Naruto: I, the righteous one, became the mastermind behind everything!

Asuka nodded and then disappeared.

In less than 15 minutes, Uchiha Shisui and the other three returned.

After staying up all night and rushing to fight one after another, the three of them were all tired. They hurriedly ate Bingliang Pills and drank water before falling asleep.

However, Hoshita Shuichi formed shadow clones one by one, and still carried out yesterday's tactics.

……

The northern border of the Kingdom of Wind, the frontline base camp for the battle against Iwa Ninja.

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa fell silent after hearing the report from the person sent by Chiyo.

Naturally, he knew Hoshita Shuichi and had fought against him a long time ago.

Although he had not seen the battle between Hoshita Shuichi and the Third Kazekage with his own eyes, he had heard Ma Tai describe it in great detail.

I never imagined that the kid from back then would grow up to this level, even elites like Ma Tai and Fei Lian died at his hands.

"That guy was put on a bounty by Iwa Ninja because of the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki. He once defeated the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki..."

Luo Sha fell into deep thought: "Konoha White Fang, Red Sand Scorpion...did he kill the third generation?"

He had to make startling speculations.

He had this idea after learning from the Iwa Ninja captives the reason why Hoshita Shuichi was put on a bounty by the Iwa Ninja, but quickly rejected it. However, the strength shown by Hoshita Shuichi now forced him to re-examine this speculation.

"Whether it is him or not, he can annihilate the hundred-man brigade commanded by Fei Lian in one battle. With this strength, apart from me, only one can suppress it."

Luo Sha made a decision quickly and immediately ordered someone to escort Monk Fenfu to the Kingdom of the River.

As for Iwa Ninja...

Luo Sha pondered: "We must decide the outcome as soon as possible and mobilize troops to the River Country."

"Even if we can't invade the Fire Country, we must take over all the River Country."

He has realized that it is very difficult to extend his influence into the Kingdom of Birds.

Although the quality of the Iwa Ninja is far inferior to that of the Suna Ninja Village, their numbers are huge, and now the army he leads is unable to make any progress.

"Maybe..."

The idea of ​​peace talks with Iwa Nin suddenly flashed through Luo Sha's mind, but he immediately rejected the idea.

Even if there is peace talk, it must not be brought up by Sunagakure Village!

……

In the afternoon, in the conference room of the Tsuchikage Building in Iwagakure Village, the senior officials of Iwagakure Village were arguing with each other.

Half an hour ago, the Sand Ninja and Mist Ninja had sent back information about the battle with Konoha.

Ohnoki immediately convened this high-level meeting.

However, unlike the last time when they quickly reached an agreement to start a war against the Suna Ninja, this time they were divided into two groups on whether to launch an attack on Konoha.

"Although I don't want to admit it, Konoha is indeed the most powerful among the five great ninja villages."

"Although Konoha is currently being attacked by the Sand Ninja and the Mist Ninja, according to the intelligence, the forces dispatched by the Sand Ninja and the Mist Ninja are not large. Now is not the best time to attack."

"Yes, and Konoha has already increased its troops at the border before, which means it is already guarding against us. We should get the information about Konoha's troop strength in the battle against the Suna Ninja and the Kiri Ninja before making a decision."

"Or we can wait until the Mist ninjas invade the Fire Country from the east, or even after the Cloud ninjas take action!"

"But I'm afraid I'll miss the opportunity. Konoha's strength is obvious to all. If they repel the Mist Ninja and Suna Ninja before we dispatch, there will be no one to share the strength for us."

"Yes, if we attack now, the Sand Ninja and Mist Ninja will definitely take the opportunity to increase their strength, and the Kumo Ninja will also be defeated."

"We can even negotiate peace with the Sand Ninja and attack the Fire Country together!"

……

Listening to the quarrel between the two sides, Ohnoki frowned, then coughed twice, and said: "First collect more information, especially the strength of Konoha, Sasha Ninja, and Mist Ninja, as well as the attitude of Hanzo in the Rain Ninja Village. "

"Previous intelligence showed that Konoha has been wooing Hanzo."

Onoki's words were settled, and many senior officials of Iwa Ninja nodded in agreement.

As the decision was made, Ohnoki's order was quickly conveyed, and more Iwa Ninja teams were dispatched, heading straight to the Land of Rain.

Due to the geographical location, Yun Ren only received the news from the spy in the evening.

Unlike Ōnoki's meeting, the Third Raikage only consulted Toshiro and other jounin for their opinions before deciding to wait for the opportunity quietly.

Although he was very restless in his heart and wanted to start a war and seize benefits.

……

In the Kingdom of Rivers, the base camp of Mist Ninja, Ghost Lantern Crescent Moon looked gloomy, and was so heartbroken that he almost bled.

Although he had issued an order to retreat whenever he encountered Hoshita Shuichi, the losses were still rising rapidly.

Even if you have to retreat when you encounter Hoshita Shuichi, it will be difficult!

But it just happened to be a shadow clone, so even if he mobilized troops to besiege it, there would be no point.

