Chapter 107 How many floors can a bag of rice carry?

"An unknown violent explosion occurred in the Sand Village"

"A large tree grew in the Senju mansion in Konoha. It was the work of the young clan leader, Kotobuki Mitsuha. He declared that he would rebuild the Senju clan."

"The words that Sunagakure Hagura once publicly confessed have become popular among all major countries. It is rumored that the Snow Country is going to make a movie about it. The name of the movie is..."

In the combat command room, Jiraiya, who was on night duty, was reading a newspaper in his hand. This was a newspaper issued by black market vendors, but it was published a month ago. Thanks to his teacher's order to eliminate the black market, there was no trace of the black market in the Land of Fire and the area occupied by the Rain Ninja of Konoha. He could only read the newspaper published a month ago to relieve his boredom.
After all, this was a war that had been going on for almost four years, and he was a little tired of it.

But the good news is that news came from the rear that last month, Mitsuha Takanashi successfully uncovered the conspiracy of the Sand Village. It turned out that the old woman Chiyo intended to analyze Tsunade Senju's medication habits, and then formulate an antidote that would become ineffective under certain circumstances, in order to trick Konoha.

And his teacher, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to tell Salamander Hanzo the news in advance.

This plan has already been implemented a few days ago.
Now, he is waiting for the Sand Village to send someone to tell them about this, and then they will pretend to prepare for war. At that time, the Sand Village will most likely relax their vigilance, and Salamander Hanzo should seize the opportunity to attack the Sand Village fiercely, making them suffer the consequences.

Of course, that's it.

One side is prepared, the other side has the foundation, and it is estimated that both sides will suffer losses in the end.

However, the war will most likely end, with the Rain Country giving up its previous territories, or even more, and then lingering on, with the three major countries dividing up the profits spit out by the Rain Country.

The biggest reason why Hanzo of the Salamander can roam the battlefield is his poison, and the formula of his poison cannot be changed. As a result, the anti-toxins will continue to increase and iterate. Eventually, Hanzo of the Salamander will no longer be able to rely on the poison that spreads throughout the battlefield to achieve the goal of stopping the attack.

This is also the reason why Hanzo of the Salamander wants to fight another battle even though he knows he will lose.

After all, the biggest difference between ninja wars and battles between ordinary people is that the battles between ninjas do not care about territory, or in fact, they do not care about bases. Everything revolves around the ninjas themselves.

The base is only to increase the combat radius of the ninja, and to provide a place for rest, eating, sleeping and treatment.

In fact, he had discovered when he traveled to various countries that the so-called national borders were nonsense.

The national border is only within the radiation range of the ninja.

If you are strong, your radiation range will be larger. If you are weak, your radiation range will be more cautious. The only things you can really control are the ninja villages and several large cities in various countries.
Therefore, ninja wars are usually based on the elimination of ninjas.

The war ends when one side can no longer hold on or when both sides are unwilling to fight anymore.

The reason why Hanzo of the Salamander was able to fight against the three villages for four years was not only because the environment of the Rain Country was harsh, which gave the Rain Ninjas enough strategic depth, but also because he left behind a huge poisonous zone in every battle, which made the ninjas from all sides dare not launch an attack easily. After all, the antidote can only detoxify once, and if you inhale the poisonous mist again, you will still be poisoned.

Now, he could only gain more benefits in the subsequent negotiations if he hurt one of the villages before the day when his poison completely lost its effect.

However, he, the Toad Ninja Jiraiya felt that the Salamander Hanzo was just struggling.

Ninja, why are you fighting for territory, or rather, for radiation range?
Because a larger radiation range can bring more resources, and more resources can cultivate more population and more ninjas. This is a positive cycle.

The reason why the five major countries can stand firm is that each of them has a stable base and stable inheritance.

The Land of Rain only has one Hanzo, who is already in his forties and has entered the late peak of a ninja. As his strength continues to decline, it is conceivable that the Land of Rain will further shrink and become sluggish, and eventually become half-dead like other small ninja villages, completely losing its threat to the five major countries.
"Wow, wow, wow."

