Escape From Konoha

The quiet dawn whitened the dividing line between the earth and the sky.

At six o'clock in the morning, the air force of the land of ghosts again attacked Windmill Town from the air.

Various buildings in the town have been bombed in turns in the past few days, and have long since become uninhabitable ruins.

But Sand Ninja was still very tenacious and stationed on the ruins of the town.

"Are you here again?"

Maki looked up at the sky with a headache.

The air force of the land of ghosts will start to attack here every time at night and in the morning.

And each time the scale is a standard fifty-man army.

After a few days of intense consumption, the bows, arrows and detonating charms in the Sand Ninja army are about to bottom out.

If the Kingdom of Ghosts launches another air strike tonight, then tomorrow morning, they will not have enough bows and arrows and detonating charms to deal with the air forces of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

At that time, the sand ninja troop, which has lost its anti-air capability, will definitely become a living target for the air force of the country of ghosts.

Compared with the so-called air raids, the Air Force of the Land of Ghosts is more like taking a thousand sand ninjas as wooden stakes for their actual combat practice.

Their air strike capabilities are increasing day by day, and they have become more skilled in operation.

In yesterday's air raid, the country of Oni lost only six aircraft, but Sand Ninja sacrificed the precious lives of dozens of ninjas.

So far, less than half of the sand ninjas have survived, and half of the sand ninjas are wounded. There are very few sand ninjas who can retain full combat power.

The humming of the humming aircraft resounded in the air, and they began a new round of high-altitude bombing.

"Don't relax, as long as we survive the morning attack, reinforcements will arrive in the afternoon! That's the best time for us to fight back!"

Maki shouted to the surrounding Sand Shinobi, which boosted Sand Shinobi's morale very well.

After several days of bombing, they already had a big psychological shadow on the country of Ghosts.

Now hearing Markey say reinforcements will arrive in the afternoon, there is renewed hope in their hearts.

As long as you survive this morning's bombing, the days of humiliation and confinement will be over.

At that time, the Sand Ninjas will go all the way, attacking the capital of the ghost country directly, and they will be proud of themselves.

Seeing the morale of the crowd, Maki had been mobilized by himself, so he nodded, picked up the radio communication device, and began to command the battle.

Soon, Markey discovered something was wrong.

The communicator suddenly made a hoarse, high-pitched sound. This sound, like the sound of stones passing through glass, was exactly the same as that sound.

"Team 3, what's the situation on your side? Can you hear it? Please answer!"

Markey asked quickly.

The hoarse shrill sound became louder, but there was no report, and it was covered by the fierce artillery fire.

Maki stared blankly at the southeast direction, where the three groups of teams were located, covered by the endless spread of fire, the sand flying, and fell into a dead silence.

The radio... is down?

Markey had to accept the fact that he was desperate.

Why do radios fail?

He hurriedly picked up the spare radio device, and there was still only a hoarse noise. The voices of himself and the rest of the team were completely blocked by something, unable to convey information, let alone command the battle.

"W-what's the matter?"

Markey couldn't figure out why the radio would fail at such a critical time, along with the backup radio.

This is definitely not a coincidence.

But it's no coincidence that he didn't know what the ninjas in Oni Land did to cause their radios to fail at the same moment.

Without his unified command, what would happen to Sand Ninja on the ruins of Windmill Town, Maki shuddered just thinking about it.

His eyes glowed red, and he looked at the air force of the Oni Land that was still projecting and detonating Kunai in the air. There was a strong anger in his heart but he couldn't let it out.

Because the detonating arrows on the ground were shooting at the sky in a completely random manner, for the air force of the land of ghosts, Sand Ninja's air-to-air capability was greatly weakened, and it was unable to form an effective air-to-air combat capability.

"Maki-sama, be careful!"

A Kunai wrapped in an explosive talisman suddenly landed, very close to Maki's body.

Maki, who was in a state of extreme fright and anger, lost his mind for a moment and could not accept such a victory.

A sand ninja hurriedly threw Maki down to prevent him from having an accident.

boom!

The two were blown away by the impact of the detonating talisman, disgraced and embarrassed.

Maki coughed, blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, gnashing his teeth and staring at the Ghost Country troops in the sky, his heart was full of unwillingness and bitterness.

Reason told him that the sand ninja troops could not be linked together, and they would only be destroyed by each in the next air attack.

The big picture is set.

He has imagined many times that the sand ninja army here will be defeated because of insufficient food and water, or because the bows and arrows and detonating charms are prepared to be consumed too quickly, resulting in loss of combat capability.

But he never imagined that the root of his failure would be that the radio device could not communicate normally.

