But if combined with the posture shown by Konoha before, the sense of disobedience here seems to be somewhat strong. Shoji has every reason to suspect that Konoha must have changed its previous plan, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the past few days.
Here, it's almost like a raging wave, attacking one after another.
Although Jiraiya did not show up, the offensive intensity displayed by Konoha really made the Iwagakure side somewhat overwhelmed. Where there is a general, they can easily take advantage. In other areas, most of them
Konoha's side has the advantage, and the casualties between the two sides are almost one to one. This can be seen from the fact that in the past few days, the frequency and intensity of Konoha's attacks have been so intense!
Another day of fighting has come to an end.
The general who returned to the stronghold also went straight to the central command area of the stronghold. When the general entered the room, Huang Tu turned his back to the general and slightly raised his head to look at the military map hanging on the wall, marked on it.
Many yellow and green dots represent the Iwa Ninja troops and Konoha Ninja troops distributed in this area.
There are also some intersecting indicators and symbols that represent each other's marching routes and the areas where the battles took place. Compared with the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold just arrived a few days ago, the attacks launched by Konoha Strengthening on both sides were already eaten up.
Quite a few of the small Iwa ninja troops spread out!
Both of them want to seize the strategic space where the two wings are spread out.
Obviously at this point, Konoha has the advantage, and Loess cannot move lightly. Without understanding Konoha's true intentions and Jiraiya's whereabouts, it is best for Han to choose the standby mode that can provide support at any time.
There is only one general, and he has no skills at all. He can be a little strong, but it is difficult to radiate to the entire area. After all, this is not a large-scale decisive battle between two villages!
The general can lead one side of the army to gain an advantage, and even kill as many Konoha ninjas as possible, but in other areas, the strength of Konoha Hidden Village is revealed. The ninja village has the most bloodline limited wealthy families, and Konoha Hidden Village has the most powerful families.
The average quality of the Leaf Ninja is really better than that of the other four major Ninja Villages. To put it bluntly, under the same conditions, the same number of ninjas compete, it is definitely false to say 100%, but Konoha Hidden Village is indeed
Belongs to the side with a high probability of winning.
This is the foundation accumulated by the number one ninja village in the ninja world over the years.
Even though they were ruined several times by Konoha F4, they still have a relatively strong family background. This is the most enviable and feared point of the other four major ninja villages. And Konoha's bloody attacks have made the general
While confused, a deep feeling of fear also emerged deep in my heart.
Is Konoha really going to die here with their Iwagakure Village!?
With such a life-changing strategy, even if Iwagakure Village can win in the end, how many of the five thousand Iwagakure sent to the frontline positions will be left? Maybe we will have to continue to mobilize troops from behind and station them at the frontline positions.
Most of the nearly 7,000 Konoha ninjas inside were killed or injured, it was just a trivial matter, but if such a result really happened.
Doesn’t that mean Chun Chun makes Yunyin Village profit?
Shoji said that he couldn't understand, how could Nara Shikaku, the figure who is known as the IQ ceiling in the Naruto world, be so stupid? Or maybe he just wanted to intimidate them Iwa Ninpo through such a direct and brutal tactic, okay?
Let them quit when they are faced with difficulties?
There are so many doubts!
The sense of violation is too strong!
At this moment, Jiang Si really felt like he had a lot of things going on but he couldn't grasp it at all.
"Yellow soil mulberry!"
Therefore, he must come back and have a good discussion with his commander-in-chief to determine the next strategy of their Yanyin Village. It is also best to contact the third generation Tsuchikage in the village. After all, in this situation, the commander-in-chief will
It's already a bit unclear and incomprehensible.
"Oh? General, are you back? I happen to be looking for you too!"
The figure of stepping forward.
Huang Tu turned around when he heard the footsteps of General Si, and his face was also hung with a trace of sadness. In the past few days, his Ninja Village has suffered from nearly 500 people.
casualties, and most of the injured were not lightly injured. Therefore, this can already be properly declared that their Iwa Ninja frontline troops lost one-tenth of their strength. In the previous advancement, there was no such big loss.
Casualties, just a few days after arriving at the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold, our own casualties are so huge.
