Chapter 204 News
"According to the latest intelligence from the headquarters, the Sand Village seems to have temporarily suspended its offensive against the Iwagakure Village due to logistical issues."

"The Iwagakure Village took action?"

someone asked.

Nara Surabaya shook his head.

Seeing this, everyone looked puzzled: "Besides the Iwagakure Village, who else would be interested in the Iwagakure Village's logistics system?"

“No one did anything.”

Nara Sishui replied.

"What do you mean?"

Everyone is puzzled.

Nara Sishui patiently explained: "It means exactly what it says. No one has done anything to the Iwagakure's logistics system. They just couldn't hold on any longer.

Not to mention the attack against the Iwagakure Village, even the Sand Village has slowed down its offensive on the western defense line that has been fighting us fiercely for some time.

I am afraid.
The Sand Village really can't sustain this war."

"what?"

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked and couldn't believe it deep down.

It was hard for them to imagine that one of the five major ninja villages would lose the war due to logistical problems.

Although wars are fought with logistics, unlike wars between ordinary people, the most important factor determining the outcome in a war between ninjas is whether or not they have enough troops.

As for logistics
Although equally important, it was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.

If they have sufficient troops, even if the logistics are cut off, they can still plunder supplies from the enemy's territory by fighting to support the war.

Logistics only become a real problem when one’s own military strength is insufficient.

But the problem is that the Sand Village now has a lot of reserve troops.

Although the Sand Village has the fewest troops among the five major ninja villages, because of its high average combat power and the presence of puppet masters, the Sand Village suffered the fewest casualties in the wars of the past two years.

So, relatively speaking, their reserve forces are still sufficient.

In this case, logistical issues can still be the key factor affecting the decision-making of the Sand Village, so there is only one possibility.

That is, the logistics of the Sand Village could not be any worse, and eventually the quantitative change led to a qualitative change, which became a key link in the decision-making of the Sand Village.

Being able to be promoted to the rank of Jonin, everyone present was not a fool and they quickly figured this out.

But Qingming thought further.

If the logistics of Sand Village are really this bad, then...
Afterwards, in order to reach a reconciliation with the Hidden Mist Village, the hero who betrayed the village, Shokuton: Hagura, was not simply Rasa eliminating dissidents, but the Hidden Mist Village really could not fight any further and had to agree to the Hidden Mist Village's request.

There is one thing that can prove this from the side.

That was when the "Ino, Deer, and Chou" trio represented Konoha and submitted a peace contract to the Iwagakure Village at the border of the three countries.

As a result, some hawkish Iwashi Ninjas did not want to stop the war and prepared to sabotage it.

At this moment, Luo Sha suddenly appeared with his men, saying that this was also the territory of the Wind Country and they could not just watch them fight. This prevented the Rock Ninjas from succeeding.

In the end, the Iwagakure Village and the Konohagakure Village successfully concluded a peace agreement.

From this we can see that the Sand Village is the one among the major ninja villages that most wants to end the war, otherwise he would not have meddled in other people's business.

The more Qing Ming thought about it, the more it made sense.

It was the first time since he traveled through time that he realized the war was so close to ending.

However, the darkness before dawn is often the real darkness, and the calm before the storm is not the real calm.

If the war wants to end, it will not end without the outbreak of several tragic wars. Therefore, it is too early to talk about the end of the war now.

Concentrating his mind, Qingming ignored the others and looked at Nara Sishui, asking: "Even if the Sand Village slows down its offensive, isn't there still the Cloud Village?

Shouldn't Iwagakure Village send people there first?"

After hearing this, everyone came to their senses and thought to themselves, “Yeah, compared to the crazy offensive of the Hidden Cloud Village, what are they?
I'm afraid I don't even have the qualifications to be taken seriously by the other party.

In this case, even if the Hidden Rock Village had the strength to spare, it should have targeted the Hidden Cloud Village. Why did it suddenly attack them?"

Everyone looked at Nara Surabaya, waiting for his explanation.

Seeing this, Nara Sishui said helplessly: "According to the latest information, the competition for the Fourth Raikage candidate in the Hidden Cloud Village has entered a white-hot stage.

Right now, the frontline troops of the Hidden Cloud Village have no intention of fighting, and the war with the Hidden Rock Village has almost stopped. "

When everyone heard this, they were speechless. At the same time, they also understood why the Iwagakure Village had targeted them.

Maybe it's not just them, but the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Sure enough, Nara Sishui continued, "Ten minutes ago, the headquarters just received news that it was not only our base that was attacked, but also several other bases.

Now, some strongholds are still holding, while some have already fallen.”

Upon hearing this, a jonin sighed and said, "It seems that the Iwagakure Village wants us to give up all the gains we have made in the past month!"

Indeed, over the past month, they took advantage of the fact that the Iwagakure Village was unable to respond in time to launch an offensive and seized a large piece of Iwagakure Village's territory.

Now, the Iwagakure Village freed up its hands and immediately launched an attack on them. The intention was too obvious to be true.

“If you ask me, we can actually give up the territory. Although the counterattack organized by the headquarters did not achieve all the goals, the results are still good.

Now, we can retreat to our previous base, and wait for the Iwagakure to attack."

Someone said so.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, someone agreed, "I think so too. There is another advantage to retreating, which is that supplies are closer.

To be honest, after learning that the Sand Village had to slow down its offensive due to logistical problems, I became a little worried about our logistics.

If the Rock Ninja bypasses our base and cuts off the supply line to the rear, we will be in big trouble.

Don't forget, this is their territory. They know exactly where they can go and where they can't go.

In this way, it is not difficult to hide from our surveillance.

So, I also think we can withdraw first.”

Where there are those who agree, there will naturally be those who oppose.

For a moment, the conference room was as lively as a vegetable market.

Finally, it was Nara Surabaya who spoke up: “Let’s stop here!

It is not your turn or mine to worry about these things. The strategic adjustments will be considered by the Third Generation and Orochimaru. We just need to do our own thing. "

After hearing this, everyone stopped talking and talked to each other for a while. After Nara Surabaya announced the end of the meeting, everyone got up and left.

After walking out of the meeting room, Qing Ming ignored everyone else and used the "Telekinesis Technique" to disappear from the spot.

When everyone saw this, they looked at each other, wondering why Qingming was so anxious.

What?
Of course it’s cultivation.

Today's training plan has not been completed yet, and Qingming has no intention of wasting time on it.
