Volume 1, Chapter 298 Jiraiya: Do I, as the team leader, still have a sense of existence?
What? You want to send us to the rear to encircle and suppress the enemy too?
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen looked at Yagura calmly without any panic.
Although Yagura holds great power and his status is higher than theirs.
But Yagura cannot deal with them casually, this is the confidence of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
After staring at the Seven Ninja Swordsmen for a long time, Yagura slowly spoke:
"I have a task for you."
Don't you want to cause trouble?
Don’t you want to sneak into the Land of Fire, or even sneak into Konoha and cause some havoc?
Well then, I will satisfy you and send you to infiltrate the Fire Nation.
The rear area was in chaos due to the enemy, and Yagura wanted to get rid of those who disobeyed him.
So the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were sent out after Kizuna's attack.
The difference is that their mission is not to encircle and suppress the enemy, but to sneak into the Land of Fire and cut off Konoha's supply lines.
In addition to the thorny nails, Yagura said coldly:
"Increase the number of patrols at sea. I suspect that Konoha wants to use the islands as a stepping stone to attack the Mist Village and force us to engage in a head-on battle!!!"
Anyone who can sit in this position must be quite capable, and Yagura is no exception.
Although he didn't guess everything correctly, he knew what Orochimaru was planning.
Attacking the Mist Village is nothing more than exaggerating the situation.
Orochimaru's ultimate goal was not to attack the Mist Village, but to force him to fight head-on.
Give up the advantage at sea and rush to the coastline of Whirlpool Country and Konoha to start a war with Konoha?
Unless Yagura goes insane, he will never let Orochimaru get his wish.
He only hoped that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen could be more powerful and cause chaos in the rear of Konoha, and then see how Orochimaru would respond.
Konoha had no way to cut off the supply line of the Mist Village, after all, Konoha did not have the initiative at sea.
But the Mist Village was able to send people to sneak into the rear and cut off Konoha's supply lines.
Those who just sneak in need to take a huge risk.
Once the enemy is discovered to have infiltrated, Konoha will definitely send people to encircle and suppress them to ensure the safety of the supply line.
On the uninhabited island, everyone was resting. Jiraiya was chewing on some delicious dry food and said with a headache:
"The next targets are not easy to deal with, as they are all islands where the Mist Village has focused its forces, and there are a lot of troops on the islands.
The team from the Mist Village that is coming to encircle and suppress us should be arriving soon."
"If we start, we might be surrounded."
"Even the Mist Village hopes that we continue to attack these islands so that they will have the opportunity to surround and annihilate us."
"Sir, whether to continue the attack or retreat, we need to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise it will be disadvantageous to our actions after daybreak."
"I know, I know, Zhenhong, you are still the same."
Scratching his head, Jiraiya comforted Yuhi Shinku a few words, then looked at Chizuki who was sitting beside him with a piece of grass in her mouth.
"???"
Seeing Jiraiya staring at her, Qianyue was puzzled:
"Why are you staring at me?"
Jiraiya's eyes widened, and his voice rose several degrees:
"It was your suggestion to change the mission and expand the island. Now you ask me what you are doing."
Don't tell me you don't care and you want to pass the blame.
If Qianyuezhen said that he didn't care, then Jiraiya would definitely strangle him to death, even if he couldn't beat him.
"Since you are the one who made the suggestion, you should take it."
"............"
I thought there was something wrong with you, Jiraiya, and that this was the reason for your relationship.
Chitsuki spat out the grass in her mouth, rolled up the map and returned it to Jiraiya.
“What plate?
The person who needs to take over is Orochimaru, okay!
I have asked Shengshu to pass the message back. You are right. We may be surrounded by the enemy at any time. The enemy may even hope that we continue to attack the islands behind.
It would be even better if we could reach the Mist Village.
That way they can pinpoint our location, surround us, and annihilate us."
There are too many islands in the surrounding waters, and it is not easy for the Mist Village to find them.
If they continue to act, they might just play into the hands of the Mist Village.
"Uh... when did it happen?"
You passed the message back, why didn't you tell me?
"After landing on the island."
"............"
I am such a superfluous leader, and it is so frustrating to be one!!!
Inside the command center of the Coastline Camp, a small white snake crawled up the table along its feet, spit out a small piece of paper, and then looked up at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru calmly opened the note and began to read it.
"So it was Chizuki-kun's suggestion. He is much more courageous than Jiraiya. However, the enemy will surely take precautions next. If we continue to attack, it will only have the opposite effect."
After thinking for a while, Orochimaru wrote his orders on a piece of paper. The little snake on the table swallowed the note and disappeared with a "bang".
On the other side, Rope Tree asked:
"Are you going to do it or should I?"
"Come on, biting your fingers is troublesome and painful."
To be honest, Qianyue doesn't like to use spiritualism, which is why he seldom uses spiritual power to summon thousands of snakes. Every time he does this, he needs to make a wound, and it is troublesome to use blood to summon spirits.
The most important thing is that it hurts a lot to bite yourself.
"............"
You are afraid of pain, what about me?
Although he was speechless, Shengshu still bit his finger to communicate with the spirits.
A small white snake appeared on the ground, spat out the paper, and then coiled up and waited.
Qianyue picked up the note and opened it.
"What did Orochimaru say?"
Jiraiya noticed the commotion here and came over.
Qianyue handed him the note:
"Let's leave the coordinates of Flying Thunder God and evacuate immediately. Perhaps the enemy is on the way to surround us, but just can't lock our position yet."
On land, they can be tracked based on the traces left behind, but it is difficult to leave traces, making intelligence gathering extremely difficult.
Even if the sea is the home turf of the Mist Village ninjas, it is still the same.
"Minato, how many times will it take for you to take us all away?"
"If the distance is not far, about three times."
Crossing long distances is a test for Minato's physical strength and chakra, and Minato rarely brings others with him on long distances, so he didn't dare to make too many promises.
"Then leave the coordinates of Flying Thunder God and transfer."
During this period, Minato was still in the beginner stage in the use of the Flying Thunder God Technique.
In a few years, when he becomes an experienced driver, he can fly however he wants.
After leaving the coordinates, Minato took a group of people away first.
Chitsuki and Jiraiya will be the last to leave. Fortunately, they did not bring people back to the camp directly, otherwise Minato would have been exhausted to death.
"It seems that letting Minato practice the Flying Thunder God Technique was indeed the right decision."
Jiraiya sat cross-legged on the ground, not caring whether the ground was wet or not, with a smug smile on his face.
He felt that his original choice was absolutely right.
Are you still feeling complacent?
Qianyue poured a basin of cold water over him:
"You make it sound like you taught him."
"Who said I didn't...hiss~~"
Because the movement was too big, Jiraiya bit his tongue directly.
Sheng Shu shook his index finger and said:
"You can't refute it. Minato has been following us all the time. Rather than saying you are his teacher, it would be more reasonable to say that Chizuki is his teacher, because you only taught him the Flying Thunder God Technique."
After asking someone to hand over an S-level ninjutsu scroll that could stump countless people to his disciple, he just left it alone.
I have to say, Jiraiya is a really interesting teacher.
It was thanks to Minato's intelligence and talent that he had, otherwise he would have been unable to do anything but stare blankly at the ninjutsu scroll.
