The small islands to the east of the Vortex Island do not have a unified name, in fact, even when the Vortex Country was not destroyed, these small islands were not well utilized, and almost no one lived on them except for fishermen.

However, when the end of the Warring States Period arrived, the Vortex Country was besieged and destroyed by many countries, and the largest of the participating countries was undoubtedly the Water Country, and they used these small islands as a springboard to launch a devastating attack on the Vortex Country. The country of vortex was originally going to face other countries on the mainland, and its combat power was already stretched, no, it could even be said that it was almost impossible to hold on. The country of water suddenly attacked, which was equivalent to putting the last straw, and the little camel of the country of vortex finally couldn't bear such pressure, and the whole country was completely destroyed.

Most of the people died in the war, and only a few people escaped the killing and began to live in seclusion in all corners of the ninja world.

Therefore, these dotted islands are by no means as useless as they seem. On the contrary, if in order to prevent a sudden attack by the Water Country, the role of these small islands is crucial.

If the Konoha side uses it well, it can greatly stop the invasion of the Water Country, and it is impossible for the Water Country to bypass these small islands to attack Konoha Village, so the battle line will inevitably be too long, and it will definitely cause considerable pressure on logistics and supplies.

On the contrary, if the country of water occupies these small islands, they can use this as a springboard, near the island of the vortex, far can attack the country of fire, although the battle line is also continuous, but with these small islands as a temporary base, in fact, the front line of the battle line is not too far, and the ninjas in the rear, as long as they can keep sending supplies to the starry islands, invisibly, the logistical pressure will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, for both warring parties, the value of these small islands is very large, and it must not be easily given up.

Fugaku hopes that Chiba will build steel bridges on these small islands, on the one hand, to facilitate the passage and battle of the Konoha ninjas, and on the other hand, it can also slightly block the large-scale water escape ninjutsu of the fog hidden ninjas.

Of course, Chiba didn't have any reason to refuse this, and he didn't want to refuse, blocking the enemy was something that every Konoha person should do - unless he wanted to defect to Konoha .

Chiba also specially gave these small islands a name - the Starry Islands.

In order to create these steel bridges, Chiba even stopped his mission to guard the enemy, and wholeheartedly extracted metal from the entire underside of Vortex Island. I have to say that although the area of the Vortex Island is not large, the veins below are still very rich, and all kinds of metal deposits have been sensed by Qianyu since the day he landed on the island.

It's just that he didn't receive the task given to him by Fuyue before, and Qian Yu himself went crazy to extract metal.

Now that there is a task, it is a waste to bury these things in the ground, so it is better to take them out and use them directly.

As a result, the Konoha ninjas on Vortex Island began to indirectly feel the tremor coming from under their feet, which looked like an earthquake, but it was much smaller than the movement of the earthquake.

And as the tremors continued to appear, black pillars of sand began to rise up on the island, looking like a huge black fountain. Often at this time, where the sand pillar is located, the strength of the defense will suddenly increase. A large number of Uchiha gathered around Chiha, ensuring that he would not be disturbed.

After extracting the black metallic sand, Chiba began to fuse.

His ability to help him decompose and fuse metal at will, the whole process does not require the so-called high temperature at all, he can cast metal at room temperature. And this is not a simple single-attribute metal, because the underground mineral deposits are originally the aggregate of many metals, so when Qianyu fuses, various metals will also be fused together.

So this thing, in fact, should be called an alloy.

The characteristic of alloys is that they have more properties than pure metals.

Or it is harder, or it is more malleable, and weapons or metal products made of alloys are much better than metal alone most of the time. Qian Yu also has a lot of alloy composition ratio schemes in his hands, all of which are the experience he has gained from using his abilities over the years.

So since you want to block the water escape ninjutsu, flexibility has become the first need.

If it's just a simple pursuit of hardness, I'm afraid that it will be broken by the waterfall technique, and then it won't make much sense.

The hardness must be there, the flexibility must also be there, how to grasp the degree of it, Qianyu does not have too good ideas. After all, he didn't come from a metallurgical profession, so he could only make it by feeling.

So, over the next few days, huge iron piles rose between the islands, and then the pure metal deck, which was four or five meters wide, landed steadily on the bridge piles, and the bridge body and the bridge piles quickly merged into one.

Basically, two or three steel bridges can be made every day, connecting the islands to each other, and I have to say that with these bridges, the interconnection between the islands is indeed much easier, after all, running on the ground and running on the water, the running speed and the consumption of chakra are completely different.

The ninjas of the Fire Country spend most of their time fighting on the ground, although there are also water battles, but after all, there are too few, so in such a battlefield, they are still facing the fog hidden who is particularly good at surface combat, and the effect of these things is undoubtedly huge.

