Chapter 98 The Plan of Hidden Sand Village
Sarutobi Hiruzen is very capable. He has experienced two ninja world wars, and he has the title of "ninja hero".

Not only that, but he is also proficient in five types of ninjutsu with chakra attributes, so he is also known as the "ninjutsu professor".

In addition, he also cultivated the "Konoha Sannin" of Megatron Ninja World, leading Konoha Village to prosperity, so he has a very high reputation in the village.

Because of this, when he said the words "destroy Sha Yin Village within ten days", not only did no one doubt it, but it also boosted everyone's morale.

Especially when he was personally in charge, the confidence of the Konoha ninjas doubled, and they followed him to the battlefield with high morale.

However, compared to other Konoha ninjas who are full of confidence, Hiruzaru Sarutobi knows that the battle with Hidden Sand Village is not that simple.

Because in his opinion, the timing of Hidden Sand Village's attack was too coincidental.

He didn't come sooner or later, but he came immediately after the attack in Wuyin Village. If it was a coincidence, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't believe it.

Since it wasn't a coincidence, it was premeditated, maybe it was discussed with Wuyin Village!
In this way, it will not be so easy for Muye Village to defeat Shayin Village, which has been prepared for a long time.

It is based on this speculation that Hiruzen Sarutobi chose to assemble the maximum available troops, and went out in person, preparing to crush Sand Hidden Village in one go!

No matter what plots you have, if I defeat you, your plots will be useless.

This is called "breaking tricks with strength"!
In order to better implement this strategy, Hiruza Sarutobi decided to divide his troops into two groups.

He personally led the Sarutobi clan and the Inuzuka clan to take the lead, confronting the main force of Sand Hidden Village head-on.

The three tribes of Akimichi, Nara, and Yamanaka were led by his two disciples, Jiraiya and Dashemaru, to outflank and annihilate Sand Hidden Village from the side.

Both sides attack at the same time, if something goes wrong with one side, the other side is also convenient to rush to help.

This battle is very simple, but a simple battle plan is often not easy to go wrong, and even if something goes wrong, it is easy to remedy.

This is the valuable experience that Sarutobi Hiruzen has gained from his nearly 30-year career in Hokage.

Of course, what he believes in is his own strength!

After leaving Muye Village and entering the Forest of the Fire Country, he directly resorted to psychic techniques.

"The art of psychic!"

As his words fell, a huge ape wearing a tiger-striped vest appeared in front of him.

Ape King - Ape Demon!
Ape Demon is a contracted psychic beast of Sarutobi Hiruzen. It has an indestructible body and can be transformed into a freely stretchable Vajra Wishful Stick.

Not only that, it can also cooperate with the user to switch the form locally at any time according to the needs during the battle, and even use ninjutsu in the seal.

In the original plot, Orochimaru once called it "the strongest psychic beast".

Although there may be a little water in these words, or this "strongest" is based on the strong alliance between the ape demon and Sarutobi Hiruzen, but in any case, the strength of the ape demon is unquestionable.

As soon as it appeared, it attracted the eyes of the surrounding Konoha ninjas.

But it didn't care, but directly opened its mouth towards Hiru Sarutobi.

"Sarutobi, has the war started again? Who is the opponent this time?"

"It's Sand Hidden Village!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi said something in a low voice, his face full of seriousness.

"There's not much time, so I'll make a long story short. Help me clear up the route. If there are enemies, just deal with them!"

"it is good!"

The ape demon agreed, and then jumped into the forest. After a few vertical leaps, he disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Although he can't see it with his eyes, as his psychic beast, Sarutobi Hiruzen can sense its existence.

So he followed immediately, and at the same time shouted to the Konoha ninjas behind him: "Everyone follow!"

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

The crowd agreed in unison.

……

With the ape demon clearing the way, the ninjas in Konoha Village moved much faster.

And because they crossed the forest, their progress was greatly accelerated, and they arrived at their destination in just one day.

Originally, they all thought that what awaited them would be a fierce battle with Hidden Sand Village, so they were all prepared for the worst.

But what they didn't expect was that when they arrived, they didn't even see a sand ninja, only a very depressed town.

There was no one on the street, and the shops on both sides were all closed. Someone had opened the window, but after hearing the movement outside, he immediately closed the window with a "bang".

Seeing this scene, Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned.

"It seems that Sha Yin Village has already been here, go ask the scout team what they found!"

"Yes!"

Hearing his words, a ninja next to him immediately agreed, and then disappeared directly using the instant body technique.

After a while, he appeared in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen again, and then knelt down on one knee.

"Report Hokage-sama, according to the information obtained by the investigation team, Sand Hidden Village has retreated!"

"Retreat?"

Hearing this answer, Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned even tighter, "What does Sand Hidden Village mean? Could it be...a delaying tactic?"

Thinking of this, his face immediately changed.

He knew very well that Shayin Village could afford it, but Konoha, who was fighting Yanyin Village, Yunyin Village, and Wuyin Village, couldn't afford it!

Because the time Konoha Village is using to fight Sand Hidden Village is fought by the Uchiha and Hyuga clans with their lives. Every day, many people from the two clans will die.

When the two races couldn't hold on, then Konoha had to reinforce, otherwise the battle line would completely collapse.

At that time, if Sand Hidden Village attacks again, the situation of Muye Village, which is difficult to look after, will become precarious.

"Are you going to use this method to defeat Konoha? Hidden Sand Village is such a poisonous strategy!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi gritted his teeth and muttered, and then ordered decisively.

"Pursue Hidden Sand Village and completely defeat them before they escape the border of the Land of Fire!"

"Yes!"

With Hiruzaru Sarutobi's order, Konoha's ninjas acted again.

The Inuzuka clan was in charge of tracking, and the rest of the ninjas followed closely behind, chasing the troops of Sand Hidden Village with all their strength.

Relying on the attributes of the terrain, as well as the full-speed pursuit around the clock, the ninjas of Konoha finally found the traces of the ninjas of Sand Hidden Village two days later.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted everyone to take the opportunity to attack, but he also knew that this was impossible.

After three days of traveling, Konoha's ninjas were already exhausted. At this time, fighting against Sand Hidden Village did not suffer a single loss.

So he could only order everyone to rest, and at the same time find the investigation team to ask about the situation.

"Are you sure that the troops from Sand Hidden Village are in front?"

"Yes!"

Hearing Hiruzaru Sarutobi's question, the ninja of the Inuzuka clan in charge of the investigation nodded immediately.

"We are sure that Hidden Sand Village is hidden in the mountains in front, and it seems to be a tug-of-war with us!"

Tug of war!
These three words were the last thing Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to hear, so he frowned when he heard these three words.

"What's the name of that mountain?"

"Mountain Kikyo!"

　Thanks to the Zhongnin "Run, Let's Sao Nian" for the reward, and I like your name, huh!
