Escape From Konoha Chapter 594

  Chapter 594 Infiltrating

  Fort Fortress, inside a temporary meeting place built with tents.

  After obtaining the front-line battle reports of Konoha and Iwagakure, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa called all the Sagakushi jonin resident in the fortress to start a jonin meeting.

  The atmosphere was serious and dull, a total of more than 30 jounin, kept summoning the Konoha and Iwagakure battle report handed down from Luo Sha.

  After reading these two battle reports, Sagakushi Jōnin had a gloomy expression and frowned, as if he couldn't believe that these two battle reports were the results of Konoha and Iwagakure, both of the Great Ninja Village.

  The front of the battle report said that everything was going well. Konoha successfully pulled out a fortress in the east of the Bear Country. Iwagakushi's blasting troops sneaked into the Bear Country area and blew up the railway connecting the Bear Country to the Oni Country. As a result, a large amount of resources and troops from the Ghost Country headquarters could not be concentrated in the Bear Country in a short time, creating a favorable opportunity for Konoha to annihilate the war.

   Afterwards, Yan Yin led the troops to directly attack the eastern part of the Demon Country.

  Sand Yin attacked the Oni Country forces from the southwest.

  Respectively for Konoha to contain the main forces on both sides of the kingdom of ghosts.

   As a result, the remaining forces of the ghost country in the bear country will inevitably drop sharply, and the support troops will not be able to arrive in time.

  Then, in the territory they conceived, the lost northwest land of the Kingdom of Wind will be quickly regained under the iron heel of Shayin.

  All areas of the Bear Country will be occupied by Konoha and will be built as long-term supply points, starting a long tug-of-war with the Ghost Country from the east.

  In the end, Kirigakure attacked the west coast of the Oni Nation from the sea, landed from there, and further consumed the main force of the Oni Nation in the coastal area.

  The four ninja villages each restrain a main force of the kingdom of ghosts.

   After successfully restraining all the main forces of the Ghost Kingdom, the internal area where the strength of the Ghost Kingdom belongs will be unprecedentedly vacant.

  At that time, all the countries will gather all the elite Jōnin teams with high mobility to lurk in the territory of the ghost country, further destroying their traffic arteries, further delaying their support and combat readiness supplies, and even completely paralyzing the support system of the ghost country.

  It should be such a good situation.

   But what is the situation now?

  Konoha did successfully pull down a stronghold in the eastern part of the Bear Country, and Iwagakushi also blew up the railway connecting the Bear Country to the Oni Country, cutting off the support from the Oni Country, and providing Konoha with a good assault environment.

  However, what happened next surprised the sand-knowledge senior ninjas.

  The 3,000-strong rearward support force was attacked by an eleven-man squad from the Ghost Kingdom. Six hundred and twenty-seven people died on the spot, 106 people were missing, 131 people were seriously injured, and more than 400 people were slightly injured... nearly half of the casualties.

  Finally, as the enemy's eleven-man team, they retreated unscathed.

   Is this a support force or a rescue force?

   Is the position of support and rescue reversed?

  Konoha's battle report is still like this, and the battle report from Iwagakure is not optimistic.

  After successfully pulling out the stronghold in the eastern part of the Oni Nation, they encountered a surprise attack by Hinata Ayane and the Oni Nation Mechanized Armored Forces, both of which were 3,000 troops. Although no accurate data was given on casualties, I can guess the difficulty of Iwagakushi between the lines.

  Commander Huang Tu was injured, decided to retreat to the stronghold, and proposed to rethink the countermeasures.

  The current situation is completely different from the blueprint they had conceived in their minds before.

  At the same time, it also conveyed a message to Sha Yin, that is to start a war with the ghost country, and the traditional war mode cannot be used to fight against it.

  Its risky style of play is similar to Yunyin.

  It is to let the main general rush forward at the forefront, appearing in the most dangerous area of ​​the battlefield, so as to disrupt the opponent's formation, and then the large force presses forward.

  Although this will put the main general in danger of narrowly dying, it also really boosts the morale of the subordinate ninjas, making the ninjas who fight with them become brave and fearless, completely suppressing the opponent in terms of morale.

