Chapter 209 Pig, Deer and Butterfly (5th Update, Please Subscribe, Please Vote for Me!)
On the border of the Land of Fire, in the Konoha Frontline Operations Command.
Nara Shikaku, known as Konoha's genius strategist, is the commander-in-chief in dealing with Kumogakure's invasion this time!
Yamanaka Kaiichi and Akimichi Choza, who are both members of the group "Inakacho", were sitting in the first place on either side of him.
Although the reputation of "Ino Shika Butterfly" is not as loud as that of Konoha's White Fang, Sannin and Golden Flash, after the Nine-Tails invasion, they are already Konoha's absolute elite force.
Especially in the tug-of-war with Kumogakure that lasted for more than a year, there were definitely not a few Kumogakure ninjas who died at the hands of "Inokagakure"!
Especially Akimichi Dingza, whenever he uses the super multiplication technique and appears on the battlefield with his extremely huge body, the ninjas on the Konoha side seem to have taken a reassurance, and their morale will definitely increase!
Of course, his huge body not only increases his destructive power, but also makes him a target for enemies to focus fire on.
There were even times when Akimichi Choza almost didn't come back from the battlefield.
If it weren't for the purpose of boosting morale, and if someone really had to play the role of the backbone, Akimichi Tingza would not have risked his life every time.
After all, Konoha was in a period of recession at this time, and the backbone of the previous generation was dying and leaving, and then was severely damaged by the rampage of the Nine-Tails.
As a result, the next generation of talents were attacked again by Kumogakure before they had fully grown up.
Fortunately, Kumogakure's side is not much better than Konoha.
Not only did the Third Raikage fall into the hands of Iwagakure, they also suffered heavy losses in the Third Ninja War.
If he hadn't been alive, the Third Raikage would have had the foresight to pass on the position of Raikage to his son in advance, and also subdue the rampaging Eight-Tails and seal it in Kirabi's body.
I guess the civil strife and tailed beast issues alone are enough to make Kumogakure overwhelmed!
It must be said that the Fourth Raikage was very courageous. He targeted Konoha when it was at its weakest, suppressed many voices of opposition in the village, and wanted to complete his victory in one battle.
From a God's perspective, this decision really hit Konoha seven inches in the face!
If Kumogakure were in its heyday, he might really be able to annex Konoha in one fell swoop.
It's just that Kumogakure overestimated his remaining strength at this time, and underestimated Konoha's foundation and will.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Although Kumogakure's ninja troops have been temporarily repelled by us and retreated to a canyon in the northeast, the terrain there is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and according to the news from our reconnaissance team, Kumogakure is already there Protective measures have been put in place.”
"If it's not what I expected, Kumogakure probably wants to use that place as a new frontline stronghold, and then be ready to counterattack us at any time!"
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Nara Shikaku was doing deductions on the sand table while consulting other people's opinions.
At this time Akimichi Tingzao coughed twice with a pale face, "You are our commander-in-chief, and there should be no one smarter than you among the people present. We will fight how you say, give the order!"
Yamanaka Haiichi also nodded with a serious face. If they could really think of a good countermeasure, this war wouldn't have lasted for more than a year and still be stalemate here.
So instead of shaking his judgment, it is better to believe in Nara Shikaku's decision!
Even if we fail, the worst thing is that we can all bear it together.
"Pig, Deer and Butterfly" always advance and retreat together!
Others obviously had the same idea. It wasn't that they didn't want to express any opinions, but that during the war for more than a year, they had become accustomed to following Nara Shikaku's command.
Although Nara Shikaku is not a god and cannot win every time, overall, there are no major flaws in the orders given by Nara Shikaku.
He even successfully repelled the enemy with several opportunities to counterattack and regained the dominance!
So they were all very convinced of Nara Shikaku.
When Nara Shikaku saw this, instead of feeling happy, he felt a headache and a lot of pressure because of this heavy trust.
If he had a choice, he would rather be like Akimichi Tingzao, just obey orders and do his own thing.
How relaxing that is!
But he can't, he is the commander-in-chief of this war, and he is the brains of the entire Konoha coalition.
So no matter how troublesome it is, he must find a way to win this war!
So he immediately began to issue orders accurately one by one based on the intelligence returned and his own judgment.
After the meeting ended and everyone else left, leaving only the "Ino Shika Butterfly" trio, Nara Shikaku immediately started to sigh with a headache.
"What's wrong? Isn't the current situation favorable to us?" Yamanaka Haiichi asked with a smile.
"Although it is true to say that, the current situation is not enough for us to turn our advantage into victory. If this war is delayed for one more day, more people will be sent to death by my own hands. This kind of suffering is really It’s too heavy.”
Yamanaka Haiichi and Akimichi Choza fell silent immediately.
There is no such thing as death in war.
And in order to achieve the overall strategic goal, some people will inevitably be sacrificed to complete those fatal tasks.
Therefore, all the advantages in front of us are actually filled with human lives!
It is not an exaggeration to say that Nara Shikaku personally sent them to their death.
But this is the fate of ninjas.
"Such sentimentality is not what a calm commander should do. I thought you were used to the war in front of you."
Nara Shikaku smiled bitterly and couldn't help but complain: "Anyone who can be content in such a cruel war is either a pervert or a lunatic!"
Yamanaka Haiichi also laughed, and then immediately returned to the topic, "Our intelligence power has been seriously insufficient recently. I didn't want to cause trouble for you in the meeting just now, but the loss rate of intelligence personnel is too high. We need more investigation teams, otherwise we won’t be able to provide you with accurate intelligence information in a timely manner.”
Hearing this, Nara Shikaku suddenly felt his head hurt even more. He reluctantly nodded and said: "I will try my best to find a way to add more manpower to you."
He is indeed in a dilemma, because now there is no more power in the village to supplement the front line.
Therefore, we can only find a way to temporarily transfer some of the existing personnel to form an intelligence team.
But this method of rushing ducks to the shelves is completely using human life to try luck!
But if he doesn't do this, there is no other way. There is no way he can turn Yamanaka Haiichi into some precious intelligence personnel out of thin air!
Then he turned his head and looked at Akimichi Dingza, "How is your injury?"
"It's no big problem. It's almost done. You don't have to worry about me."
Although Akimichi Dingzao acted very relaxed, you must know that the last time, he was carried off the battlefield in a coma and almost failed to be rescued...
(PS: The second group of 1,000 people is already full. Although the second group of 2,000 people is not full, you may not be able to search it, so I created a new group, the third group, 144426313. Friends who want to join the group can come in to urge the update. .)
