As Iwagakure retreated, Sunagakure also learned of Kumogakure's defeat, the death of the Fourth Raikage, and the capture of Yugito.
At this time, they were also discussing what to do.
"Damn it, Kumogakure is so useless! The war just started, and they're already defeated!"
"This makes our Sunagakure's position very awkward!"
After venting his frustration, Rasa continued to ask: "Everyone, speak up. Should we continue to attack, or retreat?"
To retreat directly, to be honest, Rasa was unwilling.
After all, in the future, there would probably never be such a good opportunity to attack Konoha again.
But if they didn't retreat, Rasa was afraid that if they continued to entangle, Uchiha Shin would come directly from the northeast to the southwest and make Sunagakure suffer the same fate as Kumogakure.
At this moment, Rasa was very conflicted.
Hearing Rasa's words, the Sunagakure ninja looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"At this time, Iwagakure should have also received the news of Kumogakure's defeat. What do you think Onoki and the others will do after learning of Kumogakure's defeat?"
At this moment, Granny Chiyo said.
"They will probably retreat!!"
A Jonin said uncertainly.
"Iwagakure's strength is not as good as Kumogakure's. They have always been suppressed by Kumogakure. Now that they know Kumogakure was defeated by Konoha, and even the Fourth Raikage died in battle, they probably won't dare to continue attacking Konoha!"
Another Jonin said.
"Uchiha Shin is too strong! And he's not alone, he can also create a Susanoo legion."
"Although our three villages are said to be besieging Konoha together, in reality, we are fighting on our own."
"Now that Kumogakure is defeated, the siege is no longer there. If we still don't know when to advance and when to retreat, we will probably have to face Uchiha Shin's head-on attack next! In a one-on-one fight, none of our ninja villages are a match for Konoha under Uchiha Shin's leadership!"
"..."
After hearing the analysis of the Jonin, Rasa immediately knew what to do!
"In that case, let's retreat!"
"Yes!!"
The Sunagakure ninja responded in unison, going with the flow.
Just like Iwagakure, after making the decision, they retreated as quickly as the tide!!
Kikyo Mountain!
Kakashi and the others received the news of Sunagakure's retreat at the first instance!
While surprised, everyone couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief!
"Kakashi, congratulations on leading us to repel Sunagakure! This is a great achievement!"
Guy gave Kakashi a thumbs-up, a gleam flashing from his teeth.
During the night of the clan's extermination, Guy was not in Konoha.
When Uchiha Shin went to fight Danzo, he had not yet returned.
The moment Uchiha Shin led the army out of Konoha, he returned, perfectly avoiding the war of the clan's extermination and the war to annihilate Danzo.
But he happened to catch Sunagakure's invasion and followed Kakashi to Kikyo Mountain.
In yesterday's battle, Guy opened the Seventh Gate and held off Rasa and other top-tier combatants from Sunagakure, making a big show of himself and also earning great merit.
It can be seen that he is a lucky person!!
Kakashi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Guy, you're flattering me. Sunagakure's retreat is not my credit."
"It should be that the Fifth's side won a great victory, and after Sunagakure received the news, they chose to retreat!!"
"Is that so!!"
Guy held his chin and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out what kind of great victory Uchiha Shin had won to make Sunagakure retreat.
So he simply stopped thinking about it and smiled at Kakashi: "It doesn't matter. As long as Sunagakure has retreated, that's all that matters."
"That's true!!"
Kakashi smiled relaxedly.
God knows how much pressure he had been under these past two days, afraid of messing things up and letting Sunagakure invade the Land of Fire.
At that time, he would truly be unable to shirk his responsibility!
But now it was alright.
Sunagakure had retreated, and he could finally relax.
In the end, he had not failed the Fifth's trust and had successfully defended Kikyo Mountain!
...
At this time, Uchiha Shin was leading two thousand ninja on their way to the northwest.
Suddenly, an Anbu ninja walked up to Uchiha Inaho and whispered a few words in her ear.
Uchiha Inaho's expression instantly became extremely colorful.
Then, Uchiha Inaho hurried to Uchiha Shin and reported what the Anbu ninja had told her.
"Lord Fifth, Iwagakure and Sunagakure have retreated!!"
Uchiha Inaho said.
"Eh??"
Uchiha Shin was stunned and stopped.
"Are you sure??"
"I'm sure!"
Uchiha Inaho nodded.
Uchiha Shin burst out laughing.
"They are quite decisive!!"
"After all, Lord Fifth, your battle record is too terrifying!"
Uchiha Inaho said with a smile.
In one battle, he killed the Fourth Raikage and captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.
His shadow clones even drove thousands of Kumogakure ninja out of the Land of Fire.
It would be strange if Iwagakure and Sunagakure weren't scared.
After all, Kumogakure was the second strongest military village, second only to Konoha, and had even forced Konoha to submit several times.
Even a strong village like Kumogakure was dealt with like this by Konoha.
How could they fare any better!
If they didn't run, wouldn't they be following in Kumogakure's footsteps!
"Hmph, the feud has already been established. Do they think I won't pursue it just because they've retreated?"
"Let them be free for a while. After some time, when we can spare the hands, we'll slowly deal with them!"
Uchiha Shin sneered.
Then he turned to the two thousand ninja behind him and announced loudly: "Iwagakure and Sunagakure have retreated!! The whole army will rest here for an hour. In an hour, we will turn back to the Capital of the Land of Fire!!"
"ROAR..."
Hearing this, the ninja couldn't help but cheer!!
Seeing this, Uchiha Shin also smiled.
Then, he said to Uchiha Inaho: "Inaho, inform the northwest to have Hiashi command a thousand ninja to continue guarding the border, and have Shikaku lead the rest of the ninja back to the Capital of the Land of Fire!
Inform the southwest to have Kakashi leave a thousand men to continue guarding Kikyo Mountain, and lead the rest of the ninja back to Konoha!"
"Although the external enemies have retreated, we have not completely solved the internal problems!"
"Next, we still need to use our forces internally!"
Uchiha Shin said.
"Understood!"
Uchiha Inaho responded and quickly left!!
On the border of the Land of Lightning, Kumogakure had also received the news of Iwagakure and Sunagakure's retreat.
"Sigh, we failed!"
"There's no chance anymore!"
"It seems we can only obediently ransom the body of Lord Fourth!"
At this moment, Kumogakure completely let go of the last shred of illusion in their hearts
