Second, those who went to Sunagakure to form an alliance.

Actually, only one person is needed here. The only requirement is that they are strong enough and not left in the Land of Wind.

Third, the final dumpling-making team.

This team comprises all of Konoha's elite forces. The two groups mentioned above will also be included in this team. However, this team values ​​quality over quantity. If there are too many, it will raise suspicions that you have been lying in ambush beforehand.

"Lin Yi, you are hereby appointed as the chief person in charge of this project. All personnel and requirements will be determined by you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had made up his mind completely.

He knew that once Lin Yi made the agreement, and did so well...

Don't say anything else.

This achievement was so great that it allowed him, an Uchiha, to run for Hokage.

However, Lin Yi's plan meant that the common people would never know the inside story in their lifetime, so although Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated, he still decided to choose Lin Yi.

"So what exactly is the plan...?"

If Minato Namikaze weren't unable to defeat Lin Yi, he would have already pinned him down and given him a good beating.

The person who pulled me over here is the one who's currently solving riddles, right?

Lin Yi, of course, had no idea that Hiruzen Sarutobi was still thinking about these random things at this moment.

Even if they knew, they wouldn't care.

He spoke calmly.

"First of all, since the Iwagakure forces are a large force, my master will continue to lead ten standard ANBU teams, each equipped with Hyuga clan members, to guide and intercept them."

As for Kumogakure, as long as they can slightly adjust the opponent's position, I... recommend Minato.

Minato suddenly looked up and pointed to himself.

"Yeah, you."

Lin Yi nodded in affirmation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also frowned.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Minato, but given the strength of Kumogakure, even Jiraiya and Lin Yi together suffered a crushing defeat. Minato...

"Third Hokage, you must understand that our goal is not to defeat Kumogakure, but simply to make Kumogakure arrive at the designated location at the designated time."

Lin Yi spoke slowly.

If you can win in a direct confrontation, what's the point of resorting to underhanded tactics?

"I've experienced the Third Raikage's speed; it's very fast. But if Minato just wanted to leave and left the Flying Thunder God Technique beforehand, he could have reacted in time."

It's unrealistic to say that you could throw away the Thunder God during a fight with the Third Rai; the Third Rai's speed was enough for the kunai to fly away first before you could catch up.

However, if a marker is left beforehand to interfere, the third-generation Rai will definitely not be able to catch Minato.

A flash of light, you can't catch it.

"Only Minato can do this. Your task is very simple."

Lin Yi took out a map and drew a horizontal line between the former Konoha camp in the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Rivers, which went straight through the Land of Fire.

"Given the nature of the Cloud Village, they will never take a detour. According to my calculations, the Cloud Village will not set off immediately after taking over the Land of Hot Springs' outpost."

It will take half a day to ascertain everything about our base. Shikaku left behind a sealing scroll simply to annoy the enemy.

These sealed scrolls contained sarcastic notes, which Lin Yi had Lu Jiu leave behind.

In order not to destroy the information in the scroll, they could only let the sealing team slowly unseal it.

After Lin Yi and the other two finished processing their thoughts, they continued speaking.

"Then the Cloud Village will need to reorganize its forces, which should take about a day."

Minato, you should set off tomorrow and leave behind Flying Thunder God kunai or a mark near this route.

Make sure you can hold them off for approximately three to six hours. In short, ensure that Yunyin reaches the target location by 3 PM the day after tomorrow.

Minato's job was simple: if the Cloud Village ran too fast, he'd teleport over and harass them a couple of times. If they veered off course, he'd teleport over again and make minor adjustments.

Lin Yi picked up a pen and drew an X on the target location while staring straight at the water gate.

"Can it be done?"

Minato didn't say anything like "I'll do my best," but nodded seriously.

"can!"

Lin Yi let out a soft breath.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Minato a deep look, signaling Lin Yi to continue making arrangements.

"Next, I'll go to Sunagakure to persuade them."

"That's not advisable. You're the commander-in-chief now; personally taking risks carries too much risk!"

The third generation leader refused without even thinking.

Although every scheme in Lin Yi's plan was extremely dangerous, there was no doubt that entering another major ninja village alone was the most dangerous of them all.

And to put it bluntly...

This plan can function even without anyone else. But without Lin Yi, it won't work!

"I'm the most suitable."

Lin Yi shook his head.

First, one's individual combat strength must be high, at least at the Kage level, so that the opponent will be hesitant to act.

That's actually not too bad. Lin Yi thinks the three legendary Sannin of Konoha, White Fang, and now Minato are all capable of reaching that level.

But the requirement that it be able to move around immediately filters out a lot of them.

Finally, beware of the poison from the Sand Cavern.

Minato can fight and move around, but he can't cure poison. Tsunade can fight and cure poison, but she has difficulty moving around.

Lin Yi is the only one who meets all three conditions.

"Third Generation, trust me."

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to speak again, Lin Yi interrupted him first.

"As for the final encirclement, as long as we provoke a fight, all the original Konoha ninja will retreat."

Once all the Konoha ninja have withdrawn, let the Sunagakure ninja enter and detonate the poison.

Then, await my command: the Three Legendary Sannin, Minato, myself, and White Fang-sensei will all be mobilized. Our objective is simple: leave no one alive in sight!

If the Third Raikage makes a move, I will stop him.

Minato, who was standing to the side, raised his head and gave Lin Yi a deep look.

He still doesn't know the full picture of the plan.

But just listening to Lin Yi's description, one can feel the overwhelming stench of blood.

"Without further ado, I'm preparing to depart now. Minato, you can make your own arrangements as well."

Then he looked at the third generation.

"The tasks for the rest of the people will be conveyed by the Third Hokage. Just tell them what tasks they need to be responsible for, don't tell them everything."

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe again.

"Okay, I understand. Let's arrange it that way."

After leaving the Hokage Building, the two said goodbye to each other and then went their separate ways.

Minato first handed the two registration tickets to Obito and Rin.

Lin Yi went straight to the outskirts of the village, leaving the registration to his shadow clone.

That's the advantage of being a ninja; you don't have to worry about being in two places at once.

As the clouds and mist rose, Lin Yi leaped onto his horse and sped towards the Land of Wind.

The surrounding scenery kept flashing by, the landscape changing from lush greenery to a sky full of yellow sand.

……

The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.

"How can you behave in such a panic?"

As Ebizo and Chiyo were discussing their next battle plan, they looked up and saw a Sunagakure ninja running towards the Kazekage Building.

"Lady Chiyo, yes, yes, a Konoha ninja has come to see the Fourth Hokage."

After all, he was just a Chunin from Sunagakure guarding the gate. Seeing two people in the village whose prestige rivaled that of the Kazekage, he naturally felt a little uneasy.

"A ninja from Konoha?"

Chiyo's eyes turned cold.

Her son and daughter-in-law both died at the hands of Konoha's White Fang, so naturally she wouldn't have a good impression of this village.

"What's the purpose?"

Ebizo tapped his cane and asked in a solemn voice.

"No, I don't know, Lord Ebizo. He just said he was going to see the Kazekage."

"He says he'll just let me see him?! Is he the Hokage or one of the Legendary Sannin?"

Ebi was so angry he jumped up and down.

They panic like this just because they encountered a Konoha ninja. How are they going to defend Sunagakure?!

Noticing the shadow at his feet, Ebizo felt a surge of joy despite his initial displeasure.

Is it going to rain?

Rainy days are a rare treat in Sunagakure, and this level of shade is probably even rarer than a downpour.
