Hokage: Starting With Uzumaki Kushina

After Chiba and other Konoha Shinobi advanced ten kilometers, they temporarily set up camp on the spot.

Recently.

Cloud Shinobi kept coming to investigate their situation.

However, because there were traps all around and ninjas were patrolling, no fighting took place.

Qianyu has been quite relaxed these days, and he doesn't need to do some trivial matters at all.

So Qianyu has been practicing these days.

On the third day after being stationed in the camp, news came from Tangyin Village.

Yugakure Village has regained its neutral stance and stated that it will no longer participate in the battle between Cloud Shinobi Village and Konoha, and Yugakure Village will no longer accept the garrison of Cloud Shinobi.

Neither Chiba, Orochimaru, nor Jiraiya were surprised by this result.

After all, the battle that broke out in Tangyin Village a few days ago has severely damaged the vitality of Tangyin Village.

If Kuroiwa Tatsuji was smarter, he would have understood that in their war with Cloud Shinobi Village, a small Yugakure Village was not qualified to take sides.

He could only accept Orochimaru's advice and return to neutrality.

In this way, Tangyin Village can survive in this war that has not yet fully begun.

But this relaxing day only lasted four days.

Day five.

Orochimaru asked Chiha to go to his tent.

There were still only Orochimaru and Jiraiya in the tent, and now there was him.

After seeing Chiba arriving, Orochimaru said seriously: "Two kilometers away from our station, the Cloud Shinobi have begun to gather."

Jiraiya asked solemnly: "How many people are there?"

Orochimaru replied: "It is roughly estimated that there are fifty ninjas. It seems that they are planning to find out our situation this time. However, this time is later than I expected. I thought they would take action two days ago. ”

Jiraiya asked: "Orochimaru, are you going to rely on the traps we set and fight and retreat?"

Orochimaru nodded and said: "Yes, the traps we have set up in the past few days are the main means to stop Cloud Shinobi, but this alone is not enough.

Because the configuration of those fifty Cloud Shinobi is still unknown, Jiraiya, you and I will guard the rear and block the Cloud Shinobi as much as possible. "

Jiraiya frowned slightly: "Will you guard the rear with me? But who is directing the team from the front?"

Jiraiya suddenly paused and looked at Qianyu.

Qianyu pointed at himself in confusion: "Am I going to lead the team forward?"

Orochimaru nodded and explained: "Yes, here, only Qianyu has the leadership ability. Even if we fight and retreat, we cannot retreat too fast.

Although there are traps, factors such as trap failure or discovery cannot be ruled out, so Jiraiya and I guard the rear to ensure the speed of Cloud Shinobi's pursuit.

Qianyu, your task is to guide the ninjas to retreat, but there will definitely be Cloud Shinobi who will detour to the front, and then it will be up to you to organize the ninjas to counterattack.

Qianyu, sooner or later you will become a leader and command operations in the next war, so this time you should adapt in advance. "

Qianyu's expression was a little subtle.

Just because Orochimaru likes him so much, Chiba knows that he will become a leader sooner or later.

Chiba originally thought that he would start with the five unlucky Uchiha, but he didn't expect that it would happen so quickly, and that he would directly lead 32 ninjas.

Jiraiya agreed: "Indeed, Chiba is more suitable to lead the ninjas here and command them to retreat."

At first, Jiraiya heard Orochimaru say, "Only Chiba has the ability to lead," and Jiraiya wanted to refute it.

Jiraiya feels that Namikaze Minato's leadership skills are also very good. After all, Namikaze Minato has been the commander of several previous missions.

But compared to Chiba, Namikaze Minato's leadership level is indeed much worse.

Leadership ability is directly linked to the overall situation. Namikaze Minato's overall situation view can only be said to be pretty good. Moreover, Namikaze Minato's creed is based on companions. It is really inappropriate for Namikaze Minato to be the leader.

Qianyu felt a little stressed.

It was Qianyu's first time to lead more than thirty people at once.

Chūnin who agreed to lead the five Uchiha before was only because Qianha was unhappy with the Uchiha clan and wanted to put some shoes on them.

Orochimaru said: "Chiba, there is no need to feel pressure, you just need to perform normally."

Qianyu nodded and agreed: "Teacher Orochimaru, I understand, I will command them to retreat."

"Very good, then the next step will be easy. Jiraiya go and call everyone to assemble!"

"Okay, I'm going to gather everyone now!"

Jiraiya hurriedly left the tent and gathered all the ninjas together.

Orochimaru stepped forward and patted Qianyu on the shoulder, encouraging him: "We are short of people now. You have this talent. You just need to use this talent normally. Let's go."

Orochimaru left the tent with Chiha.

...

All ninjas have been assembled.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Chiba stood at the front of the group.

Orochimaru announced: "Cloud Shinobi has gathered nearly fifty ninjas to prepare for action, and we are about to start retreating. Jiraiya and I will stay at the back of the team to resist the pressure from Cloud Shinobi.

And you just need to retreat according to the plan. The next person who will lead you is Qian Yu, who will lead you to retreat! "

Upon hearing that they were going to follow Qian Yu's order to retreat, everyone looked at each other and started whispering.

Qian Yu took a step forward and said with a cold face: "I know you have some complaints about me commanding you, but this is an order, so you have to accept it!

Next, all of you will obey my orders, and my orders are absolute! If you disobey my orders, don't blame others if you die!

If any of you disobeys the order and drags down the others, I will kill that person first without the enemy taking action!

You should know very well in your heart that I can definitely do such a thing. After all, in your eyes, I am such a cold-blooded person. "

Among the team, Namikaze Minato's brows were knitted together tightly.

Jiraiya looked at Qianyu's back with a dazed look in his eyes, as if he was seeing a miniature version of Orochimaru.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya came to the back of the team.

Qianyu also started to issue orders.

"Everyone checks their ninja tools. During the retreat, traps need to be set up!

32 people, divided into two teams, one team of 16 people, one team continues to maintain the formation with 1 Shadow Clone and 5 clones, the other team arranges traps, and then exchanges in a cycle.

No matter what happens on the home front, I will not let you participate in the battle. No one is allowed to join the battle!

If you understand, then wait for Cloud Shinobi to take action, and then everyone will follow me! "
