"Tsunade-sama, the support from the village is about to leave. These are some supplies we need here. Do you think we need the village to bring them with us?"
A few days later, in the border camp of the Land of Fire, a jonin from the Nara clan held two scrolls and said to Tsunade. Tsunade nodded and said, "Let me take a look."
Tsunade took the scroll. The first one was information about the application for ninja tools. She glanced at it briefly and found that it overlapped with the list sent by the village, so there was no need to report it.
So Tsunade opened another scroll, and this list was a little... messy. In addition to some niche ninja tools, there were also various strange medicines, such as those to treat hemorrhoids.
However, Tsunade could understand all these, but when she scanned the list and found "Ryuukakusan", her brows instantly furrowed. This medicine sounds very high-end, but in fact...
But it's just a medicine for coughing, resolving phlegm and moisturizing the throat. No, calling it a medicine is too flattering, it's better to call it a throat lozenge.
Tsunade pointed at Ryukakusan, looked at the Nara jounin, and said, "Nara Satoru, who submitted this?! Are you kidding about the battlefield?!"
Hearing Tsunade's angry words, Nara Satoru opened and closed his mouth several times before hesitantly said: "Tsunade-sama... this... this was applied for by Tatsuma Sakamoto."
"Forehead..."
Tsunade's anger suddenly stopped. After all, Tatsuma is also her disciple. She, as a teacher, is naturally responsible for his disciple doing such ridiculous things.
After a pause, Tsunade asked again: "He...why did he apply for this medicine? Is it a recurrence of the old neck injury?"
Tsunade racked her brains and only came up with such a lame excuse for Tatsuma. After all, Tatsuma had indeed injured his neck a few days ago. If the old injury has not healed, prescribing the wrong medicine for himself would be... .I can understand it!
The expression on Nara Satoru's face became increasingly weird, but he still had to say: "I heard... I heard that he talked too much these days and wasted his voice."
"boom!"
Tsunade punched the desk directly, and the desk instantly shattered into pieces. She said with a sullen face, "What do you mean by talking too much?! Is he on the battlefield or on the stage?!"
"I don't know much about this, but... I heard from the people who came back to recover from their injuries that Tatsuma earned a nickname from the Suna Ninja, called... called..."
"What's it called?"
Tsunade's face became more and more gloomy. Nara Satoru took a deep breath and said as if he was about to die: "Tobirama."
"boom!"
Hearing this nickname, Tsunade was so angry that she stamped her feet and the ground cracked. She gritted her teeth and roared: "Tatsuma, that bastard, and those damn bastards from Sunagakure Village!"
This title somewhat insulted the reputation of her second grandfather, and she could probably guess why Suna Ninja called Tatsuma by this nickname.
Because in Konoha, more than one person has said that Tatsuma resembles Tobirama, including Tsunade's grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, Senju Tobirama's sister-in-law, who also said that Tatsuma is similar to Tobirama.
After all, both of them have white hair and red eyes, and are extremely talented. Their expertise in ninja skills is far beyond that of their peers. Apart from Tatsuma being a Jiraima and being more friendly and smiling, the two are really similar. .
Because of this, Tsunade felt that her grandmother's love for Tatsuma might have a reason, or that it was not just Uzumaki Mito, but the older generation of Senju, although they did not meet Tatsuma often, they obviously all Very fond of it.
Including Tsunade herself, she sometimes wonders if her second grandfather hid it from the whole family and made mistakes when he was young. But she never expected that Sunagakure Village would actually use this to tease her second grandfather.
"Tell Orochimaru that a large force of support will arrive in three days. It's time to close the net! Damn Sunagakure Village, I must make them pay the price! And Tatsuma, see how I deal with him when he comes back!
Also, on this list, except for Chenma’s needs, everything else is submitted so that they can be delivered as soon as possible! "
"Yes, Tsunade-sama."
