Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 66 Kick out Sand Hidden Village first

As a leader, Orochimaru was very busy and had many unavoidable social activities. After saying a few words to Aburame Tetsumaru, he hurriedly left.

After sending Orochimaru away, Aburame Tetsumaru slipped out and grabbed some snacks, then sipped the wine and slowly ate the snacks. As expected, the foodie's way of drinking is the most suitable for him, treating the wine as a taste rather than

Just drink.

After drinking too much, his thoughts began to wander. Aburame Tetsumaru began to think randomly, but slowly he focused on the upcoming war.

It was the first time in my life that I participated in a war, and I fought for more than four years at a stretch. The war in Europe was almost over, but here we are still struggling and the future is uncertain.

Yes, in Aburame Tetsumaru's view, the Kingdom of Wind and the Sand Ninja are about to fall, but that doesn't mean the war is about to end.

In fact, Konoha is the enemy of the whole world. After defeating the Sand Ninja, there are still two more powerful enemies to deal with. As for the Water Kingdom committing suicide, there is no need to consider it at all.

Earth and Thunder have a profound background, and their leaders are cunning and careful to preserve their national power. The war strength they have preserved now is very strong. If these two families join forces to deal with Konoha, today's Konoha Village may really not be able to win. Fortunately, the two of them

Families are feuds that cannot meet each other, and there is no possibility of joining hands.

The above is the opinion of the Konoha ninjas, but it is not the opinion of Aburame Tetsumaru. On the contrary, he feels that the Konoha ninjas are selectively blind.

Do you really not know that things in the world are fickle, especially when politics only talks about interests and not about hatred? Last year, didn't the Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja just pinch each other and the Rain Ninja violently pinch Konoha at the same time?

Sitting in the core territory of the mainland and monopolizing Tianyuan's position, Konoha cannot defeat two major enemies at the same time. It is tantamount to placing its own fate in the hands of the enemy. This embarrassing situation in Konoha is probably only seen by time travellers.

clear.

This is not because of Tetsumaru Aburame's great vision, but because of the great historical education he received and the great civilization disguised as a country in his previous life.

That great nation has been divided, reunified, prospered, and declined. It can go through anything and everything has been experienced repeatedly, and it has been carefully recorded. As long as you can understand that great history, you can see through the situation of the ninja world at a glance.

Konoha's predicament today is because of its decline. This responsibility lies with the Sandaime Hokage. It was caused by his inability to solve the fragmented situation within Konoha and to unify all the forces of Konoha.

Before the war, the power of the Hokage was not the absolute strongest among the Konoha villagers, but the opposition was pitted against each other through various means, creating a situation where the Hokage was relatively the strongest.

After the war started, this became a huge hidden danger. The power that the Hokage could mobilize was not strong enough, so he was even more reluctant to use it, fearing that excessive consumption would lead to the loss of his relatively strongest position.

Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to be possessed by the chairman. He talked about the spirit of fire, the courage to sacrifice and protect the seedlings, but in action he just threw all the students into the battlefield, using this as a reason to constantly force the opposition to use their strength.

As the war became increasingly tense, in order to mobilize more ninjas, the Hokage also tacitly allowed Shimura Danzo to use quick success and quick profit methods to speed up the mobilization.

This method of injuring oneself eight hundred times before attacking the enemy is the same as the Seven Injury Fist. Every time one part of strength is mobilized, two additional parts of the overall strength are lost, resulting in a rapid depletion of Konoha Village's strength and finally reaching today's predicament.

Fortunately, after the baptism of war, the older generation was gradually squeezed out. Today, the leaders of the Kawakuni Army are all the younger generation of White Fang and Sannin. As for the Hokage assistants, they are really just assistants.

The Second Ninja World staggered into its sixth year. Medium Ninja Villages such as Hoshi Ninja Village and Taki Ninja Village withdrew one after another, and some were completely destroyed like Kusanagi Ninja Village.

Only the six strongest families of the Ninja Village who insisted on participating in the war were left, and they were all exhausted. They stared at their enemies with wide, bloodshot eyes, wondering why they could still persist.

The last six countries also have different backgrounds. The gap between them may be wider than the gap between small countries and big countries. Some countries have great potential and just need to take a breath, while some countries are already taking their last breath.

The Kingdom of Rain has been repeatedly torn apart by the four countries, and its citizens have been displaced. Five years of war and three years of no harvest have caused the entire country to collapse.

After another battle with the Sannin of Konoha, Hanzo finally felt tired and exhausted. His fighting power was still strong. The Sannin quickly became stronger but was far from his opponent. However, there were almost no Rain ninja left in the Amegakure village he was guarding.

.

The stubborn and strongest ninja in the world finally accepted his fate. After the New Year, he submitted a truce to the four countries of Fire, Earth, Wind, and Iron. He retreated back to Yuyin Village and never came out again, posing as if he was lying on his back.

