In conjunction with the harassment of the upper water clan deep behind Konoha, Iwagakure launched a direct attack.
Fierce fighting broke out on the front line. This was a real meat grinding ground. Every step forward was inevitably accompanied by blood. Iwagakure launched charges again and again, while Konoha defended this position and refused to give an inch.
The outburst of ninjutsu changed the terrain, and the fighting continued all night. By the early morning of the next day, the attack of the Shangshui clan had subsided, and the fighting at the front line was not over.
The fighting will of the ninjas on both sides was extremely tenacious, so the battle was particularly fierce.
At this time, more and more Iwagakure ninjas arrived at the front line from the rear villages. On the other hand, Konoha, let alone sending ninja troops for support, even the supply transportation troops have not yet set off.
If the harassment by the Shangshui clan is not resolved, the supply troops will suffer heavy losses on the road, and very little of the supplies that can be transported to the front line will be left.
As the night passed, Danzo arrived at the Hokage's office with thirty-four urgent letters, urging for reinforcements and supplies. The situation became increasingly unfavorable.
On the other hand, Orochimaru's information arrived in Konoha, Kumogakure and Kirigakure reached a preliminary distribution agreement, and began to approach Konoha using the Country of Whirlpool as a base.
Hanzo from the Country of Rain chose to take the initiative and confront Konoha's troops, holding them back while he watched the situation on the battlefield in the Country of Grass.
The most worrying siege situation has taken shape.
Konoha is in danger.
The early morning sun gradually rose from the horizon. Deep in the desert, the Sunagakure ninjas who had returned overnight looked at the village still burning under the endless flames. Many of them knelt down helplessly and let out heart-rending screams.
The village is gone?
Are so many residents of my village going to be gone?
Where have people gone?
Were they all killed?
Ignoring the possible traps left behind, many collapsed ninjas rushed into the village, looking for possible survivors.
After searching for a while, I found nothing.
The person seemed to disappear out of thin air, not to mention the human figure. After the corpse was collected and buried, when the number was counted, it was obvious that something was wrong.
These corpses were gathered together by the ninjas of Konoha and buried together. Apart from that, there was nothing else superfluous.
Walking in the village under the embers of the remaining fire, many Sunagakure ninjas looked confused.
They came back to fight for their lives, but what about the enemy?
There is a fire in my heart that needs to be vented urgently.
"Fight with Konoha!"
"Go back! Fight with those ninjas in Konoha!"
The ninjas of Sunagakure were excited.
"The person must be in Konoha's hands!"
One person said anxiously.
His children, wife, may be inside.
If he wanted to save them, it seemed that he had no other choice but to fight for Konoha.
but...
He hesitated. He was in Konoha's hands. What if Konoha threatened him with hostages and put down his weapons and stopped resisting.
"Save it, Sunagakure is finished." A ninja said dejectedly: "Desperately? Our supplies are gone. Today's rations are gone. Where are tomorrow's rations? Fight against Konoha? Stop making trouble!"
The thoughts of everyone in Shayin were floating.
The top priority is to stabilize the morale of the military. Our hometown has been ruined, and now we need a new stable base.
Otherwise, all these ninjas will die in the desert. If this is not resolved, mutiny and large-scale rebellion will be obvious.
"Sir, no food was found." A Sunagakure ninja reported to the leader.
"Where's the water?" Lu asked anxiously.
"It is contaminated by poisoning." The ninja said: "The puppet army is urgently making an antidote, but we lack herbs and there is little hope of cracking it."
Bad news comes one after another, but this is not the worst.
They don't have enough water anymore.
We can endure it for a while without food, and without water, for three days, at most three days. There are still three days for more than 10,000 people in the desert.
"Intelligence came from the reconnaissance squad. The Daimyo clan was killed. The entire Kingdom of Wind is in chaos. The situation needs to be suppressed."
Suppression?
Repressed for whom?
The name is gone.
Sitting in the first place, the leader of Sunagakure, Lu, was at a loss and had no idea how to deal with the current situation.
"Rest on the spot! Wait for orders!"
Fortunately! He still has a mother!
It's just that Chiyo's body needs to be repaired.
Until then, we are on standby.
On the edge of the desert, an army is about to step out of the desert.
Facing the morning sun, the ninja, who had not had a good rest all day, lay on the sand to rest tiredly. When setting off, Meiji only carried three days of rations, but after intense exercise, especially water, she would intensify her consumption.
The body needs to replenish a lot of water.
I supplemented it when I was in the oasis, but it was far from enough.
