The old man was very happy.

Closing her eyes, Ye Cang's mind was still on the day when she developed the Scorch Escape and excitedly went to the Third Kazekage to report.

Luo Sha and Jia Luluo were still congratulating her with a smile on their faces.

But today's letter was like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard.

Looking at Ye Cang's performance, Ye Ning felt very sympathetic.

Luo Sha's meaning was actually easy to understand.

Even if they knew in their hearts that the death of the Third Kazekage was inseparable from him, they did not dare to turn their faces.

The trade between the Fire Country and the Wind Country was deeply involved, and the exchange of interests was also very deep.

If he fell out with Ye Ning, the Daimyo of Wind Country might not stand on the side of Sand Village.

If the interests of both countries were affected, the Daimyo of Wind Country might even cut off all the funding for Sand Village in a rage.

The Sand Village, which had finally gotten back on track, would be beaten back to its original state.

Luo Sha, the newly appointed Kazekage, didn't dare to gamble at all, so no matter how reluctant he was, he could only swallow his anger.

However, what Ye Ning didn't expect was that Luo Sha would be so decisive.

Not long after the incident, he directly handed over the letter, and directly regarded Ye Cang as the person who killed the Third Kazekage and listed him as an S-level traitor.

The purpose was to make friends with him, the son of the Daimyo, so that the trade between the two countries could continue and the Sand Village could continue to have funds to develop.

Sure enough, the heart of playing politics is dirty.

However, Ye Cang's current situation is much better than her original work.

In the original work, she became famous in the Three Wars and became a hero of Sand Village. But in the war with the Rock Village, the support and help of the Mist Village made the Sand Village leaders sell out this former hero without hesitation.

It was not until the last moment of his life that Ye Cang finally woke up.

Now, this tragic ending has been avoided, right?

Ye Ning couldn't help smacking his lips, but he didn't say anything to comfort her.

In the final analysis, this matter is inseparable from him.

Running over to comfort her at this time is tantamount to rubbing salt into her wounds.

Moreover, looking at her absent-minded appearance now, it is estimated that the fusion of the Burning Release will be delayed for a while.

Ye Ning winked at Shi Lu, indicating that Ye Cang should be watched more closely, and then left.

With Scorpion and Shi Lu watching over him, he was not afraid that Ye Cang would run away.

Besides, even if she ran away, where could she run to?

Judging from the hatred that Ye Cang showed towards the Sand Village at the last moment of her life, Ye Ning believed that she could figure it out.

Luo Sha's move actually pushed an elite ninja to him.

......

----

The ruins of the Whirlpool Country, on the battlefield where Konoha and Kirigakure fought.

In the tent, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the map in his hand and frowned unconsciously.

Since Konoha's troops were divided into three fronts, Kirigakure has taken action and no longer hides to avoid fighting.

Now, Konoha and Kirigakure have had two clashes in total.

These two clashes did not cause too many casualties, just a little bit.

But the situation is already very serious for Konoha.

Kirigakure's assassination team comes to the flank of Konoha's ninja army every night to harass them. Although they can't cause any losses, and they may even be discovered and hurt by the Hyuga clan responsible for guarding, their original purpose has been achieved.

After being harassed for several consecutive nights and unable to rest, the ninjas of Konoha are already miserable.

Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that if the situation continued to drag on, the ninjas of Konoha would completely lose their fighting spirit.

They had to find a way to break the deadlock.

"Hiashi, do you have any good ideas?"

For the first time, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to see Shikaku Nara's face so urgently.

If Shikaku was on the battlefield, he wouldn't have to ask Hiashi again. With the wisdom of the Nara clan, they would definitely be able to figure out a way to break the deadlock at this moment.

Unfortunately, the Nara clan was sent to several other battlefields by him.

"Hokage-sama, I think we only have two options at the moment."

Hinata Hiashi frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Either, we can find a way to wipe out all the Kirigakure ninjas who come to harass us. Or, we can also organize people to attack or harass Kirigakure. But...but our ninjas do not have ninjutsu like Kirigakure's technique. Once they are discovered by Kirigakure, it will be difficult for our ninjas who go to attack to retreat smoothly."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded silently, thinking silently in his heart.

Hinata Hiashi said nothing.

Wrong.

If you want to avoid the night harassment of the Kirigakure Ninja, you must find a way to annihilate them.

But they are difficult to get rid of with the Kirigakure Technique.

Although the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan can see through the Kirigakure Technique, the main force on this battlefield is the Sarutobi clan after all.

It is difficult to eliminate all the Kirigakure Ninjas by relying on the manpower of the Hyuga clan alone.

What's more, after several days of harassment, the Kirigakure Ninjas will definitely be more careful in their next attack.

Even if a trap is set, it is difficult to achieve any results.

In addition to these two roads, there may be another way to choose.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes fell on the map, and his fingers rubbed one of the bulges.

Give up the Whirlpool Country and retreat to Kikyo Mountain on the border of the Fire Country!

The terrain there is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As long as they are stationed there, it will be difficult for Kirigakure to organize an effective attack.

Even if they attacked again at night, they could completely annihilate them with the advantage of terrain.

But giving up the Whirlpool Country and retreating to Mount Kikyo was equivalent to completely giving up the initiative.

In the future, even if they defeated Kirigakure, it would be difficult to organize an effective pursuit.

Kirigakure is close to the coast and can retreat back to the Land of Water at any time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped his fingers gently on the map, and faced a choice in his heart again.

Should he retreat... or choose to organize a group of people to attack Kirigakure and give them a taste of their own medicine?

Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts gradually drifted away, and he began to recall the past.

He seemed to have retreated too many times in his life.

When he and his teacher, the second generation Senju Tobirama, went to sign an alliance treaty with the Hidden Cloud Village, they were surrounded by heavy siege. As the second generation Hokage, Senju Tobirama chose to stay behind alone.

But the disciples who were guarding the Hokage chose to retreat.

Later, even after becoming Hokage, he still gave in repeatedly when facing his old friend Danzo.

The establishment of the Root, the fall of the Whirlpool Country, the restart of Hashirama's cell experiments, including the White Fang incident a few years ago...

It turns out that he has been giving in all the time...

The corners of Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth suddenly rose slightly.

As the third generation Hokage of Konoha, this time, he doesn't want to give in again!

"Hiashi, quickly assemble a surprise attack team and launch an attack on Kirigakure tonight! This operation will be led by... me personally!"
