Chapter 441: Hold on

"I'm asking you about the enemy situation in this attack."

"A total of 27 transformation attacks have occurred within the village, 15 people have been injured, and 3 people have been killed. It is estimated that it will take until tomorrow noon to check all the villagers. There are too few ninjas with decent strength, and there are not enough manpower..."

Check?

Tsunade was startled when she heard this. The surprise came too suddenly. She looked at him with a confused look as if to show off and made contact with the Raikage and the Tsuchikage. Although the sound coming from the little slug was not loud, it was natural that everyone present could hear it.

"Do you have a way to identify the enemy's true form?!"

"Cut some hair, nails, corners of clothes, etc., and then extract the chakra contained in them. As long as it is an enemy, the material will not be able to maintain its original state and will turn into that white substance."

"..."

Tsunade showed her joy for only a moment before immediately restraining herself as if nothing had happened.

As an old military doctor, how could she not know this method?

"The solution is so simple?! How could you not have thought of it?"

"Immediately arrange for the people on the front line to discuss and plan how to deal with the enemy!"

It was a solution after all. Lei Yingxiang had grabbed a straw that could solve the problem, but the response was just a few "yes!"s from the Kumogakure ninjas and nothing more. How to design a plan and arrange personnel still had to be discussed by the ninja leaders in front of them before they could be implemented. The errand ninjas had no decision-making power.

Seeing that no one responded, the Tsuchikage, Hokage, and Nara's expressions didn't improve much. The Raikage stared at Nara Shikaku, who was full of dissatisfaction, and spoke directly,

"What are the problems? Tell me now!"

The commander-in-chief had spoken, and Lu Jiu was no longer shy about it.

"First, how can we ensure the authenticity of the inspectors? Let's not talk about how many frontline ninjas have ninjutsu that can absorb chakra. Now it has been confirmed that the other party has such ability, and they don't even need to imitate after transformation. If they check their own clones, it will be like inviting a wolf into the house."

"Secondly, that spore-like ninjutsu can be attached to the body in advance without being discovered. Even if we have an effective test method, he can still disguise himself as our ninja again. We can't solve the problem once and for all. We need to consider long-term monitoring and multiple inspections."

The Tsuchikage next to him was calm and composed. Shikaku said two points, which was enough. He nodded and Ōnoki continued to criticize.

"Moreover, close contact is bound to occur during the inspection process, which is the most convenient time to take action. Before the identity is confirmed, even if you can be vigilant at the beginning, you will inevitably overlook it over time."

"The Akatsuki people don't seem to care about the death of those white things. If they have the chance to attack at close range, the losses they cause to the coalition forces will definitely be great."

Although the allied ninjas were now frozen in place, they were careful to keep their distance from each other, which was also a way to seek perfection. They raised questions, but did not have their own solutions. Neither Shikaku nor Ōnoki wanted to speak first. They pointed out many problems at the request of the Raikage, but no one felt relieved.

This doesn’t work, and that doesn’t work. Anyway, they just want to say that this method doesn’t work, right?

"Did you hear that, Hokage? It would be better for your apprentice to be careful."

The Raikage threw this to Tsunade, who was not angry, but threw it back to Sasuke on the other end of the "phone".

"Did you hear me? The Raikage asked you to be careful."

"Got it, thank you for your concern. There are these problems, so I arranged for all the ninjas and residents of Konoha to be placed under supervision. I can barely keep an eye on them for a while. Waiting for your new plan."

Tsunade was only briefly mentioned as "under supervision", and only the people in Konoha knew how tense the situation in the village was.

Sasuke just reported his work to Tsunade and had no intention of helping to solve the problem on the front line. He didn't even know what the enemy was, but he thought he had a chance of winning.

"If we count all the ordinary people left in a village, there should be quite a lot of them. How can Sasuke handle it? Princess Tsunade, it seems that there are quite a lot of ninjas left in Konoha~"

"It seems that the Iwagakure Village has also been attacked. Mr. Ohnoki is still in the mood to chat and laugh thousands of miles away from home. It seems that the ninjas who stayed in the Iwagakure Village are also very powerful!"

"At this time, you have the energy to quarrel, why don't you think of a solution?"

I don't know if the mediation of the Raikage worked, but Ohnoki did give his opinion seriously.

"Although Konoha's operation is not meticulous enough and the front line is in chaos and cannot be copied, but the villages have also been attacked. If we can solve some key problems in the plan and make some adjustments to temporarily arrange it, it will also be good to stabilize some of the morale of the army."

Compared to Shikamaru, who is a brainiac, Tsunade is more of a supporter, but she always has ideas. Looking at the slug on her shoulder,

"I can confirm that Sasuke's identity has not been replaced."

"Since I can then..."

Considering Tsunade's actions one after another, combined with previous intelligence and rumors, it can basically be said that the fact that she made Sasuke sign a contract with the Wet Bone Forest is confirmed.

The Raikage blurted out "Summoning beast?" and politely did not mention the derivation process.

As long as there is an idea, Tsunade will be able to think of the supporting measures and arrangements naturally.

"Ninjas who have signed contracts with summoned beasts, whose summoned beasts' information is on file in the village, whose summoned beasts are stronger, and who have not been summoned in this war, can be given priority as the first batch of inspection and enforcement personnel to carry out the work."

"Is there still any ninjas with summoning beasts in your village?"

Konohagakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure naturally have enough backup plans. Although the strength of Kirigakure is limited, it has rich marine resources. As long as it is not compared with the tailed beasts, the summoned beasts are not that rare.

"Once the plan is made, we'll ask the Kazekage. I guess the Iron Nation will also let them make their own decisions based on the specific circumstances of each village...but fortunately, this is just part of the plan for safety reasons."

The Raikage also gave his guess, which needs to be verified.

"In this case, perhaps a special bloodline limit cannot be easily copied with chakra alone."

The problem of lack of manpower is a big problem, but what the Senju lacks the least is ninjutsu.

"If there aren't enough ninjas who can perform chakra absorption ninjutsu, I have a technique with a similar effect. It's relatively basic and can be made public to you. However, the stronger the person, the better the effect. It requires a certain threshold of chakra control."

……

Every time there was a proposal, others would continue to join in and make supplements, and the framework of this plan, which was full of shortcomings, was quickly built in just a few words.

"That's it for now, then."

The Raikage looked at the other military advisors in the room who were at a loss for a solution.

"Immediately formulate the details of the inspection plan, personnel arrangements, and material dispatch, and then notify the captains of the front-line units, the Mizukage, the Kazekage, and the Three Ships."

Tsuchikage stretched his old waist and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is the only way. If this plan is carried out, the coalition forces will not be able to move for a while."

"Even without this plan, the ninjas on the front line can only freeze in place. It's better to have something to do than to wait for death."

What else could the Raikage do? He finally finished arranging the "emergency plan" and turned around to urge the two people from Konoha.

"Leave it to them here. I hope you can gain something from it."
