Chapter 21: The Most Damned Man
Because of the sudden attack, the tools placed everywhere in the camp were thrown to the ground in a mess, and a considerable part of the ingredients could not be used, which made the fat man feel very distressed for a while.
All the men were gathered, and it took a lot of effort to clear the camp.
To make matters worse, a scout squad saw the smoke rising from the woods, and it seemed that the enemy did not intend to leave just like that.
"Sasaki, we're going to have to rearrange the traps." Looking at the destroyed traps, if the traps are placed in the original location, the probability of being discovered is too great.
"The trap is no problem, but I think our wall is too simple, and there is no way to use joint ninjutsu inside the wall to give full play to our numerical advantage." Sasaki is the best at setting traps in the camp, so it is necessary for Uehara to listen to his words.
"It's easy to do with a wall." Squatting down, Uehara took out the kunai and drew it on the ground. "We can build a staircase-like wall." In fact, Uehara's inspiration for this came from the Fourth Shinobi War. The troops guarding the coastline of the Omoi Division of the Ninja Coalition relied on the stepped defense line of the coastline, which greatly exerted the firepower advantage of the defenders. The first wave of the Bai Jue army that came from the bottom of the sea was completely suppressed by the firepower network composed of shuriken, and the results were not great.
Uehara was drawing while explaining to Sasaki. "At the highest level, people who know long-range ninjutsu such as Tuling Danzi stand on the top, and use long-range ninjutsu to disperse a large group of enemies as much as possible, not giving the enemy a chance to concentrate on breaking through our defenses, and at the same time kill and injure the enemy as much as possible."
Sasaki listened as he drew a rough sketch in his notebook. The habit of taking notes was spread by Uehara, and it has been proven to be effective by more and more classes, and has gradually become a must-have item after daily training in each class. Listening to Uehara's explanation, Sasaki wrote the words "Remote Ninjutsu" on the highest step.
"The second step, a little lower than the highest step, we concentrate all the kunai here, and those with good shuriken scores are concentrated on this floor, suppressing the enemy with dense kunai." Firepower is justice, a theory born in the era of aircraft and artillery, is deeply ingrained in Uehara's heart.
"As for the third layer, it's good to be a little higher than the ground, choose a body type ninja, and besides, the Iwataka spear is perfect for dealing with the enemy's miscellaneous fish."
Watching Sasaki finish his notes, "Is there anything else you want to add?" ”
"I have a question, Uehara." Sasaki frowned and thought for a moment. "This kind of step-like wall can be easily climbed by the enemy."
"We use this wall as a combat position. As for the walls of daily vigilance...... "Uehara drew another circle on the outside with kunai," "It's good to add another layer of ordinary walls to the outside." Still have questions? ”
"Yes, the first layer of high walls selects people who have mastered long-range ninjutsu, the second layer selects those who are good at shuriken, and the third layer is good at physical arts and short-range ninjutsu. If a person has two or three at the same time, which comes first? "In the entire detachment, perhaps only Sasaki can keep up with Uekahara's whimsical thinking.
After thinking carefully for a long time, Uehara said to Sasaki, "Long-range ninjutsu is the first priority, shuriken is second, and physical art is last." Compared with those wandering samurai, our advantage is ninjutsu and accurate shuriken, and physical skills are our least advantage, so try to play the role of ninjutsu and shuriken as much as possible, and avoid the confrontation of physical arts, which will minimize our casualties. "With one's own strengths and hitting others' shortcomings, this is one of the prerequisites for victory, how could Uehara not know how to use it.
"By the way, aren't we suffering enough?" Uehara's concern is not unreasonable, with the hand speed of a ninja throwing five or six rounds a second, there is no such thing as kunai, which is not enough.
"I don't know."
"Then I'll have to do the math." Uehara scratched his head in annoyance.
"Assemble the classes!" Hearing Uehara's order, the busy classes put down the work at hand and walked over.
"Each class hands over all the kunai, and everyone distributes it uniformly."
Waiting for each class to hand over the kunai one after another, it was full of piles.
"The first class of ghosts, the big stone class, help with the inventory, the others, disband!"
When the count was finished, there were less than 2,000 kunai.
"Sasaki, you lead the classes to test and pick out the person with the best shuriken score, and choose thirty first."
Bitter is not enough, Uehara racked his brains to think of other ways. "Bow and arrow...... It's not good to do, stone ...... It's too much effort, there it is. "Uehara had in mind the javelin, and against the unarmored wandering samurai, with the strong strength of that Spider Maru, it should have a good effect.
