Chapter 62 Regional Blocking War

On a mountain full of bare rocks in Akihabara, the cold winter wind was blowing wildly. The snow on the rocks covered the entire mountain with silver while greedily absorbing the warmth from the ninja.

Yeshan, covered in a white windproof coat, was hiding in a valley with his eyes closed, resting. Beside him was Yamashiro Tatsu, who was dressed in the same outfit. As for Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Seiji, they were on guard not far away.

This was already the third day that Uchiha Fugaku's team had been in hiding, and the expected enemy had not appeared, making them inevitably feel anxious.

Ye Shan really wanted to question Hatake Sakumo why he didn't choose to send all the troops to attack and completely annihilate the enemy, but instead dispersed the troops and launched a regional blocking war.

Ninjas cannot be merciful, not only to their enemies, but also to their own people. A frontal battle will certainly result in a large number of casualties, but the mission will be perfectly completed. Even if a large number of ninjas are sent to support the loss of a large number of manpower on the front battlefield, it will not change the facts. After all, the border defense forces of the Fire Country are waiting for them dozens of kilometers behind.

It is inevitable to sacrifice the names of some companions in order to complete the mission. No one can have the best of both worlds. Hatake Sakumo's decision will bring uncertainty to the mission, which is something Yeshan would never dare to think about.

About twenty teams were deployed by Hatake Sakumo to the mountains of Akihabara to block possible reinforcements from Sunagakure and Amegakure, and he himself only brought more than twenty people to attack the hundreds of enemies left in Akihabara.

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

But Yeshan is a ninja and can only unconditionally obey the arrangements of the supreme commander Hatake Sakumo, even if his orders are inappropriate.

Feeling irritable, Ye Shan took out his kettle and took a big gulp of water. He looked up at the gray sky and realized that a large cloud had covered the entire mountain area. Obviously, there would be rain and snow, which would be unfavorable for the battle.

As the sky was about to fall into darkness, the steel wire wrapped around Ye Shan's little finger shook violently, instantly dispelling all the distracting thoughts in his mind.

"Are there enemies?" Ye Shan, who touched Uchiha Fugaku, asked in a low voice.

Uchiha Fugaku's tough face was full of fatigue. He quickly made a few gestures to explain the enemy situation to Yeshan.

'There is a team of ninjas in the ten o'clock direction in the northwest.' Ye Shan interpreted what Uchiha Fugaku meant, narrowed his eyes, and then gestured to tell others not to take action. He would teach the ignorant enemy a lesson alone.

Shancheng Chen looked at Ye Shan with some worry, but he didn't say anything. As Ye Shan's teammate, after years of working together, he could easily detect the dissatisfaction and irritability hidden in Ye Shan's heart. It was a taboo for ninjas to perform tasks with emotions, and perhaps it would be much better to let Ye Shan vent.

A standard Sand Village team was cautiously crossing the border and heading towards Akihabara. Their mission was simple: kill all Konoha ninjas they encountered and ensure that their companions who were carrying out the task of relocating the people could return to the Kingdom of Wind.

When the leading Sand Ninja keenly sensed that something was wrong and was about to speak out to warn, a figure suddenly rushed in from the center of the team's formation, and without saying a word, swung a dagger and stabbed towards his heart.

The leading Sand Ninja was a little stunned. Ninja fighting is all about coordinated operations and feint attacks. Isn't he afraid of being worn out to death by rushing into the enemy's formation alone?

Facing Ye Shan's slashing attack, the leading Sand Ninja snorted coldly, shook his wrist, took out a kunai, and met the attack without hesitation.

'when'

The sound of iron clashing echoed in the cold mountains, and the remaining Sand Ninjas all attacked with their own methods, hitting the vital points of the Konoha Ninja who was not aware of the danger in his life with the weapons in his hands.

There was no fluctuation on Ye Shan's cold face, as if he didn't care about the siege of the Sand Ninja at all. His narrowed eyes stared at the hideous-looking Sand Ninja like a poisonous snake.

"Ninjutsu: Blazing Flames!"

A large amount of flames suddenly gushed out of Yeshan's body, engulfing everything around him in front of the horrified gazes of the Sand Ninjas, leaving them no chance to jump away to avoid it.

The results of Yeshan's intensive practice of ninjutsu shone for the first time in the ninja world. Several Sand ninjas didn't know until their death why this Konoha ninja could release ninjutsu without forming hand seals and even spray flames from the surface of his body.

After melting the Sand Ninja Team with one strike, Ye Shan nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the charred bodies. The fire attribute chakra extracted from the heart was undoubtedly much more powerful than ordinary fire attribute chakra, and due to the existence of the sealing technique, it did not require any seals to be cast instantly, which made Ye Shan very satisfied.

