Chapter 160 The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop
Wait until the ninjas of the Second Mobile Battalion quickly make a detour and block the last counterattack from behind by Brother Tumu in desperation.
The outcome of this battle was no longer in doubt.
The support battalion and the perception battalion are still cooperating tacitly, marking and locking heads, and calling out names with ninjutsu, with outstanding results!
Finally, after a short rest, the assault battalion launched a second charge under the leadership of Yayu, which completely drove the morale of the recruits in front of them into a ditch.
A clean and decisive victory!
Brother Tumu fought bravely until the very last moment, and was still trying to decapitate Yayu right before the end.
Unfortunately, due to the absolute gap in numbers and discipline, he was intercepted by the assault battalion before he could reach Crow Feather, and was finally tragically hit by a ninjutsu and died gloriously.
After the fight, Shiba Kiyokawa brought in a medical team to help treat both sides.
According to statistics after the war, the new recruits were naturally wiped out, while the veterans only lost about twenty people.
These twenty-odd people were mainly the result of a surprise attack by the twelve senior ninjas before the formation was deployed.
It is believed that if the veterans were allowed to line up their formations before the battle and wait for the opportunity to strike, they would have a good chance of defeating the same number of new recruits with only single-digit losses!
Even these new recruits are a group of ninjas with rich combat experience!
Such a result shocked Brother Tumu and deeply impressed Deidara who was floating high in the sky.
"This is incredible! You are indeed the art master I admire! The Akatsuki organization is truly a temple of art!"
On the ground, Shiba Kiyokawa came to the somewhat distraught Tumu brother.
The other party was still mumbling in despair, "How could this happen?"
Shiba Qinghe chuckled and said to him, "What's your name?"
"My name is Tetsuji Kiyono."
"Are you unwilling to accept this? Are you wondering why the ninjas' levels are similar, but the actual fighting is so different?"
"I……"
"Want to learn?"
"what?"
"Do you want to learn? If you want to learn, I'll teach you."
At that moment, the lifeless eyes of the civil engineer Qingno Tetsuji suddenly lit up again.
"From now on, you just need to follow the arrangements, obey the orders, strictly abide by the organization's discipline and carry out training. It won't be long before you become one of them."
After saying this, Shiba Qinghe reached out and patted Brother Tumu's shoulder encouragingly.
If it were before this war, such promises might at best be met with a perfunctory response.
But now after this battle, everything has become different!
The Akatsuki organization truly demonstrated its strength. Not only did it completely extinguish the flames of rebellion in the hearts of these troublemakers, but it also rekindled the flames of longing in their hearts!
If the good life in the Rain Country only attracted people like Tetsuji Kiyono to stay in the past;
Now, with the Akatsuki organization showing off its military power and Shiba Kiyokawa persuading them, the "devil" before them seems to be seducing their souls!
"The future belongs to you. Even though your military rank won't be very high when you first join the army, you have the strength of a jonin. The organization will definitely give you priority in the subsequent promotion process!
If you are still unwilling to be commanded by a Chunin, then complete your training as soon as possible, and then go to the battlefield to prove yourself with your merits and achievements! "
Finally, Shiba Kiyokawa's impassioned encouragement completely ignited the scattered fighting spirit and ambition in Seino Tetsuji's eyes!
At this point, these twelve jonin finally fell into the hands of Shiba Kiyokawa!
"What an unexpectedly great harvest~" Shiba Kiyokawa said happily in his heart.
In the battle just now, although the recruits were crushed as a whole, the twelve senior ninjas led by Tetsuji Seino still demonstrated their impressive individual strength.
They are not ordinary jonin, they are jonin who meet the elite standards of the great ninja villages, they are genuine jonin!
For the Akatsuki organization, whose middle-level officers had just been slaughtered by Minato Namikaze, such a reinforcement was very timely!
Shiba Kiyokawa's transformation of the Rain Country and Akatsuki is gradually helping him attract talents from all over the ninja world!
Time is on his side.
Unfortunately, at the critical moment when he needed the most time to develop, the wind did not stop even though the tree wanted to be still. Iwagakure came to the door again.
Before the formal meeting, Deidara, who was following Huang Tu, kept winking at Shiba Kiyokawa.
In the end, he simply mouthed a warning: "Be careful! My master is coming!"
Finally, he was arrested on the spot by Huang Tu and hit hard on the head.
"You little idiot! Which side are you from?"
The loess is disappointed that iron cannot be made into steel.
Huangtu has been very worried recently: Iwagakure finally produced a little genius with a bloodline limit, but after not seeing him for a few days, his mind has been wandering more and more.
What is this?
"Your master?" Zhiba Qinghe looked at Huangtu strangely.
Until the latter reminded, "This little bastard's master is my father."
Shiba Kiyokawa then realized that it was the Tsuchikage Nenbi Oonoki who was coming.
Huang Tu was just accepting disciples on behalf of his father.
Even though he was the one who usually taught Deidara, this kid was still registered under Ōnoki's name and was considered his junior fellow apprentice, not his disciple.
Upon hearing the news that Oonoki was coming, Shiba Kiyokawa's expression straightened.
This old fox is not easy to fool! He is much harder to deal with than the simple and honest loess.
Sure enough, when they met not long after, Oonoki spoke frankly.
"Qinghe Jun, or should I call you Great Leader Qinghe now, is it time to share the information you got from the Root with us?"
As expected, the old fox refused to give in as soon as he arrived.
However, compared to their initial attitude of not taking Akatsuki seriously at all, their bluffing at this time actually exposed their fear of themselves.
Now one third of the Grass Country has fallen into the hands of Akatsuki, and important mines have also been obtained. Seeing this, Shiba Kiyokawa finally stopped keeping the secret.
"We have received intelligence: Namikaze Minato intends to cut off your supply lines and return to the village to take up his post after winning a brilliant victory."
After receiving the information, Ōnoki pretended to be angry and loudly cursed Konoha Village, expressing Iwagakure's determination not to compromise or give in.
But then, his eyes rolled, which immediately made Shiba Qinghe feel a little alert.
"I know about this. Thank you, Chief Qinghe, for sharing such important information with us. We will pay more attention to the defense of the supply line in the future."
But in the end, the old man changed the subject and talked about something else.
"Just blindly defending will only embolden those bastards in Konoha.
Leader Qinghe, you young people are generally more energetic. Do you want to join us in invading the Land of Fire and teach those bastards in Konoha a lesson?"
At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa narrowed his eyes, looked at Oonoki carefully, and a subtle playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He realized: this cunning old fox was trying to trick him!
There will be another update tonight
