- But Ryo-kun has a significant advantage against jinchuriki, whether real or not, unlike the rest of our fighters, except for the two Uzumakis," the head of Nara immediately objected, catching my barely perceptible nod.
I wasn't going to hang around on the coast waiting for an enemy that I wasn't sure would show up or not, but I didn't mind trying my hand at Kingin Kyodai - having fought against Kushina on a regular basis, it wouldn't be anything new or dangerous with proper support.
And Hatake knows that very well, which is why he offered to send it. Besides, it's tempting to take samples of the brothers' biju chakra for research - without the Kyuubi's will being influenced for so long, the results should be quite different, and could help me with some of my research.
- Hmm," the Hokage thought.
There were significant advantages to both of my locations.
- I could make a summoning scroll and give it to the student currently serving in the border guard," Hatake suggested before he could make a decision. "Even if I wanted to, the Raikage wouldn't be able to attack a large force in two places at once, and such a move would allow me not only to be in the main camp of the northeastern front, but also to come to the aid of our forces on the coast in case they needed it.
Actually, this kind of movement method had already been covered in the incident with Kiri's swordsmen, so why not use that to my advantage? I also had another reason to be in the place where the crowds on both sides would clash - the prisoners.
I have very few enemies left in the scroll, which can be used for research without pity and zero, if we talk about spare parts for the wounded, and the big war is just a place where it can be fixed without much remorse, and the quality of the material will be at the appropriate level.
- That's probably the best solution, and will allow us to free up additional forces in more important areas," the village head nodded, "You and Orochimaru-san should be able to handle or hold off the enemy long enough to allow our forces to retreat inland to prepared positions if the first onslaught proves too strong.
The presence of a snake sannin nearby will also keep us busy and will be an excellent opportunity to strengthen both business and personal ties between us, further removing the latter from Sarutobi's influence and favoring the Union of Four, as our clans are increasingly known in the village.
- It will be done," I bowed formally.
- When can we send the second wave of fighters to the front? - Sakumo turned to Anbu.
- Not sooner than four days from now, and the possible maximum without denuding Konoha is six thousand," the shinobi answered at once.
- Supplies?
