Almost immediately, Lei Luo felt eyes from all directions sweeping towards him.
Either scrutinizing, sizing up, full of expectations, harboring ill intentions, or thoughtfully... Some of these people had met last night, and some had never been in contact with them.
Lei Luo turned a blind eye to these glances. When Mito Menyan opened his eyes and tilted his head slightly to signal, he walked straight to the vacant seat on his right and Shi Shiran sat down.
Feeling that the gazes around him were still lingering, Lei Luo felt unhappy. The weird Peking Opera mask on his face turned slightly and glanced around, a pair of cold eyes bringing inexplicable evil aura.
When the others saw this, they all looked away with interest, pretending to be calm and calm.
The three Orochimaru who followed Lei Luo also walked into the tent alternately and took their seats one by one. Their positions were higher than most of the ninja clan leaders.
Many of the seniors here are stronger than the current Sannin, but they are still ranked last. This shows that the deterrent power of Hokage's "direct lineage" cannot be underestimated.
"Now that everyone is here, let's talk."
Mito Kadoyan coughed lightly and went straight to the topic without any nonsense: "From early morning to noon this morning, the rain ninja began to shrink the front line on a large scale. Many rain ninjas even ran away as if there was no one around, treating me as Konoha as if they were nothing."
"As far as we can tell, the number of Yu Ninjas retreating in this wave is around four to five hundred. Among them, there are a total of thirteen strongholds that the Rain Ninjas voluntarily abandoned."
"Through the search of these strongholds, the following materials have been seized: more than 5,000 sets of clothing and clothing of various types, more than 10,000 explosive charms, more than 2,000 sophisticated ninja tools, 20 carts of food and medicine, and countless shurikens and kunai
.”
"Yu Ren's sudden retreat does not seem to have been premeditated. I would like to hear your opinions on this."
After Mito Menyan finished his narration, he raised his eyes and looked at the expressions of everyone present: most people looked surprised, and a few looked thoughtful, but no one spoke for a while.
Seeing that no one took the initiative to express their opinions, Mito Kadoyan's eyes slowly swept across the faces, and finally stopped on a young man near the bottom.
He was an extremely young-looking ninja, with long and narrow cheeks, a short goatee neatly left on his chin, and a full head of black hair combed into a ponytail on the back of his head.
Nara Shikaku is this person's name.
The ninjas of the Nara clan generally exist as Konoha's think tanks. When it comes to command and dispatch, the current head of the Nara clan is thoughtful and highly skilled. He is an expert in marching and formation.
It's a pity that the current leader of the Nara clan is too old to fight again.
Therefore, Nara Shikaku appeared on this occasion as the young leader of the Nara clan, taking his father's place to participate in Konoha's war against the rain ninja, even though he was not yet twenty years old.
Mito Monobu has been relying on Nara Shikaku's brains for a while now, and he has high hopes for this young man's resourcefulness.
Nara Shikaku noticed Mito Kadoba's earnest eyes. Although the information was insufficient now, he was unwilling to say more.
But due to pressure, he had no choice but to stand up and express his guess.
"On the surface, Yu Ren's move is just that other fronts are tight, so they need to urgently call back their troops."
Nara Shikaku's face was solemn and he said in a deep voice: "But now Amagakure has joined forces with Sunagakure, and the only opponents they face are Iwagakure and us Konoha."
"The information we received recently shows that Iwagakure has not made any major moves against Ugakure in recent times, so Ugakure's retreat is very unreasonable."
"Hanzo is cunning and treacherous, and he should not do such a meaningless act, but the current information is too little to determine his true purpose."
Mito Kadoen quietly listened to Nara Shikaku's analysis without interrupting in the middle. Unexpectedly, Nara Shikaku stopped here.
Mito Kadoen looked at Nara Shikaku in surprise and asked his doubts: "Why did you stop talking all of a sudden? What is your guess?"
Nara Shikaku took a deep breath, his expression a little ugly.
"Therefore, we set up a maze formation to lure the enemy deep into the enemy. We avoid the real situation and turn to the weak, making false claims in the east and attacking in the west... There are too many possibilities. Hanzo is not an unintelligent person. I am not sure what his move will be in the next round."
"I'm sorry, Elder Menyan." Nara Shikaku lowered his head slightly and sounded a little ashamed.
After all, Nara Shikaku is still too young, and his vision and structure of thinking are far from enough, so it is normal for him to be unable to judge Hanzo's thoughts. He may be considered a master of tactics now, but he is still far from a strategist.
Having said that, how many people can figure out the complex and ever-changing international environment?
The battlefield is never limited to the chessboard.
"It's okay, sit down." Mito Monohan smiled kindly, but he didn't feel disappointed at all.
From Mito Kaden's point of view, regardless of their purpose, the losses caused by the sudden retreat of the rain ninjas were real.
What's more, Konoha managed to get so much supplies with almost no losses this morning, and the benefits of this harvest are also real.
