Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 91 Surrounding Sand Hidden Village

The confrontation between Konoha and Sunagakure lasted the entire afternoon. The numerical disadvantage of Konoha's ninja army could not be avoided, and due to concerns about Sunagakure's powerful legion ninjutsu, they were unable to turn their advantage into victory.

In the evening, the fighter plane Orochimaru was waiting for arrived, and the Konoha Southern Army arrived on the battlefield under the leadership of Tsunade.

"Let me tell you, Tsunade must have been deceived by Chiyo Obasan, but she will still find out soon."

After Orochimaru received the report, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but joke.

"Hahahaha, I really envy the friendship of you young people. It's so nice." Hatake Sakumo said with a happy smile, "I'm going to get ready. I'm about to attack."

"Senior, you are not old, but your tone is very old."

"Really? Alas, this is the second war I have experienced. Maybe my heart is getting old."

The two relaxed commanders were chatting when suddenly a ninja rushed over.

"Sir, the sand ninja has begun to attack!"

kindness?

Orochimaru and Hatake Sakumo looked at the battlefield, and sure enough, the Sand Ninja began to take the initiative to attack. Large-scale legion ninjutsu opened the way, and thousands of Sand Ninja followed closely to attack Konoha's front.

Hatake Sakumo frowned: "What is the Kazekage planning? Doesn't he know that Tsunade will be here soon? Or is he still thinking about desperately at this time?"

Orochimaru shook his head, no, Kazekage's several desperate adventures were unexpected, but he is not a fool. Attacking now has no chance of winning and can only speed up the defeat.

Moreover, Sunagakure Village is one of the five major ninja villages. It is strong and well-organized. It is impossible not to know the information about Tsunade's upcoming arrival. Judging from the position on the battlefield, they should have known it earlier than they did.

Earlier?

Orochimaru had a flash of inspiration. He raised his head, raised his gaze a little higher than the sand ninja army, saw the bright red sunset on the horizon, and instantly understood the purpose of the Kazekage.

"They don't want to attack, they want to retreat."

"retreat??"

"How can this be?"

"It is clear that we are launching an attack, and it is an attack by the entire army."

Hatake Sakumo raised his hand, stopped the ninjas from talking, and said: "Don't mess around, just listen to the commander."

Orochimaru glanced gratefully and explained: "As soon as Tsunade arrives, our total strength will reach 13,000. The Sand Ninja are doomed to fail. They must retreat to avoid being completely wiped out here."

"But the Kazekage must understand that if we retreat directly, we will be pursued and intercepted by Tsunade, and the crisis of destruction will still be unavoidable."

"So he chose to attack, launched an attack and fought us in a melee. He waited until dark, then the whole army disbanded and broke out individually."

Any ninja who can sneak into the two commanders' side and act as advisers is not an idiot. There is no need for Orochimaru to explain the rest.

With poor visibility after dark, both sides of Sunagakure and Konoha were unable to effectively conduct unified command.

But what the Sand Ninja want is to retreat in a dispersed manner. They no longer need any command. They just need to run in the direction of Sand Hidden Village. Plus, they are familiar with their own geographical environment, so they have a high chance of success.

On the other hand, what Konoha wants is to encircle and intercept, and it must be coordinated and organized to achieve it. Being brought into the melee by the Sand Ninja's attack, it is not easy to organize after dark, and if you are unfamiliar with the place, where can you pursue them?

Not sure.

what to do?

Hatake Sakumo smiled gently, patted Orochimaru on the shoulder and said: "Stop being so pretentious and tell me a solution quickly."

"It is no longer possible to completely annihilate the Sand Ninjas. We can only inflict as many casualties on them as possible."

"If Feng Ying wants to cause chaos, we will use chaos to create chaos, and chaos will add to chaos."

"Defend first, and follow Kazekage's idea to fight a melee. Once the sand ninja begins to retreat, let each ninja brigade, squadron, and squad fight on their own and pursue the enemy in front of them with all their strength. There is no need to consider any other circumstances."

"Pursue with all your strength, don't be afraid of being scattered. Even if only one Konoha ninja sees the Sand Ninja, we must pursue it with all our strength."

"This order will be effective until dawn. After dawn, all Konoha ninjas will return to this place."

The Konoha ninjas are all confused. Is this okay? Is this okay?

Hatake Sakumo was angry and shouted: "What are you thinking about? Go and give the order!!"

Seeing all the staff ninjas running away, Orochimaru said softly: "Senior, thank you."

"Haha." Hatake Sakumo smiled gently, "Actually, I don't know whether your new tactic is good or bad, but I believe Orochimaru that your judgment is correct."

