Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 167 Similar to Hashirama Senju

"I plan to build a second elite force, with you at its core, to destroy the Wind Kingdom's stronghold in the River Kingdom!"

Tsunade said hatefully.

The pressure at the front lines was too great for her, and she also received the latest intelligence: the Land of Earth had invaded.

Originally, she and her advisor Nara Shikaku had planned to use a delaying tactic to wear down the Land of Wind.

It even dragged on until the Land of Earth couldn't help but take action against the Land of Wind.

There are still many grudges left between the two countries from the Second Shinobi World War. According to their estimates, as long as Konoha can hold off the Land of Wind for a period of time, the Land of Earth will most likely launch a war against the Land of Wind.

Unexpectedly, the Land of Earth was able to hold back, which suggests that the two countries had already reached some kind of secret agreement.

Now that two major powers are attacking Konoha together, the pressure has shifted to Konoha.

If the policy of delaying is not implemented, it cannot be carried out.

Unfortunately, the Land of Fire's geographical location makes it too vulnerable to being targeted, making it impossible for them to fully commit to dealing with the Land of Wind.

Otherwise, Sunagakure in the Land of Wind would have long since become a tourist ruin.

This is why the Land of Wind dares to act so recklessly.

Chiga understood Tsunade's meaning: simply stalling would not solve the current predicament; it was necessary to take action and find an opportune moment.

Now that Tsunade has such a good helper as Chiga, she would never again treat Chiga as a messenger.

As the frontline commander, Tsunade was unable to participate in the battle, but fortunately, Sakumo Hatake was dispatched to serve as the deputy commander.

Otherwise, Konoha would have no chance against them in terms of high-end combat power.

Chiga retorted, "A spearhead team? Sounds more like a suicide squad, doesn't it?"

"No way, the First Elite Squad is centered around Senior Sakumo. You can't possibly think I'm using Senior Sakumo as cannon fodder!"

Tsunade said with a smile.

"Okay, how many people are there?"

Tsunade pondered for a moment, then said, "We don't have many ninjas on this battlefield. I can only allocate sixty Chunin or higher ninjas to you!"

"I want you and Sakumo-senpai to work together to destroy the Sunagakure frontline stronghold!"

"Then we'll gradually erode and shrink their territory!"

At this point, Tsunade explained helplessly, "Originally, there was no need to form a so-called second elite team, but every time Sakumo-senpai took action, he was blocked by Chiyo and Ebizo."

"With those two around, we become quite weak in destroying their strongholds."

Chiga nodded in understanding, then said, "I understand, but may I make a suggestion?"

"you say."

Tsunade replied.

Chiga stated frankly, "My team has too many people; let's streamline it!"

He doesn't really like forming a team with too many people.

"Streamlined? How many people do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade frowned, giving the impression that this boy had let her down.

He gritted his teeth and assigned sixty ninjas of Chunin rank or higher to this kid's command, but the kid still complained.

"Lady Tsunade, my fighting style is different from Uncle Sakumo's."

Seeing Tsunade's expression, Chiga explained, "As you know, in Sage Mode, ninjutsu is all about wide-ranging attacks, and its power is amplified several times over. With our ninjas involved in the battle, I can't go all out."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade suddenly realized what was going on.

Sakumo Hatake's fighting style is that of a technically skilled ninja.

To give an example, if the opponent had a hundred ninjas attacking at once, Hatake Sakumo would be forced to kneel, and might even die a terrible death.

However, if these hundred ninjas were to split into one or several groups and attack Hatake Sakumo in succession, Hatake Sakumo could cut them down with sparks and lightning, making them question their existence.

Therefore, the team centered around Hatake Sakumo does indeed need many ninjas to isolate the battlefield and give Hatake Sakumo room to perform.

As for Chiga

It's hard to say about Tsunade. She seems to be very versatile, but her biggest characteristic seems to be her preference for using large-scale ninjutsu, which she has enough chakra reserves to support.

She does resemble her great-grandfather somewhat.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Chika is already better than Sakumo Hatake.

If the two of them were to fight, Hatake Sakumo would be able to easily defeat Chiga.

As Tsunade was thinking this, she suddenly sensed something was off about Chiga's words and exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, what do you mean you're holding back? Do you intend to destroy their base all by yourself?"

"That's exactly what I meant!"

Chiga licked her lips and said excitedly, "I have a large-scale illusion technique that I've just developed to the second movement, but I don't have a test subject yet."

Tsunade said with displeasure, "Stop fooling around! This is war, not child's play. There's no time for you to test new ninjutsu!"

"Don't worry, Lady Tsunade, have you forgotten that my first movement was against the ninja who annihilated the Grass Fruit!"

"What? You wiped out those bunch of useless grass-fruit idiots?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's face also showed an extremely surprised expression.

At that time, she was still addicted to gambling and didn't pay much attention to major events in the ninja world, but she had heard that more than 400 ninjas of the Grassland had all died overnight.

As for who killed him, there is no accurate information yet; it is only known that it was someone from Konoha.

Tsunade initially thought it was a ninja of the Sannin level who had made a move, perhaps Orochimaru.

After all, that guy enjoys wiping out entire families and collecting material along the way.

But unexpectedly, it was Chiga who destroyed them.

"Didn't you know? Didn't Misa-senpai tell you? That's when I rescued her!"

Chiga was even more astonished than Tsunade.

"I didn't ask in detail!"

Tsunade blushed slightly. At that time, she was still addicted to gambling, and if it weren't for Kushina's request, she wouldn't have been so willing to accept Uzumaki Misa.

However, after hearing Chiga say this, Tsunade understood that the number of people was completely unimportant to Chiga.

If Chiga's technique can be activated, then the destruction of the base is possible.

only.

Tsunade frowned and asked, "Are you sure? The Sand Village isn't made of fools!"

"Even if we can't wipe out the Sand Ninja at their stronghold, we might still use them as a mobile force to annoy them a bit."

"Moreover, if there are only a very small number of people, we can escape using my Flying Thunder God Technique if we are surrounded."

Chiga didn't give a definitive answer, but simply offered Tsunade another perspective.

"Heh, you're pretty cunning, aren't you!"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade understood Chiga's plan. Chiga's idea was to plant a needle in the Sand Village's territory, but the Sand Village couldn't find the needle!

After considering for a moment, Tsunade said in a deep voice, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll give you a chance to demonstrate!"
