Chapter 241 You guys can take command!
"In other words, you're going to launch a counterattack against us. Tsk tsk tsk, how brave you are, Chisuke."
In the dream, Kyosuke patted Chisuke on the shoulder, his mouth full of schadenfreude.
"There are no weaklings in our team. The Uchiha, Hyuga, Sarutobi, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, among other powerful clans, have all sent their elites. Even the non-clan ninjas are all exceptionally strong. It's hard to imagine how you can attack us."
Chisuke swatted Kyosuke's hand away and retorted, "Isn't it because of you? With you, the traitor of Konoha, I'm sure I can complete the mission."
On the other side, Kiichiro was pulling Yamori along, muttering about the various experimental materials needed, making Yamori feel like drawing his sword to kill someone.
"You better tone it down. I'm being hunted down right now because I was trying to get those chakra metals for you!"
Upon hearing Mikami's complaint, Kiichiro slapped his forehead and excitedly told Mikami some good news.
"Mi Shou, have you been to the gold exchange lately? Hehehe, your bounty has increased a lot again, congratulations! When I'm starving, I can borrow your heads to exchange for money!"
"You fat bastard, you're asking for it!"
Enraged, Mikami was about to attack when Kyosuke and Sensuke each grabbed one of his hands.
Chisuke looked at Yamori expectantly: "Yamori, you'll come to help me, right? We're old comrades-in-arms. The glorious days we fought against the Konoha ninjas together seem like yesterday. Let's do it again."
what?
Hearing Chisuke's words, Yamori was completely confused.
help?
How can I help you?
The glorious days when we fought together against Konoha?
Have it?
All I remember are those miserable years when I was brutally beaten by the Konoha ninjas and almost died.
Speaking of this, Shukaku's Tailed Beast Ball almost killed me back then!
This score hasn't been settled yet!
You wouldn't be so delusional as to expect me to go to the battlefield to help you, would you?
As Mimori's mind raced and he just began to understand the meaning behind Chisuke's words, he was about to speak when Kyosuke interrupted him from the other side.
“Misaka, this time our Konoha ninjas are stronger and better prepared, so we have a greater chance of winning. If you help me, the danger will be less. Please come and help me.”
ha? !
You already have the upper hand, why should I help you?!
I should go and help Chisuke, who is more likely to be in danger!
Although swords and spears have no eyes on the battlefield, you just said that most of your team members are elites, so you should be able to take advantage of the chaos.
Kyosuke's alternate account is too cowardly; he only cares about his own safety and doesn't care about the bigger picture at all.
Mimori was dissatisfied and wanted to criticize and educate Kyosuke, but Chisuke spoke up again, rambling on and on, and then Kyosuke rambled on and on in rebuttal.
Mi Shou realized that the two of them didn't care about his thoughts at all. In their eyes, he was just a mindless tool that they could use however they wanted.
At this moment, Kiichiro quietly shifted his position and sat down in the corner, hoping not to be conscripted by Sensuke and Kyosuke.
In the end, Kyosuke won the debate with Chisuke, and then Yamori chose to help Chisuke.
The four discussed the matter further and then left separately.
Kyosuke opened his eyes, feeling unhappy, and started thinking about how to slack off on the battlefield.
Or, find an opportunity to get injured, so you can go back to the rear to recuperate.
But this is not a good situation. I have just learned immortal techniques, and I am sure that I have attracted the attention of the higher-ups. If I try to play tricks in front of those old foxes, I might accidentally make things worse.
trouble!
Headache!
It was late at night, and many Konoha ninjas were taking their final rest in a dense forest.
According to the reconnaissance team's intelligence, if we continue forward for several more hours, we will encounter the Sand Ninja.
Currently, the commander in command is Nara Shikaku.
Once they reunite with Minato Namikaze, Minato will take over command, with Shikaku Nara assisting him.
"It's almost time."
Upon seeing the dark, cloud-covered night sky, Nara Shikaku ordered the attack to begin.
