Chapter 151 Pre-War Preparations (1st Update, Please Subscribe!)

Myoboku Mountain, back mountain.

Originally, Qianhe was going to go to the Hyuga clan to meet the Hyuga elder.

But halfway through his journey, he was informed by Kurofu who said that Jiraiya was waiting for him at Myoboku Mountain and hoped that he would come immediately.

So Qianhe was sent to Myoboku Mountain by reverse spiritualism.

As soon as he arrived at Myoboku Mountain, he was taken to the back mountain by Fukasaku Sage.

Jiraiya was sitting on the ground with a gloomy face, and Sage Shima was still bandaging him. His entire upper body was wrapped in bandages.

Seeing this, Qianhe hurried forward and said, "Teacher Jiraiya, what's wrong with you? Who hurt you!? How bad is your injury?"

"Hahaha, this little injury is nothing to my Toad Sage Jiraiya... Ah! It hurts!"

"Don't talk, kid! You almost hurt your internal organs!"

When Jiraiya saw Qianhe coming, he immediately waved his hands and laughed with a relaxed look in response to his concern. However, when Shima Sage tightened the bandage, Jiraiya's facial muscles twitched violently and he cried out in pain.

"What happened? Could it be from Kumogakure..." Qianhe reacted quickly. There are not many people in the current ninja world who can hurt Jiraiya. Considering that he has been active in Kumogakure recently, it is obviously related to Kumogakure.

Jiraiya nodded solemnly upon hearing this: "I found that although the vanguard troops of Kumogakure and Konoha had retreated, they sent another army of more than a thousand people to the west.

This army has been marching along the coastline and finally stopped at the border of the Frost Country.

And I also found that the two-tailed Jinchuriki in the army is a wooden man.

Yesterday, when I was about to get information about this army at close range, I was ambushed by the middle eight-tailed Jinchuriki hidden in the team and suffered some minor injuries.

Kumogakure sent out two perfect Jinchuriki, which obviously could not be for attacking the Frost Country.

It seems that they have a big plan this time!

I came back this time because I hope you can bring this information back to Konoha and hand it over to the third generation in person.

I have marked the approximate deployment of troops in the scroll."

As he said, Jiraiya took out a scroll and handed it to Qianhe.

Qianhe took the scroll and his mind raced.

In the original work, he only remembered that the leader of the Kumogakure envoys kidnapped Hinata in order to seize the Byakugan, and then was killed by Hyuga Hiashi.

In the end, Kumogakure threatened Konoha with war and asked Konoha to hand over Hyuga Hiashi's body.

As a result, Hyuga Hiashi sacrificed himself in place of his brother, saving Konoha from the war, and then Kumogakure and Konoha formed an alliance.

But there are actually many things worth pondering here. If you think about it carefully, there are many unreasonable places.

Even if Hinata is successfully kidnapped, how can you take her out?

Once the Hyuga clan finds out, as long as the Byakugan is opened, the ninjas of Kumogakure will have nowhere to hide.

Now that I think about it, Kumogakure may be deliberately making trouble, wanting to find an opportunity to start a war in the name of righteousness, or just to gain more benefits in the negotiations.

Regardless of whether the Kumogakure envoys succeed in kidnapping Hinata, Kumogakure can find an excuse to start a war.

And asking the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, a wealthy family in Konoha, to pay with his life is nonsense.

If Konoha agreed, the Hyuga clan would certainly be alienated from the top leaders, and if they didn't agree, Kumogakure would have a reason to make trouble, or they didn't think Konoha would agree from the beginning.

In the end, no one expected that the Hyuga clan would change the concept.

You want Konoha to hand over the body of Hyuga Hiashi, right? Then I'll give you the body of Hyuga Hiashi. Anyway, the two are twin brothers and look exactly the same.

As for the caged bird curse seal, you only said you wanted the body of Hyuga Hiashi, and Konoha gave it to you, but you didn't say that the white eyes in the body could be used.

In other words, Kumogakure can't prove whether it is specifically Hyuga Hiashi.

In this way, Kumogakure's conditions are met and the face of the Hyuga clan is preserved.

After all, the person who died was just a child of a branch family, even if he was the younger brother of the clan leader, it was insignificant.

But now that I think about it, there is indeed a problem.

According to Jiraiya's intelligence, Kumogakure sent two Jinchūriki and a large number of troops to the border of Frost Country. They couldn't be going there for tourism, right?

As for attacking Frost Country? Why would they need so many people? One Jinchūriki would be enough.

Thinking of this, Qianhe's pupils suddenly contracted. There were only two possibilities.

"Qianhe, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Qianhe lowering her head in a daze, Jiraiya couldn't help asking.

