Chapter XXIV

Seven hundred miles to the east of Konoha Hidden Village, the land of fire, there is a large forest with a radius of hundreds of miles, and unlike ordinary forests, this large forest is called the "Sea of Clouds Forest" because it is backed by high mountains and the water vapor blowing from the sea accumulates here.

The main battlefield of Konoha and Fog Hidden is in this "Forest of Clouds" with a radius of hundreds of miles.

Half of the high mountains are in the sea of clouds, half of them are in the world, the clouds are sealed and the fog is locked, stretching for thousands of miles, like a swimming dragon winding across the east of the country of fire, and the momentum is very majestic. The mountains are bordered by the peaks of Iron Country to the north, and the remnants of the mountain to the south stretch to the seaside, becoming a natural barrier for Konoha.

The main peak of the high mountain is called "Yuyun Mountain", at first glance it looks like a huge bird feather sticking straight into the ground, the peak is round and large, the foot of the mountain is small and pointed, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

There is a towering wooden building on Yuyun Mountain, called Wanghai Tower, towering and towering, the wood is blue-black, dull, like black iron. Legend has it that this is the first Hokage built with a wooden secret technique, and it is very strong.

In the western battlefield of the Fire Country, the general headquarters of Konoha is Wanghailou.

At this time, on the upper floor of Wanghai, the Konoha Advisor Elder Mito Menyan stood against the railing, overlooking the reckless and vast sea of clouds forest below, and there was no sense of joy and pride in his heart.

The brow behind his eyes was gloomy and gloomy, and he almost wrung out water.

"Lord Menyan, Uchiha Akiyu is here to report. "The guard outside the door.

Mito Menyan frowned, turned around abruptly, and shouted, "Let him in." ”

He asked Konoha for urgent help, but he didn't expect the third generation to send Mingyu over.

Although I heard that this child has been majestic on the battlefield in the past two years, and Sha Yin also gave him the nickname of "White Despair", Mito Menyan was still unhappy in his heart.

Fighting a war is not a one-on-one heads-up, a child, do you know how to fight?

It's just that now there is no one available, and there can only be one by one.

As soon as Mingyu came in and saw Mito Menyan's solemn expression like a dead father, he knew that the battle situation here was not good.

"The enemy attacked on three fronts. Mito Menyan was very direct, and without even saying a word of greeting, he picked up the baton and drew it on the map and began to explain to him.

The map, half a meter wide and one meter long, hung on the wall, and several places were densely covered with red and blue dots.

The red dots represent the leaves, and the blue dots represent the fog. You don't have to count them, just look at them to see that Konoha is at a disadvantage, because the blue dots are surrounded by the red dots.

"According to intelligence estimates, conservative estimates put the number of enemies at around three thousand. And we have only 2,200 troops here at most. Mito Menyan glanced at him and said lightly.

Both the east and west are at war with the big powers, and it is also necessary to maintain the garrison force on the border to prevent the land of thunder and the country of earth from suddenly attacking, Konoha can be said to be stretched, and investing 2,000 troops is already the limit.

Mingyu had already been mentally prepared and didn't say anything.

The psychological quality is not bad, Mito Menyan nodded secretly in his heart, and continued to analyze: "Now the enemy is attacking from three sides, and the frontal investment is the largest, but with me and Orochimaru in charge, it will be no big problem for a while, and the north side will be resisted by Chentuo." ”

Mingyu frowned, is it him?

Thousand Hands Dust Tuo is the second son of the second generation, the uncle of the Thousand Hands Xiangyuan, inherited the second generation of the Thunder God Sword, the Thousand Hands Fluid Technique is extremely attained, and he is also very proficient in Water Escape Ninjutsu.

As for the eldest son of the second generation, he has long since died in the Second Ninja World War.

"It's just to the south, although there is the Pig Deer Butterfly family, but after all, the strength is limited, and the troops are insufficient. Mito Menyan pulled and pointed to the south of the forest, where Konoha had the fewest troops and was clearly the weakest defense.

"According to the latest information, the watermelon mountain puffer ghost who is the leader of the seven ninja swords has recovered from his injuries, and is gathering troops in the fog and is about to return to the battlefield, according to my estimate, he is likely to lead the team to attack the southern defense line. Mito said, "That's why I asked the village for support." ”

Mingyu was stunned.

At this time, the importance of intelligence was also highlighted, and it was difficult to remain undefeated unless the enemy's movements were known in advance and countermeasures were not taken in time.

"Although you are young, you are already a ninja in charge," Mito Menyan sighed, "with no conscience", "I will send you to lead eight squads to support the southern front, although you are young, but I believe in your ability, and now you are mentally prepared to contribute to Konoha with the will to die?"

Mingyu frowned, this old man obviously has no confidence in himself, this is so long-winded, how can he cheer up his subordinates like this?

But he didn't say anything, his age was there, and it was normal for others to question it, he said lightly: "Don't worry, I will definitely live up to expectations!"

Mito Menyan nodded, took out the pass and personnel list, and said, "Go ahead, they are already waiting for you below." ”

Mingyu glanced at him, a little unhappy in his heart, so he had to take it and follow the assistant downstairs.

I went down to the first floor, walked through the long corridor, and just about to turn the corner, I saw a person Mingyu hadn't seen for a long time but didn't want to see.

Dressed in a Konoha ninja battle suit, he leaned on a pillar, his hands on his chest, his long hair untied, and fell down, revealing the purple magatama around his ears, and the afterglow of the setting sun painted his pale complexion a warm beige, making him look less cold, but he still had an evil smile on his face.

"Orochimaru-sama. The assistant said respectfully.

Orochimaru waved his hand and told the assistant to step down.

"Long time no see, Orochimaru-sensei. Mingyu said lightly.

"It's really not cute at all, I haven't seen you for a year, can't Ming Yujun show a little warmth for me as a teacher?" Orochimaru didn't mind at all, and said with a smile, "I heard that you performed very well in the country of Sichuan, and you are called the Konoha Twin Stars with that kid from Bo Feng Shuimen, I'm very happy for you!"

"It's the time of the war, and Konoha is being attacked on his back, sorry, but I'm not in the mood to laugh. Mingyu said.

Orochimaru said disappointedly: "It seems that this year, you have only become famous, but you have not grown much." ”

Mingyu's eyes narrowed, and he said lightly: "Konoha may be just a residence for the teacher, but for me, there is a reason to have to protect it." ”

The meaning of Mingyu's words is obvious, although we are masters and apprentices, but the Tao is not the same.

"Hmph, Konoha. Orochimaru looked at the sky, his eyes were deep, and his tone was indifferent, "It's just a rotten shell, and it's ridiculous that some people are still clinging to this old shell and refuse to let go." ”

"Don't forget, that shell once gave birth to you, and you are now guarding this shell. ”

Orochimaru's head was tilted, a pair of yellow vertical pupils looked at Mingyu indifferently, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be disdainful and seemed to be a sarcastic smile: "That's not the reason for you to be restrained, as for the reason for me to join the war, hehe......"

He didn't say any more, but Mingyu knew what he meant: "I'm not for Konoha, but for my own revenge." (To be continued.) )
