Almost as soon as the military parade ended and the Fire Nation National Defense Force rushed to the Rain Nation battlefield that night, spies from various villages hidden in the capital sent intelligence one after another, describing the horrific scenes they saw in extremely violent terms.
There are more than 100,000 ninja troops, and the whole people supports the war.
These two pieces of information alone are enough to make anyone who knows a little bit about the Ninja Village organization dumbfounded, subconsciously thinking that they have heard something in their sleep.
You know, the average great ninja village, even a ninja village like Iwagakure Kumogakure whose strength is second only to Konoha, has a maximum number of standing combat ninjas of about 20,000, let alone smaller ones like Kirigakure and Sunagakure.
It's weaker.
Maybe, even 10,000 people can barely reach it.
Not to mention, the entire country shared the same hatred. Ordinary people cheered crazily for the Ninja Army, or took the initiative to spend money to buy chakra reagents, or took the initiative to sponsor military construction. The whole country was filled with an extremely fanatical atmosphere.
This is simply a fantasy.
Following the incident in the Country of Rain, after the two countries of Futu and Futu dispatched ninja troops to assist Ugakure in attacking the Akatsuki organization, the Fire Country followed suit.
It must be said that this behemoth, which had just woken up from a deep sleep, only turned over slightly and frightened the courage of some spies from other villages.
"What a waste! What's there to be afraid of!"
In the central area of the Kingdom of Rain, where the joint forces of the three great ninja villages of Sandstone Rain were stationed, Onoki threw away the information in his hand with an annoyed look on his face and slammed the table, startling Rasa and Kanzo next to him.
"Lord Tsuchikage, what's wrong? Could it be Konoha..."
Luo Sha carefully considered her words, and was about to ask Ohnoki why he lost his temper, but before he could finish speaking, the old Tsuchikage pointed at the stack of intelligence materials on the ground and snorted coldly:
"The Kingdom of Fire has sent out troops. It is estimated that there will be one hundred thousand ninjas. At this level, can't our three villages be able to cope with it?"
"You know, soldiers are more valuable than finesse. No matter how many ninjas there are in the Fire Country, what does it matter? Without mission experience, training alone cannot make you strong!"
"A group of civilians who became ninjas by injecting drugs have never killed anyone before. No matter how many of these people come around, they are just delivering food!"
Luo Sha obviously knew something about the number of ninjas in the Land of Fire. He was not surprised when he heard this. He just bent down slightly, picked up the intelligence information on the ground and looked through it. Unexpectedly, the more he looked down, the more ugly his face became.
Kanzo looked at the expressions of Ohnoki and Rasa, and saw that neither of them looked very good. He thought that Amegakure's intelligence ability was not as good as Iwagakure's Sunagakure, and the leader of the Ninja Village present knew nothing about the situation in the Land of Fire.
Knowing that, I was immediately ready to borrow the information and take a look.
But just at this moment, Luo Sha spoke:
"More than a thousand artillery pieces..."
Halfway through the words, Luo Sha let out a long breath, rubbed the corners of her tired eyes, and noticed that Kanzo was looking at her eagerly, so she handed the information to him and turned to look at Ohnoki:
"Lord Tsuchikage, you have seen the power of the Fire Country's artillery. Let's not talk about its range, but its destructive power. I am afraid it is not inferior to some large-scale destructive A-level ninjutsu."
"The most important thing is that even genin can use this new weapon as long as it outputs chakra. If the Fire Country distributes all these thousand artillery pieces..."
Shaking his head, he seemed to feel that the scene was too unbearable to look at. Luo Sha didn't say anything else, but Onoki undoubtedly understood. Then he frowned and thought for a moment, and didn't say anything for a long time.
Nonou artillery...
Of course, for the sake of simplicity, both Rasa and Onoki called it artillery. This long-range attack ninja tool was first put into use on the battlefield by the Akatsuki organization. As soon as it appeared, it caused a lot of casualties to Amegakure Village.
As for the Iwagakure Sunagakure troops who arrived later, because the quality of the ninjas was much better than that of Amegakure, and they had an absolute advantage in numbers, not many people were killed by the artillery. They easily captured five guns after defeating Akatsuki.
.
Spies stationed in the Land of Fire have sent back a lot of relevant information about weapons like artillery, but the core technology has always been in the hands of the Uzumaki clan, so neither Iwagakure nor Sunagakure can imitate it.
Originally, if you can't imitate it, you can't imitate it. The confident Iwagakure Sandgakure ninjas don't care about the gap in ninja tools. What the ninjas care about more is obviously their personal strength. If the strength is not good, even if they have the most powerful ninja tools, it will be in vain.
Just delivering food.
But unlike the low-level ninjas, the two Kages, Rasa and Onoki, saw the war potential of artillery, and also saw the terrifying power that this thing would exert once it accumulated to a certain scale.
Long distance, beyond visual range, high speed, high power, and easy to use...the existence of these factors makes the artillery completely transcend the concept of traditional ninja tools. It is not a big weapon specially built for war.
Pass.
Yes, Akatsuki still lost the battle even though he had artillery. He ran away in a panic without even using the weapon. But how many artillery did Akatsuki have? Only ten.
What about the Fire Nation? More than a thousand gates!
"Master Tsuchikage, Master Kazekage, since there are artillery here, shouldn't we try to avoid concentrated formations? Especially in large-scale battles where two armies confront each other, the power of artillery can undoubtedly be fully exerted, and this is very important to us.
It’s very disadvantageous.”
Kanzo put down the information at hand, and without thinking too much, he expressed his thoughts to Rasa and Ohnoki, which also attracted the attention of the two Kage. Ohnoki was the first to reply with a sneer:
"Avoid a concentrated formation? With Lei Luo's character, do you believe that as soon as he arrives in the Kingdom of Rain, he will immediately rush to the camp where we are waiting? Tell me..."
"In that case, how can we avoid the concentration of formations? Should we let them drive straight in? You also know the power of artillery. If there are more than a thousand artillery pieces, you only need to continue to output firepower for a few minutes. What kind of defensive ninjutsu and fortifications
They will all be destroyed!"
"High-end weapons that cannot be imitated are really giving me a headache!"
Lei Luo's character is...ok.
Regarding this point, the three ninja village leaders present are quite familiar with it. They know that he is an impatient person. He never tries to test when fighting. He comes up with various large-scale battles and decisive battles. He wants to kill all the enemies as quickly as possible. He has a sense of time.
Strong thief.
Luo Sha, in particular, understands this very well.
Two confrontations with Lei Luo, two large-scale battles...
As a result, Sand Hidden Village has not recovered its strength even now.
The faint tingling sensation in his heart made Luo Sha open his mouth slightly and wanted to say a few words of his own opinion. But at this moment, a fourth voice suddenly sounded in the camp, interrupting him:
"If you get the core technology of the artillery, including but not limited to the design drawings, sealing techniques, and detonating talisman shell structure, I wonder if you still have the confidence to imitate it?"
