Naruto Sakaki

Chapter 115 Persistence in Desperate Situation
Konoha seized the opportunity and won the decisive victory in the Battle of Kikyo Mountain very beautifully. Not to be outdone, Sakaki seized the opportunity given by Madara and very beautifully... worked hard to dig the tunnel.

At this time, a month had passed since the Sakaki tree first fell into Madara's hands.

During this month, Sakaki, day and night, with a tenacious spirit of never admitting defeat, relied on the strength of his hands to dig the tunnel that seemed to have no end in sight.

The Sakaki tree was dug down from the underground space, in front of the huge boulder blocking the road.

According to Bai Jue, there is a way out behind this boulder. Since Sakaki has no strength to come to this boulder, it is natural to take a detour from under the boulder.

Sakaki wanted to dig a 'U'-shaped tunnel, bypassing the blockage of the boulder, and go out from the original way out. According to his estimation, it shouldn't take too long, and it would be easy.

Well, in fact, the so-called easy is purely an illusion.

I don't know whether it was because Sakaki was not familiar with underground work and dug in the wrong direction, or because Uchiha Madara played a trick. When he finally dug a 'U'-shaped tunnel and continued to dig upwards vigorously, the so-called The way out has never appeared, and there is still darkness in front of my eyes.

Based on Sakaki's malicious speculation, he believes that this is definitely Madara's ghost. Madara must want to torture him in this way, make him despair, break his back of resistance, and finally make him become a puppet for Madara to realize the Moon Eye plan .

But because of this, Sakaki has no reason to give up. His tunnel digging is no longer just about his own self-help and survival, but a real duel.

It's not a fist-to-body duel, but a duel of will between the two sides. The failure of the will is far more serious than the physical defeat, so Sakaki cannot lose.

— Meow, let’s work hard and keep digging up, even if this is [-] meters underground, as long as we persevere and work hard, one day we will see the free sky above our heads, and we will!

After Sakaki dug out the 'U' shaped tunnel that disappointed him, he continued digging up without too much hesitation.

Of course, even if you don’t have relevant experience, as long as you imagine a little in your mind, you will understand that digging tunnels vertically and horizontally are not the same concept at all, especially for unlucky people like Sakaki who don’t have any digging tools. .

For this reason, Sakaki had to give up a "big" event that was very meaningful to him.

When digging a tunnel, how much space is dug out of the tunnel means how much space will be dug out. The excess soil will be transported to the underground space by the Sakaki tree and piled up.

Then, as long as he repeats and repeats persistently, one day, the entire underground space will be buried by soil, and by the way, Madara will also be buried. That scene must be very interesting.

The Sakaki tree really wanted to keep working like this, but it was a pity that when more tunnels were dug up, the soil dug out would no longer be redundant.

To put it simply, it is assumed that a person with a height of 1.6 meters has dug a tunnel with a height of [-] meters, and then wants to dig a higher tunnel. The question is, can his hands reach it?
The sakaki tree does not have any support frame as a foothold, so soil is needed.

The sakaki tree was digging the tunnel upwards, and he let the soil dug out here fall to his feet. In this way, as the tunnel digs upwards, the ground under his feet will always go down because it is supplemented by the soil that fell from above. rise.

The sakaki tree was dug and dug like this, and a month passed, and there was still no end in sight.

"Damn, this soil is so hard... No, this is not soil anymore, it seems to have dug into the rock layer underground!"

Sakaki clenched his fists and knocked hard on the rock layer. Fortunately, although the rock layer was much harder than the previous soil, it also had a weakness, which was brittle.

Therefore, this is not a hopeless situation. As long as you spend a lot more time than before, you can still overcome the difficulties and continue to dig upward.

Woohoo, more time...means more time than the time contained in "The End Is Far From Seen" before, damn it...

"what!!!"

Sakaki looked up to the sky... No, he was screaming at the deep blackness that had been pressing on his head, this was his way of venting.

