Konoha's New Third Hokage

Chapter 548 High-altitude strike
Despite the declaration of the allies, the northern countries naturally cannot give up so easily. The country of fire has always been the most powerful country in the Ninja Continent. There are never such good times.

However, although the civil war has already broken out, it does not mean that the Nation of Fire is powerless to fight back. According to the information collected by the northern countries, none of the elite warriors on the border joined the civil war. In this civil war, Konoha Ninja Village only dispatched About 5000 troops, the rest are still on standby in Konoha Ninja Village.

Although Hiruzaru Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Kagami Uchiha and Torokaze Akimichi left the village, as long as Masaki Kazemori is still there, it means that Konoha Ninja Village still has a backbone and a strong cohesion. In this case, easy hacking is not a good idea.

Even Onoki, who never forgot to attack the Land of Fire, still kept in mind the mistakes made in the last war. Before the situation really changed, he would never issue an order to invade. Because of being too eager in the last war, in the Land of Thunder Invading the Nation of Fire before officially announcing it, but it ruined his reputation and made it hard for him to get off.

Although they can't choose to invade immediately, the northern countries can choose to deploy their troops first. If the situation in the country of fire gradually becomes critical in the future, they can save time and directly enter the country of fire.The northern countries also understand that it is impossible to conquer the Nation of Fire at once. The Nation of Fire is a powerful country that has fought against the three major powers many times without falling. In fact, it should be worse - so as long as the slogan of helping to stabilize the situation can be used to weaken the power of the Fire Land as much as possible.

Because Feng Mori Masaki has always promoted a just war in the past, the big countries that are hostile to the Nation of Fire naturally don't take it seriously, but they have to face up to the reputation of the country in the ninja world. Although it is powerful, it can be ignored, but sometimes it can indeed serve For example, domestic public opinion may drag down military strikes in a political sense, and facing the common threat of foreign enemies enables the domestic people to work together to resist the enemy.

No matter what happens in the current ninja world, there must be a teacher who is famous. If you really don't care at all, if there are some problems in the country in the future, you may stumble.

It's a pity, because the allies wisely didn't directly intervene in the internal affairs of the Nation of Fire, so that the northern countries that are not even the allies have no excuse to intervene. Otherwise, the distance of the army can be closer to the border of the Nation of Fire, so that they can attack more quickly .

On this point, Masaki Kazemori would really like to thank Hanzo and Fenfuku. Their statements have kept the situation from getting worse. It is not just that the northern countries can march. If the Allies intervene at this moment, it may indeed end the civil war as soon as possible. However, it will leave a loophole for the Allies to intervene in the internal affairs of other countries without going through procedures, which is not conducive to the maintenance of the Southern Alliance.

It is precisely because of this that the northern countries can only place their troops on their own borders and watch the civil war in the country of fire from a distance. Once the civil war drags on for a long time, they can take certain measures.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very annoyed at the behavior of the northern country taking advantage of the fire, but he couldn't do anything at the moment, not to mention that he is now commanding and fighting against the Daimyo Army. The issue of the civil war can't be faulted too much. Besides, people have not interfered at the moment, they just put the army at the door, and no matter how loud the slogan is, it has not been implemented.

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen has only one choice, which is to end the civil war as soon as possible, so that the northern countries don't even have an excuse. If they don't want to trigger the third ninja world war like this, it is impossible to make any further moves.

"Tell me, will Onogi and the others take advantage of the short-term chaos after the civil war to attack the Land of Fire?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"If the civil war can end quickly, the country's losses will not be particularly great, and the situation should be able to stabilize quickly. In addition, when foreign enemies invade, the people must be united. I don't think the third generation of Raikage will do it. The third generation of Tsuchikage is not necessarily. Fame is not so important, and more careful thinking." Qiu Dao said.

"That's right. Onogi's face is thick enough, and he is greedy for cheap. Originally, Yunyin Ninja Village didn't care much about reputation, but the third generation of Raikage has recently learned from Masaki's actions, and it is not so ostentatious." Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded. .

Yunyin Ninja Village used to be very intrusive because of its strong martial arts tradition. In the world war, the third generation of Raikage made the decision to form an alliance with Konoha Ninja Village, and combined with Yunyin's characteristics in the village system, learning from Konoha Ninja Village, and gradually began to reason.