  In general, Konoha and Iwagakure have an advantage in occupying the stronghold.

   But in the field, there was a serious defeat.

  Not only did they misestimate the military power of the ghost country, but they also seriously underestimated the organization and maneuverability of the ghost country ninjas.

  The previous night was raided, and the next day they began to counterattack swiftly, revitalizing the dead bear country.

   Today's Konoha wants to swallow all the ninja troops of the ghost country located in the bear country, but it is already impossible.

   "Everyone, you already understand the battle report from Konoha and Iwagakure, what do you think should be done next?"

  Sitting in front of the conference table, Rasa the Fourth Kazekage, solemnly asked the Jonin for answers, even if it was some pertinent suggestions.

  In this case, if a person breaks through, he must brainstorm and re-draw a feasible and practical strategic plan.

   After all, the war has already started. In order not to let other countries underestimate them, and to regain the homeland of the Kingdom of Wind, they now have to face up to the difficulties.

   "Hyuga Ayane appeared on the Iwagakure battlefield, and now only Chiba Shiraishi and Uchiha Ruri are left to contain..."

   "More than that, Chiba Kazuhime, the daughter of Chiba Shiraishi and Uchiha Ruri, is also a problem. Judging from the battle report given by Konoha, although she has not reached the level of her parents, but no accident, this is also a difficult role. If she is too underestimated, she will also suffer a big loss in her hands."

   "If it's just one person, it's not difficult to contain us with the strength of Sand Yin. I think that although Konoha and Iwagakure lost, they are far from being injured. If we can concentrate our strength next, we can break the deadlock."

   "That's what I said, but the action plan must be modified to a certain extent. I don't know who Chiba Shiraishi or Uchiha Ruri will be in charge of the Southwest. I don't think it is appropriate to act rashly. Only by knowing who the other party's commander is can we prescribe the right medicine."

  Shayin jonin keep expressing their opinions and opinions, seriously thinking about the next strategic layout, offensive route and time, and need to make certain adjustments.

  Because Konoha and Yanyin showed them a **** lesson, at this time, they must not be greedy for success, but need to be steady and steady.

  All the Junin expressed their opinions, and Luo Sha also listened to them, but the suggestions of these people were too messy. Although many solutions were indeed feasible, the operation was difficult and the conditions were too passive.

   "In any case, from now on, the number of personnel in the reconnaissance force will be doubled. No matter whether it is land or air, it must be fully monitored."

  Ghost Kingdom's tactical plan undoubtedly gives people a feeling of unconstrained style.

   Therefore, Luo Sha believes that the reconnaissance of the land and the sky should be increased again, and no corner should be missed.

  What happened to Yinyin Village reminded Luo Sha that he was afraid that the country of ghosts would repeat the old tricks, and he also carried out the so-called 'airdrop' of combat power to Yinsha's camp.

  Luo Sha decided that every time he marched in the future, he must further strengthen the surveillance of the air, and also expand the scope of air reconnaissance, so as to prevent similar "airdrop" incidents from happening to Sha Ying in the same way.

  Although Hyuga Ayane is not known for causing mass destruction, if she is in the current formation, she is enough to disrupt the formation of an army and break it up.

  This was the case against Iwagakure this time. Hinata Ayane cleverly used her superior strength suitable for single-body assault. The main purpose was not to rush into the crowd and cause mass destruction, but to break up Iwagakushi's formation, supplemented by the long-range fire coverage of the mechanized troops of the ghost country, which completely confused Iwagakushi's troops.

   Otherwise, in terms of the speed of annihilating the enemy alone, Luo Sha thinks that her placer gold ninjutsu is better than Hinata Ayane.

  But the deterrence of top ninjas has never been based on causing mass destruction as an absolute standard.

  In Luo Sha's view, as long as Hyuga Ayane, a ninja with a dashing type similar to the Raikage of Yunyin's past, can break into the enemy's formation and create chaos, the deterrent effect will not be lower than the former. It's just that the efficiency of annihilating the enemy is slightly worse, but the deterrent effect is almost the same.

