Chapter 558 Luo Sha Died
"What?!" Luo Sha was instantly furious and yelled, "Orochimaru you bastard!"
I really don't even want to pretend!
While cursing, Luo Sha performed a ninjutsu: "Golden Sand Waves!"
After performing the ninjutsu, Rasa turned around and ran outside. The ninjutsu could only temporarily stop the Third Hokage and Uchiha Shisui, creating an opportunity for him to escape.
The Sandaime and Shisui would let Orochimaru go because of his departure, but they would not do that to Rasa.
Luo Sha, who had already seen through the truth, naturally knew it as well.
However, just as Luo Sha was about to use the Sand Instant Technique to dodge, a terrifying chakra wave suddenly came from behind him.
At the same time, there was a sharp shout: "Moonlight Blade!"
An invisible blade cut through space and arrived in an instant.
Luo Sha felt his body suddenly become lighter, and then he fell to the ground weakly.
Moonlight Blade, one of the eye techniques awakened by Uchiha Shisui, is a spatial blade that can cut through different dimensions. It is extremely sharp. When Obito caused chaos in the Uchiha clan's territory, he was forced back by Shisui's move.
"So fast... Is this the eye technique of the Mangekyō Sharingan..."
Luo Sha muttered to himself, the light in his eyes growing dimmer.
He was completely cut in half below the chest, and he already understood what it meant to be powerless.
Farewell, my beloved, Sand Ninja...
Luo Sha looked up at the sky until the last bit of light in his eyes lost.
......
With Orochimaru's words "the plan failed", the situation in the entire Konoha Village, such a big battlefield, immediately changed drastically.
The Sound Ninja who were still assisting the Sand Ninja in the battle, after hearing Orochimaru's order, subconsciously withdrew from the battle and gathered together, trying to find a way to retreat!
Although these Sound Ninjas are just wandering ninjas temporarily recruited by Orochimaru and failed experiments, they are still loyal to Orochimaru due to his personal charm!
Naturally, they also strictly followed Orochimaru's orders.
"Guys from Otogakure, where are you going to escape to?!"
Seeing that the Sound Ninjas were about to retreat, Ye Cang immediately became anxious. He fired several fireballs to temporarily force Jiraiya back, and then rushed forward in one step.
"Sorry, Lord Orochimaru has ordered us to retreat!" said a leading Otonin in a deep voice.
"Damn it! Where's Kabuto Yakushi? Where is he?!" Ye Cang grabbed the collar of the Oto-nin in rage, "You Oto-nin dragged us Sand-nin into this, and now you want to leave without a care in the world?"
The Sound-nin didn't answer, but simply repeated, "We must obey the orders of Lord Orochimaru!"
Ye Cang glared at the Sound Ninja fiercely, but the Sound Ninja looked calm.
“Damn it!” Ye Cang slammed the Sound Ninja to the ground, forcibly suppressing his murderous intent: “Get out, get out right now!”
Reason told Ye Cang that it would be extremely stupid to start an internal conflict with this group of Sound Ninjas now.
The Sound Ninja ignored Ye Cang and turned away without any hesitation.
It is not so easy for this group of Sound Ninjas to retreat. After a long and fierce battle, they have suffered heavy losses. There are less than a thousand people left, and they are all injured. Konoha will not let them retreat so easily.
Away from this group of Sound Ninjas, Ye Cang's anger gradually subsided, and was replaced by a state of confusion.
Orochimaru said the plan failed and he had escaped, so what about Rasa?
Is Rosa still there?
Does Sunagakure want to continue fighting this war?
Ye Cang is not the only Sand Ninja who holds this idea.
The Sand Ninjas were so busy fighting that they had no time to think about this. But as time went on, such thoughts grew wildly in their hearts like weeds.
For a moment, the Sand Ninjas began to hesitate, and started to hold back in battle, and their morale dropped visibly.
On the other hand, the morale of Konoha instantly boosted after learning that Orochimaru had been defeated.
"The Sand Village has been defeated! Brothers, let's drive the Sand Ninja out of the village!" Jiraiya took the opportunity to shout.
"The Sand Village has been defeated! The Kazekage is dead! Brothers, work harder and don't let any Sand Ninja escape!"
Minato also shouted loudly, but his orders were slightly different from Jiraiya's.
Minato was very sure that Rasa was dead, and Orochimaru's shout was the signal.
Although Jiraiya has a very high reputation, the Konoha ninjas would definitely prefer to obey the orders of Minato, the Fourth Hokage.
Therefore, the ninjas in the village, under the command of their respective captains, began to form a siege around the Sand Ninja troops, and even the Sound Ninja who wanted to withdraw from Konoha were unable to escape.
Hearing Minato's order, Jiraiya frowned, and without paying any attention to Ye Cang who was a little dazed, he rushed straight towards Minato.
"Minato, aren't your orders too radical? There are quite a lot of Sand Ninjas here. If you cut off their chance of survival, they will inevitably fight back!"
"Teacher Jiraiya, you worry too much." Minato still respected Jiraiya very much: "Rasa is dead, Orochimaru has escaped, and these Sand Ninjas no longer have enough will to fight."
Minato is in a very good mood now. The situation is developing according to the script. During the fight with Chiyo, Minato has destroyed six of Chiyo's puppets, and Chiyo's defeat is inevitable.
More than a decade later, Minato was still in his prime, but Chiyo was older.
While Jiraiya was talking to Minato, Chiyo didn't think about attacking, but took the opportunity to catch her breath.
In Chiyo's mind, she has already guessed the outcome of this war. The reason why she is still fighting, in addition to dignity and unwillingness, is more importantly, that even if she surrenders, it must be valuable.
Just like in the original work, after the Konoha collapse plan failed, Sunagakure showed its value and was able to sign an alliance with Konoha again.
"Minato!" Jiraiya continued to persuade: "Since the Sand Ninja has lost the will to fight, then it would be better to force a landing. This way, we can gain more bargaining chips!"
Jiraiya didn't want to see too much sacrifice and killing, even if the targets were the Sand Ninjas who were trying to destroy Konoha.
Jiraiya was not a complete saint, but in his heart, he did not even have the option of taking revenge on the Sand Village and destroying it.
Jiraiya was of course ruthless to the enemies who invaded Konoha, but for the sake of long-term peace in the ninja world, he did not agree to carry out a large-scale siege and annihilation of the Sand Ninja here.
Minato looked at Jiraiya, thought about it, and decided to go along with Jiraiya's wishes for now.
"Teacher Jiraiya, how about this? You arrest Ye Cang, and I will soon deal with Chiyo. After we deal with them all, we can persuade the Sand Ninja to surrender. How about that?"
"As for these Sand Ninjas, they dared to join forces with Otogakure to try to destroy Konoha. As the Hokage, I naturally cannot let them escape so easily."
Seeing Minato's serious look, Jiraiya nodded and said, "Okay, once we capture Ye Cang and Chiyo, the Sand Ninja will have no choice but to surrender."