Nara Satoru breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Tsunade had finally maintained her sanity, and left quickly after accepting the order.
"Oh!"
On the front line, Tatsuma, who was retreating again, sneezed. He rubbed his nose and couldn't help but look up at the sky.
It's obviously been getting warmer these days, so why is he sneezing? Could it be that the Suna ninja he defeated today was cursing him?
In the past few days, Tatsuma had fought against different Suna ninjas almost every day, and his signature compliments had become a trick that made countless Sunagakure Village ninjas "disgusted".
Because Tatsuma is too young, it would be too shameful for a junior to praise them and then defeat them.
In fact, calling Tatsuma Lobby Tobirama is not purely derogatory, but many Suna ninjas feel that Tatsuma's talent is too high. Ninja tool throwing, taijutsu fighting, and familiarity with ninjutsu all surpass them. grown ups.
In particular, this kid is not afraid of getting hurt. On the contrary, he gets even more excited when he gets hurt. As long as he doesn't face the jounin, this kid can do whatever he wants. But where are there so many jonins in Sunagakure Village?
And even if Tatsuma's team encounters a Suna ninja team with a jounin, the jounin of Sunagakure Village will not go out of his way to embarrass him. First, Tatsuma also has Inuzuka Shin, the captain of the jounin team.
Secondly...it's too low of a status. In the past few days, Tatsuma's identity has also been found out by Sunagakure Village. He is Konoha's genius genin and Tsunade's disciple.
As a disciple of Tsunade, the Sunagakure jounin should pay more attention to Taitou, but...he is a genin. As long as he is a chuunin, the Sunagakure jounin who meets him will not care about his face.
It is estimated that the only Sunagakure Jonin who can take off his burden and take action against Tatsuma is Shaxing. Unfortunately, Shaxing has not met Tatsuma's team in the past few days.
Konoha's current team is very divided, like a team that was beaten and retreated, and fled in a hurry.
Just like Tatsuma's team, which now only has nine people and one dog left, it is easily besieged by the Sand Ninja team. However, with a perceptive Jonin like Inuzuka Shin, their team can always turn danger into disaster. .
And Konoha's team also retreated again and again. After today, it is estimated that they will completely withdraw from the Kawa Country. This made the Suna Ninja more and more excited and began to pursue recklessly.
Tatsuma had just escaped from the pursuit of the Sand Ninjas and stopped by the river. Tatsuma took out the test paper developed by Tsunade. This is a small tool developed by Tsunade to test whether the water is poisonous.
Although the range of poisons that can be tested is limited, and some rare or newly developed poisons cannot be tested, Sunagakure Village cannot have the luxury of putting that kind of poison in flowing water like rivers, so test strips can also come in handy.
After checking the river water, Tatsuma turned back and nodded to the others. Inuzuka Ma asked his ninja dog to patrol, and he also sat down and began to rest.
The others began to get water to drink, while Tatsuma was helping his teammates who were injured while escaping from the battle to heal. At this moment, the communication equipment in the backpack of the ninja in the team began to light up.
He quickly found a place and started to answer the communication. After a while, he returned to the team, looked at Inuzuka Makoto, and then looked at Tatsuma who was healing him. After Inuzuka Makoto nodded, the mountain ninja Then he said:
"Captain True, Lord Orochimaru asked us not to retreat blindly in the past few days. If we encounter a Suna ninja team, consider the strength of both sides. If we think we can win, we will win with all our strength.
Our team's defense line can no longer retreat. We don't need to push back the defense line, but we can't retreat anymore. "
"Okay, Naoto, you also talk to the others and let them prepare."
Inuzuka nodded. After Naoto Yamanaka left, he whispered to Tatsuma: "Tatsuma, you should understand what it means, right?"
"As the wings, we will almost outflank the enemy. It depends on how deep the Sand Ninja team can sink."
Tatsuma answered almost without thinking. As the only two people in the team who knew Orochimaru's plan, the two communicated much more frequently than others.
