- The Kumovians don't know where our main forces are located, but several of their scouts have already been detected and destroyed," Nara nodded affirmatively, "the longer they stay in the dark, the more time we have to bring in reinforcements.
- The big question is, where will Kinkaku and Ginkaku go? - I hummed as I surveyed the formation of forces, "I'd hate to find these cadres suddenly in the backcountry.
Usually, the fighting villages do everything to determine the location of large figures of the opposite side in advance, because battle reconnaissance is the worst thing that can be invented to solve this problem - the loss in manpower against the S-ranks will be monstrous and if you do not put against them equal in strength, it will be necessary to sacrifice a very large number of fighters to force at least retreat.
The same jinchuriki are considered strategic weapons for a reason. Thanks to their bijou chakra, they are capable of destroying entire armies.
- The Hyuga clan has allocated four dozen of the strongest byakugans to detect the jinchuriki in advance," the allied representative reassured me.
- Great," I nodded, "then I suppose I'll have to take over the field hospital before my forces are needed against worthy opponents or to gain a strategic advantage.
Even though I was asking, the fact of the matter was that I had already reached a level of strength where I could decide what I was going to do before my command decided to bring in the big guns.
This wasn't the last world war, where I was just one of many clan fighters who had to follow orders from above and try not to die with the rest of my comrades in the face of constant attacks by Iva's forces.
I still remember that time of permanent fatigue and time pressure with a shudder. A nap of at least four hours was often an unacceptable luxury.
- As the most qualified iryonin in the camp - absolutely! - nodded immediately, not waiting for the opinion of the others.
Apparently, before his uncle's arrival, he had been the one in command.
- I'll show Ryo where we are," Orochimaru volunteered.
- That would be very helpful, thank you," I smiled at the scientist.
- I don't mind, and besides, we'll have plenty to discuss," the sannin mirrored his smile.
- Then we won't hold you up," Hyuga said with a chuckle, "We'll let you know as soon as we have new data.
- Yes, please inform the staff that the fresh enemy corpse delivered to the hospital is the lives of several wounded men who were brought to our operating table," I said to the jonins before I left, "which, as you can guess, no one is safe from.
- Absolutely, Ryo-san," agreed one of the unfamiliar shinobi, "after all, it's in the best interest of the fighters themselves.
Satisfied that I wasn't being contradicted, I left the staff room. Of course, I'd like to get prisoners in this way, but I'm afraid that if I put a price on prisoners, the majority of Konoha people won't understand me.
Though I've never been able to catch an enemy kunoichi and fuck her half to death in the last war. Even though the shinobi world is much fairer, there are double standards here as well.
- Orochimaru praised me, "That's a very elegant solution to the extraction of material," he said.
- It's a shame I'll have to deal with the live ones myself," I sighed, not thinking it necessary to disguise my intentions. The sannin was even more cynical than I was, and he didn't think it was a bad idea to waste even genin children if they were enemies captured on the battlefield.
- Oh, so Ryo-kun has definite plans for this war as well? - The older shinobi raised his eyebrows a little mockingly, but at the same time understandingly.
- Naturally, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the front line so early and wouldn't have gotten involved in the treatment of the wounded in the village, because Konoha has no shortage of S-rang fighters," I nodded to him and added, waiting until we were a bit away from the entrance to the headquarters and the guard next to it, "by the way, I'd be glad to exchange captured shinobi for kunoichi.
For a few moments the scientist looked at me with an incomprehensible look, but then he laughed:
- It seems that all those rumors floating around the village are not even rumors at all, and Uzumaki's amorousness is not at all inflated by popular rumor to exorbitant amounts!
- And that too, but I have a few areas of work that require women," I didn't think to be embarrassed by my colleague's teasing.
Besides, of all the elemental countries, it is in Lightning that people with the closest to European body type live, which is exactly to my taste, and the swarthy skin of some of them only adds pepper.
