As the village that first fought against Konoha, Sunagakure's every move naturally attracted much attention from the shinobi world.
But this kind of attention does not make them feel glorious, because other countries are waiting for Konoha to beat Sunagakure, and then evaluate Konoha's current military strength.
The result was as expected, Konoha was still invincible, and Sunagakure was still useless.
According to intelligence statistics, two thousand ninjas were lost in the battle of Sunagakure, three fortresses were lost in a row, and the battle line was pushed forward hundreds of miles;
The young generation like Orochimaru and Sakumo who emerged during the Second Ninja War are still extremely strong;
Uchiha Tatsu, a genius who had long been considered to be on the same level as the Sannin, was even more popular at the same time and achieved tremendous military exploits;
The next generation of ninjas, such as the trio of Minato, Mikoto, and Inokacho, have also begun to show their talents and come into the eyes of the world.
Konoha is worthy of being the hegemon of the five great nations and the cradle of genius!
This strong performance also allowed other villages that had been watching on the sidelines to dispel their last bit of luck: If the four major powers cannot unite, Konoha will ultimately win this war!
Suddenly, the border was turbulent, and even Yunyin Village, which had been "mobilized" for almost three months, couldn't hold it anymore and began to send troops to the Kingdom of Fire.
Other countries were constantly moving, but the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind, where a fierce war was fought, was eerily quiet.
Sunagakure Village huddled in the fortress and did not dare to come out. At most, they only sent out a small group of ninjas to harass Konoha every day.
Orochimaru did not launch a massive attack, but chose to cultivate.
So during this period, Chen resumed his daily patrol in the designated area, patrolling the empty areas of the defense line, monitoring the movements of the Sunagakure ninja, and preventing small groups of enemies from infiltrating.
In this calm situation, Chen received the call back from Orochimaru.
When he returned to the frontline camp, he immediately saw Jiraiya who looked like a Wangfu stone.
But Jiraiya was not waiting for Minato, but after seeing Chen return, his eyes instantly lit up.
He first said hello to Mikoto and Minato, and then he couldn't wait to pull Chen's sleeve and asked: "I heard that Orochimaru said that you learned the sage mode?"
During the war, this guy was sent to other places to perform S-level missions. He didn't come back until recently, and therefore missed Chen's performance.
"I did learn it."
"Really? Then enter one and let me see." Jiraiya seemed to have seen the women's bathroom, his eyes glowing with excitement.
"Right here? Orochimaru-sensei said that the sage mode needs to be kept secret."
So far, apart from Orochimaru, the only people who have seen the Sage Mode are the Luosha trio. If it is used in public now, the spies in other villages will definitely know about it.
Jiraiya nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, come to my tent tonight, and we can discuss and discuss, for example... what posture can help you get into the state faster."
“…”
Chen suspected that Jiraiya was sexually harassing him, but... he had no evidence.
But does this require evidence
Although from the known information, Jiraiya's sexual orientation is normal, but in view of his inappropriate relationship with Orochimaru, coupled with the suggestive words... Chen felt that it would be better for him not to go tonight .
After thinking about this, he sighed and said, "You guys chat first, I'll go find Mr. Orochimaru."
This time he came back because he was recalled by Orochimaru, so there must be some special mission.
After Chen walked into the central tent, he found that Orochimaru was the only one inside.
After the two of them greeted each other, Orochimaru didn't waste any time and got to the point.
"According to the spy report, the Third Kazekage is preparing to bring 70% of the ninjas in Sunagakure Village to the front line."
"What, 70%?" Chen was a little unbelievable.
"Yes, the Third Kazekage is ready to make a desperate move to drag us into the Kingdom of Wind."
Chen narrowed his eyes and asked: "But we only have two thousand ninjas now, and we can't resist so many enemies."
Orochimaru nodded, "The village has sent two thousand ninjas, and they will arrive in the Kingdom of Wind in a while."
"That's four thousand...but the number is only half of the number."
"This is the limit of what the village can send." Orochimaru sighed, and then
Pointing to the war map on the desktop, he continued:
“In the past six months, we have fought against Sunagakure and Kirigakure respectively, but both Iwagakure and Kumogakure have stood still.
But after this battle, according to reports from the reconnaissance ninja, Iwagakure had begun to take action. In Kumogakure Village, two thousand ninjas, led by the son of the Third Raikage, began to rush to the front line.
Troops have to be mobilized everywhere, and some ninjas have to be stationed in the village. Now we can only squeeze out this few troops. "
With the full outbreak of the war, Konoha's disadvantage has gradually been revealed, that is, the lack of military strength!
Four fronts need to be defended at the same time. No matter how many ninjas there are in Konoha, the number of people allocated to each front is extremely limited.
In other words... On every front, Konoha is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.
If it were another village, it would probably explode on the spot, but as the leader of the five major nations, Konoha naturally has its own heritage.
The most basic thing is that the quality of Konoha ninjas is much higher than that of other villages. This is also the reason why it can be maintained.
However, even this cannot last long, and the Kingdom of Wind must open up the situation as soon as possible.
This is also the reason why Orochimaru called Tatsu back, because in sage mode, he can be regarded as the station's highest combat power, even Sakumo is far inferior.
"By the way, who is the commander who fought against Yunyin?" Chen asked curiously.
He knew from the other fronts that the Kumo ninja had just attacked, so naturally the commander had to be dispatched from the village.
Could it be Tsunade who has been missing all this time
"It's Danzo. He has been discussing a new agreement with Hanzo during this period. He was relatively close and took over the frontline command directly."
"Danzo... can he do it?"
In Chen's memory, Danzo was firstly the dark side of Konoha, and secondly he liked to get external equipment and get himself some modifications such as red eyes and white blood cells.
This kind of person is good at conspiracy and undermining Konohaism, but directing wars...
Orochimaru shook his head: "Don't look down on him. How many people who came through the first ninja war are easy to get along with
The three advisors, including the Third Hokage, have all commanded wars, especially your Aunt Koharu, who is not inferior to Nara Shikakumo in terms of strategy. "
Holding the grass, is it so cheating
But think about it, after the first ninja war, after the death of the Second Hokage, the people who supported the village were Sarutobi Hiruzen and his friends who were still young people at the time
"But I still feel that Danzo is not strong enough. Are you sure you are his opponent to the Third Raikage?"
"The Third Raikage will not go to the battlefield for the time being, and Danzo is proficient in Wind Release and has natural restraint against Thunder Release."
Chen didn't speak, but he felt a little disapproving in his heart.
In the Thunder Release Chuck mode, even the Wind Release Rasengan can't be penetrated. Danzo's Wind Release Rasengan is useless.
Moreover, Danzo’s commanding ability is not mentioned for the moment, but his combat IQ is definitely not a joke
You said that your combat ability has become weaker as you age, which is understandable, but combat IQ will not slowly decline over time.
The battle between Danzo and Sasuke is enough to show how low the pot king's combat IQ is.
Wood Release, Sharingan... These are the two top configurations in Hokage. Danzo actually used it as a substitute technique and developed a death flow. Can you believe it? !
You think you are a Thain!