Not far away at this time, patches of beetles were spread out on the desert, forming a spectacular black field.
These beetles are collecting foggy water over the desert in the early morning, which is the most humid time of the day in the desert. Water droplets condense on the carapace and are collected in large quantities in temporarily dug puddles.
The Konoha ninja marveled at this scene and took off the kettle and filled it with sweet dew from the pit.
Mei Ji sat on the floor, holding her chin in one hand, as if in a daze.
Zhili was already used to these actions. She took her own water bottle and sipped it lightly. She didn't exercise very much, but she felt sticky and uncomfortable and wanted to take a bath.
"An interesting scene happened." Mei Ji said softly.
Tilting his head and looking at Mei Ji's charred mask, Zhili asked curiously: "What?"
"Riot." Mei Ji said: "Without the restraint of rules and the guidance of caring people, some local residents rioted."
"Isn't this better? It saves us the trouble." Zhili said.
"I just find it amazing that after one mountain is leveled, another one grows up. Nothing has changed at all compared to before." Meiji said: "As expected, Sunagakure will be busy suppressing domestic riots.
Support new daimyo."
"Then what we did before was in vain."
"No, the new daimyo is not so easy to support." Mei Ji said: "He has no legitimacy and no divinity in him. Other desert tribes will not accept it. Others can, and of course I can, too. Sunagakure has to face
The question is who to support. Even if these disputes are ended, Sunagakure will still have to deal with the problem of cleaning up the mess, and there will be no spare energy for the second ninja war."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Isn't it good?" Zhili didn't care about this problem.
"Lord Chongji, she's awake." A ninja came to report.
Meiji stood up and walked towards where the girl was.
The little girl was devouring the ninja dry food, shouting that it tasted bad, and stuffing it into her mouth as hard as she could.
She was starving.
When the surrounding ninjas saw Miki, they bowed their heads and stepped aside.
Mei Ji did not disturb the little girl's eating and waited patiently.
Probably out of embarrassment, the little girl gradually stopped eating and looked at Mei Ji curiously.
She wasn't too scared. She knew that she was saved by the person in front of her.
"What's your name?" Mei Ji asked.
"Letasha," the girl said.
"Is it a desert tribe?" Mei Ji asked.
The girl nodded, shook her head, and said: "We are citizens of the ancient Loulan country. The ancient Loulan country was destroyed many years ago, and we have been wandering in the desert."
"The ancient Loulan country, where is your queen?" Mei Ji asked.
The little girl rolled her eyes and shed tears.
The crying was real, and the play was real. Mei Ji knew very well that the smart little guy was gaining sympathy, probably because after being rescued, she saw that this large group of ninjas were kinder and more talkative.
"The Queen has been captured." The girl cried: "There is a big bird with iron wings in the sky, a big iron ship on the sea, and a city flying in the sky. Many ninjas are hovering in the city like birds.
around.”
The logic is very clear, the narrative is very complete and organized, this child is no ordinary child.
"Don't worry, you are safe now." Meiji said.
Since other desert peoples can do it, Loulan can naturally do it too. The desert needs to continue to be chaotic to prevent Sunagakure from taking action.
Mei Ji stood up, as if she didn't intend to continue the conversation.
"Big sister!" the little girl called out to Mei Ji anxiously.
Meiji lowered her head and looked down at the girl.
Under the oppressive momentum, the little girl subconsciously took a step back, and quickly plucked up the courage to say: "Can you save us, kind-hearted ninja sister!"
The kind-hearted ninja sister.
Hearing this, Meiji chuckled softly.
This name is a bit awkward, but Meiji is very self-aware.
"Sorry, I don't have time." Mei Ji said, "Stay here peacefully, you have been rescued."
"Big sister!" The girl chopped off her feet and gritted her teeth and said, "You are ninjas! I heard that ninjas can accept mission entrustments! We have money! Lots and lots of money!"
"Sorry, not all commissions can be accepted." Mei Ji said, "I don't have the authority."
Hearing this, the surrounding ninjas all rolled their eyes.
The little girl stared at Mei Ji.
Lying, he clearly looks like a high-ranking leader.
"Besides, don't talk about my money, it will kill people." After saying that, Mei Ji rubbed the girl's head and turned to leave.
"Wait!" the girl said, "I will exchange the secrets that our family has guarded for generations!"
Dragon veins.
But what Mei Ji wants is not dragon veins.
Turning back, Mei Ji said: "So, do you have the right to deal with this secret, kid?"
What! You don’t believe me at all!
The little girl widened her eyes and said, "Of course! I am the next queen of Loulan!"