"That's why I thank you."

"..."

"Well, I saw Feng Ying, let's go over and greet him."

"good."

The attack of the sand ninja was very fierce. Tens of thousands of sand ninjas swarmed up and fought with seven thousand Konoha ninjas. It was completely dark when Tsunade arrived at the battlefield. It was impossible to distinguish who was who. She was forced to get involved in the chaotic battle. Soon

He was also dragged into the melee.

At this time, there was a buzz of people within dozens of kilometers, and the flames of ninjutsu and detonating talismans could be seen everywhere.

[It’s as lively as a rabbit’s 2008 Spring Festival.]

A shadow clone of Aburame Tetsumaru is hiding under the sand dunes in the distance. Looking at the battlefield, I can't help but feel emotional. I haven't seen such a special New Year scene in many years.

While he was watching with great interest, a black shadow crashed into the sand dune beside him, directly knocking Aburame Tetsumaru's shadow clone out from under the sand. The violent bombardment caused the fragile shadow clone to collapse.

【Who is this? I haven't seen enough yet.】

"Huh?" a blond female ninja said in surprise, "There is actually a shadow clone hidden here. It's a pity that I didn't see who it was."

"Tsunade, please be gentle, it's too easy to accidentally injure yourself." Orochimaru slowly walked out of the darkness, complaining dissatisfiedly, "If this hits a Konoha ninja, let's see what you do."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. If you are really injured, this jounin can heal him. There won't be any side effects." Tsunade was also a little over the top in the fight and couldn't help but use her full strength.

"Tch, if the person is really hit, he will be gone immediately. Is there still room for you to save him?"

"Pay attention next time, pay attention next time! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha."

Tsunade laughed, looked around, and suddenly shouted: "There is someone there, maybe the Kazekage, come with me!"

The jounin rushed down the sand dune in a hurry, and Orochimaru could only shake his head and followed helplessly: "It's strange, she was obviously normal when Jiraiya was there, but when Jiraiya wasn't around, she became even worse than she was.

It’s too presumptuous to come.”

…

I don't know how far away in the desert, Aburame Tetsumaru, who was driving at full speed, felt a pain in his head, staggered and almost fell.

"Oh, another shadow clone was damaged. This speed is a bit too fast. We have to hurry up... huh?" Aburame Tetsumaru's eyes widened, "The battlefield at night is so beautiful. I really miss this feeling.

"

His steps involuntarily slowed down, and he carefully appreciated the images conveyed by the shadow clone, until the heavy blow that destroyed the entire top of the dune.

"..." Aburame Tetsumaru was speechless. With such a powerful destructive power, it was really unlucky to have no one but Tsunade.

Forget it, I'd better hurry up and hurry up. In such a big scene, the main battlefield will soon determine the winner, and then the shadow clone alone won't be able to hide it.

…

As the night grew darker, the battlefield gradually spread and became quieter.

Dark clouds gradually covered the sky, and it turned out to be an extremely rare cloudy day in the desert. The night in the desert gradually became invisible.

Tsunade used all her strength to punch the puppet to pieces, and the broken pieces were deeply embedded in the sand. She stood up and looked around, and all she could see was Orochimaru, who was strangling the puppet master.

Two hours ago, the team of two people got lost. After that, they no longer care about the direction, chasing the sand ninjas they could find, and now they have killed the last target, and the two people have no idea where they are.

Only then did Tsunade notice that the sky was covered with dark clouds, and she couldn't even tell the direction. She asked habitually: "Where to go next?"

"Then rest, wait until dawn, and walk in the brightest direction."

"Ah? There's nothing Orochimaru can do? Are you going to get lost too?"

Orochimaru's face turned dark. If you hadn't taken the lead in running around and beating random bullies, even the road signs I set up were destroyed by you, would I have lost my way?

Tsunade knew she was in the wrong, and was too embarrassed to continue messing around. She sat down on the ground and started to rest.

"Do you have anything to drink? I played in the middle of the night and my throat is dry and uncomfortable."

Orochimaru also sat down cross-legged. After hearing his teammates' request, he silently took out a bottle of drinking water. After thinking about it, he took out a pack of compressed biscuits and threw them to her.

Tsunade took the bottle, opened it, and drank most of the bottle in one go. Then she let out a long sigh: "Oh, it's so cool!"

"It would be better if there was wine."

"Shut up, you drunkard. This is a battlefield. Don't embarrass yourself."

"Huh, I'm just telling you, when have you ever seen me drinking during a mission?"

"..."

The two of them bickered every word, and when it was daybreak, they returned towards the east where it lit up first.

