144-Life and Death-1
"This passage in the sand is ten kilometers long and crosses these high mountains in the southwest mountain range. So if we were to set up the detonation charm, I would propose to place it at both exits of the passage at the same time, so that we would have enough time to retreat safely. One of the corps commanders suggested.
This is an elderly middle-aged ninja named Nagayama Shuji, about 40 years old.
The Konoha ninjas of this generation are all elites who survived the Second Ninja World War, and they have good strength and rich experience.
Orochimaru sent this old qualification to Qing Shui in the hope that his rich battlefield experience could help Qing Shui a thing or two.
"I think so too, and suggest placing detonators in both parts of the passage at the same time. In addition, in terms of the number of people, I propose that the passage on the side of the Fire Country send the strength of 2 legions, and the passage in the Kawanokuni territory can send 1 legion. The intelligence just fed back shows that the strength of the sand hidden guard on the other side is not strong. β
This time it was another ninja who was about 30 years old and middle-aged Shinobi named Harada, who was also an elite who survived the Second Shinobi World War.
Before their army camped and rested, he had already sent a small detachment to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and it can be said that he was quite well prepared.
"How long do you think it will take for Shayin to open such a passage?" Suddenly, Shimizu asked such a question.
Nagayama Shuji analyzed: "It has only been a few years since the end of World War II, and the plan should have started after the war...... So it should be within two years. β
"Considering that this is far from the mainland of the windy country, the actual time is probably shorter."
"That shows that Shayin has a strong ability to dig this kind of channel." Shimizu concluded.
"So if we only blow up the two ends, in case the passage in the middle part is not damaged...... With the ability of Sha Yin, I am afraid that this channel will be reopened in a few months. β
"Then we didn't actually cut off their supply lines, but only temporarily hindered the enemy's advance."
"When the time comes, if we want to raid again, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."
"The April commander has a point." Harada agreed.
"Seniors, let's just call me by my name."
"Okay." Harada is not hypocritical, and responds directly.
"So you mean we're going to place the detonator all over the entire passage?" Nagayama asked.
"Yes, that will keep the mission done."
"The whole passage is 10 kilometers long, and we have to set up detonation charms, and even if we are fast, it will take at least 20 minutes to evacuate. And if we disperse our forces again, I'm afraid it will ......" Nagayama Suji did not say it explicitly in the next words, but the meaning was very clear, and this task was impossible to accomplish.
Originally, if you just set up a detonation charm at the entrance of the passage, you just need to catch the enemy by surprise, arrange everything before the enemy forms a counterattack force, and then quickly evacuate.
But now Shimizu's request is to place the detonator throughout the passage, and the Konoha ninja who responds at the entrance of the passage will inevitably clash head-on with the enemy, and this time is enough time for Sungakure to react and surround them all.
How to retreat when the time comes?
Moreover, the number of enemies stationed in this side of the Fire Country has been proved to be no less than 2,000 people, and it will be difficult for Konoha to win in a head-on battle.
Qing Shui took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice, "Concentrate all your forces and attack the passage on this side of the Fire Country." β
"Open the breach and let me in, and then you stay at the entrance of the passageway. I'll place the detonator in the entire passage, seal the other exit, and then turn it back as fast as I can. β
"If I'm alone, 10 minutes is enough."
"What?! Shimizu you ......"
"That's too risky!"
"If I don't come back within 10 minutes, then you can block the exit of this passage and evacuate - don't let Sand Hide come in and destroy the detonation charm I have arranged, or we will fall short."
"If that's the case, then you're going to come out on the other side of the passage?" Nagayama asked.
"Yes, that's the only way."
"But there are also guards from the other side of the sand and hidden troops, so you rush out like this......" Harada reminded.
"No, as long as I'm fast enough. The enemy won't notice me until they react. β
"The means of communication between their two sides must have relied on those eagles. Wait for the enemy on this side to confirm our whereabouts, and then send these eagles to pass on the information......"
"These mountains are so high, even eagles must not reach the other side so quickly."
"The time difference here is my chance."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Shimizu eventually convinced the two of them, because his proposal was indeed more appealing in terms of completing the task.
It's just that once he chooses to step into that passage alone, then Qing Shui has no way out, and he must complete this task.
And I'm afraid that in that passage, even if there are lighting facilities, I am afraid that the vision will be greatly affected, and the speed of progress will be greatly affected.
It only took 10 minutes to complete all this, and in this life-and-death limit, he had to set up all the detonation charms before he could evacuate.
Can it be done?
Yes.
Absolutely!
Because of speed, he is most proud.
Even Sanninja is not as good as him!
"If you go any further, you'll be in the warning range of the sand." Nagayama looked around and said softly.
From here, Shayin has arranged a large number of enchantments and sentry posts, and it is impossible to touch them quietly.
"Then go ahead, get ready for a raid." Qing Shui said in a deep voice, and he tightened the scroll in his armsβthis was a sealing scroll with 9 sealing positions, and a total of nearly a million detonation charms were sealed.
They will put an end to this passage once and for all.
"Harada's troops are on the periphery to pick us up at any time."
"The deepest part of this sand hidden position is the passage entrance, the first assault team will open the gap first, the ninjutsu team will be responsible for harassment and destruction, and the protection team will guard the flank and the last of the team."
"Qing Shui, you and the ninjutsu team, try not to make a move, keep the chakra...... After escorting you to the entrance of the passage, we will stay there for ten minutes! β
"Good!"
"It's almost time......" Nagayama said in a deep voice after looking at the sky.
The time agreed with Orochimaru to attack was four o'clock in the morning on January 20, and the two of them would raid their respective targets at the same time, in case the enemy had time to support each other, or the possibility of increased vigilance after the communication message.
"Now Orochimaru should be ready for a fight......
'I wonder if everything is going well on his side?' β
I can't even care about what I want to do. β
Qing Shui suddenly laughed at himself.
He threw away all distractions and resolutely said, "Go! β
The battle started in an instant!
