Chapter 496 The coming confrontation between the two sides

But even if you want to severely damage Konoha Hidden Village.

The general will not choose to take the initiative. Konoha's strategy is clearly to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, use the territory of the Earth Kingdom to suppress them, and even invade the hinterland of Iwagakure Village to force the main frontline forces to enter the Kingdom of Wind.

The army retreated back.

In other words, even if Shoji stays where he is, digging a hole and waiting for the other side to come, Konoha's side will definitely jump in.

Don't talk about dividing your troops to go around and attack behind.

The power shown by Shoji in the previous battle with Kumogakure Village has frightened the entire ninja world. Once the troops are divided, less will not be effective, and more will definitely affect the frontline area.

And don't forget that there are currently four tailed beasts in Iwagakure Village. Two of them have already appeared on the frontline battlefield of Sunagakure Village to kill the Suna ninjas. Of the remaining two, there is no telling who is involved.

Fight against the Kumo ninja on the eastern front, or stay on the southeastern front to deal with their Hidden Leaf Village!

Among them, the eight-tailed one is the most terrifying one.

As Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has experienced fighting against the Third Raikage before, after two comparisons, you can clearly judge how strong the Eight-Tails will be in its complete form!

If you divide your troops.

Without a truly top-notch leader.

The Eight-Tails can easily sweep this army, and now Konoha is no longer as talented as before. There can be several top Kage-level experts to lead the army to face the enemy. The generals are already very scary!

Coupled with these factors, Konoha's side was so confused that they chose to divide their forces for a sneak attack.

And this is something that the general can easily understand.

Therefore, we arrived at the border location one step ahead of Konoha.

The general immediately issued an order to stay on the spot, and asked the barrier team and sealing team to immediately build a more stable barrier.

After all, although he is strong, he cannot really take care of all aspects. He just wants to use these methods in all aspects to consume the enemy's chakra as much as possible, reduce the pressure on his own personnel, and reduce unnecessary battle losses!

Under the command of the general, the Iwa ninjas quickly deployed a defensive formation and built a defense line. At the same time, in the southeast corner.

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

"Whoosh"

"Da da da da!"

"Whoosh"

"Da da da!"

A raging crowd suddenly appeared, and the subtle earth vibrations that came from it were enough to prove the large number of this crowd.

A gathering of clusters.

Especially the pervasive fluctuation.

This was the Konoha army commanded by Jiraiya. Following Hiruzen Sarutobi's previous orders, he quickly mobilized three or four thousand troops from the village. After joining the border garrison, they also headed directly towards the soil.

The country is advancing.

It is also the moment when we come to this close point area.

"Jiraiya-sama!"

The Anbu investigators who had collected the corresponding information in advance also reported the collected information on the movements of the Iwa Ninja army to Jiraiya in the shortest possible time.

"It's so fast. It seems that Yanyin Village is really prepared this time, and it still chooses to stay on the spot!? It can really be done!"

After seeing the contents of this piece of information, Jiraiya couldn't help but reveal a complicated look on his face.

Shikaku, who was following Jiraiya closely, also showed a stern expression at this moment. It must be said that this time, the judgment made by General Onoki to restart the war was also beyond that of Konoha.

The military advisor's expectations.

Although judging from various previous behaviors and signs, Shikaku can still tell that the ambitions of the Iwagakure Village are definitely more than that. Shoji, the newly appointed Fourth Tsuchikage, belongs to that kind of ambitious people.

people.

At a certain point in the future, war will definitely start again.

But it will definitely be launched after being fully prepared. For example, they have previously detected many military scientific research including chakra armor!

With all three villages starting research and development at the same time, Shikaku's analysis of the time from this information shows that it will be at the beginning of next year that Iwagakure Village will be able to regain its momentum, or even two or three years.

Nothing is impossible.

Shikaku also feels that this is the best time for their Hidden Leaf Village to grow!

However, this has only been more than half a year, and all previous judgments will have to be made over again!

