Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 90 Orochimaru also learned bad things

Uchiha Hiro is good at Uchiha Taijutsu, Throwing Techniques, and Fire Release. He can control ten appendage insects. With two Magatama Sharingan eyes, he can fight, resist, and control. He is an all-rounder.

Aburame Tetsumaru suggested that his most important task at the moment is to fully familiarize himself with the Sharingan, which is the core advantage of his combat effectiveness. After adapting to the Sharingan, the focus is to study fire escape and learn Sharingan genjutsu.

From now on, we need to develop the Wind Release Chakra and learn the Wind Release Ninjutsu and the power of the Wind and Fire Compound Ninjutsu. Uchiha Hiro has fully experienced the power of the Wind Release Ninjutsu in his cooperation with Nara Yoshino, and he strongly agrees with the teacher's suggestions and fully accepts them.

He understood that by completing training according to this plan, he would have the strength of a jounin and would not need to wait to awaken the three Magatama Sharingan.

Nara Yoshino is good at shadow secret arts, auxiliary ninjutsu of wind escape and earth escape, and has a very smart mind.

Compared to Hiro Uchiha, Aburame Tetsumaru is more optimistic about Nara Yoshino becoming the captain after being promoted to chunin.

However, Yoshino will have a lot of trouble if he wants to be promoted to jounin. Ino Shigacho's training in his youth caused his foundation to be too auxiliary, and he has many shortcomings in personal combat ability. This is not suitable for promotion to jounin.

It's a flaw.

In fact, the Nara family is like this. In the early stage, they formed the Ino, Deer and Butterfly combination to do support and command work. After they were twenty-five years old, they gradually started to make up for the shortcomings in offense and defense, and finally were promoted to Jonin in their thirties.

Nara Yoshino lost two childhood sweethearts, and without the protection of Ino, Deer and Butterfly, he had to grow up as quickly as possible, otherwise he would easily die midway before he was thirty.

It seems that Nara Yoshino only needs to make up for his independent fighting ability, and the only way to solve this problem is to learn taijutsu and ninjutsu.

Forget about taijutsu, the Nara family has always played with their brains, taijutsu has never been compatible with these pineapple heads, and Aburame Tetsumaru himself is not good at it either.

Therefore, Ninjutsu is the only path Nara Yoshino can choose. Next, he will continue to hone the auxiliary Ninjutsu of Wind Release and Earth Release as a support and supplement to the Shadow Secret Technique.

Then he further studied wind style and earth style as offensive and defensive methods, but in this way he still had to face the problem of serious chakra shortage, which was another traditional problem of the Nara family.

[Ninpoline Technique, do we need to teach this? 】

Aburame Tetsumaru hesitated. On the one hand, this technique was too powerful, and he didn't even dare to spread it to his own family. So far, he had only communicated with Orochimaru.

On the other hand, Orochimaru has not yet figured out how to practice. He is still the only successful example. The safety of practice is not enough, and this thing is still within the category of forbidden techniques for the time being.

Forget it, let's wait until Orochimaru has verified the safety of Ninpo Technique before considering it.

Inuzukao is good at the beast-like ninja technique, wind escape, and is good at using hook-like appendages. He is reckless and impulsive, and his combat ability is not inferior to that of a chunin, but he is not suitable for the position of captain.

Inuzukao's training defense line is very clear. On the basis of diligently practicing his own secret skills, he continues to practice wind release ninjutsu that accelerates and increases attack.

After mastering the Wind Release, further develop the Thunder Release Chakra, learn the Thunder Release Ninjutsu that can stimulate the body, and continue to climb in the direction of increasing speed and attack power.

In the future, I will continue to study Thunder Release and try to enhance my defense. Once I succeed, I will pave the way to the Shadow level. Unfortunately, the difficulty is too high and it is almost impossible.

After all, there is only one master of the Thunder Chakra Mode, the Third Raikage, in the ninja world, and he is also the only successful one.

