The Senju remnants of the Uchiha clan

Chapter 17 The Missing Wind Shadow

Konoha's deployment is as follows -

In the direction of the Rain Country, because they had to bear the pressure from the two major ninja villages of Rock and Sand at the same time, Danzo naturally became the commander of the southwest camp, and was assisted by Orochimaru, one of the "Three Ninjas".

In the direction of the Land of Lightning in the northeast, Jiraiya, one of the "Three Ninjas", was appointed as the commander, and together with his disciple Namikaze Minato who had already arrived at the border, he would fight against the attack of Kumogakure. However, considering that although the individual strength of this master and disciple pair is beyond doubt, their ability to deploy troops is basically on par with that of the old man selling popsicles at the door, Nara Shikaku will also accompany them as a military advisor.

In the southeast direction, it was still Akimichi Norifuze - if the Southeast Camp still existed. The last time the Southeast Camp sent news was three days ago, before the war broke out, when Akimichi Norifuze reported a large-scale ninja mobilization in the Hidden Mist Village.

According to Konoha's plan, if the Southeast Camp was not defeated, Akimichi Norifuge would be under greater pressure than now. This pressure was so great that even Sarutobi Hiruzen was deeply worried about his old friend.

Konoha is not planning to provide a large amount of reinforcements to the southeast direction, and can basically only rely on the strength of the southeast camp itself to resist the invasion of Kirigakure at an absolute disadvantage.

Not only Akimichi Tofu, Konoha is not even going to invest too much strength in the Rain Country. Danzo's most important task at the moment is not to defeat the Sand Ninja and the Rock Ninja, but how to muddy the waters of the Rain Country and prevent the enemy from discovering that the Konoha Army is strong on the outside but weak on the inside...

Having given up the two battlefields in the southwest and southeast, Konoha Village, with its hands freed up, prepared to send all its forces to the battlefields in the Land of Hot Springs and the Land of Frost to confront the Hidden Cloud Village.

Because Konoha's current strategic focus is in the northeast, if the Tsuchikage's ambush can severely damage or even kill the Sandaime Raikage, then there will surely be chaos within Kumogakure. As long as they can withstand the first few waves of Kumogakure's offensive and then concentrate their forces to counterattack the Land of Lightning in one fell swoop, maybe... they can make Kumogakure, Konoha's biggest enemy, withdraw from the Ninja World War directly!
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Konoha's decision-makers are betting that Konoha can eliminate Kumogakure before the battlefields in Rain Country and Southeastern Battlefields collapse!
This is a risky move, very risky, especially facing the southeast direction of Kirigakure—

Don’t forget, the battlefield between Konoha and Kirigakure... is on the home ground of the Land of Fire!

The meeting ended, and the Hidden Leaf Village - the most powerful war machine in the world, started to operate in full swing.

Just as everyone was doing their job and preparing to lead their troops to the battlefields, an urgent intelligence message from the Wind Country was rushed to the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened it and took a look, and almost thought he was presbyopic.

"The Sand Village army retreats back to the Kingdom of Wind?!"

"The Sandaime Kazekage is suspected to be missing?!"

Damn, this isn't an intelligence scam...

.........

The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.

Compared to the orderly Konoha Village, the meeting room of Sand Village was a mess. The originally good internal meeting turned into a debate. The participants were sarcastic, mocking, and arguing with each other.

Well, physical swordplay.

This is what Sunagakure's advisor Chiyo saw when she walked into the meeting room.

"stop!"

Hearing Chiyo's angry rebuke, the two senior ninjas who had already drawn their ninja swords and were about to enter the decisive battle froze and quickly dropped their weapons.

"Shame! Coward! If you have this energy, you should go to the battlefield to kill the enemy instead of drawing swords against your companions!"

Chiyo walked to the seat belonging to the Kazekage and sat down, looking around the conference room with a stern look. She looked at the panic of these Sand Village elite members, and the anger in her heart could hardly be suppressed.

The war is about to begin, and these bastards are still fighting among themselves!

"Chiyo-sama..."

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look into Chiyo's eyes.

"Tell me about the situation."

"Yes."

The head of the intelligence department repeated the known information to Chiyo.

The Sandaime Kazekage lost contact on his way to the front line in the Land of Rain, somewhere near the Sand Castle. Also missing were several of his accompanying jonin, including Chiyo's grandson, the strongest puppeteer of the Sand Village - Scorpion of the Red Sand.

"Scorpion..." Chiyo clenched her fists tightly, then raised her head suddenly, "Can the Sandaime's life or death be confirmed?" "..."

"say!"

"Yes, yes!" The chief officer of the intelligence department shuddered and reported truthfully, "We have contacted Master Fengying's summoned beast, and the summoning contract has disappeared..."

She hadn't finished speaking, but Chiyo already knew the result.

The Sandaime Kazekage, the strongest Kazekage of Sunagakure, was confirmed dead before the start of the Third Ninja World War.

"Who is the commander of the frontline troops?"

Chiyo is basically in a semi-retired state and does not interfere in any decision-making within the village. If the Kazekage had not disappeared, she would not have come out again to take charge of the situation.

"It's Rasa Jonin."

"Did he make any moves?"

"Rosa Jonin has already led his army back from the Land of Rain, saying that he wants to help find the Kazekage..."

"Heh." Chiyo sneered in an ambiguous tone and then fell silent.

The conference room fell into an eerie silence, with uneasiness and restlessness filling everyone's heart.

a long time.

"Now, I will take over the duties of the Kazekage! Tell Luo Sha to return to the front line of Rain Country immediately. The battle plan remains unchanged. He is still the supreme commander of the Rain Country battlefield."

Chiyo stood up. Her not-so-tall body exuded an amazing aura, as if she had turned back into the Chiyo who roamed the battlefield back then!

There must be no chaos within the Sand Village. The best solution now is to suppress the turmoil and chaos caused by the disappearance of the Kazekage through external war!
"Also, tell Luo Sha that if he makes achievements on the battlefield of Rain Country, I, Chiyo, will nominate him to become the next Kazekage."

"Yes!"

It seemed as if they had found their backbone, and the atmosphere of despair was no longer filled in the conference room.

A jonin in charge of communications quickly stood up and prepared to pass the message to Rasa.

"Wait." Chiyo suddenly called him.

"Master Chiyo, do you have any other instructions?"

"Luo Sha...do you have any relatives in the village?"

"A wife and a daughter... Oh, and his wife is pregnant now."

"Tell Luo Sha that An Xin is commanding the battle at the front line. His family is safe. I will protect them. Please... don't worry."

The jonin was startled and subconsciously raised his head, only to meet Chiyo's deep eyes.

He felt a chill rising from his feet and instantly spreading to every part of his body.

"Yes, yes! I understand!"

The jonin quickly walked out of the meeting room as if he was escaping.

Don’t worry... To be exact, it’s a warning to Luo Sha not to have any bad thoughts!

As expected, Lord Chiyo is still the same Lord Chiyo, the killing god who poisoned and killed thousands of enemy ninjas on the battlefield!
"You too, from now on, only jonin with families will be allowed to serve as commanders until the war is over... This is an extraordinary period for the village, I hope you can understand."

"……Yes."
