Chapter 87: Eight Months
At the beginning of Konoha 43, the southwest border. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the junction of the country of rivers and the country of fire. At this time, the number of ninjas on the Southwest Frontier had reached 1,038. At first, the southwest was a small battlefield, and the ninjas of the two sides combined were less than five hundred.
But as time passed, Konoha was reinforced, and the Sand Ninja Village began to reinforce as well. The scale of the war is slowly expanding.
The ninjas of the two sides had a tacit understanding at the time of the spring festival, and neither attacked. It's just a confrontation on the border between the Land of the River and the Land of Fire.
In January of Konoha 44, all 1,038 ninjas from Konoha on the southwestern border of the Fire Country were dispatched. Attack the Sand Shinobi in the River Country.
The war lasted two months and was extremely brutal, with 880 dead and wounded on both sides than in the previous half.
880 may not seem like much, but you must know that the number of ninjas in the two villages combined is more than 40,000 to 50,000. Reaching a terrifying one percent. Neither country expected the war to be so tragic.
In the war between the Fire Country and the Wind Country so far, Konoha has sacrificed more than 1,500 ninjas. The Land of the Winds is even more miserable, with more than 2,000 people.
In the aftermath of this war, the two countries were held in the center of the River Country. Straddling the entire border between the two countries.
Eight months into the war, other countries were secretly playing games with each other. Finally, the other four countries couldn't help it, April of Konoha 43. They saw that the in their brains between the ninjas of the two countries came out.
The three countries began to invade, co-opt, deter, and absorb benefits to invade the neighboring countries.
The other three countries began to move from the secret to the open. The buffer country between the five powers, the country of grass, the country of birds, the country of soup, the country of waves, and the country of vortex are full of sorrow. A small country with a ninja village began to rebel, and a village without a small country could only be slaughtered.
Only one small country was spared, and that was the Land of Rain, a border country of wind, fire, and earth. Why can't their country be spared?
It is because during the Second Ninja World War, the land of rain was the border country of wind and fire. Wantonly trampled on by three countries, but they did not give in. Under the leadership of the demigod Hanzo. Fight against three countries at the same time.
Although the three great powers could not be driven out in the end, the war still took place in the Land of Rain. But it also made the three countries realize that Hanzo's iron blood is strong. Since then, the three countries have deliberately chosen the location of the battle at other junctions.
Of course, the three generations of Hokage would not allow the other three countries to invade the country like this. Just like China will not allow the United States to invade North Korea.
And you know, the Land of Fire is located in the center of the continent. If the neighboring country is occupied by the other three countries. That's really surrounded.
So in an instant, the leaves resisted the soil and the grass, and the anti-lightning soup happened. The same is true of the country of wind, which resists the soil and helps the birds.
All of a sudden. The country of earth and the country of thunder can only stalemate with the country of fire in the country of grass and soup. The Land of Earth is also stalemate with the Wind Country in the Land of Birds.
Because of the grim form of the entire ninja world, the country of fire and the country of wind are also temporarily stalemate in the country of rivers.
In May, June, and February, the entire ninja world is in a delicate balance. Nor did the two countries dare to continue to invade small countries, if they continue. It is likely that it will turn into a scuffle between the five great powers.
But the balance was soon shattered by an island country, that is, a country of water that is not above the mainland. Because there are no ninja villages in the country of Vortex and the country of waves, all of them surrendered after being invaded.
The three generations of Hokage looked at it, what is the water country fog ninja for? There is no fig leaf of resisting water aid vortex and water aid waves. It has become a naked struggle between two countries, water and fire.
So the fig leaf is important, and the scale of the war between the two countries is getting bigger and bigger. From the death of one or two people at the beginning, it has evolved to two or three a day now.
At the beginning of July of Konoha 44, the Land of Water declared war on the Land of Fire. Begin the naked invasion. Thanks to the troops deployed next to the Land of Water before the start of the war, and one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru, was in charge, and he perfectly blocked the invasion of the ninjas of the Land of Water.
The Land of Fire is at war with the Land of Water and the Land of Wind at the same time, which is very bad. Three generations of Hokage decided to end the war. At least one country should be addressed first.
After some consideration, the three generations of Hokage decided to send ninjas from various Konoha families to support the Mizunokuni battlefield. Stabilize the situation first. Then let the Konoha ninjas gather in the Land of Wind.
After the three generations of Hokage, they began to contact the Land Country, and the Land of Thunder wanted to form an alliance against the Water Country. But none of the politicians are stupid, they are all shrewd. Not fooled.
The three generations of Hokage don't know, they will definitely not agree. The purpose of this is to make the outside world think that the next center of Konoha is the land of water.
After a month of slow transfer, the three generations of Hokage successfully concealed the whole world. Two thousand ninjas were transported to the battlefield of the Land of the Wind. Intelligence officers throughout the Riverland battlefield are operating quickly and passing on battle plans.
The four-month-long standoff, coupled with Konoha going to war with the Land of Water at the same time, made the sand shinobi let down his guard. They thought they could sit back and relax and watch the war between Konoha and the Land of Water consume, they only needed to wait for Konoha to be exhausted, and then launch an attack to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
This tactic was very similar to the confusion tactics used by Germany and the Soviet Union during the partition of Poland. Before World War II began. Hitler's image to the outside world has always been extremely disgusted with Soviet communism, and Hitler's image has succeeded in confusing the whole world. Let Britain and France strongly support the German invasion of the Soviet Union.
After that, Germany and the Soviet Union secretly signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact" and carved up Poland in a blitzkrieg. Britain and France found out that they had been fooled, and Germany was still the Allies first. World War II broke out.
This time the three generations of Hokage succeeded in confusing the other four countries, after the Land of Water declared war on the Land of Fire. The news that came out of Konoha was all a deep hatred for the land of water, and he must do it first. Even Konoha's low-level ninjas believe that Konoha must be the land of water first, and the defense line of the wind will be good as long as it is stalemate.
On August 9, Konoha 44, the number of Konoha ninjas on the battlefield of the country of rivers had reached as many as 5,000. There are a full five hundred more than the sand ninja. Two months of hard work is for this day.
Shinobi Erie of Sand Ninja Village, as usual, walked out of the camp to inspect the defensive line. He was very relaxed and didn't think there was danger.
On the one hand, it has been six months since there has been a major conflict, and during this time neither country has more than a hundred ninja deaths. On the other hand, because of the above, the Fire Country is busy fighting Konoha and the River Country battlefield has become a secondary target, and stability is the main goal. This is an outcome that both countries would like to see.
Erie walked to the edge of the forest and made his rounds separately from the team. Nothing happened here, unusually calm.
Wind Escape, Gale Palm!
His body was covered in blood, and his teammates were attacked separately at the same time.
