Chapter 100: Advancing to the country of Sichuan
The country of the river, the buffer country between the two great powers of the land of fire and the country of wind. A small country torn between a scorching hot and thirsty desert and a warm spring-like fertile soil.
As its name suggests, the country of mountains and rivers and rivers is a country of rivers.
After spring, the heat and dryness of the desert in the Land of Winds rises to heat, and then continues to rise to the more intense heat of summer.
The forces led by Sarutobi fought from the sluggish and humid terrain of the Land of Rain to the hot and thirsty deserts of the Land of Wind. The ninjas of Konoha are different from the sand ninja who can taste the bloody rain all day long, and they experience the thirst and heat of being thrifty.
The Konoha ninja army, led by the three generations of Hokage apes and Hichiza, defeated the strongest three generations of Kazekage and the violent One Tail Moritsuru in a full year and a half of continuous battles. It radiates a kind of victory momentum before the Vietnam War...
But even if it was the Hokage who came in person, and carried the morale of such a big victory, the Konoha ninja army. After thousands of miles, in the face of the majesty of nature such as endless deserts and dry gales, he finally could not advance an inch.
In the end, helplessly facing the endless sand ninja in front of him and the ape flying in the desert, he had to be thirsty and tired with exhaustion and pain, and retreated back to Konoha Village in rotation to rest.
After stabilizing the battle line of the Land of Wind, the three generations of Hokage Sarutobi handed over the military command of the Land of Wind to two disciples, Orochimaru and Tsunade, and led a large number of injured ninjas back to the village. At this time, Jiraiya is still guarding the future changemakers...
The shadow of a village, the highest commander of the Konoha ninja in the country of fire, Ape Fei Ri, wrapped in the momentum of "Shinobi", returned to Konoha Hou Village after leaving the Konoha Power Center for a year and a half, and the rights are still the same.
On the contrary, at this time, the influence of Sarutobi Sun Slash among Konoha ninjas has reached its highest peak since the shadow.
The Konoha Ninja Army, which marches into the Land of Wind, is in urgent need of support after returning to the village with its strongest combat power. At this time, the most suitable person for the whole Konoha is, of course, the one who has been cultivating for several months, and suddenly heard that his lover has good news and is about to become a father.
The war continues, and the number of wounds continues to increase. The supply line of the Konoha ninja who detoured from the Land of Rain was not the way to do it after all. It is necessary to purge the sand ninja of the country of the river and open up the supply route to the east and west of the country of the wind. And the entire Konoha can take on this important task, and only the "Konoha White Fang" flag Mu Shuomao.
Hizashi looked at the figure of Kotobo resolutely leading the army, and he didn't know if Hachiki Sakumo had seen the birth of his son Kakashi in history. But the way of the world today is obviously not.
After leaving a name of "Wuwukai" on that day, Qimu Shuomao took the disciples who had been cultivating for several months. Led the Konoha ninjas who had recovered from their injuries to march again.
This time, it will be the time when "Konoha White Fang" resounded the most in the ninja world.
The combat strategy formulated by the three generations of Hokage now, in addition to opening up supply lines, also requires the opening of a new second battlefield in the vast territory of the Land of Wind. While facing the inaccessible Desert Country and the Wind Country to compete for ninja combat power, Sarutobi Sun Slash attempts to compete with the comprehensive national strength of the two powers at the same time. Prepare to take advantage of the strong economic foundation of the Fire Nation and overwhelm the Wind Nation with its comprehensive national strength.
In the northeast of the Land of Wind, resisting the expulsion of the three generations of Kazekage is the team of Orochimaru, who was strengthened by a large number of elite ninjas left behind by the Sarutobi Sun Slash. At this time, the young Uncle Snake, in the face of the top powerhouse alone, could only rely on the strangeness and venom of the snake to maneuver left and right, and barely maintained.
Senju Tsunade gradually marched south, trying to connect with the forces of Hachiki Sakushige, who had come from the country of Kawanokuni, as soon as possible. At this moment, he was facing the puppet of the strong sand ninja "Ghost Woman" Chiyo and the poison master ninja troops.
