Konoha's New Third Hokage

Chapter 300 Rock Hidden Defense Line
The Country of Grass, located between Fire and Earth, is an unlucky country. Although it has a ninja village as its own military force, compared with the two neighboring countries, it is neither strong enough to be called a demigod. Or, there is no tailed beast as a strategic weapon, which is doomed to the status of the country of grass.

Since the end of the Warring States Period, the Country of Grass has been adhering to the principle of harmonious diplomacy, interacting with neighboring powers, and relying on honed diplomatic means, it can always get the intention of other countries at the first time, and change according to the other country's ideas. own national policy in order to survive.

In the first ninja war that year, because the two countries of earth and fire were military alliances, the country of grass was very lucky to be a country that was not affected by the flames of war.In order to curry favor with the great powers, they supplied domestic food, grass and weapons to the two parties. They behaved very submissively. After the war, they did not receive any harsh treatment.

But now, the Country of Grass will no longer have such luck. The reason is very simple. The two countries that were military alliances in the past are now facing each other as enemies.After more than [-] years of peace, the Country of Grass has finally been unable to stay out of it, and must consider its own position, which will determine its future.

In the court of the Kingdom of Grass, the daimyo gathered all the ministers to discuss how the Kingdom of Grass should deal with itself.First of all, the most basic point is that it is impossible for the country of grass to really intervene in the struggle of any big country. The country of grass is too weak. No matter which country wins in the end, the country that is the loser can also learn a lesson." A country of grass that aids the tyrants and abuses".

As the Country of Grass that is best at dealing with other countries, I can clearly perceive the small actions of the third generation of Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Ninja Village in private. This old fox is very cunning. It's not a good choice to be missed by him, but the other side is equally irresistible.

The Land of Fire, or Konoha Ninja Village, has always insisted on just war, and will never show mercy to those countries that take aggressive actions or those who help the evildoers.Even if it is due to national strategic reasons, it is impossible to kill them all. Those big countries that were defeated before the Fire Nation were also restricted, and their lives were not very comfortable. For more than [-] years, the Fire Nation and other The disparity in the strength of the country is getting bigger and bigger, which is the impact of the treaty concluded after the end of the first ninja world war.

Regardless of whether the Kingdom of Fire ends up losing or winning, even if they can't teach the Land of Earth the invader, they can't teach the Country of Grass who is helping the evildoers?Or should we expect the Land of Earth to come forward to protect them, the ministers of the Land of Grass feel that this seems a bit unrealistic.

Judging from the current situation, the Kingdom of Grass is not human at both ends. No matter where it falls, the final outcome will not be very good, and the best choice is obviously not to help either, but it cannot make the other party feel that it is their own. dishonesty.

"Everyone, do you have any good solutions?" The name of the country of grass is very anxious, because at this time the army of the country of earth is coming mightily, and within a day, it will approach the border of the country of grass. Now the time left for them is getting less and less, but the ministers in front of them still can't discuss a result.

When the daimyo of the country of grass became more and more impatient, the ministers seemed to have reached a consensus, and the most respected minister came forward to report to the daimyo of the country of grass: "Your Highness, according to the results of the discussions between the ministers and others, I feel that we should pretend to be defeated and send The territory of the battle is given to the two countries of fire and earth. In this way, from the perspective of the country of fire, we have already done our best, but because of insufficient strength, we are unable to turn back, which can be regarded as an explanation. On the side of the country, as long as they can feel that we are retreating on purpose, they will understand the country's intentions, and presumably they will not hold His Highness accountable."

Daimyo of the Country of Grass heard the words, thought for a moment, and then nodded. This method sounds good, although it is somewhat biased towards the country of the soil.Konoha Ninja Village has always cherished its reputation. Even if it realizes that the Country of Grass is deliberately retreating, it is impossible to take any measures on the bright side. If it comes secretly, it has to consider the impact on its reputation after being exposed. On the other side of the country, Yanyin Ninja Village, which has tasted the sweetness, is not very good at teaching the Country of Grass. Although there are hidden dangers in Konoha Ninja Village, it may be the best solution after careful calculation.

