Chapter 40: News is coming to the battlefield!
"What did you say!!".
Sarutobi Kaoto stood up in an instant, kicked the table in front of him, grabbed his clansman's neck, and roared loudly.
He was about to exterminate the Hagoromo clan on the front line, but suddenly several clan members arrived, saying that the clan had been attacked by someone and the clan had suffered heavy losses. How could I accept this!
"Patriarch, I am telling you the truth! Many children and women of the clan have been injured and others have died!" The ninja Sarutobi spoke with tears on his face.
Because his wife and son were killed last night, which made him feel like his entire heart was broken instantly. Now his brother is still helping him bury his wife and son with sadness.
"Damn!"
Sarutobi Kaoto instantly erupted with an astonishing amount of chakra, and the elite jounin next to him could not sit still and quickly pulled this clansman up for questioning.
"Who attacked our clan!?"
Sarutobi Kaoto's enormous chakra at his side made the ninja feel confused "No, I don't know, I didn't see clearly..."
Another elite jounin tugged at this ninja's clothes. "So many enemies attacking our clan!"
The ninja was pulled back and forth, and his mind was a little shaken. "Maybe there are several, or maybe there are dozens..."
"How many there are!"
"Maybe several..."
"Fuck you!"
The angry elite jounin kicked the ninja.
The other two chunin that came with him didn't know much more than the classmate who was expelled.
Facing the interrogation of these elite jounin, they only said that all the clan materials had been destroyed and that the ordinary clan members had suffered heavy casualties. If they asked about other things, they wouldn't know anything about it.
"Clan leader, shall we retreat?"
An elite jounin looked at Sarutobi Kaoto tentatively.
His wife and children are also in the clan's territory and he does not know how they are, so he is eager to return home and see them.
Although the other elite jounin did not speak, they all looked at Sarutobi Kaoto, waiting for Sarutobi Kaoto's order to retreat.
After all, the clan's land was attacked and everyone's family members didn't know if they were okay. In this situation, who would have the heart to fight with the Hagoromo clan?
Looking at these clan elites, Sarutobi Kaoto also wants to retreat now, but retreat cannot be done by simply speaking.
The irritable Sarutobi Kaoto looked at everyone. "You guys get ready first, I'll go find the leader of the Shimura clan!"
After that, Sarutobi Kaoto turned around and left the store.
A group of elite jounin looked at each other a few times and then left the tent one after another to talk to their subordinates and prepare for evacuation.
Arriving at the Shimura clan camp, Sarutobi Kaoto walked directly towards Shimura Nesuke's tent.
Because there was a gap of several hours between the attacks on the two tribes, the Shimura clan had not yet received the news of the sneak attack on the tribe.
Entering the store, Nesuke Shimura was drinking a small drink in a high mood, and there was a plate of peanuts on the table.
After all, the Hagoromo clan is already a grasshopper after autumn.
After destroying the Hagoromo clan, the Shimura clan will be able to obtain a large amount of supplies and ninjutsu from the Hagoromo clan.
In this way, the Shimura clan will become more powerful. How can you be unhappy?
Nesuke Shimura was drinking a small drink. When she saw Sarutobi Kaoto coming, she looked at him with a smile and said, "Kaoto, are you coming for drinks?"
!
Sarutobi Kaoto took a long drag on his pipe in irritation and then got straight to the point "Nesuke, my clan's territory was attacked by the Hagoromo. I must return to help the clan as soon as possible!"
"That?" Shimura Nesuke was a little confused. After reacting, he was stunned for a moment.
After a second or two, he stood up with a surprised look on his face. "What are you talking about, the Sarutobi clan was sneak attacked by the Hagoromo clan?"
Sarutobi Kaoto nodded irritably.
Shimura Nesuke looked at Sarutobi Kaoto with some disbelief "The Hagoromo clan already lacks combat power only on the frontal battlefield. What's more, we've been looking at it, there hasn't been any elite jonin on the opposite side in the past two days. You know that both of our clans have at least two elite jounin protecting their clans, and there are also a large number of chunin and genin staying behind. Where can the Hagoromo clan have the strength to sneak attack the Sarutobi clan? "
Sarutobi Kaoto spoke, gnashing his teeth, he growled "How the hell do I know where the Hagoromo clan got the extra strength to sneak attack my clan? The three clansmen who come from the clan are like headless monkeys, they don't know anything about it." My father can't be contacted now by relying on the summoning jutsu. It can be said that I don't know how many enemies there are in the clan. But according to the intelligence of the three clan members who came, the enemy's strength is definitely not weak. If we don't return to help, the clan may be lost!"
Furthermore, now that the senior officials of the Sarutobi clan camp were anxious after learning that their clan's territory had been attacked, they wished that they could have wings and fly back.
Therefore, Sarutobi Kaoto must retreat now.
If they do not retreat, not only will the safety of the clan not be guaranteed, but the people here will also be uneasy. Perhaps over time, these clan members will automatically disperse in the direction of the Sarutobi clan's territory.
"What's going on with the Hagoromo clan here?" Shimura Nesuke looked at Sarutobi Kaoto and asked.
Sarutobi Kaoto responded without hesitation "My clan suffered heavy casualties back home, and you still think about the Hagoromo clan, you fool! Anyway, my clan is about to retreat, you can decide for yourself whether you want to leave or not."
He was furious so Sarutobi Kaoto didn't even think about saying goodbye to Shimura Nesuke, he turned around and left the store.
Seeing Sarutobi Kaoto's leaving figure, Shimura Nesuke couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Now that the three clans unite, they can stabilize the Hagoromo clan and gain an advantage. However, if the Sarutobi clan withdraws, the advantage against the Hagoromo clan will be very small.
When the Sarutobi are gone and there are few people from the Senju clan, the Shimura clan will definitely become the main force against the Hagoromo clan.
But in this kind of war where the outcome is unpredictable, if the Shimura clan is allowed to act as the main force, their forces will almost reach the bottom.
You should never do such a stupid thing!
Thinking of this, Shimura Nesuke immediately made a decision "No, I will go to see Senju Bōra tomorrow to discuss withdrawal."
…
Around four in the afternoon.
Boom!
A burst of powerful chakra suddenly erupted.
Boom, boom!
Immediately afterwards, explosions continued to sound. On the battlefield between the Hagoromo clan and the three clans, wind blades roared and explosive flames came out.
"Hagoromo! They are bastards!"
Nesuke Shimura held the wind blade, his eyes were red, and he yelled at the Hagoromo clan in anger.
When Hagoromo Ryokawa heard this, he laughed "Shimura Nesuke, you idiot, you are a fucking hypocrite, when you attacked my clan a month ago, why didn't you say that you were a bastard? Now it's your turn to be attacked by surprise"
