They met Shuo Mao at nine o'clock in the morning the next day, and the three of them arrived at the Konoha camp on the front line of the Fire Country.

There is basically no change here and before, and if there is one thing that has changed, it is that the atmosphere here is more tense than before.

However, the last mission of cutting off the supply of sand and hides, although the task of the three of them 'failed' because of the troublemaking of the roots, but Shuo Mao's side completed the task very beautifully.

He alone destroyed Sha Yin's important supply point, causing Sha Yin's offensive strength to become declining for a while.

"In other words, as long as you survive this winter, does it mean that Sand Yin will be self-defeating?"

Shiraishi asked.

It's already the beginning of October, and the weather is slowly getting cooler, especially in December, when the Fire Country and the River Country enter the cold winter season.

The Sand Hidden Ninja did not have enough supplies to survive this winter, and by the beginning of spring, the situation would be extremely unfavorable for the Sand Hide.

"That's basically true, but whether Sha Yin will really retreat from the army, we are not sure on our side, we can only say that it is very likely."

Shuo Mao nodded.

In the case of insufficient supplies, launching a last ferocious attack to open the gap into the land of fire is also a way out for the sand to hide.

After all, it was the third-generation Kazekage who took the lead this time, and he had to be completely prepared.

The more times like this, the more you have to pay great attention to it, and don't let the sand ninjas take advantage of it.

"And what is the task assigned to our team?"

"It's still the same as before, looking for the lone sand ninja troops to annihilate them, and reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield from the side."

Shuo Mao replied.

He knows his limits as a ninja, he doesn't have a wide range of ninjutsu attacks, and all his strength comes from physical skills and sword skills.

As a result, he will have a headache for enemies with a large area of ninjutsu attacks, but on the other hand, his physical skills are instantaneous, as well as his sword skills, are at the pinnacle.

If he can't keep up with his speed and lacks the means of defense against the White Fang Short Knife, there is only one knife and a few cuts to kill his enemies.

The three of Shiraishi are also very aware of this.

He is a ninja with very obvious flaws and strengths.

It is suitable for squad-scale combat, and in large-scale battles, it will limit his strength.

Because he has more things to think about on the frontal battlefield, dodging the kunai and detonation charms that don't know where they flew from, if he encounters many companions in danger, whether to save or not to save is also a question worth thinking about.

As a result, his sword skills will become hesitant and dull, and he will not be able to exert 100% of his power.

In this regard, Shuomao has nothing to complain about.

Ninjas are assigned jobs that suit them because of their abilities and personalities.

He is only suitable for such actions and operations, for example, Sannin is not competent for his job, and he is not qualified for Sannin's work.

"You've just arrived here today, so let's rest here for a day, and we'll start our mission tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

Shuo Mao said to Shiraishi before leaving: "By the way, I forgot to say, Shiraishi, if you don't have anything to do, you can go to the medical camp to have a look, now the medical ninjas here on the front line are still in a state of shortage, although it is only one day, you can also relieve the pressure there." ”

"I see."

Shiraishi nodded, and walked towards the medical camp.

It was true to relieve the pressure on the medical troops, but how much pressure could be relieved, Shiraishi also knew that it was just Shuo Mao's words of comfort.

No matter how you say it, treating patients is the duty of a medical ninja, and Shiraishi has no reason to refuse.

However, in Shiraishi's opinion, Konoha still has the defect of insufficient number of medical ninjas, and it is completely due to his own cognitive and execution strategy that leads to such a result.

Konoha attaches great importance to medical education, and it is also because a few years ago, due to the medical reform proposed by Tsunade, he began to train medical ninjas.

But in fact, at the beginning, Konoha didn't pay much attention to medical reform.

In their eyes, instead of tilting resources to medical ninjas with weak combat effectiveness, it is better to cultivate more powerful ninjas and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the village is the right way.

However, after experiencing the tragic War of the Land of Rain, it was discovered that resources were tilted towards powerful ninjas, and the mortality rate remained high, so he began to enforce medical ninjutsu courses in ninja schools.

Shiraishi was a member of the first batch of medical ninja experimental classes in the medical reform, and he knew very well how slacking Konoha was in the training of medical ninjas.