"Three generations of Raikage's ideals are not small. He is the only shadow other than Kazekage who came to visit the village. Although this move is to deepen the relationship between Konoha and Yunyin, in my opinion, what he plans is not small. .” Qiudao said.

"Now the southern part of the Ninja Continent is maintained as an alliance. Because of the principle of collective confrontation, it can basically be regarded as a country. If Yunyin Ninja Village wants to compete with it, it must integrate the northern countries. Now the surface It is an alliance above, but Ohnoki always has small moves behind his back, and the relationship is not as close as that of the Southern Alliance." Hiruzaru Sarutobi said while looking at the troops that were retreating ahead.

"Indeed, even if we invaded after the Civil War, we would still meet with the Confederate Alliance. I don't think the third generation of Raikage would be so short-sighted. No matter what, we have to bring the northern countries to the same level of connection as ours." Akimichi Takkaze laughed Laughing, "Three generations of Tukage can be regarded as a generation of outstanding people, but they are too stubborn and conservative. For a country, the Three generations of Tsuchikage can be kept anyway, but for an alliance, the Three generations of Tsuchikage may not be so suitable. Lei Shadow is fine."

If the northern countries can also form an alliance to compete with the southern countries, they must unify their voices, and there must be a leader among the two powerful countries.In Sarutobi's opinion, Raikage III's personality charm is more suitable than Onogi's to be the leader of the alliance, but it's a pity that Onoki himself certainly doesn't think so.

"Raikage must also plan to unite the northern countries. His spirit is much stronger than Onogi." Hiruzaru Sarutobi seemed to have thought of something, "Tell me, will Raikage use this opportunity to further strengthen the northern countries? contact?"

"It's unlikely, the Land of Earth is an obstacle to the strengthening of ties between the northern countries - Onoki can't watch the Land of Thunder increase its influence, and the tacit cooperation between Ohnoki and the daimyo of the Land of Earth governs the Land of Earth like a rock , may not be able to go further, but there will be no problems, as long as there is no internal turmoil in the Land of Earth, Raikage may not be able to do much." Akimichi Takkaze thought for a while and replied.

"However, there are ideological differences in the Iwagakure Ninja Village. Onogi has no successors now. The new generation of Iwagakure Ninjas have a different ideological policy than Onogi. Ohnoki probably cannot recognize it. No matter how solid the rock is, if there are internal problems, it will not It will become vulnerable." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"But there is no incident that caused the internal conflicts in Yanyin Ninja Village to erupt. It is impossible for Tu and Lei to just fight on their own?" Akimichi Tokfu said with a smile.

"Uh, yes!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi groaned, and laughed a little, "Even if there are any problems, it depends on our situation."

"That's right, don't think about how the northern countries are doing, anyway, they can't do much now, let's focus on the present." Qiu Daofeng reminded.

"The topic was off by accident." Hiruzaru Sarutobi shook his head helplessly, and said, "After this trial, the Daming Army might not come out to fight us so easily."

"The detonator can adjust the angle to bomb. At most, the opponent can rely on the town to last longer, but we have other secret weapons this time." Akimichi Tekkaze said.

"Hey, it's time for them to appear on the stage. The attack on the evil god's village probably couldn't even move their bones. This time we can let them play well." Hiruzaru Sarutobi understood the meaning of Akimichi Takakaze, and he was saying: Now It's time for the Air Combat Forces to strike.

This day and night, after the search by the reconnaissance troops, and after the deployment of the vanguard army of the Daming Prefecture was clear, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked the flying combat troops: After the official attack began, the flying combat troops would be responsible for the high-altitude attack. The responsibility to strike creates opportunities for troops on the ground.

Hattori Heizo led the captains of the flight combat unit in front of Sarutobi Hiruzane and Akimichi Torikaze, expressing that they will definitely go all out. This time is the real challenge for the flight combat unit.

In order to participate in this war, in addition to the members of the first phase of the flight combat force, the expanded personnel also joined in. Although the level of training is not as good as that of the first phase, and they cannot perform complex actions, but in this battle, the flight combat Troops do not need to conduct overly complex strikes.

