Chapter 68: Convergence
"Sure enough, exactly as I expected, the ultimate goal of the Oni Country in the northwest region of the Wind Country is to get Kazami Castle."
Luo Sha looked at the map of the Land of the Wind unfolding in front of him, and he looked expected.
Most of the northwestern regions of the Land of the Wind are resource-poor areas, and buildings are built in villages and towns, while large cities are relatively rare.
Unfortunately, Kazami Castle is the only large city in the Northwest Territory.
Kazami Castle is an oasis in the northwest of the country, where water is abundant and the soil is very suitable for crops, and it has always been an important resource gathering area in the land of the wind.
Because of this, in the past, the Land of Wind built a large-scale city on this oasis, and this city is Kazami Castle.
An important transit point connecting the northwest and central hinterland of the Land of Wind, it is a city that cannot be lost in the Land of Wind.
The Ghost Country's northwest strategy in the Land of Wind, and the ultimate goal is also Kazami Castle, which also proves the conjecture in Luo Sha's heart.
Although it is not known what the Ghost Country intends to take over the northwest region of the Wind Country, their ambitions are clear, and they must have a major plan in the northwest of the Wind Country.
They can't be allowed to succeed. This was the only thought in Luo Sha's mind.
Implementing this decoy strategy is actually risky.
For example, before defeating the country of ghosts, the village of Sand Yin had to bear great pressure from public opinion, even though it had been mentioned to the daimyo early on, and the unit had to ensure the successful implementation of the strategy, and the daimyo also needed to keep it secret.
For another example, the Oni Country ignored their strategy, resisted the bait of the northwest land of the Wind Country, and directly stopped the attack.
Then, no matter how carefully planned the strategy is, it will not be able to deal an effective blow to the country of ghosts.
Fortunately, because of the continuous victories, the country of ghosts has been blinded, and the offensive posture has become more and more ferocious every time, and even his own wind shadow has been 'hit hard', which has aggravated the arrogance of the country of ghosts.
Luo Sha thought about it carefully several times, this strategy did not have the slightest flaw from beginning to end, after all, the situation on Konoha's side was strictly kept secret from the country of ghosts, which was also a major prerequisite for the implementation of this strategy.
In this way, all the conditions for the strategy of the bait trap have been met.
"In that case, let's act as soon as possible. There's no problem with Kazekage's injuries, right? ”
Jiraiya, who was standing on the side, asked.
Luo Sha nodded and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, my injuries were almost healed two days ago, as for what looks so bad, it is actually a skin injury that I made myself, but it just looks serious." ”
In the enemy's reconnaissance, he, the wind shadow, had already returned to Shayin Village to recuperate from his injuries, and the front-line Shayin troops were leaderless and their morale was low.
But in fact, he did return to the Sand Hidden Village once, and then secretly returned to the front line from other routes, and mobilized a surprise force composed of a thousand elite Sand Ninja in the Sand Hidden Village, around the coastal line of the Wind Country, from the rear to flank the Oni Country ninja troops stranded in the northwest of the Wind Country, completely cutting off their way back to the Ghost Country.
"But there is one thing to note, and that is that I mentioned before, which is too much of the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye ability of Uchiha Ruri."
Speaking of this, Luo Sha's face was solemn, and he was still a little apprehensive.
Seeing that Jiraiya and the others were listening carefully, Luo Sha continued: "Let me summarize, Uchiha Ruri's kaleidoscope pupil technique, under my temptation, has a total of two abilities. The first ability is to be able to cover a special kind of lightning on Susanoh's blade, giving Susanoh's chakra blade a powerful slashing power, which can bend space to a certain extent. That's what she used to block my largest and most devastating gold dust attack. ”
Zilai also nodded his head.
He remembered that in Konoha's intelligence, his disciple Bo Feng Shuimen had also mentioned before his death that the main envoy who controlled the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha behind the scenes could use some kind of spatial ninjutsu, and it was related to the three of Chiba Shiraishi.
