Naruto God Tree Arrives

Chapter 696 Melee and Stalemate

Soon the top leaders of various countries understood that it turned out that Skywalker deliberately attracted Iwagakure's troops in the Kingdom of Grass, and then concentrated 20 troops in the west to launch a sneak attack on the weak Earth Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Birds was probably just incidental.

At this time, Sunagakure Village had been monitored by Fire Temple using one tail, so Naoki was not afraid that they would suddenly rebel. Without any worries, he directly used all the troops in the western region to launch an attack to the north.

In fact, he had no intention of launching an attack from the Country of Grass from the beginning, because the situation in that area was very complicated, and the Country of Thunder could intervene at any time, and there was also the Country of Rain between the Country of Earth and the Country of Fire in that direction. The two allies, the Country of Grass, are nothing more than an enclave even if they are captured by Konoha. However, the Country of Birds in the northwest is completely bordered by Konoha, and all the territories captured can be connected together.

So Naoki used the strategy of seducing the east and attacking the west, and deliberately stayed in the Country of Grass for three full months. After everything was ready, he secretly transferred the surrendered Ten Thousand Sunagakure to the west, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer, and led the An army of 20 launched a surprise attack.

In order to maintain absolute confidentiality, Naoki did not disclose this strategic plan to anyone. Even the top brass of Konoha headquarters thought that he had joined forces with Kusanagi and Ume to launch an attack from the southeastern border of Earth Country.With his current status, he has every right to lead this war. Even if the higher-ups of Pontus were kept in the dark, they would not have the right to take charge of him.

Although Naoki once mentioned the 36 strategies to a few people in Konoha, the entire ninja world knew very little about this strategy from another world, so Iwagakure Village was indeed fooled.

The Kingdom of Birds, which soon occupied half of its territory, made an international voice and strongly condemned the Kingdom of Fire's unprovoked invasion of them.The Earth Kingdom also expressed support at this time, saying that Konoha's ambitions were finally exposed and that sooner or later it would launch an invasion of other countries, calling on the entire ninja world to unite to conquer Konoha.

Because Konoha's performance is too strong, all countries in the ninja world, including small countries, have a strong fear of Konoha.Don’t you, Konoha, always take it as your duty to maintain peace? If you can invade the Bird Country today in order to attack the Earth Country, can you also destroy them tomorrow?

In order to avoid falling into a diplomatic crisis, Konoha finally issued an announcement: Konoha has always loved peace, and this will never change.The reason for launching an attack on the Kingdom of Birds is because during the last war, the Kingdom of Birds and the Kingdom of Ghosts provided large amounts of food aid to the Kingdom of Wind at critical moments.And there is evidence provided by the Kingdom of Wind.Therefore, it can be concluded that the country of birds and the country of ghosts are hostile to Konoha.Konoha will not take the initiative to attack countries that strictly maintain neutrality.

Although the reason is a bit far-fetched, Konoha has produced conclusive evidence, so other small and medium-sized countries that think they have not sinned against Konoha are completely relieved.The Kingdom of Ghosts, which was also designated as an enemy, came to the aid of the Kingdom of Birds in order to protect itself.

Nose Tree had already expected the reaction of the Kingdom of Ghosts, but it was also in line with his wishes, because in addition to the Kingdom of Earth, the Kingdom of Birds and the Kingdom of Ghosts were also the targets of Nose Tree. If the conflict expanded, he would More excuses to occupy these two countries.

After the diplomatic crisis was resolved, the 15 Konoha army quickly occupied a large area of ​​territory with the help of [-] rock ninjas. However, because the civilians of the Earth Kingdom did not give up their country, the rope tree was inevitably dragged into the quagmire by guerrilla tactics. It didn't go too deep, but just tasted and stopped. When the occupied area reached the control limit, it stopped the offensive and began to slowly digest the territory.

Facing the menacing Konoha Ninja Army, Iwagakure Village just sent Lao Zi to lead [-] Ninja Army to the western border for defense.A mere [-] ninja army was too weak for Naoki's [-]-strong army. It wasn't that Iwagakure didn't want to send more ninja troops, but that the border area of ​​Earth Kingdom was too large, and the southeast direction The Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Grass are also ready to move, and Iwagakure really can't spare too many manpower.

Fortunately, Iwagakure also formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Birds and the Kingdom of Demons. The combined strength of the three parties was 11. Coupled with the harassment of guerrilla tactics, they were finally able to barely block the offensive of the 20 Konoha Ninja Army. Fang entered a confrontation stage in the northwest of the ninja world.

Although the attack was temporarily blocked, Naoki was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he began to digest the occupied area step by step. With the experience of conquering the Kingdom of Wind last time, the management of the General's Mansion went very smoothly. As for the Konoha Ninja With the help of ten thousand Iwagakure, the army quickly became familiar with the environment of the occupied area, so Iwagakure's guerrilla tactics did not cause too many casualties to Konoha.

In this way, the two sides have been facing each other for several months, with frequent exchanges between them.Although Lao Zi is a Jinchuuriki, due to the overall dominance of Kage-level combat power on Naoki's side, and the shadow of being captured twice, he behaves very cautiously, never collides head-on, and always hides in the dark. Even the rope tree could not catch the command, which disappointed Kushina who was eager to fight against the same kind.However, this also resulted in very few casualties on both sides. In addition, the number and personal combat power of the Konoha ninja army were completely superior, so in general Konoha had the advantage.However, due to the lack of cooperation from local civilians, the Konoha ninja army never expanded and remained on the defensive.

The Konoha Ninja Army did not have any impetuous emotions this time, because they had achieved huge results from the beginning. They occupied half of the territory of the Kingdom of Birds, plus the towns of the Kingdom of Earth, and the combined area was almost It was comparable to the Kingdom of Rain. Even if they did not advance an inch further, they had already opened up territory. Moreover, they believed that their commander Skywalker must have backup to lead them to victory.

After experiencing the hardships of the Wind Kingdom War, the 20 ninja troops in the Saidu Territory have become a truly elite division. They are not arrogant in victory but not discouraged in defeat. This is the army that the rope tree needs most.

And Roeshu did have a way to break the situation a long time ago, but this opportunity to break the situation was not under his control, and he still had to wait.

Based on the plot that Nao Shu knew and the intelligence sent back from the ANBU station, Nao Shu deduced that Yunyin Village couldn't help but launch an attack, but their attack was a bit special.

In addition to openly attacking the Kingdom of Fire, Kumogakure is also secretly preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Earth.Yes, Yunyin Village is preparing to go to war with two countries at the same time this time, and the Kingdom of Earth seems to be their real target. This is a plan to attack the east and attack the west.

After the Three Kingdoms enter the melee, the situation in the ninja world will definitely change again, and this is the opportunity for Naoki to break the situation.
