Chapter 44 The Spider of the Dark Earth

The spring of the 36th year of the Konoha calendar can be described as an eventful autumn, and the battle situation on the battlefield is really changing rapidly. ([Turn the table] Is it spring or autumn!!)

Due to Yan Ninja's unreasonable playing of cards, the Kingdom of the Wind was threatened from the north.As a last resort, part of the troops staying at the front line of the Fire Nation must return to defense.And this also caused the sand ninja troops in the land of fire to drop a lot, giving Konoha a chance to counterattack.

The new battlefield was not chosen by Konoha, but by Sand Ninja.Sand Ninja's new camp was located on the border of the Nation of Fire, and they found a place where they could advance, attack, retreat, and defend.But Konoha is not very happy. The meaning of sand ninja is very clear. It is okay to fight, but the battlefield must be in the country of fire. It's best if you can't recover.

It is precisely because Sand Ninja has such a mentality that Konoha dare not go to war at will, for fear that he will accidentally destroy several important towns on the border, and the country of fire will suffer the loss.But anyway, now Sand Ninja is just standing on the border and staring at it. Under internal and external troubles, Sand Ninja dare not make any big moves if he wants to come, so let him go.

It's a pity that Konoha thinks of beauty, but the reality is cruel.Nearly [-] people in Sand Ninja stop at the border, so they can't just sit around and eat and sleep all day long, right?

Under Konoha's passive defense, Sand Ninja Bailai formed a large group and took turns to surprise Konoha's defense line.It can be said that they swarmed up and scattered, each time they did not get entangled with Konoha's troops for too long, and rushed into Konoha's line in a sharp formation, smashed down a bunch of ninjutsu, turned around and left.

Relying on this tactic alone brought Sand Ninja an objective record in the early stage.

Konoha laid out a formation of long snakes, which stretched a line of defense far away. As long as the sand ninjas were found to be attacking, the long snakes could flexibly attack from head to tail and surround the attacking sand ninja troops.There is not much problem with this arrangement. After all, with Konoha's white eyes, he can sense the enemy's actions very early and make combat deployments.

It's a pity that Sand Ninja has a jammer like a cloud. Once the universe in the palm is used, it makes Konoha's white eyes become real white eyes, and the eyes are blind. It is said that the enemy has been spotted, and it will take a lot of time just to prevent dizziness.

After the Hyuga Clan can get used to it a little bit, even if they don't roll their eyes, they can see Sand Ninja's people rushing in front of them with their naked eyes.It was too late to send out the signal for help at this time, and Sand Shinobi didn't like to fight, just destroyed a pass at will, so he turned around and left without hesitation.

It doesn't matter once or twice. After all, this kind of guerrilla harassment tactic of firing a shot and leaving immediately is nothing more than destroying the defense line, burning some luggage, injuring more than a dozen people, and unfortunately killing one or two Chunin. For Ye, it doesn't pose much of a threat.

But I can't stand the number of times, Sand Shinobi seems to be determined to use this guerrilla tactics in turns, sending out one after another brigade to harass 24 hours a day.The people in Konoha can only stay on their posts with great energy and dare not relax at all. If the defense line is broken and decapitated because of a nap, there is really no place to cry.

After two days and one night, Sand Ninja paid almost no price, but most of Konoha's defense lines were broken, and by the way, about [-]% of the luggage was destroyed, and a dozen lives were lost.It can be said that it was a small victory, and Konoha had to swallow it bitterly.

However, this tactic was no longer used after that. The first reason is that Yun, who was the biggest supporter of this tactic, was already tired and lay down. The mental power has reached its limit, and was carried back to the tent by the scorpion, and forced to rest; the second reason is that Konoha also responded, abandoning the large-scale protection line of the long snake, but gathered together Putting up a ox horn array, the two ox horns let Jiraiya and Da Shemaru lead most of the Jonin to sit in the guard respectively, which made Sand Ninja's guerrilla harassment tactics useless.

