#123 - Chapter 123: Tsunade: Pick Tianhao first at the beginning; Orochimaru: Tianhao-kun? Must be p

“Lord Jiraiya, Lord Minato.”

“I hope you can deal with Iwagakure.”

“The Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release is too troublesome. Being trapped by the barrier formed by Dust Release chakra will inevitably lead to death, even for ninjas with Kekkei Genkai. Only space-time ninjutsu can handle it.”

Seeing that Orochimaru had no objections, Nara Shikaku turned the topic to Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze:

“Especially you, Minato.”

“Based on intelligence analysis, Iwagakure has deployed the fewest Kage-level combatants among the three sides, and your Flying Thunder God Technique makes no distinction between Jonin and Genin before your chakra is exhausted.”

“Therefore, you and Lord Jiraiya must destroy Iwagakure's vital forces as quickly as possible, and then, taking Lord Jiraiya with you, use the Flying Thunder God to jump to the Kumogakure front line and unite with Lord Orochimaru.”

“It would be best if you could kill the Third Raikage, but even if you can't, you must defeat Kumogakure as soon as possible.”

“After that, rush to the Sunagakure front line and combine the three lines to defeat the strongest Sunagakure.”

Nara Shikaku made targeted arrangements based on intelligence from the three major ninja villages and the abilities of the Sannin and Minato Namikaze.

He satisfied the requirements of his superior, Hiruzen Sarutobi, by finding an easy target for Minato Namikaze to gain prestige, while also not offending Orochimaru, allowing him to establish authority and secure his position as the commander of the Anbu, and assigning the right people to the most suitable positions.

Jiraiya paired with Minato Namikaze, Orochimaru paired with Danzo.

Only such a combination could regard each other as confidants and cooperate sincerely.

Once reversed, whether Orochimaru was paired with Minato Namikaze, or Jiraiya was paired with Danzo, even if they didn't hold each other back, they would be wary of each other and unable to cooperate fully.

As Konoha's number one strategist, Nara Shikaku was meticulous and thorough in every detail.

Both the tactical arrangements and the personnel assignments were carefully considered.

“Finally, there's Sunagakure.”

“In terms of troop strength, Sunagakure has the fewest of the five major ninja villages, but even though Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law were killed by Lord Sayun, the number of Kage-level powerhouses still surpasses that of the five major ninja villages.”

“Among the three defense lines, Sunagakure is the most important and bears the greatest pressure.”

Speaking of Sunagakure, Nara Shikaku hesitated a little.

The last time they fought Sunagakure, Tsunade and Sakumo Hatake joined forces to face the siege of Sunagakure's many Kage-level powerhouses.

One healed thousands of troops, stabilizing the front line.

The other went alone to the meeting, beheading Sasori's parents from among the ten thousand troops.

The two cooperated fully, which collapsed Sunagakure.

Now, although Sunagakure is not deploying all its forces and sending out all its Kage-level combatants, but rather a probing attack, they will at least send out two or more Kage-level combatants.

On the other hand, Konoha not only lacks Sakumo Hatake, this sharp blade, but the Sannin are also at odds with each other, and are only one step away from falling apart.

One can imagine Tsunade's pressure.

“Blitzkrieg.”

Hinata Tenhao had been listening without participating in the discussion. Seeing Nara Shikaku's hesitant look, he understood.

Because of the existence of chakra in the ninja world, the personal combat power of ninjas is extremely strong, especially after reaching the elite Jonin level, they are all superhuman.

As for Kage-level powerhouses, they have almost broken away from the category of mortals. Not only are there almost no shortcomings, but their mobility is also extremely strong. They can form an army by themselves, and even change the course of a war with their own strength.

Therefore, the tactics of ninja world wars, whether assembling into an army or dividing troops, are all blitzkriegs.

It is rare for two armies to confront each other and fall into a stalemate.

Therefore, although food and supplies are important, they are not very important.

Just like the Fourth Ninja World War, it only took two or three days from the start to the end of the war. What food and supplies and logistical support were needed?

It was enough to carry a batch of soldier pills and blood replenishing pills. If it was really not enough, a batch of supplies would be sealed in the scroll using space-time ninjutsu.

“Everyone is clear about Sunagakure's consistent tactics. They are not like Kumogakure and Kirigakure, who like to divide their troops.”

“Because Sunagakure is good at using poison, especially Chiyo, who can poison thousands of troops at once. In order to kill the enemy more efficiently and with less damage, Sunagakure tends to assemble into an army and force the opponent to assemble into an army by advancing with a large army. But once the two armies confront each other, they often suffer large-scale poisoning.”

“The most troublesome thing is that the Land of Wind is sparsely populated, and most of its land area is desert. Even if we divide our troops to invade the Land of Wind and destroy it wantonly, it will not have much effect in a short period of time. On the contrary, because of the dispersion of troops, the Sunagakure army will drive straight in and enter the country.”

“Our Land of Fire is not comparable to the Land of Wind. It is economically developed, densely populated, and has many towns.”

Four words.

Unique.

“Tsunade, what do you need?”

“Anything Konoha has, I can give you.”

“Ninjas, ninja tools, supplies, you can dispatch them at will.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he squeezed the pipe in his hand hard.

After Nara Shikaku's analysis, he also realized the seriousness of his killing Sakumo Hatake.

But regret was useless, and now he could only place his hope on Tsunade.

After all, apart from Sakumo Hatake, Tsunade is the only one in Konoha who is the most adept at dealing with Sunagakure.

“I want him.”

Tsunade turned her head and looked at Hinata Tenhao, who had not said a word since the meeting.

There was nothing to say.

Choosing Hinata Tenhao at the beginning was inevitable.

“Give me a hand.”

“Can you?”

Although in the ninja world war, even the clan leaders of ninja clans had to go to the battlefield in person except for Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade did not give an unquestionable order when facing Hinata Tenhao, but a respectful inquiry.

“I don’t seem to have a reason to refuse you, Lady Tsunade.”

Hinata Tenhao met Tsunade's gaze, and he could see a trace of desire in her eyes.

That's right.

Jiraiya had Minato Namikaze, and Orochimaru had Danzo.

Only Tsunade, looking back, was already alone.

“An 8-year-old boy goes to the battlefield, and the fire shadow consultants shrink at home.”

“Hehehehe.”

Seeing Hinata Tenhao agree without thinking, Tsunade raised the corners of her lips, her eyebrows smiled, and then glanced at the two cowardly consultants shrinking behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.

“……”

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were even more cowardly and didn't dare to beep.

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi had just said that as long as Tsunade spoke, he would give people, ninja tools, and supplies.

At this critical moment, as long as Tsunade insisted, they couldn't guarantee whether Hiruzen Sarutobi would send them to the Sunagakure battlefield.

“Tenhao-kun.”

Orochimaru saw this scene and secretly thought it was a pity.

In his opinion, Hinata Tenhao was definitely a must-choose combat power.

Unfortunately, he was one step late, and he also had Danzo and Root by his side, plus Tsunade had spoken, so he couldn't compete for it anymore.

“If he doesn’t die, Lady Tsunade will definitely rise.”

Everyone looked at Tsunade, then looked at Hinata Tenhao, and couldn't help thinking.

For ordinary ninjas, the ninja world war is a meat grinder, which can only be stirred with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and blood flowing into a long river, but for geniuses like Hinata Tenhao, it is a huge stage.

After experiencing the baptism and quenching of war, Hinata Tenhao is definitely no less inferior to Sakumo Hatake at the beginning, and may even surpass him.

Originally, among the Sannin, Tsunade was the weakest, but now, it is not necessarily the case.
