The style of Yuhara Mountain Castle is completely different from that of Shangyangchen. It is simple and simple, without too many fancy decorations.

Qingshu sat in the hall.

Hatake Sakumo, Hinata Hizashi, Uchiha Fugaku and others were sitting on both sides.

Except Namikaze Minato.

After Qingshu's speech last night, he led an army of 160,000 troops, divided into seven groups, and captured the seven checkpoints in the Ontake Mountain Range, and continued to move forward without stopping.

His destination is the metropolis of the Kingdom of Thunder.

In Haruki's view, it was a waste to let Minato serve as a general, as he would not be able to use his personal strength after all.

But the current Konoha has enough high-end combat power, so it doesn't matter if Minato is missing.

The Fire Nation's army would not be able to function without him.

Hatake Sakumo has a lot of experience, but only in ninja wars.

He cannot command an army of 160,000.

Only Minato who has spent seven years in the military camp can serve.

Haruki also doesn't believe in the other generals of the Fire Country.

What's more, most of them were killed by his sword.

After much thought, Minato was the most suitable.

At this time, his title of Golden Flash was completely resounding in the ninja world. Although it was completely different from the original work, the effect was achieved.

Haruki doesn't have to worry about burying his apprentice.

"Master Haruki."

ANBU ninjas appeared in the hall.

He handed over the scroll and disappeared again.

No more than two seconds before and after.

Haruki had long been accustomed to the high efficiency of ANBU, so he opened the scroll.

A group of them gathered here early in the morning just to wait for information.

He quickly scanned it and said: "The Fourth Raikage Ai and the 20,000 ninja army are heading towards Mihara Mountain Castle."

Everyone in the hall was a little surprised.

He was not surprised by the Raikage's attack, but he was surprised by the number of 20,000.

After Yunyin Village lost two thousand vanguard troops, it managed to gather another twenty thousand ninjas, which was almost an all-out effort.

Once it fails, it may be difficult to recover within ten years or even decades.

"Haruki, it seems that the Raikage's resentment towards you has reached an immortal level."

Hatake Sakumo looked at Haruki with a calm face and felt quite emotional.

To be honest, the development of this war was completely beyond my expectation.

He thought of the last great ninja war, where a group of them had gone through many hardships, but they had only suffered a tragic victory.

It is in sharp contrast to the current situation where a person is not dead.

Inexplicably, he felt like he was winning.

After entering the Kingdom of Thunder, he seemed to have occupied one-third of the land without doing anything.

Qingshu smiled when he heard this, Yunyin Village's actions were within his expectations.

He also wrote a special letter to Matsuda Raizo, the daimyo of the Land of Thunder.

Using the lives of Miyagi Hiroshi and others as a threat.

If he wants to rescue them in a short time, Matsuda Raizo will definitely hand over this task to the Fourth Raikage.

But it also suits Haruki’s purpose.

The daily food consumption of an army of 160,000 and 10,000 ninjas is an astronomical figure.

He would not do such unscrupulous things as looting on the spot.

Therefore, Qingshu does not want Yunyin Village to fight a protracted war in the Kingdom of Thunder.

Cloud Ninja has home field advantage.

Konoha has come a long way, and the speed of material transportation is much slower than that of Kumogakure Village.

The best way is to make Yunyin Village have to fight with them somewhere.

Haruki had an idea after seeing the Ontake Mountains.

It is planned to use it as a barrier to attract Yunyin Village to attack.

As for the reason.

Hiroshi Miyagi and others are the reason.

Haruki doesn't follow the rules like these ninjas, so he will use whatever he can.

"The next battle will be far more brutal than before."

Haruki looked at the people in front of him and his tone became serious, "The Raikage will attack Mihara Mountain Castle at all costs. You all know the power of ninjas. Ordinary defense methods are useless, so we have to take advantage of these two

Days’ time to rearrange the defenses.”

Hatake Sakumo nodded.

As the commander here second only to Haruki, the task of setting up defenses was naturally given to him.

After the short meeting ended, Qingshu rubbed his temples.

What he is worried about now is not Yunyin Village, but how to deal with the Kingdom of Thunder.

There is a saying that it is easier to conquer a country than to defend it.

They nominally occupy one-third of the land, but in fact they do not fully control it.

Even the major cities are controlled simply and crudely by ninjas.

Not to mention the vast towns and villages.

The original three thousand defenders of Mihara Mountain Castle were not disbanded.

Qingshu temporarily imprisoned them in the military camp.

When he arrived, he saw many residents of the city surrounding the military camp.

Since it is a city, it is naturally impossible for only three thousand defenders to live here.

Although it was originally built as a barrier and checkpoint, there has been no war for a long time, resulting in an increasing number of civilians in the city.

A large part of it was due to the defenders.

In other words, Qingshu imprisoned them and directly offended the entire city.

There are quite a few such situations.

But war is so cruel.

It's impossible for Qingshu to be soft-hearted because of this.

He entered the military camp.

Everything as far as the eye could see was a chaotic scene.

The three thousand soldiers looked panicked.

After their defeat, they could not imagine a good ending for themselves.

Either death or slavery.

But no matter what it is, it is tragic.

Qingshu stood on the high platform and didn't say too much nonsense.

The first thing is to let them select a few outstanding soldiers to serve as new generals.

At first they couldn't believe what they heard.

But under Qingshu's urging, they dubiously selected three officers with considerable reputation and strength.

"Your mission has not changed at all. You are still guarding this mountain city. The only difference is that you are no longer the army of the Kingdom of Thunder, but the Kingdom of Fire."

Qingshu looked at the dazed people in front of him and said calmly, "Do you have any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads.

They actually have no so-called sense of belonging.

First, they did not join the army voluntarily, and second, their treatment was poor.

If you can save your life, you don't care whether it's the Kingdom of Thunder or the Kingdom of Fire.
