Chapter 228: A Great Victory and a Disastrous Victory!
"Earth Release - Earth Flow Wave!"
"Water Release - Wild Water Wave!"
The ground shattered into countless fine sand, and like a tide, it delayed Kumogakure's retreat. A large amount of water gushed down from the sky.
The hard ground instantly turned into a muddy swamp!
A large number of Kumogakure Ninjas were trapped inside, making it difficult for them to move. Although they did not cause any casualties, every Kumogakure Ninja who was trapped had a look of fear on their faces.
At this moment, the combat unit that had accumulated countless flames of anger in their chests finally launched a ruthless slaughter!
"Fire Release - Flame Attack!"
"Wind Release - Wind Explosion!"
...
"Water Release - Water Dragon Bullet!"
"Lightning Release - Lightning Ball!"
...
One after another, Konoha's combat unit formed a group of combinations of ninjutsu, and as if they didn't want money, they threw them towards the chaotic crowd of Kumogakure!
Without exhausting the last bit of chakra, they would never stop!
They wanted to find the resentment in their hearts, they wanted to take revenge for their dead companions!
And at this time, the importance of Mikawa appeared. Under his precise wave of his finger, these bloodthirsty members of combat unit unexpectedly didn't make any reckless moves, but in an orderly manner, they launched a dimensional attack on the defeated Kumogakure.
From beginning to end, Mikawa only said one sentence to them, "If you want to kill more enemies, listen to my command!"
A talent like this was really rare and precious.
Mikawa could be considered to have made a lot of preparations. After all, only Shikaku would give them such a large amount of authority to give the entire combat unit to him to command.
Everyone in Mikawa's class seemed to glow and heat up.
Seeing all of this, Shikaku couldn't help but feel very emotional. Then, for some reason, he thought of the little guy he hadn't seen in a long time in his family.
"Maybe when their generation grows up, Konoha will welcome a new prosperity."
The overall situation was set!
Not only did Shikaku make such a judgment, but even the chief commander of Kumogakure's side, Dodai, knew that their Kumogakure's momentum was gone.
Their last counterattack was just to scare Konoha away and then find a safe retreat situation.
However, they did not expect that the other party was also a madman. He would rather sacrifice more people to resist their crazy attack.
When Akamichi Clan fell from the sky with the determination to die and smashed into their front line, Dodai knew that this defeat had been decided.
So, after killing these people of Akamich Clan, he immediately gave the order to retreat without hesitation and cruelly left a force to cover the retreat, buying time for the others to evacuate.
However, the other side seemed to have expected that he would do this, and simply ignored those abandoned people.
They directly mobilized the combat unit for a long time, and began to launch an all-round long-range attack on them.
It was also at this time that Dodai finally reacted.
It turned out that the enemy's combat unit didn't use up its chakra, but kept its chakra and waited to beat the dog that fell!
Everything was within the opponent's calculations.
Looking at his fellow countrymen who were mercilessly slaughtered like pigs and dogs on the battlefield, his heart felt like it was bleeding.
With a poof, the furious Dodai directly vomited blood.
"Dodai-sama!"
"I'm fine. Quick, let the second close-combat team stay behind to cover the rear. Everyone else, withdraw from the battlefield immediately. If this continues, Kumogakure's future will be ruined here!"
Dodai swallowed the blood in his mouth. This time, he lost, and he lost without any strength to fight back.
However, Kumogakure had not been completely defeated. He could not let Kumogakure's future be ruined here.
Therefore, under the choice of a strong man with a broken wrist, Kumogakure, who had a death wish, immediately turned around and launched a death charge towards Konoha's combat unit!
Even if they had to use their own lives, they had to stop these executioners from continuing to slaughter their compatriots who no longer had any power to resist.
There was no right or wrong in the war, only the difference in position.
Konoha's people could not fear sacrifice and buy time for victory.
Then Kumogakure's people could also use their lives to fight for an opportunity for others to withdraw from the battlefield!
These people released an astonishing destructive power in the absolute death zone. Even if their bodies were filled with Kunai and Shuriken, they still wanted to rush into Konoha's combat unit to create chaos.
As for the other Konoha Ninjas around, they were completely ignored by them!
Under this kind of death charge, Konoha's combat unit immediately faced a difficult challenge. Even after several people rushed in, their bodies were actually covered with exploding talismans, and they were playing with human bombs.
Although Kumogakure's second close-combat unit was quickly destroyed with a high death rate.
However, it did buy enough time for the others to evacuate.
When the second and third forces were all killed, Shikaku didn't give the order to continue the pursuit. Instead, he gave the order to treat the wounded immediately and clean up the battlefield.
As the saying goes, don't chase the poor. The people who escaped from Kumogakure also had the strength to fight to the death.
In addition, they also suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and almost everyone was injured. Even combat unit had already used up all their chakra, and it was impossible to kill all the enemies.
They were the ones who had been forced into a corner.
The current situation was also part of Shikaku's plan. He was looking forward to the moment these Kumogakure's people finally escaped back to the camp. When they found out that the place they lived and the food they used were gone, what kind of despairing expression they would have!
It was not that Shikaku was too ruthless, but that he sympathized with the enemy and was not responsible for his own people!
Since the war had to be fought, why not let more enemies die?
After experiencing so many battles, Shikaku had indeed grown into a qualified commander.
This was a great victory, and also a tragic victory!
However, it was not without good news. At least, Akamichi Choza, who had persisted until Kumogakure gave the order to retreat, survived stubbornly.
Although he was severely injured, as long as he was alive, it was fine.
When Shikaku saw the heavily injured and unconscious Akimichi Choza, he was almost dispirited.
As for the other three clansmen who followed Akimichi Choza to attack Kumogakure's front line, they were not so lucky. Only two of them had their corpses intact, and the last one had barely found a part of his body.
By rough estimation, Konoha had lost at least a thousand people in this battle. It could be seen how tragic it was!
And the corpses left behind by Kumogakure were obviously more!
If nothing unexpected happened, the war would end soon.
But would Raikage, who was far away from Land of Lightning, accept such a result?
Shikaku was shaken for a moment, and then he immediately revealed a firm gaze.
Although Konoha was a Ninja Village seeking peace, if Kumogakure's people were unwilling to give up, then he was willing to accompany them!
