Reincarnation of Naruto

Chapter 63 Hatake Sakumo’s plan

The next day, a group of 40 people, led by Kurama Hazo, continued to rush towards the River Country.

The illusion experience last night also made Cangji stop looking down on others.

With a Kage-level strength, he was controlled by Kurama Hazo, who was only an elite jounin, for about a minute. This was absolutely undesirable on the battlefield.

If this kind of thing really happened on the battlefield, the injury would be minor, but the loss of life would be major!

After another day's journey, the team finally arrived at Konoha's station in River Country at noon on the third day.

The current commander of this station is Hatake Sakumo!

"Sakumo-sama, I have been ordered by the Hokage-sama to lead a large team here to provide support." Kurama Yatsuzo and Aoji's three squad leaders came to Hatake Sakumo and said respectfully.

Then he handed the scroll that the Third Hokage gave him to Hatake Sakumo.

This was the first time Aoji met Hatake Sakumo.

He had white hair tied back into a ponytail, wore Konoha's characteristic Jonin uniform, and carried a short sword on his back.

The first impression given by the whole person is that of being capable and at the same time showing an edge.

After Hatake Sakumo read the scroll handed over by Kurama Hazo, he arranged for a few people to go down to rest and eat.

After lunch, Aoji came to find Hatake Sakumo who was still looking at the intelligence documents ahead.

"Sakumo-sama." Aoji bowed respectfully.

"Oh? You are Hinata Aoji, right? I heard senior Hinata Kumikawa mention you several times in front of me. What's the matter? Why do you come to see me?" Putting down the documents in hand, Hatake Sakumo smiled at Ao.

Si said.

"Sakumo-sama, it's our first time meeting you. I've always wanted to find a chance to thank you. If it weren't for you, my grandfather would have died long ago and wouldn't have been able to return to Konoha." Aoji said to Hatake Sakumo sincerely.

said.

This is indeed the case. Hinata Kumikawa was poisoned by the Sunagakure puppet master when he was retreating to cover his teammates.

If Hatake Sakumo hadn't come back in time to rescue, Tsunade wouldn't have been able to detoxify Hinata Kumikawa.

He might be killed by Sunagakure's ninja immediately, and even the Byakugan might fall into Sunagakure's hands.

After all, other ninja villages have been coveting the eyes of the Konoha Hyuga clan for a long time. If given the opportunity, they will never let it go.

If this really happened, Aoji might not even be able to see Hinata Kumikawa for the last time.

It’s not possible, it’s certain!

Therefore, Aangji's gratitude is definitely sincere.

He had also been looking for an opportunity to thank Hatake Sakumo, but the latter had been on the front line and never returned to Konoha, so it had been delayed until now.

"I feel ashamed to say it. If I had made proper arrangements before I left, Hinata Kumikawa-senpai would not have suffered this disaster." Speaking of this matter, Hatake Sakumo looked guilty.

"No, Sakumo-sama, if Sunagakure intends to make a sneak attack, they will always find an opportunity after you leave. This has nothing to do with you." Aangji also didn't expect that he originally wanted to thank someone, but why suddenly

It's become someone's apology.

The two of them didn't talk much about this topic, after all, so much time had passed.

"Aangji-kun, I don't know what else you came to me for other than this matter. If you need it, I will definitely help."

Hatake Sakumo, who has always believed that he was at fault regarding Hinata Kumikawa, now wants to make amends to his only grandson.

"Sakumo-sama, the second reason why I came here is to ask you about the situation of Uchiha Yan." Without answering Hatake Sakumo's words, Aoji talked about his second purpose.

Just as Hatake Sakumo was about to answer, a figure entered.

"Sakumo-sama, I...Aoji! Why are you here?"

The person who came in was none other than Uchiha En.

Originally, Uchiha En was here to report the information his team had gathered to Hatake Sakumo, but he didn't expect to see Hyuga Souji first when he entered here.

"What a coincidence. Aangji-kun is looking for En-kun. This is just the time." Hatake Sakumo looked at all this and said with a smile.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Sakumo-sama, I, I was a little too excited when I saw Aoji for the first time." He remembered that he originally wanted to report the situation to Hatake Sakumo.

Unexpectedly, the moment I saw my friend, I couldn't tell the difference between priority and priority. Damn it!

"Don't worry, En-kun. Aoji-kun just happened to be asking me about you. I didn't expect you to come just then. What a coincidence." Hatake Sakumo waved his hand indifferently.

For Hatake Sakumo, who always values ​​his partners and relationships, every ninja is his teammate, so he is generally very gentle towards his subordinates.

Besides, it's not a big deal.

"Oh, Sakumo-sama, I have gathered information, and Sunagakure will take action tonight." After turning his eyes back from Aoji, Uchiha En said with a serious face.

"Tonight, Soji-kun, it's a coincidence that you guys came here. We just lacked the manpower to ambush Sunagakure." After hearing the information about Uchiha En, Hatake Sakumo looked forward as if he had expected it.

The two said.

Since Aangji had just come here, he was still confused after hearing the conversation between the two.

Uchiha En also immediately told Aangji everything.

After listening, Aoji also understood and couldn't help but sigh that Hatake Sakumo was so big-hearted that he actually wanted to eat all of Sunagakure's ninja troops in one go.

Hatake Sakumo's plan is very simple, which is to pretend that Konoha's military strength is empty, then lure the ninjas from Sunagakure Village to attack, and then lay out a counter-encirclement and suppression strategy.