At this time, if you still insist on it, it will really be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and Konoha will come to catch the turtle in the urn.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————

Konoha knows that Sand Ninja's current strength is a little less than his own. As an attacker, it is impossible to cause too much damage to Konoha with this strength, so after the Third Hokage discussed with the village consultant A decision was made to bring back some of the Jnin and Chunnin from the frontline troops.

The current Kingdom of Fire is in a state of ruins, and has been robbed and destroyed by Sand Ninja, Iwanin, and Cloud Ninja successively. Many towns, mines, and business routes have been completely destroyed.Except for the circle around Muye Village, which is still well preserved, other places are really in dire straits.In such a situation where foreign enemies are kept out of the country, self-rescue is still the top priority in the country.

In any case, Konoha Village must give some privileges to the Nation of Fire that supports itself.

Ever since, after the retreat of troops on both sides occurred, the situation on both sides became delicate again.

Sand Ninja originally had more than 8000 people on the front line. In the spring of this year, more than 1 people were transferred from the village. Unfortunately, Iwa Ninja gave a hand to them, and nearly 3000 people died. The back and forth battles consumed more than 1000 people. , This time, there are 3000 people returning to Fangfeng Country. After adding, subtracting and subtracting fractions, Sand Ninja has only about 1 combatable troops, which is already all the troops that Sand Ninja can produce. (including ninjas of various categories)

The situation in Konoha was not much better. First, they were caught off guard by the coalition forces of the two villages of Sandstone, and many ninjas were killed on the border; Many people died; not long ago, nearly 2000 people were annihilated by Sand Ninja’s tactics of using Jinzhuli and traps; although Iwanin’s retreat emptied the troops in the north, some ninjas still had to stay to deal with the possibility of cloud ninja The attack that appears; the east side should also be careful of the attack that may appear at any time by the fog ninja; and then assign the guards of various cities in the country of fire.After removing the wounded and so on, Konoha's combat power in the west is only more than 1 available.

There is no way to send more than 3000 Chunin and some Jōnin back to China for reconstruction work. We can’t let the production of the whole country be paralyzed and wait for this war to end, right?Now the output of the Kingdom of Fire is almost close to zero, and there is a large financial deficit. If this continues, the Kingdom of Fire will disintegrate first without the invasion of other countries.

After the 7000 unimportant Chunin were transferred away, Konoha still had [-] people left on the western front, and the combat power had only dropped a little.Ten thousand against seven thousand, one side is attacking, the other side is defending, and the protracted battle has begun.



It is said to be a protracted war, and it is really long-lasting. It was from the spring of the 36th year of the Konoha calendar to the autumn. Both sides won and lost each other, and the casualties of the troops were still huge. Konoha also reduced the number of people to 5000. This is still taking advantage of the defenders to survive so many people.Compared with the single-player quality of ninjas, Konoha's ninjas are not as good as sand ninjas cultivated in the harsh environment of the desert.

After nearly half a year of fighting, the two sides have long been familiar with each other's tactics and celebrities, and many new generation masters have also gained fame in this process.

For example, the young patriarch of the Konoha Uchiha clan (Uchiha Fuyue), the brothers of the Hyuga family (Hyuga Hizuzu and Hyuga Hizashi), and the new generation of pigs and butterflies (Yamanaka Kaiichi, Akido Dingza, Nara Shikahisa) , the young patriarch of the Yume family (Yurue Zhiwei), of course, has no background, and Namikaze Minato, who worked hard on the grassroots, also performed well on the battlefield (it is said that Namikaze Minato is Jiraiya's apprentice, but it is a pity that Sand Ninja No information on this).

Sand Shinobi is a little weaker here, only Yanhong, Jinzhu Rikaun and Yunxie brothers who use placer gold are famous.