In the final analysis, everything is because the country of grass is too weak, and the upper class is full of top and bottom people. It can neither fall firmly to Konoha Ninja Village like the country of rain, nor can it prevent other countries from falling apart like the country of Taki. Dare to get involved easily.Although, this is because the former has Hanzo presiding over it, and the latter has a tailed beast.

Therefore, the Daimyo of the Country of Grass quickly sent orders to the guards in the border towns. In order to make the performance more realistic, and fearing that the acting skills of those samurai would not be good, he also asked the ninjas of the Country of Grass to assist, and to use the ninja As the leader, this will of course lead to conflicts between the samurai and the ninja, but there is no way.

After receiving the order from the capital, the soldiers on the front line were a little confused. The capital demanded that they lose, and that they should lose beautifully, but they could not make outsiders look like they were retreating on purpose. This was a test for the warriors. quality.Although it was conceivable that the ninjas were better at deceiving than they were, the samurai officers on the front line were still upset. It was not always a pleasant thing to be stepped on by a ninja.

Of course, what should be done still has to be done. The capital promised that no one will be held accountable even if they are defeated. There will be some superficial punishment for other countries, but there will be compensation, so even if the samurai officers are very annoying Commanded by a ninja, but can only choose to endure.

Soon after, the army of the country of earth has rushed to the border of the country of grass, and the ninja troops of the ninja village of Yanyin ninja are the vanguard. When using Earth Dun together, they can exert a powerful power to change the terrain. Therefore, Earth Dun is the most suitable escape technique for dealing with city walls besides Thunder Dun.

According to the original plan of Yanyin Ninja Village, it is to sneak into the vicinity of the border town and use the earth to open up a road. Some people will attack and kill the ninjas or samurai officers in the town, while the other part of the Yanyin ninja The samurai of the country of earth were brought in and suppressed forcibly.

During the first Ninja World War, Iwagakure Ninja Village was very proficient at playing this set, which played a very important role in cracking the towns of the Land of Thunder, allowing Konoha Ninja to avoid the energy required to attack the city , now it is the turn of the country of grass to taste this set of tactics.

When the reconnaissance team was exploring the way forward, they captured the ninjas from the Country of Grass. At first, they didn't think there was any problem. After all, before the war started, the reconnaissance ninjas of the two sides competed with each other. They originally planned to torture the information, but unexpectedly The other party recruited directly, saying that he was cooperating on behalf of the country of grass.

Now that the reconnaissance ninja couldn't make his own decisions, he took the captured Kusakashi ninja back, explained the content of their cooperation, and after sorting it out, sent it to Henghe, the commander of the Iwagakure ninja unit. After reading the request from the Country of Grass, he couldn't help but smile.

"Heh, I thought it was strange at first, why is the country of grass so stubborn, and didn't give any answer to the conditions given by the village. I thought they were like those guys in the country of rain, and they fell to Konoha unswervingly. What about Ninja Village." Henghe sneered, "Now it seems that the Country of Grass is still the Country of Grass, and it is always a vacillating grass, so why can't they support us openly?"

"My lord, do you think the Kingdom of Grass is sincere?" asked the adjutant beside him.

"Maybe, maybe not." Henghe didn't make a judgment immediately. As a ninja, he certainly understands that deception is an important skill that this profession needs. If the other party says something, he will believe it. Sooner or later It will be a disadvantage, "Let someone go to interrogate the captives, let go of one person and pass back our intentions, if they are really sincere, they will agree to our conditions, um, let the ninja investigate and make sure Condition."

With Henghe's order, the meaning of Yanyin Ninja Village was sent back to the border town. If the army of the country of grass is really willing to hand over the town, it will show an attitude of obedience. Of course, as a condition for cooperation, Yanyin Ninja will try to Attack aggressively to ensure that the army of the country of grass is "defeated" and leaves.

