Chapter 1222 Gathering
Of course, pre-war exercises are not all about showing off strength. Since they are friendly forces, it is necessary to understand the scope of each other's abilities to avoid overestimation or underestimation, which will affect the deployment of battle formations.
In the current battle of large ninja armies, Sand Ninja has almost no opponents. Under the same combat power evaluation system, whether it is the joint combat group of Konoha Village, the demolition force of Iwa Ninja, or the heavy armored samurai group of Iron Country, They were all defeated without any suspense.
The resistance was a little fiercer, but the ballista position protected by the elites of Yunyin Village was still in shape.
As for the Kirigakure Village, out of the seven ninja swordsmen, only Chojuro is left with a double sword, the flathead. The decapitating sword he exchanged from Daimaru's hand can't even find a decent successor.
Sunagakure Village, which stole the show, truly demonstrated the characteristics of weak forces defeating strong ones.
The almost one-sided battle made the leading figures in each village watching the battle look unhappy, but they were not overly worried.
It's great to have an advantage in a big battle, but in the history of the ninja world, it's rare to actually assemble a large army, fight head-on, and decide the outcome. The most commonly used tactics by ninjas is still five to five. A small team of about ten people penetrated behind enemy lines, carried out surprise attacks, assassinations, and explosions to disrupt the enemy until one side could no longer hold on.
Every time thousands of ninja troops face off against each other, it is a landmark event worthy of special mention. For example, tens of thousands of ninjas surrounded and killed the Raikage Sandaime. That only happened when the right time, place, and people were indispensable. .
Even so, when Sunagakure Village changed its past tyrannical habits of bluffing and began to show its true heritage to outsiders, it did make other people's views of Sunagakure change a lot.
Sunagakure Village is no longer the disruptor that occupies a favorable position, has a stable foothold, and is not aggressive enough. Instead, it is a candidate for the hegemony of the ninja world on par with Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village.
A few years ago, if Sunagakure Village had its current strength, it would not have surrendered so quickly in the "Konoha Collapse Plan".
Of course, all this has passed. We are all allies fighting side by side. Having a companion who can fight by your side can still bring you a lot of security.
Due to the special organization, Sunagakure Village's puppet army could not find an external leader at all, so they simply set up an independent camp, controlled by Yami, and directly took orders from the captain Gaara.
In this way, we can avoid the situation where an amateur commands an expert to the greatest extent. Although Gaara is not a puppet master, he is not a stranger to it, and he should not assign tasks indiscriminately.
In just one day, the puppet masters of Sand Hidden Village demonstrated their unimaginable construction capabilities. They built a base covering an area of nearly two square kilometers with complete facilities from scratch at a speed visible to the naked eye. Built.
As for how it is done, it is actually not difficult to understand.
If you really have to start from a screw, it will definitely not work. The puppet masters of Sunagakure Village have also accumulated a lot of rich experience after going through the construction of Awaji Village and Naruto Village. Prefabricated modular parts , just use the mature prototype to carry it. After the task is completed, more than half of the parts can be recycled and used again.
It's not a permanent military base, it's just a temporary camp. It doesn't need to be too elaborate. Just build the most important flying puppet take-off and landing platform and mechanic maintenance workshop to meet the main functional requirements, and that's it.
The large floor space is unavoidable. Most of the puppet master's combat effectiveness relies on puppets, some of which are larger. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the base, a larger space is indeed needed.
When the Five Shadows arrived one after another, they saw a steel fortress with a very metallic texture and sharp edges.
Construction obviously started in the latter step, but it was actually completed earlier than other functional areas of the headquarters.
This obvious gap also makes people feel a lot.
"Although there are many people, they are mixed but not chaotic. They are like a pieced together but well-functioning machine. They are worthy of being a sand ninja who is proficient in puppet making..."
The Tsuchikage Sandaime, who was blowing his beard and staring, was really angry at the enthusiastic but clumsy compatriots under his command, quite a bit hating that iron could not be transformed into steel.
The temporary backwardness is not the most worrying thing. The gap is getting wider and wider, and there is no reason to worry.
Among the five major ninja villages that are neck and neck, Iwagakure Village has been reduced to competing with Kirigakure Village for last place. It is surrounded by powerful neighbors. Not to mention the expansion of force, it is good not to be bullied.
