Naruto God Tree Arrives

After Konoha formally signed an alliance with the Kingdom of Frost, Nashu immediately dispatched one hundred thousand Konoha ninja troops and the 20 Tang ninjas he had collected to station in the Kingdom of Frost. Together with the tens of thousands of ninjas from Snow Hidden Village, the total force reached About [-] people were paid, and a large amount of logistical resources were continuously transported into the Kingdom of Frost, making it look like a war was about to begin.

After receiving the news, Kumogakure became even more convinced that Konoha was going to launch an attack from the western border. He put all his strength into preparations and wanted to teach Konoha a profound lesson. As for Yuki Ninja and Tang Ninja, they didn't take them seriously at all. , is nothing more than cannon fodder found by Skywalker.

But no one could have imagined that the series of actions taken by the Kingdom of Frost were just a method used by the rope tree to confuse Yunyin.

At eleven o'clock in the night on April 48, Konoha 4, a special fleet of warships quietly docked outside the largest port facing the sea in the north of Yuno Country.These battleships are completely different from the traditional wooden ships of the ninja world. They are all made of steel, with a special white coating on the surface.Some of the largest ships are very strange in shape. They are narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. The hull above the waterline is tall and wide, and looks like a rectangular iron box. Except for a small control tower on the top deck, everything is flat. , there are no bulwarks on both sides of the ship.

Most people in the ninja world will be a little confused about their specific uses after seeing such strangely shaped huge battleships, but if they are from the same place as the rope tree, they can recognize it as an aircraft carrier at a glance.

In addition to developing the air force over the past decade or so, Roeshu has also attached great importance to the development of the navy.Especially after relying on the Air Force of the Kingdom of Bears to successfully intercept Kirigakure's offensive in the last war, Naoki felt that if Konoha had an advanced fleet at sea, it would be much more proactive in the war against the Kingdom of Water.After all, the flying distance of the air force is limited. It is difficult to rely on the geographical advantages of the Whirlpool Island and the Bear Country to defend the coastal waters. It is basically impossible to attack the Water Country on a long voyage, especially after the Water Country also has its own air force. Attacking by sea is even more difficult.

So Roeshu secretly ordered scientists from the Scientific Research Department to research and build aircraft carriers on Whirlpool Island. With the technical foundation of the Air Force and the huge industrial conditions of Whirlpool Island, after more than ten years of research, Ropetree finally had an eight-ship aircraft carrier. A huge fleet composed of aircraft carriers and more than twenty frigates, cruisers and other auxiliary battleships.Different from the normal fleet, this fleet, like the air force, is also a product of chakra black technology. All energy is provided by zero tail clones. The weapons used are also laser cannons. The air force carried on the aircraft carrier also uses aircraft and airships.

Now Konoha wants to cross the sea to attack the mainland of the Kingdom of Thunder, and the Tianxing Fortress has to stay in the west to defend the border, so the rope tree has transferred this fleet to escort the army.

At the port, Konoha high-level officials were shocked when they saw the behemoths on the sea. Tsunade said in shock: "Noseki, this is what you said. These warships look very powerful."

"Of course, the cost of building this fleet alone is no less than that of Tianxing Fortress. With them, Konoha can completely dominate the sea." Nashu looked at the fleet on the sea and said proudly: "Originally, it was specially built for the water. The trump card prepared by the country was not expected to be used on the Kingdom of Thunder first. But it doesn’t matter, they will definitely bring us a brilliant victory this time."

"The same cost as the Tianxing Fortress is tens of billions of taels." Jiraiya said with an exaggerated look: "In that case, why not just build another Tianxing Fortress. Compared with the fleet that can only sail at sea, it can

Wouldn’t a flying fortress be better?”

Shengshu shook his head and explained: "That's not how the account is calculated. Although the flying fortress seems to be more powerful than the battleship and can be used on both waterways, its concealment, sailing speed, and defense range are far inferior to those of us relying on this fleet. The Ninja Army can be quietly transported here from Whirlpool Island within a few hours, which is several times faster than the Ninja Army marching on the ground. If it is Tianxing Fortress, it will take at least a day and a night, and it will definitely be destroyed. Reconnaissance ninjas from various countries discovered that if the fleet sailed separately at sea, with the assistance of the air force, it could completely achieve the purpose of blocking the entire sea area between the mainland and the Kingdom of Water. This cannot be achieved by relying on a Tianxing Fortress alone.

Compared with defense on land, sea power is equally important. Just like the Kingdom of Thunder has completely ignored naval construction, now it is completely undefended for us, and we can attack their homeland at any time.Another example is that in the past, we in Konoha could only passively endure Kirigakure's attacks from the sea. We needed a large number of troops to defend the long coastline to the south, but we were unable to launch a counterattack against the Kingdom of Water.But now we can not only defend our enemies overseas without worrying about being harassed at home, but we can also attack the Water Country itself.

Although the cost is a bit expensive, this fleet is definitely worth the money.”

"I see." After hearing Nasuki's explanation, the high-level officials of Konoha present nodded. This was the first time they realized the importance of sea power.

"Lord Naoki is indeed far-sighted. It seems that our army will win this war. With the escort of the navy, the sea is our territory, and the Kingdom of Thunder on the other side is very close at hand." Kato Dan praised with admiration. He had already seen Another purpose of joining the navy is to expand Konoha's control over the territory, so I admire my brother-in-law from the bottom of my heart.

Naoki nodded to Kato Suan with a deep look on his face: "Brother-in-law, these words deeply touched my heart."

In fact, there are many ways for Naoki to bypass Kumogakure's defense line. In addition to Tianxing Fortress, he can also use time and space ninjutsu. His sacred tree cave can now accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops. He only needs a flying thunder god. The army can be brought to any location in the Kingdom of Thunder without worrying about logistical interference.

But he did not choose this method to attack the Kingdom of Thunder, because even if he used the Flying Thunder God to capture the land of the Kingdom of Thunder, the two sides were still separated by a sea. It was impossible for Konoha to effectively control an overseas enclave. Kumogakure Just keep using guerrilla tactics to drive them overboard sooner or later.But after having the navy, if Konoha wanted to cross the strait and land in the Land of Thunder, it would only take an hour at most, and it was almost a matter of lifting a foot.In this way, Konoha can take root in the Kingdom of Thunder through shipping, connect the two territories, and then gradually encroach on the Kingdom of Thunder to expand its territory.

The navy can expand the scope of a country's control by many things. For example, the Sun Never Sets Empire in the previous life of Rope Tree turned almost half of the world into a colony, and controlled far more territory than the mainland. If it were not for population restrictions and strategic policy issues, it would eventually be Will not decline.

As long as Konoha maintains its naval superiority, it can maintain control of overseas territories even without the Rope Tree. Although the Sacred Tree Cave Sky is against the sky, it cannot always serve as a country's transportation vehicle.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that Roeshu chose to use the fleet to attack the Kingdom of Thunder.From now on, this fleet will be stationed permanently in this strait to protect Konoha's shipping. Caravans, troops, and civilians can freely travel between the two places.
