Chat group from Naruto

As the leader of the five major ninja villages, Konoha's greatest advantage is that it monopolizes the most resource-rich area in the ninja world: the Land of Fire.

Massive resources have created a large number of strong people.

Of course, talent and blood also brought more geniuses to Konoha.

But there are many talents, but resources are limited.

Therefore, the core factor that allows Konoha to have a strength that far exceeds that of other great ninja villages is not genius, but resources.

With the help of abundant resources, Konoha has an almost overwhelming advantage in high-end combat power.

Even if Orochimaru and Uchiha Obito defected, and Uzumaki Nagato and Konan had ambiguous positions, Konoha's top combat power still exceeded the other three major ninja villages combined.

Even if you don't count the "foreign aid" of Otsutsuki Ichiraku, Konoha still has two super shadow-level powerhouses, Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya.

Except for Orochimaru, the ninja world has been unable to find the next super shadow level.

As for Orochimaru, although this guy belongs to the chaotic camp, at least for now, Orochimaru has been busy with his own affairs and has no interest in participating in the Ninja World War.

What's more, the Rock Ninja, Sand Ninja, and Mist Ninja neither intend to recruit Orochimaru, nor can they offer any chips that can make Orochimaru's heart beat.

This also means that as long as one of Namikaze Minato or Jiraiya appears on the battlefield, at least three Kage levels are needed to barely contain them.

Especially Namikaze Minato.

If Namikaze Minato doesn't want to accept the challenge, he can easily bypass his opponent and massacre the weak. In a very short period of time, all the enemy's weak will be slaughtered, and then he can lead a large number of subordinates to besiege the opponent's strong. .

This is also the tactic that the Fourth Hokage is best at.

With the Flying Thunder God Technique, Namikaze Minato not only has priority in selecting battle targets, but also can kill people weaker than him in one shot, and his clearing efficiency is frighteningly high.

During the Third Ninja War a few years ago, Namikaze Minato had several records of killing dozens or even hundreds of enemies in a few seconds.

The most terrifying one was during the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, when he went to rescue his disciples after completing his mission, Namikaze Minato killed more than [-] Iwa ninjas in just three seconds. One of the major events that made Namikaze Minato famous in the ninja world.

Although when dealing with strong men of the same level, Namikaze Minato's weak lethality and defense will become quite obvious shortcomings.

But at least at this stage, there are only two strong men in the ninja world who are at the same level as Namikaze Minato. One is one of his own, and although the other is not one of his own, he is not an enemy.

As for Jiraiya, he is comprehensive and has no shortcomings. Although there is nothing too outstanding, it is a point that is difficult to target.

Without a huge gap in frontal combat power, Jiraiya would hardly be knocked down by any tactics or traps.

Just the two of them, Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya, were extremely difficult to deal with.

In addition to these two people, Konoha does not lack other top experts.

Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui shined in the war with the Kumo ninja and were considered the new generation of "legends".

Susanoo's reappearance after decades has also reminded many people of their fear of being dominated by Shura in the ninja world.

Although these two Uchiha don't look as scary as the rumored Ninja Shura, they have already begun to show their fangs.

Hatake Kakashi also grew up rapidly under the training of Namikaze Minato.

Kakashi's talent was already very outstanding, but because of the Sharingan, the amount of chakra became his biggest shortcoming, causing Kakashi to become the famous "[-]-[-]".

In the original work, Kakashi finally gained the true recognition of Obito, thus fully controlling the Sharingan, and became the real "backbone" of Konoha.

In this world, Kakashi returned the Sharingan to the Uchiha clan, picked up the sword skills of the Hatake clan again, and practiced the thunder escape that Konoha collected from various places, and embarked on a path completely different from that in the original work. Different paths.

Compared with this path and the former "Kamui-Raiki Kakashi", which one is more powerful is still open to question.

But at least in the early stage, without the shortcomings of chakra amount, Kakashi with Hatake Style + Thunder Style is obviously progressing faster than in the original work.

Perhaps the upper limit is not as good as Kamui Kakashi who has mastered Susanoo's ultimate form, but it allowed Kakashi to enter the Kage level earlier.

