Chapter 104 Arrival
Because the main members of the ninja army are from the Thousand Hands Clan, coupled with the prestige and status of the Rope Tree, no one is dissatisfied with his status as the commander-in-chief, but the other four hundred ninjas are affected by the respectful attitude of the Thousand Hands Clan, and they invisibly identify with this young genius commander, which is also the main reason why the Rope Tree asks the ninjas of the Thousand Hands Clan to be the main force.
At the entrance of Konoha Village, in addition to the Konoha ninjas, there is also an embassy of the Uzumaki clan, who will lead the Konoha reinforcements into the country of the Vortex.
At present, the entire Vortex Country is under siege in all three directions except the west. The only thing that can be freely accessed is the strait adjacent to the Fire Country.
Looking at the silent 1,000 ninja army, Rope Tree came out of the ranks of the high-level and said loudly: "The success or failure of this war mission in the country of vortex is related to the future of the village, so only success is allowed and no failure is allowed, I have only one requirement, that is, all actions are under command!" Violators, behead! ”
With the prestige of the rope tree now, there is no longer a need to slowly guide everyone to understand his intentions and then seek everyone's consent as he did in the first mission, and now he has great power and prestige, and he only needs to give an order, and no one under his command will obey.
"Hey!" Looking at the unison of the thousand ninja army, Rope Tree nodded with satisfaction.
"Everyone, the military situation is like fire, and I will leave now." Rope Tree said to the high-ranking people beside him.
"Be careful all the way!"
"Let's go!" Rope tree waved his hand, and led everyone to quickly rush out of the Konoha Gate and go straight to the east.
…………
The speed of the ninja was far beyond ordinary people, and it only took half a day to reach the dock on the east coast of the Fire Country, which was only a sea away from the Vortex Country, and even the coastline on the opposite side could be seen with good eyesight.
With the average level of the Konoha ninja army above the middle ninja level, if they want to be in a hurry, they can use the treading technique to run directly to the country of vortex! However, now everyone does not know much about the specific battle situation of the Vortex Country, and with the strength of the Vortex Tide Village, it is not possible to be captured in a moment. For the sake of prudence, there is no need to waste too much chakra and physical strength in order to hurry, so Rope Tree chooses to take a boat directly to the dock opposite.
Due to the war, the eastern coast of the Vortex Country has been placed under martial law, and the Uzumaki clan has sent hundreds of ninjas to guard the docks in order to ensure the safety of this retreat.
After more than an hour of sailing, the fleet finally docked, probably out of fear of Konoha or because the west coast of the Vortex Country was not strategic, so the coalition forces did not send ninjas to reconnoiter here, and the perception ninjutsu of the rope tree did not sense the existence of any hostile ninjas along the way!
This is the best situation for the Konoha side, and the absence of hostile ninja scouting means that no one knows the information that the Konoha ninja army is coming to support, maybe they can use this to cooperate with the Uzumaki clan to carry out a surprise attack and catch the other party by surprise.
After being contacted by the Vortex Country Mission, the Konoha Ninja Army, led by Rope Tree, entered the territory of the Vortex Country and learned about the battle ahead.
Since the main purpose of this war was not only to destroy the country of the vortex, but also to plunder the territory and wealth of the country of the vortex, and they had the advantage of their own troops, they did not concentrate all their forces to directly attack the capital of the country of the vortex and the village of the vortex. Instead, they chose to divide the troops into three ways to attack the city and plunder the land, gradually encroaching on the territory of the Vortex Country, and then destroy the capital and Vortex Village of the Vortex Country in one fell swoop after the Vortex Country was completely divided.
And this also gave the Vortex Country a chance to resist, although due to the lack of troops in the front of the battle more defeated than the victory, but their fierce resistance also greatly delayed the speed of the invasion of the coalition forces of various countries. It's no wonder that in the original book, Kushina said that his childhood was spent in miserable wars every day, and it would take at least a year or two to destroy the country of the vortex with the strategy of the alliance of various countries.
Since the country of vortex is an island country that hangs alone overseas, the invading armies of various countries are all transported by boat, and the ninja world does not have the concept of a navy, so all countries are armies, and the logistics supply of the army must be maintained by sea! The countries of thunder, water, iron, and bear, which are relatively close, can barely do it if they are willing to spend a lot of manpower and material resources, but the country of wind and earth, which are far away on the other side of the continent, are completely unable to establish their own supply lines. Therefore, the coalition forces of various countries have unanimously decided to simply eat the enemy and solve their own supply problems by plundering the resources of the Vortex Country! In addition, although the purpose of each country is the same, they do not trust each other, and each has its own ghosts, so they divide their troops into three ways to fight their own battles.
After some deliberation, the coalition forces decided to divide their respective theaters based on the four major ninja villages, with the Great Kamimo Shinobi in charge of the north, the Fog Shinobi in charge of the east, and the Sand Ninja and Iwa Shinobi, who came from afar and had fewer troops, in charge of the south. Ninjas and armies from other small nations are responsible for liaison and reconnaissance missions in the various major war zones, as well as maintaining law and order in occupied areas.
Although the coalition forces of various countries seem to have a clear division of labor, in reality they are scattered in their own battles. Of course, the ninja armies of the four major ninja villages are mainly responsible for fighting the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan head-on in each major war zone, while the ninjas and armies of other small countries are just following behind to pick up cheap rats. And although the Uzumaki clan is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they occupy a favorable location and have the assistance of sealing ninjutsu, if they want to defend and raise the strength of the whole country to drag it for a year or two, there is no problem at all.
At present, although the coalition forces of various countries are carrying out fierce attacks, they are all stubbornly resisted by the Vortex Country, and the border territory on the periphery cannot penetrate the hinterland. However, as the battle stalemate, casualties on both sides continued to increase, and the balance of victory was tilting in favor of the coalition forces, and the country of the vortex could no longer sustain after a long time.
As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, now that Rope Tree has a relatively clear understanding of the enemy's strategy, he also has a comprehensive plan for how to conduct the next war.
If you want to deter countries and then negotiate to let them withdraw their troops, you must achieve a big victory and beat the four ninja villages to a hard time!
And in order to achieve this goal, Konoha's 1000 ninja army alone is obviously not enough, so it is necessary to fully cooperate with the Uzumaki clan, and it is best to obtain the command of all the ninjas and armies in the country of the vortex, so that all forces can be deployed centrally!
Although the country of the vortex has now agreed to Konoha's conditions to annex the Ju clan to the country of fire and move to Konoha, that was after the mission was completed, and the current identity of the Uzumaki clan is still Konoha's allies. And Rope Tree wants to obtain the Vortex Country as the commander-in-chief of the Konoha reinforcements, so the command of the military is a bit noisy, and I am afraid that it will be opposed by the Uzumaki clan. Therefore, in order to achieve the goal, the rope tree must use some special means.