"yes!"

  Received Luo Sha's order, the Sayin shinin are ready to further strengthen the surveillance of land and sky.

   Whether you can get the upper hand in the next confrontation, regardless of this matter, at least you must effectively prevent the enemy's surprise attack, so that you won't be in a hurry.

  Konoha and Iwagakure were caught off guard by such a tactic, and Sagakushi would never follow in his footsteps.

  From this point of view, the Shinobi shinin here are grateful for the "sacrifice" of Konoha and Iwagakure. If it weren't for them, if Sagakure proceeded according to the original plan, they would probably encounter the same situation as Konoha and Iwagakure.

  The meeting was over, and the Shayin jonin left one by one. In the end, only Luo Sha was left sitting in his seat without moving, his expression was lost in thought, he closed his eyes, and began to think hard about how to develop the next countermeasure.

  The eastern part of Bear Country is a fortress occupied by Konoha Ninja.

  Same as the sand ninjas, they are also conducting the jounin meeting on the front line of the battlefield at this time, which is presided over by Nara Shikahisa, the jounin squad leader.

  The personnel of the support troops have been successfully introduced into the fortress, which can be regarded as temporarily calming the inner panic of the support personnel.

  Now there are more than 3,500 Konoha ninjas gathered in the fortress and rooted in nearby camps, of which nearly 200 are seriously injured, while the slightly injured are treated by medical ninjas. They have basically recovered their combat effectiveness and can perform tasks.

   When such news came, the ninjas on the front line couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  Although this kind of news is not good compared to the current situation, it can also be used to make fun of hardships and reduce the pressure on the body a little.

  However, this good mood didn't last long, and there was another bad news, which caused a headache for Konoha's Jōnin, and it was also the main reason for the immediate Jōnin meeting—

  All the patrol teams that went out, and those who were operating on land, all lost contact.

  Even when the air force was out on patrol, or when delivering a message, it was attacked in the air.

   Five people were dispatched, one died, the flying ninja crashed, and charred bodies were found in the snow.

  The two were missing, and only the crashed flying ninja was found, but no body was found. There is a high probability that they have been captured by the kingdom of ghosts.

  The situation of the other two is unknown, no corpses were found, and no signs of the crash of the flying ninja equipment were found. The message may have been conveyed, or it may not have been conveyed.

  In short, Sand Hidden, Rock Hidden, Kiwi Hidden, and the communication with Konoha Headquarters all lost contact.

   So much so that they don't know what happened outside.

  Similarly, it is not clear at all what kind of results Rock Hidden, Sand Hidden, and Kiwi Hidden have achieved so far.

  They were blocked in this snow fortress, unable to advance or retreat.

   "Hai Yi, how is the communication system built?"

   Lu Jiu looked at Hai Yi who was not far away, and asked him about the construction of the communication system.

  hai nodded, and replied: "It has been built, and it can be put into use later. In this way, even the patrol team that is out can get in touch with us at any time."

  The communication system built by the secret arts of the family in the mountains is not built with tools such as radios, but with family secrets.

  This requires multiple hands to prepare, one is a high-level ninja who has learned the secret art of the mountain family, an unknown number of perception-type ninjas, and a stable and huge chakra source to emit and collect signals.

  Because building such a communication system is extremely cumbersome and requires a stable environment, it was barely built until now.

  This kind of communication system has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that it will consume chakra continuously, and it will require a lot of perceptual ninjas to change jobs in shifts, which is laborious.

   But the advantage is that the signal will not be interfered with by the ghost country with tools, and the connection with the outgoing patrol team will be cut off, so you can keep track of the situation of each outgoing team at any time.

  Even if you encounter an ambush, you can send the prepared message to the headquarters as soon as possible.

   This is a very important link for the current Konoha frontline troops.

  Hearing what Hai Yi said, Lu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief.

   In this way, although the patrol team going out will still be ambushed, at least they will not be as ignorant of the outside world as before.

