Chapter 714: Teaching in the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I am Tsunade
Ao said slowly.
But his heart was not so calm.
In fact, he already believed the Anbu ninja; Fuguki Suikazan was basically confirmed dead.
Otherwise, given his personality, if he had killed Kitazawa and the others, he would have run back to claim credit long ago.
He might even use this as a bargaining chip to demand more command authority from him.
From this point of view, Ao felt that his death was not purely a bad thing.
It was just that with Fuguki Suikazan dead, the strength of the Hidden Mist Village was a bit weaker, and facing the Hidden Leaf Village, it seemed even more inadequate.
The main tent became very quiet again.
A heavy atmosphere was permeating.
The Hidden Mist Jonin stood in place with different thoughts, waiting.
Even the usually arrogant Zabuza Momochi felt the pressure.
"Lord Ao!"
A moment later, another Anbu ninja ran into the main tent in a hurry and said, "Lord... Lord Suikazan is dead!"
"Really dead?"
Ao subconsciously took a step forward.
"The news of Lord Suikazan's death has spread throughout the Hidden Leaf Village base camp."
The Anbu ninja caught his breath and said.
"Itachi may go down."
Ao was silent for two seconds, waved his hand, and said.
The two Anbu ninjas bowed slightly and turned to leave the main tent.
"That was Lord Suikazan!"
A Hidden Mist Jonin still felt it was incredible.
"It seems we need to re-evaluate Kitazawa's strength."
Ao sighed and said, "Since he can kill Suikazan, it means we have no way to deal with him."
Fuguki Suikazan, plus the Great Sword: Samehada, belonged to the top-tier powerhouses in the Hidden Mist Village.
The only one who could steadily surpass him was the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi.
At least in the current Hidden Mist Village base camp, whether it was him, Zabuza Momochi, or Terumi Mei and others, none of them were confident.
"How do Itachi know if Itachi don't try?"
Zabuza Momochi said stubbornly, "Lord Suikazan might have been killed by his sneak attack."
"How can there be such a thing as a sneak attack on the battlefield?"
Terumi Mei said in a deep voice, "Kitazawa has killed so many powerhouses of our Hidden Mist Village; he has already proven his strength."
Although she had mastered two Kekkei Genkai, Lava Style and Boil Style, she was not confident she could defeat Kitazawa.
"Not bad, Itachi must put away your contempt and treat Kitazawa with caution."
Ao nodded in agreement.
"Then what should we do now?"
Terumi Mei looked at him and asked.
Ao could not help but have a headache.
Their original plan was to drag out the Hidden Leaf Village and let the Elder and others find the real reason for the Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karatachi to start the war.
But half a month had passed, and the Elder and others had made no progress.
This meant he still had to drag it out further.
Ao suddenly had a thought.
Perhaps Fuguki Suikazan's death was an opportunity.
"The Hidden Leaf Village's morale is high right now; we should avoid their edge for now."
Ao thought for a moment and said, "The Hidden Mist Village will retreat to the islands and no longer land to fight the Hidden Leaf Village."
"Lord Ao!"
Zabuza Momochi said with dissatisfaction, "This is destroying our own prestige! It makes it look like our Hidden Mist Village is afraid of them!"
Many Hidden Mist Jonin nodded upon hearing this.
Retreating at this time was indeed inappropriate.
"I know Itachi want to avenge Suikazan, but war is not about a momentary victory or defeat."
Ao paused and said, "And by retreating to the islands, we can exert our true advantages."
The Hidden Mist Village was skilled in Water Style.
Landing to fight the Hidden Leaf Village instead lost the bonus of the sea.
"I agree."
Terumi Mei understood that Ao wanted to delay time, so she expressed her support.
The most important thing was that the odds of winning if the Hidden Mist Village fought the Hidden Leaf Village were too low; it was better to retreat to the islands and maintain their effective strength.
Wait until they figured out the situation of the Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karatachi before talking.
"The possibility of the Hidden Leaf Village pursuing the victory is very high; when that time comes, we can organize a powerful counterattack with the help of the sea."
