Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Chapter 569 Never fought such a rich battle
At night, many senior ninjas from the ninja army gathered in a makeshift tent.

There were no chairs inside the simple tent, only a large stone table made of earth, and on the table was a map of the Grass Kingdom and its surrounding areas.

Mu Yue and Jiraiya stood side by side on the north side of the table, while Namikaze Minato and Kakashi stood behind each of them, and the other jonin stood on the other sides of the large stone table.

"I believe everyone must have a lot of questions in their minds, why did they reunite so quickly after dispersing, and why did Mu Yue appear here." Jiraiya said slowly.

Some of the senior ninjas nodded. With such a sudden change, it was difficult for them to understand everything due to the lack of information.

"First of all, Mu Yue is leading a support force to help us deal with Iwagakure," Jiraiya began to explain.

"Because the situation on the front line was critical, Mu Yue selected the elite from the support force and sent them to the Grass Country as quickly as possible. So now the main force of the support force has not arrived yet. Only the fifty elite ninjas from the vanguard force have arrived."

A jonin showed joy on his face and couldn't help asking, "Master Mu Yue, how many ninjas are there in the support force?"

Now that the elite troops have arrived, even if the main force is slow, it won't be too late. He can't wait to wash away the failure of the last time.

"Including the elite troops, there are a total of one thousand ninjas." Mu Yue answered seriously.

"Great! With the support troops, our strength is no worse than the Iwagakure troops. We will not lose again this time!" The senior ninja who had just asked the question looked even more excited.

This is a reinforcement of one thousand ninja troops. He has been fighting for so long, but this is the first time he has seen Konoha send out such a strong reinforcement force at once.

It’s not that Konoha is stingy, but Konoha does not have many troops among the many ninja villages.

From the founding of Konoha to the present, there have been only more than 12,000 official ninjas in total.

Now the war in the ninja world has reached the Third Ninja World War. Due to the losses caused by years of war and the natural deaths of ninjas, there are really not many active ninjas in Konoha.

In other words, the number of ninjas in each village is confidential. Otherwise, if we make a ranking list of active ninjas, Konoha may be at the bottom of the five major ninja villages.

The other jonin were all shocked as well. They felt that they had never fought such a rich battle before, with as many as a thousand reinforcements.

"As expected of Teacher Mu Yue, he's so good at even lying." Seeing that no one on the field questioned him, Obito, who had been silent the whole time, gave a thumbs up to Mu Yue in his heart.

White Zetsu, who was disguised as Hinata Sha, also showed a look of surprise. He silently wrote down the information and prepared to pass it on later.

"We were dispersed before because we didn't have enough fighting power. We were worried that our location would be discovered and we would be wiped out. But now that a thousand ninja troops have come to support us, there is naturally no need to hide anymore." Jiraiya continued.

The jonins nodded in agreement. When it came to ninja troops of the same number of people, Konoha had never been afraid of anyone else.

"Which place do you think is suitable for meeting up with the support troops and serving as a temporary base?" Jiraiya began to brainstorm and collect ideas.

Each of the jonin studied the map carefully and expressed his own opinions.

After the battle meeting was over, Jiraiya reminded with a serious look:
"There may be spies among our troops now, the contents of the meeting must not be leaked!"

When Jiraiya was assassinated by Sarutobi Jonin, not many people saw it, and Jiraiya deliberately concealed the news. So far, the ninja troops do not know that the failure was caused by a spy.

The jonin in the tent all had solemn expressions on their faces.

"Don't be too nervous. Those who I have called to attend this meeting are all ninjas you can trust." Jiraiya said with a smile.

"As long as nothing unexpected happens, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory this time."

The jonins looked at each other and all felt that what Jiraiya said was correct. Most of the jonin gathered here were from the Shinobi clan, or old jonin who had worked hard and made great contributions. There was no way there could be spies.

As long as nothing happens to this group of people, the news won't leak out, and there won't be any accidents.

"I really want to cancel the transformation technique and let them watch it. It will definitely be very interesting." Bai Zetsu laughed wildly in his heart.

Hinata Shashi is indeed a trustworthy ninja, but the one present is not Hinata Shashi, but his White Zetsu!

Of course, White Zetsu just thought about it normally, as he still had to complete the task of transmitting information.

But it doesn't matter if he can't reveal his true identity now. He will wait until Jiraiya and the others are surrounded and in desperate situation. He will laugh loudly at them before running away.

After the meeting, the ninjas dispersed, including Jiraiya and Muyue.

However, after leaving, Jiraiya, Muyue and Namikaze Minato quickly escaped and used shadow clones to disguise themselves. Finally, the three of them met again in a hidden place.

The meeting just now was used to confuse White Zetsu. The real combat meeting had ended long ago, and there were only three of them participating.

