Chapter 44: The Hunting Ground of the Sand Ninja
The sand shinobi are looking forward to capturing the giant sharks, and the other forces are hoping that they will fail.
Some people watch the excitement, and some people think of the fisherman's profit - most of the people who dare to have this idea are the first to be solved.
Sandpiper and mussels compete with the fisherman for profit, whether it is a sandpiper or a mussel, it is not a fisherman's opponent, but the fisherman has to work hard to catch them. Therefore, after the sandpiper and the mussel fought with each other, there was a saying that the fisherman was profitable.
What is the situation with these people? He has no strength himself, but his reason is buried by immediate interests, this is not a fire to be taken from the fire, but a death.
In the southwest sea area of the Ninja Continent, this drama was staged, and the manpower sent by more than a dozen small forces was either solved by the sand ninja or the fog ninja, and they did not measure their own strength, provoking the prestige of the great powers, and it was not bad if they did not investigate the forces behind them.
Xiang Konoha Village, with the will to maintain peace on the surface, secretly sent people from the "root" to eliminate the ninja forces of the Fire Country and the small countries to which it belonged one by one.
A year ago, Sword Shadow was operating in the rainforest of the old land of the Sky Country, and at that time he felt that the sensing distance of 1.5 kilometers was enough for him. The vegetation in that place is dense, people's vision is blocked to dozens of meters, and the visual distance cannot catch up with the perceived distance.
Later, when I took the middle ninja exam, there were no powerful perceptual ninjas among the candidates, and the undulating sand dunes in the desert also played a role in blocking the line of sight, so I didn't feel deeply.
But now, in the vast sea, human eyesight alone can take in everything twenty or thirty kilometers away, and the range of 1.5 kilometers perceived is really insignificant.
Fortunately, the sword shadow has a shadow clone, and by separating a large number of clones, he learned a lot about what was happening around him, including the fight between various forces.
If he didn't have a mission on his side, he would love to join, it was a feast, and although he didn't like to kill indiscriminately, whether it was out of his innate mentality towards the enemy forces or the comfort brought by the rising blood essence stone's energy, he was tempted to do it.
Unfortunately, the task is heavy, and the only thing Sword Shadow can do is wait, wait for the sand shinobi to make a move, wait for their hole cards to be played, or completely destroy their wishes.
In the past half a day, Sword Shadow and Sand Shinobi have received news that a fishing boat in the nearby waters has been attacked by a giant shark.
After understanding the situation, Sand Shinobi immediately moved in the direction of the giant shark. With the continuous reinforcements, the number of people on the side of the sand ninja is increasing, in addition to the people patrolling outside, plus the sealing troops who rushed over, the sand ninja has gathered nearly a hundred people on the sea. None of the more than 100 people are shinobi, not every one of them has experienced a hundred battles, but any of them are the backbone of the ninja village.
The shadow clone of Sword Shadow found out about this situation, and after the news was transmitted back, the Sword Shadow passed the news to Mike Kay, and this time, even Kai, who had almost no thoughts to put on his face, found out that something was a big deal. I should have informed the Konoha headquarters, but the situation was urgent, how could I leave. So, he instructed the sword shadow to let him use the shadow clone to do it for him, and hand over the news to the Konoha forces stationed in the country of Kawanoku.
The Land of Wind, Sand Ninja Village.
Kamishinobu Maki got the summons from the front line and immediately rushed to the Kazekage office building.
"Intelligence shows that Konoha and Kirigakure are already paying attention to us. This matter must be decided early and cannot be delayed any longer. "The four generations of Kazekage are the pillars of the Sand Ninja, and the meaning of this "pillar" comes not only from his strength, but also from the benefits created by the Magnetic Escape Ninjutsu he used.
By analyzing the ability of One Tail Morizuru, the four generations of Kazekage Raksha can extract the placer gold from the desert, and this ability makes the village a huge gold trading place in the Land of Wind and even the Ninja Continent.
The desert, which seems useless to ordinary people, not only blocks the powerful Fire Nation to the east, but also becomes the source of money for the Sand Hidden Village, and it can be said that the reign of the four generations of Kazekage was the period when the economy of the Sand Hidden Village changed the fastest.
It's a pity that Konoha has brought him too much pressure, and the trauma of the war is still hurting on the wounds in Shayin Village, but Konoha has healed the scars on his body, and one by one potential newcomers began to walk on the stage.
Last year's middle ninja exam, after the first round, the examiners who knew the situation were worried, the combat power of the sword shadow was no less than that of a middle ninja, and from the information he knew, this teenager had only graduated that year.
Although each country has different circumstances and does not accept each other, one thing is that everyone acknowledges that Konoha's ninja school and a series of training systems are the most advanced of all countries. In addition to the old ninja family, many civilian ninjas flashed on the battlefield, and once beat the family ninjas who held themselves with the blood inheritance boundary out of their temper.
From a point of view, as the supreme leader of Shayin Village, Luo Sha tried his best to reverse his disadvantage, but unfortunately, judging from the current state of affairs, the gap between them and Konoha has not only not narrowed, but also widened.
