Chapter 262 Yu She, You're Blocking My Way
After analyzing the battle situation, Amawa looked up at Yahiko and asked, "How do you plan to fight?"
Yahiko honestly replied, "We haven't decided yet."
Yu She glanced at him, neither mocking nor angry. He simply walked to the sand table, picked up a few small flags, and began to arrange them.
"The main force of Sunagakure is on the eastern front, where the terrain is flat and suitable for large-scale frontal combat. However, we are outnumbered, and a head-on confrontation would be suicidal."
"Lord Negishi, take a small squad and set up defenses here. Avoid direct combat; use the terrain to slow their advance. If necessary, you can summon the Seven-Tails."
"The troops from Iwagakure are scattered in the north. They are not very aggressive, but they have infiltrated deeply. They want to take advantage of our weakened state and gradually erode our territory."
Amatsu planted a few more small red flags, then turned to look at Yahiko.
"The three of you will take these Jonin and their team to the north. The Iwagakure forces are scattered, making small-scale operations more suitable. Compared to group battles, your individual strength makes you more suitable."
Yahiko listened attentively and nodded vigorously.
Yu She picked up a small blue flag and planted it on the sand table: "The most crucial step is to immediately activate the Blue Skin Army."
"The Green-skinned Army?"
"They're just cannon fodder; they're not suited for frontal or flank combat. However, they can infiltrate the rear to harass and buy time."
"But……"
Yu She immediately reached out to stop him: "Don't talk to me about human rights, and don't talk to me about your kindness. You should know what kind of people these are. If you really can't stand them, don't treat them like human beings."
"After that, we'll draw manpower from major cities. There are still many ninjas in the Land of Rain who aren't under our jurisdiction. They may not be strong, but they can do things like setting traps, defending cities, and blocking lower-ranking ninjas. Now is a matter of life and death for the Land of Rain, and they can't just sit idly by."
"After all, those people have been living in major cities for years and are used to the life of the elite. Asking them to give up everything and flee to another country to become homeless again? They can't bear to."
Yahiko cupped his hands and said, "Lord Amawa, although I don't agree with some of your ideas, thank you nonetheless."
Yu She waved his hand and said, "Whether you agree or not, you have to do it. And don't thank me. I'm not doing this for you, but for the Rain Kingdom."
"Alright, time is of the essence, let's go."
Upon receiving the order, Negishi Kusanagi led his team to the eastern front. Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato also set off northwards with several Jonin.
The operations room gradually emptied, leaving only Yushe and Changxin.
Amatsuki stood in front of the sand table, still deducing various possibilities. As for Nagatomo, due to his lack of strength, he was left here by Yahiko and the others to manage logistics.
"Go pour me a cup of tea," Yu She ordered without turning her head.
Changxin smiled and nodded. He turned around to boil water and make tea, his movements practiced and swift.
Before long, a steaming cup of black tea was served to Yu She.
Yu She took the teacup, didn't even glance at him, and drank it all in one gulp. The moment the tea touched his lips, he immediately frowned.
No! This tea doesn't taste right.
He was a ninja from the Land of Rain, and his specialty was poison. Something had been added to this tea; although the taste was faint, he could still detect it.
"Snap—"
The teacup fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.
Yu She suddenly turned around, clutching his throat with one hand to induce vomiting, while his other hand reached for the short knife at his waist.
"you--"
Changxin stood in front of him, the smile on his face had changed.
No longer the honest and upright boy, but something indescribable, something that sends chills down your spine.
"Oh dear, you caught me." Changxin tilted his head and chuckled lightly. "What a nuisance!"
Then, he took out a calligraphy brush from his sleeve, twirled it in his hand, and complained, "I still have to do it myself."
Feeling the overwhelming chakra rushing towards him, Yushe knew he was no match for him.
He tried to rush out of the tent, but found that a barrier had been set up outside the tent curtains at some point.
A transparent chakra barrier sealed the tent completely, preventing anyone from leaving or making a sound.
The poison had already spread, and his voice began to tremble: "You... Akatsuki... there really is something wrong with you..."
Yu She gritted his teeth and drew an umbrella-shaped weapon from his waist.
He suddenly opened the umbrella, and hundreds of sages shot out from the ribs, flying towards Changxin in a deluge.
Changxin wielded his brush, splashing ink into the air, instantly transforming it into a black barrier.
Thousands of books shot into the ink, as if swallowed by a swamp, falling one after another.
Then, with another stroke, a fierce tiger leaps up from the paper.
Yu She tried to dodge, but she was too slow. Her shoulder was bitten and she was pushed to the ground!
He drew his sword and swung it, but the beast was ink, impossible to pierce or cut!
Seeing his consciousness fading, Yu She finally gave in.
He struggled to pull a stack of explosive tags from his pocket and tore them open with his last bit of strength.
"Let's go together! Hahaha—"
Ten explosive tags detonated simultaneously, creating a burst of fire and shockwaves within the barrier.
But Changxin was no longer there.
The barrier formed by the ink blocked most of the explosion's power; only the aftershocks reached his back.
He did it on purpose, deliberately not blocking it completely, so that he would be knocked to the ground by the shockwave.
Before the explosion, he opened a scroll containing the corpse of a Root ninja.
These were the remains of Root ninjas he had killed last time. They were collected and treated with a special potion to serve as evidence to frame him.
Anyway, the ninjas from Amegakure are generally not very skilled. Not only could they not spy on his memories or give him special treatment, they could even find out the time of death of these corpses.
Changxin casually tossed these things into the tent and ripped open the barrier.
As the smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated, Changxin got up from the ground, covered in blood and tattered, and rushed out.
The explosion was loud, alerting the surrounding ninjas who rushed over.
"Something terrible has happened!"
His voice was hoarse and terrified, as if he had been greatly frightened: "Attack on the camp! Someone is attacking the camp!"
He was spitting blood, crawling backwards, trembling all over, his fingers pointing shakily into the tent.
"Lord Yushe...Lord Yushe, he..."
One ninja couldn't resist and rushed into the tent, only to find the ground littered with debris, traces of an explosion, and a severed arm bearing the Konoha insignia and a tattered headband.
He exclaimed, "It's Konoha's Root! They killed Lord Amatsu!"
At the ninja's shout, the camp erupted into chaos, with alarms, shouts, and footsteps mingling together like a pot of boiling porridge.
Changxin lay in a corner where no one paid attention, looking at this beautiful masterpiece, a slight smile on his lips, before closing his eyes and fainting.
