章 111: Chapter 111

Four days later.

Erase and Tsunade arrived at the border of the Country of Lightning.

Originally, Yeruashi had expected Tsunade to come here as a front commander, then three fronts would be commanded by three Sannin, but unexpectedly, Hiruzen was here in person.

"Tsunade, Erase you profit."

In the central tent of the camp, Hiruzen was sitting in his battle uniform, and when he saw Tsunade and Yeruashi enter, he nodded and invited them to sit down.

In the tent there are other Shinobi, mostly Elite Junin, also among them you can see the current head of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku.

The current situation forced the Konoha Clans to make a move, usually they try to maintain their combat power, but now they are forced to participate in the war, because once Konoha fails, the clans will also not escape death.

Tsunade was sitting to the right of Hiruzen and Erase to the right of Tsunade.

The order of seats at the conference table usually represents the status and position of the shinobi in Konoha, Yeruashi is a Chokuzoku Jounin and has the status of "Hero of Konoha", so that the Elite Jounins and Clan heads present did not object to the place he occupied.

But all of them involuntarily looked at Yeruashi with undisguised interest, after all, he is now less than eleven years old, becoming a famous and powerful shinobi at such a young age is extremely rare in the history of the shinobi world.

"According to the known information, the Third Raikage personally leads the Kumogakure forces, also need to be extremely careful about A. B. Conby, this is an extremely dangerous duo consisting of Eya, the son of Raikage, and Bi, his sworn brother..."

Hiruzen was extremely serious about voicing all known information about the enemy.

At the same time Erase thought, starting to understand why Hiruzen decided to go on this front.

Compared to the treacherous and calculating Third Tsuchikage, it is the aggressive and straightforward Kumo that poses the greatest danger to Konoha in this war, because they can launch a full-scale offensive at any moment without hesitation.

It is necessary to prolong the war.

The longer it lasts, the greater the advantage Konoha will get.

If the Third Raikage realizes that Konoha does not have enough combat power and can easily win by launching a full-scale offensive, he will most likely do so without hesitation, putting aside the issue of Konoha being depleted by other Great Villages.

So Hiruzen decided to go here personally to put additional pressure on Kumo, not allowing them to easily decide on a full-scale offensive, the presence of only Yeruashi and Tsunade would not be enough for this.

"Orochimaru and Danzo will resist Willow's attack, given their strength and experience, they should be worthy opponents for Tsuchikage...Oonoki won't easily throw Jinchuriki into battle, even if it does, there's Maito Dai there."

"There are Seven Mist Swordsmen on Kiri's side, the strongest of them are even able to become full members of Akatsuki, without a doubt, you need to have strength at the level of Kage, and the weakest of them are at least at the level of an Elite Junin, but there is Minato on Konoha's side, so there is nothing to worry about."

"That leaves Kumo, the strongest opponent..."

Erase thought, assessing the situation.

Just take a look at the strongest shinobi on the other side, the Third Raikage, a monster with a perverted defense that can fight thousands of enemies alone, as well as the future Fourth Raikage and Killer Bi, extremely strong shinobi of the Kage level, especially the second.

If the Biju's power is fully released, it will be stronger than the future Fourth Raikage, which has not yet reached the peak, and not much weaker than the Third Raikage.

Besides.

Kumo has Two-Tailed Jinchuriki, as well as Killer Bee, who is able to perfectly control the power of Biju, the two have a partnership with their Biju and can use their power without any difficulty.

If the other side launches a full-scale offensive, Hiruzen will face the Third Raikage, and Tsunade can fight the Two-Tailed Jinchuriki, in which case A. B. Conby will remain on him.

It will be quite difficult.

We need to open the fifth gate as soon as possible.

As long as the fifth gate was open, even the Third Raikage's shield wouldn't be able to resist his strongest attack, and Killer Bee, who had released all eight tails, wouldn't be able to resist either!

During the practice of Ireninjutsu and increasing chakra control, Yeruashi never forgot about the practice of Hachimon Tonko, but there was still some distance left before the fifth gate opened.

According to his rough estimate.

It will take at least a month of hard practice to open them.

As Yeruashi pondered this, Hiruzen gave instructions: "To sum up, it is impossible to allow a major battle with Kumo to begin, if possible, avoid crossing with small elite enemy units....the first stage of the war is to obtain information."

"Without getting enough information, Kumo will not be able to launch a full-scale attack, our task is to delay this moment by any means."

Hiruzen's voice was heavy.

He is well aware of how difficult the situation is, once Kumo launches a full-scale attack, even if Tsunade, Yeruashi and he are here, it will be very difficult to hold off the enemy's onslaught.

And if it succeeds, Konoha's losses will be very heavy, which will indirectly affect the other two fronts, by which time their situation may become even more difficult.

After a while.

After giving all the instructions Hiruzen waved his hand, giving a sign that it is possible to go, and asked for Erase to stay.

Seeing this, Tsunade thought for a while and stayed in the tent, she wouldn't have cared if anyone else had stayed, but she couldn't stand by when Hiruzen was about to talk to Yeruashi alone.

She understands the student's condition perfectly.

Although it is extremely powerful, but it depends on a forbidden technique that cannot be used recklessly.

Seeing this, Hiruzen smiled helplessly, but didn't say anything to Tsunade, instead looking at Yeruashi and complimenting him on his merits in the previous battles.

The current Yeruashi didn't feel any pressure in front of Hiruzen, besides, Tsunade was here, so he responded to the praise quite calmly, "...I just did what I had to do."

Because there was Tsunade, Hiruzen no longer dared to test Yeruashi, now the most important thing is a clash with Kumo, this is not the right time to delve into such matters, just make sure that the guy is not opposed to Konoha.

Even if there is a possibility that Yeruashi holds a grudge against the top of Konoha because of White Fang's death, Hiruzen is forced to temporarily postpone the matter.

After all, in this difficult time, even the major clans have put aside all the contradictions.
