Chapter 59: The Final Chapter of the Iwa Shinobi War
The battle was over, and Iron Ninja's earth-escaped city had long been turned into ruins.
The city walls were full of gaps, and the fortifications in the city had already become broken walls in battle.
The battlefield was full of unburned flames and smoke.
Under the cover of Loess and the Five-tailed Man Rikiha, the remaining Iwagen troops retreated.
Iwa Nin had a great disadvantage, with a 20,000 troops losing more than 9,000, almost half of the casualties.
But Iwa Ninja's tenacity is still impressive. Even before the war, Konoha tried to weaken Iwa Ninja's combat effectiveness, Konoha suffered about 4,000 casualties in this battle.
The huge loss left Konoha without pursuing her.
Konoha finally won the victory over the Iwa Ninja War, a complete victory and a miserable victory.
Before the Third Ninja World War, Konoha had more than 21,000 ninjas.
In order to defeat Sand Hidden Village, three thousand ninjas were sacrificed. In that war, Danzo also lost his command position.
In order to defeat Iwaken Village, and this decisive battle, seven thousand ninjas were sacrificed.
In other words, the war with Sand Village and Iwaki Village, two of the five major ninja villages, almost half of Konoha's number of ninjas.
From the cold numbers, you can know the cruelty of the ninja war.
In the past two years, more than 1,500 newcomers have graduated from the Ninja School.
The total number of ninjas in Konoha is about 12,500, and at most it will not exceed 13,000.
There is also the Mist Hidden Village that is raging on the southeastern border of the Kingdom of Fire, and the Cloud Hidden Village that is eager to try.
Perhaps, after the third Ninja War, nine out of ten rooms will be empty, which is not an exaggerated adjective, but an accurate final statistics of Konoha Ninja.
As a special ninja, Duanmu listened to the post-war report in the command tent.
The command center arranged statistics on sacrifice ninjas and prepared to transport the 4,000 Konoha ninja bodies sacrificed in this battle back to Konoha Village for burial.
The command center believes that the Iwa Ninja no longer has the power to fight again in a short period of time, so there is no need for the troops to stay here.
In the direction of the Cloud Hidden Village of the Kingdom of Thunder, Konoha also arranged five thousand ninjas, and Orochimaru prepared to let the five thousand ninjas be responsible for the intelligence and defense of the entire northern border of the Kingdom of Fire.
The troops that have been fighting here for a whole year have all been transferred back to Konoha Village to rest, preparing for next year's war.
After the war, Master Minato led 5,000 ninjas to continue to station on the border in the northern part of the Kingdom of Fire, guarding against possible invasions from Iwaken Village and Cloud Village.
As for the other commanders, Orochimaru's mind was no longer on the battlefield.
After seeing the power of the Hakufeng Mizumaki access control technique, he wanted to go back to Konoha and thought about how many access control techniques he could get.
Danzo's consultant was a perfect match on the Iwa Ninja battlefield and was vaguely suppressed by Orochimaru and Hakusuke Mizuno. He heard that the Hidden Village of Mizuno was invaded, so he was eager to return to the village and fight for him the position of commander-in-chief.
As for the other deputy commander, Nara Kama, his strength is not allowed! If the other village’s person, Churiki, comes, what else can Nara Kama do besides giving his country a favor?
So, under the leadership of Orochimaru, eight thousand alive ninjas, led by the commander-in-chief, and took the corpses of four thousand Konoha sacrifice ninjas and set off for Konoha to repair.
In the past year, more than 3,000 Konoha ninjas who had died in the Iwa Ninja battlefield had already returned to Konoha in batches.
What surprised Duanmu was that the young people in the army directly under the Shuimen Lord did not garrison with Shuimen Lord, but also had the opportunity to return to the village.
Duanmu Zheng and Shu Jiu, Hong walked together.
Duanmu said: "I didn't expect that, I thought your brigade would definitely stay on the northern border and be stationed with Master Shuimu."
Hong looked at Kakashi in front of her and said, "Maybe it was because Uchiha Obito of Kakashi's team died. Their teacher wanted Kakashi and Lin to go back to Konoha to relax. So, we, the same class, can all go back to Konoha."
Hong said with some concern: "Kakashi and Lin are so pitiful. Obito died in front of them. Lin is still a medical ninja and has not saved Obito. Alas, I hope Kakashi and Lin will have good luck in the future."
Duanmu felt that good luck was impossible.
Under the nose of Hakusuke Mizuno, Kakashi's team was designed by Uchiha Madara in various designs. Unless Uchiha Madara achieves its goal, who can stop Uchiha Madara now in Konoha?
If Duanmu jumped out now, Duanmu would probably not see the sun tomorrow.
In the distance, Kakashi walked in front, Lin followed behind. Lin kept looking at Kakashi in front with concern, wanting to speak but stopping.
Shujiu said: "Dunmu, after you go back, let's practice together!"
Duanmu nodded: "Hands are so hard that we can't help but take advantage of this precious refining time. After we go back, we should really practice together. I recently created a seal technique that can increase the amount of chakra extracted. If I continue to practice, it can also increase the strength of the internal organs of the human body."
Duanmu raised his hand, and five chakra flames appeared on his fingers. In the flames, the five words "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" lit up one after another, which was very beautiful.
"The name of this seal technique is called the Seal of the Five Elements Reincarnation!"
Hong is very interested in all the beautiful things and is also very much looking forward to this sealing technique.
After watching the chakra flames for a while, until the flames went out between Duanmu's hands, he put his hands behind his head and said, "My goal is not to fall behind others too much!"
Duanmu said:
"Let's work hard together! We all have a bright future!"
Among the crowds who were welcoming the front line ninjas back to the village, Duanmu saw Xiao Yuki whose abdomen was already bulging!
It turns out that Miyake is not guessing! His wife is really pregnant!
Miyake ran towards Xiaoyuki happily like a child.
Duanmu clearly saw that Miyake's running posture was very stiff. If Duanmu read it correctly, would he be a straightforward?
After Miyake ran to Xiaoyuke's side, he knelt on one knee on his left knee, his face against Xiaoyuke's abdomen was very close, and he didn't dare to really put it on.
He stretched out his right hand, trembling, as if he wanted to touch Xiao Youchi's raised abdomen, but his hand was stiff in mid-air and he didn't know what to do.
Miyake's right hand clenched his fists nervously and opened again. His hands were covered with calluses. He had been a ninja for too long and had no seriousness in his attack. He was afraid that he would be frightened by the child who was still in Xiaoyu's stomach.
In the end, Koyuki smiled and pressed Miyake's hand on her abdomen.
Miyake's dark old face was full of smiles, and the folds at the corners of his eyes were like the tail of a folding fan.
Duanmu clearly saw tears in Miyake's eyes.
In the crowd, I saw a thin black and thin middle-aged man who couldn't tell whether he was forty or fifty years old. He was lying down on the belly of a pregnant woman and snuggling silently.
This is such a warm picture. Teacher Miyake worked hard for half his life, and this is the most beautiful harvest.
Duanmu did not disturb his master and his wife. After watching from a distance, he nodded with Xiaoyouche's wife and left first.
Duanmu went home to report his safety to his mother. His father was not in Konoha Village, but was still working on the iron ore of the Sarutobi clan.
After sharing some joy of becoming a special young man with my mother, I fell asleep in my room on the second floor.
