Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 83 The Flare Gun

Almost immediately, Lei Luo felt eyes from all directions sweeping towards him.

Either scrutinizing, or looking at, or full of expectations, or malicious, or thoughtful... Some of these people met last night, and some have never been in contact.

Lei Luo turned a blind eye to these gazes. Seeing that Mito Menyan opened his eyes and tilted his head slightly, he went straight to the vacant seat on his right and sat down Shi Shiran.

Feeling that the surrounding eyes were still lingering, Lei Luo felt unhappy, and the weird Beijing opera mask on his face turned slightly sideways and swept around, his pair of cold eyes brought out bursts of inexplicable evil spirit.

Seeing this, the rest of the people looked away wisely and pretended to be calm.

The three Orochimaru who followed Lei Luo also walked into the tent alternately and sat down one by one, ranking higher than most of the ninja patriarchs.

Many of the seniors here are stronger than the Sannin at the current stage, but they still can only rank at the bottom. It can be seen that the deterrent power of Hokage's "direct line" cannot be underestimated.

"Since everyone is here, let's talk."

Mitomonen coughed lightly, and got straight to the point without any nonsense: "From the early morning until noon today, Urenin began to shrink the front line on a large scale. Many Urenin even fled as if no one else was there, treating me as nothing."

"According to our investigation, the number of rain ninjas retreating in this wave is about 500. Among them, the rain ninjas voluntarily gave up thirteen strongholds."

"Through searching these strongholds, the confiscated materials are as follows: more than [-] sets of various clothes and quilts, more than [-] detonating charms, more than [-] sophisticated ninja tools, [-] carts of food and medicine, countless shurikens and kunwu .”

"Yu Renin's sudden retreat does not seem to be premeditated. I would like to hear your opinions on this."

After Mitomonyan finished his narration, he raised his eyes to look at the expressions of everyone present: most of them looked surprised, while a few seemed thoughtful, but no one spoke for a while.

Seeing that no one took the initiative to express their opinions, Mitomonyan's eyes slowly swept across the faces, and finally settled on a young man who was near the bottom.

It was a very young ninja with long and narrow cheeks, a short goatee neatly placed on his chin, and a full head of black hair combed into a ponytail behind his head.

Shikahisa Nara is the name of this person.

The ninjas of the Nara clan generally exist as Konoha's think tanks. When it comes to command and dispatch, the current patriarch of the Nara clan is thoughtful and highly skilled, and he is an expert in marching formations.

It's a pity that the current patriarch of the Nara clan is too old to fight again.

So Nara Shikahisa appeared on this occasion as the young patriarch of the Nara clan, and participated in Konoha's war against Urenin instead of his father, even though he is not yet 20 years old.

Mitomonyan has been relying on Nara Shikahisa's mind for a while, and he has high hopes for this young man's resourcefulness.

Shikahisa Nara noticed Mitomonyan's earnest eyes, although he didn't want to say more because of the lack of information now.

But under pressure, he had no choice but to stand up and express his guess.

"On the surface, Yuren's move is nothing more than the tension on other fronts, so it is necessary to call back troops urgently."

Nara Shikahisa's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "But now Umein has teamed up with Sagashi, and the only opponents we face are Iwakakushi and us Konoha."

"The information obtained a few days ago shows that Yanyin has not made any major moves against Yuyin recently, so it is very unreasonable for Urenin to retreat."

"Hanzo is cunning and treacherous, so he shouldn't do such a meaningless move, but the current information is too little to judge his true purpose."

Mito Menyan listened quietly to Nara Shikahisa's analysis, without interrupting halfway, unexpectedly Nara Shikahisa stopped at this point.

Mito Menyan looked at Shikahisa Nara in surprise, and asked his doubts: "Why didn't you say it all of a sudden? What's your guess?"

Nara Shikahisa took a deep breath, his face a bit ugly.

"Thus laying out a maze, luring the enemy to go deep, avoiding the truth and then pretending to be false, pretending to be east and attacking the west... There are too many possibilities. Hanzo is not an ignorant person. I am not sure how to make a move in the next round."

"I'm sorry, Elder Menyan." Nara Shikahisa lowered his head slightly, and his tone seemed a little ashamed.

Nara Shikoku is still too young after all, and his vision and pattern of thinking are far from enough, so it is normal not to be able to judge Hanzo's mind. He may be regarded as a tactical master now, but he is far from a strategist.

Having said that, how many people can figure out the complex and ever-changing international environment?

The battlefield has never been limited to the chessboard.

"It's okay, sit down." Mito Menyan smiled kindly, but he didn't feel disappointed.

In Mitomonyan's view, no matter what the purpose of the Urenin, the losses caused by the sudden retreat are real.

What's more, Konoha's party has obtained so many supplies with almost no loss this morning, and the benefits of this harvest are also real.