The long whistle echoed in the narrow tunnel space, and the echoes in turn stunned Sakaki's ears. Dust and gravel fell in a rustle, and almost fell into his wide-open mouth, but he didn't care about it either. .

"Damn the two Bai Jue, didn't they chase after me all the time before, and the two mouths were very BB? Why didn't they show up after that, anyway, I came here to say a few words with him, I want to thank you The 'Crosstalk' said very interestingly..."

Sakaki shouted, hoping that those two would definitely appear in front of him in the next second, not for other reasons, as long as he could say a few words.

However, what Sakaki can get is still only this deep darkness.

In fact, we can't blame Sakaki for being like this. It's not that his mental quality is not strong enough, but the external environment is too harsh!
Please close your eyes and imagine, with Sakaki's way of digging up the tunnel, what kind of space will he be in all the time?
It is said that if a person is locked in a narrow box, the space can only allow the person to stand upright and turn around, and then there is darkness inside, and there is no other sound outside, and the person will go crazy after a while.

Just thinking about this kind of thing would make one's scalp tingle. This is simply the harshest punishment, extremely cruel!
And Sakaki has been in this torture-like environment ever since he dug the tunnel upwards.

At the foot of the sakaki tree is the soil that keeps rising, and above the head is the earth that seems to never end. The surrounding space is not even enough for him to turn around, and what covers his whole body is almost eternal darkness. The sound made by the soil, almost no external sound can be heard.

Any normal person in this environment would probably go crazy if he couldn't persist for a week, that is, Sakaki, who was still persevering.

After all, Sakaki is a man who has spent thousands of years in the space of the fruit core, just... well, some of the experiences in it, he has never experienced from the space of the fruit core, so that now he has tasted another kind of experience. The tormented taste.

Regardless of the small size of the fruit core, the space of the fruit core is extremely vast to the soul of the Sakaki tree. The biggest torment inside comes from the stagnation of time, as if all the bad things have become eternal and will not change.

But here is different, he can feel the passage of time here, but he almost feels desperate for the space here.

Fortunately, he doesn't have claustrophobia, otherwise he would have gone crazy, but Sakaki feels that if he has been in this forever small tunnel space, without claustrophobia, he will have to hold back this disease sooner or later!
It was the first time in Sakaki's life that he felt regret. Although there was only a trace, it was still unbelievable.

If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have dug a tunnel at a stretch. Of course, it is absolutely correct not to succumb to Madara, and it is also correct to save myself, but it shouldn't be based on digging a tunnel, which has something completely unexpected' Terrible' way.

For a moment, Sakaki really thought about going back. After all, this terrible environment was indeed too uncomfortable. Fortunately, the thick soil under his feet stopped him silently but resolutely.

——Hey, instead of digging back down so funny that you will inevitably be 'laughed' by Madara in the end, you might as well make up your mind and keep digging up.Keep the original intention, and don't believe that there is no end above.

Then, the sakaki tree was meowing again, digging day and night for more than a month.

……

Bellflower Mountain.

At this moment, it is Konoha who has won the decisive battle.

Every Konoha ninja has the joy of defeating a powerful enemy, but at the same time, the pain that the cruel war will inevitably bring them is indispensable.

Almost every Konoha ninja participated in the work of collecting the corpses of their companions, while silently mourning for them in their hearts.

Among the group of turquoise figures, there are also a small number of dark gray figures that are particularly abrupt.

They are sand hermit ninjas, but they are not fish that slipped through the net on the battlefield, nor did they come to participate in the battle. They came to collect the corpses of their dead companions.

Many Konoha ninjas were immersed in the death of their companions and couldn't help themselves. When they saw the living Sagan ninja appear, they couldn't help but want to kill each other.

And those sand hermit ninjas were placed in the vast Konoha army, and they did not show any weakness at all, holding kunai ready to fight to the death at any time.

But in the end, the two sides didn't fight again, they just looked at each other with hatred, but they didn't interfere with each other's recovery of their companion's corpse.

