______________________________________
I saw Sakumo at nine o'clock in the morning the next day, and the three of Shiraishi arrived at the Konoha camp on the front line of the Fire Country.
There is basically no change between here and before. If there is a change, it is that the atmosphere here is more tense than before.
However, the last time the task of cutting off the supply of Sha Yin, although Baishi and the others 'failed' the task due to the disturbance at the root, Shuo Mao's side completed the task very well.
He destroyed Shayin's important supply point by himself, causing Shayin's offensive strength to decline for a while.
"In other words, as long as you survive this winter, Sha Yin will be self-defeating?"
Baishi asked.
It is already the beginning of October, and the weather is slowly getting cooler. Especially in December, the Land of Fire and the Congress of Rivers enter the season of bitter winter.
The sand hidden ninjas don't have enough supplies to survive this winter, and the situation will become extremely unfavorable for sand hidden in early spring.
"It's generally true, but whether Sha Yin will really retreat, we are not sure, we can only say that the possibility is very high."
Shuo Mao nodded.
In the case of insufficient supplies, launching the last ferocious attack and opening the gap into the Land of Fire is also a way out for Shayin.
After all, it is the third Kazekage who will take the lead this time, so he must be fully prepared.
The more this is the case, the more we must be very careful not to let the sand ninjas take advantage of it.
"Then what is the task assigned to our team?"
"It's still the same as before, looking for lone sand ninja troops to annihilate, and reducing the pressure on the frontal battlefield from the side."
Shuo Mao replied like this.
He is very aware of his limits as a ninja. He doesn't have any large-scale ninjutsu attacks, and all his strength comes from body and sword techniques.
Therefore, he will have a headache for enemies with large-scale ninjutsu attacks, but on the other hand, his body skills, instant body, and sword skills are all at the pinnacle.
If he couldn't keep up with his speed and lacked the defensive means to resist Bai Fang's dagger, for him, the difference between killing an enemy was only one blow or a few blows.
This point, Baishi and the others are also very clear.
He is a ninja with obvious flaws and advantages.
It is suitable for small-scale battles, but in large-scale battles, it will limit his strength.
Because he has more things to consider on the frontal battlefield, avoiding the kunai and detonating charms flying over from nowhere, and if he encounters many companions in distress, whether to save or not is also a question worthy of serious consideration.
In this way, his saber skills will become hesitant and dull, and he will not be able to exert 100% of his strength.
In this regard, Shuo Mao has nothing to complain about.
Because of their different abilities and personalities, ninjas are assigned jobs that suit them.
He is only suitable for this kind of action and combat. For example, Sannin is not competent for his job, and he is not competent for Sannin's job.
"You just arrived here today, let's rest here for a day, and we will start the mission tomorrow morning."
"yes."
Before leaving, Shuo Mao said something to Shiraishi: "By the way, I forgot to say, Shiraishi, if you have nothing to do, you can go to the medical camp to see. Right now, there is still a shortage of medical ninjas here on the front line. Although there is only one day, you can relieve the pressure there."
"I see."
Baishi nodded, and then walked towards the medical camp.
It is true to relieve the pressure of the medical team, but how much pressure can be relieved, Baishi also knows that it is just Shuo Mao's words of comfort.
After all, treating patients is the bounden duty of a medical ninja, and Shiraishi has no reason to refuse.
However, from Shiraishi's point of view, Konoha still has the defect of insufficient number of medical ninjas. It is entirely because of his own cognition and execution strategy problems that lead to such a result.
Konoha attaches great importance to medical education, and it is also because of the medical reform proposed by Tsunade a few years ago that he began to train medical ninjas.
But in fact, at the beginning, Konoha did not pay too much attention to medical reform.
In their eyes, instead of allocating resources to medical ninjas with weak combat capabilities, it is better to cultivate more powerful ninjas and strengthen the village's combat effectiveness.
However, after experiencing the incomparably tragic War of the Land of Rain, it was only when they discovered that the resources were given to powerful ninjas, and the death rate remained high, that they began to enforce medical ninjutsu courses in ninja schools.