The sand ninja troops were perfectly cut on the battlefield by the ninjas of the country of ghosts. They fought each other in front of the unified and unified air force of the country of ghosts, and there was no second result except that they were defeated by each.

In war, if a team loses its cohesion and unity, it will lose very quickly.

Whether it is to integrate the queue or to disperse the enemy, it is necessary to make reasonable arrangements at the first time, and one more delay may cause the situation to mutate. The Kingdom of Oni has fundamentally cut off Sand Shinobi's tactical configuration, and this is where Maki is most desperate.

Even if the sand ninja is dispersed now, so that the firepower of the country of ghosts will be dispersed to a certain extent, it seems a little too late to arrange it at this time.

Maki looked at the air force of the land of ghosts, and started bombing with the detonating kunai from the periphery with ease, constantly narrowing the scope of Sand Ninja's activities, just to avoid Sand Ninja being scattered, he planned to concentrate and end the battle in one go.

If the communication equipment can be cut off, how could the country of ghosts fail to think of this step?

They have already made a foolproof plan and will not give Sand Ren any chance to fight back.

...

In the town of Windmill, trapped in artillery fire and dust, no place is intact.

In order to end the battle this morning, this time, high-intensity firepower was used to suppress the attack, and the attack would not be stopped until Sand Ninja completely lost his ability to resist, rather than the time-limited training activities like the previous few times.

Ayane stared at the smoking windmill town from a distance, and the town's original appearance had long since changed beyond recognition.

On the blackened ruins, countless corpses of Sand Ninja fell, and some of them hadn't died yet.

"Go on, let's do the final closing of the net. You don't need to attack those who are not dead. Take them all back to Ziyuan City and put them back in the prison for custody. Dead people are worthless."

"Yes."

After listening to it, the captain of the Shangin Squadron disappeared from Ayane's side and took people to Windmill Town to collect the net.

◎

When we returned to Ziyuan City, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Ayane's troops, in less than a week, killed a total of 731 enemies, captured 269 people, and lost some supplies. They lost 47 aircraft and 31 lightly injured. People, three seriously injured, the sacrifice rate is zero.

Although it took a long time, on the basis of zero sacrifice, it was a proud achievement to kill 731 enemies.

This can also prove that the containment and air strike capabilities of the air force are outstanding.

The high mobility can also make people unable to help but have infinitely beautiful reverie about the future of this unit.

After reading Ayane's report, Shiraishi nodded slightly, and basically did not deviate from his expectations. The time-consuming and results were very close to his speculation.

The only regret is that the official personnel of the air force is only 300 people.

Not only because of the cost of the latest combat aircraft, but also technical constraints.

After all, unlike the low-tech light weapons like the Kunai Gun, the cost of military combat aircraft is very expensive.

The follow-up training of pilots is also a considerable amount of time and cost.

Such troops, before developing more powerful bomb-dropping weapons, can be used as a surprise attack, which can bring many unexpected results.

Once the enemy is familiar with the mechanism, the threat capability will be greatly reduced.

"Overall, it was a beautiful victory, thanks for your hard work. By the way, there's nothing wrong with those captives, right?"

Shiraishi mentioned this.

"Don't worry, on the way back, there will be medical ninjas to follow, and the serious injuries of the prisoners have stabilized. Now I have sent people to put them in the prison. After the war is over, let Sha Yin come over and get money to redeem them."

Ayane had already figured out **** Sayin happily then.

Especially Sandyin's Joinin Maki, this time he was once again captured alive by their country of ghosts.

The celebrity around the four generations of Fengying will probably sell a lot of money by then.

"Don't worry about this kind of thing. With these prisoners in our hands, the advantage will be on our side. Even if we negotiate at the negotiating table at that time, we will have the dominant position."

Shiraishi Rational Analysis.

"To turn the battlefield to the negotiating table, we still need to give Sandyin a painful blow... Well, what happened to Liuli? Did you kill the fourth generation of Kazekage?"

Ayane asked.

Shiraishi glanced at Ayane helplessly and sighed.

"Hey, where do you want to go? That's one of the five shadows anyway. If he dies, the problem will become very serious."

"What's so serious? The third-generation Raikage didn't die on the battlefield of Yanyin."

Ayane disagrees.

"It is no different now than during the Third Ninja World War, when countries tend to be in a state of peace in order to cultivate their lives and recuperate. For a village, the shadow is not only the responsibility of strength, but also the core of the leadership. At that time, in order to avenge Fengying, Sandra Yin is going to do everything in his power to attack us, and things will get worse.”

"It's just over 10,000 people. With the cooperation of the three of us, it's not a problem to block it."

Ayane made a simple comparison of their strengths. The three of them, together with their seven clones, could fight head-to-head even against 10,000 ninjas, and even win the final victory.

