Chapter 363 Intention
No... to get them to go to the battlefield?
Watanabe Kenshin's eyes widened slightly and he looked at the helpless young man in front of him. At this moment, he suddenly felt something. Summit 23S.
Fastest update
An unprecedented feeling arose in his heart, overpowering his disgust for Qianye, and then, there seemed to be a voice shouting in his heart.
He thought about it!
He already knew it!
In fact, he already knew what I would say!
At this moment, an unprecedented emotion similar to terror arose in his heart. A feeling of being completely seen through came to his heart, and for no reason, a chill ran down his spine.
At the same time, the Third Hokage, who heard Chiba's words, had a slight smile on his lips.
It's not that they go to the battlefield... Although I guessed it, what is Chiba's purpose for those Sunagakure children to do?
Obviously, this sentence aroused the interest of the Third Hokage.
Chiba sighed and said helplessly: "The reason why these young ninjas are sent back is of course not to let them go to the battlefield, but to let them gather their numbers."
Round up the number of people?
Watanabe Kenshin looked at Chiba in disbelief.
The Third Hokage, on the other hand, stroked his beard and seemed to understand a little bit.
"Sunagakure Village is now experiencing a major defeat and has lost a large part of its ninjas. However, their ability to defend the village has not decreased, they just no longer have the troops to attack. The village's defense requires a large number of manpower.
However, apart from the areas where the enemy attacks and needs to be fought, such as surveillance, vigilance, security, detection, and counter-espionage, ninjas do not actually need to have much combat power, as long as they have a certain amount of experience.
However, the manpower consumed in these aspects, taking our Konoha Village as an example, roughly accounts for two-thirds of the manpower for the entire defense. In fact, only one-third of the number of ninjas are actually dedicated to fighting the enemy.
Of course, ninjas in these areas also have combat effectiveness and can also be used to fight enemies. However, compared to ninjas who specialize in fighting, they do not need to have much combat effectiveness. It is good that they can be competent in these tasks. Our village does not
Are there so many young ninjas participating in vigilance and defense tasks?
What Sunagakure lacks now is not powerful ninjas, but enough manpower to take over the trivial village defense. These young ninjas are returned to the past just to give them a little training and use them for tasks such as security.
.
Then, Sunagakure can allocate a corresponding number of troops and form a force that can be used to attack.
Of course, with this group of manpower, you should be able to see how many troops Sunagakure can mobilize that have considerable combat effectiveness and can pose a threat to the enemy, as shown in the second intelligence scroll you looked at.
Moreover, Chiyo, the "One Machine for Thousand", and "Suna no Kai Laozou" are still alive, and there are even some unknown ninjas that Sunagakure uses as secret weapons. There should be quite a few of them. I think, the ninjas recruited by Sunagakure
The troops should be no different."
Chiba looked at Watanabe Kenshin, who's expression had changed uncontrollably and he was looking at him blankly.
As for the second information scroll mentioned in the words, it is the scroll that comes with the information scroll in the first chapter, but its value is not inferior to the first information scroll about the contact between the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Earth.
This second intelligence scroll was found from an Iwagakure killed during the rescue mission. It records the content about the defense of Sunagakure Village. Obviously, this Iwagakure ninja should be sent by Iwagakure Village to investigate Sunagakure.
A ninja from the Hidden Village. And considerable information has been found.
And above, it is recorded that Sunagakure Village has a considerable number of elite chunin-level and jounin-level ninjas.
Moreover, a considerable number of ninjas who are used outside of defensive battles are at the jounin level.
It can be said that Sand Hidden Village still has strength. As long as it is given corresponding manpower, it can mobilize a lot of troops that are not weak.
It was after reading this piece of information that Chiba came up with the idea of returning the young ninjas of Sunagakure.
This kid... actually thinks so carefully!
Watanabe Kenshin looked at Chiba blankly, he was speechless.
"Oh, I forgot to mention that after returning the young ninja, we can also give this information scroll to Sunagakure Village. In this case, we can further gain Sunagakure's favor. At the same time, it will also increase the pressure on Sunagakure's alliance.
"
Chiba thought for a moment and then said.
Then he seemed to remember something again, and said to Watanabe Kenshin: "Oh, I forgot, lest you misunderstand, returning the young ninja actually has another purpose. It is regarded as increasing the favorability of Sunagakure Village. You also said just now,
Sunagakure Village is still hostile and hateful towards us. Whether it is Sunagakure ninjas or the people, they are just forced to form an alliance with us due to the situation.
Now if we return the young ninjas, we can increase their favor towards us. After all, these young ninjas are still children. They have parents. Some of their parents are ordinary people, and some may be ninjas. But no matter what, I thought they would never come back.
When their children return to their own side, they will show some minimum gratitude to the person who sent them back, which means they will show the minimum gratitude to us Konoha. Of course, it will not make them eliminate their bad feelings towards us.
But at least we will look at the relationship between our Konoha and their Sunagakure in a relatively objective manner. In some matters, it will not turn into blind rejection.
As for this information, needless to say, it can also express our Konoha's sincerity in forming an alliance with their Sunagakure.
Moreover, returning the young ninja and returning the information that was discovered by Iwagakure can express Konoha's sincerity and selfless help to its allies. As an ally, Sunagakure will also be under pressure.
There is no pressure to betray us. If it betrays us, I'm afraid other ninja villages will have a crisis of trust in it.
Konoha has helped Sunagakure so much, but Sunagakure actually betrayed Konoha. Then other ninja villages need to think carefully about forming an alliance with Sunagakure. In fact, those small ninja villages will probably never form an alliance with Sunagakure.
This is also a matter of killing three birds with one stone.”
After that, Chiba looked at Watanabe Kenshin who was speechless and stunned again, and said, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"
As soon as he said this, the Third Hokage burst out laughing.
This evil-minded boy...
Watanabe Kenshin was completely stunned. This time he couldn't find any loopholes. He was completely unable to refute.
But this is not because his dislike for Qianye disappears, it is not because his attitude towards Qianye changes, or because he believes in Qianye's character.
But...
He was completely convinced!
Now, he feels from the bottom of his heart that this plan is very good! It's perfect!
This Taki Chiba...
