Chapter 27: The War Between Ninja Villages
On January 20, the sixth year of Konoha was first established, Mirai led 5,000 Konoha ninja troops to the western border of the Fire Country, preparing to meet the Wind and Earth Alliance.
At the same time, the Uchiha clan is waging war against the Senju clan. In one day, more than a dozen large, medium and small cities were conquered with a blitzkrieg, which stunned everyone in the Fire Country.
There is no time to pay attention to the undying battle between the Uchiha and Senju, and the opponent this time in the future will be the ninja group of the two great powers. Judging from the number of ninjas alone, Konoha is at an absolute disadvantage.
Facing the enemy on both sides, he will lead the Konoha Ninja Force to temporarily station on the western border of the Fire Country, and at the same time send a reconnaissance team to collect enemy intelligence.
After many reconnaissances, the future and the Konoha Shinobi who went on this expedition began a pre-war meeting with the Konoha Shinobi, Matsumoto Ranju, Makumura Takashi and the leaders of the various ninja clans.
"Although the Sand Ninja and Iwa Shinobi claim to be 30,000 wind and soil alliances, after our reconnaissance, the real strength of the enemy should be around 20,000...... one of the upper shinobi said during the meeting.
"What about the dynamics of the enemy?" Future asked.
"This morning, the front reported that the sand ninja has assembled on the eastern border of the country of wind, and has a tendency to move eastward, and the Iwa ninja has now crossed the border of the land country, and their vanguard has entered the country of grass. The sand ninja and the Iwa ninja did not march in the form of a coalition army. The shinobi replied.
"It seems that Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja want to go hand in hand, so let's take care of one and lose the other." The patriarch of the oil girl clan present spoke.
"There should already be a ninja village in the country of grass, right, what is their attitude towards the Iwa ninja?" Future thought for a moment and asked.
"Yes, the ninja village in the country of grass was established five months ago and is called the village of Kusakure. They showed no dissatisfaction with Iwa Shinobi's actions, and they evacuated civilians on the way of Iwa Shinobi's march, which was analyzed to mean to be a bystander. Said the ninja in charge of intelligence gathering and analysis.
"We gave up the opportunity to choose, so as to gain the initiative that is difficult to have as a weak country, and choose wisely." Chen Yeyuan's eyes shone with wisdom. According to the practice of the grass ninja, neither Konoha nor Iwa Shinobi will do anything too much to harm the interests of the country in the country of grass. On the contrary, Konoha and Iwakure also compete to win over Kusa Shinobi in order to gain the support of Kusa Shinobi.
"The problems we are facing now are very serious," said Future Zhengrong, "first of all, we are in a weak position in terms of the number of people on both sides; Secondly, there is the issue of the enemy's troop disposition, because of the disparity in troop strength, it is difficult for us to fight on both sides. ”
"Actually, the enemy is attacking from both sides, which just gives us a chance to break through, as long as we eliminate one of them before the Sand Ninja and Iwa Shinobi meet, then ......," Chen Ye Yuan analyzed.
"That's right......" everyone in the room nodded in agreement.
"So which side should we deal with first?" Someone asked.
"Sha Shinobi lives in the desert all year round, and after environmental training, his personal combat strength is strong, and he is not easy to deal with......
"And I'm afraid that the sand ninja will not engage in the first place, and when we attack, if they retreat into the desert......"
Everyone deliberated for a while, and finally decided to deal with Iwa Shinobi first.
"In that case, I led a thousand ninjas to the country of grass to deal with the Iwa Shinobi, and the rest of the people were led by the upper ninja minister Noyuan, and dragged the sand ninja in the country of Kawa until I defeated the Iwa Shinobi. Remember, the other party has a tail, tread carefully! Future said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
As soon as the meeting ended, the future ordered a thousand Konoha ninjas to leave. At the same time, in order to find out the specific movements of the enemy and gain the initiative, at the beginning of the future, a nine-person elite team led by Suzukae Hachiki was dispatched to take the lead in the front line of the country of grass.
In the future plan, it is to intercept Iwa Shinobi in the territory of the country of grass and avoid burning the Sengoku to the land of fire. After years of war, there isn't much left in the Fire Nation to destroy.
