Chapter 90 (1/2)
Contact Erase and Tsunade was just an insignificant episode in the background of the war, details about it are known only to Shizune.
The destruction of Suna's surprise attack group could not stop the war, it only brought the moment of a full-scale clash closer.
After Yeruashi treated Tsunade for several days, Jiraiya finally completed the preparation of a full-scale offensive plan.
...
In three days.
In the central tent of the Konoha camp.
Looking at the map dotted with various small flags, Jiraiya slapped his hand firmly on the edge of the table and raised his head to look at the elite Jounins present.
”Tomorrow we will launch a full-scale offensive!”
”Let's move on to the battle plan!”
”Shikaku and Inoichi...you lead the first and second squad, go around the southern hills and launch an attack from the flank!”
After hearing Jiraiya's instructions, Shikaku and Inoichi nodded calmly.
After that, Sannin looked at Minato standing on his right: ”Minato, you lead the fifth and sixth squad, go around from the north and also conduct an attack from the flank!”
”There is.”
The decisive battle would be extremely intense, but as an excellent shinobi with absolute confidence in his abilities, he could remain completely calm even on the eve of such a battle.
”Third and fourth squad, follow me to attack from the front!”
Jiraiya continued to give out instructions: ”... medical squads follow the main force, keep a certain distance and be ready to provide assistance at any moment!”
”There is.”
The Jounin in charge of the medical teams nodded.
After the main forces were distributed, Jiraiya looked at Yeruashi who was standing nearby, ” Yeruashi, you are following my forces.”
”Got it.”
Erase nodded.
Yeruashi is now a Tokubetsu Jounin reporting directly to Jiraiya, so he was even summoned to a Jounin meeting held on the eve of the battle.
Almost everyone present was among the leaders of the front-line camp and had heard of Yeruashi's battles in the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain, but had some doubts about it.
In the end of Erase too young, with the battle in the Country of Grass all right in the end on the side of Konoha was attended by a powerful shinobi, able to contain the power of the Willow, but with the battle in the land of Rain everything is different.
Single-handedly destroy hundreds of elite shinbi?!
Utter nonsense!
Many of those present believe that this is a hidden plan, perhaps Konoha sent Yeruashi to the Rain Country to perform a joint operation with Ame, and to hide it, simply stated that the guy did everything alone.
Or Yeruashi acted together with the Anbu, which is also very likely, because the actions of the Anbu are almost never made public.
”A disciple of Lord Orochimaru...”
Someone looked at Erase and whispered.
All present in one way or another are in touch with the internal affairs of Konoha and understand that the change of Hokage is not far off, as for who exactly will become the successor of Hiruzen, it is still difficult to say, but Orochimaru is definitely one of the candidates.
So looking at Yeruashi's exploits in the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain from this point of view, one can even assume that this is part of Orochimaru's plan to become the Fourth Hokage.
