Chapter 422 Roaring sound from the front line

There were three to four thousand Koninja who marched to the front line with great courage and high spirits. It can be said that this already accounts for more than half of the strength of Koyakure Village today. In the previous battle, Koyakure Village was certainly the victor. One party, but it also paid a heavy price. Hundreds of people died in the battle, and the number of injured people was multiplied several times.

Naturally, those with minor injuries can return to active service, but those with serious injuries or even disabilities will most likely have to give up their identity as ninjas.

This is the biggest helplessness of the small and medium-sized ninja villages. Compared with the five major countries, their background is really far behind.

This is why Menma obviously has the best strength and has high-end combat partners such as Yu Gao, Fu, Suigetsu, etc., but he also wants to do everything possible to strengthen the power of the ninjas below, because Menma is not from the Akatsuki organization. Nagato, not only Madara and Obito who only want to realize the moon plan, he wants a harmonious world with a truly complete system, which determines that Menma must have a large number of reliable subordinates. A mere commander, or just an elite group of a few people, will not work.

This world is very big, even bigger than the blue star Menma lived in in his previous life. Even if Menma is a god, he can't really take care of everything.

Various new weapons, especially chakra armor that doubles the defense capabilities, have always been an important focus of Menma's series of ninja village governance. Menma doesn't know why Kakashi in the original book is in the Land of Snow. They did not pay attention to chakra armor, and did not bring this technology back to Konoha for improvement.

But Menma himself will never ignore any reforms and innovations in military technology.

In this battle, as Menma said before, in addition to the air combat troops also need to be tempered and integrated, and cannot be easily exposed.

Menma ordered the remaining series of brand-new equipment to be taken out for a walk, including the newly formed puppet army. Although the puppets obtained from the moon had not yet had time to be disassembled and analyzed, which one should definitely be There is no attempt to obtain the more important extraterrestrial meteorites.

But this time the actual combat is the best data acquisition channel.

Menmadu has ordered the leaders of each unit to monitor the battlefield usage of any piece of equipment in real time.

Menma even sent some scientific researchers to the front line to conduct on-the-spot inspections, which was the most effective way to collect information.

As for whether it will be a big deal.

It's just a Kirigakure village, so there's really no need to be too afraid. Although Menma himself won't be able to fight, the people leading the united battle are Menma's most trusted and powerful beings. Yugao, Muzan, and Suigetsu will all participate in the battle.

If the previous battle laid the foundation for the rise of the Hidden Village, then in this battle, Menma wanted to further declare the hegemony of their Hidden Village and show their most powerful side.

"Whoosh"

In the eastern region, there is still a circular defense surrounding the huge fortress group established before.

And in the southern region.

After receiving Menma's highest order, Wuwei left some necessary ninjas to guard outside Sunagakure Village in the west.

The remaining troops also marched to the plain area closest to the Kawakuni. Unlike other large and small countries, many of the routes between large and small countries are relatively narrow areas. The gap between the Kawakuni and the Kawakuni is It is rare to have a large area of vast plains, which is why Menma did not invest much capital in building corresponding strongholds here.

It's really not necessary.

There are too many points to guard against.

The costs incurred are completely out of proportion to the possible strategic value.

It would be better to just let it go completely, and there may be unexpected gains.

And that was when Wuwei, commanding this group of light ninjas, arrived at the front line and set up camp directly on the spot.

"Wow!"

On the southeastern coast of the Kingdom of Sichuan, ships one after another, at least medium-sized or above, appeared within the sight of those on the shore.

The sign that I saw was unique to Kirigakure Village.

"Whoosh"

And before they even docked, there were already hundreds of fog ninja figures jumping off the ship and running straight towards them.

It happened that the soldiers of the Kingdom of Kawa who were guarding the shore defense line changed their expressions the moment they saw this scene. After the initial daze, all of them changed their expressions.

This is a ninja, and the notorious Mist ninja.

"Sir? What should we do?"

In this coastal stronghold.

A young soldier looked tremblingly at the middle-aged man in armor who had just walked out from inside. He was obviously the middle-aged man in charge of the military commander at this stronghold and asked.

"What should I do? Don't do anything. Are ninja matters something we can handle? Temporarily close the stronghold. Starting today, all patrols as specified in the regulations will be cancelled. No one is allowed to leave the stronghold without my order!"

The middle-aged man snorted and said angrily.

As the person in charge of coastal defense who was born into a minor aristocrat in the Kingdom of Kawawa, he understands the horror of ninjas better than the average person. Even though the high-level dignitaries and nobles of various governments seem to criticize the ninjas with disdain, They know best what kind of power ninjas possess.

To say that the world has changed is indeed an exaggeration.

But there is still nothing to shake the world.

This middle-aged man was lucky enough to see a monster hundreds of times larger than a human being in Sand Hidden Village eject a hurricane-like wave from its mouth when he was young, directly destroying a village.

Later he found out that it was the so-called tailed beast.

It is the ultimate terrifying existence in the world of ninjas.

It also started from that day.

Only then did he understand that the gap between ordinary people and ninjas was like a chasm that could never be crossed.

"yes!"

The soldiers below also nodded quickly and responded the moment they heard their superiors' orders.

They were traveling on the water, and the speed of each one was far beyond what these soldiers could understand.

They don't want to have anything to do with such an existence.

There's no telling if any of the aftermath of the battle could easily take them away.

"Kaede, send a report immediately and send the news of the Mist Ninja's landing back to the capital. Let's see what orders the ministers, the others, or the daimyo have."

The middle-aged man turned to look at a green-haired boy on one side and said softly.

In such a special world.

It's not just ninjas who have to go to the battlefield at a young age. In ordinary armies, there are also teenagers aged 11 or 12. Don't think that this world is only about battles between ninjas. Ordinary fights between countries also exist. Otherwise, how did the kingdom of the psychic lizards that Menma obtained perished?

