Konoha: The road to the gods starting from Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 21 The disappeared ninjas of the Kozhi clan
The country of grass, north.

A certain village has become the headquarters of the Iwa Ninja Army.

In the center of the village.

A rather luxurious-looking mansion, which used to be the residence of the village chief. However, the original residents had fled long before the arrival of the Iwa Ninja. The Iwa Ninja Army unceremoniously commandeered the mansion and moved it away. The highest frontline command post is located here.

In the tea room of the mansion,

"The news just came that the troops commanded by the East Dead Man... were completely destroyed." The speaker was a man who looked very old. His name was Huang Tu, and he was the son of the Sandaime Tsuchikage. Although He is only 27 years old, but he is already the top commander of the frontline troops of the Iwa Ninja Army in the Country of Grass.

Speaking of,
The 27-year-old Huang Tu doesn’t look very young.

I don't know if it's because he was born in a hurry or because he was under too much pressure... In short, he has deep wrinkles on his forehead, dark circles and bags under his eyes, and a shaggy beard on his chin. It can be seen that he looks better. It hasn't been trimmed or groomed for days.

"How could it be? Didn't that guy from the East Dead Man say that he had almost penetrated Konoha's defense line? How come..."

The person who answered was also an Iwa Ninja who was about the same age as Huang Tu. However, unlike Huang Tu, he did not have a beard and only had two long lines of eye shadow under his eyes.

His name is Wenya.

He is the best player among Loess and others of his generation. If Huo Guang and Dashi are considered to be in the middle class, then Wenya is the top player. He has a stable personality, reliable work, and good command ability, so he is regarded as the third generation of Earth. Shadow was selected as Huang Tu's deputy.

now,

When he came in a hurry, he was shocked when he heard what Huang Tu said.After the initial shock, he hurriedly asked: "Konoha's reinforcements have arrived? Have you scouted how many people have arrived? I will organize people now, but I just went to check the inventory, kunai, shuriken It’s not even enough, so I have to urge the village to send it over quickly.”

Ninja fighting doesn't mean that you use ninjutsu to attack each other throughout the whole process!
In fact,
Due to the limitation of chakra amount, ninjutsu is often reserved for the final word. Except for those fierce men who are born with chakra, most ninjas mainly rely on physical combat whether they are fighting or fighting. , long-range attacks rely on throwing kunai and shuriken...

Therefore,
Ninja wars also rely heavily on logistics. If the logistics can't keep up...then the frontline ninjas won't even have enough kunai and shurikens, and they'll have to fight a fart battle. That's why the Iwa ninja, as the attacker, will He attaches great importance to the supply route behind his home.

however--

"No need to be busy."

Huang Tu shook his head gloomily.

"What do you mean?"

Wen Ya, who was calculating how many manpower he would need to mobilize to continue the frontline offensive, frowned and realized something was wrong. At this time, he looked at Huang Tu carefully and found that Huang Tu's face was quite bad. He looked as ugly as he had in the past few years. Same as when my mother passed away!
"Judging from the traces left on the frontline battlefield, it should have been Konoha's yellow flash that annihilated the East Dead People and the others."

"Yellow flash?"

Wenya raised his eyebrows.

This is indeed troublesome news.

Even though there is only one person in the yellow flash, this kind of top powerhouse plays one against many, just like the Sandaime Raikage fought alone against ten thousand Iwa ninjas in order to cut off the new generation of Kumo ninjas. The army took three days and three nights to kill the Sandaime Raikage!

And the yellow flash of the leaves,

Don't look young,

But there is no doubt that he is a top powerhouse who can defeat many with one hand just like the Sandaime Raikage.

Encountering this kind of enemy... is the biggest headache for these commanders!
Before he could think of any way to deal with the threat of yellow flash, he heard Huang Tu speak again: "I asked you to come not only for the front matter, but just now I also received a letter from the back, Kannabi Bridge... ····It was blown up!!!"

"what?!"

Wen Ya suddenly felt as if someone had hit him with a sap, and his head was buzzing!
Did someone blow up the Kannabi Bridge?
Then this, then this is a slap in the face!

The supplies in the temporary warehouse are enough to last two wars.At this time, he finally understood what Huang Tu meant by "no need to work anymore". The supply line was cut off... Then there was really no need to work anymore, and there was no way to fight at all. , if the fight continues, they will definitely suffer.

It’s better to stop the loss as soon as possible!

"...So, Huoguang and the others..."

"There is no news from them all. There is a high probability that something happened."

"Then... what should we do next?"

Wen Ya looked at Huang Tu.

Although he knew very well that there were no extra options to choose from at the moment, Huang Tu was the supreme commander, and it was Huang Tu who made the final decision on such a major matter.

Hearing Wen Ya ask,

Huang Tu said nothing with a dark face.

Just then-

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door. As soon as the person entered the yard, he shouted loudly: "Master Huang Tu, something happened!!!"

this voice,

Huang Tu, who was worried, suddenly felt a thump in his heart. He didn't ask out loud what happened, and his mood couldn't stop falling. After all, just by hearing that sound, he knew that something was definitely not good.

"Gayawon, what are you looking like in a panic? What did you say slowly?"

Wenya walked to the door, stretched out his hand and opened the door, looked at the young rock ninja named Gayain who rushed over and asked.

"Lord Wen Ya, Lord Huang Tu!"

Seeing Wen Ya and Huang Tu standing in the room, Gaya Academy suddenly seemed to have found a backbone. His panic calmed down a little, and then he said: "It's the Huzhi clan. All the people from the Huzhi clan are gone. !”

"What did you say?"

Loess strode out.

He stared at Gaya Yuan and asked: "The people of the Huzhi clan are missing? What do you mean? Can such people...can they be lost?"

"Lotus-sama, I really can't find him. At first, the chunin in charge of the duty station of the Kozhi clan didn't show up. He thought there was some delay, so he sent someone to look for him. But the person who went there said he couldn't find him. Not only was the missing Chuunin missing, but the rest of the Kozhi clan were also missing..."

Hear this,

Huang Tu's brows suddenly furrowed and he asked directly: "Have you searched for the Sensing Ninja?"

"After searching, I can't detect the chakra of anyone from the Huzhi clan around the station."

"Did the sentry ask?"

"I asked, and they said everything is normal!"

"..."

Huang Tu suddenly fell silent with an ugly expression.

"Huang Tu, send someone to report to the village!" Wen Ya sighed softly at this time, "Whether it is the situation we are facing now or the suspected defection of the Huzhi clan... We must report to Lord Tsuchikage as soon as possible.”
