Chapter 308: The Battle Begins
Hanzo's idea is very good, but unfortunately things are not so simple, when he confidently waited for the arrival of the Konoha ninja army at the border, he received an urgent report from the rear: Sand Hide and Iwakuin have fought without declaring a war, and they have broken into the territory of the Land of Rain with the strength of the whole country!
The Second Ninja War has finally broken out!
It turned out that after learning that Skywalker had led 70,000 ninja troops to the northwest border, the wind and earth realized that the matter was big and it was impossible to solve the dilemma by diplomatic means.
The war between countries is not something that can end in a while, and neither Skywalker nor the demigod Hanzo are simple characters, this battle can be described as a chess opponent, and the ghost knows how long they will fight!
Once the war starts, the resumption of cross-border trade will be far away, and the two countries will be plunged into famine and economic crisis!
The high-level leaders of the two countries have thought about it, and the only way to save themselves is to take the initiative, while plundering resources to temporarily maintain their own economies, they must also force the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire to return to the old trade order as soon as possible!
Therefore, the Land of Rain, which has hoarded a lot of resources and is in a key position, has become the first target of attack for the two countries!
After receiving the order from the top, the two ninja armies that were originally going to attack the Fire Country immediately set off as a whole army and launched an attack on Yuyin Village almost at the same time!
Since this battle is related to the fortunes of the country, and the battlefield situation is complicated, and the strength of the opponent is high, Sand Hide and Iwakuin have almost exhausted the strength of the entire village, and they are led by Kazekage and Tokage himself, respectively! It seems that both countries are aiming for a quick solution to their domestic predicament as soon as possible.
Sand Hidden and Iwakuin did their best, the military strength of each side was as high as 70,000, coupled with the personal action of the shadow-level powerhouse, the weak border defense line of the Rain Country was quickly torn apart, and 140,000 ninjas drove straight into the Rain Country.
Since Hanzo concentrated most of the ninjas in Rain Hidden Village on the southeast border of the Land of Rain to guard against Konoha's attack, there were almost no ninjas left in the Land of Rain, and the army composed of ordinary people alone could not resist the attack of the ninja army!
After the two ninja armies broke into the territory of the Land of Rain, they did not encounter any decent resistance at all, and in order to plunder the supplies more quickly, especially food, the Wind Shadow and Tsuchikage ordered the ninja army under their command to disperse in small groups and attack freely!
Soon, the sand ninja and the rock ninja spread like locusts in the territory of the rain country, burning, killing and looting everything, and everything they passed was looted!
The armies of the Land of Rain were losing ground one after another, and the nobles, merchants, and officials all left behind their assets and fled to the rear with a small amount of gold and silver.
And the civilians of the Land of Rain, who have nowhere to escape, have the most miserable end, watching their hard-earned wealth being plundered by the fierce ninjas of other countries, and those who resist will be killed mercilessly!
Those who survive will also become refugees who have lost everything, and most of them will die of starvation and freezing. If you want to survive in this cruel world of the jungle, you can only rely on violence, and soon meat eaters who survive by bullying and oppressing their own kind will appear......
Robbery, theft, fraud, brawls, killings, and a host of other evils and chaos spread like a plague in the Land of Rain!
Emotions such as crying, sadness, hatred, and numbness have become the main themes, and this rainy country is being reduced to a human purgatory under the devastation of war and aggression.
Soon the sand shinobi and the Iwa shinobi met in this small country. As competitors who came here with the same purpose, there was naturally no warmth between the two, and the two sides who were already faintly hostile saw each other snatch their own territory and lambs, and instantly became murderous.
Soon friction and fire rush occurred, the two sides gradually became red-eyed, the contradiction became bigger and bigger, both sides suffered losses, and the blood feud had been settled, so even the two of Kazekage and Tsuchikage temporarily forgot their purpose. The ninja armies of the two ninja villages started a scuffle in this land that they wantonly kneaded.
As the leader of this country, Hanzo, who is called a demigod by the ninja world, can only silently listen to the whole country moaning behind his back at this time, endure the emotions in his heart, and lead the army to continue to stick to the southeast border.
He knew very well that once he left rashly, then the country of rain would fall into an even more dangerous situation, because the upcoming Konoha ninja army would be even more terrifying, and once he lost the 40,000 rain ninja army under his command, then the country of rain would completely lose all hope!
Two days later, Rope finally arrived at the northwest border with 70,000 Konoha ninja troops.
In fact, they can use the Divine Tree Cave Heaven to carry logistics materials, and the Konoha Ninja Army has no logistical drag at all, so they should march faster when they are lightly armed.
However, in order to achieve his own goal, the rope tree deliberately delayed his speed, and it took three full days to reach the border slowly.
After receiving the news of the arrival of the Konoha ninja army, Hanzo began to guard against the attack of the Konoha ninja army.
However, the Konoha ninja army, which was across the border, surprisingly did not take a step across the border, and even the reconnaissance team was not dispatched.
The 70,000 ninja army swaggered to set up a huge camp under the orders of the rope tree, and then sent small units to patrol and defend around the border in a regular manner, as if they had no offensive intention to defend with all their might.
Hanzo was a little confused when he saw this situation, you must know that the daily consumption of 70,000 ninja troops is not a small amount, and the other party came here so hard to carry out some bullshit military exercises, right?
His first reaction was that Konoha's Skywalker must be using some trick, this is to paralyze himself, and he must not be careless.
So he sent ninjas to the other camp's camp to investigate intelligence, and at the same time ordered his ninja army to step up the patrol and defense of the camp periphery, as far as he knows, this Skywalker is very good at raiding and harassing operations, and the four ninja villages were defeated under this tactic, and Yuyin Village must not repeat the mistakes of the past.
However, the next development of events was completely unexpected by Hanzo, and the Konoha ninja army on the opposite side showed no signs of attack except for patrolling the border defenses.
After the ninjas he sent out to investigate had lost a large number of men, the information he received was that the Konoha ninja army was conducting some strange training in the camp every day.
Sometimes it was motionless like a stake, sometimes it moved in a neat line, sometimes it shouted all kinds of slogans, and the whole camp was busy all day.
Hanzo was even more confused after receiving the information, although these training methods of Konoha were unheard of, but after Hanzo received the information, he was even more confused, although these training methods of Konoha were unheard of, but after some analysis, he felt that this seemed to be a set of training methods for ordinary troops.