The Konoha ninja army led by Hachiki Shuomao follows the strategy of ape flying and slashing, and there is no need to go to the wet and muddy rain country. The group marched on the territory of the country of the neutral river, and Sakushige Hachiki prepared to march directly to the east of the country of wind after clearing the sand shinobi in the country of the river. While putting pressure on the enemy on both sides, it can also greatly shorten the distance and supply lines of the forward troops and headquarters.
The geography of Kawanokuni resembles a memory of a daily difference that blocks the Alps from the north and south of Europe. The mountains and rivers that stretch from east to west at an altitude of several thousand meters block the dry winds and sandstorms from the west from eroding the fertile water and soil of the Fire Country, and also prevent the cold air and moisture from the Fire Country from the east from sharing with the dry Wind Country to the west.
At this time, the moist air was blowing on the east side of the mountain rocks of Kawanokuni, and when it was cold, it turned into a river and flowed again to the green land of the Fire Country to the east. Left to the west of the Wind Country, it is still dry winds and deserts.
In this way, the Land of Wind, which has the largest land area in the ninja world, has been in drought all year round after the cold north wind has been blocked by the land country in the north, which is also surrounded by mountains.
This is the reason why the special desert area of the Land of the Wind is the result of the land of fire, which is separated by a mountain.
The small country of the river is also suffering from the wrath of the big country of wind all the year round because of the problem of resources.
The suffering civilians living in the desert to the east have been supported by the Land of Wind, seeking to redistribute unjust resources and barren land. It caused the rebellion, suppression, and division of the country of Kawanoku throughout the year. The middle and upper classes of the daimyo in the country and the wealthy villagers in the east have been falling to the fire Konoha because of the protection of the Fire Country. Therefore, on the east side of the country of Sichuan, the Konoha ninja army walked quite peacefully.
Along the way, Hisashi was able to enjoy the scenery of the mountains and rivers in the north. Perhaps it was after listening to Hachiki Shuomao's views on his state of mind, and at this time, the day difference was less aware of the upcoming killing. There is no patience when I was a first ninja, nor the violent aura when I came back from the Land of Rain...
At this time, in my heart, I only hope that after this war, I can return to Konoha and return home safely!
The three members of the fifth squad were still following behind Sakushige Hagiki, and behind them were the Konoha ninja army that stretched for hundreds of meters to support the battlefield of the Land of Wind.
The ninja of Konoha carried the moist air blowing from the Fire Country to the east, and walked towards the desert of the Wind Country.
In front of the sunset - the Grand Canyon of Kawanokuni, the junction of mountains and water.
Cracks in the mountain that are several kilometers long before and after. This is the only flat passage between the two great powers of the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire. In addition to this road, either be pierced through the country of rain and travel south to the sea...
This is because the entire country of rivers exists on a mountain range bordered by the sea to the south and the country of rain to the north.
I don't know whose power or the earthquake of nature split this continuous mountain range in the middle of Kawanokuni. Then, after the year-round water eroded and leveled the solid rock mass, it dried up. This road, which occasionally overflowed from the crevices of the mountains, was left for the merchants of the two great powers to pass through the east and west.
The war has left the vendors away, and this has finally become part of the march and supply of the Konoha ninjas of the Fire Nation.
These days, when walking in the country of Kawanoku, the Konoha ninja army camps at night in a large natural cave that has been eroded by flowing water. Just block the east side with earth, and the cracked wind blowing through the canyon from the west wind country is ignored. At the same time, you can also use the rock mass to defend against the attacks of the Wind Country.
Hinata remembers the secret cave of a certain organization in the future in the plot, and it seems that it was also established in these places.
He looked at the miraculous landscape of cliffs and mountain rifts. In the cliffs of this mountain, there is not even a bird calling?
Crossing the ravines and canyons of the country of neutral rivers, how could the hostile sand ninja not send people to stop it?
At this time, there is still some distance from the narrowest part of the Kawanokuni Grand Canyon. The day difference behind Hagi Shuomao immediately opened his eyes!
"Teacher...!"
Hearing this, Sakumo Hachiki stopped, and the ninja team behind him also stagnated for a moment...
"Whew-"
The wind, the roaring sound of the wind surging up from the canyon passage to the west, surging more and more fiercely—wind knives, sand blades.