Aburame Tetsumaru was cleaning up the battlefield and training her three disciples at the same time, living a very leisurely life.

Uchiha Hiro, Nara Yoshino and Inuzuka Wei didn't realize that the person who taught them how to practice was a shadow clone. Aburame Tetsumaru himself had quietly slipped into the Kingdom of Wind and headed for the ruins of the sea of ​​​​sand where giant ants were hidden.

Now that he knew that Orochimaru had led thousands of elite Konoha ninjas to the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Sichuan, Aburame Tetsumaru could no longer restrain his impulse and ran away, leaving behind hundreds of shadow clones.

With Orochimaru here and a hundred or so shadow clones, it shouldn't be a big problem for me to fish for a few days. The opportunity is really rare.

After all, the ruins of the Sand Sea are within the Kingdom of Wind and are the territory of the Sand Hidden Village.

If you miss this opportunity when Sunagakure Village is blocked by Konoha Village, you will probably have to drill holes all the way into the Wind Country Desert again, making it difficult to enter and exit freely. Therefore, you must seize this war gap and use the shortest possible time.

time to capture enough ants.

It was daytime, and Aburame Tetsumaru was hiding in the tunnel dug by the worms, figuring out where to tame the giant ants while receiving information from the mother nest.

Since the worms dig along the water veins, the Aburame Iron Pill can only travel along the water veins. The settlements of the Kingdom of Wind are also concentrated along the way.

If it were daytime, Xingdou would have to frequently crawl into tunnels to avoid being discovered by people in settlements.

He was not afraid of Sunagakure Village knowing at all. During the war, there was nothing wrong with Konoha ninjas invading the Land of Wind. However, Konoha Village knew about it and strictly pursued it, but they might be suspected of fleeing the battle. According to the tense relationship between the Aburame family and Danzo, he was

The consequences if caught will be serious.

But Aburame Tetsumaru didn't dare to take a detour. There was no suitable landmark in the sand on the ground. Once he didn't follow the water veins, it would be easy to get lost. Then he could only contact a few nests and restart based on the relative angles.

position.

The angle positioning method is very simple, but it requires a lot of calculations and takes a lot of time, even longer than drilling a tunnel.

In the end, the only option was to stay in the dark at night. When encountering ordinary settlements, they could rush there at night. As for the stronghold information station in Sunagakure Village, they should have been abandoned at this time.

When resting during the day, the idle Aburame Tetsumaru would contact the shadow clone far away in the Kingdom of Kawa through the communication system to receive the information reported by Orochimaru, plus the seven brood nests in the Kingdom of Wind (two of which exploded due to overheating)

Damaged and not yet repaired), the information collected was restored to the battle process.

…

The Kazekage led a dozen jounin to ambush Aburame Tetsumaru and failed. These people were not only the top ninjas of the Sunagakure legion, but also the commanders of the entire legion. Their long absence caused the Sunagakure army to lose effective command.

At noon, Orochimaru, who received intelligence from Aburame Tetsumaru, came to intercept the Kazekage. After the two sides met head-on, a fierce battle broke out.

At this time, Orochimaru led 1,600 Konoha ninjas, while Sunagakure had 1,200 elite ninjas. The two sides launched a traditional ninja battle.

The sand ninja, who had been tormented by Aburame Tetsumaru for several days, finally found a familiar feeling of fighting. The battle became more and more vigorous. While beating Konoha to shame, it also exposed the problem of slow reaction caused by the lack of high-level command.

Without any hesitation, Orochimaru immediately commanded the Konoha ninjas to pretend to reveal a flaw, attracting the sand ninjas to rush in, forming a protrusion. Then he led the giant python and elite ninjas to cut off the protrusion, surrounded and eliminated more than two hundred sand ninjas.

.

At this time, the strength of the Sand Ninjas dropped sharply, to less than two-thirds of the Konoha Ninjas, and there was a huge gap in the battle line. Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas, was active in this gap, and the situation was precarious.

