Chapter 410: Response and weirdness!
In a temporary tent.

"Now, the Cloud Ninja has defeated the border guards and entered the Fire Country!"

"The enemy divided their troops into three groups and eliminated a large number of our reconnaissance teams..."

...

Nara Shikaku stood in front of the map and introduced the situation to Danzo, Team 404, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Akimichi Choza, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Aburame Shimi in the tent.

The least who can participate in the meeting is an elite jonin (Hinata Cangyue: meow meow?)

Everyone's expression was solemn, because they also knew how dire the situation they faced after the Cloud Ninjas defeated the border army.

From being evenly matched before, they now were fighting alone.

It's not even surprising that they might have become someone else's 'prey'.

"How did the other side defeat the border army?"

Yamama Koji suddenly spoke up, hitting the nail on the head.

Yes, that's the key.

The border troops are not pigs, how could they not be on guard?

Facing the Cloud Ninja army led by the Raikage, they would definitely be on high alert. They couldn't say they could really stop the enemy, but at least relying on the geographical advantage, they could hold out for a few days without any signs of collapse. How could this not arouse suspicion?

"According to intelligence, they were caught off guard by a surprise attack by the Cloud Ninja Army..."

Nara Shikaku explained the details with a dark face.

has a problem!
After hearing this, this thought flashed through everyone in the tent.

Because it is impossible for the border army to not even leave outposts and reconnaissance teams, and unless these people are blind, they can't fail to detect an army of thousands of people, right?

What I fear the most is that the air will suddenly become quiet!
Perhaps sensing this atmosphere, Nara Shikaku continued:

"But it also has something to do with the fact that there is no one strong enough to rival the Raikage in the border army!"

As he spoke, his eyes subconsciously looked at Dohei and Yamama Koji, and the same was true for the others.

Danzo opened his mouth slightly, about to say something, but then fell silent.

He was confident that he could stop the Raikage, but he couldn't say it.

Once the Hashirama cells in your body are exposed, you will be "socially dead".

By then, not to mention becoming a higher-ranked Hokage, even his ability to continue to hold the position in the Root would be in jeopardy.

Senju Hashirama!

The influence of this name in the ninja world is unprecedented.

Just looking at his undisputed title of "God of Ninja", you can tell how great his influence is. He also personally established the one country, one village system and ended the Warring States period of the ninja world.

The Hokage system has an unshakable position in Konoha, which is inseparable from this name.

Once the fact that Danzo used the other party's corpse for experiments is exposed, it would be tantamount to betraying his identity as a Hokage, and the consequences can be imagined.

No wonder he dared not say that his strength had clearly returned to its peak, or even reached a higher level. It was simply because he did not dare.

Under the premise that Danzo does not dare to stand up, the only two Kage-level strongmen in their ninja army (Hinata Sogetsu is disguised as an invisible person) are Dohei and Yamama Koji, so it is not surprising that they pay attention to them.

"Don't worry, if I can defeat the Raikage once, I can defeat him a second time too!"

Dou Ping spoke in a domineering manner.

Although the advantage brought by the 'First Sight Kill' was a big reason last time, his strength now is completely different from before.

Even without the bloodline limit of Lava Release, he is still firmly at the pinnacle of the Kage level.

Not afraid at all!

After hearing his domineering words, the other people in the tent not only did not feel dissatisfied, but felt much more at ease.

Having such a reliable and strong person around can indeed bring a great sense of security.

If Dohei and Yamama Koji were not there, they would have to worry about how to deal with it once the Raikage arrived.

Although the Pig, Deer and Butterfly Formation can be comparable to a Kage-level powerhouse, "comparable" does not mean that if any accident happens, they may be taken away in one wave.

"Next, we must find out the information about the Cloud Ninja, and for this we will need Elder Danzo's Root to take action!"

Nara Shikaku assigned the task to Danzo without hesitation.

He had no intention of taking the opportunity to suppress the other party and strive for command, but just because this arrangement was the most suitable.

The Root Department itself is a covert operations department with rich experience in assassinations and intelligence gathering, so it is definitely the right person to be in charge of intelligence.

"The roots will go all out!"

