling immediately arose in their hearts!
"Jiraiya! Calm down!"
"This matter is not as complicated as you think!"
"Perhaps Hanzo has his own calculations!"
"But we... aren't we already prepared... aren't we!"
"What we need to do now is to confirm the position of Hidden Rain's main force and force Hanzo into a decisive battle!"
With the Hyuga, Aburame, and Inuzuka Clans in the Village,
Confirming the position of Hidden Rain's main force was simply an incredibly easy task!
After confirming the location where Hidden Rain's main force had settled,
Orochimaru led Konoha's main Ninja army and re-established camp at a position twenty li from Hidden Rain's defense line!
And after everything was settled,
He sent someone to deliver a declaration of war!
"Senior Jiraiya... you guys aren't mistaken, are you!"
"You want me to go to Hidden Rain Camp to deliver a declaration of war?"
Inside the tent where the Twenty-Seventh Division was stationed!
Fujiwara Tetsuya looked at the declaration of war handed to him by Jiraiya... issued by Orochimaru in the name of Konoha's commander to Hanzo!
His mouth twitched several times!
His eyes still held various doubts!
Given what he had done to Hidden Rain Village,
Sending him to deliver a declaration of war!
What was the difference between that and sending him to his death?
Although the current Hanzo had not yet been consumed by the desire for power!
And still possessed a magnanimity that few could match!
But to tie his own life to such an ethereal thing,
Fujiwara Tetsuya always felt it was a bit too much like child's play!
