Konoha's New Third Hokage

Chapter 305 A Completely Different Battlefield

Even if the detonators have all lost their effect and the continuous explosion suppression has disappeared, it does not mean that the situation of the Yanyin Ninja has improved, or it has indeed improved, but it is not much better.Because, in order to annihilate the detonators on the ground, the Iwagakure ninjas, including Shima, consumed a large amount of chakra, and it would be difficult to recover for a while. At this time, the Konoha ninjas in good condition were approaching.

From the beginning of the battle until now, the Konoha ninjas of the frontal combat troops have hardly lost any physical strength. They only need to send the rune bullets into the detonator, and then manipulate the detonator to launch it. There is nothing simpler and easier than this task You know, the Konoha ninja who was in charge of the two-wing assault had already suffered a lot of casualties, and the rest of them also lost a lot of chakra.

With the participation of these new forces, the Yanyin ninjas will face different pressures from the detonators. In the face of the detonators that are constantly projected, they only need to bury their heads to build the rock wall.However, Konoha ninjas don't just use such a single-board fighting method. They use squads as the basic unit and rush to the front line, climbing up or collapsing or crumbling rock walls one after another, and rushing towards the rock hidden ninja who is staying behind .

Because the actions of the Konoha ninjas are more complicated, the Iwagakure ninjas can't just repeat the task of building walls on a single board. However, because of the previous continuous monotonous tasks, the reactions of the Iwagakure ninjas seem a little slow, and the loss of physical strength also makes them They can't make tactics that they have practiced countless times in the past.

The only thing that can be thankful is that because of the continuous bombardment of the detonating guns, there are collapsed rock walls all around, making the terrain here high and low, ups and downs, which gives the Yanyin ninjas a chance to breathe, and they can use this Terrain, relying on earth escape to sneak dodge or meet the enemy, but the pressure on the enemy is not very great.

Zhimo recovered from the joy of destroying the detonator, realized the current situation, and hurriedly issued an order to let the Yanyin ninjas shrink their defenses again, concentrate their forces, and stick to their positions. At the same time, they abandoned the fort strongholds established in the wild , concentrated in the rebuilt towns.

With the current situation, it is impossible for the Iwagakure Ninja to defeat the enemy in the wild. Instead of fighting the Konoha Ninja here, it is better to return to the town as soon as possible. There are not only enough material reserves, but also a strong enough defense barrier. It is much more complicated than the simple fortress built in the field, even if it faces the detonator again, it will not be helpless to fight back.

Although it seems that he is still giving in, Zhimo feels that this is the best way to preserve the vitality of the troops. Counting his achievements in destroying the detonator, he will not be given a very serious punishment. At that time, he can still make up for his mistakes. With the new troops challenge Konoha Ninja Village again.

In the ensuing battle, the Yanyin ninjas retreated while fighting, using the chaotic terrain formed by the collapsed rock wall to greatly reduce their own casualties.Before they withdrew, they also used Earth Dungeon to set up a large number of obstacles to block the Konoha ninja's pursuit. As long as they had a certain amount of time, they could use the retreat route they had set in advance to return to the town stronghold.

When the Konoha ninja cleared the roadblocks that got in the way, the Iwagakure ninjas had long since disappeared, and the sensory ninjas did not find any traces of the enemy. After confirming that there was a town stronghold rebuilt by the Iwagakure ninjas not far away, the commander-in-chief decided to stop To move forward is mainly to consolidate the territory that is currently being advanced.After all, all the detonators have been broken now, and without such a convenient weapon for attacking the city, Konoha Ninja has no confidence that they can easily break through the town, not to mention that the headquarters stronghold did not order them to break through the town.

In fact, even if all the detonators were lost, this Konoha ninja unit was considered to have completed the mission in full.Almost all of the Yanyin field defense lines they were in charge of were cleared. Although I don't know the situation in other places, judging from the performance of the Yanyin ninjas today, other places will not be much better.In other words, the Yanyin field defense line in this area has been wiped out, and the rest are town strongholds, which is equivalent to soldiers approaching the city.

