Naruto Puppet Master

A month later, the army of the Sand Ninja Village had broken through the barrier of the sea and landed on the 32 islands on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Water.In this month, although there has been no major battle, small battles have occurred every day. The middle and genin teams from both sides fought fiercely.However, Chisha Wudi and others, who had the purpose of training soldiers, never took action. Therefore, every time the people leading the team in Sand Ninja Village, except for the bellicose Shura, stared at the battlefield from a distance instead of going to the battlefield personally.Let his jounin lead the team below to fight with Kirigakure's forward team.

The leader of the Kirigakure forward army, the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Yagura, has never shown his face. Apparently, the watermelon puffer ghost dragging his half-broken body to tell him about the death of Loquat Juzo also scared him.

When the enemy is too strong and the battle situation is irreversible, even if Yagura is confident that he is not afraid of any opponent, there is no need to risk being surrounded and killed by forcing himself on himself.

"Is this the reason why you haven't fought yet?" In the tent of the Kirigakure army in the Kingdom of Water, an old man dressed in battle attire roared:

The white-haired middle-aged man next to him said with an ugly face: "Yes, look at how many people are left in the forward force because of your failure to fight? Well! There are less than 200 people! How many of us are left here? Elite ninjas from the Takegaku clan and the Minazuki clan."

"In order to resist the army of Sand Ninja Village, our two clans sent their elites to join the forward army, but now? The army of Sand Ninja Village has landed, but our people have suffered such heavy losses, and since you You haven't fought yet?" The old man of the Minazuki clan said bitterly, turned around and cried to the third Mizukage on the throne, "Lord Mizukage! You can't let Yagura go! The forward army he led Not only did we not complete the task, but we also suffered such heavy losses. These are the heritage of the village!"

"That's right, he suffered heavy losses and was unable to complete the mission. It can be said that the enemy is too strong! But what does it matter if he can't fight without fighting? I think he should be imprisoned first to see if he has become a traitor." A member of the Zhuqu clan The middle-aged ninja said with hatred:

He really couldn't help but hate him. Among the team that set off together, there were still about ten Minazuki left behind. After this cruel fight, the weakest ones were elite chuunin. It is said that most of them had awakened the Bloodstained Limit. , it is impossible to say that he will become a shadow-level powerhouse when he grows up in the future!If that happens, the Minazuki clan can't say whether it's a loss or a gain.

However, the elite ninjas of the Zhuqu clan who came with them were indeed almost dead. There were only two seriously injured and dying. Even if they were rescued from their injuries, they would not be able to break through the Kage level again. The Jonin was theirs. It's the limit.As a result, the difference between the two sides is really huge.Elder Zhuqu, who was also a member of the great ninja clan of Kirigakure Village, was really filled with hatred, and Yagura happened to be his outlet. Especially when he learned that the other party had never fought before, he was filled with hatred and anger.

"Okay, stop talking. The enemy is currently not allowed to cross the border." The third generation Mizukage at the head stopped him:

After hearing the Third Mizukage's words, the others immediately stopped expressing their opinions.

After stopping the rebellion of the Minazuki and Takegaku clans, the Third Mizukage immediately looked at Yagura, the disappointment in his eyes flashed away, and he said in a serious tone: Yagura, you have let me down this time.Tell me what brought the situation to this point.

Yagura, who is familiar with the Third Mizukage, knows that if he can let the Third Mizukage say the word "disappointment", his trust in him may have begun to shake. If he cannot come up with a reasonable explanation, he will definitely lose his trust in the Third Mizukage. position in the film’s heart.What awaits him after the war will be marginalization and cold treatment, and even if a suitable candidate is found, even the tailed beast in his body will be stripped away.

And what Yagura thought was exactly right. Now the Third Mizukage's confidence in him has indeed been shaken. The black hand hidden behind him has even caused some bad conjectures for the Third Mizukage. If he really gives If there is no reason to convince the Third Mizukage, the three tails will definitely be stripped off until the end of this battle at most. This kind of war weapon, the Third Mizukage will never put it on an unstable person.

Thinking that although this was related to his own future and life, Yagura still said in a deep voice without expression: "The war situation has developed to the current point, and my subordinates do bear a heavy responsibility. However, Lord Mizukage and all of you have just arrived. I’m afraid that I still don’t know the correct information when I get to the front line. I hope that after reading the information compiled by me, you will listen to my explanation of my actions. In this way, you can have a clearer understanding of the current war situation."

"Oh, it seems that you have been prepared! Then bring it up!" The third generation Mizukage said:

Obviously the Third Mizukage didn't want to draw a conclusion so early, so he still gave Yagura a chance.After all, the traditional reporting of the latest war intelligence and so on is just to talk about how powerful the enemy is, so as to make excuses for one's own failure.

