You agree first and then decide whether to retreat or not. You can weigh it again later.

Uchiha Mai raised her hand, making a please gesture without pressing too hard.

Being a cheerful person, Onoki smiled, used the light and heavy rock technique, faced Mai Uchiha, slowly floated back, and left the battlefield.

Ohnoki was still wary of Uchiha Mai's "distortion power". Once bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of ropes for ten years. Even if he ran away, he would still have to face Uchiha Mai.

After a while, Ohnoki withdrew to two kilometers away. After feeling safe, he turned around and ran quickly towards the Iwagakure battlefield.

On the other side, Hatake Sakumo watched Onoki leave, and after making sure that he would not turn back again, he threw the long sword and Izumori Kanesada in his hand to Uchiha Mai.

At the same time, he asked: "Just let him go like this?"

Uchiha Mai caught the famous sword and sheathed it, and replied: "There is nothing we can do if we don't let him go.

Ohnoki is different from the Sandaime Kazekage in that he has the means to truly threaten me, and my condition is relatively poor.

At least now, I don't want to gamble my life with him, the odds are too bad.

Killing is only the most convenient and effective means to achieve the goal, it is never the goal. Our goal is to force the three major ninja villages to retreat and end this war.

Judging from the current situation, it has become a foregone conclusion that the three major ninja villages will retreat. Onoki has lost, and I am the winner.

Winners don’t need to gamble anymore.”

Mai Uchiha is very powerful and calm enough. She has achieved her strategic goal, so why should she continue to gamble her life?

Hatake Sakumo nodded slightly as if he didn't understand, and then asked: "Then what should we do now?"

When he served as the head of ANBU in the past, Hatake Sakumo was more like a sword than a person holding a sword, and was accustomed to obeying orders rather than issuing them.

Even during the period when he served as the coach of the Sunagakure Front, Hatake Sakumo always abided by Sarutobi Hiruzen's order to "only defend but not attack" and rarely made decisions on major matters.

As long as he doesn't violate his principles and doesn't touch the bottom line, Hatake Sakumo still prefers to listen to other people's opinions and let those who are smart enough make decisions.

In Hatake Sakumo's opinion, Mai Uchiha is smart enough, at least not stupid, and has high enough fighting skills to be qualified as Hokage. He is more qualified to be Hokage than Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru.

"Ah~"

Uchiha Mai stretched, turned around and smiled: "Of course we are going back to the camp.

Sakumo-senpai, you will be very busy in the next period of time.

Waiting for death is more terrifying than death. The most threatening sword is always the one hanging over your head that may fall at any time, not the one that has already fallen.

I speculate that after Sunagakure Village learns that the Sandaime Kazekage has been killed in battle, it will not take long for them to convince themselves and make the wisest choice."

Hatake Sakumo still nodded slightly as if he didn't understand.

After making up their minds, the two returned to the Konoha camp and spread the good news that the Sandaime Kazekage was dead to the entire front.

This is a small step for Mai Uchiha, and a giant step for Konoha.

Since the beginning of the war, Konoha has achieved some victories, but this is the first time to kill an enemy general, not to mention that the person who was killed was the real talker of Sunagakure Village.

The morale of the Konoha troops was greatly boosted.

Hatake Sakumo listened to Uchiha Mai's advice and withdrew all outposts to detect ninjas. While ensuring basic defense capabilities, he held a banquet to celebrate this great victory.

Konoha's abnormal behavior shocked all the investigating ninjas in Sunagakure Village.
