Escape From Konoha

"... Konoha has already started."

In the conference room, Shiraishi casually unplugged a fortress in the eastern area of ​​the Bear Kingdom on the military sand table.

There are a total of 1,400 ninjas stationed in the Bear Country, and they are stationed in five militarized fortresses.

One in the southwest, two in the east, one in the north and one in the northeast.

This time Konoha attacked the most marginal military fortress in the east, that is to say, there was only one military fortress placed in the eastern region.

But the military fortress in the northeast is very close to the east and has enough troops. If Konoha wants to continue to penetrate the territory of the bear country, he must consider removing this fortress in the northeast. Otherwise, at the critical moment, this will become a sharp thorn piercing the rear of Konoha's troops.

Therefore, if Konoha wants to take action in the next step, there is a high probability that it will attack the fortress of the military region in the northeast, and serve as horns for each other.

"Then it's the turn of Yan Yin and Sand Yin to act. According to the report of the security forces of Langye City in the Bear Kingdom, multiple sections of the railway track on the outskirts of their city were blown up in the morning, causing extensive damage. The rails have also been somewhat damaged...it will take some time to completely repair."

Liuli crossed her hands in front of her chest, her black and white pupils stared at the military sand table indifferently.

Langye City is an important resource city in the Kingdom of Bears. There are rich mountains and forests and a large amount of mineral resources. It is located in the north-central part of the Kingdom of Bears. It has always been an important hub connecting the four sides of the Kingdom of Bears.

"Is Yin Yin's demolition team? It's a little more capable than expected. But it doesn't matter, Ayane has passed, and Yan Yin doesn't have much time to deal with Konoha. There is also an arrangement for Sand Yin, and Konoha's side ...Let's let the Thorn group be an obstacle on their way forward. Speaking of which, they should be halfway by now, right?"

Shiraishi held a model flag printed with aster flowers and played with it in his hand, with an interesting look on his face.

"Hmph, is the vanguard unit you formed a copy of the White Fang squad we used to be in?"

Liuli snorted softly, then leaned against the wall, closed her eyes, and smiled.

"There's nothing wrong with this. After spending so much energy, I also want to see if the actual combat effectiveness of this unit is worthy of our investment over the years. But I think that the army ninjas gathered in the Kingdom of Ghosts The elite Jonin, under the leadership of our daughter, will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties on the battlefield this time!"

After finishing speaking, a sharp light flashed in Baishi's eyes.

He threw the model flag in his hand on the sand table terrain in the eastern part of Bear Country without hesitation, and stuck it in the center of the Konoha camp, like a sharp knife about to pierce Konoha's heart.

On the model flag, the word 'thorn' is clearly engraved.

"Use this to warm up the mood before ringing the death knell for Mt. Myogi."

Konoha, one o'clock in the afternoon.

In the lounge of the Hokage Building, there are only Tsunade here, and there are also the consultant group's bedtime Koharu and Mitomon Yan.

Compared with the sitting posture of the two consultants, Tsunade's sitting posture is a bit casual, holding a bottle of wine in his hand and looking at his mouth, while looking at the gray sky outside the window, he doesn't know what he is thinking .

The war has begun.

No matter how reluctant, the current matter is already an indisputable fact.

However, Tsunade has no idea what scale this war will reach and how it will end.

"Judging from the current situation, it should be considered smooth. The vanguard has successfully broken through a stronghold in the Kingdom of Ghosts. Next, as long as the fort stronghold in the northeast is opened up, it can be connected with Yan Yin."

Over there, consultant Zhuan Xiaochun was expressing his opinion.

"No, I think there's a big problem here."

Tsunade shifted his gaze back, glanced at the table on the table, and frowned after reading the frontline battle information countless times.

"Breaking a fortress with less than 300 ninja troops, invested more than 1,500 ninja troops, and only managed to take it down with one-third of the casualties. In the end, people were able to retreat smoothly... Regardless of the strength of the two sides The will to fight, just the combat power and equipment, as well as the ability to act during the war, there is a world of difference."

