Konoha's New Third Hokage

Chapter 279 Battle of the Land of Rain ([-])

Although both parties had participated in the first ninja war, it was the first time Uchiha mirror and Hanzo met, and Uchiha mirror basically got information about this person from his friends.From the moment they really met, Uchiha mirror realized the great strength of this person. Hanzo's eyes were extremely sharp, his breathing was steady, and he looked ordinary, but a person with his strength could feel the opponent's every step. into a dangerous atmosphere.

"I've heard of you for a long time, Hanzo." Uchiha Kagami said politely. At this time, both parties were in the tents at the border stronghold, which was the place where the commanders of Konoha Ninja Village and Ukakure Ninja Village met for the first time.

"I have also admired your name for a long time. You were the one who prevented the invasion of the Land of Winds back then, and this time you served as the commander, which gave people a lot of confidence." Hanzo said with a smile, and his impression of Uchiha Kagami was very strong in his heart. Well, this person is not the same as the rumored Uchiha people in the past.

"The last time was the last time, and this time is this time. They cannot be confused. I think you should have received the information sent and know how difficult the enemy army is." And self-conceit, even if there is, after a period of time in the war with the country of the wind, it will disappear.

Hanzo's expression became slightly serious. He had indeed read the information sent by Konoha Ninja Village. Although it was unexpected, it was reasonable for Sagan Ninja Village to be so desperate.Ask yourself, if Ugakure Ninja Village is also facing the same situation as the opponent, then Hanzo may also adopt such a fighting method. As the saying goes, the brave wins when meeting on a narrow road. When one's own strength is insufficient, one can only rely on courage to open a way Come.

"I already know where the enemy's strength is. What good strategy does Konoha Ninja Village have for this?" Hanzo asked.

"Just a few days ago, I got the latest order from the village. Since we are going to fight side by side, I think you should know too." Saying that, Uchiha mirror gave the village's order document to Hanzo, asking him to carefully take a look.

Hanzo read it quickly, not missing a single word. After reading the entire combat strategy, he was very surprised. Konoha Ninja Village actually formulated such a combat strategy, which makes people feel extremely cruel. hot.Over the years, the good impression of Konoha Ninja Village has made people forget its sharpness, and this combat policy seems to make people understand that Konoha Ninja Village is by no means a good man on the surface, and is willing to be friends with Konoha Ninja Village Yes, that will naturally be respected, and as the enemy of Konoha Ninja Village——

During the first ninja war, no one could see it. After all, Konoha at that time was not very harsh on the treaties of the four countries, even the losers of the land of wind and water. .But now, as Konoha Ninja Village has become the head of the Five Great Ninja Villages, it also seems to have the energy to leave an indelible memory on those organizations that try to challenge its authority.

Hanzo was once again thankful that he did not choose to become the enemy of Konoha Ninja Village. If Konoha Ninja Village did the same to the Land of Rain, then the Land of Rain would be doomed.Thinking about it this way, Bessa’s crimes became more and more serious back then. Fortunately, the chaos was rectified in time. Otherwise, the Land of Rain would not have a good life now. The import of minerals and business cooperation has fed a large number of people. It is hard to imagine what the Congress of Rain will look like if it follows Bessa's policy.

"According to this strategic policy, we have to achieve a high exchange rate in the battle with the sand hidden ninja, but it is not so easy to do." Hanzo said, "This is not like the country of Sichuan, there is no one who can rely on to defend for a long time. town fort."

The country of Chuanzhi is a country without a ninja village. It has been the target of the two countries of wind and fire since the past. Later, Konoha Ninja Village became the winner by relying on its own reputation and preferential conditions.Under the instruction of Konoha Ninja Village, Chuanuo Country built a strong fortress, which is called to protect the security of the country without a ninja village. It was dealing with the Kingdom of the Wind, but after all, it was the autonomous action of the Kingdom of Kawa, and there was no evidence that it was behind the manipulation of Konoha Ninja Village—although Sand Yin Ninja Village could guess it—so it had to be let alone.