Therefore, Mito Kaden did not panic at all, and the topic quickly moved to the next step: "The large-scale retreat of the rain ninja is a fact, but we cannot let them go so easily."
Everyone looked stern, knowing that the drama was coming.
"Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru!" Mito Kadoyan's eyes sharpened instantly, and he began to issue orders: "Order the three of you to lead your respective subordinates to form an elite team, and select 200 ninjas who are good at speed, as fast as possible
Intercept the large troops evacuating the rain ninjas, and the battle will focus on delay and annihilation as a supplement."
"Take Feng, Uchiha Hayato, and Hyuga Kai! Order the three of you to select 500 ninjas from your respective clans, quickly move through the battlefield, and try to advance the front line at least 50 kilometers. Don't stop unless you encounter significant resistance."
"After reaching the target distance, if you still have some remaining strength, you must quickly turn back and support Orochimaru."
"Nara Shikaku, myself, and all the remaining Jonin, led 1,000 people from the camp and marched towards the hinterland of the Land of Rain. They gradually advanced on multiple fronts and conducted a comprehensive sweep of the battlefield, making sure not to let go of any rain.
Tolerate."
"As for Sir Jueying." Mito Kadoyan turned his head and looked at Lei Luo with a questioning look: "Please lead your base troops to maintain mobility and eliminate fish that have slipped through the net within the battlefield. At the same time, try to pay attention to Hanzo the Sanshouyu.
trace."
"If Hanzo really shows up, please take the initiative to restrain him."
Mito Gate's tactical arrangements are simple and clear. Although there is no complicated strategic deployment, it can be seen that his command skills are quite good.
It's just that... the reason why the rain ninja retreated is still unknown, and there is a serious lack of intelligence, so they started such a large-scale attack. Are they really not afraid of Hanzo's conspiracy?
Lei Luo glanced at Mito Menyan in surprise. Lei Luo couldn't comment on the other party's arrangement, but he also knew that this was not the time to talk nonsense.
Fighters cannot be delayed, he still understands this truth.
"I have no problem." Lei Luo first responded to the order, and then reminded: "But my perception range cannot take care of such a large battlefield. If Hanzo really shows up somewhere, I'm afraid I won't be able to provide timely support."
"I have been prepared for this." Mito Monobu's expression did not change, he just indicated with his eyes, and soon one of the people below stood up and placed a huge package on the table.
Lei Luo watched curiously as the man unwrapped the package. Suddenly, hundreds of kunai wrapped in small cloth hanging on rings came into view.
There is nothing special about these kunai. The main thing is that the small cloth bags attracted Lei Luo's attention: they are only as big as an adult's fist, and each cloth bag has a strip of about ten centimeters long extending from the inside to the outside.
Thin lines.
"Is this a lead?" Lei Luo observed the material of these thin wires for a moment and quickly came to a conclusion.
"Your Excellency Jueying actually knows this thing?" This time it was Mito Kadoyan's turn to be surprised. He looked at Lei Luo in a slightly weird way, "Then you should understand what I mean, right?"
"I didn't expect that humans in this world don't know anything about gunpowder." Lei Luo was indeed a little surprised, but that was all.
In the early days of Lei Luo's time travel, he actually considered getting out firearms. After all, he had that ability.
Even if automatic rifles cannot be produced due to industrial technology limitations, there is still no problem with something of the caliber of a firecracker.
But since he mastered three times the speed, Lei Luo gave up this idea. Who knows that he himself is already almost as fast as a bullet? What's the use of a gun?
Even though his movements were so fast, Hanzo could still keep up with him. Perhaps for some high-speed ninjas, firearms were far less powerful than Lei Luo imagined, so Lei Luo didn't pursue them much.
Even though he was a master in the use of various types of firearms in his previous life, who made the times change? Ninjutsu, secret techniques, and the power of time, these things are Lei Luo's new "firearms", which are far better than the firearms in his previous life.
Be strong.
Therefore, Lei Luo was very calm when he suddenly saw gunpowder.
"Isn't this the thing used to set off fireworks and firecrackers?" Lei Luo glanced at Mito Kadoyan speechlessly, "Are you planning to use it to send signals?"
"That's right!" Mito Kabuto nodded and said in a deep voice: "The strategic value of these fireworks set off during holidays has actually been underestimated by many people."
"In my opinion, as long as you match the different colors of the fireworks and take advantage of the height when they are set off, you can transmit information over long distances and command the ninja army."
"After all, there are very few ninjas and psychic beasts that can fly in the ninja world, so this method of information exchange is not easy to be intercepted."
"Of course, this method also has its drawbacks. To put it simply, the enemy can also see it. In order to prevent it from being deciphered by the enemy if it is used too much, this method will not be used unless it is an emergency or when we have a huge advantage."
Lei Luo was silent for a long time, and then asked: "It's pretty awesome. Who came up with this method?"
Mito Kadoyan smiled slightly and said modestly: "I came up with it, it's just a small trick, don't worry about it."
