Chapter 62 War Deployment

A few days later, Akimichi Genbu arrived at the northern camp of Konoha.

At this time, the entire camp has completely entered a state of war. Various large-scale attack equipment are arranged around the camp, and the large shurikens on them are ready to go. Watchtowers as high as 20 meters are also erected at the four corners of the camp. There are 4 ninjas on each watchtower for surveillance, and one of the 4 ninjas must be a Byakugan ninja.

There are traps everywhere within a one-kilometer radius around the camp. If you rush in rashly, you will definitely be blown away.

A huge perception barrier was inverted like a bowl above the camp and penetrated thirty meters underground before closing. It was specially prepared to deal with sneak attacks by earth ninjas who were good at earth-style ninjutsu. The perception barriers above and below the ground formed a huge sphere with a radius of two kilometers.

The supervision of the camp was also very strict, and Shinnosuke's team went through multiple levels of inspection before being allowed in.

Shinnosuke convened a combat meeting as soon as he arrived.

In the central tent, a huge Rain Country sand table occupied 80% of the open space. Shinnosuke stood in the center, and more than other decision-making ninjas stood on the left and right. Akimichi Genbu stood at the door guarding position, a little Kalami.

This tent was basically full of elite jonin. A passerby at the level of a chuunin like him wasn't allowed in originally. But who asked him to get in after all? He killed Kinkaku. As one of the three stars, he was the great-disciple of the third Hokage and a direct descendant of the Hokage. With various connections, he was able to make an exception and get into the general's tent.

Shinnosuke spoke first: "The intelligence you sent back earlier shows that 3300 ninjas from the Land of Earth have entered the Land of Rain and set up camp. How has the situation been these days?"

Although the Land of Earth is not the strongest country, they are the country with the most ninjas.

The Land of Fire is the richest country, but it only has about 29,000 ninjas.

The Land of Wind is the country with the largest land area, but most of the country is desert, which is not suitable for human survival. There are only about 18,000 standing ninjas, but just to maintain this scale, the Fourth Kazekage was so poor that he had to sell gold in the sand. It was really unbelievable that a Kage had to become a miner.

The Land of Lightning is full of mountains and there are thunderstorms all year round. Even though the Cloud Ninjas seem to be very powerful, there are only about 17,000 of them.

The Water Country has the smallest area. Due to its geographical location and land area, there are only eight thousand ninjas in this country.

Let's talk about the Land of Earth again. It actually has 33,000 ninjas. Given the barren land of the Land of Earth and the Gobi Desert everywhere, how can it support more than 30,000 ninjas? The Third Tsuchikage doesn't even know about family planning.

So why don't they fight? Otherwise, so many ninjas would definitely kill the Iwagakure Village. In fact, the Third Tsuchikage was more anxious to start a war than anyone else. There was no other way. Only when you don't manage the household do you know how expensive firewood and rice are.

Sarutobi Tenma on the left said, "They have attacked twice in the past few days, but they were all tests. They probably have figured out the range of our perception barrier, the extent of our traps, and the number of ninjas.

But yesterday we observed that Hongtu had led the two elite ninjas of the Tiancheng clan and other ninja clans to enter the Iwagakure camp, and a large-scale battle was not far away.

And there is some not-so-good news, that is, the elite jonin Kuwata of Iwagakure is also on his way with more than 2,000 ninjas, and is expected to arrive in three days."

All the people present, including Xuanwu, looked unhappy. The score was already 1:2.76. If another 2000 Rock Ninjas came, how could they fight? It looked like they could only request reinforcements from Konoha.

Nara Shikahei, who was standing at the right hand of Sarutobi Shinnosuke, analyzed: "We only have 1,300 ninjas, and the enemy ninjas are about three times as many as us. We are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.

Although the overall quality of our ninjas is relatively high, our ninjutsu and secret techniques are diverse, and our combination ninjutsu is unmatched, the difference in numbers is there after all. If we fight head-on, we can only win a miserable victory at best. If we delay until Kuwata's reinforcements arrive, a miserable defeat is very likely to occur.

We need to lure them into attacking the main camp as soon as possible, and rely on our defensive depth to launch a defensive counterattack, and strive to defeat them in one fell swoop."

His statement was recognized by everyone, but the Iwagakure were not stupid and only needed to wait for the arrival of reinforcements before launching an attack. They would never take the initiative to attack at this time.

Sarutobi Harukawa asked, "But how can we lure them into launching an attack? Iwagakure is sitting pretty right now, maybe they're waiting for us to attack."

Everyone was whispering, but no one had any good suggestions.

Nara Shikahei spoke again: "I have an idea. When Xuanwu, Shimizu and Yu were carrying out the mission in the Land of Rain, they killed a jonin from the Tsuchigakure Village. Later they found out that the man was the eldest son of the general of the Iwagakure Force, Hongtsuchi, named Shifeng."

When Nara Shikahei said this, almost everyone in the general's tent looked towards Xuanwu, except for Akimichi Qufeng, who had a gloomy expression.