Danzo naturally couldn't refuse such a legitimate request, and he wouldn't play any tricks on it.

We are all not a good person. If you, Danzo, dare to play tricks on the intelligence, then don't blame us for playing tricks on you later. So the Root will not cause any trouble in this regard.

As for Dou Ping, he looked as if it was none of his business. Apart from stating that he would deal with the Raikage, he had no intention of speaking at all.

"Ugh!"

When Nara Shikaku saw this scene, he had no choice but to sigh in his heart.

Because he naturally knew why the other party behaved like this.

The village's ill will towards the Uchiha affected the other side from the very beginning.

Then there were all kinds of suppression and exclusion, even the power of the opponent's Southwestern Ninja Army's commander was snatched away, leaving nothing for the opponent except a name, which forced the emergence of a "castle tower".

It was good enough that they were willing to obey the village's orders. Why would they need a bicycle? The meeting ended quickly.

In general, their army will "calm the situation with peace of mind", stay stationed where they are, and then collect intelligence from the roots to decide on subsequent actions.

It sounds extremely passive.

But at times like this, it all comes down to who makes fewer mistakes.

It has to be said that the Nara clan was able to 'monopolize' the position of Konoha's military strategist because they were smart, not because of any connections.

Anyway, if it's Tang Ping, he won't be able to think of a good solution if he has the same cards as him.

It’s just… I don’t know why, but Dou Ping always feels that there’s something wrong with the rhythm of the Cloud Ninja this time.

"Zhiwei, don't stay too far away from us next time!"

Before going back to rest, Dohei whispered something to Aburame Shiwei.

Although the other person is much older than him, it is natural for him to call him that.

In the ninja world, strength is respected.

Just like he used to call the Sannin 'sir', but now he just calls them 'senior' at most, this is a change completely brought about by strength and status.

"Yes, Lord Tang Ping!"

Aburame Shizue nodded slightly.

Although he didn't understand why Tang Ping gave such instructions, as a qualified subordinate, he naturally would not question it.

Well, now the Aburame clan has become the shape of Douhei.

Even among the Konoha army, they are considered to be of the 'Central Guard' type.

And this is not a strange thing.

Just like Konoha is divided into the 'Hokage faction', the 'conservative faction', the 'fighting faction'... and so on, there shouldn't be too many factions within the house.

Of course, they are all 'Konoha faction'.

There is no faction within the faction, all kinds of weird things!
Now that there is one more Tenshu faction, no one thinks it is wrong.

As for Hongdou and Yuhikuren, they kept a subtle distance from them.

It means maintaining a distance so that people don't think they are too close, but at the same time being able to get their help at any time.

Obviously, no one is stupid.

A few hours later at night.

Zira!

The fat from the golden roasted meat dripped onto the fire below, emitting a fragrant meaty smell.

Yes, Tang Ping is grilling.

However, there were only three people from their 404th team, and even Aburame Shiwei and others did not come.

If it were an ordinary ninja, it would definitely be dangerous to do this in the wild.

But if it were them, the only ones in danger would be those who dared to get close.

"untie!"

Tang Ping directly made a seal and took out the things in the sealed scroll.

seasoning!

All kinds of spices filled the ground.

Mastering the incredible ability of sealing will be meaningless if it doesn't bring convenience to yourself.

Tang Ping will never be an ascetic or a masochist.

We didn’t have the conditions before, but now we have them, so of course we should enjoy it the best we can.

His dream is to lie down, not to suffer.

I suffered so much before traveling through time, and I have to suffer more after traveling through time. So, isn't this traveling through time in vain?

Therefore, he has never concealed his "ambition" to lie down and start a harem.

suddenly.

Tang Ping paused for a moment, then returned to normal.

The reason why he did this was naturally because he received a reminder from Hinata Cangyue.

It would be fine if it was in the village.

But in the wild, and after knowing that the Cloud Ninjas have already entered the Land of Fire, how could they not take extra precautions?

Every once in a while, Hinata Cangyue would use the Samsara Eye to scan the surroundings.

She would do this even if there were people from the Hyuga branch in the team.

The result is that there was a real discovery.

"It looks like tonight won't be boring!"

Tang Ping said this while sprinkling the seasoning.
