Chapter 512 Strategic Adjustment

When Rasa, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others arrived at Suna Ninja Village, they only saw a dilapidated and looted Ninja Village.

Luo Sha stood expressionlessly on a mountaintop on the edge of the horizon, looking at the ruins of his home and saying nothing for a long time.

Beside him, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to say something comforting, but he didn't know how to speak. In the end, it just turned into a sigh.

After much time, the two guards completed their reconnaissance and came back to report to them.

"Lord Feng Ying, there was a battle in the Skyline Canyon, and analysis from the scene shows that we were defeated." One of Luo Sha's guards said with a hint of tears.

"Judging from the traces on the battlefield, our companions who faced the Iwa Ninja army on the front line may not have successfully evacuated."

"They were attacked from both sides, and they should have all died or surrendered in the end."

After hearing this, Luo Sha's whole body was trembling. He forced himself to remain calm and asked, "Do you know the approximate casualty data?"

The guard shook his head and said: "The battlefield was too badly damaged and was ravaged by the Tailed Beast Jade, so it is impossible to calculate specific data, but at least several thousand people died in the battle."

Luo Sha took a deep breath. Thousands of people. As Kazekage, he knew what thousands of people meant to Suna Ninja Village.

He asked: "Go to several nearby resettlement sites to see how many people have been transferred."

"Also check the status of Ryosuke and Gaara."

"Yes." Several guards quickly dispersed after receiving the order.

After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen also wanted to know about the situation of Suna Ninja, so he also stayed and waited for their replies.

After a while, several guards returned one after another. Also returning with them were many sand ninjas who had been transferred in advance, including Marki.

Maki brought back the news that Gaara was still safe and sound, but there was no whereabouts of Ryosuke.

"Kazekage-sama, Ryosuke asked me to take the civilians and children to move ahead of time. He brought about five thousand ninjas to stop the Iwa nin in the sky."

"But until the fighting here ended, no one escaped."

At this moment, Luo Sha's last illusion was shattered. Unable to hold on any longer, a mouthful of blood spurted out and he fell straight down.

Several guards quickly stepped forward to support Luo Sha.

Luo Sha said to Ma Ji: "Ma Ji, gather everyone and go to the south to choose a place to build a new Ninja Village. Let's give up here."

"Send someone to negotiate with the Iwa Ninja again. As long as the Iwa Ninja is willing to let go of the Suna Ninja, all other conditions can be easily negotiated."

With tears in his eyes, Ma Ji said, "Yes."

Afterwards, Rasa took the initiative to say goodbye to Sarutobi Hiruzen and left One-Tian.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Rasa leave, and suddenly felt like he was witnessing the beginning of a new era.

The fall of Sand Ninja Village had an unimaginable impact on an old man like Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The Iwa ninja are getting stronger and stronger, and a great ninja village has been captured. This has never happened before." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself.

"Is the so-called second-generation adult policy that I have insisted on all these years wrong?"

"It's because I've been busy with internal fighting that I gave the Iwa Ninja the chance to rise."

At this moment, a character flashed through Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind: Kagami Uchiha, who was sent away by a black hand by himself and his good friend Danzo.

White Fang was killed by public opinion.

Orochimaru was driven away by himself.

Jiraiya was killed by the Kumo ninja and the Iwa ninja in order to follow Orochimaru's footsteps.

Minato Namikaze and his wife died trying to seal the Kyuubi.

Uchiha Shisui who lost his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Uchiha Fugaku might have died at his own hands.

And Uchiha Itachi, who is about to become the scapegoat and defect this time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally regretted: "It would be great if these people were still here, it would be great if Konoha could be united like Iwa Ninja."

"Second Generation Sir, I have betrayed your trust. I should not have sacrificed those heroes who shed blood for the village just for my own selfish desires."

At this time, one of Sarutobi Hiruzen's guards came forward and asked, "Sandaime-sama, are we going back to the village?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's somewhat dull eyes slowly focused on the person in front of him, then nodded and said, "Go back."

Taking another look at the Sand Ninja Village abandoned by Rasa, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a few guards on his way back to Konoha Village.

