Chapter 336 Initial Formation
The current situation is obvious. Iwagakure Village knows that its sworn enemy in the south has calmed down, and there is no hope of fishing in troubled waters.
Even so, the Iwa Ninjas, who had begun to shrink their combat power, still hired a group of "foreign aid" to put pressure on the northern fortress.
"The confrontation between the two villages is not only a battle between ninjas, but the overall strength of the ninja village is also an important factor affecting the outcome..."
Huang Shawen concluded angrily.
Even if you are not convinced, you have to admit that the current Iwa Ninja is indeed stronger than the Sand Ninja.
Using banknotes to buy "cannon fodder" to fight a war of attrition with the Sand Ninjas, it can only be said that there are basically not many secrets between mortal enemies who have been fighting for decades.
Taking the initiative to strangle them is not necessary, abandoning a solid defense line, and clashing head-on with the Iwa ninjas will only fall into the enemy's trap. If the Iwa ninjas had the idea of luring the enemy deep and gathering together to encircle and annihilate them, wouldn't the Sand ninjas be the same? Throw yourself into a trap?
Fu Yi, who has been fighting enemies for more than ten years, said:
"The village is in dire need now and cannot take risks, but being cut and bled with the enemy's blunt knives is also intolerable..."
Why do wandering ninjas accept employment from Iwagakure and become enemies of Suna ninjas?
To put it bluntly, Sunagakure Village is still too weak. It has basically not taken the initiative to attack in so many years. The hired wandering ninjas and rebel ninjas do not think it is very dangerous.
The Sand Ninja, who had been defeated one after another, was indeed almost unable to frighten the various forces that were ready to move.
If they were hostile to Konoha Village, I believe that no matter how much money Onoki offered, he would be less likely to accept the hiring of madmen.
"Probably, this is the purpose of letting me come to observe!" 』
Daimaru understood.
Use blood and fire to recast the prestige of Sand Hidden Village, so that the greedy people who despise Sand Ninja and even dare to intervene in the war between major powers will be frightened, and use their deaths to frighten all parties.
For this kind of thing, there is no one more suitable than the air combat force.
In the report Daimaru submitted to the village, he persuaded the village to spend a lot of money to form an air combat force. One of the most important functions was strategic deterrence.
Eliminating desert locusts, resisting natural disasters, and annihilating the vicious bandit group are just a small test of their skills. The battlefield where they fight with the rock ninjas is the stage for the air combat troops.
It is also appropriate to make the Iwa Ninja and his mercenaries and servants the first official target.
Next, Daimaru waited quietly for the elders to discuss and make decisions.
Sha Li introduced everyone to the current situation in the north in detail, Fu Yi used his rich experience to analyze his own situation, and Huang Sha presided over the direction of the meeting.
Among the senior officials of Sunagakure Village, Mask is currently serving as the temporary commander of the northern fortress. Another handsome man, Maki, has been focusing on the direction of Konoha. Others can only talk in general terms.
After a few minutes, the elders who barely reached a consensus looked in the direction of Daimaru.
"I hope our trust in you is right, Daimaru..."
Huang Sha said solemnly.
"You will live up to your trust..."
Daimaru, who had been listening for a long time, stood up and replied seriously.
"We have no other better choice..."
Up and down the village, countless people were paying attention to this operation. A large portion of the revenue from the new mission share was used to form a new type of ninja army that had not been tested in actual combat. Everyone was under a lot of pressure.
No matter how many locusts and thieves are killed, they will not be convincing. Only by killing the rock ninja can the sand ninjas be truly convinced.
"Causing maximum damage at the minimum cost, killing, destroying, and spreading death and fear is what you and your subordinates will do next..."
Unlike other ninja villages, which are just conflicts of interest, Sunagakure Village and Iwagakure Village do not even have a formal official communication channel. The scene where Sunagakure and Iwagakure met but did not start a fight would only happen at the Five Kage Conference.
Once consensus is reached, how to act will become the next topic.
Shasha asked with some concern:
"Daimaru, when are you going to take action? If necessary, I will return as soon as possible, notify the mask commander, and arrange support..."
"Bingliangwan and medical ninja need to prepare as soon as possible..."
Once the air combat troops attack, it will definitely not happen overnight. If you want to completely knock back the Iwa Ninja's speculative ideas, you must make them feel real pain.
"As for the departure time, without further delay, we will set off tonight..."
"tonight?"
Fu Yi was a little surprised, but after thinking about it for a moment, he nodded and agreed.
"That's fine. A surprise first wave of blows should have the best effect..."
The tactics of the air combat troops are very different from those of ordinary ninja troops. Their super mobility makes them experts in sneak attacks on the battlefield. As long as they cause enough damage before the enemy reacts, they can achieve their goals.
Seeing that everyone present had no objections, Huang Sha gave the final order:
"Without further delay, you go and prepare immediately, and I will arrange the mission notification and material preparation..."
For the first official attack of the air combat unit, the preparations must not be neglected. In order to prevent the people below from slacking off due to lack of understanding, the elders occasionally have to supervise in person.
When a ninja village puts all its efforts into promoting something, its efficiency is astonishing.
When I came out of the conference room, it was already evening. Not long after nightfall, all members of the air combat unit had arrived and supplies were fully prepared. Even Yuno, Koji and Shishio were led to the training base by Chiwa Yami.
Yome was Daimaru's auxiliary in preparation, Sennori was Daimaru's liaison officer after his attack, and the three new recruits were brought to the battlefield as trainee spectators.
"The air combat force is a good place, with good treatment and a higher status than ordinary ninjas, but you must not retreat when needed. Even trainees must do their part..."
Daimaru activated the puppet Ghost, carried five compatriots, and led the thirteen students who had become official ninjas. They set off under the cover of night and flew towards the north.
The distance between Sunagakure Village and the Northern Fortress is not short. Daimaru himself can fly directly over the Iwa Ninja in one night and stir up chaos in the enemy's position, but others cannot.
"This time, there are no discounts on the mission, and there are no conditions to negotiate. Protect yourself and destroy everything as much as possible. Note that the priority of killing is higher than destroying..."
On the battlefield, the simpler the task, the more brutal it will be.
"This is a battlefield where every effort is made. Don't hold anything back. Nineteen people go out. I hope you can all come back like heroes..."
In the emergency team, Daimaru made the final mobilization for his subordinates.
The thirteen genin newcomers trained by Daimaru himself were not lacking in strength. Only their battlefield experience was worrying. Daimaru had to give careful advice and ask the other five companions to pay more attention.
