Chapter 36 - Transferring (1/2)

It has been almost 3 months since we had annihilated Ebizo's force with pincer attacks.

Since then, we didn't have any big fights with Yudai's Suna force. The only conflicts we had were between just patrols and spies.

Basically, it has turned into the Cold war between the Iwa invasion force and the Suna defense force.

”Hey, Genji. It's been a while since we had any big fights with Suna force. Aren't we Invasion force, so why don't we invade Suna further?”

Gari got curious about why was the cold war happening and asked me.

'Lately, Gari is asking me a lot. Whenever he had a thing in his mind, he just come straight ask me.

Does he think I am his Wikipedia or what?

Well, I appreciate that he thinks I know everything, but he should keep it down a little.'

”Just because we are invasion force, we don't necessarily attack Suna all the time.

Currently, there is Yudai's 2000 force obstructing our 1600 force. It will be very challenging to defeat them with our shorter force.

Even if we defeat them with little losses, there are still 4000 Suna reserves in Sunagakure, we have to deal with. If they come for us, it is definitely doom for us.

That's why Ishika-san is being very careful.” I explained to Gari in detail.

If I didn't explain clearly, he will bother me until I answer him better.

”If there are still 4000 reserves Suna shinobi, then why is Yudai's force being so timid and don't strike us? What are they afraid?” Gari got another question.

'Why does Gari sound like he wants Yudai force to attack us? Does this guy want to battle that much?' I narrowed my eyes to Gari.

”It is because Suna is having a war with Konoha besides us. They can't just focus on us solely.

There is a 50-50 chance that we crush Yudai force or they crush us. Let's say we defeat Yudai's force, and those Suna reserves come for us.

But what will happen when Konoha suddenly invades Suna when those 4000 shinobi reserves leave to deal with us?

Suna and us will receive heavy casualties while only Konoha would gain advantages and benefits.

That is why Yudai isn't rush to push us. They rather maintain this cold war than fighting death with our force.” I answered Gari.

I saw Gari was about to question me again and quickly changed the subject.

”Dude, you should think about how to save ourselves from Ishika-san's crazy training regiment, rather than thinking about others.”

Gari's face went to black as he heard me.

For other shinobi in our force, temporary peach has come for them as there were no big battles.
