On the other side, Chi led the troops to the front line and joined the loess, and said with a smile: "Lord Loess, it's been a long time!" ”

"It's great to have you here, I'm worried that one person won't be able to command so many troops." Loess enthusiastically patted Chi and several other elites of Iwa Ninja Village, and calmly and modestly pulled them to sit down: "Lord Tokage's established strategy is to divide the troops into three ways to march towards Sand Ninja Village, I, Lord Chi and Lord Xinyan each take one road, I am in the middle of the way, leading six thousand people, and Chi and Xinyan each lead two thousand people, do you have any opinions?" ”

Blazing Wenyan's eyes flashed, although he could only lead two thousand people, but it was good to have the opportunity to lead the army independently, as long as he could enter the Sand Ninja Village before the loess, then he would have a very weighty bargaining chip when competing for the earth shadow in the future, so he couldn't wait to say: "Since it is the order of Lord Tsuchikage, then let's carry it out." Lord Loess, you give the order! ”

"Lord Koroiwa, what is your opinion?" Loess smiled slightly, turned his head to Xinyan and asked.

"I also support the decision of Lord Tsuchikage, and I will lead my headquarters to defeat the enemy army as soon as possible and save the living force of Iwa Ninja Village!" Xinyan sat down and said solemnly.

"Okay, I'm reminding you of a few o'clock." Loess's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The biggest feature of the Land of the Wind is that the whole territory is a desert, and there are oases embedded in it, which is very different from our Land Country. Sandstorms and harsh environments are the biggest enemies we have to face, even more dangerous than the ninjas in Sand Ninja Village, everyone must always pay attention to the environment they are in, and don't be greedy and cause unnecessary losses! ”

"Yes!" Chi, Xinyan and the others also understood this, and as soon as the loess voice fell, they responded in unison.

"Then divide the troops, Lord Chi and Lord Xinyan, the two of you will each lead the assigned troops to the designated position, and I wish you a victory!" After the loess reminded, he stood up, and looked at all the people who stood up with him, and solemnly ordered.

"Lord Loess, take care!" After receiving the order, Blazing and Xinyan turned around and walked away resolutely.

Nara Shikaku, who had been paying close attention to the information, smiled calmly and reported to Echizen Kazuya the battle situation between Iwa Ninja Village and Sand Ninja Village: "Hokage-sama, Iwa Ninja Village has sent 10,000 troops, and it has reached the border of the Land of Wind, they are divided into three places, 2,000 people in the left and right directions, and 6,000 people in the Chinese army of loess, advancing towards Sand Ninja Village through the territory of the country of bears and birds!" ”

"Where's the Sand Ninja Village?" Echizen Kazuya's expression remained unchanged when he heard this.

"The acting Kazekage Maki of Sand Ninja Village also went to the front line, and the whole army was about 6,000 people, which were also divided into three divisions, Ebizo and Kamishinobu Youto each led 1,000 people, and Maki personally led 4,000 people, trying to use the location of the desert to fight against Iwa Ninja Village, and Sand Ninja Village asked us to find a way to send troops to support them as soon as possible." Nara Shikahisa said with a smile.

Echizen Kazuya smiled after hearing the situation, such a stalemate was exactly what they hoped for: "The desert of the Land of the Wind is not easy to enter, sandstorms occur every three or five times, most of the time it is not suitable for marching and fighting, it is not easy for Iwa Shinobi Village to capture the Land of the Wind, this war should be protracted!" ”

"I also judge so, the number of troops sent by Iwa Ninja Village does not have an absolute advantage over Sand Ninja Village, Sand Ninja Village should be able to hold out for a long time with its geographical advantage, but if we have not moved, Onoki will definitely increase troops to the front line!" The established strategy has been reached, and Nara Shikahisa is also in a good mood at this time, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Then wait for him to increase his troops, they are always much easier to deal with in the desert of the Land of the Wind than in the mountains and cliffs of the Land of Earth." A cold glint flashed in Echizen Kazuya's eyes.

