Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching...

It’s not that Konoha is stingy, but Konoha does not have many troops among the many ninja villages.

From the founding of Konoha to the present, there have been only more than 12,000 official ninjas in total.

Now the war in the ninja world has reached the Third Ninja World War. Due to the losses caused by years of war and the natural deaths of ninjas, there are really not many active ninjas in Konoha.

In other words, the number of ninjas in each village is confidential. Otherwise, if we make a ranking list of active ninjas, Konoha may be at the bottom of the five major ninja villages.

The other jonin were all shocked as well. They felt that they had never fought such a rich battle before, with as many as a thousand reinforcements.

"As expected of Teacher Mu Yue, he's even so good at lying." Seeing that no one on the field questioned him, Obito, who had been silent the whole time, gave a thumbs up to Mu Yue in his heart.

White Zetsu, who was disguised as Hinata Sha, also showed a look of surprise. He silently wrote down the information and prepared to pass it on later.

"We were dispersed before because we didn't have enough fighting power. We were worried that our location would be discovered and we would be wiped out. But now that a thousand ninja troops have come to support us, there is naturally no need to hide anymore." Jiraiya continued.

The jonins nodded in agreement. When it came to ninja troops of the same number of people, Konoha had never been afraid of anyone else.

"Which place do you think is suitable for meeting up with the support troops and serving as a temporary base?" Jiraiya began to brainstorm and collect ideas.

Each of the jonin studied the map carefully and expressed his own opinions.

After the battle meeting was over, Jiraiya reminded with a serious look:

"There may be spies among our troops now, the contents of the meeting must not be leaked!"

When Jiraiya was assassinated by Sarutobi Jonin, not many people saw it, and Jiraiya deliberately concealed the news. So far, the ninja troops do not know that the failure was caused by a spy.

The jonin in the tent all had solemn expressions on their faces.

"Don't be too nervous. Those who I have called to attend this meeting are all ninjas you can trust." Jiraiya said with a smile.

"As long as nothing unexpected happens, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory this time."

The jonins looked at each other and all felt that what Jiraiya said was correct. Most of the jonin gathered here were from the Shinobi clan, or old jonin who had worked hard and made great contributions. There was no way there could be spies.

As long as nothing happens to this group of people, the news won't leak out, and there won't be any accidents.

"I really want to cancel the transformation technique and let them watch it. It will definitely be very interesting." Bai Zetsu laughed wildly in his heart.

Hinata Shashi is indeed a trustworthy ninja, but the one present is not Hinata Shashi, but his White Zetsu!

Of course, White Zetsu just thought about it normally, as he still had to complete the task of transmitting information.

But it doesn't matter if he can't reveal his true identity now. He will wait until Jiraiya and the others are surrounded and in desperate situation. He will laugh loudly at them before running away.

After the meeting, the ninjas dispersed, including Jiraiya and Muyue.

However, after leaving, Jiraiya, Muyue and Namikaze Minato quickly escaped and used shadow clones to disguise themselves. Finally, the three of them met again in a hidden place.

The meeting just now was used to confuse White Zetsu. The real combat meeting had ended long ago, and there were only three of them participating.

"The bait is ready. Now it depends on whether the Iwagakure ninja will take the bait." Jiraiya said as he looked towards the northwest where the Iwagakure ninja was.

In order to deceive the spies, very few people knew the real battle plan. Apart from Mu Yue Jiraiya and their disciples, only the senior leaders of the support forces knew about it.

"According to the current intentions shown by Iwagakure, they definitely want to wipe out the Konoha troops from the Land of Grass in one fell swoop. They will definitely take the bait, and it will not be easy even for us to eat this big fish." Namikaze Minato thought.

The thousand-man support force that Mu Yue mentioned was just a lie to lure Iwagakure into taking the bait. In fact, the support force and Jiraiya's force together only had 1,200 ninjas.

Minato Namikaze didn't know the exact number of ninjas on the Iwagakure side, but based on the current number, there must be more than 1,800 ninjas, at least 600 more than Konoha.

Six hundred is a lot of ninja units, enough to form an army.

"After all, the overall situation is still unfavorable to us. It will definitely be difficult to annihilate them all. Let's try to eliminate half of them." Mu Yue said after thinking for a while.

Jiraiya nodded in agreement and said, "Half is already a good number. If this is reported back to Iwagakure, it will be enough to make Ōnoki sad for a long time."

Half of eighteen thousand is nine hundred. The resources needed to train nine hundred qualified ninjas are enormous.

"If you defeat the Four-Tails Jinchuriki this time, you will be the real number one of the younger generation of Konoha!" Jiraiya patted Mu Yue's shoulder and said with a smile.

During the combat meeting, Mu Yue volunteered, saying that he had made a great breakthrough in water jutsu recently, and that he alone was enough to deal with the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the ninjas who protected the Four-Tails.