To a certain extent, Kakashi, who uses Hatake-style swordsmanship as his main fighting method, has a bit of the shadow of his father Hatake Shigesaku, and is known as the new generation of "Konoha White Fang".

In fact, judging from the evaluation of the chat group, Kakashi's actual combat ability has crossed the threshold of movie level, reaching a level of 55 points.

Although it is relatively weak among shadow-level players, at least it can still contain an ordinary shadow-level strong person head-on in a short period of time.

Moreover, Kakashi is still in the stage of rapid growth in strength. Once the results of this period of practice are digested through several battles, there will inevitably be a leap forward.

Of course, the premise is that he can survive the battle.

In addition to Kakashi and the two Uchiha, contemporary core members of the family such as Ino Shikacho, Hinata Hizuka, and Aburatsuzuka, although they are still a little short of the Kage level, but three or five people join forces, they can still barely make it. To contain an ordinary shadow-level person.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen, Akimichi Tofu, Maruboshi Kosuke and other older generation strong men did not join the battle immediately due to their age.

How much combat power they can retain is unknown.

But no one doubts that once Konoha is in trouble, these "veterans" will definitely become a breaking point.

This does not include the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Kushina who is "strictly protected and absolutely not allowed to fight".

The most outrageous thing is that a "foreign aid" Otsutsuki Ichiraku completely contained Kirigakure Village by himself.

No, "containment" is not the right word.

A more accurate adjective would be "suppressed."

In fact, if Fang Zhou wanted to, he could completely wipe out Kirigakure Village in a very short time.

This is also the confidence for Fangzhou and Konoha to propose a new deal.

But since Konoha has no interest in trading, Fangzhou will naturally not contribute more.

As long as the Kirigakure Village does not enter the Fire Country from the Wave Country defense line, Fangzhou will not go around chasing and killing Kirigakure.

After repelling several waves of attacks from the Mist Ninja, the latter temporarily disappeared. It is not known whether he gave up his plan to siege Konoha or had other ideas.

Fangzhou was not interested in spending points to investigate such a trivial matter. After sending some Konoha ANBU spies to investigate carefully, he stopped paying more attention.

When Fangzhou suppressed the Kirigakure Village by himself, both the Iwa Ninja and the Sand Ninja combined could not produce a top-notch strongman who could fight against Konoha.

——Even though Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others did not come to the battlefield in person in the first place.

Of course, Tsuchikage Onoki and Kazekage Rasa didn't immediately go into battle.

Although the latter led his team to the expedition, he only sat in the rear to stabilize people's hearts and existed as a "mascot" or "spiritual totem" instead of going to the battlefield in person.

Everyone knows that if the war continues and reaches a certain level, the top leaders of the three major ninja villages, as long as their combat effectiveness is acceptable, will have to fight in person.

But at least in the initial tentative stage, no one will take huge risks and go out to fight directly.

If you are ambushed by the enemy, not to mention death or capture, even if you only suffer relatively serious injuries, it may cause your own side to have a huge strategic disadvantage.

A shadow never represents more than just its own fighting power.

With all the Kages on all sides sidelined and the Mist Ninja unable to participate in the battle for a while, Konoha completely suppressed the Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja in terms of high-level combat power.

Even if the latter two immediately formed a close alliance and fought side by side, it did not change this.

Although in terms of cannon fodder and ordinary soldiers, relying on numerical superiority, the alliance of Iwa Ninja and Sand Ninja suppressed Konoha.

But if you compare the overall casualties of both sides, whether calculated in terms of numbers or percentages, the casualties of the Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja coalition forces far exceed those of Konoha.

Just for the jounin alone, in just over half a month, the Iwa ninja and the sand ninja lost more than twenty jounin in total, while Konoha only lost two.

Of course, this does not mean that at the Jonin level, Konoha's strength is ten times that of the opponent.

In fact, this is the overall advantage brought by the superiority of top combat power.

Even after using the "double" method to contain the enemy's top experts one-on-one, Konoha's high-end combat power still remains.

When Jiraiya finished his journey to the Daming Palace and arrived at the front line immediately, the "Dai Zi Tactics" became Konoha's preferred tactic.

The combined forces of the Rock Ninja and the Sand Ninja did not have a good way to break the situation and could only passively respond.

