Chapter 167 - Chapter 167: Land of Earth Front, Troubled Danzo!

Even so, it was always possible to collect some intelligence that couldn't be hidden.

Before Konoha's people arrived at the front line, intelligence had already reached the Third Mizukage's hands. Therefore, the Third Mizukage immediately chose to set up camp,

selecting an easily defensible and difficult-to-attack location to station, and then shrouded the surroundings in mist, slowly engaging in a war of attrition with Konoha.

Meanwhile, on the Land of Wind battlefield, Ronglin, who had achieved countless merits, was not regarded highly by the Third Mizukage, who believed that Ronglin's great reputation was solely due to the low strength of Sunagakure's ninja.

If Ronglin knew the Third Mizukage's thoughts, he would definitely laugh and ask him: "Wanna fight?"

Of course, not to engage in homosexual acts with the Third Mizukage, but to fight, to show him if he was truly unworthy of his reputation.

Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, I hope you won't disappoint me.

After making a series of arrangements, the Third Mizukage looked towards Konoha's position with continuous sneers, waiting for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to cut off all of Konoha's supply lines, slowly dismantling the Land of Fire.

He had confidence in the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, believing they could do it.

Just as Kirigakure was making a series of arrangements, within Konoha's position, Tsunade was also reviewing the related intelligence sent from the other two battlefields.

"Jiraiya and White Fang are doing well, slowly turning the tide. However, Danzo seems a bit useless. I was still hoping the Land of Earth front could break through."

Although they were severely ambushed on the Land of Wind battlefield, Jiraiya and White Fang both reviewed themselves and began to shift from offense to defense, slowly stabilizing their position.

After the village's reinforcements arrived, they slowly began to counterattack. Although it seemed lukewarm, this also fit the style of the two old men.

Surprisingly, even though the battle was lukewarm, and it seemed Konoha was always on the defensive without much advantage, the people of Sunagakure slowly realized that it wasn't lukewarm, but rather Konoha was slowly eroding everything.

When they finally reacted, they suddenly found that the advantage they had painstakingly built was gone, and the advantage had returned to Konoha's side.

During this period of lukewarm battle attrition, their side's losses were more severe than the opponent's, which made Chiyo and the Fourth Kazekage Rasa furious.

But no matter how they schemed and provoked, Jiraiya and White Fang maintained an indifferent attitude. If you wanted to be aggressive, I would just slowly wear you down, and we'll see who loses more in the end.

And so, bit by bit, Jiraiya and White Fang gradually gained the initiative, which made the Third Hokage breathe a sigh of relief. His biggest concern was a continuous defeat on the Land of Wind front!

The feared problem didn't materialize, but the most promising front, the Land of Earth front, had issues!

The Land of Water front would be difficult to fight; the Third Hokage had prepared himself for that early on. However, the Land of Earth front exceeded the Third Hokage's expectations.

On the battlefield, Danzo was completely flustered by Ōnoki, and Konoha was constantly on the defensive. The passive state here was a complete opposite of the Land of Wind battlefield.

Danzo had thought of other ways to turn the tide, but they were all foiled one by one. Even the vanguard plan was difficult to implement, and after a few special squads were wiped out shortly after deployment, Danzo settled down.

Orochimaru, typically, just did what he pleased, leaving the battle command to old man Danzo, not wanting to bother him.

"Among the three nations, Iwagakure's strength is the strongest, and with Ōnoki leading them, being on the defensive is expected. This passive state might last for a long time. If our side or the Land of Wind front cannot end early and provide support, the Land of Earth front will become the most arduous and costly front."

Shikaku Nara had foreseen these things and was mentally prepared.