The strength is all compared. In the past, except for Konoha Village, Kumogakure Village was ready to make a move. Although Iwagakure Village, Kirigakure Village and Sunagakure Village were all the top five ninja villages, they also had the possibility to compete with the overlord of the ninja world, but The overall strength is still far behind.
Now, Sunagakure Village has widened the gap with the last two strong ones.
In a confrontation between two poles, there is a risk of misfire. The three-legged confrontation is the most stable. To be honest, the five ninja villages are a bit much.
Anyone with some discernment will understand that once the triangular relationship between Cloud Hidden Village, Kirigakure Village and Konoha Village is stable, other villages will be passively involved and unable to extricate themselves.
The boss, second child, and third child are competing against each other, and there is a high possibility that the fourth, fifth, and a bunch of miscellaneous fish will be rolled into pieces.
Look at the current territory of Sunagakure Village. If you include the newly captured territory, it is more than twice the size of the Fire Country. What a terrifying potential is this?
Once the Sand Ninjas really develop all of the Wind Country, which has improved its natural conditions, Sunagakure Village will have more than 30% of the ninja world's 100% resources. It is estimated that the unique Konoha Village will be able to compare with them.
"What an enviable organizational ability!"
The Fourth Raikage Ai couldn't help but speak.
Thinking about the younger generations in my own village, they have plenty of strength and inheritance, but all of them are unruly, free-spirited, and troublesome people who are difficult to control.
Especially the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki Kirabi, if he had a normal mind and wasn't obsessed with rap, he wouldn't be working so hard.
Only by uniting as one and obeying orders can the strength be brought into full play. In this regard, Yun Ninja still needs to strengthen.
At this point, although everyone has their own thoughts, they have no choice but to suppress it, deal with the things in front of them, twist the two armies of the ninja world into a rope, and work together to defeat the "Akatsuki" organization and threaten the safety of the entire ninja world. This guy needs to be eliminated.
Next, the ninja tools and other combat preparation materials deployed from the Land of Fire arrived. The major ninja villages began to organize according to the plan, issued uniform uniforms, and arranged for commanders to be stationed. After everyone was initially familiar with the combat mode and understood their tasks, they Good for the next step.
At the main camp of the Ninja World Allied Forces Command Center, the belated Arrival of the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Rabbi Kiri, was forced by the Raikage Fifth Daime and sent his loyal ninjas to escort him back.
When the loquacious jinchūriki in sunglasses carrying a large sword and Samehada appeared in front of the Fourth Raikage, his brother with an unwavering expression glared at him majestically and grabbed his arm with his big hand:
"Don't run around at this time. If something happens, I may not take care of you!"
After a pause, he continued to ask:
"Are you still carrying this knife? Mizukage is here, and she saw it, and her face doesn't look good!"
After all, it is also the signature weapon of Kirigakure Village. It is used by a ninja from another village. After all, it is a bit awkward, especially in joint operations, and it is not suitable for conflicts.
"This is my trophy after working hard to defeat the enemy. How can I give it up casually?"
Kirabi, who was already a little unhappy at being forced to return, retorted,
“If you don’t steal or rob, no one can care about you!”
Speaking of this, Rabbi Kiri, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, felt a little emotional. He really didn't know why the famous "Tailless Beast" thoughtlessly wanted to come and provoke him.
Although its strength is not weak, it is still far behind the experienced Kirabi.
A perfect Jinchuuriki is not that difficult to deal with, especially the eight-tailed beast. The so-called "tailless beast" is still not enough in front of the real tailed beast.
Although the battle process was fierce, there were not many highlights.
The process of defeating Kisame Kisaki was not effortless, but it was not particularly thrilling either. After killing the enemy who was hysterical and seemed to have some kind of obsession, the sword Samehada became Kirabi's trophy.
An excellent weapon is a rare treasure for ninjas who are proficient in sword skills. It can greatly enhance their strength. Even if the characteristics of the broadsword and Samehada are not completely in line with Kirabi's fighting style, It is also of higher quality than most ordinary swords.
"Anyway, don't cause trouble in the near future! Several Jinchuuriki from Konoha Village are about to arrive. You and they are now comrades in the same position. You can communicate more and help each other, especially the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. When necessary, you can rely on him..."
"Kyuubi Jinchuuriki?"
In Kirabi's mind, the young man dressed in shit-yellow clothes, speaking very loudly, and whose mind seemed a little unclear,
"Very powerful?"
