Chapter 226: Repairing the Road in the Light, and Doing it in the Dark!
The large-scale battle between Konoha and Kumogakure had unknowingly entered a white-hot state!
Especially at the center of the collision between the two sides, the ground was filled with corpses and blood soaked into the soil.
Perhaps when spring came next year, the fresh flowers would bloom exceptionally beautiful.
Although both sides had suffered heavy losses, everyone was also red-eyed. If this continued, there was a high chance that they would end up like before, ending with both sides suffering silently.
But this time, there were some unexpected factors.
"Dodai-sama! There is news from the rear. The camp we left behind was attacked by Konoha's people!"
Dodai, who was in command, did not panic at all, because this was already within his expectations. On the contrary, if Konoha's people did not take the bait, it would instead cause him to feel uneasy.
"What are you panicking for! Didn't the supplies have already been transferred elsewhere? The empty shell base camp left behind was used for Konoha to launch a sneak attack. Even if it was completely destroyed, it doesn't matter!"
Although he said that, if the camp was seriously damaged, it would also give him a headache.
However, the soil platform had to say this. Otherwise, the morale that had already reached the critical point would immediately collapse.
As long as he could show that everything was under control, there would still be a fight in this battle!
"By the way, how many people did Konoha send?"
"There are only... ten."
"What are you afraid of? Could it be ten Jonin? Impossible! Konoha has already sent out all his main forces. It is impossible for there to be so many Jonin!" Dodai frowned.
"No. There is no Jonin. It was the last time that the little brat, Konoha, who provoked Raikage-sama, led a team to attack us." Kumogakure, who came to deliver the information, braced himself and said.
"Hmm? So what? Didn't I already arrange for Darui to guard the camp? What does he do? If he can't guard the camp, let him cut his own abdomen and commit suicide!"
At this time, Dodai had not realized the seriousness of the problem and did not really take the little ghost seriously.
The reason why they placed the little ghost on the second place on their Kumogakure's killing list was because the impact was too bad.
A mere Konoha Genin was actually like a little ox, daring to threaten to beat up ten Raikage.
Regardless of whether it was a bluff or not, they had to show a tough attitude.
However, this kind of explosion was actually built on the basis of greater casualties.
This was because Dodai no longer hoped to win this battle, only not losing, even if it was a draw, it was acceptable!
As for the rest, it would depend on Raikage-sama's thoughts.
Whether he would continue to fight, drag Konoha down with him, or choose peace, and completely end this war to rest and recuperate was not something he could decide.
Based on his understanding of the enemy commander, as long as the number of casualties reached a critical point, the enemy would definitely not choose to fight them to the death.
This was the same for the previous battles.
Dodai knew why the other party was so 'cowardly'. It was because Konoha could no longer afford to suffer such a painful loss. Otherwise, even if he won against Kumogakure, he would be reduced to a fat piece of meat. Therefore, Konoha's idea was probably to preserve as much strength as possible.
But this time, Dodai miscalculated again!
Konoha's people did not retreat, nor did they want to end this battle just like that. Instead, they launched a counterattack against them regardless of casualties.
For some reason, after seeing this situation, Dodai's heart immediately thumped, and his heart missed a beat.
A strong sense of unease instantly enveloped him.
There must be some reason that made the commander of the enemy make a decision that was completely different from usual!
Then, at this moment, an urgent message came from the rear.
Dodai seemed to have realized something and immediately called the person over. Then his heart sank.
Because this person was very familiar.
"What happened?"
"Dodai-sama, we fell into a trap! The materials we transferred were all burned by Konoha's people. Woo."
As he spoke, that Kumogakure Ninja cried out.
And after hearing this news, Dodai seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
It was over, they were completely finished this time!
It turned out that Konoha's people attacking the camp was fake, and the real target was their logistics supplies.
