Create a swarm technology tree in Konoha

Leaving the southeastern border of the Land of Earth, we crossed the rift valley via the Kannakun Bridge, and then walked 30 kilometers south to enter the flat grassland area from the alpine forest area.

This vast grassland is the Autumn Plains of the Grass Country, a desolate and sparsely populated land. It is also one of the main battlefields during the war between the Earth Country and the Fire Country.

The Kusanagi villages and the capital of the Country of Grass are concentrated in a small area in the north, where there are many rivers, fertile land, and abundant output. However, more importantly, transportation is inconvenient, and it is not a must-win place in a war between great powers.

As for the Akihara Prairie with convenient transportation, Kusanagi Village is really unable to protect it. In peacetime, it will patrol regularly to maintain trade routes and collect some rewards. But during the war, Kusanagi Village gave up completely and moved the few people to the Northeast region. He also hunkered down in the village. The entire country allowed big powers to come and go freely and fight at will.

Although it is humiliating, it will not be like the Kingdom of Rain, which was turned into a wasteland by war, or even reduced to only one-tenth of the country's population, and is on the verge of annihilation.

In the late autumn of the 47th year of Konoha, a battle that determined the fate of two countries broke out here. The ninjas of Kusanagi Village came to the vicinity early to observe. They would not participate in the war, but as intelligence dealers in the ninja world, they could not give up. This opportunity to collect intelligence is all money.

The ninjas in Konoha and Iwagakure villages will not have a good look at the grass ninja who is known as the "thief of the ninja world". They hate the grass ninja very much. No ninja can accept being watched while fighting and then selling their battles. Profit from intelligence.

The leakage of this kind of information is fatal to ninjas. Therefore, any great ninja who encounters a grass ninja on the battlefield will not be able to help but rush to catch him. He will not kill him, but will be beaten and kicked. Fat beatings are inevitable.

Ironically, at the same time, the top leaders of the five major countries will continue to purchase enemy intelligence from the Kusanagi Village, and even establish long-term intelligence purchase channels.

In short, the top and bottom leaders of Ninja Village have always been at odds with each other, which is outrageous.

Aburame Tetsumaru and Namikaze Minato followed Orochimaru and headed towards the predetermined battlefield in the center of a large group of Konoha ninjas. His duty was to deal with attacks that the outside could not handle.

I think back then, he was a member of the outermost security team, but today he has stood with Orochimaru and has become the top combat force who provides the bottom line for the entire army. He has made rapid progress.

However, Aburame Tetsumaru has nothing to be proud of. The golden flash next to him has reached this position faster, and is about to reach a higher position, supporting the entire Konoha Village.

Aburame Tetsumaru felt nothing about this. Just think about it, how could an adult care about his ranking among first-year elementary school students?

At this time, a Konoha jounin came over. He pinched the neck of a grass ninja jonin in his right hand and held a booklet in his left hand. He asked Orochimaru for instructions: "Lord Orochimaru, this bastard is hiding on our route. , secretly recorded a lot of our information, should we just kill him?"

Because he stayed up late for several days to deal with work, Orochimaru closed his eyes to rest while he was on the road. At this time, he didn't bother to open his eyes and look at the Kusanagi. He just said lightly: "The Kusanagi Village is also an ally of our Konoha Village. , ninjas who are not allowed to kill their allies."

"We must return him alive to the ninjas of Kusanagi Village."

The Jounin of Konoha grinned, and passed it directly to the young ninjas behind him, and said: "Just follow Orochimaru-sama's order, and you must send it back alive."

"Live" is said in a very strong voice, indicating that he attaches great importance to it.

The grass ninja Jonin's expression immediately relaxed, he was finally not going to die, so what could a mere beating do?

It didn't matter if the records were confiscated. He had all the information about the Konoha Legion in his mind. As long as he returned to the Grass Ninja Village, he couldn't escape an A-level mission.

Especially since he had just seen Konoha's commander Orochimaru directly, followed by the golden flash Minato Namikaze, and an unknown ninja of the Aburame family. This piece of information was a big gain, and he was beaten for it. A quick fight, no loss.

The grass ninja Jonin was very satisfied with today's harvest. He even accidentally smiled when he was dragged away. After being seen by several young Konoha ninjas, his lungs exploded with anger, and the force of his fists and kicks was a few times heavier. point.

The small episode did not affect the actions of the Leaf Village army in the slightest. Six thousand ninjas arrived on the battlefield on time and then began to build a temporary camp.

Konoha Village now enjoys an absolute advantage in logistics and supply, and can naturally gain more advantages through fortifications. In order to lure the Iwa Ninja to take the initiative to attack, Orochimaru deliberately reduced the amount of supplies carried by the army, increased the number of supplies, and secretly increased Supply the protective force of the troops.

