Chapter 259 Secretly Assassinating Chen Cang

In the Sunagakure headquarters, Yasuo stood at the door of the central tent with his sword drawn.

Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru stood behind Yasuo covered in blood.

Several captain-level Jonin saluted Yasuo, and one of them said: "Young Marshal, all the Suna Ninja who resisted have been wiped out, and the rest have surrendered."

Another person said: "After confirmation, Ebizo, the supreme commander of the feint attack force, was not found among the prisoners or corpses. I think he probably took advantage of the chaos and escaped back to the Kingdom of Wind."

Yasuo nodded, looking slightly uncomfortable.

Orochimaru patted Yasuo's back and said, "Yasuo-kun, death is an inevitable part of war."

Jiraiya changed his usual cheerfulness and said in a deep voice: "The enemy's corpse is better than the corpse of his companions, not to mention this time, among the five thousand sand ninja, 300 died, 3,000 were captured, and 1,700 were missing. Man, that’s the best case scenario.”

Yasuo nodded. He naturally understood these principles. It was just the first time he faced so many deaths and he felt a little uncomfortable.

But as Jiraiya said, this is the best result.

Knowing that the main force of 20,000 Suna ninjas were detouring from the swamp in an attempt to raid Konoha's Western Front Command from the north, the bad master and apprentice formulated this plan overnight to drain the firepower.

The total strength of Konoha's western front is less than 30,000.

Among them, there are nearly 15,000 ninjas, who are stationed in various strongholds and fortification bunkers in the northwest to confront Iwagakure and Yugakure. They cannot be easily separated.

There are only 5,000 mobile troops that the headquarters can directly mobilize. Including the troops stationed in the direction of Sunagakure, the total number is only more than 10,000.

This is also the reason why Salmon dared to use 20,000 troops to attack the Konoha Western Front Command.

Yasuo took away all of the more than 10,000 Konoha ninjas left in one go, so Danzo's place where Konoha Fierce Tiger was stationed alone at the headquarters was truly an empty city strategy.

Yasuo, with more than 10,000 ninjas, cleverly avoided the feint attack of Ebizo's troops (Ebizo carried a cookie box with him), and went straight to the almost undefended Sunagakure headquarters.

After seizing the Sunagakure headquarters without any bloodshed, the real battle took place with Ebizo's headquarters who quickly returned to defense.

In fact, Ebizo had another option at that time, which was to use his trick and simply turn the feint attack into a real attack, go straight to Huanglong, and cooperate with the main force of Salmon to defeat the Konoha headquarters.

However, he did not dare to gamble and felt that there was no need to gamble.

Although he didn't know how many troops Yasuo had, Ebizo felt that since Konoha commanded some troops, the guard strength must be even more empty, and there would be no reason for the Kazekage-sama's side to fail anyway.

If there is no need to worry about the offensive aspect, the most important thing left is to recapture the Sunagakure headquarters.

Because Ebizo knew the financial situation of the village very well, and he knew even more what the supplies in the headquarters meant to the village.

At least until Konoha's compensation and loot arrive, the supplies in Sunagakure's headquarters are key to supporting Sunagakure's troops to continue fighting.

Ebizo chose to return to aid. When Yasuo saw all this in his field of vision, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the battle was over.

Unlike the Sunagakure headquarters where supplies are stored, the Konoha headquarters has been evacuated by Danzo in advance, and all Konoha's military supplies have been transferred to the safer Blackwater Logistics Group's warehouse.

Even so, Yasuo didn't want anything like what happened to his hometown to happen. Since Ebizo didn't dare to gamble, it was best.

Insufficient intelligence caused Ebizo to misjudge the strength of Yasuo's troops. A total of 10,000 elite Konoha ninjas waited for work and quickly defeated 5,000 old and weak Suna ninjas who were selected as partial divisions.

Faced with the siege of more than a dozen jounin, Ebizo showed his strength as a shadow of a village and successfully broke through.

But most of the Sand Ninja were not so lucky. After a little resistance in the face of absolute strength, they became prisoners of Konoha.

Naturally, the die-hards among them can only turn into dust that blocks the wheel of history from rolling forward.

Rubbing the center of his brow, Yasuo decided not to think about the yes and no, there was no time to waste now.

We must completely eliminate the Sand Ninja before the Rain Ninja and Iwa Ninja react.

…

The jounin who were half-kneeling waiting for further military orders watched the expression on Yasuo's young face constantly changing, and their brows knitted together thoughtfully.

They knew that the young commander was thinking of another evil conspiracy!

Of course, the immoral smoke is only for the enemy. For the ninjas who follow the young marshal to fight, it is a perfect plan!

To be honest, since Yasuo parachuted into Konoha's Western Front Command six months ago and became the chief of staff and the de facto second-in-command of the command, the veteran ninjas have been privately questioning Yasuo.

The reason is very simple. Yasuo is too young. At the same time, he is not like young geniuses such as Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi in the original space, who have completed countless S-level missions and completed many A-level missions. Glorious resume.

All Yasuo has is his identity as the youngest deputy in ANBU history, and "My master is Danzo."

Although with Danzo's reputation and strength, no one dared to disobey Yasuo's orders under Suo's false power, but the doubts in their hearts never diminished.

Just a brat who relies on nepotism and has no real material!

This is the first impression most ninjas have of Yasuo.

Until in battle after battle, the Konoha ninja were so small that they dismembered and attacked the enemy with scalpel-like accuracy at an unimaginable cost, and achieved brilliant results.

The combat plans for these battles, without exception, all came from Yasuo's staff.

Gradually, the arrogant veteran jounin put away their contempt for Yasuo, and remembered what they heard in their families, the Hokage's evaluation of this young man at the annual meeting of Konoha - he is a wise general!

While feeling in awe, they finally and sincerely addressed Yasuo as Marshal.

And to this day, this resounding victory has brought everyone's belief in Yasuo to its peak.

but……

One of the fat girl jounin, an authentic female jounin of the Akimichi clan, turned her head and looked at the handsome middle-aged blond guy next to her. They both turned their heads and looked at their companion behind them - a standard pineapple head.

"Autumn Michimei, the wind is blowing in the mountains, go and bring some prisoners who don't look so strong-minded." Yasuo ended his mind-wandering, wandering mind mode and issued a military order.

However, no one responded to Yasuo.

"Autumn Road Beauty? The wind is blowing in the mountains?"

"Ah? Marshal, please give me your orders!"

Yasuo covered his forehead and found that his unreliable subordinates were also in a daze. Could it be that they were infected by him? He had to repeat the order again.

"Yes, Marshal!"

Akimichi Mei and Yamazaka Fukong followed the order and left, but before leaving, they couldn't help but glance at Yasuo secretly, and whispered in their hearts:

No matter how you look at it, the young marshal's hairstyle and IQ are very similar to a certain tribe. Is there really no relationship between them?

Next time you visit the Nara family, why don't you ask if one of the Nara tribe members fostered their child in the Hatake family and then didn't bother to take it back?
