Konoha Koi

Chapter 315 This may be the worst era!
The coming of spring is supposed to be the season for all things to germinate, but in the Land of Tang, it is as dead and silent as withered autumn.

The nutrition of the earth seems to be drained by some kind of existence, and even the place where the forest should be is full of dead trees.To add insult to injury, from autumn to the present, Tango Country has not rained for five full months! !
Hiruzaru Sarutobi led the members of the first squad, five figures walked through the dry woods and came to a village.

This place was originally a Heze, near the foot of the small river cliff, and the water source was extremely rich.But now the water in the upper reaches has completely dried up, and the villagers use the only water to cultivate seedlings, but the crops planted die one after another.There are other crops, but the strange thing is that if you don't plant anything in the ground, it will wither and die.Even sweet potatoes, a tenacious crop, died as soon as they were planted.

In order to continue to seek a glimmer of hope, many local villagers can only dig wells around, or beg for rain to feed them.

Sarutobi Hirzen looked at the villagers working everywhere and the scrawny children, feeling a little sour in his heart. He wanted to help them, but his only combat rations were only enough to meet basic needs.

"It's really tragic..." Zhuanzhu Xiaochun said with emotion: "This is already the third water source we have seen according to the map markers. If there is no clue, then we can only go to the seaside to find it!"

"What's the use of going to the beach? There's no way to drink the bitter and salty seawater! Water escape ninjutsu can't separate the salt, so it can't supplement the needs of our Konoha army!" Qiudao Torukaze felt a little frustrated , These days, in order to help the large army find water sources, they have almost crossed half of the country of soup, but in the end they have no effect at all.

Logically speaking, they should turn to Aurora who possesses the "Flying Thunder God Art", but he also has his own important responsibilities.Because of the large-scale famine problem, Yun Yin's troops were also affected. Konoha had to rely on Aurora to take the opportunity to pull out the enemy's stronghold, and drive Yun Yin back to the border of the Kingdom of the Moon as soon as possible.

Therefore, the burden of considering water supplies for the troops fell on their heads.As long as they find enough water sources, they can use Aurora's sealed scroll to reserve water sources, and then Aurora will distribute them to the ninjas in each stronghold.

Of course, ninjas can also obtain water sources through ninjutsu.But that would be a waste for the ninjas. You must know that this is a famine. Where can the ninjas extract chakra from when they have no food to eat?
Mito Menyan shrugged, smiled and patted Akimichi Tekkaze on the shoulder and said: "There is no way to do this. The sea surrounds this continent. If you want water, of course you can start there. In fact, as long as you get close to At the seaside, a large amount of water can be extracted from the humid air through the temperature difference between day and night, which saves trouble and effort.”

Uchiha shook his head and said: "It is indeed feasible to extract water through the temperature difference between day and night, but it requires many containers to hold dew and a large area of ​​metal materials. We do not have such conditions, and we can only collect water for a day from a dozen people at most. But the water collected in this way is still not enough for large troops!"

"Ah...it really doesn't work, let's find a solution with Aurora!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi suddenly said: "Although during this period of time, he has a very important task, and he must take the opportunity to remove more enemy strongholds. But now it is about the survival of our army, so we have to delay him for some more time!"

"That's right, this is the third water source mark point, and even this place is dry. If we can't find the water source again, we will die of thirst on the road!" Qiu Dao took a long breath, as if Wanjin The burden is lifted.

Right now, Xiaochun, who was sleeping next to him, suddenly stretched out a finger, rolled his eyes and said:
"Well! But I think that if things go on like this, maybe the war can be stopped early! After all, everyone has no food, so there is no energy to waste on wars and fights!"

"You are wrong, just the opposite!!" Uchiha mirror frowned, and said with unprecedented seriousness:

"You may not have heard the story of the Warring States Period! Whenever there is a drought and a famine, the wars between the various ninja families will not be quelled, but will become more tragic! They will fight and rob resources everywhere like locusts crossing the border. In order to ensure Their own clansman survived, and they swept all the resources they saw! They even sold their lives cheaply, and became cannon fodder for nobles just for a bite of food!"

"What Kagami said is right, this is what I am really worried about!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked up at the sky, his eyes were uncertain, and he said:

"This year's spring started so hard. If there is no more rain, it is very likely that there will be no food harvest for the whole year! In history, the ninja world has almost never had such a weird phenomenon. Especially in the land of soup In this piece of land, it seems that there is a model swallowing all the vitality under the earth.

So, what I am more worried about is, will starvation and famine continue for several years? ! "

"What?!" Hearing this, Mitomenyan raised his head in surprise and said, "Hunger and famine last for several years?! If that's the case, there will definitely be many, many people!"

"That's right..." Hiru Sarutobi nodded and continued:
"Although it is not the Warring States period now, the ninja world has changed from family wars to competition among the five major ninja villages. But the essence will not change. The first need of a ninja is not mission money but survival. Guarantee the safety of yourself and your family. Survive! In order to rob food and resources among ninjas, not only will not quell the war, but they may become like locusts, wandering and fighting everywhere!!! In the end, the unlucky ones are likely to be those relatively wealthy towns or villages! "

"No...it won't be that scary, right?!" Turning to sleep Xiaochun opened his eyes wide, looking at his captain in disbelief.

"So... where will the focus of future wars be?" Uchiha mirror muttered to himself and analyzed:

"The Land of Fire is fairly prosperous, but it will also be affected by drought. Only the Land of Rivers, the Land of Rain, the Land of Taki, and the border areas of the Land of Grass that have abundant water resources may not be affected by the drought so severely!"

"That is to say! In order to fight for the chance to survive, will everyone go there to fight in the melee?!" Thinking of this, Mito Menyan suddenly felt a chilling feeling, and tremblingly said:
"If that's the case, how many people will die in this war in the end?!"

In order to survive, several major ninja villages plunder while walking, rushing to fight in several small countries in the ninja world!If that's the case, how miserable will the people of those small countries be? !

"This...maybe the worst era!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi said in a low voice.

The air suddenly became quiet, and the people in the first shift seemed to be lost in thought.

When the few people were silent, a falcon suddenly flew down from the sky, and landed steadily on Hiruzaru Sarutobi's shoulder.That is the flying ninja used by Konoha to communicate, specially used to convey information. (It's not that they can't psychic the eight-foot crow, but that the waste of chakra doesn't last long)

(PS: How miserable was the ninja world for the first time? Let’s put it this way, according to unofficial statistics, almost all the elders of Konoha in that era died, four of the second kage of the five major ninja villages died, and the second kazekage lived for a long time Point, but it also died later! The first ninja war was 20 years away from the second ninja war, the longest period of peace and restoration since the establishment of Konoha!)

The weirdest thing is that the second generation Tukage and Mizukage died together!Why is it weird?Take a closer look at the map of Hokage. These two countries are completely inseparable, and there are n countries separated from each other by one east and one west!It is unscientific for these two countries to work so hard to fight across the country of fire. It can only be some kind of catastrophe that makes them migrate!

However, as the plot continues, history will not repeat itself, just to talk about the rationality of the plot.