Even though the ninja legion is essentially different from the ordinary army, one thing is still in common, that is, once the team suffers too many casualties, the combat morale will inevitably decrease. By that time, no matter how strong they are, it will be difficult to save the situation.
, you can’t really fight thousands or more enemies alone!
Even Han, who is the five-tailed Jinchuuriki, is likely to be severely damaged and directly sealed and dealt with once he is attacked by Konoha's pre-prepared troops of thousands, not to mention loess, general, no matter how strong he is, his chakra and physical strength
After all, it is limited!
Therefore, the current situation is indeed not difficult for the Iwa Ninjas, but it is still a little subtle. Huang Tu himself is a little unsure. Even if the general does not come back to find him today, Huang Tu himself will plan to send someone.
Go and notify the general to come back. He also needs to find someone to make plans together.
"Yes, Loess-san, I think Konoha's recent actions have been strangely tough. I'm worried that Konoha will make up its mind to completely eat our troops here!"
General Si stepped closer to Loess and spoke straight to the point.
There are many possibilities, but from the simplest thinking, the most direct possibility is to plan to surround and eat their more than 5,000 Iwagakure legions, even if their Iwagakure Village can indeed continue.
Mobilize troops, but the loss of these five thousand people will definitely severely damage the vitality of Iwagakure Village!
Even though the possibility is not very high, it is impossible to deny that the probability is completely 0.
Shoji felt that they had to take all possibilities into consideration. If Konoha was really that big-hearted, they would make some preparations in advance, whether it was a head-on confrontation or a retreat, so as to deal with what was coming next.
Expand.
"I'm so worried too, Shoji, what do you think the probability is that Konoha will definitely keep us?"
There were a few wisps of blood in Huangtu's pupils, which proved that in the past two days, Huangtu had not had a good rest at all. As the frontline commander of the Iwa Ninja army, it was easy to fall into a trap when he was unable to understand the enemy's intentions.
Feelings of worry and anxiety.
"Although it is not very high, I think there is still a 30% probability. If Konoha really wants to mobilize further, it can ensure the basic defense of the third-line border, especially if it really reaches some kind of agreement with Yunyin Village, it can mobilize another five
Six thousand troops have come to the front line for reinforcements. If their intention is really to eat us, the front lines extending from both wings are obviously to compress our information reconnaissance range and cut off our retreat as much as possible.
route, after the next batch of reinforcements arrive, they will be directly surrounded on three sides. What's more, they will further send elite troops to bypass Wuyuan Mountain and sneak into the Kingdom of Grass. By that time, it is very likely that the three battles will be defeated.
The scenery of the north is restored!"
Don't mention that there is a Kage-level ceiling-level combat power like Jiraiya in the Konoha camp opposite at the moment. Even if there is not, once Konoha's military strength will further expand to as many as ten thousand, and it will really go smoothly according to the general's own rehearsal.
If we look at it from both sides, no matter how strong Shoji himself, Huang Tu, Han and others are, they will never be able to avoid the defeat of their own Ninja Village.
After this period of confrontation, Shoji has truly realized the fact that even though Konoha Hidden Village has declined, its heritage is still there. In the ninja world, among the five major ninja villages, only Konoha and Kirigakure villages have it.
With a very large blood family, this is an advantage that other Sannin villages cannot have.
People can directly wholesale the birth of ninjas with various blood inheritance limits and secret techniques. These people have extremely high combat advantages in ninja battles at all levels. Some people are good at individual combat operations (Uchiha,
Moonlight), but more suitable for group combat operations (Hyuga, Yamazaka, Akimichi, Nara, Kurama, Aburazuka, etc.)
As long as it is not a large-scale confrontation of thousands of people, but a battle controlled within a hundred people, these ninjas can provide a great advantage. The collision during this period of time depends on the casualties of Shoji, Iwagakure and Konoha.
The ratio is now controlled within the one-to-one range. If ninjas from the two villages who are below jounin level are really allowed to fight, in terms of battle loss ratio, the Iwa ninja will definitely be worse!
Because the Iwa Ninja cannot produce so many blood successor ninjas, the advantage in earth escape only refers to the super heavy rock and light heavy rock techniques. However, although these two techniques can be mastered by the Iwa Ninja
Controlling the weight of objects at will gives you the combat advantage of flying, but not all Iwa ninjas can master it. This is a technique that can only be mastered by the elite people in Iwagakure Village who have a high talent for Earth Release.
