Naruto's caged bird

Chapter 74: Autumn of the 32nd Year of Konoha

The strong autumn wind in the 32nd year of Konoha made Konoha dry, yellow, mature and fertile.

The country-destroying war many years ago endowed the land at the foot of the Grass Country with rich nutrients, which gave rise to the vibrant grass, grassland, and Grass Country today.

Stepping on the soft turf underfoot, this country that had been destroyed during World War I once again experienced killings. Fortunately, the Country of Grass, which was swinging between the two great powers at this time, was only coveted by the Country of Rain this time. Kusa, who remained neutral, got the support of the ninja from the ally Fire Country as a blessing in disguise, and gave the surrounding powers an excuse to attack the Rain Country.

Do we need an excuse for war?

"No need", but if there is, of course no one will use it, and who cares about standing on the side of justice?

The Konoha ninja army on the northern route supported the ally of the Kingdom of Grass and eliminated the rain ninja in the Kingdom of Grass.

Today's Hatake Sakumo finally showed his strength to become a legendary ninja in the future in front of many ninjas of the Konoha Ninja Army. The speed and the white light seemed to be what he saw.

Half, relying on the speed advantage of his own thunder-type ninjutsu, he is the "forward" of the team. Under the perceptive correction of Hatake Sakumo by his disciple Hyuga Hizashi Byakugan, the rain ninjas who invaded the Land of Grass were basically eliminated.

Hizashi rubbed his overused eyes, and once again experienced the fun of commanding his teammates in a team battle by "opening the whole map". It’s been years since I played RPGs, and my eyes hurt a little when I played a few RPGs in a row.

As the leader of the North Route Konoha Ninja Army, Hatake Sakumo, after a brief meeting with the other party's daimyo and acquaintance Dr. Midori, led Konoha's ninja troops towards the Land of Rain. You must break into the Kingdom of Rain and gain a foothold before it gets dark, so that you can occupy the corresponding checkpoints and wait for the attack from the Kingdom of Earth.

At least at this time, the ninjas of the three major ninja countries participating in the war have not really contacted and attacked each other. Because at this time, they were still using the slogan of "punishing the Kingdom of Rain for taking the lead in launching a war" and leading the righteous army to invade openly.

The night before.

When Hizashi finally stepped from the land of the Land of Grass into this sticky wetland, the air seemed to be filled with a damp smell.

It's just a late arrival, and the rain here seems to have become sticky. There was a layer of mist in the sky, and combined with the buildings of the Kingdom of Rain that were filled with steel and water pipes, it was like returning to the steam age of foggy London. The humidity here makes Konoha ninjas who are used to the warm climate of Konoha, the Land of Fire, feel extremely uncomfortable.

The rain fell on my head right after I stepped out.

Hizashi, who was accustomed to being cautious, opened his eyes and looked at the air and land that already belonged to the enemy country. Enemies ambush are in front, on both sides, in the rain, in... the battle is about to begin.

Autumn of the thirty-second year of Konoha.

The Kingdom of Rain, which has outstanding combat power in the country, has the ambition to become the sixth largest country. During this harvest season, it sent its own Rain Ninja troops to attack the wealthy Kingdom of Grass. The leader of the rain ninja, the demigod Sanshouyu Hanzo, not only has the ambition to directly annex the Kingdom of Grass if the big country ignores it, but also has the desire to use the power of war to achieve his wish to become the Sixth Shadow.

Even if the plan fails, it seems that he can still retreat to the defense of the Rain Country, which is so angry. It is hoped that relying on the home field advantage of the Kingdom of Rain, it can defend the attacks of the big countries like the terrifying "blood mist" of the Kingdom of Water.

But he miscalculated. He overestimated his Rain Ninja troops, and also underestimated the great power's courage to launch a war.

Originally, Hanzo thought that all countries would implement "appeasement policies" to maintain a comfortable peace and avoid participating in war for the sake of rare peace. But he didn't want to attract simultaneous attacks from the three surrounding countries.

The three major powers did not unite to attack the wild Rain Country like the "Anti-French Alliance". Instead, they domineeringly chose to use the Land of Rain as the battlefield to fight on their own, and show off the strength of their great nation to the ninja world while avoiding local battles.

At this moment, the Kingdom of Rain is almost "surrounded by enemies on all sides."

Demigod Hanzo correctly judged that the conflicts between the great powers would not join forces, but he overestimated the strength of the rain ninja who was like a frog in a well. Even if the ninja armies of the three major countries were scattered and attacking each other, it was still not something that the Rain Country, which relied on its local advantages, could compete with.

To the north, another neighbor of the Grass Ninja, the Great Land Country, is also attacking within the Land of Rain.

