Uchiha Ying Yue thought carefully, weighing every possibility.
Suddenly, he offered his suggestion. "Now that we know Amegakure's movements, we can strike first. However, Iwagakure clearly won't let us off easily, so we need to prevent another surprise attack."
Uchiha Ying Yue continued, "I suggest leaving some of our elite forces here to guard against another attack from Iwagakure. I can lead them and secure our rear. As for the offensive into the Land of Rain, the main force can be led by you three: Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade. That way, we can focus on two battles while reducing the risk of being caught fighting on two fronts."
Tsunade agreed. "Ying Yue is right. Amegakure poses the greater threat, but Iwagakure remains a danger we can't ignore. Splitting our forces is risky, but it's the best choice we have."
Jiraiya and Orochimaru nodded in agreement, believing Uchiha Ying Yue's proposal was the best tactical option.
The four quickly worked out a detailed battle plan, dividing their forces into two groups. One, led by Uchiha Ying Yue, would remain at their current position to guard against a surprise attack from Iwagakure. The other, led by Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, would invade the Land of Rain and strike directly at Hanzo of the Salamander's main force.
Once the plan was finalized, Uchiha Ying Yue and the others exchanged encouraging glances. They all knew this would be a difficult battle, but it would also be a crucial moment that decided the outcome.
Uchiha Ying Yue felt a little uneasy, but his resolve was stronger. He knew that protecting Konoha and peace in the Ninja World was a responsibility he and his comrades had to shoulder.
After the meeting, the forces quickly began carrying out the plan.
