Around noon, the Kirigakure ninjas began to advance.
Dragonflies were flying across the sky, looking at the crowds of people on the coastline that were as dense as ants.
The formation was very scattered, spread out in rows, and moved forward quickly.
As he walked quickly, the forest land was as smooth as walking on flat ground, and the complicated mountain and forest roads could not cause any obstacles at all.
"Attention, detonating talisman trap."
The investigating ninja conveyed, and then the detonating charm trap was triggered.
Ordinary detonating charm traps are triggered by trip wires. This type is easy to see through on the battlefield.
Orochimaru didn't expect this simple trick to stop the opponent's progress, and his troops were limited and he didn't send any blocking troops to interfere.
but...
Looking at the dense forest with thick smoke rising in the distance, Orochimaru licked his lips under his hood, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised on his beautiful cheeks.
What is the scariest thing about snakes?
venom?
No, it lies in the secret lurking and the ready fatal blow.
Before that, you have to wait patiently for the prey to reveal its flaws.
Explosions sounded one after another, and under the chain reaction, the detonating symbols arranged ignited the explosions one after another. With the continuous explosions, frequent fires and billowing smoke, the dense forest burned, and the burning flames rose into the sky.
As a little trick, Orochimaru arranged fuel, a kind of oil-spitting snake, in the dense forest beforehand.
The huge rising wall of fire isolated the two sides, and the fire field between them was like a chasm.
"Extinguishing!"
There are no special techniques for communication on the battlefield, and we basically rely on shouting.
In contrast, Konoha's troops have telepathic communication with the Yamanaka clan.
Most of the ninjas in Kirigakure are capable of water escape. Although there are ninjas with other escape techniques, their numbers are too rare.
Although Kirigakure's ninjas are no strangers to fire, they are not very familiar with it either. The environment in the village is difficult to navigate.
The fire exploded rapidly and grew larger in the blink of an eye.
The ninjas continued to release water to extinguish the fire, but the effect was not ideal.
Half an hour later, the fire gradually got out of control. If it continued, they would be surrounded by the fire. The continuous high-intensity release of escape techniques. Many ninjas could no longer withstand this rhythm. If they continued, even if they could rush out of the fire, they would lose their fighting ability.
.
In the main tent at the rear, a ninja entered the tent and knelt down on one knee to report the battle situation.
"The fire is out of control. Many people are suspected of being poisoned and fainting. They may be in danger of being surrounded, Master Yuanshi."
The middle-aged man on the main seat pondered and said, "Retreat."
"retreat!"
The first wave of tentative offensive ended in a hurry without any casualties.
After receiving the order, Kirigakure's ninjas retreated one after another.
"Master Yuanshi." In the tent, a plump man said: "The large army from the Kingdom of Thunder is about to arrive. If we don't capture the Kingdom of Whirlpool first..."
By then I'm afraid there won't be much benefit left.
It is inevitable that he will have to fight with the bandits of the Kingdom of Thunder.
"Watermelon Mountain kid, I know." Master Yuan said, "Konoha is not easy to mess with."
As an old man who retired from the First Ninja War, I was deeply impressed by this.
"That insect queen hasn't appeared yet." Master Yuan said, "Don't forget the big defeat six years ago. Why not let the reckless men of the Kingdom of Thunder find out the details."
"We must first determine who is leading the battle in Konoha."
All the ninjas nodded in agreement.
Although what he said made sense, for a while, the momentum of the team was contained.
"Retreat?" Orochimaru stared at the movements on the other side of the fire field and muttered to himself doubtfully: "Aren't you planning to waste chakra?"
But chakra is not something else, just like strength, it will be there after you use it.
This is obviously...
Orochimaru is a bit strange, but even stranger is Orochimaru himself.
Logically speaking, there was a fire scene in the jungle and a wide area of cultivated land. Orochimaru could not see Kirigakure's movements from such a long distance.
But Orochimaru has snakes.
This is a secret technique developed by Orochimaru.
"Interesting, just what I want." With that said, Orochimaru turned around and left the city wall.
