Chapter Seventy-Six: The Discussion of Sending Troops

"The opinion of the daimyo cannot be ignored!" Ape Fei Ri said with a serious expression.

"But we can't really participate in this war, otherwise it will inevitably cause a new round of ninja war!" Watergate expressed its attitude.

Even with the pressure of the Daimyo, he didn't want to get involved in this big war.

What to do with the daimyo is a question.

"It seems that this is all we have to do!"

Nara Shikahisa once again made a suggestion: "There is no need to recruit new troops, just transfer some of the defense troops on the borders of the four countries of Rain, Grass, Taki, and River, and station them on the borders of Konoha and Rain Country, and make a show!" ”

These four countries are buffer countries between Konoha and the Land of Wind and Earth, and in this direction, Konoha has about five thousand ninja troops stationed.

Of course, there can't be so many now.

After all, the army is not satisfied with the shortage of manpower just after the Great Ninja War.

There are 5,000 people, and now there are about 3,000 ninjas.

Again, this is the result of a lot of urgent additions in recent months.

Shikaku's suggestion made Sarutobi Nod with satisfaction, and said, "There are three thousand ninja troops here, and we will dispatch one thousand and station them in the border with the Land of Rain!" ”

"In this way, the guards on the border of the country of rivers and the country of grass are very empty, and they are already dissatisfied, and some of them will be transferred again!" Mito Menitis expressed his concerns.

Ri Chop took off the cigarette stick and said slowly: "The Wind Country is already weak, and they are at war with the Water Country, and now they are involved in the situation of the Land of Rain, they don't have the extra strength to attack Konoha!" ”

"So, the defense of the River Country doesn't have to worry too much, even if something goes wrong, with the River Country as a buffer, we can have enough reaction time!"

"As for the country of grass and the country of Taki, these two countries are relatively close to the country of rain, in case Iwakuin invades from these two countries, the troops of the country of rain can also react in time and mobilize them!"

"Moreover, there are also troops in the north to guard against Yunyin, and they can respond at any time!"

The analysis of the purpose of the three generations made everyone nod, so it seems that Lu Jiu's proposal is indeed an old plan.

The current Konoha is empty, but the strength of the rest of the major ninja villages is also very weak.

In particular, the Land of the Winds has basically no possibility of starting a major war.

And Wu Yin, now that he is a mess inside, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to attack Konoha.

The only things Konoha needs to guard against are Iwakuin and Yunyin, especially Yunyin.

The loss of strength of this group of militants in the Third Ninja World War was the lowest among the major ninja villages.

Although a shadow is dead, the formation of the ninja force is still intact and retains an extremely strong force.

It is precisely because of this that Yun Yin has always provoked on the borders of Konoha and created all kinds of small frictions.

Shuimen looked around and saw that everyone was nodding, so he said gently: "Since this is the case, then it is decided, dispatch a thousand border guard troops and station them on the border of the Land of Rain!" ”

"It's just that who will be the commander of this force?" Watergate asked.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little silent.

Originally, Konoha had two very good commanders, Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

But now neither of them is there, and I don't know where they have gone.

In this case, it is obviously impossible to count on getting Jiraiya back first, and then letting him go to the front.

Of course, it is not possible to let Watergate go to the front to command.

After all, Mizumon is the Hokage, and his wife, the Nine-Tails Pillar Lijiu Sinai, is also about to give birth.

At this time, the internal defense of Konoha is far more important than the situation in the outside world, and the Hokage must not go out.

Ri Slash's voice became a little tired: "Judging from the information that came, there are many masters in the Xiao Organization, and its top-level combat power should not be underestimated!" ”

"Although we do not intend to intervene in the situation in the Land of Rain, that does not mean that we and the Land of Rain will be at peace! The situation on the battlefield changes quickly, and plans often fail to keep up with changes, and in case of any accidents, we may also be drawn into it and have to face complex situations! ”

"So, the commander of the unit must be a powerful ninja!" Hizashi said.

When it came to the strong combat power, everyone immediately turned their attention to the person who was sitting there silently:

Kamiizumi Soju!

This is a ninja who defeated Orochimaru, and his combat power is definitely the top in Konoha.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Zong Ju immediately said in an obligatory tone:

"I ask to join this force, and the turmoil of the Xiao organization must not spread to the land of fire!"

"With me at the border, I won't let the enemy harm the people of the Fire Nation!"

Zong Ju's confident tone was infectious, and he immediately made the three generations and the others nod their heads, with an appreciative look in their eyes.

Zongju's consciousness has never disappointed everyone.

Who could be more active in contributing to the village than him?

"No way!"

At this time, Zhuan Xiaochun shook his head in denial.

"Shangquan Zongju has never participated in the command of the war, how can he be the commander?"

Mito Menyan also echoed: "To be a commander, it is far from enough to rely on strong combat power, personal strength and command ability cannot be generalized!" ”

The words of the two advisors made everyone's brows furrow slightly.

It is also said that the only war that Zongju has participated in is the battle between Konoha and Iwakure.

In that war, he was the lowest level of shinobi and never had any negotiations with the command.

How could such a ninja with no experience be assured that he would command an army?

You must know that even Shuimen has been training with his master Zilai for a long time before he was slowly promoted to the commander-in-chief of a battlefield.

Commanding an army is far from a simple question.

You need to be familiar with the strength and character of each of your shinobi, understand the abilities of the various squads under their control, and have enough prestige to make them listen to you.

And that's just the basics, but you also need to know what kind of ninjutsu is suitable for different terrains and who to send to play.

You need to understand logistics, the weather, morale, the enemy's fighting style, and know how to distinguish between the true and misleading information that comes in.

There are too many doorways in this, and the war between ninjas is not the kind of time and place that the two sides agree on, the two armies face each other, and then rush up and rush to the end of the matter.

It was a gentleman's battle, and a ninja was not a gentleman.
