After full-scale war broke out in the Land of Rivers, Sunagakure had already begun finding every possible way to deploy more ninja to the battle.
Sunagakure had committed a considerable number of ninja to the Land of Rivers battlefield, but Konoha would only have more.
They held no advantage in numbers, none in ninja quality, and were even left far behind by Konoha in logistics and every other aspect.
One could only imagine how much pressure that old woman Chiyo was under.
Chiyo had already been displeased when a group had previously been pulled from the camp, because withdrawing some ninja would cause Sunagakure's front line to contract.
As Sunagakure's front line contracted, Konoha would continue advancing.
Over time, Konoha's original slight advantage would steadily grow larger.
Now that the Third Kazekage wanted to withdraw another group of ninja as reinforcements, it was already impressive that Chiyo had not cursed him out on the spot.
"But hasn't the village's defensive line already begun to contract? If we keep pulling people away, the pressure will only grow greater."
Rasa could not help being somewhat shocked.

There were some things she could not say to Rasa, and some problems she could
