Chapter 260 Additional Deployment

Konoha Village, Hyuga family tent.

"I'm in the first team, and the leader of the Akimichi clan is also..." Hiashi flipped through the military deployment plan, and his eyes changed when he turned to the next page, "Hinata and Neji are in the second team?"

"Yes, father-in-law. The basic standard for the troop arrangement is the combat radius that each of you is good at. The first troop is the medium-range joint army detachment. Generally speaking, it is composed of ninjas who are good at ninja tools and weapons. You and Mr. Choza are actually quite special."

Hitachi's "Eight Trigrams Empty Wall Palm" is as powerful as throwing explosive talismans, and Ding Zuo's "Human Bomb Chariot" allows him to ignore medium-range spans.

The second unit is obviously a joint army detachment that focuses on close combat, led by Ohnoki's son, Takage's father, Huang Tu, and needs to fight on the front line.

"Hinata...it won't be too dangerous." With the battle imminent, Hiashi could no longer pretend to be dignified and his worry was hard to hide.

When he came to visit from the Land of Water, he learned that Hinata was nearly crushed to death by the wooden hand of "Wood Release: Minato no Bag Technique" in the battle that destroyed the village. The old father almost rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Hua Huo's simple and clear words were powerful.

There is no need for little girls nowadays to hide the changes in their white eyes. Those eyes seem like they shouldn’t appear in this world. Just looking at them can make one feel inexplicably sacred.

"You are worthy of being the next head of the Hyuga family... With this power alone, the entire Hyuga clan may not be worthy of you." As a father, Hiashi was very proud; as the patriarch of a clan, he had mixed feelings.

"I will always be Hyuga Hanabi of the Hyuga family," Hanabi stated solemnly, and then suddenly thought of something, "Ah, that... Luo Yi, can I, uh... not change my last name?"

"Hiss...ah yes! Of course!" It took Lao Luo a second and a half of downtime to react.

You know, three years later, Hinata will be renamed "Uzumaki Hinata".

His Luo family is a bit feudal, but they will never ask a daughter-in-law to change her surname when she marries into their family. That is the backward culture of the island country!

Besides, it would be too difficult for Hua Huo to change her last name to Luo.

"Thank you, Luo Yi." Ri Zu was even more moved.

Three years ago, he only knew that this wild son-in-law who fell from the sky into the hot spring had extraordinary talent, and wanted to grasp this promising talent, but he didn't expect...

This “bright future” is not an exaggeration at all?

Now who still regards him as the son-in-law of the Hyuga clan? It would be better to say that the Hyuga family is relying on his abilities to move to a higher level.

"Wait, aren't you the chief of staff? You should be in charge of the coalition headquarters base. Is it appropriate for you to be separated from Hanabi?" Hiashi had new doubts.

"It doesn't matter. Wherever Hanabi is, I'll be there." Luo Yi actually showed his affection in front of his father-in-law. "Besides, we both know a little bit of space-time ninjutsu, so it's not too difficult to go back and forth to the coalition headquarters."

"I see. Space-time ninjutsu is really convenient." Hiashi stroked his chin, as if he was thinking of something bold.

"Of course, there are still limitations and burdens. It will be exhausting to use it for large-scale army operations." Luo Yi directly stopped his father-in-law from thinking about it.

This kind of ninjutsu involving dimensional laws is essentially against the will of heaven.

After chatting for a few minutes, Hinata and Neji came back from collecting the remaining supplies from the ruins of the Hyuga family, and brought news from the Hokage, "Lady Tsunade has awakened."

...

Hokage tent.

Tsunade looked at the people in the tent, confused. "Am I still not awake? Am I dreaming? Why are Orochimaru and Sasuke here?"

"This is the funniest excuse for avoiding paying medical bills I've ever heard." Orochimaru told the joke in all seriousness.

Tsunade was startled by the distinctive voice and regained consciousness. "Huh? What do you mean? It sounds like you woke me up?"

"It seems so, but to be honest, you were about to wake up anyway, I just moved your waking up a few days earlier." Orochimaru was as honest as ever.

According to his calculations, even if she was left alone, she would recover naturally in ten days at most. However, by that time, the Ninja World War would probably be over.