Tsunade bit his finger, even though he knew that the strength of the Oni Nation was not simple, but after a real fight with a real knife, he realized that some things were actually operated, which was more exaggerated than the data compared on paper.

"However, we, Konoha, are the attacking side, so we can fully bear this loss."

After turning to bed, Xiaochun replied.

"So, what about the casualties of the defending ghost country?"

Tsunade asked this question.

After turning to bed, Xiaochun was speechless.

Because the report stated that no corpses of ninjas from the Oni Nation were found on the battlefield.

Of course, the probability of zero death is a bit of a nonsense. Turning to bed Xiaochun believes that the bodies of those dead ghost country ninjas were taken away by their companions, so it seems to create the illusion of zero death.

After all, according to the feedback of many Konoha jounin, when they successfully climbed the high wall of the fortress and fought with the ghost country jounin, they broke the Chakra armor of many ghost country jounin, and also captured their hands. The weapons in it, and severely damaged the ninja of these ghost countries.

Logically speaking, it is difficult to predict the number of deaths in the Oni Land, but according to Konoha Kaminin's dictation, there are not a few people who were slightly or seriously injured.

The fact that no corpse was found does not mean that the ghost kingdom has no losses.

"This is where the problem arises. Even if the country of ghosts does not have zero deaths, the number of deaths must be pitifully low... and the casualties of our assault troops are close to one-third. If the opponent fights to the death while defending If they don’t retreat, although they can be completely wiped out, the assault troops will probably suffer heavy casualties. There are still four such strongholds left in the Bear Country.”

Tsunade's voice was low.

After turning to bed, Koharu and Mito Monyan looked at each other.

Apparently they also noticed this problem.

"Konoha, no, it's the Ninja Village of the big country today, which pays too much attention to the number of ninjas. It is true that the number of ninjas Konoha is currently editing exceeds 20,000, and its overall strength has surpassed Konoha in the third Ninja World War , but in terms of elitism, the work arrangements are very poor. The existence of ninjas, the stronger the strength, the opponent's strength has not reached a certain level, basically the difference in numbers can be ignored."

In other words, Konoha's current ninja army is bloated and inferior.

These shortcomings can be changed, as long as time is given.

But time, now is used to go to war. Although the war will quickly make the ninja stronger, when the number of sacrifices exceeds the range that Konoha can bear, then the idea of ​​relying on war training will only backfire in the end.

Because the opponent is very cruel and powerful, once they fight, after seeing Konoha's weakness, they will not give Konoha enough room to develop, but will quickly annihilate Konoha's vitality.

The kingdom of ghosts has a strong confidence to do so.

This is also one of the main reasons why Tsunade does not want to fight this war, not only because she approves of Shiraishi's approach... but also because once the two sides fight, Konoha's current flaws will be infinitely magnified.

The performance of the assault battle made Tsunade more certain of this.

Today's Konoha ninjas are bloated organizationally and have no time to accumulate their own strength.

In Tsunade's view, what Konoha needs most now is not war, but to stop expanding the scale of ninjas, change from quantity to quality, and fundamentally strengthen Konoha.

After all, the military expenditure to maintain 20,000 ninjas is already very heavy for Konoha.

"You two... How long has it been since you went to the outside world to take a look?"

Tsunade looked sharply at Koharu and Mitomon Yan.

These words left the two consultants speechless. They wanted to open their mouths to explain something, but found that they couldn't say anything.

How long has it been since you took a look at the outside world?

This question, combined with the current information, instantly put a layer of shame on their faces.

Data cannot lie.

As Tsunade said, Konoha's ninja troops have serious problems.

"So, how do we proceed in the next battle? Do we need to change our strategy?"

Mitomon sighed.

Wandering in the beautiful fantasy that belongs to Konoha in this era, the achievements of the assault force now, after what Tsunade said, made him feel uncomfortable.