This time Sarutobi Hiruzen ran for nothing, but he always felt like something was blocking him in his heart.

While Sarutobi Hiruzen was still rushing back, the Konoha army that Tsunade promised Rasa to mobilize had already reached the border between Fire and Earth.

But at this time, Tsunade had received information from Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the Sand Ninja Village was gone. So the Konoha army did not cross the border.

The army only stayed at the border for a while, and after confirming that the Iwa ninja had returned, Tsunade recalled the entire army.

…

At this time, Yi Chen had already flown back to the Iwa Ninja Village with Zai Jie, Uchiha Izumi and the twenty-odd children of the Uchiha clan rescued by Kakashi.

Uchiha Izumi temporarily lived outside the Iwa Ninja Village. In order to accompany Uchiha Izumi, Zaiji also temporarily moved out of the Loess Family and arranged a temporary residence near Uchiha Izumi.

Those twenty or so children, like the previous children, were scattered and raised by Yichen among some civilians and middle and lower ninja families in Iwa Ninja Village.

After Onoki returned with his army, Yichen held a high-level meeting.

In Tsuchikage's office, Yichen looked at everyone, and then smiled at Zaijie, who was feeling uncomfortable attending a meeting for the first time, and said, "Zaijie, relax, don't be nervous."

"You're still young, so it doesn't matter if you don't understand now. Learn how your seniors handle affairs."

Zao Jie nodded, but was still a little nervous. Allowing Zao Jie to participate in high-level meetings was equivalent to giving him the status of an honorary advisor.

This is not done because of Zao Kai's strength. Zao Kai does not yet have real Kage level strength. This is done to show the entire ninja world.

Konoha desperately rejected Uchiha, and finally did not hesitate to massacre the largest clan in the ninja world.

However, the Iwa Ninja were willing to accept Uchiha, and when the Uchiha clan had just been wiped out and had no home, they made an Uchiha become a high-ranking official. This was playing against Konoha.

Therefore, Onoki and others are very polite about early quitting. From this moment on, the treatment of the children of the Uchiha clan by the Iwa ninja will not be worse than that of the Uzumaki clan.

The Uzumaki clan has yet to have a real high-level leader.

Sitting next to him was Shinya Matsutani, an honorary advisor with the same status as him.

Matsutani Nobu also quietly said to Zaojie: "Junior brother, don't worry about what Teacher Yichen and others say, just listen. It's easy to attend this kind of meeting, just take a nap and pass."

Even though he was stupid to quit early, he was still surprised by Shinya Matsutani’s magical brain circuit. He stuttered and asked in a low voice: "Is this really okay?"

Yichen knocked on the office with his hand and said, "Of course not. Don't learn from this lazy guy, but follow the example of Senior Han."

Han on the other side scratched his head in embarrassment. Although he had participated in several high-level meetings, he had actually done nothing.

He felt that although Matsutani Shinya's words were a bit strange, the essence seemed to be correct.

Yichen ignored the three honorary advisers and asked Ohnoki: "How are the arrangements in the Kingdom of Wind?"

Onoki said: "I left fifteen hundred ninjas in the Kingdom of Wind, chose an oasis with a good location, and prepared to establish a branch of the Kingdom of Wind."

Yichen looked at the location pointed by Onomu, frowned and said, "The Kingdom of Wind is really big. This branch has to manage half of the Kingdom of Wind, so the pressure is still too great."

"Let's do this. Allocate a small half of the northern and eastern part of the Country of Wind to Nagato of the Country of Rain."

"The Akatsuki organization is our ally. This time we boldly sent troops to conquer the Sand Ninja Village, which violated our agreement. This territory will be used as compensation."

"Choose a new location to establish a branch in the greater part of the west."

Ikura said: "Then the Mist Ninja Village should also express their gratitude."

Yichen shook his head and said: "This is exactly the theme of today's meeting. We will discuss it later."

"After delimiting a large area, the area managed by the Kingdom of Wind branch is still too large, and 1,500 people are not enough."

"In addition, the construction of the new branch will also require a lot of manpower. Let's transfer a thousand ninjas from the village."

"The staff of several other branches should have suffered some losses this time, and some of them have been intercepted in the Kingdom of Wind branch, so there are more or less vacancies."

