A stack of paper files was roughly thrown to the ground. The scattered papers were like snowflakes, with most of them floating in the air, and some scattered ones hanging on the bodies of several cloaked ninjas.
The ink on these papers is very new, and the fragrance it emits is also very good. They must have been written not long ago.
However, because of the unfortunate news written on the paper...
As a result, neither the person who threw them out nor the person who watched them fall to the ground had no intention of appreciating the fragrance of ink.
Lei Luo walked forward expressionlessly and slowly walked into the staff tent. He first glanced left and right at the several combat staff present.
Then, seeing them all lowering their heads and posing as if they didn't dare to breathe, Lei Luo had a faint sneer on his lips:
"This is the second time, and this time, we didn't even get a shuriken, a grain of food, or a detonating talisman..."
"The supply lines have been stolen continuously. What do you do for food?"
The news he just received this morning made Lei Luo feel very bad, just because the transportation team that came and went once every half month was missing again.
And this time was different from the last time, the combat supplies lost were no longer half, but all.
All disappeared, leaving no trace.
In fact, since the accident half a month ago, Lei Luo has been aware of Sunagakure's strategic intentions. For this reason, in addition to re-mobilizing the military deployment of all parties, he has also considered logistics work.
In order to prevent another attack on the transport troops, Lei Luo personally gave an order to the staff to strengthen their vigilance on the supply line, but unexpectedly...
This situation occurred again.
His cold eyes swept over the lowered heads, and finally focused on Nara Shikaji. Lei Luo took a deep breath, calmed down his restless mood slightly, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible:
"Lu Si, what exactly is going on..."
"I hope you can give me an accurate answer."
Although Lei Luo did not say any threatening words and his tone was relatively calm, Nara Shikaji felt that his forehead was covered with cold sweat for a moment.
Thinking of those colleagues who had been invited by Hyuga Tamaki to "drink tea" but never came back, Nara Shikaji quietly reached out and wiped his face, and immediately decided to tell the truth:
"Lord Lei Luo, there are ninjas from the Hyuga clan stationed near each of our fronts, and the Byakugan is close to being activated around the clock. If..."
"If that flying sand ninja called Wind Erosion really leaped over our defense line from the air and attacked our supply line, then there's no way we wouldn't know about it."
The meaning of Nara Shikaji is very clear and aims to explain:
The General Staff has already made a response, but this response depends on the implementation after the discussion at the last high-level meeting. In other words, Nara Shikaji does not want to take the blame for the supply line being robbed again.
At least, he shouldn't be the one to carry it.
He looked at Nara Shikaji for a few seconds, and noticed the helplessness in the other person's eyes, as well as the vague emotion that seemed to be genuinely angry...
Lei Luo stopped embarrassing the other party and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. Then he frowned and muttered to himself:
"Is it really a big circle from the Kingdom of Rain?"
Perhaps realizing that Lei Luo's anger had calmed down, a combat consultant next to Nara Shikaji boldly took a step forward and cautiously said to Lei Luo:
"Lord Leiluo, there are two detachments of Hyuga ninjas stationed at the border with the Land of Rain in the northern part of the Kawa Country."
"Currently, no traces of wind erosion have been found, and there are no signs of the large Suna ninja troops dispatching."
The speech of the combat staff officer instantly dispelled the last bit of luck in Lei Luo's heart. He once again shifted his gaze and looked at Nara Shikaji:
"It seems that your guess last time was reasonable. The one who attacked our transport troops should be Yugakure."
Nara Shikaji was startled and subconsciously replied: "But this is not right. There are clearly three generations of adults in the Land of Rain."
"I really can't imagine how Hanzo and the Amegakure ninjas bypassed our Konoha defense line in the Country of Rain, drove straight into the Country of Fire, and stole..."
Before Nara Shikaji could finish speaking, Lei Luo raised his hand to stop him. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but sneered and said:
"Okay, you don't have to worry about this anymore."
After concluding the matter in a commanding tone, Lei Luo pondered for a moment. Seeing everyone in the room looking at him, he unconsciously touched his chin and said slowly:
"Continuous attacks on our logistics... Sunagakure's purpose is nothing more than to force us to actively seek a decisive battle."
"In this case, their wish will be fulfilled. Let's end the trial phase as soon as possible and start a full-scale battle."
"The staff will prepare a battle plan as soon as possible and hand it over to me for review. The battle date will be set for the morning of the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, Lei Luo turned and left, leaving behind a group of combat staff who looked at each other. Obviously, they were not used to Lei Luo making decisions so quickly.
Also...don't you care about the supply line?
Most of the people in the field had doubts on their faces, only Nara Shikaji vaguely grasped the key to the matter, his eyes flickering slightly unconsciously.
Regardless of whether Amegakure has the ability to break through Konoha's formation in the Country of Rain, as long as they move out and enter the Country of Fire, they will inevitably leave clues in the process.
In other words, it is theoretically impossible for the Third Hokage to know anything about Amegakure's attack on the supply line.
But the actual situation is that the Kingdom of Sichuan has not received any intelligence from the Kingdom of Rain. Every time something happens to the transport troops, they disappear without a trace, and they don't even know where they were attacked.
what does that mean?
Did Sarutobi Hiruzen make an honest mistake? Did he forget? Did he really know nothing? Or...
Turning a blind eye or turning a blind eye is even more outrageous...
Is there some kind of secret tacit understanding with Amegakure, or rather Sunagakure?
Nara Shikaji didn't know what was going on, and to be honest, he really didn't want to know.
Unlike Nara Shikaji, Lei Luo, who walked out of the staff headquarters, was very concerned about the smell of conspiracy revealed in the "supply line attack" incident.
Without much thought, Lei Luo figured out a fact: that is, Sarutobi Hiruzen must have had a hand in this matter, and the purpose... was nothing more than to attack his power and make him suffer from insufficient logistics.
He rushed to a decisive battle with Sunagakure, and even if he won in the end, he would suffer heavy losses.
Through this guess, Lei Luo can draw two conclusions:
First, Sarutobi Hiruzen has probably always been aware of the situation on his side. This was true even after he cleared out the ANBU and the secret lines hidden in the Ninja Army, and made a certain disguise.
in this way.
Second, the war in the Land of Rain is probably going to end, otherwise Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't be able to start stumbling upon him.