If it weren't for Tsunade's proposal for this reform...... Maybe Konoha won't pay attention to the medical ninja profession until now.

(PS: I remember it in the original book, it seems that there were, when Tsunade proposed medical reform, all the high-level and upper ninjas, including the three generations of Hokage, were not interested in Tsunade's proposal, and only Kato broke to support Tsunade, probably because of Tsunade's body...... ）

When I arrived at the camp where the medical troops were located, I could hear the painful cries of the wounded, and the smell of disinfectant and blood mixed into Shiraishi's nostrils.

Coupled with the limited size of the camp, some of the wounded had to lie outside and receive sloppy treatment.

Priority is given to rescuing seriously injured ninjas, and then treating the moderately and lightly injured is the rule of the Konoha Medical Corps.

Here, Shiraishi also sees Tsunade, but he doesn't catch up with the past, where Tsunade is performing medical ninjutsu to treat the wounded.

Shiraishi explained his intention to the deputy commander here, and the other party was very pleased, at this time, one more medical ninja is equivalent to being able to rescue a few more injured people.

Especially the other party is still the medical ninja who is exclusively equipped for the Shuomao team, and he is the first batch of medical experimental class students in the ninja school, so no matter how you look at it, medical ninjutsu can't be too bad.

Therefore, he assigned more than a dozen moderately and lightly injured people to Baishi at once, as well as some medical supplies, and told him to hurry to work.

Shiraishi walked over to a clearing where there were bunks on which a lot of injured Konoha ninjas were lying, about dozens of wounded.

Along with Shiraishi, there are three other medical ninjas, the oldest being in his thirties, and the youngest being a few years older than Shiraishi.

Even if they are fellow medical ninjas, they don't have the slightest communication, or they don't have the time at all.

Shiraishi devoted himself to healing, skillfully and standardizing the wounds of these wounded.

During the treatment process, Shiraishi will also communicate with the injured to relieve the pressure in their hearts and better treat them.

"It's all right, and then I just need to rest for two days."

"I know you, you're a member of the Shuomao Shangninja Squad, it's really a powerful medical ninjutsu."

The treated Konoha ninja praised Shiraishi in a kind tone.

"No, I still have a lot to do compared to my predecessors."

For this compliment, Shiraishi only smiled modestly.

After all, compared to a medical ninja of Tsunade's level, he really needs to improve a lot.

It was not until the morning until it was dark that Shiraishi finished his medical work.

Because most of the tents were requisitioned by the medical troops, and even so, there were still some wounded who were not assigned to the tents, so when Shiraishi came back to join Ruri and Ayane, he was only allocated an open space that could be used for rest.

At five o'clock in the morning the next morning, it was dark, and the three of them had already woken up.

Some of the Konoha ninjas are still sleeping, and there are also many Konoha ninjas patrolling the outer circle of the camp, mainly ninjas who sense ninjas and ninjas of the Hyuga clan.

When Shuo Mao came to look for them, the three of Shiraishi were ready, the soldier food pills, antidotes, kunai, detonation charms, sealing scrolls, medical kits, etc., all of which were equipped one by one.

As the only paramedic on the team, Shiraishi was assigned the job of equipping as much supplies as possible, so he also stuffed his backpack with food and water.

The next mission of the Shuomao team can also be said to have no mission content.

Annihilate when you encounter an enemy, support your companions, and destroy a convoy of Shinobi if you are lucky.

It's like the elite troops sent by Sand Hide to cause trouble inside the Fire Country, used to distract Konoha and even make the front-line Konoha ninjas dare not move casually.

The same is true for the Shuomao team's mission this time.

Go deep into the country of Sichuan, and even the territory of the country of wind, carry out sabotage work behind enemy lines, and let the Shuomao team deal with it according to the situation on the spot.

The above gives the Shuomao team considerable freedom and power, which also means that this mission is very dangerous.

Not to mention Shiraishi and Ayane, Ruri is already eager to try.

After the last battle, her ninjutsu, body arts, and illusion skills have all grown a lot, and the writing wheel eye has also been upgraded to the form of the three-hooked jade.

