Chapter 696: Scuffle and stalemate
Soon, the high-level leaders of all countries understood that Skywalker deliberately attracted Iwakure's forces in the country of grass, and then concentrated 200,000 troops in the west to launch a sneak attack on the weakened country of earth, and the country of birds should only be incidental.
At this time, the Sand Hidden Village had been monitored by the Temple of Fire using Ichio, so Rope Tree was not afraid that they would suddenly turn back, and he had no worries, so he directly used all the forces in the western region to launch an attack to the north.
In fact, he didn't plan to launch an attack from the country of grass from the beginning, because the situation in that area was very complicated, and the country of thunder could intervene at any time, and in that direction, there were still two allies between the country of earth and the country of fire, the country of rain and the country of grass, even if it was captured by Konoha, it was just an enclave, and the country of birds in the northwest was completely bordered by Konoha, and all the territories captured could be connected!
Therefore, Rope Tree deliberately stayed in the country of grass for three full months, and only after everything was ready, did he secretly transfer the 10,000 sand hidden to the west, and then used the Flying Thunder God technique to transfer, leading an army of 200,000 to launch a surprise attack.
For the sake of absolute secrecy, the strategic plan of this time was not revealed to anyone, and even the high-level officials of the Konoha headquarters thought that he had united the two countries of grass and rain to launch an attack from the southeastern border of the land country. With his current status, he has every right to lead this war, and even if the top leaders of the city themselves are concealed, they have no right to hold him responsible.
Although Rope Tree had mentioned the Thirty-Six Schemes to a small number of people in Konoha, the entire ninja world knew very little about this kind of scheme from another world, so Iwakuin Village was really fooled.
Soon half of the land was occupied, the Bird Country raised its voice internationally, strongly condemning the Fire Nation's unprovoked aggression against them. And the country of earth also issued solidarity at this time, saying that Konoha's ambitions were finally exposed, and sooner or later he would launch aggression against various countries, calling on the entire ninja world to unite and crusade against Konoha together.
Because Konoha's performance is too strong, all countries in the ninja world, including small countries, have a strong fear of Konoha. Haven't you Konoha always made it your duty to maintain peace? If you can invade the country of birds today in order to attack the land country, can you destroy them tomorrow?
In order to avoid falling into a diplomatic crisis, Konoha finally issued an announcement: Konoha has always loved peace, and this will never change. The reason why they launched an attack on the country of birds was because in the last war, the country of birds and the country of ghosts had provided a large amount of food aid to the country of wind at a critical moment. And there is evidence provided by the Windy Country. Therefore, it can be concluded that the country of birds and the country of ghosts have a hostile relationship with Konoha. For countries that are strictly neutral, Konoha will not take the initiative to attack.
Although the reason is a bit far-fetched, Konoha has already come up with solid evidence, so other small and medium-sized countries that think they don't have the sin of Konoha are completely relieved. And the country of ghosts, which is also characterized as an enemy, has launched assistance to the country of birds in order to protect itself.
The reaction of the Oni Country was expected by the Rope Tree, but it was also in line with his heart, because in addition to the Land Country, the Bird Country and the Oni Country were also the targets of the Rope Tree, and if the conflict expanded, he would have even more excuses to occupy these two countries.
After the diplomatic crisis was resolved, the 150,000 Konoha army quickly occupied a large territory with the help of 10,000 Iwa Shinobi, but because the civilians of the land country did not abandon their country, the rope tree was inevitably dragged into the quagmire by guerrilla tactics, and did not go too deep, but stopped at a shallow taste, and when the occupied area reached the limit of control, it stopped the offensive and began to slowly digest the territory.
In the face of the menacing Konoha ninja army, Iwain Village only sent Lao Zi to lead 50,000 ninja troops to the western border for defense. The 50,000 ninja army is too weak for the fifteen armies of the rope tree, not because Iwakure doesn't want to send more ninja troops to come, but because the border area of the land country is too large, and the rain country and the grass country in the southeast are also ready to move, Iwakure really can't draw too many manpower.
Fortunately, Iwakuin also formed an alliance with the country of birds and the country of ghosts, and the combined strength of the three parties was 110,000, coupled with the harassment of guerrilla tactics, it finally barely blocked the offensive of the 200,000 Konoha ninja army, and the two sides entered the confrontation stage in the northwest of the ninja world.
Although the attack was temporarily blocked, Rope Tree was not in a hurry at all, but began to digest the occupied area step by step, with the experience of the last capture of the Wind Country, the governance of the General's Mansion went very smoothly, as for the Konoha Ninja Army, with the help of 10,000 Iwa Ninja, they quickly became familiar with the environment of the occupied area, so Iwakure's guerrilla tactics did not cause too many casualties to Konoha.
In this way, the two sides have been facing each other for several months, and they have been in contact with each other. Although Lao Zi is a human pillar force, due to the overall superiority of the shadow-level combat power on the side of the rope tree, coupled with the shadow of the heart of the two captives, he behaves very cautiously, never collides head-on and has been hiding in the shadows to command, and even the rope tree can't catch a trace, which makes Jiu Sinai, who is eager to try to fight with the same kind, very disappointed. However, this also made the casualties of the two sides very small, plus the number and individual combat strength of the Konoha ninja army were all superior, so in general, Konoha still had the advantage. However, due to the non-cooperation of the local civilians, the Konoha ninja army has never expanded and has been on the defensive.
The Konoha ninja army did not have any impetuous mood this time, because from the beginning they had already achieved great results, this time they occupied half of the territory of the country of birds, plus the towns of the country of earth, and the area together was almost the same as the country of rain, even if they did not enter an inch of land after that, they were already considered to have expanded their territory, and they believed that their commander Skywalker must have a back hand to lead them to victory.
After experiencing the tempering of the war in the Land of Wind, the 200,000 ninja army in the territory of the Western Capital has become a real elite division, and victory is not arrogant or defeated, this is the army that Rope Tree needs most.
And Rope Tree did have a way to break the game a long time ago, but this opportunity to break the game is not controlled by him, and he still needs to wait.
According to the plot that Rope Tree knew and the information sent back from the Dark Section, Rope Tree deduced that Yunyin Village couldn't help but attack, but their attack was a little special.
In addition to attacking the Fire Country on the surface, Yun Yin is also secretly preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Earth Country this time. Yes, Yunyin Village is preparing to go to war with two countries at the same time this time, and the Land Country seems to be their real target, which is a plan to attack the West.
After the Three Kingdoms enter the melee, the situation in the ninja world will definitely change again, and this is the opportunity for the rope tree to break the game.
