 Shibicut straight to the point. “The n makes sense, but I must ask, why are wedeployingourANBU directly to the front line?”

 Because shedidn’t trust herRoot friends and wanted them to die a gruesome death.As long asthey were kept budy on the front line, they were under control and couldn''t do anything stupid. Maintaining aniron grip on themwas of utmost importance.

 Asami maintained a smile. “What''s the issue, Shibi?What''s wrong with our ANBU friends gettingto see someaction?”

 Shibi crossed her arms. “Nothing, but wouldn''t it be smarter to keep them in reserveinstead?Furthermore, I don''t think that we should split them up like you propose. We should better keep them together as one.”

 “...” Asami didn’t believe her ears. Shibi actually knew what a reserve was. This was a miracle of unprecedented proportions. Perhaps there was still some hope left for Konoha. “Your points are valid, but ... The fact is that we are already seriously undermanned as things stands now. We don’t have enough men to form a reserve without weakening our main effort. Our resources are ... limited, and we have to work with what we have. We can’t spare even a single ANBU. Not to mention, we must split them up, sadly. We must somehow bolster the weaker battalions no matter what. We can''t rely on genin to do the fighting. They won''t hold. The ANBU will add some much needed quality to them.” Her arguments convinced Shibi. He didn''t need to know that the real reason for splitting them up was to keep them better under control. As long as they were attached to a battalion, they had less room to act.

 Shibinodded. “I see.”

 Asami beamed. “Any further questions ... Yes, Tsume?”

 Tsume crossed her arms. “Well, I must say that I have some doubts about this entire operation. Our forces are few. Do you think they will suffice to aplish the mission?”

 Asami acknolwedged her concerns. “Your doubts are understandable, Tsume, but don''t worry,our forces, albeit few,will suffice. They must suffice. And if pushes to shove, they can rely on me.”

 “On you?” Tsumefurrowed an eyebrow.“With all due respect, you might begood at thismandand strategystuff, but can you fight? You are just a little girl. Heck, I have no idea why the Hokage chose you to defend the vige?”

 “...” There they were again, the old doubts and prejudices. They doubted her because of her age and appearance, but Asamimerely returned a smile.

 It was Shibi''s turn to deescte.“What Tsume means to say is that... we didn’t expect you to take part in the fighting.Keep in mind, kou are themanding officer. You can’t just go wherever you want and do whatever you please. You carry responsibilities.” He was not wrong.

 Asami turned to her subordinate.“What do you think, Fumihiko?“

 “Well, Shibi has a point. Executingsuch aplicated operation will be troublesome withouteffective leadership and with you going on front line adventures.” Fumihikovoiced his opinion.

 “I guess, you are both correct”, Asami conceded. “Ultimately, though, it doesn’t matter.As I will be busy with some important stuff on the day of the invasion, I won’t be directly in charge of this operationanyway.”

 Shibifurrowed aneyebrow. “And that means what?”

 Asami grinned.“That means that I will delegatemand. I will put you and Tsumein charge of the leftnk.You will oversee operations in my absence.”

 Shibi merely nodded. “I understand, and what about the right nk?”

 Asami shed asmile, her head turning to her faithful subordinate. “Fumihiko-kun~, would you be so kind astodo me a little favour?”
