- Chapter 492 - This is not a loss, this is a tactical retreat
Although Konoha stood up, the Cloud Village could only accept the defeat.
However, it is better not to do such things that stab the ally, at least on the surface.
Because the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Old Purple, was in trouble.
Ohnoki had no choice but to hand over the frontline affairs of the battlefield to his son Huangtu, and hurried back to the Rock Village with a few guards.
Regarding the capture of Old Purple, the top leaders of the Rock Village need to think about it carefully.
In the meeting room of the Tsuchikage office building, the atmosphere was particularly depressing. The top leaders, including Ohnoki, had no good way to solve the problem of Old Purple.
Old Purple, you deserve to die! !
You can make trouble if you want to, and it’s okay to leave in anger, but can’t you hide better?
Good guy, your hiding is that the village can’t find you, but the enemy can find you, right? Now what’s going on, you have been captured and taken to the Cloud Village.
It’s really embarrassing.
“Do you want to withdraw?”
The war has reached this point, and in fact, the top leaders all know that the village can’t win.
It’s just that there has been no suitable step to back down, so we have to fight hard. Now that the old purple incident has broken out, it just gives the village a reason to withdraw.
Jinchūriki, to be precise, the importance of the tailed beast to a village is self-evident. We can not use it, we can imprison it, but we can not do without it, and we can not watch it become something of other villages.
This is the bottom line.
“But if we withdraw our troops……..”
Isn’t it a disguised admission of failure in the war?
Maybe we will also bear a heavy war reparations. It’s fine if we fail to defeat the Cloud Village, but if we still lick our faces to compensate the Cloud Village, it will be more painful for the senior officials of the Rock Village than killing them.
So as soon as the problem was put on the table, it was replaced by a silence.
Even the Daimyo of the Land of Earth frowned and said nothing.
Ohnoki glanced at everyone. He knew that everyone had already had the idea of ending the war, but they were just holding their breath and unwilling to admit that the war was lost.
Since we can’t win, ending the war is certain.
The problem is that the village cannot accept defeat.
Even if the nearly three-year war was in vain, the village cannot accept defeat, let alone bow to the Cloud Ninja Village.
“Withdrawal does not mean failure.”
Seeing that no one dared to speak freely, Ohnoki simply stood up and took the responsibility on himself. Why did no one dare to speak casually?
It was nothing more than fearing that the pot would fall on their heads.
The weight of the pot of war failure was a bit heavy, and most people could not bear it.
Fortunately, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth supported the Rock Ninja Village. The Rock Ninja Village did not need to give an explanation to the Daimyo’s Mansion, but only needed to appease the villagers of the village.
“Everyone, we just had to tactically withdraw. Who said we lost to the Cloud Ninja Village? Did the Cloud Ninja Village win?”
As long as we do not admit defeat, your Cloud Ninja Village is not the winner. If you have the guts, come to the Land of Earth.
As for negotiations and war reparations, it is even more nonsense.
My Rock Ninja Village did not lose, what is there to negotiate?
Tactical retreat is also considered a defeat?
Since it is not a defeat, why do we have to negotiate and pay war reparations?
At this point, Ohnoki didn’t mind putting his old face on the line and playing dirty. He could play dirty because no one in the Cloud Village admitted that the war was lost.
“Ahem!! Tsuchikage, such a tactical retreat will not have much impact, right?”
The Daimyo of the Land of Earth was shocked by Ohnoki’s words of tactical retreat.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems to make sense.
The war was initiated by our Rock Village to attack the Land of Lightning. Now that we are tactically retreating, it does not mean that we have lost.
It is just a tactical requirement. Why bother to stay on the battlefield of the Land of Lightning?
Ohnoki’s tactical retreat is tenable.
As long as the Cloud Village does not admit defeat, there will be no winner in this war. What negotiations and compensation, dream away.
Ohnoki answered affirmatively: “Although it will bring some adverse effects to the village, the Cloud Village is not the winner. We are not glorious, and the Cloud Village is not much better.”
“Because they dare not attack the Land of Earth casually.”
Ohnoki is sure of this.
The Rock Village can’t bear it, and the Cloud Village can’t bear it either.
Running so far to attack the Land of Earth, the logistics alone are enough for the Cloud Village to enjoy. Before, it was our Rock Village that had a headache, and now it’s your turn.
Ohnoki is not afraid of the Cloud Village attacking. At worst, he will do nothing and fly in the sky all day, intercepting the logistics and transportation team of the Cloud Village everywhere.
It depends on how you, the Cloud Village, fight.
“Ahem!!!”
Although it felt a bit embarrassing, it was a reasonable reason. The daimyo who found the steps decisively chose to support Ohnoki, but he was a little worried:
“Tsuchikage, even if the village chooses a tactical retreat, it can’t stop everyone’s mouths. There is also the Jinchūriki, Old Purple………”
If the Rock Village wants to make a tactical retreat, in addition to appeasing the villagers, it needs to find another way to solve the problem of Old Purple.
If the tailed beast really falls into the hands of the Cloud Village and becomes the property of the Cloud Village, then the Rock Village will suffer a great loss.
Although the tactical retreat is embarrassing, at least the Cloud Village did not get any benefits, and the shame is shared by both sides. This is nothing. If the tailed beast is gone, then the Rock Village will really become a joke.
“I don’t know whether Old Purple can return to the village, but the Four-Tails will definitely not fall into the hands of the Cloud Village.”
Onoki looked at everyone and reminded them:
“Even if the Cloud Village wants to take the Four-Tails for itself, other villages will not agree. The Mizukage of the Mist Village and the Wind Kage of the Sand Village have already contacted me.”
“They will oppose the Cloud Village’s taking the tailed beast for itself on behalf of the village. I believe Konoha will not agree to the Cloud Village doing this. Konoha did not contact me simply because they did not want to stab their allies.”
“If the situation really reaches the point where the Cloud Village wants to force the tailed beast to stay, Konoha will stand up and oppose it.”
In a situation of four to one, can your Cloud Village force the Four-Tails to stay in the village?
“But…what price do we have to pay to get the support of other villages?”
Your Rock Village also needs to pay a price for others to help you stand up.
No one will help you for no reason. Even if everyone does not want the Four-Tails to settle down in the Cloud Village, can your Rock Village afford this price?
It is easy to talk to the Sand Village and the Mist Village, but what about Konoha.
It is not easy to get Konoha to stand up and oppose its allies.
