Konoha: Uchiha, I can become stronger by causing trouble

Tsunade looked straight at Nara Shikaku. Although the bun-haired boy in front of her was young, his strategic talent was indeed unmatched.

Nara Shikaku organized his words and said calmly:

"There are two reasons!"

"First, the Sand Ninja started the war because of the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, but their leaders were very smart and took advantage of the people's emotions, making them believe that the Third Kazekage was ambushed by our Konoha Village."

"At this point, the Sand Ninjas need a target to vent their anger on. Morale is at an all-time high!"

The Kage of a village is not only the de facto leader of a country, but in fact also the spiritual leader. The war of invasion of the Fire Nation by the Wind Nation was essentially to compete for territory and resources, but the reason given was to avenge the Third Kazekage.

This approach puts the Wind Kingdom on the side of morality.

Tsunade frowned after hearing this. It was precisely because of this that when she led her troops to the front line to counterattack the Sand Ninja, she encountered fierce resistance. Although she successfully forced the Sand Ninja to retreat, Konoha also suffered heavy losses.

After Nara Shikaku explained the first reason, he continued:

"Second, the Land of Earth has reached some kind of agreement with the Land of Wind. It can be said that there is no need to send ninjas to guard the border between the two sides. This has caused the Land of Wind to mobilize a lot of ninjas. It is basically mobilizing the entire country to fight against us."

Hearing this, Tsunade not only frowned, but also rubbed her eyebrows. The situation was actually much more serious than what Nara Shikaku said.

According to the latest intelligence from Konoha Village, the ninjas from the Land of Earth have gathered a large number of ninjas and appeared in the Land of Rain and the Land of Grass. It seems that they are preparing to invade the Land of Fire.

Even if she wanted to ask Sarutobi Hiruzen for reinforcements, she couldn't mobilize more ninjas.

On the contrary, the Kingdom of Wind can continuously provide support to the front line.

Tsunade asked, "Do you have any solution?"

Nara Shikaku said one word very firmly: "Drag!"

"Um?"

Nara Shikaku explained:

"In the Second Ninja War, the Wind Country was the defeated country. Every year, they need to supply a large amount of resources to our country. In addition, their logistics need to cross the River Country. The supply line is too long. They do not have the conditions to support a long-term war."

Tsunade nodded in agreement.

Nara Shikaku continued, "Moreover, I believe that the Land of Earth will never remain as quiet as the Land of Wind."

"The Third Tsuchikage of the Land of Earth, Ohnoki, is a very ambitious guy who wants to expand the territory of the Land of Earth."

If the Wind Country fails to achieve victory for a long time, once time has passed, it will show signs of fatigue. In addition, the grievances accumulated between the two countries during World War II are as deep as the sea. Compared with our Konoha, which is a hard bone to chew, he has no reason to give up the Wind Country, which is a piece of fat meat. "

"Ah!"

After hearing this explanation, Tsunade couldn't help but sneer. There were really no secrets between countries, nor were there eternal friends, only interests.

"Then let's do as you say. As for some of the details, go call those jonin over and we'll have a meeting to discuss it in detail."

"Yes, Tsunade-sama!"

Nara Shikaku bowed respectfully and then walked out of the command center.

After Nara Shikaku left, Tsunade looked at Team Chiga.

Chapter 156 Going to the Front Line

"You four."

Tsunade looked at Chiga and the other three, and for a moment she actually thought of her own brother.

When her brother Shengshu went to the battlefield, he was probably about their age.

War should have been kept away from children, but they were sent to the battlefield by a group of high-ranking officials whose hearts were corrupted by power and whose eyes were blinded by desire.

This has completely deviated from the original intention of her great-grandfather to establish Konoha Ninja.

"We have currently re-established a defense line on the border of the Fire Country. There are dozens of important strongholds along this line."

"You will be responsible for the transmission of intelligence and supply to ten of these strongholds!"

After thinking for a while, Tsunade gave Team Chiga a very easy and relatively safe mission.