They even arranged a few ambush troops disguised as supply teams, but unfortunately the Iwa ninja were not fooled.

Compared with the last war, Orochimaru this year is more sophisticated and calm. He can make the enemy passive with casual arrangements and gain the greatest advantage for his own people.

The Iwa Ninja's progress was also very obvious. They turned a blind eye to Orochimaru's real and fake tricks and flaws. They gathered together safely, put on a decisive battle posture, and moved towards the Konoha Ninja Army.

Namikaze Minato is worthy of being the seed of Hokage. He pays attention to every order of Orochimaru and tries hard to think about the meaning behind the order. From time to time he shows admiration and admiration. It is obvious that he understands the deep meaning behind Orochimaru's order.

…

The construction of the camp took up a lot of manpower, and there was a lot of noise during the construction. Soon the reconnaissance ninjas of the Iwa ninja infiltrated, and the battle between spying and counter-spying began.

Under the complete three-level detection system of Byakugan, Parasitic Insect and Ninja Dog in Konoha Village, the camouflage technique that Iwa Ninja is proud of is completely inadequate. The last two kilometers have become a natural chasm for Iwa Ninja to detect ninjas.

After several attempts, Iwa Ninja realized that they had no chance of infiltrating, so Iwa Ninja selected elite ninjas to conduct force reconnaissance.

Fighting broke out and was fierce.

Then these Iwagakure ninjas were in bad luck. Once they knocked down and injured the Konoha ninjas, they would see Namikaze Minato named "Golden Flash" appear in front of them with a gentle smile.

The next moment, Minato held a blue ball of light and gently pressed it on the Iwa Ninja's back.

However, no matter how fast Namikaze Minato is, he can't kill all the Iwa ninjas. Someone will always be able to successfully retreat, and the battle information will be transmitted to the command systems on both sides.

"The morale of the Iwa ninja is very high. It turns out that this is the worst expected situation. Onoki has already arrived from the north, otherwise these Iwa ninjas would not be so desperate."

"Fortunately, no great ninjas have emerged in the past few years, Iwa Ninja, otherwise we would really be in trouble today."

After expressing his emotion, Orochimaru began to arrange specific allocations: "Minato, you are fast and are best suited to deal with that steam ninja. The Five-Tails Jinchuuriki is left to you."

"No problem, Orochimaru-sama."

Orochimaru turned to his left and asked: "Tetsumaru-kun, I remember that during the last war, you had an encounter with the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki and suffered a great loss from him. Do you want to take revenge this time?"

Aburame Tetsumaru shook his head: "No, Orochimaru-sama, the melting release of the Four Tails is too troublesome for me. I'd better deal with Tsuchikage Onoki."

In front of everyone, Aburame Tetsumaru was very respectful to Orochimaru, and he was meticulous about the proper honorifics and etiquette.

Orochimaru smiled: "If Tetsumaru-kun is so brave, I will feel relaxed. That's it, I will deal with Lao Zi, and you will deal with Onoki."

"Tetsumaru-kun, be careful. Ohnoki masters the blood-stained dust release, which is the most destructive blood-stained ninjutsu in the ninja world. You can't be attacked by him."

"Please rest assured and leave it to me. It's hard to say whether we can defeat Ohnoki, but there is definitely no problem in holding him back."

…

"Lord Tsuchikage, too many of our reconnaissance ninjas have been intercepted and killed by the 'Golden Flash'. It is difficult to obtain specific information about Konoha. Please order to stop the investigation. If this continues, it will only be a waste of ninja lives."

Tsuchikage rolled his eyes angrily, blowing his beard and yelling: "You already know this, and you still come to ask me, why don't you go and give the order!"

"Idiots, they are all idiots." Onoki, a 1.3-meter-tall two-year-old man, sat on a floating rock and hammered his knees bitterly. "I have to ask for instructions on such trivial matters, so I don't have any autonomy. How can I retire with confidence?"

The red-haired Lao Zi retorted disdainfully: "Humph, it's all your fault. Your head is as hard as a stone, your temper is as bad as your stool, and even good prospects have been ruined by you."

Onoki retorted mercilessly: "Humph, you are the only old bastard in Quanyan Hidden Village who has no right to criticize me. I can still have your hard head. Have you found your heir?"

Lao Zi's face tightened: "Uh, this,..."

Tsuchikage continued to ask: "I am working hard to find an apprentice. Are you seriously looking for an apprentice?"

"snort!"

In order to ease the conflict between the two, the five-tailed jinchūriki wearing a red hat asked: "I heard that the Tsuchikage is teaching children dust escape recently. Are there any good ideas?"

Onoki shook his head: "No, not one."