This is the respect that Konoha gives to Sa Yin, if this respect is not willing to be given to Sa Yin, then the two sides will have no choice but to die.

However, it is definitely not a situation that any high-ranking Konoha who still maintains reason would like to see.

It is true that in the decisive battle on Kikyo Mountain, Konoha won a complete victory, and Sand Yin was indeed defeated without a doubt.

But for this, Konoha also paid a very heavy price. Nearly [-]% of the combat power was either dead or injured. Even if those wounded were all treated and survived, at least in a short period of time, these people could not be reborn. Join the fight.

If it wasn't for this level of loss, how could Danzo's aggressive hawkish character not take advantage of this big victory to pursue Sand Hidden, and it's best to go all the way into Sand Hidden Village, Directly annexed the hidden sand.

The incomparable fighting will of the sand hidden ninja gave the Konoha senior management a deep shock. The question of how much it would cost to eliminate sand hidden, no one dared to think about it.

For Konoha, the most practical thing is how to force Sand Yin to seek peace, or at least let Sand Yin withdraw from the war, and how much more it will cost to do so.

Next, Konoha still has a long way to go before the final victory!
……

In the Land of Winds, in an oasis town quite a distance from Kikyo Mountain.

At this moment, this oasis town has become a large barracks. Countless sand ninjas who escaped from the front line of Kikyo Mountain were collected by the high-level officials of sand hidden, and they gathered here in panic.

Even Konoha, who won a big victory, suffered heavy losses, so how miserable would it be for Sain to reap a fiasco?
Sha Yin initially counted the losses, and found that the entire Sha Yin attacked with [-]% of its combat power before, but at this moment, only [-]% of its combat power is left, which means that [-]% of the entire Sha Yin's combat power has been permanently lost in this battle. In fiasco.

If [-]% of the combat power is converted into a specific number of people lost, it is an astonishing number that the entire Sand Yin cannot accept.

After a fiasco of this level, even Yi Sha Yin's strength was almost broken.

The specific manifestation is that the issue that Sha Yin's top management is most concerned about at the moment is not how to deal with the bad situation that has emerged after this fiasco, but to find someone who should be responsible for this failure.

At this time, Luo Sha hastily took over as Fengying, and the evil consequences of unresolved prestige were fully revealed. There is no more suitable blame man than him.

The former doves would naturally jump out to criticize Luo Sha, and the neutral faction also believed that Luo Sha was very responsible for this defeat. I got rid of my doubts and thought that he might not be suitable to be Kazekage anymore.

It can be seen that the internal changes that Konoha had hoped for due to the disastrous defeat in Sand Hidden are about to become a reality.

Available in a high-level plenary meeting.

Many people in Shayin's senior management still accused Luo Sha, and even involved the issue of Fengying's status, but Luo Sha had no room to refute this, and it seemed that he should do his part to become the blame man.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Grandma Chiyo slapped the table fiercely with her hands. You must know that a pair of sensitive hands is extremely important for a puppeteer. Usually, it is too late to take care of your hands carefully. How can you do something like slapping the table with your hands that will cause damage to your opponent? , it can only be said that she was extremely angry.

"You people, all you know is to pursue responsibility. What's the point? The most important question now is how to deal with the current bad situation?!"

Seeing that Chiyo's mother-in-law was angry, those high-level officials in Shayin could only stop the siege of Luosha, but no one could offer useful and constructive suggestions.

"Luo Sha, you are Kazekage, what do you say about that?"

Facing Grandma Qiandai's direct questioning, Luo Sha raised his head to look at her, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything, and immediately lowered his head again, his face full of pain, as if he was still immersed in the pain of the previous fiasco. unable to extricate themselves.

Grandma Chiyo was even angrier, but in the end she sighed deeply, shook her head in great disappointment, and left the meeting room, leaving only one sentence.

"If all of you are no longer able to bear the glorious responsibility of making the great village of Shayin continue to move forward, then let me, the old woman, bear it. The old woman has no hesitation..."
