Konoha’s Thief Hand

"It's Eight Tails Jinchūriki, after all, it's already a great step." Namikaze Minato retreated to Natsuki's side and said comfortingly.

"It seems that my sealing technique has failed." Xia Shu didn't care, just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

While speaking, his heart network was fully opened, feeling the breath of Killer Bee.

Soon he discovered that the opponent's state was vaguely out of balance, thinking it should be the result of the sealing technique blocking the connection between the opponent and the tail beast, so that move to seal the four elephants may not fail, at least not completely invalid.

"It's not a complete failure." Namikaze Minato is also a master of sealing technique, seeing the status of Killer Bee.

He wondered whether he could keep it if he shot it at this moment. After all, it was Eight Tails Jinchūriki. If he were to be killed, with Cloud Shinobi's background at this moment, I am afraid that Eight Tails could no longer be captured in a short time...

But after all, he shook his head and waved away the thought.

Although the outcome of this move was very good, and the benefits to Konoha were even greater, he had to consider the overall situation.

Cloud Shinobi has already shown signs of retreat at this time. If it is because he is greedy for meritorious advances and makes the foregone conclusion change again, then he will inevitably become a sinner.

The scope of this war is too wide, and enough lives have been swallowed. It is not a good thing for others or Konoha to continue, so it is not bad to end it like this.

The thoughts in his mind calmed down instantly, and Namikaze Minato made a gesture to the partner beside him with his right hand.

Xia Shu didn't change his face when he saw this gesture, but he knew that the matter was over.

Although he thinks that if the battle continues, the AB group will probably stay here completely, indirectly causing Cloud Shinobi to fall into a chaotic situation, but he is not the master here after all, and if Namikaze Minato does not take action, he will ultimately be powerless.

"Ai, you have a very good partner." Namikaze Minato converged, turned around and said to his opponent whose speed is second only to him: "The next time we meet, we should be in the name of the shadow. I hope you will be faster then. a little."

"Humph!" Ai hummed, "I'm afraid you will be surprised by then!"

"Hehe." Namikaze Minato chuckled twice and waved to the Konoha Shinobi: "Retreat!"

The Konoha Shinobi swiftly turned around at the command, and turned towards Konoha Daying.

"Hey! You one-armed guy!" Just when Xia Shu was about to leave, Killer Bee suddenly stopped him.

"One-armed guy? Are you talking about me?" Xia Shu turned around and squinted at it.

"Smart Boy." Killer Bee opened her mouth and panted. "You use a sword?"

Xia Shu was silent, although he didn't think the other party could speak the ancient dragon body.

"I also use swords, and there are seven swords." Killer Bee grinned, "Unfortunately, I can't let you see it."

"There will be a chance." Natsuki groaned for a moment, glanced at him pointedly, and then turned to chase Konoha Shinobi.

In the forest, one side leaves the field, and the other side has no meaning to stay.

What's more, the order for them to retreat has been sent, and this also means that this battlefield is over.

"Withdraw!" Ai Shen exhaled, then suddenly shouted.

...

Konoha Daying.

When Namikaze Minato hurried back, the camp was cheering.

Not long ago, on the front battlefield, Cloud Shinobi suddenly surrendered, and Konoha directly won the war.

"That's..." Nightingale stopped and looked at the group of people who slowly walked in from Konoha Shinobi's eye-catching eyes.

"The messenger of Cloud Shinobi." Natsuki said affirmatively, and turned to Namikaze Minato: "Senior Minato, I will deal with the injury first, and then I will return to Konoha."

"Okay." Namikaze Minato said, "Thanks for your hard work."

"Yeah." Xia Shu nodded, without saying anything, and walked to the camp where the medical ninja was.

"Senior Matsuzaki, I'll call a medical ninja." Nightingale said next to her.

"Just find one, I just need some medical supplies." Xia Shu said casually.

"Understood." Nightingale nodded, turned and ran out.

The injury of the right arm was mainly a fracture. Even if medical ninjutsu was used, it would still take some time to recuperate. Xia Shu fixed the right arm with a splint, and then waited slowly.

Walking out of the tent, Xia Shu looked up at the sky and said softly, "It's going to be dusk soon."

"Resting for a night?" Nightingale answered.

The other root ninja also looked at him.

"Yes." Xia Shu thought for a moment, then nodded.

The war is over. Going back sooner or later will not affect anything, and from the messengers sent by Cloud Shinobi, there shouldn't be any more changes, and it's just a night's rest.

As for how the Anbu Ninja chooses...it has to wait for them to deal with the funeral of the white ape who is suspected of being a ninja of the Sarutobi clan.

That's right, with the blow of Fourth Raikage's thunder plow knife, the white ape could not survive after all, and died before returning to the camp.

But Xia Shu didn't care about it.

After a rest night, the next morning Xia Shu came to Jiraiya's camp. At this moment, a group of Konoha Shinobi gathered here and were discussing the next thing.

Victory in the war does not mean that everything is over. Just as a covenant can be torn up, surrender may also become a surrender.

Therefore, in the next period of time, the camp will return the wounded to Konoha one after another, but the large troops will still be stationed here. While reorganizing and building border troops, they will carry out in-depth investigation operations until it is completely determined that the enemy has retreated. safe distance.

Without disturbing the discussions between Konoha Jōnin and Jiraiya, Natsuki came to a gap and nodded slightly to Namikaze Minato. As he had already said it yesterday, Namikaze Minato instantly understood the look in Natsuki's eyes.

"Good voyage." Namikaze Minato opened her mouth silently.

Xia Shu withdrew from the camp, took two of his men, and left the camp directly to return in the direction of Konoha.

...

On the battlefield east of Konoha, Mist Shinobi finally showed signs of decline after persisting for a few days.

In the past few days, not only has the offensive been reduced and the intensity slowed, but the information sent by the scouts has also gradually decreased, and this also means that Mist Shinobi's actions on the battlefield have begun to converge.

I just don't know if he is gathering his strength to prepare for a decisive battle, or if he intends to retreat.

To say that the most advanced, attackable and defendable Ninja Village in the Ninja World, then Mist Shinobi recognizes the second, and no one dares to recognize the first.

Mist Shinobi hangs alone overseas, far away from the mainland, hidden in dense fog, isolated from other countries by the sea, and has a natural defensive advantage. Even if you participate in the war, the war will not spread to the country. It can be said that it is the least burdened party in the Ninja War.

So if Mist Shinobi wants to leave something before the end of the war, no one can stop it.