"Minato, you also need to work harder. Why don't you go to Myoboku Mountain to study Sage Mode?" Jiraiya then patted Minato Namikaze on the shoulder again.

Namikaze Minato looked helpless, "Teacher Jiraiya, please stop joking. How can I make it in time now? Besides, didn't Sennin Fukasaku tell me last time that my chakra training is not enough?"

As Sage Mode is a special skill that can enhance ninja abilities in all aspects, Namikaze Minato naturally wants to learn it. However, learning Sage Mode itself requires powerful chakra.

However, Minato Namikaze has not yet met the standard of "powerful chakra".

"Insufficient chakra is a fatal flaw. Otherwise, with your talent, Minato, under great pressure, you might really be able to learn it quickly." Jiraiya said, touching his chin.

It took him a long time to learn Sage Mode.

However, Jiraiya's situation was special. When he was learning the Sage Mode, he did not stay in Myoboku Mountain for special training. Instead, he practiced whenever he had time, and the overall practice time was not particularly exaggerated.

Of course, compared to someone as cheating as Uzumaki Naruto, Jiraiya did spend a lot more time.

……

"The feeling is quite different from the last time I came here." Obito complained in a low voice while leaning against a tree and looking at the sky with a bored look on his face.

Although it is the same ninja team, their spirit and energy are much worse than in the previous mission.

"After all, it was a heavy defeat," Kakashi replied.

"Hey, Kakashi, why aren't you asleep yet?" Obito looked at Kakashi who was sitting on the branch in surprise.

They had to move again soon, so they just found a random place to sleep.

"So why didn't you sleep?" Kakashi asked back.

Obito scratched his head, and finally said honestly: "I am a little concerned about the spies in the army, and the atmosphere of the army this time."

Obito has been through a lot now, but the unit he's in has never suffered a major defeat, nor has there been any incident of Konoha ninjas rebelling and becoming spies.

"Actually, there's no need to care. Since they've become spies, no matter what the reason, they're already enemies of Konoha. As for the atmosphere of the troops, as long as you win a big victory, the familiar feeling will return." Kakashi said lightly.

"Oh." Obito wanted to say that what he really cared about was not the appearance, but the essence revealed after the incident.

But he didn't know how to describe it, so he could only scratch his hair and sigh.

"So Kakashi why aren't you sleeping?"

Obito remembered that Kakashi hadn't answered his question yet.

"I'm worried that you might accidentally leak the information, so I'm keeping an eye on you." Kakashi answered without any concealment.

The information they possess is not as comprehensive as that of Mu Yue Bo Feng Shui Men, but they are also the group that possesses the most information besides them.

Obito's face darkened and he wanted to scold Kakashi, but then he remembered that it was late at night, so he could only swallow his words and glared at Kakashi.

"You damned evil bastard! How dare you look down on me like this?" A glare was not enough to vent his anger, so Obito cursed again in his mind.

In order to prove his ability to keep secrets, Obito fell asleep.

After Obito fell asleep, Kakashi opened the transparent world and observed his surroundings, then soon closed his eyes.

PS: There will be another chapter later, but the time is uncertain, so it is recommended to read it tomorrow.

Anyway, you will definitely see it tomorrow.

Chapter 570: The Hope of the Famous Ninja World

"Lord Iwaku, our Anbu has obtained the latest important intelligence about the Konoha ninja forces!"

A Iwagakure jonin entered the tent where Iwagakure was located with a look of joy on his face to report the latest results.

"Important information?" Yanku, who had fallen asleep, sat up quickly again.

What can be called important intelligence is generally information that can have a significant impact on the battle situation. The last time Iwagakure was able to achieve a surprise victory, it was because they knew the location and deployment of Konoha's main forces.

"That's right. We not only got the news of Konoha's reinforcements, but also got Konoha's next battle plan." The Iwagakure Jonin said excitedly.

With this information, he seemed to see an unprecedented victory just around the corner.

"Let me see it." Yanku's curiosity was aroused.

Because of his serious injuries, Lishi was sent to the rear after emergency treatment, and now he is in charge of the Iwagakure troops.

Of course, he was only the acting commander, and he would have to give up his position when Lieshi recovered from his injury and returned to the battlefield.

After taking the intelligence scroll, Yanku quickly opened it to read the information contained therein.

"The Konoha reinforcement vanguard troops, led by Hanyu Muyue, have joined forces with the Konoha Grass Country troops. The reinforcement troops sent by Konoha total one thousand people. In addition to the elite vanguard troops that arrived first, there are still nine hundred and fifty ninjas heading towards the Grass Country..."

With every line of text that Yan Ku read, the light in his eyes became brighter.

After carefully reading all the information, Iwaku wanted to laugh out loud.

