After Honglei returned, he stepped up combat training in Avalon. They needed to accumulate some experience as soon as possible to deal with the next war, because they would probably be attacked by shadow-level powerhouses by then. Honglei hoped that they could have

Have enough ability to protect yourself.

In other words, at least they have to hold on until reinforcements arrive.

However, Konoha did not give them much time. One day later, Konoha's plan had been formulated, but before that, they once again handed over the task of force investigation to Honglei's hands.

superior.

"I'm very sorry. I know this may be a bit excessive, but among our group, you are the only one who can successfully escape from the enemy's siege..." Tsunade looked at Todoroki with an embarrassed look.

Lei, they had given Hong Lei a very dangerous task before, but they didn't expect that they would still have to take another risk this time. But except for Hong Lei, no one among them had such ability.

What's more, this investigation is related to their future action plan. If they don't confirm it, they will never be able to make a final decision on the plan.

Todoroki did not comment on this. Instead, he asked Tsunade, "It's not impossible. You should talk about it first, but remember, I am not free."

"I understand." Tsunade nodded. The top fighters in the ninja world are very cautious. There are almost no people who are as easy to talk to as Todoroki. For example, Mifune of the Iron Country, even though he is so fond of the ninja world.

, and even sent more than two thousand samurai to participate in the battle, but Mifune himself still did not appear on the battlefield.

This is not because Mifune is timid, but because if something unexpected happens to a powerful person like him, it means that the force he belongs to will suffer an irreparable blow.

It was basically because of this that the Tsuchikage and the Hokage remained restrained and did not appear on the battlefield when Shennong invaded their own territory.

"The thing is like this..."

Tsunade briefly told the plan of Konoha to Todoroki. It turned out that their plan was not that complicated. Conspiracies and tricks would only be used when one's own side was at a disadvantage, because conspiracies and tricks could bring great consequences.

Interests, and the larger the interests, the greater the risks.

Now, although Shennong's side has hundreds of thousands of transformed bodies and four shadow-level experts, on Konoha's side, their military strength is also very powerful.

There are more than 2,000 warriors in the Kingdom of Iron, more than 3,000 ninjas sent by Konoha, more than 1,000 troops in Avalon, plus scattered support from Nadeshiko Village, Hoshi Ninja Village and others.

There are almost more than a thousand people. Calculated in this way, the total number of people who can fight on the coalition side is close to 8,000, and most of them are elite ninjas. This number of troops can already fight against the Five Ninja Kingdoms.

The battle for national destiny begins.

Now, no matter how strong Shennong's side is, it does not exceed the level of the Five Ninja Nations, because their background is not good, and many ninjas, including Orochimaru, have no loyalty to Shennong at all. They are not

I will die for Shennong.

The transformants who would die for Shennong, for no rational reason, can only play a very limited role. They may gather together to launch an attack on the coalition's defense line, but they will never look for weak areas to launch a surprise attack.

, which reduced the pressure on the coalition forces a lot.

Therefore, the plan formulated by the Konoha side is to press the enemy with a large army and directly rely on their superiority in combat power to force Shennong and the others to engage in a decisive battle.

In order to achieve this goal, what Todoroki needs to do is to launch an armed investigation into Takigakure Village, because they need the real situation inside Takigakure Village, and Konoha cannot just rely on imagination to formulate actions that affect the lives and deaths of thousands of people.

And only Honglei can do this.

Because only he could use his superhuman speed to escape from the pursuers and return safely after being discovered.

As for the other candidates, to be honest, apart from Kage-level combat power, no one else can even approach Takigakure Village.

Todoroki briefly considered it and finally nodded, but at the end he said to Tsunade, "You owe me a favor."

Avalon has already received enough benefits in terms of money, and Todoroki doesn't want anything else, and for now, Tsunade's favor is obviously much more valuable.

After all, she is the medical saint of the ninja world, and the other one will be the Fifth Hokage in the future, although I don't know if she will become the Fifth Hokage this time.

Tsunade looked helpless after hearing Todoroki's words. She naturally knew how troublesome it was to owe favors, but she couldn't really just watch the village in danger without making any efforts, so...

She could only agree.

"Okay, I understand, then I'll leave the information to you." Tsunade looked helpless, but she didn't have any good ideas.

"Well, do you have any other plans over there? If not, I'll go back and prepare before setting off."

Tsunade thought for a moment, and then said, "After you leave, the large forces will set off together, but we will slow down the speed and try to keep the road to the rear as smooth as possible. After you send back the detailed information, we will

Only then will we decide the next step.”

"No problem, I understand."

Todoroki nodded and turned to leave, but at this moment Tsunade suddenly stopped him, "I know you don't have much experience in investigation, so you don't need to think too much and just rush to Takigakure to make a scene.

The field is also a method of reconnaissance, we can judge Shennong's defense strength based on the strength of the enemies you encounter."

"Then if that's the case, things would be much simpler..."

After Honglei left, he returned to the stronghold and handed over the command to Mabuyi. She was very cautious and could ensure that Avalon's troops would not suffer too serious a blow.

On the other hand, because she does not need to go to the battlefield, she can also have enough time and energy to analyze the battle situation and make the most appropriate judgment.

After giving instructions on everything, Honglei left the frontline base directly and headed towards Takigakure Village.
