...The slaughter continued, and the battle raged from early morning until midday.
Under the continuous killing, the system's notification sound in Fujiwara Tetsuya's mind hardly stopped.
"Cough~"
"Damn it, hold them back...hold back these bastards, for the future of Hidden Sand Village..."
"Future? What future?"
"From the day you decided to declare war on Konoha...Hidden Sand Village was destined to have no future."
As he whispered, Fujiwara Tetsuya's figure appeared behind the Sunagakure commander.
His katana slashed horizontally, cutting the person directly in half.
"Damn it, Lord Sharumaru..."
"Lord Sharumaru..."
"Don't rush, next...it's your turn."
Looking at the agitated Sunagakure Ninja, the chill in Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes grew even colder.
"Ice Release: Ice Dragon Swirling Tail!"
..."Gulp~"
"Is this really...the strength a kid this age can possess?"
Not far away, Kato Dan, after using the Spirit Transformation Jutsu in conjunction with Akimichi Torifu to kill a Sunagakure Elite Jonin, turned to look at the ice layer radiating an endless chill, and secretly swallowed.
"Dan, the era is like a torrent, constantly moving forward."
"If you keep looking at things with the eyes of the past...you'll be left behind."
"The combat power that kid is displaying right now, strictly speaking...is not his full potential."
"The environment of the Land of Rivers restricts Tetsuya-kun's performance..."
After successively killing dozens of Sunagakure Ninja, Tsunade seemed to have regained her usual composure...her eyes gleamed with wisdom.
"That being said, I still feel...Tetsuya's bloodlust seems a bit too intense."
"Dan, you don't understand the boy's capacity. In my opinion...Tetsuya-kun has the potential to surpass all previous Kage."
Amidst Tsunade and Kato Dan's whispers, Sakumo Hatake and Ebizo's battle finally reached a conclusion.
Or rather, this outcome was destined the moment Ebizo decided to hide his human puppets.
"Boom~~"
Amidst the urgent sound of rushing air, Ebizo, who had exhausted all his puppets, was sent flying by a single Iai slash from Sakumo Hatake.
He injured countless Sunagakure Ninja along the way...and finally managed to stabilize himself with the help of two Jonin.
"Lord Ebizo..."
"Cough~~ Ugh..."
After spitting out several mouthfuls of clotted blood, Ebizo's formidable aura suddenly vanished without a trace, his face pale and weak, like an old man on the verge of death.
"Lord Ebizo...we can't hold them back."
"Tsunade...Fujiwara Tetsuya, Kato Dan...these people are too powerful; we can't stop them."
..."Lift your heads. There's no shame in losing to the enemy, as long as we give our all, we are worthy of ourselves, worthy of the Village..."
"Cough~~~"
"Order all squads to withdraw from combat immediately. For Hidden Sand Village to achieve ultimate victory in this war, we must preserve enough fighting strength..."
After being defeated by Sakumo Hatake, Ebizo seemed to lose all his spirit.
Looking at the countless severed limbs in the Sunagakure Camp, he gradually came to terms with reality.
Without enough high-level combat power to support them, he alone...simply couldn't reverse this desperate reality.
"Lord Ebizo..."
As the retreat horn sounded, countless Sunagakure Ninja lowered their heads with dejected expressions.
With this retreat, they didn't know how long it would be before they could once again set foot in the Land of Rivers and covet the fertile Land of Fire, far from the sandstorms.
"They're retreating...they're retreating, the Sunagakure Ninja are retreating..."
Compared to the dejection of the Sunagakure Ninja, the exhilarated Konoha Ninja were like two extremes.
They had held out in the Land of Rivers for so long, and this day...they had finally waited for it.
"Long live Lord Sakumo!"
"Long live Lady Tsunade!"
"Long live Lord Tetsuya!"
After suffering hundreds of casualties, the remaining Konoha Ninja on the battlefield numbered less than nine hundred...yet the cheers from these nine hundred people were still like thunder in a clear sky...generating endless sound waves, echoing for a long time, their reverberations never ceasing.
After all the Sunagakure Ninja had retreated westward, Sakumo Hatake, Kato Dan, Tsunade...Fujiwara Tetsuya, all the leaders of the Konoha front-line camp, gathered together again.
"What should we do? Should we send out some squads to pursue?"
"No, let them rest. Winning this battle has already exhausted everything they had."
Facing Kato Dan's question, Sakumo Hatake slowly shook his head after pondering for a few seconds.
Although Ebizo had been severely wounded by him, becoming a toothless tiger for a short time, the main force of Sunagakure was still intact, and in terms of sheer numbers, they still outnumbered the Ninja under their control.
They were fully capable of launching an ambush...and counterattack.
Continuing the pursuit would entail too great a risk.
"Dan-senpai, leave the pursuit to me!"
"I will personally 'escort' them back to the Land of Wind..."
Just as Sakumo Hatake made his decision, Fujiwara Tetsuya turned and stepped forward, stroking kirimaru at his waist, a strange glint in his eyes.
In his opinion, the main force of Sunagakure had now become a frightened bird.
They would be unable to regroup into a force capable of threatening him in a short time...This timing, for him, was undoubtedly the best opportunity to harvest Slaughter Points.
"Tetsuya... Never mind, it seems you've made up your mind."
"In that case, leave the pursuit of the Sunagakure Ninja to me."
"However, remember one thing: never underestimate the enemy and advance rashly... After all, no one can be sure if Hidden Sand Village still has other hidden trump cards."
Looking at Fujiwara Tetsuya's calm expression, Sakumo Hatake sighed helplessly... After giving a brief warning, he shook his head and walked away.
Because he knew that a stubborn "kid" like Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't be persuaded by an old man like him.
"Then, farewell, Senior Tsunade, Dan-senpai, Torifu-senpai..."
"I imagine that by the time I return, you should have already set off for Konoha."
"Tetsuya-kun, wait for me, I'll go with you..."
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya was about to sneak away, Uchiha Mikoto, who had heard from "someone" that he was going to pursue the Sunagakure Ninja, quickly walked over... "Hiss~~~"
"Mikoto, don't twist my waist... Ow~ Ow~ Ow!"
"Believe me, I really didn't hide anything from you, or plan to go alone..."
"Just now, I was just about to go find you..."
"Wait, there are so many people here, Ow~ Ow~ Ow."