This was a godsend opportunity. His superior, Reishi, happened to be away, and he happened to have obtained important information about the Konoha troops.

"Even if we only kill a thousand ninjas, it will be a victory worth celebrating!" Iwaku raised the corner of his mouth.

The remnants of Jiraiya plus the reinforcements from Konoha should have at least 1,600 ninjas. As long as he kills two-thirds of them, he will be able to achieve a great victory that will be reported to the entire Iwagakure Village.

And since he performed so well, the deputy in front of the commander could naturally be removed.

After removing the agent, he can continue to command the two thousand Iwagakure troops on the battlefield and perform meritorious deeds on the battlefield.

In the end, his status in the Iwagakure Village might even be higher than that of Reishi, and he might be nominated as a candidate for the Fourth Tsuchikage.

Thinking of this, Yanku could no longer suppress the corners of his mouth that were raised.

The Tsuchikage, one of the five great Kage, is the true pinnacle of the ninja world, an existence that no one can ignore.

"Call together the jonin in the army and start a combat meeting!" Iwaku ordered the one who notified the Iwagakure.

If it was Liesi, maybe it could be arranged with just a single order. However, his prestige in the Iwagakure troops was not that strong, so he had to hold a meeting first to gain their support.

Although it was sleeping time, the ninjas had all undergone special training and would not sleep very deeply. Some of the Iwagakure jonin did not even need to be called and would wake up naturally when they heard the noise outside.

Inside the special tent for meetings, after all the Iwagakure jonin arrived, Iwakura began the meeting.

Iwaku first had an Iwagakure ninja read out all the information, and then he spoke:

"Everyone, tell me what you think."

"Get ready for war! Now that we have obtained such information, we should wipe out all the Konoha troops in one go!" Huoguang said directly.

He even knows the color of Konoha's underwear. It would be such a waste if he doesn't take action.

"Of course we should attack." The other Iwagakure jonin responded one after another.

Iwaku nodded in his heart. As he thought, with such important information in hand, no one would choose to avoid a fight.

"My idea is the same as yours. We must not only fight, but also use this opportunity to completely defeat Konoha's Grass Country defense line and enter the Fire Country mainland." Iwaku said with a smile.

He holds a high position in the Iwagakure and knows that the top leaders of the Iwagakure tend to be conservative and low-key.

Penetrating into the Fire Nation's homeland was certainly not a low-key move, but this war was also an order from the Iwagakure high-ups, allowing them to fight with all their might, so Iwagakure could focus on gaining military merit without worrying about it.

“But we have to fight in an organized way. Even if their reinforcements arrive, we still have the advantage in numbers, but it would be better if we could defeat them one by one.

We have to destroy the Konoha Grass Country troops before the main force of the support troops arrives, and then destroy the support troops." Iwaku began to talk about his attack plan.

The intelligence submitted contained a detailed plan for the Konoha Grass Country Ninja Force to join forces with the Konoha support force.

Iwakura's plan was approved by most of the Iwagakure, so they began to discuss how to fill in the gaps.

There is also an Iwagakure ninja who has a wild idea and suggests immediately gathering troops to launch a surprise attack on the Konoha ninja troops.

However, this decision was not recognized because it takes time to transmit information and it also takes time to travel, and the information included news that the Konoha Ninja Force would go to bed early and get up early tonight to travel.

If we go there now, there is a high possibility that we will come back empty-handed, or even expose their intentions. If the Konoha Ninja Force temporarily changes their plan because of this, it will be a waste of time and effort.

"This is their second planned temporary resting place." Yanku pointed to a deep forest with a small river on the map.

"Their plan was to wander around during the day and take a short break at night before continuing on their journey, in order to confuse our sight.

Then we will use their own strategy to counterattack. We will rush over now and lurk around to wait for them. Whether they arrive early or on time, they will face us who are ready for battle."

The reason why Iwaku believed the information as soon as he saw it was that it was the real information within the Konoha Ninja Force.

On the one hand, they trust their own intelligence ninjas. After all, they have just made great achievements.

On the other hand, there is the specific content of the intelligence. The intelligence not only contains content about how to deal with spies, but also content about confusing the Iwagakure ninja troops. No matter how possible Iwagakure is, this is also a serious piece of intelligence.

Iwakuni would probably never have imagined that Muyue and Jiraiya tricked a bunch of Konoha jonin into holding a fake meeting just to trick them.

Because the intelligence was too abundant, there was not much room for maneuver in the combat meeting and the specific combat plan was quickly determined.

"You never know your own strength until you actually fight it. I didn't expect that our Iwagakure's intelligence department is so much stronger than Konoha's." An Iwagakure jonin said with a relaxed smile.

Anyone who has a little common sense knows who is in control on the battlefield. Is Konoha's defeat due to the fact that their troops are far stronger than the Konoha ninja troops?