This kind of growth is obvious, and Shuo Mao is also very satisfied with it, thinking that if he wants to deal with today's glass, he can't wait to take it lightly.

◎

Mid-November.

Kawanokuni, Sand Hidden Camp.

The three generations of Kazekage looked at the information sent by the people below with a gloomy face, and in the past month, it has been frequently reported that the sand ninja team that is on patrol duty in the country of Kawanoku has been annihilated by the enemy.

"Konoha White Fang!"

The three generations of Kazekage slammed his fist on the table, his eyes burning with anger.

Even if you don't have to look at the information on the intelligence, you can know who did such a thing.

Except for Konoha White Fang, none of the upper ninjas that Konoha can deploy now have such a terrifying speed of annihilation.

The speed was as fast as a tornado, and everywhere it went, not a single grass grew and was uprooted.

Whether it's the upper ninja squad, or the middle ninja squad, or even the lower ninja squad, it's all a cut-off that doesn't stay, and it's not merciful.

Aside from that prestigious White Fang, the three generations of Kazekage couldn't think of any other Konoha Shinobi who could do this.

His most trusted puppet troops, two of the elites, were also annihilated in the Land of Fire by the team led by White Fang, and even the corpses are still in Konoha to this day.

The power that Sha Yin can mobilize is not much higher than that of Konoha, and the only variable is that he is the wind shadow, and there is also the trump card that has not been used, Shouzuru.

The poisonous attack strategy created by Sand Hide was broken by Konoha Ninja Tsunade.

Fighting head-on, he has no problem, but the overall quality of the sand ninja is worse than that of the Konoha ninja, and the shortage of medical ninjas in the camp makes the mortality rate a little higher than that of Konoha .

Now there is the problem of white fangs harassing the rear, the next step for Konoha ......

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a shinobi to come in and report that there was an abnormality in the Konoha camp, and nearly a thousand ninjas set off from the camp and marched from the front.

However, the moment they stepped into the border of Kawanokuni, Konoha's thousand-strong troops stopped moving, as if they were just going out to march.

But the three generations of Kazekage understood that Konoha intended to oppress Sand Hidden on the frontline battlefield and create an opportunity for the White Fang team to attack.

If Shagakure is desperate to hunt down the White Fang team, Konoha's large army will press on from the front.

"Fenfu, that guy still won't agree?"

The three generations of Kazekage looked at a Shinobi on the sand, his face solemn.

"I don't agree, no matter how I persuade him, I don't agree to use the power of Shouzuru, he said that I hope that Kazekage-sama will value peace and stop the war, which is for the good of Shayin."

The shinobi replied.

"Stop the war for the sake of Shagakure, okay?"

The three generations of Kazekage set their sights in the direction of the Fire Country.

The land there is richer than the Land of the Wind, and the genius ninjas of Konoha are endless, White Fang, Sanninja, and Kato Broken......

The ninja clan has three clans: pigs, deer and butterflies, as well as other famous ninja clans, ape fly, Shimura, Inuzuka, oil girl and so on.

What's even more terrifying is that the most well-preserved ancient bloodstained giants in the ninja world, Uchiha and Hinata, are also among Konoha .

With such a strong lineup, when I thought of this, the three generations of Kazekage felt heavy for a while.

Now it will be extremely difficult to take advantage of Konoha not to recover from the war in the Land of Rain, loot resources in the Land of Fire, and wait until Konoha recovers to recover the benefits.

Because Konoha is getting stronger and stronger, it has caused enough pressure on the surrounding countries and ninja villages.

If this continues, as Konoha gets stronger and stronger, there will be less and less space for Sand Hide to survive.

can only continue to reduce military spending, reduce the number of ninjas, and can only watch the number of ninjas in Konoha increase more and more, and the military spending is becoming more and more sufficient, showing its own in the ninja world.

At that time, the sand will be completely under the leaves of the wood.

The three generations of Kazekage don't want to see that kind of sand hide, even if Konoha is strong, he has to fight.

As long as Konoha's power can be weakened, Sunagakure can breathe a sigh of relief and see the hope of prosperity.

