Supplies destroyed. How are ninjas supposed to fight?
Besides these, the biggest problem was still the plummeting morale. This absolutely could not be hidden.
Everyone's eyes were wide open. Knowing that their supplies were destroyed en masse, they would all start thinking about various messy questions, such as: if there are no supplies, where can we replenish lost ninja tools?
During the period of supply shortage, can I even get my share?
These questions seemed small, but once they took root in people's hearts, they were difficult to erase. This would only lead to a further decline in morale, making it impossible to even distribute basic ninja tool equipment. How could this war be fought?
Are they going to rush onto the battlefield just to die?
Under these circumstances, Kirigakure would definitely fall silent, not allowing the battle to erupt, at least not before internal problems were resolved.
"It would be strange if they weren't silent. A large batch of camp supplies was destroyed. Tsk tsk, I think from today on, quite a few Kirigakure ninjas will have to sleep on the ground."
Recalling the burning bonfire in the camp and the horrified expressions on the faces of those Kirigakure ninjas, Rong Lin couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
"That's good. I hope Kirigakure has some self-awareness and retreats soon. Honestly, launching a war by crossing the sea like this isn't a wise choice."
Tsunade sighed. She couldn't understand how Kirigakure's decision to start a war was made. Was it worth it?
Sunagakure and Iwagakure's involvement was understandable. They could get a piece of the pie at any time. But Kirigakure was so far from the Land of Fire. What were they wasting their time for?
"If they could make a clear choice, they wouldn't have started this war so vaguely. Who knows what they're plotting."
Rong Lin chuckled, leaning on a chair, and asked suspiciously, "Oh, right, where's your tea?"
If the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind won, they might even take a bite out of the Land of Fire's territory. The Land of Fire's barren land was what they had always valued. But for the Land of Water, just thinking about that distance was enough.
"Uchiha Rong Lin!! Everyone's still on the battlefield~!"
Tsunade, unable to bear it, roared loudly. At this time, you still have the leisure to drink tea? You really pick your moments.
"Didn't the people of Kirigakure retreat? They're already cleaning up the battlefield. Why can't I drink tea? I didn't ask for alcohol."
Rong Lin was not to be intimidated. Now, Tsunade's power was getting less and less effective.
"..."
Tsunade herself knew this point well. Besides helplessness, there was only helplessness. Now, she was helpless against Rong Lin. She wished she had severely punished this brat earlier. But it was too late now.
---Division Line---
"Uchiha Rong Lin!!! May you die a terrible death!!!"
Rong Lin guessed correctly. When the Third Mizukage returned to the camp with a large group of Kirigakure ninjas, seeing the camp almost razed to the ground, he was so angry that he directly fainted. The first thing he said after waking up was to curse Rong Lin to a terrible death.
Rong Lin had still shown mercy. The command center of the Kirigakure camp remained. A group of high-ranking officials gathered together, relatively speechless. Everyone's expressions were grim, even ash-white.
Because of the environment, Kirigakure ninjas had paler skin compared to ninjas from other villages, revealing a sickly white color, which now looked even worse.
"If you ask me, just fight them head-on and take on Konoha!!!"
The command center was silent. No one spoke. Finally, the hot-tempered Hozuki Clan Head couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Idiot!!!"
In the command center, most people looked at the Hozuki Clan Head and snorted coldly, showing great disdain. Only someone as warlike as the Hozuki clan, who also disliked using their brains, would say such arrogant words.
"Heh heh~ Why don't you Hozuki clan members sneak into Konoha and join forces with the Hyuga clan, and let them take on Konoha?"
In Kirigakure, the Hozuki clan was not well-liked. In the eyes of other families, this was a warlike, madman-like family. To describe them using the words of other families was to call them a group of madmen. The entire family had very few sane people, and like mad dogs, they would bite anyone they met. They would deal with everything with battle.
This situation was very similar to the Uchiha clan in Konoha, except the Uchiha weren't driven to that extent of madness.
Even stranger was that the Hozuki clan, this mad family, actually had a very good relationship with the Hyuga clan. Their interactions were very deep.
"Hozuki, old demon, what do you mean?!!!"
The Hozuki Clan Head snorted, clearly not wanting to say more to the other party.
"Enough!!!!"
The Third Mizukage slammed the table fiercely and raged:
"What time is it? And you're still bickering? Don't you have any manners?!!"
The Hozuki Clan Head and the Hyuga Clan Head, who were arguing, finally quieted down.
"I believe you've also seen the situation before us. Uchiha Rong Lin destroyed a large amount of our supplies. Everyone, tell me, how should we face the upcoming war?"
Hozuki and Hyuga did not tolerate challenges from others. The Third Mizukage was even more so. Letting the two of them bicker and argue was not equivalent to slapping him in the face?
The dignified Third Mizukage couldn't even control his own subordinates.
Now, a large batch of supplies had been destroyed, leading Kirigakure, which was already struggling, into an even worse predicament, adding frost to snow. The remaining supplies were not enough to support the movements of hundreds of ninjas.
Fighting was originally a test of material consumption, but somehow, they were pushed into the abyss by Uchiha Rong Lin.
"It's not good. War supplies are very limited. Sea transport is difficult. We basically can't rely on Iwagakure. Even if they agree to continue providing us with supplies, Konoha will target them, and in the end, they will only suffer losses."
The middle-aged man who had been following the Third Mizukage sighed. Seeing that no one dared to speak, he had no choice but to step forward and set an example.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's already grim faces grew even grimmer.
The remaining supplies were not enough to last until the end of the war, and sea transport was very difficult. Even if the village had a large amount of accumulated supplies, they couldn't be transported here.