From this point of view, the direct controller of the Nine-Tails at the beginning was undoubtedly Uchiha Ruri.
is related to Chiba Shiraishi and has the pupil technique that disturbs time and space, all of which are in line with the speculation made by Mizumon at that time.
"The second type of pupil ability is also related to that special kind of thunder and lightning. It can cover Susano's whole body with special lightning and move at high speeds, a speed that goes beyond the scope of ordinary teleportation techniques. Therefore, Susanoo, who looks bulky, is actually very terrifying in maneuvering under the control of Uchiha Ruri, so you have to be extra careful. ”
Susanoo is a symbol of the 'God of Destruction', and his offensive and defensive abilities are so powerful that ordinary ninjas feel desperate.
Even a five-shadow like Raksha would have a hard time breaking through Susanoo's shell.
However, Susanoo also has a disadvantage, that is, it is relatively slow to move, and it looks very bulky.
It's just that most of the time, Susa Nenghu's ability to destroy on a large scale makes up for this shortcoming.
However, when facing a real high-mobility ninja, the disadvantage of being bulky will be infinitely magnified.
However, Uchiha Ruri is able to use Hitomi Jutsu to instantly transfer the huge Susano like a ninja.
It also means that in the hands of Ruri, Susa Neng's bulky shortcomings have been made up.
High mechanical power, mass destruction capabilities, hard as iron shell...... Susanoo is no longer flawed.
If there is a flaw, it may only be the chakra limit, which is not a weakness.
"It's really worthy of His Excellency Kazekage, it only took two battles to get so much valuable information. That way, our odds are greater. ”
Jiraiya smiled.
"Well, of course, it is not ruled out that Uchiha Ruri has some other means that have not been used. But I estimate that when fighting me, she should have used at least seventy percent of her strength, in short, she is not an invincible strong enemy. ”
Rosa nodded, stating his estimates.
Next, without pause, Luo Sha pointed to the map of the northwest region of the Land of Wind, and continued:
"I'll assign the task now, there are four thousand sand ninjas participating in the assault mission this time, plus one thousand sand ninjas who are responsible for the assault on the coast, a total of five thousand ninjas. I would divide the five thousand ninjas into five assault units, and each thousand ninjas would form an assault regiment. Among them, the assault force along the coast is the Fifth Assault Corps, which is responsible for cutting off the retreat of the ninja troops of the Oni Country after circling around. ”
After that, Luo Sha glanced at several of the upper ninja subordinates in the conference room:
"And we have four assault regiments here, deployed from one to four. The 1st and 2nd Assault Corps are responsible for frontal assaults, and must cut into the battlefield in an encircled position and do not charge in a single line. Then, as the captain of the 3rd Assault Corps, I cut into the battlefield from the east and provided flank support. The Fourth Assault Corps does not need to participate in the encirclement and suppression battle, and its main task is to intercept the support troops in the base of the Oni Country in the middle of the way. ”
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd assault units are responsible for cutting into the main battlefield, and the 4th assault corps is responsible for intercepting enemy reinforcements and avoiding accidents on the main battlefield.
The Fifth Assault Corps, on the other hand, went around to intercept all the enemy's retreats in the Land of the Wind, but asked not to let any enemy escape from the northwest of the Land of the Wind.
Cutting into the battlefield, blocking reinforcements, and finally cutting off the enemy's retreat, all aspects are in Luo Sha's consideration.
A total of 5,000 ninja troops were invested, and Luo Sha believed that this encirclement and suppression battle could be said to be foolproof, and there was no mistake.
"Yes."
Several of them, who were each the captains of the assault corps, nodded solemnly.
"Finally, please all of you in Konoha to serve as the forward assault team of this annihilation mission. Once the tactical containment is successful, we will launch a surprise operation based on the signals sent by the Konoha people. Trouble. ”
Rasha's gaze fell on Jiraiya.
