#127 - Chapter 127 Chiyo: In this battle, Sunagakure will win!

“You should have heard about it too. My son and daughter-in-law died by the White Fang's blade.”

“After that battle, I reviewed it countless times with Lord Kazekage, and found two reasons for Sunagakure's defeat.”

“First, it was the White Fang. He killed my son, Akasuna, and my daughter-in-law, Mo Xie, leaving Sunagakure without a leader and demoralized.”

“Second, it was Princess Katsuyu. She obtained Xu Fu Mountain herbs and cured Sunagakure's hundreds of poisons, causing our Sunagakure to fall short of success.”

In the dim rain, Chiyo's expression became unusually ferocious, even colder and more piercing than the constant heavy rain in the Rain Country.

“Fortunately, heaven blesses Sunagakure.”

“The White Fang is dead! The blade that was hanging over our Sunagakure's neck was broken by Konoha themselves.”

“Now, only Princess Katsuyu remains, already struggling alone. As long as we take Xu Fu Mountain again, even if Princess Katsuyu has heaven-defying abilities, she will be helpless without medicine.”

“In this battle, Sunagakure will surely win.”

As Chiyo's hoarse, stern voice fell, a dull but mighty thunderclap exploded above the heads of all the Sunagakure ninjas.

It seemed that even the sky of the ninja world was responding to Chiyo, agreeing with her statement.

At this moment.

Sunagakure's morale soared like wolf smoke, like a prairie fire, and even the Rain Country's torrential rain could not extinguish it.

… …

… …

Fire Country border.

Towering trees stood in the forest, and Konoha ninjas stood or hung upside down on the trees like flying birds.

With the help of lush branches and leaves, they completely concealed the thousand-strong ninja army.

After departing from Konoha and marching to the border, Tsunade was stationed here, and then summoned representatives from the major ninja clans.

“Based on my understanding of Sunagakure, they should be approaching the Fire Country soon.”

“No matter what Chiyo and Ebizo's purpose is, they will definitely enter the Fire Country.”

“Therefore, as long as we set the location of this battle outside the Fire Country, and defend against Sunagakure outside our borders, the scales of victory will already tip in our favor.”

Tsunade went straight to the point.

“The problem is, how can we find Sunagakure before they enter the country?”

“Lady Tsunade, Sunagakure's marching route goes through the Rain Country. Under the constant rain, in addition to Byakugan and sensory ninjas, Inuzuka's ninja dogs, Aburame's parasitic insects, and Yamanaka's techniques will be interfered with to some extent.”

“And the Rain Country's border is connected to our Fire Country's border, which means that once Sunagakure leaves the Rain Country, they will step into the Fire Country.”

Nara Shikaku frowned deeply.

As Konoha's number one strategist, he understood the principle of defending against the enemy outside the country better than anyone else.

But the problem is that Sunagakure is too strong and knows Konoha too well.

From the First Ninja World War to the present, Sunagakure has thoroughly investigated the methods of the Konoha ninja clans, and most likely has countermeasures.

The battle of ninjas is the battle of intelligence.

The battle of ninja villages is also the battle of intelligence.

Facing a Sunagakure that is both capable and knows Konoha inside and out, and taking advantage of the White Fang's suicide, colluding with Iwagakure and Kumogakure to kick them when they're down, even Nara Shikaku is helpless.

Seeing that Nara Shikaku was also frowning, looking helpless, the Uchiha and other ninja clan leaders remained silent.

They all knew very well about the climate of the Rain Country.

Incessant heavy rain will inevitably greatly affect the sense of smell of ninja dogs.

Everyone knows that the insects that dance in the rain are parasitic insects.

The Yamanaka clan's secret ninjutsu can invade the spirit and control birds and beasts for reconnaissance, but which birds or beasts will appear in the torrential rain, and dare to approach the Sunagakure army?

Hyuga Tenzo.

Konoha's strongest genius in history, and also the youngest of the Konoha ninjas on the expedition.

