Another month has passed, and the locations of the Sunagakure army's camp in Kawanoguni and several important strongholds have been clearly explored by the Hyuga ninjas sent by Lei Luo.
Although, judging from the situation, it seems that as long as Commander Lei Luo gives an order and takes the initiative to fight several large-scale battles with the Sunagakure army, the Sand ninjas will inevitably be forced by the Konoha ninja army to retreat into the Kingdom of Wind.
However, Lei Luo did not act rashly, but frequently sent small groups of troops to attack in various directions, constructing attack routes among the rolling mountains of Kawa Country, as if he was preparing for a protracted war.
This is also true, Lei Luo played very steadily, he had no intention of being anxious, and he had no intention of having a decisive battle with Sunagakure.
He just separated multiple fronts, covering the entire territory of Sichuan Country, and then slowly advanced forward step by step.
The nature is somewhat similar to a big sweep.
As for Sunagakure, the Third Kazekage was keenly aware of Lei Luo's strategic intentions...
Although he didn't know why Lei Luo was so procrastinating in fighting despite having such an obvious advantage in combat power, as if he had some scruples.
However, Lei Luo's strategy, which is no different from traditional ninja warfare, can be regarded as playing into the hands of the Third Kazekage to a certain extent.
After all, Sunagakure was actually not fully prepared for the next large-scale battle.
Therefore, the Third Kazekage followed suit and dispersed Sunagakure's large army, and started a tug-of-war with Lei Luo and the Konoha ninjas.
Countless small battlefields were immediately opened up.
Fierce collisions occurred on all fronts, and as a result, the entire country of Kawa no Kuni was plunged into the turbulent flames of war between Sunagakure and Konoha.
Another three months passed, and when the front line gradually advanced to the halfway point...
Lei Luo felt that his direct subordinates were familiar with the current working environment, and they had almost done what they should have experienced.
Simply, he sped up his rhythm slightly:
He decisively dispatched his four generals: Orochimaru, Aburame Shiguro, Namikaze Minato, and Matt Dai, and officially began to carry out various difficult tasks.
In addition to Sunagakure's main camp, Orochimaru and his four men continued to lead troops to clean up various strongholds established by Sunagakure in Kawa no Kuni. With the help of Hyuga ninjas, the efficiency was extremely amazing.
Occasionally, they would lead their troops to penetrate various defense lines of Sunagakure, changing the battlefield situation everywhere:
High-mobility teams like Namikaze Minato and Metadai basically harassed and attacked Sunagakure, causing damage to Sunagakure's key transportation links and important supply lines.
The large-scale troops like Aburame Shiguro and Orochimaru repeatedly circled back to intercept, and completed a tacit encirclement with the Konoha ninjas on the front battlefield, eating up the small groups of Sand ninjas one after another.
In the past few months, good news has come frequently.
Obviously, even if they don't fight the ninja army, but engage in some small-scale encounters, raids, and fortifications, Sunagakure will not be able to defeat Konoha at the moment.
The reason is mainly due to the gap in high-end combat power.
Although, during this period, Orochimaru and the four of them frequently fought against Chiyo, Spider, Rasa, and Hayakura from Sunagakure Village, with both sides winning or losing.
But generally speaking, Konoha's high-end combat power has always occupied a certain degree of quantitative and quality advantages. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is overwhelming Sunagakure's high-end combat power.
In this case, even if Sunagakure's puppet master troops fight back desperately, the number of puppet masters is too small after all, and they cannot make much difference to the overall battle situation.
In particular, after experiencing the baptism of fierce battles, some geniuses in Konoha are still growing rapidly, and their combat power is increasing faster and faster, almost overwhelming Chiyo and others.
For example, Orochimaru and Namikaze Minato...
Orochimaru is now in his prime, and he has already mastered a variety of ninjutsu. In addition, he has been following Lei Luo in recent years. He has gained a lot of benefits and accumulated a lot of combat experience. His strength is gradually improving.
It has reached film-level standards.
As for Namikaze Minato, who possesses the power of the Tailed Beast, he has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique more and more with the continuous battles. Coupled with the entire set of secret techniques he has acquired, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has gradually mastered it.
On the verge of film quality.
It is worth mentioning that one day a month ago, Namikaze Minato finally made the decision to become a disciple of Lei Luo and actually put it into action.
Lei Luo knew nothing about it and agreed on the spot.
Therefore, the two parties formally established a master-disciple relationship.
Since Lei Luo has been teaching, helping, and supporting Namikaze Minato in recent years, this matter can be said to have come naturally without any twists and turns.
Up to now, whether it is interests, positions, goals, ideals, feelings, beliefs, Namikaze Minato is completely tied to Lei Luo, and there will never be any room to change his mind from now on.
After all, in the ninja world, formal apprenticeship has always been an extremely serious matter...
In particular, unlike Yahiko and the others, Namikaze Minato's apprenticeship with Rairo was completed under the witness of countless ninjas in the ninja army, and it is estimated that it will spread throughout the ninja world in a few days.
Perhaps in the eyes of the world, he, Namikaze Minato, is Lei Luo's number one disciple, or perhaps, the only disciple.
Just because Lei Luo obviously had no intention of revealing anything about Yahiko and the others.
After accepting Namikaze Minato as his apprentice, Lei Luo didn't have any obvious changes. He always treated Namikaze Minato as he should.
At most, he just occasionally took some free time to give guidance on Namikaze Minato's training, and took on a little bit of the responsibility as a master.
For example, teach Namikaze Minato the Rasengan and so on.
Although, Namikaze Minato looks...
It seemed that he was quite dissatisfied with the ninjutsu of Rasengan. After understanding the principle of Rasengan, he became even more absent-minded in learning.
Through several exchanges with Namikaze Minato, Lei Luo quickly learned:
The reason why Namikaze Minato doesn't bother to learn the Rasengan is because his communication with the Three-Tails has become smoother now, and now he has received a clear commitment from the Three-Tails. Either next year or the year after, he can transform into a half-tailed beast with the help of the Three-Tails.
status.
At that time, with the genuine tailed beast jade, what else does he need to learn about the "fake tailed beast jade"?
Speaking of which, Namikaze Minato is almost fifteen years old this year. The physique of a jinchuriki at this age can already bear the true power of a tailed beast.
Maybe it was for this reason that Sanwei agreed to him.
In addition, there is another point that has become the reason why Namikaze Minato is too lazy to master the Rasengan:
That is, as he continues to experience various high-end battles, Namikaze Minato's fighting style has been quietly finalized.