……
The Land of Grass is a small country bordered by four countries. Its southeast, northwest, and southeast, respectively, are the land of fire, the country of rain, the country of earth, and the country of taki.
From the perspective of the entire terrain, the country of grass is in the middle of a forest. Within its borders, the vegetation coverage is quite remarkable. In addition, the topography of the country of grass is highly varied, and there are many mountain streams and ravines, so the importance of bridges in the country occupies the first place among many land countries.
Mirai and the Konoha ninjas moved quickly, and after only eight hours, everyone reached the border of the Grass Country.
After notifying the advance team to come and report on the enemy's situation, the troops were ordered to establish temporary positions in the future.
"There are not many Iwa ninja vanguard troops who have entered the country of grass, only about 2,000 people, mainly composed of the Kamizu-ryu clan and a ninja army called 'Shigeiwa'......" Suzukae Hachiki faced the future and revealed what he knew.
"Shangshui Liu......" Future's heart moved, remembering that this is a ninja clan with a secret technique of controlling bees, and the oil girl of the insect clan is a mortal enemy.
"Nobunaga, do you know about Kamisui Current?" Mirai asked a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses next to him.
"So that the bees have heard of it." Nobunaga, the oil girl, nodded.
"Tomorrow you lead the oil girl clan to stop the Iwa Shinobi, remember, don't win." Future commanded.
"Don't win...... I understand. Nobunaga lifted her sunglasses, and the black lenses shone brightly.
"Ling Feng, you and the advance team stay away from the battlefield first, don't intervene in the battle, and wait for my orders." The future said.
"Yes!"
……
The next day, three hundred ninjas of the Oil Girl clan set out under the leadership of their patriarch, Oil Girl Nobunaga. Just after the Oil Girl clan set off, Future commanded the remaining Konoha ninjas to build a circular defensive position. Several narrow arc-shaped lines of defense were formed, blocking the path of Iwa Shinobi.
While the Konoha ninjas were busy building fortifications, on the other side, the Oil Girl clan had already exchanged fire with the Iwa ninja.
On the side of the Iwa Shinobi, the Shangshui Clan has always been the leader of the investigation, and this time there is no accident. So, a war between insects began.
The yellow mutant bee colony and the black sea of insects live and die in this square kilometer forest. If the battle of the Worm Clan is different from the battle of ordinary ninjas, if the battle of ordinary ninjas is a battle between soldiers, then the battle of the Worm Clan is like a duel between two chess players. There are no excessive body movements, and some are just killing machines hidden under the sea of insects.
After a long battle, the yellow sea overshadowed the black sea of insects and gained the upper hand.
Seeing that nothing could be done, the oil girl clan retreated very decisively. With the assistance of Konoha follow-up ninjas, the Oil Girl clan returned to their camp almost without casualties.
After the first day's small test of skills, both Iwa Shinobi and Konoha tacitly stopped moving. Both sides are preparing for the next battle, both in terms of material and manpower, as well as in intelligence.
As the first war between major powers, the commander of Iwa Shinobi was very calm and did not underestimate his opponent because he had a slight advantage on the first day. In the days that followed, most of Iwa Shinobi's actions were mainly tempting and harassing, and the Shangshui Stream clan came forward.
Every day, the Konoha ninjas can hear the buzzing of bees, and sometimes they have auditory hallucinations.
Iwa Shinobi's caution made the future quite dull, and this situation was completely different from what he had expected.
I thought that after the Shangshui Clan defeated the Oil Girl Clan, Iwa Shinobi would come to the door in one go. Then, after a little resistance, the enemy abandons the position and retreats, thus luring the enemy deeper and lengthening the opponent's supply line. Finally, he ordered the ambushed advance team to cut the bridges in the territory of the Grass Country and achieve the strategic goal of cutting off the supply line of Iwa Shinobi...... However, Iwashinobi's reaction was to interrupt future plans.
And on the other side, Sha Shinobi has already invaded the country of Kawa on a large scale, and the Konoha side has entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat. The situation cannot be continued in the future, and he needs to get rid of the current embarrassing situation as soon as possible.
