Strictly speaking, Land of Rain conducted an infiltration operation with the purpose of attacking Konoha's logistics system.
This is something that every village will do, but the key is that Land of Rain does not need to take on other responsibilities, as long as it does this one thing.
This is terrible.
Konoha's transportation line is too long, and the protective force is also insufficient due to troop strength.
When Land of Rain was not participating in the war, Hidden Stone Village and Hidden Sand Village were unable to bypass the Konoha front line Base and attack the transportation lines within Land of Fire.
If it was weak then, it would be weak. No one would come to destroy it anyway.
But it's different now. Due to Land of Rain's declaration of war, the weaknesses of the transportation lines will be targeted and magnified infinitely by the enemy.
In the original time and space, why did Hidden Stone Village lose in the later stages of Third Great Ninja War?
It is because among Kannabi Bridge Battle, Minato used Flying Thunder God to go deep into Land of Earth and was responsible for containing and attracting Iwagakure Ninja's attention, while the Kakashi trio destroyed the key point Kannabi Bridge and completely cut off Iwagakure's supply line.
Therefore, the importance of supply routes is self-evident.
Konoha naturally does not have such serious vulnerabilities as Kannabi Bridge, but from the intelligence point of view, Ame Shinobi will be broken into parts. Depending on the task breakdown and the specific situation of the ninjas, the ninjas participating in the task will be in teams of four, three or two.
This shows that Hanzō is determined to fight guerrilla warfare.
Whether he was out of the idea of preserving his strength or deliberately not confronting others head-on, this is not good news for Konoha.
Land of Fire is no better than Land of Wind. There are forests everywhere here. If you dig wherever you want, you will find nowhere to find it.
This kind of shit-stirring behavior, even if it can't beat you, can still disgust you to death.
Therefore, for Chen and the others, the first priority is to eliminate enemies on their own territory and ensure the safety of transportation lines.
"The information returned so far is that Land of Rain has sent two thousand Ame Shinobi. It is impossible for Hanzō to empty out the power in the village. This should be the limit of what he can do."
In the big tent, Sakumo said to Chen and Rokuun in front of him.
"In other words, after we destroy these enemies, Hanzō will withdraw from this war no matter what!"
Chen nodded, this was a truth that couldn't be more plain.
But the difficulty lies here. As mentioned before, Hanzō is preparing to fight guerrilla warfare.
At present, Chen and Sakumo actually don't have too many ninjas in hand, because half of them have withdrawn to the village to strengthen the village's defense.
This is not only because Chen put Tailed Beast in Hidden Mist Village, but also because Land of Rain... or Hanzō sent ninjas into the hinterland of Land of Fire.
The combat capabilities of a small group of ninja troops should not be underestimated. If left alone, they would likely do something major to change the course of the war, and even perform a beheading operation.
If Konoha does not strengthen its defense, Hanzō may lead two thousand ninjas to directly attack Konoha and conduct a crazy explosion.
It is strange to say that besides Land of Water, Land of Rain was actually the second country in this war to introduce the battlefield into the territory of Land of Fire.
It can be said that Hanzō has stirred up the entire Land of Fire situation.
"We currently have six transportation lines, but there are actually two general directions. Hanzō should choose to divide our forces, so we must also divide our forces." Sakumo said.
Rokuun nodded, then pointed at the enlarged map and continued, "In addition, all reconnaissance ninjas must also be dispersed."
On the map of Land of Fire, the transportation lines have been divided into countless areas. The current combat plan is to ensure that there must be reconnaissance ninjas distributed in every area.
Konoha has been able to win many times, firstly because of its strong logistics, secondly because of its mature medical system, and thirdly, because of its large number of reconnaissance ninjas.
Currently, Chen and Sakumo have a large number of reconnaissance ninjas.
"The current combat plan is basically like this, but the most difficult problem now is Hanzō." Sakumo showed a trace of solemnity on his face.
No matter what, Hanzō is a ninja as famous as Third Hokage, and Sakumo dare not say that he can definitely defeat the opponent.
But what I'm most afraid of is that Hanzō won't fight you.
Hanzō is proficient in sword skills, Fire Release. In addition, he also has a weapon of mass destruction - poison gas.
This kind of person is a big killer when put on the battlefield, and he is the kind that kills a lot of people.
Why did Sannin resist Hanzō back then? Just don't let him enter the battlefield. This kind of person's killing methods are so powerful that he can disintegrate a battlefield in an instant.
Hanzō also possesses the elusive Body Flicker Technique. If he is determined to harass, the pulling effect will be slightly weaker than that of Minato who knows Flying Thunder God.
Chen thought for a while and said, "You can leave it to Shibi to lock Hanzō's position."
Chen and Shibi knew each other when they were Ninja Academy.
This man, who once appeared on the "Most Easily Ignored" list with Nawaki, is even better than Byakugan in gathering intelligence.
Although Shibi looks like a poker face, he is actually Elite Jonin with extremely strong overall strength.
The role of his insect control skills in attack and defense need no introduction.
In addition, Shibi can also use Parasitic Destruction Bugs for long-distance reconnaissance and tracking. Under certain special circumstances, this ability is more adaptable than Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan. At the same time, he can also use different bugs for medical purposes, including treatment, detoxification, and quick healing of wounds.
Therefore, Shibi is one of the few comprehensive ninjas who can do reconnaissance, attack, and defense very well.
But Shibi is too low-key, or the neglected attribute inherited from his family means that not many people know his true strength.
Objectively speaking, the ninjas of the Aburame Clan are all masters at pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.
For example, Shibi's son who hasn't been born yet and doesn't know if he will be born - Shino, is the only man among Konoha 12 who has never been defeated!
Even "Naruto" was defeated miserably by "Itachi Uchiha" on the proud Talk no Jutsu, which is enough to highlight the excellence of "Undefeated Ninja" Shino Aburame.
