"Jiraiya do you know when they will attack?" asked Tsunade
"One week from now" spoke Jiraiya.
"DAMN THAT BASTARD! That not near enough time to do anything to stop them", cried Tsuande angrily where she slammed her fist on the table in anger and cracked the table. Tsunade knew that they needed at the very lest two weeks to inform Suna and have them gather their force's, so that they could link up with Konoha force's. So that they could then plan and organise and Pre-emptive attack against the force's in Ta no Kuni and Kusa no Kuni and still have time to race to head off the Kiri invasion force.
Tsunade knew that without Suna's help they stood no chance of making any kind of Pre-emptive attack against Orochimaru and his allies forces by themselves. As they did not have enough Shinobi's to send to attack the enemy forces in Ta no Kuni and Kusa no Kuni and to fight off the Kiri forces when they land. Even if they just split their forces in two and attacked the forces in Ta no Kuni and Kusa no Kuni and scattered their forces, by the time they did that. Kiri's forces would have landed and Konoha's forces would be too week and exhausted from running and fighting to fight off the Kiri forces. There was even the Chance that even if they made a Pre-emptive attack by themselves, Orochimaru and his allies would be prepared for it or he would have scouts, lookouts or spies to look out of any large gatherings of Konoha's forces along the boarders of both Countries. So to warn his forces, where they would be prepared for Konoha's attack and overwhelm them and slaughtered the Konoha's Shinobi's. Also even if they sent word to Suna now, they would only arrive when the attack begins and they would be exhausted and would need at lest a days or two to rest, by which time Konoha would be surrounded by the Orochimaru and his allies forces.
"So what do we do?" asked the ANBU Commander.
"As troublesome as it is we have no choice but to fight the battle here in Konoha in a defensive battle", replied Shikamaru, where his father nodded in agreement.
"But if we do that we will be allowing them to surround us", replied the ANBU Commander.
"We have no choice, Troublesome, if we face either force in a pitch battle the other two forces will out flank us and attack us from our flank or from behind and they will then slaughter us. Even if Suna could arrive in time to help us, we would have to divide our forces to meet one of the other forces where the third force would still out flank us and destroy us both. Besides dividing our forces when our enemy forces is numerically superior is suicide as they would overwhelm our divided forces and we would still be all slaughtered. Our best Chance of winning this battle let alone surviving it is if we fight here in Konoha when we can fight a defensive battle effectively", replied Shikaku.
"Shikaku is right" spoke Tsunade, "We have no choice but to fight them here, but if we are, then we going to make Orochimaru and his forces fight for ever inch of soil in Konoha", after which she then turned to the ANBU Commander.
"Tiger! I want you to help plan and organise the evacuation of all civilians and non-combatants from the village once I've announce that we are going to be attacked next week to the civilians and our Shinobi's, which I will be doing this evening".
"Hai, Hokage-sama" replied the ANBU Commander named Tiger, who then Shunshin'd (Body Flicker) away.
"Shikamaru! I want you to send word to Suna informing them of what going to happen here and tell them that we need their help. After which I want you to form a plan to help with the coming battle to increase our odds in winning", spoke Tsunade, to which the young Nara muttered "Troublesome" but nodded in understanding and left the room.
"Shikaku! I want you to send word to the Tsuchigumo Clan and tell them to send as many of their Shinobi's as they can to help. After which I want you to work out what we can do to slow down Orochimaru forces to give Suna time to arrive in time. As well as reduce Orochimaru's forces and improve our odds against them" said Tsunade to which the elder Nara muttered "Troublesome" much like his son but still nodded and left the room.
"Jiraiya! I need you to go out again and try and find out anything else that your contacts might know that could help us and give us a better chance. But I what you back here as soon as possible as we're going to need you here", said Tsunade.
"Right hime", spoke Jiraiya, but just as he was about to Shunshin away Tsunade called out to him, where she told him to be careful, to which the Toad Sage nodded and said he would, where he then left.
Once Tsunade was alone she turned around her chair to look out at the village that her Grandfather and her Great Uncle founded. As she did she should could not help but wonder how many lives would be lost in this coming battle and if Konoha would survive it as it was now facing the greatest threat to it survival since the Kyuubi attack.
As she thought about the coming battle she could not help but wish for the millionth time that Naruto was alive here and now as he always could give people hope and made victory seem possible regardless of the odds.
"I wish you were with us here now…..Naruto"