Originally, she wanted to pull Shizune out of Chiga's team and put her in the medical department.

But doing so would undoubtedly disrupt the tacit understanding among Qianhe's team.

And Shizune is doing well under Chiga.

This little guy Qianhe is worthy of his title of Uchiha genius.

"Understood, Lady Tsunade!"

Chiga also gladly accepted Tsunade's arrangement.

"Okay, let's get down!"

Tsunade waved her hand and impatiently drove Chiga and the others out.

Following the 'delay' plan decided by Tsunade and Nara Shikaku.

After the Konoha ninjas drove the Sand ninjas out of the border of the Land of Fire, they switched from an offensive to a defensive stance.

For a while, the fierce fighting on the border seemed to ease a lot.

However, after the Sand Ninja realized Konoha's plan, they immediately adjusted their battle plan.

They began to send ninjas to infiltrate and learn about Konoha's front-line strongholds, apparently hoping to destroy the newly established defense line.

However, he was facing Tsunade's strict defense and the sharp knife of Hatake Sakumo.

Not only did the Sand Ninja fail to break Konoha's defense line, but they were defeated by the large army led by Hatake Sakumo.

If Chiyo, who was commanding from the rear, hadn't gone to the battlefield to save the situation, Hatake Sakumo would have almost scared the Sand Ninja out of his wits.

As a high-ranking official of the Sand Village, Chiyo became famous during the Second Ninja World War for her mastery of puppet manipulation.

It was no problem for Hatake Sakumo to stop Chiyo. In fact, every time Chiyo faced Hatake Sakumo, she needed to bring Ebizo with her to barely tie with Hatake Sakumo.

But Chiyo has another method that Hatake Sakumo does not have, and that is to use poison.

She would distribute her newly developed poison to her ninjas.

The various poisons made the Konoha ninjas afraid to fight. If Tsunade had not prepared the antidote in the rear in time, Konoha would have suffered heavy losses.

Although Chiyo and Tsunade have never met each other, they enjoy the battle of one making the poison and the other detoxifying it.

But this made life more difficult for the ninjas of Konoha, as they returned to the command post every few days, covered in poison and half-dead.

The situation suddenly fell into a stalemate.

In the Land of Fire, ten kilometers behind Konoha's defense line, Team Chiga was hiding behind a tree, using the lush branches and leaves to hide.

Qianhe imitated a few bird calls and then waited quietly.

Soon, a few bird calls were heard from a big tree opposite.

This was considered the signal for the Konoha ninjas to meet each other. After they exchanged bird calls of varying lengths, a team of Konoha ninjas emerged.

Chiga also appeared with Sarutobi Asuma and others, and then handed the scroll containing the sealed supplies from his arms to the other party, and exchanged the latest information with the other party's leading ninja.

The two sides didn't talk much and soon left each other, and the Hizashi team rushed to the next base.

The area that Chiga's team is responsible for is not the main battlefield, so Konoha's strongholds are somewhat scattered and thin, resulting in a large range of their activities, and therefore the chance of encountering infiltrating Sand Ninjas is greatly increased.

Before they arrived at the next stronghold, Chiga had already observed through the Sharingan that a team of Sand Ninjas appeared in front of them.

"Over there, there is a team of Sand Ninja, one Jonin and three Chunins."

Chiga turned to Sarutobi, Asuma and the other two and continued:

"This time, I will make it more difficult. I will only hold back the jonin, and leave the remaining three to Asuma and Hong. Shizune, you keep an eye on Asuma and Hong. If the two are defeated, provide support in time."

Although Qianhe knows that the safety of the team is the most important, he will not ignore the growth of his teammates. A ninja must go through life and death to achieve something.

Therefore, while transmitting information, if they encounter Sand Ninjas, Chiga will also choose whether to eat them based on their number and strength, so that Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune can have certain practical experience.

Sarutobi Asuma was surprised and asked, "Three Chunins, isn't this a bit difficult?"

