Chapter 156 Take the initiative! Rushing to die? (5K, please subscribe! Please vote!) (1/2)

After convincing Jiraiko, Chiho and Jiraiko left Myoboku Mountain together.

When they were summoned back to the Ninja World, they had already appeared at the northern outpost of Konoha.

There were three main outposts in the northern border, each with a tall watchtower. The one in the center was the command post of the Konoha Three Battalions, where the ninja assistants stayed.

At this time, that was where they were going.

That was where Kawashima Kaede and Sarutobi Shinnosuke stayed.

"What?"

As soon as they approached the watchtower, they were discovered by the night watch ninja.

"It's Jiraiko!"

When the searchlight shone over, they recognized Jiraiko at the first time, after all, his appearance was too iconic.

Although it was already night, it was obvious that Jiraiko had no time to sleep.

After discovering Jiraiko and Chiho, Kawashima Kaede and Sarutobi Shinnosuke came out to greet them.

Because they knew that Jiraiko's arrival at this time was obviously a big deal.

When they gathered everyone to the first floor hall of the watchtower, Jiraiko announced a shocking news:

The leader of the Kumogakure envoy group was killed on the spot by the clan leader, Kamogakure Tsurugi, for intending to kidnap Miss Hinata of the Tsurugi clan.

Another Kumogakure jonin was killed by Chiho for attacking Miss Ayane of the main family.

The Kumogakure envoy group threatened to go to war and demanded the surrender of the bodies of Tsurugi Tsurugi and Chiho.

What's more serious is that the Kumogakure army, led by the deputy Raikage, has reached the northern part of the Land of Fields today, and is expected to reach the southern border of the Land of Fields tomorrow morning.

To cross the Hulu Valley in the south of the Land of Fields, the first thing to be attacked is the three watchtowers of the Land of Fire. Once the Hulu Valley is lost, the watchtowers and outposts will obviously not be able to defend.

Next is the land of Fire, and for a moment, the Land of Fire is in crisis again.

This action of Kumogakure is obviously a long-planned conspiracy.

All the ninjas in the field are elites who have experienced war, but they are not angry because of the shamelessness of Kumogakure.

Because they now have the three thousand Kumogakure troops mentioned by Jiraiya in their minds.

They are three.

One against ten? No way!

"Master Jiraiya, what do you say?"

After a long silence, Kawashima Kaede took a deep breath and spoke first to break the depressing atmosphere that had already lowered the freezing point.

Jiraiya arrived late at night and brought a secret order from the Third Great Lord. It was obvious that the top leaders had prepared a response.

At this time, they only needed to obey orders, even if the order was to let them die, they would not hesitate. Kawashima Kaede was mentally prepared for this at this moment.

Seeing Kawashima Kaede speak first, Sarutobi Shinnosuke on the side continued:

"Master Jiraiki, now all of us will obey your orders.

I think you should have a countermeasure."

"The third generation will personally lead the team to come to support.

But it will take at least one day to arrive.

Just say that he will come to support tomorrow night or the morning of the day after tomorrow.

As for the follow-up troops, it will take at least two days to arrive one after another."

Jiraiki's first sentence made everyone feel relieved. After hearing the third generation and Master Jiraiki, they felt the backbone in their hearts.

But the following few sentences made them feel cold.

It will take at least one day, what should they do?

"What do you think, Master Jiraiko? Should we hold on here and wait for reinforcements to arrive, or should we evacuate here first, meet up with the reinforcements, and then launch an offensive?"

Another jonin asked cautiously.

Everyone looked heavy-hearted and nervous.

Because Jiraiko's next answer would determine their life or death.

Everyone knows that the main function of the outpost and the watchtower here is to guard, not to serve as a defensive barrier, because there is no place to defend here.

Facing an enemy that is ten times stronger than them, if they don't leave, they will be wiped out.

However, if they retreat first and the enemy occupies this place, when reinforcements arrive, they will lose the initiative, and the casualties of the offensive will be huge, and they may even fail.

Neither of the two options is a good solution, but it seems that the second one can be chosen.

But they can't take the initiative to bring up this kind of thing, and the leader must make the decision.

They must obey orders, even if Jiraiko chooses the first one.

Although they are not afraid of death, no one is willing to die in vain and make such a fearless sacrifice.

They would rather serve as the vanguard during the attack and fight a bloody way for the village. They don't want to die in such a suffocating way, which will be meaningless.

