#163 - Chapter 163 Coping Strategies
Sunagakure Village, the Kazekage Building.
Ever since Rasa told everyone about the existence of the Dragon Oasis, this was the first time everyone had gathered together again.
The two elders of Sunagakure Village: Chiyo and Ebizo!
The jinchuriki of the One-Tail: Bunpuku!
Sunagakure Village's two high-ranking officials and combat forces: Pakura and Mikawa.
The leader of the Anbu: Maki!
Rasa's assistant: Shingu!
The current head of Sunagakure Village's medical department: Iris!
The current head of Sunagakure Village's logistics department: Ryuji.
The current director of Sunagakure Village's Ninja Hospital: Yakushamaru!
The current director of Sunagakure Village's orphanage: Karura!
The future successor to Chiyo: Hanataba, and the successor to Ebizo: Honoka.
To maintain the secrecy of the operation, only these people were qualified to know and appear here this time.
Everyone had already heard the news that Iwagakure and Kumogakure were advancing towards the Land of Wind.
Everyone looked at the Kazekage-sama at the top with tense and expectant expressions, the one who had created countless miracles.
Rasa also looked down at the people who could be said to hold the highest power in all aspects of Sunagakure Village.
Finally, he spoke his plan.
"Everyone, you should have heard the news outside, so I won't waste any more words.
With Sunagakure Village's current strength, it is almost impossible to confront Iwagakure and Kumogakure head-on.
If Sunagakure Village wants to win this war, there is only one way, which I call: the Decapitation Operation!"
Speaking of this, Rasa looked at Maki beside him and said.
"Maki, introduce the information received by the Anbu!"
"Yes!"
As Maki moved, a map of the ninja world appeared in front of everyone.
Maki had prepared in advance and marked the map.
"Please take a look, everyone.
According to the information we received from the Anbu, Iwagakure and Kumogakure have mobilized a total of 16,000 ninjas, divided into four fronts to attack our Land of Wind."
"The first front: 6,000 ninjas from Iwagakure, attacking our Land of Wind from the direction of the Land of Birds, led by the two jinchuriki of Iwagakure: the Five-Tails Jinchuriki: Han, and the Four-Tails Jinchuriki: Roshi."
"The second front: 4,000 ninjas from Kumogakure, attacking from the sea, led by Kumogakure's Magnet Release ninjas: Toroi and Dotai."
"The third front: 2,000 ninjas from Iwagakure, attacking the Land of Wind from the direction of the Land of Rain.
They were transferred from the original Iwagakure ninja unit that attacked Konoha, led by Iwagakure's Explosion Release ninja: Gari."
"The fourth front: 4,000 ninjas from Kumogakure, also from the ninja unit that attacked Konoha before, launching a surprise attack on our Land of Wind from the direction of the Land of Rivers, led by Kumogakure's A-B combo."
Listening to Maki's narration and looking at the four lines on the map that surrounded the entire Land of Wind, everyone present had a bad look on their faces.
Chiyo narrowed her eyes slightly and said with emotion.
"Iwagakure and Kumogakure are really going all out!"
Maki continued.
"Among these four fronts, the first front from Iwagakure is the easiest to reach the border of our Land of Wind due to geographical reasons.
Although the speed is slower due to the large number of troops, it is expected to reach the border of the Land of Wind by tomorrow night."
"As for the third and fourth fronts, although they are currently within the Land of Fire, geographically speaking, they are relatively close to our Land of Wind, but because their supplies are slow and they are within the Land of Fire, it will take five days to arrive."
"As for the second front, it is the slowest, taking seven days, but because they are coming by boat, both the supply and the morale of the ninjas are the most sufficient, and they will not consume too much physical strength."
"Kazekage-sama, that's all I have to say."
"Hmm!"
Rasa nodded and looked at everyone, continuing.
"First of all, don't worry about the third front.
I have already asked the people from the 'Akatsuki' organization, and they will help us hold back these 2,000 Iwagakure ninjas."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"However, the remaining 14,000 ninjas are still beyond what our Sunagakure Village can currently contend with.
Fortunately, our enemies have given us an opportunity by choosing to split their forces.
If we only deal with one front, it is still not a problem."
This made Mikawa seem to understand something and say.
"I see, Kazekage-sama, your decapitation operation refers to gathering all the forces of our Sunagakure Village to first take down one of these four heads, so that Iwagakure and Kumogakure will be wary?"
Rasa nodded in appreciation.
"Mikawa, you are right, but you are only half right!"
"Half right!?"
Except for Maki, who already knew Rasa's plan, everyone present was a little surprised, and then they heard words that made them unbelievable.
"It is correct to cut off one of their heads, but it is not by gathering all the forces of our Sunagakure Village, but only the three of us, me, you, and Pakura!!!"
"!!!"
Everyone present's pupils shrank, and Karura, as his wife, immediately showed incomparable tension on her face.
Ebizo couldn't help but say.
"This won't do, it's too dangerous, Kazekage, as the village's Kage, you must not put yourself in such danger alone!"
Rasa certainly understood that as a commander, he should not put himself in a dangerous situation, but now he had such confidence.
"Don't worry, Elder Ebizo, of course, I have such confidence before making such a decision."
After speaking, he looked at Mikawa and Pakura, who had surprised looks on their faces, and said.
"What about you two? Even Namikaze Minato of Konoha could take on a hundred enemies alone.
Now that you have mastered Sage Art energy, don't you even have this confidence?"
Pakura really couldn't stand the provocation.
"Tch, who would be afraid? Since Kazekage-sama, you want to go crazy, then I'll go crazy with you."
Mikawa was relatively calm, but after thinking about it, he still made a decision.
"I understand, since Kazekage-sama, you have this confidence, as a member of the village, I naturally won't back down."
Seeing that the three representing the village's highest combat power had decided on such a risky plan.
Everyone present was a little hesitant, but in the end, Chiyo asked.
"Then, Kazekage-sama, which hand have you decided to cut off first?"
Rasa looked at the map, his eyes locked on the direction of the Land of Birds, and said.
"Since it is a decapitation, we naturally have to cut off the head that makes them feel the most pain.
Then, there is nothing more influential on this battlefield than these two jinchuriki."
Everyone immediately understood that Rasa had chosen the 6,000 Iwagakure ninjas led by the two jinchuriki of Iwagakure.
"To make our decapitation plan more successful, the village also needs to cooperate next.
The two elders, you and Grandpa Bunpuku, will lead the ninjas in the village to meet the A-B brothers of Kumogakure..."