The Kingdom of Wind is also finished. It can still hold on without showing its defeat on the battlefield, but the ninjas are starting to starve. It is too fatal not to be self-sufficient in food, especially during the war, when they need to purchase food from outside, they can do it with their heels.

Think about how miserable this is.

Both Konoha and Iwagakure took advantage of this weakness to bully Sunagakure. They sealed tightly to prevent food from flowing into the Country of Wind. They also organized raiding forces behind enemy lines to attack oases that produced food as their priority targets.

The Kingdom of Water attacked on all sides, but was blocked on all sides. It was unable to break through after repeated fierce battles. It paid a huge price, but failed to gain benefits from the outside.

After the failure of the foreign war, the internal conflicts became more and more acute, and the internal divisions reached a new height due to the crazy involution, and the civil war was only one spark away.

The only countries that have the ability to project troops are the three kingdoms of Earth, Thunder, and Fire. They are eyeing each other, and each of them is cleaning up the rear to prepare for the decisive battle in the coming year.

Konoha and Iwagakure's goals are Sunagakure Village. They plan to kick out the Country of Wind first so that they can concentrate on dealing with each other.

In this context, victory in the war has become the highest demand. In addition, the performance of Konoha's top management has been really poor in the past few years. No one can tolerate losers continuing to be in power. Orochimaru finally got the chance to take over.

At this point, the first-line commanders of the participating countries have all been replaced by young ninjas, and the older generation have all retreated to the second line.

Two great wars broke out in the ninja world, and the ninja world finally completed the handover of military command.

The main reason is that the three generations of Kage in power were all born in the Warring States Period and learned war in family wars involving dozens and hundreds of people. The knowledge of the old era blinded their eyes. It is difficult for these senior officials to understand that the form of war has changed. Habitual

The war was organized according to the style of the Warring States Period, and the fight was sticky and sluggish.

This is the so-called intellectual disability.

In addition to the issue of leadership, there is also the influence of top ninjas who are too strong. Personal strength has too much influence on the war, which is naturally hugely misleading.

In war, it is easy for conservatives to survive and for radicals to die. There are the most conservatives in the army, which is one of the reasons why military reform is so difficult.

But there are always outstanding people with keen eyesight. They can discover the truth of war through many obstacles and use it freely.

The Kazekage, the second generation of Sunagakure Village, is definitely one of a kind. His tactical command ability is uncertain, but his ability in strategic planning and management is really brilliant. Samana commanded Sunagakure Village to participate in the first ninja war. He only had a brief taste of it, and he was able to advance and retreat freely.

, the battles were not fought many, but the benefits were not less.

When Shamon died of illness, Sunagakure Village was firmly ranked second in the shinobi world, far surpassing Iwagakure and Kumogakure villages, and second only to Konoha Village.

It's a pity that there is no successor. After his death, the senior management of Sunagakure Village was too young and squandered resources wantonly, whether it was diplomacy, time, food, population, etc., the family fortune that Samana had worked hard to accumulate was almost gone.

The second one is Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumoge, who is a peerless tactical genius. When everyone admired White Fang's unparalleled combat power, Aburame Tetsumaru understood that White Fang's strongest point was tactics.

No matter which battlefield he is on, White Fang can maneuver behind enemy lines. With very little intelligence support, he never misses an attack target. Every attack must be the enemy's fatal point, and he often selects the enemy's weak defense and fatal point.

Point, this kind of talent is just unreasonable.

The third one is the Sandaime Raikage of Kumogakure Village. He has the reputation of being a reckless man, but he maintains the utmost caution in war and carefully preserves the strength of Kumogakure Village.

The fourth one is Orochimaru, a true all-around genius who has a good command of battle and tactics. He developed Orochimaru ninjutsu and his combat effectiveness has steadily entered the Kage level.

He is the most suitable Fourth Generation Hokage. In addition to his combat ability, research ability and command ability, he also has unparalleled management capabilities, as evidenced by the construction of Otogakure Village.

It's a pity that when Hiruzen Sarutobi got old, he didn't know if he wanted to establish the Sarutobi dynasty. Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru became his targets one after another. I don't know if it was because Danzo was too rough.

Each suppression resulted in one death and one rebellion.

Aburame Tetsumaru sat in an inconspicuous corner, looking at Shigesaku Hatake who was sitting in the main seat without saying a word but always smiling, and felt emotional.

It's a pity that White Fang really died in vain.

This is a ninja who truly believes in and practices the will of fire, and is also an open-minded and wise person who is very self-aware.

When Orochimaru convened a Jonin meeting, Hatake Sakumo knew that he lacked command ability, so he gave Orochimaru his full support and remained silent.

With the support of Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru's process of taking over the command was uneventful, and the purpose of the meeting now was just to convey the next battle plan to all jounin.

