Chapter 838: , The Snake's Rebirth!

Outside the camp, on a mountain peak not far away, a temporary command post stood here.

Tsunade and Jiraiya were currently waiting in the camp.

Tsunade sat in the main seat, calm and composed, seemingly having everything under control; while Jiraiya had his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth in the tent, his expression full of anxiety.

Besides the two, the rest were some strategists of the Konoha Allied Forces, as well as perception and communication ninjas responsible for passing messages and collecting intelligence.

Finally, the firelight soaring into the sky in the distance entered their eyes.

In an instant, Jiraiya's pupils contracted sharply, and his originally tightly locked brows instantly relaxed.

"It's done!"

Jiraiya clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it into his left palm, the joy in his eyes overflowing.

Not only him, but even Tsunade, who seemed as steady as Mount Tai, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"Order all units, attack!"

Tsunade immediately ordered the communication ninja beside her who was responsible for contacting Konoha ninjas deployed in other positions.

"Yes!"

A communication ninja immediately responded, then solemnly performed communication ninjutsu to communicate with other Konoha ninjas.

It turned out that yesterday, through Mizunuki Ryosuke's face-to-face instruction, Tsunade immediately made arrangements based on Mizunuki Ryosuke's analysis and deduction.

According to Mizunuki Ryosuke's deduction, Salamander Hanzo, who had been facing tremendous logistical pressure recently, would definitely take the initiative to launch a surprise attack on Konoha, so Konoha needed to be prepared at all times to actively deal with the Rain ninjas' attack.

Thus, Tsunade chose to use the enemy's plan against them, luring the enemy deep and catching them in a trap.

And because of the success of the previous tactics, Orochimaru and Jiraiya did not raise or express any doubts about Tsunade's decision.

Thus, under Tsunade's careful preparation, Konoha abandoned the original main camp and laid out a massive amount of explosive tags underground throughout the entire main camp.

Subsequently, the Konoha side, under Orochimaru's mobilization, gathered nearly a thousand death squads, leaving these nearly a thousand Konoha ninjas who were determined to die in the main camp to act as bait.

Not only that, Orochimaru, one of the three commanders, also personally guarded the camp to deal with any emergencies that might occur at any time.

And the other ninjas had already been deployed by Tsunade at different positions ten kilometers away from the Konoha camp, surrounding the Konoha camp tightly.

The three agreed to use the explosion as a signal; as soon as Orochimaru activated the explosive tags under the Konoha camp, the Konoha ninjas who had long been lying in ambush around would immediately launch a strangulation attack on the Rain ninjas and directly form a counter-encirclement.

Everything was indeed as Mizunuki Ryosuke had predicted; Salamander Hanzo took the initiative to launch an attack, attempting to use this to turn the tide.

Little did he know that all his actions had not escaped Mizunuki Ryosuke's prediction.

At this moment, the Rain ninjas' defeat and return was already a foregone conclusion.

"Tsunade, you stay here and command."

"I'll go to the front line to help!"

Seeing that Tsunade's plan had succeeded, Jiraiya felt that the overall situation was settled, and he was no longer needed here.

It would be better to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, so he requested Tsunade.

As he spoke, a trace of profoundness and firmness appeared in Jiraiya's pupils, and he carried a resolute aura on his body.

"Hmm, then you go."

"Be careful."

Tsunade thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

After all, she had no reason to leave an idle quasi-Kage combat power unused; indeed, her presence here at the command post was enough.

"Good!"

Jiraiya's eyes became increasingly deep, carrying some expressions that Tsunade could not see through.

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya's back, feeling that something seemed wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong.

At this critical moment, Tsunade could only force down this strange thought.

"Jiraiya, don't let me down."

Thinking of this, Tsunade shook her head and focused her energy on the command of the battlefield.

Konoha camp ruins.

With the end of the explosion, the originally magnificent Konoha camp, except for some embers still burning, was left with only charred residue on the ground.

Occasionally, one could still see some charred remains and broken limbs that were no better than charcoal scattered around this charred land, making pitter-patter sounds while burning.

These charred residues were the remains of the dead after the explosion, both Rain ninjas and Konoha ninjas.

Having experienced such a tragic scene, these corpses could no longer be identified as human.

And on this charred land, there was only one charred corpse that looked relatively complete. It was just that although this corpse was complete, it had already been burned beyond recognition, looking like a burnt roast duck.

"Ka ka..."

Suddenly, a faint sound rang out, appearing particularly harsh in this silent environment. ===== CHAPTER 840 =====
