Chapter 592

Konoha Camp.

In the most central tent.

Orochimaru was standing in front of the sand table map, fiddling with the flags on the sand table map.

Each small flag represents a squad, and each large flag represents a division, and the different colors represent the different nature of the team, some are reconnaissance teams, some are assassination teams, and some are combat teams.

The atmosphere in the tent was a bit depressing. Danzo was sitting not far away, looking at the sand table map without saying a word, and several elite Jonin next to him also had a gloomy expression.

"The activities of the sand ninjas have brought a lot of pressure to the flank."

Orochimaru said with a hoarse voice after inserting a few flags somewhere on the sand table map.

The situation is not good!

They are already under a lot of pressure to deal with the Rock and Rain ninjas, and as a result, just the day before yesterday, the sand ninjas began to move in the southern border flank.

These sand ninjas were sent by the Yondaime Kazekage, and as for the purpose, it is very strange, not simply for the war, but to eliminate the dissidents.

In the previous war, Chiyo was beheaded by Kaede, and the prestige of the Hai Lao Zou also suffered a heavy blow, and Rosha, who was originally forced to take the position of the Yondaime Kazekage, has firmly sat in the position of the Yondaime Kazekage.

And after sitting firmly in the position of the Yondaime Kazekage, Rosha did not stop taking power, he bribed, suppressed, and coerced the senior members of the village, and in a very short time, he controlled more than half of the village.

And those that are not controlled and formed groups … like the Uchiha Clan of Konoha that are difficult to control, were sent out by him to occupy the territory of the Land of Fire.

The Sand ninjas did not completely tear up the contract signed before.

This batch of Sand ninjas was only active in the border area, in some areas of unknown ownership, they have not yet fought with the ninjas of Konoha, nor did they take the initiative to start a war.

But the problem is that even if the Sand ninjas don't take the initiative to start a war, and only have hundreds of troops on the border, it is still a lot of pressure for Konoha!

It's impossible to ignore it!

The presence of this batch of Sand ninjas forced Orochimaru to separate a part of his forces to deal with them, in this case, the conflict with the Rock ninjas has become very serious.

Onoki Onoki is extremely insidious and cunning, especially after Kaede and Minato became famous, he has almost never launched a large-scale attack, but carried out scattered battles.

Thousands of Rock ninjas were divided into hundreds of troops, active in the border area, and some directly invaded the interior of the Land of Fire.

The purpose of this is very simple.

It is to guard against Minato and Hatake Kaede.

Even if both Minato and Hatake Kaede appear on this battlefield, at most they will lose a unit, and there won't be a large-scale loss, and if they notice something is wrong, they will immediately retreat.

Because Konoha is fighting against the three great Shinobi villages at the same time, the number of ninjas on the Rock battlefield is only seven to eight thousand, after this period of casualties, the actual combat power has been sharply reduced to less than six thousand.

On the other hand, there were nearly ten thousand ninjas eyeing the Rock Ninjas covetously.

The lack of troops also makes it difficult for Konoha to launch a decisive battle, after all, the other side has more people than you, and if they don't intend to fight you head-on, it's impossible for you to surround them.

Therefore, Konoha can only be forced to deal with such small-scale battles. Orochimaru and Danzo have led teams to go out, but the actual results are not ideal, because Onoki often leads elite troops to launch surprise attacks.

"The actions of the Sand ninjas really need to be vigilant, it seems that they haven't started yet, but there is a possibility that they will start a war with us again at any time."

Danzo stared at the sand map and said in a deep voice.

Now everyone is very clear that except for the Land of Fire, the other four countries will not attack each other again, because once they attack each other, the remaining two countries will inevitably be unable to resist the power of Konoha, and will be defeated one by one.

The Sand ninja village is also very clear about this, so they don't have to worry about the Rock ninjas sneak attacking them, so they can participate in the war at any time!

"If we can deal with the Heiyu village, the situation can be stabilized … But that guy Hanzo …"

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a gloomy and uncertain look.

If it was any other small village, it wouldn't be a threat to Konoha at all, and they can just send a group of ninjas to directly destroy the other party.

But the Rain village is different, the number of ninjas in the village is not small, two to three thousand, and the most important thing is that the leader of the Rain village, Hanzo, is not as strong as the leaders of the other small villages, but an extremely powerful ninja!

Even the Five Kage can't do anything to him!

In this case, the Rain village has become an extremely troublesome existence for Konoha.

If it was in normal times, Konoha wouldn't be afraid, but now they are facing the Rock village, and they have to guard against the Sand village, so the actions of the Rain village will be very fatal.

"Is there any news from Kaede's side?"

Orochimaru turned his head and looked at Danzo.

The war situation in the Land of Rain has always been handled by Danzo, and many of the Root ninjas under his command are scattered in the Land of Rain, collecting intelligence, and some are keeping an eye on the Rain village.

Danzo shook his head and said, "We have lost contact with Kaede, but my people have detected the movement of the Rain village. They arrived in a town not far from the Rain village a day ago, and they should have returned to the village by now."

"This guy Hanzo …"

Orochimaru murmured with a calm face.

Hanzo's style of doing things is too cautious, so cautious that he can't find an opportunity to deal with the threat of the Rain. In this situation, he can only let Kaede return first, and then let him deal with the Rock teams.

As long as a few teams are eliminated, the Rock ninjas will notice that the Silver Flash is active on this battlefield, and the degree of activity and the scale of the operation will inevitably be greatly reduced.

That way, the pressure on the front can be relieved a lot.

If Hanzo launches a sudden flank attack again, at that time, Kaede will lead the team to fight Hanzo, and this is the most suitable strategy for now.

"Danzo-sama."

Just as Orochimaru was contemplating, a Root ninja suddenly came in and saluted Danzo while handing a sealed scroll to him and said: "This is the information from the Rain Village."

"Well …"

Danzo took the scroll and slowly opened it, glancing at it, he saw the first line describing the news that Hanzo has led the Rain back to the Rain Village.

Danzo glanced at Orochimaru and said: "Hanzo has returned to the Rain Village, I don't know the specific location of Kaede, Orochimaru, do you have any news? I will let my people contact Kaede … "

"No."

Orochimaru shook his head and said: "Kaede hasn't learned Ninjutsu from me for a long time, I haven't had time to teach him Psychic Jutsu, so I can't use my Psychic Beast to contact him …"

At this point, Orochimaru's voice gradually weakened.

He noticed that Danzo's expression suddenly changed, he suddenly stared at the scroll in his hand, his face froze as if he saw something incredible.

"What happened?"

Orochimaru looked at Danzo's expression and asked with a frown.

Danzo stared at the scroll for a few seconds, as if recovering from some kind of disbelief, he slowly lowered the scroll, looked at Orochimaru and said:

"Hanzo is dead."

"The Rain Village collapsed."