"It's really annoying, it's raining again"

Suddenly, Jiraiya's eyes became fierce. Having fought with the Rain Village for four years, he was too familiar with their fighting style. When rain containing chakra suddenly fell from the sky, it meant that the enemy's ninja troops were using the Rain Tiger Jutsu.

A perception ninjutsu that can roughly sense the number of enemy personnel within the range of heavy rain.
In other words, the Rain Ninja was actually planning to continue attacking them?

Attack their base camp?

Don't they know that Konoha's base camp is protected by a barrier? Even poison can't penetrate it. Konoha's ninjas can go in and out to rest, while the enemy ninjas can only watch.
"The perception team reports that a large amount of chakra reaction is approaching our base camp at a constant speed."

"Baiyan team reports that the chakra reactions are all humanoid, and the amount of chakra is uneven. This is not a clone jutsu, but a real large force."

In the combat command room, each team began to report intelligence.

Tsunade looked at the markings on the map with a frown on her face.

"Is their current route an attempt to have a head-on confrontation?"

Head-on confrontation is an extremely rare battle in ninja combat. Generally speaking, the mode of warfare between ninjas is more like taking one step at a time, constantly expanding sub-bases forward to provide ninjas with a larger combat radius, eroding the opponent's ninjas, and approaching the opponent's base camp step by step.

Therefore, attacking the enemy's base camp is something that one side will do only when they have an absolute advantage. After all, you don't know what is hidden in the enemy's base camp. It's good to win in a single battle, but what if you get ambushed? That's not just a matter of a wild encounter and a few squads dying.
Even in the ninja world, there is such a saying
In an encounter battle, one day is fought for a year, and in a camp assault battle, one day is fought for a year.

The former means that if it is an outdoor encounter, because they can be circumvented, the people trained in one day can fight for a year slowly, while the latter is just the opposite. The ninjas who have been trained hard for a year can die in a day in a battle to charge the camp.
"The issue is"

Orochimaru licked his lips.

"What were the Rain Ninja thinking? They knew we were ready, but they still chose us instead of the weaker Sand Ninja."

"Except there's only one possibility."

Jiraiya took a slow breath.

"Hanzo Salamander has absolute confidence. He has had a trump card that he has not used all along."

"But why should this trump card be used on us?"

Tsunade was still a little confused. She knew more about politics, but when it came to commanding a war, she admitted that she was not as good as Jiraiya and Orochimaru, especially Jiraiya. He seemed to have a keen sense of smell in war, even better than Orochimaru. "Because, we are the strongest."

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I guess, Hanzo of the Salamander also seems to know that he will lose, so he wants to concentrate his forces to defeat the strongest Konoha and prove to the outside world how powerful the Rain Ninja is."

"Besides, Iwagakure is the least intense of the three fronts, because earth escape will be naturally restrained when encountering water, so after they pushed back to the rain boundary, they basically did not move much. The second is Sand Village, because Sand Village is also good at poison, and puppets are not afraid of poison. Only we, although powerful, are all flesh and blood. If he wants to fight a battle to restore his reputation, we are still the best choice."

"It seems that the teacher made a mistake."

Orochimaru couldn't help but lick his lips.

"I can't blame the teacher. After more than three years of fighting, their battle line has shrunk, but he was able to hold back and not use it. To be honest, I even suspect that he only got this trump card recently."

"Whatever happens, prepare to fight."

Tsunade took a deep breath.

"Fortunately, the information sent back by Mitsuha also included the mobilization and proportion of Sand Village's medicinal materials. This month, we have managed to prepare an antidote. It's a pity that it hasn't been pelletized yet, so it can only be stored in a potion bottle."

"enough."

Jiraiya grabbed the short-range communicator in his hand.

"Seal Squad, activate the True Defense Barrier."

"Communications Brigade, go deep into various areas and maintain smooth communications."

"Attention all units, after leaving the barrier, form a unit of three people, and keep a distance of thirty meters between each other. Three groups of three will form a team, and support each other."

