"A bunch of brutes!"
"Are all the people in Kumogakure just muscle-bound?"
"To put it nicely, it's a full-scale attack to retaliate against Konoha, but to put it bluntly, this behavior is irresponsible in the face of war!"
"Akatsuchi, tell me, if you were Jiraiya, how would you react?"
In the Tsuchikage's office, Onoki was throwing a tantrum because the information he had was hard to believe.
"My lord, if it were me... I would have the driver cut off the supply lines to Kumogakure, causing their troops at the front to suffer from low morale and collapse on their own due to a lack of necessary war supplies."
As the bodyguard of the Tsuchikage Onoki, Akatsuchi was quite knowledgeable. However, his reply only made Onoki more agitated.
"If you know this, Jiraiya certainly knows it too, and he might already be taking action!"
"But the Third Raikage, that brute, acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to charge forward on his own, and even sent a letter questioning me about why I wasn't following!"
"I'd like to keep up, but how can I?!"
Snapped!
Onoki slammed his small hand on the table fiercely. "Supply preparation, personnel allocation, logistics route planning, marching route planning, etc., which of these doesn't take time to figure out, and none of them can go wrong!"
"That reckless Third Raikage didn't even consider how much pressure a 1.5-strong ninja force would put on its supply lines when it launched a cross-border attack!"
"And he doesn't even consider the devastating impact that Konoha's ninjas could have on them if they successfully infiltrated the Land of Lightning with such a long supply line and the country's internal weaknesses!"
"He even dared to question me! How could he have the nerve to question me like that!"
"I truly regret allying with that bunch of brutes!"
"Ugh……!"
After venting his frustration, Onoki slumped into a chair, rubbing his forehead with one hand and looking pained.
I originally thought that after the land of Saturn and the land of Lightning united, they could use their combined strength to give the Land of Fire a hard blow.
Unexpectedly, due to some unforeseen events, the Third Raikage went mad and recklessly led the vast majority of the ninjas in Kumogakure out of the village!
Before the two sides even started fighting, Tsuchikage Onoki had already accurately predicted that the Third Raikage's side would lose, and that it would be a crushing defeat.
If Jiraiya's forces can withstand the first wave of attacks from the Hidden Cloud Village, then the Hidden Cloud Village will become increasingly weak and its logistical pressure will become heavier and heavier.
As long as Jiraiya's forces can hold out until the Hidden Cloud Village's logistics collapse, then the Hidden Cloud Village's war will come to an end!
"Akatsuchi, do you think it's still necessary for us to continue cooperating with the Third Raikage?"
"Well... Third Tsuchikage, I think it's a bit too early to talk about this now. I think it's better for us to wait and see."
After thinking for a moment, Akatsuchi could only vaguely express his thoughts.
"Okay, let's take another look."
Onoki nodded, then tapped his fingers on the table. "Akatsuchi, urge Higashi to lead the team out as soon as possible, lest those brutes really suffer a big setback."
In truth, Onoki still hoped from the bottom of his heart that Kumogakure could defeat Jiraiya's forces in one fell swoop, so he would do his best to cooperate where necessary.
But while they were cooperating, Ohnoki was also preparing a backup plan.
As for how to prepare...
Of course, they would be the first to jump out and stab the Hidden Cloud Village in the back when it was defeated!
Moreover, if we're not going to stab someone in the back, then we'll stab them hard, so that Kumogakure won't be qualified to compete with Iwagakure for the next 10 years!
With that in mind, Onoki made up his mind.
"By the way, Akatsuchi, ask Kumogakure if they need us to send some people to help them protect their supply routes."
“Well… I don’t think they’ll agree.” Akatsuchi scratched his head. “Third Tsuchikage, we’re sworn enemies with them… Even if they agree, our ninjas might not be willing to carry out this mission.”
"Forget it." Onoki waved his hand irritably. "Just dispatch a team of elite scouts to monitor the supply routes of Kumogakure in real time. Report any suspicious activity immediately."
"Yes, Third Tsuchikage!"
"Also, leave a reserve force to secretly travel to the vicinity of the Land of Lightning's border, just in case."
Upon hearing Onoki's arrangements, Akatsuchi's eyes lit up. He then nodded emphatically and walked briskly out the door.
Chapter 154 A New Idea for Flying Thunder God-Derived Ninjutsu.
"Rest time is over, everyone continue on your way!"
Konoha's elite Jonin, Mimura Yozaki, shouted loudly, and a group of Konoha ninjas following behind him responded.
The order to end the rest period was quickly relayed to everyone through word of mouth, and the Konoha support force of about 3000 people embarked on their journey to reinforce Jiraiya's troops.
Sa!
Shortly after the massive procession began to move, a silver flash accompanied by a soft sound, and Akira Hatake suddenly appeared.
"who!"
Mimura Yomi's body tensed instantly, and the kunai in her hand slipped out of her grasp without her noticing, the explosive tags hanging on it sizzling.
Ding!
boom!
The sound of the kunai being knocked away and the subsequent explosion rang out almost simultaneously, creating a commotion that instantly put the advancing Konoha support forces on high alert.
Hula la.
A series of rapid sounds rang out, and the Konoha ninja forces reacted with lightning speed, forming multiple defensive formations and waiting in full battle array for the approaching enemy.
