Naruto Blackened Neji

Ai and Tsunade knew that Shikaku had a point.

They were just a little unwilling.

Jiraiya said: "Shikaku is right, and there is another point. If Lord Raikage goes into battle in person, it will tell both the enemy and us that we have tried our best. But until now, Uchiha Madara has not shown up. , it will make the coalition ninjas think that we are not as powerful as Akatsuki, which will be a fatal blow to morale."

Qing said: "But Darui's first unit faced too many powerful enemies."

Shikaku said: "The battle situation is the same as that of living things. It is changing every moment and changing rapidly. It is said that soldiers have no constant momentum and water has no constant shape. This is the truth. I stay here just to see it thoroughly."

Shikaku asked several chuunin to open the map and explain the battlefield situation to several Kages at the headquarters: "Let's start with the confirmation of each unit."

At the front was Kankuro's surprise attack force. Although they came into contact with the surprise attack force from the Reincarnation of the Earth, they had already defeated the enemy.

The surprise attack force is currently heading towards Akatsuki's lair. Four of them, Sai, Saji, Gansun and Omoi, were transferred to Kakashi's third force due to unfavorable battle conditions.

The first among the combat troops was Kakashi's third unit. In the central area of ​​the Land of Frost, they encountered the Filthy Earth Legion headed by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and they are still fighting.

Since Kakashi and others sealed Zabuza, Renge, and Yige, the coalition forces had the upper hand.

After listening to Shikaku's analysis, the Fourth Raikage nodded his head in agreement.

Shikaku said: "The current main battlefield can be regarded as the place where Loess's second unit is involved in the battle."

Loess's second unit encountered White Zetsu's army in the northeastern region of the Frost Country. Hinata and Yakumo had rushed to the battlefield for reinforcements, but White Zetsu's side also increased their forces, and the two sides fell into a bitter battle.

In order to provide support to various battlefields, Mifune's fifth unit is traveling in a long horizontal formation through the center of the Frost Kingdom, standing by behind the surprise attack troops, and can support major battle formations at any time.

Shikaku said: "Okay, it's time to get to the point."

There is also an enemy Bai Jue force coming from the sea. Their purpose is to attack the flank of the coalition forces.

The one facing them was Darui's first unit, and the two sides encountered each other in the northern seaside area at the junction of the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Frost.Shikaku named it Battlefield A and marked it with a red circle on the map.

The one who is about to fight against the sudden appearance of the Four Shadows of the Ages is Gaara's fourth unit. The battle area is in the desert area in the southeastern part of the Frost Country.Shikaku named it Battlefield B and marked it with a blue circle on the map.

Lei Yingai was very satisfied: "It seems that the combat power has covered all areas. Let's let the fifth unit and the strategic reserve team separately reinforce each battlefield. Let's fight to the death with the enemy."

Shikaku said, "This is wrong."

Ai was stunned: "What's wrong? Isn't this how every ninja war is fought?"

Lu Jiu was a little speechless: "The best strategy is to concentrate superior forces and deploy them flexibly to annihilate the enemy. This is an iron rule of military art and tactics. In war, troops cannot be allocated on various battlefields."

Seeing that the Raikage and Tsuchikage were confused, Shikaku had no choice but to explain: "When encountering two groups of enemies, you must concentrate your forces and completely wipe out one of the groups first, and then turn around and attack the other group. The soldiers are destroyed.”

"This is to concentrate superior forces to defeat the enemy one by one so that our forces will be superior in both battles. The side with superior forces will be more likely to annihilate the enemy. This is common sense."

The Raikage sort of understood.Shikaku said: "The battlefield is now divided into two parts, A and B. In this case, we should first concentrate our forces to clear the most dangerous battlefield A, and concentrate our forces on the side of Darui's first unit."

Shikaku pointed to the map: "First, let Mifune's fifth unit maintain the long snake formation, send it as reinforcements, and use the tail of the long snake formation to join the first unit. Then order the loess second unit in front of the first unit to spread out horizontally. , encircling the enemy from the seaside in a pincer attack."

"In this way, although Loess's second unit will be short of manpower and insufficient combat power, the long snake-shaped fifth unit will reinforce it and strengthen it to become a rear barrier. Next, Gaara's fourth unit will use the enemy's As the center, use >formation to slowly retreat towards the Kingdom of Thunder, luring the enemy to go deeper."

"During the retreat, deploy half of the troops and continue to move north as reinforcements to join Darui's first unit. Finally, there is the strategic reserve where Jiraiya and others are located. Now we must suppress all their strength. On a battlefield"

According to the status of each unit marked on the map, the main force of the coalition forces is concentrated on battlefield A.

Shikaku said: "When the enemy on battlefield A is completely annihilated, order Darui to lead the first unit, Gaara's detachment, reserve team and other mixed forces to immediately rush south to battlefield B to attack the enemy's rear and cut off the enemy's retreat. , attracting Gaara’s Fourth Unit to the enemy forces on battlefield b, and annihilating them in one fell swoop.”

"Mifune's troops continue to advance towards the Kingdom of Frost in the Long Snake Formation, waiting for an opportunity to support Kakashi's third force and Loess's second force. When all enemies on the two battlefields ab are annihilated, our victory has been sealed. , it is only a matter of time before we defeat all enemies.”

Ai said: "But why is battlefield a first? Besides, if Gaara's fourth unit is split in half, the enemies in battlefield B may take the opportunity to attack in large numbers. If Gaara and the others are unable to resist, don't just attack them just because there are only 5 enemies. You are underestimating the enemy. Each of them is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time."

Shikaku said: "Why start from battlefield a? Because the second and fifth troops are closest to battlefield a and can take action in the shortest time. Moreover, after the battle, they are familiar with the enemy's second loess troop, so they can attack Bai from the rear. With a huge army, the effect should be quite significant.”

"As for the enemies on battlefield B, the Four Shadows of the past will not attack with all their strength. After all, our numbers have been reduced by half. They should be suspicious in their hearts and not dare to pursue them rashly."

Onoki said: "Just because they are experienced Kages of all generations, they will not attack rashly. Is that so?"

Shikaku said: "That's right. Even if they really come after them, Gaara's fourth unit is also a long-distance combat unit. They are good at long-range combat and it takes a long time to switch to hand-to-hand combat. In other words, they are very It’s suitable for delaying time. The southern region is vast, so you can trade space for time.”

"Even in the worst case scenario, if the fourth unit cannot resist the enemy, it can slowly retreat towards the headquarters of the Kingdom of Thunder. It is impossible for our army to completely collapse. As long as the battle on battlefield A is over, the situation will improve."

After learning about the battle situation, Raikage and Tsunade, as the supreme commanders, wanted to rush to the battlefield, but Shikaku stopped them in time and told them their strategy.

He is worthy of being Konoha's genius strategist. After analyzing the battle situation, he found the perfect strategy. Shikaku's insights impressed Raikage.