"Alas, the population of the Earth Kingdom is still too small, and there are no decent geniuses. We don't even have a decent ninja below. It's really a headache."

Lao Zi said: "Your son is still pretty good and has very good strength."

"No, no, no." Ohno shook the wood like a rattle, "Too stupid, too stupid. Loess will be the end of being a Jonin. He can't bear the responsibility of Tsuchikage."

"Konoha is better. The next generation of Sannin have grown to the point where they can fight against us. Now even the younger generation has emerged."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen is so happy."

After expressing his feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred towards Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Tsuchikage finally adjusted his condition and began to arrange the specific details of the battle.

"Tomorrow we will build four earthen hills in front of the formation, three in front and one behind, and use legion ninjutsu to attack Konoha's camp."

"Although we are forced to attack in this battle, we must first have a complete defense during the battle, and then force Konoha to attack us, and try to make full use of our defensive advantages."

"Lao Zi, Han, you and I are stationed on a mountain respectively. If you encounter Golden Flash or Orochimaru taking the lead in attacking, you are responsible for entangling them. Don't let them interfere with our ninjas."

"After confirming that these two people have appeared, the one who is free will take the initiative to support the others, giving priority to the one fighting the golden flash. This young man is really too dangerous."

Han and Lao Zi nodded together. The golden flash had just set a new terrifying record, an incredible record of instantly killing fifty rock ninjas. They thought they couldn't do it even if they had the power to liberate the tailed beasts.

Therefore, the two of them had nothing to say about Ohnoki's order "If you encounter this person, you can abandon the mission without being punished". If you can't beat him, you can't beat him.

Fortunately, this time it was three against two, so there was no big problem.

The three people and a group of staff ninjas discussed the specific tactical arrangements until very late. After all, the Iwa ninjas were now at a strategic disadvantage and could only count on tactical breakthroughs to reverse the unfavorable battle situation.

When the tactical issues were discussed and all the details were handed over to the staff for specific allocation, Lao Zi couldn't help but ask the Tsuchikage: "Ohnoki, if we still don't win this time, what will we do?"

"No matter what, I will admit defeat directly, negotiate with the Kingdom of Thunder, negotiate with the Kingdom of Wind, and completely withdraw from the Ninja World War." Ohnoki pulled his beard and continued, "There is no way, the one who was attacked by the Cloud Ninja It was so powerful once that we were no longer able to defeat Konoha Village on our own, nor could we join forces with Kumogakure Village."

Lao Zi, who had a bad temper, slapped the table hard: "It's all those damn nobles who ruined Yanyin Village's best chance. They really deserve to die a hundred times more."

Onoki sighed and said in frustration: "Now, the new generation of Konoha Village has also risen in the war. To be honest, I no longer have the confidence to win the war."

"Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen is still in power in Konoha Village. He will accept our surrender and will not ask for too many things. I am really grateful to him."

"Alas." x2

Iwagakure Village fought hard for several years, but finally ended in defeat. As the top leaders of Iwagakure Village, the two jinchūriki were inevitably a little frustrated.

Ohnoki's perseverance is not something to be underestimated. He quickly cheered up his two companions: "Don't be discouraged, old guys. If we can win tomorrow, there is still a good chance of winning the war."

Lao Zi raised his head, adjusted his forehead protector, and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best tomorrow and I won't let myself have any regrets."

Han stretched out his hand to straighten his bamboo hat: "Lord Tsuchikage, please rest assured, I will fight with all my strength!"

Onoki stood up, jumped off the big rock on which he stood, and bowed deeply to the two of them: "Please, everyone."

…

Early the next morning, Iwa Ninja braved the light morning mist and began to build the earth mountain.

Orochimaru had been dealing with Iwa Ninja for too long, and he naturally knew that the other party's purpose was to force him to attack. How could he tolerate the other party completing the construction work and then launching a bombing on him from a high position?

Under the command of Orochimaru, the Konoha ninja began to launch an organized attack to contain the Iwa ninja's earth mountain construction work and delay time.

After several rounds of attacks, the Konoha ninja figured out the opponent's layout, so Orochimaru's attack target chose Tushan on the far right, where the Kage-level ninja stationed there was the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki Han.

As a taijutsu-type Jinchuuriki ninja, his abilities have the least impact on large-scale battles. Moreover, he is also a ninja who is famous for his speed. All the ninjas who dominate the ninja world today by speed will be suppressed by Namikaze Minato, so it is impossible for him to display decent combat effectiveness.

Things turned out just as Orochimaru expected. Namikaze Minato's speed was not something that the steam ninja could keep up with, and the two men's fighting wisdom was extremely different. Minato completely had Han under his control. If he hadn't been worried about Han, His whole body is burning with steam, and he can be taken down in just a few encounters.
