The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima [Vol. 02]

Chapter 340 - Leaf's Military Operation 01

The strongest Genin of the Leaf Village was standing out in the halls of the Hokage tower, waiting for his teacher to finish his meeting with the Hokage. Soon he saw Kakashi coming out of the room.

'Is it just me or does he seem less tense?' Daichi pondered as he gazed at the silver haired man.

"Is everything alright sensei?"

Hearing the boy's question Kakashi merely smiled. "Everything's fine Daichi. Let's head to the analysis wing."

Daichi looked at the man and nodded. They began making their way towards the Leaf Intelligence Division building.

"So Lord Hokage has already sent teams to attack Orochimaru's hideouts huh." Daichi began to run simulations of the outcome of this event in his mind.

"Yes. Don't worry. They'll be successful." The Jonin spoke af if reassuring the boy.

"They will be successful in taking down those bases and capturing everyone. But saving Tsunade sensei and Shizune senpai... I'm not so sure about that."

"Because you believe they're in the Land of Earth. That possibility is high but it's still a theory. Besides, the seven bases are secondary targets. There is another base Orochimaru created meant to contain you. They might be in that location." Kakashi said with a calm tone as he took out his orange book. 'This might be the last time I get to read this. Guess I better make good use of it.'

Daichi stayed silent and thought about the military actions of the village. 'It's been a little over 25 hours since I got the quest to save them. But in that time the Hokage was able to quickly gather intelligence and launch a counter attack... So the old man can work fast when he wants to huh... But still, that was way too fast. That means... Unless I'm mistaken, he already had his eyes on Orochimaru. His Anbu spying on Kabuto is proof of that. So it's also possible he knows more than he says.'

"What are you thinking Daichi?" Kakashi asked as he glanced at his student from the corner of his eye.

"This attack... I'm wondering how it will go."

"Don't worry. We've dealt with these kinds of situations before."

Kakashi replied and Daichi turned his head with a questioning look.

"During the Second and Third World war, enemy shinobi or other organizations with significant resources would kidnap a high value target to gain an advantage. We know how to respond to such situations."

Daichi nodded. "I know. But the military response would be highly dependent on the specific circumstances, including the country, jurisdiction, enemy strength and target involved, wouldn't it?"

"It seems you've been expanding your horizons." Kakashi wasn't surprised Daichi was looking up information on Military tactics.

Daichi had a smirk as he replied. "Like I said earlier. Last night was very productive. But still, I only know the general steps. Intelligence gathering, Planning, Deployment, Execution."

Kakashi nodded and began to explain the basic process. "We have special tracking and reconnaissance teams. Lord Hokage had already sent them yesterday. The intelligence department would come up with several strategies and a detailed plan. Even contingency plans would be developed for potential obstacles or complications. Once the plan is developed, the selected unit would be deployed to the target location, possibly with support from additional units if necessary. Stealth and surprise would be key factors in ensuring the success of the operation."

"Is Anbu in charge of creating these strategies?"

"In some cases, yes. The entire operation would be under their command. But this is different. The man tasked with creating an attack strategy is Shikaku Nara."
