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

Chapter 359 Battle Plan
With Akatsuki's official declaration of war, the war machine of the Hidden Cloud Village began to move.

There were groups of ninjas coming in and out of the gate almost every moment.

Some of these ninjas were rushing to various places to convey the latest news of the Ninja War, while others were rushing to all directions to carry out the task of investigating the enemy situation.

The logistics department of the Hidden Cloud Village was also making intensive preparations. A large amount of supplies were continuously delivered to the village's warehouse, including weapons, medicines, food, etc.

In the command center of the Hidden Cloud Village, the Fourth Raikage Ai was standing in front of a huge sand table with a frown on his face.

He was surrounded by the village's elite jonin, each of them with a serious expression.

"The intelligence department has sent the best ninjas to the border. They must grasp the movements of the Snow Country in the shortest possible time." A senior ninja in charge of intelligence reported.

The Raikage nodded calmly, remaining silent.

Seeing this, the ninja looked at his colleagues around him and couldn't help but say, "Sir, are we really going to attack the Snow Country? We have never gained any advantage in the previous wars..."

"So what? You want to sit and wait for death?" The Raikage glanced at the ninja calmly, making him sweat profusely, and then he looked away, "We have no choice, this is just a last-ditch effort. Logistics department!"

"Lord Raikage, our reserves are enough to sustain a long war."

The logistics chief signaled his companions with his eyes to retreat to avoid bad luck, and then he stepped forward to report to the Raikage, "But just in case, we have contacted other friendly countries and asked for their support."

"Tell the Daimyo of Yu-no-Kuni that if he does not fully assist in this war, he will bear the consequences!"

The Raikage said in a cold tone: "We must ensure the supply of materials to the front line. We must not fall into difficulties due to lack of materials."

"Yes!" The logistics minister responded and stepped back.

Without waiting for the Raikage to speak, the jonin knew that it was impossible to persuade him at this moment and could only report one by one.

"The Fire Nation has mobilized an army of 20,000 ninjas and has assembled them at the border."

"The Land of Earth has been severely damaged after several wars. Only 15,000 combat-ready ninjas are left and are gathering."

"A total of 15,000 ninjas from the small country have been assembled."

"Including the ninjas that our country has assembled, the total number is about 70,000? After all, the previous losses were too great..."

The Raikage nodded unsatisfactorily, then looked at the diplomats, "Inform Tsunade that I will be heading to the Land of Fire immediately."

The Fire Nation agreed to wage war only on the condition that Tsunade would be the commander-in-chief.

He...or rather Nagato, did not object to this.

He was aware that he did not have the ability to command a large-scale battle.

As Tsunade is one of the three ninjas, she was active in the Ninja World War for many years, so it is acceptable to give it to her.

But in the final analysis, the leaders of this war are not the various countries, and they will not decide the outcome.

Hell Road looked up at the sky, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.

The power of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki...

……

In just a few days, the shadow of war quickly enveloped the entire ninja world, like a sudden storm that caught all civilians off guard.

The originally peaceful land was replaced by a tense atmosphere, and the situation between countries instantly became tense.

In the Fire Nation conference room, as the Hokage's assistant and adviser, Shikaku stood in front of a huge projected map of the Ninja World with a solemn expression.

Pointing to the border between the Rain Country and the Original Wind Country on the map, Shikaku said, "According to the latest intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance team ahead, the Snow Country's army is currently stationed in this area, with a number of about 40,000."

"Among these 40,000 troops, there are about 20,000 terracotta warrior puppets. These puppets are immortal and have extremely strong self-healing and defensive abilities. It is best to deal with them with sealing talismans."

As soon as Shikaku finished speaking, a low discussion began in the conference room.

All the ninjas present had participated in the Ninja World War. They all had their own opinions and were unable to reach a consensus for a while.

But as time went by, everyone reached a consensus.

After some discussion, Shikaku began to explain the battle plan in detail. He pointed to different locations on the map and explained the current deployment suggestions one by one.

"According to our analysis, the Snow Country's troops are mainly concentrated in this narrow strip of land."

Shikaku pointed to an area and said, "I suggest that we attack in three directions, one from the front and two from the flanks. At the same time, send a strong special operations team to sneak behind the enemy and destroy their temporary command center."

"The mission of the frontal troops is to attract the enemy's attention and tie down their main force."

Shikaku continued, "The mission of the flank forces is to advance quickly and cut off the enemy's supply lines and retreat routes. The main front force is led by the three Kages, who will gather the strongest forces to fight a decisive battle with the Snow Country."

"As for the Land of Earth..."

At this point, Lu Jiu paused and looked at Huang Tu beside him, "Send a troop for support, mainly in a defensive battle, and wait for the frontal battlefield to decide the outcome."

The Earth Kingdom is now at a disadvantage facing the main force of the Water Kingdom, and someone must go to support it. Otherwise, once the Earth Kingdom falls, the northwest border of the Thunder Kingdom will also be threatened.

Huang Tu nodded helplessly, "I have no objection, thank you all for your support."

Facing the Water Kingdom... I don't know how long they can hold out on their own.

Tsunade and the Raikage nodded slightly and agreed calmly.

As the tactics were decided, everyone had to face the most troublesome problem.

The Raikage said in a low voice: "How should we deal with Hyuga Yu and those powerful people from the Snow Country?"

Silence enveloped the entire conference room.

Although they didn't say it, everyone understood that if no one could deal with Hinata Yu, the outcome of this war would probably not be optimistic.

The power displayed by other countries alone is no match for the Snow Country.

"Put out all your cards."

The Raikage swept his eyes across everyone's faces and said, "This is the last chance. Would you rather die and take those trump cards to the Pure Land than hide them?"

Facing the oppressive gaze of the Raikage, the leader of Takigakure sighed, "Our country can use the improved version of the Hero's Water to quickly create a group of special jonin."

"The Box of Paradise has been sealed by Konoha. I hope Konoha can return it." The leader of Kusagakure said a little embarrassedly: "That is the strongest fighting force in our country."

Previously, in order to gain a higher status, they, Kusagakure, released the monsters in the Box of Paradise, causing the Box of Paradise to be sealed. It is currently under the control of Konoha.

"Okay." Tsunade nodded in agreement, then said hesitantly, "With the support of future technology, nearly half of the ninjutsu that can restrain Impure World Reincarnation have been opened and can be used. We will be left to deal with the powerful Impure World Ninja."

"The clone troops of the Land of Earth have human rights. I will communicate with them..."

Seeing that everyone was willing to produce results, the Raikage smiled with satisfaction, "Let us, the Land of Lightning, handle Hinata Yu!"