And from yesterday to now, almost 300 people have been lost.

Gui Deng Xinyue never thought that one person could achieve this level.

"Damn little devil..."

Ghost Lantern and Crescent Moon cursed secretly.

There were not many choices before him now.

Either find Hoshita Shuichi's true form and concentrate our forces to kill him.

But today I got more information about this kid from the Sand Ninja. It is very likely that he has mastered the art of time and space. It is too difficult to surround and kill such a person.

Either ask for help from the village and let powerful enough ninjas come to contain Hoshita Shuichi.

But with such strength... Guideng Xinyue rejected this choice.

Because a kid asks the village for help, then he is too incompetent!

So, after thinking it over, he seemed to have only one choice.

That is to launch a general offensive as soon as possible and invade the Fire Nation.

Although they haven't yet figured out the troop deployment on the other side, according to intelligence from previous spies, Konoha's total troop strength on the River Country side will not exceed 1500.

"As long as Konoha's main force is defeated, there is nothing Hoshita Shuichi can do."

"Concentrate your forces to break through a little bit..."

Ghost Light Crescent Moon thought to himself: "If Konoha's military strength exceeds that of me, then we will use penetration tactics to shake Konoha's entire border layout. Sunagakure Village will be able to seize the opportunity and break through both inside and outside."

This plan was very risky, as the Suna Ninja's importance increased dramatically, especially when they were at a disadvantage.

"But Konoha's military strength will not exceed me, and at most it will be equal to me."

"Then as the attacking party, I have the upper hand!"

Looking at the map, Gui Deng Xinyue clapped his hands and made a decision in his heart.

Launch a general attack on Konoha tonight!

Ghost Lantern Xinyue immediately issued an order to recall all the teams that had dispersed.

……

The actions of the Kiri Ninja were quickly discovered by the shadow clone of Hoshita Shuichi, and Uchiha Shisui, Hayakura, and Asuka returned to Hoshishita Shuichi's body and talked about the strange phenomenon of the Kiri Ninja's sudden retreat.

This was not just one or two teams retreating. Through the Crow Clone, it was discovered that many of the Mist Ninja teams that were fighting Konoha Ninja suddenly retreated.

After hearing the information from Uchiha Shisui and the others, Hoshita Shuichi did not make a rash decision, but quietly waited for the feedback from the shadow clone.

Time passed little by little, and in the evening, the shadow clone monitoring the Mist Ninja was finally released, and the memory was fed back.

Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but be stunned: "Is this a case of jumping over the wall?"

His tactics were indeed a bit disgusting. The shadow clones were dispatched, and Asuka and the others hunted the mist ninja everywhere.

There are even many times when the shadow clone directly blocks the Mist Ninja not far from the Mist Ninja's base camp.

Too embarrassing!

But now, the Mist ninja actually shrunk all their strength and formed a mass to move out together. It seemed that they were going to directly launch a general attack, not to mention the deployment of troops on Konoha's side.

After thinking about it, Hoshita Shuichi once again separated a shadow clone to monitor the actions of the Kiri Ninja, and then said to Uchiha Shisui: "Shisui, please send your crow clone to the rear."

"The Mist Ninja suddenly gathered all their strength, and it seems that they are going to directly launch a general attack into the Land of Fire."

Uchiha Shisui nodded, and the group of crows resting not far away immediately took off and flew away.

At the same time, at the Sand Ninja frontline base camp, Chiyo agreed to Ghost Light Crescent Moon's plan without hesitation after receiving the news from the Kiri Ninja.

However, how to coordinate and when to launch a general attack depends on the timing.

Chiyo felt that with the strength of the Mist Ninja, even if they were at a disadvantage, they could still sustain it for a while.

A plan that benefits them and there is no reason not to agree to it.

……

Uchiha Shisui quickly received feedback from the crow clone, and said to Hoshita Shuichi, who had turned into a mini Four-Tails: "Shuichi, Lord Orochimaru has begun to gather troops, but he needs you to go back."

Hoshita Shuichi opened his eyes, a little surprised: "Master Orochimaru is here?"

Uchiha Shisui nodded: "I happen to be patrolling here."

Hoshita Shuichi returned to his human form, but this time he did not use the shadow clone, but directly moved his body back with the Flying Thunder God.

After seeing Orochimaru, Hoshita Shuichi was surprised when Orochimaru said: "Shuichi-kun, how about I leave this battle to you to command?"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "Whether it's my qualifications or experience, I'm afraid I'm not suitable."

Orochimaru said seriously: "But your previous strategy was very effective, wasn't it?"

"I need you to hold off the Kiri-nin!"

"Now is not the time for a decisive battle with the Mist Ninja."

Hoshita Shuichi had a different idea: "Lord Orochimaru, I think this is an opportunity to defeat the main force of the Mist Ninja."

"It's rare for the Mist Ninja to gather everyone together and prepare for a frontal charge with us. As long as I send my Flying Thunder God Kunai into the Mist Ninja army, I can break their formation."
