Chapter 111: Hokage and Raikage

Four days later.

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

Originally, Yeruashi had expected Tsunade to come here as a front commander, with each of the three fronts commanded by the three Sannin, but unexpectedly, Hiruzen was here in person.

"Tsunade, Yeruashi, you are here."

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.

There were other ninja sitting in the tent, mostly Elite Jounins, also among them can be seen the current head of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku.

The current situation forced the clans of Konoha to make a move, usually they would try to maintain their fighting power, but now they are forced to participate in the war, because once Konoha is defeated, the clans will not escape death either.

Tsunade was seated to the right of Hiruzen and Yeruashi to the right of Tsunade.

The seating order at the conference table generally represents the status and position of the ninja in Konoha, Yeruashi is an Elite Jounin and has the status of "Hero of Konoha", so the Elite Jounins and clan chiefs present did not object to the place he occupied.

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

"According to known information, the Third Raikage personally leads the forces of Kumogakure, he must also be very careful with A, and Killer B, this is an extremely dangerous duo consisting of A, the Raikage's son, and Killer B, his sworn brother.... "

Hiruzen took it very seriously to express all the information he had obtained about the ninja of Kumogakure.

After hearing this information, Yeruashi thought for a moment and generally understood the reason why Hiruzen would personally rush to the border of the Lightning Country.

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

It is necessary to prolong the war.

The longer it lasts, the greater the advantage Konoha will gain. josei

If the Third Raikage realizes that Konoha does not have enough combat power and can easily win by launching a large-scale offensive, he will most likely do so without hesitation, leaving aside the problem that Konoha is being decimated by other Great Ninja Villages.

So Hiruzen decided to personally arrive at the border of the Lightning Country to put additional pressure on Kumogakure, dissuading Kumogakure from launching a large-scale offensive, and the presence of only Yeruashi and Tsunade would not be enough for this.

"Orochimaru and Danzo will withstand Iwagakure's attack, given their strength and experience, they should be worthy opponents for the Third Tsuchikage.... Ōnoki will not easily throw his Jinchuriki into battle, and even if he does, there's Might Duy."

"The Seven Swordsmen of the Mist are on Kirigakure's side, the strongest of them are even capable of becoming full members of Akatsuki, no doubt, it would take Kage-level strength, and the weakest of them are at least at the level of an Elite Jounin, but there's Minato on Konoha's side, so there's nothing to worry about."

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

Yeruashi pondered, assessing the situation.

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

If Bijuu's power is fully unleashed, he will be stronger than the future Fourth Raikage, who has not yet reached the top, and not much weaker than the Third Raikage.

In addition.

Kumogakure has the two-tailed Jinchuriki, as well as Killer B, who is able to perfectly control the power of Bijuu, the two have a partnership with their Bijuu 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 and Killer B will face off with him.

It will be quite difficult.

I'll have to open the fifth gate as soon as possible.

As long as the fifth gate was open, even the Third Raikage's shield would not be able to resist his strongest attack, and Killer B, who had released the eight-tailed beast, would not be able to resist either!

While practicing medical ninjutsu and increasing chakra control, Yeruashi never forgot about the practice of Hachimon Tonko, but there was still some time left before the fifth gate opened.

According to his rough estimate.

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

As Yeruashi pondered this, Hiruzen gave instructions, "In short, it is impossible to allow a major battle with Kumogakure to begin, if possible, avoid crossing dangerous enemy small units...the first stage of the war is to obtain information."

"Without obtaining enough information, Kumogakure will not be able to launch a large scale attack, our task is to delay the war by any means."

Hiruzen's voice was heavy.

He was well aware of how difficult the situation was, once Kumogakure will launch a large scale attack, even if Tsunade, Yeruashi and he are present, it will be very difficult to stop the enemy's attack.

And if he succeeds, Konoha's losses will be very large, which will indirectly affect the other two fronts, at which point their situation may become even more difficult.

A few moments later.

After giving all the instructions, Hiruzen waved his hand, giving a signal that it is possible to leave, and asked Yeruashi to stay.

Seeing this, Tsunade thought for a moment and stayed in the tent, she wouldn't have minded if someone else had stayed, but she couldn't stay quiet when Hiruzen was about to talk to Yeruashi alone.

She was well aware of Yeruashi's condition.

Although he is extremely powerful, he relies on a forbidden technique that cannot be used recklessly.

Seeing this, Hiruzen smiled helplessly, but did not say anything to Tsunade, but looked at Yeruashi and congratulated him on his merits in the previous battles.

The current Yeruashi felt no 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 Tsunade was there, Hiruzen no longer dared to test Yeruashi, now the most important thing is a clash with Kumogakure, this is not the right time to delve into such matters, it is enough to make sure that Yeruashi does not oppose Konoha.

Even if there is a possibility that Yeruashi holds a grudge against Konoha's superiors due to Sakumo's death, that would have to be put aside for now.

After all, at this difficult time, even the major clans have put aside all their conflicts.