Qianhe came back to her senses and said, "Teacher Jiraiya, I'm wondering what the purpose of Kumogakure is?"

"Oh? Tell me!" Jiraiya couldn't help but get interested when he heard this. He knew that his disciple was very smart.

Qianhe replied: "There are only two possibilities. One is that the frontal troops of Kumogakure pretend to retreat, and the troops led by Jinchuriki take a detour to attack Konoha.

But this possibility is very small and can be ignored.

Because the movement of thousands of troops makes a lot of noise, it is obviously not appropriate to use the word "sneak attack".

In addition, if they are discovered in advance, the detour to attack is a joke.

So I think they should be guarding against something.

One is to guard against Konoha, and the other can only be guarding against the Iwagakure Village in the west.

I personally tend to think that they are guarding against Iwagakure.

Because if they are guarding against Konoha, to be honest, they will attack instead of defend and attack directly.

With the combat power of the two perfect Jinchūriki, unless they attack the headquarters of Konoha Village, no one in the Land of Fire can stop the combat power of the two perfect Jinchūriki. ”

Jiraiya also agreed with Qianhe's analysis and nodded: "This is true. Even if the old man and I join forces and can defeat these two Jinchūriki, we can't take them down.

Once the war breaks out in the Land of Fire, it is unknown how many casualties and property losses will be caused.

And if the old man and I go to deal with the Jinchūriki, what will happen to the remaining Fourth Raikage? This is the biggest trouble.

Facing the speed of the Fourth Raikage, except for my Sage Mode and Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique, no one else can fight him head-on. ”

Here, although Qianhe also learned Flying Thunder God, it is obvious that he is no match for Minato Namikaze now.

As for Qianhe himself, he knows that even if he has learned Flying Thunder God and Sage Mode, he still cannot compare with the battle-hardened Minato Namikaze due to age, combat experience and other differences.

Qianhe is also very clear about his own positioning. He can chop melons and vegetables with ordinary jonin, and it takes a little effort for elite jonin. Weak shadows can fight, and top shadows can run.

"So, I think that the western border troops of Kumogakure are to guard against Iwagakure Village, and their purpose is to stabilize the front battlefield!" Qianhe said in a deep voice.

Jiraiya heard this and his face changed drastically: "You mean, their real purpose is to go to war with Konoha, and they have made up their minds and made arrangements.

They sent out two Jinchūriki to prevent the sneak attack of Iwagakure when they go to war with Konoha!"

"Yes, it seems that the fourth generation Raikage will personally go to the front battlefield. "Qianhe nodded.

"This..." Jiraiya's face was solemn. He didn't expect that this would be the final result.

But he suddenly showed a puzzled look: "No, Konoha will definitely react to their obvious actions. It will only be a head-on confrontation. We are waiting for them to tire themselves out. They won't get any advantage on the front battlefield."

"So, they may have other purposes." Qianhe shook his head. He didn't like these twists and turns.

If he didn't know part of the plot, he wouldn't want to waste time analyzing these things. After all, Konoha is not his decision now. Even if he said many things, the third generation would not listen to him, and it might even cause suspicion. There is no need.

But if this matter goes well, it will be different.

Thinking of this, Qianhe said to Jiraiya: "Teacher Jiraiya, if we fight head-on, can you guarantee to hold back the fourth generation Raikage and prevent him from leaving the battlefield? "

Jiraiya looked puzzled, but out of his trust in Qianhe, he nodded and said:

"The most troublesome thing about the Fourth Raikage is his speed. If he is not fast enough, he is not my opponent when I use the Sage Mode with the help of the two adults, Fukasaku and Shima.

But it would be very difficult to kill him.

But if I just hold him back, I can ensure that he will not escape my attack range before the Sage Mode ends.

Why do you ask that? "

Qianhe smiled and shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just made a guess in my mind, I hope my guess will not come true."

Jiraiya was silent for a while, then stood up, put on his clothes, and said, "Okay, go back and bring the information to the Third Generation.

And about your guess, you should also discuss it with the Third Generation and Shikaku. He is Konoha's military advisor. I believe that with his help, the battle situation can be analyzed more thoroughly.

My injury is very minor and will not affect the next battle. I will return to the border between Konoha and Kumogakure later and closely monitor the front battlefield.

If there is any important information, you can inform me through the reverse summoning technique, and I will keep in touch with you at any time. "

"Yes, Jiraiya, take care of yourself, I'm going back."

After saying goodbye to Jiraiya, Qianhe returned to Konoha and gave the information to the third generation.

However, after the third generation learned the information, he immediately summoned Nara Shikaku, but did not keep Qianhe. He just told him not to spread it outside and let him leave.

Qianhe didn't care about this.

After leaving the Hokage's office, he rushed to his original destination again-the Hyuga clan.