  To be honest, being cut off from the communication channel, you can't see anything, you can't understand anything, it will give people an extremely terrifying sense of dead silence. When and where the danger comes from is unknown.

   This is the most dangerous.

  Now, this danger is being gradually removed, and Konoha's 'eyes' and 'ears' are beginning to regain their sensitivity.

   "Although the communication system has been established, it can only work within this area. The most important thing right now is to get in touch with the outside world, especially the village."

  One came forward with another dilemma.

  Building a communication system in the area can only barely protect itself, get in touch with Konoha further away, and obtain correct information, so as to break through the fog set up by the ghost country, so as not to be passive forever.

  Lu Jiu hummed, and replied with a calm face: "Regarding this matter, Master Jiraiya is already doing it. That is to use the power of Miaomushan."

   "Mt. Miaogi?"

   "That's right. Mt. Myogi has a magical prop called 'Far Body Water', which can allow some small creatures to pass through, greatly shorten the path, and quickly reach the other end from one end. Master Jiraiya carries this kind of prop on his body, and can quickly communicate with Mt. Miaogi, and from Mt. Miaogi to the village."

  Mt. Myogi also set up a long-distance water in Konoha that can be moved remotely. In this way, even if the communication channel on the front line is blocked, Mt. Myogi can be used as a transfer station to obtain information from the village and understand the external situation, so as to formulate countermeasures.

  Hearing Shikaku's explanation, the rest of Konoha Jominin gradually felt at ease.

  The Kingdom of Ghosts has connections with another sacred place, the Wetbone Forest, but it has little to do with Mt. Miaomu, and it is even a bit bad. It is indeed an extremely reliable solution to place the transit intelligence station on Mt. Miaomu.

   Not only is it convenient and quick, but it also avoids the loss of Konoha's own personnel, and can save Konoha's manpower, which can be called killing two birds with one stone.

   "But that's not all I want to say."

  Lu Jiu coughed, signaling for everyone to come back to their senses.

  While waiting for everyone's eyes to focus on him, Lu Jiu's expression became heavy, and there was a hint of caution in his eyes.

   "According to the ambush patrol team of the ghost country and the interception of our communication channels in the air, it can be basically concluded that they plan to build a 'cage'."

   "Cage?"

   All the senior ninjas quiet down.

   "That's right, it's a cage, and it's a cage that surrounds everyone here!"

  As soon as Shikajiu said this, the faces of the jonin changed and they began to think.

   "Mr. Lu Jiu, what's going on here?"

  A senior ninja was puzzled.

   "It's not a complicated strategy. After experiencing the previous ambush, who do you think among Konoha can stop that girl named Chiba Kazuhime?"

   Lu Jiu took a look at everyone.

  The faces of the Junin who arrived later were stiff. They had fought against each other directly on the way here, and they knew the girl's monster-like power.

   To put it bluntly, if a single Sannin faces her alone, I am afraid the ending will be terrible.

   "Let me tell you the truth. With the strength of more than 3,000 of us here, it is not impossible to fight against the ninja troops of the ghost country in the bear country. The premise is that this 'monster' does not show up, but this is just a hypothesis. The other party cannot not make a move. Not only that, she will actively suppress us, bleeding us with a knife, trapping everyone here, cutting off all supplies and information, making us slowly lose the will to fight in the 'loneliness', and die in despair!"

  Lu Jiu said such a cold and cruel fact.

  Junin of Konoha heard a chill down their backs and their bodies went stiff.

  Because they are in the same place, they will also adopt the same strategy to trap the enemy to death.

   "In other words, the situation here is very dangerous?"

   "No, on the contrary, we are safe at the moment."

   Lu Jiu gave a surprising answer.

   "An, safe?"

   "Yes, at least until Konoha suffers heavy losses, we will be safe here. Even if she can break through us, she will not take the initiative to annihilate us, but will only besiege."

  Some Konoha Jominin who came to their senses, their faces darkened, perhaps thinking of some terrible guesses.

  Use them as bait to attract more reinforcements from Konoha, and then... wipe out more of Konoha's living forces!

