As time went on and on, the speed of the entire team was not very fast. On the one hand, due to the transportation of supplies, some jounin instructors began to take advantage of their free time to train their own genin students.
The shortcomings of long years of war are finally beginning to show. The lack of combat power began to give birth to a large number of genin. Many of these genin are from civilians. They have a short learning period and have never seen blood. Some of them cannot even control chakra, so they are sent directly to the battlefield.
The role of these people is undoubtedly that of cannon fodder.
But even if you are a cannon fodder, you have to show your presence as a cannon fodder. You can't just die in vain, so the guidance of the Jonin is very necessary.
If you don't teach them at this time, when they go to the battlefield, once they start fighting, it will be a complete meal delivery rhythm.
But Orochimaru's side is much quieter.
He had only been a jounin teacher for a few months before he retired honorably, and Uchiha Tatsumi had completely taken over his duties.
Every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but smile. Having such a disciple is really something to be proud of. After all, who doesn't want to have a disciple who can dominate the ninjas of his generation
Finally, a few days later, the troops arrived at Rogge Town, the most remote town in the Country of Fire.
Of course, calling this a small town would be completely inaccurate. Since two years ago, the bandits who were entrenched here were cleared away, a large amount of materials were shipped from other parts of the Fire Country, and the place was rebuilt into a smaller Konoha.
Looking at the unfamiliar town in front of him, Uchiha Tatsu was also sighing. After all, this was the place where he performed his first mission. The hotel where he originally stayed had been demolished long ago.
After a little inquiry, I found out that a small part of the original residents of the town had moved to Daming Mansion, and more of them had gone to sea to become pirates. In just two years, many of them have become famous pirates. And this is also known as the place of beginning and end.
... ... ... ... ... .
When the troops left Rogge Town, as they got closer and closer to the battlefield, information on the battle situation on the front line and forward reconnaissance information continued to reach Orochimaru's hands every day.
If it was an urgent situation, he would call Tsunade over, and after the two discussed it, Orochimaru would pass on the solution.
During this period, he often called Uchiha Chen over to listen, and sometimes Orochimaru would even ask him for his opinion.
The meaning of cultivation can be said to be very obvious.
It's not about strength, but about the overall situation and strategic vision. Uchiha Tatsu's current strength still has a direction to go, and Orochimaru can no longer teach him much.
After all, when it comes to the Sharingan, if Orochimaru really wants to say that he knows it, wouldn't it be a slap in the face
So he simply didn't mention it, and instead began to cultivate Uchiha Tatsu's qualities in command and strategy.
You can train your own strength, but how to fight, how to command, and how to deal with emergencies require someone to guide you.
War and combat are completely different. It does not mean that you can win a war if you are strong. The only ones who can do that kind of thing are beings like the first generation and Madara. Therefore, if you want to become a qualified commander, you must study hard.
So I have to say that Orochimaru has good intentions. He had already set his sights on the next ninja war. At that time, Uchiha Tatsu would also shoulder the important task of Konoha commander, because not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of command, he was several times ahead of his peers.
While Tsunade lamented that Orochimaru had indeed taken on a good apprentice, she also began to wonder if she should also find an apprentice to pass on her medical ninjutsu.
Although she passed on her strange power to Uchiha Tatsumi, no one has inherited the medical ninjutsu yet...
As for Kato Dan, it's not nice to say that he should stay where he can to cool off. She is not in the mood to fall in love yet. If it were a peaceful era, she might not mind.
Tsunade's idea made Orochimaru a little disappointed. He couldn't explain why, but he just wanted Tsunade to find someone to marry before Jiraiya came back.
In this way, Jiraiya would be able to give up.
It's just a pity...
... ... ... ... ... ...
Just like this, without realizing it, the team transporting supplies finally crossed the border of the Country of Fire and began to walk on the territory of the Country of Sichuan.
The country of Kawakawa and the country of rain have reached the level of bordering each other in terms of territory. After Konoha defeated the country of rain, the battle line shifted, just across the country of Kawakawa and drove straight into the territory of the country of wind.
It is indeed a bit sad that a small country is completely rootless in front of the huge machine of war. It is drifting but does not know when it will fall.
"Based on the intelligence coming back from the front line, Suna Ninja may launch a surprise attack on the material delivery team."
In the carriage, Orochimaru held an information book in his hand, and on the low table in front of him was a map of the ninja world filled with marks.
"Do they have enough troops to reach this stage now? I remember that they were defeated in the frontal battlefield a few days ago, right?"
Tsunade asked after looking at the information sheet handed over.
"Can they still tell people apart?"
Orochimaru shook his head and said: "No, this is the key to their two consecutive defeats. It can be seen from their two consecutive defeats the day before yesterday and yesterday that their manpower on the frontal battlefield can no longer organize an effective offensive. ”
Tsunade nodded: "Yes, then the Suna Ninja Village is even less likely to launch a sneak attack on the supply troops."
"That's not the case, Tsunade-sensei." Uchiha Tatsu began to explain at Orochimaru's signal.
"As you know, in the previous mission, we cut off the material transaction between Suna Ninja Village and Daming Mansion. Without such a transaction, Suna Ninja Village's already insufficient food reserves will become even more stretched. "
"And because of the geographical location of the Kingdom of Wind, their autumn harvest is much later than that of the Kingdom of Fire. It will be a month before they harvest food. So they must survive this month."
Uchiha Tatsu's words are very clear at this point. How does the Sand Ninja survive? The only option is to rob, even if we fight to give up a small part of the profits on the main battlefield, we must allocate troops to grab food.
Tsunade nodded: "So the possibility of this information?"
"At least 80% or more." Orochimaru put the information book in his hand on the map and said with certainty: "And the information passed to me from the main battlefield has been reviewed by Sakumo. This shows that he also agrees. The possibility of this price information.”
"The question is, how many ninjas can they send in this situation?"
Yes, how many ninjas can the Sand Ninja send out? If a dozen jounin were sent, this battle would not have to be fought.
But Orochimaru shook his head and said: "Not many."
"Because the Third Kazekage is likely to appear in this operation!"
Hearing this, Uchiha Tatsumi was stunned. Is this the so-called crow's mouth? (To be continued)
