Naruto God Tree Arrives

"Sir, are we not going to chase him?" a senior Konoha executive behind White Fang asked in a low voice.

"No need, our main target is the main force of the Mist Ninja. Immediately turn to the forest to the east and be sure to stop the main force of the Mist Ninja."

After White Fang finished speaking, he led the Konoha ninja army behind him and flew towards the forest due east.

What exactly is Konoha's plan? Why is it that White Fang led the army to set up an ambush in the Sword Gate Pass? After the plan was discovered, Orochimaru appeared in the forest in time for the peace conference and started a battle with seventy thousand mist ninjas. Why does Konoha matter? Keeping an eye on the main force of the Mist Ninja, he even did not hesitate to let go of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

Everything has to start from the beginning. Five days ago, that is, the day when the negotiations between Naoki and Kumogakure began, after receiving the secret message reminder from Naoki, Konoha's top management decided to listen to Naoki's suggestion and sent 15 The Ninja Army secretly went to the southern part of the Land of Fire to prevent Kirigakure's sneak attack. The remaining [-] Ninja Army stayed at the defense center of Konoha headquarters.

Since a large number of troops were mobilized for this war, Konoha's manpower was unprecedentedly tight. Therefore, most of the [-] ninja troops responsible for staying at the headquarters this time were younger, new-generation young ninjas, and the fifteen ninjas who went out included a large number of them. Members of the ninja family, and even direct descendants and clan members of wealthy families such as Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hizatsu, have taken to the battlefield, which shows that Konoha is ready to fight for its old glory.

At this time, apart from the older generation of senior officials in Konoha, the only candidates who are qualified to command the army are Orochimaru and White Fang.

It stands to reason that White Fang is the head of the Military Training Department and is Orochimaru's senior, so in terms of qualifications and position, he is more suitable for the position of commander.It is a pity that war always serves politics, and sometimes it is not just the capable people who can take the position.

At the meeting to discuss the candidate for the commander, Danzo first clearly proposed that Orochimaru should be the commander-in-chief of this war. Later, the third generation of Hokage and two advisers agreed. In this way, with the overwhelming support of the number of people, Orochimaru He became the supreme commander of the Ninja Army and White Fang was reduced to his deputy.

It's normal for Danzo to support Orochimaru. Ever since Orochimaru "betrayed" Naoki to him a few years ago, the two have formed a new political alliance. Danzo himself would never have such an opportunity to make a contribution. , so it is better for Orochimaru to strive for opportunities to make contributions and enhance the strength of the alliance.

Danzo is here to help the alliance, so what are the Third Hokage and the two advisors here for? Nothing else, only the word "balance"

In this battle, Naoki led Konoha to several consecutive victories and established a huge prestige in Konoha. The position of the Fourth Hokage has been basically determined.At this time, the positions of the Third Hokage and the two advisors changed subtly, and they all began to consider the future political situation of Konoha.If you look at it from an ordinary person's point of view, a Hokage like Naoki who can lead Konoha to victory and glory is of course a wise god worthy of respect, but for several other big bosses in Konoha who are at the pinnacle of power, This kind of Hokage is too strong, just like the first generation Hokage. Due to his unparalleled power and prestige, no one can influence his decision. An accident almost destroyed Konoha.Moreover, when he was in power, he also made many wrong decisions that caused headaches for future generations, such as dividing tailed beasts for various countries, appeasing his good friends, and a series of policies, which all left a lot of threats to Konoha. .

Although Naoki seems to have made no mistakes at present, no one can guarantee what will happen to him when he becomes Hokage.Therefore, the high-level officials of Konoha do not want another powerful Hokage who can tell the truth about the rope tree.

A system of checks and balances is very necessary.

The best candidate to check the power of the rope tree is undoubtedly the alliance formed by Danzo and Orochimaru.

So due to their own considerations, Orochimaru successfully defeated White Fang, who belonged to the Nezuki family, and became the supreme commander of the 15 ninja army.

Two days ago, Konoha's top brass received information from the ANBU and determined the detailed plan for Kirigakure's raid. After that, the opinions of the headquarters were divided.The conservatives headed by the Third Hokage believed that Konoha should focus on stability, so they believed that they only needed to establish a defense line at the landing site in advance to prevent the Kirigakure ninja army from landing.

The radical faction headed by Danzo felt that they should take this opportunity to wipe out all the Kirigakure ninja troops. Therefore, not only could they not prevent the opponent from landing, they should also lure the enemy deep into the Nishikawa area to annihilate all the Kirigakure ninjas, and even sacrifice themselves for this. Part of town and civilians.In fact, he wanted Orochimaru to take the opportunity to gain greater military exploits, because repelling the enemy and annihilating them were completely different concepts.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and Naoki did not make a clear statement. The final decision fell in the hands of Orochimaru, the supreme commander of the Ninja Army. Later, with the support of Danzo, he imitated Naoki's strategy and set up the sword gate. Guan's ambush plan.

On the surface, it seems that the whole thing is like this, but in fact, Orochimaru is supported by Nogeki.

Naoki is also not in favor of the conservative plan. He seems to be more inclined to keep all [-] ninjas from the Kirigakure family in the Kingdom of Fire. He has even designed a series of plans to complete a larger plan. Ambition, once successful, Konoha and the Senju clan will gain huge benefits, and this plan is complementary to Orochimaru's plan.

Although the rope tree does not seem to be on the west battlefield, don't forget that Zero-Tail in the Tianxing Fortress is already his incarnation. Therefore, after Orochimaru entered Nishikawa, the rope tree established contact with him and personally Convince White Fang to cooperate in the ambush plan.No one thought that Nezuki would sway the entire Konoha hierarchy in this way to achieve his own strategic goals. If this plan was proposed by him personally, it would inevitably be opposed by both conservatives and radicals. , and now he not only achieved his goal but also did not have to bear any responsibility.If the top management of Konoha were to know about the relationship between Nogeki and Orochimaru, they would definitely vomit blood.

After that, the ambush plan of White Fang and Orochimaru in the Grand General's Mansion was successfully implemented. The civilians in Sword Gate Pass were evacuated in time, and 15 Konoha ninja troops were ambushed among them, waiting for the enemy to come to their door.

In order to perfectly monitor the movements of the Kirigakure ninja army and prevent them from suddenly changing their direction of march, Naoki asked Orochimaru to personally control the snake swarm to monitor the Kirigakure ninja army. Once the situation changed, he would immediately use the snake formation to delay the opponent's actions and wait for reinforcements to arrive. This would avoid causing damage to the interior areas of the Fire Country, and at the same time block the Mist Ninja's retreat.

However, God is not as good as man. Unexpectedly, at the last moment due to the snake formation, Kirigakure saw the flaw, and the caution of the Minazuki clan leader was completely beyond the expectations of the rope tree, causing changes in the plan. Only then did Orochimaru Had to temporarily activate the backup plan.

Without Naoki's behind-the-scenes guidance, Orochimaru would not have personally used Earth Release to monitor the enemy, let alone stop the [-] ninja army on his own.

Of course, the main body of this ambush plan in which the enemy was lured deep into the empty city was still executed by Orochimaru himself, with Naoki just giving guidance from behind. The local war here was just a part of his plan. If Orochimaru's ambush was successful, it would It's good, even if the rope tree fails, there will be another back-up to ensure that his plan can succeed.