If there is no war, there is not even a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, the idea of 'harmony is precious' of the Crane Shou people's pillar of strength and blessing is righteous from an individual point of view, but between countries, there is no justice and evil, only strong and weak, only interests and losses.

"He is not suitable for this ninja world, although Shouhe is very safe in his body, if he does not take the initiative to stimulate it, there is no risk of going berserk. But it also means that Sand Hidden will not be able to use this weapon. The fact that weapons cannot be used is the greatest sorrow of war. Looks like we need to replace a new person......"

Hearing the words of the three generations of Kazekage, the face of the shinobi was shocked.

"Kazekage-sama, this ......"

"Don't worry, I'm just mentioning it casually. After all, the transfer of the tailed beast is very important, and it must be decided through a high-level meeting. ”

The three generations of Kazekage said this, but they couldn't make the shinobi feel at ease.

"So what should we do now?"

This Shangnin is very helpless.

This is where Sand Yin is most difficult.

Compared with Konoha, not only is the overall quality gap, but in terms of top ninjas, it is also much inferior to Konoha.

Just one Konoha White Fang is a headache for them, and the sand ninjas are all frightened to let such a dangerous ninja be allowed to destroy it in the rear.

Recently, many sand ninja have been afraid to take on such a mission as patrolling Kawanokuni.

In the face of that white fang, many sand ninjas had begun to chill.

"I've got a solution. This is a personal letter from Iwakure Onoki to me, and he will help us in secret. ”

"The Tsuchikage? To be honest, I don't recommend Kazekage-sama to work with that Tsuchikage. ”

"This is our only chance."

The three generations of Kazekage said.

With that, he sat down at his desk and drafted two letters.

After writing the letter, he handed it to the cronies next to him, and said, "A letter was sent to Orochimaru, the commander of Konoha, and a letter was sent to Konoha White Fang. ”

"It's ......"

This name couldn't help but look at the three generations of Kazekage.

"Let's go down."

"Yes."

Although he was puzzled, this Shinobi still went down and carried out this task.

"It's all for the sake of Shayin...... Konoha ......"

The three generations of wind shadows murmured faintly, and a fierce aura flashed in their eyes.

◎

The western part of Kawanokuni.

It is located at the junction of the country of wind and the country of rivers.

The sand ninja who supports the country of the wind will pass by this road.

It was here that the four members of the Shuomao team carried out the annihilation strategy.

Wipe out all the sand ninja you encounter in front of you, and not one of them will be annihilated.

After annihilating a squad, they understand to get out, never drag mud and water, look for a hidden place to hide, and then after a while, continue to annihilate.

Regardless of Shuo Mao, the long-famous Shangnin, the strength of Ruri and Ayane is also at the level of Shangnin, and they also have a special blood inheritance limit, and the destructive power brought by the three of them is very amazing.

Shiraishi only needs to make a few small assists at the back of the party, such as poisoned smoke grenades and throwing detonation charms.

When not fighting, use local materials to make medicines, such as Bing Food Pills and Antidotes, after all, the weapons of the puppeteer of the Sand Shinobi are highly poisonous, and it is also dangerous to accidentally rub them.

In this way, the long-lasting combat capability of the Shuomao squad is increased.

This morning, another sand ninja squad of six was annihilated.

It doesn't seem like much, but since accepting this mission more than a month ago, every day has been fighting, fighting, and constantly having sand ninjas dying at the hands of their team, and there are hundreds of sand ninjas in total.

If you're lucky, you'll encounter a convoy that enters the country of Kawanoku from the Land of Wind, burn the already small supplies of the sand hide, and then use your agile mobility to create chaos with the large-scale fire escape technique of Ruri, and escape far away to avoid being surrounded by a large army.

If there are fewer pursuers, they will be annihilated by their squad in reverse.

If there are more ninjas in pursuit, take advantage of the super high mobility and take the opponent around the country of Kawanoku.

Unless Sha Yin sends more than a few hundred ninjas at a time, including more than twenty upper ninjas, he will not want to encircle and suppress them in the country of Kawano.

If the three generations of Kazekage really had this kind of determination and took away so much living force, Sand Hidden would not be able to win over Konoha on the frontal battlefield, and the loss would be even greater.

