Escape From Konoha Chapter 789

  Chapter 789 Dominated Battlefield

  October 12th, three o'clock in the afternoon.

  In the well-lit sky, a silver-gray shadow suddenly descended, and the sunlight kept shining on the reflective surface of the body. They were flying ninjas controlled by humans, soaring freely in the sky at a high speed.

  The fuselage is too small, but it is constructed of the most precise parts, so that the fuselage, which looks not much bigger than a human adult, not only represents the most powerful military industrial capability in the current ninja world, but also means that the fighting mode of the ninja world has undergone drastic changes.

  In past wars, people focused on land and sea disputes. However, when flying ninja equipment comes out on a large scale, the sky is no longer safe. Once the air supremacy is lost, it means that one's own fighters will be completely manipulated by the enemy.

  This special ninja tool with high mobility, strong destructive power, and air supremacy, if it cannot be restrained from the same field, it will be extremely deadly to any ninja army.

   The same is true.

  The importance of flying ninja equipment and air supremacy is nothing new in today's era.

   But the only one that can achieve the ultimate in this aspect is the ghost country with the most industrial capabilities.

  Rows of silver-gray flying ninjas engraved with the imprint of aster flowers flew over the sky. Unlike the previous flying ninjas, the flying ninjas used by this air force are equipped with delicate silver-gray pipes on both sides of the body. The width is about thicker than the arm of an adult man.

  In such barrels, a special bomb with a conical head is inlaid respectively. Under the sunlight, the conical section shines with a frightening cold light, which makes people feel uneasy.

  The special bomb that looks extremely lethal was carried by this air force.

  The size of the troops is as many as 500 people, which means that there are more than 1,000 such special bombs.

   This army crossed mountains and ridges, easily passed through forests and mountains, and came to a deserted land.

  But according to the report of the perception ninja, there are a lot of chakra reactions here, and its strength can reflect that this is the amount of chakra that only ninjas can reach.

  However, there is no one in the wilderness. It seems that there are only stones and weeds piled up randomly on this wilderness.

   Such a sense of contradiction undoubtedly points to another possibility—the enemy is hiding underground.

   This is also a matter of course. Although the Baijue troops that were defeated on land may not be able to use their brains, the people who command them are not fools. They realize that fighting on land and in the sky will completely fall into the rhythm of the ghost kingdom.

   Therefore, in such a critical situation, the Baijue troops drilled into the ground in a unified way to contain the main force of the ghost kingdom, which is also the most suitable tactic at the moment.

  The countermeasures are like this—

   Phew!

  The sharp piercing sound overwhelmed the buzzing sound of the aircraft flying past.

   Bombs with conical heads are fired from cannon barrels on the wings.

  The whole body is wrapped in black alloy. It looks like an underwater torpedo used by a battleship, but it is thrown from the sky to the ground, as if it is a specially developed 'underground torpedo' for underground enemies.

  Boom!

  The dull sound passed, and the conical head easily pierced through the ground, digging gravel all the way, penetrating the solid and thick rock formation, and reaching into the dark stratum.

  Boom!

   An even more shocking explosion erupted from the drilled hole.

  The fierce fire, mixed with the strong impact of high temperature, erupted from the ground, as if to shake the whole earth, and the loud sound of the shock almost deafened people's ears.

  With the end of the first bang, more bombs penetrated straight into the depths of the ground, shattering the natural protective layer of the earth.

  For a moment, the burst of flames and shock waves became one, as if a sea of ​​flames descended on the earth.

  Even in the impact of these flames rushing towards the sky, a large number of Bai Jue who had been blown into the sky and turned into corpses could be seen.

   However, this is just the beginning.

   After firing the shells, this air force also swallowed and was horrified by the destructive power of this special ground-penetrating bomb before leaving quickly.

   Immediately afterwards, another piece of machine shadow descended.

  The second 500-man air force descended like an angel of death.

   Just like the same, the second time of baptism was carried out on the already festering earth.

   Then came the third branch, also with 500 people.

  The area of ​​several kilometers was occupied by the sea of ​​fire, and the earth could not be seen. The sun above the head was also covered by dark clouds, and the entire area was dark.

  Only the faint sound of the flying ninjas shuttling, and the crazy roar of the bomb resounding through the sky, were still continuously carrying out saturated coverage strikes on the land.

  Perhaps it was because they knew about the ghost country's terrorist methods, and soon, a group of hundreds of Bai Jue driving flying ninjas came to support them, wanting to contain them and buy time for the Bai Jue below to escape.