It was for this reason that the giant psychic beast that appeared on the sea made him eagerly arrange a large number of ninjas to find it. If you can control it, you can clash with Konoha in the future, and even if you can't use it on the frontal battlefield, you can also block/lock the coastline of the Fire Country as a tool to break the war.
"Kazekage-sama, our strength can't compete with Konoha yet, if this attracts the hostility of Kirigaku...... It doesn't seem right. "Markey is calm, which is why he became an elder in the future.
The fourth generation of Wind Shadow Luo Sha put the document on the table, looked at him and said, "We don't need to worry about the matter of the foggy shadow, although I heard that they are recovering, no matter how much their strength changes, they can't threaten us. Don't forget, Konoha is our common enemy, Misty Hidden - they are too far away from us, and even if they target us, they will only do something to the country of the sea. ”
Everyone's eyes are still staring at the mainland, although the ocean is vast, but it is not a place to absorb resources, no matter how mysterious Wuyin Village is, it cannot change the natural weakness of the island country.
"But my lord, that thing is getting stronger and stronger, and we could estimate its location before, but now even if we do, it will have long since left, and even if it continues to stay with us, it will be impossible to capture it."
This is where Ma Ji is helpless, and it is also the place that Sand Ninja Village values, a psychic beast that can continue to grow stronger, and its value is no less than that of a tailed beast.
The problem is, you have to have it first.
Eventually, the Kazekage, who faced reality, finally decided to concentrate his manpower in the shortest possible time to make one last capture of the giant shark.
They had spent more than a year on this sea beast, and they had invested no less than a war, and even the ninjas involved in the roundup had suffered casualties.
In recent months, it is common to know that the giant shark will pass through the nearby waters, but because several places have not taken care of it or it is too late to rush over, the giant shark has escaped from the encirclement.
"Inform the dark ministry and ask them to send people to be the second echelon."
Markey was also about to fight, and replied, "Yes." ”
………………
"What does it mean that there is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no way to break through in hell - this is it!"
"Poof"!
After the artery was cut, the blood rushed out, like a spray gun, the sea breeze faced it, tearing the blood in mid-air into pieces, even if the sword shadow jumped ten meters away after making a move, there was still a thin layer of pink on the skin.
Eight ninjas who don't know which force they belong to, and after encountering the clone of the sword shadow, they attack together without saying a word. Originally, I approached them to hear some news, but I didn't expect that there was a guy inside who had an extremely keen perception and saw through the traces of the sword shadow. The other party quietly arranged an ambush, if it wasn't for vigilance, and he didn't have any intention of getting too close, maybe he would have been injured and disappeared.
Therefore, Jian Ying did not leave his hand, and directly pressed over with strong strength.
It only takes ten minutes to add eight points of energy to the blood essence stone, but he is not happy in his heart, there are too many sand ninjas, and the strength is strong. Yanagi Sword Shadow has no more confidence in himself, and he also feels embarrassed in the face of dozens of middle ninjas.
Not to mention that there are more than a dozen Shangninas here, even if Teacher Kai is by his side, Jian Ying has to mention ten thousand cautions.
Ninjas have too many ninjutsu, not counting in the blood inheritance boundary, just in terms of secret arts: the trio of Konoha Pig Deer Butterfly cooperate to attack, even if the enemy is dozens of times stronger than them, if they are accidentally hit, they still can't avoid the end of being destroyed.
The wind at sea was relatively strong, and the humidity was also very heavy, which had little effect on the ninja, but since a few hours ago, the clouds that appeared on the sea and sky seemed to cover people's hearts, pressing everyone to gasp.
The storm is coming!
In the face of the power of nature, even ninjas can be said to be helpless.
In the village, they can resist the encroachment of external forces through the sealing enchantments placed around the village, but it is not easy to go out.
"No matter what we face, there will be a fierce battle." Looking at the sky, Mike Kay said to the sword shadow beside him.
The two of them have not yet recovered from the pain of seasickness, but the actions of the Sand Shinobi Group are a sign that the incident is about to enter the most critical part, and now there is another storm coming. At that point, they will be confronted not only by man, but also by the power of nature.
Mike Kay leaned on the side of the ship, looking at the magnificent sea, and the gloom on his brow never disappeared. "Haven't they stopped yet?"
"Without stopping, I saw the boat behind them, and there were more than a dozen people left behind on it."
"Where's the ship?"
Sword Shadow replied, "It's four o'clock in our direction." ”
More than a hundred men of the main battle force were already in the direction of one o'clock, and now the wind and waves were getting stronger, and the ships were difficult to navigate, and it was impossible to catch up with them at this speed.
"Sword Shadow, leave your shadow clone to control the ship, and we'll catch up." The change of environment brings greater uncertainty, and with the intuition of the warrior, Mike Kay is unwilling to stay far away, too far away from the battlefield to accurately seize the opportunity, and only rely on the sword shadow to report, without a sense of reality.
"Bang bang bang..."
With his hands clasped together in front of his chest, the seal was sealed, and six shadow clones appeared.
