As a mature politician, the Third Hokage naturally has much better control over the situation in the ninja world than Uchiha Tatsumi.
Therefore, Chen was very convinced of his situation analysis.
To sum up, nowadays, Sunagakure is busy engaging in internal struggles, Kirigakure is leveling up like crazy in the novice village, Kumogakure is an old bastard, Iwagakure does not trust his teammates... In this war that affects the entire ninja world, all four villages respective problems.
But there are always solutions to problems.
As the Third Hokage said, war can divert all conflicts, and the object of the shift is precisely Konoha, which is known as the source of all evil.
Konoha is very strong, and even at the king level, it can move like a snake... But even shouting Poyin can't cover up one thing, Konoha can't easily beat four, or even beat five.
The only one who could do this was the first Hokage, known as the "Ip Man" in the ninja world, but this "man who could fight ten" had grass on his grave that was more than a foot high.
Taizu's art of war says: Concentrate superior forces and annihilate the enemy one by one.
This is the current strategy of the Third Hokage. Although the number of ninjas sent to the Kingdom of Wind is not more than that of Sunagakure, in the eyes of the Third Hokage, they are still superior forces.
Who gave them the experience of defeating Sunagakure twice
Although they had just returned from Ryūchi Cave, Chen didn't have much time left. Early the next morning, after calling Mikoto, the two hurried to the gate of Konoha.
The number of Uchiha ninja accompanying him was very small... to put it more bluntly, there were only Tatsu and Mikoto.
Most of the entire family, except for the ninja who stayed behind as a guard, were sent to fight Kirigakure.
From a purely restraint point of view, the most suitable person to fight Kirigakure is actually the Hyuga clan with clairvoyance ability.
But the importance of the Byakugan is self-evident. Every battlefield requires ninjas from the Hyuga clan. If everyone is not divided enough, how can they all devote themselves to the Kirigakure battlefield
The next best thing is to let the Uchiha clan with Sharingan take the top spot.
After all, he is born with a high-definition dual-lens camera... his insight is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary ninjas.
At the gate of Konoha, a group of well-trained ninjas have been prepared there early. In addition, Jiraiya is also ready to go.
After not seeing each other for a few years, it was not just Tatsuya who became stronger, judging from the feeling of chakra, Jiraiya did the same.
Of course, the obscene smell that hits your face is getting stronger and stronger, and you can smell it from across the street.
"Haha, long time no see." Before Chen could say anything, Jiraiya laughed and said hello.
"The same goes for Mikoto. We haven't seen her for a few years and she has become a big girl. Please call me next time you go to Konoha Bathhouse to take a bath."
Some bad qualities really will not be polished away with the passage of time.
For such a shameless old gangster, Mikoto, who was following Chen, had no special expression. She just nodded lightly and said, "Okay, I will also call Tsunade-sama."
"...Haha, let's forget about calling Tsunade or anything. I still want to live for two more years."
Jiraiya touched his heart with lingering fear. There was a scar there. It was left many years ago, when he broke three ribs because he spied on Tsunade.
"Tsunade-sensei has come back too?" After some pleasantries, Chen asked.
"No." Jiraiya shook his head, "It should be soon."
"But your teacher Orochimaru, he has already led his ninja troops to the battlefield in the Kingdom of Wind. Along with him are my apprentices Minato and Sakumo."
This time Naoki did not accompany him. He was proficient in water escape ninjutsu and was sent to the Kirigakure battlefield earlier.
"You should have learned about the movements of other big countries from the third generation old man, but it is not detailed enough. Our next task is to spread these intelligence ninjas to the borders of each country.
After that, we will take the remaining ninjas to support the battle in the Kingdom of Wind from the other side. "
After the two chatted again, Jiraiya looked at the intelligence ninja troops that had been prepared, and then said loudly to these people:
"The Sandaime Hokage has already given you the specific mission. As a small escort force, I have no right to interfere with your mission and intelligence.
Similarly, other people are not allowed to interfere. Except for the information you take the initiative to send back to Konoha, don't trust anyone, even your companions.
Is it clear? "
"Clear!"
After everyone finished answering, a group of people quickly disappeared at the gate of Konoha, led by Jiraiya and Chen.
The strength of most of these intelligence ninjas is not very good. The only few who are stronger are only special jounin, but in terms of mobility, they are not even inferior to ordinary jounin.
"Why not let them go by themselves? Isn't it a little troublesome for us to take a detour to the Country of Grass?"
While driving at super high speed, Mikoto slowed down her speed until she was at the end of the line with Tatsu.
"Do you still remember our first mission in the Kingdom of Rain?"
Mikoto nodded. On that mission, they went to conduct intelligence reconnaissance, but they encountered the hunter from Iwagakure Village, and in the end they were almost wiped out.
"If you want to obtain more specific information, not only the intelligence gathering ability of an intelligence ninja, but also the hard strength of the ninja itself is also very important, but..." At this point, Chen lowered his voice.
"If you carefully observe the strength of the intelligence ninjas around you, you will find..."
Chen's voice continued to lower, so low that only Mikoto beside him could hear it.
“Most of these ninjas are at Chunin level, not much stronger than us back then.
Although those with high reconnaissance ability can predict danger in advance, if the difference in strength is too large, even if they are discovered in advance, the possibility of running away is not high.
That's what we were doing at the time, so..."
Chen did not continue, but after his explanation, Mikoto also understood.
Without their escort, these ninjas would probably have died before reaching the border.
Of course, even if they reach the border, not many of these ninjas will survive.
Those who survive will slowly transform into strong men, while those who die can only be regarded as cannon fodder.
After understanding, Mikoto did not speed up and return to her original position. Instead, she stayed beside Chen. The two of them kept the same speed and followed the team towards the border of Fire Country.
Such a busy yet peaceful time lasted until three days later, when Chen and Jiraiya separated their troops and sent them to several other major ninja countries.
Chen took the remaining ninjas and rested for a night in a small town on the edge of Grass Country, and then met up with Jiraiya and others who had hurriedly arrived.
Without saying anything else, the two teams directly entered the Kingdom of Wind.
"Next is the main battlefield!"
