CHAPTER 423 THE PROPOSAL
At this time, Orochimaru, who was leaning on a boulder, didn't seem to be in a good condition, there were some burnt marks all over his body.
A slug-like creature was wriggling around his neck, helping him recover from his injuries.
This was Tsunade's summon beast, Slug.
"It's the son of the Third Raikage and his brother, Killer B, the Hachibi Jinchuriki." Sho Sho said with a frown.
Watergate and Orochimaru looked at each other, the latter smiled and said: "I've made a fool of myself in front of you."
"Orochimaru-san, what are you talking about, we are ninjas from the same village, we are strong people who are injured on the battlefield, we should be respected by everyone."
Watergate knew that Orochimaru had a bad impression of him, and he was the same, but this is a time of war, and this kind of emotion is not worth mentioning in front of a common enemy.
The scars on Orochimaru's body were undoubtedly caused by the Lightning Release Chakra.
The son of the Third Raikage will be the Fourth Raikage in the future, and together with the Hachibi Jinchuriki, even Watergate won't be able to win against them.
The two of them weren't fighting alone, they were a team.
At the end of the Second Shinobi World War, this team became famous in the ninja world, especially in the Rock Ninja's nightmare.
"I was temporarily entangled by Tsutsuki, and Orochimaru and Tsunade are fighting the other two, Tsutsuki Ai's speed is too fast, and he can restrain the former's fighting style."
Sho Sho said. Tsutsuki Tsutsuki is the brother of the Third Raikage, and Tsutsuki Ai is the name of the Fourth Raikage's son.
His speed is something that Minato has experienced before, coupled with that guy's lightning armor, he can withstand Ninjutsu.
Orochimaru's chance of winning against him is indeed not big.
Although Tsunade is one of the Sannin, she has spent most of her time in the construction of the medical system, and in terms of fighting power, naturally, she can't compete with Killer B.
Therefore, it was reasonable for the latter to lose in this battle.
Night Moon Star's strength was not as strong as Sho Sho's current strength, but it should not be too big of a problem for him to stall for time.
"How are our casualties?"
At this moment, Watergate turned sideways. Tsunade had already appeared on the other side of the cliff.
"Among the 120 people we brought with us, 11 of them were killed. Except for Orochimaru, the rest of them were not seriously injured, and they were almost healed by me."
Tsunade said. She is the only medical ninja in this elite team of more than 100 people.
However, it was enough.
Watergate nodded. Orochimaru's injury was the most serious because of the erosion of cells caused by Raiton Chakra, so the latter's bodily functions will decline in a short period of time.
"As you can see, this time around, we've lost."
Tsunade was much calmer than she was ten years ago. If it was the old her, she would have been angry and raised her eyebrows.
However, in this war, Wood Leaf himself was in a passive state, and it's impossible for him to not suffer a loss.
"Speaking of which, you are really a monster. You ended the war in the country's front so quickly."
Tsunade said. She didn't need to ask about the result of the battle in Sunagakure.
For Watergate, she and Sho Sho have long known that the blond man in front of them is not a person who can be judged by common sense.
"Haha."
Watergate chuckled, then his eyes fell on the forest at the end of the plain, and said: "Kumo Shinobu's surprise attack force should be there now, right?"
One of the plains should be the battlefield of the two sides. In this terrain, Ninjutsu has no surprise. For Kumo Shinobu's troops, who are good at speed, it's an excellent battlefield.
"Well, we fought an hour ago. Although we were at a disadvantage, we were not easily defeated, so … the other side retreated first." Sho Sho's eyes narrowed slightly.
Watergate nodded and said: "But when they quickly realized their advantage and adjusted their state a little, I'm afraid that they will attack again immediately. After all, if the surprise attack force loses its momentum, it will be meaningless."
"Haha … Yes, if you didn't come, I'm afraid we would have to temporarily retreat and pull the front line to the border of the Land of Fire."
Sho Sho said. Although they now have Tang no Guk behind them, Tang no Guk is Wood Leaf's ally after all.
If they set up a barrier in Tang no Guk, it would be equivalent to pulling the country into the flames of war.
"The people of Tang no Guk should have gathered in Spring Town by now, right?"
Watergate said. Although Sho Sho's troops were rushing, it was impossible to hide from Tang no Guk's intelligence network.
"Half an hour ago, I have already met with Yukinomura's leader Qiu Yuanfeng and promised him that by tonight at the latest, we will withdraw Wood Leaf's Ninjas. We can't involve Tang no Guk in the war …"
Sho Sho said. In fact, Qiu Yuanfeng was already under great pressure to let Sho Sho and Wood Leaf's troops stay here for a few hours.
Even if it was a small country like Tang no Guk, whether it was the Country of Fire or the Country of Thunder, there was no reason to easily pull a country into the flames of war.
Because if Yukinomura also joined the war, it would be disadvantageous to their side.
"Well, we can't cause any more trouble for Tang no Guk. The battle with Kumo Shinobu's surprise troops can't be delayed for too long," Watergate said.
Sho Sho and Tsunade also understood the reason. The former said, "Originally, I planned to let the troops retreat in a few hours to buy more time for the main forces. Then, I would find an opportunity to organize forces and force the surprise troops out of Tang no Guk before the main forces of Kumo Shinobu arrive."
"But now that you're here, there's no need to carry out this risky plan of mine."
Sakumo's plan is the only effective way at the moment. However, once Konoha's forces retreat, the chances of success will be low if they want to take advantage of the instability in the rear.
"At that time, I will deal with Shin Tsuki, and you, Tsunade, and Orochimaru will work together to repel Shin Tsuki and Killer B," Sho Sho said. Watergate smiled and shook his head, looking at the two in front of him.
"In any case, Orochimaru -san has suffered a lot of injuries. If he continues to fight, I'm afraid it will affect the future battle situation. Even if he temporarily repels Kumo Shinobu's surprise troops, the gains will not make up for the losses."
Watergate said. This third shinobi world war will eventually come to an end, and it won't end in a short time. In the future, the confrontation between the two sides will still be inevitable.
Therefore, he looked up and smiled faintly.
"I have a better proposal. If Sho Sho -san and Tsunade -san join forces, they should be able to quickly defeat Shin Tsuki …"
"As for the combination of Shin Tsuki and Killer B, leave it to me!"