Looking around, some people were preparing to modify the walls with Earth Escape Ninjutsu, some were rearranging traps, some were guarding outside, and everyone was busy with their hands and feet, making javelins, and Uehara had to come by himself.
The most primitive javelin, after choosing a relatively straight branch and sharpening the end, is a lethal javelin. As for the more sophisticated ones, they will also be equipped with iron tips and suitable counterweights.
There is no iron spear head, however, Uehara has always had the habit of picking up rags, and the kunai that was damaged by other classes of training was all obtained by him by various means, and thanks to his advantage, in just one and a half months, he collected more than 400 kunai that could no longer be used.
Cut off a branch of moderate length, prune off the forks of the branches, and then sharpen the old kunai and tie it tightly with wire. A rudimentary javelin will be done. I made more than a dozen of them, and it didn't matter if it was good or not, Uehara picked it up and went to find the spider pill.
I found someone from the medical class, but Spider Pill was not there, and when I went to the Spider Pill class, I happened to meet him.
"Spider Maru, you're there. Let's try my newly made ninja gear! Uehara threw a bundle of javelins on his shoulder to the ground and motioned for Spidermaru to try.
"You call this thing a ninja?" For the arrogant Uehara, Spider Maru despised for a while.
Uehara himself felt embarrassed, the supplies were too scarce, so he had to come.
Weighing the weight with his hands, Spidermaru used all his strength, his arm leaned back, and with a whoosh, the javelin flew higher and higher until it disappeared through the woods.
"Good! Not bad! Uehara cheered for Spidermaru.
"What's good, it's too floating, it's not accurate at all, I'm going to shoot that big tree." Spider Pill angrily refuted Uehara's sentence.
Picked up another one, stepped forward a few steps, this time the distance was very close, as the javelin flew out of his hand, and with a bang, the javelin hit the trunk of the tree heavily, and the kunai at the front end pierced nearly half, and the branch made a javelin shaft, but it was broken in two because of the strong force.
"The power is okay, Spider Maru, we don't have enough shurikens, let's go, come with me to our class, we have a bunch of old kunai there, you need to make them all into javelins." I can't help but pull the reluctant Spider Pill away, and what awaits Spider Pill next will be a boring and long job.
Until noon, Uehara didn't handle the work at hand, until the fat man called him over for dinner.
Since handing over all the three meals of the 14th detachment to the Aikawa class, each class has rarely cooked for itself. The lunch brought back by the fat man was quite hearty, porridge, salted fish, wild vegetables, and rice balls.
"The porridge is good, I've had enough of salted fish." They all complained about Spider Pill and caught almost all the fish in the river, and as a result, the entire 14th detachment had to consume a serious surplus of salted fish with him.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge, Uehara was about to say something, when suddenly there was a tingling pain in his abdomen, and he spit it out with a wow, with a bloody streak.
"Uehara! What happened to you! Shelersa, go call the medical class! Uehara is the backbone of the three people, and when they saw Uehara's embarrassed appearance, the fat man and Shelesa panicked.
"No hurry, no hurry, it's okay, sit down and eat!" To put it mildly, he finally appeased the two of them.
"It should be bruising, just spit it out, I was almost kicked to death today." The danger of the battle, Uehara tried not to talk about it in front of the fat man and Xuelesa.
"You should call our ......," Schelle complained.
"The camp can't do without you, didn't you see that I only went out with Sasaki in the end? Don't worry, don't worry about me, say that we will live together, it's still early for the end of the ninja war, so I won't die so easily. Feeling comfortable in his stomach, Uehara carefully drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, felt that there was no problem, and ate in a big gulp, he was fighting and busy today, and he was already hungry.
"That's right, fatty." Seeing that the fat man opened his mouth and wanted to say something, Uehara hurriedly blocked his words. "Do you want a knife, it's that kind of long knife...... Uehara opened his arms and exaggeratedly compared, "It's probably that long......"
"Want it? I knew I was going to pick up two for you, but Sasaki and I killed a lot of enemies today. Just kick my guy, do you know, I was blown up 800 meters by a detonation charm, hahahaha...... "The people in his own class are together, and Uehara brags uncontrollably, which is nothing more than others exposing his lies."
"Uehara, Yukino is injured, she's okay." Shelersha asked. In the entire detachment, there are more than 60 people, and there are less than 20 girls, and it is normal for them to have a good relationship.