Therefore, Mitomonyan didn't panic at all, and the topic quickly entered the next part: "The large-scale retreat of Urenin is a fact, but we can't just let them go so easily."

Everyone's expressions were terrified, knowing that the show was coming.

"Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru!" Mitomonyan's eyes sharpened instantly, and he began to issue orders: "Order the three of you to form an elite team with your subordinates, and pick another 200 ninjas who are good at speed, and use the fastest speed Intercept and evacuate the large troops of Yuren, the battle is mainly delayed, supplemented by annihilation."

"Take the wind, Uchiha Hayato, Hyuga Kai! Order the three of you to select 500 ninjas from your respective families, and quickly intersperse the battlefield. Try to push the front line forward by at least 50 kilometers. Don't stop if there is no serious resistance."

"After reaching the target distance, if you still have spare energy, you must turn back quickly and support Orochimaru."

"Nara Shikahisa, I, and all the remaining jounin, led 1000 people from the camp and marched towards the hinterland of the country of rain, advancing gradually on multiple fronts, sweeping the battlefield in an all-round way, so as not to let any rain go Tolerate."

"As for, Your Excellency Jueying." Mitomonyan turned his head and looked at Lei Luo with a questioning look: "Please lead the root troops to maintain mobility, clear the fish that slipped through the battlefield, and at the same time try to pay attention to the Sansho Hanzo trace."

"If Hanzo really shows up, please take the initiative to restrain him."

Mitomonyan's tactical arrangement is simple and clear. Although there is no complicated strategic deployment, it can also be seen that his command skills are relatively passable.

It's just... The reason for Urenin's retreat is still unknown, and there is a serious lack of information, so he started such a big attack. Are you really not afraid of Hanzo's conspiracy?

Lei Luo glanced at Mitomonyan quite unexpectedly. Lei Luo didn't like to comment on the other party's arrangement, but he also knew that this was not the time to talk nonsense.

He still understands that the fighter plane cannot be delayed.

"I have no problem." Lei Luo first responded to the order, and then reminded: "But my range of perception can't take care of such a large battlefield. If Hanzo really shows up somewhere, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it in time."

"I've been prepared for this." Mitomonyan's expression didn't change, he just gestured with his eyes, and soon one of the people below stood up and put a huge package on the table.

Lei Luo watched curiously as the man unwrapped the package. Immediately, Kunai with a small cloth bag hanging from hundreds of rings came into view.

There is nothing special about these kunai, the main thing is that the small cloth bags attracted Lei Luo's attention: the size is only the size of an adult's fist, and each cloth bag extends from the inside to the outside with a strip about ten centimeters long. thin line.

"This is the lead wire?" Lei Luo observed the material of these thin wires for a moment, and quickly came to a conclusion.

"Your Excellency Jueying, you actually know this thing?" This time it was Mito Menyan's turn to be surprised. He looked at Lei Luo strangely, "Then you should understand what I mean, right?"

'Unexpectedly, the human beings in this world are not ignorant of gunpowder. Lei Luo was indeed a little surprised, but that was all.

In the early days of Lei Luo's time travel, he actually considered getting out the firearms, after all, he had that ability.

Even if an automatic rifle cannot be produced due to the limitation of industrial technology, there is no problem with things of this level.

It's just that after mastering the triple speed, Lei Luo stopped this idea. Who made him almost as fast as the bullet?What's the use of having a gun?

And even though his movements were so fast, Hanzo could still keep up with him. Perhaps for some high-speed ninjas, guns were far less powerful than Lei Luo imagined, so Lei Luo didn't pursue much.

Even if he was a master in the use of various firearms in his previous life, who changed the times?Ninjutsu, secret art, power of time, these things are Lei Luo's new "guns", which are far stronger than the guns in the previous life.

Therefore, now that he suddenly saw gunpowder, Lei Luo expressed his calmness.

"Isn't this the thing used to set off fireworks?" Lei Luo glanced at Mitomonyan quite speechlessly, "Are you planning to use it to send signals?"

"That's right!" Mito Menyan nodded, and said in a deep voice, "The strategic value of these fireworks during the holidays is actually underestimated by many people."

"In my opinion, as long as the fireworks are matched with different colors, and the height advantage when they are set off is used, information can be transmitted over long distances, and then the ninja army can be commanded."

"After all, there are very few ninjas and psychic beasts that can fly in the ninja world, so this method of information exchange is not easy to be intercepted."

"Of course, this method also has its disadvantages. Simply put, the enemy can also see it. In order to prevent it from being deciphered by the enemy if it is used too much, it will not be used unless it is an emergency or when our side has a great advantage."

Lei Luo was silent for a while, and then asked, "It's amazing, who came up with this method?"

Mito Menyan smiled slightly, and said modestly: "I came up with it, it's just a small trick, don't worry about it."