Otherwise, just by virtue of being able to fly, the Iwa ninja would be the only one in the world. But in fact, since the establishment of Iwagakure Village, in the past few decades, counting the people who have died, the number of Iwa ninjas who can master the light and heavy rock techniques has increased.
There will definitely not be more than a thousand people. In today's Yanyin Village, there are only two to three hundred people who can master this technique.
This is a technique that does not require any special physique or bloodline, but it is extremely difficult to learn and master. Among the two or three hundred people, it is not necessarily said that every one can really fly.
This technique requires exquisite chakra control ability!
In a sense, it is no less demanding than a medical ninja!
Therefore, in frontal combat, it is difficult for the Iwa ninja to gain an advantage without having a numerical advantage. This was also the greatest confidence that Konoha was able to suppress the other four ninja villages in the past.
Even though Shoji still didn't think that the Third Hokage would have such courage and decisiveness, there were some things that he had to guard against.
"Thirty percent? This probability is really not very low. Yunyin Village has still not taken any further practical actions so far. It is difficult not to make people wonder whether the two parties have reached an agreement to further target our Yanyin Village!"
Loess sighed softly, one-on-one, of course Iwagakure Village needs to be afraid of Konoha, but if the losses are too great, not to mention the Kumogakure Village that was originally watching, and the Shagakure Village in the south that was crippled.
There is still a lot of threat!
If they really fight to the death, Sand Hidden Village can still explode tens of thousands of troops. Once such a threat breaks out in the southern fortress when one's side is defeated on the front battlefield, it will definitely be a threat to their Iwagakure Village.
A nightmare.
"Is there still no action taken by Yunyin Village?"
General frowned slightly and said with a slightly ugly expression.
Although it is clear that the course of the war will never be changed by personal will, Yunyin Village's actions are really too harsh. Indeed, the general did not have much hope for Yunyin Village at the beginning, but
In his opinion, your Kumogakure Village should at least suppress a wave of Konoha garrison troops in Yuno Country and completely occupy Yuno Country, right?
This is the basis, right?
Isn’t the Fourth Raikage’s temper very bad?
But why do all the actions of Yunyin Village seem so light and indifferent now? This kind of development is completely contrary to his prediction, which makes Shoji feel like he has been severely slapped in the face.
He realized that he had gone too smoothly in the previous series of events, which led to him becoming a little arrogant subconsciously. His seemingly calm and rational judgments still contained more of his own subjective judgments.
To put it bluntly, Shoji is too wishful thinking.
However, life will inevitably have some setbacks and blows. Although it is said to be in the most important war between the two countries, at least the situation is not bad. From the scene, their Iwagakure Village still has the upper hand, which is the worst situation expected.
After all, it only existed in expectations and did not happen. There is still room for redemption.
Therefore, Jiang Si also adjusted his mentality very well.
"Then it seems that we must prepare for the worst, Huangtu Sang, if things go against our expectations, we'd better abandon the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold immediately and return to the Kingdom of Grass, where we can rebuild the defense line, and I believe that as long as
If we take the initiative to make concessions, Konoha will most likely not push forward. Even if we really need to pursue further, we can deal with it more easily in the Grass Country, the supply line can be shortened, and we are less likely to be surrounded by Konoha!"
Jiang Si took a deep breath, his brain started spinning, and after weighing the pros and cons of various situations deep in his heart, he said in a deep voice.
Although this approach cannot bring more benefits to the Ninja Village, they themselves have not suffered much losses. Since the dispatch of troops this time, the largest casualties have been in the past few days, and they have already swallowed the entire
The Country of Grass has accomplished its initial set goal, and with the face and dignity already saved, retreating is not something that cannot be accepted. The worst thing is that it will continue to quarrel with Konoha. Maybe it will be based on the instructions of the Third Hokage.
Character, their Yanyin Village can still get another batch of supplies or other compensation!
No matter how you look at it, they all belong to the type that makes steady profits without losing money.