However, in fact, it was the Third Mizukage who underestimated this information. Although Yagura tried to evade this time, he was really describing the strength of the Sand Ninja Village, especially since the Third Mizukage and others had just obtained the information. Know the part.

After a long time, the third Mizukage put down the scroll in his hand and closed his mouth without saying a word.

He was deep in thought, but his trembling brows undoubtedly told everyone present the intensity of his heart.

After a long time, the Third Mizukage opened his eyes and looked at the people below who were waiting for him to speak with serious expressions due to his performance just now, as if they were following his lead.

If it were in the past, the third Mizukage must be very happy, because there are two of the three major Kirigakure bloodstained families below. You must know that in the past, except for the Oniden clan, the three major Kirigakure bloodstained families were not very obedient, but they The strength is so powerful that together it is almost equal to [-]% of Kirigakure's overall strength, so much so that even the third Mizukage can't shake his face.

But now after reading Yagura's information, the Third Mizukage felt that for the first time in his life, the strength of these two major clans was not enough!

"When did you get this information? Have you confirmed it?" Although he knew clearly, the Third Mizukage still looked at Yagura with a glimmer of hope and asked:

"Part of the clues were collected earlier, but they were too scattered and no one noticed them. It wasn't until I got some information from the stubborn prisoners in the past two days that I connected them together. Most of the subordinates have already confirmed it, and the rest Although the time is short, but following the previous events, the general outline is estimated to be close to ten." Yagura said with a gloomy expression:

Hearing this, the third Mizukage closed his eyes in pain and said in a trembling voice: "Training troops, our Kirigakure is one of the five great ninja villages! When did we become so weak that we were treated as a torment by our opponents who were also one of the five great ninja villages? Daoshi has come to train his troops. What’s even more sad is that we still suffered such huge losses!”

"Is it my fault? Is Kirigakure already lost in my hands?"

"what!"

"What! Mizukage-sama, what are you talking about?"

Ignoring the surprised questions of others and forcing himself to calm down his agitated mood, the Third Mizukage asked seriously: How many enemies have we killed?

"The number that can be confirmed to be dead is about 4000 or [-], and the size of the enemy's injured camp is estimated to be about [-] from a distance." Yagura answered without hesitation:

"Your scroll says: Most of these sand ninjas practice a special secret technique. Although they are not very good at ninjutsu, their physical skills are amazing and their physiques are strong. As long as they don't die on the spot or lose their will, they have a lot of fighting power." The Third Mizukage asked: Although I have had some information before, you still know best.Talk about them.

"Yes. All of them have taijutsu training at at least the chuunin level. They have strong physiques, and their bodies are more or less hard or soft, resulting in very strong defenses."

"At the same time, it's not that they don't know ninjutsu at all, but they know very few, basically only one or two."

"Unlike the previous ninja fighting teams with a small number of people working together, they are basically a team of ten or more people. And their fighting method is not like ninjas but more like a samurai army.

"The people below also tried to use their shortcomings in ninjutsu ability to attack from a distance, but it was of no use. They responded directly with bows and arrows. Plus there were so many people, it was difficult for us to suppress them with fewer people. With too many people, there was too much movement. The conference attracts more enemies to gather and form a large-scale melee, which is more suitable for the opponent's physical skills."

"Although the enemies lacked experience in fighting ninjas at the beginning, they were not rookies who had never seen blood, but because the objects they had fought and killed before were ferocious beasts or each other. Therefore, they grew up very quickly, and Even enemies who have never been on the battlefield cannot take it lightly."

"In the end, their willpower is very strong, and they have a belief in death. Even if they are seriously injured or disabled, as long as they still have consciousness, they will attack without hesitation, or even die with us."

"According to the prisoners' accounts, they were originally slaves. They were gathered together by the Sand Ninja Village a few years ago to train them as slave ninjas. The Sand Ninja Village made a promise to them, saying that as long as they made enough military exploits, they and even their The family can get rid of their status as slaves and become members of the Sand Ninja Village.

"And if you are afraid of death without fighting, not only will you die, but your whole family will die as well."

"And if you don't have enough credit, you can only remain a slave ninja, and there won't be much of a way out in your life. If they die in the future, someone in their family will have to inherit the identity of a slave ninja and continue to make contributions to the Sand Ninja Village. No. Those who do not will have to go back and become hopeless slaves."

For those in hell, even a small beam of light will be desperately used to catch it.

This time, the Sand Ninja Village issued new wartime rules. As long as they kill the enemy, even if they die in battle, their family can continue to maintain their previous job that is enough to provide food and clothing. At the same time, one of the children in the family can be trained in orthodox ninja knowledge. After five years of education, you have the opportunity to become an official ninja, instead of being a slave ninja like them who can only practice incomplete secret techniques. If you can't become an official ninja, you won't be able to complete the secret techniques in your life.