"What if they divide their troops and attack the Ghost Country directly? The situation you mentioned is the ideal state for them to go their own way and fight us head-to-head. As long as they have a brain, they won't do this, but they will be aggressive. It refers to the territory of the country of ghosts. At that time, countless towns will be destroyed, a large number of refugees will be generated, and the economy will directly shrink to the state of ten years ago... This is very fatal. "

After Shiraishi's explanation, Ayane was a little dumbfounded.

"This is not the most serious. My biggest worry is that when the battle with Sandyin, other major powers will intervene in the battlefield, thus triggering the Fourth Ninja World War. The attitude of Yunyin and Iwagakura is unknown, Konoha's words, I'm sure they'll join forces with Sandyin to get rid of us."

Shiraishi's words made Ayane look a little more serious.

Indeed, leaving aside the rest of the great Ninja villages, Konoha is the village that most wish they had an accident.

Once they find an opportunity, those Konoha executives will definitely not mind coming over to get in trouble.

In this war, it is not only Sandy who needs to pay attention, but Konoha also needs to be vigilant.

"If Konoha wants to intervene in the battlefield, due to the distance and supply problems, it may not be realistic to deploy troops on a large scale against us. But it is not difficult to dispatch a small-scale elite force to join Sandyin and execute the beheading operation on us. "

"It's really stressful to hear you say that, Shiraishi-kun."

Ayane smiled, but there was no sense of relief at all.

"Because we can no longer use the thinking of betrayal and forbearance to deal with the conflict of interests between countries. This is the change of identity. On the premise of not breaking the rules, to get what we want, the previous set of practices should be abandoned as soon as possible. . From the dark to the light, we have to act according to the rules on the bright side."

This is a limitation and an opportunity.

"If the fourth Kazekage knew that he had escaped because of this reason, it is estimated that he would be depressed to death."

"No, I sincerely thank the four generations of Kazekage, because he is alive and earnestly fulfills Kazekage's obligations, in order to control the direction of this war to the extent we need, rather than with more than 10,000 sand ninjas. If we fight to the death, we will also lose a lot."

A full-scale conflict-style war is not advisable.

The worst thing is that, losing Luo Sha, Fengying, and Sha Yin, who has no candidate for the next Fengying, is unpredictable what kind of actions he will make in his fury.

Shiraishi was also worried that the Chiyo brothers and sisters would re-emerge at that time. They were two old antiques that had survived since the beginning of the Ninja Village, but they were much more troublesome than Luo Sha.

If it is said that among Sha Yin, who makes him most afraid of, it is undoubtedly the pair of sisters and brothers.

Fengying Luosha will still be subordinated to the two of them.

"Based on this situation, leaving the four generations of Kazekage is more valuable than him. Therefore, my instruction to Liuli is to kill as much as possible the living forces other than Kazekage himself. To reduce the military strength of a Ninja village is not only to kill The shadow of death is a method. Destroying their Shangnin and Chunin can also achieve the effect we expect."

In conventional battles, the Five Shadows can achieve the so-called one cavalry as a thousand.

But in the face of the alliance of dozens of Jōnin, even the Five Shadows will drink their hatred in battle.

In a Ninja village of the size of Shayin, the number of Shangnin is far more than a few dozen people.

Kazekage is just Sandy's top ninja.

There are also a lot of people at the level of Shangnin below Kazekage.

You can't ignore the role of the rest of the jōnin just because Kazekage is at the top.

These jōnin are scattered on the battlefield, and their role is immeasurable.

"So that's the case, to get the most benefit at the least cost, right?"

Ayane understood very well.

"It's almost like this. Next, adopt the strategy of close attack, send missions to Yunyin and Wuyin, and sell their interests to them to keep them neutral in the world."

It goes without saying that the so-called mission dispatch is just a passing scene, pretending to be seen by others, so as not to be suspicious.

What Shiraishi wanted to see most was Yun Yin's neutral attitude.

As long as Yun Yin is appeased and kept neutral, the Kingdom of Ghosts will be half won.

"Then my next task is..."

Ayane seemed to have guessed something.

Shiraishi nodded and said: "You stay here to prevent Yanyin, Konoha can't win over, it is very likely that you will secretly support Shayin and use a knife to kill people. After reaching a neutrality agreement with Yunyin, I will immediately go to the country of wind. Joining with Liuli will further expand the advantages of the Land of Wind battlefield to ensure that no accidents will happen. The last is to negotiate at the negotiating table."

Although he also wanted to take Ayane to the battlefield of the Land of Winds, the domestic defense force would become very weak.

Iwahidden's Tukage Onogi is an old man who is very good at cheating and slipping, and needs to be strictly guarded.