When Orochimaru channeled three giant pythons and prepared to widen the gap in the Sand Ninja's battle line, the Kazekage hurried from the east and started a fierce battle with Orochimaru.

Kazekage's strength was still higher than that of Orochimaru, and he was at a disadvantage. Even one of the psychic giant snakes was killed. In addition, the Jonin who followed Kazekage restored the unified command of Sand Ninja. Ye Ninja no longer has enough advantages in the situation.

The battle between Kazekage and Aburame Tetsumaru changed his fighting habits, from just having enough iron sand to never having enough iron sand. As the battle progressed, the iron sand on the battlefield became overwhelming, and the battle of Konoha ninja became more and more difficult. , although there are obviously more people, they are at a disadvantage in the battle.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Orochimaru decisively sacrificed the remaining two pythons to cover the retreat of the Konoha ninjas. The Sand ninjas were already at a disadvantage and could not take the initiative to pursue them, and the battle ended smoothly.

The more than 900 surviving sand ninjas cheered loudly, they finally achieved an amazing victory.

After a short celebration, the Sand Ninja continued on their way. Since Orochimaru came to intercept them, it meant that their whereabouts were exposed, and they had to get to Sand Hidden Village as soon as possible to ensure safety.

Unexpectedly, less than twenty kilometers away, Orochimaru and the Konoha ninja came up to meet him. The two sides had nothing to say and started fighting.

Before the Kazekage could gather enough iron sand, Orochimaru once again led the Konoha ninjas to retreat.

At this moment, all the sand ninjas felt it. This feeling of being unable to be beaten or shaken off was so damn familiar.

"Sir, there is a problem." A staff ninja said hesitantly; "Orochimaru seems to want to hold us back. Are there more Konoha ninja legions chasing us?"

Kazekage took a breath of cold air, immediately summoned all the Jonin, and issued the order for a rapid march. He himself walked in front of the entire army to clear the way for everyone.

As expected, Orochimaru launched another attack, but this time the attack direction was from the east, which was at the end of the Sand Ninja team. Worried about being intercepted, the Sand Ninja gathered the Jonin and elites in the forward position.

The Sand Ninja who was attacked by Orochimaru could not resist and was beaten to a pulp. Orochimaru retreated before the furious Kazekage came back.

This time the Kazekage was furious, Orochimaru was not like this before.

This was indeed not the case before.

But Orochimaru studied the report sent to him by Aburame Tetsumaru and analyzed between the lines a very effective tactic. He tried the new tactic today and the results were very good. As expected, the sand ninja was unable to march quickly.

Orochimaru was happy, but Kazekage was aroused by the unhappiness of the past few days. He vented his anger on Orochimaru, chased him for more than ten kilometers, and killed several of Orochimaru's giant pythons.

"There is an opportunity to take advantage of it." Orochimaru was not angry even though he was being chased. He found a new fighter opportunity.

Three hours later, Orochimaru came again.

Kazekage was completely impatient. He spread his wings of iron sand to chase Orochimaru, determined to teach him a profound lesson. As for killing Orochimaru, he never thought about it. Kazekage knew that he could not kill this cunning poisonous snake. .

Previously, Kazekage and Chiyo joined forces on the southern front and led eight top elite jounin to ambush Orochimaru on the Sand Ninja's territory. Under such conditions, Orochimaru was not able to survive.

The Orochi Style Shedding Skin Substitution Technique, an infinite matryoshka doll ninjutsu with the functions of clones, healing and death, left a deep impression on the Kazekage.

However, people do not have the intention to kill snakes, but snakes have the intention to bite people.

Orochimaru spent three hours setting up a fatal trap for Kazekage. When the furious Kazekage chased Orochimaru into the trap, he immediately discovered that the sand on the ground had been solidified by Earth Release, and then more than two hundred wooden leaves

The ninja used fire escape to attack him at the same time.