Like the Chiyo elder in Sunagakure Village, Shikaku also 100% believes that something decisive must have happened in the past six months to advance this time!

What kind of huge change is it!?

Can Yanyin Village no longer worry about the combined power of three or even four villages to forcefully send troops!?

However, no matter which aspect Lu Jiu considered, he could not come up with a correct answer. And because of this, Lu Jiu's heart became heavier and heavier.

Even before sending troops.

Deep in his heart, Shikaku had a vague premonition that their Konoha Hidden Village was likely to suffer disaster, but firstly, Shikaku could not change the Third Hokage's determination, and secondly, from the general situation, it was indeed true to send troops to rescue Sunagakure Village.

is the most correct judgment.

But as the large army moved closer and closer to the Kingdom of Earth, the gloom in Shikaku's heart became more intense.

Various past experiences.

Especially the attitude shown by Shoji Uchiha.

Shikaku never minds that he views this contemporary Uchiha Shura with the utmost estimation. Almost every action he takes is based on planning and then taking action, including the earlier collision of three villages. If it were not for Kumogakure Village,

I was thoughtful and tricked the village of Iwagakure.

Konoha might have to pay a heavier price that time.

You must know that the condition proposed by the Iwagakure Village is to make Konoha hand over Shimura Danzo, although everyone knows that this condition is impossible to establish.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But in this process, Konoha will definitely bleed heavily.

In the subsequent draws, the Ninja Village paid a heavy price. If it were a serious defeat, the result would be several times more disastrous!

Shikaku had the same premonition this time.

And as we get closer to the front of the dot matrix, this kind of emotion is about to reach the critical point!

It seems to explode when touched.

This is a look that is rare to see on Shikaku.

"What do you think? Shikaku?"

Jiraiya on the side obviously didn't notice the change in Shikaku's mentality. After reading the information, he turned to look at the Ninja Village think tank whom both generations of Hokage trusted and relied on, and asked very seriously.

"Yes, Lord Jiraiya, although saying this may hurt morale a little, we have no other choice but to attack by force. Iwagakure Village can drag it down, but we can't. The information came from the Kingdom of Wind

It has been proven that the Sand Ninja cannot withstand the attack of the main force of the Iwa Ninja. After the defeat at the border, the second line of defense was easily broken through. Now only the last main force led by the Kazekage himself is left. Once the decisive battle takes place,

If we are defeated, the entire Sunagakure Village will be directly destroyed. Although this is unbelievable, judging from the situation of the Iwa Ninja, there is not much time left for us!"

Shikaku looked directly at Jiraiya, nodded heavily, and said in a very serious tone.

"Ah, that's right!"

This principle.

Jiraiya also understood that he knew very well that the moment he sent troops to his ninja village, he had no choice. Of course he could stick to one side, but that choice would probably lead to slow death.

"Then don't have any hesitation and launch an attack immediately. Leave that fourth-generation Tsuchikage to me. I will try to delay him as much as possible. The rest can only be left to you to coordinate the arrangements, Lu.

Long!"

Jiraiya looked at Shikaku with bright eyes and said.

With the power that Shoji showed on the battlefield against Kumo Ninja more than half a year ago, Jiraiya did not think that he would have any possibility of defeating Shoji, even if he entered Sage Mode!

A fierce man who can fight against the Fourth Raikage who has been transplanted with Byakugan, and who is completely eight-tailed.

And the final result was a strong victory over the opponent.

Jiraiya can still carry it clearly.

But Jiraiya is also confident that he can hold off for a while. As long as the large force can complete the encirclement and suppression of other Iwa ninjas, he can force the general to choose to cover the main force and retreat. In this way, their Konoha army can advance.

Go down!

Of course, the general also has another option, which is to stay forcibly and fight against the entire Konoha ninja army.

Expand like that.

It was the Konoha side, or to be more precise, it was the result that Hiruzen Sarutobi was willing to see, even if it cost thousands of casualties, as long as the dangerous figure Uchiha Shoji was completely left behind.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that everything was worth it!
