The plan proposed by Mizuto Kado En was that Konoha would first pretend to partially accept the contents of the Raikage's ultimatum and try to delay the other party's action. At the same time, it would deploy layers of defenses on the border, using a large number of ordinary ninjas with the help of fortifications to consume the opponent's morale through continuous defensive battles. At the same time, our main force would launch a surprise attack on the Iwagakure Village and solve the big trouble in the rear in one fell swoop.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Might Guy looked puzzled and said hastily;

"Although the Iwagakure Village has made some moves, they haven't officially declared war on us. But it's not a good idea for us to just sneak attack them."

Tsunade frowned, waved her hand, stopped everyone's discussion, looked at Mito behind her, and said;

"Go on, I want to hear your reasons for doing this."

"The reason is simple."

Mito spoke from the wheelchair.

He and Nara Shikaku looked at each other and both nodded. It was obvious that Shikaku's contribution was also indispensable to this plan, but he asked the more experienced Mitomon En to say this on his behalf.

"First of all, the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki is ambitious and has been trying to make his village surpass our Konoha. I'm sure you have all heard about this. In addition, since he publicly announced that he would accept the rebels of the Uchiha clan as his own clan members, he has been stockpiling a large number of troops on the border of the Land of Earth.

The reason I didn't make trouble was that I didn't want to be the first one to take action.

His plan was obvious. He was going to wait until both the Hidden Cloud Village and our Konoha were defeated, and then launch a surprise attack from behind.

Therefore, if we launch a surprise attack now, it will be beyond their expectations and have the effect of a surprise attack.

On the contrary, if we launch a surprise attack on the Hidden Cloud Village, or the Hidden Mist Village far away on an isolated island, it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect and it is likely to turn into an encounter battle.

Secondly, the strength of the Iwagakure Village is weaker than that of the Kumogakure Village, which has three tailed beast jinchuriki. They only have two jinchuriki, and their strength seems to be inferior to that of the Eight-Tails jinchuriki.

They are far less threatening to us than the AB combination of the Hidden Cloud Village.

After the passing of the Fourth Hokage, I can't think of anyone in our Konoha who can resist the AB combination of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Now, the opponent has an additional Six-Tails Jinchuriki as well as the Uchiha clan and the people of the Hidden Mist Village to help them. Facing such an opponent, it is impossible to defeat them by surprise attack.

In addition, although the Iwagakure Village is located in a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the enemy mistakenly stockpiled a large number of troops on the front line, which gave us an opportunity to take advantage of.

Finally, according to Lord Jiraiya's intelligence network (here he glanced at Jiraiya and Itachi) and Uchiha Itachi's reconnaissance, although they had stockpiled their troops on the front line, they were not prepared to start a war in a short period of time.

There are still a large amount of supplies being continuously transported from the rear to the front line. In addition, there is only one Jinchūriki stationed at the front line, and the two of them rotate frequently.

This is our best chance to launch a surprise attack.

As long as we successfully launch an attack on the Iwagakure front line, we can get rid of our other trouble in the shortest time. The Sand Village will also be shocked by this attack and will not dare to stab us in the back.

In this way, we will have completely solved the trouble on the western front, and will be able to continuously transfer troops back to Konoha, so that we can have a decisive battle on the outskirts of Konohagakure with the coalition forces of Kumogakure and Mistgakure that have come from afar and passed through layers of obstacles along the way.

In the end, there is a high probability that we will defeat the exhausted Cloud and Mist coalition forces with our well-rested elite division, thus completely establishing the victory of this war."

This analysis was very well-organized, and it did not seem like something he could have thought of alone. Instead, it was a combination of Nara Shikaku's strategic wisdom, Itachi's intelligence, and Jiraiya's command talent. It could be said that it had pushed Konoha's wisdom to its limit.

However, it seems a bit unreasonable to use diplomatic means to try to delay time for a ninja village that issued an ultimatum to oneself, and to use one's own elite troops to raid a ninja village that has not officially torn relations with oneself. It is also difficult to explain to the daimyo.

As the Hokage who has to consider the overall situation, it is understandable that Tsunade seems a little hesitant.

Her nail-polished fingers tapped the table subconsciously, making a series of noises, and her brain was working wildly, considering the pros and cons of this matter.

Soon, she suddenly raised her head, not looking at Mitomon En, but looking at Jiraiya and said;

"How do you plan to carry out this raid? How confident are you that it will succeed?"

Jiraiya paused for a moment and said;

"For this raid, apart from the Hokage who must stay in Konoha to command, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who is still in training and cannot participate in this battle, we also need to select the remaining most elite ninjas, at least those with strength above the Chunin. In order to conceal, the number of people does not need to be too large, more than 2000 will be enough."

After saying that, he looked around.

"Including me, Uchiha Itachi, Kakashi, Might Guy and others, the rest of us will set up layers of defense on the eastern front, using various explosive ninja tools to wear down the enemy's spirit, and we will take advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack.

According to my intelligence analysis, we have about 70% chance of defeating the elite troops of Iwagakure on the front line. The enemy is likely to have only one Jinchūriki on the front line, so our strength is absolutely superior.

And because we are on the front line, the geographical factors of Iwagakure cannot be brought into play. As long as we can succeed this time, casualties are secondary. We can destroy nearly half of the supplies of Iwagakure Village, thereby hitting the opponent's war potential.

But the next battle..." Jiraiya shook his head.

"I am not completely confident about the upcoming battles with the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village."

Tsunade groaned;

"If we can't pass this level, then how can we fight the Hidden Cloud Village and the Kirikumo Village? I agreed to this risky plan, and I will bear the most infamy alone."

This is also a helpless move.

She then began to pass on various orders, including sending envoys to the Hidden Cloud Village to make diplomatic efforts, and sending secret envoys to explain to the daimyo the reasons for doing so. The final appointment was finally issued.

That was to let Jiraiya be the leader and Uchiha Itachi be the deputy, leading Kakashi, Might Guy and others, to secretly select elite ninjas to launch a sneak attack on the front-line troops of the Hidden Rock Village, so as to completely stabilize the war situation on the western front, and then transfer the troops back to the eastern front to fight a decisive battle with the Hidden Cloud Village coalition.