"Just leave it to us."
Jiraiya nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
"Now, then, let's go."
Luo Sha's face was solemn, and he took the lead and led everyone to the battlefield.
◎
On the endless desert, it has just experienced the baptism of sandstorms, and a large amount of flying sand is left on the desert.
In such bad weather, the field of view will be very poor.
There was also the sound of wind and sand blowing in my ears.
Ordinary business travelers, at such times, will pause in the nearest town, and wait for the wind and sand to pass before continuing to advance.
However, the ninjas have long been accustomed to such harsh environments, and as long as they are not exposed to a large storm, it is not an unbearable thing for the ninjas.
On the stormy desert, a raid team of more than a dozen people quickly ran on the sand, heading in the direction of Kazami Castle.
The sun in the sky was also covered by the yellow sand, and the sky was much darker.
Shiraishi looked up, and there was no half figure in sight on the sand layer in front of him, and on the desert, only him, Ruri, and twelve Oni no Kuni ninjas were hurrying on the road.
Among the twelve Oni no Kuni ninjas, three were also shinobi who belonged to the Uchiha clan, and each of them had a serious expression and silently moved forward with bated breath.
At this moment, Baishi quietly glanced at Liuli, who nodded silently, understanding the meaning in Baishi's eyes.
Then, the two people, who were originally running side by side, suddenly moved their bodies to the side and quickly jumped away from each other.
The twelve ninjas who followed behind the two also dispersed into two waves, jumping away with Shiraishi and Ruri respectively.
There were nine people following Shiraishi, and behind Ruri, there were only three Uchiha ninjas.
And at the moment when they scattered and jumped away, from the bottom of the sand layer, a violent explosion quickly occurred, blowing a crazy storm, making the eyes of Shiraishi and the others briefly narrow due to the storm, to prevent the wind and sand from blowing into their eyes.
Then, one by one the figures leaped out of the sand, they were uniformly wearing the uniform of the sand ninja, jumped to the four corners around the white stone, and at the moment of landing, they had already formed the Indian form and released the ninjutsu.
"Four Purple Flame Array!"
Purple transparent pillars of light immediately rose into the sky, and then joined in pairs, condensing into a sealed barrier with no gaps.
The four sand ninjas who finished casting the enchantment suddenly slammed their bodies, and thick smoke appeared, turning into the appearance of Konoha ninjas, and wearing the costumes of the Konoha Dark Division
The other eleven sand ninjas who fell in the enchantment also underwent the same change, unlocking the transformation technique on their bodies.
The leader is Jiraiya, Ape Feilong, and Ape Fei Purlin.
Those who followed behind them were also all ninja-level masters with names and surnames in Konoha.
Seeing the success of the dark department's operation, Jiraiya looked at Shiraishi and the others, who had been trapped in the enchantment, and a smile appeared on his face.
"With that, the capture is complete."
Shiraishi looked at the purple cube enchantment that spread out around him, his face just thoughtful, and then his gaze swept to Jiraiya, who had a confident smile.
"I see, are you going to use it this way? It's a little more troublesome than I thought.,I want to break this barrier.。 ”
After saying that, Shiraishi raised his head and looked at the sky.
A meteor rises into the sky and explodes in the sky, the sound of which can travel far away.
Shiraishi knew that it was a flare used by the summoners.
According to this trend, the large army of Sand Hidden will soon arrive.
"It's been a long time, Boy Shiraishi, how about such a greeting? Isn't there a sense of surprise? ”
Jiraiya spread his hands at this time and teasingly asked Shiraishi how he felt.
"I'm a little flattered to be so valued by Jiraiya-sama. Anyway, it's okay if Jiraiya-sama asked me to make an unexpected look of surprise at this time. ”
A smile appeared on Bai Shi's face, and he made a pertinent comment.