"The bait is ready. Now it depends on whether the Iwagakure ninja will take the bait." Jiraiya said as he looked towards the northwest where the Iwagakure ninja was.

In order to deceive the spies, very few people knew the real battle plan. Apart from Mu Yue Jiraiya and their disciples, only the senior leaders of the support forces knew about it.

"According to the current intentions shown by Iwagakure, they definitely want to wipe out the Konoha troops from the Land of Grass in one fell swoop. They will definitely take the bait, and it will not be easy even for us to eat this big fish." Namikaze Minato thought.

The thousand-man support force mentioned by Mu Yue was just a lie to lure Iwagakure into taking the bait. In fact, the support force and Jiraiya's force together only had 1,200 ninjas. Namikaze Minato didn't know the exact number of ninjas on Iwagakure's side, but based on the current number, it must be more than 1,800 ninjas, at least 600 more than Konoha.

Six hundred is a lot of ninja units, enough to form an army.

"After all, the overall situation is still unfavorable to us. It will definitely be difficult to annihilate them all. Let's try to eliminate half of them." Mu Yue said after thinking for a while.

Jiraiya nodded in agreement and said, "Half is already a good number. If this is reported back to Iwagakure, it will be enough to make Ōnoki sad for a long time."

Half of eighteen thousand is nine hundred. The resources needed to train nine hundred qualified ninjas are enormous.

"If you defeat the Four-Tails Jinchuriki this time, you will be the real number one of the younger generation of Konoha!" Jiraiya patted Mu Yue's shoulder and said with a smile.

During the combat meeting, Mu Yue volunteered, saying that he had made a great breakthrough in water jutsu recently, and that he alone was enough to deal with the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the ninjas who protected the Four-Tails.

"Minato, you also need to work harder. Why don't you go to Myoboku Mountain to study Sage Mode?" Jiraiya then patted Minato Namikaze on the shoulder again.

Namikaze Minato looked helpless, "Teacher Jiraiya, please stop joking. How can I make it in time now? Besides, didn't Sennin Fukasaku tell me last time that my chakra training is not enough?"

As Sage Mode is a special skill that can enhance ninja abilities in all aspects, Namikaze Minato naturally wants to learn it. However, learning Sage Mode itself requires powerful chakra.

However, Minato Namikaze has not yet met the standard of "powerful chakra".

"Insufficient chakra is a fatal flaw. Otherwise, with your talent, Minato, under great pressure, you might really be able to learn it quickly." Jiraiya said, touching his chin.

It took him a long time to learn Sage Mode.

However, Jiraiya's situation was special. When he was learning the Sage Mode, he did not stay in Myoboku Mountain for special training. Instead, he practiced whenever he had time, and the overall practice time was not particularly exaggerated.

Of course, compared to someone as cheating as Uzumaki Naruto, Jiraiya did spend a lot more time.

……

"The feeling is quite different from the last time I came here." Obito complained in a low voice while leaning against a tree and looking at the sky with a bored look on his face.

Although it is the same ninja team, their spirit and energy are much worse than in the previous mission.

"After all, it was a heavy defeat," Kakashi replied.

"Hey, Kakashi, why aren't you asleep yet?" Obito looked at Kakashi who was sitting on the branch in surprise.

They had to move again soon, so they just found a random place to sleep.

"So why didn't you sleep?" Kakashi asked back.

Obito scratched his head, and finally said honestly: "I am a little concerned about the spies in the army, and the atmosphere of the army this time."

Obito has been through a lot now, but the unit he's in has never suffered a major defeat, nor has there been any incident of Konoha ninjas rebelling and becoming spies.

"Actually, there's no need to care. Since they've become spies, no matter what the reason, they're already enemies of Konoha. As for the atmosphere of the troops, as long as you win a big victory, the familiar feeling will return." Kakashi said lightly.

"Oh." Obito wanted to say that what he really cared about was not the appearance, but the essence revealed after the incident.

But he didn't know how to describe it, so he could only scratch his hair and sigh.

"So why didn't you sleep, Kakashi?"

Obito remembered that Kakashi hadn't answered his question yet.

"I'm worried that you might accidentally leak the information, so I'm keeping an eye on you." Kakashi answered without any concealment.

The information they possess is not as comprehensive as that of Mu Yue Bo Feng Shui Men, but they are also the group that possesses the most information besides them.

Obito's face darkened and he wanted to scold Kakashi, but then he remembered that it was late at night, so he could only swallow his words and glared at Kakashi.

"You damned evil bastard! How dare you look down on me like this?" A glare was not enough to vent his anger, so Obito cursed again in his mind.

In order to prove his ability to keep secrets, Obito fell asleep.

After Obito fell asleep, Kakashi opened the transparent world and observed his surroundings, then soon closed his eyes.

PS: There will be another chapter later, but the time is uncertain, so it is recommended to read it tomorrow.

Anyway, you will definitely see it tomorrow.