"We don't choose either of these two paths!" Jiraiko shook his head.

"Then what should we do?"

At this time, Qianhe saw that Jiraiko seemed to be organizing his words to make everyone believe the absurd choice that followed, so he took the lead and said:

"We will take the initiative to attack!"

"What?!"

"Take the initiative to attack???"

"We are only three people! The other side has three thousand people!"

As soon as Qianhe finished speaking, the ninjas around him all looked unbelievable. If the words just now were said by Jiraiko, they would be ready to sacrifice.

But these words were said by Qianhe, not only did they not have enough weight, but they were also very ridiculous.

But what they didn't expect next was that Jiraiko nodded with a gloomy face, confirming Qianhe's statement:

"Qianhe is right, we will take the initiative to attack!

It is unbearable to defend here. If we give up here, it will be a big trouble when we attack.

땤And the third generation can lead an army of one thousand 그 at most.

It is difficult to resist the follow-up attacks of Yunyin's army, and it is almost impossible to attack.

If we allow Kumogakure to station troops on our territory, the daimyo will be furious, and the Great Ninja War may happen again.

After all, the other Ninja Villages had to be on guard.

The village is simply unable to send more troops for long-distance operations.

We can take the initiative and keep Kumogakure's army at bay. "

"Jiraida, are you saying that we take the initiative to guard the border? Calabash Valley?" At this time, Kawashima Kaede on the side quickly responded. After all, he is a veteran.

He took out a map from his arms, spread it out on the ground, and then pointed to a location ten miles away from the outpost. The mark there was a valley.

"Gourd Valley?" Sarutobi Shinnosuke's eyes lit up, but then his face became sad and he sighed:

"If San땡그놇Hulu껙 is stationed, it is still feasible to defend 궝八땡그.

But facing an army of three thousand 그, we need at least 1,000 그 to defend the entrance.

땤And the other side can definitely send a small group of elites to sneak attack our rear while we are guarding Calabash Valley.

If the front line is lost by then, when we retreat, we will inevitably be attacked from both front and back, and the losses will be even heavier!

Therefore, we need to send 그 to guard the rear. 껩 means that we don’t have two 놋two 땡그 that we can really send to guard the valley!

And if the opponent's army includes ninjas who are proficient in earth escape ninjutsu, it will be even more difficult for us to hold on to the valley. "

One more thing Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't say, even if the enemy is a Kumogakure ninja and is good at thunder escape, he is not an Iwagakure ninja.

But with the opponent's 3,000-strong army, it is obviously easy to find a dozen or dozens of ninjas who are proficient in earth escape.

After Sarutobi Shinnosuke's explanation, all the ninjas on the field understood that Jiraila actually chose the first method.

It just changed from sticking here and waiting to die to dying in two batches.

However, this was the decision of Jilai 껩大그, and they were not right!

This is the backbone of Konoha ninja!

Afraid of returning.

Cowardly?

Don't be a coward!

Jilai 껩 pointed at the map and said: "Now our troops are divided into two groups, one 땡그 guarding the outpost, and two 땡그 guarding the valley entrance.

Xinzhi will help you lead the team to guard the outpost, and Lord Feng will guard the valley.

눁Leave it to me on behalf of the Raikage, and leave the three thousand army to Qian He!

Mr. Feng, what you have to do is lead the team to deal with the fish that slipped through the net from Qianhe.

So you are not facing three thousand 그 with two 땡그.

Do you understand? "

quiet!

Quiet!

There was total silence, you could hear a needle drop.

Facing Jilaiga's order, everyone seemed to feel that there was something wrong with their ears.

It is reasonable and normal for Jiraike to deal with the Daidai Raikage. There is no problem.

Qianhe against an army of three thousand? ? ?

They just need to resist sneak attacks and fix leaks from behind.

Is that what you mean?

The literal meaning is easy to understand, but are you sure you got it right?

A pair of three thousand?

This is a child who looks to be eight or nine years old, but he is not the first Hokage Senju Hashirama.

And none of the people here have experienced the era of the first Hokage, and none of them have seen the first generation take action.

The strength of the first generation is recorded in the Konoha Chronicles.

They regard the content recorded above as a novel, and it is the first Hokage who beautified and myth-created the village.

Not seriously.

One person against one country?

Does such a person really exist?

"Do you understand?" Jiraiya's face suddenly darkened at everyone's reaction, and he said sternly.

"I understand!!!"

Everyone shouted back.