But the situation in the Land of Rain is different. It is only a few years away from the opening of the country. Even if the financial situation is improved, nearly half of it is invested in people's livelihood, and the rest is in the internal reform of Yuyin Ninja Village. As for building fortresses, the Kingdom of Rain is intentional but powerless.

"That's right, so our Hokage-sama also said in the document, don't just confine yourself to defensive battles, the focus is on how to consume the opponent's vital strength and maintain a high exchange ratio." Uchiha mirror pointed to the content on the document and said: " And the key to all this has to fall on you, Hanzo."

"Me?" Hanzo was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, that's what Hokage-sama said." Uchiha Kagami nodded. This was what Masaki Kazemori said before he took his followers out. At that time, the Kingdom of the Wind had not entered the Kingdom of Rain, but Mori Masaki said that he can cooperate well with the Land of Rain to defeat the Land of Wind together. If there is a battlefield to enter the Land of Rain, he will rely more on Hanzo, not Konoha Ninja himself.

Uchiha mirror thinks that he said this because Hanzo has lived in the land of rain all year round, and every plant and tree here is very familiar, and the enemy is fighting away, and it will be very disadvantageous to face the rain hidden ninja village who is fighting at home.This is indeed the reason. Masaki Kazemori believes in Hanzo's ability to fight in his home field. You must know that Hanzo is a man who can protect the entire Land of Rain under the siege of wind, fire, and earth.

"That's really appreciated by Hokage-sama." Hanzo smiled, and he was very surprised. The other party seemed to have expected that the enemy would enter the Land of Rain, and he himself was not confident that he would be able to protect the Land of Rain. At times, that man is where the confidence comes from, and it can be assumed that he will be the key to solving the problem.

Although he couldn't figure it out, Hanzo felt eager to try. To be honest, Hanzo was very confident in his own strength. Even if he was not in the Ninja Village of Amamere, but in the Five Great Ninja Villages, he must be at the forefront. Jonin, maybe he can compete for the position of shadow.

Even in the face of the five major ninja villages, Hanzo felt that he could not be manipulated by them. Although the strength of the Amane ninja village was not very good, if he led it, he might still be able to compete with a certain ninja village. Time to contend—Of course, he didn't know that in the history of later generations, he faced the attacks of three countries and persisted until the end of the Second Ninja World War, and he could still allow the Land of Rain to have its independent status.

Therefore, Uchiha Kagami and Hanzo briefly discussed the next combat strategy, because they did not know the clear movement of the enemy, so they focused on intelligence collection first, and for the defense of the border, the Amane Ninja determined the important position. Konoha Ninja Village is an important protection force.

After the discussion was over, the two left the camp and went to tell the ninjas under their own names that Uchiha knew that his daughter was also in the country of rain, so he would definitely come here.He inquired about where the Konoha Ninja from the Land of Rain was stationed, and then walked there.

When he came to the camp, Uchiha Mirror immediately heard the voice of his daughter, including the voice of his friend's daughter Asuna.Just when he was about to go in, he happened to see Sakumo Hatake walking from the side. The latter saw him and said in surprise: "Master Kagami."

When the people in the camp heard this sentence, they immediately ran out, threw themselves into Uchiha mirror's arms, and said in surprise, "Father!"

The person who ran out was of course Uchiha Kagami’s daughter Ruixi, and Uchiha Kagami hadn’t seen her daughter for several years. Over the years, she has stayed in the Land of Rain, helping Konoha Ninja Village to gradually make the Land of Rain become prosperous and strong And struggling, which made Uchiha Mirror feel distressed, but also very proud.

After all, my daughter is a ninja. Since she chooses this profession, she should not be pampered like a noble girl, but should shoulder the responsibilities that a ninja should have.Although I haven't seen Ruixi in these years, Uchiha mirror often learns about her daughter's performance from the report sent by the rain country. Among all Konoha ninjas, Ruixi's performance is also among the best, which is enough to prove that she is A qualified ninja.