Shiraishi is the first batch of medical ninja experimental class members of the medical reform, and he is well aware of how slack Konoha has been in cultivating medical ninjas.
If Tsunade hadn't proposed this reform... Maybe Konoha would not have paid attention to the profession of medical ninja until now.
(PS: I remember in the original book that when Tsunade proposed medical reform, all the high-level officials and Jonin, including the Third Hokage, were not interested in Tsunade's proposal. Only Kato Dan supported Tsunade, probably because of Tsunade's body...)
When they came to the camp where the medical team was located, they could hear the wailing cries of the wounded. The smell of disinfectant and blood mixed together and penetrated into Baishi's nostrils.
Coupled with the limited scope of the camp, some wounded could only lie outside and receive sloppy treatment.
Prior to rescuing the seriously injured ninjas, treat the moderately or lightly injured. This is the rule of the Konoha Medical Unit.
Here, Shiraishi also saw Tsunade, but he didn't recall the past. Tsunade was performing medical ninjutsu to treat the wounded there.
Baishi explained the purpose of coming to the deputy commander here, and the other party was very happy. At this time, one more medical ninja is equivalent to rescuing a few more wounded.
Especially the other party is the medical ninja specially equipped for Shuo Mao's team. He is the first batch of students in the medical experimental class of the ninja school. No matter how you look at it, medical ninja can't be too bad.
So, he immediately allocated more than a dozen moderately and mildly injured people to Baishi, as well as some medical supplies, and told him to go to work quickly.
Shiraishi walked to an open space, where the floor was paved, and there were many wounded Konoha ninjas lying there, and there were about dozens of wounded.
Together with Shiraishi, there are three medical ninjas. The oldest is in his thirties, and the youngest is a few years older than Shiraishi.
Even if they are both medical ninjas, they don't communicate at all, or they don't have the time at all.
Baishi concentrated on using the healing technique, and handled the wounds of these wounded with skillful and standardized movements.
During the treatment process, Baishi will also communicate with the injured to reduce the pressure in their hearts and treat them better.
"It's alright. Next, I just need to rest for two days."
"I know you. You are a member of Sakumo Jonin Squad. You are really powerful medical ninjutsu."
The cured Konoha Ninja praised Shiraishi in a kind tone.
"No, compared to my predecessors, I still have many shortcomings."
For this kind of praise, Baishi just smiled modestly.
After all, compared to a medical ninja of Tsunade's level, he still has a lot to improve.
From the morning to the evening when it was dark, Baishi finished his medical work.
Because most of the tents were requisitioned by the medical troops, even so, there were still some wounded who were not assigned to tents, so when Shiraishi came back to join Liuli and Ayane, he was only assigned an open space for resting.
At five o'clock in the morning the next morning, the sky was dark, and Baishi and the others had already woken up.
Some Konoha ninjas are still asleep, and many Konoha ninjas are patrolling the outer circle of the camp, mainly sentience ninjas and ninjas from the Hyuga clan.
When Shuo Mao came to look for them, the three of Baishi and the others had prepared everything. Bingliang pills, antidote, kunai, detonating charms, sealing scrolls, medical kits, etc. were all equipped.
As the only auxiliary medical staff in the team, Baishi was assigned to equip as much supplies as possible, so he stuffed food and water in his backpack.
The next mission of the Shuo Mao team can also be said to have no mission content.
When you encounter enemies, you will destroy them, if you encounter your companions, you will provide support, and if you encounter the transport convoy of Sand Ninja by chance, you will destroy them.
It's like Sa Yin sent elite troops to make trouble in the Fire Country before, to distract Konoha's attention, and even make the frontline Konoha ninjas dare not move casually.
The same is true for Shuo Mao's mission this time.
Go deep into the country of Sichuan, and even the country of wind, to carry out sabotage work behind enemy lines, and let Shuo Mao's team deal with it according to the situation on the spot.
The higher authorities gave Shuo Mao's team considerable freedom, which also meant that this mission was highly dangerous.
Not to mention Baishi and Ayane, Liuli is already eager to try.
After experiencing the last battle, her ninjutsu, physical skills, and illusion skills have all grown a lot, and her Sharingan has also been upgraded to the three-god jade form.