The most difficult step in the plan is how to make the opposite Sunagakure feel that Konoha is really empty of troops, rather than luring the snake out of its hole.

For this reason, as early as a few days ago, Hatake Sakumo brought the ninjas who were only slightly injured but still capable of fighting, together with the seriously injured ninjas, back to Konoha under the protection of Tsunade.

As for Orochimaru and Jiraiya, they are currently fighting Kirigakure in the Land of Waves and the Country of Yu respectively.

Danzo also appeared frequently in the village.

As a result, the only Kage-level strongman in Konoha was Hatake Sakumo who was still stationed in the River Country to guard against Sunagakure.

And these were specially arranged by Hatake Sakumo to be shown to Sunagakure.

In Sunagakure's eyes, now should be the best time to raid Konoha.

Sure enough, under the arrangement of Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha En obtained the information that Sunagakure would launch a sneak attack on Konoha tonight.

Normally, with the number of ninjas Konoha currently has in River Country, it is absolutely impossible to counter-encircle Sunagakure.

And that’s exactly what Sunagakure’s senior management thinks!

However, at the same time, Hatake Sakumo quietly applied for support from the Third Hokage, and Aoji and others were among the supporting teams.

Aoji originally thought that only his own brigade would come to the front line to support Hatake Sakumo, but he didn't expect that it was Hatake Sakumo who asked the Hokage to come in batches to support the ninjas.

After thinking for a while, Aoji understood the reason for Hatake Sakumo's arrangement.

The advantage of supporting in batches is that even if Sunagakure gets the information that Konoha has reinforcements in advance, he won't be very worried when he sees that the number of people is not very large.

Moreover, supporting in batches can better avoid detection by Sunagakure ninjas.

If a large number of ninja troops come to support, there is a risk that the powerful chakra gathered together will be sensed by Sunagakure at any time, and it is also easy to expose oneself.

For this reason, Aoji had to admire Hatake Sakumo's clever arrangement!

The evacuation of a large number of ninjas, and then the support of small groups of ninjas, this strategy is very sure that he has seen it in the classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms!

"Are you sure who the leading ninja is?" After Uchiha En explained to Aoji, Hatake Sakumo continued to ask.

"There are two leading ninjas on the other side. They are a couple, named Akasha Imu and Akasha Yuki. It is said that they are the son and daughter-in-law of Chiyo, the elder of Sunagakure." Uchiha En continued to talk about some of the information he had obtained.

.

When Uchiha En said the first half of the sentence, Aangji didn't know who the two people he was talking about were, but when he said the second half of the sentence, Aangji immediately realized it.

"Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law? Aren't those the parents of the Red Sand Scorpion in the Akatsuki organization in the future?" Aangji couldn't help but thought in surprise.

Darling, Hatake Sakumo is also here now, and he has also arranged to trap the opponent. This matches the plot of the original novel in which Hatake Sakumo kills Scorpio's parents.

"As for Sunagakure Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law, if we can deal with them directly, it will probably be a big blow to Sunagakure, and the war will end faster." Hatake Sakumo carefully analyzed all the information he had received.

.

Hatake Sakumo's character is actually very similar to Namikaze Minato. They are both the kind who value their companions, are gentle to their own people, and are ruthless to their enemies.

It will be very comfortable to get along with such a person, and you can completely leave your back to the other person.

"When you friends meet, let's have a good chat first. When all the support teams arrive, we will discuss the specific plan in detail. Anyway, there is still time." Hatake Sakumo then also very considerately left some space for the two of them.

free time.

"Yes, Sakumo-sama × 2."

Aoji and Uchiha En responded at the same time, and then left the tent where Hatake Sakumo was staying.

"Hey, Aangji, why are you here? Will your clan leader and other elders let you out? You didn't sneak into the battlefield, right?" After walking a distance, Uchiha En asked Aang strangely.

manage.

"Don't worry, I'm definitely here legally to put those weird thoughts in your head away." Aangji looked helplessly at Uchiha En, who still looked suspicious.

Regarding the Hyuga clan, the Uchiha clan, as their old rivals, actually know a lot about them.

Especially high-level members of the Hyuga clan like Aoji cannot leave the Land of Fire at will, let alone go to the battlefield.

Now, Aangji has come to the Kingdom of Rivers openly, and Uchiha En will certainly feel curious.

"Okay, if you encounter danger, I will protect you." Uchiha En said with a narcissistic look.

Aangji instantly looked at Uchiha En as if he were looking at a fool.

"When you were training, your strength was half as tough as your words, but now you are probably three magatama." Aangji said disdainfully.

"You, Aoji, I want to duel with you!" Aoji's words immediately made Uchiha blush.

For this reason, Uchiha En even opened his Nimagatama Sharingan.

"Are you sure that if you duel with me now, you won't be punished by Sakumo-sama later?" Aoji mocked lightly again.

"Sakumo-sama will not punish me for this kind of thing." Although Uchiha En said so, he still closed his Sharingan.

The battle with Sunagakure was about to begin, but it turned out that our own people took the lead before the battle. This is something that cannot be said anywhere, even if it is just an insignificant training.

In this situation, everyone's best choice is to keep their spirits up and be ready for the battle at night.

And unlike Uchiha En, Aoji just arrived on the road today.

At this time, if En Uchiha pulls Aoji to "practice", even if Hatake Sakumo doesn't say anything, his face probably won't look very good.

Uchiha En still has some self-awareness.

What just happened was just a daily fight between the two of them.

It can also be said to be a regular interaction between friends.

Friends, it's all like this. The more you dislike it on your lips, the more you care about it in your heart!
