Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 114: Jiraiya the Riddler

Sakura lowered her eyes and looked at the sweet potatoes being licked by the flames in the stove, listening to Kakashi talking about the countermeasures for this war beside her.

Overall, there is only one word.

守。

In fact, this method is not bad. There is a shortage of food in the Hidden Cloud Village now. I and others can roast sweet potatoes here, but the Hidden Cloud Village commander may only be able to chew tree bark over there.

The one who is anxious now is not Konoha, but Kumogakure.

Resources are limited, and launching a war that consumes a lot of manpower and material resources requires an impressive result.

Jiraiya glanced at Kakashi, then looked at the others and said:

"Do you have any comments?"

One of the men with a weathered face echoed:

"Kakashi has a point."

Others nodded in agreement.

Jiraiya ignored these people, and instead set his eyes on Sakura and spoke:

"Sakura, what do you think?"

The old man mentioned it to him before he set out.

If you have any questions about domestic affairs, ask Shikaku; if you have any questions about external affairs, ask Sakura.

Now Nara Shikaku is with Shimura Danzo, so Sakura is the only one who can ask.

I think the sweet potatoes are almost over baked, which makes them not tasty.

"Uh, I think we need to send out a large number of scouts to find out what's going on with Kumogakure."

"They don't have many resources, and it's winter now. It's extremely cold, so there's no reason for them to be so quiet."

"In the meantime quickly find their logistical location."

"At the same time, we are targeting their logistics."

Sakura estimated and gave a more conservative suggestion.

At any time, cutting off the enemy's food supply is the best option.

This was also Boss Cao’s favorite tactic in his previous life.

Jiraiya stroked his chin and nodded.

Although it is not a particularly brilliant strategy, it is very stable.

The most taboo in military operations is to act rashly, and unconventional strategies are best used when one's side is at a disadvantage.

At this moment, our side is stronger than Yunyin in terms of resources and logistics, and even the military strength is about the same.

Although Konoha is fighting on two fronts, the pressure is not that great for Konoha which has already experienced three 1V4 battles.

Of course, this 1V4 game takes turns.

Even for someone like Jiraiya who doesn't like war, Konoha should fight one against many.

"Also, to prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack on our logistics, I think it would be best to send heavy troops to guard it."

"If there are no logistical problems, we can force the Kumogakure to retreat even if we have to fight hard."

Sakura continued:
"Of course, these are the most ideal results. There is no reason for the other side to stalemate with us in this kind of weather. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this unfavorable factor."

"Kumogakure must be planning something."

Jiraiya nodded upon hearing this and said:
"Well said, you are worthy of being my junior sister."

Kakashi rolled his eyes at that.

"In that case, let's arrange for a few more Hyuga people to join the scout team."

"Quickly find out the logistics location of Kumogakure."

"We have arranged for the Zhu Lu Die tribe to guard our logistics location."

"At the same time, we will increase the density of patrols around the troops."

Jiraiya gave a series of orders and everyone responded.

Just when everyone was about to leave to arrange staff, Jiraiya stopped everyone, which made everyone a little confused.

Is there anything else?
"Come on, come on, the sweet potatoes are ready, one for each of you."

Jiraiya smiled and took the sweet potato out of the charcoal fire, giving one to everyone.

Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly at this.

But even so, one of them took a baked sweet potato and hurried to arrange things. "Where's mine?"

Sakura was stunned when she saw that even Kakashi had a baked sweet potato, but she didn't.

"you have not."

Jiraiya glanced at Sakura and spoke nonchalantly while peeling the sweet potato skin in his hand to reveal the roasted golden sweet potato flesh.

"Tsk, if you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. You are so stingy."

Sakura couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when she saw this.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw Jiraiya handing him the peeled sweet potato.

"You don't have any, but I can give you mine."

Jiraiya looked at the pink girl in front of him with deep eyes.

Seeing Jiraiya's hands holding the sweet potato turned red from being burned, Sakura frowned slightly.

What kind of riddle is this guy telling himself?
"Humph, eat it if you want."

Sakura took the peeled sweet potato from Jiraiya's hand without hesitation and walked out of the tent.

After looking at Sakura who left in a rage, and then at Jiraiya's red, burned hand, Kakashi spoke cautiously:

"How about finding a medical ninja?"

Sakura is the best medical ninja on the front line, but looking at Jiraiya's appearance, he probably won't ask Sakura for treatment.

"You go too."

Jiraiya waved his hand and spoke with some melancholy.

Looking at Kakashi's hesitant back as he left, Jiraiya's eyes fell on the charcoal fire again.

Sakura's original actions led to the outbreak of war again, which made Jiraiya extremely unhappy.

But just like Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude.

Even so, so what?
After all, Sakura is the new generation in the village. With her abilities, sooner or later, even if she can't become the Hokage, she will be an important figure in Konoha.

Just like her medical ninjutsu, in Konoha where Tsunade is not here, who can compare with her? For this reason alone, the position of the director of the medical department belongs to her.

His action just now was intended to tell Sakura that as long as Konoha still had seniors to take responsibility for her, she could naturally do whatever she wanted, and even if there were any consequences, they, the seniors, would be able to handle it.

But life is full of aging, sickness and death, and there will always be a day when this group of people will leave.

By then, there would be no one to hold and peel the hot sweet potato for her.

Jiraiya wasn't worried that Sakura wouldn't understand what he meant.

This child is so smart, he will definitely know.

Ugh!

After leaving the central military tent, Xiaoying looked at the sweet potato that was gradually getting colder in the cold wind and took a vicious bite.

How could she not understand what Jiraiya meant.

But she has her reasons.

Really, it’s so annoying!
"Um, Sakura?"

"What's wrong with you?"

Sasuke, who had been waiting outside for Sakura to come out, was a little surprised to see the girl so careless about her image.

He swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at the black-haired boy in front of him with his emerald eyes.

Your teacher is Kakashi, Kakashi’s teacher is Namikaze Minato, and Namikaze Minato’s teacher is Jiraiya!

"Come on, follow me and practice."

After finishing the sweet potato in her hand in a few bites, Sakura looked at the black-haired boy in front of her and spoke.

Sasuke's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he spoke directly:

"it is good!"

After six years, Sakura finally agreed to fight him!