"Yukino, it's serious, but she was already resting when I went to see it, so it should be fine. But Spider Pill is fine, he just has an extra scar on his face, and the rhino is fine......"
Before Uehara finished speaking, Xuelesa burst out laughing, and as for the fat man, he was already laughing and couldn't get up on the table.
"I said, everyone, what are you laughing at?" Uehara was puzzled.
"I'll tell you about it, hahahaha......" said that he wanted to tell Uehara about it, but the fat man lay on the table and convulsed, seeing that he couldn't live to laugh, Xuelesa had to take his words: "After Yukino woke up, he saw his face become like that, crying to death, and then the wood-like spider pill said, "Okay, okay, it's no big deal to be ugly, I'll be ugly with you, and then he took Kunai and cut a scar on his face, and the angry Yukino jumped up and bit him, and he still has tooth marks on his face, hahahaha- "It's over, Shelersha can't live with a smile.
No wonder he didn't look like anything at that time. It's amazing, Spider Pill is stupid, and he even has a talent for flirting with girls. Uehara secretly thought in his heart that his gossip soul was rising.
——
In the evening, the three squad leaders did not choose to stay with the members of their own class, but stayed together to discuss things.
"There's nothing to say, everything that needs to be done has been done. Let's talk about something else, let's say, after the end of the war. Shang Yuan said without a mouthful of hot tea.
"After the war is over, I want to continue my practice." After making hundreds of javelins, Spidermaru was tired today, and he lazily lay down and talked to Uehara.
"When you practice, remember to bring Xue Nayo!" Uehara teased with bad intentions.
"Yes! I'm going to marry Yukino after the war. The Rock Spider clan is a wealthy family, and although Spider Pill is the most useless one, I can still do it if I give Xue Nai a luxurious wedding. To Uehara's surprise, Spidermaru said with a solemn face, and Uehara was embarrassed to tease again.
"Rock spiders, why haven't I heard of it?"
"Of course you haven't heard of it!" Spider Pill said angrily, "Sycamore said that your head was kicked and broken, and you can't remember anything from before." We have a lot of houses, and we have time to take you to play. ”
"Uh, how old are you, Spidermaru."
"Fourteen."
"Does Yukino agree?"
"No." Spider Maru pointed to the necklace around his neck, which was Yukino's.
"Well, don't you think it's too early to get married at fourteen?" Uehara felt that the three views had been impacted, and the children in the ninja world were a little too precocious.
"Isn't it normal to get married at the age of fourteen, besides, the devil knows how long the war will last, and when the war is over, I guess I will be the uncle of the new ninja." No matter where Sasaki is, he has a knife in his hand, and Uehara asked him about it, what kind of sword heart did he say, sword intent, anyway, Uehara didn't understand a word.
"Anyway, everyone else has a girlfriend, Sasaki, you're so handsome, there should be a lot of girls who like it."
"Yes, I like Minako, our family used to be in the Iron Country, and their family and ours were neighbors." When talking about Minako, Sasaki looked yearning, and even stopped his action of wiping the long knife. "If, after the war is over, I go to the Iron Country to propose to Minako, she will probably agree." He smirked, his expression exactly the same as Spidermaru's appearance when he mentioned Yukino.
"Uehara, what about you, what about the girl you like, is it Shilersa?"
"People are together with Sycamore, me...... Not at the moment. ”
Since Uehara is a single dog, Spidermaru and Sasaki don't treat him as the same kind of person, completely ignoring Uehara, while muttering non-stop, slowly talking about where to hold the wedding when the time comes.
"I envy you, but don't die, Spider Maru, Sasaki, Sycamore, Shilersa, and everyone. Speaking of which, the most damned person in the entire ninja world is probably me, and this world has nothing to do with me...... Don't die until I'm dead. In the future, leave the most dangerous things to me, forget it if you die, maybe you will go back if you die......" Uehara somehow looked confused and muttered to himself.
"Hey, Uehara, you're so stupid, we awesome guys aren't dead, how could it be your turn. I'll tell you, Spider Maru, today Uehara was kicked eight feet away and fell into a mouthful of mud, hahahaha......" Uehara's muttering was heard by Sasaki, who patted Uehara the shoulder and laughed.
Uehara was awakened, "Nonsense, it's obvious that I jumped eight feet away to dodge the ......enemy's twenty ninjutsu attacks."