After all, just as Konoha today is very afraid of the flanking attacks of Iwagakure and Kumogakure, Iwagakure can't stand the siege of the two powers, and once it really falls into a war with the two powers, you can guess the sand in the south with your toes.
Hidden Village will definitely send out troops at the same time. At that time, it will not be a question of whether to make a profit, but how much it will lose!
"Well, that's how I think about it. The greater possibility of such a strong attack coming from the opposite side is from the Wuyuan Mountain stronghold. There is a high probability that the top management of the Fire Nation has exerted a certain degree of pressure. General, during this period
Let's shrink the front line a little and try to avoid unnecessary battles! To maintain our combat power to a limited extent, I will contact the village immediately to further confirm the dynamics on the side of Yunyin Village!"
Huang Tu nodded heavily and said.
"Yes, I understand. Oh, by the way, Huangtu Sang, how does the strength we deploy in the eastern border compare with the strength of Yunyin Village?"
"Oh? You don't have to worry about this, General. From the beginning, Master Tsuchikage had already sent Lao Zisan to the eastern border. In the previous period, he also sent Date, who had just returned from Snow Country, to
Sang Lai is in charge, and Lord Tsuchikage also seems to have temporarily summoned Lord Shisui back from Lord Daimyo, and sent them to the eastern front together. Unless Kumogakure Village invades on a large scale, based on the comparison of the enemy's and our border forces, we are still at an advantage.
of!"
Although the two countries are in a temporary alliance, there is a saying that the hatred between the two countries is only high. Even if they come together because of temporary interests, Ohnoki has never relaxed his vigilance towards Yunyin Village, otherwise
As mentioned before, if the whole army of Iwagakure were to invade, Konoha would be under far more pressure than it is currently. It is precisely because Iwagakure still needs to allocate a certain amount of troops to guard Sunagakure and Kumogakure, which leads to
Only less than one-third of the force that can be dispatched to the southeastern front line is available.
It's better to say that in the south, the duo of Bunga and Starry Night, as well as the only 2,000 garrison troops led by them, can do it as long as the Fourth Kazekage from Sunagakure Village or the first jinchūriki are not dispatched.
Withstand it.
But it's different in the east.
Don't mention the Fourth Raikage.
Just the two Tailed Beast Jinchūriki in his village are enough to make Iwagakure Village drink a pot. In addition to the necessary military security, Ohnoki also dispatched Lao Zi, the four-tailed Jinchūriki, as soon as possible.
He stationed himself at the largest garrison on the eastern border to guard the Kumo ninja side. Later, in order to provide an extra layer of insurance, Shisui, an Uchiha tribesman with the Mangekyo Sharingan, was sent there. Shisui only
There was a slight resistance to the battle with the Konoha ninjas, but the other ninja villages didn't feel any psychological pressure at all.
Naturally, he accepted the order happily and left.
This was an important act to contribute to the village and further expand the family's presence and trust in the village. Of course Shisui would not refuse.
"Oh? Really, then it's really not a big problem. Then, I'll be rude first, Huangtu Sang!"
After hearing that his Tsuchikage-sama had the foresight to arrange for Lao Murasaki and Shisui to go to the eastern front, and that there was an experienced person like Date sitting behind them, Shoji also breathed a sigh of relief. Such a lineup configuration
, coupled with the 3,000 garrison forces deployed on the eastern border all year round, unless the Fourth Raikage personally leads the two Tailed Beast Jinchūriki in Kumogakure Village, otherwise, it will be impossible to easily break through in a short time.
The garrison troops on the eastern border can gain some buffer time in the worst situation.
The general also relaxed completely and bowed slightly to the loess in front of him.
"Um!"
Then he strode away.
In the frontline position, he cannot be absent for too long. Under his own support, the pressure on both wings is still very high. If he leaves for too long, it is very likely that all three lines will be broken through. Once all the peripheral positions are
If the enemy falls and they are compressed into a small location in Wuyuan Mountain, the situation will only get worse.
Such a situation.
It was something that the Iwagakure Village side tried their best to avoid.
Even if you want to retreat, you and others must retreat proactively in an orderly manner, rather than retreat in a rout while being suppressed. There is an essential difference between the two.
Therefore, the general must return to the frontline position immediately.