Inuzukazhen nodded and said: "Once Sunagakure Village is found to be surrounded, we, as the ones behind us, will definitely suffer the most violent attack.
Moreover, there is a high possibility of encountering a support team sent by Sunagakure Village. If you are not careful, you will be in a situation where you are attacked from both sides. Do you want to stay? "
Konoha's use of encirclement and support teams to form a pincer attack from the front and back can indeed kill the Suna Ninja in the encirclement like an encirclement, but the Suna Ninja are not lambs to be slaughtered and will definitely break out of the encirclement.
As long as they were not stupid, they would not have chosen to break out into the depths of the Fire Country, but would have broken out toward Sunagakure Village. In this way, the team behind them would have to bear greater pressure.
Moreover, Konoha knows how to send out a support team, but Sunagakure Village cannot let the Suna Ninja, who are less than two thousand, fight alone. Do they think that these Suna Ninjas can wipe out the Fire Country?
Therefore, Sunagakure Village will definitely send a support team to consolidate the results they have achieved in the past few days, and then strive to go further.
Once the Suna ninja's breakout team and the support team move at the same time, the Konoha ninja behind them will reverse their offensive and defensive positions and become the team being flanked.
Now it depends on whether Konoha can move fast enough and complete the mission of killing the Sand Ninja before the support from Sunagakure Village arrives.
On this point, Tatsuma still has more confidence in Konoha. After all, Konoha has become the active party since the official declaration of war. Whether it is declaring war or formulating tactics, Konoha is the party that takes the initiative to change.
The battle between the Ninja Army is not a mission for the Ninja Team. There are too many things that need to be prepared. Unless the Sunagakure Village predicts Konoha's actions, they will definitely be slower.
In addition, the Sand Ninja team was deep into the Kingdom of Kawa at this time and was about to enter the Kingdom of Fire. Geographically, the Konoha support team had a shorter journey and could reach the battlefield faster.
Unfortunately, the information Tatsuma has available only allows him to speculate so far. He does not yet have access to more information, otherwise he is confident that he will be able to see more clearly.
But that was enough. He smiled and said, "True captain, I'm not here to gain merit."
Hearing this, Inuzuka Shinya smiled and nodded, and said: "Well done, but in the next battle, you have to be more careful. Never underestimate any ninja, even if he has been defeated or even killed by you, I understand. ?"
Tatsuma nodded seriously. In fact, the past few days have not gone well. If it weren't for the special physique brought by Shiroyasha and the clinical medical ninjutsu he learned from Tsunade, he would have been ready to go to the commemorative monument. .
Although he learned ninjutsu faster than ordinary people through a different learning method, and he also had the gift of perception and the ability to throw ninja tools far beyond the level of others, he was still a chuunin after all.
Even among Chuunin, his level is very good, but in the melee, there is no way to easily defeat enemies who are on the same level as himself, or even stronger than him in some aspects.
It can be said that many of his victories came from taking risks, but the rewards from taking risks are also very amazing. Because of the [fighting as training] effect brought by Shiro Yaksha, the talents Tatsuma realizes every day are all from previous training. Two or three times.
The increase in the upper limit of talents is not low. Although it is not as easy as gambling with Tsunade, the talents that can be improved every day are almost the same.
Tatsuma also knows that real battle and real defeat are the most correct way to use this system, but he is glad that he worked hard for three years first.
If he waited until he graduated as a genin, then promoted to chuunin in a step-by-step manner, and then went to the battlefield, he would probably be killed before he could gain anything.
“Sususu~”
Just when Tatsuma was distracted, Inuzuka Shinobu suddenly ran back, and for a moment, everyone in the team became alert.
"Ready to fight!"
Inuzuka shouted loudly, and then he also took out his kunai and entered the battle preparation state. Tatsuma also pulled out his chakra short sword and looked warily at the place where he sensed chakra coming from.
