Konoha new hero story

Chapter 178 Strategic Deployment
175 chapter

In a large area of ​​low-lying land in the Land of Rain, taking advantage of the perennial rain and dim light in the Land of Rain, the Konoha army temporarily stationed their camp here.

In the tent located in the center of the camp, Commander-in-Chief Jiraiya, sub-team leaders Tsunade, Orochimaru, Hatake Sakumo, and Jonin, the leader responsible for other functions of the army, gathered here.

There is only a table in the tent, not even a chair, and there is a map of the country of rain hanging.

There are some marks on the map, which are the possible locations where small groups of Sand Ninja and Iwanin have been collected by Konoha's intelligence forces in the past day or so.

In addition to the head-on encounter between Hatake Sakumo and the advance troops of Iwanin Village, after the battle, a ninja detachment led by Orochimaru also confronted a small group of troops from Sand Ninja Village. Generally speaking, they had a slight upper hand.

"After a round of fighting, our ninja troops do not have much advantage compared with the ninja troops of the other two villages."

Jiraiya also said that whether it is the ninja team led by Hatake Sakumo or Orochimaru, the reason why they can gain the upper hand is because Orochimaru and Sakumo, who are in charge of the team, have outstanding personal strengths, and the strength gap between the two ninja troops is not big. .

Especially in Sand Ninja Village, since the second generation of Kazekage Samana developed the puppet art, the puppet master has always been the unique signature of Sand Ninja Village, and in recent years, Sand Ninja Village has also specially established a troop composed of puppet masters, Orochimaru In the sand ninja team they encountered, there was no puppet master.

Konoha's current situation must find a way to expand the results of the Battle of Moon Valley on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain. Once Ye Yuexing and Yun Nin's large forces slow down, Konoha will face three powerful enemies at the same time. At that time, the situation will be quite unfavorable.

This situation is already extremely close to the Third Ninja World War that Jiraiya is also familiar with, but compared with Konoha during the third war, the current Konoha is actually not strong enough.

So from the very beginning of this war, Konoha can be said to be very lucky, because of Jiraiya's actions, Yunin Village, the strongest of the three ninja villages, was temporarily beaten and it was difficult to organize effective forces to carry out large-scale attack.

"What are your thoughts?"

Tsunade stared at Jiraiya who was contemplating at the moment, after so many years, she knew the boy in front of her too well, he must have some bold idea.

Not only her, but Orochimaru and Sakumo also noticed it.

They are all his own people, and he doesn't pretend to be a secret. He smiled slightly and said: "I think according to the current battle situation, we should take the initiative to attack."

"How do you want to fight?"

Sakumo asked, they were not surprised by Jiraiya's thoughts.

Everyone thought so too.

Jiraiya continued: "Divide up and fight, and attack the Sand Ninja and Iwanin at the same time."

"Isn't this a bit risky?" Hatake Sakumo frowned. Konoha's army currently has only 3000 people, while the enemy, Iwanin Village has a full 4000 people, and Sand Ninja has 500 people.

With the difference in the number of ninjas nearly doubling, it is really difficult to divide the troops and take the initiative to attack.

"It is true that there is no other way. If we continue to delay, the situation will only become more and more passive for us."

Orochimaru's thoughts coincided with Jiraiya's, saying: "The key lies in how to divide the troops."

"about this point."

Jiraiya also said: "We must give full play to the advantages of the Konoha clans, and evenly distribute the ninjas of the Hyuga clan, the Kamizuryu clan of Iwanin, and the puppet master troops of Sand Ninja Village. It is impossible to deal with them. Short."

"All the members of the Uchiha clan are also used to deal with Iwanin. The clansmen of the Uchiha clan, especially those who have opened Sharingan, dozens of people united are enough to fight a ninja army of two to 300 people."

"With the fighting style of the Qianshou clan, they are better at dealing with puppet masters, and with their physique, they are also resistant to toxins."

"Tsunade, before the battle begins, I will trouble you to prepare an antidote."

Tsunade nodded and said, "However, I don't know much about Chiyo's poisoning method, so the effect of the antidote may be very limited. It is absolutely fine to resist the toxin for a short time, but it should not work for a long time."

"That's enough." Zilai also smiled.

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade: "You haven't seen the puppet master troops in Sand Ninja Village at all. It's still unknown what kind of poison they use."

He himself is good at using toxins, but most of the toxins used by Orochimaru come from various animals, mainly snakes.

"Although I don't know what kind of poison they are using, the soil environment of the Land of Winds itself has very limited types of materials that can be used to produce poison."

"In recent years, I have recorded all the materials that the Kingdom of Wind has received from various sources."

Tsunade said confidently that if she had really seen the toxins equipped by the sand ninja puppet master troops, then what she could guarantee was not just the suppression of toxins in a short period of time.

As long as she is given a certain amount of time, Tsunade can completely suppress the detoxification formula.

As for Tsunade's self-confidence, except for Jiraiya, everyone present had no confidence in their hearts.

They will not have any doubts about Tsunade's talent as a ninja, but making antidotes is another field. Although it is related to medical ninjutsu, it is not closely related.

"Trust our companions, and even if the antidote made by Tsunade is not so ideal, it doesn't matter. I plan to take the oil girl clan to fight sand ninja. Their insects are the nemesis of puppetry." Jiraiya also looked at everyone , said solemnly.

"So, are you going to lead the team to Sand Ninja Village?"

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya, Sand Ninja was weaker than Iwa Ninja.

Of course, persimmons should be picked softly to be sure.

Even so, the only chance for Konoha's side to defeat the ninja troops in Sand Ninja Village lies with Jiraiya.

"Yeah, Sarutobi, Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi and other families in the village, let's discuss the distribution plan seriously now, and then the next thing to do is to find the location of the Sand Ninja and Iwanin troops .”

Jiraiya looked at the map of the Land of Rain behind him, which was not difficult for him who was proficient in immortal arts and possessed Mt. Miaomu's information network.

"On the Iwanin side, please still have Sakumo, try to delay as long as possible before we defeat the large army of Sand Ninja Village." Jiraiya turned his head to look at Orochimaru and Hatake Sakumo again.

As for Tsunade, she will naturally follow Jiraiya to fight the sand ninja. As long as she can collect enough samples in this battle, she will be able to make an antidote.

"As long as this battle is successful, we will be able to gain the initiative in the next war, so we must win."

Jiraiya stared at everyone in the tent, showing a rare serious expression.