"Jonin Ye Juan, there's no need to be so tense, is there?"
A lazy voice came from the still-lingering smoke and dust of the explosion, which made Mimura Yomi startled for a moment before she rushed forward anxiously.
"Is that Akira?" Mimura Yoru waved her hands frantically, clearing away the remaining dust, and rushed to Akira's side the moment she saw him. "Are you alright?"
"It's okay, but if I had reacted any slower, something bad might have happened..."
Akira Hatake fanned away the lingering smell of gunpowder from his nose. "Jonin Yoru, I have come to meet your unit on the orders of Lord Jiraiya, the commander of the Northeast Defense Force."
"Thank you, Jiraiya-sama, for sending someone to meet us."
Mimura Yomi got into character, thanked them, and then asked with some confusion, "Are you the only one here?"
"if not?"
Akira Hatake patted his chest. "I'm enough on my own."
"Haha, that's true." A fleeting look of embarrassment crossed Mimura Yoru's face. "I almost forgot, Hatake Akira, a Chunin, single-handedly killed the One-Tailed Jinchuriki. You alone are worth an entire army!"
"Um... Jonin Ye Juan, your words make me a little embarrassed." Hatake Akira scratched his head, and then they began to flatter each other.
"Ye Juan, the Jonin, is also very strong. Although I don't know much about her, I just think she's amazing!"
"Haha, thank you for the compliment." Mimura Yoru laughed, then immediately became serious and said, "The situation at the front must be very critical. Let's set off as soon as possible."
"Yeah, that's the truth."
Akira Hatake took out eight Flying Thunder God kunai from his ninja tool bag, holding four in each hand, tossed them around, and then flicked his arm to launch them.
Tuk-tuk-tuk...
A series of kunai landing sounds rang out, and eight kunai formed a circle with a diameter of one hundred meters on the ground. The Flying Thunder God Technique mark on the kunai spread across the ground at an extremely fast speed and moved towards the center point surrounded by the eight kunai.
In about three seconds, a complex, large, jet-black Flying Thunder God technique was formed, and an invisible Flying Thunder God barrier was created.
"Ming, what's wrong with you...?"
Mimura Yoru was somewhat puzzled. Pointing to the circular magic circle in front of her, she turned to ask Hatake Akira next to her.
"For use on the road."
"For traveling?" Mimura Yomi's expression was somewhat subtle. "Akira, wartime situations are urgent, you'd better not joke around."
“I’m not joking with you,” Akira Hatake explained. “Remember that night when we attacked the Sunagakure ninja forces, and the One-Tailed Shukaku and the Tailed Beast Ball landed right in the middle of their formation?”
“I remember.” Mimura Yomi nodded, then her face showed even more confusion. “But is that related to this large-scale sealing technique?”
“Yes, of course!” Akira Hatake said, gesturing as he spoke. “I used this large-scale technique to teleport the One-Tailed Beast into the Sunagakure army, and then teleported it back afterward.”
"This...you mean...we should use this large-scale spell..."
“Yes!” Akira Hatake snapped his fingers. “That’s one of the reasons why Jiraiya sent me here.”
Gudong.
Mimura Yomi swallowed hard. "Akira, are you sure you're not joking?"
Feeling that she hadn't explained herself clearly, Mimura Yoru added, "Akira, a technique that can transfer tailed beasts doesn't mean it can transfer people. Besides, the support force I'm leading has a full 3000 people!"
“3000 people… that would indeed be a little troublesome.” Akira Hatake thought for a moment, “Then let’s split it into two batches, it won’t take too much time.”
"In two batches? Are you sure?"
Mimura Yoru's eyes widened, and his bushy beard twitched involuntarily. Hatake Akira's words were somewhat hard for him to accept.
Keep in mind that the Konoha reinforcements he is leading are still hundreds of kilometers away from Jiraiya's forces. Given such a distance, how could a mere large-scale jutsu teleport them there?
"Of course, I'm sure."
Akira Hatake brandished the Flying Thunder God kunai he had just taken out of his ninja tool pouch. "Even if you don't trust me, you should at least trust my Flying Thunder God Technique, right?"
"I do have a lot of faith in your Flying Thunder God Technique, but it still feels somewhat unbelievable."
Mimura Yoru was stunned. "Using the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport 1500 people at once is simply too terrifying. And teleporting so many people would consume so much of your chakra..."
"Don't worry, my current chakra reserves are not much less than those of Bunpuku, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki back then."
Akira Hatake was full of confidence and didn't want to waste any more time with Yomura. "Jonin Yomura, don't worry, I won't joke around with my comrades' lives."
“This…” Mimura Yoru wanted to say more, but after seeing Hatake Akira’s determined eyes, she finally nodded.
"Everyone, come closer."
Then, Mimura Yoru began to gather the Konoha ninja reinforcements. "Listen up, everyone. Lord Jiraiya has sent Akira Hatake to meet us. Now I need you to split into two waves, each with about 1500 people."
"Alright, everyone, let's move quickly. The situation ahead is critical, and we can't waste any more time."
"Yes!"
The Konoha ninja responded, though their eyes were filled with confusion, they still began to split into teams according to Mimura Yoru's orders.
