When Danzo was in charge of Anbu, he kept extremely close tabs on the Uchiha clan. No matter what they did, they would be closely monitored by Anbu. It would be even more difficult for the Uchiha ninjas to leave the village.
Whenever the Uchiha clan wanted to obtain ninja training resources from the village, they would be harassed by Danzo.
And whenever there are various dangerous missions, Danzo will let the Uchiha clan ninjas handle them.
The death toll of their Uchiha clan ninjas is the highest in the village every year.
Now that Danzo had left on his own in such an important matter, the Uchiha clan only needed to seize the opportunity. Even if they could not make Danzo receive severe punishment, they could at least make Danzo lose face and vent their anger.
"Although Elder Danzo is the commander-in-chief of this operation, he is now missing and has left no news. We must not delay the opportunity to attack the Iron Mine City because of this. If the opportunity is delayed, no one of us can take responsibility." Hyuga Tetsuki also expressed his opinion.
They are also hostile to Danzo.
His current thoughts were the same as Uchiha Yan's, to seize this opportunity and give Danzo a good treatment.
Without any hesitation he also supported Jiraiya's decision.
Anyway, even if the village blames them, it can't be blamed on them.
Because the order to attack the Iron Ore Castle without waiting for Danzo to return was given by Jiraiya.
If it really leads to uncontrollable consequences, Jiraiya will have to take the blame.
The leaders of other ninja clans did not express any opinions, and obviously agreed with Jiraiya's decision.
"Since everyone agrees, let's launch an attack on Iron Ore City tomorrow and make sure we take it down in one fell swoop."
Jiraiya said with a serious face.
"Lord Jiraiya, isn't it a bit too hasty to launch a full-scale attack on Iron Ore City tomorrow? Should we conduct a feint attack for a few days to wear down the morale and condition of the Rain Country defenders?"
"Maybe after we launch a feint attack for a few days, Elder Danzo will return. Then it won't be too late for us to launch a general attack on Iron Ore City."
The leader of the Yamanaka clan couldn't help but speak when he heard that Jiraiya was planning to launch a general attack tomorrow.
"Captain Yamanaka, your suggestion is indeed good, but we don't have time for a feint attack.
I don't need to say how important the Iron Ore City is.
You also know that the ninjas from the Wind Country and the Rain Country have begun to infiltrate this side.
We don't have time to drag it out.
Since we have to fight, let's just launch a general attack."
Jiraiya rejected Yamanaka Kage's proposal.
His suggestion was good. Carrying out a feint attack for a few days would definitely make the Rain Country's defending ninjas physically and mentally exhausted, damage their morale, and thus reduce their strength.
This tactic is the most common tactic in siege warfare and is also extremely effective.
However, this tactic can only be used when there is sufficient time for siege.
What they lack most now is time.
The order given to them by the Konoha high-ups was to occupy the Iron Ore City on their own.
If there had not been this order, Konoha could have joined forces with the other two countries to swallow up the Iron Ore City at a very small cost, but the reality did not allow it.
"I also support launching a general attack tomorrow. There is no need to launch a feint attack against less than a thousand ninjas from the Rain Country."
Uchiha Yan said with great disdain.
He didn't take the garrison ninjas of the Rain Country seriously at all.
"We are pressed for time and have no time to use harassment tactics. It is better to launch a direct general attack. The Iron Ore City is very important to the Rain Country, and they will definitely send other ninjas to defend it, so we can't delay at all."
Hyuga Teshu immediately expressed his opinion.
They also now knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to train Jiraiya to be the next Hokage.
Therefore, Hyuga Teppanyaki does not intend to oppose Jiraiya, but first tries to gain Jiraiya's favor.
In this way, after Jiraiya becomes Hokage, his impression of the Hyuga clan will definitely be better.
The two major clans of Konoha expressed their support for Jiraiya.
Naturally, no other ninja clans raised any opinions.
As for the civilian Jōnin like Tsuchigumo Feiyun, they naturally supported Jiraiya unconditionally.
"According to my observation, the Iron Ore City does not have any weak points, so when we attack the Iron Ore City tomorrow, we do not need to attack one point fiercely. Each Jōnin will lead a certain number of Chūnin and be responsible for attacking an area."
"As for how to divide the area, let's start discussing it now." Jiraiya said as he took out a map of the Iron Ore City.
There is no shortcut to attacking the Iron Mine City, the only way is to attack it by force.
The Jōnin present did not have a good attack plan, so they also had no objection to Jiraiya's proposed attack method and began to divide the attack area.
After more than two hours of detailed discussion, the areas that each Jōnin would be responsible for attacking were all determined.
After all, they don't know the defense strength of each area.
So there is no dispute.
Whoever is responsible for the area being attacked, the defending ninjas of the Rain Country are very powerful, so I can only blame my bad luck.
"The land around the walls of Iron Ore City is all engraved with formations that suppress earth-attribute ninjutsu. When we attack Iron Ore City tomorrow, the first thing we will do is destroy the formations engraved on the ground."
Whether it is attacking the Iron Mine City or defending against the ninja attacks above the Iron Mine City, Earth Style Ninjutsu can play a big role.
If the formations around the Iron Mine City are not destroyed, the effectiveness of Earth Style Ninjutsu will be extremely low.
Some important towns almost always have formations that restrict Earth Style Ninjutsu.
After all, some powerful Earth Style Ninjutsu can change the terrain.
If there were no formations to restrict Earth Style Ninjutsu, then a powerful Earth Style Ninjutsu that changes the terrain would be enough to tear down the city walls easily.
It is very difficult to dismantle the formation.
It is also the most dangerous thing.
This is because once the formation is dismantled, they will definitely be taken special care of by the ninjas from the Rain Country.
"Leave the task of dismantling the formation to our Uchiha clan."
Uchiha Yan volunteered.
The ninjas of the Uchiha clan are all very proud.
Although they know that dismantling the formation is very dangerous and there will be great casualties if they are not careful, if they can successfully dismantle the formation, it will be extremely impressive and can greatly enhance the reputation of their Uchiha clan.
Jiraiya was not surprised at all that the Uchiha clan took the initiative to take on this matter, because the personalities of many ninjas in the Uchiha clan can be summarized in one sentence: pretentiousness is like the wind, always with me!
"Then Captain Uchiha Yan, I will leave the task of removing the formation to you." Jiraiya nodded and said.
After this matter was confirmed, all the plans for attacking the Iron Mine City were ready.
Jiraiya ended the meeting and asked them to inform their subordinates of the plan to attack the Iron Ore City.