To be able to bear the pressure from all sides and complete the tasks received from the village in such a harsh environment as the country of rain, for a girl, isn't this a model of ninja representing "endurance"?
"Long time no see, Ruixi." Uchiha mirror was excited, looking at the face of her daughter whom she had not seen for many years, her brows and eyes had grown since she was almost an adult, and she looked more and more like her mother, no longer the innocent and youthful appearance she used to be , but a slim young girl who knows suffering, as a father, I feel sincere joy.

"Long time no see, Uncle Kagami." Asuna who was following behind greeted Uchiha Kagami, and she hadn't seen this uncle who often came home to chat and drink with his father for a long time.

"Well, you have grown up too, Asuna." Uchiha mirror nodded with a smile, feeling that Asuna's face is becoming more and more like Satomi, but her expression and temperament are closer to Kazemori Masaki. She is more like her mother in character.

After all, Ruixi is already a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, so it is impossible for her to stay in her father's arms like she did when she was a child. This time was only caused by her emotions. She quickly calmed down, broke away from her father's arms, and looked up at him. .

Compared with myself, my father didn't seem to have changed much. His appearance was the same as before, but there were some faint wrinkles between his brows. As a high-ranking member of Konoha Ninja Village, he was also the owner of Uchiha and the captain of the security team. The pressure on Bo Jing has always been very high. With a sense of responsibility, he almost never slack off. Fortunately, he is in good health and will not age prematurely.

"Master Kagami, are you here this time?" Hatake Sakumo asked after seeing the scene where the father and daughter met.

"It's nothing. I just came to see you this time. Well, the only thing I want to tell you is to be careful in the next war. The enemy is more powerful than you think." Uchiha mirror said .

"I've read the report, and the sand ninjas seem to have come here with the mentality of burying jade rather than shattering it, and the price of a frontal battle seems to be very high." Hatake Sakumo said.

"Yeah, so the meaning of the village is that we can't carry out such a battle, and instead consume the opponent, mainly with a high exchange ratio." Uchiha mirror nodded slightly, and said: "The specific method has not been developed yet, after all, We don't know the enemy's movements yet, and we will tell you when the intelligence is collected."

"I understand." Hatake Sakumo nodded and agreed.

"By the way, Mizuki and Asuna are both in your class." Uchiha Kagami glanced at Hatake Sakumo and said.

"Yes, is there something wrong?" Hatake Sakumo couldn't help asking after hearing the words.

"There's nothing wrong with it. I'm very relieved to follow you." Uchiha mirror smiled. He watched Hatake Sakumo grow up step by step. In the first joint chunin exam, he beat all the others. , showing extraordinary strength. After these years of practice, the strength must be even more amazing.

If it wasn't during the war, Uchiha mirror would like to try how strong Hatake Sakumo is, but he has other things to do now, so he can only extinguish this idea.He thought for a while, and said to the three people in front of him: "Listen well, our strategic policy is to consume the opponent as much as possible while preserving our own vitality. Therefore, when receiving orders, you must not act presumptuously." Although there is no specific policy yet, it is definitely not like samurai charging at each other, but more like ninjas, unless there is a special order, you must never fight the enemy head-on, understand?"

The three of them nodded slightly, Sakumo Hatake already knew it well, and after hearing what Sakumo Hatake said just now, Asuna and Mizuki knew exactly what the Sand Ginger Ninja was like now, and if they had nothing to do with such an opponent Think about it, if you just hit hard, you might get yourself involved, so it's better to be cautious.

Seeing this, Uchiha Mirror didn't have anything to say, he just said to pay attention to rest, and then started busy with his own affairs. As a commander, he needs to care about a lot of things.And not long after Konoha Ninja came to the Land of Rain, the troops of Sand Yin Ninja Village also arrived. The large army stopped not far from the border, and its intelligence ninjas had already secretly acted. The dilemma encountered in the country of Kawa will not be repeated.