It seems that Konoha Ninja has a great advantage and has achieved brilliant results. However, the face of each Konoha Ninja is not very optimistic.When cleaning up the battlefield, they deliberately counted the battle damage. Although Konoha Ninja's losses were less than those of the opponent, the Iwagakure Ninja's casualties were not many.

The reason for this is that the Iwagakure ninja greatly reduces their own losses by virtue of their flexibility in dealing with complex terrain. Except for those who were surprised by the detonation gun at the beginning, plus those who confronted the Konoha ninja head-on, the remaining Iwagakure ninjas The loss is really pitiful, and the relatively large number of corpses all belong to the samurai army of the Land of Earth.

For the current ninja village, the threat of the samurai army is far less than in the past. Looking at the corpses of these samurai from the land of land, it is just a feeling that the era of the samurai seems to be completely over soon. Other than that, there is no extra sentimentality.

"It's really tragic." Asuna stood beside a collapsed rock wall, watching Konoha ninja who was in charge of cleaning up and cleaning up the corpses below, dragging out the corpses below. The corpses that were bombed were mutilated and bloodstained everywhere.

This is the first time Asuna has seen such a terrifying corpse. In the past battles, all the corpses she saw were basically intact, but the battle with Iwagakure Ninja Village was completely different. The battlefield of the country is completely different, another level of battle.

Asuna suddenly felt a little sick. She didn't regret killing these enemies, because they attempted to invade her country and destroy her hometown. Just for this, she deserved to die.However, the tragic death of these people still caused Asuna's psychological discomfort. She turned her head vigorously, but the images of those people still emerged in her mind.

At this time, Asuna recalled the former Iwagakure ninja who could use the earthen spear. His death was also very miserable, but what Asuna cared more about was that the obsession he showed before he died was by no means just a completion. I didn't understand the belief in the task before, but now, Asuna vaguely feels that she seems to have grasped the other party's thoughts.

If his companion died in such a miserable appearance, and it was caused by the enemy on the opposite side, then he might get hotheaded and rush to avenge him, even if he might violate the village's order.Asuna didn't know if this idea was correct, if it was really the obsessive wish of that ninja Iwagakure, at least she felt so in her heart.

Suddenly, someone patted Asuna on the shoulder, and Asuna trembled all over. She quickly turned her head and saw Sakumo Hatake standing behind her. She relaxed slightly and said, "So it's Brother Sakumo."

"Are you okay? You don't look very good." Sakumo Hatake asked. When Asuna turned her head just now, her eyes had some kind of emotion, which made Sakumo Hatake feel bad. .

"It's nothing, I just feel..." Asuna glanced at the stored corpse, which was now wrapped up, and she couldn't see the appearance, "War is really an annoying thing."

Hatake Sakumo noticed the way Asuna looked at the corpse, and his heart sank slightly. His fellow disciple Tsunade is a new star in the medical department and is expected to become the leading medical ninja in the medical department. Naturally, he understands very well that what she cares about is for ninjas. The subject of mental health, having said that, the initiator of this subject is Asuna's father Masaki Kazemori.

——Perhaps, the teacher realized a long time ago that for young ninjas, the psychological damage caused by war may affect their future lives if they are not properly guided.

Hatake Sakumo looked at Asuna with a trace of pity. Asuna is only 16 years old this year. In terms of the profession of ninja, he is no longer young, but in the eyes of his teacher, this is still an age that needs attention. part.You know, even Hatake Sakumo, who was in his 20s, felt a little uncomfortable after witnessing the casualties caused by this battle, let alone the younger Asuna.

"Brother Sakumo." Maki walked over at this time, and she also had a strange look on her face. For young ninjas like them, especially women with relatively slender temperaments, they would have some psychology towards such a horrible corpse. Uncomfortable, "The higher-ups told you to go back and report the situation."

"Yeah, I almost forgot." Hearing this, Sakumo Hatake remembered immediately, patted his head, and said to Asuna, "Asuna, don't worry too much, sleep well after you go back, and fight After so long, you must be very tired, and so are Maki and Risa, you all should take a good rest."

After all, Sakumo Hatake is not a professional medical ninja, and he doesn't know how to give people psychological counseling. This skill is not mastered by everyone in the medical department. Naturally, he is not a fighting ninja. He can only say this. Then he said goodbye in a hurry.

