Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Chapter 578 The most vigilant enemy

The first thing the Iwagakure ninjas who retreated under the cover of the Tailed Beast Balls did after they reunited was to report the information back to the Iwagakure Village.

Because of the good weather, Oonoki was in a very good mood.

When he learned that it was the battlefield of the Grass Kingdom, he went to see it with a smile on his face.

Because every piece of news coming from the battlefield in the Land of Grass recently was basically good news, and even Ohnoki was a little surprised at the smooth sailing.

Faced with a lineup consisting of Yellow Flash and Jiraiya, one of the Three Ninjas, the Iwagakure troops led by Reishi were able to defeat Jiraiya's troops without suffering any losses.

"The intelligence unit made a mistake and fell into Konoha's trap, and the unit suffered heavy losses?" The corners of Ohnoki's mouth, which were originally slightly raised, bent downwards.

"Hmm? How many people are left in the army?" Ohnoki was a little bit incredulous when he saw the number of words on the encrypted scroll.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and opened them again, but the number of words on the list did not change, it was still three hundred and twenty-three, without an extra one in front.

boom!
Ohnoki couldn't help but punch the office with an expression of disbelief on his face.

That's a full 2,000 ninja army. It's 2,000 ninjas, not 2,000 samurai or ordinary people. How could it become 323 directly after a defeat?

Ohnogi was about to faint, as only a little over 300 of the 2,000 ninja troops were left.

Iwagakure had been developing in hiding for a long time, and had accumulated a capital of 12,000 ninjas. However, they were defeated in one battle and almost one-sixth of them were lost.

His original idea was to use the advantage of numbers to win a small victory over Konoha and consume Konoha's ninja power. Then, after Konoha sent more people, Xiaoyan would lose to Konoha once, and then he would continue to hide and observe the situation.

The number of casualties that Ohnoki could accept was 500. After all, it was a real fight with real guns and swords, and it was unrealistic to have no casualties.

But Oonoki couldn't accept the fact that almost seventeen thousand people died in one go.

Among these 1,700 ninjas, there are some jonin and elite members of the Iwagakure blasting team. How long will it take the Iwagakure Village to train so many ninjas again?

Ohnoki read all the information carefully with a gloomy face.

If he were to sum it up, it would be that Yan Ku's eagerness for quick success and instant benefits led his troops into the abyss.

The greatest responsibility must be borne by Yan Ku, as he is the acting commander and the one who gives the orders.

Moreover, Yanku is already dead, so no matter how big the responsibility is, Yanku will not object.

"Let them all come back." Oonoki gave the order.

Although three hundred ninjas are not a small number, the two thousand ninja troops have been defeated. Letting the remaining three hundred people stay would be a waste of lives, so it is better to call them back directly.

After all, a dead person can’t handle such a big thing.

Immediately afterwards, Ohnoki quickly convened a high-level meeting and informed all the senior leaders of Iwagakure of the latest information from the battlefield.

After reading the information, Hui's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

When sending additional reinforcements, he analyzed the benefits of sending more reinforcements one by one.

The front-line troops are now suffering heavy losses, and he is partly responsible for it.

Because if he had not stood up and supported the sending of reinforcements, even if all the Grass Country troops in Iwagakure were killed, the casualties would not have reached the number of 1,700.

"The casualties are approaching seventeen thousand. How many classes of students must graduate from the Ninja School to train so many qualified ninjas. I said at the beginning that maintaining unchanged is the safest option!" Iwagakure elder Muhua glanced at Hui and Chongjing and said with dissatisfaction.

Muhua still remembers clearly how Hui and Chongjing refuted him.

Now looking at Hui and Chongjing's guilty looks, Muhua appeared angry on the surface but was secretly happy in his heart.

Hui subconsciously looked at Ōnoki, but Ōnoki did not show any sign of wanting to speak.

Hui showed a thoughtful expression, and then said:
“Elder Muhua, that’s not what you mean. Although we suffered heavy losses this time, it doesn’t mean there is something wrong with our plan.

Our troops beat the Konoha troops and made them flee in panic, which proves that we are on the right track."

“It’s just that something unexpected happened to the people who were carrying out the mission. Iwakuni was not as mature as Lieshi, so he fell into Konoha’s trap.

If Yanku had not taken that radical action, our plan would have been successfully completed.”

In fact, the overall trend of this Iwagakure war was similar to what Iwagakure wanted, both winning first and then losing, but the loss was too tragic.

Since the commanders for the win and loss were different, Hui cleverly attributed the win to their plan and put the blame for the loss on the already dead Iwaku.

"Moreover, our important fighting force Jinchūriki also had problems. He actually performed full tailed beast transformation in the center of the army without hesitation. In order to kill Konoha ninjas, he used the Tailed Beast Ball on his companions who were fighting. This is simply intentional killing!
I suggest a psychological evaluation for Old Purple, he may have been driven insane by the chakra of the tailed beasts."

"If Lao Zi can use his power correctly to fight for Iwagakure, then even if the troops cannot defeat Konoha's troops, breaking through should not be a problem."