Was the territory of the five major countries so large from the beginning?

Not just by annexing small countries one by one.

The existence of the army is still necessary.

And as long as they are well-trained elites, equipped with crossbows, and some ordinary cannons, spears and other weapons, it is still difficult for ordinary genin to break through. Even if they are not careful, there is a high probability that they will die at the hands of the army. inside.

You can truly ignore the army.

Ninjas are useless even if they are piled up in numbers.

At least they were all jonin who had mastered mass destruction.

Based on this.

In the selection of soldiers, various countries still do not consider too many. After all, they are gray animals. The aristocratic grandfathers will not worry about the affairs of these people below. They can just give them a mouthful of food and a little military pay.

This also makes it easy for young men to appear in the army, especially in difficult border areas.

"Yes, Lord Uesugi."

The green-haired boy also straightened his body, replied loudly, and immediately trotted towards the inside of the stronghold.

The middle-aged man was left alone standing at the forefront of this coastal defense stronghold, looking at the mist ninjas who landed one after another, his pupils showing a trace of emotion mixed with a trace of fear.

If there is any choice.

He wanted to stay away from here immediately.

Who knows if a battle between ninjas will break out soon.

With just such a small distance, it seems very safe.

But the aftermath of the ninja battle is likely to spread in minutes.

It's a pity that he is a military attache with noble background and it is impossible for him to leave his garrison post.

‘What a fucked up world. ’

Ninja battle.

A world that ordinary people cannot participate in.

Even after receiving the message from the coastal defense soldiers, none of the noble men in the capital showed even the slightest bit of special emotion. They were all used to it anyway.

The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Kawa even directly ordered that all areas where the city is not located are free for the Mist ninjas to roam. This is also a common scene in the ninja world.

Except for the five major countries, it is impossible to enter easily.

Other countries have no so-called territorial sovereignty at all.

Again, let these ninjas fight, and they will go back after the fight. No matter how bloody or tragic it is outside, as long as it does not affect the enjoyment of the nobles, they will not care.

The life and death of the people at the bottom have nothing to do with them! ?

Those people were just untouchables in the eyes of the nobles.

And this is also one of the greatest sorrows in this world, and it is also a scene that can be seen in many worlds, many eras, and any dimension.

Meat eaters despise

This is considered to be an understatement.

The common people are always the ones who are sacrificed, but this time it is the turn of the people of the Kingdom of Sichuan.

The government is inactive or incapable of action.

When the Mist Ninjas entered the territory of the Kawa Country, they felt as if they were returning to their own home.

This kind of large-scale march.

An atmosphere of fear called the threat of war was also released in the Kingdom of Sichuan, and it was rapidly spreading across the country.

There have been countless examples in the past few decades of what the fate of a small country that becomes a ninja village fighting between big countries will be.

But the vast majority of these people can only face everything passively with panic. They have no means to resist. Even if they have the ability to escape, not many people can have it. If they leave their hometown and still want to live, then This is not something that can be achieved with just a few words.

Not many people pay attention to the suffering of these people at the bottom.

At this moment, the eyes of the high-level people in the ninja villages of various countries were all focused on the broad border between the Country of Grass and the Country of Sichuan.

Because, it's just less than five days.

There are already five or six thousand ninjas gathered here, among which there are only less than two thousand light ninjas, while the number of mist ninjas is still expanding.

Ever since Konoha rejected the request of the Hidden Mist Village with a not very harsh attitude and sent more forces to support the southeast area.

The marching route of the Mist Ninjas has changed dramatically, and they no longer insist on attacking the area where the former Takigakure Village is located directly from the Land of Fire.

Instead, they sailed westward, made a big circle, passed through the Land of Tea, landed in the Land of Rivers, and headed north all the way.

While doubling the distance.

The Mist Ninja Corps sent here will also be caught in the pincer attack of the three major ninja villages, which is not a very wise choice.

But it is precisely because of this that other ninja villages can see the firm attitude of the Hidden Mist Village more clearly.

It is said that the last and most prestigious elder of the Hidden Mist Village, the Yuanshi, is also on the way.

The posture of the Hidden Mist Village was as if it had lost its mind, and it was going to throw all its strength out. It was either you die or I die.

And they didn't even wait for the arrival of the follow-up main force.

Almost at the moment when the more than 3,000 vanguard troops arrived, the Mist Ninjas took the lead in launching the first wave of attacks on the Light Ninjas stationed in the front-line camp.

The Mist Ninjas scattered in all directions.

Like locusts, they invaded densely.

"Bang!"

"Water Style!"

"Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang!"

"Water Style!"

"Earth Style!"

"Wind Style!"

The roars that were directly resounding in all directions were either the battle between ninjutsu or the mutual slashing between ninja tools.

The war started almost immediately.

It was also because of the threat of the tailed beast.

The Mist Ninjas did not move in groups at the beginning.

They were divided into small groups of at most a hundred people to attack purposefully, and their target was the reconnaissance and garrison strongholds set up on the key roads of the Hidden Light Village.

Before the subsequent large forces arrived, their goal was to avoid fighting with the tailed beast Jinchuriki of the Hidden Light Village, while eliminating as many of the Hidden Light Village's living forces as possible, and compressing the strategic maneuvering space of the Hidden Light Ninjas.

This was the combat order issued by the "Master".

Ordinary Mist Ninjas had almost unconditional faith in the Master, not to mention that there were a large number of senior ninjas in important positions who helped them. These Mist Ninjas who were fighting hard at the moment might never know that their superior, the Master they respected very much, had already been replaced by an inhuman monster.

Their so-called fighting for the village and for themselves was just a big joke.
