Naruto Puppet Master

The next morning, among the broken walls, the Third Hokage panted and sat on a boulder. There were ruins of rubble everywhere around him.

Sitting on the rocks and looking at the camp, which was neat and complete before sunset yesterday, but now it is just a piece of rubble left by the earth escape, and there is not even a standing military tent in ruins, the third Hokage Sarutobi Sasuke I can't stop crying.

"Has Konoha declined in my hands? Even one camp can hardly stand it in one night." Although he knew that the situation last night was special and the personnel did not suffer too much, the Third Hokage was still sad Incomparably, after all, the camp of the Konoha ninja army he personally led was demolished by the enemy, but it was an unchangeable fact.

Last night, under the attack of Konoha's continuous legion ninjutsu, and later blocked by Orochimaru, Jiraiya and the insect control skills of the Aburame clan, Jingzhe and other puppet cultists still commanded the army of underworld beasts who were not afraid of death and entered. Inside Konoha's camp.

Even before that, Ten Thousand Snakes and Toad Bunta had bravely rushed to the front line. Ten thousand snakes collided with each other, and Toad frequently used swordsmanship and ninjutsu, but it was of no use.

When the huge stone wall collapsed, the rubble fell and the chasm was filled with a high pile of rocks, countless armies of underworld beasts rushed towards Konoha in a frenzy, including Wan She and several other psychic beasts. The efforts were only to severely injure a few of the underworld beasts during the initial contact and slightly suppress the momentum of the underworld beasts' charge.

But when more underworld beasts came up from behind, climbed up from the chasm, and emerged from under the gravel team, Jingzhe only separated fifty or sixty underworld beasts and surrounded them collectively. It cannot affect the charge of the underworld beast army at all.

Even if Orochimaru and Jiraiya later made a decisive decision and summoned some psychic beasts to come over to help without sacrificing chakra, it would not help.Anyway, all the underworld beasts rushed towards the Konoha city wall in front of them. During this period, whether it was the ninjutsu attacks of Orochimaru and other psychic beasts or the legion ninjutsu attacks on the Konoha city wall, they only needed to Just charge forward with the ninjutsu.

To deal with these rough-skinned and fleshy underworld beasts with strong recovery, the psychic beasts that Orochimaru and Jiraiya tried their best to summon were not as effective as the parasitic insects of the Aburame clan!

Although I didn't see it during the war, there are incomplete statistics afterwards. The parasites of the Aburame clan killed at least thirty or forty beasts last night. On average, the number of two or three beasts per person was already more than the total number of beasts in Konoha last night. A small part of the result.

For this reason, the Aburame clan also suffered huge losses.Regardless of the fact that nine ninjas were sacrificed, even those who were still alive suffered heavy casualties due to over-exploitation of the parasites, which indirectly led to the Aburame tribe's strength being [-]% to [-]% based on the parasites. Now in a short time They are almost all scrapped.

Without geographical advantage, no absolute strength gap, and such a disparity in numbers, Konoha's attempt to rely on a few psychic beasts to stop the charge of the underworld beast army is simply a matter of mantis.

In the end, the army of underworld beasts only broke through the city wall of Konoha at the cost of nearly three hundred corpses. The galloping beasts directly flattened the wall that blocked their charge, destroying Konoha's camp. It was destroyed, and many of the weaker Konoha shinobi were trampled to death.

Before that, when the Third Hokage on top of the city found that he could no longer stop the beasts, he immediately ordered all the wood industry ninjas to give up all materials in the camp and use the temporary camp as a battlefield, relying on the original construction of the camp. The building foundations laid at that time were added with earth escape to restrict the movement of the beasts, and then fierce hand-to-hand combat was staged in Konoha's camp.

"Da da da????" Just as the Third Hokage was blaming himself and thinking wildly, a burst of rapid footsteps reached his ears.

The Third Hokage quickly wiped away some tears from the corner of his eyes and calmed down his heart.

Seeing the Third Hokage's somewhat disgraced look, Orochimaru did not notice that he was crying just now, but last night's night attack went to such an extent that Orochimaru could also imagine the grief in the heart of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Sasuke.

