If he were the Hokage, he would definitely choose to start with the Sand Village.
Then why didn't he choose to do so?
I'm afraid it has a lot to do with the situation he is experiencing now.
The Sand Ninja and Rain Ninja jointly raided Konoha, causing heavy damage to Konoha, forcing them to change from offensive to defensive, and choosing the Cloud Ninja and Rock Ninja as a breakthrough.
It seems that this impact is really far-reaching.
At the same time, it also laid the foundation for Rasa's position in the Sand Village.
Understanding these things is very important for his next choice.
The Konoha camp at this time is a meat grinder. Even Jonin may die at any time. With his and Shizune's Chunin and Genin strength, they are still just corpse collectors with not much combat power.
They should not actively intervene in such a battle.
At least, not at this time.
This is different from the last time the Konoha advance team collided with the Rock Ninja advance team. This time it is more dangerous, and Kifū was already a member of the battlefield at that time, so he couldn't just not get involved.
But this time, he and Shizune are shouldering another task.
There is no return and no report, there are enough reasons and excuses.
Besides, it's useless for them to go.
"Shizune," Kifū called out.
"Squad Leader Kifū, are we going back to rescue them?" Shizune opened her eager eyes.
Although Kifū said that Tsunade would be fine, she was still a little worried.
"Have you forgotten what I told you before? The principles that a corpse collector should abide by," Kifū looked at her solemnly, with a serious face.
Without waiting for Shizune to speak, he continued: "We corpse collectors bear extremely important responsibilities. We need to safely send our companions' remains back to Konoha. In order to complete this great task, we need to prioritize our own safety!"
"So we..."
Shizune was struggling.
But Kifū's eyes gave her determination.
With heavy emotion, "Shizune, this is the corpse collector. We must and can only witness our companions dedicating themselves to Konoha, because we are also repaying these heroic companions and the village's trust in us in our own way!"
As if feeling the heaviness in Kifū's words, Shizune bit her lip and nodded emphatically.
"I understand!"
"Then tell me, what should we do now?" Kifū asked rhetorically.
"We... should wait until we are sure it is safe enough before approaching the battlefield, so as not to become a burden to our companions! Every ninja is responsible for their own work, and we corpse collectors are no exception. We cannot let personal emotions affect our judgment!"
Shizune's eyes were simple.
Good, you said that.
Kifū nodded with satisfaction.
The two slowed down and slowly approached the battlefield.
Chapter 69 Root's Debut (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, Monthly Ticket)
"Lord Tsunade! The front-line defense forces can't hold on anymore!"
Standing on a small hill overlooking the chaotic battle not far away, a slug the size of a palm on Tsunade's shoulder made a sound that did not belong to it.
Tsunade frowned and gritted her teeth.
The joint raid by the Sand Ninja and Rain Ninja did catch her off guard.
Before, not only Konoha and Sand Ninja, but also the Rock Ninja of Takigakure and the Cloud Ninja of Yugakure had been in a state of minor skirmishes, and the largest scale of conflict did not exceed ten people.
All parties were restrained and did not want to be the first bird to be shot, suffering Konoha's strong counterattack.
In fact, even if the Sand Ninja raided, Tsunade was prepared to deal with it.
It's just that she didn't expect the Rain Ninja, who had been watching from the sidelines, to be drawn in by the Sand Ninja and suddenly join the battle.
The strength of the Rain Ninja is obvious to all. Their existence can greatly affect the trend of the battle in this Land of Rain.
Konoha suffered heavy losses.
But now, Konoha must not retreat.
Because behind them is the border of the Land of Fire. Once the Sand Ninja and Rain Ninja break through the defense and enter the Land of Fire to burn, kill, and loot, even if they can be driven out in the end, such losses are unacceptable to the Land of Fire and Konoha.
The reason why Konoha is strong is that it relies on the fertile land of the Land of Fire. It has a considerable advantage in the consumption of resources.
This is also Konoha's only remaining advantage, the last foundation to resist the joint siege of several major hidden villages.
Once even this foundation is wiped out, even if it can last for a while, if the war is dragged into a protracted war, it will become more and more unfavorable for Konoha.
In any case, we must resist this joint raid by the Sand Ninja and Rain Ninja!
"Damn it!"
Tsunade couldn't help but curse silently.
If it weren't for her hemophobia, she could actually rush to the front line to fight, even though her main responsibility is to command operations and medical logistics.
The only thing that made her feel a little fortunate was that the Sand Ninja and Rain Ninja were wary of her existence, so Chiyo and others did not rashly take action.
It's just that, even without them taking action, the combined number and overall strength of the two sides of ninjas are much stronger than Konoha's side.
As time goes by, Konoha ninjas will eventually be unable to hold on.
Tsunade's eyes narrowed, and her gaze became firm.
The purple crystal diamond at the center of her forehead quietly dissipated, and black lines extended and curved from the center of her forehead, gradually covering Tsunade's forehead, down her neck, chest, arms, and ankles, until they covered her entire body.
Mitotic Regeneration: Strength of a Hundred Sealings!
An S-rank ninjutsu developed by Tsunade herself, which stores daily chakra in the form of the Yin Seal.
When the Yin Seal is released, Tsunade will obtain all the chakra accumulated during this period, unleashing her strongest state.
But Tsunade still didn't move.
