Chapter 460 No successor
The long-awaited formal mission made the somewhat tired Daimaru sigh softly.
In the opinion of the senior management of Sunagakure Village, Daimaru, who has mediocre strength, temporarily possesses the human puppet of the Third Kazekage, and has unparalleled flying ability, should be more suitable to deal with Onoki than Gaara.
The Sand Iron Secret Technique and the Sand Ninjutsu are similar in nature and can make up for Daimaru's shortcomings in combat power.
It stands to reason that even if Daimaru cannot defeat Onoki, he should be able to escape with his speed advantage and secret skills.
As long as Ohnoki is entangled so that his Blood Succession Elimination, Dust Release, and Original Realm Peeling techniques cannot pose a direct threat to the Sand Ninja defense line.
Whether it's a head-on confrontation between the ninja army or a small team raid, the Sand Ninja are not afraid!
The speed of the Magnetic Release·Sand Iron Boundary Technique is a bit slow and can't keep up with the rhythm; the Wood Release is not suitable for use in a big way at this time; if you can turn on the Sage Mode under the cover of the Sand Ninja defense line, it will be a "real" in ten minutes. "Man", it is also a good choice to give Ohnoki a little color.
Keeping a high profile would also be good for Daimaru's situation in Sunagakure Village. There were some vague rumors about researching forbidden arts, secretly learning wood escape, embezzling public funds, etc.
Although the air combat unit is still just an "expert at torturing food", its commander Daimaru is a serious master. Guys with ulterior motives want to "spread rumors", please take it easy and be careful of the "Red Sand Dust" The accounts will be settled in the future.
Successful people are not criticized, strong people do not stick to trivial matters! If there is a small problem, don't pursue him too closely. If the situation gets too urgent and Daimaru runs away with the young and beautiful female ninjas from other ninja villages, it will be a huge loss.
The crisis in the northern fortress came too suddenly, urging Daimaru to rush to support. Daimaru could not delay, leaving a puppet to deal with the aftermath, and then set off on the road after a little tidying up.
After flying rapidly all the way, Daimaru finally felt the northern defense line before the sun rose.
Now the entire area close to the Earth Country is like a military-controlled area. The original northern fortress has become a rear resource transfer station. The backbone fortress facing the pressure of the Iwa Ninja has moved nearly a hundred kilometers to the north.
The fortress extends the intelligence stronghold, and some even penetrate into the country of birds, directly facing the aggressive Iwa Ninja advance fortress.
Ever since the conflict between the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind, the Iwa Ninja had never faced such a weak situation, being beaten by the Sand Ninja to the border of the mountains surrounding the Kingdom of Earth.
The individual strength of the Sand Ninja is indeed superior, but in the face of the united Iwa Ninja, they rarely take advantage. Now that the offensive and defensive momentum has reversed, it is understandable that many Iwa Ninja are unconvinced and want to fight back.
But the real situation is that the Iwa ninja have insufficient foundation. It is already very good that they can survive for so long by relying on unity. At the same time, facing the pressure of the Suna ninja and Kumo ninja, they also turn against the Leaf Village and encroach on the grass country's sphere of influence for many years. It is really It's too forced.
Maybe Ohnoki had the idea of using offense instead of defense, but this was too risky and would offend the entire ninja world. Once the situation weakened, there was a direct danger of collapse.
Not long ago, Iwa Ninja probably thought that he was defeated by Daimaru and his air combat troops because of his negligence. The next thing the Sunagakure has to do is to make his mortal enemy accept the status quo. Today, Sunagakure Village has come out of its trough and is not afraid of challenges from mere Iwa ninjas.
Secretly entering the new fortress named Kaijing Mountain Castle, Daimaru and Mask talked secretly for a while. After exchanging information, they stayed in the lounge to recharge their batteries and waited for the arrival of their men Yan Mi and Furuya.
Less than thirty kilometers north of the fortress is Kaijing Mountain, which is actually controlled by the Iwa Ninja. The Sand Ninja directly named the frontline fortress Kaijing Mountain Castle, and he was not afraid of irritating the fragile heart of the Iwa Ninja?
Daimaru, who learned this detail, couldn't help but admire the "non-trivial" style of fellow Suna Ninja. Facing his mortal enemy Iwa Ninja, he didn't know how to be subtle at all. Maybe Ohnoki just saw that the Suna Ninja was too arrogant and wanted to be patient. But I couldn't get it, so I had to take this opportunity to come over and try to see if I could get some advantage.
…
In the valley ten kilometers northwest of Kaijing Mountain, Onoki and his personal bodyguard Akatsuki watched the Iwa ninjas practicing in mid-air as they charged back and forth on eagles.
"Looking like this, he is no match for Suna Ninja..."
Ohnoki blew his beard angrily.
Even though he disdains his old rival from the south, the experienced Tsuchikage Sandaime will not play with the lives of his compatriots.
If it doesn't work, it won't work. If there is no comparison with the air combat troops of Sunagakure Village, the performance of the Iwa Ninja is not bad. It is not easy to barely form an army in a short time.
But if faced with the flexible and fast wing armor, it will be completely ravaged.
The Iwa Ninja were in a bad situation. Over the past year, several operations against the Suna Ninja had failed. They had lost troops and generals, were defeated and abandoned, and had lost face.
How could Onoki, the village chief, not know about Iwa Ninja's dilemma?
But everyone is looking at him. As a Tsuchikage, Onoki knows that he must not show his cowardice, otherwise, Iwagakure Village, which relies on unity and morale, may really not be able to hold on.
On this trip south, Onoki actually had no idea of forcing the Suna Ninja to back down and reap benefits. He only wanted to rely on his strength to slightly frustrate the Suna Ninja and slightly boost the low morale of his compatriots.
If possible, Onoki would like to contact Suna Ninja and let everyone put on a show. Iwa Ninja will be named and Suna Ninja will benefit from it. Everyone gets what they need. They will turn this page over and go home to lick their wounds. Find out next time. The opportunity opens again.
"They are all troublesome guys!"
The Iwagakure Village was in turmoil, and no one could take over Ohnoki's position as the Fourth Tsuchikage; the Blood Successor was eliminated and the Dust Release could not find a successor. Deidara, who had high hopes, defected due to unfavorable management.
Previously, Onoki still had Deidara's youthful spirit and would go home to inherit the mantle after having enough fun outside. However, he was attacked by the Sand Ninja and was seriously injured and fell into the sea and disappeared. His life or death was unknown.
Chitu chuckled and said:
"With Lord Tsuchikage's protection, everyone feels at ease!"
"How can you say such unambitious things? What will you do if I'm gone one day?"
Ohnoki was so angry that he just wanted to jump. In fact, this was also a common attitude in the hearts of Iwa Shinobi. The seemingly omnipotent Sandaime-sama could always lead Iwagakure Village to victory. However, he did not want to think that Ohnoki, who was born in the Warring States Period, is now seven years old. Sixteen years old, the younger Chiyo has been retired for many years, and the nearly seventy-year-old Hokage Third Generation Sarutobi Hiruzen is dead.
Among the five great ninja villages, only the Genshi from Kirigakure Village is approaching ninety years old and is still doing his best for the village.
How many years can Ohnoki, who is over seventy years old, still be able to work?
After feeling sulky, Onoki asked in a deep voice:
"Is there any movement in the south?"
"No!"
"The new kid who succeeded the Kazekage is so calm!"
Onoki snorted coldly!
