Chapter 98 - Chapter 098

Kakashi then turned to Sakura

"Sakura I want you Moegi, Ino and Udon to set up camp for the rest of us outside them main camp".

To which Sakura and the others agreed and went off.

Kakashi then turned to Neji

"Neji I like you, Choji, Lee and Konohamaru to go to the village and help with the defences inside".

All four of the replied with a "Hai" and left

Kakashi then turned to Hinata and her old teammates

"Hinata-sama I would like you and Shino as well as Kiba and Akamaru to scout out the terrain for a few miles around the village. Search for any Kiri scouts or advance teams just in case that Kiri sent in a team to disrupt any resistance to their invasion force. Also see if you can find any other area's or places that we can use to our advantage for traps of defensive purposes.

All three then nodded and Akamura barked in understanding and left.

After which he turned to Sasuke.

"Sasuke I want your team to help TenTen's team to set up traps around the village".

Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly since he didn't like taking order from Kakashi like he was a Genin again. But decided to do what was asked of him and ordered his men to do it.

After the teams were each given a job to do, Inari asked the team leaders to come in to the tent to plan their defence of Nami no Kuni.

-Inside The Command tent-

Once everyone was inside the tent Inari began to explain how he and his men were setup for the defence of their Country. He explained that they had further forces in small forts and bases around their Country. He also explained how the force here was their main force since the bridge was the key to the whole Country. They believed that the Kiri invasion force would land near the village so to secure the bridge first. Since that was what they wanted most and with the bridge under their control, they would have control of the main escape route out of the Country. They could then quickly take over the Country without much trouble and have what they wanted the bridge and the Country.

After Inari had finish explaining his forces layout and the defences he had taken around the bridge and the village, most of the Konoha team-leaders were impressed with how the Nami no Kuni forces here had been setup. It was made so that even without their help the Kiri-nins would have a hard time taking the village as well as the Country itself.

Shikamaru even began to suggest some of his own idea's to help improve the village defences which Inari agreed to after hearing them.

"So how many men do you have here?" asked Shikamaru

"We have three hundred militia men and about seventy Samurai here" answered Tazuna

"That all?" asked a surprised Kureani

"I'm afraid so Nami no Kuni dose not have a real standing army other than the Samurai who guard the Daimyo palace, even then he only has a hundred of them. Inari was able to convince the Daimyo to give him most of his men to help defend Nami no Kuni. Also considering that we do not have any professional Warriors here in Nami no Kuni the rest are just militia. We were able to gather about twelve hundred men and as we told you most of them are scattered around the Country in small bases and forts. So that if Kiri doesn't invade us from here, and invades us somewhere else we can at lest have some warning of where they are invading from, and give ourselves a chance to reorganize our forces and defences to meet them. We have also gathered another three hundred men all of whom are former hunters and trappers in Nami no Kunai set up in small caves and hidden area's in the forests in Nami no Kuni. We've set them up as small cell groups so that if Nami no Kuni falls to Kiri they can at lest cause some trouble of the Kiri-nins, by attacking supply bases and making raids on their bases. As well as other guerrilla tactics to make things as hard for them as possible as long as their here". spoke Tazuna

Shikamaru nodded in agreement with what Inari and Tazuna had done

"What about the rest of you people where are all the women and children and other old people as well as your Daimyo". asked Yamato

"Our Daimyo was able to get the Ruler of the large island Nation Enkai no Kuni (Ocean Country) which is just south of Kaminari no Kuni, to agree to take him and our people in as refugees. They should be safe there since Enkai no Kuni is in the protected Waters of Kaminari no Kuni fleets. We also sent two hundred of our militia men and the remaining thirty Samurai to protect them should they be attacked by any pirates or Kiri raiding ships on the way". answered Tazuna

"Although that was the correct move to make it still does not change the fact that we're in a troublesome situation. Since even with our combined forces we are at a severe disadvantage since together we have less than four hundred defenders here. While Kiri is has twice that many, also it is most likely that many of the Kiri-nins will have their Kurnai launchers (1) with them. Hence it makes them a lot harder to fight if we engaged them in the village itself, which we will have no choice but to do. Since if we fight them in the forest or the open plain we be slaughtered since they could easily surround us with their larger numbers and we be butchered like cattle". said Shikamaru

"We just have do our best and out fight them when do arrive". said Inari

After Inari had finish speaking TenTen decided to ask something that she had been wondering for awhile.

"Excuse Tazuna-san?" asked TenTen which cause the man to look at her, "But there something that has been bothering me for a while".

"Which would be?" he replied

"How is it that you and your people were able to learn about the invasions, since we were able to only learn of it a few days ago, while it seems that you have known for much longer".
