Chapter 356: Heavy casualties Fujidan's consideration of brothers asking for the country of waves
After a long period of anxiety, near dusk, Ebizo led the main force of the Sand Village with heavy casualties and finally retreated.
Although at the end of the battle, Ebizo was slightly better and severely damaged Kato Dan and Akimichi Tofu.
But during this stalemate, hundreds of elite teams that broke out also rushed into the Sand Village camp after suffering huge casualties.
With the belief of not caring about life and death, more than a dozen Konoha teams forcibly killed through the defense of Sand Village and burned all the ninja supplies in the Sand Village camp.
This is also the reason why Ebizo had to choose to retreat when he saw victory in his grasp.
…
"Have the casualties been counted?"
Until late at night, the entire Konoha camp was still shrouded in a low atmosphere... At the back of the camp, the painful wailing and groaning never stopped.
In the tent, Kato Dan was wrapped in bandages all over his body. Looking at an elite jonin who had just walked in, his voice seemed a little weak.
"Yes, my lords, the casualties have been preliminarily counted..."
"In today's battle, we lost three elite jonin, 13 jonin, 33 elite chunins, 157 chunins, and more than 200 genins in the front area of the camp alone..."
"In addition, of the 107 teams that carried out the breakout and attack mission... 428 people, only 103 have returned so far."
"Only 103 people will come?"
Listening to the report of the elite jonin, Kato Dan and Akimichi Tofu felt dizzy and clenched their fists subconsciously.
Since the beginning of the war, the ninjas in the front camp of Kawanokuni have been supplemented more or less.
But the number of ninjas has basically remained between 2,400 and 2,600.
The casualties in the past two days alone...exceeded one-third of the total number of Konoha ninjas in the Kawanokuni camp.
"Well...thank you for your hard work, these situationsWe all understand, and we will report to the village in time."
"Also, have people pay close attention to the movements outside the camp, and send out elite teams to pick up the returning assault team if necessary."
"Yes~but..."
Perhaps because he noticed the fatigue of Kato Dan and Akimichi Tofu, the elite jonin in front of him hesitated.
"Anything else?"
"Yes!"
"One thing is that the ninjas of the Senju clan have not returned yet..."
"Just now, I also sent people to ask the members of the ninja team who have returned. On the way to the mission, they did not see Senju Seidou and Senju Nawaki."
"You mean... Seidou and Nawaki may have been in trouble? "
Hearing the other party mention Senju Naoshu, Kato Dan instantly became alert... and his expression gradually became extremely solemn.
As Tsunade's only lover, he knew better than anyone how important Naoshu was in Tsunade's heart and in the entire Senju clan... "Senior Qufeng, you stay here..."
"I will lead several teams to search for Xingdou and Naoshu's whereabouts."
Under worry, Kato Dan did not give Akimichi Qufeng a chance to react. He casually gave an instruction and turned around and left the tent.
...
At some point, the sky was gradually filled with dark clouds, and the howling wind was like a fallen god... In the land of the country of the river, it set off waves.
It also made the search work of Kato Dan and his party more difficult.
"Master Dan, we found it..."
Towards the next morning, with the panic-stricken shouts of a senior ninja of the Inuzuka clan, Kato Dan and his party finally found the body of Senju Naoshu.
"Wow~"
Looking at The debris on the ground and the hollow abdomen of Senju Rope Tree made several female ninjas feel a surge in their abdomens and vomit on the spot.
Rumble~ Thunder rolled, and the rain that had been brewing for a long time finally fell at this moment.
Continuously washing away the filth spread by the war...
Tap~Tap~
Kato Dan's footsteps kept echoing in everyone's ears... and made everyone's mood become more and more depressed.
It can be imagined that the Senju clan... suffered how much torture before his death.
"Rope... Tree..."
"Ah... Ah~~~ Sand Village! Ebizo! "
Under the thunderstorm, Kato Dan's voice, like the howl of a lone wolf, continued to echo in the sky.
Holding the broken body of Senju Nawaki, Kato Dan's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.
He didn't know how he should face Tsunade...
Or, how should Tsunade face the scene in front of her?
At this moment, no one dared to disturb Kato Dan, but just waited quietly... hoping that Kato Dan could survive everything in front of him.
...
It was unknown how long it took, until Kato Dan's eyes regained their light, and the figures standing beside him bent down.
"Master Dan... there is a situation."
"After investigation, the village's forehead protectors were found on the four headless bodies... Judging from their attire and the equipment they carried... these four people are probably members of the Anbu... or the Root. "
"Anbu and Root..."
Hearing his subordinates' whispers, Kato Dan's eyes turned cold, and a strong murderous intent suddenly burst out from his body.
It was obvious that the Konoha high-level officials and the Senju clan were in conflict under the peaceful surface.
"Bring those four bodies..."
"In addition, everything you saw and heard today, rot in your heart."
"The matter of Rope Tree, and these bodies... I will explain it to the Hokage in person."
"If anyone leaks it, he will be treated as a traitor. "... After returning to the Konoha camp, Kato Dan had calmed down. He only informed Akimichi Tofu and others that Nawaki had died in the battle... As for the information about the four bodies, Kato Dan concealed it. There are many doubts about this matter... such as why did the people from the Anbu or the Root appear there? Who dug out the organs in Nawaki's body? Who was the black hand who finally took action and killed the four jonin in one move? Before everything is clarified, rashly publicizing it will only cause greater commotion, and may even cause the Senju clan and the village leaders to Conflict between them.
If it was in the past, he might not have such worries, but now... the Senju clan has fallen.
The balance between the Senju clan and the village leaders has long been broken.
If a conflict occurs, the only one who will suffer... is Tsunade and the Senju clan.
After careful consideration, Kato Dan still sent two elite teams... one to the Rain Country to tell Tsunade what happened here truthfully.
The other returned to Konoha to tell Sarutobi Hiruzen... everything about what happened to Rope Tree.
"Rope Tree... Don't worry, no matter who is behind this?"
"Your revenge, Tsunade and I... will definitely avenge you!"
Looking at Senju Rope Tree, Senju Seidou... and the remains of several other Senju clan members.
Kato Dan's eyes gradually became extremely gloomy.
