Minna Gorge

Under the huge moat, the narrow path is full of human figures.

The simple defense projects were quickly constructed, and the traps such as detonators and crossbow arrows along the way were constantly improving with the personnel going back and forth.

At this time, a roar in the distance gradually came, and the Hyuga ninja raised his hand and shouted, "Retreat!" ”

Without hesitation, the people who were setting the trap retreated down the trail above the canyon.

Seeing the destination, he rushed down the canyon in a few dodges, and then climbed quickly up along the cliff.

The Hyuga ninja was about to gather everyone to cover when he saw Suke's speed suddenly increase, and he had returned to his position in the blink of an eye.

Immediately following the rock ninja's footsteps, he looked at the Konoha ninja above the canyon and frowned.

"How many people are on the other side?" The Iwa Shinobi who was the leader turned his head to look at the Ninja of Perception, his eyes glowing with a cold light.

"About three hundred people!"

"Only three hundred people dare to stay here, Konoha ninjas are very arrogant!" A young man stood up with a smile on his face.

"Don't be careless, this place is a well-known moat in the Land of Fire, high at the top and low at the bottom, once someone is stationed, it is very difficult to forcibly conquer it."

"Can't you go around it?" The man's brow furrowed slightly.

"No, Mingluo Gorge is extremely high, near the first front in the north and the sea in the south, this place is still the lowest, if you want to bypass, it is better to take the sea route directly." Iwa Shinobi, who was the leader, shook his head and looked at the figure in the distance with some worry.

The man continued to ask, "What about the Earth Ninjas, how about summoning the Earth Ninja and directly destroying this place?" ”

"No, there are too many ninjas needed, and the other party is not stupid, how can it be possible to watch us perform ninjutsu under their feet, the high and low distances are too large, and their attack range is far from being comparable to us."

"So what to do?" The man was a little speechless in his heart, this is not good, it is not okay, it is better to go home and sleep.

Iwa Shinobu pondered for a moment and looked up and said, "Attack hard!" ”

The man's face tightened, and he said with a hint of hesitation: "This ...... Will the casualties be too heavy, and we only have 1,500 people in total, and we may not be able to take down each other. ”

"Who said that there are only 1,500 people, I have already notified the Sixth Unit and the General Brigade, and when everyone is ready, they will attack and take them in one fell swoop."

Hearing Iwa Shinobi's words, the man still said with some hesitation: "But, captain, if you have such heavy casualties, it will be difficult for you to go back." ”

"Confess! Taking this place is the best explanation. ”

Now the man stopped talking.

Above the canyon, Jie summoned the team leaders for a small meeting.

He spread the map on the ground, pointed to the current position, and said aloud: "Everyone, I suspect that Iwa Shinobi wants to occupy the back road of the second line of defense here, so I hold this place in my hands one step ahead of them, but with our strength, we can only temporarily slow down their steps, and absolutely cannot stop them, do you have any good suggestions for this?" ”

Hearing Jie's words, a young man stood up and said suspiciously: "There are only 1,500 people on the other side, and we are worried about the location, as long as we strictly guard against it, it shouldn't be much of a problem." ”

"It's not that simple, there are still 1,500 Iwa ninja in the direction of ten o'clock, and they are probably waiting for reinforcements if they don't attack now."

"And、If it's really as I expected, this is part of the Iwa Shinobi plan, then they will definitely not give up easily, and there will definitely be more support to arrive in the future."

"Can we seek support from a second line of defense?"

"Of course you can, but since Sand Shinobi dares to do such a thing as sealing the retreat, it means that they have full confidence in besieging the second line of defense, so the second line of defense is probably also stormy."

"Then just suggest that they retreat to Mingluo Gorge! They can't hold it anyway, can they? ”

"That's right!"

"This is also what I am thinking at the moment, but the heads of the second line of defense are Jiraiya and Nara Shikaku, with the ability of the two of them, there is no reason not to see this stake, so why not retreat, you can think about the reason."

Hearing Jie's words, everyone frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, looking at the people who were still thinking, the chief sighed, it's really a bunch of waste wood, and sure enough, none of them worked, forget it, let's send someone to communicate.

He knocked on the ground, drawing everyone's attention and said, "I need a mobile perception team to establish contact with the second line of defense, who is up to the task?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a young man stood up: "Captain, is this mission long-term or temporary?" ”

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"The secret art of our mountain clan can talk within a certain range, I have calculated the distance between the second line of defense and us, if I am in the middle of the two places as a message, then I can communicate with the line of defense anytime and anywhere."

Mind a move, good stuff.

"Very well, what's your name?"

"Takehara in the mountains!"

"Then this task is handed over to you, as the famous pig, deer and butterfly combination, the defense line should have your own ninja Yamanaka Haiichi, communication is not a problem."

"Yes." Yamanaka Takehara nodded.

After thinking about it, Jie took out a blue signal flare and continued: "Take two people with you, this is a signal flare, and if you encounter danger, you can think that you can ask for help from the surrounding Konoha ninja." ”

"Thank you, Captain!" Yamanaka Takehara took the things handed over with a smile on his face,

"Don't thank me, the mission you perform is very important, and you are mainly trying to save your life when you encounter danger." Jie nodded with a hint of appreciation, thanking him for his kindness, much stronger than Firefly.

It is important to know that there is a difference between the flares issued in the village, which are usually divided into four types, red for collection, green for help, and yellow for retreat.

Blue, on the other hand, is also a call for help, but unlike green, blue is a major military call for help, which is far more important than other colors, and it only appears in wartime.

Jiesaku has a tailed beast and has great potential, of course he is qualified to take this kind of thing, but he just takes it and looks at it.

If you really let him use it, he can't use it, without him, it's too embarrassing, and it is embarrassing to let other people give up everything at hand to save him.

And if he can't face it, or even can't escape, other people can only deliver food when they come.

Yamanaka Takehara obviously didn't mind such complicated thoughts, and after he took the signal flare with a happy face, he looked at it in front of everyone without any scruples.

But looking at his style, I was even happier in my heart, such an important thing, my own team members didn't give it, but gave it to a passer-by who contacted information, which doesn't just show that he is very fair in doing things.

For Jie's approach, although everyone is a little cautious in their hearts, they don't have so much jealousy and envy.

First of all, the issuance of this thing is really strict, and people who can't have an impact on the battle situation really can't get it.

Furthermore, this thing is usually regarded as an honor that is valued by the village, and there is not much use for it.

In the end, this is just a super help-seeking tool, no one wants to use it, and if you use it, you have to have Konoha ninjas around, and even if there are Konoha ninjas around, you have to be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive.

Therefore, everyone just has a little more admiration for Jie in their hearts, and there are very few people who are jealous and envious.

After solving the contact problem, Sukee turned his gaze to the map again, what was Iwa Shinobi doing at ten o'clock, what was there, and how could he lure them away or annihilate them, or why not just have a tailed beast jade? Jie frowned and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that the executor was looking at the map and meditating, the others also lowered their heads and thought about the strategy.

Inside the tent of the second line of defense

Zilai also looked at the map with a sad face: "Did the investigators send news?" ”

Nara Lujiu sighed and said, "There is no news, it is estimated that there is less luck." ”

"By the way, are we going to continue to send them?" The assistant on the side interjected.

"Forget it, the sand ninja is watching too closely, I guess our rear has been completely blocked by the sand ninja!" Jiraiya shook his head helplessly.

"Then what should we do, if we continue to consume like this, it will be troublesome if they really encircle us."
