Konoha will not give them that much preparation time. Everyone can almost conclude that if there is no movement in a few days, Konoha will definitely launch an attack.
Sea transport is unreliable, and land transport is also not feasible. Let alone whether Iwagakure is willing to provide supplies now, even if they do, how would they transport them?
Konoha will definitely keep a close eye on them. As long as there is any movement, they will immediately intercept the supplies. It can be said that Kirigakure has directly fallen into a dilemma.
Sighs continuously echoed in the command center, making the Third Mizukage's face increasingly grim.
Kirigakure's camp was shrouded in gloom, while Konoha's camp was filled with joy.
Tsunade immediately relayed the news of Rong Lin destroying Kirigakure's camp. Thousands of Konoha ninjas cheered excitedly, including the Hyuga clan, who were at odds with Rong Lin, but still didn't care.
This was a huge piece of good news, boosting morale.
Having lost a large batch of supplies, Kirigakure certainly couldn't afford to continue. They faced two choices.
First, decisively choose to retreat, returning to the village with anger. Gritting their teeth and bearing all the losses. Second, launch a full-scale attack without regard for anything else, either succeeding or failing in this one attempt.
The news spread, and everyone was filled with joy. Even if many people died in today's war, it still couldn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm.
But in the command center, there was no such emotion. Kirigakure's supplies being destroyed en masse was good news, but good news would also bring some after-effects, such as the rampant corruption in Kirigakure.
Two paths: either retreat, or launch an attack without regard for anything else. What would Kirigakure choose?
Swallow all the bitter fruits and return to the village in disarray?
If they chose this, one could almost say that the Third Mizukage would almost reach the end of his rope. It would be strange if he wasn't jointly ousted.
Such a great loss. Would the sacrifices of the laboring people yield such a result?
Therefore, relatively speaking, the possibility of Kirigakure launching an attack without regard for anything else would be greater!
"The above is my point of view. I think Kirigakure might launch a crazy attack on us. They are unwilling to accept the bitter fruit of failure. The only thing they can do is fight to determine the victor! Lose and go back to lick their wounds, win and continue to expand their interests, plundering and replenishing on the land of our Land of Fire."
"I am 80% confident that Kirigakure will launch a final attack."
Within the command center, Shikamaru Nara analyzed the possibility of Kirigakure fighting a desperate battle. Various factors combined made the possibility of a final battle exceed 80%!
If he could choose, Konoha would naturally hope that Kirigakure could be stopped here and retreat obediently. But unfortunately, the idea was good, but reality was cruel. The Third Mizukage couldn't bear that responsibility, and the various great families were also unwilling to bear it. The only outcome was to launch an attack! A battle to determine victory or defeat.
If they lost, they would accept Konoha's reprimand and compensation. If they won, they would enjoy the spoils of war, and then join forces with Sunagakure to continue attacking Konoha.
"This group of madmen."
At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but admit that the ninjas of Kirigakure were a group of madmen. If this were Konoha, they would definitely retreat. Otherwise, in the end, regardless of victory or defeat, the guilt would be unbearable.
Uchiha Fugaku could only say, "Madmen. I, Uchiha Fugaku, will concede. You win!!!"
It was very rare for Uchiha Fugaku's words to receive the approval of many people. This was basically impossible to happen normally.
"Whether the opponent is crazy or not, we all need to deal with the situation that may arise next. This is a crucial battle that will determine the outcome of the war between Konoha and Kirigakure!"
Tsunade, as the supreme commander, was furious. One wave had not settled, and another arose. Not long after the good news came, even more serious problems arrived again.
This made Tsunade a little frantic. Why did she just happen to be transferred here?
That old man, the Third, was really biased. Looking at Jiraiya, looking at Orochimaru, one by one, they were either fighting Iwagakure or Sunagakure. Only she had to deal with Kirigakure alone.
"We cannot be careless at all, no matter if the enemy retreats or fights to the death!!!"
Everyone nodded in agreement with Tsunade. The decisive battle was coming. Casualties would definitely be severe. What made it even more frustrating was that Konoha's main force would be countered. Some even privately discussed that the Third Hokage was dissatisfied with the Uchiha clan, which was why he transferred them here, and even dispatched the family with the most members.
The Uchiha clan, skilled in Fire Release, encountering Kirigakure ninjas, the outcome goes without saying.
The Hyuga clan wouldn't fare well either. The Hyuga and Hozuki clans had a good relationship, but what should they do when they meet on the battlefield?
To fight or not to fight, that was the question.
From the village's perspective, they must fight. But from the family's perspective, they shouldn't. Continuously fighting to the death with allied family members meant cutting off ties between families.
Fortunately, Tsunade and Shikamaru Nara were sensible and never let the Hyuga clan directly engage the Hozuki clan. The two families seemed relatively stable, at least for now.
"We need to make some targeted arrangements against Kirigakure ninjas. Like us, most of their ninjas come from large families. Many families have special Kekkei Genkai. Everyone knows this. For example, the Hozuki clan, like the Hyuga clan, the Yuki clan, and even the Hozuki clan, which possesses special secret techniques, also needs to be given special attention."
Konoha has many large families. Similarly, Kirigakure also has many. Relatively speaking, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure have fewer special families.
Families with special secret techniques and Kekkei Genkai are all difficult to deal with. Konoha and Kirigakure are roughly evenly matched in this regard.
Konoha needs to make corresponding arrangements against these family ninjas of Kirigakure, and conversely, Kirigakure also needs to make targeted arrangements for this.
Everyone in the command center had their own opinions, arguing non-stop. But Rong Lin, sitting below Tsunade, felt a bit out of place. Speaking of these families with Kekkei Genkai and special secret techniques, it made Rong Lin recall a few people.
Such as Kimimaro of the Kaguya clan, that perverted and heaven-defying fellow, and Haku of the Yuki clan.
In the original work, Kimimaro was also a genius crippled by illness. It seemed that people who awakened Kekkei Genkai in the Kaguya clan would suffer from a special strange illness. God knows to what extent Kimimaro could have grown if he hadn't died from this strange illness.
Another Haku also left a deep impression.
