Chapter 55
In Hokage's office, there was only a thin layer of dark green tea left in the teacup in front of Lu Jiu. His eyes were red with bloodshot eyes all over the whites. He hadn't slept since he received the phone call from Hoshino Mu.

Phone calls, maps, two points and one line, one person is still orderly in contact with thirty defense points, and his powerful overall planning ability is vividly displayed.

Of course, his pressure is not so great now, because in three days, ten outposts and bases in the southwest have been removed, and Hoshino Mu helped him reduce a lot of work burden.

"East and northwest, let's go around Konoha to join Yun Nin. No, Sand Ninja fought with Yun Nin just now. It shouldn't be wrong. Since Yun Yan can form an alliance."

Lu Jiu stood in front of the map, his eyes wandering in the circle drawn before, and he kept talking to himself.

The arrangement of these ten defense points has no rules, and it is impossible to find the opponent's next move.

"Lu Jiu."

The office door was pushed open, and Hiruzaru Sarutobi walked in.

"Lord Hokage."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at the deep dark circles under the other party's eyes, and sighed: "Go back and rest, Shikahisa, you have to trust that other people can help you share the tasks."

Lu Jiu shook his head and forced a smile: "It's okay, I can't sleep even if I go home now, why don't I see what I can do here."

Sarutobi patted Shikahisa on the shoulder: "Don't worry, with the support of Hinata and Uchiha, the other two roads can be stabilized for the time being, and the threat of sand ninja is not that great."

Lu Jiu nodded, as if thinking of something: "My lord, is there any news from Anbu?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart: "No, 'Qing' did not find them, but was embarrassed by the trap they left behind."

Lu Jiu was not surprised, Hoshino Mu dared to reveal the location and was not afraid of them looking for it.

The two of them also made several phone calls in the past three days. The conversations between the two sides were true and false, and they were both true and false.

"By the way, my lord, does 'Gen' have any plans recently?"

Lu Jiu seemed to raise his mouth inadvertently.

"Gen is in charge of many intelligence reports in the northwest and east, and Danzang is also very busy recently. Do you have anything to ask him?"

"No, I'm just thinking that the village is struggling now, if 'Gen' has the energy to spare. Sigh~ forget it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at him, and said in a soft tone: "Danzo is more aggressive in his actions, and he doesn't care about other people's feelings when he speaks and does things, but his love for the village is unquestionable, and we should cooperate well in the future. "

"Yes!"

At this moment, the phone in the office rang, and Lu Jiu stepped forward to pick up the phone: "Well, you hold on, the reinforcements will arrive soon."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jiu looked grim: "Luo Sha suddenly intensified his attack on Ludian City. Ludian City was captured. Ding Zuo led the troops to retreat to Master Zilaiye."

Ludian City is less than a day's walk from the fortress where Jiraiya's troops are stationed. This distance is too delicate.

After finishing speaking, Lu Jiu's complexion suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something, he walked quickly to the map, his lips trembling, his fingers kept moving on the map, and suddenly stopped in one place.

"here!"

Lu Jiu yelled and walked quickly to the phone. Just before he picked up the phone, the ear-piercing ringtone rang, and a bad feeling rose in Lu Jiu's heart.

"Good afternoon, Lu Jiu, I hope I didn't disturb your lunch."

Hearing Hoshino Mu's beating voice, Lu Jiu's mood sank to the bottom.

"Hoshino Mu, I guess you just won it?"

"Who knows, I have the habit of sleeping in the cage in the morning."

Lu Jiu snorted coldly in his heart. The outposts in the southwest all asked to call the village every once in a while to ensure safety. This outpost just called not long ago, and this guy really didn't say a word of the truth.

"Is Konoha's people alright?"

"Of course, we are all partners who have cooperated many times, you should trust me."

Hoshino Mu picked up the after-dinner fruit that was originally prepared for the commander here on the table, and took a bite by himself.

"Well~ Konoha's fruit is really good, not as sweet as ours, remember to prepare three thousand catties for me then."

Lu Jiu's mood is very calm at this time, this is not the first time this kind of dialogue has been staged, if he was still angry, he would have been bedridden long ago.

In fact, what Hoshino Mu said was not entirely wrong. After the war, it was already two people who bought the captives, or it was a matter of tacit agreement with Hokage-sama. Lu Jiu also analyzed Hoshino Mu's attitude from Hoshino Mu. He really wanted Konoha to die, and Hoshino Maki had no intention of destroying Konoha, at least for now, which is also the basis of 'cooperation'.

