Chapter 68 Rejected Plan

According to intelligence from scouts at the Iwagakure front, Ōnoki has already launched an attack on Konoha, and it is an all-out attack.

Ōnoki, the Tsuchikage, did not appear on the scene, but with the power of the two tailed beasts, the Four-Tailed and the Five-Tailed, plus the Explosive Release Squad brought by 'Hunter', the Iwagakure side still brought tremendous pressure to Konoha. In the absence of Minato Namikaze, Konoha was defeated one after another, and now the battlefield between the two sides has even advanced towards the heart of the Fire Country!

Obviously, Yagura's plan was successful.

With the news of Jiraiya's death, they asked the other two major ninja villages to help. Although they didn't know what was going on in Kumogakure, Iwagakure did exactly what Yagura had thought and launched a full-scale attack on Konoha.

This is also one of the reasons why, after Jinnan Town was breached, Konoha's resistance was not strong, and it even retreated directly to the rear position.

As the Iwagakure battlefield advanced, the distance between them and the Kirigakure battlefield became shorter and shorter.

Even if the entire army was mobilized, it would only take half a day to arrive, so the double-sandwich cheese plan at night was completely feasible.

After the top leaders of the Kirigakure discussed the feasibility of this plan, Yagura immediately asked the messenger in the position to use psychic means to transmit the information back to the village and apply for a combat plan.

But the reply he got was like pouring a bucket of cold water on Ye.

"The Mizukage-sama rejected your idea."

Yagura sighed and threw a scroll to Ye: "Lord Mizukage believes that even if we successfully launch a surprise attack on the Konoha unit that Orochimaru belongs to before Minato Namikaze can react at the fastest speed, we will still suffer a blow from the Iwagakure next."

"The greedy Ohnoki will not share the fruits of victory with us. If Iwagakure attacks us, we will face the Four-Tails, the Five-Tails, and the combined efforts of Minato Namikaze and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who have come to his senses! So the Mizukage rejected this plan. In his opinion, the best strategic plan at present is to seize the gap in the front line of Higashimatsu Mountain and directly launch an attack on Konoha."

Looking at the scroll in his hand, Ye Shenshen frowned.

The scroll emphasized Ye's performance in Dongsongshan, saying that Ye would be rewarded, but at the same time denied Ye's double-sandwich cheese battle plan.

Ye believes that an army that is in despair will win, while an army that is arrogant will lose.

But the Mizukage wanted to seize the opportunity and defeat Konoha with one blow, expand the victory, and even turn the advantage that Kirigakure currently holds into a winning advantage...

"Lord Yagura, what do you think?"

Ye put away the scroll and looked towards Yagura.

When the general is out, military orders are not obeyed.

As the most important commander on the Kirigakure front, Yagura has the right to deal with any emergency on the spot!

"Mizukage-sama is right. Ohnoki will never cooperate with us, so..."

"Then are you ready to face the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's Tailed Beast Ball's targeted attack?!"

Before Yagura could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ye: "Don't forget Jinnan Town, just one Tailed Beast Ball from the Five Tails caused us to lose hundreds of ninjas!"

"There is definitely a Flying Thunder God mark left by Minato Namikaze on Mount Higashinatsu. Once we step into it, Minato Namikaze will directly send the Tailed Beast Ball over. Tell me what to do!"

"Then once we have a conflict with Iwagakure, won't we still have to face the power of the tailed beasts? Two of them!"

"The power of the tailed beasts is not scary. What is scary is the power of the tailed beasts coordinated with the means of time and space. Isn't Lord Yagura aware of this?" Ye said in a deep voice: "If it were just the tailed beasts, I have ten thousand ways to defeat them head-on!"

Yagura frowned and said in a deep voice: "Then are you going to disobey the order of Mizukage-sama?!"

"I am responsible for the lives of all the Kirigakure ninjas!" Ye refused to give in!
The two looked at each other, Yagura took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "I understand your concerns, but we can't really go against the orders of Mizukage-sama."

"Besides, the prerequisite for releasing the Tailed Beast Ball is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. We can let you restrict the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki as before. Or you can go and wreak havoc in the Konoha camp again. They will definitely focus all their attention on you."

"We can even not enter Higashimatsu Mountain and directly fight Konoha head-on. We can fight with Konoha the moment we step into the battlefield. I don't believe that Konoha can completely disregard the lives of their fellow ninjas and attack us with the Tailed Beast Balls!"

"...You are destroying Kirigakure's advantage and future with your own hands, Yagura."

"This is an order from the Mizukage-sama."

"But you are the commander-in-chief on the front line, you are the general!"

"Since I'm the general, why are you still questioning my decision!" Yagura growled, "Lord Mizukage has already issued an order, and I think this order is very good and correct. What are you still questioning? Are you going to rebel just because your strategic and tactical plan is denied?!"

Ye looked at Yagura in disbelief. There was obviously a huge risk, and he had agreed with his idea before, but now...

Is this your political correctness, the decision you make in order to gain the necessary political capital?
"You're going to regret this, Yagura."

"I am the supreme commander, Ye!"

Ye's face froze, he looked at Yagura with cold eyes, turned around and left the tent.

Yagura snorted coldly and sat in his seat, not knowing what he was thinking.

The Kirigakure ANBU guarding the door didn't dare to breathe, their backs were even wet with cold sweat...

……

"The Mizukage-sama actually rejected Ye's tactical request... Didn't Ye tell him about the defeat of the Three-Tails that day?"

In the tent that belonged to the night, Mei Terumi asked in a low voice.

"I have reported everything to Yagura. Besides, even if Yagura concealed the news, Mizunotsuki Akira would report the situation directly to the Mizukage."

Ye said calmly, and the confusion on Terumi Mei's face became even more intense: "Then why..."

Knowing that the target has the ability to carry out ultra-long-range pinpoint strikes, they still confronted the opponent head-on. This is more than just arrogance. It is completely like they did not regard Konoha as a human being.

In other words, in the Third Mizukage's way of thinking, the combat power of the Kirigakure on the front line is already enough to crush Konoha, but the opponent is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the Flying Thunder God's Namikaze Minato!
This is a combination that is capable of destroying an entire country. When facing this kind of combination, one must be extremely cautious.

If they forcefully attack, even if they win, how much manpower will Kirigakure have left in the end? !
Mei Terumi seemed to want to say something but stopped herself, but Ye shook his head and spoke directly without any hesitation.

"My anger and disappointment are not because my tactics were not adopted, but because I cannot see the future of this village. Do you understand, Ming?"

"What is rotten in this village is not just the intelligence system, but everything at present, from head to toe, from inside to outside, deep into the bone marrow."

"Ridiculous policies, foolish leaders, corrupt management, and selfish subordinates. Everything born under the blood mist eventually converged into a sad village."

“This is what makes me angry and disappointed!”

"night……"