We can't start fighting for the time being. Given the size of the dense forest, this forest fire will last for several days.
Time was gained, which was originally one of the goals.
At this time, on the outskirts of the battlefield, some wandering wild ninjas appeared nearby. As a small group that did not belong to any force, the purpose of coming here was to collect information and sell it.
Not long after, the information secretly spread throughout the ninja world through underground money exchanges.
Refers to n-hand information that money can buy.
The forest fires have been burning for three days, and the evacuation of the people of the Whirlpool Kingdom is proceeding in an orderly manner.
The current situation is that there are too many people but too few ships. Craftsmen are working hard to build ships. At the same time, Konoha's first batch of supplies arrived from the sea, and they took a group of people from the Country of Uzumaki with them when they returned.
The hidden port has not been discovered yet, and the underground passage built by Thousand Hands serves as an evacuation route for the people.
The main personnel are the villagers of Uzushio Village and residents of nearby small villages and towns. Many civilians choose to take the risk of overland and rush to the Land of Fire.
At this time, the troops from the Kingdom of Thunder arrived on the northeast side of the Kingdom of Whirlpool.
This is a fleet, or fleet, and ironclad ships are relatively rare in this era.
The ship's artillery is somewhat powerful, but has limited range.
A group of black-skinned men jumped off the armored ship and walked straight to the coast without waiting for the fleet to dock.
In fact, there is no way to reach the shore and there is no deep-water port.
In the ninja world, naval battles are basically a joke. A single water escape can easily overturn a battleship.
The role of the ship is basically a combat platform for ninjas to settle down.
Following closely behind were the troops from the Kingdom of Wind.
Sunagakure, who took a boat from the River Country, first bypassed the Tea Country and landed in the south of the Whirlpool Country.
They were all dressed up like desert dwellers, wearing turbans and carrying scrolls on their backs.
At this time, it was surrounded on three sides.
The country of thunder is to the north, the country of water is to the east, and the country of wind is to the south.
The situation is extremely bad.
The ninja world is waiting for the outcome of this battle.
All parties have their own agendas.
In the Land of Earth, Iwagakure Village, the shrewd and cunning Onoki was patiently waiting for the opportunity to place his bet, and the ninjas in the village began to gather and prepare for battle.
The most ideal situation is for Konoha to bite off a piece of flesh.
It depends on how intense the battle in the Kingdom of Whirlpool is.
All the five major villages started to move, and Xiaoren Village was no exception. They were all agitated.
The opportunity has come.
Hanzo silently stared at the map of the ninja world, preparing for many years. Success or failure depended on this. To grow, the Kingdom of Rain needed population and territory, and plundering everything that could be plundered was his goal.
At the same time, the ninjas of Kusakure Village were gearing up.
It has to be said that it was a pity that we did not participate in the First Ninja World War. We have accumulated strength for many years and now we have become the sixth largest nation. We are bound to restore the glory of our ancestors who unified the Ninja World.
Senior executives are optimistic about this.
They have an ace up their sleeve.
Equally optimistic are the Kong Ninjas. The narrow living space is no longer bearable. In this war, they will definitely set foot on the Ninja World continent and win a place.
Sitting on the aerial ace ninja force that is unique in the ninja world, I have the advantage.
If you have good teeth, you have to chew on the hardest bones.
The Kong Ninja's target is Konoha.
Instead, becoming the new favorite of the Fire Nation's daimyo is their goal.
The Yu Ninja Village in the Country of Yu was still a famous fighting ninja village in the ninja world at this time. It loved peace and was famous for its crazy and desperate fighting. At this time, they were suffering from financial problems and decided whoever offered the highest price would join.
Which side.
In addition to the samurai from the Kingdom of Iron, there are also ninjas from the Craft Ninja Village who are also planning to do business. One family sells kunai and the other sells detonating charms. There is no conflict.
In addition, there are Ninja Villages that are not so optimistic. The ninjas in Longyin Village have silently closed contact with the outside world.
Completely isolated from the rest of the world to avoid being affected by the flames of war.