Hui turned around and put the blame on Lao Zi again. He didn't know whether it was easy to break through at that time, but now is an important moment to share the blame, and the important thing is to sound reasonable.

"That's right. A Jinchūriki like Lao Zi is too dangerous and must be kept under close watch. If necessary, the Four Tails can be drawn out and a new Jinchūriki can be selected." Ju Jing nodded.

So many ninjas died, and an explanation had to be given from all sides. And it just so happened that Lao Zi had such a big flaw, he couldn't think of any reason not to put the blame on Lao Zi.

Chongjing and Hui analyzed the situation and tried their best to put some blame on Iwagakure, a high-ranking official who died in the army.

In short, the core is that there is no problem with their plan and direction, but the actual execution by the troops fails.

Mu Hua remained silent. Although they had different political views, the conflict was not so serious that he would take advantage of the situation. A few sarcastic remarks would be enough.

"Let's leave the matter of the troop's defeat here for now. What we need to pay attention to is the strength shown by Konoha in this war." Ohnoki said.

Sharing the blame is a very important thing, but what is more important than sharing the blame is analyzing the opponent.

The real big thing is to defeat other big ninja villages and make Iwagakure the number one ninja village in the ninja world.

"Hanyu Muyue, this man will definitely be the next big enemy of Iwagakure." Oonoki said with a serious face.

Ohnoki took out another stack of information and threw it in front of the Iwagakure senior executives.

The senior members of Iwagakure picked it up and looked through it, and found that it was Mu Yue's personal information, which recorded all the information that Iwagakure could investigate.

"The first time he was on the battlefield was two and a half years ago, which was also the battlefield of the Land of Grass. At that time, his strength was only slightly stronger than that of Kari, and he could only serve as a supporting role in the battle with the Jinchūriki." Oonoki said.

He paid close attention to Mu Yue and Namikaze Minato, and now he knows all the information about Mu Yue by heart.

“But when he showed up at the Mist Battlefield on the east coast of the Land of Fire last year, his strength was far greater than before.

The famous Ice Release Ninja Mizunotsuki Kan and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Kirigakure encountered his team together. In the end, only two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen survived, and most of the ninjas, including Mizunotsuki Kan, were killed by Hanyu Muyue. "

"And in the subsequent wars, the powerful member of the Hozuki clan, Hozuki Zangetsu, was also killed by Hanyu Muyue. Hanyu Muyue even teamed up with Orochimaru to kill a Jinchūriki whose tailed beast ran wild in the war."

“It’s only been a year.”

As the Iwagakure executives looked at Mu Yue's information and listened to Ōnoki's explanation, an image of a super genius instantly appeared in their minds.

"Until this year, he was still getting stronger at an astonishing rate." Ohnoki continued in a deep voice.

"His Ice Release was only revealed during the battle with Kirigakure last year. Now he can freeze Jinchūriki in ice. The most powerful Ice Release can kill more than a dozen Jonin in an instant."

"Old Zi, who has not yet fully transformed into a tailed beast, has almost no ability to fight back against his water jutsu."

As they got to know Mu Yue better, the top leaders of Yanyin found it more and more outrageous.

It's not like they haven't seen strong young men before, such as Minato Namikaze of Konoha.

However, compared to Mu Yue, Namikaze Minato is undoubtedly much more normal. Before he killed so many people on the battlefield, Namikaze Minato was already a well-known senior ninja.

Every time Mu Yue appeared, his strength increased dramatically, as if he had just entered a period of rapid growth, which was very scary.

"He seldom used Fire Style in the battles with our troops this year, but you have to know one thing, he earned the title of Blazing Sun on the battlefield of Kirigakure, and Fire Style was his best ninjutsu before."

"I have no doubt that he can become a ninja who is proficient in all attributes like the Third Hokage. If he reaches the level of the Third Hokage, he will be stronger than the Third Hokage because he also masters Ice Release and Flying Thunder God Technique."

When Ōnoki described Mu Yue in this way, the Iwagakure leaders instantly broke out in a sweat.

The Third Hokage was already extremely strong, and now no ninja in the ninja world dares to say that he can definitely defeat the Third Hokage.

If Mu Yue can become an enhanced version of the Third Hokage, then there is a high probability that Mu Yue will become the recognized number one in the ninja world.

Looking at the expressions of the senior executives, Ohnoki nodded slightly in his heart.

If he said this and the top leaders still fail to realize the harm of Mu Yue and only regard Mu Yue as a character similar to Namikaze Minato, then Iwagakure will be doomed.

"If there is a chance to kill Hanyu Muyue, it will be worth it even if it means sacrificing a ninja army of 2,000 people!" Oonoki said seriously.

If there really is an enhanced version of the Third Hokage, it would be no less important to the current ninja world than the resurrection of Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha.

The Iwagakure leaders all nodded in agreement.

A troop of 2,000 people can be trained over time, but a genius with such a high upper limit like Mu Yue may only appear once in a hundred years.

Not to mention a ninja army of two thousand people, they even felt that even if a ninja army of three thousand people were used in exchange for Mu Yue's life, it would not be a loss.

On this day, Mu Yue topped the Yanyin Kill List.