"These vacancies will be reserved for now and will be filled when the new class of Ninja School students graduates."

After saying that, Yichen looked at Zhizihui and asked: "Is this enough adjustment of manpower?"

Zhizihui nodded and said: "That's enough. There were a lot of new graduates last year. Although we have lost some in the Country of Wind and the Country of Bears these days, we can still accept it."

"It's just that once the little white ball research you mentioned last time begins, a large number of manpower will inevitably be mobilized from various departments. By then, the manpower will not be enough."

Yichen nodded and said: "Don't worry, Little White Ball Research will not recruit so many people at once, and it won't be able to use so many people at the beginning."

"By the time the research group slowly expands, the new graduates will have already graduated."

Zhizihui nodded and said, "By the way, the students who graduated last year grew up very quickly in the actual combat between the Country of Wind and the Country of Bears."

"Should we arrange for the new graduates to graduate early? It just so happens that this large area in the northern part of the Kingdom of Wind still needs us to clean up."

"Bandits, wandering ninjas, and traitorous ninjas are all good training targets. Don't waste such a large area."

Yichen thought for a while and nodded, then said: "Then let's arrange for them to graduate early, and then the Chuunin exams will also be held early. Let's make arrangements in the next few days."

Zhizihui nodded and said, "No problem."

Yichen continued: "Did Luo Sha take the initiative to send someone over for peace talks? If I ask for more from Suna Ninja this time, Luo Sha will definitely give it to me."

Kawakita said: "We have evacuated Suna Ninja Village, and there is nothing left that Luo Sa can use."

Yichen said: "This is easy to handle. Let Luo Sha use the gold sand to pay the war compensation."

"The amount should be the same as the amount I turned into using light escape gas in Konoha."

"Tell Luo Sa, tell him openly, from now on, we Iwa ninja will not target Suna ninja again."

"If this is not the case, we Iwa Ninja will help their Sand Ninja Village retain its position as one of the six major Ninja Villages."

Ikura and Kawakita looked at each other and thought: "Sure enough, the Third Generation has guessed it right."

Yi Chen continued: "We don't have to worry about the Suna Ninja in the future. At least the Suna Ninja will not pose a threat to us for a few years. During this period, even if Konoha and Kumo Ninja have the opportunity to severely damage us, the Suna Ninja will have to weigh it before they want to intervene."

"Don't let the more than a thousand prisoners of the Sand Ninja go back yet, keep them to help us build the branch. If necessary, you can also help our newcomers practice their skills."

"Wait until the Sand Ninja has recovered its strength in two years before putting it back."

Ming was a little worried and asked: "Put them all back? Will the tiger return to its mountain?"

Yichen said: "Putting it back now is of course a way to let the tiger return to its mountain range. This is the time when the Sand Ninja is most short of manpower."

"But in the next few years, even if the Suna Ninja is short of funds, they will recruit a large number of new people. Once the Suna Ninja completes the recruitment of new people, we will put back these more than a thousand people."

"When the time comes, Luo Sha will still have a headache about how to feed these people. He will only have a headache because there are too few tasks, not enough for the suddenly extra ninjas."

"Okay, let's talk about Konoha. Is there any accurate information from Konoha? Is there anything going on in Kajiyama? Has he sent back any useful information?"

Ban shook his head and said: "They are under house arrest in Kajiyama. All their external channels have been cut off, and they can only communicate with the village through spiritualism."

"They in Kajiyama can't get information about Konoha. Now we can only get information that Konoha deliberately disclosed to the outside world."

"The Uchiha clan has been wiped out. Konoha announced to the outside world that Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui and other Uchiha clan members are all dead."

"The entire Uchiha clan only has two brothers, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke. Konoha put the blame on Uchiha Itachi, and it is said that this matter was endorsed by the only survivor, Uchiha Sasuke."

After hearing what Saka said, everyone looked at Zaojie who had his head lowered and felt depressed, but no one deliberately interrupted the discussion for Zaojie.

Yichen nodded and said: "Uchiha Shisui is probably not dead, but it is unlikely that Uchiha Fugaku is alive."