Now, the battles in other places have ended. As everyone expected, the Iwagakure ninjas were obviously unable to cope with the sudden detonation guns. Almost all the defense lines in the field were pulled out by the Konoha ninjas, and they faced the Iwagakure ninjas directly. The town that is guarded, and the next battle will have to be re-planned. First of all, it is necessary to clarify the mistakes made in this battle. The senior Konoha ninjas in charge of the on-site command must go to report and discuss. This is the wind. Mori Zhenghui's request, discuss with each other, find out their own shortcomings, and prevent repeated mistakes next time.

Hatake Sakumo, as the captain of the No. [-] ninja team, also wants to participate in this discussion. From his own perspective, he elaborates on the defensive measures of the Iwagakure ninjas and suggests how to solve them. After his report is finished , which is the speech of others.

Generally speaking, the mistakes made by Konoha Ninja are not big, and the most common ones are the problems faced by using new ninja tools such as detonators for the first time.First, because the detonator has great destructive power and is easy to operate, it is easy for people to feel slack and forget to cooperate with it to play a greater role; second, the detonator consumes a lot, and the detonator bullet Nearly facing a shortage of supply, these are the main problems that arise when applying detonators.

"In the final analysis, the detonator is just a weapon. We need to use it to increase our own strength, not let it replace us." After everyone reported, Commander Inuzuka Shigeru knocked on the table with a serious expression, "If it is too Relying on it, it is easy to have flaws, and it will be used by people if you are not careful, such as the detonator that was completely damaged in a certain department."

Although Shigeru Inuzuka didn't mention his name, everyone knew who he was talking about. It was no secret, because that was the only group that lost all the detonators. The commander suddenly broke out in cold sweat and looked embarrassed, but It is also impossible to argue, after all what Inuzuka Shigeru said is reasonable.

"After you go back, think about how to make the team and the use of the detonator form a good cooperation, and don't have a situation where the two are out of touch. It seems that there is no big problem. At most, it is unable to exert its full strength. However, for experienced It's just ninjas, and this kind of disjointed situation becomes a huge hole, understand?" Inuzuka said.

"Yes." The Konoha ninja present immediately responded loudly, expressing that he understood.

Inuzuka Shigeru nodded and said: "As for the issue of detonating rune bombs, I will write to the village and ask them to deliver new detonating rune bombs. During this period of time, do not attack the town. The main task is to Consolidate the existing line of defense, monitor the movements of the Iwagakure ninjas, collect intelligence, and provide a basis for formulating combat plans."

For this point, everyone is clear in their hearts. Although they have heard of the reputation of Yanyin Ninja for being good at defense, they were still shocked when they faced it for the first time.This time, due to the surprise attack of the detonator, they achieved remarkable results, but the next one will not be so smooth. They have already tasted the difficulties they face in battle. Knock and hit, you won't be able to break it for a while, and when you feel tired and want to take a break, the other party will suddenly stick out his head and bite you. If there is a detonator, this situation will be much better, but why? The reserves of detonating rune bombs are far from enough, and the real bombing will not take long. It is impossible to gnaw away the indestructible town fortress in a short time.

"Master Mao, I have a request." Hatake Sakumo said, "I hope that the people in the medical department can send people who are good at psychological counseling to the front line to ensure the mental health of the companions. The battle with the Iwagakure ninjas is too tragic , causing many companions to have psychological discomfort.”

Following Hatake Sakumo's speech, other people also nodded, saying that this phenomenon also appeared in their own tribe.Seeing this, Inuzuka Shigeru couldn't help pondering. An old ninja like him actually doesn't quite understand this new gadget. During the Warring States period, there were far more cruel things than this. He has already adapted to it, or is numb. At that time, he was just licking the wounds with his companions and kept coming back alive, but Masaki Fengmori was promoting this matter personally, and Zhuanju Xiaochun was in charge, so he just let it go, but he didn't think it would be useful when.

"I will apply to the village, if the village agrees to this matter." Inuzuka Shigeru thought about it again and again, and planned to give it a try. Having said that, he heard that Tsunade had specialized in this subject, and now Tsunade is If he went to the Eastern Front, he couldn't guarantee how many psychological counselors there were in the medical department with a sufficient level.
