In the Hokage's office,

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru looked very solemn.

Because the current situation in Konoha is quite bad.

Once the war breaks out, the four major ninja villages are likely to attack Konoha at the same time, and Konoha will be attacked from both sides.

Sarutobi Hiruzen began to discuss with Orochimaru how to break the current situation.

Chiyu did not interrupt. He was able to stay here because he was Orochimaru's disciple. As a Genin, he was not qualified to interrupt. It was good enough to be able to listen in.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a cold voice:"According to intelligence, the Third Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village has started a new policy called the Blood Mist Village, which allows bloody battles between ninjas. It seems that they are training for the future war.

No wonder they were unwilling to establish contact with our Konoha before, it turns out that they have been in cahoots with the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Rock Village.

Now ninjas from the enemy villages have sneaked into Konoha, and there may be more ninjas still lurking in the dark of Konoha. The war seems to be imminent.

Orochimaru, given the current situation, do you think Konoha has the ability to engage in battle?"

Orochimaru shook his head and said mercilessly:"If the war breaks out now, Konoha will undoubtedly lose. If it is just the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Rock Village, Konoha can barely resist, but if the Hidden Mist Village also joins, we need to divide our forces to resist, not to mention the Sand Village that is eyeing us covetously.

We only have so many troops in total, and the battlefield is unfolding on multiple fronts. If we divide our forces too much, it will be difficult for us to launch an effective counterattack, and we will only be dragged to death."

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into deep thought.

What Orochimaru said was exactly the same as what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking.

No matter how strong Konoha is, it can't withstand the simultaneous attack of four ninja villages. What

Sarutobi Hiruzen is thinking about now is how to find a way out of this seemingly deadlock.

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked:"Orochimaru, how do you think Konoha should break the deadlock?"

Orochimaru was thinking just now. Orochimaru replied:"The only way I can think of now is to delay. The later the war starts, the more advantageous it will be for Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and said:"But now the initiative of the war is not in our hands. Now they can start a war at any time as long as they want." Orochimaru took a pen and drew a circle in the Land of Grass, the Land of Hot Springs, the Land of Rivers and the Land of Waves.

Orochimaru put down his pen and began to explain and analyze,"The four major ninja villages are still testing each other. The spies hidden in Konoha must be cleared out immediately so that those ninja villages can no longer know the situation inside our Konoha.

At the same time, Konoha has begun to divide its forces and send ninjas to station in the four countries I circled to fight against the ninjas of the four major ninja villages, and try to maintain the battle in these four countries.

Although the four major ninja villages have cooperated, they are not a monolithic entity. As long as Konoha does not show cowardice and looks like it will fight them to the end, they dare not act rashly.

Because they all understand that if Konoha chooses to go all out, it is fully capable of breaking into any of the opponent's countries and villages, and they cannot afford the consequences.

If Konoha loses, then the goals of the other ninja villages will be... They will target the ninja village that we have attacked with all our might.

As long as it is not a full-scale war, but a local war, Konoha, with its rich resources, can afford it.

As time goes on, if the war has not made any progress for a long time, they will most likely fall apart internally.

I once asked Chiyu how he thought the four major ninja villages would break the deadlock if they attacked Konoha at the same time. Chiyu said to use interests to make the two villages turn against each other.

This method is very applicable now. As long as we delay the start of the full-scale war and cause problems within them, we can use the interests to instigate one of the ninja villages to rebel, and maybe even achieve a counterattack and make up for all the previous losses."

Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the table rhythmically, thinking about the feasibility of the method mentioned by Orochimaru.

Chiyu looked at Orochimaru in surprise. He didn't expect Orochimaru to mention him.

But in Chiyu's opinion, Orochimaru's method does seem feasible.

The four major ninja villages united for the sake of interests and prepared to launch a war against Konoha, but if they only paid and did not gain anything, they would definitely weigh the pros and cons and rethink whether it was really profitable to launch a war against Konoha.

And when Konoha promised clear benefits, it was very likely that one of the ninja villages would rebel.

At the same time, Chiyu was also very clear.

If Orochimaru's plan was carried out, he would most likely have to go to the battlefield.

Because Orochimaru's plan was to fight against the four major ninja villages of Rock, Cloud, Sand, and Mist in the Land of Grass, the Land of Hot Springs, the Land of Rivers, and the Land of Waves, and to prevent the four major ninja villages from entering the Land of Fire, it was certain that the troops would be divided.

Konoha only had so many ninjas who could fight in total, so almost all of them would definitely be sent out.

After thinking about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen also felt that Orochimaru's plan was feasible.

After all, Konoha, which was in a passive position, did not have many choices.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice:"Then proceed according to your plan, Orochimaru. Tomorrow I will send the Anbu to join forces with Danzo's Root to wipe out the enemy village ninjas hiding in Konoha.

At the same time, Orochimaru, you will also go to the battlefield. The Sand Village is not to be feared now. The current ninja troops stationed there are enough to stop them in the River Country. As for the Mist Village, I plan to temporarily send a small team of ninjas to the Wave Country to see how many ninjas the Mist Village has stationed there, and then decide to assign ninja troops to go there. After all, every bit of combat power in Konoha is precious now. As for the

Iwagakure Village, Ohnoki is a very smart guy. Before the official war starts, he will not choose to confront our Konoha ninjas too much. It is enough to have Sakumo leading the battle there.

The biggest threat is the Cloud Village. In the Hot Spring Country, Jiraiya and his ninja troops have fought with the Cloud Village ninjas countless times. The battle there is the most intense. The battle is fierce, and the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village are still supporting the battle of the River Country.

Since your plan, Orochimaru, is not to show weakness in front of these ninja villages, then you must resist the Cloud Ninjas of the River Country, so I send you to the River Country, what do you think?"

Orochimaru nodded and agreed,"I understand, I will set off for the River Country tomorrow to meet up with Jiraiya, and at the same time, I also want to take Chiyu with me, please agree, teacher."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled with a straight face,"Okay, even if you don't say it, I plan to do so. I heard that Jiraiya's disciple Minato shined on the battlefield of the River Country. If Chiyu is also tempered on the battlefield, I think he will soon shine and become a ninja who can stand on his own."

After hearing this, Chiyu felt a little excited and murderous. He didn't expect to be able to face the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village so soon. He was ready to take the life of the Cloud Ninja for kidnapping Uzumaki Kushina!
