The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 614 Homecoming Watergate Tactics

"All civilians, please remain in the shelter and do not go out for the time being!"

Ye Cang shouted loudly, and then she issued a series of instructions in an orderly manner:

"Quickly tally the number of casualties... The remaining personnel immediately treat the wounded, and all genin must evacuate this area at once to guard against a possible counterattack from Konoha!"

At the same time, she also reminded everyone:

"Everyone must prepare ropes, nets, and other tools. The barrier team must also bring their sealing artifacts..."

The crowd first looked at Ye Cang, and then shifted their gaze to Luo Sha, who was standing to the side.

The difference between the two is strikingly obvious when compared in this way.

Luo Sha should have been a leader, but his performance in this battle was extremely disappointing, and his prestige naturally plummeted as a result.

However, Rasa seemed completely unconcerned about all of this. After all, he knew he was about to step down as Kazekage, and as long as he could save his life, everything else was insignificant.

However, deep down, he knew very well that Minato Namikaze's retreat was only temporary, and a greater crisis might be yet to come.

Once they have rested and recuperated, they will surely make a comeback.

At that moment, Rasa felt a chill in his heart. He suddenly realized that Sunagakure was simply no match for him.

Even worse, if this continues, Sunagakure will likely be dragged down and completely destroyed...

"...In this battle, our side suffered a total of 137 casualties!"

Rasa's gaze involuntarily turned to the ninja who had just gone to count the number of deaths.

He was solemnly reporting this chilling data to Ye Cang.

It should be noted that not much time has passed since the Watergate attack began, and in just a few minutes, more than a hundred people have already lost their lives.

On the other hand, the enemy's casualties were undoubtedly zero. This was simply because they could freely expend their vast amounts of chakra.

Once he felt tired, he would immediately use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape far away.

Without a doubt, once they have regained their strength and regrouped, they will be able to come back with renewed vigor.

"Lord Kazekage, what should we do now?"

A group of ninjas belonging to his faction were still gathered around Rasa, surrounding him.

They asked in unison, extremely anxious, hoping that Fengying could come up with a good plan to turn the situation around.

Luo Sha slowly looked around, only to be shocked to find that the elders had already slipped away in the chaos.

He couldn't help but grit his teeth inwardly, but he still took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging anxiety in his heart, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's increase vigilance for now, set up all the poison traps we've prepared, and then fight the enemy again!"

At this moment, Luo Sha was in a difficult situation. Since things had come to this, he had no choice but to take a gamble and try again to find a way out.

However, the Sand Village ninjas around them looked at each other in bewilderment, secretly wondering if Rasa had run out of tricks.

As everyone knows, "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days."

If the people of Konoha don't take the bait after they've carefully set up the trap, wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?

Even worse, what if the enemy doesn't attack from this direction at all...?

As the saying goes, what you fear most is what will happen. Just as they were making their preparations in full swing, a shocking message suddenly came from the barrier team.

—Minato Namikaze, Shisui Uchiha, and others actually took a detour from the sky to the north of Sunagakure and launched a massive bombardment of the buildings on the ground!

All that could be heard from afar was a series of deafening rumbling sounds.

Although this place was some distance from the scene of the incident, the loud noise could still be faintly heard by everyone.

In an instant, the entire Sand Village was plunged into panic.

Faced with such an urgent situation, Rasa had no choice but to lead his group of Sand Village ninjas in a hurried northwards under the watchful eyes of everyone.

When they finally arrived at their destination after overcoming numerous hardships, the sight before them left everyone speechless.

The village is now a scene of devastation, with ruins everywhere.

The instigator of all this disaster—Minato Namikaze—is now standing quietly amidst the chaos.

Minato Namikaze gave Rasa a cold smile without any expression, and then unleashed his signature ninjutsu without hesitation.

—The Flying Thunder God Technique vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Those Sand Village ninjas, exhausted and out of breath, finally managed to arrive at the scene.

Staring in the direction Minato had left, they were all dumbfounded, their faces filled with anger and helplessness.

Although the attack did not cause many casualties in Sunagakure.

However, the collapse of numerous buildings severely demoralized the Sand Village.

Upon hearing this news, Yecang, who was standing right where the battle had just taken place, felt a surge of panic and confusion.

Although she had handled the situation quite well, she was still no match for the enemy's strange and unexpected fighting style.

—They attack and run, making it impossible to predict where they will attack next. How should this battle continue?

For a moment, Yekura felt helpless. Left with no other option, she turned to the Sand Village ninja beside her and gave the order:

"Quickly go and consult Elder Hai Bizang, and ask him to decide on the next course of action!"

Meanwhile, not far from Sunagakure Village, a sand wall ruin stands quietly.

Many years ago, a large complex of buildings stood here, but the exact purpose and historical background of these buildings are now difficult to verify.

The only certainty is that they existed here long before the village of Sunagakure was established.

Today, this once magnificent architectural complex is reduced to ruins, becoming a landmark.

At this moment, the group from Konoha Village is resting and recuperating in these ruins.

Prior to this, they had successfully launched two attacks against Sunagakure.

After a brief respite, the group was planning their third attack.

It must be admitted that this tactic, which is jokingly referred to as the "homecoming watergate," is extremely shameless.

Although the members who participated in this operation were all highly skilled individuals.

However, apart from Minato Namikaze, who possesses the Nine-Tails.

The remaining people have limited chakra reserves.

Without Minato's unpredictable Flying Thunder God Technique as support, relying solely on the strength of the other team members would be insufficient.

Even if they are all highly skilled, if the Sand Village spares no effort to send a large number of people to besiege them, the Leaf Village will probably still be in trouble or even be completely wiped out.

However, as long as Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique exists, the situation is completely different.

During battle, if Minato and the others have consumed too much chakra or ninja tools, they can choose to retreat from the battlefield without hesitation.

As for when and where to launch a new offensive, that is entirely up to them.

The feeling of having the initiative in the battle firmly in one's hands is truly indescribable.
