Ninja Senjutsu Master

After nearly ten years of steady development, the number of ninjas in Yuyin Village has doubled to more than [-], but most of them are auxiliary ninjas, engaged in medical, education, construction and other fields.

The number of full-time fighting ninjas is only over 3000. Facing [-] enemy ninjas, it is indeed a bit stretched.

In Yuying's office, the last pre-war meeting.

Nagato's fighting spirit was high: "Leave Cloud Hidden Village to me, and I will bring back the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki!"

"No problem, then I'll stop Konoha's attack."

Hirono smiled and nodded. He was very confident in Nagato's strength. Although the Eight-Tails was very strong, Nagato could match the Ninja Village on his own, and the ability of the Rinnegan was very capable of restraining the tailed beasts.

"Leave the Iwa ninja to the Suna ninja to deal with. The two villages can be considered old enemies."

Sunagakure Village has experienced many heavy losses, and its military strength was almost wiped out. Since Ye Cang came to power, the situation of Ninja Village has improved. With sufficient financial support, the number of ninjas has increased rapidly.

When defending on the ground, it is not too difficult for the Sand Ninja to resist the Five Thousand Rock Ninja. At least it will not be a problem to sustain it for a few months.

The only unsettling factor is Tsuchikage Onoki. Regardless of qualifications, combat experience, or the power of escape techniques, Ye Cang is no match for Onoki.

"Let's go!"

Nagato and Konan headed to the southern coast with [-] troops, Hongye led [-] troops to the eastern border, and Yahiko was in charge of logistics, and all material deployment was arranged by him.

The Kingdom of Akatsuki is not large. In just two hours, the team brought by Hongye arrived at the border stronghold and joined the guarding ninja troops.

"Sir, Konoha's troops are gathered in Mount Akita, fifty kilometers away."

Kana took out the map. Akita Mountain is Konoha's newly built combat base. Its main purpose is to guard against the Kingdom of Akatsuki. It is located in the center of the border and can quickly provide support to every stronghold.

Hongye looked at the map and couldn't help but smile; "Let your men have a good rest and prepare for battle at night."

At this moment, in the Akita Mountain combat conference room, Orochimaru, Shikaku, Fugaku and other elite jonin frowned and discussed the combat plan.

"In this battle, we will face the legion led by Payne."

This sentence alone made the atmosphere twice as heavy!

"I drew the lowest lot."

Shikaku sighed softly. The most terrifying combat power in the Kingdom of Akatsuki is undoubtedly Pain. One person alone has the strength of a village.

Whether it is the power of the tailed beast, the power of wood escape that is comparable to the first generation, or the powerful fairy magic, it is irresistible.

That is a man with no weaknesses!

Facing Payne, there seems to be no other way to deal with it except the crowd tactics.

But Konoha can't do this. With so little wealth left, if they are completely defeated, Konoha will exist in name only.

Seeing the low morale, Shikaku changed the subject: "Although Payne is powerful, our primary target is not him. There is still hope of victory in this war!"

He pointed to the battle map. Both sides occupied the border with red and blue flags. Among them, the blue flags representing Konoha were more numerous, and their military strength was several times that of the other side!

"The Kingdom of Akatsuki is not the Kingdom of Rain. The border is very long. Even Pain cannot take care of all places."

Everyone present understood instantly. Yamanaka Haiichi asked: "What tactics did you use to deal with Hanzo?"

During the Second Ninja War, Konoha attacked the Land of Rain, but Hanzo was too strong, causing the battle to stalemate.

Later, Konoha used the Sannin as a spear to forcefully hold Hanzo back, and other fronts attacked with all their strength, defeating the Rain Ninja to a complete defeat.

It was not until Pain appeared later and formed a rivalry with Hanzo that the Rain Country avoided war.

But the premise of all this is that the Kingdom of Rain has a small territory. Now the Kingdom of Akatsuki does not have this advantage. Even Payne cannot take care of the nearly a thousand miles of eastern border.

However, when you do this, a big mountain is placed in front of everyone!

"So, who's going to hold Pain back?"

Payne is a hurdle that cannot be overcome. Even the Fifth Hokage Orochimaru cannot deal with Payne alone.

No one said anything. Everyone knew what it meant to face Pain. Even the proud Uchiha clan did not dare to take on this important task.

Shikaku took a deep breath and glanced at everyone, finally stopping at Hinata Hiashi and Aburame.

"Hinata, Aburame, Yamanaka, and our Nara clan, we will complete the task of delaying Pain!"

As soon as these words came out, Rizu and Haiyi had ugly expressions, while others felt relieved. As long as they did not face Pain, the rest of the Akatsuki Kingdom's troops would be vulnerable.

Ding Zao slapped the table and said eagerly: "Shikaku, Nara and the Yamazaka are fighting together, how can we, the Akimichi clan, be left out!"

Pig, Deer and Die have been allies since the Warring States Period and have a very close relationship with each other.

Shikaku shook his head slowly: "Dingzuo, our purpose is not to kill Pain."

The purpose is to hold Pain down, so there is no need for purely offensive ninjas!

Yamanaka and Hinata are perceptive ninjas on the battlefield. They can accurately find Pain's position from far and near, and Yamanaka can also communicate Pain's movements in a timely manner.

The insects of the Aburame clan can disguise themselves as ninjas to confuse the enemy, interfere with Akatsuki's judgment, and at the same time lure Pain to attack, leaving the opponent exhausted.

The Nara clan is the last guarantee. Once the team's location is found by Payne, they are responsible for restraining Payne with their shadows and giving their companions time to escape!

Hinata Hizashi and Aburame Shi were slightly startled, and the dissatisfaction in their hearts quickly disappeared. This general staff officer had the fate of the entire Nara clan on his hands, and no one could blame him.

Ding Zuo still wanted to speak. No matter what the outcome of such a dangerous plan, the Nara clan would definitely suffer heavy losses!

"We're facing Pain!"

Shikaku stopped Ding Zao with his eyes and shouted: "During the Nine-Tails Rebellion, everyone saw how powerful Pain was. It is impossible to hold him back without sacrifice!"

Everyone was silent, Pain was undoubtedly Konoha's heartache, and it made them breathless.

"Time is running out. This war must be fought quickly. Every moment of delay, the more ninjas will die at the hands of Payne!"

Shikaku looked at the map and quickly assigned tasks to other Jonin. Only by invading the Kingdom of Akatsuki could Konoha take the initiative.

"What a brilliant brain."

Orochimaru licked his tongue. He appreciated smart people. Compared to bloodstained families such as Uchiha and Hinata, the foundation of the Nara clan was their brains.

"What a pity. If you could become my assistant, you would be able to use all your talents."

Orochimaru felt a little regretful in his heart. The Nara clan had outstanding intelligence, but very few engaged in medical research unless they were trained from an early age.

"Remember Shikaku's child is three years old. Maybe he can be accepted as a disciple."

He thought for a while and quickly rejected the idea. Soon, he might be like Master Sarutobi and resign.
