Chapter 782: , Waiting for the Rabbit and Making a Feint to the East

To boost morale and stabilize the army's heart, and also to declare to everyone in the Konoha camp the correctness of Konoha's strategic shift this time.

This strike must achieve victory and a certain degree of results.

Also because of this, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru had already discussed it and decided to lead their teams to launch a surprise attack on the targets within the Land of Rain.

All three quasi-Kage powerhouses in the Konoha formation were dispatched to ensure nothing went wrong.

Seeing that Tsunade had appeared, Orochimaru and Jiraiya stopped waiting and prepared to set off according to the previously planned plan.

But just at this moment, Tsunade suddenly spoke.

"Wait a minute."

She walked slowly to Jiraiya and Orochimaru and stopped their actions.

"Mm?"

Seeing this, Jiraiya and Orochimaru looked at each other and saw the question in each other's eyes.

Tsunade could not possibly not understand the principle that soldiers value speed; at the moment of setting off, delaying without reason is a big taboo; Tsunade could not possibly not understand.

Both of them felt full of doubts about Tsunade's obstruction.

"Jiraiya, Orochimaru."

"I have something to discuss with you; it's very important and must be said now."

Tsunade said righteously, her eyes full of confidence.

Seeing the expression on Tsunade's face, Orochimaru and Jiraiya always felt it was familiar; when Tsunade persuaded Konoha to withdraw and change strategy, she also showed a similar expression.

Could it be...

Their expressions became solemn one after another; they nodded to Tsunade, and the three walked toward a remote camp tent.

The Konoha ninjas looked at each other, not knowing what medicine was in the gourds of the three commanders when they were about to set off.

But due to the prestige and status of the three, the Konoha ninjas did not say much, just waiting quietly in place.

Not long after, the three returned again.

Tsunade's complexion was as before, the light in Orochimaru's eyes flickered, and Jiraiya, who had the shallowest city government on the side, was already full of excitement.

"I announce, the plan has changed!"

Then, Tsunade came to the crowd and said loudly to everyone.

At this moment, everyone was shocked, and the look in their eyes when looking at Tsunade carried a bit of inquiry.

On the other side, in a dense forest, Hanzo of the Salamander was lurking here with the elite troops of the Rain Ninjas.

As Konoha changed its strategy and set up a posture to consume to the end, Hanzo of the Salamander's Mobile Corps Commander strategy of avoiding the sharpness had been broken and it was difficult to achieve results.

Soldiers have no constant situation, water has no constant shape.

With the change of the war situation, Hanzo of the Salamander also had to take the initiative to attack.

After all, if they let it consume like this, how could the poor Rain Ninjas consume Konoha, which was rich in oil.

Therefore, Hanzo of the Salamander had to find a way to take the initiative to attack.

As the Konoha army withdrew from the border of the Land of Rain, although the two sides were temporarily calm on the surface.

But the calmer the surface, the more turbulent the inside.

In fact, in the dark, the intensity of the intelligence war between the two sides had already risen by several levels.

In such fierce intelligence looting and anti-looting, the two sides generally had their own victories and defeats.

It must be said that although Orochimaru was a newcomer, his sense of smell and consciousness in the intelligence war were no less than Hanzo of the Salamander.

The several "Rain Ninja gathering places" that Konoha intended to attack this time were information obtained by Orochimaru in the intelligence war.

Although Orochimaru was outstanding enough, Hanzo of the Salamander was not a name in vain; ginger is still old and spicy.

In fact, several of the Rain Ninja gathering places were information he actively leaked to Orochimaru.

Hanzo had already determined that the leakage of information about the Rain Ninja gathering places would inevitably lead to Konoha's active attack.

Therefore, Hanzo could choose to ambush in one place and wait for the rabbit.

In other words, these pieces of information were both information full of value and bait deliberately thrown out by Hanzo of the Salamander.

Because Hanzo knew clearly in his heart that if a large-scale confrontation were to unfold, the situation would still be a disadvantage for the Rain Ninjas.

Because there were three ninjas at the "Kage" level on the Konoha side, and he, Hanzo of the Salamander, was only one person, unable to split himself.

Although the three Kage-level ninjas of the other side were the worst quasi-Kages, they were not something ordinary ninjas could deal with.

Also because of this, the Rain Ninjas had no ability to set up ambushes in three places at the same time.

If you don't give up the child, you can't catch the wolf; the three Rain Ninja gathering places that Hanzo of the Salamander actively leaked were actually true, otherwise they couldn't deceive Orochimaru's eyes.

Not only that, the reason Hanzo would throw out three baits was also because he was afraid that if he just abruptly threw out one bait, it would seem too deliberate and would arouse Konoha's suspicion.

And he determined that the first battle of the attack would inevitably be all-out, and the leader of the troops responsible for attacking these three Rain Ninja gathering points must be one of the three quasi-Kages.

And once the other side took the bait, Hanzo's plan would succeed.

Facing a quasi-Kage alone, it was easy for Hanzo to clean him up.

"It is better to break one finger than to hurt ten fingers"; even if the Rain Ninjas in the other two places were wiped out, it didn't matter to Hanzo of the Salamander.

Using some cannon fodder to exchange for a quasi-Kage level combat power of the other side, no matter how you calculate this account, it is more cost-effective for the Rain Ninja side.

The forest where Hanzo was at this moment was exactly one of the Rain Ninja gathering places in Orochimaru's intelligence, and at this time, not only was Hanzo sitting here, but a net had already been laid, just waiting for the Konoha ninjas to drill in.

Just as Hanzo was waiting in the forest for the Konoha ninjas to "throw themselves into the net," a Rain Ninja came to report in panic.

"It's not good, Hanzo-sama!!!"

"Konoha didn't attack our gathering place; they bypassed it and went straight to our rear; our rear was attacked!"

The Rain Ninja reported to Hanzo in a panic.

At this moment, Hanzo frowned.

As the leader of the Rain Ninjas, he was very familiar with the situation in the Land of Rain.

All the Rain Ninjas were arranged by him on the front line bordering Konoha, and there was no shadow of Rain Ninjas in the rear of the Land of Rain.

The rear of the Rain Ninjas had no value for attack at all; what kind of fighting method was this?

"Where is their target?"

Hanzo frowned and asked in a low voice.

"It's the Rain Plain!!!"

The Rain Ninja answered, and these words made Hanzo's pupils shrink violently.

Hanzo suddenly realized the problem, and his face suddenly turned livid.

"Quick!"

"Quickly return to defense!"

At this moment, Hanzo didn't even have time to say much, and set off directly to the area called the Rain Plain.

Although Hanzo of the Salamander realized the problem, it was already too late to go back now.

And at this moment, the Sannin of Konoha had already led nearly a thousand Konoha ninjas and arrived at this fertile land called the Rain Plain without anyone knowing.

It must be said that this is a very magical area.

As everyone knows, it is constantly raining in the Land of Rain, which is not conducive to the growth of plants.

Only this area called the Rain Plain is an exception.

Although it is still shrouded in fine rain, the scale of precipitation is not large, and most importantly, although the rain is still continuous, the sky here is always clear, forming a spectacle similar to "sun rain."

Due to sufficient sunshine, this place has also become an important grain-producing area within the Land of Rain. ===== CHAPTER 784 =====