After all, the buyers were wiped out, so who would pay for the captives?

But it is impossible for Lu Jiu to pin Konoha's safety on this profit-seeking guy. He mediates with Hoshino Mu while strengthening the strength of the remaining outposts. No need to pay for ransom.

The two hung up the phone without saying a word.

As the communication deepened, their conversation time became shorter and shorter, and each was worried about what clues the other would draw from their own mouths.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jiu showed no frustration on his face, but excitedly walked to the map, looked at it for a while, and then punched it.

"That's right here! Sand ninjas want to join forces with Iwanin to eat the fortress that Jiraiya is stationed at. Once the fortress falls, Konoha will have a smooth path for them!"

Jiraiya and the others have already retreated to the last checkpoint, and if they retreat again, they will fight the Konoha defense battle.

Although the fortress is strong, it is very difficult to defend against Luo Sha's Magnetic Dungeon and Ohnoki's Dust Dungeon. With the addition of Hoshino Mu's old Yinbi, Lu Jiu doesn't think Zilai can defend it.

"Are you sure?"

Lu Jiu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I didn't get much information from Hoshino Mu, but Luo Sha's sudden impatience must have been stimulated by some factors, probably because of the pressure from the elders behind him, combined with Hoshino Mu's erratic actions Uncertain, but still a slight upward trend, I guess he wants to join Luo Sha.”

Hiruzaru Sarutobi walked to his side: "I think Hoshino Mu's troops are very ambiguous, the distance from Kikyo City and Ludian City is about the same, Kikyo City has to defend."

Lu Jiu smiled wryly: "I also understand. But from the known information, Sand Shinobi sent a total of about 3000 troops, 2200 of whom were in the Luo Sand Army. Our center of gravity must be tilted towards him. On the contrary, Hoshino Mu has fewer manpower. Even if it hits Konoha Village, we can handle it."

To put it bluntly, Hoshino Mu's troops can only serve as a harasser, and it is the other three troops that can really threaten Konoha.

Yuan Fei nodded, and couldn't help but sigh: "If I knew this, I should have killed him with a stick."

Lu Jiu already knew that Hoshino Mu had come to Konoha, and also knew that Hokage-sama was just talking, and his character would not be so impulsive at all.

"Lu Jiu, why don't you adjust Zhenhong to Jiraiya?"

"Then who will be stationed in Kikyo City?"

"Danzo, I can only work hard for him."

Lu Jiu resolutely denied: "It's more suitable for Danzo-sama to be in the village at this time. After all, he needs to control the scheduling of 'gen'. It's more suitable for Master Zhenhong to station Kikyo Castle. Let. Let the teachers of the ninja school go to support it .”

Shikajiu originally wanted to say Orochimaru, but changed his words temporarily considering his relationship with Danzo.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was silent for a moment, then nodded: "It has to be like this."

The teachers of the Ninja School shoulder the important task of escorting and caring for the next generation of Konoha, and they are also the precious wealth of the village. If it is not an emergency, he really does not want these people to go to the battlefield.

At the same time, at an outpost in the southwest, Hoshino Mu was sitting with Qu Zhen.

"I don't know the security of the T-2 outpost, but my classmate Wu Zhai is there, you can wait for him to stun him when he is on patrol, and pretend to be him, his mouth is like"

Gu Jie was about to report the casualties with Hoshino Mu, but Ye Cang stopped him with his hand: "He is discussing with the little military division how to conquer the next outpost, just tell me the information."

Gu Jie nodded and grinned: "Thanks to that kid, only 5 people were killed and 27 were injured in the three outposts. 29 people were killed and 118 were captured."

"Close to 150 people, an average of 50 people in an outpost?"

Ye Cang was a little surprised.

"Well, Konoha seems to be replenishing the strength of the outpost, and there is a unique way of connecting with each other. Our raids are getting more and more difficult."

Ye Cang frowned, accustomed to this low-casualty fighting style, she no longer wanted to fight that kind of high-casualty battle.

"Yakura, Kosuke."

Hoshino Mu let Quzhen leave and waved to the two of them.

"Listen, Gu Jie will take my puppet to attack the T-2 outpost in a while. The louder the movement, the better. I will tell you the specific action through the puppet. Ye Cang, you order 100 trustworthy brothers, preferably If the background is clean, follow me."

"Where?"

Hoshino Mu grinned: "Kankyo Castle."
