Red sand dust

The long-distance combat alliance unit under the Ninja World Alliance Army is the smallest one. Its main members are mainly sand ninjas, supplemented by a small number of rock ninjas.

But the strange thing is that its commander is Nara Shikamaru, who does not have an overwhelming advantage in strength, and the word "agent" is added in front of his position.

To put it bluntly, this unit is not for tough battles, but mainly for long-range support. Most of the members are not good at physical skills. They can only exert their greatest power when they are at a distance.

Different from the teams that face the enemy directly and fight hand-to-hand, the long-distance combat joint forces including Nara Shikamaru are formed with ninjutsu forts in mind. Compared with the selection of other team leaders, they must be based on their ability to fight. The premise is different. The most important talent needed by the commander of the long-distance combat joint army unit is a strong mind in planning tactics.

From this point of view, it is not unreasonable that Nara Shikamaru serves as the "acting commander" and is nominally on the same list as Huangtu, Hatake Kakashi, Shizune, and Darui.

Some people are artificially promoted, and naturally some people are high-ranking and low-ranking. The fifth generation of Mizukage, Terumi Mei, was assigned to the useless position of the daimyo guard. It was nominally to protect the daimyo, but in fact, its importance was definitely far less than that of other cadres.

From the arrangement of positions, it can be seen that the five major ninja villages are also divided into strong and weak.

Kirigakure Village is the weakest and is far away from the mainland, so its influence is too poor. Only when the balance of power in other ninja villages is broken can it have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. In addition, there are endless internal strife and frequent rebellions. In the past few years, " The name "Blood Mist" is too deeply rooted in people's hearts, and most people have a bad impression of them.

Konoha Village is much stronger, with nearly half of the top positions controlled by them. Among the remaining main cadres, except Iwa Ninja, who got one seat, the rest were divided between Suna Ninja and Kumo Ninja.

Looking at the configuration of the ninja alliance, we can roughly understand the strength and weakness of each ninja village.

As the date of gathering and swearing an oath for the expedition approaches, the seniors are still calm, but the young ninjas are becoming more and more impetuous.

Temari is very popular among the Sand Ninjas, and has become the backbone of the members of the Sunagakure Village in the long-distance combat joint army unit.

As night fell, the eldest sister and several younger juniors were warming themselves by the fire on the edge of the camp. In addition to Gaara's worshipers and yukata, there was also a rising star of the puppet force, a member of the third phase of the air combat force named Tessa, last year's puppet of the whole village. Winning the arena, he received the Guardian, an air-to-ground long-range sniper equipment made by Daimaru himself. Because of his ultra-long-range assassination ability, he was spotted by Temari and poached the general.

It's a pity that she is obviously a battlefield killer, but in private she is really a weak and shy little girl, completely different from the arrogant style of her predecessors such as Chaofeng, Yan Mi, and Guangshi.

In the path of countless civilians in the village who are eager to get ahead, as well as puppet masters who are crazy about being coveted by outside ambitions, those who are not strong enough really need extraordinary talent if they want to stand out.

"So, don't back down on the battlefield. The more scared a ninja is, the faster he will die. Of course, I don't want you to ignore the danger and act recklessly!"

Tessa, who was a little embarrassed, asked very honestly:

"But, Temari-senpai, I can't control the speed of this!"

For laymen and novices, the most difficult thing to adapt to is that the standards are vague. Only when you specialize to a certain level can you have the need for a higher degree of freedom. In the beginning, it is better to have strict regulations.

"Obey orders and trust your comrades and superiors! The battlefield is changing rapidly and you cannot rely on instinct. Only commanders with an overall view can have a higher vision and find a way to victory."

"Understood!"

Tessa responded very seriously, and Yukata and Matsuri also echoed.

"Oh, it's really disturbing to think of you going to the battlefield at such a young age!"

Temari sighed and shook her head slightly.

After all, ninja is a very dangerous profession. Once promoted to chunin, some dangerous tasks cannot be avoided.

Among the ninja world coalition forces, among the five major ninja villages, the Suna ninja has the highest proportion of genin going to the battlefield. Other villages are rare. Only the Sunagakure village is filled with a large number of genin in the puppet army and logistics supply department. Because they are too professional, even No higher ranking ninja replacement could be found.

Fortunately, most of them do not need to visit the front line in person, and the most dangerous "firepower" suppression team does not risk a large number of casualties before the defense line collapses.

"Temari-senpai, didn't he go to the battlefield at about the same age as us? He was still a genin at that time..."

"Different!"

Even so, Temari couldn't explain much.

In the "Konoha Collapse Plan" back then, in order to ensure the unexpected effect, Temari herself deliberately suppressed the level. The combination of three siblings had almost no opponent in the Chunin Exam, not to mention a group of genin, even a jounin. It may not be an advantage.

Look at these little girls in front of you. They are all talented children. But in terms of merits, they are really amazing. But on the battlefield, it has nothing to do with talent, hard work and personal will. Daily accumulation is important. Luck accounts for a large part of the factor that really determines survival rate.

If you are too outstanding, too conspicuous, you will most likely be targeted and targeted. This will not change until you reach a certain level of strength.

Tools on the battlefield need the most skill to avoid weaknesses, obey orders, and then let fate take its course.

The young girls, shrouded in excitement and apprehension, certainly couldn't realize this.

Only by personally experiencing the baptism of fire can you understand how to save your life in a cruel fight.

While the members under his command were busy with their own thoughts, Nara Shikamaru was also looking at the documents in his hand under the slightly dim light, rubbing his sore eyes.

The average age of the members of the long-range combat joint army detachment is too young, too young, and inexperienced, which also makes it difficult to control.

In order to unite the scattered people into a rope and exert the strongest strength, Nara Shikamaru had a hard time.

The Suna Ninjas who occupied most of the places were filled with them, causing Temari's influence to greatly increase. Nara Shikamaru could hardly bypass Temari and issue orders directly to the Suna Ninjas.

Prestige is not something that comes automatically when someone is assigned a position by a superior.

Nara Shikamaru's past experience was too clerical. Even though he was known for his excellent mind and shrewd tactics, he did not have a particularly outstanding record. As a result, the rebellious young man was not very convinced of him.

Fortunately, Temari did not embarrass Nara Shikamaru and still supported the "acting commander".

But if this continues, the goal of receiving rewards for meritorious service and enhancing prestige will be difficult to achieve.
