"I forgot about this. Apex 23S. The fastest update." Nara Shikaku reacted quickly, took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Chiba.

Chiba took the scroll, spread it out, and glanced at it briefly. It was a map drawing the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire. There were some symbols of Sunagakure and Konoha on it. They should be holding armies.

The gathering place, and the geographical layout is roughly similar to the borders of the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire on the Hokage map I saw on the Internet in my previous life.

After all, it is geography. For Chiba who pays attention to the plot and battles, it is already a good impression.

However, Chiba did not think deeply. He was quickly attracted by the current situation between the two sides.

Now most of the ninjas in Sunagakure Village have gathered in the Kawa Country, southwest of the Fire Country, while Konoha's front line has retreated dozens of kilometers and has completely shrunk into the country.

And Chiba has also discovered a problem, that is, the current position of Konoha's front line is neither far nor close to the village, nor far nor close to the enemy. It is just at a balance point.

In this position, you can attack the enemy when you advance, and defend when you retreat. Relatively speaking, reinforcements from the village can also be delivered quite quickly.

After seeing this, Chiba couldn't help but sigh.

The Third Hokage is worthy of being the "Strongest Hokage" who led Konoha to victory in the Second Ninja War. This position is considered unparalleled.

I'm afraid Ebizo also considered the Third Hokage's hand before he hesitated to move forward.

However... it is also possible that Ebizo will be used as a smoke bomb... Ebizo will definitely not give up this opportunity. It can be said that if Sunagakure Village loses this opportunity, it will never be possible to shake Konoha, unless they don't

Dead.

Moreover, they are bordering the Kingdom of Earth, so they can be considered a powerful enemy spying on them. It is impossible for them not to notice this.

This is his only chance!

After looking at the map, Chiba already had a general understanding of the current situation, and also understood that Sunagakure Village would never give up on this surprise attack.

At this moment, it has lost the third Kazekage, and the village is leaderless. Now it may be supported by Ebizo and Chiyo. Although some minor chaos is inevitable, there is still some backbone, and overall it should be relatively stable.

But compared to other villages, it is far behind. In the two nearby big countries, the third generation Tsuchikage who mastered the Bloodstain and eliminated the dust escape is still there. The country of the earth is also rich in national power. In comparison, Sunagakure Village pales in comparison.

too much.

Not to mention Konoha and the Land of Fire.

If we don't seize the opportunity here first, Sand Hidden Village will inevitably be beaten passively in the end, and war is now inevitable.

So, the key is, what will Sunagakure Village do to weaken Konoha, its primary enemy?

I'm afraid that part of Ebizo's purpose is to weaken Konoha and take advantage of Konoha's new defeat to create opportunities for other great ninja villages. When Konoha is besieged, he will naturally be able to gain some results!

At the same time, I will take advantage of the Earth Kingdom to invade Konoha, secretly attack the Earth Kingdom and weaken Iwagakure Village.

Thoughts passed through Chiba's mind. This was the purpose of Sunagakure Village that he came up with based on Ebizo's thoughts combined with the current situation of Sunagakure Village.

Of course, he had never come into contact with Ebizo, and he only made inferences based on a few strokes of the original work and his evaluation of Ebizo.

The purpose speculated by Chiba is somewhat correct. It can only be said that it is correct on a logical level, but it is difficult to say whether Ebizo really had this purpose.

In fact, if Ebizo knew these thoughts of Chiba, he would definitely sigh, "Another unique genius has emerged from Konoha.", and even think, "It would be great to have such a person by my side.

Maybe the future Sunagakure Village can be entrusted to him."

As these thoughts passed by, Chiba also looked at the detailed locations and terrain marked on the map without missing a beat.

This is the world of Naruto, the real world, and the military maps here are much more rigorous and detailed than the maps online.

As he watched, Chiba's expression gradually changed. At the same time, his fingers began to draw circles on the map, and his brows became more and more frowned.

Finally, when Qianye's brows furrowed to the deepest level, his fingers stopped and rested somewhere in the Land of Fire.

Then, he raised his head and asked Nara Shikaku, "Uncle Shikaku, where is this place?"

Nara Shikaku was stunned for a moment, looked at the map, and said: "Mount Kikyo."

"Platycodon Mountain?" Chiba's expression suddenly changed.

Nara Shikaku was also startled when he saw his expression.

Could it be that Chiba discovered something important?

He nodded quickly and said, "Yes."

"What's the sign for the city on the mountain?" Chiba seemed to have taken a deep breath and calmed down before saying.

"Kikyou Castle, our barrier fortress of Konoha in the far west." Nara Shikakuya looked at the map and frowned.

Is there any problem here? Sunagakure Village can't reach this place at all, right?

But hearing Nara Shikaku's words, thunder exploded in Chiba's mind!

The Battle of Mount Kikyo! The famous battle of the Third War, it was an important battle between Konoha and Sunagakure. It was also the battle in which Konoha defeated Sunagakure and captured many young ninjas from Sunagakure, Kabuto was one of them.

Is this...a historical necessity?

At this time, Mount Kikyo is the place that Chiba thinks of as the battleground for Ebizo! With this place, Sunagakure Village can launch a flanking attack on Konoha's front line from both sides!

Moreover, the area from the Land of Rain to Mount Kikyo is a weak point in Konoha's defense, making it easy to sneak into.

More importantly, because the defense line has shrunk, there is also a large blank area on the flanks of Konoha's front line.

Sunagakure can invade from the bordering Rain Country.

Even Chiba has thought about why Ebizo didn't march. Now he wants to use the ninja troops from Kawanoguni to attract Konoha's attention and let another army seize Mount Kikyo! And occupy the terrain to attack Konoha's front line.

Attack from both sides.

Relying on that poison, Sunagakure Village cannot capture Mount Kikyo.

Moreover, due to the shrinking of the defense line, some of the defensive troops in Kikyo Mountain were transferred to the border between the Country of Grass and the Country of Fire to fill some defense gaps.

I'm afraid, the Third Hokage's idea is that with these ninja troops on the front line between Konoha and Sunagakure, it doesn't matter if the defense of Mount Kikyo directly behind is weak.

In fact, under normal circumstances, it does not matter, but now, in Chiba's eyes, this is the worst situation!

This is also what a "thoughtful" and powerful intelligent ninja like Ebizo can think of.

I'm afraid, Ebizo's poisonous surprise attack plan is still going on, but it has changed!

Instead of storming before the transportation arrives, we should send a force first, carrying poison, to break through from the Rain Country and conquer the Platycodon Mountain.

Then, taking advantage of the sudden capture of Mount Kikyo and the chaos on the Konoha front line, they attacked the Konoha front line from both sides and struck a fatal blow.

Indeed, it is something that Ebizo with that evaluation can do.

"Uncle Lujiu, the situation is already very urgent!" Thinking of this, Chiba frowned and slowly raised his head.

His face was as serious as ever.
