Fuguki Suikazan Is Still A Smart Guy!

After traveling day and night, Shiratori and the others finally arrived at the southeast camp and met Chōza's team, who had just arrived in front of the camp gate.

There was no time to rest. After handing over the captured Kirigakure Jōnin to the interrogators, Torifu Akimichi, who had learned the news, immediately called everyone over.

In the big tent.

Shibi replaced Suiten's position as leader and, together with Choza, reported to Torifu what happened on the way.

Shiratori was just listening casually, his eyes stayed on Torifu's funny fat face for a moment, and then he was attracted by the young man standing behind Torifu.

Uchiha Shisui noticed the gaze and gave Shiratori a gentle smile.

He has to say that Shisui's smile is so contagious. Coupled with his kind personality and handsome face, it makes people subconsciously like him.

But just like his father Kagami Uchiha, they are all the outliers among the Uchiha. They have a lukewarm relationship with their clan members but are very close to the top leaders of Konoha.

So, normally, old man Setsuna would never take the initiative to talk about Shisui. Even if Shiratori asked about it, he would just say a few perfunctory words.

Not only Setsuna but other elders in the clan would often praise Shiratori and call him the hope for the family's revival but would selectively ignore Shisui, the genius who became famous earlier.

In their opinion, Shisui could be the bond between the family and the village, but becoming the head of the family… There was not even the slightest possibility of that happening.

Shisui was also looking at Shiratori.

He had long heard that there was a genius in the clan who was comparable to or even surpassed himself. Seeing him today was truly an eye-opener.

Especially since Shiratori has three masks of the Village Hidden in the Mist assassination force hanging around his waist, and according to senior Shibi's narration, he has a record of killing Kirigakure ninjas head-on alone, which shows that Shiratori is indeed worthy of the name.

Those who can join the assassination team are the most elite ninjas in Village Hidden in the Mist, even if they are only Chunin.

Even if Konoha's special Jōnin faced them head-on, it would take some effort to win.

"It's a pity… He is the successor trained by Setsuna Uchiha."

Shisui felt a little regretful, knowing that he and Shiratori could never be the same kind of people.

"Shiratori."

Shiratori suddenly heard someone calling him, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Torifu's smiling face.

"I'm terribly sorry!"

There is nothing worse than being caught distracted during a meeting by a senior leader…

"Haha, it's okay. I'm a good friend of your grandfather, and I've heard him mention you many times." 

Torifu looked at Shiratori and liked him more and more, like an elder looking at a younger generation at home. 

"I heard Shibi talk about the battle process. It's very good! From today on, you are a Chunin."

"Uh… Senior Torifu, it's just a simple decision. Is that ok?"

Shiratori was mentally prepared to become a Chunin but didn't the appointment of a Chunin require the approval of the Hokage?

"It's wartime now. As the supreme commander on the front line, I still have this authority. I just need to report it to Hiruzen as a formality… Shisui."

"Yes."

"Notify all Jōnin in the camp to hold a combat meeting in ten minutes."

"Understood." 

Shisui walked away quickly.

With the arrival of the three elite Jōnin, Shibi, Choza, and Suiten, ​​Torifu finally felt a little confident. It was time to determine the next battle plan.

It's a pity that Takeshi Hyuga, an elite Jōnin from the Hyuga clan, is most likely dead. He must send someone to look for him immediately after the meeting… He hopes his Byakugan doesn't fall into the hands of the enemy.

Ten minutes later.

All the Jonin in the southeast camp were crowded in the big tent. At this moment, their eyes were dull, and their faces were full of disbelief.

They were… Abandoned?

"Torifu-sama, is it true that there are no reinforcements?"

"Why? Even if they prioritize dealing with Hidden Cloud Village, they can't just leave Village Hidden in the Mist alone!"

"We only have 2,000 ninjas. We have lost hundreds of people in the previous attacks, and countless others were injured. The Village Hidden in the Mist has dispatched 8,000 ninjas, led by five Ninja Swordsmen…"

"Damn it! In the eyes of the village, is our southeast camp just an insignificant victim?!"

"Us..."

"Shut up!"

Seeing that the conversation among the crowd was gradually heading in a dangerous direction, Torifu slammed the table he had just repaired with a fierce palm and broke it again, barely suppressing the voices of the crowd.

"The situation has not yet reached its most dangerous point, so please stay calm."

Toukou signaled the ninjas standing in the front row to make way, then spread a map on the ground.

"It's true that we won't get any reinforcements, but the Village Hidden in the Mist… They don't know!"

Torifu pointed at the Land of Waves, which was isolated on the sea, and said in a deep voice: "The Village Hidden in the Mist has retreated to the Land of Waves and set up camp. It seems that they will not attack again in the short term. Why?"

Everyone fell into deep thought. After a moment, Shibi Aburame, who was standing in the first row, suddenly realized: "They are afraid of our counterattack, especially the counterattack after the reinforcements arrive! They… Don't want to be the first..."

"That's right!"

The Village Hidden in the Mist's idea is very simple; they just don't want to be the first to stick their heads out!

Although it was besieged by the four countries, Konoha's strength was enough to dominate the Shinobi World. The Village Hidden in the Mist was the first and only enemy to reach the Land of Fire's homeland, and it would most likely be given special attention by Konoha.

The commander of Village Hidden in the Mist is a smart man. He set the containment tone for Village Hidden in the Mist's attack from the very beginning. He only needed to contain Konoha's large number of troops in the southeast direction and leave the rest to the other three countries to fight hard. He would never be stupid enough to be the first to take action.

There are two considerations for withdrawing from the Land of Fire and stationing in the Land of Water:

First, when the reinforcements from Konoha arrive, they will definitely counterattack the Village Hidden in the Mist troops that have landed. The Village Hidden in the Mist commander does not think that he can withstand the opponent's anger on Konoha's home ground.

Second, the Land of Waves is an island surrounded by an endless ocean. Compared with the forests of the Land of Fire, the ocean is undoubtedly more suitable for the performance of the Kirigakure ninja. Using the Land of Waves as a battlefield to resist Konoha is the best choice.

"Hey-hey--"

Seeing the extremely incongruous smirk on the honest face of their commander, all the Jōnin present couldn't help but shudder.

Torifu thought of more… Things might become more interesting when Village Hidden in the Mist learns that the Raikage was ambushed and the Kazekage is missing!

If the Raikage dies, Hidden Cloud Village will inevitably fall into a certain degree of chaos; if the Kazekage disappears, the internal situation of Village Hidden in the Sand will not be too good; plus, the Village Hidden in the Stones who has formed an alliance with Konoha to pit Hidden Cloud Village together…

By then, will Konoha, which has freed up its hands, concentrate its forces to give a severe blow to the Village Hidden in the Mist that comes out and jumps around?

With the intelligence of the Village Hidden in the Mist commander, he would definitely have thought of this.

By then, don't let Village Hidden in the Mist abandon the Land of Waves and retreat to the Land of Water overnight…

That would be interesting.

Of course, the premise of all this is that before the news that Konoha will concentrate its main forces on attacking Hidden Cloud Village reaches Village Hidden in the Mist, the fact that there will be no reinforcements for the southeast camp must be covered up.
