Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

Chapter 104 Preparing for War 3.0

Nara Shikaji was startled, and subconsciously replied, "But that's not right. There are clearly Monoyan-sama and the others in the Land of Rain. I really can't imagine how Hanzo and the Amegakure ninjas bypassed us in Konoha in the Rain Country." The defense line of the country, march straight into the country of fire and steal it."

Before Nara Shikaji could finish what he said, Shirataki raised his hand to stop the other party. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but sneered and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter."

Concluding the matter in a commanding tone, Shirataki pondered for a moment. Seeing that everyone in the room was looking at him, he unconsciously touched his chin and said slowly, "Continue to attack our logistics. Sunagakure's purpose is nothing more than They want to force us to take the initiative to seek a decisive battle."

"In this case, their wish will be fulfilled. Let's end the trial phase as soon as possible and start a full-scale battle. The staff will draft a battle plan as soon as possible and hand it over to me for review. The date of the battle is set for the morning of the day after tomorrow. Also, please help me call someone. The genin of Matt Dai and Orochimaru are here!"

After speaking, Shirataki turned and left, leaving behind a group of combat staff who looked at each other. Obviously, they were not used to Shirataki making decisions so quickly.

Don't you care about the supply line? Also, it would be easier for Orochimaru to say who Matt Dai is? Most of the people in the field had doubts on their faces. Only Nara Shikaji vaguely grasped the key to the matter, his eyes flickering slightly unconsciously.

Regardless of whether Amegakure has the ability to break through Konoha's formation in the Country of Rain, as long as they move out and enter the Country of Fire, they will inevitably leave clues in the process. In other words, it is theoretically impossible for Konoha's top brass to know nothing about Amegakure's attack on the supply line.

But the actual situation is that the Kingdom of Sichuan has not received any intelligence from the Kingdom of Rain. Every time something happens to the transport troops, they disappear without a trace, and they don't even know where they were attacked. what does that mean?

Was it an honest mistake? forget? Do you really know nothing? Or is it that he turned a blind eye, or even more exaggeratedly, that there is some kind of secret tacit understanding with Amegakure, or rather Sunagakure?

Nara Shikaji didn't know what was going on, and to be honest, he really didn't want to know. Unlike Nara Shikaji, Shirataki, who walked out of the staff headquarters, was very concerned about the smell of conspiracy revealed in the "supply line attack" incident.

Without much thinking, Shirataki already had some guesses about this matter. If the supply line was really attacked, then this matter was somehow related to Mito Kadoyan and Sarutobi Hiruzen. Of course, it was also possible that they were not attacked at all. attack.

"It seems that the war in the Kingdom of Rain is about to end, otherwise these high-level officials would not have the thought to stumbling upon me." Shirataki quickly came to a conclusion in his mind, but... is it really necessary to do this? Shirataki couldn't understand.

Two days passed quickly, and all the ninjas of the three brigades gradually withdrew from all fronts and completed their assembly near the camp. There were more than three thousand ninjas, almost crowding the entire forest within a few kilometers of the surrounding area.

Shirataki didn't make any speech this time, he just gave an order, and the army immediately set off, heading straight towards the Sunagakure camp. The dense crowd surged together, lapping forward like waves of waves. There were ninjas running in front of and behind them, and it was impossible to see the end of the crowd.

While Shirataki ran quickly, he was silently thinking about how to fight the battle later. Although the staff department had already drawn up a plan, Shirataki still went through the process over and over again in his mind to prepare for various possible changes that might occur.

To be honest, although he had made up his mind to end the war as early as half a month ago, a decisive battle with Sunagakure now was not what Shirataki had expected from the beginning. After all, the intelligence hadn't been collected yet, and Sunagakure's trump cards hadn't been fully figured out, so this expedition seemed a bit rushed.

But if it continues to be delayed, problems will continue to arise in the transportation link, and batches of supplies will disappear. The reserves in the camp are becoming increasingly tight, and perhaps there will be no food in another month or two.

If the enemy behind the scenes is really Sanshou Hanzo, then sending one high-end combat force is obviously not enough, and sending two front lines will definitely cause chaos.

Therefore, after considering all possibilities and weighing them repeatedly, he made the decision to end the relationship with Sunagakure today.

After finishing his thoughts, Shirataki glanced around and happened to see Nara Shikaji pushing through the crowd and running towards his direction, so he asked directly, "Has Sunagakure made a move?"

Without a moment's delay, Nara Shikaji first replied, "We're on the move," and then he took out a map from his pocket and handed it to Shirataki, and continued, "The Suna ninja troops are divided into two groups, and one group is led by the Third Kazekage. About two thousand people came directly towards us, the other way."

Taking the map and unfolding it in front of him, Shirataki ran while staring at the two arrows marked above. One arrow started from the Sunagakure camp and pointed straight to the area where he was, and the other arrow.

"It was led by Monzaemon, and there were about a thousand people. They moved to the southern front, from south to east and then north, in a big arc. It seems they want to go straight into our camp."

"Split the troops?" Shirataki muttered, thinking of the deployment of troops in the southern area of ​​the camp at the moment, and of the hundreds of garrison ninjas who were left behind - belonging to the third brigade.

After just a few seconds of thinking, he threw the map to Nara Shikaji, who was approaching, and at the same time said in a cold voice, "Send the order and have Hatake Sakumo rush back to the camp to convey the news, and order all the people left behind to evacuate as soon as possible. Follow the troops ahead."