꼇Dao Feng quickly recovered from the shock, knowing that Qian He's strength was comparable to 껗 forbearance before.

It has been more than half a year since I played against Qian He, so 놛's strength must have improved by leaps and bounds.

When fighting Qianhe before, although Dao Feng suppressed Qianhe, he knew that Qianhe had reservations, but so did he.

So I think I know Qianhe well. This kid is strong, ridiculously strong. There is no child in the history of Konoha who is as good as Ninja at the age of 8.

But how can one man stop an army of three thousand? !

꼇Dao Feng asked himself, 놛can hold back dozens of people with his life, really 껗100 people.

But three thousand people, even if they were all chuunin and genin, would still be piled up to death.

This is different from ordinary battles. What Qian He놚 is doing is blocking 3,000 people, not escaping from 3,000 people!

With his skill in the Flying Thunder God, even ten thousand people can come and go freely.

But now we are blocking 3,000 people. Even if we let some people pass, we will still have a head-on confrontation with 3,000 people.

These are completely two concepts!

However, Shima Kaede did not express his thoughts, because Lord Jiraiya seemed to have made up his mind.

놛 seems to have great faith in Qianhe.

Although Dao Feng couldn't think of any way to stop the three thousand people, he just obeyed the order.

From his point of view, it would be okay if he died, but at Qianhe's age, he would definitely grow into a towering tree guarding Konoha in the future. It would be a pity if he died here.

There is still plenty of time now, so I secretly made up my mind to wait until later to persuade Jiraiya-sama.

As for not saying anything at this time, it is because I don't want to affect the army.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down and made preparations, Jiraiya stood up and said:

"Now, start assigning the two teams of ninjas.

First, the ten ninjas were divided into two, with five people on each side of the two teams.

For the rest of the ninjas, the 껗nin were distributed by 놖, and the chunin joined both teams on a voluntary basis.

According to the principle of distribution, the frontline ninjas should be mainly speed-type ninjas, because you need to chase the ninjas that leaked from Qianhe.

The ninjas guarding the rear are mainly ninjas who are proficient in wind release ninjutsu, followed by 꺱release ninjutsu.

Let’s start forming the team and we’ll start in half an hour! "

After finishing speaking, Jiraiya walked towards the outside of the watchtower.

Originally, 놛 could be allocated according to his own wishes, but not all the ninjas who came here understood it, and secondly, they were also given a chance to make their own choices.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the front line is more dangerous.

They are also ninjas, some are alone, some are alone, some have families with them, some are old and some are young.

How to distribute, the two captains 꼇Shima Kaede and Sarutobi Shinnosuke know better than 놛.

Although Jiraiya believed in Qianhe, he had no confidence.

Qianhe was still sitting on the ground, preparing to close his eyes and rest, but as soon as Jiraiya left, the originally quiet hall suddenly became noisy.

"Captain Maple! Go to the front line!"

"And 놖!"

"놖Go too! 놖 is fast!"

"You are a ninja who is good at escape, but your speed is as fast as a feather. Seeing as how fast you are, you're almost the same!"

"Brother, it's not like this. You've bullied me since you were a child. You've robbed me of everything. Even if you die, you'll do it!"

"Hmph, how can an older brother lose to a younger brother? Come on, the thunder ninjutsu is so powerful, Kumogakure's cubs should be allowed to see the strength of Konoha's thunder ninja!"

...

"Captain Shinnosuke! Don't choose 놖! 놖놚 go to the front line! 놖don't want to stay in the rear!"

"Kousuke! Just don't go. You just got married this year. Remember, when you came here, your wife was just pregnant. You don't want your child to be born without a father, right?"

"It's okay! 놛 will know that 놛's father is a hero in the future!"

"Aren't you afraid that if you die, your wife will remarry?"

"???"

"...This...should...not be..."

Faced with everyone's quarrel, Qian He was a little helpless, but also a little relieved.

How distrustful this is!

But thinking about it, Qianhe himself wondered whether there was something wrong with his brain when he made this decision.

But he still made up his mind.

Through everyone's performance today, 놛 also realized it clearly.

The leaves may have rotten roots, but they are still lush.

꾨Especially the last conversation just now, Qianhe almost laughed when he heard it. It wasn't that the atmosphere was wrong, he really couldn't help it.

Each and every one of them acted like they were going to die.

The most admirable thing is that they are obviously going to ‘die’, but they are rushing to do it one by one.

