Two-Tails Jinchuriki

In their positions, they pursue their own policies. The combat division wants to achieve merit, while the logistics division wants to recuperate. Neither is wrong, but A is the Raikage, and he must lead everyone to avoid losses and gain benefits.

However, it was useless for him to understand the reasoning behind this alone. He didn't know if those old fossils truly hadn't considered this point, or if they were deliberately ignoring it for their own benefit. Helpless, A had no choice but to put on this act of furious rage to explicitly point out the problem.

The effect was very good. Those who truly hadn't considered the problem began to support his ideas. Under this trend, those with ulterior motives became a minority.

"Raikage, we can fight, but we must establish a plan for how to fight. We can't fight like before, which only wastes manpower and resources without any change." The elder advisor in charge of logistics was a woman and the right-hand person of the Third Raikage. She lacked a certain respect for the junior Raikage, and A also strongly disliked these old fossils who liked to use seniority to suppress others.

"Then let's keep it simple. We'll commit most of our elites to launch a fierce attack, then contract our lines. This will both teach Konoha a lesson and allow us to prepare defenses, leaving Konoha unable to counterattack and forcing them to quickly agree to our terms." Raikage A pondered for a long time. He really didn't want to kill eight hundred enemies at the cost of losing a thousand. He still hoped to end the war quickly. It was better to launch one fierce attack. If successful, it would be bread and milk; if it failed, it would be better than being dragged to death. At least it could unify internal opinions sooner and make the war hawks who harbored hopes of a lucky victory face reality.

"The Raikage's method is excellent, I support it." Another advisor, whose body was covered in thick muscle, was the first to agree with the Raikage's method. He was a war hawk. Ever since the Land of Earth declared defeat, the Land of Lightning's strategy had become a localized war on the border, making him feel stifled with his strength and nowhere to vent it. Now that the Raikage said they were going to do something fierce, he was overjoyed.

"Alright, I agree too, but after this one, we absolutely cannot continue. Logistics really can't keep up." The only woman in the advisory group, who was also in charge of logistics, was very resistant to this kind of risky gamble. But she also understood the Yugito Clan's mindset. Rather than suppressing these people and preventing them from venting, it was better to let them have a good fight. As for the outcome, she could only hope it wouldn't be too bad.

"Yugito, take the Jonin squad to the occupied territory in the Land of Hot Water. You will be the commander of this attack plan. Besides the Eight-Tails and the Anbu, you can mobilize anyone else. Your target is only one: inflict maximum casualties on Konoha's border troops before Konoha's reinforcement troops arrive. Once Konoha's reinforcements arrive, retreat to the Land of Hot Water. In a crisis, you are allowed to abandon the occupied territory in the Land of Hot Water and retreat into the Land of the Moon... As long as you can bring back more comrades, lost territory is irrelevant." Raikage A immediately issued an order to the Two-Tails Jinchuriki and Jonin, Yugito, who had been standing behind him.

"Yes!"

With long, light brown straight hair tied into a braid that hung down to her waist, Yugito had sharp eyes and an arrogant expression. Her 1.7-meter height gave her a queenly aura. She was considered one of the most beautiful women in Kumogakure.

Yugito, with a heroic and spirited demeanor, walked up to the Raikage and solemnly accepted the order. If Xing Ran were here, he would definitely think of Artoria; they both possessed a queenly aura and the iron-blooded demeanor of a soldier.

"This, the Two-Tails is an important weapon of the village..." The muscular advisor who had agreed to the war first spoke hesitantly, wanting to stop this task from being assigned to Yugito.

"Since it's a weapon, it should be commanded by someone who understands it best. No one understands their own situation better than Yugito, so she is the most suitable commander." Raikage A settled the matter before the muscular man could finish speaking.

The muscular man was anxious now, but he was too slow-witted to finish his sentence. The Jonin in charge of the Jonin squad had recently died in the war. This important high-level position in the village was still vacant. The Raikage, without any explanation, was assigning Yugito to command what might be the final battle of the Third Shinobi World War, clearly intending for Yugito to take over this position. This made the muscular man very frustrated, yet he couldn't refute the Raikage's words.

Kumogakure had two tailed beasts, which were strategic weapons. They couldn't send both Jinchuriki to the front lines at the same time; one had to stay behind.

Although Yugito was young, Killer B was also young. Rather than sending this unreliable younger brother to command, Yugito was more reassuring to the Raikage.

In this way, as long as Yugito didn't make any major mistakes in this war, the young Raikage would truly place a loyal subordinate in the high ranks, increasing his authority.

"I didn't expect you to know so many herbs. This strange shrub has so many fruits, why don't you pick them all?" Ever since Nara Izumi learned that Xing Ran had mastered the Mystical Palm Technique, her previously disdainful attitude towards Xing Ran at school had completely reversed.

This world was indeed realistic. Not to mention how strong Xing Ran's Medical Ninjutsu was, capable of saving lives. Simply by treating someone with a special skill with respect, people would often develop a certain level of respect.

Nara Izumi wasn't deliberately trying to curry favor, but from her proactive attitude of finding things to do, Xing Ran could feel the change brought about by possessing abilities. This change was so clear, so real. No wonder people in this world wanted to become strong. This feeling was quite good.

"This thorny fruit that grows on shrubs only needs a small amount. After all, it's used as a medicinal ingredient. If I pick too much, I won't be able to use it all, and it'll spoil easily." Xing Ran explained like a study committee member as he put the unripe thorny fruits into the medicine pouch in his backpack.

"Are you making medicine? I see you've picked a lot of herbs along the way." Nara Izumi was like a curious baby. As a member of the Nara clan, intelligence was hereditary. Although she didn't have the talent to become a Medical Ninja, it didn't stop her from being curious about more medical knowledge.

Xing Ran was like an herbal encyclopedia. Every time he found a useful herb, he would pick it while explaining its effects. Many of them were good for stopping bleeding, detoxifying, and promoting blood circulation. As members of the Ino-Shika-Cho family, Nara Izumi wouldn't deliberately try to curry favor, but since he had valuable knowledge, Nara Izumi had no choice but to shamelessly act like a curious baby.

"Yes, of course, it's good stuff." Xing Ran looked up at Might Guy with a profound expression. This guy was their captain, who was currently packing up. They had just finished their final rest before heading to the border defense camp.

"What is it?"

"Heh heh."

"..."

"Are you two done? We're about to depart. I have a bad feeling; my eyelids have been twitching. We'd better hurry to the camp."

Might Guy's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting this outdoor herb lecture.