Although there is no good way to attack enemies at high altitudes, if the Chakra warriors in the Daming Army use long-range strike weapons such as bows and arrows, the flying combat troops will also encounter trouble. One or two may not be able to attack, but check There are quite a few carat warriors.

Therefore, Hattori Heizo believes that it is best for flying combat troops to be at a safe high altitude, and throwing targeted ninja tools downward is the best way, and Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed.

Since it is mainly thrown at a safe high-altitude distance, it naturally does not require any complicated flying movements, just throwing things at the target.

At this time, the combat plan has been finalized, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Akimichi Torukaze officially issued orders, and the flying combat troops, led by Hattori Heizo, entered the boundless night sky. In the night environment, they flew high in the sky Basically, it is difficult to be caught on the ground.

Originally, it was difficult for the flying combat troops to observe the situation on the ground. However, there are ninjas from the Hinata and Yamanaka families in the flying combat troops. The situation observed by the Hyuga family with white eyes is unified through the spiritual connection of the Yamanaka family. In the flight combat unit, you can create the advantage of the enemy's darkness.

According to the information provided by Hinata Ninja, the flying combat troops immediately bombed important places in the town. The sudden explosion awakened the defenders in the city, and they panicked for a while. The Chakra warriors were very calm. After clarifying the source of the attack, Launch a counterattack towards the sky.

Even if the Chakra warriors' combat ability is beyond ordinary people, the long-range weapons they use can't attack the flying combat troops. Instead, they are discovered by the flying combat troops and concentrate on bombing. The Chakra warriors can't escape very far. Was blown to the ground.

The vanguard of the Daming House Army can be considered to be quite powerful, but faced with such an unprecedented high-altitude attack, they couldn't adapt immediately. Most of the vanguard army is armed by local lords, and the number of chakra warriors is not small. , but there is no way to restore this situation.

After successive bombings, the city was in chaos, and the defenders on the city wall didn't know what to do. At this moment, the detonating artillery from the ground troops came, and the defenders on the city wall were even more unable to resist.

At the same time, the ninja troops of the medium and short range type advanced rapidly under the cover of the detonating guns, and the defenders on the city wall did not notice. The ninjas quickly climbed to the city wall and killed all the defenders who were still alive kill.Then, they sent a signal to the Konoha combat troops outside.

At this time, the city fell into chaos due to high-altitude strikes. The defenders on the city wall were killed by Konoha ninjas who were operating on a small scale.

The Konoha ninja who controlled the city wall further eliminated the nearby enemy forces, and at the same time opened the city gate, allowing most of them to enter.

At this time, the Konoha Combat Troops could no longer use the detonating guns—this is a city where people live!The Konoha ninjas did not intend to raze the entire city. The people were the object of their protection, and the real enemy was the Daimyo Army.

The samurai brought a series of individual combat weapons such as samurai swords, blasting charms, and matchlock guns. They will enter the battle as a frontal force, and ninjas will echo and assist them. Compared with the previous bombing, fighting in the city will be more dangerous.

According to Sarutobi Hiruzen's order, wipe out all the enemy troops at the city gate, stabilize the situation in the city as quickly as possible, and protect the safety of the people.

The samurai rushed into the city, and the ninjas were on the two wings of the samurai army to protect the safety and prevent those enemies from attacking in complex terrain--samurai are not good at fighting like this, but ninjas are good at it!
Within an hour, Konoha completely controlled the city, and the rest of the living enemy troops all abandoned the city and fled. Konoha did not choose to pursue the battle, but stabilized the situation in the city.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Akimichi Tekkaze were very happy. This battle proved the strength of the flying combat troops. This kind of fighting method greatly shortened the time of the siege battle. It was not so easy to win in the past.

This time the vanguard army consisted of 1 people. Excluding the time it took to prepare for the battle, it was completely defeated in only three to four hours. and the local lord troops far away from the capital did not join them), although the number of Konoha combat troops is nearly double (Konoha ninja troops 7 people-the other 3000 are given to Uchiha Kagami and Shimura Danzo, and the remaining samurai troops are [-] Around, Yachi follows Uchiha Mirror, Shimura Danzobu), but if you calculate carefully, even if there are Chakra warriors, that's it, victory is just around the corner.

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself: Well, it seems that the day of victory in the civil war is not far away, Uchiha Keya, come out and die soon!
