As time went on and on, the speed of the entire team was not very fast. On the one hand, due to the transportation of supplies, some Jonin tutors began to take advantage of their free time to train their own Genin students.
The shortcomings of long years of war are finally beginning to show. The lack of combat power began to give birth to a large number of Genin. Many of these Genin are from civilians. They have a short learning period and have never seen blood. Some of them cannot even control chakra, so they are sent directly to the battlefield.
The role of these people is undoubtedly that of cannon fodder.
But even if you are cannon fodder, you still have to show your presence as cannon fodder. You can't just die in vain, so Jonin's guidance is very necessary.
If you don't teach them at this time, when they go to the battlefield, once they start fighting, it will be a complete meal delivery rhythm.
But Orochimaru is much quieter here.
He had only been Jonin's teacher for a few months before he retired honorably, and Uchiha Chen had completely taken over his job.
Every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but smile. Having such a disciple is really something to be proud of. After all, who doesn't want to have a disciple who can dominate the ninjas of his generation?
Finally, a few days later, the troops arrived at Rogue Town, the most remote town in Land of Fire.
Of course, calling this a small town would be completely inaccurate. Since two years ago, the bandits entrenched here were cleared away, a large amount of materials shipped from other places Land of Fire, rebuilt it into a Little One Konoha.
Looking at the unfamiliar town in front of him, Uchiha Chen also felt sad. After all, this was the place where he performed his first mission. He originally stayed in a hotel, but it had already been demolished.
After a little inquiry, I found out that a small part of the original residents of the town had moved to Daimyo's Capital, while more of them had gone to sea to become pirates. In just two years, many of them have become famous pirates. And this is also known as the place of beginning and end.
When the troops set off and left Rogue Town, as they got closer and closer to the battlefield, information about the battle situation on the front line and forward exploration and reconnaissance information continued to reach Orochimaru every day.
If it was an urgent situation, he would call Tsunade over. After the two people discussed it, Orochimaru would pass on the solution.
During this period, Uchiha Chen would often be called over to listen. Sometimes, Orochimaru would even ask for his opinion.
The meaning of cultivation can be said to be very obvious.
It's not about strength, but about the overall situation and strategic vision. Uchiha Chen's current strength still has a direction to go, and Orochimaru can no longer teach too many things.
After all, when it comes to Sharingan, Orochimaru really wants to say that he knows it, isn't it a slap in the face?
So he simply didn't mention it, and instead began to cultivate Uchiha Chen's qualities in command and strategy.
You can train your own strength, but how to fight, how to command, and how to deal with emergencies require someone to guide you.
War and combat are completely different. It does not mean that you can win a war if you are strong. The ones who can do that kind of thing are existences like First Hokage and Lord Madara. Therefore, if you want to become a qualified commander, you must study hard.
So I have to say that Orochimaru has good intentions. He has already set his sights on the next Ninja War. At that time, Uchiha Chen will also shoulder the heavy responsibility of Commander Konoha, because not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of command, he is several times ahead of his peers Naka River.
While Tsunade lamented that Orochimaru had indeed received a good apprentice, he also began to wonder whether he should also find an apprentice to pass on his Medical Ninjutsu.
Although she passed Monstrous Strength to Uchiha Chen, no one has inherited Medical Ninjutsu yet...
As for Kato Dan, it's not nice to say, so stay where you can. She is not in the mood to fall in love yet. If it were a peaceful era, she might not mind.
This idea of Tsunade made Orochimaru a little disappointed. He couldn't explain why, but he just wanted Tsunade to quickly find someone to marry before Jiraiya came back.
In this way Jiraiya can give up.
It's just a pity...
Just like this, unconsciously, the material delivery team finally crossed the border of Land of Fire and began to walk on the territory of Land of Rivers.
Land of Rivers and Land of Rain are already bordering each other in the territory. After Konoha defeated Land of Rain, the battle line shifted, just across Land of Rivers and drove straight into the territory of Land of Wind.
It is indeed a bit sad that a small country is completely rootless in front of the huge machine of war. It is drifting but does not know when it will fall.
"Based on the information coming back from the front line, Suna Ninja may launch a surprise attack on the material delivery team."
In the carriage, Orochimaru was holding an information book, and on the low table in front of him was a Shinobi World map filled with marks.
"Do they have enough troops to reach this stage now? I remember that they were defeated in the frontal battlefield a few days ago, right?"
Tsunade asked after looking at the information sheet handed over.
"Can they still tell people apart?"
Orochimaru shook his head and said, "No, this is the key to why they were defeated twice in a row. From their two consecutive defeats the day before yesterday and yesterday, it can be seen that their manpower on the frontal battlefield can no longer organize an effective offensive."
Tsunade nodded. "Yes, then Sunagakure is even less likely to conduct a sneak attack on the supply troops."
"That's not the case, Teacher Tsunade." Uchiha Chen began to explain at Orochimaru's signal.
"As you know, in the previous mission, we cut off the material transaction between Sunagakure and Daimyo's Capital. Without such a transaction, Sunagakure's already insufficient food reserves will become even more stretched."
"And because of Land of Wind's geographical location, their autumn harvest is much later than that of Land of Fire. It will be a month before they harvest food. So they have to get through this month."
Uchiha Chen's words are very clear. How does the Sand Ninja survive? The only option is to rob, even if we fight to give up a small part of the profits on the main battlefield, we must also allocate troops to grab food.
Tsunade nodded. "So the possibility of this information?"
"At least 80% or more." Orochimaru put the information book in his hand on the map and said with certainty, "And the information passed to me from the main battlefield has been reviewed by Sakumo. This shows that he also agrees with the possibility of this valuable information."
"The question is, how many ninjas can they send in this situation?"
Yes, how many ninjas can the Sand Ninja send out? If a dozen Jonin were sent out, this battle would not have to be fought.
But Orochimaru shook his head and said, "Not many."
"Because Third Kazekage is likely to appear in this operation!"
Hearing this, Uchiha Chen was stunned. Is this the so-called crow's mouth?
