Chapter 630 Behind the scenes
The dangerous natural environment will also affect the ninja's operational efficiency.
In this case, to launch a large-scale rescue, usually several jounin would lead a force with chuunin as the main force to support the medical ninja in an emergency march to reach the destination as soon as possible.
Like the Suna ninja, with genin and apprentices as the main force, running the puppet army and spreading it out in places where there are no roads, it would be good if they could maintain order and not chaos.
Using a puppet with specific functions as the core training team can make up for the shortcomings of genin and apprentices' personal abilities to the greatest extent, and actually blurs the tradition that chunin are generally required to possess leadership skills.
For example, those large puppets, as long as there are a few senior puppet stylists on site, it is not a problem to transform them into temporary camps and field hospitals.
"The sand ninja is really going to rise!" I hope Tsunade and those old guys are ready to meet a powerful ally! 』
Jiraiya, who has experienced two ninja wars, can certainly see the power hidden under the surface.
The traditional puppet masters of Sand Hidden Village are already the god of death on the battlefield, but after all, their number is limited;
How to deal with the mass push of the puppet legion composed of a large number of apprentices and genin?
The only options are probably to rely on tailed beasts and large psychic beasts to kill them by force, or to send assassination masters to risk a surprise attack.
But if this happens, the war will quickly become intense, with jinchūriki fighting each other and tailed beast jade flying around. The "shadow" with the power to move mountains and seas will definitely not be able to sit still.
Extremely efficient killing will crush the advantages of Konoha Village's ordinary ninjas with their large base and strong overall strength.
While the strength of a ninja village is determined by the strength and number of top ninjas, those who cannot reach the "Kage" level of combat power are just waving flags and shouting.
Of course, the Land of Fire and the Leaf Village are still strong, but they will not be as comprehensively ahead as before, and the advantages will not be so obvious. For example, in the puppet field that looks promising, Sunagakure Village is the only one, and other Ninja Villages are competing. No qualifications.
…
Just when Jiraiya and others were sighing, in the mountains more than 20 kilometers away, rocks collapsed on all sides, filling less than half of the canyon in the middle, and the bulldozed trees fell on the ground.
The clouds and rain in the sky still did not stop. Under the command of Daimaru, the Suna ninja wearing a raincoat chose a relatively safe hillside to station.
The giant puppets were gathered together, the height of the site was adjusted, the roof was removed, and they were spliced together to form a two-story house that occupied a large area and served as a temporary field hospital.
"It would be great if Yuno was here!"
Daimaru couldn't help but complain. There were only a few medical ninjas in Sunagakure Village, and their background was far inferior to that of Konoha Village.
Being upset doesn't help. The top priority is to rescue the wounded.
Fortunately, there are not many serious injuries, and there will be no disabilities or sequelae that will affect the future. There are just too many minor injuries, many bruises, and those with inconvenient hands and feet that need care and may not be able to return for a while. job.
After stabilizing the injuries of several seriously injured people who were at risk of worsening, Daimaru returned to the scene of the incident and carefully examined the surrounding traces.
After a while, Leman, who had settled the situation, followed.
"Sorry, Lord Commander!"
"Pursuing responsibility is a matter for the future..."
Daimaru shook his head and asked calmly,
"It was indeed an accidental natural disaster. Didn't someone deliberately cause trouble?"
"I didn't find any suspicious traces, and I didn't notice any abnormal chakra fluctuations..."
Leman, whose fighting ability is not outstanding, was recommended to Daimaru's subordinates as an important cadre because of his chakra sensing ability.
In the entire Naruto Village, Leman has the strongest investigative ability. If you include Nighteye who is stranded in Sunagakure Village and presides over the training base, there is no suspicious person around who can approach silently.
Unfortunately, there are still loopholes to be found in the chaotic wilderness.
Moreover, neither visual detection nor chakra perception is foolproof.
For example, Uchiha Obito, who is good at the Mayfly Jutsu and the Time and Space Ninjutsu, is really hard to guard against if he wants to cause trouble.
Even if necessary, it is impossible to place barriers everywhere.
After sending Leman to take charge of the rear, Daimaru waved his chakra wings, flew high into the sky, looked down, released a few puppets, spread out his senses, and absorbed natural energy into his body.
A few minutes later, he opened his dark eyes against the sudden lengthening of his hair, which ended in blood-red brown hair.
The perception ability has been strengthened several times, with Daimaru as the center, spreading in all directions, exploring all the clues below.
At the same time, Jiraiya, who was sitting in the distance, changed his expression and looked into the distance.
"This feeling...is true!" It’s really amazing. Apart from Mt. Miaomu, this is the first immortal I’ve encountered! 』
Although the ninja world is basically certain that Daimaru has mastered Sage Mode, very few have actually seen its use.
"What's wrong, lustful immortal!"
"Nothing, just a little thing!"
After appeasing the somewhat strange Uzumaki Naruto, he hesitated and gave up his plan to investigate.
Jiraiya, who was exposed to sentience, understood that Daimaru was just sorting out suspicious people, not necessarily fighting.
Even if there is a thief with bad intentions, with the power of Sage Mode, he will definitely be able to defeat him. As a Konoha ninja, we should not intervene at will before being asked for help. After all, this is the sphere of influence of the Sand Ninja.
…
Not long after, Daimaru landed on the ground and looked at the soft soil on the ground with disappointment.
A mountain avalanche can be triggered by just a slight vibration from a shout; triggering a mudslide at the right time is not much more difficult.
The rain was still falling, and even if someone did do something, the traces would have been almost washed away.
Daimaru himself still prefers that this was an accident. There are only a few masters who can escape detection, and it is even more obvious that they are enemies of Daimaru and Sunagakure Village. It is hard to believe that the S-class rebellious ninjas of the "Akatsuki" organization are so boring. It embarrasses a few genin and even apprentices.
Even Ohnoki, who hates Daimaru deeply, would probably not lower himself to play such a little trick.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. In the past year or so, I've offended a lot of people, and I'm a little suspicious!" 』
He shook his head with a chuckle and walked slowly towards the temporary camp.
…
It wasn't until night fell that the intermittent rain stopped. After all the wounded were settled, Daimaru returned to the station and sent a message to Sasha and Yuno who were in Konoha Village to purchase a batch of medicinal materials for support.
Kurama Yakumo, who came to Naruto Village during the holidays and seemed to have something to discuss with Daimaru, had no intention of chatting with Jiraiya and Uzumaki Naruto. After roughly judging the status of the newly established camp, he sent a message to the family to prepare manpower and supplies. , as a "bribery" pill to rely on!
