"My lord, aren't we going to chase it?" A Konoha high-level behind White Fang asked in a low voice.

"No need! Our main target is the main army of the Kirist Shinobi. Immediately turn to the forest to the east! Be sure to stop the main force of the fog ninja! ”

After White Fang finished speaking, he led the Konoha ninja army behind him and rushed towards the forest to the east.

……

What exactly is Konoha's plan? Why did the White Fang lead the army to set up an ambush in the Sword Gate Pass? After the plan was discovered, Orochimaru appeared in the forest in time for the peace meeting and started a war with the 70,000 misty ninja? Why did Konoha keep an eye on the main force of the Fog Ninja, and even let go of the Ninja Seven?

Five days ago, that is, on the day that Rope Tree and Yun Yin began negotiations, after receiving a secret letter reminder from Rope Tree, the top management of Konoha decided to listen to Rope Tree's suggestion and send 150,000 ninja troops to the south of the Fire Country secretly to prevent a sneak attack by Fog Hide! The remaining 100,000 ninja troops remained in the defense center of the Konoha headquarters.

Due to the large number of troops drawn from this battle, Konoha was unprecedentedly tight, so most of the 100,000 ninja troops who were responsible for staying at the headquarters this time were young young ninjas, and the fifteen ninjas who went out included a large number of ninja family members, and even the descendants and clan members of the wealthy families such as Uchiha Fugaku and Hinata Hinata Hinata have gone to the battlefield, which shows that Konoha is ready to fight for the old book.

And at this time, in addition to the older generation of high-level people sitting in the headquarters, the only candidates who are qualified to serve as the commander of the army are Orochimaru and White Fang!

It stands to reason that White Fang is the head of the Military Training Department, and he is the predecessor of Orochimaru, so he is more suitable for the position of commander in terms of qualifications and position. Unfortunately, war is always in the service of politics, and sometimes it is not the ability of the people who can get to power.

At the meeting to discuss the choice of commander, Danzou first clearly proposed that Orochimaru be the commander of the war, and then the three generations of Hokage and the two advisors agreed, and in this way, with the support of a one-sided number, Orochimaru became the supreme commander of the ninja army and White Fang became his deputy.

It's normal for the group to support Orochimaru, since Orochimaru "betrayed" Rope Tree to him a few years ago, the two have formed a new political alliance, and the opportunity to make a contribution like this is not available to Tuan Zang himself anyway, so it is better for Orochimaru to fight for the opportunity to make contributions and enhance the strength of the alliance.

Danzou is to help the Alliance, so what are the three generations of Hokage and the two advisors for? Without it, only the word "balance"!

Rope Tree led Konoha to several big victories in a row in this battle, and established great prestige in Konoha, and the position of the fourth Hokage has been basically determined. At this time, the positions of the three generations of Hokage and the two advisors underwent a subtle shift, and they all began to think about the future political situation of Konoha. From the point of view of ordinary people, a Hokage like Rope Tree who can lead Konoha to victory and glory is of course a wise and respectable martial artist, but for several other bigwigs in Konoha who are at the peak of power, this Hokage is too strong! Just like the original Hokage back then, no one was able to influence his decisions due to his unparalleled strength and prestige, and it was just an accident that almost killed Konoha . And when he was in power, he also made a lot of wrong decisions that caused headaches for future generations, such as a series of policies such as dividing tailed beasts into countries and appeasing his good friends, all of which left a lot of threats to Konoha.

Although Rope Tree doesn't seem to have done anything wrong so far, no one can guarantee what will happen to him when he becomes Hokage. Therefore, the high-level leaders of Konoha don't want to have a strong Hokage who can't say anything, and it is very necessary to check and balance the rope tree system.

And the best candidate for this checks and balances on the power of the rope tree is undoubtedly the alliance formed by Danzang and Orochimaru.

So in their own considerations, Orochimaru successfully defeated the White Fang, who belonged to the Rope Tree lineage, and became the supreme commander of the 150,000 ninja army.

Two days ago, after Konoha higher-ups received information from the Dark Department and confirmed the detailed plan for the surprise attack of the Fog Hide, the opinions of the headquarters were divided. The conservatives, led by the three generations of Hokage, believe that Konoha should focus on stability, so they think that it is only necessary to establish a defense line at the landing site in advance to prevent the Kijikuin ninja army from landing.

The radical faction led by Tuan Zang felt that they should take this opportunity to wipe out all the ninja troops that had gone out to fight in the fog, so not only could they not prevent the other party from landing, but they should also lure the enemy deep into the Xichuan area to wipe out the fog ninja, and even sacrifice some towns and civilians for this. In fact, he wanted Orochimaru to take the opportunity to gain greater combat achievements, because repelling the enemy army and annihilating them were completely two different concepts.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and Rope Tree did not make a clear statement, and the final decision fell to Orochimaru, the supreme commander of the ninja army, and then with the support of Danzo, he imitated Rope Tree's strategy to set up an ambush plan for Kenmon Pass.

On the surface, this is how the whole thing happened, but in fact, behind Orochimaru is the support of Rope Tree!

Rope Tree is also not very in favor of the conservatives' plan, he seems to prefer to keep all the 80,000 ninjas from the Misty Hidden Blood Stepfamily in the territory of the Fire Country, and he has even devised a series of plans to complete the greater ambition, once successful, then Konoha and the Thousand Hands Clan will gain huge benefits, and this plan is complementary to Orochimaru's plan.

Although Rope Tree does not seem to be on the Western Battlefield, don't forget that Zero Tail in the Skywalker Fortress is already his external incarnation, so after Orochimaru entered the West River, Rope Tree established contact with him, and personally persuaded White Fang to cooperate with the ambush plan. No one thought that the rope tree would achieve his strategic goal by putting the entire Konoha high-level together in this way, and if this plan was proposed by him personally, then it would inevitably be unanimously opposed by conservatives and radicals, and now he has not only achieved his goal but also does not have to bear any responsibility. If the Konoha higher-ups knew about the relationship between Rope Tree and Orochimaru, they would definitely vomit blood.

After that, the ambush plan of the White Fang and the Great General's Mansion Orochimaru began to be implemented smoothly, and the civilians in the Sword Gate Pass were evacuated in time, and the 150,000 Konoha ninja army were ambushed in it, waiting for the enemy to send them to the door.

In order to perfectly monitor the movements of the Misty Ninja army and prevent them from suddenly changing the direction of their march, Rope Tree asked Orochimaru to personally control the snake group to monitor the Misty Ninja Army, and once the situation changed, he would immediately use the Snake Formation to delay the opponent's actions and wait for reinforcements to arrive, so as to avoid causing damage to the inland area of the Fire Realm, and at the same time, it could also block the retreat of the Misty Ninja.

But people are not as good as heaven, but I didn't expect that at the last moment, due to the snake array, Wu Yin saw the flaw, and the cautiousness of the Shui Wuyue Patriarch was completely beyond the expectations of the rope tree, which led to a variable plan, and Orochimaru had to temporarily activate the back hand.

If it weren't for the behind-the-scenes guidance of the rope tree, Orochimaru's character would not have personally used Tu Dun to spy on the enemy, let alone do anything to stop the 70,000 ninja army alone.

Of course, the main body of this ambush plan to lure the enemy into the depths of the city is still carried out by the Great Snake Pill Design Pass, the rope tree is just pointing behind the back, the local war here is just a part of his plan, if the big snake pill's ambush is successful, it is very good, even if it fails, the rope tree has another backhand to ensure that his plan can succeed.