As for why Tsunade was in a coma longer than in the original work, the answer is a bit ironic: Pain invaded Konoha and killed too many villagers, so Tsunade didn't need to save every body; the rampage of the previous Hokage's reincarnation only caused injuries but not killings, which at least doubled the burden on medical staff.

"Tsunade... Senior Sister, you're awake." Luo Yi brought the little girl over after hearing the news. "Now that the war is imminent, I'm sorry I can't give you time to recuperate. Now that the Shinobi Alliance has been initially established, you have been appointed as the deputy chief of staff."

"No, Luo Yi, she has just woken up. Isn't it a bit too much for you to let her take on such heavy duties..." Jiraiya suggested impatiently.

"Brother Jiraiya, if you really care about my sister, you should think about how to share the pressure for her." Luo Yi denied it seriously, "After all, she is your... um... you are... uh..."

I can't take it seriously anymore.

Everyone present, including Orochimaru, looked at Jiraiya with disdain.

After returning alive from the Hidden Rain Village, the lecherous immortal finally got to eat meat; but it was not so easy to change the habits formed over decades, and on the days when there were no missions, Jiraiya was still lazy.

Only the Fifth Hokage was so busy that he didn't know what to do.

"I, I know. I will go to the Allied Forces Headquarters and be the deputy of the deputy of the chief of staff... Orochimaru, you will come too, right?" Jiraiya said with a shameless face.

If Naruto were here and heard the lecherous sage say this, he would probably laugh at his mentor right then and there.

What's this "Give up Sasuke, I've given up Orochimaru", and now Orochimaru has only been back for a few minutes and he's already inviting people to work together, he's not ashamed at all.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go on a special mission with Sasuke," Orochimaru refused with a wicked smile.

"Special mission?"

"We have to deal with the Impure World Reincarnation. Now that Hashirama and Tobirama are in Kabuto's hands, he can even use Hashirama's cells and the improved Impure World Reincarnation to restore a large part of the power of the two former Hokage when they were alive. They will become a formidable enemy."

Having learned senjutsu, Kabuto can not only command the inferior reincarnation from three years ago to exert enough strength to destroy Konoha; now that Kabuto has the superior transformed White Zetsu as a sacrifice, the strength of Hashirama and Tobirama he can summon is unfathomable.

Luo Yi frowned. Kabuto also has the real Impure World Madara. If Madara and Hashirama launch an attack on them at the same time, the danger would be extremely high.

"Princess Tsunade, now that you are awake, I'll give this back to you." After a brief silence, Danzo suddenly handed over the Hokage's hat generously.

"Danzo, you..." Hiruzen seemed to see a scene even more unbelievable than the "Huruzen Class Reunion".

That ambitious former classmate actually?

"Huruzen, you are the "Konoha" and I am the "Root". Roots are not supposed to show up in public, they should just hide underground to absorb water and nutrients. Being a Hokage is not my style..." Danzo seemed to be relieved.

There was another half sentence he didn't say, which was "Roots that touch the ground will die."

"That's not something you would say." Hiruzen smiled with mixed feelings, vaguely hearing some hidden meaning in his words.

"Hmph... Luo Yi, you didn't assign me any task. Is it because you don't trust me, or is there another reason?" Danzo narrowed his eyes, and his emotion could not be seen.

"Maybe because I know you have something special you want to do, so I'll let you do it." Luo Yi spread his hands.

"You're so smart that it's annoying." Danzo closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "If the Second Hokage appears on the battlefield, I will deal with him."

"You..." Hiruzen thought of many possibilities, but this one was not his.

Danzo wanted to face off against their common teacher?

There are many people in the tent now, including many young people, so Luo Yi gave him some face: this old man who has done many evil things in his life, is insidious, cunning, and cruel, his lifelong pursuit is probably just the recognition of his teachers and partners.

Perhaps, even hateful people can have some pitiful aspects.

"With the strength of the previous Hokage, he will definitely be used as a strategic weapon on the front battlefield. Your Excellency, former acting Hokage, please deploy him to the third force led by Kakashi." Luo Yi announced after a little thought.

"Yeah." Danzo nodded, closed his eyes and said no more.

"Nothing else, let's set off first." Thinking that Onii-chan was still waiting in the dark, Sasuke was in a hurry to leave.

Orochimaru followed closely behind.

As soon as he stepped out of the tent, he saw Kimimaro, Tayuya, and Koto who had been waiting outside for a long time.
