Swing the knife from the leaves

Two hours later, Yagura returned to the Mist Ninja Camp from there.

Come to the conference room in the middle.

Entering the tent, a group of high-level fog ninjas were sitting inside.

The arrival of Mizukage made everyone stop talking and look at the shadow.

Yagura walked to the head of the long table and sat down.

Asked to both sides:

"Have the personnel transfers for the two attacks been completed?"

A senior Mist Ninja member immediately replied:

"Fourth generation, the two thousand reserve troops have been mobilized, and the 2000 people who attacked at night are already resting."

Yagura nodded, then looked at a jounin behind the desk.

"Qing, how did your reconnaissance work go?"

The jounin with an eyepatch on his right eye immediately looked at Mizukage and replied steadily:

"Yondaime-sama, reconnaissance shows that there is no large-scale troop movement in Konoha, everything is business as usual."

"it is good"

Hearing this answer, Yagura smiled.

Looking at this subordinate's right eye, there was a look of satisfaction.

This time, after several months of war, the Mist Ninjas have not achieved many results so far.

But the eye roll Ao gets is definitely at the top of the list.

As the squadron leader of the Mist Ninja reconnaissance force, Ao has been competing for intelligence with the bloody families in Konoha.

The defeat in the early war was a disgrace to the entire reconnaissance force.

This also caused the angry Fourth Mizukage to cancel his position as captain of the reconnaissance force.

Throw the unfortunate guy behind to live in retirement.

And Ao gave the Fourth Mizukage a hard fight.

Leading the team alone deep into the back of Konoha.

Steal important information from the enemy.

He was discovered by the Konoha Byakugan reconnaissance team, but escaped.

He even took advantage of the enemy's carelessness and directly killed a clan member of the Konoha Hyuga clan.

Captured that guy's eyes.

Although in the end he was the only one from the 20-person team who came back.

But a white eye in Qing's hand made him famous.

Konoha issued a wanted order for him, and the head of the Hyuga clan even issued a statement that there would be a reward of 2000 million taels for Ao's head.

Yagura had great expectations for this ninja of his generation.

Ao's right eye was injured during this mission, so Yagura directly approved his use of this Byakugan.

After adapting, Qing successfully completed various reconnaissance missions with the help of Baiyan.

The importance of youth is also becoming more and more prominent in the army.

After this battle, Yagura intended to recommend him as the new head of the reconnaissance force.

Withdrawing his gaze and calming down his smile, Yagura looked at everyone and said:

"Now that everything is ready, let's start planning this time."

"Yes"

Everyone stood up immediately and answered in unison.

The Fourth Mizukage Yagura also stood up and said seriously to everyone:

"Working together with you all, we will win this battle!"

Everyone responded immediately:

"Definitely!"

A strong momentum rose in the tent, and the top brass quickly left.

The entire Mist Ninja camp's prepared troops immediately took action.

Ten minutes later, the Mist Ninja army launched an attack on Konoha's first line of defense.

The Konoha troops stationed there immediately attacked, and the two sides started a battle at the same place.

At this moment, ten kilometers behind, inside Konoha's camp.

"report"

A Hyuga clan member rushed into the tent.

Looking at Nara Shikaku who was correcting the document, he said:

"Chief of Staff, the Mist Ninja troops have mobilized on a large scale and are pushing towards the first line of defense."

Shikaku stopped reviewing the documents and said to the Hyuga tribesman:

"Understood, you go down and rest."

"Yes"

The panting Hyuga tribesman immediately exited the tent.

Shikaku said to a hidden ANBU next to him:

"Go and inform the Hyuga clan leader on the front line that Konoha's reinforcements will arrive within 10 minutes."

"Yes"

The ANBU accepted the order and then left the place.

After finishing speaking, Shikaku said to the two guards outside the tent:

"Notify the Fourth Brigade to immediately support the first battlefield."

"clear"

The two ninjas standing outside accepted the order and immediately left the place.

After the troop mobilization was completed, Shikaku stood there, looking at the round sand table in the middle of the tent with a thoughtful look on his face.

This time the Mist Ninja's attack was the same as it had been for a month.

Attack Konoha's first line of defense head-on.

There are about two thousand Konoha garrison troops there.

There are also many Uchiha clan members among them, and they are considered the strongest among the three lines of defense.

And because of the last eye-rolling incident.

The leader of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Hizashi, came specially from the third battlefield and brought many elite Hyuga members with him.

Because Kirigakure Jonin Ao is only active on the first battlefield.

Shikaku did not stop this matter, but only made some exchanges between some of Konoha's normal troops.

The third battlefield now consists of the main force of the Hyuga clan and about a thousand garrison troops.

And Hizashi also knew that revenge had a limit, so he left his younger brother Hizashi on the third battlefield.

He will lead the Hyuga tribe in that place.

As for the second battlefield, there were the fewest troops there, less than a thousand, plus Fugaku, the main force and leader of the Uchiha clan.

But that battlefield became the place the Mist Ninja least wanted to go to.

Only the Kaguya clan is willing to fight those red eyes.

There are about a thousand troops staying in the rear camp.

The three lines of defense are located in three places that block the advance of the Mist Ninja. The distance between the three parties is not too far, and they are not far from the rear camp.

If the Kiri ninja concentrated their forces to attack, Shikaku would be able to immediately mobilize his troops for reinforcements.

This time, the Kiri Ninja's attack on the first line of defense was a little different than Shikaku expected.

According to the past Mizukage's style of play, the attacking position should be changed.

He is not an opponent who likes to attack hard.

Especially after the Sand Ninja attacked and the Mist Ninja mobilized many troops.

If something goes wrong, there must be something strange.

Shikaku looked at the sand table and finally decided to go to the front line and personally command the troops.

After all, if there is an emergency, it will happen.

The two blood-stained family ninjas will not obey the orders of the normal garrison.

And Uchiha and Hinata have always refused to accept anyone.

Easy to mess up.

Just thinking about it gave Shikaku a headache.

Before accepting the Third Generation's appointment, he had heard about the problems between the Hyuga and Uchiha clans.

One family is arrogant, and the other is old-fashioned.

At the same time, they are all somewhat self-assertive.

Even if Shikaku gets along well with the clan leaders of the two clans.

But this cannot change the nature of these two great clans.

After several months of fighting, these bloodstained families have already had more than a dozen conflicts.

Civilians and Uchiha, civilians and Hinata, Hinata and Uchiha.

The three parties are like three magnets that repel each other, but cannot come together.

Shikaku made considerable efforts to this end, but with little success.

In the end, Shikaku could only compromise and distribute the three lines of defense on the battlefield.

First, separate Hinata and Uchiha, the two who are fighting the most.

Then slowly arrange the normal troops.

After a series of operations, Konoha's three lines of defense were more than enough to defend, but not enough to attack.

The young Shikaku finally understood what the Third Hokage's instructions before departure meant.

It turns out that with such a force, holding the line of defense is already the highest expectation.

Otherwise, with Shikaku's ability, he holds two trump cards, and his troops are of equal strength.

The battle line has long been pressed firmly on the coastline, and they will fight one by one when they come up.

It's a pity that the big king and the little king of our own family come together. Instead of fighting with the enemy, they have to fight with their own people.

After walking out of the tent, Shikaku sighed helplessly.

"Hey, this is Konoha."
