Konoha Hypocrite (Part-2)

Chapter 262: Months Long Deadlock, Kannabi Bridge

For several months in a row, both Kumo and Konoha were in a stalemate at the border of the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Frost. Both of the forces didn't launch any frontal attack. Even the number of small assassination squads that sneaked into the other's territory was very few.

The number of Leaf ninjas who died in the battle was lesser than the number of Leaf ninjas whom Uchiha Tonan used for experiments. For him, the longer this war dragged on, the better.

It would be best if it dragged on until the other two ninja villages were completely settled and then when the attention of the entire Ninja World was shifted to this side, he could achieve victory in one fell swoop in a high profile.

In fact, whether he got military achievements or not was already not important. The most important thing was the live human experiments and ensuring that the development of the plot was back on the original track.

On Kumo's side, Sandaime Raikage's injuries had healed well. But all the high-ranking Kumo officials including Sandaime Raikage refused to discuss anything about the battle with Tonan. Because they were afraid.

Last time, the Cloud ninjas had seen the defeat of their Raikage-sama. If it weren't for Tonan showing mercy, their leader might have already died. So what if Sandaime Raikage's injuries were all healed now?

On the day of the defeat, Cloud ninjas had gathered all the information on Tonan and studied it over and over again. The more they studied, the more terrified they became.

Tonan had fought against Suna and Iwa and was able to suppress tens of thousands of ninjas in that battle. He possessed the legendary Susanoo, which they had already witnessed, was simply a killing machine on the battlefield. He summoned lightning all over the sky and condensed it into a lightning cutter, killing Sandaime Raikage in one strike.

What was even more frightening was that before Suna retreated, its troop was attacked by someone unknown. And the ninjas in their camp had no power to resist. Except for a few jonin, everyone else had died.

Based on the estimation, it happened to coincide with the time just before Tonan left that battlefront. The only good news they discovered was the so-called backlash. Most of the senior Kumo officials thought that Tonan didn't take the initiative to attack because of this backlash.

But they also didn't dare to launch an all-out attack. If by chance Tonan was forced into a corner and fought back desperately, they wouldn't be able to afford it regardless of whether Sandaime Raikage was killed or Cloud ninjas were massacred.

What's more, Sandaime Raikage had lost last time. Could he win this time just after recovering from his previous injuries? Tonan would not be merciful again. Sandaime Raikage was not afraid of death. The only thing he was afraid of was that if he died, there would be no one in Kumo who would be able to compete with Tonan and Kumo would truly be done for.

Just in this fashion, for several months, the Northern battlefront was the most peaceful of all the fronts. By now, Hatake Isan had already grown and broken out from the glass container. Considering that it was not suitable to bring an infant to the battlefield, Tonan sent some Leaf ninjas to send him back to Konoha's welfare institution.

As for him, he focused on researching the new cultivation method. During this time, Tonan's research was stuck in a bottleneck. This was because the cultivation method of cell vibration had met with several difficulties, and he had no way to break through them.

The first difficulty was that the human heart and lungs had a certain rhythmic frequency and amplitude, and when the cells vibrate, it could easily cause organ failure in the body. The second difficulty was resonance. There were too many cells in the human body, and as long as all of them vibrated, resonance would occur instantly, causing the amplitude to soar, which led to cell rupture.
