" Lord Kazekage, I think we can have Elder Ebizo and Lord Kazekage hold off the two Kage Level ninjas of Konoha. Then we can have Bunpuku unleash the One-Tail to slaughter the Konoha Ninja. In this way, we can easily win this war." A Sunagakure suggested to Rasa based on the current situation.
Moreover, what he said made sense. As long as Konoha's ninja forces suffered unbearable losses, then no matter how unwilling Konoha was, they would have no choice but to accept defeat.
However, his suggestion was quickly rejected. "You're thinking too simply. The people of Konoha know about the arrival of the Jinchūriki. Do you think they wouldn't have some means to defend against the Tailed Beast? For a well-equipped Konoha, as long as they send more strong fighters to hold off the Kazekage and Ebizo, and then let the enemy use their Wood Release to deal with the One-Tail, not only will we not be able to win, but we might also lose the Tailed Beast. Don't forget that Wood Release is extremely effective against Tailed Beast."
The ninja's words were echoed by the surrounding high-ranking officials for a simple reason: their only advantage at present was that they possessed a Sunagakure Tailed Beast.
However, Konoha has more advantages, with many powerful ninja under its command. If Konoha is willing to send someone to hold off Ebizo, and then let Wood Release off against the One-Tail, not only will they not win the war, but they will also lose their original strategic weapon to Konoha.
"That's right. If you want to use the One-Tail to cause damage to Konoha, you can't use such a direct method. Such a method will only be easily countered by Konoha." Rasa also thought the previous suggestion was no good. He had personally fought against Kōki and Orochimaru and knew very well the strength of Konoha's two Kage Level fighters, especially Kōki's Wood Release, which made him feel particularly troubled. What if they actually used up the One-Tail?
"Could we have Bunpuku hide to the side and then suddenly appear when the fighting gets intense? That way, we might be able to avoid the Wood Release's weakness and inflict significant damage on Konoha Bunpuku."
This suggestion is quite reasonable, but there are still some problems.
"This plan will be difficult to execute. Don't forget that Konoha's retreat was due to Bunpuku's appearance. Konoha is likely wary of Bunpuku now. It's basically impossible for us to ambush Konoha with Bunpuku."
"This won't work, that won't work, so what do we do? Even with the Tailed Beast, are we still no match for Konoha?"
After being repeatedly rejected, some ninjas couldn't help but complain. "They have such powerful weapons, yet they still fear Konoha. Is Konoha really that invincible?"
A clear look of disappointment and frustration appeared on the Sand Village ninja's face, and the Sunagakure around him showed the same expression. They had originally thought that with the Tailed Beast, they could regain their lost face from Konoha, but after discussing it, they found that they still had no way to deal with it, which disappointed them greatly.
Sensing the negative emotions emanating from everyone, Rasa felt a headache coming on. Just moments ago, he was thinking about using the power of the Tailed Beast to defeat Konoha, but now it all seemed like they had already lost.
This is actually quite understandable. The people of Sunagakure had suffered many defeats and were eager for change. Bunpuku's arrival was their glimmer of hope for changing the situation. However, they later discovered that no matter how they discussed things, Konoha could handle them with ease. It was as if all their schemes were futile in the face of Konoha's overwhelming strength. This sense of powerlessness left them feeling extremely disappointed.
They realized that even with Bunpuku, it would be difficult to defeat Konoha.
This huge gap between hope and disappointment is what makes them unable to help but feel frustrated and other negative emotions.
Sensing the somber mood of the ninjas around him, just as Rasa was about to offer some words of encouragement, a familiar, aged voice came from the doorway.
"Actually, you've all misunderstood the purpose of this war."
An elderly figure pushed open the door and entered. Everyone in the conference room looked surprised upon seeing this figure.
"Sister, why are you here? Your injuries haven't healed yet." Ebizo was standing next to Rasa, immediately asked after seeing the figure.
The visitor was none other than Chiyo, who had been lying in a hospital bed after being injured. As soon as her injuries improved, she came to the meeting room, ready to solve the problem for Sunagakure.
"Hehe, I only suffered a minor injury. Orochimaru, that brat, thinks he can seriously injure me? Not so easy." Chiyo replied to her younger brother with a smile. Then, she immediately wiped the smile off her face and turned to the assembled ninjas with a look of exasperation, saying angrily, "Besides, if I hadn't shown up, you'd probably all be preparing to surrender to Konoha."
Chiyo couldn't help but be angry; the ninjas present were simply too disappointing to her.
Chiyo's words made everyone present look ashamed, but Rasa's eyes lit up after hearing Chiyo's words, and he asked Chiyo, " Elder Chiyo, do you have a way to deal with Konoha?"
Upon seeing Rasa ask the question, Chiyo suppressed her anger and slowly said, "Have you forgotten? Our goal in Sunagakure isn't to defeat Konoha, but to do our best to kill that Wood Release brat."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding ninjas suddenly realized what was happening.
Right, wasn't their original plan simply to kill the Wood Release brat and consider it a success?
After Chiyo's reminder, the surrounding high-ranking officials suddenly remembered that the purpose of this war had long since changed from winning the war to doing everything possible to kill the Wood Release brats. With this in mind, the surrounding high-ranking officials felt much more relaxed, as killing the Wood Release brats was much simpler than defeating Konoha.
" Elder Chiyo, what should we do?" The higher-ups, now understanding the situation, asked Chiyo. Although they knew they needed to kill the Wood Release brat, they still had no idea how to carry it out.
Moreover, judging from the strength of the Wood Release brat, he wouldn't be so easy to deal with, not to mention that there are countless Konoha Ninja behind Konoha brat.
"I plan to have three Kage Level shinobi gang up on Orochimaru, while the rest of the others hold him back." Chiyo explained to the crowd's questions.
However, her explanation was seen as seriously problematic by many.
" Elder Chiyo, our people are no match for Orochimaru at all."
Although Chiyo's idea was good, they didn't have enough strength to stop Orochimaru. Ordinary ninjas would only be slaughtered if they faced Orochimaru.
"Who said we should use ordinary ninjas to hold off Orochimaru? Orochimaru will naturally be dealt with by us high-ranking members."
"However, this makes it difficult to deal with the Wood Release brat; it would be hard for two Kage Level to kill him."
"Wrong, it's not two, it's three."
This completely stunned the surrounding high-ranking officials. The Sunagakure only had three Kage Level fighters; where was the fourth?
At this moment, Chiyo revealed a mysterious smile, "Isn't that fourth ninja me? Have you all forgotten that I also possess Kage Level strength?"
"But Elder Chiyo, weren't you seriously injured and unable to fight? And because of the damage to the Chikamatsu Ten Puppets, your strength..."
The Sunagakure didn't say his final words, but the meaning he wanted to convey was very clear to the high-ranking members present: Chiyo, who was injured and whose strength had greatly diminished, could no longer be considered a qualified Kage Level ninja.
Sending someone of Chiyo's skill level to the battlefield is not a good choice.
