Chapter 50 Deciding on a Plan

In Jiraiya's tent at the Konoha Ninja Station.

Qianyu expressed his analysis.

Jiraiya also agreed with Chiba's analysis.

Orochimaru nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good analysis, so what's the solution?"

Qianyu continued, "It is unrealistic to drive the Cloud Village ninjas out of the Land of Hot Springs, because the fighting power of the two sides is too different. Currently, there are only so many Konoha ninjas that can be stationed here. Even if Konoha sends more ninjas to support them later, it will definitely not be too many.

Because of Orochimaru's plan, Konoha's ninjas need to be divided into four groups, and some ninjas need to be stationed in Konoha. The Hidden Cloud Village can continuously support the ninjas to come to the Land of Hot Springs.

But relying on the reputation of Master Jiraiya and Master Orochimaru, we might be able to push the front line forward a distance, leaving us some room, so that after the war starts, we will not have only the choice of retreating to the Land of Fire. "

Jiraiya asked puzzledly, "Relying on my and Orochimaru's reputation?"

Namikaze Minato also didn't understand what Chiba meant by reputation.

Qian Yu explained in a deep voice: "Yes, it is to rely on reputation, that is, to let the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village know in a big way that two of the three ninjas of Konoha have come to the Hidden Tang Village, that is, to scare them and make them afraid to act rashly.

At the same time, Lord Jiraiya and Sensei Orochimaru will also come out together to attack one of their strongholds to let them know that the Land of Hot Spring will be the area that Konoha will focus on guarding.

At that time, they should think that Konoha's reinforcements have arrived and a counterattack from Konoha is about to come, and then use this to advance part of the front line, move the front line away from the border of the Land of Fire, within the border of the Land of Hot Springs, so that we will have room for maneuver.

However, the front line must not advance too much, because over time, they will definitely know that Konoha's only reinforcement is Sensei Orochimaru.

The front line has advanced too far, and we simply cannot hold it. We will only waste our combat power in vain, and may even retreat back to the border of Daohuo Country, which means our efforts have been in vain.

Then after the front line is advanced, we will hold on to our current position and buy time for the implementation of Orochimaru's overall plan.

This is the method I can think of. I wonder if this method can help Master Orochimaru."

After a moment's silence, Orochimaru said, "Your method is already quite mature, and it can be said that your method can be implemented as planned.

As you said, our combat power is completely unable to compete with the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village, so it is basically impossible to advance the front line in a head-on confrontation.

At the beginning, my idea was for Jiraiya and I to attack the ninja troops of the Hidden Cloud Village to stabilize the current situation, and then seek a breakthrough and find a way to advance the front.

Qianyu, your method is a bit radical, but if it succeeds, our gains will be huge, and it will make our subsequent arrangements more flexible.

So I tend to use your method, Chiba, to execute the plan. Jiraiya, what do you think?"

Jiraiya thought for a moment and said, "I think it's feasible, but if we implement this plan, we need to attack one of their strongholds. The strongholds we have found in the Hidden Cloud Village are marked on the sand table. Which stronghold do you want to attack, Orochimaru?"

Orochimaru directly pulled up a flag representing the base of the Hidden Cloud Village from the sand table: "Since we want to announce our existence to them and scare them, then of course we have to choose the one that is the most difficult to chew, otherwise it will not have the effect of killing the rat and preventing the weapon from being used."

Looking at the flag in Orochimaru's hand, Jiraiya asked in surprise: "Are we going to attack Yugakure Village directly?"

Namikaze Minato said anxiously: "Lord Orochimaru, Master Jiraiya, this is too reckless. There are not only Cloud Ninjas stationed in the Hidden Tang Village, but also Tang Ninjas.

The Tang Ninjas have not yet come out to fight us directly. If we attack the Tangyin Village directly, the Tang Ninjas will definitely be hostile to us. Wouldn't the situation be even more disadvantageous to us?"

Orochimaru ignored Minato Namikaze.

And Qianyu just burst out laughing.

Namikaze Minato heard the disdain in Qianyu's laughter and frowned, "Qianyu, what are you laughing at?"

Qianyu turned his head and said in a strange voice: "Nothing, I just think your idea is good. It would be better if we could form an alliance with Tangyin Village. Wouldn't it be better to kill the Cloud Ninjas of Tangyin Village directly with the help of internal and external forces?"

Jiraiya explained awkwardly: "Minato, if Yugakure Village directly agrees to let the Kumo Ninja stationed in the village, it is equivalent to being hostile to our Konoha. If we want to play the role of being cautious, Yugakure Village is indeed the best choice.

Moreover, instead of waiting for the Yuyin Village Ninja to take the initiative to fight us, it is better for us to attack them directly and catch them by surprise.

If the attack is successful, then the largest stronghold of the Cloud Ninja Village in the Land of Hot Springs will disappear, and the Hot Spring Village will definitely not dare to allow the Cloud Ninja to be stationed in the village again.

At the same time, the ninjas from Yugakure Village would definitely not dare to go against us, the Konoha ninjas.

Although it is indeed risky, if it succeeds, the rewards will be huge.

Moreover, this time we are launching a surprise attack on Yugakure Village, and there are not many jonin in Yugakure Village and the stationed Kumo ninjas. Most of them are chunins and genins. With Orochimaru and I here, the possibility of success is very high.

Furthermore, we are not trying to capture Tangyin Village. As long as the effect is achieved, our plan will be considered a success."

Minato Namikaze still felt it was too risky.

Minato Namikaze was very clear that if Chiba's plan was implemented, there would definitely be casualties, and the casualties might be quite large.

During the time in Hot Spring Country, Minato Namikaze and the ninjas stationed here became good companions.

Minato Namikaze really couldn't bear to see his companions get hurt, and even more so didn't want to see them die.

But the decision is not in the hands of Minato Namikaze, but in the hands of Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

Jiraiya said to Orochimaru: "Then let's go to Yuyin Village, Orochimaru. Now I will hand over the command to you. All the ninjas here, including me, will obey your orders."

Orochimaru nodded and said, "Then let's gather all the ninjas that can be gathered now. After all, it's a sneak attack, so we have to be quick. Otherwise, if they know that I have come to the Land of Hot Springs, the effect will be greatly reduced, and they will also be on guard."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze left the tent and immediately went to make arrangements.

Chiyu originally wanted to leave the tent, but Orochimaru stopped him and said that this was a method Chiyu came up with, and asked Chiyu to stay and discuss the details of the battle plan with him.
