Chapter 63 Building momentum

Qianyu lay in the tent for almost a whole day before getting up.

After rubbing his swollen temples, Qianyu left the tent, planning to meet Orochimaru and find something to eat to fill his stomach.

While going to find Orochimaru, Chiba encountered several ninjas.

When these ninjas saw Qianyu, they looked surprised and scared.

All the ninjas in Yugakure Village already know about Chiyu's achievements in the battle.

Everyone found it incredible that Chiyu was able to seriously injure the leader of the Yu Ninja, Kuroiwa Tatsuji.

The traitor who was once despised by everyone has become so strong now.

The fear was because, in addition to Minato Namikaze, others also saw the scene of Chiyu handing the detonating tag to the ninja named Daigo.

How could they not be afraid of Qianyu who was so cold-blooded and ruthless?

What's more, some people here had cursed Qianyu on the street in the past.

They were very worried that if they were injured in battle in the future, Qianyu would give them explosive talismans and make them cannon fodder.

Qianyu ignored the looks and went straight to Orochimaru's tent.

However, Orochimaru was not there. Chiyu guessed that Orochimaru should be in the combat command tent.

Returning to the combat command tent, Chiba finally found Orochimaru, and Jiraiya was among them.

"Orochimaru-sensei, Jiraiya-sama."

Qianyu greeted the two of them.

Orochimaru nodded wordlessly.

Jiraiya asked with a smile: "How are you, Chiba-chan? Did you have a good rest?"

Qianyu nodded and said, "I have rested enough."

At this time, Orochimaru said, "Chiba, get ready. We plan to advance the front line starting tomorrow and advance ten kilometers."

Qianyu frowned, then immediately relaxed and guessed, "They have already requested support from Konoha, so they will advance the front line to ten kilometers tomorrow, and then fight and retreat until they meet up with the supporting ninjas to hold the current front line. Is that right? Teacher Orochimaru?"

Jiraiya opened his mouth slightly, looking at Chiba in shock: "No way? Orochimaru just said that the front line will advance ten kilometers tomorrow, and you guessed so much?"

Qianyu explained: "This is actually easy to guess. Our surprise attack on Tangyin Village was a preparation for advancing the front line. Now that the plan has been successful, we must start to advance the front line as soon as possible, otherwise if the Cloud Ninja reacts, all our efforts will be wasted.

Moreover, if we advance ten kilometers, which is a distance of ten thousand meters, we simply cannot hold it with the number of ninjas we have left. Since Sensei Orochimaru still decides to advance ten kilometers, he must have made backup arrangements.

What we lack most now is ninjas. Although Konoha doesn't have many ninjas available right now, compared to other fronts, the Cloud Ninjas in Yu no Kuni pose the greatest threat and pressure to Konoha, so we ask Konoha for ninja support, and Lord Hokage will definitely agree."

Jiraiya was already stunned by what he heard.

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru blankly and said, "Orochimaru, your disciple has a good head."

Orochimaru praised her generously, "Qianyu's overall view and judgment of the situation have always been very good."

Jiraiya looked Chiyu up and down, and asked again in disbelief: "But the surprise attack on Yugakure Village is to drive the Kumogakure Ninja out of Yugakure Village. Now Yugakure Village has not driven the Kumogakure Ninja out of Yugakure Village, and the plan has not succeeded. How can you say that the plan succeeded?"

Qianyu raised the corner of his mouth and replied, "Master Jiraiya, the purpose of the surprise attack on Yugakure Village has never been to drive the Kumogakure Ninja out of Yugakure Village. Whether Yugakure Village restores its neutrality or not, whether the Kumogakure Ninja leave Yugakure Village or not, it will not affect the advancement of our front.

The purpose of our surprise attack on Tangyin Village is just to scare them, make them afraid to act rashly, and make the advancement of the front line smoother.

Master Orochimaru and Master Jiraiya, you have killed so many soup ninjas and cloud ninjas in the Hidden Tang Village, and the effect has been achieved, so how could the plan not succeed? "

Jiraiya admired, "Orochimaru, your disciple is really smart."

At this time, Orochimaru asked a question: "Chiyu, do you think the Cloud Ninja will take action when we advance the front line?"

Qianyu thought for a while and then replied, "They will definitely take action, but at most they will just investigate our situation and harass us, and they won't have a direct conflict with us."

Orochimaru continued to give Chiba a test: "So, what is the solution? How can we advance the ten-kilometer front at the lowest cost?"

Qianyu had already thought of it when he was thinking just now, and he said his method: "The method I can think of is to create momentum and make it look like we have a lot of ninjas at the moment.

The momentum is mainly based on shadow clones and clones. All ninjas create a certain number of clones, and then use the shadow clones to surround these clones and advance. Then other ninjas guard the periphery of these shadow clones and clones to prevent the Cloud Ninjas from investigating our situation.

This way, we can create the illusion that our supporting ninjas are numerous, making the Cloud Ninjas even more afraid to act rashly."

Orochimaru nodded in satisfaction.

Orochimaru commented, "It's a good idea. The shadow clones surrounding the clones can confuse the enemy's perception of the ninjas. Adding the real ninjas on the periphery can indeed create the illusion that our ninjas are numerous."

Jiraiya was stunned: "Isn't this method similar to what you just said, Orochimaru?"

Qianyu also looked at Orochimaru in surprise. She didn't expect that her thoughts coincided with Orochimaru's.

Orochimaru said calmly, "Jiraiya, there is no need to make a fuss, because this method is the easiest to implement under our current circumstances."

Orochimaru said to Chiba, "Chiba, I have reported your performance in Yuyin Village to Sarutobi Sensei this time. However, you have just become a Chunin not long ago, so I am not sure whether you can be promoted to Jonin, but there is a great possibility that you can be promoted to Special Jonin."

Qianyu nodded: "Yes, thank you, Mr. Orochimaru."

Orochimaru waved his hand and said, "You deserve this. There is one more thing, which is about Konoha's support personnel."

Chiba's eyes narrowed slightly. Orochimaru specifically told him about Konoha's support personnel, so Chiba guessed something.

Qianyu guessed: "Teacher Orochimaru, are the reinforcements sent by Konoha this time the first ones to be sent are ninjas from the Ninja Clan?"

Jiraiya had become a little numb. Both the master and the disciple were very cunning.

Before Orochimaru could say a word, Chiyu guessed what was going to happen next.

Jiraiya was thinking about whether he should let Minato Namikaze stay away from Chiba in the future.

His disciple is an honest man. Although Jiraiya has confidence in Minato Namikaze's talent, he is also worried that Minato Namikaze will suffer at the hands of Chiba in other aspects.
