What do you mean?
Hiashi Hyuga calmly replied, "I obey Lady Tsunade's orders."
Tsunade was not satisfied with this answer.
Her gaze swept across the noisy Jonin before finally settling on a few silent individuals.
"Nakamori Jonin, what do you think?"
A square-faced Jonin thought for a moment and said, "In the current situation, taking the initiative has a greater advantage."
"What's Matsumoto Jonin's opinion?"
"I don't know, but I feel like they all make sense."
"Inoue Jounin?"
"Kitada Jonin?"
Tsunade asked them one by one.
After asking all the veteran Jonin in front of her, she suddenly looked at Shingetsu Seiun, who had remained silent behind her.
Even though he tried to minimize his presence, his outstanding appearance still made him stand out from the crowd.
"Nebula Jonin, what do you mean?"
"Me?" Shingetsu Seiun was stunned, almost pointing at himself and asking Tsunade if she had asked the wrong person.
"I'm just a particularly skilled ninja."
Tsunade said, "Let's brainstorm now, regardless of whether we're special Jonin or Jonin." Besides... although he hasn't been promoted yet, judging from his strength, Shingetsu Seiun has already reached the level of a Jonin.
"Tell me your thoughts."
Faced with Tsunade's question, Shingetsu Seiun pondered for a moment.
In the past, he might have given an ambiguous answer like some Jonin, or like Hiashi Hyuga, 'following Tsunade's instructions'.
However, the harassment and fighting over the past few days have made him see the situation on the battlefield more clearly.
On the battlefield, danger won't stay away from you just because you avoid fighting.
There is no significant difference in risk between a defensive posture and an offensive one. In fact, being passive is often more dangerous.
In addition, his conversation with Izumo Kamatsuki, who had recently come to deliver supplies, ultimately had some influence on him.
After sorting out his thoughts, Shingetsu Seiun looked at Tsunade and said seriously.
"Lady Tsunade, I think we should be punished."
Tsunade was not surprised, and simply said, "Tell me your reasons."
Shenyue Xingyun said, "Based on the current situation, the possibility of Sha Yin retreating is extremely slim."
"While a purely defensive approach may allow us to hold off Sunagakure for a limited time, I believe a decisive battle is inevitable."
“Delaying time is tantamount to handing over the initiative in the decisive battle to the enemy, which I think is unacceptable.”
"Judging from the recent casualties at the camp, the poison from Sunagakure is becoming increasingly potent. What if one day we can't handle the enemy's toxins in time..."
He didn't say what came next, but the meaning was self-evident.
If Sunagakure and Chiyo create an even more potent poison, Konoha will lose the initiative, and their already limited advantage will completely disappear.
After listening to Shingetsu Seiun finish speaking, Tsunade's expression became much more serious.
The other party made no attempt to conceal anything and stated the worst-case scenario.
She turned around, her back to the crowd, and looked at the large battle map in front of her, her eyes flashing.
Should we continue to avoid battle, or launch a full-scale attack?
Tsunade was still struggling internally.
Given the current troop strength of Konoha and Sunagakure, a decisive battle would be a gamble. Although Konoha appears to have a slight advantage in troop strength and seems to have a better chance of winning, she dares not gamble on such a matter.
However, it seems that if the stalemate continues, Konoha will suffer greater losses than Sunagakure. If this continues, their current numerical advantage may disappear.
Or, as Shingetsu Seiun said, if one day Chiyo creates a poison that they can't handle in time, then Konoha will truly be in danger.
Looking at the ravines on the map before her, she seemed to see the deaths and wails of the ninjas, her expression constantly changing.
Knowing that the commander was at a crucial moment of contemplation, the noisy chatter subsided, and the tent was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Time passed little by little.
Tsunade remained silent throughout.
Just as some impatient Jonin were about to interrupt, Tsunade made her move.
She turned around, her eyes no longer hesitant, and spoke solemnly.
"Prepare for the final battle!"
Chapter 149 The Plan to Lure the Enemy
As soon as the words were spoken, the Jonin present were immediately filled with excitement! Even Hiashi Hyuga, who had just said that he would follow Tsunade's orders, breathed a long sigh of relief.
They deserve it!
They should have been beaten a long time ago!
But another problem is now facing everyone – how to fight?
Since it is a decisive battle, we must make all the necessary preparations and maximize our advantages. It is impossible for everyone to rush out in a swarm of people without even leaving the camp when the commander gives the order.
Tsunade: "Since no one has any objections, then it's settled, let's have a decisive battle."