   This is not a war at all, but a one-sided massacre without mercy.

  Although they are also at a disadvantage in the battle with the alliance army, at least in some places, they can bite the footsteps of the alliance army and let them think about countermeasures to buy time. Even if the Union Army makes mistakes in some places, they can still counterattack.

  However, in the face of the rich-style saturated coverage attack of the Ghost Kingdom, those powerful ground-penetrating bombs were dropped into the sky like dumplings. Not to mention the 20,000 Baijue stationed in the Bird Kingdom, even if there were another 100,000, as long as the opponent brought enough shells, they would be slaughtered sooner or later.

   And the other party hasn't lost any staff yet, what they lost is just a bunch of bombs made of broken copper and iron.

  Although Bai Jue's life is not his life, he can't die worthlessly in this kind of place.

   Just when this Baijue air force was about to arrive on the battlefield, a thunderbolt as thick as a bucket fell from the higher sky without warning, hitting a flying ninja in flight.

  Boom!

  The body exploded in an instant, involving that Bai Jue and killing him immediately.

  The Baijues immediately raised their heads and looked at the enemy appearing above.

   It was a giant black monster made of half flesh and half machine. The steel wings extending from both sides were neatly arranged like pieces of blades, shining with a cold metallic luster.

  The black beast was surrounded by dazzling blue lightning, especially the thick and long horn on top of its head, which kept accumulating the power of thunder, and a menacing aura rushed towards its face, instantly deterring the Baijue army.

  Not only that, but on the back of the black beast that controls the thunder, there is also a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a red and white maiden costume. In the inorganic pupils, there are ripples spreading out, revealing an indifferent divine light.

  The girl in the priestess costume held out her hands, and the violent hurricane condensed in her white palms.

  Chick!

  The sound of splitting the air sounded.

  Two air blades shot out instantly, piercing through the bodies of the two Bai Jue.

  The two Baijue and the flying ninja made of steel were cut in half, annihilated in the explosion, and scattered a pile of charred meat with black smoke, and the remaining parts of the flying ninja, and quickly fell to the ground.

   "All of you stay, you can't let go of one person, this is my old man's order."

  After the black beast at the feet of the witch—Leiming Wan, said these words, those white beasts moved in response and rushed to kill them one after another.

   It is impossible to stop the massacre of the ghost country's air force, but no matter what, the two generals of the opponent must be beheaded.

  If this can be done, the sacrifices of all their 'brothers' before are worth it.

   "I really don't cry when I see the coffin, sister Tianyu, let's do it together."

  Lei Mingwan left a lightning shadow on the spot, like a body the size of a giant gate in a city fortress, it flashed tens of meters away, a single-horned thunder light bloomed on its head, shooting out dozens of buckets of thick thunder light, hitting Bai Jue who was too late to guard against.

  Tian Yunu also nodded silently, her body floated incomparably lightly, and at the same time she left Lei Mingwan's back, air blades were fired from her palm, aiming at the area in front, in conjunction with Lei Mingwan's Thunder Dun, to carry out a saturated wind attack.

  Under the dark sky, flying ninjas began to explode, or fell to the ground that had been burned by the sea of ​​fire, turning into fly ash.

  Today's night may come earlier than usual.

  Yuyin, a high tower.

  Nagato stared at the 'video' Hei Zee brought back from the front.

  This is Heijue's ability, which can project what he sees using the pupil technique. Having such an intuitive video recording capability is helpful for obtaining intelligence details.

  However, in this video, it seems that even if the details are paid attention to, there seems to be nothing to do.

   Like a group of flying ninjas descending from silver gray clouds, each group has a size of 500 people.

  An air force of this size, within an hour, carried out four bombings against the country of birds, and almost re-turned the rock and soil of the great wasteland of the country of birds several times. It also means that the kingdom of ghosts has dispatched four air forces with a size of 500 people.

  The size of their air force is at least 2,000 people.

   Nagato doesn't know exactly how many there are, but it's definitely more than 2,000 people, that's for sure.

   Facing the repeated bombing by the ghost country's air force, Bai Jue was powerless to fight back.

  Even if they drill into the ground tens of meters deep, they will be wiped out by the ground-penetrating bombs they project unless they drill deeper into the ground.

   But in that case, Bai Jue's troops could only shrink back, and it was impossible to fight back.

  The entire front of the country of birds will also be completely defeated.