Ao continued, "Avenging Suikazan is not impossible."
"Lord Ao's words make sense."
The Hidden Mist Jonin echoed one after another.
"That's good."
Ao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and ordered, "Immediately go and notify the Hidden Mist ninjas who are still on the shore and let them leave overnight."
The moon rose and fell.
A new day arrived.
Warm sunlight shone on the peaceful Hidden Leaf Village.
Except for the occasional reports of victory, the ninjas and villagers of the Hidden Leaf Village didn't even feel that they were currently in a war.
In the end, it was because the Hidden Mist Village was relatively weak and didn't put much pressure on them.
Six o'clock in the morning.
Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't eaten breakfast yet when he arrived at the Hokage office.
The reason lay in the battle report sent by Tsunade overnight.
After the battle report was decrypted, it was delivered to his hands.
The Hidden Leaf Village had a set of encryption systems for intelligence.
The more important the intelligence, the less it was allowed to have any mistakes during the transmission process.
To avoid the enemy cracking it, a set of encryption systems was indispensable.
The battle report was highly confidential, so it was also encrypted.
Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the battle report with anticipation.
A moment later, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Reports of victory are always pleasing."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction.
After the war with the Hidden Mist Village began, the Hidden Leaf Village could be said to be advancing with great momentum, occupying the advantage in all aspects.
And the Hidden Mist Village had successively lost powerhouses like Fuguki Suikazan and Ameyuri Ringo.
Coupled with Black Hoe Raiga, it could be counted as two Hidden Mist high-level officials and one genius with unlimited future dead.
Sarutobi Hiruzen closed the battle report.
If there were no accidents, this war would be won by the Hidden Leaf Village.
Of course, until the last moment, one must never lower their guard.
The Hidden Mist Village dared to start a war, so they must have some reliance.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't figured it out until now, if the Hidden Mist Village didn't want to lose, they would sooner or later bring out their reliance.
Besides this, they also had to guard against the Hidden Cloud Village and others taking advantage of the fire.
"Elephant."
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and called out.
An Anbu ninja pushed the door and walked in.
Haru had gone to Tsunade's place, so now it was replaced by Elephant.
In the original work, during the Konoha Crush plan, Elephant was the Anbu ninja standing outside the Four Violet Flames Formation acting as a commentator.
"Pass the news down."
Sarutobi Hiruzen handed the battle report to Elephant.
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
Elephant took the battle report and turned to leave.
"This time, Kitazawa should be completely famous; not just in the Hidden Leaf Village, but even in the ninja world, he will have a certain reputation."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the departing Elephant and thought to himself.
The biggest battle results achieved by the Hidden Leaf Village now were killing Fuguki Suikazan and Ameyuri Ringo.
But they all died at the hands of one person, and that was Kitazawa.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had already sensed that Kitazawa's reputation would skyrocket just like Namikaze Minato's back then.
But this was a good thing.
Kitazawa was Tsunade's student and also a ninja of the Hokage lineage.
His reputation was the reputation of the Hokage lineage.
Tsunade, who was directly related to him, benefited the most.
After all, students were cultivated by teachers.
Although Kitazawa was not famous for medical ninjutsu now, but for Water Style and swordsmanship, etc., others would still think it was Tsunade's credit.
Because in the eyes of others, without Tsunade, Kitazawa wouldn't have been able to learn so many ninjutsu.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very clear.
Kitazawa being able to learn so many ninjutsu was still the credit of his usual accumulation.
One was exceeding the mission requirements, and the other was exchanging with new ninjutsu created.
Tsunade was originally a famous ninja in the ninja world, but in recent years, because of her hemophobia, she seemed to have no presence.
Kitazawa's fame made many people remember Tsunade.
In short, it was back, it was all back.
When the war ended, it would be hard for Tsunade not to be Hokage.
Because it would be hard for the Hidden Leaf Village to find a ninja more famous and more suitable than her.
The residence of the Shimura clan.
By the side of the artificial lake, Shimura Danzo stared at the lake surface with a blank expression, holding a fishing rod.
After he retired, he had nothing to do, so he fished to pass the time.
