Naruto God Tree Arrives

The 20-strong army gathered together was so vast that it was impossible to hide from the eyes and ears of others, so Skywalker's movements were quickly known to the top leaders of various countries.

After learning the marching direction of Konoha's ninja army, all countries understood that Konoha finally couldn't help but take action against Kumogakure.

In fact, everyone had a premonition about this war. Kumogakure and Konoha had been negotiating for more than five months on the issue of the Third Raikage and [-] prisoners, but there was no result. Konoha asked Yunyin surrendered and ceded territory to pay compensation, but Yunyin Village believed that it still had the strength to fight, and was only willing to spend money to redeem people. The two sides have been at a stalemate, and everyone knows that there will be a war between the two countries.

In fact, Konoha deliberately proposed the harsh conditions for ceding the land and did not expect Yunyin Village to agree. Their purpose was just to buy time.

Although Kumogakure has been in a relatively embarrassing situation since the Third Raikage was captured, they have not damaged their foundation and believe that they still have the power to protect themselves. It is impossible for them to cede the land directly.Even if the Earth Kingdom is beaten like this by Konoha, isn't it still gritting its teeth and persisting? It's impossible for these muscular barbarians of Kumogakure to surrender willingly. Anyway, Konoha will not dare to quarrel as long as it still wants to get benefits from them. Sooner or later, people will be released. The longer they delay, the more opportunities they have. If they can gain an advantage on the battlefield, they can even force Konoha to compromise.

Therefore, Mr. Cheng, who did not negotiate with both sides, was just stalling for time. Konoha needed time to lay out a plan, and Kumogakure also needed time to retreat and lay out defenses.

When Kumogakure's top brass learned of the movements of Nogeki and his 20 troops, they immediately accelerated their retreat. All the 15 troops originally scattered among the northern countries quickly evacuated with all their logistical supplies, and Tsuna The 20-strong army led by Tate did not do anything to stop them. By the time Naoki led the [-]-nin army to join Tsunade, Kumogakure's army had all returned to the Kingdom of Thunder.

In fact, not only Kumogakure, but the entire ninja world is generally not optimistic about Konoha's offensive against the Kingdom of Thunder.

Kumogakure is the second largest ninja village in the ninja world. It originally had 20 troops. After losing 16 elites, there are still 15 troops. Konoha originally had 20 troops on the northeastern border, plus The combined strength of the 35 troops led by Naoki is as high as [-], more than twice that of Kumogakure.With such a huge disparity in military strength, why is it that the entire ninja world still doesn't think highly of Konoha?

This must start from the geographical location of the Kingdom of Thunder. The Kingdom of Thunder is located in the northeast of the mainland. The entire country is isolated overseas, facing the sea to the south, north and east. The only connection with the mainland is the one with the Kingdom of Frost in the west. It is a narrow border. The distance between this border is narrower than the radius of the Land of Grass. It can be said to be the shortest border in the shinobi world. Therefore, Kumogakure only needs to concentrate his troops and set up a defense line at this border to completely block the entire country and the territory of the Kingdom of Thunder. Most of them are high mountains, and the border area is no exception. They are simply natural defense facilities. Kumogakure only needs to rely on natural barriers to block the main intersections to ensure that the border is impregnable, even if it faces ten times the number of enemies.

The ninja world does not have any concept of sea transportation, so this border is the ninja world's version of Hangu Pass and the country of thunder is the ninja world's version of the country of Four Sails.

The Kingdom of Thunder relied on this unique geographical location to slowly develop into the second largest ninja village in the ninja world. According to the original plot, during the Fourth Ninja War, Kumogakure's overall strength actually surpassed Konoha above

It is precisely because the Kingdom of Thunder is so easy to defend and so difficult to attack that the Second Hokage tried his best to form an alliance with Kumogakure, even risking his own adventure to go to the enemy's country, and finally fought because of it.

