Tanokuni, one of Orochimaru's strongholds. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, Orochimaru was sitting on his bed, and he had just taken the medicine that Dou had prepared for him. In the Konoha Collapse Plan, he was seriously injured by his teacher, the third generation Hokage, and before he could recover, he was severely injured by the sun in the Valley of the End. After going through the reincarnation in a hurry, Orochimaru's physical condition has become extremely bad. So much so that now Orochimaru has to keep using drugs to maintain his life.

"Damn...... Sasuke grows up quickly, and when Sasuke grows up, I can occupy that perfect body. ”

Orochimaru said in a tone that was almost trembling, and he was only able to stay awake when he was in such extreme pain.

"Dou, what's the situation at the front line recently, you can report it to me. ”

Dou looked at Orochimaru with some hesitation, he was now very worried about Orochimaru's physical condition, and he had begun to weigh some things to tell Orochimaru.

"Tell me what's going on......!

Orochimaru said in a cold tone, and when he spoke at this time, he was mixed with a sizzling sound like a snake spitting out a letter, which sounded chilling.

"Yes......"

Dou said in a daze, and at the same time raised his hand to push his eyes up and wiped the cold sweat from the corners of his forehead.

"After the last time we organized a big counterattack, Konoha recalled the original commander, Kakashi. However, the Konoha ninjas in the direction of Tanokuni did not retreat completely, but replaced the commander with Yazuki Haruki, and the troops below were also changed from the dark department to the ninjas of the ninja department. ”

After listening to Dou's report, Orochimaru's face showed an indescribable expression.

"I can't believe that Tsunade would make such a decision to send such a difficult figure over, it seems that we are really going to take it seriously. ”

Orochimaru said with a sneer, and the Dou on the side also nodded approvingly, they hadn't forgotten that they were almost killed by Qingyang in the Valley of the End.

"Tsuki Haruyo, he's not the same as Kakashi. He has a strong and decisive character, and he will never let go once he has his eyes on something. If he comes to Tanokuni, we need to be prepared for a protracted tug-of-war. ”

Orochimaru said with a headache. Now he and Qingyang can be regarded as old rivals. Qingyang has grown from a young shinobi with good talent to the current minister of forbearance, and it can be said that he has stepped on the blood of their ninja step by step. For Haruyo, Orochimaru knew that he needed to take it more seriously than he did with Kakashi.

......

In the southern part of Tanokuni, the headquarters of Konoha's garrison.

Qingyang didn't rush to attack after coming here, and the first thing he had to do now was to find out the reason for the dark department's fiasco here.

Kakashi had returned to the village only after he had arrived, and the night before Kakashi had left, he and Kakashi had a long conversation with them all night. If it was only a suspicion before coming, then after learning about the situation from Kakashi, Haruyo was almost certain that there was definitely a traitor in this defeat!

Kakashi summed up the asymmetry of intelligence.

A lot of the information Kakashi received about Orochimaru's stronghold in the Nagata Valley was wrong, and the location of the stronghold and the number of enemies in the information were different from the source of the information. On the Konoha side, according to the dark department who fled back, at the beginning of the battle, the other party seemed to know their staffing, and killed most of the dark department with high efficiency. The team that had previously collected information on Orochimaru's stronghold also died in that battle.

Such a situation of no evidence also leads to why all the blame falls on Kakashi in the end. Since there were no witnesses who could prove that the defeat was due to a problem with the intelligence, everyone would only say that Kakashi had miscommanded and that he was very cowardly and did not lead the team himself. Instead, he ignored the fact that the commander of the Cloud Hidden side invited Kakashi to negotiate matters that day.

After Kakashi left, Haruyo stood in the middle of the command that belonged to him, looking at the sand table with some headaches.

It was only after intuitively seeing the sand table that Haruki understood why Kakashi was inexplicably defeated. The location of the Nagata Valley is really important, and its presence has cut off the battle line on the Konoha side. At the same time, it was also because of Konoha's defeat in the Nagata Valley that it led to the chaos and erosion on the front line of the current Konoha occupation area.

Qingyang looked at the map in front of him, his mind spinning rapidly.

The topography of Tanokuni is generally like a regular square, which is why it is called Tanokuni. The four sides of the square are bordered by three countries: the Land of Fire to the south, the Absolute Neutral Nation of Iron to the west, the northern part of the Land Country to the east, and the sea to the north.

The land of the current land of Tanokuni has been pulled out one by one along with the strongholds of Orochimaru, and nearly half of the land has been occupied.

Konoha entered from the north of the country of Tanokuni, and at this moment it had occupied the lower right corner and the bottom third of the square of the country of Tanokuni. And Yun Yin entered from the upper right side of this square, and at this time it had occupied the entire upper right corner of Tian Zhiguo, and was still invading inside.

In Konoha's Occupation Zone, there is a barrier between the lower right corner and the lower Occupation Zone, which is the Nagata Valley.

Looking at the sand table in front of him, Konoha's occupied area was completely divided at the moment due to the defeat in the Nagata Valley, and it was difficult to echo between the beginning and the end. This feeling is like having a hot rice ball in your mouth, and you can't spit it out, but you really can't swallow it.

"Smack!!

Qingyang suddenly hit his palm hard, startling the red beans beside him. On this expedition, Qingyang brought out a lot of available people around him, and in the village, he mainly left Hurricane and Shikamaru to contact Tsunade to preside over affairs.

"I've decided, give up all the occupied areas in the east of the Nagata Valley, shrink the personnel to the west of the Nagata Valley, rely on the Fire Forest behind us, and now fully digest the occupied areas in our hands before fighting a big battle with Orochimaru!"

After Qingyang finished saying his policy, Hongdou questioned it at that time.

"Minister, this is a bit inappropriate, isn't it? Why should we give up the large area of land to the east of the Changtian Valley when we have already occupied it?"

Regarding the question of red beans, Qingyang smiled and said.

"If people lose land, people and land will survive. The land to the east of the Nagata Valley may seem tempting, but it is actually poison for us. Because of the existence of the thorn of the Nagata Valley, we can't connect end to end. It would be too passive to leave such a large piece of land for Orochimaru to threaten us at any time.

And if he competes with Orochimaru for the Nagata Valley, it will be in his arms again. It would be unwise for us to devote our forces to a small battlefield for a long time. Directly giving up one direction, concentrating on the operation of the base area, and setting aside a large number of vital forces to be ready to dispatch at any time can play a good deterrent role in Orochimaru. ”

Hearing Qingyang say this, Hongdou suddenly realized. She is a former disciple of Orochimaru, and she is very familiar with Orochimaru's character, thinking carefully about what Qingyang just said, Orochimaru is very likely to do something like that, but she still has a question.

"But even so, there is no need for us to give up the land to the east, the occupied area on the west side of the Changtian Valley is much smaller, and the depth of our maneuver will not be reduced when we retreat there?

Just as Akinbean asked Qingyang this question, the guard who gave the order walked in from outside the headquarters.

"Lord Qingyang, the commander of the Yunyin occupation zone in our north has sent a messenger. I would like to invite you to meet with her in two hours in the buffer zone in the middle of the occupied zone to discuss the deployment of the next phase of Operation Tanokuni. ”

After the guards finished reporting, Qingyang actually let out a loud laugh, which made the ninjas in the command very curious.

After laughing, Qingyang looked at the puzzled red bean and said to her.

"Didn't you just ask me that question? You came over yourself as soon as you finished asking the answer. ”