   No, it is almost close to a total defeat now.

   Of the 20,000 Baijue who invested in the Kingdom of Birds, one-third of them have been killed or injured. This happened within less than a day after the war started.

  If this continues, on the third day, the kingdom of birds will fall into the hands of the kingdom of ghosts, and the kingdom of rain will also lose its frontmost barrier, burning the flames of war to the base camp area.

   This time came faster than Nagato expected.

   According to his calculations at the beginning, no matter how bad the Baijue army is, there are still 20,000 people, and there is no problem at all supporting it for a month.

  Then the battle was delayed until winter, and Baijue, who ignored the harsh environment, and the ninja troops affected by the severe winter cold, increased and decreased their combat effectiveness, and could recover some disadvantages.

  Nagato saw the sea of ​​flames appearing on the Great Wasteland. Don't want to see this scene. He also knows that the Baijue troops there have all been wiped out, and there is no possibility of a second result.

  The tactics adopted by the Kingdom of Ghosts have always been to kill the enemy's vital forces, and the siege of the city is only one of the incidental results of their victory.

  This tactic can give the enemy fear and deterrence in the most violent way, and it can also make a big country unable to recover within a few years or even ten years.

  Nagato looked at the video projection of Hei Ze, and gently rubbed his brows, as if he felt extremely headache from the scene in front of him.

  This level of firepower can still be mass-produced and saturated strikes have exceeded his expectations.

  If it's ninjutsu, maybe there is a way to crack it, or even find a loophole or something, but he doesn't know anything about industry. Not to mention, as long as the system is still there, the kingdom of ghosts can continue to produce such powerful bombs. Moreover, it is likely that there is more than one type.

  Once caught in this kind of saturated blow, even a tailed beast would find it difficult to confront head-on. Although the tail beast cannot be killed, it can definitely make the tail beast suffer.

   "Let me go, if this continues, the front of the Bird Kingdom will be completely defeated in three days."

   Konan saw Nagato's headache at this time, so he volunteered to go to the battlefield of Bird Country.

   "No, even if you fall into that kind of rhythm, accidents will happen. At present, the country of ghosts is undoubtedly the most powerful in terms of air control capabilities of all countries."

  Nagato shook his head, rejecting Konan's request to go to the Bird Country front.

  Thousands of Bai Jue, under such a saturation blow, have already been defeated, and the feat was accomplished in less than an hour.

  This kind of blow is hard for even Xiaonan to sustain.

   "Moreover, Chiba Shiraishi's avatar also appeared on the battlefield. That guy really threw out a hand of this level casually and bombarded us indiscriminately. If this is a slap in the face, it's a bit too much."

   Nagato saw the combination of Miko and Black Beast in the projection, and recognized that it was Shiraishi's Fenglei avatar.

  These two avatars have strong air dominance capabilities, and in terms of freedom, to a certain extent, they make up for the weakness of the ghost country's air force.

  The air force of the ghost country is carrying out fire strikes, and these two clones are only escorting these air forces to ensure that their firepower can cover the theater smoothly and the formation will not be disturbed by the enemy.

   It can be said that facing this powerful combination of the sky, unless Xiaozhong, the leader himself, does it himself, no matter who passes by, he will only passively accept the attack.

   "The troops in the country of birds should be able to last for a while, let's deal with the alliance army first, and don't let them come in to fish in troubled waters."

   Nagato said so.

   "Are you giving up resisting the ghost kingdom?"

   Xiaonan frowned.

  Hei definitely seemed to want to understand something.

   "Does Nagato-sama mean to slow down the advance speed of the alliance army, thereby forcing the country of ghosts to stop the offensive?"

  Nagato glanced at Hei Ze, and nodded.

  "That's right, the side that first invades the Land of Rain will face all the pressure from Akatsuki. Chiba Shiraishi will not let the alliance army sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight, unless he wants to fight with me to lose both sides and benefit the alliance army. Although he claims to be an alliance, the interests of the representatives of the Ghost Kingdom and the Alliance Army are not the same. If that happens, the Alliance Army will definitely throw stones at the Ghost Kingdom."

   Therefore, as long as the alliance army's advance is restrained backhanded, the Kingdom of Ghosts will consider whether it will be beneficial to the Kingdom of Ghosts to directly attack the Kingdom of Rain after sweeping the front lines of the Kingdom of Birds. As long as you think about it, you will come to the conclusion that directly attacking Akatsuki in the Land of Rain will only cause huge losses to one's own side, but will benefit the alliance army.