But the battle has already begun, and even if you know about these ills, it will be difficult to escape.

"At the moment, we can only see the tricks, and adjust the strategy in time by observing the actions of the kingdom of ghosts. Other than that, there is no better way." Tsunade put down the bottle in his hand, stood up from the sofa, and walked Going to the window, looking at the big snowflakes falling outside, "However, this is not what I am most worried about now."

The two consultants looked around, puzzled by Tsunade's meaning.

"After this information, what I am most worried about now is that it is not any one of the three of them who is in charge of fighting Jiraiya in the ghost country. In other words, the three of them do not need to deal with Jiraiya in person. The extent of the shot. If that's the case, the situation on our side will be very passive."

After Tsunade finished speaking, he fell silent.

"How is it possible, Jiraiya is also one of the Konoha Sannin anyway, and a ninja who has learned the magic of Mt. Miaogi!"

Turning to bed Koharu looked at Tsunade in disbelief.

"Who knows about this kind of thing? After all, we have no idea what kind of strategy the Kingdom of Ghosts will adopt for this assault..."

Tsunade took a deep breath, and the worried look on her face was reflected on the glass of the window.

In the afternoon, twenty past one.

"Eh? So today is Hinata's birthday?"

Naruto, who just got up from the bed in the afternoon, had just finished washing when Sakura and Sai came to visit together.

Knowing from Sakura that today is Hinata's birthday, Naruto couldn't help opening his mouth wide, with a dazed expression of not knowing.

"Yeah, otherwise what do you think? Why, didn't Master Jiraiya not tell you?"

In the living room on the first floor, Sakura asked Naruto who just came out of the bathroom.

"No, after the lecherous fairy sent me back yesterday, he left in a hurry and didn't know where to go. And since I came back yesterday, I have been sleeping at home and just woke up."

Naruto thought about what happened yesterday, and made sure that Jiraiya did not tell him about Hinata's birthday.

What's more, he has no idea where to look for Jiraiya now that he is going to seek proof from him.

"Really? Forget it, I knew you didn't have any preparations. There is still a little time before the birthday party tonight, and there is still time to choose gifts. After that, Sai and I will help you choose."

Sakura said with a smile.

"This guy wants to be together too?"

Naruto's eyes slanted to Sai, his expression was a little depressed, and he felt that his body was not strong enough.

"There's no other way. After all, Sai is also a member of Class 7. Besides, Shikamaru also invited Sai to attend the birthday party at night on behalf of Hinata, so don't say these things."

"Understood. Since it is your request, Sakura, I will cooperate with this guy."

As he said that, Naruto glanced at Sai secretly, and found that the other party was still smiling, and he didn't know what he was laughing at, so he felt that the other party's smiling face was very flat, and he cut it in displeasure.

"Speaking of which, is there no problem with the cultivation of Mount Miaomu? Seeing how tired you are, you should have achieved something, right?"

Sakura asked curiously.

While maintaining a smiling face, Sai quietly pricked up his ears.

He has been paying close attention to the matter of Kyuubi Jinchuriki all the time. This is the task entrusted to him by Danzo.

Especially the fact that Naruto went to Mt. Miaomu to practice immortality, even Danzo took it very seriously.

"Ah, you mean fairy art? I have only just mastered a little bit of tricks now. However, even if I only mastered a little bit of tricks, I feel that my current strength has changed drastically from the past. There will be opportunities in the future. Alright, let me perform for you, Sakura!"

Naruto clenched his fists, and suddenly had the desire to show off.

"Uh, that's not necessary, as long as you can practice smoothly, it's better than anything else."

Sakura declined Naruto's performance plan.

"Oh, that's how it is."

A little disappointed, but Naruto quickly cheered up, went upstairs to the bedroom and got dressed, then came down, took out a few slices of bread from the refrigerator, and a carton of milk, as today's lunch.

After eating a simple lunch, Naruto locked the door and left the house with Sakura and Sai, and walked towards Konoha's commercial street.

