Naruto God Tree Arrives

The early stages of the Konoha Ninja Army's invasion of the Kingdom of Wind went very smoothly. They easily occupied the first city as planned without encountering any resistance, and used this as a time to spread their hearts to the surrounding areas.

However, although the rope tree's strategy is very sound, it takes a long time, and the hatred of the local people of the Wind Country is also a major hidden danger. The Konoha Ninja Army also has to face the harassment of the Sunagakure guerrillas, so there are many difficulties.

Konoha's 15-strong army looks like a lot, but if we want to ensure the stability and security of the defense zone, we can only occupy up to three areas centered on the city at one time.

If it exceeds this area, the Konoha ninja army will lose its absolute advantage in strength and risk being defeated by the Sunagakure guerrillas one by one.

But even if Nogeki was so careful, Konoha's ninja army would inevitably be attacked and harassed by Sunagakure guerrillas frequently, and even towns with military camps would be attacked by Sunagakure Air Force at night.

Speaking of which, we must introduce the air force that Sunagakure Village spent more than ten years and a lot of money to build.

Since both Konoha and ordinary people have a very strict blockade on technology, and Sunagakure Village does not have any technological talents or industrial foundation, it is impossible to imitate Konoha and create flying tools through chakra technology in a short period of time.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, you want to change. Since there is no condition to play with technology, it is natural for the senior management of Sunagakure to change their thinking and use ninjutsu to solve the problem.

And among the entire Sunagakure ninjutsu system, the one that is most closely related to machinery is of course the puppetry technique.

Under the leadership of two Sunagakure consultants, all Sunagakure's puppet masters gathered together. After several years of repeated exploration and experimentation, they finally created a special puppet that can carry humans.

This kind of puppet completely abandons the traditional humanoid structure, but takes a new approach to imitate the structure of a bird and uses two wings to fly. In order to reduce weight, the entire puppet was originally made of wood.The flying power of the puppet is transformed by the wind chakra provided by the puppet master through the puppet mechanism.

The initially created puppet looked exactly like a bird and relied on vibrating wings to fly, while the puppeteer stood directly on the back of the puppet and used chakra wires to control the puppet.

However, after experiments, Sunagakure's puppet master discovered that this structure has many shortcomings. First of all, it is not stable enough. Once the speed is too fast, the puppet master's silver is easily blown away by the air flow. Secondly, due to its large size, it is not as flexible as the Konoha Air Force. , and finally there are big flaws in defense and attack.

So after some targeted improvements, they changed the puppet's head to a hollow one and made the "eyes" transparent so that the puppeteer could sit in the "cockpit" and control the flying puppet. Problems such as free control, stability, flexibility, and defense have all been solved. In addition, other parts of the puppet are also equipped with complex long-range weapons, which can shoot hidden weapons to attack, and the abdomen is filled with cannonballs, which can bomb the ground.The principle of the cannonball is the same as the detonating charm, but it is replaced with a rougher material, which is lower cost, more powerful, and is not convenient for one person to carry, but it is very suitable for flying puppets. Konoha's airship also uses the same tool .

In this way, Sunagakure's flying puppet was completely finalized, and they called it Eagle One.

After the sub-station obtained the drawings of the Flying Eagle No. [-], the first reaction was: Isn't this an airplane? He really didn't expect that Sunagakure actually used the puppet technique to create a ninjutsu version of the airplane. Although some details were different, the overall structure was the same. almost.

However, this design is not of much value to the rope tree.Because airplanes are far inferior to the combination of aircraft and airships.

The speed of the aircraft is comparable to that of aircraft and airships, but the flexibility of the aircraft is far less than that of the Konoha ninjas who use moon steps to fight in conjunction with the aircraft. In an air battle, it is not only difficult to hit the Konoha Air Force fighting alone, but also very easy to destroy. , in terms of defense and attack, it is far inferior to the larger airship.

Moreover, the cost of an airplane is five or six times that of an aircraft. Three airplanes can be used to build an airship, and the cost performance is far inferior. Therefore, Rope Tree abandoned the airplane design from the beginning.Rather than investing money in aircraft, it is better to design steel suits for individual combat, or even a larger mecha "Gundam". These two designs are the future development direction of the Konoha Air Force.

The Flying Eagle No. [-] designed by Sunagakure is not only more expensive to build, but also has high requirements for its pilots. Only an elite chunin-level puppet master or above can control such a huge flying puppet in battle.Controlling a Flying Eagle One is equivalent to ruling and controlling three puppets, which requires high skills and chakra content.Therefore, the entire Sunagakure currently only has [-] airmen.

Logically speaking, with the strength of the Sunagakure Air Force, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Konoha Air Force.The rope tree has Tianxing Fortress as its base, and the two thousand Anbu who are good at the Six Styles and the Star Ninja under the Summer Star are all elite air force, and the ordinary air force led by Mazo also has tens of thousands.With this kind of strength advantage, it is only possible to protect the airspace of the defense zone. It is lucky that there is no bombing of the Kingdom of Wind. How can it be bullied by Sunagakure?

The reason is that the Sunagakure Air Force very clumsily adopted night raid bombing tactics. In the dark night, it is difficult for the Air Force to see distant targets and cannot detect the opponent in time. It is also impossible for Konoha's Air Force to complete an air blockade.

So how did Sunagakure's air force determine the target and launch an eastward air strike after the dark exercise?

The reason is that civilians in various towns within the defense zone have already discussed with Sunagakure's guerrillas, and will turn on the lights every night, and even quietly light bonfires near the military camp to provide coordinates for Sunagakure's air force.

In this way, the Sunagakure Air Force flying into Konoha's defense zone could easily identify the bombing target through the firelight on the ground.Although Konoha explicitly prohibits civilians from turning on lights at night, and often lit bonfires in the wild to confuse the Sunagakure Air Force, the effect is not very good, and they are always destroyed by ground guerrillas, and the fighting between the two sides becomes more and more intense.

Therefore, a full month after Konoha invaded the Kingdom of Wind, except for the three areas occupied in the initial stage, the rest of the time was spent on maintaining law and order and appeasing the civilians. The 15 Konoha army stood still when faced with a mere [-] Sunagakure guerrillas, completely unable to take advantage of their strength.

Konoha's top management has become impatient due to the anxiety of the war situation, and many people have proposed using the three-light policy to directly destroy the towns of the Kingdom of Wind.

However, he was rejected by Rope Tree. His purpose was not to subjugate the country, but to annex the land and people of the Kingdom of Wind. Massacre would never make the Kingdom of Wind surrender. It would only deepen hatred and never achieve its goal.
