That's why Xin opposed Jiraiya and Orochimaru's plan.
Defend? Hell no. This place was way too far out, and there was no telling when reinforcements would arrive-or if they'd make it at all!
Xin wasn't about to put his fate in someone else's hands.
Even with Orochimaru's excellent tactical experience, Xin had no intention of handing over control to someone else. He liked being on the offensive, not waiting around.
"With Minato here, we can fight when we want and leave when we want. If Kirigakure likes to play this island-blockade game, then we'll use our mobility to turn their islands upside down and see how long Yagura and Kirigakure can hold out."
As long as they kept their numbers manageable, Minato could always move them away if needed. They held the advantage.
Why should Kirigakure get to pick and choose? Harass us when they want, avoid battle when they want? If they want to play the harassment game, then let's fight fire with fire.
"I can't move that many people at once," Minato said, raising his hand hesitantly. Though he'd mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, this version of Minato was still not the fearsome "Yellow Flash" that terrorized enemies during the Third Great Ninja War.
"So what do you think?" Jiraiya looked at Xin , who didn't seem concerned.
"That's fine. We don't need to move everyone at once. We can adjust the pace as we go," Xin said. "Of course, this is just my suggestion. If you don't think it's feasible, we can stick to the original plan."
In truth, the most effective strategy would be to attack Kirigakure directly. If even the village itself was under attack, then no matter how confident Yagura was, he'd have no choice but to fight back against Konoha.
But an all-out attack on Kirigakure was too risky, and Xin knew Jiraiya wouldn't agree. Instead, he suggested wreaking havoc on the surrounding islands to force Yagura's hand.
Destroying all the islands, razing their military outposts, eliminating all stationed shinobi- how long could Yagura maintain control then? Even if he could keep his composure, how long would his followers remain loyal?
Xin understood all too well how fragile Yagura's position was within Kirigakure.
Many people in Kirigakure weren't happy with Yagura. The moment things started going wrong, the entire village could descend into chaos. And if Yagura didn't want his forces to fall apart, his best option would be to face Konoha head-on to quell internal dissent.
"You've given me a very tempting suggestion," Jiraiya admitted, clearly torn. He turned to the group, asking, "What do you all think?"
Since it was a tough call, it was better to hear everyone's thoughts before deciding.