It's like you already know how the script will play out, and when you think about it, it's not something to be shocked.
"Really? In the past, you would not have said such a thing. ”
Jiraiya remembered something, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Don't say that you seem to know me very well, Jiraiya-sama. This only makes me think you're arrogant. Even Mr. Shuo Mao only learned the tip of the iceberg about me. ”
Shiraishi closed his eyes and sighed softly.
"Why, do you dislike listening to the elders? But now, it seems like you have no way out. Well, if you surrender, my side is also willing to accept it. ”
Jiraiya smiled.
"I'm sorry, Jiraiya-sama, I don't have that kind of plan."
Shiraishi reopened his eyes and said to Jiraiya.
"That's a shame."
"Is it a pity? It's a bit of a shame indeed, because I don't really like things that go beyond the plan. I just wanted to ask, is Konoha really planning to intervene in the battlefield of the Land of Winds? ”
Jiraiya was slightly silent, apparently acquiescing to this result.
Seeing that Jiraiya acquiesced, Shiraishi continued to speak:
"It seems that there is no way to negotiate peacefully. In that case, I have to destroy you as enemies. ”
Shiraishi said regretfully.
"You, who have assassinated four generations of Hokage twice, really dare to speak out here. On what basis did you judge that Konoha would not join this side of the battlefield and choose to let you go? Konoha will not make any compromises to the traitorous ninja. ”
Before he could speak, the ape Feilong on the side had already snorted coldly.
The sacrifice of the four generations of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate in the Nine-Tails Rebellion has always been a hidden pain for Konoha.
Now that he is plotting the real culprit behind the scenes of the four generations of Hokage, but they let Konoha give up at such a time, how can it be done?
What's more, now that they have the advantage, Konoha is even more impossible.
"Really? It seems that it is useless to talk too much, so let's use our own strength to prove that our path is correct. ”
Shiraishi had long expected that Konoha would not give up his actions because of his words, but there was still some luck in his heart, hoping that these Konoha ninjas would let go and not get involved in this battle.
In any case, the blood is stained with the blood of his past 'colleagues', and there may be a trace of unbearable in his heart.
But since they are enemies, they can only ruthlessly destroy them here.
After Shiraishi said this, Sarutoshi and Sarutoshi Purlin stepped forward, and were about to make a move, but Jiraiya reached out to stop the actions of the two, looked at Shiraishi with a serious face, and asked out loud: "Before starting the war, I want to ask you a question." ”
"Questions? Is it a reason to defect? There should be no need to negotiate this kind of thing. ”
"No, the question I want to ask has nothing to do with that. I would like to know, your reason for starting this war. ”
"To get justice from the Land of the Wind, this is the answer."
Bai Shiyun smiled lightly and said the answer directly.
"No, if it's just to recover the so-called arrears, it can be resolved in a peaceful diplomatic way, and if it doesn't get to the point where you have to start a war, you must have a bigger plan."
"That's just your wishful thinking, Jiraiya-sama, it was the country of wind that did it first, and it was the country of ghosts who was forced to fight back. Whatever the complex reasons behind it, this is true. ”
"We all know the facts, don't fool the layman here. It is not a just act to drag a neutral country into the quagmire of war for the sake of his own selfish desires. ”
Jiraiya's tone was already full of solemnity.
It is precisely because he understands the cruelty of war that he will do everything he can to prevent the continuation of the war.
Shiraishi's approach will only plunge the country of ghosts, a neutral country, into the quagmire of war, unable to extricate itself, and countless innocent people's families will be destroyed and their wives will be separated.
He believes that Shiraishi was one of the people who could best understand the pain of war as a member of the Konoha ninja in the past, because Shiraishi must have seen the pain and misfortune of those who lost their homes in the past.
As ninjas, they should have avoided such a thing and cut off such a chain of evil, instead of instigating and igniting war everywhere behind the scenes.
"So what?"
Shiraishi replied.
"What?"
