Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 452 Situation
At five o'clock in the evening, the Chinese army's big tent.

All the people who received the notification from Nonoyu came here one after another to prepare for the meeting. There were about 20 people.

Among these people, one-third is the direct lineage that Lei Luo brought over from Konoha, and two-thirds are the middle and high-level managers in the Ninja Army.

The place of discussion is in a big tent. Although its area can be tens of square meters, if there are so many people sharing a room, it will be somewhat crowded.

Therefore, the long wooden table that was originally placed in the center of the room, the sand table placed on it, and the sundries hidden in the corners have all been removed by Lei Luo.

There was only one burning brazier standing there, and the slowly blooming flames could be regarded as lighting tentatively.

After such a lot of tossing, the indoor area is much more spacious, at least, it looks much cleaner and neater than before, and it no longer looks so sloppy.

In the direction facing the door, Lei Luo leaned on the bench with a leisurely expression, and sat on the main seat with his legs crossed, while his current subordinates were sitting on the left and right sides.

Enjoying the feeling of being in power, Lei Luo touched his chin subconsciously, and then glanced to the sides pretending to be inadvertent.

However, most of the people looked solemn and sat upright, only a small number of people - such as Younv Zhihei and other confidantes, looked relatively relaxed.

Feeling that the atmosphere is almost over, Lei Luo coughed and said to everyone: "Everyone, some of you may not know me, here, let me introduce myself first."

"My name is Lei Luo, and my code name is Jueying. I am now the Konoha--the commander of the Sand Hidden Front. Of course, you can also call me the captain."

"The reason why I appeared here to replace Hatake Sakumo to take over the war between the village and the sand hidden space is only one purpose, and that is to regain the current disadvantage."

After finishing these scenes, Lei Luo slowed down for a while, and at the same time observed everyone's reactions calmly.

See the ones below—the ninjas in the Ninja Army system, their expressions basically didn't change much, obviously they knew Lei Luo's details a long time ago, and they also knew about the "changing generals" related matters this time.

Therefore, Lei Luo quickly skipped this topic, and continued with the previous words: "In my opinion, to defeat Sand Yin, careful planning and proper deployment are required..."

"For this reason, I think I need to understand the current situation as much as possible, and you..."

Turning his head and looking at the dozen or so ninjas sitting neatly in a row on the right, Lei Luo looked at them for a moment, then asked:

"Who is the head of the intelligence service?"

Hearing Lei Luo's question, one of the dozen or so ninjas immediately stood up, first bowed to Lei Luo, and then replied loudly, "Lord Lei Luo, I am."

This is a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with a thin body, wearing a jōnin vest, with a face with Chinese characters, and his appearance is very stable.

Lei Luo nodded and asked, "What's your name?"

"Kaji Nara."

"The Nara clan..."

With a slight smile, Lei Luo put down Erlang's raised legs, raised his hand, and said to Nara Shikaji:

"Tell me about the current situation...including the number of ninjas in Konoha, the number of ninjas in Sand Hidden, and the process and results of the previous battles."

Hearing this, Kaji Nara nodded solemnly, and immediately began to talk:
"Our Konoha currently has a total of 4563 ninjas, including 58 upper ninjas, 102 special upper ninjas, 732 middle ninjas, and 3671 lower ninjas."

"In addition, Mr. Lei Luo, the batch of ninjas you brought over have not been counted yet, and have not been counted in the above number."

After finishing speaking, he noticed that Lei Luo was frowning and thinking, Nara Shikaji looked at the other party with a questioning look, and after receiving Lei Luo's "continue" gesture, he continued:
"As for Sand Hidden, we don't know the exact number of ninjas. We can only make a rough estimate: around 3000."

"In addition, the enemy's superior ninja-level combat power and zhongnin-level combat power are much more than ours, and the quality is also higher than ours."

Lei Luo nodded thoughtfully, and subconsciously asked:
"Puppet master troops?"

"Exactly." Nara Shikaji nodded with a serious face, and his voice became a little low: "The puppet master's troop generally has about 500 people, and it is the core force of Sand Yin."

"Those insidious and cunning puppet masters, those lifeless puppets, and those sharp blades stained with venom have made our Konoha ninjas suffer..."

"Among the puppet master troops, the lowest strength should be the Chunin level. They have rich combat experience, and the various techniques of using puppets are hard to guard against."

"The leader of the puppet master army is a woman named Chiyo, who can control ten at the same time—she calls them the puppets of the ten people in Chimatsu."

"According to reliable sources, these ten people from Chimatsu are exquisite puppets made by the first puppet master Monzaemon."

"It's so powerful that it can even use some kind of ninjutsu. It moves so fast and its material is so hard that even Mr. Sakumo can't smash those ten puppets in a short time."

"At the same time, Sakumo-sama has been unable to deal with Chiyo and her puppets because of Sandai Kazekage's presence, which also caused a lot of casualties to Konoha."

The more he talked, the more Nara Shikaji felt uncomfortable. After all, it was their Konoha Ninja Army who was hanged and beaten by Sa Yin, and he himself was naturally among them.

Collectively humiliated, as the person in charge of an important department, can Nara Kaji not feel aggrieved?

For the same reason, following Nara Shikaji's narration, the ninjas who were sitting beside him, who also belonged to the Shinobi side's ninja army, all looked a little ugly, obviously feeling very uncomfortable.

Sensing the change in the atmosphere in the arena, Lei Luo raised his brows and couldn't help recalling the scene when he fought the puppet master last time.

Then, he wondered:
"Monzaemon...I remember that I seemed to have fought with that old guy. Why, didn't he participate in this war?"

The question that came from his ear made Nara Shikaji quickly come back to his senses. He raised his head and looked at Lei Luo in surprise:
"Master Leiluo... have you ever fought against Monzaemon?"

"That should have happened two years ago..." Subconsciously replied, but before he finished speaking, Lei Luo looked at Nara Kaji strangely, this time it was his turn to be surprised:

"Why, you don't know?"

Seeing Lei Luo's calm demeanor at the moment, obviously not pretending, Nara Shikaji quickly searched the memory in his mind instinctively, and after a few seconds, he realized the news he had just heard:
The Kanogaoka incident, the meeting with Ugakushi Sagakure, Monzaemon and Boryu, and...Keekage Konoha, who fought against everyone with his own strength and almost won it all.

Thinking of Lei Luo's performance in that incident, and the changes in the positions of various forces in the ninja world afterwards, Nara Kaji's whole body trembled instinctively, and then he suddenly realized that he was sitting peacefully on the main seat at this moment... What kind of lunatic and... monster.
