Chapter 895 Don't put all your eggs in one basket
Guima went on and on, but the central idea was just one thing.
They want to surrender and now they want to become traitors.
"This intelligence is only valid for today and tomorrow."
"Things will change around 4 p.m. tomorrow."
"If Lady Tsunade needs the latest information, she can send someone here in advance."
Guima then took out a piece of paper for communication, on which the contact location and code were written.
Tsunade put it away immediately: "I'll think about it. If we're interested in cooperating, I'll send someone to contact you."
“Then we will await good news.” Guima bowed.
Tsunade summoned several ANBU members and secretly escorted them out.
After everyone left, Tsunade took the intelligence and began to think. She had fought so many battles and seen everything.
There are quite a few people who sell out their villages for personal gain, but the people who want to surrender this time are clearly the high-ranking members of Sunagakure.
Otherwise, the intelligence wouldn't be so comprehensive.
However, there are many aspects to this kind of thing that can be gambled on, and it could also be a trap set by Sunagakure.
After all, they had just advanced to Basha City, and all they needed to do was take the city.
Konoha has been able to advance into a much larger area.
[We should discuss this with Minato.]
Although Tsunade could make the decisions directly in such matters, it's never a bad thing to gather ideas from various sources.
After all, Minato and Chiyo are still the two Hokage.
Tsunade quickly arrived at one of the towers in the base.
This tall tower is a communication tower built by the Barrier Department of Konoha.
It is a device that transmits signals through a remote communication barrier.
Although the transmission distance is limited and it is not possible to communicate directly with Konoha, messages can be received in Konoha by simply passing through a few communication towers.
It only took about ten minutes in the middle.
Compared to the previous method of using a messenger bird, which took one or two days to fly, this is much faster.
……
Konoha Village.
The Hokage's office.
"The Fourth Hokage, Lady Tsunade of the Land of Wind has sent a message."
The Anbu handed over the document that Tsunade had sent.
Minato was handling official business when he heard this, so he accepted it.
He opened the document and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
He had considered that someone from Sunagakure might want to surrender quietly, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and the other party seemed to be a high-ranking member of Sunagakure.
"I understand. Tell the communications tower that I've received the document and will be there later."
"Yes." The secret service personnel quickly left.
Minato's Flying Thunder God technique is very fast, but he still needs the communication tower to respond in the process.
He glanced at the time.
[Qianyao should be at home at this time.]
Although Minato marked many people with the Flying Thunder God technique, he generally wouldn't use it unless it was something urgent.
After all, we still need to consider whether it's convenient for the other party.
He knew that Karin was on the front lines while Chiyo was at home, so he didn't have this problem.
Minato sensed it briefly, and then used Flying Thunder God Technique to fly directly to Chiyo's house.
Qian Yao was sitting at the small table, his pupil power surging constantly, and the pupil technique he had not completed was gradually becoming clearer.
He sensed Minato's Flying Thunder God technique coming immediately.
"what happened?"
Chiyo knew that Minato would come in through the door if he was alright.
The document on the water gate handle was handed to Qianyao, who then gave a brief explanation in two sentences.
Qianyao read ten lines at a glance and finished reading in two short moments.
"Wow, not bad. It seems that besides the ordinary people, there are also ninjas in the Land of Wind who want to surrender to our Konoha."
Konoha actually created a large oasis on the outskirts of the Land of Wind, and even diverted water from it.
These things might not seem like much elsewhere, but for the villagers nearby, they were like a windfall.
Even the thousand people from Sunagakure that were captured last time, most of them have now been conquered by green and gone to Konoha to claim their territory.
Even some of the high-ranking officials in Sunagakure are wavering. Once they conquer more of the Land of Wind, even more people will surrender.
"This is our first collaboration, so there are still some risks," Minato cautioned.
Qianyao stroked his chin:
“Well, in that case, have Karin and Dan investigate. With their abilities, they can tell the truth of the other side’s information even without going to Basha City.”