In this war, the Earth Kingdom sent a large number of Iwa Ninja troops all the way to the Rain Ninja Village. In an attempt to take advantage of the attributes of ninjutsu and rely on the suppression of water escape by earth escape, he directly attacked and occupied the land of the Kingdom of Rain.

All the rain ninja's defenses turned into shrapnel flying in the explosion in front of the Earth Kingdom with its demolition troops. The walls and steel drainage pipes of the underground underground area roared like an exploding tank after a clay bomb was thrown into it.

The rain ninja's ninjutsu has almost no high-intensity defensive means, and he was completely restrained when faced with the solid earth escape ninjutsu.

"Escape, split the earth, turn your palm...bang"

The rain ninja's water escape was like a huge wave facing a rock on the sea, being knocked apart by himself.

At this time, the shrewd and conservative Third Tsuchikage also discovered the enemy from behind when he attacked. The Tsuchikage Onoki, who is still in charge of the Earth Kingdom, has assembled troops to prepare for the danger from the east.

But the funny thing is that it is the conservative war performance of the entire Earth Kingdom that has become an easy target for bullying in front of the strong barbarians in the northeast. They gave up the attack on Konoha, which had elites emerging, and finally chose the Earth Kingdom, which was gradually showing its weakness on the battlefield of the Rain Kingdom, "insufficient in offense and more than adequate in defense" as the target of invasion.

At the same time, the Kingdom of Wind, which has the largest territory in the ninja world, has divided its forces into two groups and invaded the Kingdom of Rain. Old rivals like Chiyo Ebizo and others led a large number of Sand Ninja Poison Master and Puppet Master troops to attack the Rain Ninja Village.

Chiyo, the "Gigma" who has fought against her for many years, is also a master of poison. The water in the place where she appears cannot be drunk, even the rootless water that falls from the sky. Everything in this dark land of rain is full of murderous intent.

In front of him, Chiyo opened the bottle in his hand and exposed it to the rain. Then, the red rain seemed to bring a little green. Even the sand ninjas who were accustomed to masking their faces began to retreat from the area.

"Uh-huh... poisonous."

The rain ninja, who was accustomed to opening his mouth to eat sweet gifts from nature when he was thirsty, finally tasted the consequences. This land where Rain Ninja was once at home seems to have become unsafe now.

"Click, click, click, click."

The sound of the puppet's movements was still sharp and harsh despite the continuous heavy rain. The mechanical and rigid sound that did not belong to nature was terrifying and terrifying in this dark night. The puppets with special water release feel extremely comfortable in the rain. Facing the weak rain ninja, they are really "like a fish in water".

Sand Ninja Village, which has been hostile to Konoha, the most powerful country in the ninja world for many years, also has its own powerful strength. Another more powerful ninja army was led by the third-generation Kazekage, known as the strongest, with one jinchuriki to the east of the Land of Rain to fight the third-generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen of Konoha.

"Magnetic Release Sand Iron Stone Rain" The ninja of the rain ninja saw for the first and last time that there was black "rain".

The Third Kazekage looked at the dark steel drainage pipes and buildings that looked like the "Steam Age". It seemed like a very suitable place for him to fight against the Third Hokage of Konoha, who was known as the "Ninja Hero".

When faced with the strongest Third Kazekage, the rain ninja's defense was as fragile as the drenching rain. Those metal pipes that were magnetized after being hit by his sand iron buzzed under the influence of his magnetic escape, emitting a mournful cry of desire for battle.

“Bang buzz, choke~~”

The pipe originally used for drainage was instantly lifted up by his magnetic escape, pulling the tiles on the roof and broken walls into the air. The owners of the houses, which had been relatively peaceful for twenty years except for the noisy sound of rain, were all exposed to the rain and shurikens in the dark night at this moment.

In the third generation Kazekage's longing eyes, the torrent of steel penetrated hard...

He reached out and touched...

The year-round rain that the people of the Rain Country hate is exactly the water resource that the Wind Country, which has the largest land area but the least habitable area, longs for. For this reason, he even brought the giant war beast "Tailed Beast".

If we occupy this land...

The Kingdom of Wind with drought, desert, and poisonous sun, the Kingdom of Rain that combines the rain, rivers, and moisture in front of you... The third generation Kazekage seems to have seen his dream of leading the Kingdom of Wind to grow.

He opened his arms and raised his head to welcome the bearer, letting the rain beat like sand on his face that had been dry and cracked for many years, as if the dirt had been reincarnated.

The sand ninja looked at the "strongest third generation" Kazekage in front of them, worshiping, getting lost, imitating, and opening their arms to nourish him.

"Phew, it feels so good."