Shiraishi expertly endured corpses on top of the dead sand, rummaging for things.

Scrolls that may record ninjutsu and materials, detonation charms for battle, and war ration pills for recovery are all taken away until the backpack can no longer be filled.

Shiraishi couldn't help but sigh and followed behind Shuo Mao, doing the task so smoothly and smoothly.

The three of them above faced the hordes of sand ninjas, and they could only run everywhere.

Even if their strength has become stronger now, they don't dare to confront the large army of Sha Yin head-on.

Now with Shuo Mao's leader, small troops, as long as there are no more than 100 people, go directly to fight.

If there are more than 100 people, they will adopt a wandering strategy and take the sand ninjas around.

To chase or not to chase, this choice must be very tangled for the sand ninjas.

If you catch up, you will probably die, and if you don't catch up, the Sakumo team will continue to wreak havoc, constantly attacking the Sand Shinobi patrol force in Kawanokuni and attacking their transport convoys.

And with Ayane's white eyes, there is no need to worry about rushing to open a formation to fight, and when encountering a large number of troops, as long as you break through from the weakest place.

In terms of the ability to break through, with Shuo Mao taking the lead in the charge, it can be said that he can come and go freely in the territory of Kawanokuni.

"Alright, it's almost done here."

Six corpses on the white stone floor groped clean.

There is a total of one upper ninja, three middle ninjas, and two lower ninjas.

In a flash, without letting Shuomao make a move, he was completely destroyed by Ruri and Ayane.

Shuo Mao has the greatest credit, but without the assistance of the three of them, it will not be so smooth, at least the problem of continuous supply is a headache.

Shuo Mao nodded and began to move.

The three of Shiraishi followed closely behind, moving extremely quickly.

In this way, it runs at the junction of the country of rivers and the country of wind.

When you're tired, rest, eat dry food, drink some water, and continue on your way.

It wasn't until about three o'clock in the afternoon that a four-person sand ninja team appeared in Ayane's white vision.

Shuo Mao did not hesitate, and according to the previous rhythm, he carried out an annihilation operation against this sand ninja squad.

"Strange."

Ayane said.

"What's weird?"

Ruri looked at her.

"There should be one of the sentient ninjas in this team who sensed our presence, but he didn't run away and wasn't ready to fight......"

Hearing Ayane say this, the other three all frowned slightly.

"It's as if they're waiting for us to come over."

Ayane said uncertainly.

"Are there traps around for ambush?" Shuo Mao asked.

Ayane looked at it carefully and shook her head.

Not to mention traps, these sand ninjas didn't even invoke Chakra, and they didn't plan to use long-range ninjutsu to attack.

Just as he was about to get closer, one of the sand shinobi broke away from the group and rushed towards him.

At Ayane's signal, Shuo Mao stopped, and Shiraishi and Ruri also stopped.

It didn't take long for that sand ninja to arrive in front of them in the form of an instantaneous appearance.

He didn't do anything, just pulled out a sealed letter from his ninja bag.

"Your Excellency White Fang, this is a letter from Lord Kazekage-sama to you, please take a look."

The other party looks like a businessman.

Ayane nodded at Shuo Mao, there was no poison on the letter, and there was no chakra flow, just a normal letter.

Shuo Mao walked over, took the letter from the sand ninja's hand, opened it and glanced at it, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"I know, I'll confirm this matter myself."

The sand shinobi nodded and disappeared from front of Shuo Mao.

"Mr. Shuomao, this letter is ......"

Shiraishi and the others gathered around, curious about the contents of the letter.

Shuo Mao didn't hide it, and spread out the letter to Shiraishi and the others.

At the top of the letter, there are only three words - reconciliation.

This is the third generation of the Sand Shinobi's Kazekage, ready to stop the war with Konoha signal.

"Is this letter credible?"

"I don't know, let's see what Orochimaru says. Agree, the war is over, if you don't, continue our mission. Before receiving the official order, the mission was temporarily suspended, and there was no need to attack the sand shinobi again. ”

After Shuo Mao finished speaking, his deep gaze looked into the distance.
