With Kirigakure's withdrawal, the raid finally came to an end.
Most of the Konoha ninjas who returned from the sea were exhausted. Looking at the corpses on the ground, some were sad, some were angry, but most of them were speechless.
Death seems to be a common thing. It is good to survive. Who has the desire to ask for more
"Chen, after this battle, can the war with the Kingdom of Water end?" Naoki asked after reuniting with his friends after a long absence.
Even the enemy commanders were defeated and fled, and there were currently only four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen left. Coupled with the previous victory of the Bear Country, he felt that Kirigakure Village should choose peace talks.
"It's early." Chen, who was at the back of the team, shook his head.
"If this battle can really be decided in one battle and Kirigakure is completely defeated, I will definitely lead everyone to chase and kill regardless of life and death, regardless of risks. How can I let Kirigakure escape and retreat?"
Kirigakure was defeated, but there were still many troops stationed on the border of Yuno Country. They could either invade the Fire Country or form a coalition with the Kumogakure Village.
Moreover, there are many ninjas in Kirigakure Village who are still sent to the battlefield. Now that the war has just entered the middle stage, how could the fourth generation Mizukage choose peace talks.
"Even if it's not enough to bring about peace talks in Kirigakure Village, we can expel each other from the Country of Waves, right?"
"It depends on how many victories we get today." Chen said, squinting at the slowly rising sun.

Cleaning up the battlefield was extremely troublesome, as one had to identify the Konoha ninjas and count the number of deaths. In the afternoon, slightly more detailed data was presented.
After receiving the report of battle damage, Chen glanced at it. Although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but frown.
Of the nearly two thousand Konoha ninjas, more than 500 were killed... and a considerable number of ninjas suffered injuries of varying degrees.
Although the losses were much less than Kirigakure's, now that Konoha was one against four, it was natural that they had to be careful in their calculations.
After putting down the stat sheet, he resumed his work.
Now that he has arrived at the front line, Lu Yun, who has temporarily assumed this position, has handed over all the position and authority of the commander to Chen.
During this day, the two of them were working on the handover.
A frontline commander has to manage a lot of things, and all aspects are taken into consideration. Fortunately, he has learned from Orochimaru for a long time, otherwise he would not know where to start.
In fact, his workload is already quite small. After all, he has talents like Lu Yun who can help him a lot.
It was dark at night, and after several meetings, Chen was sitting in the central tent, writing a report to Konoha at his desk.
This sneak attack is already considered a large-scale battle. No matter what, the detailed information must be sent to the Third Hokage completely so that the other party can have a detailed understanding of the front line.
In addition, the achievements of ninjas who have made great achievements must be recorded.
The Third Hokage needs to know which war heroes there are, and then follow the procedures to praise them where they should be praised and publicize them in the village.
Uncle She used to do these things, and Chen occasionally helped draft them a few times, so he was very familiar with them.
Anyway, it’s just bragging to the sea and bragging to death. After all, it’s business bragging.
As for whether he will be sucked to death by his poisonous milk... that is another story.
Anyway, the people of Konoha only need to know that the situation on the front line is excellent, and other villages have either suffered heavy losses or suffered retribution from natural and man-made disasters.
In addition to this, there are also death lists to be transcribed.
Although it was a great victory, it was inevitable that there would be deaths, injuries, and maimings. These people would have to be reported to the Third Hokage, and the village would provide subsidies to these families.
If the previous things can be omitted, this point must be very cautious, because it is related to the future survival of many war orphans.
Chen left this task to Himeji, so the two of them had not eaten at this point.
"Shengshu, are you here?" He finally stopped writing for a moment and was about to take a rest. When Chen looked up, he found Shengshu opening the tent and walking in.
"I suddenly remembered something, so I want to tell you." Shengshu said.
"What's the matter?" Chen motioned for him to sit down and asked Himeji to go have some food.
"When Kirigakure attacked in the morning, Nonou and I were together..." Naoki paused and continued: "On patrol... Then I heard an explosion, but at that time the explosion was already very close to the station."
"The enemy probably bypassed the reconnaissance ninjas and launched the raid quietly. Therefore, Nonoyu and I suspected that there were spies in the frontline headquarters."
During the Jonin meeting, Naoki didn't mention this matter because he was afraid of alerting others.
Chen nodded: "Senior Lu Yun has already told me about this matter, and his thoughts are the same as yours."
"But the problem is that there are only a few ninjas who know the detailed layout of the reconnaissance ninjas, and none of these people can be Kirigakure's spies."
"Could it be someone who accidentally leaked it?" Shengshu asked.
Chen shook his head: "Then this is even more impossible to investigate."
Could he still ask ANBU to invite Hizu for tea and ask if he had leaked this matter? !
Of course, on the one hand, there was no way to investigate. On the other hand, Chen felt that this matter should be related to Bai Jue.
Kirigakure Village should obviously be under Madara's control now. Bai Zetsu wants to investigate something. No one in this ninja world can hide it.
"Then let's just let it go?" Shengshu asked.
Chen picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and said with a smile, "I already have a solution."
At this moment, Himeji opened the tent corridor and came in, carrying a lunch box in her hand, which she obviously brought for Chen.
Chen thanked him after taking it, and then looked at Shengshu: "You must have eaten it, right?"
"I've eaten, what's wrong?" Shengshu had a bad premonition.
"Now that I've eaten..." Chen suddenly turned to look at Himeji and asked, "How many names are there that haven't been copied?"
"There are more than three hundred." Himeji replied.
"Then two hundred will be given to Rope Tree."
“…”
"I have to go on patrol at night." Shengshu waved his hand quickly.
"What are you patrolling for? Do you think I don't know that you are going on a date with Nonou?" Chen curled his lips, "Hurry up and work, Minato has to help Uncle Jiraiya in the Kingdom of Wind. Are you embarrassed? help me?"
Shengshu took the scroll helplessly. After a while, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "Chen, have you written a report on my achievements for me?"
"It's done. I'll be able to single-handedly carry over a dozen jounin and kill one of the seven, Tongcao Yejiren. All the mist ninjas will be frightened when they see it... How about it?"
"You can't do this." Naoki shook his head, "You need to use some rhetorical techniques, not to mention exaggerating, at least to compare it with the Fourth Mizukage?"
“…”
Chen felt that if the rope tree died, it would be because of his own milk.
"It's time to give yourself a title." Shen Shu didn't pay attention to Chen's expression, but muttered while copying.
"Water God... No, this is the title of my second grandfather. King of Water Escape... No, it's too old-fashioned."
Naoshu turned to look at Chen and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"
Chen thought for a while, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Let's call him... Neptune."