When a large army is forced to break the camp by the enemy, it can almost be declared that this army has lost the war.

And Konoha ninja

Although the Konoha Ninja Legion is not completely defeated due to the arrangement of abandoning the camp and protecting personnel after last night and the particularity of the ninja rules.But it is also true that the camp was destroyed, materials were destroyed, and morale was completely lost.

"How do you calculate it?" The Third Hokage asked:

"Yes, Teacher Sarutobi." Orochimaru said, "Although it is not detailed enough, the material and personnel lost have been roughly estimated."

The Third Hokage looked at Orochimaru who was slightly hesitant in his eyes and said, "I'm prepared, just tell me!"

Hearing this, Orochimaru, who was not a hesitant person, immediately said: "First of all, in terms of supplies, we only recovered enough normal food for about three days. If we save some, we can support five days, but the loss of treatment drugs But it's even bigger. Not even [-]% of the original ones are gone, let alone first aid equipment. Only [-]% of other weapons and other war materials have been recovered, and I believe the rest should be buried under these ruins. ”

Even though he had been prepared, the Third Hokage's face turned pale in an instant when he actually heard the actual numbers.

Being familiar with war, he knew clearly that war was not just about people fighting, but also a competition of materials.Just the losses reported by Orochimaru allowed him to prepare for a retreat, otherwise he would be in danger of being annihilated if it was difficult to win for a while.

"At least we have to retreat to the border, otherwise the desert hundreds of miles behind us will become a dead land." The Third Hokage thought to himself.

Without caring about the Third Hokage's thoughts, Orochimaru continued: "In terms of personnel, we lost three Genin 520, six Chunin 210, and three Jonin. The others were injured with varying degrees of severity, but most of them were chakra It was caused by excessive consumption. In addition, there are only nine ninjas left in the Aburame clan, and their parasitic insects have suffered a lot, and they no longer have much fighting power in a short period of time. They must be given a few days to repopulate the parasitic insects. insect."

After hearing this, the Third Hokage, who was already considering temporarily retreating to the border to replenish supplies, said: "Although I don't know why Sand Ninja Village didn't pursue the victory last night, but since they have evacuated now, we must take the opportunity to prepare to prevent them from coming back again. "

"I know. I have asked Jiraiya to gather ninjas who still have physical strength and chakra to build defensive positions. As long as the defensive positions are built, then the next time we encounter them, we can rely on position construction to limit them. The actions of those psychic beasts will not rely on sacrificing camps as a battlefield to restrict the opponent like last night." Orochimaru said calmly: "In addition, Tsunade is already organizing rescue work and battlefield poisoning cleanup work."

"Yes." The Third Hokage nodded and said, "With you here, Orochimaru, sensei, I feel so much more relaxed!"

"There, it would be great if I could help Sarutobi-sensei." Orochimaru said in a low voice:

"Haha, you have helped me a lot. You are my most outstanding disciple. Did you notice the strangeness of those psychic beasts and the strange things about the sand ninja last night?"

Orochimaru nodded and said, "Yes, my disciple discovered some differences."

"Tell me about it?" the Third Hokage said:

Orochimaru thought for a while and said: "First of all, the psychic beasts last night don't seem to know ninjutsu. Secondly, their physical defense and other aspects are very strong, and their resistance to ninjutsu is also very strong."

"Although ninjutsu below B level can also hurt them, their physiques can simply ignore it. And before the battle, under our legion ninjutsu, they only need a layer of ordinary stone armor to resist. Rushing over in a sea of ​​fire is the most obvious manifestation."

"Secondly, their vitality is extremely strong. An ape-like psychic beast that I personally killed died after I chopped off its head, and before that I had already chopped off one of its arms. We smashed part of its internal organs and fed it snake venom, but apart from losing its limbs and affecting the battle, it still showed no intention of falling."

"As for why the sand ninja suddenly retreated at dawn, the disciples can't guess." Orochimaru shook his head and said: (To be continued.)