The sand of the group escaped @ the big breakthrough, and the ninjas in the distance instantly created a large-scale hurricane on the other side of the canyon.
"Bang bang bang!!" All kinds of smoke bombs and explosives fell from the zenith in a moment when everyone was stagnant. The smoke that fills the air, and even the foul and foul poisonous gas...
In an instant, the entire crack canyon was filled with noise, smoke, poisonous gas...
Can't see, can't smell, can't smell...
"Bang, click!!"
The sound of cracking, boulders falling from cliffs.
Wind blades, boulders, and all kinds of ninja and explosives smashed down from the sky. In this canyon tens of meters wide, a hurricane howled through, accompanied by boulders and boulders pouring down from the sky...
"Water Array Wall @ Earth Flow Wall"
Thousand-Hand Rope Tree and other people who are proficient in water escape quickly cast the Water Array Wall, and together with the Earth Flow Wall cast by Qimu Shuomao and others, they converged to block the blowing sand and wind blades that attacked directly in front of them. But boulders and explosives falling from the air are the ones that do the main damage...
After defending against the Violent Wind Blade attacking from front, you have to be distracted to defend against the boulder falling from a height of 100 meters...
Hinata looked at the boulder that fell on him and others, and Hiza had to jump up when he discovered the situation in advance-
"Back to the sky"!
"Bang-" The power carried by the boulder was only slightly offset, but it still smashed into place...
Hinata's so-called absolute defense of Huitian finally encountered a challenge, the thousands of tons of power of the thousands of pounds of boulders falling from a height of 100 meters, how could the chakra cover released by the human body be able to resist?
Fortunately, when he returned to heaven this time, Hisashi jumped up presciently. After slightly blocking and changing the position of the boulder that smashed towards him, he threw himself out with the strength of the rotation back to the sky, and smashed it to the side...
Other ninjas are not so lucky!!
Wind escape, thunder escape, earth escape...
After all kinds of ninjutsu shattered the huge gravel in the sky, the smoke filled with smoke made it impossible to see and hide. Even though the split is smaller, it can still deal a lot of damage. If it is light, the head will break the blood flow, and if it is serious, it will be directly...
"Whew-"!!
Another gust of wind blew through the valley, resting on the smoke and poisonous mist...
The roar and smoke gradually dissipated.
A wave of ambushes and attacks from a long distance, after the Konoha ninja paid a certain number of casualties, the shrewd sand ninja did not launch more attacks.
Here, there are mountains and rock walls, a narrow and damp place, just like the earth flow wall and the water wall that block the storm and the sand blade, and there are too many restrictions on the art of sand ninja...
Wind Country Sand Ninja, as the name suggests, is the ninja village that is the most proficient in Wind Escape Ninjutsu. At the same time, he is also proficient in the Magnetic Escape of the Blood Inheritance Limit, the Fire Escape and the Burning Escape of Fusion, the Puppet Technique, the Manipulation of Things, the Sealing Technique, and the Use of Poison.
In addition to the sand ninja's own physical skills, these techniques are different from fire and earth escape, etc., and they are easy to be defended by earth escape and water escape ninjutsu in narrow areas. And here is the narrow river terrain that can best exert the oppression of water escape, but Sha Ren is the only one who is not good at water escape.
Here, in the slit of the mountain, which is only a few tens of meters wide, all the ninjas can perform water escape...
Unfortunately, there are no ifs. The dry country of wind, sand forbearance, has never been good at escaping. Shallow creeks and rock walls are like a tiger for Konoha ninjas with rich attributes...
Within the white eye, the enemy on the hill quickly retreated after the sneak attack.
"Gone~~~!!"
The sound of the sunset, alone echoed in the already silent canyon.
Although the enemy retreated with information, the vigilance of many ninjas at this time was still not calm. Ahead, the wind that crosses the canyon, strikes again...
This road seems to indicate the two sides of the east and west mountain ranges like the country of the river.
This side of the river is the same, the other side of the river...
"This is the white eyes of the Hyuga clan... Thanks to the reminder! ”
Who interrupted my thoughts?
I look back...