After a pause, Yichen said: "Just like this, I don't know if Uchiha Fugaku's eyes will be transplanted to Uchiha Shisui."

Ban was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this.

Yichen asked: "Where is Hatake Kakashi? I killed a team of Konoha Anbu and framed the blame on him. Has there been any information related to him in Konoha?"

Ban shook his head and said: "No, I have not received any information related to Hatake Kakashi."

Yichen thought for a while and said: "Find a way to make this matter public in Konoha to make it impossible for Kakashi to stay in Konoha."

"We can ask Danzo for help with publicity matters. Danzo should be happy to help us. By the way, do you have any recent information about Danzo?"

Ban said with a strange look on his face: "Yes, many. Basically Danzo himself promoted them."

"The intelligence claimed that Danzo easily repelled the army led by Ikura and Kawakita alone."

Ikura and Kawakita looked at each other, both speechless. They walked around the border between Fire and Earth, performed a scene, and then went to the Bear Country.

The two of them didn't even see Danzo in person, but Danzo actually had the nerve to publicize this matter.

Ban continued: "Konoha is spreading rumors right now. Originally, our attack target was Konoha Village. But Danzo pushed us back, so we retreated and chose Suna Ninja Village."

"In addition, Danzo also suggested that Tsunade is from the Senju clan and she was jealous of the Uchiha clan, which is why she allowed the Uchiha clan to be exterminated by Uchiha Itachi."

"Subsequently, Danzo also proposed to train Uchiha Sasuke himself, but this seems to have failed."

Yichen smiled and said: "Duanzo is really surprisingly capable. Next, I will help Danzo in the negotiations with Konoha."

"Continue to increase Danzo's prestige in Konoha, and if necessary, you can even ask for less compensation from Konoha."

Tomoko Hui blinked and asked: "Konoha's compensation? We and Konoha did not engage in a substantial war, and Konoha was not defeated. How could they agree to compensate us?"

Yichen smiled and said without explanation, "Send someone to talk to you first."

"Next, let's discuss the Mist Ninja, or in other words, discuss the village's future strategic policy."

"After the capture of Sand Ninja Village, the situation in the ninja world has changed again."

"The temporary withdrawal of the Suna Ninja is inevitable. In this case, the alliance between Konoha, Kumo Ninja, and Suna Ninja will no longer exist."

"The hostile alliance no longer exists. It's hard to say whether our alliance with the Akatsuki Organization and the Mist Ninja can still be maintained."

"It stands to reason that the Mist Ninja may abandon us now and directly cooperate with Konoha and Kumo Ninja."

"But I don't know what the old fox, Mist Ninja Yuanshi, thinks. Mist Ninja's attitude still needs to be tested."

"That's why I didn't call the Mist Ninja for this operation, and I didn't share the cake with the Mist Ninja this time."

Having said this, Yichen calmed down and gave everyone time to digest.

After a while, Yichen continued: "Next, let's discuss our key targets for suppression in the future."

Ban said: "The six major ninja villages and Suna ninja have been suppressed, and the Akatsuki organization is the target of wooing them."

"No matter whether the Mist Ninja is on our side in the end or not, he cannot be the target of our suppression. The Mist Ninja Village is too far away."

"In this case, we actually have only two choices, either to suppress Konoha or to suppress the Kumo ninja."

Yichen nodded and said, "Yes, who do you think is the right choice?"

Ming said: "With the three Kage-level Kumo ninjas, how many are there in Konoha now?"

Onoki said: "Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo. Apart from these three people, the conditions of Kakashi Hatake and Shisui Uchiha are uncertain."

"Also, although Uchiha Itachi and Orochimaru are rebel ninjas of Konoha, they will still stand by Konoha at critical times."

"This is the same even if Kakashi Hatake defectes."

After listening to Onoki's words, Ming looked at the strong men from Iwa Ninja Village present and said, "So, Konoha's strength is actually not weaker than ours."

Except for Lao Zi, all the Iwa ninjas with Kage level strength are here.

They are Yichen, Onoki, Yicang, Huangtu, Chuanbei, Han, Song Guxinye and Zaojie.

Quitting early is still a bit reluctant.

