Late at night on January 24, Konoha 44.

The clouds of the impending battle shrouded the seemingly quiet Kikyo Castle, and it seemed that even the air was a little stagnant.

At this time, four days have passed since the supply line was cut off and the material hoarding point was destroyed.

However, the tens of thousands of troops besieging Shayin still did not withdraw.

Not only that, but Konoha's side instead detected the Sand Hidden troops that were originally scattered all over the place, as well as the remnants of the Sand Hidden Army that were raided by Shimizu and Orochimaru, and drove to Kikyo City one after another.

As a result, the number of the Sand Hidden Army continues to increase.

Everyone can see that Sha Yin will not give up if he does not achieve his goal, and vow to attack Kikyo City.

However, compared to the sand hide's broken cauldron and sinking boat, the top level of Konoha is conservative to the extreme - never take the initiative to attack, just wait for the sand hide to attack.

Therefore, for four days in a row, Konoha only raised the alert level to the highest wartime state to prevent the sand from attacking at any time.

It's just that when this kind of big war is approaching, he chooses such a passive strategy, which more or less affects the morale of the Konoha ninjas.

At this time, there is a sentry post in charge of the central area of Kikyo City, and there are two ninjas on duty tonight.

"When do you say they will fight?" One of them, a Konoha ninja named Taniguchi, suddenly stirred up the topic.

"Who knows?" Another Konoha ninja named Iwasaki replied.

"I really don't understand what Sha Yin wants to do, after besieging Kikyo City for so long, he began to harass him a few times, and then there was no follow-up."

"You can tell you why it's the same."

"Hey...... They are so energy-consuming, and they don't know when they will be a head. Taniguchi couldn't help but yawn, and then began to squint his eyes.

Seeing his companion like this, Iwasaki frowned, and reminded in a loud voice: "But I said that you are like this, is it too lax?" ”

"Isn't there still you......"

"And I'm really sleepy...... For a few days, it was said that it was going to be fought, and I really thought it was going to be fought, but nothing happened. Taniguchi continued, "I've spent too much energy in the past few days, and my physical strength is really unbearable. ”

"That's going to have to be cheered up, too. Sha Yin is now a trapped beast, and they can't hold on for long. ”

"Yes, yes......" Taniguchi muttered quietly, "I'm afraid that before Sha Yin attacks, I'll be tired and lie down first." ”

"Shh......h Don't let your words be heard, sir. ”

"I'm telling the truth." Taniguchi has a heartbeat.

"There are tens of thousands of troops in Shayin, don't we Konoha have them? What's more, the strongest ninja village recognized by the Konoha ninja world, why was it forced to shrink in this Kikyo City by a small sand hide? ”

"Add to that four days of intense patrol patrols and the tension of being ready for war...... I dare say that there are many people who are worse than me now. If you come back for a few more days, how many people will be able to carry it? ”

"This battle...... Fight aggrieved! ”

"Ah...... Finally said it. ”

"It's so cool!" Taniguchi said the grievances and complaints that he had been holding back in his heart, and he suddenly felt refreshed.

His companion Iwasaki was silent for a moment before he calmly said, "...... Hokage-sama naturally has his considerations, and we just have to carry out the order. ”

"Hey brother, don't be nervous, I'll just complain a few times."

"Of course, I also believe in Hokage-sama and Tsunade-senpai. After all, it was they who led us to victory in the Second Great Shinobi War. ”

"This time, I don't think it will be an exception."

"Konoha will win!" Taniguchi clenched his fists and said firmly.

"Yes, Konoha will win!"

………………

At the same moment, the bellflower city commander's conference room.

"What's going on on with the Sand Hidden side today?" Tsunade closed his eyes tightly, rubbed his forehead lightly with both hands, and asked in a deep voice.

"So far, the big force has not moved." Nara Shikahisa, one of the trio of deer butterflies, replied.

Soon Nara Shikahisa continued to add: "It's been four days, though...... I don't think they can last more than a few days with the supplies they carry with them. If they want to fight, these two days are their last chance. ”

"Tsunade-senpai, why don't you go to the rest party?"

"yes, you haven't had much rest in four days."

His other two best friends, Akido Dingza and Yamanaka Kaichi, were also standing aside at this time, and they all saw the hard work and high pressure that Tsunade had endured in the past few days.

It's so exhausting.

As the commander of an army, in the face of the upcoming big war, the pressure he is under is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Tsunade slowly opened her eyes, her original brown eyes were now bloodshot, but she said firmly, "No need. The sand will not last long, I will wait for them to come. ”

Suddenly, Maru Hoshi Kosuke on the side said, "Actually, we can force Sha Yin to start a war in advance. It's not just that we are nervous now, but the pressure on the side of the sand should not be less than ours. ”

"After all, we can not fight, and they have to fight."

Nara Shikaku asked, "What does Marashi Senpai mean that we take advantage of the night to raid once?" Or harassment? ”

"All right, I'm just making a proposal. Because I know that some of the ninjas at the grassroots level of Konoha are not in a good state...... If it drags on like this, I'm afraid it will be even more detrimental to us. ”

"Indeed...... That's a problem. Nara Shikahisa frowned and pondered.

"The old man won't let us take the initiative...... "Tsunade said bluntly, "I received another secret letter from him today, let's continue to stay put." ”

"Hokage-sama, what is this?" Nara Shikahisa also couldn't understand the path of the three generations of Hokage.

"Yunyin has gathered the border, and Konoha can't do it to start a war on the three sides at the same time. So the meaning of the high-level is - it is best to force Shayin back, or let Shayin break ......"

"After all, if Sha Yin really wants to fight, we are guarding, and they are not superior in numbers, they will definitely weigh themselves and care about the gains and losses here."

"But if we take the initiative and are caught by the other party, it will be more than worth the loss."

"I see, that's ......," several of them said they understood why Hokage-sama and Konoha higher-ups were so conservative.

Almost everyone present had some kind of luck: since this was a thankless war for Shagakure, it was likely that the other side would eventually retreat.

However, Nara Shikaku immediately poured a basin of cold water on everyone: "If Sha Yin wants to leave, they should start preparing to retreat yesterday at the latest, but our dark department has not detected the slightest information about their retreat." ”

"If we leave now, their supplies will not be able to keep up, and then their army will become our target."

"Judging from the previous preparations and mobilization for the other side of the war and a series of transfers, it is unlikely that they will make such a low-level mistake."

"So...... Sungakure will definitely launch an attack on Kikyo Castle. ”

"They're just waiting for a moment."
