Chapter 54: The Rations Are Destroyed

"Okay, then send someone back,"

Kawaki couldn't figure out the key to the situation at the moment and could only adapt to the changes.

In the original plot, there wasn't much description of the details of the Second Shinobi World War, only the appearances of important characters.

Kawaki analyzed the current situation and didn't think there was anything wrong with Orochimaru's strategy.

He guessed that it was his own flapping of the "butterfly wings" that had changed something.

"Ito-kun, take some people back to the camp and bring all the supplies."

"We'll advance slowly and catch up with you earlier."

"Any problems?"

Orochimaru didn't want to waste time and the large troop continued to advance deeper into the Land of Rain.

"No problem, Lord Orochimaru."

This Konoha Jonin named Ito selected three Chunin and headed back to the camp.

"Kawaki-kun, you deserve half of the credit for this battle."

Orochimaru was in a very good mood at the moment. He had only been here for a short time and had won two consecutive battles.

There was even less of the cold and gloomy aura in his words, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"You're overestimating me. I just put forward some suggestions."

With Tsunade absent, Kawaki wasn't interested in these merits and responded modestly.

He thought that if the Land of Rain was easily conquered, Tsunade should participate in battles against other ninja villages to gain some popularity. Otherwise, it would be quite difficult for her to become the Hokage.

The two young ones watched the two elders chatting and quietly kept their mouths shut. How much they could learn from their two teachers depended entirely on their own capabilities.

"Let's keep moving forward."

"Sure."

Orochimaru now regarded Kawaki as someone to discuss matters with and would always ask for his opinion on everything.

"Assemble and move out."

At the order, the Konoha Ninjas who had cleaned up the battlefield continued to move forward.

Compared with the high - spirited Konoha Ninjas, Yamaru of the Land of Rain was in a sorry state after leading the remnants of his troops to flee the battlefield.

As soon as he left the battlefield, he immediately circled back to the location of the Konoha camp.

"I didn't expect there were so many powerful ninjas in Konoha."

"Jichiro also died at the hands of that strange guy in a tight - fitting suit with a center - part hairstyle."

"Now we can no longer stop the advance of the Konoha large troop."

"There's only one last way. We must destroy their supplies."

"Then the Konoha Ninjas will have to stop their invasion."

"Shimen-kun, please go and report to Lord Hanzō."

"I, Yamaru, have not let him down."

After saying that, Yamaru led the dozens of ninjas he had gathered and charged towards the Konoha camp on the border of the Land of Rain.

Each ninja was tied with a large number of Explosive Tags.

This was their last chance.

It was also Yamaru's last desperate attempt with the determination to sacrifice himself.

Shimen watched his comrades who had charged out, took a long last look at them.

Then he turned around and left. His task was equally important.

When Yamaru had rushed halfway, some Konoha Ninjas stepped out to fight.

There was no confrontation of Ninjutsu, only screams and violent explosions echoing around the camp.

The suicide charge of the Rain ninjas soon broke into the camp.

Although the Konoha Ninjas had an advantage in numbers, however, the Rain ninjas scattered, and they couldn't achieve a good effect of blocking the enemy.

After Konoha had paid the price of over a hundred ninja lives, there were still Rain ninjas led by Yamaru who rushed in front of the supply warehouse.

Without hesitation, Yamaru shouted, "Lord Hanzō, I, Yamaru, will follow you in my next life."

Then there was a loud noise, and both Yamaru and the warehouse scattered into pieces, floating in the air and then falling everywhere.

When Ito returned to the camp with three Chunin, he was quite shocked by the scene in front of him.

"What's going on?"

Ito rushed into the camp and shouted angrily.

"My lord, the Rain ninjas launched a suicide attack, and all our supplies were blown up."

"More than a hundred ninjas were killed or injured."

...

At this time, an intact Konoha ninja came to report the current situation.

"Damn Rain ninjas, they've gone so crazy."

"Organize the camp. I'll report this to Lord Orochimaru."

Without even taking the time to drink a mouthful of water, Ito didn't even bother with the Chunin he brought.

He rushed at full speed. Without supplies, it was impossible to fight deep in the enemy country.

Ito was extremely worried. He didn't know how angry Lord Orochimaru would be.

Thinking of Orochimaru's cold face and emotionless snake eyes, Ito couldn't help shivering.

Finally, after an hour, he caught up with the large troop. Ito pushed through the numerous ninjas and found Orochimaru.

"Lord Orochimaru, the supplies in the camp were destroyed by the Rain ninjas."

"Now we have no food left."

"It's not a wise move to go deeper into the Land of Rain now."

Ito reported the intelligence to Orochimaru, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Kawaki watched clearly from the side. Orochimaru's previously smiling face had now turned as cold as ice.

"What exactly happened? Explain clearly."

Orochimaru's gaze was sharp. He was holding back his anger. This was like a bucket of cold water splashed on his head, dousing all his ambitions.

"Take your time and don't be in a hurry."

Kawaki spoke up to relieve Ito's mental burden. The killing intent emanating from Orochimaru was terrifying.

"About dozens of Rain ninja stragglers rushed towards the camp with Explosive Tags all over their bodies."

"They weren't aiming to kill. They just targeted the supplies and blew up all the warehouses."

"None of the Rain ninjas survived."

Ito finally managed to explain the whole thing under the pressure.

"How cruel. They just wanted to stop our advance."

Orochimaru couldn't change the situation. Now he had calmed down and his killing intent faded.

"Declaring war on three countries with the power of one country, Hanzō's confidence doesn't come from just himself."

Kawaki didn't mention that he had previously advised to pay attention to the supplies. It would only make Orochimaru feel uncomfortable.

"Sigh~ Kawaki - kun, it was my fault that I didn't follow your suggestion."

Orochimaru remembered Kawaki's words before and looked full of regret, but it's no use.

"Let's return to the camp first. Send someone to Konoha and ask the Third Hokage to get rations from the Daimyō."

"When the supplies arrive, we can set off again."

"The deaths of these Rain ninjas are just buying a little more time for the Land of Rain to linger on."

After thinking it over, Kawaki figured Konoha still had the upper hand. Then he gave his suggestion to Orochimaru.

"Alright, let's do as you suggest, Kawaki-kun."

"Send the order to return to the camp!"

Orochimaru accepted the reality, but his tone showed he was still unwilling.

Such a great chance just slipped away in a flash. By the time the Daimyō's supplies arrived, who knew what the situation on the battlefield would be like.

"Let's go."

Kawaki led the two young ones and followed the large troop, slowly returning to the camp.

Although he had mentally prepared himself, Kawaki still shivered when he saw the bodies of the Konoha Ninjas in front of him.

This sight reminded him of the horrifying human - bomb attacks in the Middle East. It was just so brutal.

Even the Second Hokage only used Impure World Reincarnation. He never imagined the huge commotion this jutsu would cause in the Ninja World.
