I am the most popular character in Naruto!

He compared the map with the intelligence, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

"its not right……"

"What's wrong?"

Nara Shikaku was deep in thought when suddenly he saw the languid Chiaki and realized what was happening.

"Oh no! We've fallen for their trap!"

"From the very beginning, Onoki's target was not the Land of Wind!"

"Given his cautious nature, he would certainly not launch an attack on the Land of Wind rashly after learning that Chiaki is still there!"

"In other words, Onoki and the ninjas from the Land of Earth on the border of the Land of Wind are all bait!"

"The real purpose—"

Nara Shikaku frantically searched the map, finally fixing his gaze on a single point.

"God is not here!"

Chapter 344 I must go!

"Shin-no-bi?"

Qianqiu, who was immersed in a life of "wine pool and meat forest", jumped up with a "whoosh" when he heard this phrase.

"?"

"Qianqiu, what's wrong?"

Future looked at Chiaki with a puzzled expression, only to see Chiaki sweating profusely and trembling slightly. Future immediately realized what was going on.

not good.

This place name probably refers to some major event in the original work, which is why Chiaki is so nervous.

"Shin-no-bi?"

Yakushi Nonou frowned, put down the fruit in her hand, walked to Chiaki's side, wiped away her cold sweat, and said reassuringly, "Lady Chiaki, please relax, everything is fine now."

Her voice has a strong maternal quality, making it very easy for people to connect with her.

After hearing what Yakushi Nonou said, Chiaki took a deep breath and then exhaled a long breath, suppressing her emotions.

Although Chiaki didn't hear clearly what Nara Shikaku was rambling on about, she did notice his last sentence.

Onoki's true purpose was not to attack the Land of Wind, but to attack the place called "Kannabi".

God has no power.

This is actually the name of a region located on the border of the Land of Fire, bordering the Land of Grass and the Land of Waterfalls, and quite close to the Land of Earth.

At the same time, this area also involves the neighboring Frost Country and part of the Field Country, making it a place where powerful nations intersect.

Kannabi has few usable resources, but as a region with convenient transportation, it is a strategic location that is contested by military strategists.

Kannabi has always been under the control of the Land of Fire, but to put it bluntly, this area is actually a no-man's-land, as can be seen from the name "Kannabi".

The original meaning of “毗” is umbilical cord, but it has gradually come to mean damage, and is often used in Buddhism.

The most straightforward meaning here is that "even the gods wouldn't care."

In this very place, there exists the Kannabi River, which supplies the entire forest of the Land of Fire with resources. This Kannabi River also provides water to the surrounding countries.

Other than that, there is nothing.

Normally, the Land of Fire doesn't pay much attention to this area, only occasionally having someone repair the Kannabi Bridge that spans the Kannabi River to facilitate the passage of pedestrians and merchants.

But in times of war, this area becomes extremely important.

If someone were to conquer the small countries surrounding the Kannabi region and then launch a large-scale invasion, the Kannabi region would be easily breached, and they could then march straight in from the border forest of the Land of Fire!

However, this possibility is quite small. Although the surrounding small countries are not much, they still have defensive capabilities.

In addition, the Land of Fire usually takes care of them, so both morally and logically, those smaller countries will give the Land of Fire some face and do their part to stop other countries from invading.

but! Yes!

What if two major powers suddenly form an alliance and simultaneously put pressure on these smaller countries?

Nara Shikaku broke out in a cold sweat and glanced down once more at the information that Yakushi Nonou had gathered.

That's right.

Although Onoki's military force stationed on the border of the Land of Wind looks large, it is actually meaningless.

According to intelligence reports, these ninjas are disorganized and lack any discipline, and their accents are quite mixed.

There is a high probability that it was a team cobbled together by Onoki, specifically to fool the Land of Wind.

The real force must have been entirely committed to the troops attacking the Land of Fire!

That makes sense!

Nara Shikaku slammed his fist on the table. "What a great Onoki! What an old man!"

He actually used himself as bait, and after meeting Chiaki, he immediately changed his strategy, making a big fuss about his existence and using his bet with Chiaki to attract the attention of the Land of Fire, so that the Land of Fire would focus its military strength and attention on defending the Land of Wind.

With Chiaki present, Konoha will definitely do everything they can to protect her, and at the same time, the Sannin of Konoha will also focus their attention on Chiaki.

In this way, the Land of Earth can hide its troops within the Land of Lightning, and the two countries can simultaneously put pressure on the smaller country, open up the Kannabi region, and take advantage of the Land of Fire's lack of reaction to launch a long-range attack and strike at its heart!

That's a brilliant plan!

I've completely fallen victim to this!

Nara Shikaku shouted in embarrassment and annoyance, "Inoichi! Hurry up! Ninja Taka!"

"Forget it! I can't wait any longer!"

"What is the furthest distance your secret technique can connect?"

"Would it be alright to go to Konoha?"

Yamanaka Inoichi, bewildered, said helplessly, "Brother, I'm not a god, I can't do that..."

"Then give me the Ninja Hawk right now! Hurry!"

Nara Shikaku spoke anxiously, and Chiaki frowned and stepped forward, "Strategist, what exactly happened? What happened to Kannabi?"

For Chiaki, the place of Kannabi was far too important, more important than any war so far.

If Obito had been captured in the Battle of Kannabi and Madara Uchiha had been dealt with, the Fourth Shinobi World War might never have happened.

"Oh... I'll tell you later!"

Nara Shikaku, who always loved to explain, waved to Chiaki and quickly grabbed a pen and paper to write, having no time to explain at all.

"...Nara Shikaku!"

Chiaki gritted her teeth and stomped her foot. "If this incident involving Kannabi was caused by my fault, then you must tell me!"

"I will definitely find a way to solve this!"

If the defeat in the Battle of Kannabi was truly due to his own fault, then Chiaki would probably hate himself for the rest of his life.

"You can't solve this! And it's not your fault!"

Nara Shikaku spoke without looking up, his hands flying across the scroll as commands appeared rapidly.

"Nara Shikaku!"

Chiaki was a little annoyed, and Mirai quickly pulled her back, patting her back reassuringly. Yakushi Nonou stepped forward and said to Chiaki in a deep voice, "Chiaki-sama, let me explain to you. It's like this..."

Just then, a member of the Land of Wind's secret service suddenly appeared before Nara Shikaku, anxiously handing him a scroll: "Mr. Nara, this is a secret report from Lord Ebizo!"

At the same time, a dusty ninja hawk rushed in through the window and landed on Yamanaka Inoichi's hand.

"Shikaku!"

Yamanaka Inoichi untied the scroll from Shinobi Hawk's leg, read it, and then handed it to Nara Shikaku in astonishment.

"Damn it... I knew it!"

Nara Shikaku gripped Ebizo's scroll tightly and gritted his teeth. Ebizo had also noticed the problem and had specifically sent someone to remind Nara Shikaku.

The intelligence from the Ninja Hawk was that a large army from the Land of Lightning had been discovered near Kannabi. Orochimaru immediately ordered his men to return to defend, but estimated that they could not hold them off, so he asked Nara Shikaku to make a decision.

"I'll go!"

Chiaki grabbed Nara Shikaku and said resolutely, "I don't care what you arrange! I'm going!"