Fortunately, the third generation sent Chiba here, and with his ability, although it was extremely chakra required to make these big guys, the speed was increased by more than a hundred times compared to letting the blacksmith hammer hammer and hammer it.

Thanks to Qianyu's efforts, one steel bridge after another appeared between the Starry Islands, and time passed day by day, and it had been half a month since the last time the information was sent back. In other words, if the fog ninjas had begun to assemble half a month ago, then half a month had passed, and their attack could have come at any time.

On Vortex Island, the atmosphere in the Konoha ninja camp has become more and more solemn, and the Uchiha who are in charge of patrolling have patrolled more often. There are more and more Uchiha who are in charge of vigilance, and all the Uchiha who have opened their eyes have been placed in the most important place.

Writing wheel eyes,According to the degree of eye opening,In the ordinary category,It can be roughly divided into observation eye、Copy eye and illusion eye,Of course, the illusion eye is the most advanced,Generally speaking,Only to the extent of the three hooks jade can have the ability of the illusion eye,That is, it can easily break and cast illusions,When the general illusion ninja faces the Uchiha of the three hooks,The combat power is not enough to form a threat。

It's just that even the three hooks are already very difficult for most Uchiha to achieve, out of ten Uchihas, about three to four people can open their eyes, and among the Uchiha who open their eyes, only one in ten can reach the three hooks, that is, the strongest level of ordinary writing wheels.

The vast majority of eye-openers can only swing at the level of one hook jade and two hook jade all their lives, and one hook jade is undoubtedly the most.

And a hook jade, that is, the most basic observation eye, has the ability to see through the enemy's movements, can see the flow of chakra to a certain extent, and also has a certain farsightedness function, anyway, the sight distance must be stronger than before opening the eyes.

That's enough.

There may be people who can turn a war around on their own, but those people don't exist in this place, and in the final analysis, the war with the fog still needs to rely on everyone's strength.

The Uchiha of Ichitama had the ability to see and observe from afar, so they were all sent to the front line to observe the situation on the sea at any time. In the case of Nigotama, he is in charge of patrolling on Vortex Island. The highest-level three-hooked jade no longer participates in patrolling, they are only in a few fixed and important positions, and they are responsible for guarding anytime and anywhere.

The ability of the illusion eye allows them to crack the illusion as soon as possible, and at the same time, various forces that are more powerful than the first and second magatama can also allow them to burst out more powerful combat power when facing the enemy, so they protect all important places, such as warehouses, grain and grass, field hospitals, and other places.

These are the most important and must not be overcome by the enemy.

With these people's guards, the entire camp can be described as impregnable. Qianyu, who put down the task of vigilance, worked hard for more than ten days, and finally completed the last bridge, looking at the bridges that connected the islands, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he returned to the camp, first handed over the task like Fuyue, and after receiving the praise of the other party, he turned back to his tent, and found some food along the way. After eating a full meal, he regained some strength, looked at the sky, and it was almost time to rest. The steel bridge is finished today, and he's going to start covering his senses at night, and he's going to do it all night, so he'll have to catch up on his sleep during the day.

Both Red and Ebisu went out on patrol, with Akai.

As an additional note, Akai's team, as well as his father, were all sent to this battlefield. Chiba had met Akai several times in the camp, and the two had a few meals together quietly with Red and Ebisu. Although the war is about to break out, it is time to relax, right?

They don't have the ability of a thousand feathers, so they just need to rest during the day, but a thousand feathers instead...... Isn't this the truth that with great power comes great responsibility? is obviously stronger, but he is tired to death every day.

Lying on the bed, Qianyu's eyelids quickly became astringent and heavy, he rolled over, slowly closed his eyes, and prepared to fall asleep.

By the way, there are still some leftover chakras in the body, use them up, anyway, they will automatically fill up when they wake up, and it's a waste to not use them now. So, what should be done? Let's see where they are.

Unleash the perception ability, there is not much chakra left in the body, at most it can only cover a distance of about a kilometer, and the duration is only a dozen seconds, this range can cover the seaside at most, but Akai They should be patrolling near the camp.

Qian Yu thought so.

However, as soon as he released his perception ability, he instantly sensed dozens of magnetic fields that he had never seen before, and he looked at the location...... It's under the sea on the shore! He could even sense that further behind these magnetic fields, where the water was deeper, there were more magnetic fields lurking......

Mist Hidden Ninja!

"Enemy attack!"

Chiba jumped up from the bed at once, reached out and took out a soldier food pill and swallowed it, and at the same time informed Fuyue and the ninja in charge of warning him with his ability.

In the next second, a loud explosion sounded above the camp.
