At five o'clock in the evening, the Chinese army opened its tent.
All the people who received Nonoyu's notice came here to prepare for the meeting. There were about twenty people in total.
Among these people, one-third are the direct lineage forces brought by Lei Luo from Konoha, and two-thirds are the middle and high-level managers within the current Ninja Army.
The meeting place is in a large tent. Although its area is tens of square meters, it is still a bit crowded if there are so many people in the same room.
Therefore, the long wooden table that was originally placed in the center of the room, the sand table placed on it, and the sundries hidden in various corners have all been removed by Lei Luo's orders.
There was only a burning brazier standing there, and the slowly blooming firelight could be regarded as lighting for the time being.
After all this trouble, the indoor area is much more spacious. At least, it looks much cleaner than before and no longer looks so sloppy.
Directly opposite the door, Lei Luo was leaning on a bench with a leisurely look, sitting upright on the main seat with his legs crossed, and his current subordinates were sitting on the left and right sides.
Enjoying the feeling of having great power, Lei Luo subconsciously touched his chin, and then glanced to both sides pretending to be casual.
However, he saw that most of the people had solemn expressions and were sitting upright. Only a few people, such as Aburame Shiguro and other confidants, had relatively relaxed expressions.
Feeling that the atmosphere was almost over, Lei Luo coughed and said to everyone: "Everyone, some of you may not know me. Here, let me introduce myself first."
"My name is Lei Luo, my code name is Jueying. I am currently the commander of the Konoha Sunagakure Front. Of course, you can also call me captain."
"The reason why I appear here to replace Hatake Sakumo and take over the war between the village and Sunagakure is for one purpose, which is to regain the current disadvantage."
After finishing these scene words, Lei Luo calmed down for a while, and at the same time quietly observed everyone's reactions.
Seeing the ninjas in the ninja army system below, their expressions basically did not change much. They obviously knew the details of Lei Luo for a long time, and also knew about the matters related to this "change of generals on the spot".
Therefore, Lei Luo quickly ignored this topic and continued what he said before: "In my opinion, if you want to defeat Sunagakure, you need careful planning and proper deployment..."
"For this reason, I think I need to know as much as possible about the current situation, and you..."
Turning his head and looking at the dozen ninjas sitting neatly in a row on the right, Lei Luo looked at them for a moment and then asked:
"Who is the head of intelligence?"
Upon hearing Lei Luo's question, one of the dozen or so ninjas immediately stood up. He bowed to Lei Luo first, and then said loudly: "Master Lei Luo, I am you."
This is a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with a thin build, wearing a jounin vest, with a Chinese character face, and a very steady appearance.
Lei Luo nodded and asked, "What's your name?"
"Nara Shikaji."
"The Nara clan..."
With a slight smile, Lei Luo lowered his crossed legs, raised his hand, and said to Nara Shikaji:
"Tell me the current situation... including the number of ninjas in Konoha, the number of ninjas in Sunagakure, as well as the process and results of the previous battles."
Hearing this, Nara Shikaji nodded solemnly, and immediately began to talk:
"We currently have a total of 4,563 ninjas in Konoha, including 58 jounin, 102 special jounin, 732 chunin, and 3,671 genin."
"In addition, Mr. Lei Luo, the statistics of the group of ninjas you brought here have not been completed today and are not included in the above number."
After finishing speaking, noticing that Lei Luo was frowning and thinking, Nara Shikaji glanced at the other party with a questioning look. After receiving Lei Luo's "continue" gesture, he continued:
"As for Sunagakure, we have no way of knowing their specific number of ninjas. We can only make a rough estimate: around 3,000."
"In addition, the enemy's Jonin-level combat power and Chunin-level combat power are much greater than ours, and their quality is also higher than ours."
Lei Luo nodded thoughtfully and asked subconsciously:
"Puppet Master Troops?"
"Exactly." Nara Shikaji nodded with a heavy face, and his voice became a little lower: "The puppet master army, with an approximate number of about five hundred people, is the core force of Sunagakure."
"Those insidious and cunning puppet masters, those lifeless puppets, and those sharp blades stained with venom, made us Konoha ninjas suffer a lot..."
"Among the puppet master troops, the ones with the lowest strength should be at the chuunin level. They have rich combat experience, and their various skills in using puppets are hard to guard against."
"The leader among the puppet masters is a woman named Chiyo. She can control ten puppets at the same time, which she calls the Chikamatsu Ten."
"According to reliable information, these ten Chikamatsu people are high-quality puppets created by the first-generation puppet master Monzaemon."
"It is so powerful that it can even use certain ninjutsu. It moves very fast and the material is hard. Even Sakumo-sama can't break those ten puppets in a short time."
"At the same time, because the Third Kazekage was on the side, Sakumo-sama has been unable to deal with Chiyo and her puppets, which has also caused a lot of casualties to us in Konoha."
The more he talked, the more Nara Shikashi felt uncomfortable in his heart. After all, it was the Konoha Ninja Army as a whole that was beaten by Sunagakure, and he himself was naturally among them.
The collective was humiliated. As the person in charge of an important department, could Nara Shikaji not feel aggrieved?
In the same way, as Nara Shikaji narrated, the ninjas who also belonged to Sunagakure's ninja army sitting next to him all looked a little ugly, and they obviously felt uncomfortable.
Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Lei Luo raised his brows and couldn't help but recall the scene when he last fought against the puppet master.
Then, he wondered:
"Monzaemon... I remember I had a fight with that old guy. Why, didn't he participate in this war?"
The question that came to his ears made Nara Shikaji quickly come to his senses. He raised his head and glanced at Lei Luo in surprise:
"Lord Railo...have you ever fought against Monzaemon?"
"That must have been two years ago..." he replied subconsciously, but before he finished speaking, Lei Luo looked at Nara Shikaji strangely, and this time it was his turn to be surprised:
"Why, you don't know?"
Seeing Lei Luo's calm demeanor at the moment, obviously not pretending, Nara Shikaji instinctively searched the memories in his mind quickly. After a few seconds, he just realized a piece of news he had heard before:
The Kamiouigaoka incident, the talks between Amegakure and Sunagakure, Monzaemon and Bogyame, and... Konoha Zeekage, who fought against everyone by himself and nearly won.
Thinking of Lei Luo's performance in that incident, and the changes in the positions of all the forces in the ninja world afterwards, Nara Luji trembled instinctively, and then suddenly realized that the person who was sitting calmly on the main seat at this moment...
