The capital of the Land of Iron was covered in snow, and it was cold!
"The Rock Village is also a bandit, they're not much better than Tien Yin!"
At this moment, in the spacious conference room, Ishikaku said with dissatisfaction when he learned that the Rock Village asked for more rewards.
"Sigh!
The Rock Hidden Village must have expected that we would agree to it. "
Ishikaku sighed and said.
The other samurai in the conference room shook their heads helplessly. At present, the Land of Iron was in danger, only the Rock Village was willing to help. Not to mention doubling the reward, even if it was doubled or tripled, they would still agree.
"It doesn't make sense to talk about that, I have already agreed to Onoki's request, and the Rock Village's reinforcements are already on the way."
"Now, what we have to do is how to defend the capital before the Rock Village's reinforcements arrive!"
Perhaps because of the loss of the Iron Tower Fortress, Mifune's face didn't look very good. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice.
"Mifune-sama, according to the intelligence, the Tien Yin Army, after a day of rest, has started to attack the capital again."
"In order to delay time, we should arrange a sneak attack on the way!"
After Mifune's voice fell, a samurai immediately suggested.
"I agree with this proposal, no matter what means, we have to stop the Tien Yin Army from attacking!"
Ishikaku nodded and agreed.
"Ishikaku, I will leave the sneak attack on the Tien Yin Army to you!"
Mifune looked at Ishikaku and ordered.
Before the Rock Village's reinforcements arrive, Mifune naturally knew that stopping the Tien Yin Army was the most important thing at the moment. For this reason, he gave this task to his most trusted subordinate.
"I promise to complete the task!"
Ishikaku said confidently.
In fact, this task was very simple, use the terrain to launch an attack, and retreat after the attack. This flexible harassment tactic, even if the Tien Yin Army is strong, they can't do anything.
"We lost the first battle, and the morale of the samurai will inevitably be low. These days, if you have time, you should encourage the samurai and prepare for the final battle!"
Mifune nodded and suddenly thought of something, so he said to Ishikaku and the others.
"Understood!"
As the leader of the samurai, they naturally knew what to do, so Ishikaku and the others agreed.
…
Faint moonlight sprinkled down from the sky, covering the Dorne Mountain Range in the Land of Iron with a faint silver veil. From time to time, low roars of beasts could be heard.
In the middle of the Doen Mountain Range, there is the camp of the Shinobi army of the Heavenly Village. Even though it's late at night, it's still brightly lit. Heavily armed Shinobi are patrolling back and forth. In some high places in the camp, there are also ninjas with excellent eyesight. Their sharp and vicious eyes are constantly sweeping the darkness around the camp.
At this moment, in the center of the campsite, there was a tent that was larger than the usual one. Inside, there were several figures talking around a table.
"Today, we've been constantly attacked by the warriors of the Country of Iron. It seems that they want to stop us from approaching the capital!"
The Doen Army Doen Yin mountain was the Army of the Iron Army.
"The Country of Iron should know that we can't fight a long war, so they want to use this method to stall for time and defend."
Sasuke nodded and said.
"Lady Celestial Shadow told us to take down the Country of Iron within five days. Two days have already passed. No matter what method they use, we have to speed up."
If You Don't Kill said with a gloomy face.
Itachi fell into deep thought as he listened to their conversation, trying to think of a solution.
If there were no Samurai harassing them on the way, the Tien Yin Ninja Army would only need a day to reach the capital. But now, the situation was a little annoying.
"Ga ga ga …"
While Itachi was deep in thought, an intelligence crow suddenly flew in from outside.
When the intelligence crow found Itachi, it turned into a cloud of white mist with a bang. Then, an intelligence scroll fell from the white mist.
Itachi caught the information scroll and opened it without hesitation.
"Brother, what's the situation?"
Seeing Itachi's face suddenly become quite gloomy, Sasuke's heart thumped and asked.
"We may have to retreat. The Rock Village has sent Ninja troops. They are preparing to reinforce the Country of Iron!"
"What?
The Rock Village is reinforcing the Country of Iron? "
"This … how is this possible?"
When Itachi's words fell, everyone in the tent was shocked. No one thought that such a thing would happen.
Under normal circumstances, with the strength of the Tien Yin Ninja Army, it shouldn't be a problem to take down the Country of Iron. But now, the Rock Village is helping them. Itachi can only return with his army. After all, the Rock Village's reinforcements are stronger than them. They have no chance of winning.
"Oh!
No wonder the Country of Iron sent Samurai to delay us. They were waiting for the Rock Village's reinforcements! "
With a sigh, Shisui thought of the attack that happened today and suddenly sighed.
"Are we going to return to the village?
How can we face the Celestial Shadow?
How can we face our dead companions? "
Without paying attention to Waterstop's words, If You Don't Kill stared at Itachi. Itachi's face instantly changed. He clenched his fists.
"If You Don't Kill, I understand what you mean, but do you think we can defeat the enemy with our current strength?"
Knowing that the strong character of Zabuza was unwilling to retreat, Itachi immediately asked.
"This …"
Being asked by Itachi, If You Don't Kill didn't know what to say for a while. Although he is not a very smart ninja, he can guess the result of the Rock Village's reinforcements and the Country of Iron's reinforcements.
It may be a pyrrhic victory, it may be a complete wipeout, but the latter is undoubtedly the most likely.
"If You Don't Kill, the situation has changed. This is not something we can control. Even if Celestial Shadow is here, she will probably order a retreat, so there is no need to worry."
Taking a deep breath, Waterstop persuaded.
In fact, Waterstop and If You Don't Kill didn't want to return to Tien Yin like this. But as a captain, sometimes he can't be emotional. He must consider the overall situation.
If You Don't Kill clenched his fists. Although he was very reluctant to retreat, he had to retreat … This made him very sad.
"Actually, we don't have to retreat!"
Because of the urgent information, the atmosphere in the tent was silent. After a while, Sasuke's voice sounded in the tent.