This kind of growth is obvious, and Shuo Mao is also very satisfied with it, thinking that if he wants to deal with the current Liuli, he can't take it lightly.
◎
November, mid-term.
Country of Rivers, Sand Hidden Camp.
The third Kazekage looked gloomy at the information sent by the people below. In the past month, there have been frequent rumors that the sand ninja squad that was performing patrol missions in the Kawa no country was wiped out by the enemy.
"Konoha White Fang!"
Three generations of Kazekage slammed his fists on the table, his eyes were burning with anger.
Even if you don't need to look at the intelligence information, you still know who did such a thing.
Except for Konoha Baiya, none of the jonin that Konoha can dispatch now has such a frightening speed of annihilation.
The speed is so fast that it looks like a tornado. Wherever it goes, not a single blade of grass grows, and the roots are uprooted.
Whether it's the top ninja squad, the middle ninja squad, or even the low ninja squad, all of them are cut off without exception, without mercy.
Except for the long-renowned Shirato, Sandai Kazekage couldn't think of any other Konoha jominin who could do this.
His most trusted puppet troops, two of the elites, were also annihilated by the team led by Bai Fang in the Land of Fire, and even the corpses are still in Konoha's hands.
The power Sagakushi can mobilize is no higher than Konoha's. The only variable is that he, Kazekage, has an unused trump card—Shouzuru.
The poisonous attack strategy created by Sand Hidden was defeated by the Konoha ninja Tsunade.
He is fine for fighting head-on, but the overall quality of sand ninjas is worse than that of Konoha ninjas. In addition to the shortage of medical ninjas in the camp, the death rate is a little higher than Konoha's.
Now there is the problem of Bai Fang harassing the rear again, Konoha's next step...
Sure enough, not long after, a Jōnin came in to report that there was a change in the Konoha camp. Nearly a thousand ninjas set out from the camp and headed here from the front.
But the moment they entered the border of the Kawano Country, Konoha's thousand-man troops stopped moving, as if they were just going out for a parade.
But Sandai Kazekage understands that Konoha intends to oppress Sagakure on the frontline battlefield, creating opportunities for the White Fang team to attack.
If Sagakure chased and killed Bai Fang's team desperately, Konoha's large army would press up from the front.
"Is that guy Fenfu still not agreeing?"
Sandai Kazekage looked at a sand ninja with a solemn expression.
"I don't agree. No matter how I persuade him, I don't agree to use the power of the crane. He said that I hope that you, Kazekage-sama, will regard peace as the most important thing. Stopping the war is the best for the sand."
The Jōnin replied.
"Stop the war for the sake of sand concealment, okay?"
Three Kazekages cast their sights in the direction of the Land of Fire.
The land there is richer than the land of the wind, Konoha's talented ninjas emerge in endlessly, Bai Fang, Sannin, Kato Dan...
There are three clans of ninjas, the Inoka Butterfly, and other famous ninjas, Sarutobi, Shimura, Inuzuka, Yume and so on.
What's even more frightening is that Uchiha and Hinata, the most well-preserved ancient blood-stained giants in the ninja world, are also among Konoha.
With such a strong lineup, Sandai Kazekage felt a heavy heart when he thought of this.
It would be very difficult for Konoha to plunder resources in the Land of Fire while Konoha hadn't recuperated from the Land of Rain war, and to reap the benefits after Konoha recovered.
Because Konoha is becoming more and more powerful, it has caused enough pressure on the surrounding countries and ninja village.
If things go on like this, as Konoha gets stronger and stronger, there will be less and less room for Sha Yin to live.
I can only keep reducing military expenditures and the number of ninjas, and I can only watch as the number of ninjas in Konoha increases, and the military expenditures become more and more sufficient, making Konoha unique in the ninja world.
By then, Shayin will be completely lingering under the leaves.
The third Kazekage didn't want to see Sakai like that, no matter how powerful Konoha was, he still wanted to fight.
As long as Konoha's power can be weakened, Sahikaku can breathe a sigh of relief and see the hope of prosperity.
