Chapter 82: The Battle on the Front

Jiraiya saw the Hiza and a few people when they entered the door, and secretly nodded to Duke, and then motioned to the doorman to take the Hiza and a few people to the side room for a while, he still had something to discuss with the staff officers.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, we are in a stalemate with the Sand Shinobi, who has switched from a full-scale attack to a partial defense. If a large-scale attack is organized in the near future, the Kawano Kuni is taken in one go, and the battle line is pushed into the hometown of the Sand Ninja, the Wind Country, then even if the Sand Ninja Village still has the strength to fight, the Daimyo of the Wind Country will submit a surrender document...... If he still wants to continue to be a daimyo. "Zilai also presided over the combat meeting and explained his opinion, he is not an arbitrary and lone person, even if the commander-in-chief has the right to go his own way, he is very willing to refer to everyone's opinions.

Nobody likes war, and no one is exempt. What can war bring other than the negative energies of death, destruction, and suffering? Money, prestige, power? Sorry, these are things that only politicians are fascinated by, and they are not in the consideration of Jiraiya, who wants to end this war as quickly as possible.

"With all due respect, Jiraiya-sama. Your analysis makes perfect sense, but I also have some of my own opinions here. Lu Jiu, who was sitting at the head of the staff officer, spoke.

After Lu Jiu spoke out, the rest of the staff officers chose to shut up, because their opinions would always be slapped in the face by Lu Jiu, and no one wanted to be a foil, and over time Lu Jiu's unshakable position in the command headquarters was established.

This is an obvious thing, the commander of the ninja alliance in the future Fourth Ninja World War, Lu Jiu's IQ threw out these dragon tricks for eight streets, and also brought a five-consecutive hairpin bend. When Lu Jiuxiu showed his IQ, how could they have the right to speak.

"Lu Jiu, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Jiraiya encouraged. He admired Lu Jiu's unique strategic talent, ruthless vision, extraordinary courage and courage, and cool head, which made him ashamed.

"Jiraiya-sama, as you know, because the suddenness of the Sand Shinobi's undeclared war, we were almost completely defeated in the early stages of the war, and we were invaded and lost many strategic points. Although we have managed to push back the sand shinobi and reclaim the land in the last two months, our losses have also been quite heavy. And it has also led to the current embarrassing situation, and our battle line with Sand Shinobi has been stretched for a long time! Shikahisa pointed to the red line of the sand table, which is the current battle line between the two sides, and the long red line of dogs' teeth almost crosses the country of Sichuan.

"Go on." Jiraiya frowned, what Shikaku said was right, the battle line was too long to concentrate troops, and it was not an ideal situation for Konoha and Sand Shinobi.

"There's nothing wrong with concentrating forces to deliver a fatal blow, but such a big move will definitely be detected, so Sand Shinobi will have an opportunity. When they bypass a line of defense that does not have enough troops deployed and leap into the rear, our logistics will not be guaranteed, and we will be caught in the trap of being trapped. "Lu Jiu pointed out several places on the red line, all of which are important strategic commanding heights, and it is unrealistic to abandon the strategy of concentrating troops here.

"The most critical point is that after months of high-intensity fighting, the ninjas on the front line are already tired...... In the last month, our casualty ratio has been on the rise, which does not bode well. Shikaku added.

"Is it just that consumption? No turnaround? Hearing this, he reached out and rubbed his temples, closed his eyes and sighed. He had the heart to ask for help from the third generation, but the embattled Konoha was not only an opponent of Shinobi, but also several other countries needed to be fortified, and a large-scale increase in troops was unrealistic. But if you don't increase your troops, the losses will only be even heavier...... Between two fires!

"Speaking of turning around, there is information from the staff that I don't know if it's true or not, and it's news from our internal spies who broke into the sand ninja." Shikaku flipped out a scroll, spread it out, and handed it to Jiraiya.

"According to the information, Chiyo, the advisor of the Sand Ninja Village and the former leader of the puppet force, will arrive at the front line in the near future. This news is still being confirmed, and if the information is true, it will be no less than a disaster, and her arrival will cause us heavy casualties. Although the information has yet to be verified, Shikaku is sure that this information is true.

"The old woman? She is in her fifties, older than the three generations of old men, and she is really energetic! However, this should be a turning point for the sand shinobi, not ours, right? Jiraiya smiled bitterly and shook his head, the situation is not good! Repeatedly defeated by Tsunade in World War II, Chiyo stopped for a while, there was little news about her, and most of the energy was invested in the internal politics of Sand Ninja Village, but I didn't expect that now I was old, and I still came out to wave, it was really difficult for her.

In addition to her magical puppetry, Chiyo's most feared thing is her medical ninjutsu, or poisoning kung fu. To put it bluntly, Chiyo's poison has been sublimated to a level where the number of ninjas who died in World War II would have doubled if it weren't for the birth of the nemesis Tsunade.

