Swing the knife from the leaves

On the southern border of Tian Country, there is an empty land.

Another retreat of the enemy, leaving many bodies behind.

Jiraiya looked at the scorched earth in front of him and sighed.

On the unrecognizable land lay one after another Konoha ninja, and pairs of medical ninjas were looking for survivors.

Not long after, the battlefield was cleared.

130 corpses covered with white cloth were placed in front of everyone.

The atmosphere changed from the excitement during the battle to the silence now.

The white-haired man standing at the front looked at this piece of white with a complicated expression.

He waved his hand and motioned to the team next to him to send them back to Konoha.

Everyone looked at the corpses loaded onto the carriage, and their faces showed sadness.

Here lay their comrades, including teachers, apprentices, and relatives.

When the corpse was gone, everyone who stood here in silence returned to their posts.

Jiraiya returned to the command post, he was going to discuss a major matter.

At the same time, Han Feng came to this country.

It's still the same town as last time, but there are no people here.

Han Feng opened the small map and looked carefully at the light spots on it.

In a radius of ten kilometers above, a few free green light spots flickered.

This is a hundred times different from the last time we came.

What is outside is a pile of yellow-green light spots, and that is the battlefield.

Closing the map, Han Feng looked at the dilapidated streets in front of him.

The last time I came here, I spent 1 taels to stay here and get information.

But in Han Feng's eyes, the hotel was in ruins and the boss was nowhere to be seen.

This place is too close to the battlefield and too far from a safe place.

Most of the things exposed to war do not end well.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Han Feng looked at the mountains in the distance.

Leaving the northern border of Konoha, the woods did not decrease, but the mountains suddenly rose up.

The altitude gradually increases, and the mountains are connected one after another.

At a distance of ten kilometers, there were three large mountains standing in front of Han Feng.

The group of light spots are also distributed in these mountains, forming a horizontal line of defense.

After the initial battle, Jiraiya relied on the enemy's insufficient intelligence system to fight a raid.

Successfully pushed the enemy back to the central position of Tian Country.

Jiraiya also thanked the mysterious strong man in his heart.

The enemy now seems to have more than 400 degrees of myopia, and will be blinded if he is a little further away.

Strong winds blew up from the streets and toward the mountains in front of them.

Han Feng followed Gale and moved forward.

Half an hour later, after crossing the protective lines, Han Feng arrived at the camp.

Standing on a big tree, Han Feng's feet were the entire northern frontier defense force of Konoha.

Combining his body aura with the surrounding nature, Han Feng did not attract anyone's attention.

Han Feng learned this skill from the invisibility talisman. He took over the soul-cutting knife technique's understanding of natural spirits and successfully learned the art of shallow concealment.

At the same time, Han Feng maximized his hearing, and the sounds below came through clearly.

In the tent in the center of the camp, Jiraiya and a group of staff were sitting around the table.

Jiraiya was talking about his plan in a deep voice, and the staff around him looked thoughtful.

"Okay, that's all my plan, do you have any suggestions?"

Putting down the document in his hand, Jiraiya asked, thinking about everyone.

"Okay, I agree with this plan"

The one who spoke out was a jounin named Miyoshi Yukihei, who was also a captain of the Konoha army.

Miyoshi's voice attracted everyone present. Jiraiya nodded to him and then looked at the remaining people.

With the beginning, the remaining people also began to express their opinions.

First of all, everyone agreed with Jiraiya's decision to withdraw to Konoha's border.

Based on intelligence superiority, Konoha pushed the Kumo ninja back to the middle of Tian Country, which was naturally a good thing.

At the same time, there is no problem in establishing a defense line based on the terrain.

This approach directly resisted the indomitable momentum of Yun Nin and dragged them firmly within the country of Tian.

But this approach has drawbacks.

This border defense line allowed Konoha to create a big target for the Kumo ninjas.

The Kumo ninja, who originally had no intelligence advantage, only needed to attack this line of defense as hard as possible.

Konoha and Kumo ninja are back to competing for strength, which is very detrimental to Konoha.

Jiraiya's troops are only seven thousand, and the reserves cannot be replenished.

However, the troops brought by Yun Nin were about [-].

The strength gap of three thousand is enough to affect the direction of the war.

So this is why everyone agrees with Jiraiya to retreat.

But then questions came up one after another, and everyone expressed their opinions on the plan.

The biggest problem is that if you retreat, the enemy will advance.

At that time, how long can the troops hold out on the northern border of Konoha? Will the enemy be allowed to reach the territory of the Land of Fire?

This issue is the most important point in the plan that cannot be ignored.

The war started for a month, and Konoha was at war with Suna Ninja and Kumo Ninja at the same time.

One village supplies two battlefields, and the consumption is greater than everyone imagined.

And the village must also be on guard against the mist ninja who has been testing in the southeast.

Materials are somewhat stretched.

The supplies in the northern army can only be said to be just enough.

But if we want to build more fortifications and fight with the Kumo ninja on the border, it won't be enough.

It is even said that once the Mist Ninjas join the war, it will be more difficult to replenish the logistics of the northern troops.

When the time comes, facing a sufficient attack by Kumo Ninja, the northern troops will be unable to sustain themselves.

Jiraiya sat at the head, listening to everyone's opinions, his face always remained calm.

After everyone finished speaking, he spoke:

"The troops have to leave, that's the first priority."

"As for the progress of Kumo Ninja, I have an idea."

Jiraiya stood up and opened the curtain behind him.

Everyone's attention was attracted to it.

A map of the Kingdom of Tian appeared in everyone's sight.

Jiraiya stood nearby and told about the follow-up plan, which was discussed with the Nara staff who stayed at the northern border.

"The country of fields, a place with many mountains."

"The battlefield between us and Yun Ninja is within this mountain range."

As he spoke, Jiraiya pointed to the location of his camp and the general area of ​​the Kumo ninja troops.

"Withdraw from here, but we can continue to harass the enemy's logistics troops based on our intelligence superiority."

"At the same time, small groups of troops are constantly dispatched to block the enemy's advance."

"When the enemy began to reach the borders of the Fire Nation, there were insufficient logistics to launch a large-scale attack."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. This is also the most suitable method now.

Konoha's troops here can't keep confronting the Kumo ninja head-on.

Only by constant harassment can the battle situation be stabilized. This is the job of the ninja.

"As for the leader of this raid, I recommend my disciple, Minato Namikaze."

After finishing the analysis of the plan, Jiraiya told everyone his choice.

"Wave Wind Minato"

Everyone sitting around the table began to think about this young man.

During the first battle of Konoha Cloud Ninja, this young man resisted the enemy AB combination alone, and finally resisted the Third Raikage and rescued Jiraiya.

The dazzling performance directly made Minato famous in the army.

"I agree"

At this time, a ninja sitting on the right spoke out. He looked very scary with a scar on his face.

"I agree."

Miyoshi Yukihei, the Jonin who had spoken out just now, agreed with Jiraiya's recommendation.

The people on the side were still a little hesitant, but when they thought of Minato's flying thunder god technique, they put down their worries.

Finally, everyone finalized the retreat plan and began to discuss the candidates for the raid.

"Ding"

"War Mission Series: Retreat Mission"

"Mission introduction: Help Konoha complete the retreat plan"

"Mission reward: [-] points"

Han Feng, who was above the camp, also received the mission notification sound at this moment.