"Well, Sakura, aren't the ninjas on the street a little deserted recently? It seems to be a lot less."

Naruto looked around and found that the proportion of ninjas in the crowd was much lower than before, which made him feel puzzled.

"Observe very carefully, Naruto, it seems that the raid training arranged for you before was not a waste of time, and the attention to the surrounding environment has obviously improved a lot."

Unexpectedly, Naruto would see these questions at a glance, Sakura smiled in surprise.

"Of course, I am now, even Captain Yamato, I will be surprised when I see it!"

Naruto, who said so, obviously felt full confidence in his current strength.

Sakura smiled and said nothing, Naruto has always been so happy to spend his days, as if he didn't know what sorrow was, staying by his side really relaxed his mood a lot.

"It's best not to mention this kind of thing in front of Captain Yamato." Sakura paused and glanced at the crowd around her, "However, some changes have indeed taken place in the village recently, but I remember that two days ago, the people in the crowd There are still not so few ninjas, could it be that the reason why more people have come to entrust missions recently?"

"But, isn't it the New Year's Eve?"

"Maybe this year is special."

Sakura thought about it but couldn't figure it out, so she could only give this kind of answer ambiguously.

But Sai, who was like an invisible person following the two of them, narrowed his eyes carefully.

His intuition told him that the reason for the decrease in ninjas in the village was definitely not what Sakura said, but because there were more task entrusters.

"Okay, let's hurry up and pick out gifts. We will meet at the designated place at five o'clock in the afternoon. By the way, Naruto, do you have any plans to pick out any gifts?"

Sakura asked while walking on the road.

"Hmm..." Naruto stopped in the middle of the road, tilted his head and began to think hard, frowning in distress, "I don't have any experience in giving gifts to girls. What would Hinata like?"

You just pack yourself up and send it over there. Although Sakura thought so in her heart, she didn't say it out of her mouth.

"I don't know about that either. Besides, you are closer to Hinata than I am to Hinata."

Sakura said so.

She really didn't know much about Hinata. Before graduating from the ninja school, she only knew that she was a shy and noble lady from a wealthy family.

Usually they rarely play together, even after graduating from school, the number of times they meet is not that frequent.

The most in-depth contact was only during the Chunin exam.

Naruto nodded in approval and began to ponder.

"I think it's better for the gift to be more practical. If the gift given in the past is not used often, it doesn't make much sense to give it."

I think a romantic gift would make Hinata happier. Sakura sighed.

But he also knew that if Naruto's elm head gave a gift to a girl, it would be impossible to choose a romantic gift.

"So, have you thought about what to give, Naruto?"

"That's the one!"

Naruto pointed at the opposite shop and blurted out.

◎

Unlike Konoha Village, which is still in peace, due to the surprise attack by Konoha ninja troops, the towns and military forts in the Bear Kingdom have been completely banned, and a big battle is inevitable.

Under the command of Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, the Konoha Ninja Troop who successfully pulled out a military fortress in the Kingdom of Demons in the east, gradually built this fortress into a stronghold of Konoha's own camp, which is closely related to the Oni in the Kingdom of Bears. National ninja troops, for a confrontation.

Just as both sides stood still, but each other was monitoring the movement of the troops, a ninja troop with a size of 3,000 broke through the ice and snow at an extremely fast speed, and began to run wildly in the territory of the Bird Country.

The 3,000 ninjas were divided into 30 squadrons of 100 people. The captain of each squadron was either a Jōnin or a special Jōnin.

The rest of the squadron is composed of Chunin and Genin.

They trampled on the thick branches of the big tree, which were strong enough to withstand the trampling of a human body, and they kept shaking under the trample of the ninja, with no tendency to stop.

The snow above has long since fallen off, exposing the bare bark.

Afterwards, afterimages passed by, except for the sound of trampling on the branches, no one made a sound during the period, so this ninja troop advancing at an extremely fast speed seemed quiet and did not attract anyone's attention.

