Chapter 260 260 Strategic Deployment

More than 20,000 ninjas came out of Konoha.

For Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure combined, the combat power definitely exceeds 50,000, which is really not enough.

But with Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Madara guarding them, it was enough to make up for the shortcomings in numbers.

In fact, Izuna handed over most of the Uchiha people to Madara, and he mainly led Hinata, Hatake, Kaguya and some Uchiha people.

Madara leads most of the Uchiha clan.

After all, with Madara's character, he is really not used to commanding other clan members.

And Izuna once showed kindness to the Sarutobi clan and asked Sarutobi Sasuke to serve as his deputy to assist Madara.

No matter how weird Madara's temper was, Sarutobi Sasuke would show off his face and obediently help him with things.

After all, Madara doesn't know how to deal with the world.

…

Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sandgakure.

When these three countries went to war, the flames of war naturally burned on the Kingdom of Rain.

Who knows that the geographical location of this country is so awkward? It is in a state of handover with all three countries.

Therefore, when Izuna went to capture Vulpix before, she had already reached an agreement with Amegakure.

As long as Yugakure can help provide logistical support and defense assistance, he will assist Yugakure in protecting their land of Rain Country.

and provide compensatory resources after the war.

Of course, this part of the resources must be obtained through plunder.

"I thought that after the construction of Konoha, we would be able to usher in peace, but unexpectedly, after the family quarrels, we ushered in the battles between countries."

Senri Hinata, the head of the Hyuga clan who was running next to Izuna, sighed.

Now, he is over twenty-five years old and has matured a lot.

It's just that the pair of white eyes were obtained by a master who separated the family through transplantation.

This also secretly laid the groundwork for a complete break between the clan and branch families in the future.

Hearing his words, Kaguya's clan leader, Kaguya Takeri, and now Ryo Hatake of the Hatake clan, as well as the Uchiha ninjas, all showed similar expressions.

Even the bellicose Uchiha and Kaguya will be more or less disgusted when facing war again after enjoying a full eight years of peace.

But it is precisely because of this that they are even more eager to end the war as soon as possible and return to peace again.

This is also the reason why Madara failed in the original work.

No one is willing to drag people who have integrated into peace back into war.

Three days later, Izuna led seven thousand Konoha ninjas and rushed to Amegakure Village.

The weather was pretty good, it was cloudy.

That's right, in the land of rain, if it doesn't rain heavily, it's considered good weather.

There is no trace in the Rain Hidden Village, and its leader is a ninja over thirty years old named "Quan Zang".

This name always makes Izuna wonder if he is the father of "Sansho Hanzo" in the future.

Because it rains all year round in the Land of Rain, their ninja uniforms are designed to look like raincoats.

"Mr. Quanzang, I wonder how Sunagakure and Iwagakure have been doing in the past few days?"

After meeting with Quan Zang, Quan Nai didn't say any nonsense and immediately asked about the situation on the battlefield.

Quanzang immediately said: "Now Sunagakure and Iwagakure are forming an outflanking trend and want to attack the country of Rain. Fortunately, Mr. Uchiha Enhuo led the Konoha ninja troops to help resist, otherwise I, Raingakure, would really be unable to bear it."

After saying this, Quanzang said cautiously: "Sir Izuna, since the reinforcements from your village have arrived, can the ninjas on the front line of Amegakure..."

Quan Nai nodded slightly, "Well, take it back. During this period, everyone in Yugakure has also worked hard."

After hearing Quan Nai's words, Quan Zang breathed a sigh of relief.

It was agreed before that as soon as Konoha's army arrives, Amegakure's ninjas can withdraw from the front line, hand over the battle to Konoha ninjas, and be responsible for logistics.

In this way, Yugakure's already small combat power loss can be reduced to the limit.

What Quanzang is afraid of is that Quan Nai will go back on his word. After all, a weak country has no diplomacy. In the face of a powerful country, even if Quan Nai cheats, there is nothing he can do.

With the assistance of Quan Zang, Quan Na ordered the representatives of various ethnic groups to come to the main conference room provided by Yuyin Village.

Showing a map of the Land of Rain, Izuna began to assign everyone to be responsible for the stronghold.

Although when he captured the Six-Tails previously, Izuna left Uchiha Flame, a quasi-kage-level strongman of the Uchiha clan, and some of the Uchiha troops behind, hoping to assist Amegakure in resisting.

But in the end they were still outnumbered, and several strongholds on the border of the Kingdom of Rain had been taken away.

There are also key locations among them.

The first thing to do now is to get these captured locations back.

"Lord Izuna, regarding these lost strongholds, Sunagakure is mainly in control. The enemy's combat strength is..."

Hatake Liang raised his hand to ask for instructions.

A deputy jounin of the entire Tibetan army replied: "There are not many people in these strongholds. The number of people controlled by each stronghold is about 600."

"Not much really."

Kaguya Butori touched his chin, thinking about whether he should take the initiative to request to fight, so as to make a first contribution, and Kaguya can live a better life in Konoha from now on.

Izumi Nexu stared, "Such an obvious trap is clearly designed to lure us over and then destroy most of our combat effectiveness."

Izuna's words shocked many Konoha ninjas who were eager to try.

If you think about it carefully, it is really possible to show weakness first, then lure the enemy deeper and detonate the trap.

This is an old method used in fighting wars during the Warring States Period.

Kaguya Taketori couldn't help but blush. The days of peace were so comfortable that he actually forgot the basic strategies of war.

Hinata Chisato clasped her fists and said, "Sir Izuna, do you have any good ideas?"

Quan Nai stared at the map for a long time, and finally said, "We are not going to attack the stronghold, we are going to attack the Taishui River Valley."

Everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked at the map.

The Taishui River Valley is a route in the northwest of the Kingdom of Rain. It experiences heavy rainfall all year round, but it is an extremely important official road in the northwest of the Kingdom of Rain.

There are cliffs on both sides, and you can only walk through the waterway in the middle. It is the only route for transporting food and logistics. According to Amegakure's intelligence, there are more than 3,000 Iwagakure guarding it.

Everyone is a little confused. Isn't this place heavily guarded?

Why call here?

"Fight with great fanfare."

Izuna added another sentence.

However, these words immediately caused the head of the Hyuga clan to separate, Hyuga Genmasa, to suddenly realize it and exclaimed: "I understand! This move of Master Izuna is really brilliant!"

Everyone looked at Hinata Genmasa in confusion. The meaning in their eyes was very clear, hoping that Hinata Genmasa could give a clear explanation.

Hyuga Genmasa quickly explained: "What Izuna-sama wants is for us to attack the Taisui River Valley with great fanfare and pretend to cut off Iwagakure's logistics, so that Iwagakure will be deceived into thinking that we are going to attack them. logistics route,

In fact, a small number of elite troops were sent to raid the stronghold halfway to get the lost stronghold back. Is that what you meant? Mr. Izuna. "
