Chapter 32.3- One Thousand Hands

“So what do you want us to do” Shika asked, stepping towards me.

I took out a scroll from one of the pockets on the inside of my armour and took out a series of papers from the seal. “This was the initial plan. Explosive tags on the trees, poisoning the water supply, attacks on their scouts, and genjutsu on their rear guard, things like that. It was supposed to disorient and confuse them to make sure that they were stalled and didn’t get any forward momentum until our forces get here. What I need you guys to do” I said, pointing at Shika, but referring to much of the gathering.

“Is rework these plans to take advantage of your unique skills to make it so we don’t just confuse them into stopping, but that we route them entirely.” I said next, finishing my pitch.

Shika nodded at that, “Well, I’m more than willing to take point in this one. Crafting a plan to make us the most effective battlefield force in Konoha history sounds troublesome, but that’s the right kind of trouble” She said, and I walked forward and handed the scroll over to her so she could unseal more paper and gave her a quick high five while I did so. I wasn’t a slouch when it came to tactics, but leaving it to a genius Nara was just common sense. She wasn’t the only one with a brain for tactics here, and I smiled to see how easily she accepted Toshiro into her space.

“So first of all, I need to know what everyone here can do. I have some idea from your clans and the Chunin exams but I doubt anyone is still at the same level they were back then” She said, getting unanimous nods from us.

Since she hadn’t specified, I decided to go first.

“Well, you all know I’m Shorirama Senju. I have mastery over all five elements. If you need something to blow up quickly, I’m your guy. I’m also proficient in taijutsu, and can use a nintaijutsu armour made of either wind, fire, or lightning. I can summon whales who can use very large scale water ninjutsu and I have a mastery of fuinjutsu under my belt as well” I said, and the clearing fell silent as everyone’s head snapped to my position.

Izuku whistled, and I could faintly make out Inukuro’s whispered, “S-ranked Kage Killer, of fucking course”

“Well, I get the unenviable role of going right after that” Izuku said with a chuckle that carried in the silence.

“Well, I have a fire affinity. I can use ninjutsu from all five elements, but I’m far from mastery with all except fire and lightning. My taijutsu is good, and my kenjutsu is passable. I don’t have any summons but I do have quite a few genjutsu under my belt.” He said.

“So you fight like an Uchiha then. Noted” Shika said and I couldn’t resist the urge to chuckle at the look on his face.
