Kakashi glanced at Hinata and said maliciously, "Of course I can refuse your plan, but who can refuse my plan?"
Hinata: "..."
Kakashi's gotten really cocky lately!
I guess his kidneys have been cured!
After all, Tsunade has already returned to the village, so she doesn't need to be afraid of being Kidney Strike again.
To be honest, the plan to split into teams was actually quite good. As long as Hinata could borrow Nine-Tails's Chakra, Kakashi said he wasn't afraid.
If all else fails, then let the Nine-Tails come out.
No matter what kind of enemy you are, one Tailed Beast Bomb will send you to meet the Sage of Six Paths.
To be honest, Kakashi also really wanted to test the power of the Nine-Tails Chakra.
He's the type who has low chakra reserves; if Chakra freely, he could use many powerful techniques.
I, Kakashi, will also try to use Chakra a humanoid monster.
Kakashi added some supplements to Hinata's proposed team division plan.
That means tomorrow morning at 11:00 AM, when the four of us— Might Guy's Team, Gaara, and Gaara— will meet at the border between the Land of Rivers and the Land of Fire.
Even with the Nine-Tails Chakra, the enemy's chances of winning are very low.
But ninjas aren't samurai. Do you think they'd stand up and duel you openly?
Ninja battles often involved sneak attacks, poisoning, and assassination—they used every means possible.
Don't be influenced by Naruto and Sasuke from the Original Story; one of them is just reckless, and the other is just pretentious.
Especially Sasuke.
What's the fun in showing off if there's no audience?
So Sasuke would always hide well, but in the end he would always come out openly to fight the enemy.
Hinata still vaguely remembers the background music that played every time Sasuke appeared, ding-dong...
Around 2 a. m., Hinata, Naruto, and Kakashi arrived at the border of the Land of Rivers. Kakashi made a 'stop' gesture and then jumped to the ground.
Hinata and Naruto followed closely behind.
Kakashi took a map out of his ninja tool bag, laid it on the ground, and explained, "This is a map of the Land of Land of Rivers. This red line is our original route. The other two blue and green lines are the new routes that Might Guy, Baki, and I decided on after discussing them."
Hinata glanced at the map. Although the red, blue, and green lines all ended at the same point, they started at different points.
The red lines have their own starting points, while the blue and green lines have the same starting point.
Kakashi continued, "Of course, the enemy will also expect us to change our route."
"Judging from the map of the Land of Rivers, they will probably set up reconnaissance traps in these places to determine our route through the Land of Rivers."
As he spoke, Kakashi took out a pen and drew six circles on the map.
Gaara's affairs are of great importance, so the Gaara team will definitely not pass through densely populated areas.
Looking at Hinata and Naruto, Kakashi suddenly felt like testing them and asked, "Besides that, what else might the enemy be thinking?"
Naruto scratched his head, looking like it had nothing to do with him.
Hinata thought for a moment and said, "The enemy might also take the One-Tail into account. If the battle reaches a critical moment, the One-Tail Beast might be released..."
At this point, Hinata suddenly exclaimed, "So, the enemy will definitely set up an ambush, and if they fail to hit us, they will retreat!"
Kakashi nodded in satisfaction.
Hinata's personality is somewhat complicated, but she is very reliable when it comes to crucial moments.
Kakashi smiled enticingly and said, "Go on, and I'll write all of this into your mission report. It'll help you get promoted to Jonin!"
Hinata took the map and examined it carefully.
This map is very detailed; it must have been a military map used during wartime.
"Kindness..."
"If the enemy wants to kill with one blow, they will definitely choose a location with advantageous terrain to ambush, and then launch a large-scale Ninjutsu unexpectedly. If the attack fails, they will immediately flee far away."
Hinata scratched her head, feeling like her head was about to explode.
Kakashi took the map and placed it on the ground, connecting the several reconnaissance traps he had guessed together. He explained, "If my guess is correct, if the enemy has set up reconnaissance traps in these places, then the enemy's location cannot be too far away from these places."
After Kakashi explained it to Hinata thoughts became much clearer.
Kakashi continued, "Of course, the enemy won't be so easily exposed..."
Kakashi drew another circle on the map and continued, "So this circle is the area we need to investigate."
Hinata said softly, "That's relatively easy!"
Kakashi glanced at Hinata and chuckled, "Of course, what we can think of, the enemy can think of too."
Kakashi folded the map and put it into his ninja tool pouch, then instructed, "This mission is different from the past. You can treat this mission as a small-scale war."
"Once the enemy figurees out our thoughts, our plans will be used against us."
"So take those plans I mentioned before with a grain of salt. The most important thing is to be flexible and adaptable."
Turning his gaze to Hinata, Kakashi said, "Hinata, you'd better communicate with Nine-Tails immediately and ask it to transfer its Chakra to us at any time."
"Once we enter the Land of Rivers, we must be careful with every step we take."
Even if the enemy might not show up!
Hinata nodded slightly, formed hand seals, and softly uttered, "Byakugan - Activate!"
Hinata activated her Byakugan, surveyed the area, and then focused her Chakra into her eyes, allowing her Dojutsu power to enter the seal within Naruto's body through her gaze.
"Hi! Little Fox, I've come to play with you again!"
Nine-Tails: "..."
"Why are you here again? Did you run into the enemy?"
Hinata nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes! Little Fox, I need your help!"
"Snort!"
Nine-Tails Fox grinned and said, "Understood! If you encounter any enemies, just use your Dojutsu power to call upon me!"
Hinata felt a warmth in her heart and said with a smile, "Thank you, Little Fox, you're so kind!"
Hinata withdrew her Dojutsu power, looked at Kakashi, and nodded, saying, "We've reached an agreement; Nine-Tails is willing to help us!"
Naruto clutched his stomach, looking utterly dejected.
This Nine-Tails is a traitor! Who is the real Jinchuriki?
That night after returning from the Otogakure, Naruto spent the entire night trying to communicate with Nine-Tails, but Nine-Tails completely ignored him.
After Naruto fell asleep, he suddenly found himself in a sewer and saw the Nine-Tails in person.
Naruto was overjoyed.
However, Nine-Tails coldly snorted, "Get lost!"
Naruto woke up from his sleep in a cold sweat and couldn't fall back asleep.
Naruto: I must be a fake Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!
Kakashi nodded slightly and coughed lightly, saying, "Although we have already made plans for the next step, what we need to do now is... find a place to get a good night's sleep and replenish our energy."
"Hinata, then I'll leave it to you!"
Hinata: "..."