The Fourth Raikage replied:
"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but... the results are astonishing. Being able to cooperate with Jiraiya and Daimaru to defeat the leader of the Akatsuki organization with the Rinnegan Eye is really impressive. Moreover, according to reports from people stationed on Turtle Island, other I gained a lot from the 'Waterfall of Reality'..."
"Then...that would be interesting!"
Kirabi, who has personally experienced the "Waterfall of Reality", understands that any master who can pass the test or gain enlightenment will improve by leaps and bounds.
Kirabi, who agreed, also knew that now was not the time to act willfully, and was ready to take a short break before accepting the deployment of the coalition command.
At the same time, behind Kirabi, Inigaki Kisame, who had integrated into the sword Samehada, listened to the conversation between the two, and finally had a clear clue as to the goal of this infiltration operation.
As long as the location of the still-living Jinchuuriki is found, he must find a way to send the news to Uchiha Obito so that he can find the wandering tailed beast and successfully seal it into the Ten-Tails body.
On the other side, Tenzo, who succeeded Daimaru and temporarily took charge of the "Quick Relief Team", led the elite soldiers and generals to worry about the comfort of the seven-tailed jinchuriki Fu, the four-tailed jinchuriki Lao Zi, and the six-tailed jinchuriki Yugao.
Even with Jiraiya watching over him from time to time, it was still a bit worrying.
It stands to reason that it is safe enough in the hinterland of the Ninja Alliance. If something happens here, there will really be no safe hiding place in the Ninja World.
The biggest problem is that the Jinchuuriki are not tools after all, but living people. It is impossible to really keep them in tight custody or lock them in a safe.
Especially after the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Naruto joined, together with the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki Fu, who had a similar personality, the atmosphere of the station was enlivened, but it also brought more management problems.
When the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki Kirabi arrived, all the troublesome people gathered together, and dealing with those trivial matters every day was exhausting.
Daimaru, who was well prepared, also landed at the coalition headquarters on a flying puppet. From the sky, he saw Kirabi and the big sword Samehada behind him.
Daimaru realized that there was a "story" and did not interfere too much.
Kisame Kisaki is just a small episode in the Fourth Ninja War, a villain who allows the "savior" and his righteous partners to increase their experience and does not require Daimaru to pay too much attention.
If he can't get over this small obstacle, Daimaru really has to think carefully about whether to place his hope of sealing Kaguya Otsutsuki on Uzumaki Naruto.
In the lounge prepared for the Kazekage, Gaara, who was working on official documents at his desk, noticed Daimaru approaching and couldn't help but raise his head.
"Are you still busy at this time?"
"There are always endless chores to do. Even if you are far away from the Sunagakure Village headquarters, you can't escape!"
Gaara said calmly and asked,
"It's finally here. Are you done with your preparations?"
"Almost, but..."
Daimaru smiled and nodded,
"Do your best and obey fate!"
"You are just too greedy. You always want to get all the benefits at once!"
"A rare opportunity!"
Daimaru, who was smiling, didn't think this was a bad thing at all.
"There are not many times when the ninja world is so turbulent. Konoha Village is very fragile now. It is the main target of Uchiha Obito and the mastermind behind the scenes. Once the situation stabilizes, it will be difficult to fish in troubled waters!"
In the future envisioned by Daimaru and Gaara, after the Fourth Ninja War, the status of Amegakure Village should be preserved as much as possible, and then Sunagakure Village would secretly control it.
This is extremely difficult, but not impossible.
The key is the choice of spokesperson. Daimaru wants to support Konan. If she takes charge of the overall situation, for Jiraiya's sake, other forces will not push too hard.
Gaara felt that the risk was too great.
The Amegakure Village is not a small force with a weak presence like the Country of Tea, the Country of Bears, and the Country of Fields, but a key chess piece that can influence the outcome of the game between the major powers. It will definitely be the focus of attention of the major ninja villages.
In addition, Gaara didn't understand why Daimaru put Otsutsuki Toneri in such a key position.
That guy is an outsider, or an alien with ulterior motives. Is it too risky to expect him to abide by the agreement?
However, since Daimaru has made plans in advance, it is difficult to change.
"Reincarnation Eye and Tsangshengan, you are so generous!"
"Everything you give up comes with something!"
Daimaru smiled and shrugged.
As long as there is demand, you can find weaknesses that can be exploited, and the alien Otsutsuki Toneri is no exception.