This is the deterrent power brought by top ninjas, even if it is just ambiguous news, it can make the other party mess up. Konoha used to have such a cow man who terrified the enemy, that's right, it's the 'Konoha White Fang' Qimu Shuomao. During World War II, Qimu Shuomao hit the invincible hand of the sand ninja with a ninja knife, and he was a strong man who could stop the sand ninja from crying, and even the father and mother of the red sand scorpion were slaughtered by him. It's a pity that this old man died in the infighting in the village, and his reputation was ruined, which is really not worth it.

If it's really Chiyo, the current front-line troops really can't afford to consume, this is the only thought of Jiraiya at the moment. As Tsunade's close comrade-in-arms, he knows very well how terrifying a medical ninja is who is good at using poison. If Tsunade was still there, he would have been happy to enjoy a good show of punching the nursing home, but now Tsunade has left Konoha.

Lost his brother and lover.,Suffering from hemophobia and being unable to be a ninja anymore.,Plus completely dead to the higher-up.,I really can't think of any reason to ask Tsunade back.。 Do you tell her that your grandfather's treasures are being trampled on? Don't be funny, you'll be killed! The current Konoha can't even compare to the stinky shit for Tsunade, at least the stinky shit can make Tsunade's nose wrinkle, Konoha ...... Hehe!

"Isn't there any good news?" Jiraiya has a sad face, there are not a few powerful Konoha ninjas on the front line, but against Chiyo, it is not enough to see. To deal with medical ninjas who are good at using poison, the first choice is still medical ninjas, which is an unshakable iron law.

I just asked casually, but I didn't expect Lu Jiuzhen to have good news.

"There is good news, the friction between the land and the thunder country on the border is becoming more and more intense, and the small friction has a tendency to escalate, and I am afraid that the two countries will repeat the rival drama of World War II."

"They're going to fight again?" Jiraiya said with a smile, so that Konoha's pressure can also be reduced a lot.

"The friction between the two countries is still under control......" Lu Jiu said this, and suddenly changed his tone in confusion: "But what I care about is that the land country seems to be too active on the border of the country of wind, and the number of ninjas stationed exceeds the standard, and small actions are also continuous, and there is a lot of article here." ”

"Oh! This news is really good, I think I can roughly understand why Chiyo is in a hurry to appear on the front line! Jiraiya and Lu Jiu glanced at each other, smiling implicitly. The feeling is that the country of wind and the country of earth are about to go to war, and Sand Shinobi doesn't want to face the two ninja villages at the same time, so he sends Chiyo to try to end the battle with Konoha as soon as possible.

"So, now what we're going to do is just one word......"

"Drag!" Jiraiya said at the same time as Lu Jiu.

The Land of Wind is a defeated country in World War II, under the oppression of the Land of Fire, it has to pay a large amount of war reparations every year, and its national strength has regressed a lot, and its war potential is limited, living up to its glory before World War II. At the same time, if you start a war with the two countries, funds and logistics are tight, and you can drag them to death if you drag them out.

With confidence in his heart, Jiraiya said in high spirits: "There is only one problem next, what about Chiyo's poison?" Lu Jiu, you are the second-in-command of the field hospital, the Nara family has a family lineage, has been in the medicinal herb business for generations, and has a deep knowledge of medicine, so it's no problem to hand it over to you, right? ”

Lujiu: "......"

Jiraiya-sama, you're still so humorous! Do you think I'm a hairless kid who can deal with an old man like Chiyo? If it is shogi or Go, I am confident that I can make her doubt life, but play drugs...... I'm going to be scared by her to doubt my life!

Jiraiya understood from Lu Jiu's eyes that it was difficult for him to be a strongman, and he couldn't help but sigh that Tsunade was still there, and no one was qualified to fill the blank left after she left.

"But we are not without a chance of winning, Chiyo's arrival will boost the morale of the Sand Shinobi, and this is also the time when they are most relaxed." Lu Jiu thought of an idea, which was a little dangerous, and it depended on whether he dared to do it.

"You want to sneak up on the enemy camp?" Jiraiya asked, this is not a good idea.

"No, the battle line is too long, the troops are scattered, any large-scale movement will be detected by the sand ninja, a large-scale sneak attack is not advisable, and a small scale is equivalent to giving it for nothing." Lu Jiu lowered his head and looked at the sand table as if he was nothing, thinking about where the best place to be used as bait.

"Now that the situation is in our favor, the sand ninja will not be consumed with us, so they must attack first."

"Improvisation?" Zilai also kept a straight face and handed over the decision-making power to the opponent, which was too passive and very risky.

"No, this attack by the sand shinobi will inevitably do their best, so they will move their troops on a large scale one step ahead of us, and the battle line will shrink accordingly, and then our opportunity will come!" Lu Jiu said. When the sand shinobi tightened the battle line, Konoha had more options, whether it was outflanking or concentrating forces.

There was no reply, Lu Jiu obviously didn't say a word, Sand Shinobi is not a fool without brains, and they naturally know the disadvantages of shrinking the front. So what will they do to avoid this drawback? It's very simple, let Chiyo poison and take away a wave of Konoha ninjas first.

"You want to sacrifice some of your ninjas for a fighter?" Ziraiya's eyes are wrong, he is not Orochimaru, he can't do this kind of thing.

"Of course not, I want to set a trap to fake the real trap!"