Naturally, the troops in the border towns did not dare to refuse, so they quickly responded and started to act according to the requirements of Yanyin Ninja Village. The place.The conclusion drawn by Yanyin Ninja Village's interrogation of Kusanagi ninja is the same as before. In addition to the conclusions drawn by the actions of the Grass Country army and the reconnaissance of the ninjas, Henghe finally confirmed the sincerity of the Grass Country.

"Since this is the case, we have to reciprocate. We can't let the Konoha ninjas find out that they are giving us the town, right?" Henghe said while ordering the Yanyin ninja to use the earth escape towards the town, which is different from the expected target. The purpose of the second Tudun is to rebuild.

The towns and forts that also play a defensive role, the residents of the country of earth have their own adaptations, so the towns of the country of grass have to be rebuilt to a certain extent.Of course, in the eyes of others, the Yanyin ninjas are destroying the town. In fact, they just remove the places they don't like, and keep the places that can be used.

Henghe felt a burst of relief. If there is a strong attack, it may destroy some places. Now that the town can be peacefully obtained, it can be rebuilt to the maximum extent.Although the Earth Dungeon is very suitable for construction, it also needs a foundation that can support it. The earth wall built without a foundation will soon collapse, and it would be a waste of time for Yanyin Ninja to get the foundation by himself .

Just as the Yanyin ninjas were demolishing the wall, the samurai army of the country of earth rushed into the city, and the army of the country of grass in the city took up their weapons in a "panic" to contend with the enemy, but they were powerless to resist. When the battle was defeated, except for some people who escaped from the town, the rest were either captured or "dead in battle".

Therefore, the soldiers of the Land of Earth won the defense line of the town here without bloodshed, and were able to enter it. Looking at the inner city that was hardly destroyed, Heng He nodded slightly. Since the Land of Grass has such an attitude, then they Konoha Ninja Village is the only enemy left. With the secret cooperation of the Country of Grass, Yanyin Ninja Village can also gain a certain advantage.

"Okay, let's see us show our talents." Heng He said with a smile.

In the following days, the army of the Kingdom of Grass had almost no decent record against the army of the Kingdom of Earth. More and more land was occupied by the Kingdom of Earth, and on the occupied land, the Yanyin ninjas began to Building their fortifications, especially the country of grass without any resistance and interference, they built it very easily, and soon built a dense and fortified defense fortress, connected with the original town of the country of grass, like impregnable barrier.

As for those captured warriors from the Country of Grass, Yanyin Ninja Village returned them in the form of transactions, and exchanged a large amount of supplies from the Country of Grass, which can be considered as a surplus value.

Under such circumstances, when Konoha Ninja Troops arrived, Iwagakure Ninja Village had already built a solid line of defense in the Country of Grass. Fortunately, the Country of Grass did not dare to go too far, and a certain stalemate and see-saw is still necessary Yes, even so, Yanyin Ninja Village has established a huge advantage.

Just like the "rock" in the village's name, Yanyin Ninja Village is slowly advancing with this steady tactic, backed by a solid line of defense, while resisting the opponent's attack, while looking for the enemy's flaws, Then wait for the opportunity to slowly consume the enemy's strength.

The Konoha ninjas couldn't help but be surprised when they got the current situation of Iwagakure Ninja Village. Although some people think that there are some problems in the response of the country of grass, the current situation is obviously too late to care about this, but should consider how to face it. For Yanyin Ninja Village, facing today's strong defense line, ordinary combat methods cannot break through.

"The advance speed of Iwagakure Ninja Village is not too fast or slow, but they cannot be allowed to go on like this. It is necessary to hit their morale and stop their pace." Said Inuzuka Shigeru, the commander of the No. [-] Ninja Troop. The members of the Hui team have a stable temperament, but they fight with the wildness inherited from the family.His strength is not the strongest in the No. [-] ninja unit. The older one is Uchiha Setsuna, and the younger one is Hatake Sakumo. However, considering the comprehensive consideration of experience and strength, he is the strongest. The right candidate, after all, those two people, the former is Uchiha mirror who is worried that he will act recklessly again, and the latter is not experienced enough in the face of war. In addition, Masaki Fengmori trusts him, so he was entrusted with important tasks to come here .