Before the battle began, Orochimaru ordered a group of genin not to join the battle, but to stay outside the battlefield and set up road signs. All lost Konoha ninjas only need to retreat eastward to encounter the road signs, and then follow the signs to find the temporary camp.

In this night of chaos, the Sunagakure ninja army paid a price of more than 4,600 people, and only more than 5,500 Sand ninjas successfully returned before Konoha surrounded the Sunagakure village.

The losses of Konoha cannot be calculated for the time being. When Orochimaru returned, there were only more than 5,000 ninjas in the temporary camp. In addition to the more than 1,000 victims of Konoha ninjas on the battlefield, there were still 6,000 Konoha ninjas who were missing.

At noon, Orochimaru left a few ninjas to continue to accommodate the returning ninjas, and he led 6,400 Konoha ninjas towards Sunagakure Village.

This time Konoha will actually block the gate of Sunagakure Village and surround the Hidden Village in preparation for the complete annihilation of Sunagakure Village.

…

At noon, he rarely encountered Sunagakure's abandoned stronghold. Aburame Tetsumaru lit a bonfire in the empty room and cooked a delicious lunch for himself.

Aburame Tetsumaru received the latest information while cooking, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Konoha's fight last night was very exciting. The Kazekage's prompt decision was worthy of praise, but Orochimaru's chaos was a genius. This battle can be said to have broken the backbone of Sunagakure Village.

Now, in addition to the more than 5,000 defeated soldiers in the village, there are only 5,000 sand ninjas in the north of the Bear Kingdom and the Iwa ninja, and more than 900 puppet master troops in the battlefield of the rain country in the northeast.

According to this rhythm, Sand Hidden Village will not be defeated, but the village will be destroyed.

The key point that caused all this was food. Previously, Hatake Sakumo led the raiding troops to destroy the supply team, which not only resulted in a shortage of Sunagakure troops, but also burned a large amount of food.

After that, the Konoha ninja army began to try to block the gate of Sunagakure Village. Although it was never completely successful, it blocked all the caravans transporting food. Yesterday, Chiyo led the army to completely break Konoha's blockade. In order to rescue the Kazekage, they

Didn't bother to replenish food.

Now that Sunagakure Village has been completely cut off from supplies, lack of food has become a fatal flaw. According to the information passed by spies, Sunagakure Village can only last for a month at most, and this number does not include the consumption of the villagers at all.

Aburame Tetsumaru believes that Orochimaru will definitely understand the fatal flaw of Sunagakure Village and adopt siege tactics. As long as he can withstand Sunagakure Village's counterattack and eliminate the support from the north, he will be able to capture it without any effort in two months.

Sunagakure Village, destruction of Sunagakure, and destruction of the wind country.

Now the only person who can influence the fate of Sunagakure Village is the Iwa Ninja, the Tsuchikage Onoki of Iwagakure Village thousands of kilometers away.

But to be honest, even if Onoki immediately shook hands with Sunagakure and made peace, and even provided supplies to support the sand ninjas from the Bear Country and the Rain Country, these sand ninjas would not be able to break the encirclement of Konoha Village.

Unless the Rock Ninja and Sand Ninja join hands to form a combined army of more than fifteen thousand people, this is beyond Orochimaru's ability to deal with it.

However, in this case, the Hokage of Konoha Village will never sit back and watch his most proud disciple fall into the crisis of annihilation. He will order the Army of the Kingdom of Rain to invade the Kingdom of Wind and hold back the Allied Forces of Wind and Earth.

Konoha has enough confidence to open another battlefield. There have been no early graduates in the village for ten months. With the remaining ninjas from major families, at least 10,000 ninjas can be mobilized.

As the commander of the Konoha Legion that besieged Sunagakure Village, Orochimaru was not lacking in patience and vision. He was not only trusted by the Third Hokage, but also supported by top ninjas such as Hatake Sakumo, Tsunade, and Kato.

Aburame Tetsumaru couldn't think of a way for Sunagakure Village to escape its fate of destruction. No matter how it looked, Orochimaru was firmly in the hands of Orochimaru to destroy the country.

However, the historical Sand Hidden Village did not perish and persisted until the Fourth World War. What changed their fate?

[It can’t be the accident caused by me, can it? 】

Aburame Tetsumaru immediately denied this conjecture. It shouldn't be. I only killed hundreds of sand ninjas, and only three or four jonins. This can't be the last straw that breaks the Sunagakure Village, right?

━(￣ー￣*|||━━

No, no, no, impossible, absolutely impossible.

Something unexpected must have happened, but I don't know it yet.

Absolutely so.
