Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

Orochimaru introduced the people who would participate in the combat meeting to Dihuangmaru.

"This is Nara Shikajo, from the Nara clan, he is the military advisor of the northern battlefield! This is Hyuga Aotan, the elder of the Hyuga clan, responsible for coordinating the perception forces of the northern battlefield! This is Yamanaka Muyu, from the Yamanaka clan, responsible for intelligence exploration of the northern battlefield! This is Akamichi Akafue, from the Akimichi clan, responsible for logistics support of the northern battlefield! These two are Yamashiro Takera and Yukimura Akimune, Konoha jonin, my assistants and think tanks! As for Kurama Hiyun, who is in charge of the medical team, he was temporarily transferred to the western front to cooperate with Tsunade's detoxification work, and is not here now!"

After listening to Orochimaru's introduction, Dihuangwan nodded in greeting. Orochimaru also introduced Dihuangwan to everyone, "This is the new deputy commander, combat hero, Konoha's Little Water God Dihuangwan!"

Of course everyone knew Dihuang Wan’s identity, but they didn’t expect him to be so young!

All those present were senior executives from the front line, either in high positions or with great strength. Although they were surprised at Dihuang Wan's age, they did not show any unnecessary reaction and no one came out to question him.

"Most of these people are Sarutobi Hiruzen's confidants, including Ino-Shika-Cho. The one from the Hyuga clan is also a big shot at the level of a head clan elder. Although I have never heard of the other two think tanks, those who can be trained as think tanks are all people that Sarutobi Hiruzen trusts and respects!" Dihuangwan thought.

"No wonder I was late for half a month. Orochimaru was just talking and didn't really do anything. I'm afraid that even if I didn't take up the post, with these people around, there would be no problems on the northern battlefield!" Dihuangwan thought again.

After all, the anime doesn't describe much about World War II. Even without me, Konoha still won! Now with my joining, Konoha will only win more thoroughly!

"As the deputy commander, Dihuangmaru has just taken office and is not familiar with many things on the battlefield. I called you here this time to help Dihuangmaru understand the situation as soon as possible and discuss the next plan!" said Orochimaru.

Military strategist Nara Shikajo nodded, unfolded the northern battlefield map on his desk, and said, "Now, because of Hanzo, Konoha and the three villages have signed an agreement to cease fire within the Rain Country! Withdraw from the Rain Country's territory! Now the Konoha ninjas have basically evacuated!"

"The Sunagakure faction is now evacuating to the west front and confronting my western front troops in the River Country!"

"The Iwagakure side has sent ninja troops to break through to the border of our Fire Country through the Grass Country, Long Country, and Field Country! The war has spread to the territory of our Fire Country! Our border defense troops stationed at the junction of the three countries have fought with Iwagakure several times, and both have won and lost, but the situation can still be controlled. When the Iwagakure troops are evacuated from the Rain Country and dispatched to the three countries, I'm afraid it will be time for us to face a fierce battle!" said Nara Shikashiro.

Both the Land of Grass and the Land of Dragons had ninja villages, but their strength was too weak and they were not qualified to participate in the war. The Land of Rice had no ninja village. It was only after Orochimaru left the Akatsuki organization that he established the Sound Village in the Land of Rice!

"So, our top priority on the northern front is to drive Iwagakure out of the border of the Land of Fire!" Nara Shikagi added.

Dihuangwan looked at the map carefully. "Since the focus of the battle on the northern front has shifted from the Rain Country, the location of my headquarters should also be adjusted and moved to the north!"

Orochimaru said: "You are right. We have planned to move the headquarters in two days. Only a hundred ninjas will be left here to prevent any sudden changes in the Rain Country!"

"Dihuangmaru, whether you are the deputy commander or I am the commander, we will go to the front line to fight in person! You must be prepared!" Orochimaru said again.

"Of course, going to the front line is a must, and I have some ideas!" Dihuangwan said.

"I apply to form an elite team, and I will personally select the members! And I will personally lead this team to carry out decapitation missions! Specializing in sniping the high-ranking officials and strong men of Iwagakure!" Dihuangwan continued.

After saying that, everyone looked at Dihuang Wan strangely. They obviously didn't expect Dihuang Wan to undertake the most difficult task personally.

"Dihuangwan-kun, the decapitation mission is extremely dangerous, so we need to think carefully!" Orochimaru said.

"Senior Orochimaru, precisely because it is extremely dangerous, I applied to lead the team myself. Now in the entire northern battlefield, the strongest person besides you is me. Only if I lead the team myself can the decapitation mission achieve the greatest results!" Dihuangmaru insisted.

Dihuang Wan did not say that his other important purpose was to fight with strong men and verify his new abilities!

Moreover, if Dihuang Wan had not lost his perception ability, he would be able to complete the decapitation mission alone! There would be no need to apply for a team!

Everyone was silent for a moment, obviously questioning Dihuang Wan's adventure.

But Orochimaru finally said: "Okay, you can form a special operations team. I will give you a list of ninjas and you can choose the members yourself! But everything has to wait until the command center is transferred!"

Dihuang Wan nodded in agreement.

If Dihuangwan can really successfully snipe some of the opponent's high-level personnel and strong men, it will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to the Iwagakure forces, and Konoha's advantage will be even greater!

Afterwards, everyone discussed the battlefield situation for a while, and did not disperse until late at night!

"Mr. Dihuangmaru, have a good rest tonight and don't forget our competition tomorrow!" Orochimaru said before leaving the command center.

"I understand, Senior Orochimaru!" Dihuangwan said speechlessly.

You want to be tortured so badly! Okay! I'll satisfy you tomorrow!

A staff member led Dihuangwan to his tent. As the deputy commander, he also had his own tent. The tent was not as big as Orochimaru's, but it was fully equipped with bedding, desks, etc.!

After the staff left, Dihuang Wan unfolded the northern battlefield map and thought about the specific plan of the decapitation operation.

"I have lost my perception ability, so the team needs a perceptive ninja. A ninja from the Hyuga clan will be a good choice!" Dihuangwan thought.

"I also need a genjutsu ninja to reduce the enemy's ability to effectively resist!"

"We need a trap-laying master to slow down the enemy's pursuit after we evacuate!"

"We need one or two powerful ninjutsu-type ninjas who know combination ninjutsu to provide cover and divert the enemy's attention!"

"With me, we will have a team of six people, neither too many nor too few. It's enough to carry out the decapitation mission!" Dihuang Wan thought.

Dihuang Wan sat cross-legged on the ground, practicing Tai Chi Shui Xuan Gong to refine the power of Gui Yuan, and replaced rest with practice until dawn.

At dawn, Dihuang Wan interrupted his practice, took out the Uzumaki clan's basic sealing technique scroll, and began to study it, hoping to master the spatial imprint as soon as possible and step into the threshold of the Flying Thunder God!

It was eight o'clock soon, and Orochimaru came to Dihuangwan's tent, "Dihuangwan-kun, are you up? Let's have breakfast together!"

Inside the tent, Dihuangwan put away the scroll, regained consciousness and said, "Senior Orochimaru, I'll be right there!"

After saying that, he walked out of the tent.
