In the Konoha camp, Shinnosuke complained impatiently with a stack of battle reports: "Rope tree, what is there to see about these battle reports, they are all sneak attacks, escape, and sneak attacks again and again." You can't be bored alone and ask us to come with you, right?"

Rope Tree, who was inadvertently deceived by him, replied solemnly: "Although these battle reports look similar, if you pay attention to the details and compare them carefully, you can analyze some useful information!" ”

"Details?" Not only Shinnosuke, but everyone present listened curiously, wondering what new ideas he had in mind.

"Yes, there are details that give us an idea of what the enemy is thinking and doing."

"For example, this is a guerrilla battle report from the southern sand ninja side: at 7:05 in the morning in the nameless dense forest, launched a sneak attack on the enemy's about 500 ninja troops, at 7:06 our side withdrew, the enemy pursued closely, at 7:26 our side used traps and enchantments to completely get rid of the enemy, wounded 5 enemies and killed 1 enemy, our side had no casualties, and prepared for the next sneak attack."

"Look at this battle report from the sand ninja side again: at 11:03 a.m., the nameless hills, launched a sneak attack on the enemy's 482 ninja troops, at 11:08 a.m., we withdrew, and the enemy then pursued, at 11:13, our side completely asked for the pursuit, wounded 10 enemies and killed 20 enemies, our side lightly wounded 8 people, killed 1 person, and prepared to ambush the enemy army."

"You see, first of all, there was a four-hour gap between the first report and the second report."

"The first sneak attack took only one minute in the middle of a dense forest that was easy to hide, and the second one took a full five minutes in the middle of a hill with a relatively open view! And the exact number of the enemy has also been figured out by our side. What does that mean?"

Shinnosuke asked with a confused expression, "What does that mean?"

Akido said thoughtfully: "Although it is easier to launch a sneak attack in this dense forest because of the cover of trees, due to the obstruction of the line of sight, it can only be carried out at medium and close range. And the view of the hills is more open, and you only need to be in the right position to be able to sneak attack from a long distance! Therefore, a sneak attack in the hills should be safer, and it is not easy to be entangled by the other party, and the engagement time should be shorter! Why did it take a full five minutes to retreat? And lost a person?"

It seems that the study of Autumn Road has been somewhat effective over the years, at least in terms of experience and judgment, far beyond the average ninja.

"I think it's probably because of the greed of the ninja army commander of the Vortex Country, right?" Jiraiya frowned and said his conjecture.

"It's impossible, the guerrilla war has been going on for so long, and if the commander of this vortex country does not fight strictly according to the sixteen-character formula that Rope Tree said, it is impossible to hold out for so long. And he should cherish his ninjas more than we do, because they're his people! Tsunade dismissed Jiraiya's speculation, she knew better than Jiraiya how much the ninja family valued her own people.

"Why? You must know about the rope tree, right?" Shinnosuke asks Rope Tree directly, asking him to find out the answer quickly.

Rope Shu didn't sell off, and directly said his analysis: "After a four-hour battle, the two sides should have obtained a lot of information and are already familiar with each other. That's why the number of enemies in the second report is so accurate. ”

"The commander of the sand ninja should have been prepared for this sneak attack, and deliberately sacrificed a person as a bait to use the hilly terrain to carry out a counter-ambush, so the ninja army of the country of vortex was entangled for a full 5 minutes before withdrawing."

"It's a pity that the Uzumaki clan is more familiar with the terrain than the sand ninja, but they swallowed the bait and successfully evacuated."

Jiraiya frowned and asked, "It's very possible that Sand Shinobi set up an ambush!" But where do you see the bait?"

"Hehehe...... It's a casualty, right? In the second battle report, 20 enemies were killed and 10 enemies were injured, which is very unreasonable! I think Rope Ki-kun made an inference from this?" Seeing that this mind game was a little interesting, Orochimaru couldn't help but speak.

Rope tree nodded and admitted: "Yes, the Vortex Country Ninja Army can achieve such a strange result at such a small cost, it is not like the result of a normal sneak attack, there must be the deliberate cooperation of the sand ninja." ”

"Then, why didn't the commander of this vortex country directly explain the ambush in the battle report?" The Uchiha Hikari asked his doubts.

Seeing that several young companions did not understand the unspoken rules, Rope Tree patiently explained: "First of all, the battle report must be short and objective, and generally will not include the commander's own subjective thoughts!" So this battle report is up to standard. ”

"There are other things that are inconvenient to say! The commander saw the sand ninja's plot and achieved great results, and it seemed that he had no fault! However, it also resulted in the death of one of our ninjas! If he had chosen to stand still, there would have been no losses. ”

"If he admits in the battle report that he has seen the ambush of the sand shinobi in advance, then it is really hard to say whether he chose to sacrifice his comrades for the sake of victory. So he didn't say a word about the ambush, so that he wouldn't leave anything to handle. ”

"However, judging from the results, this commander's choice is correct, and he did not deliberately send his comrades to death, and it is inevitable that there will be sacrifices on the battlefield."

Several young middle ninjas nodded suddenly when they heard this, they didn't expect that there were so many doorways hidden in a small battle report.

And other experienced shinobi have long understood the unspoken rules, and they don't need rope trees to explain.

Rope Tree continued to analyze the battle report, "In addition, in the first battle report, it took 20 minutes for the ninja army of the Vortex Country to get rid of the pursuit of the Sand Ninja, but the second time it only took 5 minutes! What does that mean?"

"The hills should be more suitable for pursuit, which means that Sand Shinobi doesn't want to chase anymore, maybe it's because of the lack of physical strength?" Sakushige Hagi, who is good at tracking, spoke his speculation.

Rope tree nodded and said: "In addition to conserving physical strength, this ambush should be the last attempt of the commander of the sand shinobi, and he has no intention of fighting again and wants to withdraw to the base!" ”

"And the ninja who was abandoned as bait should be the wounded who were seriously injured in the previous sneak attack."

"In order to avoid being slowed down by these wounded, the commander of the sand shinobi chose to abandon them."

At the end of the second battle report, the commander of the Vortex Country wrote that he was going to ambush the Shinobi instead of a sneak attack, indicating that he had seen the intention of the Shinobi to evacuate. That's why they are ready to set up an ambush on the way they must evacuate! ”

"To sum up, we can draw the following conclusions from the details of these two battle reports, first, the troops of the Sand Shinobi attack are exhausted and have been greatly attrition after a morning of fierce fighting! Second, Commander Shinobi had temporarily given up his intention to continue the pursuit of the guerrillas. ”