Of course they were not strangers.

But can this newcomer who has never been on the battlefield have a solution?

After all, the battle of ninjas and the battle of ninja villages are not the same thing.

The battle between ninjas only requires designated tactics to kill the enemy with a blade, but the battle between ninja villages involves too many objective factors.

Therefore, they do not doubt Hyuga Tenzo's strength, only Hyuga Tenzo's ability.

“I can increase the olfactory ability of the Inuzuka clan's ninja dogs tenfold, or even dozens of times, for a certain period of time.”

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Hyuga Tenzo's words made the Konoha ninjas present shudder.

Especially the Inuzuka clan ninjas.

“What's the price?”

Inuzuka Yu, the head of the Inuzuka clan, first showed ecstasy, but immediately calmed down.

As someone who plays with dogs, there is no way to increase the sense of smell of ninja dogs dozens of times, but someone who doesn't play with dogs can do it, which is very unusual in itself.

In the ninja world, the ability to improve quickly in a short period of time often comes at a price.

“Muscle and meridian tears.”

Hyuga Tenzo's words were shocking.

“What?”

“Muscles are okay.”

“But once the meridians are torn, they can no longer be ninja dogs, they can only be ordinary puppies.”

… …

The Inuzuka clan ninjas, led by Inuzuka Yu, changed their expressions greatly after hearing this.

Ninja dogs, to other ninjas, are tools, just dogs, but to the Inuzuka clan, ninja dogs are like their own sons and daughters.

Even closer than their own offspring.

“However, I can repair the severed muscles and meridians of the ninja dogs.”

Hyuga Tenzo controlled the rhythm of the audience with a few words.

Before this, most ninja clans only knew him as a genius and capable fighter, and then nothing else.

But now, seeing a problem that even Nara Shikaku was stumped by being easily solved by Hyuga Tenzo, and the price was also bearable.

This also gave everyone present a new understanding of Hyuga Tenzo.

“Really?”

Inuzuka Yu couldn't believe it.

In fact, he had already prepared to sacrifice the ninja dogs.

After all, the ninja world war is no child's play, involving the lives of thousands of ninjas. Even ninjas have to sacrifice, let alone ninja dogs.

Moreover, the ninja dogs are not dead, they just lost the qualification to become ninja dogs and were reduced to ordinary puppies.

Unexpectedly, there was a turning point, and it was a win-win situation.

“I guarantee in the name of the Sannin, this is true.”

Just as Hyuga Tenzo repeatedly supported Tsunade during the Hokage meeting.

At this time, Tsunade also stood up for Hyuga Tenzo at the first time.

With one of the Sannin as a guarantor, the Inuzuka clan ninjas all believed it.

“I have no objections.”

Inuzuka Yu agreed readily, and then looked at Hyuga Tenzo intently:

“Young Clan Leader Tenzo.”

“After this battle, no matter what the outcome, you will be a friend of the Inuzuka clan forever.”

“If there is anything you need, just ask.”

In front of many Konoha ninjas, Inuzuka Yu said in a deep voice.

First, as a dog-loving ninja, he must be grateful to Hyuga Tenzo for saving his ninja dogs.

Second, since Hyuga Tenzo can perform meridian surgery on ninja dogs, what about other injuries?

You must know that the most serious injuries, whether for ninjas or ninja dogs, are always related to the meridians.

Broken hands and feet can be replaced with limbs if conditions permit.

Blindness and deafness can also be replaced with eyes and ears.

The same is true for the internal organs.

But the meridians are different.

Not to mention replacing them, even repairing them, only Tsunade can perform meridian repair surgery in the entire ninja world.

But who is Tsunade?

One of the Sannin.

Even if the Inuzuka clan is willing to pay the price, they may not be able to invite Tsunade.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Inuzuka clan leader, Hyuga Tenzo must be befriended.

At critical moments, he can really save his ninja dogs.