"An enemy?!"
"Defend! Defend now!"
"There are enemies behind us too, we're surrounded!"
Thanks to the Byakugan's reconnaissance capabilities, Konoha had obtained detailed intelligence on the Sand Ninja and devised a meticulous attack plan, immediately overwhelming the Sand Ninja at one of their strongholds.
In just one minute, dozens of Sand Ninja were killed, without even a chance to send a signal to their rear that they were under attack.
"Continue the attack, exploiting the gaps in the enemy's defenses to expand our gains."
For the next day and night, Konoha ninjas, spearheaded by Jonin squads, swept through one Sand Ninja stronghold after another like a flood.
The Sand Village's defenses, which had already been breached by Minato Namikaze, were now being swept away.
The battle went smoothly. Kyosuke and his squad were like cogs in a machine, mechanically turning according to plan: reconnaissance, interception, and killing the enemy.
The process was boring, but it was very safe.
Because they needed to clear out the Sand Ninja from the Land of Rivers to prevent them from becoming a threat, their progress was slow. It wasn't until the third day that Kyosuke and the others reached the border of the Land of Wind and met up with Minato Namikaze.
At this moment, Minato Namikaze, though extremely tired, had bright eyes and was in good spirits.
In his true form, he led his subordinates into the Land of Wind, but unfortunately they were ambushed by the Sand Ninja led by Rasa and were driven out.
"Currently, the Sand Village has built defensive fortifications along the border and is holding their ground, likely waiting for reinforcements. We should launch an attack immediately."
Inside the command post, Minato Namikaze explained the situation at the front.
Nara Shikaku expressed his support: "That's right. We have an advantage in the early stages of this surprise attack, and we must make full use of this advantage."
"How should we attack?"
The question was asked by Hyuga Hizashi.
In this operation, Hyuga Hizashi led the elite members of the Hyuga clan to form an independent reconnaissance team, responsible for gathering intelligence on the entire battlefield, and therefore qualified to participate in the discussion.
"Since we currently have the advantage, we should concentrate our forces to create a crushing advantage in a localized area and break through a section of the enemy's defenses in one fell swoop, which will make victory easy."
Across from Hyuga Hizashi, Uchiha Yatsuhoku revealed his strategy. His voice was calm and his tone even, yet it was full of convincing power.
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha originally assisted Fugaku Uchiha in managing the Konoha Police Force.
This time, in order to deal a heavy blow to the Sand Village, the Third Hokage persuaded Fugaku Uchiha to lead a portion of the police force into the war.
As the representative of the powerful Uchiha clan, the Eighth Hokage naturally had the right to participate in decision-making.
Hyuga Hizashi nodded slightly upon hearing Uchiha Yatsuho's words: "That's right. We can also organize several feint squads to disperse the enemy's forces as much as possible and coordinate with our real attack."
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha glanced at Hizashi Hyuga, then turned calmly to Minato Namikaze: "Commander, please give the order. Our Uchiha clan is willing to take on the vanguard mission and open a breach for our army."
Hyuga Hizashi also said, "Our Hyuga clan will fully cooperate to ensure that we have an absolute advantage in intelligence."
Listening to the conversation between Hizashi Hyuga and Yatsuhoku Uchiha, Minato Namikaze felt a slight headache.
The current Konoha is divided into several factions: the Hokage faction, the powerful clan faction, the minor ninja clans, and the common people faction.
Each faction can be further subdivided, becoming entangled with each other, forming alliances and counter-alliances.
This appointment as commander is both a training opportunity and a test for Minato Namikaze.
It not only tests his command and strategic planning abilities, but also his management skills and whether he can reconcile internal conflicts.
The scene just now seemed very harmonious, with the Hyuga and Uchiha clans, who disliked each other, working together for the sake of Konoha.
But if you've already decided on the tactics, what's the point of having Minato Namikaze as the commander?
Let's just put the two of you in command of the troops!
