Volume 1, Chapter 114: Troops are in short supply and are left to fight
After being caught saying bad things, Shengshu wished he could dig a hole in the ground and hide in it.
Tsunade stroked her forehead gently:
"Stop talking, you two are the same, equally shameful. He shouldn't have been allowed to become Orochimaru's apprentice in the first place. He should have become your apprentice."
"sister!!"
"Tsunade!!"
Nawaki and Jiraiya shouted in unison, with a strong sense of tacit understanding.
Qianyue couldn't help laughing:
"I think it's quite suitable. Look at this tacit understanding. It's something that ordinary people can never cultivate."
Rope Tree: “….”
Jiraiya: “….”
The supplies were unloaded quickly, and just when Qianyue thought that Orochimaru would arrange for him to take the wounded back to the camp, Orochimaru found him and said frankly:
"Qianyue, I'm afraid the team you brought won't be able to return to the camp. The troops on the battlefield are tight, and you need to stay and help."
We're going to stay too?
Qianyue frowned and asked:
"Has Konoha's military strength been stretched to this point?"
There are not even enough soldiers. You have to know that the battlefield in the Rain Country is a chaotic place. Konoha, Iwagakure, Sand Village, and Rain Village are all engaged in a huge fight.
You hit me today, I will hit you tomorrow.
In this situation, insufficient manpower can be fatal.
Looking towards Konoha, Orochimaru said:
"The wounded are constantly being sent back to the village, but the village has not sent any new reinforcements. The battle line in River Country is tight, and the attack from the Sand Village is very fierce. The village has no choice but to deploy most of its forces there."
As he said this, Orochimaru revealed a helpless smile.
"The wounded are constantly retreating, and there are no new ninjas to replenish them. The camp also needs a certain amount of military force to guard it, which has led to a shortage of troops on the front line."
In this case, why place so many people in the camp?
Qianyue couldn't figure out what Danzo, the commander-in-chief, was doing.
It’s not Tsunade’s fault that Jiraiya and Orochimaru are all unhappy with him. Anyone would be unhappy if faced with such a difficult situation.
"Okay, you'll be in charge of delivering the message to the headquarters."
Whether staying or going back to the camp, it has no impact on Qianyue.
As long as Orochimaru and Danzo get in touch, that'll be enough.
It would be fun if he wasn't accused of deserting the battlefield.
"I will take responsibility."
Nodding, Orochimaru continued:
"Because of the shortage of manpower, the squadron you brought needs to be split up and continue to operate in small team mode."
"That's great. It's really hard to work with people you don't know well."
Qianyue hoped that the team would be broken up, and she felt more comfortable working with Nawaki Minato.
After dealing with Chitsuki, Orochimaru immediately found the three chunin captains,
Tell them about the shortage of troops on the front line and ask them to stay and participate in the battle.
The three of them did not hesitate and agreed decisively.
"So, we are going to stay and join the battle?"
Shaking off the water on his clothes, Shengshu took them off with disgust and threw them on the rock beside him, then turned around and asked a question.
Minato, who was making a fire, also looked up at Chiyue.
Seeing that Minato hadn't figured it out for a long time, Qianyue angrily used the Great Fireball Ignition Technique and successfully ignited the wet wood.
Although the cave was filled with smoke, it was at least starting to warm up.
It is not easy to find suitable wood for making a fire in the wild of the Rain Country.
Picking up a branch and drawing a few circles on the ground, Qianyue pointed at the largest one and said to the two:
"This is the range of our Konoha position, and we will be sent here to guard against the ninjas from the Sand Village. There are not many of them, and there is a big risk. Senior Orochimaru has already said that he will not summon the Ten Thousand Snakes to assist in the battle in the future."
The meaning is very clear, that is, to keep the Ten Thousand Snakes.
So that when Qianyue needs it, the spiritual snakes can come out to fight.
It’s a pity that Qianyue doesn’t think much of Wanshe’s help.
"Oh, I hope this damn war ends soon."
Sighing, Rope Tree, shirtless, pushed the water gate:
"Go hunting quickly, do you still want to eat dry food?"
"Why not you? I picked up the firewood." Minato refused directly.
We agreed to work together, do you want to cheat?
No way.
Do you need me to go?
Qianyue looked at Shengshu with a smile, and Shengshu was speechless:
".......Can you wait until my clothes are dry before you go?"
"Drying is bullshit. If you go out for a run in your dried clothes, they will still be wet when you come back."
Qianyue and Minato decisively drove Shengshu out. If he wanted to be lazy, he was dreaming.
After putting on wet clothes, Shengshu left the cave with a sad and depressed face and went out to look for prey.
After staying up all night, can’t you take a break first?
After eating, I was about to take a rest.
An unexpected visitor arrives.
"Sister, you're looking for me?"
Seeing Tsunade, Nawaki jumped up happily, but his happiness lasted only three seconds. Tsunade waved her hand in disgust:
"What do I want to see you for? Qianyue, come out for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."
“........”
Sheng Shu was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze, with the smile on his face freezing in an instant.
Doesn’t my sister love me anymore?
Poor guy, Minato sighed, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly:
"Sit down, you look so happy. The senior should be discussing the battlefield with Qianyue, so don't get involved."
Stop talking, please stop talking. You will never understand the pain in my heart.
The devastated Rope Tree sat depressed by the fire, picked up a branch and drew circles on the ground, which made Minato want to laugh.
"What's up?"
Putting on some clothes casually, including a raincoat, Chitsuki followed Tsunade out of the cave where they were resting and came to a forest not far from the cave.
Tsunade glanced at Chizuki's raincoat.
Qianyue said unhappily:
"I haven't watched it. Xiaobai is resting. Are you looking for me because of Xiaobai?"
"almost."
Tsunade did not intend to beat around the bush and said clearly:
"This time, stopping the Sand Village will be a difficult task and very dangerous, so we need a strong enough force to stop it."
"Do you think so highly of me and Xiaobai?"
Qianyue couldn't help but laugh.
Tsunade's expression was serious: "Even if we can't stop all the people from the Sand Village, we must at least be able to delay them, otherwise the Rain Village will be in trouble."
"I'll try my best."
After thinking for a while, Qianyue spread out her hands:
"No one can guarantee this kind of thing. God knows if there will be any accidents."
"Just do your best. We are still unclear about the specific arrangements of the Sand Village, but it is certain that the Sand Village will obstruct us and take the opportunity to attack us, so you must be prepared."
"if........"
After hesitating for a while, Tsunade said:
"If you can't resist, take Minato and Rope Tree and leave as soon as possible."
"As long as we can defeat the Rain Village, the war between our village and the Rain Village will come to an end."
Advising people to escape from danger is not Tsunade's style.
But she finally said it.
