Since the storm, it has not rained in Shayin Village for nearly two months.

The entire Land of Winds, except for the land of rain and the country of rivers, which barely received some precipitation, suffered from a super drought that had been rare for many years.

In the eyes of ordinary people, there is no time when there is no drought in the desert area, which is already hot and rainless, but only the aborigines in it can experience that it is estimated that it will be a difficult season at the turn of spring and summer this year.

There are already one of the few desert oases suitable for human habitation, and drinking water is estimated to be a problem.

At this time, it is the busiest season for the sand ninjas, assisting the residents whose homes have been destroyed to move and take refuge, digging rock wells to obtain groundwater for emergency relief, and so on.

Requests for help from all over the country were sent in an endless stream, and because of the urgency of the situation, there were much fewer quarrels in the village.

Even the Iara, Temari, and Kankuro squads, which were rarely sent out, were dispatched urgently from time to time.

In contrast, Daimaru, Yame, and Chito, who were busy with the training of the air battle team, were not so busy.

But today, it seems that such leisurely days have come to an end.

Ryusha, who was in charge of the assignment, crossed his fingers with his hands, supported his chin, and waited for Daimaru to answer with a grim look in his eyes.

Omaru, who had been called over temporarily, looked at the task book in his hand with an ugly face.

"The Desert Locust Plague is coming? It's just this time ......"

With the help of ninjas, there is still a way to alleviate the dilemma of drought and water shortage, but the desert locust plague is not a problem that can be easily solved.

"Whenever a big drought comes, the desert locust plague is like a shadow, which is also something that cannot be helped, but this year seems to be a little more serious......

Longsha sighed helplessly.

Even ninjas who have mastered extraordinary powers are somewhat powerless in the face of overwhelming locusts.

At present, even if the Sand Hidden Village is poured out, there are only more than 10,000 ninjas, and there are many old, weak, sick and disabled people who are useless.

Spend two or three months mobilizing for war, maybe a little more. But in front of the desert locusts in the number of hundreds of millions, it is not enough to see at all.

With that time to prepare, the desert locust plague may have spread to the land of fire.

More than a decade ago, the Land of Winds also experienced a severe locust plague caused by a drought, causing countless losses, including the largest wave of locust swarms, conservatively estimated to number more than 10 billion. Everywhere I went, the only oasis was white.

Hungry locusts, although they do not hunt, can really bite, including the unfortunate death of humans, animal carcasses, and even the remains of the same kind, may become their meal.

That natural disaster was also an indirect driver of the attack on Konoha Village by Sand Hidden Village and the provocation of the Third Ninja World War.

I really can't live anymore, who cares about you so much, let's talk about it.

This desert locust plague is not as good as it was more than ten years ago, but it is also quite terrifying.

"What is the village going to do?"

Long Sha replied in a deep voice:

"Abandon all the oases in the southwest, urgently evacuate the inhabitants there, and establish an isolated line of defense from the south to the northwest to minimize the impact of the desert locust plague......"

The essence of the country of wind is located in places with slightly more precipitation near the land of earth, rain and river, and most of the southwest is uninhabited, except for fishermen who make a living from the sea near the sea.

There is no way to concentrate on it, keep the core, and give up some corners that you can't scrupulously about.

"What is my mission?"

Ryūsha took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"The task of exterminating the locusts is very urgent, the village is only trying its best to maintain it, and we ninjas are only flesh and blood in the end, whether it is physical strength or chakra, they are limited, and their mobility is far from keeping up with the speed of the locusts......

"So, do you need air support......

Daimaru suddenly understood in his heart.

No matter which world, which line of work, those who can go to the top level are not fools.

There may not have been an intuitive impression before, but how can it not be seen nowadays the great role of air combat ninjas?

"The village spent a lot of money to form this ninja army, not for the sake of good looks, but to really come in handy. It's still a short time, the fighting ability is certainly not worth mentioning, and we are not going to ask for more unkindly, and those little children have already exceeded expectations. However, the opponent is a group of bugs, so it doesn't necessarily mean that you can't deal with it......"

Long Sha glanced deeply at the young man in front of him:

"Orochi, you have to understand that although the situation is critical this time, the village has also been tested for a long time, and even if there is no air team, it can cope with this natural disaster, it is only a matter of time and how much loss. If you and your subordinates behave well, you will be able to solve problems more calmly! Can we trust you and those little ones? ”

"Yes!"

Daimaru replied categorically.

"Very good, go and get the code book for this special combat mission, and all the necessary materials such as pesticides, soldier food pills, and healing medicine have been prepared. If there is no doubt, gather your men and set off immediately......"

"No problem! By the way, the Konoha ninjas are preparing to return tomorrow, and if I am not there, I don't know what will be arranged? ”

"Don't worry, I've already communicated with them, they plan to take the initiative to stay for a while longer, to help a little bit of their ability, and the village is not good at refusing their kindness, and ......"

Long Sha waved his hand and explained,

"The village has sent a request for help to Konoha Village, and soon, there will be a worm envoy from the Oil Girl family to come to support, and after the matter is over, it will be good to return with the Konoha ninjas who came to communicate......"

"I see, I see......"

With the help of those masters who play with bugs, it's no wonder that the village is so confident, and its expectations for the air team are also very low, as long as they can do a little thing that is icing on the cake, they are very satisfied, as for whether they can become the mainstay of turning the tide, no one has this hope.

Out of the gate of the House of Wind Shadows, Daimaru did not hesitate to rise into the sky, taking advantage of the wind to sweep by, and soon came to the training base.

Interrupted the demonstration of Yame and Chi explaining the actual combat skills to those students.

"Training and learning are over! There is an urgent task ......"

Daimaru ordered succinctly,

"Although you are not officially ninjas yet, you should be aware of the ninja who is about to become one. Now, put on your wingsuit armor and get ready to go......"

As he spoke, Orochimaru handed the topographic map of the defensive line to Yame, and asked Chiba to put it away.

When I turned around, I found that those students didn't seem to react, and they were still stunned on the spot.

"Can't understand the order? After five minutes, if you're not ready to go, get out of here and don't come again......"
