Looking at the curious people, the problem of the rope tree being good (happy) for the (happy) people (pretending) division (forced) was committed again, only to see him said proudly: "There are indeed two methods, the first is to increase the army and isolate the policy, first occupy an area with superior forces, and then gather villages and cantonments to gather all the civilians in the area in a base to isolate and guard, cut off their contact with the outside world, so that the guerrillas will become rootless water and will dry up after a long time." However, the complete capture of an area requires an absolute superiority of forces, and the policy of isolation takes a long time, so countries should not implement such a time-consuming and laborious approach.

The second method is the scorched earth policy, which also starts with the civilians, and the effect is very fast, the enemy only needs to carry out exterminating massacres of civilians and burn all the villages and towns to steal all the supplies, and the guerrillas will soon be exterminated after losing their geographical advantages and people!

This is also the point I am most worried about, if someone in the four major ninja villages sees the key to this and implements a scorched earth policy, not only will our rescue mission fail, but also the civilians of the entire Vortex Country! Therefore, we must launch a surprise attack and win the war before the four ninja villages see the key to it. ”

The two methods mentioned by the rope tree have appeared on the earth in previous lives, and because the second scorched earth policy is too inhumane, no country dares to fully implement it. But the Hokage world doesn't have any international conventions and human rights programs, so if there really is an enemy wise man who sees the key, a massacre is likely to happen.

"Jiao...... Scorched earth policy? Are you saying that the four ninja villages will slaughter and loot like the bandits of those conglomerates, and they will also burn down the villages and towns?" Shinnosuke immediately thought about the cruelty of those bandits in the last S-class mission.

Zhixin, Balang, and Jinjiu on the side looked a little embarrassed when they heard this.

"Rope Tree is right, if the ninjas of the four great ninja villages are ruthless and slaughter the civilians of the Vortex Country, we can only choose to defend frontally, and the guerrilla tactics will be self-defeating." The implication of Aki Sakushigeru is that civilians should be protected, not sit back and watch them be slaughtered for the sake of mission.

"But then aren't we back where we were? How should this mission be accomplished? If the Four Great Ninja Villages really implement a scorched earth policy as Rope Tree said, we should temporarily sacrifice some civilians in exchange for victory in the war! It's a strategic need! Akido said with a solemn face, he obviously disagreed with Shuo Mao's opinion, and it seemed that he had learned to "calm down" after the lesson of that incident.

"But...... This is just a war between the Vortex and the nations, why involve civilians? Although the country of vortex is a small country, it is densely populated, and this is hundreds of thousands of innocent lives! "Shuo Mao can't understand the thinking of Qiu Dao, how can he, who has always been kind to people, become so indifferent?

Facing the question of Qimu Shuomao, a junior who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, Qiu Dao said with a heavy face: "Shuomao! I can understand your feelings, but as ninjas, we must put the mission first, and if necessary, we should abandon all emotions and sacrifice everything, including our companions, in order to complete the mission! That's the code of ninjas! ”

In the face of the cold and ruthless announcement of the old-timer Qiu Dao Feng, everyone fell into silence, feeling that although what he said was cruel, it was the truth.

Shuo Mao opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, he turned his head to look at the people around him, and found that they all bowed their heads with heavy faces and acquiesced to the statement, and no one supported him, and finally sighed and said no more.

Just as Shuo Mao was about to give up his beliefs completely, a voice rekindled his hope, "Hehe...... I don't agree with Mr. Takefeng's statement! I don't think ninjas should be cold and ruthless mission machines. That dark code of abandoning companions seems to me to be bullshit! Hearing the sudden astonishing remarks of the rope tree, the eyes of everyone present widened in surprise.

Glancing at the stunned crowd, Rope continued, "Do you remember the Will of Fire? Where the leaves fly, so does the fire. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and allow the new leaves to sprout! The only rule of ninjas is to protect their companions! The only one who can be sacrificed is himself! The scum of those companions who gave up under the pretext of a mission is simply not worthy of being a ninja! Not even worthy of being a man! ”

Rope Tree's deafening declaration was like a giant hammer struck everyone's hearts, shattering the erroneous notions in their hearts that bound their own will like an iron cage.

"Sacrifice ...... Sacrifice yourself to protect your companions? Mirror...... You think so too, right? It's really bad that I waited until now to understand your will under this child's reminder! Akido muttered to himself, his eyes blurred with tears.

"Will of Fire? Rope tree-kun is really a warm person! Father! Did you see that? Here's a person who thinks the same way! Listening to Akimichi Tofu's whispering to himself, the Uchiha Hikari also smiled and left tears.

"Is guarding your companions the Ninja Code? Rope-kun agrees with me! After getting the approval of the rope tree, Shuo Mao, who had regained his self-confidence, was full of lightness.

"Will of Fire! Rope Tree (Patriarch) is indeed worthy of being the successor of the Thousand Hands Clan! Tsunade and the other Senju clan's shinobi admired.

"Hehehe...... Will of Fire? It doesn't look like you're lying! Isn't that like the idea of a man who seeks eternal life? Which one is the real you? Or is this contradiction the essence of your soul? It's so much fun! Orochimaru stared at the rope tree with a feverish expression, as if he had found a rare treasure.

Jiraiya, who didn't know the truth, looked at Orochimaru's performance and thought that he was influenced by the rope tree, "Even one of Orochimaru's guys has been affected?" The rope tree seems to be a child of destiny who can change fate! But didn't the Great Toad Immortal say that the Son of Destiny would become my disciple?"

When everyone was immersed in the mouth of the rope tree, the rope tree also received a series of prompts from the system: "Ding! xx has a strong sense of identification with you, and reaps xx points of willingness. ”

"That...... Although Rope Tree is right, we don't seem to have to worry too much, right? What kind of scorched earth policy is only Rope Tree himself can figure out, right? If it weren't for his reminder, ordinary people wouldn't have thought of it, right?" Shinnosuke spoke his mind with a big grin, and he didn't think there was any need for everyone's argument.

Maite Dai on the side also nodded and agreed: "Even now, I still don't understand. Does the battle between ninjas have anything to do with civilians?"