"If you can't even handle three Chunins now, then you should change teams as soon as possible. My people can't say they can catch up with me, but they can't fall behind either!"

Qian He said coldly.

"Yes!"

Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi, and Shizune all responded, then followed Chiga with expressionless faces.

The cooperation between Chiga and the other three was very tacit. Under Chiga's guidance, they arrived at the side of the Sand Ninja team at a very fast speed.

This Sand Ninja team was already very careful in their stealth, but the Sharingan's observation ability still discovered them.

Qianhe found the right moment and rushed out first, blocking the leading Sand Ninja and kicking him in the chest.

After kicking the Sand Ninja away, he immediately followed and got entangled with the Sand Ninja.

Chiga did not kill the jonin at the first opportunity, but maintained a situation of equal strength or even weakness, and it seemed that she was barely holding the opponent back.

After all, if Chiga was too powerful, the Sand Ninja would see that their captain was dealt with as soon as they met him, so there would be no point in fighting and they would have no intention of fighting at all.

Chiga has to try hard to pretend to be the weaker party, and at the same time, she has to pay attention to Sarutobi, Asuma and the other two to prevent them from being in danger.

I felt a little tired for a while.

"I'm on it! Red, cooperate with me!"

Asuma Sarutobi put on the chakra blades with both hands, and the chakra in his body condensed on the chakra blades. He pushed his feet on the ground and rushed towards the Sand Ninja.

"Illusion: Narakumi no Jutsu!"

When Asuma Sarutobi started to act, Kurenai Yuhi had already formed seals with her hands. She let out a low shout, and in an instant used her most proficient illusion to cooperate with Asuma.

The two Sand Ninjas stood there without moving, as if they were controlled by Hong's illusion.

Seeing this, Asuma Sarutobi wielded a chakra blade glowing blue and slashed at the chest of one of the Sand Ninjas.

Clang!

After a crisp sound, Asuma Sarutobi's chakra blade slashed the Sand Ninja, but the Sand Ninja in front of him did not react at all.

"Nani?"

Asuma Sarutobi was stunned and immediately felt something was wrong, and immediately stepped back.

The Sand Ninja in front of him also began to transform, and his body began to make a 'cracking' sound.

Chapter 157 Team Members’ Battle

The Sand Ninja suddenly took off his clothes and turned into a puppet.

"The art of puppetry!"

Seeing this, Asuma Sarutobi quickly formed seals with his hands and then took a deep breath.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

In an instant, a fireball spewed out of Asuma Sarutobi's mouth and sprayed towards another Sand Ninja who was controlled by Kurenai Yuhi's illusion.

Asuma Sarutobi had no desire to attack the puppets. He understood that even if he got rid of this puppet, as long as the puppeteer was not dead, he would be able to summon a new puppet.

Therefore, the Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu was used on another Sand Ninja.

boom!

After an explosion, the unlucky Sand Ninja was the first to receive his lunch box.

However, Asuma Sarutobi's action also caused the remaining two Sand Ninjas to become furious. The chest of the humanoid puppet suddenly opened, and then countless Senbon spewed out from the dark hole.

At the same time, another burly Sand Ninja, who had not been affected by Yuhi Kurenai's illusion from the beginning, had now come to Yuhi Kurenai's side and was chopping at Yuhi Kurenai's head with a huge machete, without any thought of showing mercy.

Swish swish.

When Asuma Sarutobi saw the Senbon flying towards him, he also jumped on the branches to avoid it.

However, the thousands of books in the puppet's chest seemed endless, with no sign of stopping.

After dodging several times, Asuma Sarutobi was finally hit on the shoulder by a Senbon sword because of his carelessness.

When Asuma Sarutobi saw this, his face changed drastically.

This is how it is when fighting against the Sand Ninja. As long as your skin is slightly scratched by the opponent's weapon, it basically means that you have been poisoned.

Sure enough, in an instant, Asuma Sarutobi felt dizzy and weak all over, and fell directly from the tree.