On the foreheads bound on their brows,

Wearing Konoha's ninja forehead, revealing the forehead mark that only belongs to Konoha ninja.

The affiliation of this ninja troop is obvious, they come from Konoha Ninja Village.

Judging from the direction in which this troop was traveling, it pointed directly at the Bear Kingdom.

The sky is dark, the cold wind howls in the forest, and the snow as big as goose feathers is flying. Occasionally, the howling of wolves can be heard from afar.

"There are only 30 kilometers left to the destination, the teams should not relax, sense the ninjas and the ninjas of the Hyuga clan, and strengthen your guard!"

The leader, Konoha Jōnin, is wearing Konoha's Jōnin uniform. On the uniform, besides the family crest of the Uzumaki clan, there is another family crest on the shoulder.

That is the family crest belonging to the Sarutobi clan.

This Konoha Jominin was born in the Sarutobi clan, a clan member of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He was about forty years old, with a tall body, and there was a scar under his lips, which made his already tall body look even more fierce.

"yes!"

From the radio next to my ear, there was an energetic response from the captains of each squadron.

Although they knew that during this period of time, as a reinforcement force, they would not be attacked by any force, the teams still maintained a high level of vigilance.

The team moved on, except for the squadron leaders, who occasionally communicated by radio, and otherwise, it was just a tedious rush.

—The end of the forest.

The waterfall washes away the snow, and the pools below freeze into ice.

On the rock, eleven figures stood.

Except for the girl who led the team, everyone else was wearing a pitch-black windbreaker, revealing the chakra armor inside, reflecting the luster of metal.

The color of the ordinary chakra armor is different from that of the ordinary chakra armor, which is mostly silver-white, while the chakra armor on them is a thicker jet black armor from the outside.

In the center of the armor, there is a strangely colored purple gem inlaid.

There are two standard sabers at the waist, one long and one short, and a black mask with a long beak on the face, only revealing a pair of bright pupils.

These people are either tall or short, male or female, in terms of height and build.

They were either standing, or sitting on knee-bending rocks, or squatting on the ground, their eyes under the black beak mask stared at the forest ahead without blinking.

Clang!

The blade fell into the ground.

Yi Ji gently pressed both hands on the hilt of the Kusanagi sword inserted into the snow, and the snowflakes fell on her shoulders and her long black hair, bringing a trace of coolness.

The red Sangouyu Sharingan looked straight ahead with a calm expression, and in the cold and cruel environment, there was no wavering in his eyes.

"How far are they from getting here?"

The ninja squatting on the ground touched the ground with his black gloved fingers.

A tender tree bud broke through the soil and stood firm in the wind and snow.

"About six kilometers."

After getting this answer, without warning, the blue Chakra on the surface of Ichihime’s body spewed into the sky like an out-of-control volcano, and then this torrent of Chakra quickly turned into a flowing flame, making the entire space, All covered by high temperature.

The icy cold winds that ravage the land cannot invade.

The snowflakes covering the earth also began to melt, and the bead of water dripped with scalding heat.

A giant warrior burning lava rose from the ground, his eyes were as bright as the sun's flames, and he held a flaming sword tightly in his hand.

The samurai raised the flaming sword, and the UU reading book www.uukanshu.com sword lattice extended to the sides, turning into a cross sword.

Immediately, the sword grid was bent backwards, and a golden flame bowstring connected the two ends of the swirling sword grid to form a bow that could be shot from a distance.

"Now there are less than five kilometers left."

The voice came again.

The samurai was like a living creature, emitting hot white steam from its nostrils, making the surrounding snowstorm inaccessible, and exuding an extremely dangerous aura.

Kazuhime held the hilt of the Kusanagi sword with one hand, pulled the sword out of the soil, and held it forward.

Sangouyu's Sharingan began to emit a blood-like luster.

"Then, let's set off a salute to celebrate the arrival of the blood feast in advance."
