Chapter 143: Going to Support

Inside the Konoha command post tent.

"Tanaka clan leader, your Uchiha still need to go to three locations for support," the Battlefield Commander said, pointing at the positions on the map.

"Has the village's other support not arrived yet?" Uchiha Tanaka's face looked grim.

In recent days, the Cloud Hidden thugs have gone berserk, launching reckless charges that have caused heavy losses among Konoha ninja.

The Uchiha Clan's casualties are likewise significant.

Yet the Commander still lets him dispatch clan members for support.

If this continues, the Uchiha's overall combat power will surely shrink dramatically!

The Commander, a member of the Nara Clan, saw Uchiha Tanaka's thoughts and urged:

"Tanaka clan leader, other families are on their way; we will soon receive support…"

Uchiha Tanaka was silent for a moment, "I will send clan members to support."

Saying that, he suppressed his displeasure, flicked his sleeve, and left.

Inside the tent were the clan leaders of several other families.

They watched Uchiha Tanaka's departing back and couldn't help pursing their lips.

"Heh, are the Uchiha the only ones with heavy casualties?" a clan leader grumbled.

"Endure, endure, it's because the Uchiha Clan is so strong."

"Uchiha Tanaka is a self‑righteous fool."

Nara Commander, seeing the situation was off, quickly changed the subject, "Clan leaders, I will now assign your missions."

Hearing this, the clan leaders finally ceased their discussion.

Uchiha Tanaka left the tent and found the clan members who were resting.

"Clan leader, sir."

The Uchiha clan members, seeing Tanaka approach, stood up to greet him.

"We need to go to the battlefield to support; this time I will go with you," Uchiha Tanaka said.

"Understood!" the Uchiha clan members replied in unison.

"Leave the wounded behind; the rest, follow me!"

Dozens of Uchiha clan members split into three groups, each heading to their respective battlefields.

Just as the Uchiha clan members left, the other clan leaders emerged from the tent.

They hesitated not, leading their clan members to the battlefield for support.

Nara Commander rubbed his forehead and murmured softly, "Calculating the time, the support for the Kirigakure and Iwagakure battlefields should be arriving soon, right?"

Since the Kirigakure–Iwagakure war broke out, Konoha ninja from the two battlefields have been gradually moving to the Northeast Battlefield to support.

Some arrived these past two days; the remaining main force is on its way.

To prevent Kirigakure and Iwagakure from suddenly attacking Konoha, the two battlefields must retain thirty percent of their troops for garrison.

The rest, aside from the wounded, are continuously arriving.

Upon learning the news, the Cloud Ninja launched a massive offensive.

They aim to seize the Northeast Battlefield completely before Konoha's support arrives.

Facing the Cloud Ninja's full‑scale assault, the existing forces can hardly hold, resulting in heavy casualties.

Nevertheless, support is near.

Once the main force's support arrives, Konoha can launch a counter‑offensive.

Thinking this, Nara Commander's furrowed brows finally relaxed.

Inside the Cloud Hidden command tent.

"Bastard, bastard! Are Iwagakure and Kirigakure both fools?" First Raikage grew angrier as he thought, unable to help but roar loudly.

If Iwagakure and Kirigakure had not had a civil war and instead attacked Konoha together, they would have split Konoha's forces.

Cloud Hidden could have gradually worn down Konoha and then taken the Northeast Battlefield at minimal cost.

As a result, Guideng Huanyue and Wu's maneuver eased Konoha's pressure.

More troops were poured into the Northeast Battlefield.

Now Konoha's pressure falls onto the Cloud Hidden.

First Raikage knows that as long as Konoha's support fully arrives, Cloud Hidden will find it hard to defeat Konoha.

Therefore, during this time, they will spare no expense to seize the Northeast Battlefield.

But Konoha's stubborn resistance leaves him helpless.

Thus he sent his personal bodyguards to the battlefield, even dispatching two veteran elite Jonin of the village—the Jinyin Jiaoyin brothers.

He originally thought that with three joining, the Northeast Battlefield could be taken quickly.

But the intel from his subordinates made him erupt like thunder; support from Konoha's other two battlefields is about to arrive.

Thus, in the short term, they will find it hard to defeat Konoha.

First Raikage grew angrier as he thought, and in fury smashed a solid‑wood desk with one palm.

"I want to see what's in Iwagakure and Kirigakure's heads!"

He wants to find Guideng Huanyue and Wu, make them cease internal fighting, and together carve up the Fire Country.

Thus, First Raikage left the battlefield accompanied by several bodyguards.

Meanwhile, on the Frontline Battlefield, Jinyin Jiaoyin learned of First Raikage's departure from a close confidant.

"Brother, the Raikage has left the camp," Yin Jiao's eyes flickered, "This is an opportunity for us…"

Hearing this, Jin Jiao showed a ferocious grin, "Little brother is right; as long as this old thing dies, we can launch a war against other nations!"

The two are fierce and cunning, and they love war and slaughter.

They intend to kill the First Raikage and frame Konoha for it.

As a result, the war between the two villages will never cease.

Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao exchanged a glance, both revealing a smug smile.

In an unnoticed corner, the two quietly left the Battlefield.

…………

While Lian Ye and his two companions were on the road, they happened to meet Konoha ninja heading to support.

Seeing hundreds of ninja, Lian Ye slightly furrowed his brow.

The old kid Qianshou Feijian actually dispatched so many reinforcements at once, which can only indicate that the situation on the Battlefield is extremely severe.

The strength of Cloud Hidden Village is definitely great; the war is unlikely to end soon.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's complexion turned sour at the sight of so many heading to the Battlefield for support.

This means that the number of enemies he kills will decrease, and the amount of merit he gains will also drop…

No, I must kill more enemies on the Battlefield!

Tuan Cang clenched his fist, his eyes full of longing for merit.

Each battle achievement accumulated now will become a solid foundation on the road to the Hokage Position in the future.

After all, the Hokage Position has always required not only powerful Ninjutsu but also reputation built from battle achievements.

…………

Lian Ye and his two companions followed the main force and soon arrived at the Battlefield.

The Battlefield Commander learned the news and came out personally to greet them.

When he saw the number of reinforcements, he couldn't help but sigh in relief.

Lian Ye noticed the Pineapple Head commander, his expression a bit odd.

The commanders on the Battlefield, could they all be members of the Nara Clan?

After all, across the battlefields, commanders at two locations are already Nara Clan members.

The other two locations should be the same…

One can only say that clever people are welcomed everywhere.

While he was daydreaming, the commander began deploying combat missions.

Time was tight, and the Nara Commander gave them no time to rest.

One third of the troops stayed at the camp, while the rest went entirely to support the Battlefield.

Lian Ye and his two companions set off immediately for the front line.