If there is no war, there will be no hope at all.
Therefore, the idea of "peace is the most important" that keeps the cranes and the pillars of blessings, is just from an individual point of view, but between countries, there is no justice and evil, only strong and weak, and only gains and losses.
"He is not suitable for this ninja world. Although Shukaku is very safe in his body, if he doesn't take the initiative to stimulate, there is no risk of going berserk. But it also means that Sa Yin will not be able to use this weapon. The weapon cannot be used. This is the greatest tragedy for war. It seems that a new Jinchuriki needs to be replaced..."
Hearing Sandai Kazekage's words, that jonin was shocked.
"Master Fengying, this..."
"Don't worry, I just mentioned it casually. After all, the transfer of the tail beast is of great importance, and it must be decided through a high-level meeting."
Three generations of Kazekage said this, but he couldn't make the Jōnin feel at ease.
"Then what should we do now?"
This Jōnin was very helpless.
This is the most difficult place for Shayin.
Compared with Konoha, not only is the gap in overall quality, but it is also far inferior to Konoha in terms of top ninjas.
Just a single Konoha White Fang was a headache for them. If such a dangerous ninja was left to destroy in the rear, the sand ninjas were all terrified.
Recently, many sand ninjas are afraid to accept the task of patrolling the country of Sichuan.
Facing that White Fang, many sand ninjas have already started to feel terrified.
"I already have a countermeasure. This is a personal letter from Iwagakure Onoki. He will help us Sahikari secretly."
"That Tsuchikage? To be honest, I don't recommend Kazekage-sama to cooperate with that Tsuchikage."
"This is our only chance."
Three generations of Kazekage said.
With that said, he sat down on his desk and drafted two letters.
After writing the letter, he handed it over to his confidant next to him, and said, "One letter was delivered to Konoha's commander Orochimaru, and the other was sent to Konoha Baiya by the patrol team."
"This is..."
The name Shinobu looked at Sandai Kazekage in bewilderment.
"Go down."
"yes."
Although he was puzzled, this Jōnin went down and carried out this task.
"All of this is for the sake of Sa Yin... Konoha..."
Three generations of Fengying murmured faintly, a sharp breath flashed in his eyes.
◎
The western part of the country of Kawa.
It is at the junction of the Land of Winds and the Land of Rivers.
The sand ninja who supported the country of the river from the country of the wind will pass by this road.
The four members of the Shuo Mao team carried out the annihilation strategy here.
Annihilate all sand ninjas in front of him without leaving a single one.
After annihilating a team, they know how to get out, never procrastinate, find a hidden place to hide, and then continue to annihilate after a period of time.
Leaving aside Sakumo, who has been famous for a long time, Ruri and Ayane's strength is also at the level of a jounin, and they also have a special blood succession limit. The destructive power brought by the three of them is amazing.
Baishi only needs to provide some small assistance at the rear of the team, such as poisoned smoke bombs and throwing detonating symbols.
During non-combat times, local materials are used to make medicines, such as Bingliang Pills and antidotes. After all, Sand Ninja's puppet master weapons are highly poisonous, and it is very dangerous to accidentally rub them.
In this way, the Suo Mao team's sustained combat capability was increased.
This morning, another six-member sand ninja team was annihilated.
It doesn't seem like many, but since accepting this mission more than a month ago, they have been fighting every day, fighting, and constantly have sand ninjas dying at the hands of their team. There are hundreds of sand ninjas in total.
When you are lucky, you will encounter a convoy from the Land of Winds entering the Land of Rivers, burn Shayin's few supplies, and then use Liuli's agile mobility to create chaos with Liuli's large-scale fire escape technique, fleeing far away, and avoiding being surrounded by large troops.
If there are fewer people chasing them, they will be annihilated by their team in reverse.
If there are more chasing ninjas, use the super high mobility to lead them around the country of Chuan.
Unless Sand Yin dispatched more than a few hundred ninjas at once, including more than 20 jounin, it would be impossible to encircle and suppress them in the country of Chuan.
If the third Kazekage really had this kind of determination to divide up so much of his vital force, and Sakai hid himself on the frontal battlefield, he wouldn't be able to win against Konoha, and the loss would be even greater.
