Chapter 490: The Eve (2)
The sky was overcast, rolling clouds covered the land, and a rainstorm seemed to be about to pour.
Although it is already the season of late summer and early autumn, there is still a hint of humidity and mugtry in the air of Kawanokuni.
Between the mountains and ravines, a team of about thirty Konoha ninjas trampled on the rugged and difficult road, chasing the sand ninjas who were frantically fleeing a few hundred meters away.
These Konoha ninjas are all wearing green vests on their upper bodies, their hair is also black, and in their eyes, what emerges is blood-red pupils.
and, a series of non-rotating pitch-black magata.
One shuriken after another, kunai, swished forward like raindrops, eager to tear all the sand ninjas who ran endlessly.
But the distance between the two sides is too far, and the hidden weapon attack is obviously unable to successfully deal with the enemy at an interval of several hundred meters.
Halfway through, they fell to the ground.
The pursuit lasted for more than ten minutes, until they came to a wide river, the Uchiha troops stopped, and none of the unlucky ghosts in the Sand Ninja troops were shot dead by hidden weapons.
Seeing the sand ninjas stepping on the water and gradually moving away, the Uchiha ninja who took the lead spat on the ground and scolded with a sense of obscurity: "These guys, they are running really fast." ”
This Uchiha ninja is about thirty years old, his name is Uchiha Cang, his identity is Kamishinobi, and he is a sub-captain of the third team belonging to the first brigade of the oil girl Shiguro.
The more than thirty Uchiha ninjas beside him are all his subordinates, and the weakest ones also have the strength of the middle ninja.
"Captain Cang, why don't we continue chasing?"
On the left hand side of Uchiha Cang, a young Uchiha ninja asked his captain with a puzzled face, obviously a little unclear about the current situation.
"See the river ahead?" Pointing to the river at his feet, the Uchiha replied irritably, "Orders from above, we can't cross this line. ”
"Why?"
"How do I know......" Waving his hand, Uchiha Cang turned around and motioned for everyone to retreat with him, and at the end, perhaps suddenly thought of something, and added:
"But...... Sha Yin's recent movements are a bit strange, so it's better to be careful. ”
Sunagare's movements were indeed a bit strange - this was the consensus of all the Uchiha ninjas present.
After all, as far as they knew, except for the first team to which they and the others belonged, the other second and third teams against the sand ninja had their strength reduced.
If you look at the map, the northwest is where the Sand Hidden Camp is located, the southeast is where the Konoha Camp is located, and the first brigade is located in the middle of the two camps, in the eastern region of Kawanokuni, near the center.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the first brigade guards the main camp of Konoha and is a direct barrier between Konoha and Sand Hide.
From half a month ago to the present, the pressure faced by other armies has weakened significantly, but the pressure on the first brigade to which he and others belong has suddenly increased greatly.
What this meant, most of the Uchiha ninjas present had a vague understanding:
Sha Yin was afraid that he was drawing troops from other aspects, and he did not intend to continue to entangle with Konoha in the country of Kawano, but concentrated the main direction of attack in the east, pointing at the base camp of Konoha with his sword.
So...... Could it be that this is going to be a decisive battle?
Everyone's minds were full of thoughts, but when they saw the Uchiha Cang gradually moving away, they also suppressed their thoughts and followed, looking at their expressions, they didn't show too much abnormality, at most they were a little excited before the big war.
After all......
In any case, no matter how the battle situation develops, no matter how it changes, there is an incomparably strong blood inheritance limit of the Sharingan, and the average combat effectiveness of the Uchiha clan is not weak, and all of them ......
They will all survive to the end.
The encounter between the Uchiha detachment and the Sand Ninja force ended with the Sand Ninja leaving behind a dozen corpses and the rest fleeing in a hurry, and none of the Uchiha Ninja died.
But this scene, in the eastern part of the country of Sichuan, in the vast battle situation of about 100 square kilometers, is only a small microcosm, and it is not very common.
More on that......
More than a dozen kilometers away from the battlefield between the Uchiha ninja and the sand ninja, another encounter also started at the same time, still the sand ninja vs. the Konoha ninja.
"There are few of them, go on!"
Looking at the five or six Konoha ninjas dozens of meters away, a sand ninja wearing a white turban on his head and an earthy yellow vest roared angrily, and he didn't look at his teammates behind him, and directly began to seal.
Suddenly, several pale cyan blades several meters long emerged, drawing arcs in the air, slicing towards the enemies not far away.
The sharp and piercing sound of the wind whistled and swept by, and when the Konoha ninjas were caught off guard, the two leading middle ninjas did not snort, and their bodies were cut into several pieces, and bright red blood spilled into the air.
Seeing this, the three Konoha ninjas who followed hurriedly glanced at the location where the attack came, and when they saw that there were more than ten enemies, they turned around and ran without thinking about it, without the slightest intention of collecting the corpses of their companions.
Then, another pursuit began.
Not to mention the life and death of the remaining three Konoha ninjas, just in the eastern part of the country of Kawano, battles are happening almost every moment, and the intensity is several orders of magnitude higher than before.
Encounters, pursuits, ambushes, skirmishes...... All kinds of tactics are intertwined, and the casualty numbers of Sand Hide and Konoha skyrocket, and the reason for the fight is not paid attention to.
How to kill the enemy is the only concern of all ninjas.
More than half a month has passed since the incident in which half of Konoha's transport troops were stolen by Sunagakure.
Lei Luo sensed the intention of the decisive battle and the direction of the main attack, so he mobilized Orochimaru's second brigade to withdraw from the southern front and hurried to the western front to guard against the intensifying offensive of the sand hide.
The combined strength of the two brigades is about 1,000 people, and these 1,000 people are the backbone of the Konoha ninja army, so it is not too much of a problem to resist the sand ninja army, which is now much inferior to the previous one.
After all, in the past two years, the Konoha ninjas on all fronts have suppressed the sand ninjas very well, whether it is the gap in high-end combat power or the gap in morale, Sand Hide has long been no opponent of Konoha.
Including at this moment, the countless battles that continue to start in the eastern part of the country of Kawanoku, although the Konoha side is slightly inferior in numbers, it can still occupy a certain advantage.
The First Brigade and the Second Brigade can not only firmly hold their original positions, but elite troops like the Uchiha Detachment and the Flying Thunder God Commando can sometimes stab into the sand hinterland like a sharp knife.
It's just that because he didn't know what hole cards Sha Yin had prepared in the past two years, and Hyuga Ring's reconnaissance didn't have much gain, Lei Luo made a death order: not to allow his troops to go too deep into the area occupied by Sand Yin.
And this is also the reason why Uchiha Cang stopped at the river and did not choose to continue the pursuit.
The battle situation is getting more and more anxious, and if you look down from the sky, you can see that most of the ninjas of Konoha and Sand Hidden are hovering in the eastern part of Kawanokuni, pulling back and forth in a dog-tooth pattern, and the battle hardly stops.
The feeling of depression before the coming of the big war shrouded the hearts of everyone on the battlefield, whether it was a sand ninja or a Konoha ninja, everyone knew that the decisive battle was not far away.
What is going on now may be the final temptation.
