Senju Chen's voice stirred up ripples in the silent command center like pebbles thrown into the lake.
His finger that landed on the Land of Earth map seemed to be carrying a huge force, causing Orochimaru and Hanzo of the Salamander present to focus their attention on it involuntarily.
"Harassment?" Hanzō frowned. This former Amegakure leader still believed in the iron-blooded law of the frontal battlefield. "Our morale is now at a high level, and Iwagakure was caught off guard. It is a great opportunity to pursue the victory and drive them out Land of Rain in one fell swoop!"
"Your Excellency Hanzō, drive them out, and then what?" Senju Chen turned around and asked calmly, "Then wait for the old man Ōnoki to gather all the power of Iwagakure and launch a full-scale war that sweeps the entire Land of Rain? Can we stop it once, can we stop it the second and third time?"
Senju Chen's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the flame in Hanzō's heart.
He looked at the war-torn land on the map, the muscles on his face twitched, and finally turned into a long sigh.
"Then what do you mean..."
"Break it into parts, turn passive into active." Senju Chen's eyes flashed with a sharp light that did not match his age, "We do not need a fixed front, nor do we need a clear goal. I want our ninjas, like water, to penetrate into every inch of Land of Earth's land."
He walked to the map and quickly drew invisible lines on it with his fingers.
"Destroy their supply lines, assassinate their heralds, create panic in their villages and towns, burn down their granaries... I will set their backyards on fire, make them exhausted, let their army be led by the nose by us, and eventually be dragged to death on their own land!"
"We do not seek war, only chaos! The louder the noise, the better, and the fewer fights, the better! Let them know that as long as the war does not end, Land of Earth will never have peace!"
This theory is so new to the ninjas of this era, yet so vicious.
Hanzo of the Salamander's eyes were filled with confusion at first, then shock, and finally turned into deep fear. Looking at the talkative child in front of him, he felt the chill from his soul for the first time.
This kid... he was simply born for war!
"Hehehe..." Orochimaru let out a low and pleasant laugh, "What a brilliant plan, Little Chen. Use the smallest cost to get the greatest results, and play with the enemy at your fingertips."
Senju Chen then turned his attention to the Five-Tails Jinchuriki man who was tied up layer by layer by Wood Release and Sealing Jutsu and was still unconscious.
"He is our biggest bargaining chip."
Senju Chen's mouth curved into a cold arc.
"Send someone to tell Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki that his big treasure is now in our hands. If you want to go back, you can exchange it for sufficient war compensation and all the territory they occupied."
"Tell him that we don't have the patience to wait too long. If he wants to delay..." Senju Chen paused "... then get ready for a Konoha version, a brand new Five-Tails Jinchuriki."
Hiss--
Hanzō took a deep breath.
This is a naked threat! A knife is placed on Iwagakure's neck!
A village's Tailed Beast is taken away by an enemy village and turned into one's own use. This is a shame and humiliation that is a hundred times more serious than defeat. It is enough to make Tsuchikage's prestige plummet and even shake the foundation of the entire village.
Orochimaru's eyes are filled with admiration for Senju Chen. War is about unscrupulous means.
Strength, wisdom, skill... This disciple of mine was simply born for troubled times.
When Senju Chen's conditions were placed on Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki's desk through special channels.
This actor, who is known for his toughness and stubbornness, is caught in an unprecedented dilemma.
Handing over compensation and territory? This is an insult to Iwagakure, and he cannot accept it.
Can you give up Five-Tails? This is even more impossible! That is the strategic deterrence that the village relies on for survival, and it is the cornerstone for Iwagakure to stand on Shinobi World!
"It's too much to bully someone! It's too much to bully someone!!!"
The roar of Ōnoki, accompanied by the light of Dust Release, once again turned the new desk that had just been replaced into nothingness.
Now he can only assemble heavy troops on the border and assume a decisive battle, but at the same time he has to bite the bullet and start a long wrangling and negotiation with Konoha.
However, he soon discovered that what he was facing was not a traditional war at all.
Just when Iwagakure's large troops were standing guard on the border, preparing to receive a thunderous strike from the coalition forces of Konoha and Amegakure, their rear was in complete chaos.
Teams composed of Konoha and Amegakure elites appeared like ghosts in the hinterland of Land of Earth.
They never fight with large armies, move as fast as the wind, and have clear goals.
Today, the food and grass shipped to the front line were burned.
Tomorrow, important bridges will be completely destroyed.
The day after tomorrow, a Iwagakure executive responsible for delivering intelligence was found dead in the wild.
The entire Land of Earth was shaken for a moment, and everything was covered with soldiers. Iwagakure's army was pinned to the border and could not move. However, the troops responsible for clearing up the enemy could not even touch the shadow of the enemy. Instead, they repeatedly fell into traps and suffered heavy casualties.
Ōnoki feels like a giant who has been bitten by countless mosquitoes. He has no strength, but can't hit those damn mosquitoes. He can only watch himself being sucked blood continuously and slowly become weak.
And on the frontal battlefield of Land of Rain, the clarion call for counterattack was officially sounded.
Senju Chen was not in a hurry for success. He used the strongholds previously occupied by Iwagakure and the small groups of troops deliberately brought in as the best "whetstones."
Under his command, the coalition forces advanced steadily with minimal casualties and continued to regain lost ground. Every battle was a coordinated exercise, allowing this new coalition force to quickly form an efficient and deadly whole in the flames of war.
Finally, they arrived at Iwagakure, the most important military fortress on the Land of Rain border.
This fortress was built by Iwagakure's best ninja troops from Earth Release. The walls are towering and impregnable. They are covered with fortifications and traps, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Iwagakure's defenders relied on their solid city defenses to resist stubbornly.
The coalition forces made several strong attacks, but were forced back by the Earth Release Ninjutsu waves that were like waves on a city wall, and the casualties began to inevitably increase.
For a time, the high morale of the coalition forces showed a slight stagnation.
At this moment, Senju Chen slowly walked to the front of the formation.
Under the gazes of thousands of ninjas who looked on with admiration, awe, or curiosity, he just bit his fingers lightly, pressed his hands Hand Seals violently to the ground.
"Summoning Technique!"
Bang--!!!
Huge white smoke rose into the sky, and a vast, ancient and powerful aura suddenly descended!
The smoke dissipated, and a majestic giant ape with hair like snow and golden eyes appeared in front of everyone.
Monkey King·Enma makes a shining appearance again!