"Attention, tell Hatake Sakumo that he will come back quickly after the news is spread. His strength is needed on the frontal battlefield. In addition." He hesitated for a moment, thinking about the food and supplies in the camp, as well as those sent by the Daimyo of Kawanoguni. Gold, Silver and Jewelry. Bai Taki hesitated again and again, but finally stopped what he was about to say, shook his head and changed his words, "Forget it, that's it."

"Also, move quickly, save your life, don't take useless things." Bai Taki spoke very quickly, and there were bustling crowds around him, which made his voice sound a little unclear. Seems very blurry.

However, because he had been focusing on Shirataki and the distance was very close at this moment, Nara Shikaji still received Shirataki's order without saying a word.

After conveying Shirataki's order, Nara Shikaji, who was silently following Shirataki, couldn't help but said, "Shirataki-sama, don't we allocate part of our troops to defend Monzaemon?"

Regarding Shirataki's strategy of abandoning the rear and concentrating all his strength on the frontal battlefield in an attempt to complete the victory in one battle and directly defeat the Third Kazekage's troops, Nara Shikaji felt that it was very unstable. After all, if the battle did not end quickly, it would fall into If it reaches a saw-saw state.

After Monzaemon captures the base camp, he will 100% carry out an outflank and cooperate with the Third Kazekage on the front battlefield to attack his side from the front and back. It is not a good idea to be attacked from both sides.

Shirataki turned his head and heard Nara Shikaji's suggestion, and said casually, "Sunagakure's two-pronged attack was obviously prepared in advance. The intention is nothing more than to force us to divide our troops, but I don't want to follow their rhythm." ”

Nara Shikaji couldn't help but secretly glance at Shirataki when the calm tone came, and saw that the latter looked calm, with a hint of disapproval in his eyes. Seeing this, Nara Shikaji felt a little strange, and he couldn't help but continue to ask, "Then, Shirataki-sama, aren't you afraid?"

Raising his hand to stop Nara Shikaji, Shirataki snorted disdainfully and said, "I know what you want to say, and I only have one answer. Sunagakure will definitely not be able to survive for long on a frontal battlefield."

In Shirataki's view, the reason why Sunagakure engaged in this split-and-strike strategy was probably because he was not sure of defeating himself and the Konoha ninja army in a head-to-head situation. Therefore, they want to force themselves to divide their troops, force themselves to defend, force themselves to chaos, and then they can act according to the situation and fish in troubled waters.

Sunagakure's purpose is nothing more than to confuse the situation so that all of Konoha's high-end combat power cannot be concentrated in one place, and then break them apart, and finally find the right opportunity to launch a fatal blow to their own side. But Sunagakure thought of him too simply.

Do you think Shirataki would care about the hundreds of Konoha ninjas staying behind? Do you care about the supplies in the camp? After these two years of war, did Sunagakure have any misunderstandings about him?

The sun is high in the sky, in the central area of ​​the Kawa Country, a war between Konoha and Sunagakure is getting ready. This is a hilly area with uneven terrain. The height difference between patches is about a few meters. A ring of low hills of about ten meters is located nearby, forming a picture of undulating mountains.

There are no trees around, the ground is covered with lush weeds, and there are several small rivers under some low hills. The scenery is quite pleasant at first glance. The most important thing is that the view here is very broad. Although it is not a plain area, it is not far away.

Under his feet, there was grass up to his ankles. The fragrance of earth and the aroma of green grass reached his nose, making Shirataki feel slightly relieved, and the slight tension on the eve of the decisive battle could not help but ease a little.

Looking up into the distance, on another high slope about a few kilometers away, you can faintly see the figures of countless Sunagakure ninjas, swarming like dense ants, crowding the end of the field of vision.

Because the enemy's traces were discovered in advance, the Konoha ninja army stopped advancing as soon as they arrived here, stationed themselves on a relatively gentle slope, and quickly set up a formation to meet the enemy.

Behind Shirataki, there were more than 1,000 people from the First Brigade and the Second Brigade, divided into two neat square formations and waiting. They were directly opposite the Sunagakure troops. They were the main force fighting against the Sunagakure. The third brigade dispersed and rushed to the left and right sides in an arc-shaped array. While strictly maintaining a safe position two kilometers away from the battlefield, it faintly surrounded the central area.

Unlike the first and second brigades, after the battle begins, the third brigades will not participate in the first wave of offensives. Instead, they will use long-range attacks around the battlefield to support them, and wait until Sunagakure is at a disadvantage before joining the battle. Shirataki was very confident in winning this battle, so he adopted the tactic of opening the situation with the main force first, and then finishing with miscellaneous troops to deal with the current war. The purpose of doing this is still the same as before, to preserve Konoha's vitality as much as possible.

"Where is this place?" Because the landscape of Asakura was very different from the original battlefield in his memory, Shirataki asked Nara Shikashi next to him with a slight curiosity after looking around into the distance.

"The name of this place is Ishikawa Hills, about fifteen or six kilometers away from Asakusa." Nara Shikashi clearly understood what Shirataki wanted to ask, so he reported such a number without hesitation, and then added, "Sand Yin's movements are much faster than we thought, Lord Shirataki, it seems that we can only choose to fight here.