It's like a supermarket clearance sale, and you won't be able to buy it if you arrive late.

The atmosphere suddenly became anxious...

"Okay! Stop arguing! Everyone who reads your name, come here! Shintaro, Shohei, Kota..."

At this time, Dao Feng scolded him loudly, but despite his harsh tone, his eyes were filled with relief.

On the other side, seeing that the scene was a bit chaotic, Sarutobi Shinnosuke also began to name his team members: "Kuroika, Yonekura, Kato..."

Soon, Shima Kaede and Sarutobi Shinnosuke finished reading their names.

Among the people whose names were read out, most of those who went to the front had happy faces, while most of those stationed at the rear had gloomy faces.

At this time, the ten-man investigation team composed of members of the Xiang clan was divided into two teams under the assignment of the captain Xiang Tianyuan.

꿂Xiang Tianyuan led four team members to stand beside Dao Feng.

꼇Dao Feng looked at 꿂 walking towards Tianyuan and stood next to him. His face immediately darkened and he frowned:

"Tian Yuan, you shouldn't have come from this team!"

꿂Xiang Tianyuan is a young man who looks to be in his twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is quite handsome.

Facing Dao Feng's reproachful words, 놛 raised his eyebrows:

"Tch, Teacher Feng, do you think 놖 doesn't know that he owed 놖 two drinks and a barbecue for playing cards before? Do you want to default on the debt!? Huh?"

꼇Dao Feng heard this and sighed: "놖Can I pay you back when I go back? You can go to another team."

Although it is also a battlefield, Konoha's ninjas have an unofficial rule during wartime, which everyone acquiesces to.

That is, during the war, once the battle is defeated, the medical ninjas and the ninjas of the Xiang clan can retreat without having to coexist and die with the position.

Because one medical ninja survives, dozens or hundreds of ninjas will be saved in the future.

As for the ninjas of the Xiang clan, even if they are injured and only their eyes are still functioning, their role on the battlefield will be immeasurable in the future.

The more BUG-level detective strategic talents you have, the more you survive.

꿂Xiang Tianyuan also has a genius-level task in the 꿂Xiang clan branch. In his twenties, he has the strength close to the elite 껗nin. Of course, the most important thing is the high purity of 놛's Byakugan.

Even though his talent is limited by the 'Caged Bird' curse seal, he is still not inferior to the people of the clan.

When he was thirty or forty years old, he was another leader of the Xiang family.

놛 was once a student of 꼇Daofeng, and now he is also a friend of 꼇Daofeng. 놛 didn’t want 놛 to die like this.

Faced with 꼇Dao Feng's answer, 꿂 shook his head towards Tianyuan, and no longer looked like he was joking, and said solemnly:

"Teacher Feng, I will only let you go if I am sure you will survive. I will go back with you."

After saying that, he returned to his unserious demeanor and said with a smile on his face: "There is no way for a dead person to default on his debt."

"Okay then." Dao Feng, who knew 놛's character, nodded and stopped trying to persuade 놛.

...

After the assignments were made, Jiraiya walked into the hall and said in a deep voice:

"Ready to send!"

At this time, Qianhe, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, then stood up and walked behind Jiraiya.

An hour later, under a rapid march, everyone rushed to the Calabash Valley on the southern border of Tian Country.

The clocks everyone carried showed that the time was half past one in the morning.

Looking at the towering steep slopes on both sides of the valley and the narrower walls going in, everyone stopped.

Guagua~

A little toad jumped up to Jiraiya's side, mouthing human words:

"Jiraiya-sama, Kumogakure's large army is about five hours away from here."

"Okay, I know Zhongyongmaru. Thank you for your hard work. You can go back first."

"Yes, Lord Jiraiya, I wish you good luck in martial arts!"

With that said, the little toad turned into smoke and disappeared, returning to Miaomu Mountain.

Then, Jiraiya ordered everyone to deploy their troops according to the plan.

Jiraiya and Qianhe walked through the valley and stopped about a mile outside the entrance of the valley.

Before leaving, 꼇Daofeng was ready to say something to Qianhe, but after Qianhe gave 놛 a look, he followed Jiraiya directly and left without waiting for 놛 to speak.

...

Looking at the flat and bare ground with the gradually shrinking cliffs on both sides, Qian He unhurriedly took off the storage scroll tied to his arm and took out a few things that made Jiraiya stunned.

"Qianhe, why did you bring these things?"