Qiu Daoxuanwu was also confused, and he complained in his heart, "I just attended a meeting casually, why did you involve me?

Was that rough guy so impressive at that time?

Although after he used the "Light and Heavy Rock" and "Heavy Rock" techniques, I did suspect that his status was not low, but I didn't expect it to be so high!

And he looks so anxious. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought he was in his 30s or 40s. I would have believed him if you said he was the son of the Third Tsuchikage."

Shikahei continued, "From what we know, although that man's ninja talent is not outstanding, he is Hongtu's most beloved son."

Lu Ping looked at Xuanwu at this time and said, "Xuanwu, do you still remember that you went to the Kingdom of Craftsmen to carry out a mission two years ago?"

Akimichi Xuanwu nodded dumbly.

"According to the report from our informant in the Land of Earth, Hong Tu asked to lead a team to kill you, but all countries were preparing for war at the time, and the Third Tsuchikage stopped him to avoid unnecessary trouble. Hong Tu had a big quarrel with the Third Tsuchikage, but he also knew that the overall situation had to be taken into consideration, so he gave up in the end.

In order to comfort Hongdi who lost his beloved son, Ohnoki hired a bounty hunter to hunt you down, but unfortunately he failed.

So Hongtu has a great grudge against the Xuanwu team. If we..."

Before Lu Ping could finish, he was interrupted by Qiu Dao Qu Feng, "I disagree. Xuan Wu and his men are only very young and their strength is totally insufficient. How can we let them be bait? That would be like sending them to their deaths."

It was the first time that Lu Ping saw his old friend so angry. He glanced at Xuanwu again and said, "It seems that this boy's position in Qufeng's heart is higher than I thought."

He calmed Qufeng down and continued, "Qufeng, you misunderstood me. It's not what you think. They are all ninjas from Konoha. How could I formulate such a tactic to send them to their own death?

What I mean is to spread the news that the three of them are in our camp. They are eager for revenge and feel that they have the advantage on their red soil. There is a high probability that they will not be able to hold back and launch an attack. Then we can play a defensive counterattack. "

Now it was Akimichi Nofu's turn to be embarrassed. He was so stubborn that he thought that the three Xuanwu people would go and challenge directly, and then lure the Iwagakure over.

He scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "Um, Lu Ping, I'm sorry, I thought, I thought..."

Lu Ping waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and told Qu Feng to think whatever he wanted.

However, Qufeng was still a little worried, "But this will also make them get special attention from the Iwagakure."

Nara Shikahei didn't respond, but there was nothing he could do about it; he couldn't avoid this question.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Qiu Daoxuanwu spoke up, "There are always casualties in war. If I die on the battlefield, it only proves that I am not strong enough. I agree with Uncle Lu Ping's plan."

Xuanwu would definitely not be happy if he was used as bait, but who told them that they were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers? Besides, he had confidence in himself, and a mere Rock Ninja was no problem.

Seeing that Xuanwu agreed, Shinnosuke also smiled. After all, the other party was Tsunade's disciple and his father's grandson. It would be difficult for him to do so if he didn't want to.

"But I have a condition, that is, only my information will be published here, and the news will be released that the person named Shi Feng died under my "Chidori". The identities of Qingshui and Yu will not be announced."

It was he who killed Shi Feng at that time, and it had nothing to do with Qingshui and Yu. Also, their strength might not be able to withstand the siege, so they might be in danger at that time.

Qu Feng immediately objected: "No, if that happens, you will be under too much pressure on the battlefield."

"Don't worry, Uncle Qufeng. The person who can kill me hasn't been born yet. Besides, everyone has their own responsibility. It was indeed me who killed Shi Feng that time. It had nothing to do with Qingshui and Yu. There's no need to let them get involved in this mess."

"But..."

Qiu Dao Qu Feng wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yamanaka Xiyi, "Qu Feng, Xuan Wu is quite powerful. He was able to fight Jin Jiao to death and win. Don't underestimate him.

At that time, our three ninjas will focus on protecting them. On the contrary, if all three of them are exposed, it will be difficult to focus on them. "

"Yes, don't worry, Qufeng."

Lu Ping also supported them.

Seeing that everyone said so, Qiu Daoqufeng could only close his eyes and agree.

Shinnosuke finally made the decision, "It's settled then. Leak the information about Xuanwu, and we will reinforce the fortifications and prepare for an ambush, and try to fight a beautiful defensive counterattack."

“Oh~~~~~~~~”

Everyone agreed.

Shinnosuke then said to Xuanwu solemnly: "Little guy, don't worry, as long as I am here, no one will try to hurt you. I promise you."

"Hi hi~"

Akimichi Genbu expressed his gratitude on the surface, but in his heart he didn't care, "You'd better take care of yourself. In the original work, Konoha Midoriya didn't live to see the beginning of the plot, so it's not certain who will save whom."

Afterwards, Lu Ping gave everyone a detailed strategic deployment, which stunned Xuanwu. If Lu Ping's heart was cut open, the darkest thing would definitely be found inside.