The traditional Chinese medicine thought from the ancient Eastern country deeply influenced Ye Shan. The heart belongs to fire, the kidney belongs to water, the lung belongs to gold, the spleen belongs to earth, and the liver belongs to wood. Every person's organs are a perfect five-element system. The small body contains enough power to destroy the world. It is based on this that Ye Shan thought of developing his own unique ninjutsu.

This battle scene fell into the eyes of Uchiha Fugaku from a distance, completely overturning his twenty years of knowledge of ninjutsu. With the excellent insight of the Sharingan, he only saw a flash of extremely colorful chakra on Ye Shan's body, and then a large amount of flames appeared out of thin air, and then several Sand Ninjas died.

Sage of the Six Paths, can anyone tell me what this is? When can chakra be used like this?

When Ye Shan returned to the place where he had been hiding, he was greeted by three pairs of eyes that had seen a ghost. Uchiha Fugaku moved his lips a few times, but he couldn't ask Ye Shan how he did it. Although the two of them were very close, they each had their own little secrets, and it would be very bad to ask rashly.

Ye Shan smiled and said, "After I die, everything will belong to the Uchiha clan."

This sentence was said very bluntly, so bluntly that it made Uchiha Fugaku feel a little embarrassed. He wanted to say no, but when he thought of the temptation of the secret technique, he didn't say a word and just nodded calmly.

For Ye Shan, the Uchiha clan is his great benefactor. When he dies, all the secrets can be handed over to the Uchiha clan, which is both a way of repaying the favor and an investment. Ye Shan believes that the value he has shown will make the Uchiha clan truly regard and protect him as a member of the clan, rather than using him as a tool.

As for whether the Uchiha clan members can succeed in their practice, it is not something that Ye Shan should worry about. This secret technique requires not only talent for practice, but most importantly, a strong mental strength. Ye Shan has been practicing for more than 40 years in his previous and current lives, and he is the only one in the entire ninja world who has had this experience.

However, there are always talented people in every generation. Perhaps the younger generation will far surpass Ye Shan in terms of mental strength. After all, the ninja world is not short of geniuses.

Gradually, the sky became completely dark, and Uchiha Fugaku's team encountered three waves of enemy attacks. Although they perfectly annihilated the enemy every time, the situation seemed to be developing for the worst.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at the kunai in his hand and asked coldly: "What are we?"

Uchiha Qingsi said in a hoarse voice: "It can be regarded as a nail wedged in the mountain."

Hearing the dissatisfaction in the two people's words, Ye Shan pursed his lips and said, "It's more appropriate to say it's a fishing net."

"Fishing nets?"

"Nearly 20 teams are lurking on the road that the Sand Ninja must pass through. There is a team every five kilometers, connecting them together to form a large network to block the Sand Ninja's advance."

Ye Shan's words fell into Uchiha Fugaku's ears, causing him to nod in resonance. They are not a fishing net now, but now the fish can still be blocked. Once the big fish comes, the net will inevitably break and the fish will escape.

The situation was too passive, and Hatake Sakumo's arrangement was not very wise. Even though he had the advantage in numbers, he did not choose to concentrate his advantages to annihilate the enemy, but instead dispersed his forces to block the attack, which made Uchiha Fugaku complain in his heart.

The migration of tens of thousands of people was a difficult process. Judging from the mobility of the ninjas, it was no different from a turtle's pace. The difficulty of this battle for the people was that it could not be completed quickly and secretly, and they were bound to be attacked by the enemy during the migration.

In fact, tens of thousands of people are nothing to the Fire Nation, just a few villages. But for the sparsely populated Wind Nation, tens of thousands of people are tens of thousands of productive forces, enough to produce a large amount of food to ensure the country's food bottom line. Qiuye was originally the territory of the Wind Nation. Even if it was ceded to the Fire Nation, it was only temporary and would be taken back in the future.

Territory can be ceded, but population cannot. This is the bottom line of the Daimyo of the Wind Country. Under high pressure, no matter how reluctant the Kazekage is, he can only accept it.

But the Fire Country Daimyo's actions are totally unnecessary. The resources consumed in resettling a group of people who have lost their land and homes far outweigh the value that can be created. His actions are purely out of idleness and disgusting.

As if the sky had heard Ye Shan’s dissatisfaction, it began to drizzle, which surprised Ye Shan. It was snowing yesterday. Could it be that the temperature changed so much in one day?

The drizzle of rain fell on the windbreaker, making a barely audible sound, which calmed Ye Shan's irritable heart. He has always been a calm person, but Hatake Sakumo's self-destructive behavior made him depressed, and he had no idea what would happen next.

The sporadic battles turned into continuous fighting as the rain fell, and some Sand Ninjas had already crossed the defense line and headed towards Akihabara, and the situation finally got out of control.
