Naruto: I traveled through time with the Samsara Eye.

During this period of time, there was heavy snow in other places, but the territory of the Wind Kingdom was still the same as usual.

Even if it snows, it will melt quickly. It will be extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night.

The terrifying sandstorms blew up from time to time, causing great trouble to Konoha's combat troops.

If you are not familiar with the terrain, encountering such a natural disaster would be like being in dire straits.

After fighting each other, the ninjas of Konoha would rather encounter the enemies of the Sand Village and fight them than encounter such a natural disaster and then look for a place to hide with their heads in their hands.

Many teams died in confusion.

He didn't die at the hands of the enemy, but was killed by the bad weather in the Kingdom of Wind.

The Sand Village is also good at using terrain to fight.

If I can’t beat you in a head-on fight, then I’ll use tricks. Don’t you, Orochimaru, like to use tricks?

Now it's our turn.

The costs of war are no longer proportional to the benefits.

Orochimaru has already realized this problem.

The most sensible thing to do is to stop the war immediately, because there is nothing good to be gained by continuing the war.

Unfortunately, this was Orochimaru's personal idea, and the village's order was to continue fighting until the war was won.

Orochimaru had nothing to say about this. He had already gained enough glory and established enough prestige in this war, and his contributions were great enough.

Whether the war stops or continues has no effect on him.

Even if Konoha is defeated in the end, Orochimaru will not be affected.

However, the Sand Village began to become cowardly, which did make the war a little difficult to fight, and Konoha became timid.

Advance quickly and worry about the retreat.

But when it comes to a head-on confrontation, the Sand Village refuses to cooperate.

Following the enemy around, you are likely to be ambushed by the enemy and be affected by bad weather.

"interesting."

After staring at the map for a while, Orochimaru suddenly laughed out loud.

"Let someone from the logistics department come to see me."

"Yes, my lord."

The ninja on duty quickly ran to the logistics department to look for someone.

Soon, the person Orochimaru wanted to meet arrived.

"I need your logistics department to build such a windbreak fortress in the Konoha combat zone. Can you do it?"

Orochimaru picked up a simple blueprint. Although the blueprint was very simple, an experienced person could tell at a glance what kind of fortress Orochimaru wanted.

"The fortress doesn't need to be too big, nor does it need to be too strong. It just needs to be able to allow our people to rest in it and protect them from the cold and sandstorms."

As the war entered its final stage, the biggest threat to the Konoha ninja was no longer the enemy, but the severe weather and frequent natural disasters in the Wind Country.

The person from the logistics department looked at the blueprint carefully, studied it for a moment, and replied:

"Lord Orochimaru, it is not difficult to build a fortress like this, and the materials used are also very simple. All it requires is a group of ninjas who are good at earth escape techniques. But are these fortresses all built on our positions?"

"If you don't build it on your own position, do you want to build it in front of the enemy?"

Orochimaru made a joke.

As a result, the people in the logistics department were scared out of their wits.

The joke was not funny, at least the ninja from the logistics department could not laugh, because he was not sure whether Orochimaru was really joking or blaming him.

"Forget it, you go down."

Seeing that the other party was frightened, Orochimaru immediately lost interest.

For some reason, he began to miss the days when Jingyi was around. Among so many people in Konoha, he got along best with Jingyi alone.

You don’t need to care about other people’s identities, you can make jokes casually without worrying about the other person getting angry.

We can also sit together and discuss some ninjutsu and so on.

such a pity.

He was the only one in the camp.

Orochimaru looked up at the map with a slight smile on his face.

"Like to play dirty? What a coincidence, I like it too."

Are you from the Sand Ninja Village planning to do something shady?

Well then, I will proceed openly. Aren’t the environment and weather bad?

There are frequent natural disasters from time to time.

Well then, I will just build fortresses wherever Konoha is attacked. These simple fortresses will only be enough for Konoha's ninjas to take a temporary rest.

Is the temperature difference between day and night too big?

It’s okay, just go to the fortress and rest when you’re tired.

A natural disaster is coming?

It doesn’t matter, just rest in the fortress. In this horrible weather, the enemy has no ability to attack them, so just rest in peace.

The fortress does not need to be too big, just enough to accommodate six or seven people to rest. The more you build, the better.

Anyway, it's just a temporary fortress, so we don't need to pursue too high quality.

As Orochimaru's order was given, the people in the logistics department became active and began to run around the battlefield. So in the shortest time, a number of hexagonal fortresses, only two meters high, appeared on the battlefield.

With these fortresses, Konoha's ninjas fighting on the battlefield no longer need to look for places to hide and rest at night.

Just go into the fortress and rest.

Even leaving people on guard duty is better than looking for a place to rest everywhere.

We can still withstand the low temperatures, but we really can’t withstand the frequent sandstorms. However, with these fortresses, everything has changed.

Just as Orochimaru said, most ninjas can endure both low and high temperatures. When faced with terrible natural disasters, they can simply hide in the fortress to rest. In this kind of weather, it is difficult for the ninjas of the Sand Village to take the initiative to launch an attack.

Then the Sand Village discovered that Konoha's attack became radical again.

After finding out the truth, the Third Kazekage was silent for a long time.

At this moment, he admitted that Orochimaru had a talent for war.

As more and more fortresses appeared on the battlefield, the Third Kazekage knew that the Sand Village had no chance at all in this war.

Unless they continue to retreat.

But, can they still retreat?

Even if Konoha sent people to destroy these eyesores, it could still rebuild them quickly.

With the cooperation of the earth-style ninja, it was so easy.

It is possible that the speed at which you destroy cannot keep up with the speed at which others build.

How is this still playing?

There is no way to fight, and there is no way to retreat.

How long can the village hold out?

As the Kazekage, the Third Kazekage was well aware of the village's current situation, but he was unwilling to bow to Konoha and admit defeat in the war. This was the final bottom line, his bottom line and also the daimyo's bottom line.

Therefore, even if you can't hold on, you must persist.

Fortunately, after the Fire Country Daimyo suffered a setback, the Wind Country Daimyo also became angry and began to provide a lot of assistance to the Sand Village, which allowed the Sand Village to continue to hold on.

Otherwise, the Sand Village will need to raise the white flag just after the New Year.

"So, Sarutobi Hiruzen, how long can you hold out?"

The Third Kazekage raised his head and looked in the direction of Konoha.

The Sand Village was in great torment, holding back their anger and unwilling to bow their heads.

Konoha wasn't much better.

At this critical moment, the Daimyo of the Wind Country gave certain support to the Sand Village. Will the Daimyo of the Fire Country support Konoha?

I'm afraid I'll be lucky if I don't hold you back.

Since you people from Konoha are unable to invade the Land of Wind on a large scale, then just wait and see.

The Sand Village resisted stubbornly, and Konoha also gritted its teeth and persisted in the attack.

As time went by, the problem was put before the Third Hokage.

Konoha advanced step by step, pushing the front line towards the interior of the Wind Country bit by bit, but the Sand Village never gave up, kept resisting, and never gave up the war.

On the surface, Konoha still has the advantage and is constantly expanding its advantage.

But the Third Hokage knew that as it was his own family's business, Konoha would suffer heavy losses if the war was pushed forward like this.

When the Third Hokage learned that the Daimyo of the Wind Country had begun to provide assistance to the Sand Village, his mentality collapsed.

Why! !

You didn't help earlier, and you didn't help later, but you helped just when Konoha was about to win and the Sand Village was about to collapse.

This is not intentional bullshit!!

The Third Hokage, who never showed his inner emotions, was so angry that he tore the information to pieces.
