Staff Department, Nara Shikaku took the newly sent information and frowned.
"It's a bit troublesome." Nara Shikaku held his chin with his left hand and looked at the detailed map on the table.
The situation on the battlefield is a bit complicated. Originally, it was just Land of Fire and Land of Earth fighting, but Third Raikage is a fool. Even if he joins the war, he still has to fight two of them.
Now there is a melee between the three parties, but Hidden Leaf Village and Iwagakure, who were originally fighting fiercely, have become restrained.
The commanders of both sides have a tacit understanding to avoid large-scale battles, and only continue to conduct small-scale battles on the front line. A large number of troops have been transferred to another front. First, deal with the troublemaker Kumogakure.
Nara Shikaku proposed Fortress Plan under this situation. It had an advantage in the early stage, but now Stone Ninja has obviously reacted.
"Stone Ninja's method is really weird."
Nara Shikaku was thinking about it, and suddenly he couldn't help laughing. Transformation Technique, as one of the basic Three Basic Jutsu, was played out by Stone Ninja.
Yamanaka Inoichi looked at Nara Shikaku and said worriedly, "Stone Ninja should have obtained the information about Sniper Rifle and Four-Piece Potion Set."
"It's a matter of time." Nara Shikaku quickly flipped through various information, closed his eyes and pondered, "Transformation Technique is probably just a test, they must have plans for the follow-up."
"Then what should we do now?" Akimichi Choza next to him looked at Nara Shikaku out of habit.
"Design a set of secret sign language identification. We have a great chance of winning this battle. They have no chance." Nara Shikaku opened his eyes and looked at the map on the table with bright eyes.
In Stone Ninja camp, Commander Mahiru's table was covered with intelligence papers, and he himself was writing and drawing on a piece of paper.
Jonin Hi-ko walked around the camp with a frown on his face and said anxiously, "Mahiru, have you thought of a way?"
Mahiru raised his head, seeming a little dissatisfied with his thoughts being interrupted, and shook his head and said, "Through the information from Hidden Leaf Village's spy and the test conducted by Transformation Technique this time, it can be basically concluded that Hidden Leaf Village has mastered a long-range hidden weapon, which is extremely powerful, and this hidden weapon is most likely held by the Hyuga Clan."
"And their medicine should be produced by the Uchiha Clan. A spy sent information that Uchiha Clan had purchased some experimental equipment in large quantities."
"Then what?" Hi-ko looked at Mahiru with expectant eyes, hoping that he, who was always resourceful, could come up with a solution.
"No then" Mahiru rolled his eyes and said in a helpless tone, "They have a great advantage. Now a lot of manpower is on Kumogakure's side. What we have to do is not to attack, but to stabilize the situation."
"You said they are going to counterattack?" Hi-ko had a look of disbelief on his face.
"It's not impossible to take advantage of this lunatic Third Raikage to stir up trouble and quickly get rid of us. In this way, Hidden Leaf Village will gain a strategic advantage. If I were the commander, I would do this."
Hidden Leaf Village camp, Hizashi Hyuga and the rest of the Hyuga Clan tribe stood in the open space in front, looking at the commander Namikaze Minato in front.
To be honest, Hizashi Hyuga was not satisfied with Namikaze Minato's replacement of Lord Orochimaru as the frontline commander at first. Although Namikaze Minato was good in strength, his achievements and prestige were not enough to serve as a commander.
However, in several battles, Namikaze Minato proved his strength, harvesting the lives of Stone Ninja on the battlefield at lightning speed. Now some people are vaguely calling him "Yellow Flash".
Standing in front of many ninjas, Bomen Minato took a deep breath, with a solemn expression on his face, and said loudly, "Comrades, we and Iwagakure have now dispatched a large number of manpower to the border of Land of Lightning. This place has become a second battlefield."
"But that doesn't mean it's not important here."
"If we can break through Iwagakure's defense line first, Hidden Leaf Village will gain a strategic advantage, and can advance, attack, retreat or defend."
"After discussion with staff officer Shikaku, we decided to launch a counterattack."
"The village has sent the third batch of potions. Everyone will receive a set of potions later."
Looking at Konoha Ninja who was getting ready, Namikaze Minato turned to Nara Shikaku and asked, "Senior Shikaku, do you think Stone Ninja will be prepared?"
Nara Shikaku held his chin, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "We have also been confronting Stone Ninja for more than a month. The other party's commander is very stable, not simple, and may be prepared."
"However, with Sniper Rifle and the potion, we can directly overwhelm them with great force. They will not be our opponents."
"Yeah" Namikaze Minato nodded, feeling a lot more relaxed, and joked, "Nara Clan, as the largest supplier of medicinal materials, seems to have made a lot of money this time."
Nara Shikaku shook his head with a smile and joked, "We earn hard-earned money, but your disciples are the ones who really make a lot of money. The price of medicine is so high!"
"Yes." Namikaze Minato said with some emotion in his tone, with a happy smile on his face, "I really didn't expect that Obito could become the patriarch of the Uchiha Clan and be able to do such great things."
"Uchiha Clan's contribution this time is indeed not small." Nara Shikaku thought about Hokage quickly promoting Namikaze Minato as the commander this time, and patted Namikaze Minato on the shoulder, with a meaningful expression on his face. "Minato, you have a good disciple!"
At noon, with the sun shining brightly, Konoha Ninja stood neatly on the front line and launched their first counterattack.
Hizashi Hyuga, as a sniper, was arranged to cover the rear of the team.
After so many days of adaptation, Hizashi Hyuga now has the consciousness of a sniper. He immediately found a commanding height, quietly threw himself on the ground, covered it with some camouflage, and began to observe the enemy's situation.
Using Byakugan to look at the magnifying glass, everything was very clear to Hizashi Hyuga's eyes, including the veins of leaves and the lines of insects. Hizashi Hyuga slowly adjusted its position and looked at Stone Ninja's camp.
There are rows of khaki tents with Stone Ninja flags flying high on top, but strangely, the entire camp is empty.
"Nobody!"
Hizashi Hyuga opened Byakugan and looked carefully again, but still didn't find it.
Picking up Walkie-Talkie, Hizashi Hyuga tuned to the channel of commander Namikaze Minato, and said loudly, "Sir Minato, Stone Ninja camp is empty."
"Stone Ninja slipped away." Namikaze Minato frowned and looked at Nara Shikaku, looking a little regretful.
Nara Shikaku looked unsurprised. He looked at the map on the table, pointed at a valley and smiled, "They should be on the top of the mountain. If we want to enter Land of Earth from here, we must pass through this valley. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is also condescending, making it difficult for us to capture."
Namikaze Minato looked at the map carefully and shook his head regretfully. "No chance."
Nara Shikaku turned around and looked in the direction of the valley, smiling amusingly, "It seems we have encountered a difficult opponent!"