Nara Shikahisa nodded approvingly, and asked in a gentle tone, "Then how do we reply to the Daimyo of Sand Ninja Village and the Land of the Wind?" They've been urging us to help! ”

"Aren't we negotiating with Han?" Echizen Kazuya said with an unchanged face: "When the Han Kingdom agrees to our approval, we will immediately send troops to support the Wind Country, and we also ask the Sand Ninja Village and the Wind Country Daimyo to do the work of the Han Kingdom together." ”

"Okay, I know how to do it!" Nara Shikahisa doesn't have any opinion on this, anyway, it's just a random reason to prevaricate, it doesn't matter what the specific reason is, as long as it doesn't make the Daimyo of Sand Ninja Village and the Land of the Wind too difficult to accept.

"By the way, Hokage-sama, what if Ichimei asks us to send troops to the Han Kingdom at this time?" Nara Shikaku suddenly thought.

"It's better to prevaricate and delay for a while, the strength of the Han Kingdom is not weak, if it is not enough to fight with the Iwa Ninja Village after a battle with them, it will be too strong for the 'heavy losses' of Konoha Village, and the Daimyo should not want to see the Land of Earth annex the Land of the Wind." Echizen Kazuya thought for a moment and said calmly.

While Echizen Kazuya and Nara Shikaku were discussing strategy, Shikamaru quietly handled the documents given to him by Echizen Kazuya and did not make a sound.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Please come in!" Echizen Kazuya heard a knock on the door, looked up at the people who came in, put down the documents in his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, Jiraiya-sama, why are you free to come to me?" ”

"Hehe, it's really more like a Hokage than me," Jiraiya looked at Echizen Kazuya and said with a smile, "Actually, I came here for something I want Hokage-sama to help me with." ”

"This is really rare, can I still help you, my lord?" Kazuya Echizen stood up with a smile on his face.

"I want to take two people to investigate Orochimaru's Otoshinobi Village." Jiraiya said his request straight to the point.

"Two people, who?" Kazuya Echizen wondered.

"Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno." Jiraiya looked solemn.

"It's them!" Hearing this, Echizen Kazuya suddenly realized, "You are here for them." With their feelings for Sasuke, if you don't come, are you going to go out of the village to find Sasuke privately? ”

"Naruto can't rest assured that Sasuke, if he doesn't find out, he won't be able to follow me to practice with peace of mind." Zilai also looked helpless.

"Although you have Jiraiya-sama here, I still have to warn you," Echizen Kazuya smiled when he heard this, and then said in a solemn tone: "According to the information I received, Nanao was captured by the Akatsuki organization a few days ago, and the people who shot it were Uchiha Itachi and Oni Shark. ”

"Really?" Zilai's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he was slightly jealous in his heart.

"And there is more information about the members of the Xiao organization, and now I know that in addition to the two Itachi, there are also Feiduan and Jiaodu who have attacked the Han Kingdom, and there have been two people wearing Xiao Organization clothes in Iwa Ninja Village, one of them is the traitor of Iwa Ninja Village, and the other is unknown." Echizen Kazuya pulled out a document that recorded the information of the Akatsuki organization and handed it to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya looked through it carefully, and after remembering the information of several people, he returned the document to Echizen Kazuya.

"This is proof of leaving the village, and I also want to know more about Orochimaru." Echizen Kazuya was very relieved of Jiraiya's strength, and there were not many people in the entire ninja world who could keep him, so there was not much nonsense, and he handed the certificate of leaving the village to Jiraiya with a pleasant face, and said with a smile: "Please Jiraiya-sama investigate the sound ninja village, and Naruto will hand it over to you." ”

"It was surprisingly easy, I thought it would take a long time." Jiraiya smiled and took the certificate of leaving the village.

"Naruto is safest when you're around Jiraiya-sama, so naturally I don't have anything to worry about." Kazuya Echizen sat back in his chair leisurely.

"Anyway, I'm so grateful!" Jiraiya said solemnly, and left with Echizen Kazuya's certificate satisfied.

"Hokage-sama, isn't it too dangerous for Jiraiya-sama to take Naruto and Sakura alone to investigate Iwa Ninja Village?" After Jiraiya left, Shikamaru couldn't help but ask with concern.

"No problem, whether Orochimaru has got Sasuke's body or not now, he is out of weakness, as long as he doesn't make a move, Naruto and Sakura, who are protected by Jiraiya, will not have a problem in Otoshinobi Village." Kazuya Echizen waved his hand and said firmly.
