Chapter 253 Half a Year of Preparation
Chapter 253 Half a Year of Preparation
Inside the rebuilt Kumogakure camp, the Raikage had a look of indignation on his face, his expression sometimes normal and sometimes ugly.
He had been tossing and turning these days, feeling uncomfortable all over when he thought of Kirigakure being defeated.
Of course, what bothered him was not Kirigakure, but the material transportation route, which was the most important thing. Other people were no different from ants.
The tent was opened and Killer Bee hurried in from outside. This was the Raikage's private tent, and only Killer Bee was qualified to come in directly.
"Brother, we don't have much supplies left!" Kirabi said sternly.
"This is really bad news." The Raikage said in a muffled voice. He had made this prediction since the defeat of the Kirigakure, and only three months have passed to today.
These three months felt like years to him, and he was in constant fear because he knew what the lack of supplies meant.
The Raikage looked at the strategic map drawn behind him, his eyes became uncertain, and his fists clenched in the repeated struggles in his heart.
Killer Bee stood silently by the side, waiting for the Raikage's order.
After a moment, the Raikage looked at the map, and suddenly fireworks rose in his eyes. A fighting spirit to fight to the death suddenly became stronger, like the final outburst of a hero in his twilight years.
His voice was deep and firm as he asked, "How long will it take for the supplies from the Daimyo to arrive?"
Upon hearing this, Kirabi estimated in his mind and then gave a specific number.
"Half a year. Without the sea route, the pressure on our supply line has increased dramatically. The materials provided by the daimyo need manpower to transport, which greatly increases the time. In the past, it only took two months at most!"
After hearing this, the Raikage's eyes twitched involuntarily, and his resentment towards Kirigakure for losing grew even stronger.
"He is incapable of doing anything good, but is more likely to cause trouble!" The Raikage cursed again, but it was only enough to satisfy his desire to talk, and had no other substantial effect.
After a burst of birdsong and flowers, the Raikage took a deep breath, his eyes fierce, and said to Killer Bee: "Before the supplies arrive, let's stop fighting and rest."
"Once all the supplies are in place, we will fight Konoha to the death. Kumogakure will never admit defeat!"
The Raikage's voice was sonorous and powerful, full of great determination.
Killer Bee seemed to want to say something, but when he saw the Raikage's expression, he swallowed his words back silently.
Looking at the Raikage who was still full of fighting spirit, Killer Bee sighed secretly: "Brother, if we continue to fight like this, I don't know if we can win the war."
"But the civilians in the Hidden Cloud Village are about to become disunited."
These were his inner thoughts, but he couldn't say them out loud. He could only watch anxiously.
The Raikage added: "Send someone to Iwagakure and tell them to attack together in half a year. This is the last chance."
At this point in the war, regardless of how Konoha Village is doing, the two villages of Kumogakure and Iwagakure are already unable to bear it.
The village's food reserves have been exhausted, and now they rely entirely on the support of the daimyo.
They were happy when fighting, but now it's a stalemate, making the two villages more anxious.
After all, they are different from Konoha, a completely independent village. Kumogakure and Iwagakure still have a huge mountain pressing down on them.
The battle is now stalemate and the fighting is fierce. It is impossible to retreat and we can only fight on.
The Raikage's remaining sanity told him that time was running out and the Daimyo was already getting impatient, so half a year would be the last chance.
If you win, everything is over; if you lose, you have nothing.
......
The Land of Thunder, a country founded on towering mountains, shrouded in clouds and filled with deafening thunder.
Thunder rumbles all day long, echoing through the sky. Due to geographical factors, the lifestyle of people here is quite different from that of other countries.
At this moment, in the magnificent building of the daimyo's mansion, a middle-aged man was sitting on the chair that symbolized the power of this country.
Below, people on both sides stood with their hands clasped in front of their heads. The atmosphere in the hall seemed a little heavy, but no one knew why.
The daimyo's sharp eyes swept across the crowd below, and his majestic voice echoed in the hall, making the already serious atmosphere even heavier, and everyone bowed their heads even more deeply.
"The battle ahead is at a stalemate, and Kirigakure is losing to Konoha. Do you have any ideas for reversing the situation?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an official came out and spoke, but his words made the officials present glare at him angrily.
"Sir, I think the Land of Lightning should not resist stubbornly and should not confront Konoha."
After he finished speaking, a large number of officials immediately came behind him to curse him.
"Ignorant bastard! When the country is in crisis, you are so cowardly. What is your intention?"
"Sir, this man must be a Konoha spy, he must not be let off easily!"
"My country of thunder never compromises, even now!"
All of a sudden, there were shouts of angry curses, all of which were red in the face. Several elderly people almost fainted.
Curses were heard one after another in the hall. The daimyo raised his eyes and looked coldly at the officials who advocated surrender, without any emotion in his eyes.
"Someone come here!" The cold voice of the daimyo sounded, and the noisy sound disappeared immediately, and it became terrifyingly quiet.
At the command, the guards guarding outside rushed in immediately, obeyed the orders and waited for instructions.
The daimyo's face was as cold as ice, and his aura was chilling, making people feel cold: "This man is afraid before the battle, take him away and execute him."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards immediately surrounded him and dragged him out, covering his mouth to prevent him from saying anything shocking.
After the aliens were cleared out, one could clearly feel that the atmosphere on the scene suddenly relaxed.
The Daimyo cleared his throat and then said, "War never ends without a reason. There is absolutely no room for easing between the Land of Lightning and Konoha."
After he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked at everyone like an eagle, and his tone became low.
"The supplies for Kumogakure must be gathered as quickly as possible. Regardless of the situation of the civilians below, they must be ready on time."
The people present looked calm and silently agreed with the daimyo's words, as if the civilians were like ants that could be crushed to death at any time.
They all understood that now was not the time to care about the lives of civilians.
If Kumogakure were defeated, the consequences would be the same as the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Fire, who would die without a burial place.
This alone is enough to make them work together to fight against foreign enemies.
When a group of people are divided, all it takes is a powerful external threat to make insignificant problems disappear.
Just like now, in order to deal with Konoha, everyone with different ideas has to unite together in order to seek a place for survival.
"Go and have someone tell the Raikage that no matter what method he uses, he must withstand the pressure."
"The Thunder Nation cannot afford to lose this war, and must not lose!"
"If Yunyin wants to continue, it must win, otherwise..."
The Daimyo paused, a sneer appeared on his lips: "Otherwise, the Hidden Cloud Village will disappear."
