Chapter 172 Strategy
In the Konoha camp, there are messenger eagles that are constantly going back and forth, bringing back different pieces of information, which are summarized and reported to the command department by intelligence personnel.
"The situation is not optimistic," Elder Shinsuke said: "Our ninjas scattered in the Land of Rain not only have to face the pursuit of the two countries of Wind and Earth, but the Kingdom of Rain is also taking advantage of the situation.
Many teams have sent messages asking for help."
"Now that the two countries of wind and soil are powerful, the country of rain will naturally avoid its edge," Fugaku said: "The slightly weaker Konoha is its main target. The country of rain can weaken Konoha's strength and at the same time help the two countries of wind and soil to attack as soon as possible.
Enter the land of fire.
Move the central area of the battlefield to the Land of Fire to reduce the losses of the Kingdom of Rain. What we have to do now is to stabilize Konoha's situation in the Kingdom of Rain.
The Wind and Earth Alliance itself is also full of contradictions, but the immediate interests unite the two. Once the alliance fails to see the opportunity to invade the Country of Fire, I believe it will not take too long to fall apart."
"What Mr. Fugaku said is true. The Kingdom of Rain is the main battlefield, and the Rain Ninjas have a lot of hatred for the Three Kingdoms of Wind, Fire, and Earth, but the Rain Ninjas themselves are too small.
Even if we declare a full-scale war, we can't do anything to the other three countries. Now the Three Kingdoms are targeting Konoha. Our best way is to defeat them one by one.
After this crisis is resolved, we can start with the Rain Ninjas. Hanzo's main purpose is to end the melee in the Land of Rain.
As long as Konoha shows enough strength in this battle, I believe Hanzo will be willing to cooperate with Konoha. If the two countries cannot attack for a long time, internal conflicts will inevitably break out.
As long as we wait until the Futu Alliance disbands, Iwagakure will not be in danger, and it will be much easier to unite with the Rain Ninjas to attack Sunagakure."
Everyone nodded, Orochimaru's strategic vision was indeed good.
An intelligence officer quickly walked into the headquarters and said: "Lord Orochimaru, the intelligence department has received information from Hatake Sakumo."
Orochimaru took the message and glanced at it and said: "Hatake Sakumo is in a bad situation and is caught in the chase of a large number of rain ninjas. Uchida, you lead fifty ninjas from the first brigade to respond."
"yes."
"It's true that a tiger has been bullied by a dog." Elder Shinsuke said.
"After all, Sakumo-senpai has a reputation for being vicious, and few ninjas dared to attack him at his peak," Fugaku said: "The rain ninja's eradication of Sakumo-senpai is equivalent to eliminating a person with peak combat power in Konoha. It can not only effectively eliminate Konoha as a whole.
strength.
It can also increase the momentum of the rain ninjas and intimidate the two countries. After all, from the beginning of the war to the present, even with Hanzo, a leader who is considered half the ninja world, the rain ninjas are still a marginalized role."
Everyone nodded, and Elder Shinsuke said: "I hope that the news about Men Yan and Koharu's two advisors can be confirmed as soon as possible. Danzo is still imprisoned in Konoha. After all, several elders in the elder group are already old. Only the Hokage can do it."
Take charge of the overall situation.
Hokage-sama has always wanted to visit the Land of Rain in person to end the war as soon as possible."
"The two consultants are very powerful, so there will be no accidents. Maybe there will be news about the two consultants in a few days," said Nara Shikamaru.
A ninja on guard walked into the tent and said: "Lord Orochimaru, there is something strange happening in the Futu Alliance, and they seem to be planning to attack Konoha's position again."
Several people stood up one after another and walked out of the tent.
"It seems that Chiyo can't wait any longer." Elder Shinsuke said.
"Chiyo's timing is indeed good," Orochimaru said: "We have sent too many search teams and support teams, and it is impossible for the coalition forces to not notice it.
Now is indeed the time when we are at our weakest. Once the search team and support team bring back the Konoha ninjas scattered throughout the country, it will become more difficult for the coalition to attack again."
Fugaku smiled and said: "Senior's words are true, but Nakagawa, the leader of Iwagakure in the coalition forces, has died, and a new leader has not been chosen yet.
Once Iwagakure suffers too many casualties, I'm afraid the Iwagakure will feel dissatisfied and think that Chiyo is deliberately weakening the Iwagakure's strength and preserving the Suna ninja's strength.
If the Sunagakure casualties are greater than those of Iwagakure, Chiyo's reputation within Sunagakure will take a huge hit, and Chiyo may be very conflicted in her heart right now."
Orochimaru sneered twice and said: "Chiyo's move is exactly what I want. From this battle on, we can alienate the relationship between the two coalition forces.
Iwagakure has no general commander and can only fight on its own. Even if Chiyo formulates a battle plan, many Iwagakure who are prejudiced against Suna ninja will not execute it well.
The final casualties will definitely be greater than Sunagakure. After this battle, as long as you simply incite a little bit among the Iwa ninjas, you will definitely gain something."
Elder Shinsuke nodded and said: "What you two said is true. Orochimaru, Uchiha Fugaku, and Konoha have young geniuses like you. This battle will definitely be won."
"Elder Shinsuke is so complimentary."
In front of the position, the Futu Allied Forces began to approach again. Chiyo was walking at the front of the team with a serious expression. The several Iwa Ninjas standing side by side with her should be the senior Iwa Ninjas in the team.
One by one, the coalition troops began to advance, and several senior coalition officials began to speed up.
It seems that he wants to set an example and be the first to attack Konoha's trap area.
"It seems that Chiyo is ready to kill a certain number of ninjas," Fugaku said.
Orochimaru nodded and said: "Prepare the ninjutsu trap and launch it."
Traps were activated one after another, instantly forming ninjutsus that rushed towards the coalition forces. Defensive ninjutsus from the coalition forces appeared on the battlefield, and at the same time, offensive ninjutsus attacked the open space in the trap area.
Fugaku looked at the battlefield calmly. He had already guessed Chiyo's purpose and used ninjutsu to clear the entire trap area. Both ninjutsu traps and physical traps would be triggered by ninjutsu attacks.
Although it will consume a certain amount of chakra, it is better than watching Konoha continue to gather scattered ninjas to enhance one's own strength.
Rows of ninjutsu collided one after another, and the ninjas in the front row of the coalition forces continued to rotate and advance slowly. The battlefield was filled with mud splashing, water vapor steaming, strong winds mixed with flames, and water flow mixed with thunder and lightning.
"We need to take action. The top leaders of the coalition have relieved a lot of pressure on the ninjas in the rear." Fugaku said.
"Elder Shinsuke directs the battle," Orochimaru said: "In action, focus on killing the Iwa nin during the battle."
Fugaku ran into the battlefield with a teleportation technique, and his figure disappeared without a trace. Black mist filled the air outside his body, and the chaotic ninjutsu was his best cover.
Although the coalition is composed of two countries, the ninjas of the two countries are clearly distinct.
Fugaku's main target was the Iwa-nin troops, but he did not directly enter the Iwa-nin's team, but went towards the Sunagakure troops.
At this time, Chiyo was standing at the front of the Suna Ninja commanding the team to launch Ninjutsu. Occasionally, a few chakra threads in his hand would stick to the back of a Suna Ninja, helping the opponent avoid the Ninjutsu flying from the opposite side.
