In the afternoon, the offensive in this battle gradually slowed down.
But soon, it got heated again!
Because as a sound broke through the sky, a wide river of sand appeared in the sky.
"It's the Third Kazekage-sama!"
"The Third Kazekage-sama is back!"
Seeing this river of sand, the momentum of the sand ninjas suddenly surged, and Konoha's offensive slowed down.
But soon, Konoha's stagnant offensive also increased.
Everyone in Konoha saw the figure of the Third Hokage!
Along the way, the Third Hokage was chasing the Sand Ninja under Ebizo's command, in order to disrupt the speed of the Third Kazekage's return.
The Third Kazekage didn't know that Orochimaru had launched a general attack, so he struggled with the Third Hokage for a long time. He also wanted to capture Sarutobi Hiruzen with Ebizo.
By the time he knew it, a long time had passed, so he hurried back. But when he came back, Platycodon City was already in flames, and his heart almost sank to the bottom.
Fortunately, there are more ninjas in Sunagakure, coupled with Chiyo's excellent command, Sunagakure still occupies the commanding heights of the terrain, but it is already in danger.
The Third Hokage, covered in blood, walked into Konoha's frontline headquarters, and Tsunade immediately surrounded him.
The Third Hokage waved his hand and said, "It's all the blood of Suna Ninja."
But Tsunade still placed her palms on the Third Hokage, restoring chakra to him.
The Third Hokage didn't pay attention, but looked directly at Orochimaru and asked: "What is the situation now?"
Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice: "The losses have been great. Eight hundred ninjas have been killed in the battle."
The Third Hokage frowned and said coldly: "Kikyou Castle is known as the second Sand Hidden Village, but it was defeated by us in the first ninja war, and this time will be no exception!"
The Third Hokage continued: "You continue to command, I will follow the next batch of attacking ninjas to break into the enemy's position."
Tsunade hesitated to speak.
But the Third Hokage shook his head: "We have blocked two thousand sand ninjas with Chen before, but now, these are nothing."
Orochimaru exhaled a breath and said softly: "I understand."
…
…
As the sun slowly sets, the battle shows no sign of stopping.
On the battlefield, people are dying anytime and anywhere, and the rate of death is getting faster and faster.
The frequency of Konoha's attacks is also getting faster and faster. The most important thing is that under the continuous impact of their own side, they can clearly feel that the Sunagakure offensive is weakening.
Chiyo led fifty puppet masters and fought on the front line for an entire afternoon. If it weren't for the extremely powerful puppets in her hands, and if it weren't for the fact that she was guarded by several skilled jonin, she would have died long ago.
In Platycodon City, corpses that had not been dealt with in time were piled up everywhere.
At this time, the Third Kazekage and the Third Hokage were afraid of affecting other ninjas, so they had gone to fight outside the city. The two commanders, Orochimaru and Tsunade, also joined the battle as the last force.
The city of Platycodon City was filled with fire and roars.
From the beginning of the war to now, in terms of the casualty exchange ratio between the two sides in this war, the sand ninja has been terrible, and has even begun to collapse.
The final result of this war finally began to go as Konoha expected, and the scale of victory tilted towards Konoha.
Late at night.
The Third Kazekage was finally defeated.
However, with the support of Ebizo and Rasa who arrived later, as well as a large number of Suna ninjas who risked their lives to guard him, he finally evacuated the battlefield safely, although he looked a little embarrassed.
But Konoha did not pursue blindly in an attempt to expand the results. Their strategic intention had been achieved, which was to break through Platycodon Castle and break through the last line of defense of Sunagakure Village.
At dawn.
The Battle of Platycodon Mountain has finally come to an end.
Just like the beginning of the war, an eagle's cry sounded above Platycodon City, announcing the end of the war.
Regardless of friend or foe, there were nearly six thousand ninjas inside and outside Platycodon Castle, and they were destined to be unable to hear the sound.
As the commander of this battle, Orochimaru looked at the corpses on the ground, and then sighed softly.
He seemed to hear the wind blowing in Platycodon City.
Weeping and complaining.
…
…
One day later, two pieces of news spread throughout the ninja world:
Two thousand ninjas in Sunagakure Village were wiped out;
Platycodon City was destroyed overnight.
Within a day, the war in the Kingdom of Wind took a turn for the worse, and Sunagakure Village was completely defeated.
The ninja world was in an uproar.
…
…
In Iwagakure Village, the third Tsuchikage Onoki was floating in the air, staring at the huge map of the ninja world that occupied a table, floating around and around.
The big wild wood floated near the Country of Grass, stopped for a moment, then circled to the Country of Wind, and stopped again.
I also stopped for a moment when I saw the area between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Rain.
He finally floated to the center of the table, held the table with both hands, and said to himself: "How could Platycodon Castle be attacked by Orochimaru and Tsunade in one night? How did the three Konoha Thunderbolts stop two thousand sands?" Tolerate?"
"The Third Kazekage, the Third Kazekage, you are a piece of shit, you can definitely hold back Konoha, how can you have the nerve to say such words.
I just believed in your evil deeds, and Yanyin Village fell to this point! "
Onoki slammed the table angrily, describing it that way was probably similar to the anger of the head of state, as if he wanted to feed the Third Kazekage to Stalin.
After being furious for a while, Onoki took a deep breath and sat on the chair.
"According to the current intelligence, Konoha lost at least 2,500 ninjas in the battle of Platycodon Castle. Even if they defeat Sunagakure Village now, it is impossible to immediately support other battlefields."
"There are three battlefields left. The Kingdom of Tang and the Kingdom of Rain have Tsunade-hime's disciples stationed there. There is a high probability that Tsunade-hime will go to the Kingdom of Grass.
As for Orochimaru... Should he go to the Country of Yu to fight against Kumo Ninja, or go to the border of the Country of Rain to support Konoha's Thunder? "
Ohnoki was unable to make a decision for a moment.
Onoki, who had been looking at the map, suddenly lost his sight and said to himself: "Otherwise, let Han also participate in the war?"
But he quickly vetoed it.
"No, it's too risky. Lao Zi has no choice but to go to the battlefield. What if the Five-Tails Jinchuuriki enters the battlefield again and something goes wrong?"
There is no such thing as luck in the ninja world. Iwagakure can't afford to gamble, but Iwagakure is not at a point where he must gamble!
The most troublesome thing is not here.
Ohnoki looked towards Sunagakure Village.
The defeat of this ally is inevitable, and the losses of Sunagakure Village are extremely heavy.
But what if the Third Kazekage declares war on Iwagakure Village in order to stop losses
It's not impossible.
Now the war may continue for another year or two. Sunagakure is now out of the war. If he waits until later to imitate Kumogakure Village, suddenly get involved and launch a long-distance raid on Earth Country, there will be no place to cry.
The third Tsuchikage has never been afraid to speculate on other countries with the worst possible intentions.
Because if it were him, he would do that.