   Of course, there is another possibility.

   That is, the kingdom of ghosts entered the kingdom of rain at the fastest speed, summoned all the ninjas with high-end combat power, and used the method of blitzkrieg to raid the hidden rain village with lightning speed, wipe out the entire Xiao, get Xiao's six-headed and tailed beasts, use them, and then counterattack the alliance army.

   This possibility also exists, although it is very low, but the vigilance cannot be discarded.

  Grass country front is driven by the alliance army, and the advancement process is not very ideal.

  Under the tactical countermeasures of the Allied Army Staff Department, Darui, the captain of the First Squadron, followed his order to select the general Tudun ninjas from the Squadron to resist the suicide attack of self-explosion. In addition, it also got the support of some squadrons of the 2nd and 3rd Wings who were good at Tudun.

  However, when advancing the front line in the afternoon, many squadrons still suffered heavy blows. Some squadron leaders were injured, and some of the entire squadron had very little left, which resulted in the cancellation of the squadron number and being incorporated into the remaining squadrons.

   Facing these artificial soldiers, even if a ninja is killed or injured, Darui, as the captain of the alliance, will feel distressed for a long time.

  Xiao's death was just a group of heartless man-made monsters, while what died on their side was a living person. The life value of the two is not at the same level.

  Even in the eyes of the leaders of the Alliance Army Headquarters, the same is true. It is not worth dying for such a man-made monster. However, at this point in the battle, sacrifices are inevitable. As the captain of the first wing, Darui can only tell himself that he must lead the way in every battle, so that he can save some people from dying.

   After all, as long as he, the captain, is careful, he can escape from the blast zone before he blew himself up and committed suicide.

  In the northern part of the Country of Grass, on the line where the fortress is located, there are rows of piers made of earthen bunkers, on which security personnel are stationed.

   In addition, there are several squadron-sized ninjas, broken up into pieces, patrolling the area near the fortress to prevent Baijue from attacking.

  When the setting sun sinks into the horizon, the land is dyed red by the light of the setting sun, while the other half is smeared with black, gradually entering the night.

  On a pier supported by an earth cave, Darui and several squadron leaders stood here, looking at the hilly area in front of them, a wild jungle in the distance, and then mountains and ravines.

  Although it was only the first day of the war, there was already a little tiredness on the faces of everyone.

  Bai Jue's suicide attack has left a deep impression on them, and they can't let it go.

  Two battles today, the first wing suffered close to a thousand casualties, and in the brightly lit camp behind, the wailing has never stopped since the war.

   "According to the investigation results of the reconnaissance team, the Baijue army seems to be planning to abandon the land and build a military construction site underground. It seems that they plan to fight us for a long time."

   Qiudao Dingzuo squinted at the red and black sky in front of him, and spoke slowly.

   "In this case, they must be dug out from the ground. I remember that there is such a technique in the joint attack earth dungeon that Yanyin is good at?"

  Darui looked at one of the squadron leaders, Jonin, from Yanyin Village.

  The other party wears a forehead protector with the word 'forbearance' on his forehead, which means that he is now a member of the Alliance Army.

   "There is indeed such an earth escape technique. However, those military construction sites are relatively far apart, and the branches are also very scattered. It will take time to dig them out from the ground."

  The squadron leader of Iwagakure replied.

   "Even so, we can only do this, other than that, there is no better way."

   Darui said in a deep voice.

  Squadron Captain Yanyin had no choice but to nod, as a consent.

   At this moment, a Chunin from the Alliance Army with a communication device flashed over.

   "Captain Darui, there is a message from the ghost country."

   "The country of ghosts?"

  Darui was slightly taken aback when he heard the news.

  The rest of the squadron leaders are also stunned, isn't it news from the headquarters?

   The Zhongnin liaison officer nodded and said: "That's right, it's the contact letter from the Ghost Kingdom. They hope that we will withdraw all members of the reconnaissance team from the front theater before sunrise tomorrow, otherwise they will not be responsible for any accidents."

   "What do you mean? What are they going to do?"

  Darui's face was even more confused, and he was baffled by the communication from the ghost country, and he didn't understand why.

  So, Darui looked at the others, and the other squadron leaders also looked blank, not knowing what the Kingdom of Ghosts was trying to do with this message.

  Although Darui felt baffled by the message from the Kingdom of Ghosts, he still cautiously withdrew the reconnaissance troops ahead and asked the headquarters for verification.