Kazekage was initially shocked by more than two hundred ninjas, but then he discovered that they were all using fire escape, and he was half relieved. After all, iron is not afraid of fire.

Facing more than two hundred Konoha ninjas, Kazekage calmly mobilized iron sand to build a defense, then launched a counterattack while retreating.

But how could Orochimaru use unsuitable ninjutsu?

Soon, under the continuous fire attack, the iron sand began to glow red hot. Feng Ying was horrified to find that he could no longer control the red iron sand. The red hot iron sand seemed to have lost its magnetism.

After losing a large amount of iron sand, the Kazekage was suppressed and could only defend himself. The firepower of the Konoha ninjas became more intense, and more iron sand lost control, falling into a vicious cycle.

In the end, when Kazekage fled back to the Sand Ninja team in embarrassment, the Iron Sand Wings could no longer be maintained, and he himself was almost disfigured by Fire Release.

The two ninja armies kept fighting like this. After all, the Kazekage was stronger and the sand ninja was not hindered by logistical supplies. By nightfall, they had arrived less than 200 kilometers away from Sunagakure Village.

But at this time, four thousand reinforcements from Konoha Village passed through Kawa no Kuni and arrived at the battlefield to join Orochimaru. The six thousand Konoha army faced more than eight hundred Sand Ninja and naturally surrounded them.

But Feng Ying still struggled to hold on. He summoned a massive amount of iron sand and laid half a foot of iron sand over an area of ​​four square kilometers. At the same time, strands of iron sand in the sky flowed back and forth between the ground and the iron sand clouds in the sky.

Kazekage made a magnetic mark for every sand ninja. Anyone without a mark who stepped into this area would be entangled in iron sand and eventually be dragged underground and crushed to death.

After several rounds of attempts, the Konoha ninja spent thirty lives to determine that they had no way to fight the sand ninja in this iron sand environment.

So they tried to remove the iron sand and use this stupid method to break the iron sand field.

Unfortunately, there was not much progress, and the speed of removal may not be as fast as Feng Ying's gathering of iron sand. After a night of fierce fighting, neither side achieved a decisive victory.

At ten o'clock the next morning, the really deadly Konoha White Fang joined the battlefield. His speed was so fast that when he walked through the iron sand field, all the iron sand could not keep up with his movements. Hatake Sakumo was no longer persistent.

In order to kill the Jonin first, he pointed his butcher knife at the Sand Ninja Chunin, but when he encountered the Jonin, he went around instead.

As a large number of chunin died, the sand ninja could only hide as much as possible. The Konoha ninja took the opportunity to clear away the iron sand with all their strength, and the sand ninja situation was about to collapse.

At 11:20 in the morning, Chiyo of Sunagakure led the Southern Army, the garrison of Xiongshan City and the ninjas of Sunagakure Village rushed to the battlefield. Ebizo, Fusheng, Wosha and other well-known masters of Sunagakure Village were also among the reinforcements.

Facing an army of 10,000 sand ninjas, Orochimaru and Hatake Sakumo confirmed after communicating that they had no time to eliminate the 400 surrounded sand ninjas. In order to avoid the worst case scenario of being flanked by the enemy from both sides or even being bloomed in the center of the Kazekage, they put

He opened the surrounding sand ninja and allowed them to join together.

Then the two sides started a small team battle, testing each other's strength and status through this small-scale confrontation, which was a prelude to a large-scale ninja group battle.

Unexpectedly, after testing, the Konoha ninja gained the upper hand. The smaller Konoha ninja even began to spread their wings in the north and south directions, pretending to surround the sand ninja.

This is actually not surprising. Konoha ninjas are all experienced ninjas who have experienced hundreds of battles. The genin in the army who graduated last year have also experienced nine months of fighting and are rich in experience.

On the other hand, the sand ninjas have suffered major defeats in the past three months, and their elite soldiers and generals have suffered heavy losses. At this time, a considerable number of chunin in the legion are newly promoted, and their combat effectiveness and combat experience are relatively lacking.