Moreover, even if they reached a neutrality agreement with Yun Yin, they could not retain too much trust in them. The importance of Ayane staying in the country was highlighted.

It's like playing a test on the field, first make sure you don't lose points, and then consider the issue of scoring. This is Shiraishi's usual thinking.

Fortunately, Ayane is not a very belligerent ninja. If she and Ruri were replaced, let Ruri defend and Ayane was in charge of the main attack, the situation would be very different.

◎

The meeting room was suppressed by a dignified atmosphere.

The 2,000-strong army led by Fengying Luosha suffered heavy casualties after being ambushed.

It can be said to be unfavorable.

Because no one had predicted in advance that there would be such a thing as a surprise attack in the Land of Wind.

And the culprit of the sneak attack was the ninja who had left Konoha more than ten years ago.

Such a ridiculous scene was actually staged in the ninja world.

As the role of the clown on the stage, it is their country of wind.

"Declaration of war against the Land of Wind... This group of betrayal and forbearance is really courageous."

A senior sand ninja held a piece of paper into a ball of paper and gnashed his teeth.

For a small country to officially declare war on a big country, it is a great shame and humiliation for the big country.

The representative of the declaration of war is still a traitor who has broken away from the Ninja Village system. This is more like a slap in the face of Sand Ninja.

"Konoha! The country of ghosts! We must let Hokage and the witches of the country of ghosts give us a reasonable explanation for this matter, otherwise this matter will not end!"

Another high-level Sha Yin also had a livid face and gloomy eyes.

It has not been cleaned up for more than ten years, which is undoubtedly Konoha's dereliction of duty.

In the same way, the witch in the land of ghosts allows Rebellion to act in the country, and also serves as a military representative, which is even more ridiculous than Konoha's indulgent Rebellion attitude.

When will Rebellion and Forbearance be able to speak up in the international arena?

"No matter what the Konoha side can say, condoning the rebellious witches of the country of ghosts is obviously the practice of the previous generation of witches. Going to the witches of this generation... I am afraid that the results will be limited. Moreover, the witches of the country of ghosts have a special identity. , For this kind of thing, they don't want to explain anything, no matter what the result is, the witch can stay out of it."

Rosa frowned in distress.

Now that I think about it, all of Sha Yin's actions are passively being led by the nose.

From the very beginning, when the debt collectors made trouble in the country of wind, Damingfu, the country of ghosts was already in the process of setting up a bureau.

They confusedly believed that the country of ghosts did not have the strength to resist the great powers, so they carried out a series of wrong policies. For such losses, all high-level executives cannot escape the blame.

Since there was an accident on their side, most of the troops belonging to Maki, who stayed in the country of ghosts, have already lost their luck.

Such a heavy sacrifice made Luo Sha feel very bad.

"What is Master Fengying going to do?"

"Next, I will lead the troops again and try to drive Uchiha Liuli out of the country of wind."

On the word 'try your best', Luo Sha bit hard.

It can be seen that he himself does not have much confidence in this matter.

"Aren't Konoha Hokage and the witch of the land of ghosts planning to negotiate?"

"Naturally, negotiation is necessary. It is estimated that the witches in the land of ghosts will be difficult to achieve. In the end, they will use force to speak. But Konoha may be our help."

"Konoha...help?"

Regarding Feng Ying's remarks, all the senior officials of Sha Yin were thoughtful.

"As far as I know, Konoha has never given up searching for Chiba Shiroishi, Uchiha Ruri, and Hyuga Ayane. The Nine-Tails Rebellion that happened seven or eight years ago resulted in Konoha's four-generation Hokage wave Feng Minato's death. It is also inseparable from these three people. Therefore, compared to our sandy hide, Konoha is the village that is the least willing to see these three people stand up in the world.”

Once the three of Chiba Shiroishi stand firm, not only will Konoha lose face, but there will also be another terrifying enemy in the world.

It can be said that Konoha is more anxious than Sandyin now, wishing that the kingdom of ghosts would immediately perish, destroying everything about the three of them~www.readwn.com~ as if nothing happened.

As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is the friend.

If Konoha can become Shayin's help at this time, Luo Sha doesn't mind temporarily reaching a cooperation with Konoha.

"What if Konoha refuses to intervene?"

A high-level executive worried about the inquiry.

"Then tell them that Sandyin is willing to negotiate with the country of ghosts and recognize the legal status of the three of Chiba Shiraishi in the country of ghosts."

This is a lie.

Because the current conflict with the country of ghosts cannot be resolved simply by peace talks.

He would not agree on this side, nor would Daimyo's side agree.

But Luo Sha doesn't mind using such rhetoric to threaten Konoha and launch an aid operation against Sha Yin.

Because the current Konoha can't afford to gamble.