The total number of Kage levels of Iwa Ninja is slightly more than that of Konoha, but Iwa Ninja also has more enemies, so there is almost no advantage against Konoha.

Ming then said: "It seems that it is too difficult to suppress Konoha, so I can only choose Kumo Ninja first."

Ban said: "You can't calculate it that way. Although Konoha no longer has the Uchiha clan, there is still Danzo, so Konoha is still not united."

"And Uchiha Itachi and Orochimaru are rebel ninjas after all. Even if they have their hearts set on Konoha, they cannot be completely treated as Konoha ninjas."

"We are only suppressing Konoha, not starting a full-scale war with Konoha. There is no need to include these rebel ninjas."

"I feel that instead of suppressing the united Kumo ninja, it is better to continue dividing Konoha."

Ikura and Kawakita both nodded. Tomoko Kei thought about it and felt that what Ban said made sense. Others also held the same view.

Yichen looked around and said: "It seems that everyone agrees to suppress Konoha, so that's it. Next, the strategic goal of the village will shift from Suna Ninja and start to suppress Konoha."

"In the past, our method of suppressing Suna Ninja was to attack the economy of Suna Ninja Village. Let's talk about suppressing Konoha. What is the focus of our attack?"

This time there was no need for discussion. Everyone said almost in unison: "Infighting!"

Yichen said: "Okay, we have the direction. The main way to suppress Konoha is to provoke internal strife in Konoha."

"Let's discuss what specific methods are available."

After a long time, the discussion ended and Yichen said: "From now on, we will focus on attacking Konoha according to the methods discussed today."

"Yes." Everyone responded.

Then Yichen looked at Zaojie and asked: "Haojie, what's going on with Uchiha Izumi? Do you think it's possible for her to join the Iwa Ninja Village?"

Zao Jie shook his head and said, "Not yet, Sister Quanluo is still very repulsive to the village."

"But with the children we rescued here, she won't be hostile to the village."

Yichen nodded and said: "Let's do this. Uchiha Izumi will arrange to live outside the village. If you quit early, you can go and see him more often."

"If you have time, take your younger brothers and sisters to get closer to her. Not only you Uchiha children, but also the children of the Uzumaki clan, Neji, Kurama Yakumo and the others."

"If she wants to see those children, she can enter the village accompanied by you."

Zao Jie nodded and said, "I understand."

Yichen said: "Okay, the heavy topic is over, let's talk about everyone's gains this time."

Everyone looked at Ming first.

Ming also smiled slightly and said: "The large amount of materials brought back from Sand Ninja Village has been calculated. This is the biggest profit for the village in these years."

"Even the poorest Ninja Village among the Great Ninja Villages, the wealth accumulated by Suna Ninja Village far exceeds that of Yu Ninja Village."

These materials are currently still in the Kingdom of Wind. I plan to use some of them to build the Kingdom of Wind branch and transport the rest back.

This part of the material is enough for the little white ball to experiment for a while.

Everyone laughed.

Seeing this, Yichen took out a few scrolls given by Uchiha Fugaku and said: "This contains the wealth accumulated by the Uchiha clan. I plan to take out 10% of it and give it to the early warning."

"Let the early warning be used to train those Uchihas scattered in the village."

"Everything else is confiscated. Of course, some contribution value will be calculated for the Uchiha clan. In the future, these children can exchange for ninjutsu when they grow up."

Everyone nodded.

Zhizihui said curiously: "Teacher Yichen, where did you get these scrolls?"

Yichen said: "Uchiha Fugaku gave it to me. He asked me to take care of his two sons."

"If you have the opportunity in the future, brainwash Uchiha Sasuke, tell him the truth about the genocide, let him know his brother's difficulties, don't hate his brother, just treat it as repaying Uchiha Fugaku's favor."

Everyone:......

I have never seen such a shameless person.

Telling Uchiha Sasuke the truth, is this taking care of him? Is this pushing him into a pit of fire?

If the top management of Konoha knew that Uchiha Sasuke had learned the truth, would they still let him grow?

However, no one said anything, but pretended to look at the scrolls with curiosity, as if they were all very curious about the wealth accumulated by the Uchiha clan.