  Although secretly scolding the other party for doing so, will they kill themselves, but obviously, this is not something they should consider.

   "There are only two options left for us now. One is to break through immediately and completely withdraw from the battlefield of the Kingdom of Bears. But this will cause us heavy losses in an instant, because for the Kingdom of Ghosts, our 'bait' is very important, and we will not let us go easily. After all, it is easy to come in and difficult to get out."

   Lu Jiu sighed.

   "What about the other one?"

   "Wait for the other battlefields to turn around, and increase the pressure on the ghost kingdom in the remaining battlefields."

   But it is a pity that Lu Jiu does not know what is going on in the rest of the battlefield. Their side has been blocked, and a new communication channel has just been established. For the past two days, they can only focus on defense for the time being.

  Even if the other battlefields have achieved good results, they still need a certain amount of time to deal with them, and they need new support from the village.

  Otherwise, it would be somewhat unrealistic to want to conquer the entire bear country with just over 3,000 ninjas here and one Sannin.

  Lu Jiu looked at the flying snow outside the window, lost in thought.

  Late at night.

  The Kingdom of the Wind, Northwest.

  Yellow sand is flying all over the sky, and the cold moonlight is falling, adding a bit of coldness to the night atmosphere.

  As the buzzing sound sounded from the distant sky, the warning whistle immediately rang through the entire fortress.

  The sand ninjas who occupied the fortress began to move out in full armor. A sand ninja manipulating flying ninja equipment rushed into the sky, entangled with another flying ninja troop that appeared in the far sky, and began to bombard.

  There is no doubt that it is the air force of the ghost kingdom that broke the silence of the fortress in the middle of the night.

  A total of thirty ghost country ninjas, controlling flying ninjas, started a surprise attack on the hidden sand position.

  Before reaching the sand hidden position, they were intercepted by sand ninja with the same air force and met in the distant sky.

  The sand ninjas standing on the high wall in full armor can only see the sky in the distance as bright as day under the repeated bombing of bombs, sweeping away the darkness of night.

  With the help of this bright light, the sand ninjas who used binoculars on the high wall looked at the area within sight, a large black spot swarmed like locusts, as if they were integrated with the darkness, and charged at a sand hidden camp in front of the fort at full speed.

  The number is unknown, but the observable number is at least an armed force formed by thousands of ninjas.

   "Master Kazekage!"

  An Anbu flashed up and was about to speak when Luo Sha interrupted:

   "There is no need to report. The 6th, 7th, 14th, 17th, and 21st squadrons in the front camp are ordered to attack with all their strength. In addition, the 8th to 11th squadrons attack from the left flank, and the 22nd to 25th squadrons detour from the right side, and attack with me. The rest of the squadrons stand by and do not act rashly without my instructions."

  Luo Sha methodically gave the order to attack.

  Although he was a little surprised by the surprise attack of the ghost country at this time, as the head of a village, he had no reason to be afraid.

  Now he has already transformed, and he will no longer be defeated by such a blow!

  As Kazekage, now he must lead the sand ninjas to victory!

  The sand ninja troops assembled quickly under his orders.

  The moment the assembly was completed, Luo Sha jumped off the high wall without hesitation, followed by many Anbe jounin, and joined the sand ninjas of the 22nd to 25th squadrons gathered below.

   Kazekage went to the battlefield in person, making the morale of the sand ninjas gathered like a rainbow, and their fighting spirit surged.

   Just as Luo Sha was rushing to the battlefield, a figure suddenly appeared from the distorted air in a dark corner of the fortress without warning.

  He raised his head and heard the sound of orderly footsteps nearby. The sand ninjas in this fortress were fully operational and were defending closely.

  Unfortunately, for him who has the time-space pupil technique, such a defense is not enough to cause him any trouble.

  He recognized the way for a while, and the figure merged with the darkness, and the surrounding space distorted again.

  When it reappeared in the next second, it was already in a dim space.

  In the darkness, the Sharingan covered with complex graphics shone red.

   "Next, let me use you, little panda..."

   After speaking, he stretched out his palm to the person who was still asleep on the bed.