  However, the answer given by the headquarters of the Alliance Army was completely ignorant, and it had not been notified about the Kingdom of Ghosts.

  Amid such doubts, Darui stayed up all night, and guarded the night with more than a dozen squadron leaders to avoid accidents.

   In this way, after a long dark night, the white belly of the eastern sky was exposed. Darui was about to be unable to hold on, and when he was already yawning, a buzzing sound broke the silence of this area.

  Darui, Ding Zuo and the others suddenly trembled and looked up at the sky.

  Hundreds of manned flying ninjas, like a silver-gray cloud, slowly magnified in everyone's field of vision.

  However, this air force, which does not belong to the Union Army, did not rush towards the Union Army Fortress, but rushed to the area directly in front of the Fortress.

   There is no one on the surface, but the ground is densely covered with military construction sites made by Bai Jue. It is not an exaggeration to call it a minefield.

  A reconnaissance unit passed by there before. Of the seven people in the past, only one escaped desperately, but also died of serious injuries.

   It is conceivable that that area is dangerous.

   "This is the air force of the ghost country, right? What are they going to do?"

   Darui asked.

   "Could it be that you want to drop bombs and attack the underground military construction site?"

   Ding Zuo was at a loss.

   It's not that they haven't considered this tactic, but considering the current bomb power, it's not enough to penetrate the ground, so it's far less effective than earth escape ninjutsu.

   In this way, only the ground is saturated and hit, and there is no threat to the Baijue underground.

  Darui and the others glanced at each other, their figures flickered, and they led several squadrons to check the situation, wanting to confirm something.

   Just as they acted, a flying ninja began to drop the first bomb.

  Like a sharpened metal pencil, rushing towards the earth like a meteor.

  Boom!

  The moment the dust flew, the air froze for a few seconds, and then a burst of flames sprayed into the sky, and then there was a deafening impact, which viciously beat the eardrums of Darui and the others who were rushing forward, causing their hearts to vibrate violently along with the ground.

   Without stopping, one bomb after another, sharpened like a metal pencil, roared densely and rushed to the ground, cracking rocks and digging the earth, and penetrated deep into the ground.

  A series of flames began to burst, carrying sand and roaring towards the sky.

   Then, the air force circled at an astonishingly high speed, throwing down the second ground-penetrating projectile on the wing.

  The scene of bombing the earth makes people feel that the world is shaking.

  The reddish-brown soil kept turning outwards, and then was swallowed by the flames, turning into pitch-black coke with hot smoke.

  These explosive bombs not only bring shock waves that are extremely strong enough to shatter the human body, but also release high temperatures, consuming oxygen in the area and even underground, making people deadly.

  Countless Bai Jue began to give up hiding, some hid deeper, some were disturbed in their sense of direction, and fled to the ground in confusion, with a dazed and demented face, completely unaware of what happened.

  So, just about to take a breath of turbid air, the explosion blew everything away, causing them to soar up in the fire.

  The impact of the explosion was still reverberating in the sky and the earth, and the hearing of Darui and others was completely dominated by the sound of the explosion.

  Like those Bai Jue who suffered from the bombing, his face was full of dementia, and then he looked at the ghost country air force that was dominating the earth from the sky, and his dementia turned into a long silence.

  The rock and soil did not stop falling, and the flames soared into the sky one after another.

  After this army finished using the bombs, the second army came one after another, not intending to give Bai Jue a chance to breathe, and carried out the second round of repeated bombing, going deeper into the ground, and wiped out Bai Jue in the area.

   "This time's war...is it a ninja battle?"

   Darui raised this question.

  Seeing this scene, it was the first time that his concept of ninja was so vague, his expression and pupils became numb and questioned, doubting himself and the world.

   "Although it is unbelievable, this time it is indeed a ninja world war."

   Ding Zuo solemnly answered Darui's question.

  Looking at the shattered ground ahead and the corpses of Bai Jue all over the ground, I couldn't believe it, it just happened in an instant.

   "It's all nonsense. It makes me feel like the ninjutsu I've been practicing for 20 years has become worthless."

   For the first time, Darui felt disgusted with this so-called industrial heat weapon.

  A troop of hundreds of people fired a pile of broken copper and iron, blasting the entire land to pieces, cutting off the vitality of the entire area.

  Things like this are simply mocking the posture of ninjas working hard to practice, how ridiculous and pitiful it is.