There are many specific instructions, but they can be summed up in two words: decisive battle.

The battle plan is still to defend from the north and attack from the south, but the goal is no longer to invade the Kingdom of Wind, but to annihilate the main force of the Sunagakure Ninja Army.

First, take the initiative to launch an attack to attract Sunagakure to assemble a ninja army, and then pretend to retreat to lure them into launching a counterattack, encircling and annihilating Sunagakure's effective forces in the Land of Fire, and striving to halve the number of ninjas in Sunagakure Village.

In the end, they directly attacked Sand Hidden Village, forcing the Kingdom of Wind to admit defeat and ending the entire Western Front War.

"The land area of ​​the Kingdom of Wind is extremely vast, but in the barren desert, only oases produce food, and the population that can feed it is very limited. This determines that Sunagakure's recovery ability is weak."

"So I decided that the goal of this battle is not to capture a certain location, but to annihilate more than five thousand sand ninjas in one fell swoop."

"Battle damage on this scale is enough to break Sunagakure's bones, and it will not be able to recover for ten years. Sunagakure's peace faction will gain the upper hand, forming a general trend of armistice."

"When the situation is established, the money-grubbing daimyo from the Kingdom of Wind will stand up and push for the end of the war, so that we can win without occupying the Kingdom of Wind."

After talking about the war plan, Orochimaru sat down a little tired, receiving an army of eight thousand people, reading the accumulated intelligence, and executing the battle plan. There were too many things to be busy with, and he had not slept for three days.

Hatake Sakumo stood up. He looked around at the one hundred and sixty-three jounin present, and what he saw were pairs of eyes full of hope.

Hatake Sakumo smiled and said, "I support Commander Orochimaru's plan."

After saying that, he sat down neatly.

Aburame Tetsumaru was amazed, Konoha White Fang was very good at political rhetoric.

You see, Sakumo just omitted the word "vice" and expressed his support for Orochimaru so clearly.

Next, Tsunade stood up to express her support, followed by several clan leaders and department heads, and finally all the remaining jounin expressed their support, and the campaign plan was approved.

After the meeting, the jounin dispersed to prepare for the war.

A dozen Jonin who were responsible for key tasks stayed behind, and Orochimaru had to explain the details of their missions one by one.

Soon it was Aburame Tetsumaru's turn. He walked into Orochimaru's temporary tent. There was only a table, a row of chairs and a sand table, not even a bed.

"Hmph, Tetsumaru-kun, the opportunity you wanted has come."

Orochimaru put his hands on the edge of the sand table and raised his head to greet Aburame Tetsumaru. His voice was hoarse and his eyes were bloodshot. He was obviously exhausted to a certain extent.

Aburame Tetsumaru smiled happily: "I have been waiting for this opportunity for more than a year, Orochimaru-sama."

"I heard that you didn't get rid of the ban on snow even after moving to the Land of Sichuan. You didn't carry out any serious combat missions for a whole year, but you missed the victory of the Land of Rain."

"It's indeed a bit of a pity. But it feels good to be able to leave that torrential rain hell and go to the south to bask in the sunshine."

"Hehehe, you're still so naughty, I'll let you have your way this time."

Orochimaru pointed at the middle section of Kawa no Kuni and said: "This time I want to concentrate my forces to annihilate the main force of Sunagakure. I can't invest too much in defense, so I need you to bear more."

With a slight stroke of Orochimaru's finger, a large area of ​​about three hundred kilometers from east to west and more than one hundred kilometers from north to south was enclosed.

"I ask you to control 150 kilometers of the central part of Kawano Country and serve as a support point for the defense line."

"Aburame Tetsumaru, use all your strength and nail me here firmly. No matter what kind of attack you receive, you cannot retreat."

"What if Kazekage leads the army to attack?" Tetsumaru narrowed his eyes. It's true that he likes defense missions, but he will not accept a defense mission that requires death.

"Oh? Mr. Tetsumaru also thinks that the Kazekage will take this path." Orochimaru looked up in surprise, "If there is an attack by the Kazekage, I still require you to hold on to the main support."

"How? Can it be done?"

"Orochimaru-sama, please don't joke. Please just tell me how many days I have to persist?" Aburame Tetsumaru rolled his eyes.

He had been Orochimaru's subordinate in the Land of Rain, and he knew that one of the reasons why Orochimaru despised Danzo was that he often issued such missions with uncertain goals.

Orochimaru smiled happily, he liked smart subordinates.

"Very good. If the Kazekage leads Sunagakure's main force to attack you, you must ensure that the Kazekage cannot leave Kawa no Kuni within five days, giving me enough time to respond."

Yes, in order for Sunagakure Village to withdraw from the war, in addition to killing half of its ninjas, it is also necessary to destroy the confidence of the top management of Sunagakure Village. This key figure is the Sandaime Kazekage.

"I accept this mission."