One-to-many, one-to-one, many-to-one, after completing the containment of Duiko according to the division of strength, Konoha will have at least five more strong men who are less than Kage level, but are also stronger than ordinary elite Jonin.

If still calculated according to the idea of ​​​​"Dui Zi", it is roughly equivalent to the combat power of two shadow-level people.

Of course, in terms of actual combat effectiveness, it is still slightly inferior to the two shadow-level ones.

After all, the efficiency of five "super powerful Jonin" who are less than Kage level in killing ordinary Jonin is still worse than that of Kage level, even the most ordinary Kage level.

The reason is that most jounin have no way to fight back against the latter's attack, and even have no room to resist.

As for the former, it takes more or less one and a half moves before he misses.

But no matter what, these five "super jounin" can still complete the killing of most ordinary jounin.

As long as you are targeted, there is basically no possibility of escape.

Even if the efficiency is slower, it is still bleeding the Iwa Ninja and the Sand Ninja.

It is not easy to train a Jonin.

In fact, even in Konoha, the number of Jonin is not too many, only less than 200.

The combined total of Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja is almost this number.

Even if only a single digit of jounin died after a big battle, it would already be considered a huge loss.

You know, in a Ninja World War-level war, the frequency of wars is quite high.

In just over half a month, twenty jounin were lost, which put considerable pressure on the Iwa Ninja and the Sand Ninja.

If Konoha's losses are also not small, gritting one's teeth and holding on and seeing who can't hold on first is a good idea.

At least, Ohnoki and Luo Sha were able to be so cruel before the casualties reached a preset number.

However, the Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja suffered huge losses, but Konoha's casualties were not high, which was difficult for the two to accept.

It is true that with more cannon fodder, at the chunin level, the two sides maintained roughly the same casualty rate. At the genin level, although the Iwa ninja and sand ninja had more casualties, the casualty rate was far higher. Lower than Konoha.

After all, in Konoha, which pursues an elite policy, the base number of genin and chunin is far less than that of the coalition.

——Mainly, there are fewer Iwa ninjas than the "Boryo style".

Even if five cannon fodders are exchanged for one Konoha genin or chuunin, the coalition will still make a profit.

However, cannon fodder can be recruited at any time.

Even a stronger civilian can barely use it as a genin if he is taught some basic knowledge of chakra cultivation and application, and a few tricks such as the Three Body Technique.

In fact, at the end of the past several ninja wars, cannon fodder came like this.

Training by ninja schools or ninja families alone cannot keep up with the consumption rate of war.

There will never be a shortage of cannon fodder, they can be recruited at any time, and even if the quality is lower, they can still be used.

But the combat power of Jonin and above is the core force of each village.

It can even be regarded as the foundation of a great ninja village.

Training a jounin from beginning to end takes a lot of time, not to mention the resources.

On average, even Konoha, which has the most resources and pursues an elite policy, takes more than ten years to train a jounin.

This is the time it takes to select potential seeds from genin and chunin, and then conduct "secondary training" on this basis.

If you start from scratch, it will take even more time.

The resources of Iwa Ninja and Sand Ninja are relatively scarce, and the cost of training Jonin is even higher than that of Konoha.

Not to mention, as the war continues and a large number of low-level ninjas are killed, the range of "seeds" to choose from will become smaller and smaller.

It's hard to replenish how many jounin have died.

Although in the war, there will be a large number of potential genin and chunin who, after the baptism of bloody battles, will be promoted to the jounin level.

But the amount of this kind of promotion is always less than the consumption.

Even though the two sides are still in the testing stage, the consumption of Jonin has already made the Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja feel overwhelmed.

As the number of jounin killed in battle increases, the gap between the two sides in high-end combat power will widen, further accelerating the "consumption" of jounin-level combat power and forming a vicious cycle.

If the fight continues like this, within a year, all the jonin in the two villages will be dead!

This is absolutely unacceptable to the Iwa Ninja and the Sand Ninja.

No matter how great the advantage is at the cannon fodder level, once the high-end combat power is lost, there will never be a chance to turn around.

After some discussion, Onoki and Luo Sha aimed at a higher level to break the game.
