Konoha: The road to the gods starting from Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 88 News of the defeat

Urgent?

The boy and the girl looked at each other, and they could only see confusion in each other's eyes. Obviously they didn't know what emergency had happened and they wanted to go to them, but the person who asked them to go down was none other than Zhengyun Zhengyi, so what they did was All we can do is respond to the elderly’s call as soon as possible.

then,

They discovered that they were not the only ones being summoned.

All the Jonin had been summoned and were arriving one after another at the restaurant that served as a temporary conference room.

By the time Yuzhang and Terumi Mei entered the restaurant, seven or eight people were already seated.

"Patriarch, what happened?"

Yuzhang came to Dashan's side and asked in a low voice.

Mei Terumi did not go to sit in the ranks of the mist ninjas opposite, but sat down next to Yuzhang. When she heard Yuzhang's quiet inquiry, she immediately looked over curiously.

After Zhuo Yunzheng called them down from the mast just now, he just told them to gather in the restaurant and wait. He sent them away without giving the girl a chance to find out the information. Even now, she still didn't know because Why did the Jonin gather together?

Dashan looked at the young girl sitting next to him and smiled, then quickly stopped his smile and lowered his voice to explain: "Just now, Zhengyi and I were playing chess, and he suddenly received an urgent letter. I don’t know exactly what was written in it, but judging from the reaction of the politicians at the time, it shouldn’t be good news.”

If it's not good news, it's bad news.

And this bad news has also affected this group of people.

otherwise,

There will be no meetings among the jonins.

After a while

The jonins arrived one after another. There were four jonins from the Kozhi clan and nine jonins from the Kiri ninja. A total of 13 jonins were present.

"The situation is urgent. I won't talk nonsense and will talk to you directly."

Zhuoyun Zhengyi sat at the top of the long table, looked around and saw that everyone was listening quietly, and then said in a deep voice: "I just received an urgent report that... the front line was defeated."

"what?"

Bi's expression suddenly changed.

"How, how, how could it be so fast?"

He knew the unfavorable information about the war on the front line. Although they were drifting at sea, they had always maintained contact with the village. The ninjas had the communication methods of the ninjas. The practice of using psychic beasts to transmit information dates back to the Warring States Period. Someone did it.

"Didn't I say that I withstood Konoha's counterattack a few days ago? And didn't Mizukage-sama also make a counterattack plan..."

Bi stared at Yaoyun Zhengyi and asked eagerly.

"The counterattack failed."

Zhuo Yunzheng looked gloomy.

to be frank,
He was not optimistic about Master Mizukage's counterattack. To put it more bluntly, after Konoha defeated Suna Ninja, Kumo Ninja and Iwa Ninja, he no longer had any hope of defeating Konoha. , it is a pity that others are floating on the sea and it is difficult to interfere in the affairs of the village.

Moreover,

Even if he is in the village, he may not be able to play any role. His younger brother Yuzo clearly told him in a private message that Lord Mizukage's attitude is extremely firm, and even the advice of Genshi cannot stop Lord Mizukage's decision.

finally,
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen who were directly under the Mizukage took action according to the Yondaime's orders.

Then--

Suffered a great defeat.

"I don't know the specific situation. The letter just said that the front line suffered a huge defeat and our side suffered heavy losses. In particular, the troop transport ship parked in the port was burned to [-]% by the Konoha ninjas who raided it. Even though it was said that many people had died on the battlefield. , but the few remaining troop transport ships cannot take away the remaining people..."

Speaking of which,

Sakumo Masato took a breath and then continued: "Some of our companions are moving towards the southern coast, being chased by Konoha ninjas, and we happen to be not far from the southern coast. Master Mizukage ordered us to go to the rescue. Save these companions if possible."

Hearing this, all the jounin had different expressions.

To meet the defeated army,

This job... doesn't seem to be easy!
"Master Zhengyi, most of the people on our ship are not ninjas." Bi was the first to speak. They were there to support the Huzhi clan, and most of the people in the Huzhi clan were not ninjas and did not have qualified combat capabilities. .

It would be too cumbersome to carry such a group of people on a rescue mission.

Zhuo Yunzheng glanced at Bi Tie, indicating not to worry, and immediately turned his gaze to the others, "My plan is to divide the troops into two groups. We have five ships. If we let everyone squeeze in a little, they can be divided. With two boats out, and some more manpower assigned, we can pilot the two empty boats to carry out the rescue mission, and the remaining three boats will continue our current mission."

"Are two boats enough?"

Bi asked subconsciously.

"The carrying capacity of five ships is only so large. Even if all five ships are sailed over, there is no way to say that they can accommodate more people." Zhuo Yunzheng glanced at Bi.

"I was confused."

Bi slapped his forehead. He was indeed stupid and spoke without thinking. As Zhuo Yunzhengyi said, the upper limit of a ship's carrying capacity is there. Unless the original passengers on the ship are thrown off the ship, otherwise all the passengers will be lost. There are only so many new passengers that can be accepted.

And throwing the original passengers off the ship is definitely not allowed.

Then,

At this time, it is undoubtedly the best choice to let the original passengers on the ship squeeze out and free up two empty ships.

It can be said that it is the best countermeasure to not only take risks with burdensome people who have no fighting ability, but also to ensure that as many defeated companions as possible are taken over.

"This is a good idea, I have no objection to it."

Bea was the first to respond.

"We don't have any comments either."

Dashan also spoke immediately.

Then the jonins all agreed, and no one raised any objection.

"Bi, go and direct the people below to free up two empty boats now."

No one raised any objections. Zhuo Yunzheng was unambiguous and immediately issued the order.

"Yes, I'll go right now."

Bi decisively agreed.

Not daring to waste time, he immediately left the restaurant and started working according to Soun Masaichi's order.

And inside the restaurant,

The meeting continues.

The rescue mission can't just send two boats and sailors, it must also be accompanied by a group of ninjas. After all, according to the letter, the Konoha ninjas are chasing down their fleeing companions, so the rescue mission is very likely. There will be battles.

Therefore,
Not only do we need to send ninjas, but we also need to send experts.

"For the rescue mission, someone should take the initiative to sign up..."

"I go."

Yuzhang was the first to raise his hand to sign up.

"Count me too."

Yuzhang was delayed for a second when Yousuke opened his mouth.

Seeing that Yuzhang and Yousuke both spoke up, Dashan swallowed back the words that were on his lips. It was enough for Yuzhang and Yousuke to speak. There were only four Jonin in the Kozhi clan, so he sent out two of them at once. The people are enough to prove the loyalty of the Huzhi clan to the village.