And, a moment later, Jiraiya, who had a sudden inspiration, issued another order.
"All units, be prepared to evacuate the base camp at any time."

As Jiraiya gave the order, a huge curtain of light instantly rose up, illuminating the night sky and the Rain Country Ninja troops in the darkness.

However, the ninja unit led by Hanzo Salamander did not seem to have any intention of hiding, and they did not even split up their forces. Instead, they just marched in a brazen manner and came dozens of meters away from the defensive barrier that Konoha had spent a lot of manpower and resources to build.

"Godfather, I can start anytime."

On the side, Nagato took a deep breath and said to Hanzo of the Salamander.

"nervous?"

Hanzo of the Salamander looked at Nagato. In a month, the Sand Village seemed to be regrouping, and Konoha seemed to be making big moves as well. Hearing that the Senju clan was recruiting again, he was not idle either. In this month, all the good things in the Rain Village, various rare medicinal materials, and secret medicines for nourishing the body were thrown at Nagato, so that in this month, Nagato grew to nearly 1.8 meters tall, and his weight increased from the previous pitiful 30 kilograms to 70 kilograms like a balloon.

To be honest, he was a little worried that something might be wrong with Nagato's health.

But what can I say, the physical fitness of the Uzumaki clan is really not exaggerated. If it were an ordinary person, he would be dead, but with him, he is in great health and enjoys everything he eats.

"I'm not nervous, but, godfather, after I use this move, I guess I won't have any chance in this battle."

"That's enough."

Salamander Hanzo raised the corner of his mouth slightly. The base camp was his favorite. The more people gathered, the more he loved it.
"Go."

"Ah."

Nagato formed seals with his hands, and with a "poof" sound, something appeared from the spirit world, but it seemed as if there was nothing. Then, this thing wrapped around Nagato's body, causing him to disappear from everyone's sight.

Then, his body slowly floated up and silently floated to the top of the barrier.

"Ninja of Konoha, feel the pain"

"Super Shinra Tenzheng!"

The resounding voice spread across the entire battlefield like a broadcast.

At that moment, almost all the chakra in Nagato's body was drained out, and even his body weighing more than 70 kilograms shrunk a lot in that instant.

Then, a white light gushed out from his body and formed a ball of light.

The light ball instantly spread and hit the barrier below it.
"Creak~~"

"Creak~~"

The harsh friction sound spread throughout the battlefield, followed by the sound of cracks spreading.
After a stalemate of three seconds, the huge barrier finally collapsed, and all the fragments of the barrier fell like glass.
Then, the huge white light curtain continued to spread.
Wherever it passed, all matter was completely crushed and pushed away.
However, perhaps the barrier absorbed most of the power.
Perhaps he is too young to unleash the true power of the Samsara Eye.
The light curtain spread out to a range of about fifty meters before it lost its strength and dissipated between heaven and earth.
"Pfft~"

In mid-air, Nagato, who was almost exhausted, stuffed a Bingliang pill into his mouth, and then quickly formed a seal to summon a big bird. After his body landed on it, the big bird flew high and flew towards the direction of the Rain Ninja.
"Rain ninja, everyone obeys the order!"

Salamander Hanzo had already summoned his own summoned beast, Salamander Ibushi.

"Joint Ninjutsu·Ninjutsu·Super·Rainstorm Needle!"

Following the command of Hanzo, the salamander under his feet sprayed a thick poisonous cloud in front of him. Then, all the heavy rain in the sky turned sideways under the control of the rain ninja, passed through the poisonous fog, and turned into poisonous rain, shooting towards the Konoha base camp that had lost its barrier. The range was so wide that it almost covered the entire camp.
However, it was precisely because of Jiraiya's impromptu order that all the ninjas in the base camp, except for the sealing squad hiding underground, had left the coverage of the poisonous rain one after another, and quickly deployed their formations, spreading out over the entire battlefield, and like a net, enveloping the thousands of rain ninjas.
