Chapter 197 Rain Shinobi Village Temporarily Withdraws! Konoha's Wind Starts With Danzo!
An hour back to camp at Fujiwara Tetsuya!
With the support of Orochimaru, Jiraiya and others!
Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to camp safe and sound!
As for the battle with Hanzo!
Fujiwara Tetsuya also learned some inside information from the monkey's mouth!
After Orochimaru led the support to arrive!
Hanzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen chose to end the battle tacitly!
If you must make a comparison!
Between the two of them! It should be a draw!
Perhaps it is to maintain the dignity of the strongest Hokage!
The news of this battle was only spread in a small area!
For the vast majority of Konoha Shinobi!
The winner of the battle! Without a doubt, it's their Hokage!
In the evening!
As night falls!
Those from the Senju clan!
Still couldn't stand the toxins of the Salamander Ibushi! After struggling for several hours!
Close your eyes completely!
There were gradually more suppressed crying sounds in the Konoha camp!
Not just Tsunade! The Senju clan!
And the Konoha Shinobi who also lost their tribesmen and companions!
War is cruel!
For a ninja!
Accepting death! This is the path a ninja must go through to grow from immaturity to maturity!
After all! Not everyone is a savior!
There are some things you just have to get used to and accept!
A few days after the war!
Whether it's Rain Shinobi! or Konoha!
No one took the initiative to attack!
But! According to the information sent back by the reconnaissance team!
Over at Rain Shinobi Village! It seems like there are dozens of ninja teams!
They were madly harvesting the wealth of the surrounding towns and villages!
Regarding this phenomenon!
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru both remained silent!
Before the temporary team of medical ninjas headed by Tsunade could crack Hanzo's poison!
Let's fight to the death with Rain Shinobi Village!
It will only kill more powerful Konoha warriors!
Apparently! The death of nearly forty Konoha Jōnin! Elite Jōnin!
It even made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel heartbroken!
Rain Shinobi removed!
One morning, the camp that had been painstakingly built was set on fire!
And on the way of retreat! Countless roads and bridges were burned!

Dozens of surrounding villages were burned to ashes!
Maybe Hanzo did it on purpose!
Anyway! In the next half month!
The ninjas of Konoha! And the officials sent by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire!
Basically, we are dealing with refugee issues!
When Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru led the main force of Konoha! They chased west again!
The main forces of Rain Shinobi Village have basically withdrawn to the Rain Country!
Only within twenty miles of the Fire Nation!
More than ten small and medium-sized strongholds have been set up!
Send forward ninja guards!
Obviously! Both Hanzo! and Rain Shinobi Village!
They have not given up their ambition to continue invading the Fire Nation!
Once Rain Shinobi Village has completely digested the wealth looted from the Land of Fire!
Comeback! It's just a matter of time!
After the main force of Konoha arrived!
After many surveys, Konoha's newly built camp was located at the foot of a solitary mountain ten miles away from the central base of Rain Shinobi Village!
Except for Gushan!
The terrain is flat all around!
If Rain Shinobi Village were to raid!
The patrolling reconnaissance team can also react immediately!
"Orochimaru! In your opinion!"
"What should we do next!"
Konoha's makeshift tent!
Reinforcements from Sarutobi Hiruzen have arrived at the western border!
It's been nearly a month!
For the shadow of a village! Especially someone like Sarutobi Hiruzen who has a strong desire for control!
A month away from the center of power in the village!
Apparently it is long enough!
So! After taking care of the campsite!
Sarutobi Hiruzen also had the idea of returning to Konoha!
"teacher!"
"Tsunade hasn't developed an antidote for the salamander toxin yet!"
"Moreover! According to the information sent back by the reconnaissance team!"
"The strongholds built by Rain Shinobi Village are very steep and solid!"
"If we want to capture these strongholds, it will probably take a lot of time and cost!"
"Right now! Rain Shinobi Village is in a defensive posture! Most likely they are gathering strength to invade Konoha again!"
"My idea is! Before the large-scale operation in Rain Shinobi Village! Let's throw away the large-scale operations!"
"Send a strong elite team! Prioritize the elimination of the Rain Shinobi Village's stronghold in the Land of Fire!"
"This way! On the one hand, we can avoid irritating Hanzo's nerves! And launching another large-scale invasion!"
"Secondly! It can also buy time for Tsunade and the others to develop an antidote for the salamander toxin!"
"Three! To help the village reorganize! To replenish manpower!"
"To cope with the pressure from the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth that may come!"

In the time of Lord Orochimaru's command!
Because of Leng Jun's special personality charm! And powerful strength!
Orochimaru also gained support from many people!
Among them! Except for the civilian ninjas who have no foundation at all!
There are many elites from the ninja clan!
So! Under Sarutobi Hiruzen's questioning gaze!
In an instant, many figures stood up and echoed the voice!
"Orochimaru! As a teacher! I am relieved!"
"Your vision! It's not limited to Rain Shinobi Village!"
"That's right! The village really needs to strengthen its forces against Sunagakure and Iwagakure!"
"So! Let's do what you say here!"
"Wait until I get back to the village! I'll send another batch of supplies!"
Because Orochimaru's Jōnin! Many Elite Jōnin-level strong men were killed!
Before leaving!
Sarutobi Hiruzen was still from the ninjas who accompanied him! Especially from the ninjas who belonged to the Hokage lineage!
More than a dozen Jōnin were selected! Several Elite Jōnin were handed over to Orochimaru!
However! Compared to these!
What made Jiraiya feel relieved was!
Kato Dan is gone! Most of the ninjas accompanying Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to Konoha!
It also freed him from the damage of 10,000 times the critical hit every day!
......
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen led the Anbu Fourth Division and hundreds of Konoha's elite ninjas back to Konoha!
The wind direction of Konoha!
There are also more and more waves! The root base!
After Danzo returns to Konoha!
In addition to using your own connections!
In addition to forcibly adding some manpower to the root!
As for the Shimura clan!
After what happened in the Grass Kingdom!
Danzo has given up the idea of drawing personnel from the Shimura clan!
Because it hurts so much!
A group from the Land of Grass! Almost all of his tribe members who were transferred to Anbu were involved!
It can be expected! The death of several Jōnin! Elite Jōnin! Dozens of Chūnin! Elite Chunin!
The Shimura clan will be unable to catch their breath for quite a long time in the future!
Besides! Danzo has secretly dispatched those root members who are loyal to him!
Start traveling to various parts of the Land of Fire! Speed up the search for orphans who have the qualifications to be ninjas!
Due to funding issues!
Danzo's idea of building an outer base cannot be realized at least in the short term!
They had no choice but to collect dozens of orphans gathered by the Root members!
Temporarily placed in a cave dozens of miles away from Konoha Village!
Two Root teams were dispatched!
Take charge of the lives of these orphans! Train!
