Hokage’s Strongest Blood

Prior to this, Konoha's victory was due to Shigure's talents and Shigure's own strength.

But now, due to Orochimaru's eagerness for quick success, his own advantages have disappeared.

"Oh... Hizashi-sensei... I wanted to negotiate with Sand Shinobi and fight for Konoha. Now, it seems that we still need to continue fighting." Shigure said helplessly.

"I will not be subject to orders from foreign troops. Orochimaru-sama also wants to use the current high morale to drive Sand Shinobi to a dead end." Hizashi seemed to understand Orochimaru's feelings.

"Although morale is strong, Orochimaru will undoubtedly lose this time." Shigure also said firmly.

"Huh? Why are you so sure?"

"Sand Shinobi's main force hasn't been wiped out by us?"

Nanxiong and Hongdie also expressed some incomprehension.

"Boss, just talk about the reason. I'm not good at war. I only know Orochimaru's strength is pretty good. Self-preservation is fine." Kakuzu also said.

Shigure then said: "First, although the main force of Sand Shinobi has already retreated, they have retreated in an orderly manner and did not lose command. Ebizō is more terrifying than Chiyo and knows how to use tricks. Orochimaru is easy to be ambushed. Second, Orochimaru is too proud and self-righteous, and his mentality is easily exploited by Ebizō."

"Thirdly, if Orochimaru's ninja troops are ambushed and besieged, they will easily be wiped out without our supplies. The last point is the most important point!"

"There are many forests in Konoha. The environment and weather in Sand Shinobi are very bad, but Sand Shinobi has become accustomed to it. This is for the sky. The sky is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Sand Shinobi firmly occupies the advantage. It will come to Sunagakure. Sand Shinobi will fight with all his strength and unite Isshin when he is alive and dead!

"Our side lacks supplies, has high morale, lacks intelligence, and not many combatants, but the enemy has the right time and place and... I really can't think of what Orochimaru can rely on to win?"

When everyone heard Shi Yu's words, they immediately understood.

"So, what should we do?" everyone asked.

"We can only attack," Shi Yu said.

Then Shigure came to Konoha's front line headquarters to face all the ninjas.

"The whole army obeys!" Shigure was also Haki's announcement: "Cross the desert! Attack Sand Shinobi's line of sky! Join Orochimaru and take down Sunagakure together!"

"good!"

"marvelous!"

"Shiyu! Shiyu!"

"The Light of Ninja World!"

When the ninjas under the account heard Shigure's words, it was like seeing a flatbread, their morale rose a lot.

After previous battles, the Konoha Shinobi all knew Shigure’s strategy and strength, and what was left was naturally to follow Shigure’s orders. After hearing Shigure’s words, they all thought that victory was in sight. This time they will join forces. Sand Shinobi will be destroyed.

In reality, Shigure just didn't want to lose confidence in his men. The real goal this time was actually to rescue Orochimaru.

Immediately after, the main force of Konoha Shinobi, led by Shigure, passed through the hot sand wilderness and entered the wind desert in the southwest.

In the desert, the environment is extremely harsh, with direct sunlight. If Shigure had not prepared a large amount of water resources in advance, there would probably be countless Konoha Shinobi who fell just because of the environment.

Along the way, Shigure realized that some Konoha Shinobi corpses could be seen faintly.

"Check it out," Shigure ordered.

"Yes! Shigure-sama!" Konoha Jōnin said after investigating, "Yes, it was Konoha Shinobi who followed Orochimaru-sama."

"Did he die of thirst? Or... Shigure also immediately used his observation eyes, only to realize that this guy was not dying of thirst at all, and the surrounding sand was extremely soft and slowly fell on the ground.

"Wait!" Shigure yelled immediately, but a distracted Chūnin sank into the sand before he could react.

"This is a quicksand area!!" Shigure reminded immediately.

And that Chūnin couldn't use his energy at all, and he couldn't get out of the sand at all, and he panicked immediately.

"Don't struggle! Don't move!" Shigure reminded. Hizashi immediately slapped him with an empty palm, smashing the quicksand into a depression, and Kakuzu's tentacle quickly grabbed the ninja and pulled it up.

"It's saved... That Chūnin can be regarded as having his life back.

"Everyone follows me, and the lateral distance should not exceed me by 1 meter!" Shigure can accurately bypass the quicksand area with his scout eyes. After the quicksand sinks, it is difficult to break free, even if one foot is buried by the quicksand. Need to lift at least a certain amount of power to lift the car.

Therefore Shigure ordered his men to be more careful, and finally succeeded in bypassing the quicksand area. After walking for a long time, the entire Konoha main force was already very tired.

"Set up camp! There will be no enemies nearby." Shigure observed the farthest distance, but did not see any signs of creatures, so after issuing the order, he began to observe the map in front of the fire.

"Shigure-sama, we can't keep up with supplies... a Jōnin also reminded.

"I see, don't worry, I have discussed with Orochimaru a long time ago, and he will leave some of the supplies for us." Shigure also told Jōnin the good news.

"Take a good rest and tell everyone, don't worry about supply problems. We will arrive at Sand Shinobi tomorrow! Isn't the purpose of coming here to kill the enemy?" Shigure also looked like a victory.

"It turned out to be like this! Great! I think morale will rise again!" Jōnin also had to leave.

Kakuzu and Hizashi naturally guessed: "Orochimaru won't leave us supplies!"

Shi Yu also smiled bitterly: "That's for sure...I just don't want to disappoint them, otherwise there is no morale at all."

"So that's it...understood."

"According to the map, we should be able to reach Yixiantian soon, and tomorrow should be near Yixiantian." Shi Yu then felt a strange gust of wind.

"No... Shigure was a little speechless. He used his observation eyes to see the whole world, covered by sand and dust, not far away.

"I just passed the quicksand area, is there a dust storm again?!" Shi Yu also immediately sounded the alarm bell afterwards.

"Attention everyone! The sandstorm is coming!" Hizashi and Jōnin also informed the news one by one.

"Everyone who knows Earth Style! Use all you can, Chakra, use the earth flow wall to block it!" Shigure summoned the huge Katsuyu with a Summoning Technique, and then immediately used the split, and thousands of Konoha Shinobi were over there. A Katsuyu.

"Everyone who knows Wind Style! Come forward with me and use Great Breakthrough! Find a way to blow back the sandstorm!" Shigure also said solemnly.

"Earth Style·Thursday Wall!" Many Konoha Shinobi practitioners performed the surgery together, and a huge earthy castle wall was formed.
