Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 174: Support from Kumogakure and Iwagakure
"So that's what you were thinking about."

Hearing Kakashi's confusion, Yaowan said with a smile: "I really don't know what to say. I thought you wouldn't think about such things. Obviously, there was no sign before..."

Having said that, he paused.

No, it's not that there isn't one. It's probably because of Obito and the Fourth Hokage...

Pill thought secretly.

The friend he "lost" in the war indirectly provoked a war, and he himself was fighting an unjust war after the other party took action. It was no wonder that Kakashi thought too much.

However, the reason they have the energy to think more is because the Fire Nation has an absolute advantage.

Otherwise, Kakashi wouldn't have time to think about this and that.

"Killing is undoubtedly wrong. We also know the inside story of this war. Although it can be summarized as revenge, the most important thing is to occupy territory, not an act of justice. However..."

Yamaru thought for a moment and stared at Kakashi. "Countries are constantly at odds with each other. Is it right to maintain the status quo? To end the war, unification is the best way I can think of. If the Kage and the Daimyo disagree, the country will fall into internal strife. There are so many countries in the ninja world, so naturally there will be endless fighting."

"But if there is only one country left in this world, then good times will surely follow... Of course, this reason is just to make us feel better. It depends on whether you can accept it. At least I think that someone will eventually become the bad guy, right?"

"It was Lady Tsunade who initially bore the blame for this crime. We are merely the executioners below. You don't need to think too much about it."

Speaking of this matter, Yaowan's tone became low as he thought of something.

"Unified theory... This is one of the theories that guy left behind, right?" Kakashi frowned, "I thought you wouldn't go out of your way to look at it."

Yaowan raised a finger and smiled what he considered to be a mature smile, "It is precisely because we don't understand that we need to study it. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we find that guy's weakness."

"I feel like you'll be assimilated before then."

Kakashi complained and frowned, "Of course, I don't think this idea is wrong..."

At this point, he thought for a moment, his voice filled with emotion, "I just remembered that the teacher's child is about to be born, and I have some feelings about the changes during this period. You don't have to worry."

"I know. Strictly speaking, I haven't adjusted to it yet either. But compared to you, I don't think too much about it."

"…That sounds like something an idiot would say."

Hearing this, Yaowan stared at Kakashi instantly and narrowed his eyes. "I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel that after that guy left, both you and Lady Tsunade have turned to him, and you will destroy me whenever you have the chance... I was just comforting you!"

"It's just your illusion. This is how we usually get along."

"You're not usually so sharp-tongued..."

Waving his hand, Kakashi interrupted Yamaru's argument and looked at the approaching ninja.

"Lord Kakashi, the battlefield has been cleaned up and all the Sunagakure prisoners have been taken into custody. Please give your instructions."

"Using this fortress as the center, build a defense network and have the logistics troops come to join us."

"Yes!"

Seeing that Kakashi was calm and had no reckless thoughts at all, Yaowan knew that he really didn't need to worry, but he still felt a little unwilling.

This guy Kakashi must have thought he was a fool.

Isn't he much smarter than Obito?
……

"…Konoha's troops stopped and rebuilt a fortress based on our fortress."

In Tsukimi Castle, a ninja reported to Yamada Hidenori.

"Didn't they attack rashly and rebuild their defense?" Yamada Hidenori frowned upon hearing this. "They are just two young kids, but they didn't rush in and attack rashly. It's a bit unexpected..."

At this point, he said to his subordinates in a pretentious manner:

"The plan to lure the enemy deep into our territory has failed. Although the enemy is young, we should not underestimate them. We must be vigilant and retreat."

"Yes!"

After watching his subordinates leave, Yamada Hidenori turned and walked into the inner room. Looking at the two calm-looking people among them, he handed the information he had just obtained to Uchino Shinji and said, "Elder Shinji, the Fire Nation has not been fooled."

Should I say he is worthy of being a senior?

His excuse for fleeing the battlefield was extremely crude, but Uchino Shinji's was different.

Lure the enemy deep into our territory... That's right, lure the enemy deep into our territory!

The enemy's leaders were two younger generations. They just strategically abandoned the fortress, wanting to lure the enemy deep into the Kingdom of Wind and ambush and annihilate them. They did not want to escape from the battlefield.

Yamada Hidenori muttered to himself.

"Rather than saying they didn't get fooled, it's better to say they're taking a steady approach. They don't have the idea of ​​relying on their strength to fight and support the enemy, but rather they want to gradually erode the enemy's advantage."

Uchino Shinji took a look at the intelligence and handed it to Yukihira, the Jonin in charge of Tsukimi Castle across the way, and said calmly: "The Fire Country's vanguard that entered the Wind Country's territory has a total of 2,000 people, including about 200 earth-style ninjas that the logistics troops are good at building."

"This ratio is too high. Obviously, they intend to build a defense line step by step and completely take over the Wind Kingdom!"

Yukihira Jonin nodded, "Whether we retreated before or not, they are ready to capture the Wind Country. The Fire Country's wolfish ambitions are obvious. As a member of the Wind Country, even if I die, I will never let them succeed!"

"There are only three of us here, don't say such useless words."

Uchino Shinji was not impressed by the words of determination expressed by Yukihira Jonin, and his tone was lukewarm.

"The Fire Nation wants to advance steadily, and the strategy of luring the enemy deep into its territory is difficult to implement. We can only use other strategies. Have you found the logistical supply point of the Fire Nation?"

In war, logistics supply is a very important part.

Especially in the environment of the Wind Country, water resources can even be called war materials.

The Fire Nation Ninjas have come from afar and have not yet occupied the oasis, so their logistics must rely on transportation from behind.

If we can find and destroy it, we can delay their offensive.

"Elder Shinji, I'm sorry, the ninjas I sent out have lost contact and have not found the location of the supply point." Jonin Yukihira sighed.

Cutting off supplies is the best way to reduce losses while temporarily keeping the Fire Nation out.

As for frontal combat?

After listening to Hidenori Yamada talk about the battlefield situation, he knew that they couldn't fight.

Not to mention that the Fire Nation has now completed the construction of the base at a very fast speed, turning the fortress that originally belonged to them into their own, making it an iron barrel, and it is not an easy task to break through it.

The more he thought about it, the more difficult and troublesome it seemed and the more of a headache he felt.

At this time, a Sand Ninja came in from outside and reported to them: "Sir Yukihira, the support forces from Kumogakure and Iwagakure led by Sir Bokuto and Sir Huangtu have arrived."

"By the wooden man? By the yellow earth?"

Hearing these two famous ninjas in the ninja world, the three people in the room had different looks in their eyes.
