Soon, all the Kumo shinobi perished with the cooperation of Orochimaru and Yoru.
"Yoru-Kun's technique is quite interesting, but without the cooperation of the Sharingan, ordinary people won't be able to control it at all." Orochimaru with his vast array of knowledge can easily identify the key points of the technique.
"Even if there is the Sharingan, you can only reach the prerequisite for learning the technique. That's why I said it is not a big deal to show you the technique. Because I am the only one who can use it." Yoru smiled and told the truth.
Moreover, what he hasn't said is that the seven orbs were made from the darkness he had brought with him.
"Let's go to the next place."
"No problem."
Orochimaru swallowed all the corpses here with snakes and then left the place with Yoru. In the following battlefield, their cooperation became more and more tacit. Orochimaru used his ninjutsu to cover a large area, and Yoru swiftly ended the lives of others one by one.
After several days of fighting, Kumo's main force was hit hard. During the period, there was also a tailed beast battle, a battle between Konoha's nine tails and Kumo's eight tails. The battle had reduced the plain battlefield into rubbles and consumed the lives of many shinobi.
However, Konoha's side was victorious anyway. However before Konoha was happy for too long, they got the news that the Iwanin took the opportunity through their first line. The ninjas that had been stationed to give the illusion of a stronghold were quickly demolished by the fierce attack.
Now that Iwanin had occupied the favorable terrain, they are also ready to march on Konoha.
At the same time, as if there was a tacit understanding, Mist ninja attacked at the same time. The battle lines on both sides were broken at the same time, but the main force of the Kiri shinobi, the seven swordsmen were pushed back by an unknown genin who used the eight gates to kill half of the seven swordsmen, making them unable to temporarily move forward.
Inside a tent, the third Hokage talked about what happened and began to discuss countermeasures.
"Sarutobi, Uchiha's plan had been problematic from the very beginning, and I have long said that it should not be adopted." Danzo closed his eyes and began to hold him accountable.
Everyone's eyes then converged on the person who made the plan, Yoru.
While it is true that the plan was faulty from the beginning, seeing that Danzo wanted to mess with him then don't blame him for being ruthless.
"I don't think there is any problem with my strategy. The problem is someone disclosed my strategy. Otherwise, under the previous situation, the two nations will not have such a level of tacit understanding and move at the same time."
"Do you mean there is an imposter among us?" Hiruzen understood what Yoru wanted to imply.
"I am not sure but the probability of there being a spy is higher. I was ambushed by Raikage when Shisui and I were completing the plan before. I don't think it was an accidental situation. Especially, since I had learned from the Raikage that he had received some news." Yoru continued to talk about his previous mission.
Since everyone had been briefed on the mission before, they had nothing to refute. In fact, from the previous point of view, Yoru's plan was fine. But they don't know who leaked the plan and caused changes on both sides. Moreover, this incident didn't have anything to do with the plan made by Yoru.
The most important thing right now is that the plan was leaked.
Some of them couldn't help but look at Danzo. Danzo's previous record was not exactly stellar so he was the one who was the most suspicious.
"..." Danzo closed his eyes and continued to look calm.
He wasn't going to respond. As long as he doesn't admit to it, other people couldn't do anything about it. Moreover, this time while he was the one who informed Raikage about the mission that Yoru and Shisui were doing, the movement of the other two nations had nothing to do with him.
"Lord Hokage, I have something unpleasant to say, I don't know if I should say it?" Yoru smiled and looked at Sarutobi.
"Continue."
"When Shisui and I were ambushed before, it was proved that the news had been leaked. At that time, we should have considered the possible changes in Iwanin and Kirinin. Moreover, after learning that the news had been leaked, without investigating the leak, arranging the battle was reckless. Similarly, instead of concentrating a group of elite ninjas to defeat the enemy in one sweep, letting out the tailed beast appear on the battlefield made it impossible to end the battle in a short time."
After Yoru finished speaking, Danzo couldn't sit still. If he did not speak up now, then eventually, the leaked news may be traced back to him and he may miss the chance of becoming Hokage forever.
"Are you accusing the Hokage of ineffective command, kid?" Danzo said sternly, staring at Yoru.
You said it not me...
"No. I just want o say that the most important thing right now is to find a solution instead of blaming each other. As for who is at fault, these should be considered after the war is over. Everything, we have done will be in vain unless we solve the problem at hand."
Yoru's words at the time were recognized by most people.