Jirai looked at Shiraishi in disbelief.
"Dragging neutrals into the quagmire of war, so what? In such an era, the country can only be regarded as a pawn in the hand. If you don't have one, you can find the next one, anyway, there are as many chess pieces as you want. ”
"With all this nonsense, how can the state be used as a tool in the hands of people to compete for fame and fortune?"
Jiraiya had an angry look on his face.
Facing Jiraiya, who looked a little excited, Shiraishi's face always maintained an indifferent posture, without any change, and calmly made Jiraiya feel that he was facing an incomparably sophisticated machine, not a living human being.
"Why not? I'm just following my own righteousness. ”
"There is no such justice in the world."
"Then open up such a path of justice."
Shiraishi responded with a smile, his eyes calm, resolute and a little terrifying.
"You're really ......"
Jiraiya clenched his fists, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little struggling.
It is heartbreaking to see the students of former friends go astray like this.
Such a guy has no way to make sense.
"Really?"
Shiraishi tilted his head, not quite understanding the meaning of Jiraiya's words.
Sure enough? What is it anyway?
Ape Feilong said in a low voice at this time: "Brother Jiraiya, give up, it's not clear to talk to such a person." ”
Jiraiya sighed and nodded, and there was a look of determination in his eyes.
He said to Shiraishi, "I originally wanted to spare your life and take you to Myomu Mountain, where the Great Toad Immortal will personally guide you on the right path...... Now, there is no need for this. If you continue to let it go like this, sooner or later it will lead this ninja world into the quagmire of war, displacing countless people. Therefore, I'm going to kill you with my own hands here! ”
There was a murderous look in his eyes.
Shiraishi was not intimidated by such a momentum, but said in a tone with a hint of doubt:
"I don't know where it stimulated you, but is such a self-righteous guess also some kind of prophecy made by Miaomushan...... Should I find a time to go and ask the so-called big toad immortal in your mouth? ”
Miaomu Mountain, he will go to it sooner or later.
A group of god-chattering toads avoid the world and entertain themselves, but since they are already in the way, they can only be erased by hand.
Prophesying and deciding fate, in Shiraishi's opinion, there is no more arrogant rhetoric.
"The realm of immortals is not something that mortals can trespass. Next, let me, a hot-blooded hero, teach the boy how to respect the immortals! ”
Jiraiya laughed, and pressed the oil paint on both sides of his face with both hands, and made a brief outline, as if it was deliberately extended to make it easier to perform a certain technique.
Then, Jiraiya closed his hands tightly and jumped backwards quickly.
Shiraishi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he clearly felt the natural energy changes in the enchantment, and as soon as he stretched out his palm, the shadow under his feet suddenly bulged from the plane as if he had an actual body, conjuring up a shadow blade, tearing through the air, and flying towards Jiraiya's chest.
"Don't try to get it!"
Sarufilong pulled out the ninja sword, with red flames attached to it, and carried out the fire attribute chakra attachment, blocking the assassination of the shadow blade for Jiraiya, and buying time for Jiraiya's technique.
At the same time, the ape flying purlin condensed the chakra scalpel on both hands, and rushed towards the white stone at a rapid speed.
The eight Konoha ninjas on the side also moved when they heard the sound, and rushed towards Shiraishi together with the ape flying purlin.
Shiraishi didn't move in place, and the nine Oni no Kuni ninjas behind him also flew out, took out kunai or ninja knives, and intercepted the nine Konoha ninjas such as Sarutobi purlin in mid-air.
After the nine Oni Ninja successfully intercepted the enemy in the air, the shadow under the white stone's feet suddenly burst again, and a large black shadow protruded from the plane, scattering a large number of slender shadow blades from within, mercilessly penetrating the bodies of the nine Oni Ninja from behind, and stabbing towards the bodies of the nine Konoha ninjas such as Sarutobi without slowing down.
In midair, blood rained.