"Really?" Meiji said, "I refuse."
"Why!?" The little queen raised her voice in disbelief.
"Sorry, I'm not interested." Mei Ji said, "The only person you can rely on is yourself."
Meiji walked away. The little queen couldn't understand. After a few minutes, the team started again.
Being carried by a ninja and marching quickly, the little queen buried her head angrily and had to find a way to save everyone.
Outside Konoha Village, ninja bees were flying in swarms in the sky, once again successfully carrying out an attack.
After trying all kinds of methods, Konoha seems to have no way to deal with them.
"Konoha, the number one ninja village in the ninja world, is nothing more than this." A ninja from the upper water clan said proudly.
So far, their personnel losses have been extremely limited. This kind of harassment can continue continuously, because...
"Konoha's products are so rich!" Another member of the upper water family exclaimed with envy: "I really want to live here forever."
With abundant products and a lack of natural enemies, the bee colonies of the Shangshui River Clan have been growing in strength.
When they called it a day and returned home, the two of them kept chatting.
"Did you hear that something strange happened?"
"Some strange changes have occurred in the hive swarm of Team Three."
"Strange changes?"
"During the mission last night, I heard from the people of the second team that they were very close to the third team." The ninja of the Shangshuiyu clan said: "There have been some terrible changes in the hive. Some of the ninja bees produced have serious distortions. Overall,
The reproductive rate has dropped, and some queens have lost the ability to lay eggs. It seems to be a terrible unknown disease."
"It's really weird."
Riding the giant bee, the two landed in a branch nest in the wild.
Everything went as usual, they landed in the nest. After a night of fighting, the remaining large group of ninja bees followed the giant bees into the nest.
But soon, a change occurred.
The remaining bees in the hive rioted and swarmed out, attacking the returning bees and preventing them from entering the hive.
What's going on here?
Even the Shangshuiliu clan themselves were attacked by the hive swarm. Their expressions changed greatly, and the Shangshuiliu clan instructed the swarm to retreat.
The people left behind were stunned, and after regaining their senses, they frantically formed seals in an attempt to prevent the swarm from rioting.
But the bee swarm ignored the orders of the upper water family.
The safety of the hive is the first priority.
He did not let them go, followed them closely, launched a crazy attack, and completely eliminated the threat.
Among the ninja bees flying everywhere, one party was unable to fight back and retreated in embarrassment, full of grievances. The other party attacked relentlessly and madly, biting, dragging and stinging, and surrounded them.
The baby is wronged. I seem to be dead, but I am not dead. I am very confused. So should I fight back? Under the suppression of the queen bee's pheromones, she will not fight back even if she dies. The safety of the hive comes first. This one,
It's also engraved in their genes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The corpses of Ninja Bees continue to fall.
Two ninjas from the Shangshui clan hurriedly took out the antidote to save themselves, but in the blink of an eye, their bodies were densely covered with bee stings.
The dose was seriously overflowed, and the antidote quickly lost its effectiveness as an antidote to prevent accidental stabbings.
The two of them lost consciousness, and fell down from the giant bee with their bodies swollen. Then the giant bee fell, and their bodies were swollen like water.
After all the bees returning to the hive were destroyed, the bees in the hive calmed down and returned to the hive.
In just an instant, the Shangshui family suffered heavy losses.
Soon, the information was delivered to Taichung, the queen bee in the central hive.
The swarm went riot!?
Why?
Wan Gui looked at this information and never expected that the counterattack would unfold in this way. He suffered a big loss in an instant, and the knuckles holding the paper gradually turned white.
Panic gripped Wan Gui's heart tightly.
This guy knows a lot about bee colonies!
Don't panic! Calm down!
The brain started making choices quickly, thinking about the contents of the clan's secret records.
"Notice it! The returning Ninja Bee troops will stop their activities nearby! Conduct self-examination and cleanup!" Wan Gui said: "Maybe it is a deadly unknown source of disease carried in the wild. Clean up the hive and thoroughly investigate it! Destroy the infected individuals!"
"ha!"
Wan Gui carried out emergency management measures nervously.
After finishing this matter, Wan Gui turned his attention to the medicine he brought back.
The quantity was a bit large, and Wan Gui was not sure what medicine the village needed.
It was up to the village to worry about this kind of thing. She only needed to pack it and send it back according to the mission requirements. The rest was none of her business and she had no time to worry about it.
Soon, a giant bee took off and quickly returned to Iwagakure Village carrying the medicine.
Under the sun, Meiji squinted her eyes and looked at the medicines carried by the giant bee.