In fact, it’s funny to say that at the beginning, due to lack of information, Konoha was not sure which sand ninja master was able to use the universe in the palm, and even until the summer, it was completely unclear which sand ninja A high-ranking person can block Konoha's eyes. (The Hyuga Clan has already issued a death order and must find out who is the sand ninja who used what kind of ninjutsu to break the function of the white eyes, but unfortunately there is not enough information)

After fighting for more than four months, when even the title of Scorpion, the Red Sand Scorpion, was named, Yun was still unknown. Except for Sand Ninja, Konoha had no idea that there was such a person as Yun. It can be said that "Yun, are you possessed by Heizi?" (Hey, did something strange get in here?)

But gold always shines.On the front line of sand ninja, apart from Ebino who is looking at the overall situation, the only one who can know how to use tactical layout flexibly in wartime is Yun who specializes in this aspect. (Other sand ninja elders are relatively good at politics, and the tactical layout can only be said to be too ordinary to be ordinary)

After successfully using temporary traps to lure Konoha ninjas in and annihilate them several times, Yun's reputation began to gradually come out. (It is mainly the information obtained from the torture of some prisoners of sand ninja. Konoha's intelligence system also matured in such intelligence warfare)

The existence that has never been conspicuous in the crowd and will be ignored by people has gradually become the most attention-grabbing existence in the crowd. There is no way, Konoha is confused and lacks information. At least hundreds of people have fallen into Yun's scheme. It’s getting to the point where it’s no longer possible not to pay attention. (It was also at this time that Konoha began to cultivate his own tactical layout talents, which is how Nara Shikahisa was trained)

Yun, who has the palm of his hand as a means of sensing, will not be weaker than anyone in terms of the overall situation. Coupled with the tactical layout and trap setting, Yun has done an excellent job of controlling people's hearts, knowing when to withdraw, When to chase.As long as the other party does not have someone with comparable intelligence, Yun believes that it is only a matter of time before this war is won.

At the beginning of autumn and when the temperature began to drop slowly, Yun's reputation was well known to everyone in the Konoha Army. It is expected that the intelligence department should have placed a piece of information about Yun on the desk of the Third Hokage , and the A-level dangerous key hostile target attached below.

Of course, every powerful person will always be crowned with a resounding title, especially the title given by the opponent is a symbol of ability.

And Konoha gave Yun and Xie a very high evaluation.A year ago, shortly after Scorpion stepped onto the battlefield, his puppetry had already begun to emerge. When Yun was still unknown, Konoha already knew that Sand Ninja, the red-haired boy, was an extremely difficult character to deal with.The red sand ninja scorpion, this is the title given to the scorpion by Konoha. Whenever the scorpion commands two puppets to fight with the Konoha ninja, the opponent will always say "So it is the red sand scorpion".

Although it is far from reaching Konoha Baiya's intimidating power that makes people tremble when the name is mentioned, at least Xiaoxie Baozi's talent and ability have been recognized by both the enemy and us. (In fact, it’s just knowing the name, just like Sasuke at the beginning, everyone only knows that he is Itachi’s younger brother and the last member of the Uchiha clan, but no one really takes his strength seriously)

And when Yun's reputation came out, Konoha realized that his information was so far behind. He had already found out about Xie, but he didn't pay attention to Xie's unknown brother.

Combining the title of Scorpion of Red Sand and Yuna's unique ability, Konoha's ninjas specially named Yuna Spider of Dark Earth, so as to point out Yuna's trick that no one can learn so far. Huanyu and Yunyun have extremely strong layout capabilities.

From the moment you step into the spider web of the dark earth, your life is already in the calculation of the spider.

It can be seen from the comments that in the eyes of the Konoha ninjas, Xie is just a relatively potential puppet master at present, and the degree of attention is not as high as Yun.And Yun, who was only eight years old, had already been listed as an important guard by Konoha.

In this way, as you come and go, the winter of the 36th year of the Konoha calendar begins to approach, and it also declares that the war in this year can be eased, and everyone is relieved.