"Next, let's share any good ideas you have."
The Jonin immediately started racking their brains.
One of the Jonin said, "It would be best to take advantage of our terrain."
"Taking advantage of the favorable terrain of Kikyo Mountain, we will launch a general offensive against Sunagakure."
Someone asked, "How can we leverage our geographical advantages?"
The Jonin replied, "How about... we try luring the enemy deeper into our territory?"
"We'll set up more traps in the camp, and when the Sand Village attacks again, we'll try to lure them all into those traps."
Someone countered, "Although the Sand Village doesn't have our Byakugan, they're not stupid. Why would they be foolish enough to walk right into your trap?"
"Yes."
“That makes sense. Right now, Sunagakure’s attacks are mainly harassment. They have a small but elite force, they don’t go deep into enemy territory, and they don’t linger in battle. Their aim is to continuously wear down our forces. Trying to lure them deep into our territory is probably unrealistic. Of course, if anyone can come up with a way to lure them deep into our territory, then disregard what I just said.”
The ninja who had just made the suggestion pondered for a moment, gripping his hair tightly, but still couldn't come up with a way to lure the enemy in.
"How about... we just launch a full-scale attack?" a Jonin suggested.
"Since we now have superior troop strength, let's not think too much about it and just launch a full-scale attack!"
"I think it would be good to launch a full-scale attack on a dark and windy night, or even in the early morning, to catch Sand Village off guard."
"No way!" a Jonin exclaimed, pointing out the crudeness of the other side's plan.
“Sunagakure is different from us.”
"Although their camp terrain is not as good as ours, their trap setup is far superior to ours."
"In addition to the usual explosive tags and traps, they also dug many huge underground spaces, poisons, and puppets, making them very difficult to deal with."
"According to intelligence, they have almost hollowed out the entire underground of the camp. If we launch a rash attack, the losses may exceed our expectations."
"Those guys from Sunagakure are really hard to deal with!"
"The main problem is that Chiyo's poison is very potent."
"I heard that she spent all her time at the Sunagakure camp, except for eating and resting, mixing poisons."
"Yes, Chiyo's poison is potent. If it weren't for Lady Tsunade, we probably would have been defeated long ago."
"If only we could find a way to get rid of Chiyo."
"With Chiyo dead, the threat to Sunagakure will be reduced by at least half."
"Chiyo is an old guy. It's difficult, extremely difficult, to take down someone like that!"
"If you ask me, instead of thinking about killing Chiyo, we should think about how to take advantage of the terrain."
“Terrain advantage… Our traps won’t be used by the Sand Village, and we dare not enter the Sand Village’s camp.”
"If you ask me, we should find a way to move the final battle to another area. At least away from the Sand Village's trap zone, so that neither side has an advantage, which would be safer."
The Jonin brainstormed, the scene resembling a flock of ducks chattering in a large tent. But amidst the chatter, they managed to sort out some ideas.
To achieve a decisive victory, there are two key approaches.
First, we need to find a way to lure Chiyo out of her hideout and then find a skilled fighter to kill her! Once Chiyo is out, Sunagakure will be no threat at all.
Secondly, the plan is to find a way to lure the decisive battle to the middle area. This would mean abandoning the geographical advantage of Kikyo Mountain, but also eliminating the Sand Village's trap space advantage.
The question is, how do we introduce it?
Chiyo appeared during the last Konoha counterattack because the number of people participating in the Konoha 'counterattack' was small and the danger was low. Chiyo only appeared in order to kill Hyuga Hizashi.
In other circumstances, if the danger was too high, Chiyo would likely hide in the camp and continuously supply poison to Sunagakure.
Tsunade said, "Everyone, think about it carefully."
"If you can provide useful suggestions, record your B-level mission merit."
"If it works, it's A-rank; if it can kill Chiyo, it's S-rank."
This matter concerns the outcome of the battle, and even without rewards for merit, the Jonin would treat it with utmost care. As Tsunade finished speaking, the Jonin immediately began to discuss among themselves.
Some say that two Jonin should go and challenge her, one Jonin walking on the ground shouting insults, and the other Jonin who knows Earth Release lying in ambush underground, so that the two of them can kill Chiyo together.
Chiyo isn't stupid; if you challenge her, she'll come out.
Some say that Chiyo was kidnapped, and a key figure from Sunagakure was forced to act. However, she was told that Chiyo's only relative was Ebizo, who was quite old and lived in the Sunagakure camp.
There are also those who seek out experts in disguise and memory-peeping to risk their lives to infiltrate the Sunagakure camp.