These sword shadows that appeared didn't need to be assigned tasks, they knew what they were going to do, and Yanagi Sword Shadow said, "Teacher, let's go!" ”
Mike Kay nodded, and after answering the "yes", his feet paused, and his slightly bent knees only made a shaking gesture, and the man jumped into the air, and then, he turned into a predatory falcon, and landed quickly, making a large splash on the sea, and then being torn into foam by the howling wind.
Immediately behind was the sword shadow, his body "whirring" and disappearing from the spot, landing on Mike Kay's side in an instant.
Ninja, the art of instantaneousness!
The nature of this technique is between the physical technique and the ninjutsu.,To be specific.,The instantaneous technique is the technique between the physical technique and the ninjutsu with spatial characteristics.。
When casting it, it must be supported by strong explosive power, at least not too weak physically; Then there is the grasp of the ninjutsu itself, twisting the obstacles in the space around the body so that the caster can reach the target position in an instant.
Unlike the space-time ninjutsu that defines the coordinates, the instantaneous body technique can only be performed within a certain range, and it is impossible to cross a distance of 100 meters, it is similar to a sharp weapon for moving the body in a small area. Compared to the real space-time ninjutsu, it has low requirements, but it has the ability to move quickly over short distances.
In the words of martial arts novels, one is a top-level light skill with the ability to move quickly and for hurrying, and the other is a footwork specially used for maneuvering.
The clouds seemed to move slowly, but within two hours, the storm was hanging over everyone's heads.
With waves more than ten meters high and undulating and bumpy seas, even ninjas must be impressed by the power of nature.
The hundreds of people of the sand ninja stood on the sea surface where the giant shark was about to pass in this environment, and the most critical sealing troops were even more solemn, they knew that this kind of weather should not have sent so many troops, but the village had already given the answer, if it could not be captured, no matter what method was used, it would be killed on the spot, and it must not be allowed to fall into the hands of other forces.
"Don't those idiots know that this weather is likely to bury us?"
Hearing a ninja beside him complain loudly, Dochka drifted over and ignored it, he looked down at the many companions "below", and after a moment, the position of the companions "below" began to rise, and he himself changed from the top high to the low, looking around as if he was shrouded in the sea.
The shadows above her head did not disperse, and even greater oppression swept in, and Dochka jumped into the air with several ninjas beside her, running to the top of the surging waves with the help of the rolling waves.
In order not to be drowned by the waves, their movements cannot be stopped, and they need to constantly move their positions.
Rain, waves, gale, clouds, lightning, everything cast a shadow over the capture plan.
Dochka didn't complain, but in her heart she agreed with the ninja, even if she knew the value of the psychic beast.
It is said that ninjas from several countries have already appeared in the vicinity, and other scattered forces have also gathered nearby, so it is more cost-effective for him to change his plan and focus on eliminating the hands and feet of other countries.
Compared to the psychic beast round-up plan that could not see the results, more Zhongnin believed that killing the enemy's living force would bring more confidence and honor.
It's not because they're shallow, it's just that the giant shark's concealment ability and speed are too fast, and for a whole year, there are only a few fights with the sand ninja.
There are thousands of ninjas, although they are numerous, but they can be distributed along 8,000 kilometers of coastline, which is just a drop in the bucket, let alone looking for something hidden under the surface of the sea. In modern time and space, its coastline is only 18,000 kilometers, and even if there is a radar to deal with the enemy on the sea, there are often places that cannot be taken care of, not to mention that there are only more than 1,000 ninjas sent by Sand Ninja Village.
The line of sight was affected, the sound could not be heard, and the hundreds of people scattered here could only be contacted by signal flares.
But the flare can only convey rough information, such as finding a target, encountering a strong enemy, etc., and the specific affairs are not to be considered. Therefore, once they encounter the enemy, they attack as soon as possible, and solve the problems they can solve on the spot, and they can no longer use signal flares to summon reinforcements.
Luckily, the ninjas here have battlefield experience and won't make the mistakes of newcomers.
The sand ninjas are ready, just waiting for the goal to pass through here.
But they didn't expect that the people waiting in this place were not just them, the six people who were suspected by Mike Kay of being the rain ninja and the rebellion dived into the water early, and it couldn't be affected by the high waves and strong winds, they didn't take action, just like the drifting creatures in the ocean, shaking their bodies under the action of the seawater, as long as they moved from time to time, the position would not deviate too much.
In addition to the "rain ninja" under the nose of the sand ninja, there is also the fog ninja who came to the nearby and jumped on the waves, and the problems encountered by the sand ninja are also their predicament.
Although the Fog Hidden Village of the Water Country is dominated by water escapes, in the face of the monstrous might, the Fog Ninja can only lower his head. It's just that compared with the sand ninja, they seem to be able to deal with the wind and waves all year round, and they can ensure the next combat effectiveness to the greatest extent.
It's like at the end of the movie, Mike Kay and Sword Shadow finally arrived, and the message from the clone in front of them, Sword Shadow stopped Mike Kay, and then forward is the hunting ground set by Sand Ninja, and now is not the time for them to break in.