Death, Konoha never had new recruits to take revenge.Moreover, in the original work, Cloud Hidden Village also used its geographical advantage to rob Mu Ming many times, and even kidnapped Kushina and Hinata twice in a row. In the end, nothing happened, and there was even political turmoil over it. scandal.This kind of continuous provocation, if it were another country, no matter how weak the Third Ninja Hokage was, he would have hit the door long ago.

Konoha, the most powerful ninja village, was so aggrieved when facing Kumogakure, which shows how unparalleled the geographical advantage is.

In addition to these, the external environment of the Kingdom of Thunder is not very good. Its only neighbor is the Kingdom of Frost, and there is a series of northern countries behind the Kingdom of Frost.

Even if the Kingdom of Fire wants to attack the border of the Kingdom of Thunder, it must at least cross the Kingdom of Tang and the Kingdom of Frost before doing so.

Although these two countries are not very powerful, they know how to survive because they are sandwiched between the two big countries. They have been using the two big countries to preserve themselves. However, because of mutual checks and balances, neither country can achieve the goal of annexing them. This kind of The situation is very similar to the previous Kingdom of Ghosts and Kingdom of Birds.

These two countries are also very troublesome obstacles for Konoha. It is not that the Kingdom of Yu and the Kingdom of Frost will send troops to stop Konoha. Since they can give Kumogakure a pass, of course they can also lead the way for Konoha.

The problem also lies in the geographical environment. The Kingdom of Tang and the Kingdom of Frost have their own destiny. One is that there are many hot springs, and the other is that the weather is cold.

The Kingdom of Tang is not bad, the traffic is just troublesome at most, but the ice and snow in the Kingdom of Frost is troublesome.

The Kingdom of Frost is the only connection between the Kingdom of Thunder and the mainland, so everyone entering and leaving must pass through here. However, entering and leaving are completely different concepts. Every time Yunyin sends out troops, he only needs to quickly cross the entire territory of the Kingdom of Frost, and the logistics behind him Transportation is even more convenient because of the unique sled tool of the Kingdom of Frost. However, if someone wants to attack the border of the Kingdom of Thunder, then the cold weather of the Kingdom of Frost is the biggest enemy.

There is a layer of high mountains between the Kingdom of Frost and the Kingdom of Thunder. Although there is only one mountain between them, there are two completely different worlds inside and outside the mountains. Because the mountains block the cold current, the Kingdom of Thunder is like spring all year round, while in the Kingdom of Frost It is true that there is ice and snow all year round here, and the closer to the mountains, the colder it becomes. At night, the temperature will drop to dozens of degrees below zero with the night wind. Even the locals who live in the ice and snow do not dare to spend the night at the foot of the mountain.

Konoha ninjas have lived in the warm land of fire for a long time. Even if they prepare cotton-padded jackets and other cold-proof materials in advance, they cannot persist in this environment for a long time. Kumogakure can easily cast it by just pouring some cold water on it. The tall city walls sealed off all exits from the mountains. With the help of Water Escape, it would be no problem to build a fortress thousands of meters high.

Therefore, the border of the Kingdom of Thunder is not only Hangu Pass, but also the desperate city wall.

In fact, Kumogakure has already done this. This is just the first layer of defense. Even if the Konoha ninja army crosses the icy mountains, there will still be layers of difficulties waiting for them behind.

Over the past five months, Kumogakure has deployed a tight defense line on the border, and designed a complete set of perfect defense plans based on technical skills and tactics, giving full play to the geographical advantages of 16 ninja troops and high mountains. They threatened that even if Konoha's 60-strong army attacked the whole country, they were confident that the enemy would be left behind. This was simply the ninja world's version of the Maginot Line.

All kinds of customs conditions combined, Kumogakure's advantage is too great, and it can no longer be compensated by strategy and manpower. Therefore, even if Skywalker is the god of war in the ninja world, the ninja world is generally not optimistic about him this time.