Baishi skillfully rummaged through the corpse of Ninja on the dead sand, searching for things.
The scrolls that might record ninjutsu and information, the detonating talismans used for combat, and the ration pills used for recovery, all of them were taken away until the backpack could no longer fit.
Baishi couldn't help sighing that following Shuo Mao, the task was done so smoothly.
The three of them above faced groups of sand ninja, so they had no choice but to run around.
Even though their strength has become stronger now, they still dare not confront Shayin's large army head-on.
Now with Shuo Mao leading the team, small-scale troops, as long as there are no more than a hundred people, go directly to fight.
If there are more than a hundred people, they will adopt a wandering strategy and lead the sand ninjas around.
To chase or not to chase, this choice must be very entangled for sand ninjas.
If they catch up, they will probably die. If they don't catch up, Sakumo's team will continue to wreak havoc, constantly attacking the sand ninja patrol troops of the Kawa no Kuni and attacking their transport convoys.
And with Ayane's white eyes, you don't have to worry about setting up a battle formation in a hurry. When you encounter a large-scale army, you just need to break through from the weakest point.
In terms of the ability to break through, Sakumo took the lead in the charge, so it can be said that he can come and go freely within the territory of the country of Sichuan.
"Okay, the search here is almost done."
The six corpses on the Baishi ground were groped clean.
There is a total of one top ninja, three middle ninjas, and two low ninjas.
During a face-to-face meeting, Liuli and Ayane wiped out Shuo Mao before he could make a move.
Shuo Mao contributed the most, but without the assistance of the three of them, it would not have been so smooth. At least the problem of continuous supply would have been a headache.
Shuo Mao nodded and started to leave.
Baishi and the others followed closely behind, moving extremely quickly.
In this way, they are running at the border between the country of Sichuan and the country of wind.
When you are tired, take a rest, eat some dry food, drink some water, and then continue on your way.
Until around three o'clock in the afternoon, a four-member sand ninja team appeared in Ayane's eyes.
Sakumo didn't hesitate, and carried out an annihilation operation against this sand ninja team according to the rhythm of the past.
"strangeness."
Ayane said something.
"What's so strange?"
Liuli looked at her.
"There should be one person in this team who is a perception ninja. He sensed our existence, but he didn't run away, nor was he ready to fight..."
Hearing what Ayane said, the other three frowned slightly.
"They seem to be waiting for us to pass by."
Ayane said uncertainly.
"Are there traps and ambushes around? UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" Shuo Mao asked.
Ayane looked carefully, then shook her head.
Not to mention traps, these sand ninjas didn't even invoke Chakra, and they didn't intend to use long-range ninjutsu to attack.
Just as he was about to approach, one of the sand ninjas broke away from the team and rushed towards him.
Under Ayane's signal, Shuo Mao stopped, and Baishi and Liuli also stopped.
It didn't take long for the sand ninja to arrive in front of them in the form of an instant appearance.
He didn't take any action, just took out a sealed letter from the ninja bag.
"Your Excellency Bai Fang, this is a letter from our Master Fengying. Please read it."
The other party looked businesslike.
Ayane nodded to Sakumo. There was no poison or chakra flowing in this letter, it was just a normal letter.
Sakumo walked over, took the letter from the sand ninja, opened it, glanced at it, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I see. I will confirm this matter myself."
The sand ninja nodded and disappeared from Sakumo.
"Teacher Shuo Mao, this letter is..."
Baishi and the others came up to watch, curious about the contents of the letter.
Shuo Mao didn't hide anything, and spread out the letter for Baishi and the others to read.
At the top of the letter, there are only three words - Reconciliation Letter.
This is the signal that the third Kazekage of sand ninja is ready to stop the war with Konoha.
"Is this letter highly credible?"
"I don't know, let's see what Orochimaru says. If you agree, the war will end here. If you disagree, we will continue to carry out our mission. Before receiving a formal order, the mission will be temporarily suspended, and there is no need to attack sand ninja."
After Shuo Mao finished speaking, he looked into the distance with deep eyes.
