Chapter 974 Equivalence
The smell of Longdi Cave?
Daimaru is possessed by Ukon. Two years ago, because his physical qualifications were not up to standard, he also borrowed the power of cursed chakra. Drinking poison to quench his thirst greatly improved his physical strength and chakra amount.
Even when practicing sage mode, the basic method of sensing and absorbing natural energy was learned from the curse seal on Ukon's body.
Later, when strength began to come into play and the immortal mode began to take shape, Daimaru also began to go his own way, clearing away the traces of the past one by one.
After crossing the river and burning the bridge, Daimaru didn't have any psychological burden at all. The snake sensu technique was not in line with Daimaru's nature, and the curse seal was full of "private goods" that Orochimaru had stuffed into it. It could be used both physically and mentally. Before pollution, struggling to jump out of the fire pit was considered a skill.
"The Immortals of Mt. Myoboku want to ask about the situation in Ryuji Cave, and you are more concerned about Orochimaru..."
Daimaru waved his hand, quietly used Wind Release to build soundproof barriers around him, and then said calmly,
"Perhaps Ryūchidong is more interested in contacting me, but I personally have no idea of getting involved with those big snakes; as for Orochimaru... I can only say that the relationship between us is a transaction with ulterior motives, and there is no basis for mutual trust. , if you want to find him through me, I'm afraid you will be disappointed..."
A few months ago, Daimaru was still able to determine the exact location of Orochimaru, but now, realizing that Daimaru can set a trap for him at any time, Orochimaru is much more cautious than before. Every time he goes to a secret base, he will arrange it very tightly. The barrier allowed Daimaru to roughly delineate a location, but this kind of rough investigation could not find his hiding place.
Contacting Uchiha Sasuke through Koyamabuki is a time and space communication similar to necromancy. There is a puppet two-life curse seal technique that can guide the young man's practice, but it still cannot be accurately located.
"It really doesn't work..."
Jiraiya's drunken face showed a look of loneliness,
"There were several times when I clearly felt that he was nearby, but could not find any trace of him! In terms of talent, Tsunade and I are simply not as good as him..."
Regardless of the qualifications and inheritance of Tsunade's family, or Jiraiya's luck in being favored by Mount Myoboku, none of them are like Orochimaru, who can stand on the shoulders of his predecessors and find his own path.
Even though he felt that he was not bad in his heart, in terms of talent, Jiraiya had to feel inferior.
In this regard, the relationship between Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke is similar. It was precisely because he saw his own shadow in this generation of Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki that Jiraiya decided to teach him personally.
The identity of the son of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina and the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is only the basic condition for getting attention. Empathy and destiny-like inheritance are the main reasons.
Daimaru didn't know how to answer Jiraiya's sigh.
Daimaru, who has mediocre qualifications in nature but is known as a genius, has never seen a genius companion who has crushed him since he was a child. He insists that his skills are inferior to others, which is also caused by the gap in his background.
Except for Gaara who is really talented, in the entire Sunagakure Village, Daimaru believed that if he had enough resources and inheritance support, he would not have wasted four or five years at the genin level.
After finally excelling in the Chunin Exam, he gained the favor of others and was able to teach him some good ninjutsu.
What others have struggled for more than ten years to obtain is readily available to others when they are born. Such a gap cannot be made up casually.
Jiraiya, who had drunk too much, seemed to talk a lot more. Being able to say this to Daimaru was probably due to the fact that he was also a known sage in the ninja world and the friendship after fighting together.
The two chatted while eating and drinking. Basically, Daimaru was listening and occasionally chimed in. The rest of the time was spent showing off some of his "great achievements" and several best-selling ninja books. Forget about heroic stories, even the "Intimate Paradise" series of publications not suitable for children made Jiraiya quite proud.
Decades of rich experience in the ninja world opened the eyes of Daimaru, a young Suna ninja who rarely visited the country of wind. There were many magical but useless secret techniques, which were limited to blood inheritance but had no impact on the combat effectiveness of becoming a ninja. Uninfluenced eccentric family and more.
When talking about this, Jiraiya naturally shifted the topic to the aerial combat ninjas that had only emerged in the past two years.
"In the past Ninja World War, how could there be such a large-scale air attack on the Ninja Army? Neutral zones such as the Country of Kawa, the Country of Grass and the Country of Rain have almost lost their buffer function, and a lot of manpower and material resources were spent to build and maintain the Kikyo Mountain Castle The fortress no longer has the significance of a strategic fulcrum..."
Being on a traffic thoroughfare is definitely still valuable, but the countless stories before the Bone Burial Fortress of Sand Ninja and Rock Ninja in previous Ninja World War will probably never happen again.
Jiraiya's emotion made Daimaru's heart skip a beat.
The birth of the air combat force...that is, the "air force" with actual combat capabilities crushed the ancient ninja army tactics to the point where not even a scrap was left.
The various "Maginot Lines" are completely worthless in front of the flying ninjas whizzing by.
The air combat force is not a supplement to the ground ninja army, but may become the mainstream of tactics in the ninja world.
While the major nations and ninja villages were still considering how to form their own ninja villages to resist the invasion of Suna ninja, Jiraiya realized a problem that almost no one had thought about.
Ground wars are generally maintained in two-dimensional and three-dimensional air battles. There is basically no danger to defend. What determines success is flight speed, climbing height, flexibility and strike strength. There is no defense at all.
Ninjas are originally a profession with high attack and low defense. Mortal bodies have mastered unparalleled killing skills. The mortality rate in ninja wars has always been quite high.
Even a sage like Jiraiya is basically hopeless if his head is broken or his heart is pierced.
But for thousands of years, the ninjas who have been fighting endlessly have finally summed up some effective tactics, supplemented by countless magical secret techniques, and the teams made up for each other's shortcomings, and finally had basic defensive tactics.
But how to defend the air combat troops?
From the beginning, this is a purely offensive ninja, and the advantage of winning first will be huge.
After all, this is still a very mobile ninja. It is not a machine driven by fossil fuels and made of metal, so it is not that fragile.
But it's still not as rigid as a ground war. What will it look like in the end?
The Suna Ninja's sneak attack burned the Leaf Village to ashes. The Konoha Village knew that it could not withstand it, so they simply sent out their own air combat troops. Even if they could not compare with the Suna Ninja's flying ninja formations, as long as they could avoid the Suna Ninja's tracking and drive straight in, Sunagakure Village could also be razed to the ground.