The intelligence reports consist of half personnel and half defensive fortifications.
Defensive fortifications are the most lethal thing for the attackers, and without intelligence on them, Konoha would suffer heavy casualties.
Minato was puzzled: "Chiyo, your clones can transmit messages quickly, so why don't you leave one in the Land of Wind?"
Qian Yao chuckled lightly: "They left behind, but didn't show themselves."
"After all, I can't let those kids become too dependent on me."
"The same goes for you."
"Although your Nine-Tailed Fox and Flying Thunder God Technique make it very convenient to transmit messages and transport supplies."
"But I don't want the village to rely on you too much, after all, there are times when you're not around."
Qianyao doesn't like to put all his eggs in one basket.
In the original world, after the Fourth Shinobi World War, Naruto and Sasuke were the strongest members of Konoha.
After Naruto was imprisoned and Sasuke was blinded, the village became a bunch of Teletubbies.
Every day, I either act like a human-machine or just babble like an idiot.
The battle against the replica of the Divine Tree was no different from child's play; it was extremely low-level.
Chiyo aims to cultivate more skilled individuals. In case of unforeseen circumstances, even without Naruto and Sasuke, there are still Minato and Itachi, Tsunade, Nawaki, and others.
The main strategy is to have more people, making it difficult for the opponent to target you.
"You shouldn't waste a lot of time on these trivial matters in the future."
"Naruto's training needs to be accelerated. Although he is already quite good at his age, he is not good enough yet."
Minato scratched his head and gave a sheepish smile:
"After Hanabi got injured last time, I kept him at home. Now he can also do Rasenshuriken and is quite proficient in Sage Mode."
"Their ability to engage in direct combat is probably the strongest of their generation."
Qianyao shook his finger: "Not enough. If Jigen were to appear, Naruto would be no match for him."
"Your Flying Thunder God technique is not an advantage against the Otsutsuki clan."
"I'll feel more at ease if we distribute more government affairs and improve our capabilities as quickly as possible."
"After all, strength is the most important thing."
Minato, knowing Chiyo's fear of insufficient firepower, nodded slightly upon hearing this:
"I'm already slowly training Kakashi and Shikaku, and I'll gradually delegate political affairs in the future."
Seeing this, Qianyao felt relieved. Seeing that Shuimen had a plan, he didn't say anything more and directly asked Shuimen to leave.
"Just keep it in mind. You can handle this matter yourself. I've had some inspiration lately, so don't come looking for me for the next couple of days."
Minato knew that Chiyo and Orochimaru had been together for a long time and were more pragmatic, so he didn't care about Orochimaru's order to leave and just used Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.
……
High above the Land of Wind.
The two rode on white clay birds, flying towards Konoha's stronghold.
Although the sun was still blazing, the desert, which was already in winter, was at least a bit cooler.
This also made Deidara and Kurotsuchi feel much more comfortable.
"Brother Deidara, shall we go to the front lines of the Land of Wind first?"
Heitu was not much different from before, except that she had two more hair ornaments on her head.
In the Land of Earth, this signifies that the person is already married.
Even after getting married, Kurotsuchi will always be a soft and sweet little sister in front of Deidara.
"Although our alliance between Iwagakure and Konoha is mainly about changing the terrain, we've been back for so long, we can't just ignore it all. Hmm!"
Deidara was supposed to return in a few days, but when he did, Onoki forced him to marry Kurotsuchi.
Deidara didn't pay much attention to the matter, which could have been resolved in three to five days.
However, after he married Kurotsuchi, Onoki handed over a lot of power to Deidara.
Deidara didn't prepare in advance and kept delaying, and it took more than a month to resolve the issue.
Fortunately, those on the front lines are mostly testing each other, so it doesn't really matter whether the two of them are there or not.
After dealing with the affairs in the village, Deidara immediately brought out Black Soil.
